oratOry, fitted with an elaborate marble altar
and vessels of gold. On this floor, tOo are the

styles of various centuries. From the windows
of this floor Mr.. MalOney can see the spire of ST.
Catharines Church, which he built in memory
Of his youngest daughter.
When Mr.. Maloney takes a visitor out to see
his gardens he leads him directly to the furthest
end of the grounds, where an artificial water
fall keeps trickling away behind statue of
Dogenes. The water, however is not for the
tub of the ancient philosopher. A back
ward glance at the house offers the most
imposing view of this structure at the end
ot vista of trees and flowers and surmount-
ing series of terraces and marble steps.

From the vantage ground one thinks he is look

closer acquaintance the garden is found to con-

with shrubbery and trees, and linked together by
an archway, halfway between tie statue of
Around the edge of the circle over which the
tub philosopher stands guard are hits Of Tho
old World which the owner of Ballangarry has
sought to revive. Leading his guest through
one opening into the shrubbery he brings him

After survey of the grounds, when one asks
the owner Of Ballangarry how he attempts to re
produce such scenes from memory, he answers.
Ah, that is the secret. 1 do not trust to nv
memory When am abroad I take photographs |
OF these various places, snapshots, you know
After l return l give the pictures to my gar |
deher and tell him to duplicate them. If his first
attempt is not satisfactory reproduction of the
original, he makes another. 1t has taken five |
years to lay out these grounds, and they are not
completed yet"
