Mazette Makes a Discovery.

Mazette Makes a Discovery.
Affairs could not continue much fur
ther without coming to a crisis.
There came the day when the mar
quis found he could no longer blind
one pair of eyes, at least.
Mazette had remembered.
The marquis was taken by surprise
when, upon entering the little studio,
he found Mazette in tears.
Come, what has gone wrong?" he
exclaimed in dire dismay, for, like all
men, he felt his utter impotence under
such conditions.
She came toward him, smiling
through her tears-there was upon her
face reproach. delight and keen artis-
tic disappointment
why did you not tell me before?"
she asked. as he took her hand in his.
Tell you-indeed, if I only knew
what you meant | would only be too
glad-this is. then you have dis
covered all?" for it dawned upon him
that she was no longer blind.
'Oh, Jack, how dreadfully cruel of
you," as she dropped her head insorder
that he should not see the tears of
modification.
TO conceal my identity all this
time-yes, in one sense it was. but l
had an object in it all, assure you,"
he declared sturdily.
She looked up troubled.
what does it all meant hope,
pray you are doing what is right
that is" and there she stopped con-
fused.
Upon which he laughed almost bois-
terously and possessed himself of her
other hand-Jney were such good
friends, such old friends, there could
be no harm in this natural and inno-
cent action
Have no fears, little woman-my
patent of nobility was issued in the

familiar in your voice dinna ken-its
vera curious"
The marquis by this time had man
aged to get hold of his honest hand,
and was squeezing it with much emo
ton.
''Ah! McGregor, you're always doing
something for others. The last saw
of you, my dear fellow, was when l Of
fered myself as a target for Captain
Livermore's bullet. and declined to
murder him afterward'
The man from Scotia uttered a roar,
and insisted upon embracing the other,
much to the amusement of the crowd
that had gathered.
This extraordinary meeting was one
of the most pleasant things that had
occurred to the marquis since striking
London.
He had in fashion made search for
this old and tried friend, but as yet
had been unable to get track of him,
SO that the encounter came as most
agreeable surprise.
McGregor's story was told in few
sentences-he had taken wife and
started in bravely to increase the
population of Her Majesty's people
with pair of twins as a beginning,
but beastly luck had swooped down
upon him, and he was having a hard
pull at present, though nothing could
crush his jolly spirits.
This pleased his companion more
than words could tell. since it opened
a way for him to assist his old friend,
Worry no longer, McGregor. for
there is bright future ahead. l am
in a way to put you in a position
where money will flow into your pock-
cts. God bless you for a true-hearted
friend There is my card-call on me
at ten tomorrow, and you can have
anything you ask. Meanwhile take
this for temporary loan-not a word
against it-I won't hear a murmur.
Go home to your wife and babies, and
remember me in your prayers. Such
luck to meet you after searching in
vain-it must have been an especial
act of Providence When you come to
the hotel tomorrow send up your
name to the Marquis of Montezuma"
Whereupon the McGregor was actu-
ally compelled to lean against a house
for support. SO wonderful was the in
telligence thus communicated.
1T beats "a was all he could. NUT
ter.
When safely landed in his hotel he
resolved never again to be caught
mapping in such a reckless way.
After all. it had been an eventful
day. and brought both joy and regrets.
The marquis had a strange feeling
as though that for which he had
yearned all through those dreary
years was about to be snatched away
from him in his hour of victory.
The little germ was working, and in
due time it might leaven the whole
lump-a few more such rude shocks as
he had received when those two little
cherubims captured him in Fedora's
house would certainly complete his
discontinue, and if he had hoped to
continue cruel and relentless he must
take no chances in that direction.

CHAPTER XVIII.
In Due Time.


