Mr. Johnston talks very interestingly

believes II was mistake for Canada
to turn down reciprocity. lie says
that there were some things I'm the
treaty which were a little hard FOR
both farmers and manufacturers, yet
in the aggregate il was evenly ad-
justed. Had II not been for the old
Tory element which refused to as
sist the Revolutionary fathers during
the war OF 17T6 TO 1888. and who
were allowed to settle in the prov
inces of Quebec and Toronto. the
measure would have been accepted.
These people have always remained
bitter against their. Yankee cousins,
but the most conservative are in
favor Of free trade and of annexa-
ton. Had IL not been that old
England had spent millions To send
speakers and had many more promises
TO her American colonies, she
would have carried out the reci-
procity conditions. Mr.. Johnston has
shown the correspondent several

 They wrought with the oars like men possessed, yet with a machine like precision that drove the boat fast and furiously-without attempt to still the splashing of their blades. Con- cealment of their purpose from those who remained aboard the schooner was out Of the question. The shouts, the shots, the play of fashlamps along the beach-as though Bedlam had loosed half @ dozen lunatic will O the wisps upon the holy peace of night-must have betrayed the fact that they had turned the tables long before the dory left the inshore shoals.
 The commonest precautions how ever, made them pause and rest upon their oars while yet little way from their goal
 Only an ominous silence rewarded the utmost efforts Of their straining senses; no sound was audible other than the gentle whine of an ungreased block; nothing was visible beyond the sinister glare of that almost stationary green lantern

 A dozen lusty strokes brought them alongside the schooner, and as the dory scraped the waist of the larger vessel the two young men dropped oars, rose. and seizing the low gun wales, lifted themselves to the deck
 Nothing opposed them; the deck was ignorant of other footsteps than their own, the schooner as silent as only g becalmed ship can be.
 Without further consultation, Alan led quickly aft and down the compan ionway to the cabin, where a dim light burned-a smoky lamp swinging ir gimbals above a cluttered table.
 Of the two stateroom doors one dis closed an empty cabin, the other waf locked.
 Trying the handle roughly, Alar fancied he heard a sound within. Paus ing. he called, with a thrill of fearfu hope:
 Hello, in there!'
 The respone was cry of incredulou: delight; "Alan!"
 By way of answer Alan hurled him self bodily against the door At tho
