A special meeting of the town coun
cil was held on Monday evening for
the purpo»e of fixing the rate of
taxation for 1928. and other bn»ines*.
All the member* were present. Mayor
R. E Weston in the chair.
St. Johns Church asked permission
to hold their annual garden party on
Washington Grand Avenue park on
the 26th of June, and to close the
street to traffic while the programme
is being given.—Granted.
Deputy-Reeve Eyre reported that
the street* and bridge* committee had
rn?t and specified certain streets to be
surface-treated with tarvia. He ex
pressed the opinion that it was not
good policy to allote any of the mac
adam street* to go for two year*
without receiving treatment, as they
were very liable to deteriorate if
neglected for that length of time. The
advice of experts was to give mac
adam street* surface treatment every
year.
Mayor Weston wa* also strongly in
favor of annual surface treatment foe
all the streets, and felt that this was
a question that should be dealt with
by the full council rather than to
leave it to the committee alone.
Some streets that were neglected
last year, he pointed out. were show
ing signs of wear thi* year.
Coun. Davi* disagreed with the
former speaker*. He maintained that
it was'not necessary to apply tarvia
every year to street* where the traffic
wa* not heavy, in which case he look
ed upon it as a waste of money.

Mrs. Robert Stickney. When round
ing a curve of the 11th conce*»ion of
Dcrcham about tour mile* cast of
Tillsonburg. Mr*. Mason, becoming |
confused at the approach of a heavy]
truck, was unable to avoid it. and ;
a terrific collision occurred The un
fortunate woman received a very se
vere scalp wound, the glass windshield
caught hec_*bout an inch above the
eyebrows, laying the scalp Back as far
as the ear*, which were uninjured. She
also suffered a fracture of the left
wrist, and severe cuts on her left leg.
Undoubtedly the fact that the wind
shield was the new compressed mica
variety prevented fatal injuries.
Medical aid was summoned and the
injured woman was brought to the
Soldier*' Memorial Hospital where her
injuries were attended to. The little
lad received only .a lew minor
scratches.Mr. Ma*on arrived from
alto Mr. and Mr*. Stickney, all
whom were much upset over the un
fortunate accident. The car wa* badly
damaged, but the driver ol the truck
and his machine were uninjured.
There are now only two appoint
ments for the Baptist minister at
Courtland to take charge of since the change that took place a short time
ago. these being Courtland and Straf-

and Eden as it was before. Robert

not entirely a "desk and chair" dairy

The first was the fact that the wind

factor was that the disaster happened
on Sunday, when men were not toiling

owned and operated the first cligesc
factory in Canada, so it is claimed,
this was erected at Norwich in 1864.
Forty tons of cheese were made in it
that first year.
The senior Harvey Farrington was
evidently a far-sighted Tnan and could
see the dairy possibilities of the dis
trict, even before they had begun to
take on real shape and form such
as has since been demonstrated. The
erection of this factory at that time
was considered a bold and venture
some stroke.
There has been considerable’talk for
years back of the mammoth cheese
that went out from Oxford. The older
dairymen recall that there were two
large cheese, but in a general way they
arc confused one with the other, and
many believe that there was just the
one. The first cheese, concerning
which Byron Jcnvey is at present
collecting all data of interest, was
made in wTiat was then known as the

that he knew no place in the universe
which indicated the same zeal, the
same progressive methods and the
same general advancement in dairy
ing and breeding nutters as Oxford.
The type of the herds, the numbers
of them, the general distribution of
them and the outstanding cattle seen
in them in every section of the
country were features that stood out
plainly in his mind’s eye. Mr. Farrington contends that the future looks
even brighter for Oxford, as he sees
in the young stock the result of care
ful selectivity and the use of good,
sound judgment.
Mr. Farrington left Oxford some 26
years ago. For five years prior to
that time he was employed by the G
W. Riley Cheese Company, of Inger
soll, as their special representative in
the Norwich district.
Mr. Farrington explained that his
father, the late Irving Farrington,
conducted factories in Oxford until
the year 1901, at which time, under

