CHAPPER XXVIIL

(Contiined. )

The pretty creature arched her bay 12k in the sunshine, and pawed ihe yravel, and trembhd with pleasure when her master stroked her ucse, and patted her, snd talked to her even in a wore caressing man- ver than usnal. He loved her the better

because she kuew nothing of his secrets, | But Meg was quite as well acquainted with |

her master’s mental state es many others of her sex with the mental condition of the nics young gentlemen toward whom their hearts are in a state of fluttering expecta- tion.

Arthur cantered for five miles beyond the Chase, till he was at the foot of a bill where there were no hedges or trees to hem in the road. Then he threw the bridle on Meg’s neck, and prepared to make up his mind,

| Hetty knew that their meeting yester- day must be the last before Arthur went away ; there was no possibility of their con- triving another without exciting suspicion : and she was like a frightened child, unable to think of any thing, only able to cry at the wmention of parting, and then put her face up to have the tears kissed away.

out deora again before epening it. fained a sevled enclosara directed to Hetty, Ou the Inside of the cover Adam read :—

‘In the inclosed letter I have written everything you wish. I leave it to you to decide whether you will be doing best to deliver it to Hetty or to return it to me. Ask yourself once more whether you are not takiny a measure which may pain her more ‘han mere silence.

‘There is no need for our seeing each other again now, We shall meet with b. tter feelings son.e months here>.

<—_

‘Perhaps he’s i’ th’ right on’t not to see me,’ thought Adam. ‘It’s no use meeting tosay more hard words, and it’s no use’ meeting to shake hands, and say we’re friends again. We're not friends, an’ it’s better not to pretend it. I know forgive- ,hess isa man’s duty, but to my thinking, that can only mean as you're to give up all, thoughts o’ taking revenge, it can never mean as youre t’ have your old feelings back again, for that’s not possible. He's’ ‘not to the same man to me, and I can’t feel the same toward him. God help me! I don’t khaow whether I feel the same toward. any body; I seem as if I’d been measuring my work from a false line, and had got it all to measure o’er again.’

But the question about delivering the! letter to Hetty soon absorbed Adam’s, thoughis. Arthur had procured some relief

not expect to make the service

It con- ¢ mmunication to a private company. In

Hansard for 1876, folio 301, Mr. Davies is

reported as saying,—

‘Two difficulties present themeeclves; first, whether to construct the steamer, or to give a private -company the contract.

The second plan is gencrally adopted. The

government do not like to undertake works of thischaracter. I do not think they can prosccute them efliciently, for the reason that private companies have a closer control over their employes, and expect to make mouey; while the Government employes do remunera- tive, and therefore do not work with the same energy.”

Now, every person who studied this question, knows that nothing would be so detrimental to the interests of Prince Edwaad Island, as the placing of this ser- vice in the hands of a private company. The Government of Canada, with thcir eye: open, undertook this obligation; we

| must therefore look to them for its fulfill-

ment, and have nothing whatever to do with any private company. Yet that creat representative, the unselfish Mr. Davies advocated such a course. He cared but little for the interests of the people, while in the distance he saw looming vp large dividends for holders of Prince Edward Island Steam Navigation Company’s stock.

For some reason his exertions in favor of a private company failed, and the winter of

He could to himself by throwing the decision on | 1877, four years of the McKenzie Govern-

do nothing but comfort her, and lull her! Adam with a warning; and Adem, who was| ment, the Northern Light was sent as the

‘into dreaming on. A _ letter would bea dreadfully abrupt way of awakening her ! , Yet there was truth in what Adam said— that it would save her from a lengthened | delusion, which might be worse than a sbarp |immediate pain. And it was the only way , of satisfying Adam, who must be satisfied for more reasons than one. Lf ie could have soen her again ! But that was impos- ‘sible; there was such a thorny hedge of ;hinderances between them, imprudence | would be fatal. And yet if he could see i her again, what good would it do? Only cause him to suffer more from the sight of ,her distress and the remembrance of it. ‘Away from him she was surrounded by all | the motives to self-control.

| A sudden dread here fell like a shadow

not given to hesitation, hesitated here He determined to feel his way—to ascertain as well as he could what was Heity’s state of mind before he decided on delivering the letter,

‘Mr. Hackett’s Reply to Hon. D. Davies.

