CHAPTER I. The Chateau de Msbillon stood on the summit of a low but abrupt hill, over- looking one of the most beautitul valleys of France. In appearance it was scarcely habitable, to: it had suffered greatly in the Revolution; and though time had veiled the rough work of the inoendiaries with luxuriant ivy and creepers, the chateau was but a ruin. with the exception of a few rooms which had escaped the general devastation, and were still occupied by the De Mabillon_lam_ily. Very small had that family become of late years, dwindling as rapidly almost as their fortune had diminished. Alphonse de Msbillon,“ the age of five-snd-forty, found himself the sole survivor of his gener- alionâ€"brothers and sisters were all dead, more distant relatives had emigrated, and were thus lost to him, his little English wife had drooped and died long ago, and he was now leit alone, save for his tWO children. “ You will try to bear it for my sake, will you not ? ” asked her father. Esperanoe turned pale. “ Do you mean, papa, that we must renlly go quite away from home, and leave everything 7”". _ _ The villagers and the cure wondered at monsieur’s grave, sad face, but they all loved him, for he was the very imperson- ation of gentleness and kindness, and gave more in nlms than mnny_a far richer man. On the brow of the hill, surrounding the chateau on all sides, was a. bread terrace, upon which M. de Mabillon might have been seen one autumn afternoon. pacing up and down. His face was more than ordin- arily grave, his head bent as if in anxious thought ; so engrossed was he, that he did not even notice the ringing of the veeper bell, in the convent below the hill, although this was the wonted sign for the appearance othis little daughter. “ For once,” replied her father, smiling and atooping to kiss the little, flexible month which was pretending to pout ; " I have much to think of just now, my child.” Esperanoe looked puzzled. " What can there be to think of, now tint the harvest is over, and the vintage, too, and Gaspard, our gooi Gaspard, has passed his examination ?â€"â€"â€"tell me what @316? 3'0.“ E59“: Perm-1' “ At Paris I ” exclaimed Esperanoe. wonderingly, “ and leave the chateau ‘2 Oh 1 no. papa, we could not live in a great town, away from all the woods and the flowers.

Her studies at the convent were over for the day, and she was making all speed to join her father. Why was he not watching for her as usual ? What made him look so grave and anxious ? She reached the terrace out of breath, and sprung to her father‘s side with a merry laugh. know 3 too 7 ” rarWhp, papa 1 you Have forgotten me, and; have giyen y_qu.a Furpgisg." flies the train. the train The Man Who Miss the Train. how would you like tolive'th'ere â€"Boston Gazette.

It was moat fortunate that I chanced to meet your brother \; I baa no idea you were living at Paris.” Javozte, a middle-aged womzm, with lime, black eyes, and a complexion brown and wrinkled with care and exposure, looked up as Esperance entered the kitchen, and said, in a. grating but not really dis- agreeable voice, “Ah, well, ma’meaellel there are paople who can always sing; when you_are as old as I amâ€"." She was cheerful and buoyant by nature, and the news of the afternoon did not weigh upon her, though to a certain extent she felt it. Having left her father in the garden, she ran into the chateau, to find Javott-e. Actually singing as she went. “A fairly good crossing, thank you; there was an ugly sou’-wester when we started, but it soon went down.” Eapei‘ance had not the fainted idea. of the meaning of “ an ugly son’-wester,” but she went; 0!} bravely. “And you tire arrived at Paris to-day?

