I think he must be in the parlor." And she half turned away. "So you did not expect me?" he said, still holding out his hand. Belle blushed and gave him her own.
"My cousin said you would call here next week; that Mrs. Roland had asked you to do so, and " "But you did not expect me to-day, and you did expect Mr. Graham! I have the name quite right?"

BY CLIO STANLEY. I mnst and will!" cried Anne Mortimer, throwing down the letter she was reading, and looking up with an angry glance at her cousin Belle, who stood by "the window carefully folding and putting away some rue old lace, which she had been mending. She was 25 years old; an only daughter; riroud, very rich, and accustomed all her Efe to have her own way. Her companion was two or three years younger than herself, with a face far more pleasing, though she was never called handsome; with a very modest fortune inherited from her mother, Mrs. Mortimer's half-sister; with a bright good-humored, unselfish way abont her that won many
friends.
"Is it a iest?" she asked faintly.
"It is sober earnest," he returned, laugh
ing a Utile. "Listen, dear! I love you dearly, and I want you to promise to be my
wife before I tell you anything more. "Be vour wife!"
"Yes. Does it seem so dreadful to yon? Ah, Belle, I can be very serious. I learned to love you in three days, but perhaps you
cannot learn so quickly."
Her hand was in his, his bps very nest her own, and as she looked up, he read her uOToiin the sweet nnlifted eves. The
next moment he had taken a lover's kiss.

h like me?" "If yon ask mo seriously," said Belle, a swift blush mantling her cheeks, "I believe him to be the seal of honor, and I cannot think he would " " You know him?" cried Anne; "and you will toll him" "I met him when I was at Edge Hill a month ago, hut it was only a brief acquaintance, for he left the next week to visit his mother and sister." "But you will tell him" I shall tell him nothing," Belle returned a little haughtily. She hesitated only a moment, then taking up her work, she left
tbe room--Tbi very afternoon," Miss Mortimer said, pulling a crumpled note from her pocket, 'Harry Graham will be here; bat I em sot such a goose as to wait for him. Perhaps he may fall in love with Belle, and if she plays her cards right she may get a husband yet. They could Kve, I suppose, on what they both have, but for my part, I need a great deal to make me contented!" And as Anne Mortimer was never one to linger when she had once made up her mind, her maid was called to pack her trunk, and at 2 o'clock she was driven to the station, and was soon on her way to the house of a friend in a neighboring city. Foot o'clock came, and as Belle was sitting in her own room, reading, a card was brought to her. "Harrv Graham!" she exclaimed. Then
going to the door, she said, "Mary, yon have made a mistake. This card was intended for my cousin. Did you not tell the gentleman she was not at home?" "I told him, and gave him the bit of a note she left for him." "So she has been too cowardly to tell him," Belle said to herself angrily, "but wounds him and goes away to avoid the sight of hia.pnin!" "He read the note," continued Mary, "and then he said, 'Will you oblige me by taking that card to her cousin, Miss Lacy? " "Very well, sav that I will be down in a
moment," Belle said, and closed tbe door. She stood for a moment looking at the oard, feeling angry with her cousin for having forced her into snch an unpleasant position, and sorry for the man whom Anne had so coolly wounded. Bat she must not keep him waiting, and with flashed cheeks and sparkling eyes she went slowly down the stairs, and opened tbe door of the library. For one moment she only saw a man's bock, and even in that brief moment, thouoht to herself. "Anne baa told him she
that I would adopt his name in place of my own. My mother consented. I was willing to do so myself, and I am the happy possessor of a million and a half in good securities, all of which I lay at your feet, my darling!" "And so you are really Norman! I liked the name so much," Belle stammered, brushing under his eager gaze. "Even my name shall be yours, little one.
How glad I am that yon like it!" Belle hid her face on his shoulder.
"I tried to make you see that I loved
von." he said at lencth: "but I wonld not
tell yon until I had seen my mother and told her all. She is glad, and waiting to
welcome you at Greystone. When will you come, dear, because I shall want you to
come to staff before long?"
And Belle promised all that he asked, and when she read the long letter which be
wrote to her cousin that afternoon, she
said aeain "I am sorry" but this time it
was (or Anne and not for herself.

in irmw. and a the news of the murder
spread from town to town, and from farm
to farm, strangers negan to come uoic up..u every train and by private conveyances, and the streets were thronged with people, early In the evening. The body of the assassin's victim was taken to tne depot about H o'clock to be forwarded to friends in Kochesler, Minn., and was escorted to the station by the Lakeside Band and fire company, the entire populace joiniug in the sad procession. Soon after groups of men were seen in everv locality talking earnestly, and it was evident that the prospect was good for a necktie party. At 10 nVlnob th urn-hell struck KahUUen's

A cry for a rope went up, and the cry was not in vain, for in less than a minute a noose was about his neck and he was being hurried down the street ns fast as the wild and furious mob could run. He was taken to a tree, hauled up, and, amid the fiendish veils of the mob. a volley of bul-
Hred into his bodv. Every man

This change was made m lsiii. m me same year Colonel Ho perfected his fan,mi mtarv nress. which is tbe basis of all
the better presses. It did its work with such raplilily that it was toon known as the "Lightning." As originally manufactured, it made possible the printing of 10.0(H) copies an hour. Now every press made on ' c nttntv i-ilau .-ail nrint from '20,000 to
25,000 copies. The iuvention made Colonel Hoe famous. It was an oven greater stride toward the perfection of the press than that taken bv his fatter in the invention of the cylindrical system. It created a revolution in newspaper printing. But the rot iry press is now largely stipe reeded by the greatest of all i-.,il H.w'k works, the web perfecting press.

lowered, anc when down only about hve feet fell oul of the bucke4 to the bottom. Caston at oi.su stejipedinte the bucfcst and ordered the men to lower him to rescue Close. Whsn down abou fifteen fet ha signaled th men to draw him up, which they did instantly. Wiu. nearly at the top, and utmost vithin reach, Caston tumbled out, joining Close at the brttom. It was then ascertained that the deadly gas was whliin three or four feet of the surface. Tae bodies were then lifted out with hooks attached to rope.