No doubt the Kilkenny cats had a
very salubrious time of it when they
INDUCED in their little engagement.
but such an encounter could not bear
comparison with the scramble in
which the marquis engaged when
these three London footpads set upon
him.
The fellow on his back was interfer-
ing with his blows as much as he pos
sibly could, and as a result the others
were enabled to throw themselves
upon him.
Matters were in this mixed-up state
and the final result in doubt, when
new element was precipitated into the
game.
An outsider hurled himself upon the
struggling mass, and by an exercise
of tremendous muscular strength tore
the man loose from the gentlemans $
shoulders, though he clung with such
pertinacity that he carried away the
collar of the marquis coat
The newcomer gave him a toss that
sent him down a nearby area, where
a crash of glass and startled screams
announced his prompt arrival.
Then this unexpected ally turned
his attention to the others-the mar
quis, freed from his tormentor in the
rear, had opened his batteries upon
them afresh, and was dealing out his
blows with recl1les abandon. when he
saw one of them snatched bodily from
his feet and tossed through the open
door of the four wheeler as though
he might have been a mere sack of
oats.
Upon this the last of the trio, who
proved to be no other than the driver.
uttered a yell of fear and scrambling
in haste to his seat, laid the whip on
his horse and clattered down the mar
row street.
Thus the field was suddenly cleared
of enemies in double-quick order, and
the manner of their disposal seemed
to greatly amuse the muscular, red
bearded giant who had come so op-
portunely to the assistance of the be-
leaguered marquis, for he roared with
laughter.
Gang ava wi We bath, and dinna'
forget the puir dell who lies in a
muekle yonder. Man, they were maiT
than We could weel handle. but it did
me good to be of assistance to ye, and
that's no lee," he exclaimed. assisting
to brush the gentleman off.
The marquis at sound of his voice
was stunned, but he recovered in time
to cry out:
Donald McGregor, by my life it is"
"Aweel, ye seem to know me, sir.
though l confess the honor is all on
your side. Still, there is something

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

Two mines that have not been ship
ping for some time have recently re-
joined the Boundary shipping list, the
Snow Shoe and No. 7. Ore sent out Of
Boundary mines last week amounted
to 1924 tons.
Returns are now to hand from the
Nelson smelter on the first carload of
ore shipped this winter from the Will
cox mine and have encouraged the
management to proceed with steady
shipments as long as rawhiding is pos
sible. The gross value of the ore went
over $40 per ton, and the single car
load of 20 tons netted the company
the sum of $10S4. The contents OF the
ore were returned as follows: Gold,
3.07 ounces; silver, n ounces; lead,
To per cent, and the gross value of the
20 tons, less 5 per cent smelter deduc-
ton, was 1926. The ore was taken
from the Fourth of July shaft, across
the whole width of the payshoot, which
varies from 10 inches to four feet in
width.
"The Fisher Maiden promises to
make one of the larger mines of the

Gently. Mr. Greenwood is the manager
of the Fisher Maiden, which is being
operated by the Fisher Maiden-Troy
Mines, limited. The property is locat-
ed on Four Mile creek, in the SLOGAN.
Continuing, Mr.. Greenwood said: Dur
ing the past month we have been get
ting matters in shape for shipping, and
are now sacking ore as a preliminary
thereto. The new company took hold
of the property on March IA, 1901, and
took charge on the first of the present
year. Under the old regime the devel
opment was confined to the upper por
ton of the property. Since then we
have traced the vein down the slope
for a distance of 1900 feet and have
developed the ledge by tunnels driver
in on it. One of the tunnels is in 81
feet and the other is in Ga feet, and c

THE BRITISH WERE TRAPPED

Pretoria. Feb. 17.-One hundred ana
fifty mounted infantry men, while pa
trolling the Kip river, south Of Jo-
hannesburg, February u, surrounded
a farmhouse where they suspected
Beers were in hiding. A single Boer
broke away from the house and the
British started to pursue him. The
Boer climbed kopje, the British fol-
lowing. Immediately a heavy fire was
opened upon them from three sides.
The British found themselves in
trap and in a position where they
were unable to make any defense.
Eight of the British officers made 81
gallant effort and defended the ridge
with carbines until revolvers until
they were overpowered. The British
had two officers and ten men killed
and several officers and about forty
men wounded before the force was
abe to fall back under cover of a
