CHAPTER XX. (Contisued.)

“That error shall be presently mended,” said Brenda ; **‘ and then, as one of our friends might say, | will haul tight and belay—but you draw your breath so ceeply, that it will be a difficult matter.”

*‘T only sighed,” said Mirna, in some con-

fusion, ‘‘to think how soon you can trifle with xnd riducle the misfortunes of this extra- ordinary woman.” . **] do not ridicule thera, God knows!” replied Brenda, somewhat angrily ; ‘it is you, Minna, who turn all I sayin truth and kindness, to something harsh or wicked, I ‘30k on Norna as a woman of very extraordinary abilities. which are very often reconciled with a strong cast of insanity ; and i consider her as better skilled in the signs of the weather than any woman in Zetland. But that she has any power over the elements, I fo more believe, than I do in the nursery stories of King Eric, who could make the vind blow from any point he set his cap to.” : Minna somewhat nettied with the obstinate incredulity of her sister, replied sharply, “and yet, Brenda, this woman—half-mad woman, and the veriest impostor—is the person by whom you choose to be advised in the matter next your own heart at this taoment !”

“] do not know what you mean,” said Brenda, coloring deeply, and shifting to get «way from her sister. Butas she was now undergoing the ceremony of being laced in her turn, her sister had the means of holding her fast by the silken string with which was fastening the boddice, and, tapping her on the neck, which expressed, by its sudden ‘vrithe, and sudden change to a scarlet hue, as iauch pettish confusion as she had desire to provoke, {she added, more mildly, “‘is it not strange, Brenda, that, used as we have been by the stranger Mordavnt Mertoun, whose assurynce has brought him uninvited toa house where his presence is so unacceptable, you sould still look or think of bim with favor’ Surely, that you do so should be a proof to you, that there are such things as spells in the country, and that you yourself labor under them. It is not for nought that Mordaunt wears a chain of elfin gold—look to it, Brenda, and be wise in time.”

‘‘T have nothing to do with Mordaunt Mer- toun,’ answered ‘Brenda hastily, ‘‘nor do I know or care whathe orany other young man wears about his neck. I could see all the gold chains of all the bailies of Edinburgh, that Lady Glowrowrum speaks so much, with- out falling in fancy with one of the wearers.” And having thus complied with the female rule of pleading not guiity in general to such an indictment, she immediately resumed, in a different tone, ‘‘ But, to say the truth, Minna, I think you, andallof you, have judged far too hastily about this young friend of ours, who has been so long our most inti- mate companion. Mind, Mordaunt Mertoun is no more to methan he isto you who best know how little diiference he made betwixt us ; and that, chain or no chain, he lived with us like a brother with two sisters; and yet you can turn him off at once, because a wan- dering seaman, of whom we know nothing, and a peddling jagger, whom we well know to be a thief, acheat, andaliar, speak words and carry tales in his disfavor! I do not be- lieve he ever said he could have his choice of either of us, and only waited to see which was to have Burgh-Westra and Bredness Voe—I lo not believe he ever spoke such a word, or harbored such a thought, as that of making a choice between us.”

‘* Perbaps,” said Minua, coldly, “‘ you may have had reason to know that his choice was already determined.”

**T will not endure this !” said Brenda, giv- iug way to her natural vivacity, and springing from between her sister’s hands; then turn- ing round and facing her, while her glowing cheek was rivalled in the deepness of its crim- son, by as much of her neck and bosom as the upper part of the half-laced boddice permitted to be visible,—*‘ Even from you, Minna,” she said, ‘‘I will not endure this! You know that all my life I have spoken the truth, and that I love the truth; and Itell you that Mordaunt Mertoun never in his life made dis- tinction betwixt you and me, until——”

Here some feeling of consciousness stopped her short, and her sister replied, with a smile, ‘* Until when, Brenda? Methinks, your love of truth seems choked with the sentence you were bringing out.”

“Until you ceased to do him the justice he deserves,” said Brenda, firmly, “‘ since I must speak out. I have little doubt that he will not long throw away hisfriendship on you, who hold it so lightly.”

‘** Be it so,” said Minna; ‘‘ you are secure from my rivalry, either in his love or friend- ship. But bethink you better, Brenda—this is no scandal of Cleveland's—-Cleveland is in- capable of slander—no falsehood of Bryce Snailsfoot—not one of our friends and ac- quainutance but says it has been the common talk of the island that the daughters of Mag- nus Troil were patiently awaiting the choice of the nameless and birthless stranger, Mor- daunt Mertoun. Is it fitting that this should be said of us, the descendants of a Norwegian Jarl, and the daughters of the first Udaller in Zetland? or would it be modest or maidenly to submit to it umresented, were we the meanest lasses that ever lifted a milk pail?”

