"Common law start* with the in fancy of a race and is first recorded in the Holy Bible in Genesis and wa* lost track of again between the chap ter* of Genesis and Exodus. Common law' originated from characters and customs of the people and the existence of a race or clan was the prime object of everything done.

The common law is the substratum or ground work of the legal system existing in England. Canada, in nearly all of the United States of America, and in all of the colonics of the British Empire, with a few exceptions. Parliamentary or statutory law was first mentioned in 1244 on the statute books. Criminal law was now the same all over Canada. Murder in the early days was compensated for by the giving of so many oxen or sheep, according to the sex and member of the family killer and it was in the year 1884 during the reign of Queen Victoria that murder was made punishable by death and a law to this effect was placed on the statute books. The speaker explained several law forms and other phrases of the practise.

Eastern Canada was a forest, and the first thing to do was to clear land to grow wheat, potatoes and hay. The forest was the enemy io be routed. Today. the people of Can ada arc awaking to the fact that the forest they once regarded a, an enemy i« Canada's second best asset, a*d fur thermore. that it is a rapidly-disappear ing asset. White pine was once the most com monly used lumber in this country, and a generation ago it was comparatively plentiful and cheap. Not so today. The original stands of white pine arc nearly gone. For saw-mil! timber we nou de l-end largely on spruce and fir. Seventy per cent, of the timber in Canada of .an-mil! quality stand, in British Co- :i.idriaI Eastern Canada. once a forest, is row buying Irmber from the Pacific The accessible forests of Northern Canada today are chiefly valuable as •ource, of spruce pulp for paper-mak ing. Hon long they will last, subjected to the present rate of exploitation plus the ravages of iorest fire, has been cal culated. and the resulting figure is not at all reassuring. In twenty-five years, unless Canada wakes up soon, her for est industries, her. lumber mills and paper mills and wood-working fac tories. will be dosed up. Because her forests will be gone. Canadian Forest Week calls atten tion to this situation and to the obvious remedy. If we can prevent forest fires, the natural growth from year to year, forestry men say. will provide for the demands of axe and saw. The Can adian people as a whole must realise the great and increasing value of the forests of Canada which remain, and each individual must do his or her best to prevent forest fires. Carefulness and good management will save Can ada's forest industries in perpetuity. Hon Charles Stewart.

Mr. Kellogg has added another to bring four other nations—Britain. Germany. Italy and Japan—into the circle of co- c;-eration with America and France. This week comes the good news that France and the United States are agreed upon the immediate submission to these powers of the entire corres pondence that has passed between I Paris and Washington on the issue ’ mo-t important to the human race to day. Observers see in this an indica tion that genuine progress has been made between Kellogg and Briand. i both sincere peace-lovers.

Sucking a "comfort” does net soothe thc child after a few minutes. It tires him and makes him irritable.

In the absence of the president of the local union. Rev. A. W. Hone introduc ed the speakers, the first being Rev. W. Peck of Toronto, educational sc(rc- tary of the Prohibition Federation of Canada. Mr. Peck explained that the idea of these meetings was to present to the people the latest scientific teach ing and available facts about the tem perance question in a non-polilical manner. He said that there were sev enteen and one-half million* of dollars worth of sales in the first five months un^er the Act. and that he failed to see how this would promote true temper ance; and that also, some thirty uni versities might have been built with the money so spent. In 1928. the Department of Trade and Commerce said that the amount of liquor imported into Canada totalled $44,211,816, while in 1927 there was only twenty-eight million* imported, show ing a big increase. And he said that we must remember that we manufacture it as well as import it. He stated that there were some 97 breweries now in Canada, also 18 distilleries. There were some seventy-five million dollars worth of liquor consumed in Canada, and in the retail way. we were paying some three times this price, so that t was an easy matter to see how much of Can adian money was going in this direc- Baptist Church Annual Supper and Meeting Smooth Swindler A well-dressed young man swindled tuo local merchant* out of about $225 00 last week in a new and novel way.

