cuss about that knows where the island is as well as you do.’

‘Then, of course, you will treat with him,’ said Robert, sadly.

‘Darned if I do,’ said the Yankee. ‘You are in trouble, and he is not, nor never will be till he dies, and then he'll get it hot, I calc’late. He is a thief, and stole my harpoon; you are an honest man, and brought it back. I reckon I’ll deal with you and not with that old cuss; not by a jug ful! But it must be on a percentage. You tell me the bearings of that there Island, and I’li work it and pay five per cent. on the gross.

‘Would you mind throwing that piece of wood into the sea Mr. Fullalove?’ said Kobert.

‘Caen’t be done, nohow. without whitlin.’

‘You mean you can’t take an unfair ad- vantage without it. Come, Mr. Fullalove, Jet us cut this short. Iam as you say, an honest and most unfortunate man. Sir, { was falsely accused of a crime and banish- ed my country. I can prove my innocence now if I can but get home with a great deal of money. So much for me. Yow are a member of the vainest and most generous nation in the world.’

‘Wal, now that’s kinder honey and vine- gar mixed,’ said Fullalove; ‘pretty good for a Britisher, though.

‘You are a man of that nation which, in all the agonies and unpar- alleled expenses of civil war, smart- ing, too, under anonymous taunts from England, did yet send over a Jarge sum to relieve the distresses of certain poor Eng- lishmen who were indirect victims of that same calamity. The act, the time, the misery relieved, the taunts overlooked, prove your nation superior to all others in generosity. At east my reading, which is very large, affords no parallel to it, either in ancient or modern history. Mr. Fulla- love, please to recollect that you are a member of that nation, and that I am very unhappy and helpless, and want money to undo cruel wrongs, but have no heart to chaffer much. Take the island and the treasures and give me half the profits you make. Is not that fair?

Fullalove wore a rueful countenance.

‘Darn the critter,’ said he, he'll take skin off my bones if I don’t mind. Fust Britisher ever I metas had the sense to see that. ‘Twas rather handsome, warn’t it? Wal, human nature is deep; every man you tackie in business larns ye some- thing. What with picking ye out 0’ the sea, and you giving me back the harpoon the cuss stole, and your face likea young calf, when you are the ‘cutest fox out, and you giving the great United States their due, ’m no more fit to deal than mashed potatoes. Now I cave ; it is only for once. Next time don’t youtry to palaver me.

Soon after this he led Robert to his cabin, and Robert drew a large map from his models; and Fullalove, being himself an excellent draughtsman, and provided with proper instruments, aided him to finish it.

CHAPTER LXVI.

Heten asked Arthur Wardlaw why he was so surprised at the prayer-book being brought back. Was it worth twenty pounds to any one except herself!

Arthur looked keenly at her to see whether she intended more than met the ear, and then said that he was surprised at the rapid effect of his advertisement, that was all

‘Now you have got the book,’ said he, ‘I hope you will erase that cruel slander on one whom you mean to honor with your hand.’

This proposal made Helen blush, and feel very miserable. Of the obnoxious lines some were written by Robert Penfold, and she had so little of his dear band- writing. ‘I feel you are right, Arthur,’ said she; ‘but you must give me time. Then, they shall meet no eye but mine; and on our weddiug-day—of

memorials of one——’ Tears completed the sentence.

Arthur Wardlaw, raging with jealousy at the absent Penfold, as heretofore Penfold had raged at him, heaved a deep sigh and hurried away, while Helen was locking up the prayer-book in her desk. By this means he retained Helen’s pity.

He went home directly, mounted to his bedroom, unlocked a safe, and plunged | is hand into it. His hand encountered a book; he drew it out with a shiver, and gezed at it with terror and amazement.

It was the prayer-book he had picked up in the Square and locked up in that safe. Yet that very prayer-book had been re- stored to Helen before his eyes, and was now locked up in her desk. He sat down with the bock in his hand, and a great dread came over him.

