CHAPTER
There was a change in Hetty’s face, cer- tninly not produced by any agreeable im- | pression from this news. In fact, she felt a |momentary annoyance and alarm; fer she ‘had so often heard it hinted by her unele ‘that Adam might have Mary Burge and a ‘share in the business any day if he liked, ‘that she associated tho two objects now,
t ,and the thought immediately occurred that’
‘perhaps Adam had given her up because of what had happened lately, and had turned 'toward Mary Burge. ‘and before she bad time to remember any ‘reasons why it could not be true, came a
'ment; the one thing—the one person—her mind had rested on in its dull weariness had slipped away from her, and peevish misery had filled her eyes with tears. She

‘her face, saw her tears, and before he had

reason for it was
‘I could afford to be married now, Hetty —I could make a wife comfortable ; but I shall never want to be married if yo® won’t have me.”
Hetty looked up at him and siniled through her tears, as she had done to Arthur that first evening in the wood, when she had thought he was not coming, and yet he came. It was a feebler relief, a feebler triumph she felt now, but the great dark eyes and the sweet lips were as beautiful as ever, perhaps more beautiful, for there was a more luxuriant wo.nanline»s about Hetty of late. Adam could hardly believe in the happiness of that moment. His right hand held her left, and he press- ed her arm close against his heart as he leaned down toward har.
‘Do you really jove me, Hetty? Will you be my own wife to love and take care

There are upwards of eighty canneries scattered at various advantageous points along the Island shores. $2,000, to $3,000, according to size and capacity, and the annual output amounts to from $7,000 to $9,000.

of as long as I live ? Hetty did not speak, but Adam’s face was very close to hers, and she put up her
price of starch in the island market, and to depress the industry.”
Mr. McKinnon further remarked :—
‘There is a market for at least 1,000 tons of starch in Canada per year. The balance goes forward to England and the United States. [ om not aware that any has been soid at an actual loss. Starch is an article that age will improve rather than injure. Holding over will, therefore, only result in
,temporary inconvenience to the producer, and of course, the loss of interest on the value thus jocked up.”

fishery inspector of Prince Edward Islaad, in a report on the Istand fisheries, places the value of canned lobsters fer 1883, at $435,605. This year, it is clearly evident, both from the extent of the catch and the prices prevailing in the chief lobster mar- kets, that a sum far in advance of last year and ahead of the year preceding, and con- siderably in excess of half a million dollars, will be realized from the lobster factories through the canneries,
With the exception of those at Canoe Cove, Murray Harbor, Cascumpec, Little Sands and Darnley, the canneries have all been put in operation since 1878. In 1879 the number all over the island was limited to 35, and this year the number is more than 80. The name, location, eto, of most of the canneries in operation have been obtained at much pains, and will be found in the tabular statements.
THE STARCH FACTORIES,
The starch industry of Prince Edward Island, which had been prosecnted quite
round cheek against his, like a kitten. She wanted to be caressed—she wanted to feel as if Arthur were with her again.
Adam cared for no words after that, and they hardly spoke threugh the rest of the walk. He only said, ‘I may tell your uncle and aunt, mayn’t I, Hetty’ and she said ‘Yes.’
The red fire-light cn the hearth at the jaa)l warm shone on joyful faces that even- ing, when Hetiy was gone up stairs and Adam took the opportunity of telling Mr. and Mrs. Poyser and the grandfather that he saw his way to maintaining a wife now, and that Hetty had consented to have him.
I hope you’veno objections against me for her husband, said Adam; ‘I’m am a poor man as yet, but she shall want nothing as I can work.’
‘Objections ?’ said Mr. Poyser, while the grandiather leaned forward and brought ont his long ‘nay, nay.’ *What objections oan we ha’ to you, lac? Never mind your being poorish as yet, there's money Im your head-
vigorously, was not, in the early fall, in a very healthy condition ; at least this was the opinion expressed in several quarters. Prices ruled low, and there appeared to be considerable difficulty in finding profitable markets for their product. This temporary check to the industry would, it was thought by experienced business men, result in real benefit to the trade, as it would tend to the exercise of greater care in produc- tion, and would lead to a diligent search for profitable customers in quarters hitherto untried, and would be less open to disturbance by the trade policy of a country which is ever on the alert to prevent its manufacturers from being over-
piegs as there's money i the sown field, but it must have time. You’n got enough to begin on, an’ we can doa deal tow'rt the bit o’ furniture you'll want. Thee’st got feathers and linen—plenty, eh!’
This question was of course addressed to Mrs. Poyser, who was wrapped up in @ warm shawl, and was too hoarse to speak with ber usual facility. At first she only nodded emphatically, but she was presently unable to resist the temptation to be more explicit.
‘It ‘ud be a poor tale, if i hadna feathers and linen,’ she said hoarsely, ‘when 1 never sell a fowl but what's plucked, an’ the heel’s-a going every day o’ the woek.’

