INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHAPTER II.—(Continued.) In a moment the kitten, a little the worse for wear and tear, was safely in her mistress’ arms, and a groat fuss did she make over it. In the midst of ft, Dick Alymer, knowing that his \ fretful horse was dancing about on the other side of the house, said good by again and escaped. "And, by Jove!” lie said, as ho turned out of the gates, "she does not know my name either. I seem hound to be mysterious today, somehow or other. Evidently she mis took mo for Haines or, rather, she mistook me for the other In the mat ter of names. Ah, well, she's going away tomorrow, and I don’t, suppose I shall see her again, or that it matters in tin east whether she calls me Har ris, cr Haines, or Alymer," and then he ad led to the horse, "(Jet along, old man, will you?” He darkened the pace, however, when he got to the turn of the road which aklrted the sloping meadow m front of (he Hall where "she" lived, and the horse crawled up the side of the hill as If it had been an Alpine bight instead of a mere bend of the road. Hut there was no sign of her. As h<> passed he caught a glimpse of the gay flower-beds and a big tabby cat walking leisurely across the terrace, 'nit Dorothy Strode was not to be seen, and when Richard Aylmer recognized that .’.id he gave a Jerk to the reins and sent the horse flying along in the direction of Colchester as fast aj his four good legs would carry him. CHAPTER nr. OROTIIY STRODE said very little to , her aunt about the m gentleman who had from I.aily Jane’s tennis party. Not that she voluntar ily kept anything back, but In truth there was very lit tle for her to tell, very .ittIf* that sh>* could tell. The language of love Is an eloquent one, but when you are one of the principal persons concerned you cannot give to another the history of a pressure of the hand or a look of the eyes and still less of tone of the voice which tells you ail too eloquently of the state of feelings which you cause in that other one. Vet wt* n Miss Dimsdale came home from Colchester, having been fetched from Wrabness Station In an ancient victoria which had seen better days, •drawn by a pair of cobs which, let use r..f i ifully hope, would npver see worse than they enjoyed in sleek com for [ resent, she dutifully—av, ami with [ a,--ure- gave her an animated description of the party. How Lady Jan*! had specially asked for her and had sent her dear love to her; how -sorry -he was, and everybody else, that Miss Dimsdale had had to go and see that tiresome lawyer on that particular .afternoon; how Lady Jane had told her that her new white fret'k was ex qui. i:>, and that she ought always to w i. sleeves because they became her so weli, and finally how there had been ( tie ef the officers from Colchester at the party and she hail been his part ner ;n several games of tennis, and finally that Lady Jane had sent him to sco her ifely to the gate. ’’Our gate. 1 m ii:.

She began then to tell Dorothy all about her day in Colchester. What the lawyer had said, how she had been to the bank, and looked In at the sad dler’s to say that the liarnets of the little cob which ran In ihe village cart must he overhauled and generally looked to. Then how she had found tlm.* to go In the fancy-work shop and had bought one or two new things in that line, and last of all how she had been in to the Jeweler's to get a new watch-key and had there seen a won derful belt of silver coins which some one had sold for melting down, and this had been offered to her at such a reasonable price that she bad oe-en tempted to buy it. "Auntie!” died Dorothy. "Oh. I did not say it was for you, child," said Miss Dimsdale promptly. Dorothy’s face fell, and Miss Dims dale laughed. "There, child, there, I won't lease you about It. There it Is on the chimney-shelf." And Dorothy naturally enough jumped up anil ran to open the box in which the belt was packed, opening it eagerly, and uttering a cry of delight when she saw the beautiful ornament lying within. It was a lovely thing, and in her pleasure and pride at the possession of it Dorothy almost forgot her new admirer, Mr. Harris. Not quite though, for when she slip ped it on over her pretty white dress and ran to the pier-glass between the windows of the drawing-room to see the effect of it, she suddenly found herself wondering how he would thin!: she looked in it, and instantly the swift color flashed Into her cheeks, no that sue riuruiy linen to huh ubck hi face the gaze of her aunt's calm, far seeing eyes. Miss Dimsdale meanwhile had walk ed to the window, and was looking out into the soft evening dusk. "Some one is coming along the drive,” she said. "I think it is David Stevenson.” A gesture of impatience was Dor othy's answer, a gesture accompanied by an equally impatient sound, but she never thought of making good use ef | her time and escaping out of the room, as a girl brought up in a town might have done. No, she left the glass anti went across the room to the table where her work-basket stood, and took up an elaborate table-cover which she had been working at in a more or less desultory fashion for six months past, and by the time David ! Stevenson was shown in she was stitching away as if for dear life. Miss Dimsdale, on the contrary, did not move from the window until she heard the door open, then she went a few steps to meet him. “Good evening, David,” she said very kindly. "How very nice of you to come in tonight! We have not seen you for a long time.” "No, I've been dreadfully bus),” he answered, "and 1 am still, for the mat ter of that. But 1 hadn't seen you for a long time, and I thought I’d come over and see how you were getting on.” “That was very good of yen," said Miss Dimsdale; then she moved to the b if I Iff bell and rang it. "We will have a Unlit; the evenings are closing : < very fast.” “Yes.” lie answered. Then he went across where already his eyes had wandered to Dorothy, who was brave.1)' sev.lng away in the dusk. "How are you. Dorothy?” he naked. "I urn unite well, thank you. David." she replied.

