AN UPR0ABI0US MEETING. 1 A town's meeting for the purpose of pretesting against the County Council order for the amalgamation of the township of Redcar and tleurban district of Eirkleatham was held at the! Pariah Church school-room, Redcar, yesterday. Mr Chan.

Wood, chairman of the District Council, presided, and called upon Mr Sill, Cierit to the Council, to read the requisition, in response to wliioh the meeting had been called Froi this it appeared that the meeting had been summoned in response to a request from twenty-one ratepayers and property owners in Redcar fnr tH CHIPS.

Prince Ernest Windisdh-Graetz and his medical Dr. Maade, have been attacked end robbed by brigands at Vizzavona, in the interior of Corsica. The young Prince, who is a lieutenant in the 11th Artillery Regiment stationed at Lemberg, is at present visiting Corsica for reasons of health. Prince Ernest had a considerable sum of money with him, besides several valuable articles of jewellery.

For some two years the little Roman Catholic chapel of Glenaladale, in romantic Glenfinnan, where is the historic monument to Prince Charlie, has strangely enough remained without a successor to the old priest who died. The windows are broken here and there, and the edifice is assuming somewhat neglected appearance. Nevertheless, the devout residents of the district may be seen by ones and twos dropping in, to say their prayers, at all times of the day. The spectacle of a blind man taking an eetive part in a public auction, and bidding in propria persona, is an event which is probably unique in the history of auctions in England. Yet such an event lias happened at the sale cf Sir John Pender's tfft-cts just concluded by Messrs Christie.

The gentleman in question, Mr Power, is a retired non-commissioned officer in the army, bin purchases total up to about 200, every lot cf which was entirely contested my liimself. Much inconvenience is experienced in finding -a railway route to New Orleans along which the covered bridges are high enough to permit the passage of the largest block of granite ever quarried in Vermont. The block is 15ft square and ft. thick. It is intended for the noted Moriarty Monument in that city.

It was quarried in Barre, and has been moved to the dressing sheds. The weight of the block exceeds 50 tons. Investigations show that most routes have bridges too low for the biock to pass through.

Jerusalem was recently the scene of a curious phenomenon. A swarm of flying ante settled upon the city and filled the air from sunrise until nine o'clock.

Visitors to the Holy Sepulchre were obliged to use their handkerchiefs constantly in order to keep the ineocte out of their eyes and nostrils. The natives asserted that this extraordinary flight of ants was the precursor of an earthquake. Whether there was any real connection between the two phenomena or not, as a matter of fact two slight shocks of earthquake were felt in Jerusalem on the evening of the came day. A naval court is about to hear a singular case desertion. A young lieutenant on the cruiser Bugeaud obtained leave to go ashore, and took advantage of the opportunity to hire a bicycle and indulge in a rids.

Returning to the port somewhat later than he should have done, he was horrified to find the squadron already several miles away. The unfortunate lieutenant could only remount and make the best of his way to Marseilles in the hope of finding his ship there, but without success, and he had consequently to give himself up to the naval authorities as an involuntary deserter. Collision entertainments are becoming fashion- nble in America, and the latest development in Forth Worth, Texas, shows to what ridiculous lengths they are carried. Two old electric tram- cars were stuffed with hay, decorated with strea mers, and labelled, one for McKmley and the tber for Bryan. Railway torpedoes were placed ilong a line in the suburbs, and firecrackers freely 3istributed.

At a ffiven signal the crackers were lighted, the hay was set on fire, and the two burning cars set going at full speed right into fach other. As they flew over the track each one was one great mass of flame, and when they met fclie shock was immense. The advance of civili-Eation does not make an end to barbaric display in our amusements. A very singular theatrical suit has just been lecided in the lew courts of Philadelphia. Miss Julia Marlowe, a well-known American actress, cade a contract with the manager of a theatre in the city mentioned to play an engagement.

Having dons so, she exercised the right which dearly belongs to every woman, of marrying die man of her choice, Mr Robert Taber, the leading man of her company. When the time same for fulfilling her engagement she had her-elf billed as -Tulia Marlowe-Taber. a he engagement was not financially successful, and the manager declared that the actress's new name iras the cause of the failure. He, therefore, brought a suit to recover damasrer. but the judge decided against him.

