angry at herself, Agnes sat down
beside her patient and lifted his
head to erknee.
Then you aren't shamming, Mr..
Dudley VIII you tell me what
is the matter 2 she said with great
severity, somewhat counteracted
by the touch Of her hand OH his
forehead.
Shamming Oh, Ages There
was a pause. and then he pos
sessed himself of both her hands
and looked steadily into her eyes.
My leg is broken, | think, and
I'm naturally a little cold. But
mo, dearest, the leg doesn't
matter; you must listen! ! never
found out where you lived till
a few weeks ago. Your friend
had gone away when I came back
to Montreal. You know-no, of
course you don't know-buti |
was in England for more than a
year, nursing my father, nd a
then-he died. | wrote to you
twice, and told you-something
and when no answer came Il
thought of course you didn't care.
Oh, stupid, stupid boy And
| never got your letters !
Then, at last. / managed to-
trace you. | came to Frederic
ton, and there they directed me
to Woodlands Settlement. So Is
took train. but it left me miles
away, and started to finish my
journey on snow-shoes. That
was yesterday. I got tea at a
farmers house, and he said I
had come to the Back Settle
ment, and tried to keep me all
night. Of course I had been
directed wrongly at the station.
/ left Mr.-I forget his name
about nine. He gave me a Ian
tern, and l would have got on
finely, only l pitched over some
big fallen tree, or something, and
my leg went snap, and | just
managed to crawl here. 1t aoas
a pretty bad night, dear heart,
but 1 didn't freeze. This little
house saved me from that.
You poor boy! What pain you
must be in +! Wait a minute,
though; I know what to do!
She tore a leaf from her sketch
book and hastily wrote few
imperative lines to John. Then
she folded it carefully, gave it to
Bevis, and pointing in the direc-
ton of the house, she said, Go,
good dog! Go home ! The in
telligent creature licked her hand
and looked questioningly in her
face, then gave a bark and
plunged hastily away among the
trees.
1t was nearly an hour before
John arrived, with two stalwart
youths from the next farm and
hastily improvised litter. In
that hour, in spite Of pain and
anxiety, the lovers grew to un-
derstand each other perfectly at
last.
A fortnight later, when Jack
was promoted TO the drawing
room sofa, and Agnes sat beside
him, they fell to making plans
for the future, as the wedding
was to be, in a month, and they
were all to go to Fredericton to
prepare for it as soon as Jack
could be moved. Mrs. Castleton
came in while they were in the
mist of cloudland, and sat down
with pleased interest to put in a
word about silks and laces and
the latest fashions in travelling
suits.
And oh, Agnes, how queer it
will be to hear you called Mrs.
Dudley she said.
Agnes flushed, and Jack raised
himself with an air of apprehen-
sion funny to behold.
Why, she won't be Dearest,
didn't I tell you You will be
Lady Strathmont. Father was
the Earl thought you knew
and am the only son. Oh, by
Jove, Agnes, I hope you don't
mind

Buckwheat Cakes

There is nothing on the dining room
table and nothing that could be placed
there that is SO great and formidable an
enemy to the human face as buckwheat
cakes. They are sure to make the COM
plexion yellow and covered with erup-
tiona. Don't insult your face by putting
buckwlieat cakes into it. They head the
entire list of complexion destroyers.

AT THE MASONIC FAIR.
Engagement of Quartet for the Dane
ing Palace.

The representative of the organization
that will conduct the dancing palace during
the Masonic fair in Convention Hall, be-
ginning April Is next, and continuing for
two weeks, has notified the. committee in
charge that he has succeeded in dating the
'Sunnyland" quartet. The contract was
signed in New York yesterday and the
quartet, it is stated, will positively appear
nightly in the dancing palace during the
progress of the fair. The history of the
four negro singers is regarded as interest
ing. They were discovered by members
of one of the grand opera troupes who were
being shown through one of the large to-
bacco factories at Richmond. Va The
manager of the concern, for the edification
of the visitors, called upon the quartet,
which was composed of factory hands. to
sing for the distinguished musicians and
artists and the result ofthe impromptu con-
cert was an engagement to tour the con-
,Inental and English vaudeville circuits. The
colored singers were received enthusiastical-
ly in Europe, where genuine plantation
songs, sung with the true negro touch of
melody, were great novelty.
The singers returned to New York in
April of last year and were Immediately en-
gagged for the roof garden season at the
close of which they travelled the northern
and western states and will conclude their
season at Los Angeles this MONTH
On their return from the west their first
appearance in this city will be at the dane
ing palace in connection with Prof. Barnes
troupe of cake walkers 1t is said that
their voices are wonderful. The range of
the first tenor and second bass being re-
garded as phenomenal.

the face of this unexpected development.
Isaac Stephenson, the millionaire lumber
man of Marinette, the richest man in the
state. the political hacker of La Toilette,
now seems to be certain of the choice. He
has announced himself candidate for
the short term with the added announce
ment that he will not seek the office for the
full term beginning March !. 1859.
To select Mr.. Stephenson would be SIM
pie solution of the problem. 1t would give
him honor which neither the Spooner
or the La Toilette followers would be-
grudSe him. and at the same time would
allow the other candidates to mature their
booms, and continue their campaigns along
the line mapped out before the announce
ment of Mr.. Spooncrs resignation. Mr..
Stephenson has long had senatorial ambi-
tons: He tried to secure the election
eight years ago when J. V. Quarles was
finally chosen after Il long deadlock.
1t was through his defeat at that time
that he was led to support La Toilette. as
he blamed the opponents of La Toilette for
his defeat. He was a candidate again for
the senatorShip when Quaries term ended,
but La Toilette was elected in the face of
supposed pledge that Stephenson should
then receive the delayed honor. La Fol-
lctte for Il time was expected to resign and
allow Stephenson to enter the mllionaires'
club. but again the lumberman was diSap-
pointed. Now his ambition is likely to be
fulfilled.

Prof. Sidwell stated that there Is no con-
nection between the two cases, as the pupils
named have not been together.
As result Of the development of the dis
ease Prof. Sidwell has decided to close the
school for a week. This action was taken
by him on account of the anxiety of some
of the parents and as an extraordinary
measure of precaution. Besides the regu-
lar system of fumigation employed by the
District health department., Prof. Sidwell
will. at his own expense take extra pre-
caution, In order that the building shall
be thoroughly fumigated the principal has
advanced the Easter vacation. and his pu-
pills are now having a weeks holiday. The
boys and girls attending will get but two
days holiday during Easter week, however
Good Friday and Easter Monday.
1t is stated little Miss Jones complained
last Monday of having headache, and DR..
Sidwell, being on the alert, sent her to her
home in the navy yard Immediately. Her
case was diagnosed as diphtheria the sue
ceeding Wednesday.
The work of fumigating the building was
commenced this morning. Every room in
the school will be given thorough treat
ment, and, it is stated, there will be abso-
lutely no risk in the pupils returning to
school next Thursday.
