Then Luoy grew Joaleus. She said nothing, but she took tin opportunity one pleasant afternoon of watching the roturn of tho equostrlans on a side road, leading from her house to Thornhill Halt Test Thorq they were, precisely ma - pooplo had said. George, her own George no longor, perhaps, was riding at the brldlo-rein of tho ooautlful Miss Kato Ilford.

"Ho lovos Kato Ilford with all his soul, but ho is a { man of honor, and he will never tell hor so unless you set him free. And that," sho added scornfully, "you will ? never do, I supposo. You will not loso the ehanoo of marrying the rlohest man in the State. But I shall hate you, always! Never will I call you Mister,' remember that! And wuon you onter Georgo's home I leave it.

From time to time Ja stanoes h*ve occurred whoro, in ex-1 tremo cavea, Ma sort of dernier reaorfc, oil haa been poured out aa a plaoating libation to an an^iy sea; and but a ahort time ago wo recorded the faot that aa AtWio* merchantman had been aavod from tho fury of the tom poatuoua oooan by emptying to tho windward a cargo of sperm-oil. Tho oil floated out and subdued tho wavos to the oxtent of giving tho vesael a olearing free from the' roach of tho booming, breaking waves. Wo .ven tured the opinion at the time that there might come from thla auooeaaful ma neuver a praotloal aohome for future proteotlon. A stop in thia direction naa boon taken by a Mr. Shielda, of London, who haa obtained a patent on an apporatua for oiling the ocean to mitigate atorm dangera.