There is yet another danger attendant on the writing of speeches. Lord Dufferin is fond ol telling a story he heard from the late Mr Wyse, t'ho was Ambassador at Athens, and had been long a member of the House of Commons. A member had left his written speech in the library of the House of Commons. A fellow-member, a man with a marvellous power of memory, found the speech, read it carefully, replaced it, and letting Mr Wyse into Ids confidence, delivered the speech word for word in the presence of its luthor in the House of Commons, who at first ohecred the sentiments which were in accordance with his own, but whose face, as the truth dawned on him, was an interesting study of surprise, perplexity, and at last overwhelming indignation. There ja a rumour that Mr Ciiaunccy M.

De-pew, the famous Nw York banker and after-dinner orator, may be appointed United States Ambassador to England. The post is one coveted on account of the Eocual eslat attached to it, though the salary is only 5,500 a year, not nearly enough to pay the expenses which an American Ambassador here must incur. Mr Bayard, who ha? so ably filled the post for the past four years, must, according to the almost invariable rule of American political life, retire as soon as the Re- publicans come into office. None could be more welcome as Mr Bayard's successor than Kir Di'jiew. He is a frequent visitor here, and has innumerable friends all over England.

He took an native part in securing the Republican nomination for McKmley. Tho missing link has been discovered once more. A French traveller, M. Paul d'Enjoy, has had the distinction of bringing to light the gentleman whom he found gathering honey up a tree on the Ann am frontier. When hailed this individual of the Moi race clambered down like a monkey, applying the soles of his feet to the bark.

It was found that he possessed a tail, though its exact nature is not described, and accentuated ankle-bones, looking like the spurs of a eocli. Brief interval sufficed to make the ex plorers and their prisoner quite friendly towards one another, and M. d'Enjoy discovered that his new companion lived with his family in long, narrow, tunnel-like huts, smoked bamboo pipes, wore copper bracelets and bead necklets, and traded with the Annauiites. But the tail's the thing. One of the most extraordinary ca-es of Tuelty to animals ever disclosed was investigated before the Teddington Petty Sessions.

It is remarkable not only for its callousness, but for its senselessness, a considerable number of valuable horses being allowed to starve through sheer neglect. The person accused was John Manning, horse-master in the employment of the. New London and Suburban Omnibus Company. It was alleged against him that about thirty-six horses under his charge were turned into a field at Bushey Park about the beginning of October and left there night and day for several weeks. The sparse crop of grass was soon all consumed, and as no more food wao to be had the animals quickly commenced to feel acutely the pangs cf hunger.

They ate the bushes around the field and nibbled all the branches they possibly could from the trees which separate it from Bushey Park When these were finished, the horses commenced on a wooden paling, gnawing in their famine the staves and chewing them for food. Their hunger must have been terrible to cause them to resort to stuff of that kind. A gentleman who saw them after they had been in the field for a considerable time described some of them as emaciated in a shocking manner, and others were simply a framework of bone- covered with a h-ds. It is difficult to imagine why horses should thus be allowed to deteriorate by starvation. It would surely have been more profitable to sell half of them to provide food for the others.

Mrs Knight (to new acquaintance, whose name she did not catch) "Etymology of names is my favourite study. My theory is that all names indicate what the person's ancestors were. For instance, my ancestors were knights, the Smith family were blacksmiths, and so forth. I think it's the best way to tell what a person is, don't you?" "Can't say I do.

My name's Hogg." The village blacksmith was standing under the spreading chestnut tree. There were no sparks flying from the forge, and he did not look cheerful. "I hate to Bpoil that piece of poetry," lie mused regretfully, "but I've got bills to pay the same as anybody else. If something isn't done pretty soon to bring horses back into popular use, there'll be nothing left for me to do but to shut up this shop and go into the bicycle business." NONSENSE NOT TOLERATED. An American paper states that a Neveda photographer takes very decided measures for turning out a good picture.