V^alci-ing Milk
Farrington recalls that

......... offences of watering milk came
into being. And in this connection the
visitor told an interesting fact which
will doubtless be recalled by many of
the olded dairymen and farmers of
Western Ontario.
’’There was no such thing a* a
settlement out of court in those day*
on tliat charge,” said Mr. Farrington.
“Many farmers, accused of or caught
watering their milk, would have given
a great deal to settle the —
quietly and without display. They
feared the condemnation of

neighbors. It so happend that at this
|*articularera there was considerable
watering of milk. But no settlement
could be made. The alleged offender
must stand his trial before the nearest
justice of the peace. But in addition to that, when a man was found to
have watered his milk, hi* name was
posted conspicuously on the ountsidc
front of the cheese factory in his sec
tion. There it stood for all to see and
read. It i* worthy of note that this
particular form of publicity
stamped out the practice. It

at the front in the next war will be the father, Harvey Farrington} at the
meeting at which it was decided to
make this big cheese. That was in
1865.
But in I8">5 a cheese weighing 7,(100
pound* was made in what was then
known a, the Galloway factory, on the
second concession of West Oxford.
The exact weight of the first big
cheese is still in doubht, but Mr. Jcn-
vey will lay hands on information re
garding that within a short time, it is
cx|ieetid. The second cheese, of
1893. wa* sent to the world’s fair at
Chicago. Mr. Jcnvey remembers two
gray teams of horses drawing it to the
depot on a logging truck. It was plac
ed on a flat car. After the world’s
fair at Chicago, it was sent to St.
Louis for a while, and wa* later sent
to France, where it was cut upland re
tailed in the ordinary way and found
to be of fine quality in every way.
That was al»o great advertising for Oxford.
it is of interest to note that Irving
Farrington, father of the subject of
this article, helped to make the second
big cheese. It was also Irving Farring
ton who selected all the other cheese
that went froqi Canatia to that great
world cxi>osition at Chicago in 1893, all
of which swept the boards in every
department because of its quality in
every way. The late Alex. McLaren
was the Canadian judge at that fair.
Praises Oxford Cattle
The Harvey Farrington of to-day,
outstanding son of an outstanding
fahcr and grandson of a pioneering
grandfather, is greatly impressed with
what he has seen on this visit to Ox
ford County. He is particularly im
pressed with the Holstein herd*
which Mr Jcnvey has shown him. He
stated to the writer that he had been
in all the prominent dairy states oi
the Union to the south, and in no
place diil he see a spot that could
compare with the progress that is being
made in Oxford with regard to general

Capital Flowing In

Capital is flowing into Canada at a
rate surpassing it* drift into any other
country. In its wake will conn- popula

Canada of today, wonderful as it seems

of the inflowing capital will be largely
in the hand* of private corporations.
How important it is that these be not
permitted to abuse any of their powers,
or disregard any of their obligations in
relation to Canada’s increased millions
of people! We must keep the right*

