Outside tho deep casement windows the night winds were blowing, the ragged treo-tups swaying against a cold gray skv. Bella shivered as she sat by the tiro. This was the dreariest Sunday evening sho bad ever spent.Presently u shrill b'-ll ncnlcil londly through thu bouse, a startling sound amidst a rilmic* which seemed to Imre lusted for ages—nay, to br a normal condition of one's ttxiAtence. Bella gnvo a little jump, like a nerVons horse, uud sat up iu her chair, olort arid eager. ‘ Caul I it be Cyril Culvorhouse ? No, of course not.' ” His Imago filled so large a place in her life that oven the Budded ringing of u bell suggested his approach, till reason camo to check tho vagaries of fancy. The same thought darted into Beatrix'.1' mind. For a womiih deeply in iovo. earth holds only one man—her lover. Was it Cyril who camo to claim her. to trample down Um burner of paternal authority, and to claim her by the right of their muinnl love,? This Wed being ot tbe first flash of rehson Pttorly untenable, lasted no longer with Beatrix than it bud dune with Be 1 la.

H»will gons he camo, no donht, leaving no trace of his presence behind him.’ But hero Beatrix was wrong. This was not to bo. In the library the two mon were standing fne« to face—men who had not mot for more than ten years, who bad parted in anger ton deep for words. Christian MarcfieLI contempLited his visitor cnlinly, or with that stony quiet­ ude which is passion's best assumption of । culir.| • Han the end of the wntll come, Ite ‘Yon arn snr|>risad that I should come ? ' responded the Italian,in very g»«d English. • I am surprised at two tbuig-.—your toily an'J your audacity.'' I shall n«t praise my own wisdom. 11 hove done a foolish thing, perhaps, in com­ ing to England ou purpose to do yon n S-T- vice. But I deny the audacity. There is no act in my Past life that should furbid my entrance to thia liouso.’ ‘ Wo will not ro-opon old wounds, orenter upon nn old story,' answered Christian Han-fl'Id. ’'Ton are n villain. You acted like n villain. You arn a coward. Yuu acted like a coward, in flying from the man yon had wronged, when he pursued you iu Mis just aud righteous wrath.’ ' My career of the Inst ten years best I answers your charge of cowardice,’ replied the other, 1 My name will bo remembered distrust to c#me to yon without some con­ firmation of my story.

Tben.by a alow and grad­ ual growth, jealousy took root in the link- band's heart, and strangled every bettey feeling.

Later there followed positive aceasationa. the open charge of inS lelity. and in ibe pas­ sionate indignation kindled by groundleiia allegations Christian Hsrefield's wife con­ fessed that sho had never loved him, that' ulie bad sacrificed her own inclination* for tho b;nefit»f h«r familv. She confra«ed further that sha hndjoved Antonio Murnnn; but declared at tbo' earns lime, wilh team of mingled nnger and shame, that no word had over been spoken bv elttwroof them^— since her r.mrriaga which her husband could condemn. “ You have ser-n him.

Finally came that last Italian jour­ ney. necessitated by tho wife's falt-failing health, nnd with that journey Ure end. They went f'i* time not to Florence. Mr*.

In fixing the price, did you apply the clause «>f tho Railway Act which provides that arbitrators in deciding the value of the lands shall not take into consideration tho in­creased value of the lauds in conaequeucc of the loeatuin of tha railway there, but the value prior to the Io -atiou of tbo rood ?A. N«; 1 was under the imprcmiiun it did Q. Did you speak to any one alt out it ?A. I apuke to Brown, the legal adviser of 1 the rood, and to Vannorman. Van Norman did not give an opinion, but Brown did not think it applied, Bud the valuation was affixed 1 according to the value of, other lands in the vicinity. My own impression was that it did riot apply, tioeausc I could not find that it had applital tn the purclmtu of lands for the We!- land or Lachiue canals.To Mr. Scott—I took into consideration the present, and not the prospective value of ’ the lands.By Mr. AlKtNH -Q.