Sir,—In the Patriot of 20th inet. I notice a letter from the Hon, D. Davies, on the subject of Winter Communication between

| across his imagination—the dread lest she|the Island and the Mainland. One would ishould do something violent in her grief ; Suppose that when Mr. Davies undertook (and close upcn that came another, which | to publicly express his views on this im por- deepened the shadow. But he shook them | tant matter, he would have divested himself off with forces of youth and hope. What | ef all party prejudices, aud discuss the |was the ground for painting the future in {question on its merits,

, that dark way ? the reverse. Arthur told himself, he did ‘not deserve that things should turn out so badly, he had never meant beforehand to do any thing his conscience disapproved, he had been led on by circumstances. There wes a sort of implicit confidence in him that he was really such @good fellow at bottom, Providence would not treat him harshly.

At all events, he couldn’t help whit would come now; all he could do was to take what seemed to be the best course at the present moment. And he persuaded him- self that that course was to make the way open between Adam and Heity. Her heart might really turn to Adam, as he said, after a while; and in that case there would have been no harm done, since it was still Adam’s ardent wish to make her his wife. To be sure Adam was deceived—deceived in a way that Arthur would have resented as a deep wrong if it had been practiced on himself. That was a reflection that married the ccnzoling prospect. Arthur’s cheeks even burned in mingled shame and irritation at the thought. But what was a man to doin tucha dilemma? He was bound in honor to say no werd that could injure Hetty; hia first duty was to guard her, He would never have told or acted a lie on hisown account. Gcod God! what a miserable fool he was to have bronght himeelf into such a dilemma; and yet, if ever a man had excuses he had. (Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actiors !)

Weill, the letter must be it was the only means that promised a solution of the difficulty. The tears came into Arthur's eyes as he thought of Hetty reading it; but it would be elmost as hard for him to write it ; he was not doing anything easy to himeelf, and this lest thought helped him to arrive |at a conclusion. He could never deliber- ately have taken a step which infiicted pain on enother and felt himself at ease. Even a movement of jealousy at the thought of giving up Hetty to Adam, went to convince him that he sacrilce.

When once he had come to this conclu- ‘son, he turmd Meg round, ard set off home again ina canter. The letter should be written the first thing, end the rest of , the day would be filled up with ether buri- iness; he should have no time to look | behind him. Happily, Irwive and Gar a’ne |were coming to dinner, end by twee | o'eleek the next day he shou’d lave leit the Chase milcs behind him. There w:s sowe security in this constant ocenpation against an uncontrollable impulse seizing him to rush to Hetty, and thrust into her hand some mad prcporition that would ; undo everything. Faster and faster went | ee sensitive Mey, at every slight sign from her rider, till the canter had passed into a swift gallop.

‘T thought they said th’ young mester war took ill lost night,’ said sour old Jchn, the groom, at diuner-time in the servants’ hall. ‘He's b.en ridin’ fit to split the mare i’ (wo this forenoon.’

‘That’s happen one o' the symptome, John,’ said the facetions coachman.

“Then [ wish he war let blood for ’t, that’s all,’ said John, grimly.

At the very outset, however, he intro- ,duces party politics, and makes a hitter ‘personal attack on Mr, Macdona'’d, M. P. for King’s County, and myself.

As representatives of the people we are, [ suppose, toa certain extent, public pro- perty, and it is not my intention, tl ere’ore, to take any notice of the malevolent attacks of this garrulous old man. I Cesire, how- ever, to criticise his letter in other respects.

He says that His Grace the Archbi- hop of Halifax, who has recently taken a great interest in this question of Winter Commu- nication, was mistaken when he said that the Mackenzie Government had been neg- lectful of the Island’s interests.

With your permission I will bric fly 1eview the history of this question durirg the ad- ministration of affairs by Mr. Mackenzie, and think I will be able to s!ow that the Mackenzie Guvernment, and their servile supporter, Mr. Davies, were guilty of the most culpable neglect of Island interests in connection with this question. On the Ist July, 1873, the Island entered the Union, and at the first election held thereafter Mr. Davies was elected to represent King’s County in the Dominion House of Com- mons. During the session of 1874 he at- tended at Ottawa, and I cannot find that he uttered one word in behalf cof Prince Edward Island. The first year passed away, and the Mackenzie Government did nothing in the direction of fulfilling this obligation, and Mr. Davies sat silently in his place and su) ported them. The winter of 1875 came, and with it. es a result of the action of Mackenzie, Davies, &e., a sipcrannuated steamboat, that Mr. Davies politely calls the ‘*Old Al rt,” which, it was said in the wost conticent language, wou'd be able to keep up con munication hetwecn Georgetown and Pictou in the most severe part of the winter. It was asserted that ice formed in the Gulf, as well as the immense bergs that occasionally come down from the frozen nerth, wi uld be ‘no hindrance to her croesing. Anything. lin fact, in the shape of ice that eould float thropgh the Straits of Belle Isle would ‘have to succumb | efore the attacks of this | mighty leviathan, and Mr. Davies and other |supporters of Mr. Mackenzie said the peo- jple of Prince Edward Island were for- itunate in securing her services.

