Dalston asking him to pay a visit to the hall on a matter of deep importance. When he arrived there he was met with a kind­ ness that was loueliing Irom the lone!} and melancholy Squire. Though concealed be­ neath a calm exterior he was evidently labouring under some strong emotion. “ I have sent for you because there is

liui'nley, nilormed us nineteen inonllis ago that lor a long lime previous sue liad been a vielnii to kidney complaint. Darling pains, wliicli were like knile mrusls, altacKcu iiei in her back, parlieularly whenever sue stooped, or tried to lit I anything. So scveie were these pains at limes that sffe was quite incapacitated 7 and they would otien extend to her arms and shoulders. She tried a num­ ber of diff erent ‘ remedies,’ but they all tailed to do her any good. Just at this lime she learned of Doan’s backache kidney pills, and decided to give them a trial, so she got a box and began to lake them. When she had taken a lew doses the symptoms of kid­ ney disease began to disappear, and before many days had passed she was completely


cured. Nineteen months later Mrs. Kirshaw said:


" Nineteen months ago I gav^ a testimonial for Doan’s backache kidney pills, saying ( ( 7 7 ’,,,,,.,. that they had cured me of kidney trouble. I

He liad lung re- ’ garded the question of his parentage as a : hopelessly closed book, as one of those un- ■ solved problems ot which life is lull.

How strange the move­ ments of Providence that you ihus^ became the means of furnishuig that proof. Proin this I was led to the discovery of the trunk itself. Here are many little trinkets I re­ member worn by my wife, dear memorials of a now sainted one.” He laid upon the table a little locked of gold and coral, a pencil-case with name, a ring or two se with stones pretty in workmanship ana

to her, here are letters of enquiry in^ rela­ tion to my loss. This is her diary, and he opened a small volume with brief en­ tries in a small and delicate hand and f aded ink. “ I feel how sacred these records ol her thoughts so strangely forsaken and alone. I find she had thoughts of writing to my father. Then she determined when sufficiently recovered and you were old enough to travel to come here to Iredale and personally seek his help in the search of her husband. For this fateful yourney she had provided herself with her marriage certificate and the certificate of the birth

I have passed through days of anxiety but now the evidence is complete and it is a deep joy to me to w^.- eome you here to-day as my son and heir This joy has been increased by the fact that I had already learned to love you, to see in your face the linaments ol my Wi*e, and to discover in your character all that would make one proud to own } on as my son.

I can but trust that I shall always prove worthy of being your sou. You spoke of a miniature oi my inoiliei in your possession, may I see it r ' From an escritoire Mr. Dalston produced the miniature he had shown Mrs. Corbett on


a previous occasion. Robert looked upon it with deep inter­


est. This then was his mother wliose sad story had just fallen upon his ears. The mother who brought him to Iredale and died upon its threshold. So sweet a face, so sad an end; tears filled his eyes as he looked until the image became blurred and then the drops fell upon the face that looked up at him. Wiping away those tender tributes to a mother s memory he

’This was the lace I saw.’ “ I’erhaps denied the task of watching


over her child upon earth, it was hers to shield your steps as your guaraian angel. Who can tell what are the tasks that rove


may find in heaven.” His mind thus unlocked by his now lound


companion Mr. Dalston lingered long in memories of his wife the one great love ol his life and whose mysterious loss had cast


so dark a shadow over him. Interrupting himselt in one of these


reminisences lie exclaimed ” But I hear llie sound ol Mrs. Graliain s voice in me hall. i have invited her to meet you. ’ Ushered into the room and greeting the


Squire Mrs. Graham grasping llie hands oi her foster son cried '* My dear lad let me be the first to congratulate you on your good fortune to find your father after so many years and such a father too. 1 am so glad, ’ and the good woman hugged him as it he were still her boy as of old.

he said, as he disentangled himself Irom her embrace, “ I have to thank )ou for ail the kindness during all these years lor a poor little fellow who had no claim upon you, but to whom you have always been

ence to such a matter now, but between myself and Miss Corbett I confess there has grown an attachment. But this was lor- bidden by her father solely on the ground of my unknown parentage: In finding in you a father I find the removal of the bar­ rier as far as Mr. Corbett is concerned, I believe. I must’now recognise your right to speak, though I trust you will see no reason for opposing our engagement. “ We will be able to speak more fully


on this question later on for I have asked Mr. and Mrs. Corbett and their daughter, who has returned hoine., to dine with us


in honour of this occasion. ' It was with something of a flutter of ex-


pectancy that young Dalston waited m the drawing room later on belore proceeding in to dinner, for the arrival of the rector and his family. When the door opened Mrs. Corbett hurried to meet him and cordially congratulated him on his neivly found position.

