This was not at all the way in which Queenie had intended to commence. She was going to skirt roundlhe secretâ€"come to it gradually â€"or, as she had expressed it to herself. “hunt Christine down.” But when she saw her, and remembered the mother who had been so wronged and deceived even on her death bed. her hot, passionate temper rose up at once, and she blurted out what, she knew and then waited the result. It wasdifierent from what she anticipated. She had expected Christine to crouch at once at her feet and. cowering before her, confess her guilt and sue for pity and pardon. But Christine did nothing of the sort. Quirt and gvntls as she usually seemed. there was still within her a. fierce. tier» spirit. ~\hivh, when roused. was some- thing akin to the demon which ruled Queeniv in her moods. When chmged with being Christ as Bodine she was Worn in mind ans body. and had shown on'y nervousness and agitation, {or Queenie had not approached hzr as rhe did now. There was no loathing no hatred in her minner when she said: " You are Christine. my ofd nurse.” She had merely been excitedan l reproachiul ; but now she was angry and disgmted. and proclaimed the woman's sin with so much bitterness. and shrank away from her with so much loathi' u that Christine was rousid to defend herself though at. first she was stricken dumb when she heard of the letters which she rememberen so well, and Which would tell what she had kept so long. Standing buts few feet from Queenie she gazed at her a moment, with a pallid fees. on which all the worst emotions 0! bet nature were visible. And when at last she spoke, it was not in the low, hali-deprecating, apologetic voice natural, or rather habitual, to her, but the tone was loud. and clear, and defiant, in which she as d: ” Mnrgaret Fergusnn‘s daughter 1” Queenie repeated. m a Whirpel‘. which. low as it was. sounded distinctly through the room, and told how the young girl’s hem: was wrung with a mortal fear as she continued : “ then who am I, tnd who are you ‘2" For a moment there was death like silence in the room, for Christine. half crazed though and pitilees, while the gleam in her eye was wilder and more like a maniac. “ What do you mean? What letters have you seen, and where did you find them ?” ” It does not matter to you where I found them. It is sufficient that I have found them, and know your bayefaced treachery and how you deceived my motherwho trusted you so implicitly. and who died believing you to be so good, and hone st. and true to her when all the time you were black to the core and were carrying on an intrigue with my father. I believe, however, I could forgive the crime for the sake of what it has given me. were it not for the faithlessnees to my mother. That I cannot forgive. You knew when you held her dying head on your bosom that you were a traitor, a vile woman whose touch was pollution. And yet you dared lay your hands on her dead form, dared care for her baby. and kiss it with lips from which all innocence and purity had fled. and then you wrote to my father and called yourself his little Tina. as if you really supposed he could care for you l Don’t you know it was only a wicked passion. there was no love in it, no respect. or it would not have died so soon. Men never love women like you. and my father was not an eXception. He cast you off as we do a worn-out garment ; he hated the thought of you. hated himself for his sin. and repented so bitterly. I see it all nowâ€"understand his remorse on ship-board before he died. He was thinking of the past and you, and the thought was like a scorpion, stinging him to madness and making , him long to confess to me, his daughter. the wrong he had done my mother. But he could not, weak as he was then and worn. he could not look me 1n the face and say, ‘ I was false to your mother ;’ could not tell me that,when he knew how much I loved and honored him, but he made me promise solemnly to forgive him if I ever found it out. and I promised. and I‘ll keep the promise. too, though just now, I feel hard and bitter toward him, and were be living I should rebel against him so hotly and say I never could forgive him, as I never can you. whom I loved and respected but whom I now know to be false in every- thing. You have made me believe a lie from first to last. until I can credit nothing you have told me, and am ready to doubt if your name is ually La Rue, or if that man were your husband." While she had been talking so rapidly Christine had stood rigid and immovable. with a strange look upon her face and a gleam in her dark eyes such as mad pimple sometimes wear when they are becoming dan serous. Queenie’s sudden and unexpected attack had no confounded and bewildered Christine that she felt her brain reeling and was conscious of a laeliup asif she Were losing control of hrrâ€"elf and would not. long he re‘ npunsxble for whnt the mid. When Queenie spoke of M.

She has better blood 11] her veins than his, Queenie Helberton," and the woman’s voice was hard vent it. Her manner, so difierent from what had been expected. made Queenie still more angry, and she replied with all the stern- ness and dignity it was possible for her to assume : “ But he was not Margery’a father.” Beiu‘ ette continued holding her breath for the answer. which did not come at once. “ He was my husband.

