' tll?ea, my Lilly. By far the largest proportion." '•'Then why did that wicked woman oaf t unjust aspersions on you?" said Rose, with excitement. ''None of the members of the company wfU credit her words, nor indeed the buripees world generally, my pet. The unkind language you heard was simply the ebullitions of a disappointed andam bltkroa woman, who should receive our pity-rather than our harshoensure." j "But, dear papa, tell me, please, is this failure so severe that any will lose or lu&or by f on?' "My d6ar Utse rosebud, ws shall be ftTile to pay every penny. Your eyea can meet the gaze of the universe fearless ly and acre that none is impoverished through our losses." "Then who cares, or why should we all look pale and anxious over this?" re fitted th# bright girl, clapping her hands joyously. "But, little one, are you aware that to do this we muat leave our pleasant home, testgn all the appliances or ease and lux ury that now surround «s, lose caste among many of your companions, while we labor and economise strictly to be ttfble to supply the family with the bare edmfofts of life? How can my darlings endure this great and sudden change?" "Grandly, my dear papa. I don't dis like the change at all. I was telling sis tor but a few days ago that our mode of fife was not satisfactory, being, as it has always been, utterly useless. For years we have fceen simple works of art about the house for others to look after and arrange in suitable lights, In the snorning we cannot rise till Marie or Therese comes to dress us, and all day long they dance attendance upon our whime. At night we must be disrobed and put to bed litre little babies. I have long felt dissatisfied with myself, be cause I was conscious that I was not de veloping all the powers God had given me and yet could not understand how to change the daily routine of busy nothings. Now we may at least learn whAt hands and feet were made for." "But, dear father," said the eldest sis ter, with some hesitation, "I thought our mother had a fortune invested in her own name, entirely subject to her control, to provide for Just such an emergency as this. That surely will supply all your wants. Then why speak of returning to the hard labor and close calculations of your younger days? Your children will cheerfully do that. Our parents should rest now and allow us to learn the same useful lessons you so wisely practiced in your youth." "Why, my dear girl," said Mrs. New ton, smiling, "your thoughts seem to run in the same channel as your brother George's.* "They often do that, mother," said George, throwing his arm lovingly around his sister. "And do not mine also, Sir Brother?" asked Rose with an injured air. "No, Skylark; oh, no. Your thoughts •soar singing up to heaven's high arch' and thence descend upon us with sun aMae and rosy hues in the darkest hour, you darling little sunbeam, you!" "But, ttosie, what will Jasper say to this hasty descent and all this talk about learning the use of hands and feet, eh? I fear that he will rebel at the two years' probation yet to be passed and spirit you off to that southern Eden he bo enthusi aatioally portrays to prevent you from sharing with us the changes we antici pate." Mr. and Mrs. Newton tried by a warn ing look unseen by Rose to stop George's allusion to Grenville, but soon felt that he was aottng wisely. A word apparent ly lightly spoken might awaken a train of thought that would in some degree prepare her for the first shock should her SeJroJked prove unworthy. Bofe answered her brother gayly: •*Nef&? you fear for Jasper. He does jnot aloud love wealth or station and will &c the came to me in a lowly cottage ■working with embrowned and hardened hands ad when playing the butterfly in lhe§e grand old parlors, or if he cannot," Itier gay smile suddenly faded and a look :of hardi stern; resolution suoh as her |#tan&t never witnessed before settled about her lips, changing the expression df her whole f ace— *■ 'or if he cannot—then let Mm pass. He would not be worth re gretting." "Ah, that may be/ Baid her sister, ?*not worth regretting* but could you help it, darling? 1 "Help it?" cried the spirited girl. "I should scorn such a man too deeply to jnaurn for him. But, Lil, are you trem bling lest Eustace may wish to desert you? Ah, I shall not allow that. He has cseen too long a true brother to fear auy change in him." "sfo, sister, I am not fearing or doubt iajb btit one cannot resist the intrusion (4 many unwonted thoughts in oontein ttlating a change so entire and sudden. !sfot ywJ need not fear I shall do Eustace tejtujtice. We have known each other too long. I would as readily doubt George, or you, my only sister." I "It would be very strange, my chil dren," said Mr. Newton, "if your minds 4ld BOt at times turn toward possibili ties until you have seen both your friends and they fully understand your present position. I do not say this because I have the remotest suspicion that loss of wealth will produce any change either In Dunbar or Grenville. On the con trary, I expect to see increasing tender ness and a more earnest desire to shield you from trial and hardship." Rose sat unusually quiet, and George's loring watchfulness changed the current of her thoughts by saying: "Your question, my gentle Lilly, re mains unanswered. You were inquiring concerning property belonging to our mother, Could you not read an answer In father's glance which made her cheek as fresh and blooming as your own? She will not accept by right that which would embarrass her husband in settling the whole concern on the broadest basis of old fashioned honesty." "And that, my son, is but simply do ing my duty, not at all deserving your gallant compliment. Would you will ingly give any the least occasion to ac cuse your father of wrong or injustice because legally I might retain that which .