REV. T. H. WAINIiIAN AT WHALLEV. Before a large attendance at the IVhul-

by our troops, (hear hear). In his recent lecture Mr. Wainman des­


cribed his experiences at Golenso, Spion Kop, Vaal Krautz and Monte Ghristo. On Monday he followed this up witli graphic descriptions of events at the relief ol Lady­ smith, Sundays River, Biggarsberg, Dundee, Newcastle, Ingogo Heights, Lalng's Nek, Majuba, etc. Vvhen he got to the top ot Monte Christo, he continued, after our ineii had stormed the hill, almost the lirst officer he met was Col. Kitchener, the brother of Lord Kitchener. He congratulated the Col. on the achievement, remarking that it was really wonderful how his men had taken the hill under a hail of shells and bullets that was sufficient to take one’s breath away, “ Pardre,” returned the Col., “ 1 never want to lead anythuig better than the British infantry.” During the whole of tlie upward march the Boers were “ pop­ ping ■' at them, and then when 'Toimny got near tlie top the Boers got their horses and galloped away. The position of the Boers was a very strong one, and he iiiclhied to the opinion that had the japs or the Brit­ ish held the position no one would have moved tliem out of it. 'The efforts of the British on the relief march to Ladysmiali were really magniffeent, considering wiiat the men were continually put to. During the last struggle into Ladysmith they were eighteen days and nights in the Uenches, and it was raining nearly all the time, a great many of the men being witbout either coats or blankets, and having to walk about during the night to keep themselres

side Ladysmith was loud iu his praises to the lecturer of the treatment ot the British. 'That must always be the case said Mr. Wauiman. The British were not barbari­ ans, and if a Boer and a I ommy were in need both would be cared for just the same. “ Yes, that seems to be the case,’ said the man, “ but in our camp we were always warned not to let the British get hold of us, or if tliey did they would cut us up like butchers. Now I see it is different. "That man's name,” went on the lecturer, “ was John Brigg, whoresided near Johan­ nesburg, at Dooran Kop, and was the \ ery man who owned the farm where Jameson had been beaten and captured. I mention this to show that on our side there was not that brutality which has sometimes been made out by those so ready to cry down their own people and their own country.


(Applause). It was impossible, said Mr. Wa'uuuan,


to describe what Ladysmith was like. How anybody existed in the town he did not know. Outside Ladysmith tlie troops had the most dreadful time he had to record^ of the whole experiences in Africa. The country around the town was stamped with disease. 'The Boers— and he did not say


this with any unkindly feeling— were not of the same cleanly habits as the English peo­ ple. Before very long the whole of the live hospitals, each capable of holding five hun­ dred men, were full. Numerous complaints had been made about our treatment of the Boer women and children, but let them pic­ ture to themselves the conditions, and they would say with liim that tliey could not have done any better for them. They had to remember that war was not a picnic j it was a barbarous thing, but tliuse peopld wanted war and they liad to suffer as otliers had.

After all their


struggles they had to die. Concluding with a reference to Majuba


the lecturer said the Hill did not seem one of extraordinary difficulty after what the men had gone through, but at the same time the cfscent was by no means a light task. It was prepared so magnificently that he be­ lieved if Gen. Buller had brought them on and assaulted the position, they would have had one of the most lamentable I’esuUs of the whole war. He formed a high opinion of the British Soldier. He had no reiiom in him.

-------------- KELSON “ GHOST.”


CAUSES MUCH DEBATE AT ENGINEERS' -VRMS.


THt


STIRTTUALISTS INTEND TO INVESTIGATE.


The Engineers' aVrms, Nelson, is ai pres­


ent the centte ot unusual curiusiiy owing lo the alleged appearance during ihe wilchaig hours ot a ghostly visitant. A few weeks ago the landlord, a Mr.


Robert Adams, died rather suddenly, and since then the present proprietor, Mr. Cook- son, and lus lamily have had their slum­ bers disturbed by mysterious noises. Um scare is just now causing no little sen.saiiun


in the town. A press representative who has visiled


the house was told that last week, duraig the early hours of the morning, uneamiy sounds were undoubtedly heard proceedin;; from the bar. 'They were lirst noticed by one of the daughters, who said she distinct­ ly heard someone walking about and open­ ing the door of the bar. She ai om e aroused Mr. Cooksun, who made a se.irch of the prem'tses, but the “ ghost ’ had vanished. Subsequently a louiidryman rushed in the Engineers wiih eyes staring and haggard face, and conveyed the in­ formation that ho had actually seen tne


ghost of the late Mr. Adams. Another night a sound of falling plank-i


was heard. It was just as if the house was falling to pieces said one of the diuigli- ters. She also stated that she never mi­ tered a certain room without experiencing a most uncanny sensation. The other morning she heard footisteps behind her and rushed downstairs, but there was no apparent cause for her fright. Severn


of the household are certainly in of alarm, but one little daughter takes a


more materialist view' of the spdO business and offens to escort her sisteis up


stairs for a iienny. The ghost story is also proving prolitaha’ . , ,,


to I he landlord on account of the of interested customers who crowd tit house nightly to discuss the weird business.
