Next day she went to 3 Fairfield C» tages at hali-past four. On the way her heart palpitatecd, for this was a very important interview. H re at least she might hope to find some ciew, by following out which she would sooner or later establish Robert's inuocenr > But then came a fearful thonght: ‘‘Why had not his father done this already, if it was possible to do it? His father must love him. His father must have heard his own story, and tested it in every way. Yet his father remained the servant of a firm, the senior partner of which had told to her face Robert was, guilty.’ It was a strange and terrible enigma. | Yet she clong te the belief that some new

light would come to her from Michael: Penfold. Then came bashful fears, ‘How! should she account to Mr Penfold for the

interest she took in his own son,she who was affianced to Mr. Penfold’s employer.’ She | arrived at 3 Fairfield Cuotiages with her! cheeks burning, and repeating to herself :’

came ont to her, and told her Mr. Penfo!d) _ Was not at home. | | ‘Can you tell me when he will be at home ?’

| ‘No, miss. He have gone to Scotland. A telegraphum came from Wardlaws’ last ‘night, as he was to go to Scotland first ‘thing this morning; and he went at six o'clock.’

‘Oh, dear!’ How unfortunate!’

‘Who shall I say called, miss?’

‘Thank you, I will write. the telegram came!’

‘Between five and six last evening, miss.’

She returned to the hotel. Fate seemed jto be against her. Baffled at the very threshold! At the hotel she. found Arthur Wardlaw’s card and a_ beautiful | bouquet.

She sat down directly, and wrote to him affectionately, and asked him in the post- script if he conld send her a report of the trial. She received a reply directly, that he had inquired in the office, for one of the clerks had reports of it, but this clerk was unfortunately cut, and had locked up his desk,

Helen sighed. Her feet seemed to be clogged at every step in this inquiry.

Next morning, hewever, a large enveloge came to her, and a Mr. Hand wrote to her thus:

‘Mapsm,—Having been requested by Mr. Arthur Wardlaw to send you my ex- tracts of a trial, the Queen vs. Penfold, I herewith forward the same, and would feel obliged by your returning them at your convenience. Your obedient servant,

‘James Hanp.’

Helen took the inclosed extracts to her bedroom, and there read them both over many times.

In both these reports the case for the Crown was neat, clear, cogent, straight- forward, and supported by evidence. The defence was chiefly argument of coun- sel to prove the improbability of a clergy- man and a man of good character passing a forged note. One of the reports stated that Mr. Arthur Wardlaw, a son of the principal witness, had taken the accusation so much to heart that he was now danger- ously ill at Oxford. The other report did not contain this, but, on the contrary, it stated that the prisoner, after conviction, had endeavored to lay the blame on Mr. Arthur Wardlaw, but that the judge had stopped him, and said he could only aggra- vate his offense by endeavoring to cast a slur upon the Wardlaws, who had both shown a manifest desire to shield him, but were powerless on account of evidence,

In both reports the suming up of the judge was moderate in expression, but leaned against the prisoner on every point, and corrected the sophistical reasoning of ‘his counsel very sensibly. Both reports said an expert was called for the prisoner, whose ingenuity made the court smile, but did not counterbalance the evidence, Helen sat cold as ice, with the extracts in her hand.

Not that her sublime faith was shaken, but that poor Robert appeared to have been so calmly and fairly dealt with by everybody. Even Mr. Henneasy, the counsel for the Crown, had opened the case with humane regret, and confined himself to facts, and said nobody would be more pleased than he would, if this evidence could be contradicted or explain- ed ina manner consistent with the prison- ers innocence.

What a stone she had roll—up what a hill!

What was to be her next step! Go to the Museum, which was now open to her, and read more reports. She shrank from that.

‘The newspapers were all against him,’ said she; ‘and I do not want to be tuld that he is guilty, when I know he is in- nocent.’

She now re-examined the extracts with a view to names, and found the only uames /mentioned were the counsel. The expert's ‘name was not mentioned in either. How- ever, she knew that from Robert. She lresolved to speak to Mr. Hennessy first,

in one moment, re-mastered it in another, and told her the solicitur for the crown in that case was Freshtield. ’

‘Now,’ said he, ‘yon want to know who was the defendant's solicitor? Jenkins, a stamped envelope. Write your name and address on that.’