Development in India.

A recent official report on the develop- ment of trade in India states that during the year ended in March last, upwards of 1,000 miles of new railway had been com- pleted and opened for traffic, and there were at that time 3,200 miles under con- struction or already sanctioned. Since 1873 railways in India have extended from 5,880 miles to 13,380 miles, a development which is calculated to have laid more than 100,000 square miles of Indian soil under contribu- tion to the export trade. This is un- questionably an important factor in the development of the country, and, in one sense, in the future relationship of India to western agriculture. It may be added that India’s wheat exports increased somewhat last year as compared with any preceding years. Owing perhaps to temporary de- pression in Europern markets, and competi- tion by other quarters of the globe, neither coffee nor cotton acreage wasextended. But the tea industry goes on increasing, and wheat cultivation has grown until now the normal area under wheat is put down at nearly 27,000,000 acres, andthe yearly pro- duct at more than 7,000,000tons. *‘* There is little doubt,” says the Edinburgh Scots- man, ** that, in the course of a few years, India will have become an important rivai as a wheat producer of Southern Russia,the United States and Manitoba.”

The North Sea Liquor Trafiie.

The London Standard is officially inform- ed that thesix powers bordering on the North Sea, viz., Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Denmark, which applies to that part of the North Sea, which is outside territorial limits (inside territor- ial waters each country can make its own laws.) The arrangement is, shortly, as follows:— The sale of spirits to fishermen and other persons on board fishing vessels is prohibited. Fishermen are equally for- bidden to buy spirits. The exchange or barter for spirits of any article, especially the fish caught, nets, or any partof the gear or ‘* equipage” of the fishing boats, is also prohibited. Vessels which ply onthe North Sea for the purpose of selling to fish- ermen other articles (not spirits) will have to be licensed by the government of their own country, and to be liable to strict re- gulations, with the object of ensuring their not having spirits on board for sale. The six countries engage to propose to their re- spective legislature laws to carry this ar- rangement into effect, and to punish those who do not conform to it. The Interna- tional Convention was signed at the Hague by the Dutch foreign minister and the re-

presentives of England, France, Belgium, Germany and Demark. fhe Militia. The Montreal Star says: ‘‘Since 1870

the militia of Canada has been under arms, to assist the civil power to preserve the peace, about 675 days. The total number of men called out was about 34,500, but what the expense of ihese different services were we cannot say. But it is certain that, whatever the cost was the money was well spent. A few days of riot would do more injury, in one of our cities, and to the credit of the country, than the cost of supporting the entire militia force would come to for 4 ayear. Butif we cannot find out what these expenses were we know that since 1868 to 1886 inclusive, the militia force of the Dominion, inclnding the military col- leges and the regular schools, have cost $23,495,410, and, enormous as this sum ap- pears, Canada has got good service render- ed to law and order, peace and prosperity for the outlay.

Fire Proof Houses.

Paris has more fire-proof houses than any city,in theworld. There the State prescribes conditions of building, und the municipal- ities enforce the law. And it has been so for a hundred years, net only in Paris, but all over France. The State long ago de- creed that the joists in all buildinge should be of oak, because that wood is practically non-combustible. And it also decreed that the spaces between the joists should be filled with non-combustible material. That was the old method. But France has ad- vanced beyond that now. At present the State decrees that the joists shall be made of iron, and this, with other precautionary measures, makes French houses practically fire-proof, at least as much so as it is pos- sible to make them. What France does in this respect, Canada could do also.—Mon- treal Star.

i - <> a Russian Wheat in Canada.

The Russian wheat grown from samples sent out last spring by the director of the Experimental Farm is to be graded forth- with,—the Northwest product grading equal to No. lhard wheat Those samples grown in the Maritime Provinces are reported to be not quite so firm, and Prof. Saunders is of opinion that Eastern product will have to be graded differently. Those farmers who have not returned to the central ‘arm at Ottawa specimens of the Russian wheat raised by them from samples supplied them by the Department of Agricultural, are re- quested to forward them to Ottawa without delay in order that a bulletin of results, shortly to be issued, may be as complete as possible.

Archibald Forbes has become a familiar figure on the streets of Washington. Mr. Forbes is still extremely weak, but his physi- cians do not-consider his case hopeless. He has a magnificent physique and a strong con- stitution, and his improvement in health since he reached the capital is considered a most favorable sign. He and his wife receive a great many invitations to dinners and re ceptions, but, owing to his feebleness, are ob liged to forego social plessures.