Margery had released her hold of the woman’s arm and sank upon the floor, where she sat with her knees drawn up, her arms encircling them. her head resting unon them, and her whole body trembling as with an sgue chill.

How a Widow was neinstated. Donna, Nov. 2l.â€"-This morning stelegram was received announcing the arrest of fiVe persons who took sprominent part in the land agitation near Loughres, county .Gslwsy. The cause assigned for the arrests is that the men nowin custody assisted at the reinstating of an evicted family. It appears that about a year ago a widow named Demp soy and her five children, residing at Klyehog. near Loughres, Were evicted from a farm. It was afterwards taken by a man named Ken- nedy, but the house in which the widow lived was leveled. Last Sunday night a number of men gathered upon the farm and built a cosy cottage of the ruins. By si o’clock in the morning the house was finished: Subsequent» iy a. meeting was held at which O'Hsllorsn took the chair, and the widow and orphans occupied a place beside the chairman on the platform. Many thousand farmers attended from Loughrea and Portumu e, and several bands were present. Mr. O’Sullivsn. the secretary of the Land League, was also pres- ent. Mr. Kennedy, who up to this time has been referred to in the neighborhood as s . “ grabber,” came forward and announced 1 that he had surrendered the Dempsey farm? and by doing so had forfeited over £160. It i is steted that the men who had been arrested include the chairman of this meeting and four others who had helped in the building of the cottage. The men have been lodged in Gelway jail. and an application to admit them to bail was refused. The report further states that the widow and her children had not been turned out up to the present time. It is not known upon whoseinformation the arrests were made. Cable Notes.

They knew a great deal about the three oificers who were here in 1767, but could tell us very little about Sergeant Andre jew. who was here only five years before, in 1762. They had learned generally that he had been to the Indegirka and afterwards to the Bear Islands, but were ignorant of the ~upposed discoverles which were included in our most recent charts, and when we spoke of a land north oi the Bear Islands and traces of a nomad race in that direction they treated it as table. home of their own people had ac- companied Andrejew on that journey ; how then could the existence of a large inhabited land haze been either unknown or forgotten among them '1‘” I mention this not to prove that Wrangell Land is not inhabited, but to show if the Arctic exploring steamer Jean nette has been fort mate enough to reach that country. as we have reason to suppose and hope, she is the first to do so. and her brave omcers and crew should have the credit of it A CONTINENT IN THE ARCTIC. Large numbers of geese and other aquatic birds pass Point Barrow going north in spring and returning in August and September with their young. As it is well known that these birds nreed only on land this fact must alone be regarded as proof po~itive of the existence of land in the north. Another reason {or sup posing that there is either a continent or a chain of islands passing through the Polar re l gions is the fact that notwithstanding the vast: amount of heat diflused by the warm current passing through Behring‘s Strait the icy bar- r inis from six and one-half to eight degrees fultl’lt‘l‘ south on this side than on the Green- land side of the Arctic Ocean, where the tem- perature is much lower.

There may or may not be foun- dation for these legends. As already stated, he nearest point of land was fully twenty- five miles within the ice pack, and as the new ice had already commenced to form, and there appeared no possibility of reaching it, even to remain in sight of it was to expose the vessel to great danger oi becoming embayed in the ice. as the large quantity of drift ice which lav outside of us was likely to close in at any time and compel us to remain in the pack all winter.