" " I shall sing just as much." interrupted Esperanoe, laughing. “ But after all, Javotte, I do not fall quite like singing to- night, only you see it is no good to sit down and’ my ; dear old Javotte. you will come with us, will you not ? Now any ‘ yes,’ directlyâ€"do not clear your throat ! "_ She shook hands with him as directed, and noticing that his French was decidedly embarrassing to him, began to display her smallstock of English with some pride. “ You have mafia a. good voyage, I hope, my qougip _? ” Jnvotte, however, was in no condition for speaking. She finished making an omelet before venturing to begin, and then with many geaticulmions opened her heart to Eaperance. Esperance looked up full of curiosity, for the English relations had always been enveloped in a cloud of mystery. She was not particularly struck with the specimen before her. George Palgrave, might, per- haps, have been five-and-twenty ; he was tall, large-made, fair eomplexioned, and, in Esperanoe‘s eyes, awkward-looking, as complete a contrast to the slight, dark-eyed Gaspard as could _ha.v_e peep found. “ It is this way, my childâ€"monsienr tells me of the change which comes, and at once I say to myself, ' I love ma'maelle and monsieur. and M. Gaspard. they goâ€"then I must go also ; and again I say to myself, I love my son Pierre, he stays here, then I must stay.’ Voila ! Ma’mselle, how can I choose then, between these two ? ” From her window au quatrieme, Esper- snoe soon desoried her brother in the distance. accompanied, much to her sur- prise, by a. stronger, long-legged and stalwart, and, on nearer View. decidely English. Visitors were so rare in the little salon that Espersnoe was in a flutter of excitement at the very idea ; she listened eagerly for footstepsâ€"yes, there were assuredly two people mounting the flight of stairs. The door was opened by Gaspard. “ I have brought you a visitor, Cherie. Is my father not at home ? " Then as Esperence bowed to the stranger, “ No, no, this is our cousin, Mr. George Pslgrsve; you must give him an English Lend-shake. We met each other most unexpectedly at Gslignsni’s, each recogniz- ing the other’s name." “ Pierre could come too," said Esper- ance, quickly. “ Indeed, Javotte, I can not live without you ; have you not often said how my‘mothet asked you to love me and care for me before she died. and will you leave me now_ go go away aloha ? " Esperanoe, disregarding the foreboding tone of the last word, promiaed to dance at Pierte’s wedding, and ran away to impart the good news to her father. - CHAPTER II. The winter was over, and the bright spring weather was pleasant enough in Paris, even to those accustomed to a country life. Esperance, as she sat with her needle-work by the open window. could think of her old home almost without a. sigh, so sweet and clear did the air feel, and so bright and cheerful was the sun- shine. The room in which she was seated was bare of all luxuries ; a polished floor, a stove, and the necessary chairs and tables sound cold enough in description,neverthe- less, there was an air of freshness and grace in the arrangement of the whole which is often wanting in better furnished rooms. Esperance was thoroughly French, and had all a Frenehwoman’a delicate tact and taste. Her mother had been of English birth, but had apparently bequeathed little of her nationality to her childâ€"«perhaps, rather to M. de Mablllon’e disappointment ; he would have been pleased to have some likeness to his fair little English wife, but both Eeperanoe and Gaspard, were un- mistakably De Mabillone. Esperanoe was not, strictly speaking, pretty, but there was a freshness and glow about her oom- plexion which made up for any want of actual beauty. Her low, smooth brow and regular features were not in the least striking, but the power of the face lay in her eyes, which, though not large, were wonderfully bright and of the richest brown color, soft and velvety in the shade, and clear as amber in the light. Her dark hair fell like a cloud round her pretty, sloping shoulders. and her slight figure and little round waiat might have been the envy of many a belle. This, however, was not to be had ; he was too completely the country gentleman, and too ignorant in business matters to meet with any suitable employment. J nvotte could not resist such an appeal ; after all, she thought, Pierre would no doubt marry, and than she would not be wantedâ€"yes, she would accompany ma’mselle till death. Jevotte felt the change more than any one else. Perhaps the actual parting from the chateau was not so painful to her as to its owners, but the life at Paris, was far less congenial. She was too rust-i0 ever to feel at home in a city ; the hire tried her temper, the noise tried her head, and altogether she was for a. time most unhappy. Espernnoe only discovered a small part of her miseries, for the good old Servant was far too unselfish to complain, and devoted herself more than ever to the service of the De Mabillons. To be an advocate, however, had long been his wish, and M. de Mabillon, despite his poverty, would not guiusay him, and even went so far as to seek work himself in order to meet their expenses. The afternoon was somewhat advanced, and Esperance, neglecting her work, stationed herself at the window to watch for her brother’s return. Gaspard was now studying for the bar. notwithstanding that his father's fallen {oz-tunes would have made some less uphill profession in more advisable.

Palgrave relations; . de Mabillon’s greeting was gravely polite, but scarcely cordial; the conver- sation became at once more formal and stiff. and Mr. Palgrave‘s complexion grew so fiery that Esperanoe felt her own cheeks tingle out of sympathy. He father was evidenth well acquainted With all the mys- terious relations ; she heard him inquire after Dean Collinson ana his daughters, after Mr: and Mrs. Palgrave, and other unknown names, yet there was a curious constraint in his manner which Esperance could not account for. She grewa little weary and oppressed. and was not sorry when her cousin rose to go, having refused an invitation to ainner.

Amy was very beautiful. and from the first I loved her. She had other admirers, however, and among them a certain Sir Henry Worthington, a very rich and influential man. Mr. Oollinson thought the connection would be a useful one, and urged your mother to consent. At the same time I made my proposal to him for his sister's hand, greatly to his annoyance.