Winle she was doing it, he scratched a line to Mr. Freshfield, asking bim to send the required information to the enclosed address.

She thanked Mr. tears in her eyes

Pacific Railway Resolutions,

MR, BRECKEN'S SPEECH. (Concluded. )

We were told by the hon. leader of the Opposition, as has been very ably remarked by the hon. member for King’s, New Brunswick, that he apprehended this work would not goon. But 1 venture to say that the performance of this contract has been characterized by speed and ri p‘city that is not to be found in the history of railway building in any part of the world.

Now, as to the effect of refusing this loan. |

It has been published throughout Europe, that the Pacific Railway is likely to be built in two years, and that fact, Sir, is known to every country that has an over- crowded population, whose inhabitants are looking for a home in the New World. We have heard of the wonderful capabilities of that country, for prodacing purposes. I think the hon. Minister of Railways stated that from the year 1871 to 1880 the immi- gration to that country was 84,755, and since thatecontract has been in existence, from 1881 to 1883, it has been 149,560. Now, Sir, is it a matter of no consequence to this country that these resolutions should be rejected, and that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company skould no longer be in a position to execute their contract within the time specified? Is it no injury to this country that the tide of immigra- tion should be checked for that reason { Is it not injury to this country, Sir, that the great national capabilities of the North- west should remain undeveloped? Now, in view of the peculiar state of affairs in the Old Country, now that very recent

lrepresentations have been made by the

Minister of Railways, acting in the capacity of diplomatic representative of the Domin- ion, and in view of the valuable and kind efforts that are now being made by our late Governor Gerera!, Lord Lorne, and now that an amount of attention is being direct- ed towards the Dominion such as has never been directed to this country since it came under the British flag—in view of ajl there circumstances, is it of no consequence to this country that the multitude of people in the Old World who have been looking to the Northwest as their future home, as the home of their children and grand- children, should be told that this great project which has been represented to them as likely to be completed in two years, is to be arrested, and that the opening up of that country is to be checked for a number of fyears to come! It_is no injary to the country to have these intending immigrants discouraged from coming here? It is no injury to this country that the hopes of our own people should be blasted, and that their anticipations of the rapid development of that great country should fail to be realized! Is it no injury to this country, I repeat, that the people of Great Britain ard Treland, of Germany, and of the Continent of Europe generally, who have had recentlw brought to their attention the great advantages which this country offers to the new settler, should be turned back from their intention of coming here, and that this great tide of immigra- tion should be checked? Now, that the ardor of these people to come to this coun- try is so strong, is it wise for us to take such means as will discourage them? And for what purpose! Because we refuse, as my hon. friend puts it, to assent to the pro- position of the Minister of Railways to give

$30,000,000 to the Syndicate in addition to;

the subvention; and because he proposes to this Parliament that a certain sum of money should be advanced—not equalin value, if the representations of hon. members on both sides of this House are to be taken as a guide—to the land alone that they offer as a guarantee. My hon. friend said the Government of Canada ought not to demean itself by becoming a loan company. 1 do not know apy more praiseworthy, any more statesmanlike direction towards which the funds of the Exchequer of a country can be expended, than in develop- ing its cesources and increasing its popula- tion. The hon. member for Welland, in the admirable speech he made to-night, spoke of the value of the immigrants. He said that every stalwart immigrant that went into a country was worth a thousand dollars, and he was quite right. Why, Sir, I was astounded when I heard the calcula tion made by the hon. Minister of Railways as to the capabilities of the Northwest, and the quantity of grain that could be raised there per acre——

Some Hon. Memzuers. Hear, hear.

Mr. Brecken—Hon. members may laugh, but [ am sure that when all things are con- sidered, there is precious little honest merriment to get out of the present con- dition of affairs. The laughter sounds hollow. I was astonished at the capabili- ties of the country when I heard him speak of theze millions of bushels, but I did not discredit his sta'ement. I was equally astonished at the much more moderate

members of this House 1 have heard very little from them in praise of the North- west. 1, myself, Mr. Speaker, am a strong believer in party government. I believe that, as long as we have representative

institutions in the country, we must have party government. I also have had some experience in political life