Alcohol, he said, reduced the efficiency of the working man, that sci ence had set its face against alcohol, and when science was opposed to a thing, it was only a quctsion of time before that thing went under. “In the province where temperance is unknown, Quebec," he said, "it* doctors give this warning to the people: ’Alcohol clouds thethe intellect, blunt* the conscience, stimulate* the pasiion*, and removes that fear which restrains and protects.’ This was a warning that would be well remembered by both our boys and girls, he said. He spoke of the large number of im prisonments and deaths due to acci dent* caused through drunken drivel's. The attitude of the church in regard to this liquor question is scientifically cor rect. Surely we should be better than the animals, and in order to impress upon our people this fact, we must teach it in eur Sunday schools, our day school*, from our pulpits and from the pres*, so that we may become a pros perous, God-fearing people." Rev. Dr. A. J. Irwin of Toronto, gen eral secretary of the Ontario Prohibi tion Union, thanked the officials of the church foe their kindness in giving the use of the building for the meeting and the choir for their assistance. At the present time the organization were car rying on an educational campaign on temperance. He referred to an adver tisement of a brewery of Toronto stat ing that during the fir*t three months of government control this brewery had sold almost as much as in the preceding nine months under the O.T.A. The company was selling new securities and was showing the immense possibilities of large profits with the introduction of government talc in Ontarip. Brew ery and distillery share* had made great advances in the pa,t year and were still on the upgrade. Reports oi A happy and enthusiastic company of people gathered in the church build ing* last Wednesday night to com memorate the close of another church year, and to hear the reports from the various organizations. At 6 JO the ladies served a very bountiful supper, to which ovet 130 sat down. Full jus tice having been done to the splendid provision made, half an hour was spent in visiting and getting acquainted. At 8 o’clock the pastor called the meeting to order in the church auditorium, after which a short sone service, scriptural readings and prayer followed, and the business of the evening began. The pastor expressed hi* appreciation of the officers and members’of the vari ous organizations who had stood loyally by the work during another year, and expressed the hope that the fifth fear of his pastorate, which bad just begun, would be the best yet, and asked for a continuation of the loyal service, without which the work could not be successful. The reports presented showed the work of the church to be in a healthy condition. The clerk's re sort showed eleven new members had been received during the year, while four had passed away, two had been dismissed by letter, and two had been dropped, leaving a net gain of three. Present membership 155. The financial reports of the various organizations all showed a balance on the right side. For all purposes a total of $4096.66 had been raised during the year, nearly a > thousand dollars of which had been liven to missions and benevolent ob- ects. Thi* was a gratifying increase over the previous year. The Sunday school and Young People’s Society lave done particularly well in this di rection. the former having raised $95BJ and the latter $62.79 for missionary! work during the year. During the' evening a hearty vote of thanks to the roung ladies was moved by Mr. H. C. Buchner and seconded by Mr. O. E. Twiss, for the splendid way they had again made a pleasant time in provid-1 ing the bountiful supper. Thanks were I also expressed to those who had vided flowers for the church on days during the past months. The reading of the reports was interspersed by a quartet by Misses Opal Wilson and Hazel Swance, and Messrs. O. E. Twiss and James France; a solo by Mrs. A. A. Sinclair, and a duet by Mrs., W. L. Lindsay and Mr. Frank Booth. | At the close of the business part of the meeting, the chairman of the; deacons' board and the chairman of the finance committee, with the pastor, were called to the front and the fol owing address was read and presenta tion made:To the Rev. Albert and Mrs. Carr: Dear Pastor.—At the end of the Fourth anniversary of your pastorate of the TiUsonburg ( Regular Baptist Zhurch, we feel it an opportune time, and take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude to Almighty God our Heavenly Father for all the benefits and privileges He has bestowed upon us as pastor and people since you be came pastor of our church.