A sitter being in his place, tho artist produces a navy revolver, cocks it, levels it at the sitter's head, and says, just sit perfectly still, and don't move a hair put on a calm, pleasant expression of countenance, and look right into the muzzle of this revolver, or I'll blow the top of your head off. My reputation as an artist is at stake, and I don't want no nonsense about this picture." ANSWERED IN PERSON. A Yorkshire vicar widely known for his charitable disposition called one day to see a sick woman. He was shown up to the bed-room where she lay, to all appearance, very ill indeed. Speaking in a feeble whisper, she bewailed the sad condition of her family, as the husband was out of work, and they were practically destitute.

The clergyman, in the kindest manner, promised to do all in Ids power to allievate their distress, and took his leave. In the room below he found the husband, and stopped to have a word with him. Just then one of the children ran out, closing the door somewhat noisely. Scarcely had the echoes subsided when a loud and hearty voice was heard calling from above, "Jack, Jack! Hes t'owd divil left owt?" The feelings of the supposed invalid may be imagined when she heard the measured tones cf the vicar in reply, "'No, madam the old devil has left nothing."

I hesitated to speak to you about it at first, but thought I ought to do it as a friend." Todd: "Well, I am glad you did I'll send her round to the doctor." Nodd: Don't you do anything of the sort." Todd: "Why not?" Nodd: "What good will he do her He'll give her a tonic which will have no lasting effect, and hi the end she will be much worse off. No, sir, what she wants, is good pure air and out-of-door exercise." Todd: "That's so. I suppose that's the best thing." Nodd Have you ever thought of getting her a bicycle?" Todd Not seriously."

Carbonate of soda is the best of all remedies in cases of scalds and bums.

It mav be used on the surface of the burned place, either dry or wet. When applied promptly the sense of relief is magical. It seems to withdraw the heat, and with it the pain, and the healing process soon commences. Those who have once worn tweed knickers as a winter garment will never wear anything else. They are infinitely more comortable than the old-fashioned clinging flannel petticoat.

The garment can be made not only in tweed but in any warm light material, such as serge, flannelette, or fancy stuffs.

If the three or four year old fPddler persists in straying from home, it is wise to write his name and address on a bit of linen tape and sew it somewhere on his clothing. Some mothers sew the little one's name and addiess inside his cap, but since the cap might be stolen or dropped, it is best to tack the tape to some article cf underwear, or better, fasten a tab with his name on it to his outside garment. The most unresponsive metal for a housewife to attack is steel rub and polish as one will, unless a certain secret be known, there is still the dull look, and the hardware dealer will only advise the expensive expedient of sending the steely article to be ground at the factory. The old fashioned knife-brick, however, will work wonders hers by simply having it powdered, mixing with sweet oil and Rubbing on freely.

Allow this to dry on. then polish briskly and finish off with emery powder. A cape of last season can be very easily altered and made quite up to date by adding a gathered velvet frill to the edge of the front, and continuing it all round. The inside of the collar may be trimmed with a ruche of the velvet. Also, to give an appearance of novelty, and add to comfort at the same time, two openings can be made in the back of the cape at the waist, a couple of inches apart, through which a band of velvet is passed underneath and tied round tho waist in front.

The Gas Committee reported that they had received a letter from Councillor Vickerson with reference to the re-engagement and discharge of men at the Gasworks. Mr Vickerson had attended the meeting, and made a statement to the effect that the matter had been satisfactorily adjusted between himself and the manager.

Councillor Vickerson said he did not see any cause for friction now, so long as the men formerly employed at the Gasworks were allowed to take their proper turns at the work The Parks Committee reported having received an offer from Mr ('. A Head, J.P., to give three cygnets to the Park, which they had accepted with thanks. Alderman Hind said this was the second present they had received from Mr Head. Councillor A. B.

Oxley drew attention to the bowling green at the North-end Recreation Ground, and said that as some people who used to play on the ground had left, and were about to form a ground of their own, it would be a waste of money to put a top dressing on it Alderman Hind retorted that the men who formerly played on the ground were not everybody, and as they had gone away ANOTHER CLUB MOULD BE FOUND to play on the ground. The minutes were adopted. The ree Library Committee reported having appointed a Selection and Management Committee consisting of Councillors Hughes and "Whittle, Messrs Vie and Brayshay. Councillor Whittle questioned if gentlemen who were not members of the Corporation could be put on a committee; but he was informed they could. The Markets Committee reported that they had received letters from several tradesmen complaining of the nuisance and inconvenience caused to them on the hirings days by the steam roundabouts and shows: but they had deferred the consideration of the letters till next meeting It was also reported that prizes had been offered for a Christmas show of fat cattle and poultry, and a committee had been appointed to arrange the terms of competition for the prizes.

