CANADIAN STATESMEN.
How They Act While Attending Theil
in Pa nanf

How They Act While Attending Their
Duties in Parliament.
It is a mistake to think that the act
which led to the confederation of the
various provinces in 1867 has attained
no higher meaning in the life of the
Canadian people than that of consti
tutional union, says Donahoe's Maya
zine. It carries with it meaning OF
far deeper import-a union of hearts,
whose offspring is oneness of patriotic
aim and purpose. Of course it would be
idle to say that the Canadian people
are a unit upon all questions of vital
interest to the life and growth of the
dominion. The geographical interests
of Canada are so varied that there must
necessarily be at times some friction
and clashing of provincial needs and
ambitions This is the case at Wash
ington; this is the case, too, in so small
confederation as the cantons of
Switzerland.
- A stranger visiting the gallery Of the
Canadian house of commons is struck
with the dignity and decorum which
mark the proceedings and surround
even the warmest and keenest of de-
bates. Parliamentary procedure being
rigidly adhered to, there is little room
for uncalled for personalities in the
heat of a discussion. Sometimes, how
ever, when the house has been sitting
for hours, wearied with the perplexities
and incoherencies of some member
from "way back" suddenly, as If
through the unity of desperation, the
usual dignity of the house is relaxed
and grave members from such intel
lectual centers as Montreal andToronto
play the schoolboy and outvie one an
other in "shying" blue books at the
heads of slumbering and inoffensive
members. OF the 215 members that
make up the house of commons, in
point of ability and gifts, 20 per cent
of them are below mediocrity; 20 per
cent of them occupy the plane OF
mediocrity; 40 per cent possess ad-
mitted ability, and~the remaining 20
per cent are men of commanding talent.

set. Half the ladies in the city were
in love with Mr.. Linmere. He was so
distingue, carried himself so loftily,
and yet was so CALAMITY condescend-
ing and so inimitably fascinating. He
knew Europe like a book, sang like a
professor, and knew. just how to hand
a lady her fan, adjust her shawl, and
take her from her carriage. Accom-
plishments which make men popular,
always.
Early in July Mr.. Trevlyn and Mar
gle, accompanied by gay party, went
down to Cape May. Mr. Trevlyn had
long ago forsworn everything of the
kind; but since Margie Harrison had
come to reside with him he had given
up his hermit habits, and been quite
like other nice equity old gentlemen.
The party went down on Thursday
Mr.. Paul Linmere following on Satur-
day. Margie had hoped he would not
come; in his absence she could have
enjoyed the sojourn, but his presence
destroyed for her all the charms of sea
and sky. She grew frightened, some
times, when she thought how intense
ly she hated him. And in October she
was to become his wife.
Some way, Margie felt strangely at
ease on the subject. She knew that
arrangements were all made, that her
wedding trousseaQ was being gotten up
by fashionable modiste, that Delmon-
leo had received orders for the feast,
and that the oranges were budded,
which, when burst into flowers, were to
adorn her forehead on her bridal day.
She despised Linmere with her whole
soul, she dreaded him inexpressibly, yet
she scarcely gave her approaching mar
riage with him single thought. She
wondered that she did not; when she
thought of it at all, she was shocked
to find herself so impressive.
Her party had been week at Cape
May, when Archer Trevlyn came down,
with the wife of his employer, Mr.. Bel
grade. The lady was in delicate health
and had been advised to try sea air
and surf bathing. Mr.. Belgrade's bust
ness would not allow of his absence at
just that time, and he had SHOWN MS
confidence in his head clerk by select
ing him as his wife's escort.
Introduced into society by so we'll es-
tablished an aristocrat as Mrs. Bel
grade, Arch might at once have taken
a prominent place among the fashion
ables; but his singularly handsome
face and high bred manners made him
an acquisition to any company. But he
never forgot that he had been street
sweeper, and he would not submit TO
be patronized by the very people who
had once, perhaps, grudged him the
| pennies they had thrown to him as
| they would have thrown bread to a
starving dog. So he avoided society,
and attended only on Mrs. Belgrade.
| But from Alexandrine Lee he could not

