| ‘Springbok, General Rolleston whispered |to Captain Moreland, aud what he said may be almost guessed from what occurred on board the steamer soon afierward. Helen was carried trembiing to the cabin, and the order was given to heave up the anchor arid get under way. A groan of disap- pointment ran through the ship; Captain Moreland expressed the General’s regret ito the men, and divided £200 upon the | capstan; and the groan ended in a cheer,
| As for Helen’s condition that was at first mistaken for ill heatth. She buried herself for two whole days in her cabin; and from

that place faint. moans were heard new | and then. The sailors called her the sick lady. i
that forty-eight hours.
She came upon deck at last in a strange’ state of mind and body; restless, strung up, absorbed. ‘The rare vigor she had ac- quired on the island came out now with a vengeance. She walked the deck with a | briskness and a pertinacity that awakened admiration in the crew at first, but by-and- by superstitious awe. For, while the un- tiring feet went briskly to and fro over leagues and leagues of plank every day, the great hazel eyes were turnec’ inward, and the mind absorded with one idea, ; skimmed the men and things about her listlessly.
-~She had a mission to fulfil, and her, whole nature was stringing itself up to do) the work.
She walked so many miles a day, partly, from excitement, partly from a deliberate. resolve to cherish her health and strength; ‘I may want them both,’ said she, ‘to clear | Robert Penfold.’ Thought and high pur-' pose shone through her so, that after awhile nobody dared trouble her much with commonplaces. To her father, she was)
always sweet and filial, but sadly cold com- | pared with what she had always been | hitherto, He was taking her body to Eug- | land, but the heart stayed behind upon| that island; he saw this, and said it.
‘Forgive me,’ said she, coldly; and that was all her reply.
Sometimes she had violent passions of’ weepirg; and then he would endeavor to) console her; but in vain. They ran their! course, and were succeeded by the bodily| activity and concentration of purpose they | had interrupted for a little while.
At last, after a rapid voyage, they soon! near an English coast, and then General Rolleston, who had hitherto spared her) feelings, and been most indulgent and con- siderate, felt it was high time to come to an | understanding with her as to the course, they should both pursue.
‘Now, Helen,’ said he, ‘about the Ward- laws |
Helen gave aslight shudder. But she said, after a slight hesitation, ‘Let me’ know your wishes?
‘Oh, mine are not to be too ungrateful to the father, and not to deceive the ssn.’
‘I will not be ungrateful to the father, nor deceive the son, said Helen firmly.’ The General kissed her on the brow, and called her his brave girl. ‘But,’ said he, ‘on the other hand, it must never be pub- lished that you have been for eight months on an island alone witha convict. Anything sooner than that. You know the malice of your own sex; if one woman gets hold of that you will be an outcast from society.’
Helen blushed and trembled. ‘Nobody need be told that but Arthur; and IJ am! sure he loves me well enough uot to injure me with the world.’
‘But he would be justified in declining your hand after sucha revelation.’
‘Quite. And I hope he will decline it when he knows I love another, however hopelessly.
‘You are going to tell Arthur Wardlaw all that?
‘i am.’
‘Then all I can say is, you are not like other women.’
‘I have been brought up by a man.’
‘Well, if I was Arthur Wardlaw, it would be the last word you would ever speak to me!’
‘If you were Arthur Wardlaw, I should be on that dear Island now.’
‘Well, suppose his love should be greater than his spirit, and—’
‘If he does not go back when he hears of my hopeless love, I don’t see howI can. I shall marry him; and try with all my soul to love him. I'll open every door in Lon- don to Robert Penfold | except one; my husband’s. And that door, while I live, he shall never enter. Oh, my heart, my heart ! She burst out sobbing desperately and her father laid her head upon his bosom, and sighed deeply, and asked him- self how all this would end.
Before they landed, her fortitude seemed to return; and of her own accord she begged her father to telegraph to the Wardlaws,
‘Would you not like a day to compose yourself, and prepare for this trying inter- view ! said he.
‘I should; but it is mere weakness, And I must cure myself of my weakness, or I shall never clear Robert Penfold. And then, papa, I think of you. If old Mr. Wardlaw heard you had been a day in town, you might suffer in his good opinion. | We shall be in London at seven. Ask |them at eight. That will be one hour's re- \spite. God help me, and strengthen poor

and precisely at eight o’clock they drove up to the door of the hotel.
They followed the servant with bounding hearts, and rushed into the room where the General and Helen stood ready to receive them. Old Wardlaw went to the General with both hands cut, and so the General met him, and between these two it wasalmost an embrace. Arthur ran to Helen with cries of joy and admi- ration, and kissed her hands agsin and again, and shed such genuine tears of joy over them that she trembled all over, and was oblived to sit dowr. He kneeled at her feet anc still imprisoned one ha: d, and numbled it, while shé turned her head away and held her other hand before her face to hide its real expression, which was a mixture of pity and repugnance. But, as her face was hidden, and her eloquent body quivered, and her hand was not with- drawn, it seemed asweet picture «! feminine affection to those who had not the key.

