Oar Saturday Supplement.

Our Supplement this week contains the conclnding portion of the t.ile " His One Mistake." Readers who have followed the trying vicissitudes that have atteudod the caveer of the heroic wife of Lord Carsdale will he pleased to learn that at the end all comes right. Lord Carsdale seeks and discovers his wife, nod after obtaining hoi forgiveness for past neglect, they leave for Vienna, where, m the course of a fow months, Lady Carsd<de is known as one of the most beautiful and brilliant ornaments of a brilliant court. She is happy beyond, all words m her husband's love and he had learned to value her. They remained there six years. Dining that time Lady. Gertrude and Lady Helen had been married, and there was nothing but good news from Lady Oarsdale's family. Through the influence of Lord Carsdale, Rose's lover, the Reverend Cuthbert Lodes, has been presented with a good living m Yorkshire, where he and hisamiable wife lived the happiest of lives! Frank has made his mark, and bids fair to be one of the leading civil engineers of (In day. John Derwent and his wife had retired to a very pretty little farm m the sunniest part of Kent, where they lived as they had never hoped to live^ and Hettio was with them. Nothing but good news from all paits of the world, and Lady Ailie Carsdale rejoiced iv it. Meantime the banishment of Lord Carsdale from his ancestral home continued. At length, through the instrumentality of Lady Ethel, Lady Carsdale's two beautiful children suddenly appeared as the TCarl and Countess of Waljdrovo sat at breakfast, the same unspoken thought lying deep m the hearts of both— an intense longing to have their son near thorn again. The gifted novelist thus describes the scene." Thero was a little girl with a face like a rosebud, lovely, laughing eyes, and sweet lips, with shining golden hair that lay over the whitest shoulders ever seen — a little fairy, full of grace and dignity. She looked neither to the right nor to the j left, but went straight up to the earl, and standing m front of him, raised her lovely, limpid eyes to his face. " Will you please forgive' my mamma?" she said. A handsome, dark-haired boy, with a true Carsdale face, and dark; flashing eyes— a frank, bold, brave boy, who won her heart at a glance, went up to Lady Waldrove, and said : " Will you forgive my papa ?" " God bless me !" cried the earl. " Who are these ? Who are you. my dear ?" " I am Lucie Carsdalo," cried the little fairy. " And I," said the boy, "am Stephen Carsdale—named after my grandfather, the grand old earl." "And who sent you here ?" " Papa and mamma sent us. Papa bids me say he loves you both, and he longs to come home to you. He says you will love mamma when you know her." It was useless for the countess to speak, for the earl hud clasped both the pretty messengers m his arms. "I should refuse the angels' of God," he said, "if I "refute you." "Shall you forgive our boy ?"' said the countess. And the grand old earl, m & faltering voice, said : " I will, I will, as I hope to be forgiven." There was still another surprise for them. Lady Ethel followed the little ones into the room. •• lam an uninvited guest," she said ; " but, I am sure,* a welcome one. I have brought these dear children. Lord and Lady Carsdale wait! outside." The next moment the son was m his mother's arms, and the earl had embraced his son's wife. It was the prettiest sceue ever witnessed, and one which must have made the a.igels smile. They lived happily ever afterwards. The countess learned to love very dearly the ( beautiful, graceful woman who was her son's wife. There was no more popular lady in' England than ii&dy Carsdale ; . but, when she is speaking seriously, she says there is no greater folly than that of ari unequal marriage." Thus ploasaut- ( ly ends the eventful story, which seems to have completely infatuated with an indescribable charm all who have read it. W N e do not wonder that so many.inqniries have been made at our local booksellers', Messrs Welch and Co., for thr book" itself, as all readers have confessed to a great, almost uncontrollable deßire"to learn the final ending before the Supplement revealed it. We teel great satisfaction at having so completely hit the popular taste m this exquisitely written story. We hope to announce shortly the commeneemant m our Saturday Supplemeut of another serial tale of equal merit and attractiveness. The other portions of to-morrow's Supplement are we.ll arranged, and should satisfy the most exacting and matfer of-fact reader. In our illustrated Christmas Supplement we can promise some very interesting and appropriate stories, with suitable illustrations. We are pleased to. learn from readers all over the district that our efforts to supply an interesting Saturday Supplement have been thoroughly appreciated, and due credit is accorded us for the enterprise we have 'displayed m this direction as compared with other district newspapers.
