MYllA'S AVENGER.

"Mr. Ferdinand Bartley," I read out from the visiting card in ray hand- "Show him iu here, please."

A tall gentleman, wearing & dork beard, 8*

fand

with gold spectacles rating on an aqulline nose, was ushered into my fitudio. He was dressed with scrupulous neatness and icsrrfed a cane In his gloved hand. "Mr. Claude Somcrville. I believe?"

I bowed. "I am aware of your sldll as a portrait painter and shall be very glad if you can fv execute a little commission for me." :=v He unbuttoned his frockcoat and producerl from the inside pocket a photograph, which he handed to me. ft "Would you be good as to paint me a pi life sized portrait in oils of that lady? I |^I should say a life sized head and bust only." "Cannot the lady give me a sitting?" I asked. "Alas, she is dead," he replied, "and this photo is oil I possess to help me to recall her features. She was my wife." i- tj I explained that I felt I could not do jus-

Jftice either to myBelf or to the portrait in ^copying from a photograph and would jlrather not undertake the com ission.

Mr. Bartley, however, was very pressing, %r*\and I at lost consented. As he was going fj^abroad In about 10 days, I agreed to have

ythe

picture completed in time for him to take along with him. He was profuse in his thanks, and after he had given me particulars as to color of hair, complexion, etc., he left.

The picture was an experiment, and I did Sfenot at all care for the work, but I did the best I could with it. Mr. Bartley called s* once while it was in progress and was enthusiastic in his praise. He declared that sit was a lifelike portrait of the original.

This, at any rate, was satisfactory. One morning I was putting the finishing •v. touches to the picture (Mr. Ferdinand Bartley was to call for it in the afternoon) when a model whom I had employed a good deal

In the past came into my studio to ask foi

#\an

engagement. Her name was Julia Hor"ton. As we were conversing she came forWard to look at the work 1 was doing.

Her face suddenly became livid, and her eyes flashed with fury as she pointed at the portrait before her. "Myra I Good gracious, it is Myra!" she lexclalmed. "What does this mean? Did "-you know her?"

She ilxed her eyes on mine ns if she would "&rca<:l my inmost thoughts. "When did you pamt that portrait, Mr.

Somervlllo?" "During the present month," I replied. "But when did she sit to you?" "I never saw her iu my life." !•, "Do not trifle with me," she said, half %leadli)gly, half threateningly. "Mr, Sommerville, 1 must ask you to explain I have right to know. I must know!"

I took the photograph from the shelf of the easel and banded it to her. She seized it and examined it carefully. The edge round the photograph itself had been cut away, and the back of the card had also been torn off. There was no clue to the photographer, if that was what she wanted. "You say you never saw her in your life?" "Never, to my knowledge." "You will swear that, Mr. Somerville?" "I should bo prepared to do so," I repllwl. "Then how do you come to know the color of the lialr arid of the akin They are perfection," "I received the necessary information from the pemm from whom I received the

Jure

ihotograph, and who will call for the picthis afternoon." "Who is it?" she asked cagerly/.'^."I cannot tell you." "But you must do so, Mr. Somcrville."

She took one of my hands in hers and looked imploringly at me, with tears court. Ing clown her jmle cheeks. "It is Impossible for me to do so," I said. "It would not only bo a breach of professional etlque!?c\ but I am in this case pledged to iwic ecy."

This was t«e truth, for Mr. Bartley had told me that he had reasons for {(referring that the transaction should be a strictly private one, and 1 had promised to respect his wishes. Nobody else had ever seen the portrait, and I never had thought it necessary to make concealments in my studio from my models. It was a most uufortu* nate occurrence, and I could not for the life of me think what. Interest Julia could have Itvtho portrait,^#^

1

"Did you know nearly let the name slip out, and an ettger look on Julia's face turned to one of disappointment. "Did yon ktfow the original of this?" 1 Asked. "Know hori Ah, my poor Myra! My sweet, gentle Myra!"

I led her to a chair, and she sobbed bitterly* while it was quite beyond my power to speak any words of comfort. I could not tell what her sorrow might b«w Suddenly she became calm.