I bate been two or three times in the Government, and more frequently in Oppo- sition. J] know that very often the duties o° an Opposit on are contived to op) osing everything and proposing nothing. Look- ing at the bitierness which has character- ized the utterances and the conduct of the public men in this country in regard to this Pacific Railway question, it is hardly to be expected that hon. members on the Oppo- sition benches will deal less frankly with this question as those on the Government side of the House. As a nember coming from Prince Edward Island, froma Prov- ince which will not be benefitted by this ‘undertaking, my vote may be looked upon as an independent vote in an equal degree with any which will be given in this House. It may not perhaps, st the first blush, please some of my constituents. They may think that some of tl.e $23,000,000 might be very advantageously expended in Prince Edward Island, and I should not be sorry to see itdone. Sill, ] think, in all terions- nes:, that when we look at the impurtance of this question, how far this couniry has been committed to it by both political par- jties, the fact that ail politicians have de- sired that it should be in the bands of a priva‘e company aud notin tle hands of

jthe Government, the necessity of | oing forward and completing the ‘road is obvious. When the term ‘of ten years was fixed for the con-

Istruction of the rc ad, the hon. Minister of Railways would have been laughed at if he had announced that it would be built ia live years, and now that we have the work so far advanced that only 650 miles re- quire to be completed, and now that we have a company which has already invested $36,000,000 in the enterprise, the House will feel the impertance of adopting the resolutions. What has given the Northwest lands their value? The con- struction of the railway. In view of the fact that the advantages of Canada to the cver-populated countries of Europe has been forcibly presented, ihat the capabilities of the country to affurd happy homes to the hard working but pour people of the Old Oountries, increases the difficulty of declin- ing to advance to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company mcney to complete the work, it has been suggested that defauly may be made. If the work has to be taken from the hands of the Company, the Government may do so with $36,000,000 already expended on it. My hon. colleague from Prince Edward Island (Mr. Davies) alluded to the colonization companies in the Nerthwest, and spoke feelingly of the system of absentee landlordism in Prince Edward Island, declaring that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company were going to perpetuate that system in the Northwest. That was an ill-considered s a‘ement. The facts about Prince Edward Island were these: The lands were /eased by ebsentee proprietors to tenants for 999 years, ata moderate rental, They were forest lands, and these who went on them cleared only an acre or two the first year. The rental was allowed to accumulate, and after a man had teiled and spent a lifetime on his small farm, and laid his head on his dying pillow, he did not know but that the landlord would step in and take the property. That was our grievance. I was in the Local Legislature, and introduced the Biil which remedied this grievance, and in passing that measure I received valuable aid from my colleague, who is always, however, opposed to me politically. What is a colonization com- pany in the Northwest? It is an aid to the settlement of the country and the hon. gentleman should have considered the matter a little more before he expressed £0 much virtuous indignation in regard to these organizations. The even-numbered sections are held for free settlement, while the odd-numbered sections are sold to the Company at $2.per acre,.a rebate of one- half teing allowed if the settlement con- ditions are fulfilled. The colonization companies sell the lands outright, and there is*no question of tenancy. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company also sel] their lands and do not rent them. I was going to read to the House some of the hon. gentleman’s utterances in Prince Edward Island, but I will refrain—

Mr. Davies—Let us have them.

Mr. Brecxen—I will Jet the hon. gentle- man have one, because when he talks of patriotiem his remarks appear to be some- what inconsistent. The hon. gentleman is acknowledged to be leader of the Liberal party on the Island, and when the Canadian Pacific Railway contract was entered into, he held meetings throughout its length and breadth. I congratulate him upon the moderate tone of his speech in the House the other day; he has wonderfully im- proved, and two years hence, when the rail- way haz been completed and the Northwest settled by bappy and prosperous farmers, who will share taxation with the inhabitants of the other Provinces, I shall expect him to disavow the sentiments which I will now read. The hon. gentleman stated that the only course open for the country would be to cast inits fortunes with the United Sates. This, he said, is an escape which no politician likes to talk about, but it will

come one day, and when it comes we must take our chances to make the best bargain we can. I am sure we are all disposed to make

every possible allowance for the hon. gentleman’s utterance the other night; but is it not a matter of great congratulatior that he should have toned down in se short atime. My hon. friend said, in speaking of what would have been the result of these resolutions, if they were not carried, that the hon. member for Richmond and Wolfe (Mr. Ives) had indicated three such results. The first was that the work would be stopped; the second, that 9,000 men would

be thrown out of employment, and the