Wo got n general basis, and when we found adyth 111g going beyoud that, of course wo took pains to seo that it was a bona fide coao. We found several cases in whichitho valuation^ of the owners wore absurd, and wo reduced them. I thing Oliver, Davidson * Co. were the first parties who came to a final settlement Wo met with them ami talked over the valuation. They had their iaudr in such a shape that wo could not btry moro without buying them. It was spread over different parts of the reserve.To Mr. Macpherson—Q. Before closing with them did yon disenss with other parties! A. Certainly.Q. Were you aware that it the prieo asked was in your judgment excessive, yon hail another tribunal to go to ’ A. Y«, I did not know the country much before and the cir­cumstances i-urroundiug it, but I ascertained what parties bod paid for lauds and the rates they were selling for. 1 was perfectly satis­fied that 8250 or $300 per half ncreiot, ac­cord iug to location, WM a fair valuation, and that was the basis of our valuation.f Q. The average was higher than that was it not ! A. Thcro were parties who would not take our valuation, and we exercised some lit­tle judgment by closing with them for about 825 extra.By Mr. SCOTT— Q. Would yon huro been able to have obtained tho lend nt a lower price if you bad gone to arbitration ? A. Nn, WITNESS, then, in reply io Mr. Scotf, gave two or three instances in which par­ ties received less forlhcir land than llje-y originnlly pave. Quo owner had paid 3830 and got 3100 for a lot. Another nnmid Uamsoy paid 8800 nnd received only $100. H<> had no evidence oilier than tbo state- ninnt cf the owners as to what tho lots originally cost. Mr. McLaren's was a case iu which wo had n good deal of uegotia- tion.

The following ac­ count is taken from a Stratford correspon­ dent of Monday’s date :— Upon Rina’s first appearance hero he was allowed the nee of some of the ebarches, until bia style of oratory was so disgusting to the members of the various congrega­tions that the clergy who bud recognized him, by tbo force of public opinion, were compelled lo seek the use of the Town Hal! iu which ho appeared on Wednesday even­ ing last. Upon this occasion 1>o was greet­ed by a I ergo concourse of people, composed meiuly of women and email children. Mr. Bine was billeted upon a most hospitable gentleman, a merchant and a sincere tem­perance advocate, Mr. J. C. Hurst, and oa retiring after the meeting stated bo would not rise very early on the morrow. The Indy of the bouse being absent from home. Mr. Hunt (who. by the by. is an energetic business nran) breakfasted and left early for bis store, leaving his help, a Miss Eliza Gibling, to prepare a lata break fest for bis guest. According to report, and from the preliminary evidence, it appears hs called to tbo girl to bring np a paper of pins, which she did, and in reaching to hand them to the guest, instead of taking the pins he canght hold of her wrist and pulled her into the room, making as it is charged, an indecent and unwarrantable awanlt upon her person ; but finding that she re­ coiled from bis advances and that she had the cocrnga to protect her virtue, ha desist­ed ; upon tbo return of Mr. Hunt, the girl wisely laid her complaint before L'cr em- pleyer, and a decision was arrived at to at once write to Mr. Rins for nn explanation. Before, however, any satisfactory repi? was received, her father heard of the tran­saction, and with parental regard for the vindication of hia daughter’s character, at once insisted upon a complaint being lodged before Felice Magistrate O'Loane, and a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of High Conslnbla McCarthy, who effected the arrest nt Mitchell. Upon Ring's arrival at the Police Conrt here, In's appearance was greeted by an nudienco almost equalling in numbers his temperance meetings, who heartily joined in, and amused tbcmaelveg by singing, *'noL» THE FO11T FOB HE IS COMING.” The chnrgn barine been read, lie pleaded " not guilty,'' and the ease was set down for Monday morning at 10 o’clock, bail being asked for in Ids own bond of 31,000 and two snriticsof 8500 each. Subsequent- I )y, however, the Police Magistrate consent- । ed io accept one bondsman, in the person of Mr. Flagg, of Mitchell, for 3500. It may | —sa IM POR TANT-^ ICCUM taUd..