Listen she said. "My lather was an Sngllsh merchant, llringat Palermo, where he married nty mother, who was a pure Sicilian. For 10 years they were chUdiews. It was a source of great grief to them, and they mlopKnl an orphan child 3 yeaniof age. She was a bright little girl, wad they grew to love her as if *he hftd been their own. Two years later, however, I was bora, and there were never any other children of the tnarriage, "We two sisters, for such we always courideml ourselves, grew passionately attached to one another, and when our pareats both died to an epidemic that was raging in Palermo she wwi ie years of age and 1 nearly four j-twu* younger. As we had no relative* in Sicily, we came to London to seek the protection and advice of my father's only sister, a maiden lady living In Kensington. "When wc arrived in England, w«re grieved wad alarmed to find thatmyannt had just died. We w«re therefore friendlees and alone iu the worM, lam not go* in* towvaryyou with p*rt-lenl*r* of our many stmg»los with poverty and starvation.

another, relating allour sorrows, hopes and experiences. Last autumn, however, I was able to detect a ehaege in the spirit of my sister's letters. 1 knew that she was less confiding—that she was keeping back something from me. I asked her what it

For several Greeks shte did not write, and then received a short let: that qjarried, tha

4My

husband,' she sobbed.

'Where is he?' "She made no answer. 'Myra, my poor sister, he shall pay for this. What i» your

huslandrs

name?'

"She would not tell mv his name, or anything about him—only that he had for mouths used her brut -.lly, though never with snch abominable cruelty as this. 'Julia,' she said apologetically, 'I think he must go mad at these times. He loses all control over himself. Bnt afterward he is always penitent and loves me passionately.' 'PenitentWNo penitence can atone for this. As for bis outbursts of love, they are simply a degradation.' "'Oh, Julia! I endured it as long as I could, but I have now left him. Iain never, never go back to him again.' 'My poor girl,' I cried, 'why did you not confide in me?' 'Because I would not add my sorrows and troubles to your own.' "I could get but little information from her that night, but devoted myself to calming her excited nerves. As we slept side by side, I dreamed that my poor sister was bending over me and kissing me, and when I awoke soon after dawn she was gone. On the table was this note: "Mv BELOVED SISTER—I cannot remain a burden on you, and my heart is broken. Seek me not. Before you read this I shall be beyond the reach of thosewho would use me ill. Try to forgot and forgive your ever loving sister, "Mnu. "Yes, Mr. Somerville, that is the portrait of Myra, my adopted sister, and women born with the southern blood that is in my veins do not always forget or forgive."

There was a fierce, determined look in her face that was both grand and terrible. "And what was the end?" I asked. "Cannot you guess? The river! And listen to this. He never claimed his dead! I did so and identified her as Myra Horton, my sister, and told only as much at the inquest as I thought necessary. I laid her in her grave, and now I seek the man who killed her. Now that I have told you all," she added, "do you still refuse to give me his name? There can be no question as to his identity, for you say he spoke of her as his wife."

I was sorry that I had said so much, but was firm in refusing any further information. She seemed greatly disappointed and dispirited, until a thoughtseemed suddenly to occur to her, and sbe wished me good day and went out.

The sad story of Myra had depressed me very much, and I was troubled over the whole business. I decidqd^ however, tosay nothing to Mr. Ferdinand Bartley about the matter. That person called later in the day and received the picture. A cab was hailed, and he took the portrait inside with him and drove off.

I was standing at my door, and as I was about to close it I caught sight of a woman hastily entering a hansom, which followed the four wheeler of Mr. Bartley. A glance satisfied me that it was Julia. I then remembered that I had told her that he was coming for the picture that afternoon. What should I do? I looked along the street, but there was not another cab in sight. It was impossible to overtake him and warn him, and I did not know which way they had gone after turning the oorner. I rushed into my studio and found Mr. Bartley's visitiug card. It bore no address. It was therefore outof my power to do anything.

That night the newspaper boys were making a great noise in the street with-some sensational announcement, and I sent out for an evening paper. I read with horror the following

TRIUUBXJS Mtmtmn I» KKKSXHSTOB. Mr. Ferdinand Bartley, believed to be an Independent gentleman, was found dead tbi* afternoon in his flat atWestvUle Mansions. He was lying on the floor in a pool of blood, with an Italian stiletto piercing his heart. On the body was laid a slip of paper bearing the words, "From Myra's Avenger." There is, we believe, at present no other clew to the mnrderer.

I felt bound to come forward and give my evidence, but knowing the whole sad story I cannot deny that I am not sorry that Julia Horton has so far escaped arrest. —London Tit-Bits.

