,| House of Wardlaw exists no more.
All orders entrusted to them wil) receive
‘Oh, yes, Robert, said Helen, ‘‘for his father’s sake’
‘Very weil,’ said Robert. ‘Now, then, reptile, take the pen, and write in your own hand, if you can.’
He took the pen and wrote to dictation:
‘I, Arthur Wardlaw, confess that I forged the promissory note for £2,000, and sent it to Robert Penfold, and that £1400 of it was to be for my own use, and to pay my Oxford debts. - And I confess that J bribed Wylie to scuttle the ship ‘Proserpine’ in order to cheat the underwriters.’
Penfold then turned to Wylie. and asked him the true motive of this fraud.
‘Why, the gold was aboard the ‘Sban- non,’’ said Wylie; ‘I played hanky-panky with the metals in White's store.’
‘Put that down,’ said Penfold. ‘Now go
on.’
‘Make a clean breast,’ said Wylie. ‘I have. Say as how you cooked the ‘Pro- serpine’ log, and forged Hiram Hudson's writing. ’
‘And the newspaper extracts you sent me,’ said Helen, ‘and the letters from Mr. Hand.’
Arthur groaned. said he.
‘Every word, or be indicted,’ said Robert Penfold, sternly.
He wrote it all down, and then sat star- ing, stupidly. And the next thing was, he gave a loud shriek, and fell on the floor in a fit. They sprinkled water over him, and Burt conveyed him home in a cab, advising him to leave the country, but at the same time promising him not to exasperate ‘those he had -wronged so deeply, but rather to moderate them, if required. Then he gave Bort fifty guineas.
Robert Penfold, at Helen’s request, went with herto Mr. Hennessy, and with the proofs of Arthur’s guilt and Robert’s in- nocence; and he undertook that the matter should go in proper form before the Secre- tary of State. But, somehow, it transpired that the ‘Proserpine’ had been scuttled, and several of the underwriters wrote to the Wardlaws to threaten proceedings. Wardlaw senior returned but one answer to these gentlemen: ‘Bring your proofs to me at my place of business next Monday at twelve, and let me judge the case, before you go elsewhere.’
‘That is high and mighty,’ said one or two; but they conferred and agreed to these terms, so high stood the old merchant's name,
They came; they were received with stiff courtesy. The deposition of Cooper and Welch was produced, and Wylie, kept up to the mark by Nancy, told the truth, and laid his three thousand pounds intact down on the table. ‘Now that is off my stomach,’ said he, ‘and I’m a man again.’
‘Aye, and I’ll marry you next week,’ said Nancy.
‘Well, gentlemen,’ said old Wardlaw, ‘my course seems very clear. I will undo the whole transaction, and return you your money less the premiums, but plus five per cent. interest.’ And this he did on the spot, for the firm was richer than ever.
When they were gone Robert Penfold came in, and said, ‘I hear, sir, you devote this day to repairing the wrongs done by your firm; what can you do for me?’ He laid a copy of Arthur's confession before him.
The old man winced a moment where he sat, and the iron passed through his soul. It was along time before he could speak. At last he said, This wrong is irreparable, I fear.’
Rebert said nothing. Sore as his own heart was, he was not the one to strike a grand old man, struggling so bravely against dishonor.
Wardlaw senior touched his hand-bell.
‘Request Mr. Penfold to step this way.’
Michael Penfold came.
‘Gentlemen,’ said the old merchant, ‘the It was built on honesty and cannot survive a fraud. Wardlaw and Son were partners at will. I had decided to dissolve that part- nership, wind up the accouuts, and put up the shvtters. But now, if you like, I will value the effects, and hand the business over to Penfold and Son on easy terms. Rebert Penfold has been accused of forging John Wardlaw’s name; to prove this was a calumny, [| put Penfold over my door instead of Wardlaw. The city of London will understand that, gentlemen, believe

me.’
‘Mr. Wardlaw’ said Robert, ‘you are a just, a noble——’ He could say no more.
‘Ah, sir,’ said Michael, ‘if the young gentleman had only been like you!’
‘Mention his name no more to me. His crime and his punishment have killed me.
‘Oh,’ said Robert hastily, ‘he shall not be punished for your sake.’
‘Not be punished. It is not in your hands to decide. God has punished him. He is insane.’
‘Good Heavens!’
‘Quite mad—quite mad. Gentlemen, I can no longer support this interview. Sen

The flowers are rapidly opening out in the gardens, and the buds on the trees are beginning to burst out into h aves.
I am now only seaking of Victoria and the low lands, fr Ny inate varies very mvch in British Columbia; for not 100 miles from Victoria the thermometer has been 45 degrees below Zero, But all valleys and flat low lands heve a nice climate such as this city.
The farming lands are, so to speak, very limited, for the principal part of British Columbia is high, mountainous lands or rocks. However, there are quite large tracts of land that are very productive and fertile, situated between the mountains, and on each side of the many rivers. The soil isa very dark loam. Farming ought to be very profitable here, considering the very high price of all farm products. Po- tatoes are $1.20 per bushel, turnips $1, oats from 50 to 60 cenis, wheat $1.20, butter 50 cents: eggs 50 cents per dozen; flour cells at $6.50 per bbl, all meats 124 cenvs per Jb., and groceries are a little higher than in the east. Rent is very high here; a house of from four to five rooms costs $10 to $18 yer month, according to locality. Wages range from three to four dollars per day; board and lodgings from five to six dollars per week.
The shipping of this country is prinei- pally done by steam ships, for two reasons: first, because of the strong currents and rapids in the rivers, on which places of trade it situated, which rendergit impos- sible for sailing vessels to work against; and second, because of no wind. 1 have seen weeks go by without enough wind to ripple a mill-pond, night or day. The place is justly noted for its frecdom from strong winds and storms; therefore, sailing vessels would have to employ a steam tug buat to take them from place to place, which cer- tainly would not pay the owners,
Mining is another undeveloped industry that promises to take its place with the most prominent sources of wealth to this country. There are immense tracts of country that is rich in all kinds of minerals, only waiting for men «cf capital to open them up. Gold mining is at present carried on to a considerable extent.
The salmon fisheries or canning estab- lishments are, | might say, the most prem- inent industries of this Province—on the Frasier River alone.
There are eleven establishments of this kind that put up the past season the large number of 205,000 cases of four dozen each. There are also ten canneries on the coast of British Columbia that put up 165,000 eases, making a total of 370,000 cases of salmon packed in British Columbia, besides thous- ands of barrels of salted salmon. They employ principally Chinese help in the canneries, not having more than from eight to ten white men altogether, and Indians do nearly all the fishing. They employ a total of about 5,007 hands.
I would not advise any one to come to British Columbia, only those who have a trade of some sort; for they can find work at good wages any time. Clerks or those who have no trade had better stay at home, as they will find it very hard to get a profit- able situation. What this country wants most is men of capital; for there are plenty of chances for that class to invest their cash very profitably.
The country is covered with a growth of the finest timber I have ever seen, and saw mills are very scarce. Even the local demand for boards, frames, ete., are not supplied, anc carpenters are very much bothered waiting for lumber that the mills cannot supply. I have seen logs getting sawed at a mill near here (by one saw being ruff’ above another) that measured eight feet in diameter, without knots or shakes; in fact, all lumber is free from knots. There will yet be a large trade done here in lumber by shipping to other ports.
There are many other things of interest I would like to speak about; but I am afraid I have already trespassed too much on your space. I may again write on some other subject of interest, but for the present,