Items from Souris.
In ‘‘Items from Souris,” dated Sept. 17, 1883, your correspondent furnished a copy of a Petition, praying for more convenient Government buildings for Souris. Messrs. Matthew, McLean & Co., had charge of it. This part of the Isisnd should certainly receive some attention at the hands of the Government in the direction indicated. A public building for Post Office, Customs and other Government business is necessary in this part of King’s Co. The petition, largely signed, has been forwarded to Ottawa; and we trust our wants will not be overlooked when the supplementary estimates are brought down.
Little Harbor is happy over a boom in bait. Report has it that over 2,000 barrels of caplin have been caught. Providence has thus rewarded the labors of our hardy fishermen. May the “‘sprats bring in the Mackera!” a thousand fold.
Mr. Albert McLaren, of Rollo Bay (brother of the Rev. James McLaren who lately died in Siam) met with a serious aceident a few days ago. While working in the woods, a tree fell over, knocking him down, and bresking his leg. Much sympathy is felt for him, and it is to be hoped he will soon be wellas ever. We are happy to know that at present he is pro- gressing favorably under the skilful hands of Dr. Muttart.
The good people of North Lake are agitating for a Pest Office, and they should have it. The place to pitch it is the residence of Thos. Rose, Esq. It is neces- sary for the accommedation of a large number of residents in Lakeville school district and Munn’s Road,
Religion is astir abont places of worship. Efforts are being made to secure funds to erect a new Baptist Meeting House, and negotiations are going on for the purchase of the ‘‘Protestant” Church in Souris West, to be used for the services of the Church of Many wish to see such a build- ing in Souris East, and very likely the negotiations will terminate favorably.
Valentines are al! the rage now. Some of them are beautiful producticns. They are so ‘‘utterly utter’ they bang descrip- tion. Ugly ones prove friendship, and pretty ones—oh my! Not being an artist, I cannot transmit a copy, but they are lovely, pcsitively paroxysmally lovely— beautiful feautures, lovely eyes, sweet mouth, hereculean chin, nose worth one and a half, and dead drunk. Don’: say a word about the poetry—that is sublime, and the expressions of affection and display of feel- ing, elegance of diction, ete., are truly heart rending. They shall be preserved as precious souvenirs. Many thanks; we weep for more—at least so I was told.
“This is not the age of miracles,”’ some folks would have us believe. The point is disputed, and is away among the theologies, so theologists can settle it. But things very like miracles take place every now and then. When the dead comes to life, either by way of mistake or any other way, people feel curious about it. When men or women who have been addicted to strong drink become sober, reasonable and respect- able, it is a sort of a miracle, scoffers laugh at it, the boon companions of the cup revile you—you have ceased to be ‘‘a good fellow,’ and suddenly become a reptile, or some other outlandish specimen of human- ity. The drunkard is a fool, capable of anything and everything, his sober senses would never dream of. To be a drunkard and not a fool would be another miracle. Now for the last miracle—the dead coming to life! The other day one of our most re- respected North Side neighbors — Mr. Alex. McCormack—received intelligence of the death of ason in the States, and this is how it happened: A man and woman, travelling from a village towards Boston, saw aman sitting on the roadside. The woman remarked to her companion, ‘‘that man looks as if he is dead, go and see.” The man proceeded to examine, and found that the poor fellow was dead. Searching his pockets, made him out to be a native of P. E. Island, giving the address of friends here. An inquest was held, the verdict heart disease, and a respectable burial given to the body, all of which was duly communicated to the ‘‘friends’’ here. Now the news arrives that Mr. McCor- mack’s son is still alive, not away among the dead, and his coat did the whole of it. It seemed the deceased had been a fellow-boarder, and had borrowed the coat found upon him, hence the mistake—and the miracle.
Ash Wednesday is the day fixed for our next public temperance meeting. Several able speakers are expected, and gentleman | from Charlottetown and elsewhere will be asked to address the andience. The Agricultural Hall will be used and we ex-
| Arthur to bear the blow I bring him !’ | Long Arthur Wardlaw had passed from a state ‘of somber misery and remorse to one of | joy, exultation and unmixed happiness. He no longer regretted his crime, nor the loss of the ‘Proserpine.’ Helen was alive land well, and attributed not her danger,
) but only her preservation to the Wardlaws. |
Wardlaw senior kept his carriage in town,
before eight o’clock that day, |
pect a rousing rally. Printers ink will give | particulars in due time. Se
| A much-needed and substantial fence has | been erected on the Convent grounds. The | Catholic Choir are receiving musical train- ‘ing from Mr. Gaudet. The members meet for practice every Wednesday ¢vening.