Mr. Lister moved that a select. c'ommit- tee be appointed to inquire into the claims of Bresayler, the half-breed, for compen- sation for property destroyed dunng the Northwest rebellion of 1885. The investi- gation, he said, would bring to the surface the names of eminent men, including Gen. Middleton, Hayter Reed, Indian Commis- sioner, and Sam. Bedeon, warden of Stony Mountain penitentiary. He believed that he would be able to establish that Gen. Middleton’s conduct in the transaction, which he desired the committee to investi- gate, was unbecoming an official of the Government; that it the charges were proved he could no longer be fit to retain his present position. After reciting a number of charges, he came to deal with that of Charles Bremner, a halt-breed, and afur dealer, having at the time of the rebellion four or five stations. Bremner, on the outbreak of the rebellion, collected his furs and brought them to the fort at Battlefcrd. The soldiers removed a num- ber of skins, and he appealed to Gen. Middleton for protection. The General ordered them to be taken inside the fort, and the Government practically assumed the protection of the goods, which were estimated at from $4,000 to $6,000. Bremner was arrested. and shortly after- wards released without a trial. Bremner proceeded after his release to Battleford to look after his furs, and was told that they had been disposed of by order of Gen. Mid- :‘dellton. He saw the Minister of Militia, bit that ' gentleman said that he knew nothing about the skin‘s. Gen. Middleton diselaimed any knowledge of the lure. The :‘ question aross, what became at them ?

He (Mr. Lister) had evi- pence to show that from time to time the friends of olfioere in command recoived letters authorizing them to take furs from Bremner‘s stock, that when Gen.

Mr. Barron. on the resumption of the debate on the third reading of the bill to incorporate the Grand Orange Lodg of British America, and the amendment by Mr. Curran that the said order be not allowed to hold processions in provinces which have made legal enactments against , them, said : I must confess to a feeling oi disappointment that the time of the in- troduction of this bill does not permit me to answsr some 0! the arguments which were advanced against it on two former oc- casions, namelyl in 1883 and 1885. I am rejoiced to know that time has done what argument failed to do upon that occasion. Time has convinced the majority of hon. members that it is advisable and desirable in the interests of justice that the Orange- men should receive incorporation. There is nothing in this bill legalizing secret societies. It legalized it simply for bone- volent purposes. I think it is perfectly clear that this House can pass this bill without in any way interfering with the law of Lower Canada. There is a law, in Quebec affecting Montreal, wherein it is provided that societies such as this cannot hold pro- cessions. This bill wrilnot afiect that law. 1 assert it, without fear of contradiction, that thatlaw wiilremain the law; and when the member asked that his amendment be em- bodied in the bill be was only trying to duplicate, so to speak, the law, so far as Quebec is concerned.