ootjlS enable him to make a most satis- ' factory settlement of this whole busi ness?" ''Oh, no, mother? I rejoice that you can do as you propose if by so doing the most captious can find no blame in fa ther, yet you must allow me to be a little proud of you notwithstanding." "And all this time," interrupted Eose, "no one has spoken or thought of Alfred and Ralph." "You are indeed greatly mistaken, my child; our boys have not been long ab eent from our thoughts. lam very thank ful that these developments have tran spired during their vacation. t hope we can manage to aid them in completing their education." "Alfred will never agree to that—nev er," cried Eose. "Do you think he would consent to our laboring to keep him in college at such a oriels as this? No, in deed; I know my brother better. Much as he prizes his literary advantages, they would never repay him for the depriva tion of sharing with vi In these united efforts." "Patience, Eosie," interrupted Mrs. Newton, smiling. '"We have not a doubt of our boy's willingness to share in all the self denial or hardship that may be in store for us, but his college course is nearly completed, and hewill be capable of so much more remunerative labor if he can enter upon life with a well cul tivated mind that it would seem wise for him to finish, even if some extra ex ertion on our part and self denial on his may be necessary." "I think," said George, "we under stand your wishes and am sure we would all most gladly aid in perfecting them, but I fully agree with sister that it will be difficult to convince Alfred that he cannot participate in our work from the commencement." "I appreciate the sentiments you both express," said Mr. Newton, "btre we will leave the matter for a later discussion. I must now have a few moments' conver sation with your mother, while you, my daughters, lay aside your riding attire and ring for tea. This evening we must be denied to all callers and meet in a Btrictly family council.**

CHAPTER IV.

We turn with great reluctance, even for a few moments, from this peaceful home, -^hose Inmates look calmly to the uncertain futtrfe. upheld hf a "con soienoe void of offense toward God and man, to a most painful contrast. A more wretched person can hardly be imagined than L© Barroh as with bowed head and folded arms he passed from the store and bent his step 3 home ward. Ah, what a home awaited him! Well he knew how the tidings he must communicate would be received by hio family. Whichever way he turned despair and misery stared him in the face, and his own conscience rose from its long slum bers, and now a stem accuser set his sins in order before him. It carried him back to his youthful days and traced the beginnings of the dark tempest that now raged so fiercely around him, threatening utter destruction. It whis pered of the father, too early lost, whose whole life had exemplified the true prin ciples of integrity he so earnestly urged upon his son; of the tender mother, whose latest breath bade him follow in his father's footsteps and trust in his father's God. Now it recalls the fas cinations of the gay young beauty whose heart could only be bought by wealth and foolish splendor, not given in generous love. Then came trooping before his fevered vision the tempta tions to rash speculations, far overreach ing honesty, to which he had yielded, and which, most unfortunately, proved so successful as to place him early among wealthy men and enabled him to secure the long coveted bride. Ah, how soon did he wake from his enchanting dream of love to find all that his heart had so desired turn to bitter ashes! This sad disappointment in the home he had so fondly pictured and the little satisfaction found in the wealth and high position gained by scarcely honest means recalled his parents' efforts to inculcate true principles, whjoh, had they beea adopted, might even then have shielded him from the sorrows, al ready foreshadowed, in the early period of his middle life. When at last Mr. Newton accepted him as a partner, how firmly did he vow to his conscience never again to indulge in the dangerous experi nae.nt of naaoru^ol*B speculation! The strict prohibition^ against any eueh at tempts, which were a part of the rule 3 of Mr. Newtoa's business, helped to con firm him in these wise resolutions. Once secure of the partnership, he most anx iously strove to conceal from Mr. New ton some of the business transactions of his earlier life, well assured if once known his continuance in his present position would be of very short dura tion. * For years he had stqod well with the community. A few whiepera of his for mer "haste to be rioh" reached Mr. Newton, but after a striot yet quiet in vestigation he found no cause to believe the rumors or withdraw his confidence, and the reports gradually died away. Meantime his home was not the bright and refreshing spot his youthful fancy had pictured. Le Barron was not natu rally a bad hearted man. His love for his wife had beo& almost idolatrous. He fancied her perfection, but a few short months dispelled the illusion, and for many years he had been the slave of her whims and caprices. Mrs. Le Barron was early educated to feel that wealth and high social position should be her life's ambition. Her par ents were poor, but very proud, and when the rising young merchant, Le Bar ron, wooed and won their daughter their joy was unbounded. Whose house so grand? Whose car riage, with its superb horses and liveried outriders, made such daily sensation? Whose parties, that vied with the tone of the old world, were so much the style as their daughter's, Mrs. Le Barron?" Was not this sufficient to satisfy a par ent's wildest ambition? Why should they be troubled or dissatisfied if their child's private life was one of strife and peevish complaining—if misrule and un-

In searching for the causa, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample taken from a one pound tin in use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic acid, the presence of which is caused by the use of spirits of salts in welding the parts of tin together. The ans'yst warns consumers that tea packed in small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for human consumption, and advises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed in lead with an inside Kcing of vegetable parchment. This style of packet is quite impervious to the air, aDd tea so packed has been known to retain al its aroma and strength for a period of five years.'