Alderman Walton reported that certain correspondence tliat had passed between the Bishop and THE NONCONFORMIST COUNCIL was in the printer's hands, and would be circulated to the members at an early date. The District Fund Committee reported that they had resolved that the question of the repair of How-den-street should be deferred, and the estimated cost thereof included in next year's estimate Councillor Green moved an amendment that the npair of Howden-street be proceeded with at once. He said the street was in an extremely bad state, and the estimated cost was only 95, which cquldj be easily afforded.

'Councillor McLauchlan seconded, and said that streets in Die Central Ward, including Stamp-street and Atkinson-street, were in a deplorable state. If they had been situated in the Portrack or Tilery Wards they would have been repaired long since. Councillor Harrison said the committee were all agreed that the street ought to be done, but the committee were already overspent on their estimate for several months. Alderman Hind said the committee were agreed that this street should be taken in hand immediately after 31st March. Councillor Dodds and Councillor Langley supported the amendment, and Councillor A.

Smith opposed it. Alderman Smith pointed out that the committee had some very important work in hand with respect to the drains and sewers, which was more urgent than Howden-street. The amendment was carried by 11 votes to 3 against The Engineer was authorised to put ia thenecegsary of kmp-holes and man-uoies in connection with the tiarbutt-stTeet sewer, and the question of carrying out a new drainage scheme was deferred The Town Clerk reported tfest, as instructed, he wrote to the Standing Joint Committee of Durham County asking them to PROVIDE A PRISON VAN to convey prisoners from the police station en route for Durham.

ALLEGED INSANITARY PROPERTY AT AUCKLAND.

At yesteiday's meeting of the Auckland Urban Council a report was read from Dr. McCullagh of an inspection of what is known as Poweil's-yard, Back Bondgate, which he made on the previous day. He said he found two cases of typhoid fever in the yard, one in a house inhabited by a person named Hunt, and the other in the adjoining house, inhabited by a person named Barker. The case in Hunt's house had been removed to a larger house in the yard, and the empty house had been locked up and disinfected. He had tha house opened, and found it quite unfit for habitation.

There were only two rooms, the up stairs one being reached by a ladder. The rooms were only 8j feet by 14 feet and eleven people lived in them. There was no ashpit or privy accommodation except at the bottom of the yard, a considerable distance away. Barker's house was even smaller, being only 8 feet by 12 fest inside the rooms 'The patients had occupied the greater part of one side, and there was no place to put the ladder to mount to the up stairs room. Consequently the other inmates, thiee in number, were living in the same room as the sick person.

Both the houses were in a hopeless condition, and should be permanently closed a3 soon as possible. The Clerk (Mr Nelson) asked if there were auy more houses in the town like that, and the Surveyor said there were. A discussion arose as to what should be done whether permanent closing orders should be sought for or not. Mr Eilburn said they should not net with undue zeal. They had allowed it to go for some years, and they should not rush into the matter, or act indiscreetly.

Eventually it was agreed to postpone the matter for a month, and the Surveyor and Medical Officer will again visit the place with as many of tho members of the Council as choose to accompany them.

(Contutted.) When Rosamond started for home Victor ac companied her, and they walked along the road ux nuoiw, ui ran wiui uuwuuuiir eyes, ouu lciur with a troubled and sad expression. There) was something in Rosamond's face that pained him inexpressibly. He began to see dimly what it was that had changed her towards himself so much. For a moment he felt inclined to resent her unjust luspicions by an absolute silence then the wisn to clear himself in her eyes overcame Big wounded pride, and he said, gently Rosamond, I hope you do not believe the assertion made by the poor mistaken creature." She did not answer a word, only looked down at the leaf-strewn path and quickened her steps. Answer me." he urved.