CHAPTER IV. — OWEVER, In the \ face of her mint's distinct command, she had no choice 1 but to remain where she was, and she took up the work again and be gan a-stitching ve hemently as If she would fain sew her vexation into the David Stevenson, on the contrary, was more than well satisfied at the way in which matters bad fallen, and In wardly blessed that trouble of Janet Benham's as much as Dorothy did the contrary. He jerked his chair an Rich or so nearer to hers, and leaned for ward with his elbows upon his knees. Dorothy sat up very straight Indeed, and kept her attention strictly upon her work. "Who was that fellow I saw you talk ing to this afternoon, Dorothy?" he asked. "A man that Lady Jane asked to see me home,” answered Dorothy, promptly. "Oh, you have been to Lady Jane’S?" in a distinctly modified tone. "Yes, 1 had been to Lady Jane's," returned Dorothy, matching a hit of yellow silk with minute care. “Why didn't you go?” "Because I wasn't asked," said lie curtly. "Lady Jan* never asks me now —she's taken a dislike to me." "Well, I can't help that," said Dor othy, indifferently. "I don't know so much about that.” he said, rather gloomily. "1 think you might if you liked. Not that I want you to trouble about It, or that I care a single brass farthing about Lady Jane or her parties. In any case, I should only go because I might meet you there." "Oh. that's a poor enough reason,” cried Dorothy, flippantly. There was very little of the mute lover about David Stevenson, and whenever he found that Dorothy was, in spite of good opportunities, slipping further and further away from hint, he always got Impatient and angry. “Well I don't know that you’re far wrong there,” he retorted, in a tone which he tried with {he most indiffer ent success to make cool and slighting. "However, her ladyship has left off asking me to her entertainments of late, and i don't know that I feel any the worse man for that. So you met that fellow there, did you?’’ “You don’t suppose I picked him up op the road, do you?” demanded Dor othy, who was getting angry, too. David drew In his horns a little. “No, no, of course not," he said sooth ingly. “I bad nu right to ask any thing about him, only everything ! you do and everyone you speak to in terests me. 1 wanted to know who he was. that was all.” "Then,” said Dorothy, with a very dignified air, ‘ you had better go and ask I,ady Jane herself. She can tell you, and 1 am sure she will. I know very little about the gentleman—jtut his name and very little besides." David Stevenson sat back in his chair with a groan; Dorothy Strode stitched away furiously, and so they sat until Miss Dimsdale came back again. "H m," her thoughts ran, “quarreling again." Dorothy looked up at her aunt and spoke in her softest voice. "Wh t was the matter with Janet, auntie?” sh» asked. (To he continued.) HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH uermaii writer tna r iiaiirellor Speculated nn stale Secrets. From London Truth: A pamphlet has recently appeared In Germany en titled “Bismarck and Blelehroeder." Its author is a member of the old Junker party of the name of Diehat Bal er, and it profe. es to f ive some curious do tails in regard to the present fortune of ttie ex-chancellor and how tt was acquired. After the German war of 1 STB the prince received from the coun try two estates of no great value which coupled with his own paternal estate, brought him in u fair revenue. He then left Uleichroedsr to luok after his private monetary affairs, with the re sult that lie now has a fortune amount ing to 150.000,000 marks. Till-. the author contends, can only have been made by stock exchange speculations, based on the knowledge thit ths prince derived from his position at the head of the German government, and which he rounded to llletehroeder. That, with the cares of empire on his shoulder*, he left his monetary affa rs in the hand* of his hanker is very possible, and equally possible Is It that tils banker did the ties! for 111* client.