• Brock Street —
The fortieth annual convention of
the Oxford County W.GT.U. was held
in the United church at Salford, with
the county president, Mrs. W. T. Rob
ertson of Tillsonburg presiding over
the sessions, which were well attended
by delegates from the various unions.
The convention opened with a devo
tional exercise conducted by Mrs. Ellis
Fick, of Tillsonburg. The standing of
the fi»e unions for the year 1927-28
showed Tillsonburg to be fourth, with
31 members, one honorary member,
and a total amount raised of $4936.
The election of officers resulted in
Mrs. D. H. Buchner of Tillsonburg be
ing named honorary president; Mrs.
W. T. Robertson of Tillsonburg, nres-
ident; Mr*. Joel Bate of Tillsonburg,
superintendent of temperance in Sun
day school; Mrs. Ellis Fick of Tilison-
hurg. superintendent of pres* and tid
ings- An invitation to Tillsonburg for
the 1929 convention was received and
accepted. Rev. A. W. Hone of Till
sonburg gave an address during the
convention, on the topic “Temper
ance,” making each letter stand for one
important phase of the temperance
workers' problem.
Mr. Hone concluded his splendid
address with the touching story of
William Carey’s fight against the prac
tice Of “suttee" or burning of widows in
India, and made an impassioned plea to
every Christian citizen to enlist in the
great struggle and not to rest or relax
their efforts until this blight has been
removed from our national life.
. Mr*. Robertson’s annual message was built around the three words
"Think. Talk. Teach.” She said in par
that it was one’s first duty to study out
for oneself this whole matter of pro
hibition and the liquor traffic: "to
shoulder our individual responsibility
therewith and to make ourselves thor
oughly conversant with fact* and still
more fact*, dealing with every phase of
the subject." When this had been ab
sorbed one should go out and tell it to
others. In conclusion she propounded
searching questions as to the manner
in which the members were measuring
up to the duties and
placed upon them.
The main speaker of the afternoon
session wa* one of the
secretaries, Mrs. T. T. „
George’* work take* her into the public
and high schools of the province, and
in the course of the year she come* in
contact with score* of teacher* and
thousands of pupils. "Today." *he
said, “world peace and world prohibi
tion are the paramount questions which
arc engaging the attention of the
world's highest tribunal, the League of
nations.” She then gave a very com
prehensive review of recent temper
ance work throughout the whole world
This was followed with a more detail
ed account of the movement in the
province, especially the work being
done through the school*. This splen
did address was followed by a confer
ence over which Mrs. George presided
and answered the various questions
presented.A solo by Mrs. Fred. Hooper,
"Other*."'was very much enjoyed at
this point of the program.
The county banner, which is held by
the union showing the largest increase
in membership wa* awarded to
Brownsville and presented by Mrs.
George to Mrs. Brown, the president
of that union. .The county life membcrihip pin.
which is an annual gift to some mem
ber of the entertaining union, was this
year presented to Mrs. John Warren
of Salford, the only remaining charter member of the Salford W.C.T.U.
A very intercstiug feature of the
evening program was the elocutionary
contest w.hen six boys and girls com
peted for the medal given by the Sal
ford union. While the entries were all
of merit, the judges. Rev. Mr. Ball of
Beachville. Rev. Mr. Goodrich of
Verschoylc and Mr. Millington of In
gersoll. awarded the medal to Miss
Doris Osborne for her recitation of the
selection "Guilty or Not Guilty.’’
Dainty Maple Leaf pins of silver and
enamel were given the other contest
ants. I_ater in the evening a second
contest was held, when the winner con
tested for the silver medal donated by
the county, with five other*. These
latter had won the bronze toedal in
previous contest* in their local union
at Brownsville, and the silver medal
was carried home this year by Miss
Mary Kerr.
Prizes of two dollars were also given
, to Miss Marion Roberts for an essay and to Miss Marjorie Roberts for a
poster (which were forwarded for pro
vincial competition). These will be
awarded annually in future.A solo by Mr*. Barnhardtof Browns
ville. which wa* much enjoyed, con
cluded the evening’s program. Mrs. L
McRoberts brought in the report of the
courtesy committee, in which the
hearty thank* of the convention was
tendered to all who had in any way

a loss of 741 for the year. Six churchc*
which did not report would account for
437 by their last year’s figures. These
figures, the secretary. Rev. G H. Seof-

sults in the treatment of scarlet fever
as have been secured in the treatment
of diphtheria with diphtheria antitoxin.
Scarlet fever is caused by a certain
disease germ which give* off a poison
or toxin. It is thi* toxin which, in
some case*, kills, and which in all case*
doe* more or les* damage to the vari
ous organs of the body.The scarlet fever antitoxin counteract* the toxin. Given early and in suf-
( ficient quantity it not only cure* but
prevents the damage which may *u
nrioui.Those who arc responsible for the
care of children should appreciate that,
the life of the child, when attacked by
sickness, may depend upon prompt
treatment. Certainly, in two disease*,
scarlet fever and diphtheria, every
hour’s delay endanger* the life of the
child.
In Canada there were 362 deaths
from scarlet fever during 1926 This
loss of human life is. of course, serious.
In addition, there is a much larger
number who rccovert'd, some of whom
are more or les* permanently dam
aged. v
Scarlet fever anlitoxin, like diphthc-
- ria antitoxin, should be made freely
and readily available throughout Can

Scientifically Designed
Balloon Tire Tread
The Firestone tread was not designed with large,
massive projections for appearance or to make plausible
•ales argument On the contrary, the projections of the
cross-and-square tread are small and the rider strips nar
row, permitting the tread to yield to irregularities and
cling to the road, giving the greatest non-skid surface.
By means of the exclusive Firestone Gum-Dipping
Cess every fibre of every cord is saturated and insu-
I with rubber, to withstand the extra flexing of the

MEDITATION
feet.
Acts 16:16: “A* we went to prayer"
The apostles were constantly going to
prayer, and in this fact law the secret
of their power. The power of Pente
cost came into the place of prayer, and
thereafter when the apostles felt their
need of strength they hastened to
pray. Lydia and her household were
the fruit* of tarrying by the river side
where prayer was wont to be be made.
The healing of the damsel who wa*
gripped by an evil spirit came by the
power received through prayer. Flung
into prison and fastened in the stocks,
Paul and Sias, lifted their voices in
prayer and praise, and there came
comfort and deliverance, followed by
the conversation of the keeper of the
prison with all his house. These
apostles became mighty instrument* in
the salvation of men through the
power of prayer. Something always
happened when the apostles prayed.
Most of us need more familiarity with
the place of prayer, not only for our
own sakes, but for the sake of others.
We are spiritually weak and anaemic
for lack of conact with the source
of strength. May we resolve to be
more faithful in going to prayer.

