And all this time what was Marion
doing?
This house was even more lonelv
then than it is now. There were few
country seats around. and even with
their tenants, Mr.. Vernon had little or
no intimacy People did not quite IN
derstand him or his position. Thero

was sup. osed TO be-nOt a lady. a rel
ative and his wife-but person OF in
ferior birth; some even thought her
a servant. who had consented to reside
with him without troubling herself
about the formal ceremony of mar
riage He must have known that this
was the general impression, and vet
he never contradicted it in any way
So no one ever came to the Hall. anl
Marion wondered a little at the I'M
social neighborhood and heard nothin,
for long time of the dangerous init
macy her Indifferent husband had
formed.
At last the tale leaked out through
the good offices of her own maid Sh5
was shocked and indignant, but some
thing impel!ed her to seek Mr.. Vernon
at once and know the truth. She went
down into the study. where he was
lounging in an easy chair. smoking 4
cigar, and thinking, probably. much
less of Mrs. Vernon than of Mrs
Moore. He laid aside the cigar and
she sat down beside him and began
her hopeless task.

Big Trade Awaiting Development from

In Leslie's appears most interest
ing article upon the possibilities of
Chicago as a seaport. The author, w.
D. Hubert, sums up his argument by
remarking that, when all is said and
done, the facts remain that transpOrta-
ton by water is almost invariably
cheaper than by land. and that at
least a portion of a cargo-say from
1900 to 1900 tons-can be carried
through the Welland and st. Lawrence
canals without breaking bulk. The lat
ter point is of vital importance. espeei-
ally in shipments of fragile goods
which will not bear much handling.
The delays in passing the canals will
be cOunterbalanced TO some extent by
the delays which now take place in
New York custom house. 1t is even
claimed that, because Of the length
of time required to get merchandise
through the crowded warehouses OF
New York, goods from Europe can be
delivered at the lake ports more
promptly by way of the ST. Lawrence
than by the present routes. AS to the
, comparatively small size Of the steam
ers. that may prove TO be in some cases
a positive advantage. for it will en-
able them. like the Wergeland, to visit
lesser European ports which now have
no direct communication with Ameri
ca-cities too small TO absorb the car
go of larger steamship. or to furnish
her with q load for her return trip.
Even if the traffic should not be az
satisfactory as desired in 1901, il may

In the early morning they come down