in a voice that w.uj almost stern from deep emotion. 1 ao not know how to answer you, she faltered, in a low, almost inaudible tone, without raising her eyes. leu believe it, then? "I did not say so," she interrupted But your actions declare it as plainly." Poor Annie!" she sighed. Rose- Won't, WUl CVT. an1 ror nrlilla Ktt- fl, brook? I have I am not tired in the least.

would rather not Ston tO rest." sh ancrnrpnWI a-ML-fnfT nn little faster. Only a few minutes, dear Rose, If you do not yet know me well enough to feel assured that lam incapable of taking a lovely young girl from her home and marrying and deserting her, I can prove to you that I am." How r. 1 'V11-. 1 another as far superror to Annie. Adair as the mi Kin is to the stars because 1 hope to win that peerless creature for my own, and no dishonourable act of mine shall give her room to doubt the nobility of the heart I lay at her feet." He saw a flickering scarlet dyeing her cheek in spite of the straw hat she had pulled closer over her face.

It gave him courage to go on Rose, won't you believe that this undying love, for you is strong enough to shield me from all temptation? If I am selfish and premature in speaking of my love for you, remember tliat only this doubt which I saw in your eyes has forced me to vindicate myself by declaring it. And since it is so sine this cloud of suspicion, which time must soon dissipate, is over me now, won't you hold out your little hand to me and say that your belief in the truth and honour of Victor Fairfax is unbroken?" No answer. She would have given worlds to have done as he wished her but the memory ot that dying-gaze. those dying words, came vividly to her mind, and she shuddered from head to foot, Could she believe this passionate avowal of affection, and reject the testimony of the dying Christian Reason sternly answered No. "Rose, when the truth comes to light, as it must and will soon, you will regret these doubts of one who has not deserved them.

I know that your friendship for Annie makes you indignant at all that has occurred, but I am not the one on whom to expend your just scorn. I am sure that at this moment Monsieur Saville and Annie are together. You may blame me, as I do myself, for thoughtlessly introducing the Frenchman into my homo, but only in that have I been instrumental in bringing this trouble on my friends." Jl you could only prove it," she said, eagerly. He looked at her with the impassioned light dying out of his eyes and a cabn hauteur taking its place. "1 will prove it," he said, in so a voice it surprised her.

'I will prove to you, Rosamond tliat a more honourable heart uever tlirobbed 111 man's bosom than the one ycu now doubt and scorn. "lou are talking wildly, Victor," she said, in unsteady tones. "What right have I to scorn you I hat would be but a poor return for the kindness I have always received from you. Say rather that I am bewildered by the scene I have lately witnessed, and if I wrong you, forgive me. ou must admit that the evidence against you 13 almost overwhelming." "It is at present; but a few days, weeks, or months will establish my innocence." 'Heaven grant that it mav be so she earnestly exclaimed When they were about to part he extended his liand.

though she did not refuse him hers, there was no answering clasp to his firm, strong pressure. As time went by Victor and Rosamond began to avoid each other. When in company they were outwardly cordial and kind, but they no longer sought each other's society as in the past, Ihe dainty freshness of May had givtm place to the prodigal glory of June. It was a delightful evemng just as sunset, when the household of Le Kefuge were gathered on the piazza fronting the river. Colonel Fairfax sat at the farther end looking quietly out, apparently absorbed in his own thoughts.

Mr3 Reeves and Florence were engaged in an animated conversation with Victor. It appfared that Mr Beeves had not yet succeeded in finding a suitable establishment for them, and thev bore the suspense with commendable patience. A littio farther off, half-way down the broad marble steps, sat the two younger girls. They wvre both dressed in wliite, and looked fresh and fair and wonderfully picturesque, with their laps ruU ot bnght-eoloirred flowers which they were weaving mto exquisite garlands. Lillian, as uual chattering incessantly, and woud-ring why Rosa monds garland progressed so much faster than her own.

I can tell you why," said Rosamond, lifting her bright eyes a moment from her task. 1 is because you are talking all the time and looking around you, while I am giving all my attention to my employment," Lillian meditated. Perhaps it is that," she said, soberly. Now I am going to keep silent, end if I speak before five minutes pass you must stop me, Rosamond." They wmt. at their graceful tak with renewed diligence, their white fingers glancing like snow among the soft grtm leaves and bright hud flowers but in a morn, nt Lillian's restless blue eyes were gazing down the magnolia avenue.