Nov. 22nd.-â€"The readers of the Courier are familiar with the salient features of the contention between our Government and thin of Canada relative to the Canadian wrecking regulation. The controversy remains on settled, and it will remain unsettled until the Dominion authorities grant a full rec procity if privileges to the vessel interests of the lakes. Our Government has taken a fi1m, unequivocal position on the question. and it will be interesting. even to many not en (11de in lake commerce, to know the ('X‘dCl ittituile of the State Department In dealing with the subject, Secretary Evarts does noi msitate to use language intended to give the Canadian authorities to understand that our Government and people are irritated at the uncalled for and utterly unjustifiable course of the Dominion Gowrnment in “111' matter. The latest volume of “ For sign Relations" contains a communication addressed to Sir Edward Thornton by Score .ary Evans, in which the latter speaks wuh :t positiveness and directness unusual in diplomatic correspondence. The following extracts are refreshing and invigorating : It will not be disputed by the Dominion Gov- ernment that the uninterrupted custom and ssage for a long series of years, from the be ginning of this Government until within a veiy recent period, have sanctioned as the rule of action founded upon the 31d and 14th articles of the Treaty of 1794 and reaffirmed by the 7th article of that of 1842, that a ves- sel of either nation wrecked or in distress shall not be debarred from receiving from whatever quaiter the succor which should be prompted by the first insiincts of humanity. For ninety years this just rule has been ob served. Canadian vessels have been freily welcome to give assistance to the end o1 saving life or property. In cases where a ship may be in waters within the jurisdiction of the United States. The United States have always stsod, and still stand, ready to extend the frecst liberty to the V81:- sels of the Dominion, and rather than ham per them in their humane work to give grateful acknowledgment of the service:- which they msy render, such a course has become the unwritten law of this country, and if it has become apparently necessary to limit and define it as in the Act of the Congress of June 19th, 1878, it is because the recent action of the authorities of the Dominion rendersit necessary to reach a precise under standing in the matter. The severe con- struction placed upon the circular, even aw suming that it is issued in due form of law and is binding as an international rule oi action, is inconsistent with common hu- manity and intolerable to good neighborhood The practical consequence of such a policv it is easy to foresee if vessels and crews during the perilous winter are so unfortunate as to be driven upon these Canadian shores even though an American tug or tugs may be at hand with all the appliances for a speedy saving of the vessel or crew, yet under the enforced provisions of the Canadian circular, no interference is to be allowed and the cargo and crew must await the coming of some Canadian tug before rescue can reach them, if release then be not to late. That this las contingency may happen at any time is only too likely, in view of the notorious insuffi- ciency of the steam life saving service on the Canadian shores and the wide intervals be- tween 1he stations irom which help must be awaited. I submit that it would he difficuit to imagine a state of things less in accordance - with the spirit of our civilisation and - an age when the sufferings of even a state of war between nations are sought to be alle- viated by all the means within the power of either party. If the information which I have been able to obtain respecting the origin of the circular in question, or if the act.ou which seems to have preceded it be well founded, and I may remark that it comes from the Canadian officers themselves, it ‘ would appear that no legislation is necessary ' to remove the cause of complaint. The for- L itures and seizures of American vessels on the boundary inland waters. common by treaty stipulations to the vessels of both, are shown to rest on no Act of the Imperial Parliament, neither on any Act of that of the Dominion, nor on any law of the Provincial Government of Ontario. If a simple order of , a subordinate provincialoflicrr is their sole ' support, a simple order from his superior should be sufficient to revoke. It is under- etoo¢i that a provision of the constitutional organization of the Dominion gives to “10 Governor and Council ample power, even if legislation were needed, to decree orders dur- ing the recess of Parliament. which shall have the force ollaw, and certainly no better op portuuity for the exercise of this wise preroga tive could be found than the prompt resolu tion of the question now presented. I trusi that the Dominion Government will not ht si tate to meet the front expression of the views of this Government by at once taking step- to place the saving of life and property on the lakes upon the firm basis of recipiocity o n templated by the recent Act of Congress." In a. subsequent communii ation to Sir Edward , I'hornton Secretary Evarts said: ‘ The ques- tion at issue is one of great importance to the , United States, as you are well aware. There . is a large amount of traflic on the lakes, and it is desirable that the present unsatisfactory condition of the wrecking systim in vogue upon them should give place to something , better and more in accord with international J comity and the terms of treaties between the United States and Great Britain.” In reply to these vigorous and well nigh indignant pro- tests of the Secretary, there is given in the l " Foreign Relations" only a brief 11013 from ( Sir Edward Thornton, simply endorsing a " report of a committee of the Privy Council l for Canada. in'thst report the remarkable I declaration is made that no Canadian ofli- :er I ever interpreted the circular or law as just fy- ing interference with the efforts of vessels of any nationality to succor ves els in distress and save human life or propel-1y while there was a possibiiity of preventing their loss: nor has any case of such interference ever oc- curred. with due deference to the dignity of i the Privy Council of Canada. " A grosser mis- l r. representation than the above assertion it would be difficult to conceive. It is in com- plete accordance with the spirit of the " ring; ;~ :3,- -:<<::’Cr‘n I‘lTC‘flITOE "I l v “pr-"Ii-nâ€"‘Q-Q'T anagrams: 79:0: 0::an r 1 l l E ‘ l 1 s V lChneed by an Angry Mob He Jumps from a Trainâ€"His Fate Unknown.
