| By Charles Reade.

—_————~

CHAPTER LXIX, The next morning came the first wedding

was determined to advance step by step, and give vo breathing time.. When Helen saw them laid out by her maid, she trem- bled at the consequences of not giving a plump negative to so brisk a wooer.

The second post brought two letters; one of them from Mrs. Undercliff. The other contained no words, but only a pearl of uncommon size, and pear-shaped. Helen received this at first as another wedding present, aud an attempt on Arthur’s part to give her a pearl as large as those she had gathered on her dear island. But, looking narrowly at the address, she saw it was not written by Arthur; and, presently, she was struck by the likeness of this pearl in shape to some of her own. She got ont her pearls, laid them side by side, and began to be moved exceedingly. She had one of her instincts, and it set every fibre quivering with excitement. It was some time before she could take her eyes off the pearls, and it was with a trembling hand she opened Mrs. Undercliff’s letter. That missive was not calculated to calm her, It ran thus:

My prar youne Lapy :—A person called here last night and supplied the clew. If you have the courage to know the truth you have only to come here, and to bring your dairy, and all the letters you have received from avy person or persons sincs you landed in England. I am yours obediently.

Jane UNDERCLIFF.

The courage to know the truth !

This mysterous sentence affected Helen considerably. But her faith in Robert was too great to be shaken. She would not wait for the canonical hour at which young ladies go out, but put on her bonnet direct- ly after breakfast. Early as she was, a visitor came before she could start, Mr. Burt, the detective. She received him in the library.

Mr. Burt looked at her dress and her little bag, and said, ‘I’m very glad I made bold to call se early.’

‘You have got information of importauce to communicate to me?’

‘I think so, miss,’ and he took out his note-book. ‘The person yon are watched by is Mr. Wardlaw.’ The girl stared at him. ‘Both spies report to him twice a day at his house in Rassell square.’

‘Be careful, Mr. Burt; this is a serious thing to say, and may have serious conse- quences,’

‘Well, miss, you told me you wanted to know the truth.’

‘Yes, of course, I want to know the truth.’

‘Then the truth is, that you are watched by order of Mr. Wardlaw.’

Burt continued his report.

‘A shabby-like man called on you yes- terday.’

‘Yes; it was Mr. Hand, Mr. Wardlaw’s clerk. And oh, Mr. Burt, that wretched creature came and confessed the truth. It was he who forged the note, out of sport, and fora bet, and then was to cowardly to own it.

She then detailed Hand’s confession.

- ‘His penitence comes too late,’ said she, with a deep sigh.

‘It hasn't come yet,’ said Burt, dryly. ‘Of course, my lambs, followed the man. He went first to his émployer, and then

‘Yes. I'll put the letter by the side of the forged note; and, if you have an eye for writing at all, you'll see at once that one hand wrote the forged note and this letter. I am also en to swear that the letters signed Hand are forgeries by the same person.’ He then coolly put upon the table the letter from Arthur Wardlaw that Helen had received on board the ‘Proserpine, and was proceeding to point out the many points of resem- blance between the letter and the docu- ment, when he was interrupted by a scream from Helen.

‘You are right,’ said the expert, ‘and what a fool I must be! I have no eye ex- cept for handwriting. He hada beard; and such a beard!’

‘It is Robert!’ cried Helen, in raptures. ‘He is come just in time.’

“The Short Line” to the Maritime Provinces.

(From the Montreal Herald )

The members of Parliament from the Maritime Provinces shouid lose no time in coming to an understanding among them- selves and with the Government on the question of the extension of the Canadian Pacific Railway eastward to the Maritime harbors. ‘That a feasible line, one common (up to a certain point) to all the principal ocean ports in the Maritime Provinces, can be obtained, is no longer a matter of dis- pute, Such a line can be readily indi- cated. There is already communicatien from Montreal to West Farnham in the Eastern Townships. From West Farnham to Sherbrooke requires to be built. The distance i3 52. miles. From Sherbrooke to the Maine border, by the Internstional line, is completed. Thence, following the propored route of the International to Lincoln on the Maine Central—some dis- tance east of Bangor—the link to te built will be about 90 miles. It is understood that a yood deal of preliminary work has already been done on a portion of this gap. The route would follow the Maine Central into “New