Dear Friends of Saginaw:- Those de siring to secure a good and sure home will do well to take our advice, and examine the land In the neighborhood of Alameda, as we know that every one who sees this land will be agree ably surprised. Before seeing this land we were partly In doubt as to moving here, but after looking It over we at one« decided to make our home here, and we beg those of our friends who ire desirous of securing farms, not to let this chance slip by, as the soli Is of the best and the water ran not be excelled. The finest wheat wo ever saw is also raised here. We shall return home In haste, straighten out our affairs, and move here at once. Yours truly, (Signed) WILLIAM GOTTOWSKI, ALBERT MAI, WILLIAM HIEDEL, Of Saginaw. Winnipeg, Man., Sept, 10, 1897. Mr. M. V. Melnnes, Chief Coloniza tion Agent, Detroit, Mich. Dear Sir:— We are pleased to state to you that we have found the country In the vicinity of Alameda fully up to what you and Mr. Keller had represented it to he. It Is, In fact, an ideul location for mixed tanning. The soil Is the best wo ever saw, and as the farmers were all busy at threshing, wo had an excellent chance to see Its productive quality, which cannot be surpassed anywhere. I ho cattle could not be in better con dition We saw two year oil steers equal to three year old raised In most place*!, and these, as are all others about Alameda, were fed on native hay In winter and herded in summer. As we had previous to this visited the Northwestern States In behalf of a "»ise numuer or rarmers, to locate suitable land for mixed farming, we are now in a position to say that the Alameda district of Western Canada surpasses them all. The country is equal to that about Thuringen in Ger many. We were rather sceptic before starting, and our intention was to set tle in spring, if we were suited, but we have now decided to move at once; that is, as early this fall as we pos sibly can. We left Mr. Riedel at Alameda, and take hack his report, and we will take iiis family und effect* with us when we go. Yours sincerely. (Signed) AL1IKRT MAI KURD GOTTOWSKI. ■ aldington. Mich.. Nov.

A friend of mine, living on New riv er, In an adjoining county, was the fortunate owner of a superb black set ter railed Don, says a writer In th® Richmond Dispatch. ITc was a splen did dog In the field, and by far the best retriever I ever shot over. While we were hunting one day In the low grounds near the hank of the river, a gang of wild dtnks alighted In Ih® stream "tlthln shooting distance. My ronip'i.lcn at once fired Into them, killing on» and wounding another so that tt. coul 1 not Py. The current was sonuv.iat rapid, hut about 100 yards belov j s:nall Inland had been formed. Dor., n*m. by the way, seemed to revel In »vv .?', was at once sent out Into th® stream to bring the game ashore. But when i f. attempted the task he was great iv perplexed. He could not mouth both <tl tun ducks at one time, for th® wounded bird would escape from him every time he n'fempted to take up th® other one. Do evidently saw It would not do to come out with only one and leave the other.for If he left the wound ed one It would hide and escape before ho could swlrn to the bank and then return for It, and If he brought the wounded duck first the current would soon carry the dead duck beyond recov ery. He made several Ineffectual ef forts, seemingly, to solve tho problem how to save both birds before he suc ceeded In accomplishing the task, and by this time the water had floated th® ducks close to the Island. This was Don’s opportunity, and he grasped th® situation at once. Seizing the dead duck, he swam rapidly to the upper point of the Island and laid It down on the sand, and then dashed Into the wat er again In pursuit of the disabled on®. He soon overtook and captured It, and at onre struck out for the bank where we were standing. As goon as ho reach’d us ho went up to his master, who received the game from him. In stantly. when this was done, he plunged into the stream again, and, reaching th® Island, took up the dead duck and again reached 11s with his trophy.