Actual experiment, however, proved that this monster could not jerform what was ‘expected of her, aid as all sensible men saw from the first, proved an ignominious failure. Mr. Davies, however. must have considered her a success, as he aitenced Parliament durirg he session of 1875 and did not censure the Goverrment for their neglect, or even complein of the |wey the peeple of Piince Edward Island {were trated. The roll of time brought around the winter of 1876, the third year of Confederation, the third yeer of the Mc-

Kenzie Governmer,t—yet nothing has i besn done to carry ont the compact entered into with Prince Edward Island.

One would imagine that it eurely was (time now for the representatives from | Prince Edward [slend to make known to

Parliament the grivances of the pecple. The session cf 1876 came, and Mr. Davies jand colleagues attended at Ottawa as usual ; but no com; laint was hc ard from them with regard to the non-fulfilment of the Terms of Union. If they did say anything it was

first genuine attempt of that administration to carry out the terms of Union. With her history all Prince Edward Islanders xre familiar. She has uot proved a success, nor has she been a total failure. She was taken off the hands of a friend of the Government who had her in frame for two years in his ship yard at Quebcc, and who doubtless would be obliged to make firewood of her if the Government did not generously come to his rescue. She was not intended for such service as she has to perform in the Straits of Northumberland, but was modelled for ice service in the Lower St. Lawrence. Up to the present time she has not succeeded in overcoming the difticulties presenting them- selves, while she has stood in the way of our getting a better boat, When I say she has stood in the way of our getting another boat I mean that she has done so through the lavish praise bestowed upon her by Mr. Davies and others of his party on Prince Edward Island, who never lost an epportunity of making it appear that she wasa perfect success, that she had completely solved the question of the winter navigation of the Gulf, and that she was admirably suited for ice navi- gation. Even at the very time when all practical men pronounced her as being untit to fulfil the obligation entered into by the Dominion, Mr. Davies was praising her up in the Dominion Parliament, endeavoring by his senseless speeches to make himself agreeable to Mr. Mc Ker zie.

In Hansard, for 1877, folio 85, Mr. Davies is reported as having delivered him- self as follows :—

“The performance of this steamer (the Northern Light) had in his opinion com- pletely solved the question of the winter navigation of the St. Lawrence. et? It would be @iflicult, be thought, to build a steamer better adapied for both harbor and channel winter navigation. On the whole, the venture had been a success.”

This, too,tin the face of the fact that a short time before she had to be sawn ont of Charlottetown Harbor, not being able to break her way through six inches of ice.

Again, in the session of 1878, the last, fortunately, that he was to misrepresent the peeple of P. E. Island, Mr. Davies made use of the following words :—‘* The Northern Light had done better than he expected, and was in eveiy way suitable for the purpose.”—Hansard, 1878, Folio 1284. The bad effect of those foolish re- marks is yet felt by the people of Prince Edward Island.

In making our dewands for a proper steamer we are met with the observations : “You have the Northern Light. Is ahe not a good steamer! Mr. Davies who is a ship builder and ship owner has said no bet- ter steamer can be built for your puipese, and that she has been a success. What wore do you want! We are not obliged to give you any more.” Furthermore, should the people of Prince Edward Island look for compensation for the time lost in not fu'fi ling the Terms of Ucior,or should thry carry the matter, as some edyccate, to the foot of the Threne, I have no doubt but those stupid remarks of Mr. Davies’ will be quoted in opposition to their claim. 1 think | have written enough to show His Grace— who is weil informed on all] subjects upon which he write: —was not mis‘aken when he said the McKenzie Government negleet- ed the Island with regard to this lunportant metter. | think I have also shown ‘hat Mr. Davies utterly failed in his duty as & representative of the people. During his five years at Ottawa, lie proved himself to be the most servile of the follow- ers of McKei zie, never daring to raise his voice in behalf of his injured and neg)«cted fellow countrymen, The depths of political infamy to which he sonk during that period, could only be reached by a yolitical rene- gade of tho lowest type. By one whe would rot cervple to assist in depriving the people of their dearest and incst cherished privileges, as witness his sport given to a dastaidly attempt made by ‘ Our Minister,” to roh the young men cf Prince Edward Island of the Franchise.