‘| Brunswick, joining the New Brunswick

Railway Company's lines, and run down from Vanceboro, past McAdam Junction to St. Jehn, which is about 90 miles from the Maine border, To reach Halifax the route should diverge from the New Brune- wick Railway Company's lines near Mc- Adam or Harvey, and cross the country to Fredericton. We undersiand that, by actual exploration, only about 20 miles of new railway need be constructed to make this connection. From Fredericton the route would strike nearly east across New Brunswick to join the Intercolonial at

Salisvury or Moneton. This would involve building about 100 miles of new road. From Moncton to

Halifax the route would via the Inter- colonial. To reach the Grt of Canso and Cape Breton by the shortest possible route, the line would diverge from the Intercol- onial at Moncton or at Ambherst, .cross to the shore of the Gulf of St, Lawrence, and following the coast tap the harboys of Pug- wash, Wallace, etc., and pass on to Pictou, there to join the line already built and run- ning from Pictou to the Gut of Canso. At no distant day Cape Breton will see a line of railway in operation from the Gut of

4Canso to Cape North, and connecting with

such fine harbors as Louisburg and Sydney.

In order to cover the distance from Mon- treal to Moncton by the route we have in- dicated, there remain to be built only the

he went kome. His name is not Hand. He is not a clerk at all, but a little actor at the Corinthian Saloon. Hand is in America; went three months ago. I ascer-. tained that from another quarter.’

‘Oh goodness!’ cried Helen, ‘what a wretched world! I can’t see my way a yard for stories.’

‘How should you, miss? It is clear enough, for all that. Mr. Wardlaw hired this actor to pass for Hand, and tell you a lie that he thought would please you.’ Helen put her hand to her brow, and thought; ‘but her candid soul got sadly in the way of her brain. ‘Mr. Burt,’ said she, ‘will you go with me to Mr. Undercliff the expert /’

‘With pleasure, ma’am; but let me finish my report. Last night there was some- thing new. Your house was watched by six persons. Two were Wardlaw’s, three were Burt’s; but the odd man was there on his own hook; and my men could not make him out at all; but they think one of Ward- law’s men knew him; for he went off to Russell Square like the wind, and brought Mr. Wardlaw here in disguise. Now, miss that is all; and shall I call a cab, and we'll hear Undercliff s tale.’

The cab was called, and they went to Undercliff. On the way Helen brooded; but the detective eyed every man and everything on the road with the utmost keenness,

Edward Undercliff was at work at Jitho- graphing. He received Helen cordially, nodded to Burt, and said she could not have a better assistant.

He then laid his fac-simile of the forged note upon the table, with John Wardlaw’s genuine writing and Penfold’s endorscment. ‘Look at that, Mr. Burt.’

Burt inspected the papers keenly.

‘You know, Burt, I swore at Robert Penfold’s trial that he never wrote that forged note.

‘I remember,’ said Burt.

‘The other day this lady instructed me to discover, if I could, who did write the forged note. But, unfortunately, the ma- terials she gave were not sufficient. But, last night, a young man dropped from the clouds, that I made sure was an agent of yours, Miss Rollesten. Under that im-

by the man who forged the note.’ ‘A letter!’ said Helen.

Thus 142 miles remain to be constructed to give the shortest possible route to St. Jchn, N. B., or 262 miles to give the short- est possible line to Halifax. Im the event of the Government providing a subsidy by way of bonue for a given number of years--as in the case of the Chig- necto Ship Railway—there ought not to be any serious difficulty in organiz- ing acompany to undertake the work of providing direct commumtication by the shortest possible route between Mon- treal and the Maritime ports. And the connection should be made within two years or by the time the railway is opened through to the Pacific Ocean.

During the past year the average price realized for Canadian cattle, for export, including the grass fed store stock, was £21 per head. Stall-fed cattle, however, at the early part of the season realized an aver- age of at least £25 per head. From 1878 to December 31, 1883, 231,357 head of cattle were exported from the ports of Mon- treal, Quebec and Halifax to Great Britain. These, at an average of £21 per head would represent a value of £4,860, 907; or, taking asa basis for approximate calcula- tion £1 to be worth $5, $24,304,035. The sheep which were exported to Great Britain during the years 1878 to 1883, in- clusive, numbered 456,061, the majority of which were ewes. Canada’s immunity from the cattle disease, the prevalence of which, in the United States, requires all American cattle or cattle shipped from American ‘ports to be slaughtered in quarantine, has /been of immense benefit to our cattle rais- ers and shippers the past two years. It is ‘estimated that, had Canadian cattle been ‘classed with American in this respect, the loss to our people would have been rearly ‘four millions of dollars.