Offices Raided, Fraud Alleged
Toronto, June 8th.—A* a result of
compHihts received by the attorney-
general's department provincial and
city police to-day raided the office of
the Drake-Wat son-Springer Associa
tion in a downtown building. William
Baker, president, wa* arrested and
charged with theft of $10000 from the
•heirs." Eight other* were held a*
material witnesses and these were re
leased on bail in modest amounts.
Books and record* were seized..
The association wa* formed with a
view to obtain settlement of certain
estate* averaging ISO year* in age and
said to be worth million*. In addition
to those mentioned in the name of
the organization there arc the inter
national Page, International Fisher,
the California Ruttan and Webber-
Bogardis-Edward* estate*. Members
were charged an initiation fee of $30
and a membership fee of $1.00 a
month a* long a* accessary to defray
expenses of investigation and settle
ment.
Probable TroubU
It is apparently in connection with
collection and disposition of fees that
the association ha* fallen foul of the
law.
Inspector Hammond and Gurnett, of
the criminal investigation department
of the provincial police, were assisted
in their activitic* by member* of the
city force. and Attorney-General
Price, although reticent a* to some
phases of the affair, spoke appreci
ably of the co-operation given by Gen.
Draper, chief of Toronto police. The
chief placed some ten men at the dis
posal of the department and was on
the job personally. Search warrants
were issued and one hotel and several
apartment* visited. In other cate* sub-
poenas were issued for witne.es with
a view to obtaining information as the
investigation goes on.
.It is the first case under the Securi
ty* Fraud Prevention Act. only a few
weeks in operation, and by the powers
contained in that legislation holding
orders have been sent to the banks so
as to tie up fund* ot the association.
Surprise and Shower
During the last week there have been
three game* played in the Tillsonburg
softball league. On Thursday night the
C.M.P. lost to the Nine Regulars 27 to
9. Tuesday night the Durant Motors
defeated the Nine Regular* 9 to 0. and

Investment* in Research
Sound Foundation*
(Excerpt* ol Addrc** to Toronto Lion*
Club. Friday. June 15th, by George L.
Moore, Sherman research engineer,
author of "Business Trends in Can
ada.")
Toronto. Jone 15—Dollars invested
in research today will bring the highest
return* tomorrow to Canadian business
and industry of any investments that
can be made, declared George L
Moore, assistant to the president of
The Sherman Engineering Corporation
of Toronto. New York, Chicago and
Boston, in an address to the Toronto
Lions Club.
Such development* a* the Ontario
Research program, headed by Sir
Joseph Flavelle. whereby the Province
appropriates a millio dollars for re
search. provisional upon a million dol
lars being subscribed by industry, are
a far more significant augury of future
Dominion prosperity than is commonly
realized in the judgment of Mr. Moore.
Further appropriation* of like nature
and thorough co-ordination of research
facilities throughout Canada in the in
terests of sound industrial development
were suggested by Mr. Moore a* call
ing for the serious immediate atten
tion and consideration of the business public.
"Research in Canadian universities