Well, if then' isn't" Rosamond held up a warning finger. It is scarcely two minutes, Lilly." "I cannot help it; I must speak, sister, there is Monsieur Saville Tho BMitlernan came ud the broad Mamma, steps and shook haiid. all abound, with his clewant manner. He was dusty and tired-looking, and in a moment excused himself to make a fresh toilet. Victor, with a grave expie-ssion on las handsome courteously followed him to liis room.

CHAPTER XII. AM Monsieur Saville turned round when they had entered, and, closing the door, looked wondering-ly at Victor's serious face. "Von are giave, friend, he observed, lightly. "Has la bello Rosamond anything to do with it?" A slight frown corrugated the young man's brow. Of all thing: he shrank from hearing the tame of a pure young girl on the liys of this man, whom he felt to be unwoithiy of the privilege.

Controlling his annoyance with sui effort, however, he answered, coldly "I do not discuss my private affairs with any one, Monsieur Savillfie but my present anxiety is to learn from you the whereabouts of Annie Adair." handsome Frenchman looked at Victor half angrily. In a moment he asked. "What do you mean?" "I mean this," was the quiet reply, "tliat you Monsieur Saville. were married to Miss Adair almost six wet-k' ago, at the cottsg of Mrs Burns, and that you contrivtd to lvave there at such an hour as to cast suspicion on me as being the prtrty implieatetl. I dvnand that you at once conf ss tho truth to Clifford Adair, and clear me from ad "Ah, indeed." drawled Monsieur Saville.

"Sorry I cannot oblige you. The fact is, I met Clifford a few minutes ago, and he told me the same thing, but I wai compelled to contradict his little romance, which I entirely to his satisfaction and mine. I him the address of my fr'end whom I have been visising, and he can cert'fy that I have- been staying at his hoti'o from the day I left 'Lc- Refuge' up to yesterday, when I started return. Of course if I had been encumbered with a br.ch' I have been unable to spend my time with a parly of bachelor friends, as I have most assuredly boeii doing." Victor looked at the calm, Slightly triumohant face, aiul the fparkling, lncuruiuuie iyts, and answered, hrmly "Savill 1 do net believe you Annie Adair "is your wife." I btliove that Simply because I left Lo Refuge on the same day she left her home." aid Monsieur Saviile, smoothly, ignoring the firnt part cf Victor's speech. "Do I need to remind you, my friend, that you also hit for Richmond on the same day, and that Mrs Bums' story ran that the eloping party went to Richmond the same day, whilo I pursued a different course to the home of my friend Mr Temple.

Things look darker against you, Victor, than me. Eor shame to elope with a trusting young beauty, and throw the blame on your guest. This the boasted hospitality of you But for a courtesy due to his guest of which he was thus fortunately reminded it probable that Victor might have knocked down the sarcastic Frenchman. But firmly controlling hi-; anger, he said, quietly "1 am perfectly aware of what is due to my guests. Fir; but it seerm that you are not.

sinct. you have availed yourself of your acquaintance with the Adairs, whom you first met as guests at Le to carry trouble and misery into the happy and affectionate family. Such being the case, I must decline hereafter the honour oi your company or acquaintance. I hope 1 am sufficiently explicit, sir." The two men looked straight at each other. Victor Fairfax firm, haughty, and spirited, like a young prince in his virtuous indignation, and Monsieur Saville perfectly cool, and trying to lcok a little contemptuous, which effort was aid by a very expressive ghrug of the shoulders.

"You are quite explicit enough, sir," ae answered, sneeringly; "but allow me to doubt year power to eject me from 'Le Refuge' Indeed it ij quite probable that an earlydaymayturn the tables, and I may have the pleasure of making that remark to you." Victor leaned against the window and looked hard at Monsieur Saville. Was the man mad? Or what did he mean by that apparently senseless speech? Saville made a step forward. Will you shake hands with your elder brother?" Victor beran to think the man was certainty insane, and looked toward the door with an impulse to collar the lunatic and call for assistance. Monsieur Saville looked at the door too. Ho stepped up and placed his back against it.