Mr. Charlton, in moving for the first reading of the Bill to secure better observ- ance of the Lord's day, said that this measure was brought forward at the in- stance of the Lord's Day Alliance and had been drafted by himself and the mem- ber for Albert (Mr. Weldon). The principle was approved of by all Evangelical Chris- tians. He then read the various clauses of the Bill. The Sunday newspaper in the United States has been found to be a great source at desecration. It interfered with Sunday rest and quiet, and withdrew one’s attention from spiritual matters to that which was purely worldly. The regu- lation of railway traffic was a subject of considerable importance and one which has given a good deal of trouble in dealing with it. It was important to the great army of 23,000 to 30,000 men employed on the railways of Canada. The majority of these are compelled to work on Sunday, and this had a serious bearing on their social and religious welfare. A railway man who is compelled to leave his house on Sunday cannot feel otherwise than degraded in the character of work in which he is engaged. Such men would prefer to be at home with their wives and families or attend church. Sunday excursions involved unnecessary labor and were often accom- panied by debauchery and riot. The man ‘ who remained at home was invariably in 3 better shape on Monday than he who has gone off on an excursion. These excursions, too, deprived railway and steamboat cm.- ployees of the Sunday rest to which they were entitled. The Bill was one which he ventured to say had the approval of the Christian gentlemen of Canada. He did not profess to believe that it would be acceptable to every section of the Christian Church. The Roman Catholic Church would disapproVe of it. ascertaining that fact that he asked for a select committee. It was extraordinary that the Government should refuse to in- vegtjgaje these olaim_s.§ Mr. Lister, resuming. said many leading citizens of the Northwoss pledgz dtheir v: 0rd that: these charges were true. The very leash the Government should do would be to investigate these clalma. Mr. MoDowall said that these halfbreeds were not French but Scotch halfbrceds. He did not believe that Gen. Middleton or Mr. Reed had taken Bramner’s furs. but at the same time he tbaught that Bremuer had a. case againss the Government. He believed $3,500 would cover Bremner‘a olnim. Mr. Bowell said he utilized all the col- lectors in British Columbia. by making them controllers, but he gave them no ad~ ditional pay. During the past year ended the 30th June, 1889, there were at Van- couver 739 Chinese immigrants, 235 regis- trations, 300 certificates of leave. and the collections were $37,367 ; in Victoria there were 34 immigrants, 509 registrations, 991 certificates of leave. collections $2,945; in N ewWestminster there were no immigrants 26 registrations, 27 certificates of leave ; at Winnipeg there was 1 immigrant; at Emer- son there was I immigrant and $50 collec- leotions; at Montreal and Quebec there were 6 immigrants, 1 registration, 1 certificate of leave, and collections 3301; at Ottawa, 1 immigrant, 1 registration. 2 certificates, col- lections $52; making a total of 894 immi- grants, 722 registrations. 1,322 certificates Qfleave, angl collections $40,898. Mr. Watson said that the charges made by the member for West Lambton could be proven if the committee of investigamion were appointed. There were othermatters which should be investigated. It could be proven that pillaging and moat outrageous conduct were carried on by officers and others who went to the Northwsst during rebellion. Mr. Edgar said it was only British fair play to allow these hnltbreeda an oppor- tugity ‘ofiproling their olnxma._ » ' Mr Bowell ssid there had been no direct communication with the States on the sub- ject, but thrre had been some negotiations carried on by some of his (Mr. Bowell’s) officers with the special agents of the States to tic-operate to prevent these abuses. It was almost imfossible, where there was merely an imaginary line to put a stop to this illicit traffic. In their cellars. cssks of liquor are placed on small cars. If a Can- adian officer enters, they run the casks on to the American side, and they are run back to Canada it an American oflioial enters. Sir John Thompson said this case had been fully investigated, and these people had had ample opportunity to prove their claims. The commission, after investigat- ing. had reported that these claims should not be paid, because these people had par- ticipated in the rebellion. He recognized the (not that the claims for Bremner’s furs rested upon different grounds. An inquiry had been made, and from a claim of 07,000 it dwmdled down to $3,000. The Govern- ment had no money to pay that claim without consulting the House. If the matter went into court the charges against these officers would there be investigated. Mr. Scriver drew attention to the great abuses which exiet upon our frontier, in what was called line stores. These stores were built upon the boundary line, partly in Canada. and partly in the States. A great deal of iilicis traflio went on in these places, especiafly in liquors. ’Mr. Davies asked how 32,000 was ex- pe_n_ded_in adininiggelziug t1_1_e_ C_hix_1»esp Aof. Sir Richard Cartwright thought this suggestion should be accepted, and in order that it might be brought befere the House he moved in amendment that a. select com. mittee be appointed to inquire into the question of the disposal of the furs. Sir John Macdoneid said that this was altogether a new proposition. It would be abhorrent to British justice to have an in- vestigation going on at Ottawa into the actions of Gen. Middleton while a. suit was pending against him in the West. He therefore moved the adjournment of the debate in order that the Government might consider the mattzr, and he promised that there wouia be ample opportunity given this session to further discuss the question Mr. Laurier said that atlust the Govern- ment had admitted the charge that Charles Bremner had been deapoiled of his pro- perty. If this man had been deapoiled. undoubtedly the Government of Canada was liable. But there was a public ofifenoe as well as this private grievance, anti if there had been such a wrong committed it We: the duty of the Government to reo- tifyjt. V Mr. O’Brien said the claims for compen- sation could easily be disposed of, but the serious charges made against a. gentleman who occupied the high position of com- mander of Her Majesty’s forces in Canada were such as could not be passed over in silence. The allegations should be sub- stantiated or the imputations withdrawn. There seemed to be no doubt that a. system of looting prevailed to a considerable ex- tent in the Northwest rebellion. It was a practice as could not be too severely eonâ€" demned, and their soldiers should be made aware that the Government and country would not permit such conduct and would follow it with severe punishment. Mr. Lister said the feet that the Govern- ment was attempting to bath the investi- gation therein threw a. suspicion on those implicated. He would consent to restrict the resolution to the investigation of the oharegs against Gen. Middleton, Hayter Reed and Mr. BedsonY it the Government would accept that. “up.” .wuy u“ u. .v. u. pun... uAAu “mu have them return again. E M EAR! A RADHCA L c U R E.

ORONTO- Mr. Foster said the Govarnment had to meet this motion in she same way as all similar motions affecting the tariff, which were brought before the House, when they had the subject under consideration. The folldwing bills were read a third time : Sir Hbctor Langevin replied that he would bring the matter to the attemion of the Government. Sir John Thompson, in introducing the bill to transfer certain public property to the Provincial Governments, said that the rights of the Dominion of Canada and the rights of the Provinces in certain properties and waters of the country had been in a. state of uncertainty for some time past. These were foreshores, beds of rivers and beds of lakes. The bill provides to enact conditions under which the Governor-in- Oouneil could transfer all or part of these properties to the Provinces. Sir Johanhompsonâ€"Ib is merely in- tended to sursender proprietary rights. The Bill was read a first time. Mr. Fisher, on motion hing made that the House go into supply, called attamion to the proposed tariff changes.