in Canada, and American manufactur
ers will tell you that men trained in Can
adian university laboratories are valu
able in their business. Research brain
power, when turned in greater measure
upon problems of business and industry
in the Dominion, will be good business
for you also.” said Mr. Moore, who
suggested that Canada wa* not the
gainer when its brain power wa* ex
ported to other countries.
"Research today is not something
occult. It is not something for the high
priest* of science alone. It is the womb
in which great new industries are born.
It is systematic, organized investiga
tion. leading to procedure based on
facts instead of hunch. It is the means
whereby more people are pul to work
at higher wage*. The old-time indus
trial policy of cutting costs by cutting
wages ha* proven itself as unsound as
would be a medical policy of trying to
cure a rick man by starvation. The
inventor, the creator of new thing*, is
the one who nuke* two or three blade*
of grass grow, industrially, where only
one grew before. Research js the
surest way for Canada to build indus-
tn- that will attract the population so
vitally needed. Research play* no
favorites.
“Three of the greatest industries—
the electric light industry, the tele
phone, and the automobile—owe to
Research a great** degree of their
prosperity than the average man ap
preciate*. An engineer has calculated
that if the average business could get
only l/300th* of the result* from Re
search that have come to the electric light industry, its profits could bc in
creased 10 per cent.
"Research is not only a means for
safeguarding profit*; it is the means
whereby the public is served by better
commodities at lower prices. Today
policies or practices economically sub
versive of public interest wither in the
fierce heat of competition. Research
provides the manufacturer with new
product* with which to regain slipping
markets: shows better, cheaper way*
of doing things. Research into dis
tribution cuts the high costs of selling,
which are a major problem in business
todav.
“Research offers no choice—you
cither must take hold of it, apd use it
to the fullest possible extent in order
to survive, or ignore it and perish."
Cultivation of Tobacco
(Experimental Farm Note)
pie proper time to cultivate, the ma
chinery to use, and the depth of culti
vation are very important in producing
a profitable tobacco crop. The soil
should be well broken, disked, and
harrowed, and worked to a good con
dition before planting the crop. The
cultivation may begin about 7 days
after transplanting, while the depth of
cultivation will vary somewhat with
the condition* of the soil and season.
In general, the cultivation should be
from 4 to 2 inches deep and the ground
kept fairly level.
The object* of cultivation are to con
serve moisture by keeping a mulch on
the surface of the soil and to hold
weed* in check. Thereftne. tobacco
should be cultivated at regular inter
vals of from 6 to 8 days, and as soon a*
the soil is sufficiently dry following
each rain. When the cultivations are
frequent and thorough, weed-growth is
practically controlled. Weeds should
be held in check and not allowed to
grow in the tobacco field, as they will
crowd the tobacco plants and use plant
food and moisture needed by the to
bacco plant*. The two-horse riding
cultivator with hoeing attachment i*
generally used in Ontario.
Hand-hoeing ol tobacco is rather an
expensive operation and can be reduc
ed considerably by the timely and
thorough use of the cultivator. How
ever. hand-hoeing is used to good ad
vantage and is most necessary at the time of the first cultivation in starting
the growth of the young plants by
loosening the soil and removing all
weeds and grass front around the
plants. Care must be taken not to
loosen the newly-established root* or
they will die or bc checked in growth.
It is also important to avoid breaking
and injuring the plants when cultivat
ing. The last cultivating should be
shallow, using the walking cultivator
or scuffler; and cultivation should end
when the leaves have spread so wide
as to obstruct the space between the
rows and prevent the passage of the
horse and cultivator without damaging
the plant* and leave*.
Fhe Markets
Control of Cutworms
The well-known cutworms, which
attack all kinds of young garden
plant* by cutting them off near the
surface of the ground, or by feeding
on the leaves, can be readily controll
ed by applying the following (wisoned
bait: Bran, 20 pounds; Pari* green.
H pound; molasses, I quart; water, 2 or 2% gallons.
Mix the dry bran and poison in a

Joint-Ease: They call this wonder
working substance, for the reason that
when ordinary remedies fail to limber
up the stiff, inflamed rheumatic joint,
or reduce the swelling, Joint-Ease
succeeds.
It is a good name for a good, clean,
stainless prescription that in just a few
months has proven to a multitude of
people that lame, swollen, distorted
joints can speedily have the kinks taken
out of them and work as smoothly* as
ever.
But Joint-Ease is for bothersome
joints, whether in knee, ankle, hip,
shoulder, spine or finger, and for that
purpose its sale is immense.
McDonald's Drug Store has a big
supply of it and druggists everywhere
report a big demand.