"I see you think me demented," he Baid, "but I can assure you there is method in my madness, I am in reality your own half-brother, and being the elder son of Colonel Fairfax, am entitled to all his property of which you have fondly imagined yourself the heir." "How dare you utter such untruths, sir?" exclaimed Victor, haughtily. My father has been married but once, and I am hia only child." Your appearance dees not warrant my saying ao, but your words do, sir." "Very well. Will you be kind enough to go down and ask your father if he was married twice. He will answer affirmatively. If he does not to you he will to me when I show him the proofs in my possession." "Saville, you must be mad" 'I am not.

Colonel Fairfax married my mother in France in his youthful days. He will tell you that she bore him a son. I am that son. Go and ask him if I tell the truth. As soon as I make a fresh toilet I will meet you both in the library with proofs of what I have told you." Victor walked slowly down stairs, and looked out on the piazza for his father.

He was not there, and he retraced his steps to the library. Colonel Fairfax sat in his usual position, looking dreamily out at the sunset sky, when his son entered, and glancing up, he uttered an exclamation of surprise. How pale you are, my son Are you well Yes, sir. It is nothing. I was a little she -eked just now, that is all," answered Victor, smiling faintly.

In the bright sunset glow that pervaded the room Victor fancied that his father's calm face whitened a little, and there certainly was an unnatural tone in his voice as he asked "And what can it be that has so powerfully shaken the nerves of my son':" Victor related the substance of Mrs Burns's story, and earnestly pictured the death-bed scene, when she liad so singularly mistaken him for another person. I telt sure, he added, conclusion, tnat Saville was the light one: but he utterly denies it, and pretends to think 1 am the person who eloped with Annio. Every onet tEcms conspiring to fasten some odmm upon my name, he added. despondently. rhat is not like my brave boy, said Colonel Fairfax.

And is that all that troubles you. "Victor?" No, sir," was the hesitatinc answer Saville talked of turning me out of the house, and actually asserted that he. was your son by an early marriage with a French lady." The long-dreaded blow had fallen at last, and Victor would almost have given his life to have recalled his words, as his beloved father fell back in his chair as if turned to stone, Victor sprang from his seat, and laid his hand on the cold white brow. "Oh, father!" he said, brushing back the silvery hair from the noble brow with almost womanly tenderness No answer came from the pale lips, and Victor in the greatest alarm begged him to speak, to forgive him if his thoughtlessly-uttered words had pained him. At last, as if the touch of that beloved hand brought back the ebbing life, Colonel Fairfax P.e?rd j1S and mournfully upwards.

"My dear son!" he said, with tender emphasis At that moment the doc opened, and Monsieur Saville entered. He came forward and stood before Colonel Fairfax respectfully, his expression softened to pathos, and liis voice almost entreating, as he said Father, will you not call me your son also'" Colonel Fairfax shrank back in his seat and lookea appealingly at Victor, who stood at his side withdus hand on his shoulder. It was such a kind, reasunng, protecting pressure, that it gave mm strength to regain some of his usual cold composure. mjP Prove yourself my son, Monsieur hn acknwlcdge that you were married in Fans in the yar 18 to my mother?" 1 was married in Paris at that tim," the cold rejoinder. Whether it was to your mothei remains for you to prove," "My mother's maiden name was Fanthon recoUeS it? bnCeriagly P1 Colonel Fairfax bowed.

Th as the nanle of the I married And I am your child and here. I hav panels here to prove the truth of all I assert also my mother miniature and yours. You can xamine them if you like." He took them from a package he held in his hand, and laid them before the colonel. Victor looked over his father's shoulder, and saw tae two faces framed in a golden case: his fathers young and full of manly beauty; the other a dark, bright', wicked face, with' merry eyes and laughing lips the very face to ensnare a man heart with its subtle fascination. His farther just glanced at them and turned away, while tho owner returned tho case to his pcytet, Here is a letter written by my mother in my infancy," he said, quietly, laying a yellow sheet bet ore the colonel.

