It continued to increase and spread east- ward; and that proved the steamer was con- _tinuing her course.
The sun drew close to the horizon.
‘They don’t see us,’ said Helen, faintly.
‘No,’ said Hazel; ‘mot yet.’
‘And the sun is just setting. It is all over.” She put her handkerchief to her eyes a moment, and then, after a sob or two she eaid,almost cheerfully: ‘Well dear friend we were happy till that smoke came to disturb us; but let us try and be as happy now

‘Why, what will bring her?’
‘I shall bring her.’

CHAPTER XLVI.
HELEN had forgotten all about the bon- fire. She row asked whether he was sure those on board the steamer could see the bonfire. T&en Hazel told her that it was now of prodigious size and height. Some six months before he was crippled he had added and acided to it.
‘The bonfire,’ said he, ‘will throw a ruddy glare over the heavens, that they can’t help ‘seeing on board the steamer. Then, as they are not on a course, but on a search, they will certainly run a few miles south- ward to see what it is. They will say it is either a beacon or a ship on fire, and, in ‘either case, they will turn the boat's head this way. Well, before they ‘have run southward half a dozen | miles, their leokout will tee the bonfire, and the island in its light. Let us get to the boat, my lucifers are there.’
She lent him her arm to the buat, and stood by while he made his preparations. He took a pine torch and smeared it over with pitch; then put his lucifer-box in his bosom and _ took his cruteh. His face was drawn pitiably, but his closed lips betrayed unshaken and unshakable resolution. He shouldered his crutch and hoppled up as far as the cavern. Here Helen interposed.
‘Don’t you go toiling up the hill,’ said she. ‘Give me the lucifer and the torch, and let me light the beacon. I shall be there in half the time you will.’
‘Thank you! thank you!’ said Hazel, eagerly, not to say violently.
He wanted it done ; but it killed him to doit. He than gave her his instruc- tions.
‘Tt is as big as a haystack,’ said he, ‘and as dry as a~chip} and there are eight bundles of straw placed expressly. Light the bundles to windward first, then the others; it will soon be all in a blaze.” ‘Meanwhile,” said Helen, ‘you prepare our supper. I feel quite faint—for want of it.
Hazel assented.
‘It is the last we shall ’ he was going to say it was the last they would eat to- gether; but his voice failed him, and he hobbled into the cavern, and _ tried to smother his emotion in work. He lighted the fire, and biew it into a

Against the Harbor Grace “men.
A despatch of the 29th ult., from Harbor Grace, says:— Mary Purce)l, Ellen Gardner, and John Glavine, witnesses against the Orange prisoners charged with being impli- caied in the recent aftray at Harbor Grace, were examined to-day. Mary Purcell identificd the Orange prisoners Cowage and Charles French as men who carried guns beside the Orange procession. Lilien

Pursuant to public notice a meeting of those interested in, and the patrons of the Mill View Cheese Factory, was held in the upper storey of the creamery building on | Wednesday, the 23rd inst., to discuss mat- ters of importance relative to the factory.
In the front seats were the Hon. Donald Ferguson, M. P. P., J. G. Hamilton Brown, Secretary of the Creamery Co.,'! George Forbes, Vernon River Bridge, John McEachern, Mount Mellick, Charles! McMillan, Alberry Plains, while the large room was well filled with gentlemen from Mill View, Seal River, Vernon River and Cherry Valley.
George O'Neill, Esq., of the Half Way House, Vernon River, was sppointed Chairman and the undersigned Secretary. The Chairman in a ringing speech opened the meeting, dwelling at some length on the importance of the Cheese Factory; said that as a patron he considered it the best way of utilizing the milk, and thought if the Company would raise the price of milk, they would get more of that article to manufacture.
Peter M. Bourke, Esq., manager of the factory, next addressed the meeting. He explained that the outlay by the company in erecting the creamery was very great, and that it depended on the farmers to make it a success; if they did not give the supply of milk they subscribed the factory of course would go down. He gave a short account of the work of the past year, and furnished statistics showing how many had subscribed, and other details.
William Grant, sr., was satisfied with the factory and its management, and intended to support it.
Mr. George Gay would always encourage such industries as he had done in the past. He thought it paid him well to give his milk to the creamery.
Edward Grant, Esq., said he had always taken a lively interest in the factory; felt certain that it paid him, and considered it highly censurable in those parties who had failed in carrying out their agreement with the Company, the factory was some- thing new, consequently it would take some tinie before the people would judge it on its merits. Thought if the Company could sce fit to make a slight advance on the price of milk, so as to equalize the cost of hand labor, it would be attended with beneficial results, was well satisfied with the management of the Creamery, would give all the milk he subscribed, and as much more as he could spare.
John McGillivray, Esq., was well pleased with the factory. He had subscribed to its support, and would do more than he promised the coming year. Con- sidered the rise of butter in our local market last summer a hindrance to the factory; thought a little rise in the price of milk would have a tendency to induce people to contribute a larger supply. It paid him to give his milk to the factory.
Mr. Walter Grant would endorse the sentiments of the other speakers; thought it paid well to se!l his milk to the factory.
Mr. Thomas Delhaunty said it was his opinion that the price paid by the company for the milk was
too small, and gave some good practical reasons for his assertion.

The chairman then called on the Hon. Donald Ferguson, who, in responding to the invitation, said be wished it distinctly understood that his presence here to-day was not connected with any political reasons, for he had consented to come out at the urgent request of Messrs. Bourke and Brown, who wished him to give @ short address on dairy-farming--a

James Glavine, one of -the Riverheed assailants, deposed: ‘If the Orangemen hax turned down the Pipe Track roed we would not have interfered with them. We had no guns fwhen we left our homes. We were standing om our own ground when the pro- cession came up to us, with Doyle at its head. Two of our men, Pierce Wade and James Quirk, went to Doyle and said: ‘Turn them down the Pipe Track road for
peace sake.’ Doyle said, addressing the procession: ‘No! Come on, boys. Now is the time.’ A second after he struck his
right hand on his right thigh three times, and said: ‘Fire! Fire! Fire!’ Then Doyle fired a pistol. He was close to us, but moved back two paces before he fired. Doyle was in full view of me when he fired. After that guns went off faster than a man could count. I will not swear that they all came from the Orange sile. God only
‘knows where they al! came from.”

I have seen him doddaing about Brighton and strolling under the beech trees that encirele Chiselhurst Common And foi the last time of all I saw that stolid careworn face, as it lay on the raised pillow cf the bier in the broad corridor of Camdeu Place; a d when the face was nu more visible, ] witnessed the coffin ]-id down in the little chapel among the Chiselhurst elm trees. 1 knew the boy Of the Empire when the shackles of the Empire had fallen from his limbs, and he wes no longer a buckram creature, buta lively, natural lad. My acquaintance cndured into his man- hood. When the twiliyht was falling on the rolling veldt of Zululand, and his day’s work in the etaff tert was done, he liked, as it seemed to me, to gossip with one who knew the other side of the picture, about early days of the French-German war—a war that had wrought at once his ruin ard bis emancipstion. And finally, poor gallant lad! 1 saw dimly through tears the very last of him, as he lay there dead on the blood stained sword by the Ityotyosi River, with a calm, proud smile on his face, and his body pierced by ccunt'ees assegai stabs. Men have called bis death ignoble, Petty as was the quarrel, wretched as was the cCesertion that vronght his fate, I call him, rather, happy in the cp- portunity of his death. Had he lived, whats f artificiality, what of hollow unreality, might there rot have been in store for him! As it was, he had moved in the world a live ghost.