Ward
By Charlotte M. Braeme
CHAPTER XXXIII
Lady Grahame had grown tired of
coquetry, and every interview that she
had with Mr. Fulton increased her
liking and admiration forx him. He
had given a ball at his house under
the management of Mrs. Henderson.
It had been a complete success. The
sumptuous rooms were all thrown
open, gold and silver plates blazed
upon the table, and on every side there
were profuse indications of wealth.
Lady Grahame noted with a keen
the display of magnificence,
house was furnished with taste
elegance, but such splendor as
saw here was not within her means.
It would be very pleasant to preside
as mistress in such an establishment.
The next time Paul Fulton called on
the fair widow he was more warmly
welcomed than usual; nor was he slow
to understand the reason why. and he continued that morning, despite his
bland, smiling face, to assume a most
miserable expression.
“Do you not think, Lady Grahame,"
he said, “that you have tortured me
quite long enough? You smile on
every one. When will you smile upon
me?’’
“I am smiling now, Mr. Fulton," re
plied the widow, coqucttishly: "ajk
Miss Lowe if I am ever seen without
smiles."
"You know what I mean, Lady
Grahame." he continued. "When will
you say to me that my devotion and
sincere love have touched you. and
the prize I have hoped for so long is
mine at last?"
Lady Grahame did not turn away
this time; she had made up'her mind
to hear all her lover had to say.
“I will do my best to make you
happy," continued Mr. Fulton, read
ing correctly the coy expression of the
comely face. “I am wealthy, and able
to gratify all your wishes. Tell me. Lady
Grahame, arc you willing tp be my
wife?”
The fair widow managed a most
becoming blush as she implied, rather
than said, she had no reason for deferring her consent. Mr. Fulton
expressed a due amount of rapture
and delight, and then began to plead
for a speedy marriage.
css of Bayncham, all would have been
clear sailing; as it was, the anxious
lover fired hi* heaviest guns first. He
declared the object of his .visit, the
deep admiration he felt for Lady Gra
hame. and the munificent settlements
he offered her, and Lord Hereby list
ened to him with well-bred indiffer
ence.
"Lady Grahame is of an age to
iudge for herself what promises best
for her own happiness," he said. "She
was young when Sir Wilton died;
that is why he left us at hrt guardians,
charging us, in the event oi her
second marriage, to act for her, and
attend to her interest. Your offer of
settlement is, I feel bound to say. a
munificent one, and so far everything
seems satisfactory* but my niece bc-
ongs, as perhaps you know.

said Lady Grahame. "My late hus
band. Sir Wilton, forsaw that I should
probably marry, and expressed no
wish to the contrary. But by his will,
I must inform you, that I (as well as
he money left me) remain under the
care of two trustees. One is my
uncle. Lord Hereby; the other a dis-
ant cousin, Mr. Beauchamp. All ar
rangement* a* to settlements must be
made with them, and it is in their
power to refu*e consent. I am quite
n their hands.”
“There is no reason to fear any rc-
usal or unpleasantness from them, I
presume," said Mr. Fulton proudly. “1
trill make them offers of settlement
hat will meet with their approbation."
“Their consent or refusal is not
eally a matter of great moment,”
aid Lady Grahame. “K.for any reas-
n they refuse, the worst they can do
s to limit my income, and control, in
omc degree, my money; but I do not
nticipatc anything of the kind. My
Wide, Lord Hereby, is very proud,
de would, I think, be pleased at my
narriage—provided the pedigree and
ortunc of my husband met with approval, as they would do in thi* case,"
he added, with a smile.
At the word "pedigree,” a sudden car chilled the bright hopes and fan
cies of Mr. Fulton. What if these
ircsome old guardians of
should ask unpleasant questions about
his family?—what, was he to say? It
would be easy to invent, but these iu~ words. I shall make no opposition to
trustees
of your own."
Then Paul Fulton stood at last be
fore the barrier of hi* own erection,
and knew not what to say.
"You do not doubt my claim to
title of gentleman, I presume?”
said, hastily.
“I neither doubht
plied Lord Hereby, with haughty
difference. “In the interests of
niece, I merely ask for some particu
lars of your family."
Again Paul Fulton stopped, hasitat-
ing what to say.
"I know of no particular*, my lord,
that could possibly interest you," he
said; "my father wa/ simply a quiet
country gentleman, of ho great for
tune or standing. I wa* his only child,
and went abroad in early youth to
seek my fortune; I made it. and there my story ends."
"You have never been married be
fore?" said Lord Hereby; "at least
I presume so”
“No, never,
reply.
"Have you no relation* living?"
continued Lord Hereby, his quick eye
•cading the confusion visible on the
handsome, bland face before him.
"None," said Paul Fulton. "1 am
quite alone in the world."
“We need not prolong this interview," said Lord Hereby. “**-

they might fail, and the lies they con

He could only hope and trust that
satisfied with his vast wealth and lib

would ask no tiresome questions.
He proclaimed his triumph loudly;
he managed to inform every friend he
had that he hoped soon to marry the
fashionable and highly connected
Lady Graham. My some means or
other the report spread everywhere,
and Mr. Fulton soon found that he
had calculated rightly. Invitations
poured in upon him; people who had
never before deigned to notice him
offered him every civility now that
he was to marry one of - the most
popular, of fashionable ladies. Some