An event of special interest to the member* of the Ontario Division of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers As*ociation was held in Toronto, last week, at the Plant of Durant Mot ors of Canada, Limited. On the in vitation of the Company, between fifty and sixty newspapermen visited the “home of Durant cars" and saw how these automobiles are built, Messrs. F. E. Aldrich and H. F. Johnston of The TiUsonburg News being among the number. On arriving at Toronto, the news papermen met at the King Edward Hotel where luncheon was served in a dining room reserved for the occasion. They were royally welcomed by Roy D. Kerby, general manager and Phil I. Duggan, sales manager and were told if by magic the various units that go to make an automobile. The rear axle was put in position then the springs— all as the chassis moved slowly on the “chain" that inch by inch brought it nearer to completion. Fast, expert hands handled each operation and though it was done quickly there was no mistaking the fact that each operation received the utmost care and attention. Finally, after about 15 minutes, the chassis was completed to the poinf where it was ready to be enameled and go through the baking ovens. During the period that the chasses were slowly passing through the ovens, a sub-assembly was going on apace. Various units were being installed on the Red Seal "L"head Continental motor so that when the chassis emerged from the enamel ovens, its motor was ready to beinitallcd. Compressed-air hoists are used for all lifting\and one of these handled An airplane view of the plant of Durant Motors of Canada. Limited, at Lcaside, on the outskirts of Toronto. The plant covers nearly 15 acres and has approximately half a million square feet of floor space. It is modern in every respect and has a capacity of upwards of 175 cars a day. spray booths equipped .with most mod- deron tools, were, arranged in such a way as to permit the finest of work manship with a minimum of wiste mo tion. Still carried along a line or track, the bodies were sprayed and baked, sprayed and baked until finally they emerged from the last ovens in most attractive colors and ready for rubbing and a final coat. The last operation, in the Duco department was the striping and here it was again noticed that only the great est care and lhe most skillful work manship could possibly meet the de mands of the factory inspectors. Most unique, self-operating track system automatically forwarded the bodies, thus Ducoed, to the trim-shop where the glass was put in the windows, the electric wires, cables etc., were installed, the handle* put on the doors —and everything made ready for the upholstering. Quickly but nevertheless neatly and expertly, the finest of up holstering material was put in the bodies. Battery of Machine* On the right of this "line” there is a battery of electric sewing machines kept constantly humming to keep the workmen supplied with materials. It was one of the busiest spots in the whole plant. Each body was thoroughly inspected before being passed and once passed it was ready to be lowered down the "hatch to the completed chassis at the end of the chassis line and at the point where the newspapermen halted their journey to see the bodies being built. After watching this work from the upper floor, the visitors went down to.the chassis line again and there they certainly marvelled at the way in which lhe bodies were put on the chassis. Every move of the mechanic* was the right move, at the right time. The body was no sooner lowered than the whole car was automatically moved over a pit. Men with compressed air wrenches soon had the body fastened securely to the chassis and the whole car ready for the brake testing machine. Phil. J. Duggan. Sales Manager of Durant Motor* of Canada Ltd., who was chairman at a luncheon tendered the Weekly Newspapermen who visited the Durant plant last week. that it was solely for the purpose of acquainting representative citizens of Ontario with the methods employed in building Durant cars that the meet ing had been called. Mr. Kerby spoke briefly on the im portance of the automobile industry in Canada and gave some very interesting figures on the capital invseted. He stated that the Durant company bought Canadian made materials from more than 300 Canadian sources of supply. He referred to the fact that the company was now on a dividend paying basis and that the cash position of the company was exceedingly sat isfactory. Mr. Duggan voiced the appreciation of the company for the large turn-out and said he hoped that each person would carry away a belter understand ing of the size and extent of this plant which covers nearly 15 acres of ground and has approximately half a million square feel of floor space. Geo. H. K. Milford, president of Mitford Advertising Limited, gave a short talk on the subject of automobile advertising after which the chairman, Mr. Phil Duggan invited the guests to adjourn to the plant in new Durant automobiles. The Cbaoi* Line The inspection of the plant commenc ed at the beginning of the chassis line. The first operation was that of fabri cating the steel chassis frame by means of compressed air machines which riv- etted the rivets cold. It was explained that this methtod did away with the natural shrinkage that follows the riv- etting of hot rivets. The cold rivet fills the whole in the frame with metal when it is clinched under a pressure of 20 to 25 tons, thus making the chassis frame as nearly as possible one. sturdy piece. The chassis frame when completed, started on the chassis line and gradu ally it' seemed to gather together as the powerful motors as if were a toy, ticking it up quickly and lowering it gently to its- position in the chassis. ■Ixpert hands soon had the motor bolted o the frame in a rubber mounting and s the-zjob, completed to this point, ontiued its journey on the ever moving hain, the fenders and running boards, he steering wheel and radiator were tided as were- also the several "fin- i.hing touches" required in the con traction of a Durant motor car. This brought the completed chassis under what is called the . "hatch" through which the Durant built Hayes- Hunt bodies arc lowered but at this point the trip if inspection was halted, insofar as the chassis is concerned and was resumed in the body building plant.. Body Building Plant Of the half-a-million square feet of floor space that comprises the Durant plant, a goodly share is taken up by the body building department which includes the Duco plant and the trim shop. The newspapermen started this part of their trip of inspection at lhe point were the hardwood frames arc fashioned into a four-door sedan, two- door sedan or coupe. This frame-work is put together in what arc known as "jigs" which, in turn, hold the sections together while they are matched and joined. These "jigs” bind the framework while the glue sets and while heavy screws are driven into place by com pressed air screw-drivers. The wooden framework then slowly passes down the body line for its doors, and the meta) work. Hundreds of ham mers kept up a continual din as the workmen sliillfully attached the metal to the frame and gradually automobile bodies came into being. As they were finished, they were sent on to the Duco department where it appeared that unusual care was tak en to sec that each individual body received the utmost attention. Duco Broke Teiting This is a most delicate piece of machinery for all its size. With its aid, the mechanics arc able to adjust the Bcndix Four wheel brakes with absolute accuracy—and then the car was ready for the Final Test depart ment. This is the most critical depart ment for every individual car must pass a most rigid inspection before it has the department'* endorsation and must have thi* approval before it can pas* on to the slopping department.. Each car is taken out of the plant and run for several miles. When the plant is in full production, upwards of 175 cars a day, there is a contiual stream of cars going and returning from a prov ing run. When any defects arc found, the car is turned into another special department that’corrects thte condition and then the car must pass again through the final tc*t before it is mark ed “o.k.” The Durant Motors plant cover* nearly 15 acres of ground and com prises a series of separate buildings each of which is splendidly ventilated, well healed and having walls that are principally windows. The working lines are all on the south side of the build ings so that the work is done in bright daylight, much to the advantage of the product ‘itself and the men engaged in this interesting work.

