SINGLE Corres Two Crnts.

VOL 14.—-NO. 98.

Memory, by its subtle links, connected these two enemies of his tovether.

| He eyed it still more keenly, and that im-

pression became strengthened. He took the letter and looked at it close, and he!d

}it at arm’s length, and devoured it; and

CHAPTER LXV. | the effect of this keen examination was

Wuewn the ‘Sprinkbok’ weighed anchor and left the island, a solitary form was seen | on Telegraph Hill.

When she passed eastward, out of sight of that point, a solitary figure stood on the east bluffof the. island, and was the last object seen from the boat as she left those waters forever.

What words can tell the sickening sorrow and utter desolation that possessed that yearning bosom!

When the boat that carried Helen away was out of sight, he came back with un- even steps to the cave, and looked at all the familiar objects with stony eyes, and scarce recognized them, for the sunshine of her presence was there no more. He wandered to and fro in aheayy stupor, broken now and then by sharp pangs of agony that almost made him scream. And eo the poor bereav- ed creature wandered about all day. He could not eat, he could net sleep, his misery was more than he could bear. One day of desolation succeeded another. And what men say so hastily was tiue for once. ‘His life was a burden.’ He dragged it about with him he scarce knew how.

He began to hate all the things he had loved whilst she was there. The beautiful cave, all glorious with pearl, that he had made for her, he could not enter it, the sight killed him, ana she not there.

He left Paradise Bay altogether at last, and anchored his boat in a nook of Seal Bay. And there he slept in general, But sometimes he would lie down, wherever he happened to be and sleep as long as he could.

To him to wake was a calamity. And when he did wake, it was always with a dire sense of reviving misery, and a deep sigh at the dark day he knew awaited him.

His flesh wasted on his bones, and his clothes hung loosely about him. The sor- row of the mind redvcud him almost to that miserable condition in which he had landed on the Is!and.

The dog and the seal were faithful to him, and often whimpered; their minds accustomed to communicate without the aid of speech, found out, Heaven knows how! that he was in grief or in sickness.

These two creatures, perhaps, saved his life or his reason. They came between his bereaved heart and utter solitude.

Thus passed a month of wretchedness unspeakable.

Then his grief took a less sullen form.

He came back to Paradise Bay, and at sight of it burst into a passion of weep- ing.

These were the first tears,” and inaugur- ated a grief more tender than ever, but less akin to madness and despair,

Now he used to go about and cry her name aloud passionately, by night and day. ‘Oh, Helen! Helen!’

And next his mind changed in one re- spect, and he clung to every reminiscence of her. Every morning he went around her haunts, and kissed every place where he had seen her put her hand.

Only the cave he could not yet face.

He tried, too. He went to the mouth of it again and again, and looked in; bet go into it and face it empty of her—he could not.

He prayed often.

One night he saw her ia a dream.

She bent a look of angelic pity on him, and said but these words: ‘Live in my eave,’ then vanished.

Alone on an island in the vast Pacific, whocan escape superstition? It fills the air. He took this communication as a com- mand, and the next night he slept in the cave.

But he entered it in the dark and left it before dawn.

By degrees, however, he plucked up courage and faced it im daylight. But it was a sad trial; he came out crying bitterly after a few minutes.

Still he persevered, because her image had bid him; and at last, one evening, he even lighted the lamp, and sat there look- ing at the glorious walls and roof his hapless love had made.

Getting stronger by degrees, he searched about, and found little relies of her—a glove, a needle, a great hat she made out of some large leaves. All these he wept over and cherished.

But one day he found at the very back of the cave a relic that made him start as if a viper had stung his loving heart, It wasa letter.

He knew it ina moment. It had already cost him many a pang; but now it almost drove him mad. Arthur Wardlaw’s letter.

He recoiled from it and let it lie. He went out of the cave and cursed his hard fate. But he came back. It was one of those horrible things that a man abhors, yet cannot keep away from. He took it up and dashed it down with rage many times; but it all ended in his lighting the lamp at night and torturing himself with every word of that loving letter.

And she was going home to the writer of that letter, and he was left prisoner on the Island. He cursed his generous folly, and writhed in agony at the thought. He raged with jealousy, so that his very grief was blunted for a time.

He felt as if he must go mad.