passed by him with a
recognition now stopped to shake him
by the hand, and he said to himself,
over and over again, what a wise and
clever thing he had done!
Then one morning he started for
a private interview with the formid
able trustees. Mr. Beauchamp, a
nervous man, afraid of everything and
everybody, said but little, he asked Mr.
Fulton if he liked shooting, and if he
had known Sir Wilton Grahame, two
rather singular questions, considering
the errand upon which he had come.
Lord Hereby was altogether of
another cast. He was, perhaps, one of
the proudest and haughtiest men liv
ing. Loving and admiring his own
order, disliking and despising all those
who did not belong to it, in his eyes
nothing was worthy of honor or
esteem save high birth and noble
blood. Genius, talents, bravery were
all nothing when compared to the
glory of a long pedigree; wealth,
money had little attraction for him.
He was anxious to see his niece, Lady
Grahame, married , provided
espoused a man of good birth and
ample fortune.
When Mr. Fulton stood before
two guardians of his promised bride,
he dismissed one from his mind, and
gathered all his resources (pr a com
bat with the other. He approached
l-prd Hereby with that mixture of
deference and admiration that he
knew so well how to assume. Again
he almost cursed the "accidents” of
his life. If he could have appeared
before Lord Hereby as the father
of one of the most beautiful and noble
women in England, the young Count-

my niece's marriage with you; she can

but I do not consider the son of a

great fortune or standing, by any
means a desirable match for my niece;
still, if she persists in wishing it. 1
shall qjakc no opposition—she must
not in that case, look for my counten
ance. 1 shall decline any further in
terest in her affairs."
Paul Fulton trembled with indig
nation. He had to remember that the
nobleman before him was old and
feeble, so great was his impulse to
strike him. He had expected a very
different reception, armed with those
magical settlements. This cool aris-
toratic hauteur dismayed him. What
was his money worth, after all? He
dared not trust himself to speak; he
left Lord Hercby's prescribe, chafing
.nd foaming with rage. He blamed
limself that he had hot told a diffcr-
nt story. Now, more than ever, was
he at a loss. If his engagment should
be broken off, and the world know-
why, he might bid farewell to all his
hopes. Again, if he married and Lord
Hereby resolutely set his face against
him on account of his inferior grade,
what might not be discovered? He
was wounded, vexed and annoyed.
As he mounted his horse there came
to him the memory of a sweet young
face, with trusting eyes—the memory
of one who had loved him and believ
ed him a king amongst men. He had
not been scoffed and sneered at when
he went wooing in Brynmar woods.
These thoughts did not calm him;
he urged his horse on at full speed,
using spur and whip. The mcttlfsomc
steed did not approve of such harsh
measures. Many people turned to see
who it was that rode so Wildly with an
angry face. One or two policemen
began to be quite active; there wa*
glory to be won, and cheaply too.
The rider, whoever he was, mu*t be
stopped and punished for endanger
ing the safety of the public.
No one ever knew how it happened,
but while the policemen consulted, and
angry foot-passenger* turned to look
after the foaming steed and its rider,
in one moment the horse shied, then
reared, and Paul Fulton was dashed to
the ground. For several yards he was
dragged along by the frightened, half-
maddened animal; then arose from all
lookers-on a terrible cry, and one or two
brave men started off, and after some
dangerous efforts succeeded in stop-
ping the horse and rescuing his hap
less rider. They thought he was dead
when he was raised from the ground,
for on the white face there was a
deep, crimson stain, and a wide, gap
ing wound on his head—he had fallen
on the curbstone.
In less than three mintucs a large
crowd had assembled "A man kill
ed!" "Fallen from his horse!" were
the passwords. A doctor came up,
and a policeman searched the un
conscious man to discover who he was
and where he lived. He found a card
case. and gave it to the doctor.
"He had better be taken to his own
house." said the latter, when he saw
it. "I have heard of him, and know
where he lives."
They carried him back to the house
he had left that morning so full of life
and hope; so full of ambitious de
signs and plans for his future life;
strange hands carried him up the
broad staircase, and laid him upon
his bed; strange hands cut the thick,
black hair where Magdalen's fingers
had once lingered so lovingly; strange
eyes dwelt upon his face, noting its
changes. There was no one near who
loved him; he was in the world alone.
Hired servants who gas*h their ser
vices half grudgingly for his gold;
doctors who tried, for the sake of
science, to restor him; nurses who.
thought only of what they should
drink and earn: these were the only
attendants on Paul Fulton's death-bed
Never a loving hand soothed him; no
gentle lips touched his wounded face;
no sweet words of comfort were
whispered to him: as he had sowed,
so he reaped. In this, the hour of
bitter pain and coming death, there
was no pity for him.
The hopes, the sins, the schemes of
that Wasted life were all ended; the
grand fiat had gone forth. He had
won money, he was rich and popular;
but the end was come, and he must
die; a strange doctor, bending over
him. saw there was no hope. He
touched him gently, and asked him if
he had any worldly affairs to settle.
The haggard eyes opened and glared
wildly—so wildly that the doctor
started, shocked and half frightened.
"Do you mean," said Paul Fulton, in
a low. hoarse voice, "that