In the epistle to the Hebrew* the Apostle speaks of'another form of competition which is highly desirable and which works good to all parties Friendly rivalry in the expression of brotherly love and in the doing of kindly deed* is twice blessed, it blesses those who practice it, and those who benefit thereby. There should be no unpleasant consequences in stirring one another up to rivalry in the culti vation of Christian virtues and grace* so long as it is done in a spirit of meek ness. There is an interesting and amusing story told by Sir Wilfred Grenfell of Labrador. He amputated the leg of an Anglican and advertised in a Congregational magazine for a wooden leg for his patient. A Baptist woman, jvhose Methodist husband had died, leaving behind him a wooden leg, read the advertisement and donated the relic of her late husband to the worthy cause. Hence, in the course of time, a Methodist wooden leg, donated by a Baptist, in response to a Congre gational appeal, enabled an Anglican to get to church. This is in line with the thought of our text. HYMN “Try us, O God, and search the ground Of every sinful heart; Whate'er of sin in us is found, O bid it all depart I Help us to build each other up, Our little stock improve; Increase our faith, confirm our hope, And perfect us in love."

Twenty-two mem bers were received by certicate and profession of faith. There are many evidences oi a revival of interest in spiritual things. Our people arc urged to pray earnestly for the conversion of those under conviction of sin. This may sound old-fashioned to some, but it is surely needed today nevertheless. The Young People’s League on Mon day evening met at the usual hour, in charge of the citizenship committee, with Dick Dennis in the chair. The three-minute talk given by Lewis Sin- den on 'Getting a Kick out of Life.'was highly entertaining and much to the point. Community singing was the next item, led by Mr. Hone, and using the lantern slides of popular hymns, which arc part of the collection secured by the League some time ago. The topic of the evening was taken by Mr*. J. H. Rush, her subject being "The Dangers of Slang and Cheap Talk." and prosed to be a perfect gold mine of helpful comment and advice, given in a mosr entertaining and helpful man ner.

It took a good many years to get to gether a combination of pain subduing and swelling reducing agents declared to be the one remedy that almost in stantly penetrates through skin and flesh and starts right in to make swol len, inflamed, creaky, pain racked joints as good as new. They call this new and wonderful preparation “Joint-Ease” because the medical man who turned the trick, worked for years to perfect some low- priced remedy that would really benefit the millions of people who have one or more joints that need helpful attention. So "Joint-Ease" is prepared only for people who have a swollen, painful, creaky, distorted or stiff joint, whether it be in knee, elbow, shoulder, ankle, neck or finger and whether it is caused by rheumatism or something else. Of course, it can't help but quickly put an end to such superficial ailments as lumbago, neuralgia, neuritis, aching muscles, stitch in the side, crick in lhe neck, or sore feet, because of its pene trating action, but what it is really recommended for is joint ailments of any nature whatever. Ask for a tube of "Joint Ease." You can use it several times in one evening for quick results, because it goes right through the skin witl. only a few sec onds rubbing. It surely is a swift penc- trator and when it gets under the skin, it starts right in to clean up al) joint trouble. McDonald's Drug Store dispenses it daily for about 60 cents a tube, as do first class druggist! everywhere. HARRIETSVILLE Mr. and Mr*.