escape. She fastened upon him at
once. She had habit of singing out
gentlemen, and giving them the dis
tinction of her attentions, and no one
thought of noticing it now. Arch was
i'll at ease beneath the infection, but
he was a thorough gentleman and could
not repulse her rudely.
A few days after the arrival OF Mrs.
Belgrade, Arch took her down to the
beach to battle. The beach was alive
with the gorgeous grotesque figures OF
the bathers. The air was bracing, the
surf splendid.
Mr.. Trevlyn's carriage drove down
soon after Mrs. Belgrade had finished
her mornings dip" and Margie and
Mr.. Llnmere, accompanied by Alexan-
drine Lee, alighted. They were in
bathing costume, and Miss Lee, espy-
ing Arch, fastened upon him without
ceremony.
ooh, Mr.. Trevlyn," she said animal
eddy, 81 am glad to have come across
you. I was just telling Mr.. Linmere
that two ladies were hardly safe with
only one gentleman, in such surf as
there is this morning. l shall have to
depend on you to take care of me. Shall
II"
Of course, Arch could not refuse, and
apologized to Mrs. Belgrade, who good
naturally urged him forward, he TAX
ing charge of Miss Lee.
;r,r,ovo nffopo6 Marcia his hand tO
lead her in, but she declined. He kept
close beside her, and when they stood
waist deep in the water, and huge
breaker was approaching, he put his
arm around her shoulders. With an
impatient gesture she tore herself away.
He made an effort to retain her, and in
the struggle Margie lost her footing,
and the receding wave bore her out to
sea.
Linmere grew pale as death. He
knew if Margie was drowned, he was
ruined man. His pictures and statu-
airy would have to go under the ham,
mer-his creditors were only kept from
striking by his prospect of getting
rich wife to pay his debts. He cast an
imploring eye on the swimmers around
him, but he was too great coward to
risk his life among the swirling break
ers.
Only one man struck bravely out to
the rescue. Arch Trevlyn threw Off the
clinging hand of Miss Lee, and with
strong arm pressed his way through the
white-capped pillows. He came near to
Margie, and saw the chestnut CLEAN of
her hair on the bright treacherous
water, and in an instant it was swept
under a long line of snowy foam. She
rose again at little distance, and her
eyes met his pleadingly. Her lips syl-
Tabled the words, "save me''
He heard them, above all the deafen-
ing roar of the waters. They nerved
him on to fresh exertions. Another
stroke, and he caught her arm, drew
her to him, held her closely to his
breast, and touched her wet hair with
his lips. Then he controlled himself,
and spoke coolly:
'"Take my hand Miss Harrison, and
I think I can tow you safely to the shore.
Do not be afraid"
81 am not afraid" she said, quietly.
How his heart leaped at the sound Of
her voice. How happy he was that she
was not afraid-that she trusted her life
to him! Of how little value he would
have reckoned his own existence, if he
had purchased hers by its loss!

break that fiery spirit! 1t will make

Something white and shadowy bound
his path. A spectral hand was laid on
his arm, chilling like ice, even through
his clothing. The CHASTITY face of a
woman-a face framed in jet black hair
and lit up by great black eyes bright
as stars, glanced through the mirk Of
the night.
The man gazed into the weird face,
and shook like a leaf in the blast. His
arm sank nerveless to his side, palsied
by that frozen touch, his voice was so
unnatural that he started at the sound.
"My God! Arabel We're! Do the
dead come back?"
The great unnaturally brilliant eyes
seemed to burn into his brain. The
cold hand frightened on his arm. A
breath like wind freighted with snow
crossed his face.
Speak, for heavens sake" he cried.

He started from the strange pres
ence, and caught at post for support.

.bIed like the most abject coward. Only
for q moment-and then, when he
looked again, the apparition had van

Not daring to cast look behind him
he hurried home, and up to his spacious
parlor on the second floor.
Linmere turned up the gas into a
flare, and, throwing off his coat, flung
himself into an armchair and wiped
the perspiration from his forehead, He
looked ABOUT the room with half fright
ened, searching eyes. He dreaded soil
tude, and he feared company, yet felt
the necessity of speaking to some one.
His eye lighted on the greyhound doz-

through bitterly cold nights He received
slight but painful wound in the right
hip and glaze on the left knee when
SHERIFF Clements fired four bullets at him
a week ago tonight,
Boche says he had $3.50 when farmer
coaxed him, against his will, to visit the
resort where he shot farmer. He says
farmer urged him against pfotests 20 drink

that his head began TO swim immedia tely.