; "Yes," said the doctor, gently;
’ is better that you should know
truth. You will not sec this sun ....
I Make your peace with God and man.
A moan of unutterable agony came
froai the white lips. What should he
do? He had lived as though there was
, no death. He had never thought of
a future state, looking upon all re
ligion as an old and idle superstition;
and now. in a few hours, he must
stand before him whom he had persist
ently ignored, and answered for his
sins; no wonder that large drops roll
ed from his face. Paul Fulton had not
been afraid to sin, but he was afraid
to* die. He did not understand, at first,
how it was; then the confused
thoughts cleared. He remembered he
was rich, wealthy, honored, and about
to -marry the fair and fashionable
Lady Grahame. But her guardian had
taunted him, had shown by the glance
of his keen, proud eyes that he dis
believed “his story. He remembered
the mad gallop when he tried in vain
to arrest the course of his frightened
horse and could not; now iuwas all
oyjr. There were strange pains that
pierced him. a strange numbness came
over him. and once—ah, surely his
brain must be turned—once he saw
Magdalen's sweet face smiling to him
from behind the curtain, and |>ointing
to the ring upon her hand.
It was but the vision of an excited,
bewildered mind, yet it turned his
thoughts in quite a different direction.

from his mind like a forgotten dream
—but he remembered Magdalen, who
had spoken sweet words of the Judge

with her gentle touch and her loving
heart, he should hot be so frightened.
And again he sowed as he reaped. He
had driven his wife from him in the
proud arrogance of his prosperity, and
he would have given all he had in the
world if she could have been with
him.
He remembered his child. Poor

Fast a* it wa* possible to go. Lord
Bayncham hastened to that dying
man. He heard from the butler, when
he stood in the hall, every particular
. of the accident—he saw real, unfeign
ed tears shining in the man's eyes.
Mr. Fulton was loved by hi* infer
ior* for his invariable kindness and
good humor. Then he entered the
luxurious chamber, where the master
of the house lay, doomed and dying.
“Let him come near me." said Paul
Fulton to Dr. Arne. "I have much
to say to him.”
The doctor rose from his seat, and
made way for Lord Bayneham.

with crimson stained bandages upon
hi* head, be the same one who had
saluted him so gayly a few hours ago?
The wild eyes, full of horror, glared
upon him.
"I am dying they say." gasped the
hoarse, low voice. "I never feared
man, but I am afraid to die."
Lord Bayncham did not know what
to say—a woman in his place would have uttered the exact words the dy
ing man wanted to hear—something of
mercy and pardon and hope. Lord
Bayneham looked awkwardly around
the room, and then murmured some
thing about recovery.
"No," said Paul Fulton, sorrow
fully; "Doctor Arne tells me I shall
not see this sun set. Lord Bayncham
I want to speak to you about your
wife.”
The young carl started. In the
shock of seeing that ghastly figure, he
had forgotten for a moment that he
expected to hear of his lo»t love.
“What of my wife?" he said,
gently; for, even supposing that Paul
Fulton had caused all the sorrow and
suspense, it was not possible to main
tain the faintest gleam of anger
against the shattered, dying wreck
before him. "What of my wife?" he
asked again.
"I should like to sec her.” whisper
ed Paul Fulton. "I am dying, they
say, and this is my last prayer. Let
me sec your wife once; let my last
look be upon her face.'
“Do you know where

Ah. then he knew nothing of

“Why do you wish to see my wife?"
he asked "trust me—tell me.”.”
"I will." said Paul Fulton. “I do
not know whether you have been told
anything of your wife’s

“Your child!” cried Lord
in unutterable wonder.
"Yes," said Paul, “my

There was - silence for some few
moments, and a thousand thoughts
flashed through Lord Bayneham'*
mind. This explained all that had
seemed, so mysterious—the notes—ah.

she would never reveal it, and that
oath she faithfully kept. It seemed
like an especial decree from Heaven
that I should go to Bayncham. and find there my wife's grav