Braeme CHAPTER XIIL The Countess of Bayneham was al ways considered as one of the proudest women in England. Her pnde had hitherto known no fall. This broken engagement of her son's, his anticipat ed alliance with one whose claim to high or noble lineage she was wholly ignorant of, humbled her. Pride was. without doubt, the master passion of her life; but there was another almost as great—that was love for her only son. He was perhaps the only human being that she ever loved with thorough self-sacrificing devotion. True, - she was fond of Barbara; but had Barbara been penniless instead of a wealthy heiress, the countess would never have -planned the marriage for her son. It was early on the morning following that the young earl sought his mother. After a night of sleepless and anxious deliberation he resolved' upon making an appeal to her affection; that, he thought, she could never withstand; and he was right in his conjecture. He appealed to his mother's love, and won from her a most reluctant consent to his marriage, with Lady Hutton's ward. "How nobly Barbara has behaved I" she said, with a deep sigh; "she would have made a fitting mistress of Bayne ham; and I misjudged her so cruelly— I thought she had played you false, Claude." “No one living is or can be more true than Barbara," said Lord Bayneham; "but there is fate in love, mother. What sent me that May morning into Bryn mar woods?" Then, in his own simple truthful way, Claude told Lady Bayneham the whole history of his love; his first meeting The cooL comforting flavor of WRIGLEY’S Spearmint U • lasting pleasure.

Claude, there is one thing— 1 give my consent, with certain condi- ions. Remember Hilda is not Lady Hutton's daughter, she is only her ward. I am saying nothing against her; I suppose her to be a distant rela- ivc of Lady Hutton’s, adopted by her ccause she is childless; but I must nsist ujxxi every particular of her birth and parentage being laid before ns. It is nothing but right; the Bayne- lams, of Bayneham. never married beneath them." "Of course you are,right, mother." Slid the young earl "Lady Hutton will give us any information, I know. I have heard that Hilda was the daughter if her dearest friend, but I shall sec her his morning, and shall ascertain all the articulars for you." “I suppose she will inherit all Lady lotion's fortune," said the countess. “I have never thought about it.” re- died her son, indifferently; "she is •ecrlcss hersdf; but I have no doubt he wilt" "It will not be so bad after .all," said her ladyship, complacently, "if her pedi- rec is all right." Ix»rd Bayneham laughed, and, elated vitb the concession he had won from I is proud mother, went to seek Lady Hutton. There seemed to be a strange calm n the house when he reached it. The -indows were all closed, and the servant V’ho opened the door looked unusually grave and serious. "Can 1 see Lady Hutton?*' asked Claude; " is she engaged?” Her ladyship is seriously ill, my Lord," was the mans reply; ' she was seized with a fit last evening, and has not been conscious since." "Is Miss Hutton with her?" he in quired inexpressibly shocked at the news. "Miss Hutton has never left my lady incc she was taken ill," the man replied. "1 hope to hear better news this eve ning,” said Lord Bayneham as he turn- 1 away. He felt like one in a dream; the sun was shining brightly, the streets were crowded with gayly dressed people; life, tayety. and happiness seemed to thrill through the summer air; yet over the house he had left hung the dark cloud i>f illness, and perhaps approaching death. He went to his club, and there wrote his first love-letter, telling Hilda her sorrow was his, and asking to share it. "Let me sec you this evening," he said, "just to give you some little con solation.” When the letter was gone, Lord Bayneham felt more at ease. To do his mother justice, she was startled and shocked to hear of Lady Hutton's ill ness. "It would be most awkward if any thing happened just now,” she said. “I trust at least she will recover conscious ness “ The day passed slowly, Cluade long ing for the evening, when he could see Hilda and shaare her sorrow. A dark cloud hung over Lady Hut ton’s magnificent house. The servants moved noiselessly and spoke in hushed voices. Grave physicians met and con- mltcd how best to battle with the grim king of terrors. In n luxurious chamber lay the lady so suddenly and awfully stricken.. The summer sun tried to pierce the rich green hangings, and succeeded in throwing a mellow hall-golden light >vvr the room. The velvet curtains, with their deep fringe, were thrown ide; there, pale, serene, and calm, no ngcr conscious of earthly things, lay Lady Hutton. Her pale lips were parted, ind a faint feeble breath passed them. She lay there, and life was ended for Iter, hopes and sorrows all over. It mattered but little now that she had loved and lost, that she had been rich, courted, and flattered, that men had »ent before her and paid homage to her rank and wealth; all that was over. Before the sunset, she would be where rirtue and goodness, not money and position, take the first place and wear lhe golden crown. Only one thing mat tered now. and that was if the life ebbing so rapidly away had been well pent. All night long grave and Icarnejl men ■ad stood by that quiet bedside, fight- i ig, hand to hand, with all conquering death. They were foiled at last; art. science and wisdom had done then* utmost; and all they could do had not ven caused the closed eyes to open, or liven strength to the white lips for one rord. All night had the child she lov- I knelt by Lady Hutton's side, covering her head and face with warm tears, calling her by every endtaring name, weeping and calling all in vain. Lady Hutton was never more to hear the sound of the voice she loved best. "Must she die?" cried the poor girl in the extremity of her terror’; "can nothing be done to save her?" Those she asked turned from her with a Sorrowing face; they knew, when Lady Hutton was gone, the young girl would be alone in the world. Through the tong bright hours that sunny day, while the gay sun shone and lhe distant roil of carriages told of life and gaycty. Hilda knelt by that sick bed; she was half crazed with the sudden sorrow. Last evening hope and love charmed her; only last evening a golden light that came straight, it seem ed from Heaven, had fallen over her. At the very moment her lover left her, and while thinking only of sharing her new found happiness with her adopted mother, she heard a bell ring, then a startled cry,* a rush of servants, and following them she saw Ijdy Hutton lying white and still upon the ground. Doctors were summoned in haste; every resource of science had been tried; but all in vain. Since she had been carried into her room Lady Hut ton had been lost to all earthly things. It was the long watch by that still silent figure that changed Hilda from a child to a woman. “You had better rest," said one of the doctors, moved by her fate, so full Nervous and Miserable Through Constipation "Frmt-a-tives ” Restores Vigorous Health ML D.