‘Come, my wench,’ said Nr. Poyser, when
Hetty caine down, ‘come and kiss us, let us wish you luck.
Hetty went very quietly and kissed the big good-natured man.
‘There he said, patting her on the back, ‘yo and kiss your aunt and your grandfather. I’m a wishful t’ have you settled well as if you was my own daugh- ter; and so’s your aunt, I'll be bound, fer she’s done by you this seven year, Hetty, as if you’d been her own. Come, come, now,’ he went op, becoming jocose, as s00p as Ho'ty bad kissed her aunt and the old many ‘ Adam wants akiss, too, I'll warrant, and he’s a right to one now.’
Hetty turned away, smiling, toward her chair.
‘Come, Alam, then take one,’ persisted Mr. Poyser, ‘ else y’ arena half a man.’
Adam got up, blushing like @ small maiden—great, strong fellow as he was—- and, putting nis arm round Hetty, steoped down and gently kissed her lips.
It was a protty scene in the red fire-light® for there was no candles; why should there be, whon the fire was so bright, and was reflected from all the pewter and the polished oak! N» one wanted to work on a Sunday evening. Even Hetty felt some- thing like contentment in the midst of all this leve. Adam’s attachment to her, Adam’s caress, sticred no passion in her, were no longer enough to satisfy her vanity; but they were the best her life offered her now; they promised her some change.
There was a great deal of discussion before Adam went away, about the possi- bility of his finding a house that would do for him to settle in. No house was empty except the one next to Will Maskey’s in the village, and that was too small for Adam now. Mr. Poyser insisted that the best plan would be for Seth and his mother to move, and leave Adam in the old home,
reached by the energy or enterprise of manufacturers outside its pale.
The Na- tional Policy is entitied to the credit of having given a stimulus to the starch in-
dustry ; but it is not responsible for the
mistakes of short-sightedness, nor the con-
dition of things which has given to the in- dustry a temporary check. Few of the many engaged in the enterprise appear
correctly to gauge the causes which have led to the declino in prices, which there is
reason to believe will not long continue.
@areful enquiries elicited from the senior member of a firm interested financially in
several factories—Messrs. McKinnon &
McLean—the following :—
‘‘ When the majority of starch factories on the Island were started, the United States imposed a duty of 1 cent and 20 per cent. ad valorem. Under this tariff the Island factories could easily compete in the United States markets, and make the
business a paying speculation. The United States Government, wide awake as it always is to the in-
terests of its own producers, soon doc- tored the tariff to suit the emergency. It threw off the 20 per cent., and added 1 cent per pound which amount, added to the 1 cent imposed under the old arrange- ment, made the duty 2 cents per pound, which, to all intents and purposes, is a pro- hibitive duty. This, of course, has operat ed to the prejudice of Island starch manu- facturers. But the secret of the depression does not lie wholly here. directions in which those interested ghould look.