When I knew Paris, Taglioni had left the opera and Fanny Elsaler reigned supreme: the triumphant success, however, obtained by her in the "DiabJe Boiteux," financially advantageous as it proved to the management, was by no means relished by her lady colleagues, wSo, finding themselves during the long run of the ballet completely shelved, unscrupulously profited by any mode of annoying and embarrassing their obnoxious rival. One evening Burnt de iurgy, author of the libretto, knocked at the door of thecbarming dancer's roomand found her In a great state of excitement "My dear M. Burnt," she exclaimed, "1 am in a terrible rage. I have scarcely time to dress, and some one has stolen my chalk."

COMPARISON BETWEEN POPULATION OF TWO COUNTRIES..

Figures That Gf?o One aa Idea How Much

jfpre Rayh'ly StSt?? go* minion of Canadit Have Grown Than tiie Country Under British Rale, The area of British Columbia is nearly six times that of the adjoining state of Washington. Moreover, the population of, the former region in 1871 was 36,000, while that of the latter was but 23,000. On the other hand, while in 1891 the population of British Columbia had expanded only to 97,000, that of Washington had increased by 1890 to 349,090 and is now considerably greater. Let us now pass eastward to the second section of tbe Canadian Pacific which extends from Banff Hot Springs to Winnipeg, a distance of 922 miles. The area tributary to this section, including Manitoba and five organized territories of Canada, is about 800,000 square miles, or 16 times that of the state of New York. Yet the population of the whole region iu l&l was only 908,000, or one person to four square miles. It must not be inferred that the settlement of this part Of British North America began at a much later period than did that of tbe contiguous states of the Union. The contrary is the case.

A colony of well to do families, was planted near Winnipeg as early as 1811. Other colonies were soon afterward sent out from England and

were

We have now followed thTCan Pacific railway from Vancouver to Ottawa, a distance of 2,750 miles. How insignificant must be the earnings from local traffic can be judged from the fact that In the whole interval thet is only one town or city, Winnipeg, with a population exoeeding 5,000, and not more than five other towns containing over 2,000 inhabitants.

The fifth and sixth sections of tha Canadian Pacific carry us from Ottawa along the north shores of the Ottawa and St Law-rence-rivers to Montreal and Quebec and thence through the northern parts of Maine and the provinces of New Brunswick: and Nova Sootia to Halifax, a distance of upward of 1,000 miles. Aa the fifth section has to compete with the Grand Trunk railway, the local traffio upon it is not now profitable and can never be more so, seeing that the exodus from the province of Quebeo the past year has been equal to S per dent of the population, or 75,000, and if continued at this rate for 10 years would amount to 750,000. The sixth section of the road runs for the most part through a thinly peopled end poor agricultural country which, until its mineral resources are developed, cannot pay the operating expenses of the road.

How much hope there is of developing the mines under existing political conditions may be estimated when we point out that the gain in the population of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia between 1881 and 1891 was only 1}£percent We hear much of the coal mines of Nova Scotia and Oape Breton. As a matter of fact, in 1890 they produced only about 2,000,000, tons while theoutput of the American coal mines in the same year was nearly 150,000,000 tons. Jui equally significant contrast is presented in other mining Industries, Pig iron has been manufactured in Canada continuously for 166 years, yet In 1861 only 31,772 tons were produced, against nearly 10,000,000 tons in the United States.

These statistics ought to be kept continually before the eyes of the Canadian people. They cannot he disputed or explained away by the advocates of the British connection. They spell despair and ruin, unless the voters of the Dominion obey tbe Instinct of self preservation and resolve to oiter the pathway of prosperity through political union with the United, States.— Siw York San.

A lawn ftran BMS Swallows.

North of the city of Burlington lies a broad sand plain high above the level of Ca^plaltt, through which theCentral railroad was to be carried by a tunnel. The sand, desytutetrfmoistaiB, would not edteNvhat crumbled away as soon men excavation was made. After several costly trials the ra^neers decided that the tunndwasimpia^icahlefeicBn want o( means of sustaining the sand during tbe hoOding of the masonry.

A yotawinan in the engineers1 office said he could tunnel the sand bank at a small oost The managers quottiooed him.

provided with

lands in the valley of the Red River of the North. Many years elapsed before the settlement of Minnesota began. In 1847 St. Paul bad only three families of white inhabitants. The number of newcomers in 1849 was only 95, and the total population of the territory of Minnesota was at that date less than 5,000. What is the state of things today The inhabitants of the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis alone outnumber those of all Canada west of Ontario, while the population of Minnesota i~ nearly one-third as large as that of the entire Dominion. Could there be a more decisive proof that, Canada cannot attract immigration while she remains a dependency of a European monarchy?