In case of her death before I reached manhood she wished it to be given me. She died, as you are aware, many vears before that time, and I am only fulfilling my mother's wishes in coming hero to claim my rights as your eldest sou and heir." Tn be continued.)

If this amalgamation took place BKDCAB GAVE TJP ITS INDEPKN'l BXCK, never to regain it. For some years past the question had been brought forward at election times, and the town had always expressed itself against amalgamation.

The question for them now was whether they were to accept the order of the County Council, and make the best terms they could, or reject it in toto. For some year pabi, me town naa always strongly opposed amalgamation. He hoped they would express their views quietly, in good temper, and in good will, keeping before them that they had to do what was best for the town and not what was best for individuals. (Aianse.) He moved tliat the County Council order be not accepted After the Clerk, in response to the Rev. J.

Groves had briefly explained the provisions of the order' ouncillor Phillipson seconded the motion He said whenever this question had cropped up there had always been a large majority of the ratepayers of Redcar opposed to amalgamation, and this opposition would be stronger now because cf the feet that the rural part of Kirkleatham had been separated from the urban part. This would mean a less to the urban part of 180 per year, which the new joint authority would have to make up, and ao the rates of Redcar would be increased. The order proposed to give them equal representation, but he thought, this would not last for loug, as Kirkleatham would soon be coming and for increased representation. Then there wad THE OLD, OLD DRAINAGE QUESTION. (Laughter.) They knew that Coatham had ap plied to the Local Government Board for power to borrow money for drainage purposes and a considerable expense would perhaps take place in the near future.

Then there was the question of the adjustment of the assets and the rates, the latter being 4d in the more in Coatham than in Kedoar, whde the rural portion being taken away would still further increase them. But he was sure the merchants and gentlemen oi Coatham would not think of taking advantage of the "small traders and working men" of Redcar. (Loud laughter and amlause.l He nrcr.l tht there would be no saving in salaries, as the old omciais wouici nave to be pensioned, and the new ones would require a larger salary. The programme of the amalgamationists if carried out would mean that their rates would be 5s or 6s in the and with the water and poor rates, 7s or 8s in the while they would have hous3 empty, and property going down in value-Councillor Pattison said it would hn vrV serious for Redcar to lie amalgamated.

The new district would be called Redcar, and he did not see how Redcar was going to lose itis independence (Hear, hear.) Coatham would become, on the other hand, prac tically non at. Some person at this point commenced making a disturbance-, and Mr Fitzgerald asked that this person should be ejected or made to keep quiet. Mr Hudson, continuing, said by amalgamation they did not lose their independence or anything like it The interruption again occurring, the Chairman said, Will you be good enough to keep quiet.

If not I shall have to ask the police to remove you." (Loud laughter and applause.) Councillor Hudson again continuing, said that an election had never been fought on this question (interruption) and the only real test they had of the feeling of the town wph when they paid a man 6s a day for twelve days to get up a petition against amalgamation, and he only got 340 signatures. These 340 ratepayers were all that could be got, and they only represented half of the ratepayers and owners of Redcar. (Applause, and cries of Mr Hudson "I am quite certain, and if you went round now you would not get 340." (Laughter and cries of "How do you Mr Hudson: "Well, it is my opinion." (Renewed laughter and applause.) He showed that THE ONLY THING THEY WO by the separation cf the rural 1 portion of Kirkleatham was abo 1 would mean about a penny rat or only a fraction of a penny in united district, and asked whether making a noise about. (Applause that there was no likelihood of tht beinff changed to the detriment stated that instead of the rates of tuUu.u higher than those of Redcar they would find that if the last ten years werci taken, they were considerably lower, while Coatham had spent considerable sums 011 improving the roads which Redcar should liave spent, but had wasted in working up agitation against amalgamation. (Applause and disturbance.) Tn conclusion ho urjjcd them to accept the order, and to join with Kirkleatham in seeking to retain the rural part.

(Loud applause.) Councillor Baker then addressed the meetinjr, and said Councillor Hudson had not put forward a single reason for accepting- amalgamation. (Applause.) If they accepted the drainage scheme except under a twenty years' arrangement they would make a most serious mistake. If they accepted amalgamation the two drainage schemes belonged jointly to the two Councils.
