"P.S.= =A1=AA I have looked you out the photo where I approximate most to the ange= ls, or rather where my nose turns up least =A1=AA to send tomorrow. In the = meantime here are two snaps. And when, sir, do I get some of you?

&qu= ot;Yes, Lieutenant," replied the Sergeant; "we have just received= notice of the encampment of a party of Hare Indians on the other northern = extremity of the lake."

"You shall see, broth= er," said Henry, leading the way to the smithy. "Dunter," he= said, "rax me that bar from the furnace"; and uplifting Sampson,= as he called the monstrous hammer, he plied the metal with a hundred strok= es from right to left =A1=AA now with the right hand, now with the left, no= w with both, with so much strength at once and dexterity, that he worked of= f a small but beautifully proportioned horseshoe in half the time that an o= rdinary smith would have taken for the same purpose, using a more manageabl= e implement.

At the end of the month Lord Lufton came back to Framley= Court. His arrival there was quite unexpected; though as he pointed out wh= en his mother expressed some surprise, he had returned exactly at the time = named by him before he started.

"Not while Douglas is at large, = and in possession of his power," answered Albany. "But, noble ear= l, come with me, and I will show you at what disadvantage you stand."<= /p>

Let us annex China.

=A1=AEO=A1=AA a London attorney. He acts fo= r Transome. That tremendous fellow at the comer there is some red-hot Radic= al demagogue, and Johnson has offended him, I suppose; else he wouldn=A1=AF= t have turned in that way on a man of their own party.=A1=AF

Amelius = opened his lips to protest =A1=AA and thought better of it. He wisely went = straight on with what he had still to say.

=A1=AEWhat is incredible?= =A1=AF said his wife, sharing her husband=A1=AFs anxiety to the full.

=A1=AEBut, Lufton, I cannot allow you =A1=AA after what has passed =A1=AA = and at the present moment =A1=AA=A1=AF

=A1=AESpeak for yourself,=A1= =AF said Harold. =A1=AEI don=A1=AFt talk in tags of Latin, which might be l= earned by a schoolmaster=A1=AFs footboy. I find the King=A1=AFs English exp= ress my meaning better.=A1=AF

"Not at all. I know the inside con= ditions there. The stock is bound to go up eventually. I=A1=AFll bull it up= . I=A1=AFll combine it with my other lines, if necessary."

=A1= =AEAssuredly, sir. My daughter would in any case have had my advice to seek= a conclusion which would involve no strife. We endeavour, sir, in our body= , to hold to the apostolic rule that one Christian brother should not go to= law with another; and I, for my part, would extend this rule to all my fel= low-men, apprehending that the practice of our courts is little consistent = with the simplicity that is in Christ.=A1=AF

Aileen flung her head ba= ck defiantly. "It=A1=AFs true, nevertheless," she reiterated. &qu= ot;You just don=A1=AFt understand."

"Marriage."

= =A1=AEYou should really found a sect. Preaching is your vocation. It is a p= ity you should ever have an audience of only one.=A1=AF

"Um-m, y= ou don=A1=AFt tell me," observed Senator Simpson, thoughtfully, stroki= ng his mouth with his pale hand.

"Kit," said Fleur=A1=AFs v= oice, "play the game!"

"In ordinary seasons," rep= lied Hobson, "the ice does not break up until early in May; but the wi= nter has been so mild that unless a very hard frost should now set in, the = thaw may commence at the beginning of April. At least that is my opinion.&q= uot; "We shall still have two months to wait then?"

The stu= d farm was fully a mile from Royston village, and at precisely a quarter to= ten every day, when not away at races, bloodstock sales, or what not, Jack= Muskham mounted his potter pony and ambled off to what the journalist had = termed his "equine nursery." He was accustomed to point to this p= otter pony as an example of what horses become if never spoken to in any bu= t a gentle voice. She was an intelligent little three-year-old, three-quart= er-bred, with a fine mouse-coloured coat over which someone seemed to have = thrown a bottle of ink and then imperfectly removed the splashes. Beyond a = slightly ragged crescent on her forehead, she had no white at all; her mane= was hogged, and her long tail banged just below her hocks. Her eyes were q= uiet and bright, and =A1=AA for a horse =A1=AA her teeth were pearly. She m= oved with a daisy-clipping action, quickly recovering from any stumble. Rid= den with a single rein applied to her neck, her mouth was never touched. Sh= e was but fourteen-two, and Jack Muskham=A1=AFs legs, he using long stirrup= leathers, came down very far. Riding her, as he said, was like sitting in = a very easy chair. Besides himself, only one boy, chosen for the quietness = of his voice, hands, nerves, and temper, was allowed to handle her.

F= elix Holt had his illusions, like other young men, though they were not of = a fashionable sort; referring neither to the impression his costume and hor= semanship might make on beholders, nor to the ease with which he would pay = the Jews when he gave a loose to his talents and applied himself to work. H= e had fixed his choice on a certain Mike Brindle (not that Brindle was his = real name =A1=AA each collier had his sobriquet) as the man whom he would i= nduce to walk part of the way home with him this very evening, and get to i= nvite some of his comrades for the next Saturday. Brindle was one of the he= ad miners; he had a bright good-natured face, and had given especial attent= ion to certain performances with a magnet which Felix carried in his pocket= .

"The American Trust Company of New York has suspended payment.= "

And Gabinet Naktr

When I left by steamer and struck acro= ss the Sound to our naval station at Victoria, Vancouver Island, I found in= that quiet English town of beautiful streets quite a colony of old men doi= ng nothing but talking, fishing, and loafing at the Club. That means that t= he retired go to Victoria. On a thousand a year pension a man would be a mi= llionaire in these parts, and for four hundred he could live well. It was a= t Victoria they told me the tale of the fire in Vancouver. How the inhabita= nts of New Westminster, twelve miles from Vancouver, saw a glare in the sky= at six in the evening, but thought it was a forest fire; how later bits of= burnt paper flew about their streets, and they guessed that evil had happe= ned; how an hour later a man rode into the city crying that there was no Va= ncouver left. All had been wiped out by the flames in sixteen minutes. How,= two hours later, the Mayor of New Westminster having voted nine thousand d= ollars from the Municipal funds, relief-waggons with food and blankets were= pouring into where Vancouver stood. How fourteen people were supposed to h= ave died in the fire, but how even now when they laid new foundations the w= orkmen unearthed charred skeletons, many more than fourteen. =A1=AEThat nig= ht,=A1=AF said the teller, =A1=AEall Vancouver was houseless.

Aileen understood. It was Cowpe= rwood he was referring to. That frightened her.

"Time to wait, d= ear, till my uncle is not quite so anxious as he is now."

In the evening a good supper was served in the large room, and the healths= of Mrs Barnett and of Lieutenant Hobson were proposed.

If Esther had been le= ss absorbed by supreme feelings, she would have been aware that she was an = object of special notice. In the bare squareness of a public hall, where th= ere was not one jutting angle to hang a guess or a thought upon, not an ima= ge or a bit of colour to stir the fancy, and where the only objects of spec= ulation, of admiration, or of any interest whatever, were human beings, and= especially the human beings that occupied positions indicating some import= ance, the notice bestowed on Esther would not have been surprising, even if= it had been merely a tribute to her youthful charm, which was well compani= oned by Mrs Transome=A1=AFs elderly majesty. But it was due also to whisper= ings that she was an hereditary claimant of the Transome estates, whom Haro= ld Transome was about to marry. Harold himself had of late not cared to con= ceal either the fact or the probability: they both tended rather to his hon= our than his dishonour. And today, when there was a good proportion of Treb= ians present, the whisperings spread rapidly.
