How They Act While Attending Their

1t 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 thar that of a consti-
tutional union. says Donahoe's Maya
zine. 1t carries with it a 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 hat 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
a confederation as the cantons of
Switzerland.
A stranger visiting the gallery of the
Canadian house of is struck
with the dignity and decorum which
mari 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
neat of a discussion. Sometimes, how
ever, when the house has been sitting
for hours, wearied with the perplexities
and incoherencies of some member

through the unity of desperation, the

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
m%ediocrity; 40 per CEN possess ad-
mitted ability, and the remaining 20
per cent are men of commanding talent.

He judged her by the majority of
women he had met, and finding her in
different, he sought to arouse her jeal-

by 10 means adverse to his attentions.
But Margie hailed the transfer with
relief which was so evident that Mr..
Linmere, piqued and irritated, took up
his hat to leave, in the midst of one of
Miss Lees most brilliant descriptions
whence she had but just returned. He
went over to the sofa where Margie was
sitting.

was aware, he touched his lips to her
forehead. She tore the hand away from
him. and a flush of anger sprang to
her cheek. He surveyed her with adj

woman, especially as he intended to be
able to subdue it when it pleased him.
Her anger made her a thousand times
more beautiful. He stood looking at

said, in that singularly purring voice
of hers. "Ah, Linmere is magnificent!
Such eyes, and hair, and such a voice!
Well. Margie, you are a fortunate girl"

he did not have any attachment for
him.
Come here, sir" said Linmere, au-
thoritatively.
Still the animal did not stir. Linmere

dogs disobedience aroused his rage.

Linmere went back to his chair, and
sat down with a sullen face, but he
could not rest there. He rose, and go

ebony box, which he opened, and from
which he took a miniature in a golden
case. He hesitated a moment before

dark brilliant eyes. There was a dewy

Early in July Mr.. Trevlyn and Mar
gle, accompanied by a 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 trousseau was being gotten up
by a fashionable modiste, that Deimon-
leo had received orders for the feast,
and that the oranges we're budded.

She despised Linmere with her whole
soul, she dreaded him inexpressibly, yet
she scarcely gave her approaching mar
riage with him a single thought. She
wondered that she did not; when she
thought of it at all, she was shocked
to find herself so impassive.
Her party had been a 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 BUSH

just that time, and he had shown his

a prominent place among the fashion

face and high bred made him
an acquisition to any company. But he
never forgot that he had been a 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

gentlemen, and giving them the dis

thought of noticing it now. Arch was
i'll at east beneath the inhiction, but
he was a thorough gentleman and could
not repulse her rudely.
A few days after the arrival of Mrs.
Belgrade, Arch took her dow to the
beach to battle. The beach was alive

close beside her, and when they stood
waist deep in the water, and a 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 a
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 a
rich wife to pay his debts. He cast an
imploring eye on the swimmers around
him, but he was too great a 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 a
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 tr%eacherous
water, and in an instant it was swept
under a long line of snowy foam. She
rose again at a 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 l can tow you safely to the shore.

How his heart leaped at the sound of
her voice! How happy he was that she

had purchased hers by its loss,