Then he prayed—prayed fervently. And at last, worn out with such fierce and con- tending emotions, he fell into a deep sleep, and did not awake until the sun was high in the heavens.

He awoke; and the first thing he saw was the fata) letter lying at his feet ina

very remarkable. It seemed to resture the man to energy and to something like hor His eyes sparkled, and a triumphant ‘Ah!’ burst from his bosom.

He became once more a man of action. He rose, und bathed, and walked rapidly to and fro upon the sands, working himself up to adaring enterprise; He took his saw into the jungle, and cut down a tree of a kind common enough there, It was won- derfully soft, and almost as light as cork. The wood of this was literally useless for any other purpose than that to which Pen- fold destined it. He Gutagreat many blocks of this wood, and drilled holes in them, and, having hundreds of yards of good line, attached these quasi corks to the gunwale, so as to make a life-boat. This work took him several days, during which time an event ocevrred which encouraged him,

(To be continued. )

The Public Revenue.

(From the Montreal Gazette.)

Sik Leoxarp TILLEy’s estimate of a sur- plus of a million dollars this year from the Consolidated Fand is likely te be somewhat execeded. At the close of Janwary the receipts of the current fiscal year were only nine hun- dred thousand dollars in excess of {the expen- diture, but the excess of revenue last month has now brought the surplus up to $1,450,000, and the probabilities are that the remaining quarter of the year will bring a further addition to this figure. The revenue in February, with consparisons, was as follows:—

1882. 1883, 1884.

g $ $ Customs....... 1,831,759 1,814,345 1,406,871 Exciee......... 419,738 410,760 421,913

Other sources.. 386,130 466,963 320,111

a a 2,637,627 2,692,068 2,148,947 The revenue last month stands on a par with that of February, 1881. Although the falling off from last year exceeds halfa millicu dollars, it occurs almost wholly in the item of customs receipts, and the reduction is not a cause of apprehension, since it ensures the early restoration of trade to a basis of healthy activity. The decrease in miscellaneous receipts of $146,000 is due, we believe, to the fact that the proceeds of sales of pubiic lands are no longer entered in this account, but kept separately. It ie a sign, of considerable importance, ot the soundners ef trade within the country that the excise receipts in Feb- ruary exceeded those of the three preceding years, that the post office receipts were $7,400 larger than in 1883, and that the receipts from public works, including government rai] ways, were in excees of the correspending month in 1881 and 1882, and within a fraction of the revenue from this source last year. The imports, it must be remembered, are not necessarily a test of the condition of trade; they may be diminished—and at this mo- ment are being diminished—by the growth of home manufactures, and by a glut of goods, necessitating a temporary restric- tion, although the consumptive business remains unimpaired. It is now six months since the contraction of imports began; the process has gone on uninterruptedly, and mry without disadvantage be prolonged yet a little while, but ere long it is inevitable that the demand will overtake the supply, and the briskness of the importing, as well as the producing trade be sielets The total revenue from July Ist to February 28th, has been:—

In considering the decrease in customs rev- enue in these periods the reduction in duties effected since 1880 must not be overlooked. The taxation remitted by the government in the past three years has been as follows:—

et 1. co a ana » hia om $ 844,016 One. it Ark. ie RL 76,313 Tin sheets and blocks,,....... 91,719 Mepmape, s). -5¢-s08s- ee hes -oneenen 200,000 Postage op newspapers............ 50,060 a eae . 700,000 BOUND OO Fi. oe cee enc eess 1,000 Peseta)... Bi. Ab IVER. 14,250 Wire and other articles............ 59,000

ks «st ehkhannin themes o00s$2,027, 298

So that the decrease in customs receipts, as compared with 1882 and 1883, is due in con- siderable part to the reduction of the tax- ation. The expenditure in February was $1,518,662, against $2,041,309 in the corres- ponding month last year, and the total exe penditure for the eight months of the current fiscal year has been $19,545,486, against $15, - 153,263 in’ the same time last year. The account to date thus stands as follows :—

1883-4. 1882-3. ere $20,995,472 $23,552,659 Expenditure. ..... .. 19,545,486 18,153,363

Surplus........ $ 1,449,985 $ 5,319,296

This surplus bids fair to be at least maic- tained during the remaining months of the year, and it 1s large enough for every purpose.