"I have never heard of any," she replied. “Lady Hutton always spoke of herself as being with out relatives." "Has she any worldly affairs that require settling?" asked Dr. Wells again. "I do not know," said poor Hilda. "The agent from Brynmar is still here, and the lawyer who manages all mamma's affairs. They would not leave the house while she was so ill" When Dr. Wells repeated his ques tion to Mr. Abebon, the lawyer, tnat gentleman told him Lady Hutton's will had been made sixteen years ago, and he believed all her affairs were in perfect order; so there was nothing left for the lady, who lay so still and white, to do. The doctors agreed that in all probibility she would recover conscious ness just before death; and while the sun poured the full force of its golden beams through half-drawn curtains into the cheering room, they watched for that minute; but hour after hour passed and it did not come. The face could grow no whiter, but the faint, low breath became more feeble. When evening came and Lord Baynchaty called again, he was told that Lady Hut ton was dying, and he never remem bered how he reached home. "Mother." he said to Lady Bayneham "you must come with me. Lady Hutton is dying. Hilda has no one near her, and I must go to comfort her. Do not refuse. I ask you as I would ask you for my life." She did not refuse; there was some thing in her son’s face that compelled her to obey. She went with him at once, and said not a word save to comfort him in his sorrow.• • • • The moment had come; the evening sun had set in all its glory; the beauti ful gloaming, half-golden, half-gray, had begun, when Hilda, bending oyer the white face, saw a faint quivering of the clbscd eyelids and the sealed lips. Then the dark eyes opened with a wistful, wondering look, that pierced the child's heart. "Hilda." whispered Lady Hutton, what is it, my darling? Am I going to die?" "Mamma," cried the trembling girl, "let me go with you." “I must tell you,” said Lady Hutton, "something—let me have more air, 1 cannot breathe. I want to tell you, darling about your own mothter. Per haps I did wrong*— but I loved you so dearly—you arc like my Maud. Can ;io one give me air?" Hilda tried to raise the dying lady, whose words came in short, quick gasps. "I want to tell you, darling," she said —then a sudden glaze fell over the wist ful eyes, an*awful pallor settled on the face, and the half-raised head fell heavily on Hilda's arm. Lady Hutton had gone "whcrc the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest." “Carry that poor child away,” said Dr. Wells, to one of the attendants. Hardly more conscious than the one who lay at rest, Hilda was carried in the nearest room, which happened to be the library, and laid upon the couch. At that moment there was a slight stir in the hall; Lord and Lady Bayneham had arrived. The intelligence of the sud den death had bewildered them. "Where is Miss Hutton?" asked the young earl, "luidy Bayneham has come to take charge of her; let us sec her at once.” The man who had opened the door never dreamed of offering any resist ance. "Miss Hutton has been taken to the library, my Lord," he said. When they entered the darkened room Hilda raised herself from the couch. .“Let me go bhek to her," she was saying to Dr. Wells. “I can not believe it. It is impossible she can be dead." Then the tired, frightened eyes fell upon the face of Lord Bayneham. She moved toward him with a wistful cry. He clasped her in his arms, and laid her head upon his breast. "Hilda, my darling," he whispered, "my wife that is to be. I come to share your sorrow—it is mine also." Lady Bayneham looked on, her eyes full of tears. The delicate, lonely child, so lovely in the abandonment of her grief, touched that world-worn heart. She silently withdrew with the doctor, and left together those whose love death had sanctified. CHAPTER XIV. Lady Bayneham forgot all her own cherished notions of etiquette, and warmly pressed the lonely young girl to return with her to Grosvenor Square; but nothing would induce Hilda to leave the house. She was too young, too inexperienced, to know that time would soften her grief. Mr. Abelson, assisted by Lord Bayne ham. undertook all arrangements for the funeral. Lady Hutton was laid to rest near the bonny woods of Brynmar. where the greater part of her life had been spent. Ixsrd Bayneham was chief mourner, and two distant cousins of Lady Hutton's, looking out for a legacy, were thye also. the reading of the will. Miss Hutton," said the family lawyer, after their re turn to London. Hilda