Hitherto Candor and Credulity only had been opposed to him, but now Cunning had entered the field against him: a master- hand was co-operating with Helen.

Yet strange to say, she seemed uncons- cious of that co-operatian. Had Robert Penfold found his way heme by some strange means! Was he watching over her in secret ¢

He had the woman he loved watched night and day, but no Robert Penfold was detected.

He puzzled his brain night and day, and at last he conceived a plan of deceit which is common enough in the East, where Lying is one of the fine arts, but was new in this country, we believe, and we hope to Heaven we shail not be the means of im- porting it.

An old clerk of his father’s, now super- annuated and pensioned off, had a son upon the stage, in a very mean position. Once a year, however, and of course in the dog- days, he had a kind of benefit at his subur- ban theatre; that is to say, the manager allowed him to sell tickets, and take half the price of them. He persuaded Arthur to take some, and even to go to the theater for an hour. The man played a little part of a pompous sneak with some approach to Nature. He seemed at home.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Chaisson’s Dismissal.

Sir.—The dismissalof Mr. Alexander Chaisson, from the office of messenger of the Legislative Council has caused great commotion in this part of the country—he being the only Acadian official in either branch of the Legislature. I understand from Mr. Chaisson that he was not dis- carded through any fault of his. Grit in- fluence was the cause of his discharge. I voted for Dr. McIntyre, also for Dr. Fraser through Dr. MclIuntyre’s advice. Now, I can tell both these gentlemen that, as Frenchmen are dismissed by them, they will fall fall far short of our support here next election. I notice that Mr. Rogers, of Alberton, was the mover of my friend’s dismissal. The vote viven by this gentle- man in this case, as well as the vote given by him on a certain bill will be marked by us against him here, as well as by the French of Tignish, on election day. Yours, A Frenxcu Evicror. Rollo Bay, March 14, 1884. —

Not a Soul Saved

Nor a soul was saved from the explosion at Pocahontas wine says a despatch from Lychburg, Va. Words could not convey the faintest idea of the destruction that was wrought in a few eeconds by the exple- sion. The signs of it were visible on every hand. The entrance to the main shaft was entirely torn out and scattered pell-mell for hundreds of feet. A little train track was torn and twisted, and shepelezs timber and ties were mixed in confusion all around. Cars were taken up bodily and torn in part and their iron wheels shivered. They were thrown three and four hundred feet away. The force of the explosion was terrific. Rocks were thrown through the workshops, and every object that stcod in the direct course of the forced air was demolished. Several workmen in the shops’ were seriouly injured. The shops, as well as the locomotive bouse, were levelled to the groundr Of one hundred and fifty men who were in the mine at the time of the explosion not one has returned to the sur- face, and there is no probability that a single one of them survived. The carpen- ters and laborers, after much suffering and sickness, eucceeded in erecting a fan, and it is hoped that the removal of the bodies can be accomplished on the 14th inst., although the smell from the mine is still sickening and suffocating. About thirty- five Hungarians are among the victims. It is generally thought that the explosion was caused by fire damp, but it is inexplicable how a horizontal coal vein above the water level could contain so much explosive gas. Churches and houres at Pocahontas are draped in mourning and business is entirely suspended.

——

What would Mr. Gladstone have replied ‘when he was denouncing the Imperiel policy of Lord Beaconsfield, had one of his audience risen and said:—‘You will svon find yourself Prime Minister with an as- sured majority in the House of Commons; you will send a fleet to bombard Alexan- dria; you will send soldiers to destroy the Egyptian army; you will establish yourself in Egypt. This you will do be- cause the Egyptians wished to vote their own Budget. You will announce that you remain in Egypt to force a |Khedive upon an unwilling population, and 'to establish liberal institutions, Aiter being there eighteen months you will in- form your Khedive that all Egyptian Min- isters or Governors who venture to object to your orders to them to surrender one of their provinces to men whom you designate as rebels, must at once be removed from | office. Would not his answer have been, | ‘ds thy servant a ef that he should do this great thing!—7"