We come next to the third section of the Canadian Pacific, which stretches from Winnipeg to Sudbury in Ontario, a distance of 981 miles. Contrast the population of the area tributary to this section, which does not exceed 75,000, with that of the contiguous states of Wisconsin and Michigan, which in 1890 had respectively 1,686,880 and 8,093,889. The mineral resources of this region of the Dominion are unquestionably great, but they must lie dormant until the Canadians have permanent free access to American markets or sufficient population to consume their own mineral products. The long winter which prevails along this part of the railway and the deep snows add enormously to the operating expenses of the road.

The construction, indeed, of this section of the line seems to have been a grave financial blunder, but it was defended in the OttaWa parliament by the frank avowal that it was unsafe to transport Immigrants to Manitoba via Sault Ste. Marie and St. Paul, as before the immigrant trains could leave St. Paul and Minneapolis they would be deserted, and people brought from Europe at the expense of the government of Canada would be lost forever iu the United States. Much the same thing may be said of the fourth section of tlie railway, whicb extends from Sudbury to Ottawa, a distance of 828 miles, through a sparsely settled but heavily timbered country. Here, again, the mineral capabilities are of indisputed value, but like those of the third section they will never be turned to account in the absence of political union with the United States. "N,

face of the sand bank he marked the line of an arch larger than the proposed tunnel. On tins line he drove into the bank sharpened timbers. Then be removed six feet of sand and drove in another arch of 12 foot timbers, removing six feet more of sand.

This process he repeated until he bad space enough to begin the masonry, fast as the masonry was completed the spK» ^boye it was filled, leaving the timbers place.

He plerctt! the bank with the cheapest tunnel ever built, which now stands as firm as on the day it was finished.

He was asked if there was any suggestion Of the structure adopted by him in the books of engineering. "No," he said, "it came tome in this way. I was driving by the place where the attempts were made and saw that a colony of swallows had Qpnade their homes in the bank. It occurred to me that these little engineers had disproved the assertion that the sand had no cohesion. As every swal low's home is a self sustaining tunnel with out masonry, 1 thought that by extending their method I could construct a larger tunnel. The bank swallow is the inventorI am simply bis imitator."—Chittenden's "Personal Reminiscences.''

For Needles and Thread.

In these days of much needlework and the revival of lacemaking, a bag for the safe keeping of needles and thread is con-, venient. The very pretty one shown in drawing has a nfeedlebook attached.

ATTRACTIVE WORKRAG.

Select some silk brocade of small design. Then with it cover two circular bits of cardboard about four inches in diameter and make a strip long enough to form the upper part of the hag, of -which one of the boards makes the bottom. Line the strip with soft silk and overhand it neatly to the edge of one of the covered boards, run in a casing near the top and add drawing strings of handsome ribbon.

Cut four rounds of white flannel the exact size of the covered boards and pink all the edges. Then lay them upon the bottom of the bag, with the second board covering them again, arid buttonhole all firmly together for the space of one-half inch.' Sew tiny ribbons to each of the boards exactly opposite the hinges. Fill the flannel rounds with -assorted needles and tie the book together with the ribbons provided for that service.

Feminine Timidity.

Newspaper paragraphs, often of a supposed humorous nature, regarding the bewilderment, confusion and inconsistent behavior of women at crowded street crossings, large railroad Junctions and places of similar character are common and are supposed to show that women have less self possession and composure in emergencies than the sterner sex. But a little observation will show that the women who exhibit these characteristics are either of an exceptionally timid, shrinking disposition, or, what is oftoner true, that they are the habitually sheltered, protected women to whom reliance upon another, generally a man, has become second nature. They are out of their element alone in crowded city streets or with the responsibility of a complicated journey upon their shoulders. Tbe rustic, in his visits to the metropolis, shows the same hesitation and bewilderment in the row and rumble and entangling corfusion of the crowded streets, while the woman of business and the alarmingly self possessed schoolgirl thread the mate with the utmost ooolness and self possession.—Philadelphia Press, t"

Face Yells.

The latest veiling is a fearful and wonderful design. The mesh is fine and comes only in dark brown. Over It are scattered white chenille dots, and the startling effect is completed by a white appliqued border. One dollar and twen-ty-five cents buys a yard of it.

Biutana Fritters.