bowed assent. She was very silent in these the first days of her bereavement, and she Secmd hali-rjiv, half-frightened, when with Lady Bayneham. The |>oor wounded child found her greatest comfort with Barbara —noble, unselfish Barbara, who forgot when she carressed the fair head and parted the golden hair from the sad sweet face, that she was in the presence of her rival, the one who had stolen from her her love. She saw a grieving, sorrowing, lonely girl in place of the brilliant young beauty who had won Claude's heart, and Hilda clung to her as she would have done to a sister of her own. Miss Earle spent the time that inter vened between Ijdy Hutton's death and funeral with Hilda. She did not leave her night or day; and Claude, who after that one interview did not like to ask for another, found his only comfort in hearing from Barbara the loving little messages sent by his fair-haired wife that was to be. The will was but a short one. The two cousins were not forgotten, a hand some legacy repaid them for all their affectionate solicitude over the poor lady's health. Every old servant was remembered, and the beautiful estate of Brynmar, the house in London, money in the funds, carriages, horses, jewels, and plate, were all bequeather by Lady Hutton to her adopted daughter. Hilda, who thereby became one of the richest heiresses in England. It was all her own, to do what she would with, without any stipulations os. conditions; but Lady Hutton hoped she would never part with Brynmar. There was no mention of her adoption or of her parentage, not a word that gave any clew to it whatever. “l_raust congratulate you. Miss Hut ton." said the lawyer, wheiuthc will was read. "I wish, though." interrupted Hilda, with tears in her eyes, "that there had been one wbrd of my mother." Two guardians were appointed to take charge of the young heiress. They were Mr. Abelson and Dr. Greyling. who had been Lady Hutton's confiden tial friends for many years. Until she -as twenty-one a certain income was to be allowed her. and Brynmar was to be her home, unless she married before then, in which case she would imme diately come into full possesion of her property. For several days the lonely young heiress remained in the large solitary house, seeing no one but Barbara, and occasionally Lady Bayneham. She could not sec Claude yet; she knew his presence would bring with it such a rush of happiness, it seemed almost a scri- legc to think of it. She resolved to return to Brynmar. By Mr. Abelson's advice and assistance an elderly lady was found, who, in consideration of a handsome yearly income, consented to live as duenna and chaperon with Miss Hutton; the two guardians having de cided that she was far too young and pretty to live alone. "I fancy our responsibility will soon end," said Dr. Greyling. with a quiet smile. “Lord Bayneham will be very happy, I think, to relieve us of it." It was nearly the end of June when Hilda and Mrs. Braye returned to Bryn mar, Barbara having given her promise to meet Hilda when the London sea son was quite over. When she returned to her early home Hilda resolved to search amongst Lady Hutton's letters and papers, to see if it were possible to find any clew to her adoption and parentage. In the grand library at Brynmar stood a large oaken bureau, where the poor lady had been wont to keep all letters and paper*. There Hida search ed; there she found letters worn and yellow with age, love-letters, written by the gay, dashing Lord Hutton to lhe quiet, dignified Miss Erskine; but neither there or anywhere else could she find any mention of herself. She questioned the older servants who had lived tong with Lady Hutton, but they could tell her nothing. One of them spoke of a beautiful woman who had irought Hilda to Brynmar—a nurse, they supposed. The story of Magdalen Hurst was a sealed book to them. In despair Hilda gave up all hope of ever knowing anything of a secret so well kept, so she tried to forget it. Neither lhe doctor nor the lawyer could en lighten her. for Lady Hutton had not taken them into their confidence. "Make yourself quite happy," wrote Mr. Abelson; “Lady Hutton was a just woman.- Most probably you are a distant relative of her own. Few people will ever remember you were not her child, specially as she treated you as such. Respect the secret of the dead as she respected it living." After that Hilda was content to leave the mystery a secret still, and as weeks passed on she recovered from the great fad sudden shock; but while she lived Hilda never ceased to mourn the kind ind stately lady who loved her so welL In the quiet and silence of Brynmar her Health and spirits returned. Something of the old beautiful bloom was on hrr ’ace when, six'week* afterward. Bar bara came, saying in spite of all re monstrances Claude would come too— not to remain, but only for a few hours, ust to sec how hi* newly won treasure Hilda went with him to the shady jreen glade in the woods where he irst saw her; and there, with tears shining in her eyes, she told him Lady lutton's dying words, and how imposs- blc she had found it to discover who her parents were. He loved her too deeply to care; and he kissed the tears rom her face, and told her never to hink of it again. She was Hilda Hutton o all the world, and would soon be Hilda. Lady Bayneham. He made her promise that when the spring blossoms came she would be his wife. As the time drew near Lady Baync- 1am made some faint remonstrance, but t was soon withdrawn, because she saw he whole happiness of her son's life was involved. Unless he married Hilda he would never marry at all. Outwardly »hc was amiably indifferent, but in her heart there was something resembling dislika for lhe beautiful young girl, who had unconsciously thwarted the plan and wish of her life and heart. Spring came with its blossoms and •adding leaves. The wedding was to akc place in the pretty country church at Brynmar, and a gay party of guest* assembled there. Bertie Carlyon had gladly accepted hi* old friend's invita- ioo to officiate as best man, for he was longing to see Barbara again. Diffi dence or delicacy—he hardly knew which— bad prevented him from call ing sinee he knew she was free. The flowers Hilda loved were bloom- tng on her wedding day when the wordi were spoken that made her Claude Bayncham's wife, and no one wished Her joy more truly or ipore kindly than Barbara Earle. Lord Bayneham t\>dk his young wife to Switzerland. Ho wanted to show *• — ■ ■■■-«, nlSM In world all at once. Barbara told him. laughingly, he must be content with one. and Hilda had chosen Switzerland. Barbara's words were gayest when the hour of parting came. Barbara's was the last that smiled as the carriage, containing perhaps the two happiest people in the world, drove away. Bertie Carlyon stood by Barbara's side, watching with love's keen eyes every change in that noble face. He saw no trace of sorrow there. Barbara did not keep her woes for the world’s amusement. She was calm. kind, and serene, thought al for Claude, for Hilda, and for Lady Bayneham. It would have required tnorc shrewdness than Bertie possessed to discover any sign of an aching heart in those calm dear eyes and smiling lips. “1 think they will be happy," he said, as the caYriage disappeared. "Some mortals have an enviable tot. I shoulld imagine that Claude has not one cloud in his sky. I, on the contrary, have no sunshine." "You!" cried Barbara, turning to him quickly: "why ever since I can remem ber anything at all, I have* heard my cousin cite you as the happiest man he knew." "I make no complaint." said Bertie. "I have enjoyed my life hitherto as the birds and flowers enjoy theirs, with out thought or care. I never woke to realities until I became sure of obtain ing a certain treasure. Looking within myself, I found I was unworthy of it. He who would win must fight." "Why can not you fight?" said Bar bara, interested, in spite of her own secret sorrow. "You are too diffident.

I should value your friendship more than the tore of all the world put to gether." Bertie was most sublimely unconsc ious'that hi* words were a declaration of love in themselves; and Barbara smiled as she looked at hi* handioinc, eager face. "I will be your friend." she said, "if. as you think. I can be useful to you." "The mouse once helped the lion," said Bertie; "and it is just possible the irnc may come when Bertie Carlyon. he poor younger son of a not over rich baronet, may be of some assistance o Miss Earle.

"Chivalry is not dead." said Miss Earle; “it will live as tong as English men last; there is more hidden under the half-indifferent, half-nonchalant manner of the men of the present gen eration. than many people would believe." "When shall you leave Brynmar?" •*ked Bertie, suddenly. "Lady Bayneham spoke of returning to-morrow," replied Barbara. “We hall have much to arrange before the eturn of our bride and bridegroom." "May I call upon you sometimes?" said Bertie, humbly. "Certaiinly replied Miss Earle "Call when you will; have 1 not promised to be your friend?"With those words ringing in his ears, Bertie Carlyon returned to London.
