Accept this packet then; it is yours to do with as you think beat, and I cannot but be thankful for the chance whieb has thrown you in my way."

A packet dropped into Muriel Warners

lap as these words were spoken. The boat rocked slightly as the tall figure sprang upon the shore, and then she was alone in the' darkness upon the river.

After this she wandered about the world, woman whose life and feelings seemed

benumbed forever. She knew what bad happened at Bocky Hill, but she bad no

She had no wish to return to the friends

who had grown cold when misfortune came upon her. She knew that Balpb Bessegnie bad made her a wealthy woman, but she felt none of tbe scruples which she once would have felt about accepting bis

A later collar has very deep turned-over points, the points are the depth of the collar, they look well with high-open dog collars, but not with an ordinary dress collar. Embroidered collars are also shown, but as jet tbej are not so much worn as the plain linen. Linen ruchings which are flat resemble a collar when on the neck.

But her time of awakening came, and

the one to stir the dormant emotions of her

woman's heart was a stranger, and a man.

K was at the Bahama Islands where she

first met Norman Van Ness.

He was 40 years of age a Hercules in

the fullness of his manhood, and he

seemed to be attracted, nay, to love her from the very first.

Her deep blue eyes soon grew to watch

for him, and became soft and tender beneath the light in his dark ones, and with the growth of her new love many of the feelings of her youth came back to her.

Father and mother, long forgotten, be

came dear once more to her, and often she caught herself thinking.

"If he ever speaks, and if after I have

told him all, we are ever married, I will get him to take me home to my parents."

But he did not speak. Weeks grew into

months, and the longed-for love-words

never came. J&nnei s nean again oegaa

quivering with pain. She knew now that its numbness had departed forever.

Sometimes she felt that she ought to

move oa; to get away from influences which tote than likely would prove saddening to

her, but she could not at once bring herself

to do this.

While she was debating the subjectin

her mind the crisis came.

A storm had been sweeping over the

Bahamas, a vessel was going to pieces upon the reef. Muriel was out upon the wavewashed shore, her eyes bright and her

cheeks rosy with excitement. Her golden brown hair had been loosened by the driv

ing wind, and she was that rare but de-

Boons creature, a woman beautiful wnen she is mature.

Norman Van Ncsa was by her side, and.

Muriel expressed a wish to row out near to the life-saving boats which ware battling

with the waves, and overladen with human bein whom they had rescued in a half-

drowned state.

'Letme be vonr boatman," pleaded Van

Ness, and Muriel could not repress her thoughts, which whispered to her of that

long-forgotten night when her husband s

murderer had been her boatman.

The strong man took his place at the

Out over tbe waters they rowed to

gether, tbe dreadful past rising so strongly before the woman that she had no thought

of the man so near to her.

"Muriel," said he in a low voice; 'Muriel, Muriel. I love you, I love you, but

I have no right to say these words to you. Muriel, have yen never thought that I might be Balph Bessegnie?"

"Can it be?" she said, slowly. "I did not

see jour iwse by daylight, you know."

"Yes, it is I. a married man and a mur

derer, but still I love you, Muriel."

'And I love you," she said, in a tone of

despair.

They were nearing toe life-boate now,

and one of the crew shouted:

"Van Ness, we cannot go back just yet,

and here is a man and a woman who need immediate attention, if they are not already dead. We will put them in your

boat, andvfou can take them ashore.

Beady hands laid the dripping Docues in

the bottom of we boat, and with strong strokes and averted head Balph Bessegnie pulled for the shore.

When they were nearing land he glanced

for toe first time at his burden.

"My God, my wife!" he cried. "And Fred Warner," said Muriel, with a

thrill of relief and horror.

It was true. Fred Warner had not died, and the deed which had made these two wanderers upon the face of the earth, had been a fares, after all.

The days of the guilty pair on earth were

numbered. Mabel Bessegnie never re

catered consciousness. Fred Warner

lived few days, long enough to ask the

forgiveness of the two he had wronged, and then expired.

Balpb Bessegnie and Muriel Warner were married, and returned to Muriel's old borne, where in the sunshine of happiness the dark days of their lives were forgotten.

Etegant Latxt Ua ndkerch tof. The latest handkerchief is one edged with a very narrow border of Dutchess lace. The patterns are very dainty and the corners are turned with a pointed piece in the pattern which is deeper than the zest Point handkerchiefs are to be worn by those who can afford to put a good round sum in trifles of the toilet. The lace itself is about two inches deep and the whole handkerchief is small. Handkerchiefs of the above sort are not much in the pocket; they embellish (he hand, or laid in a heap with the fan,

or they are elegant to drop if there are

Black dresses for evening have a low velvet corsage, with tulle skirts that

have flounces across the front and sides,

while the full tulle back breadths are

striped lengthwise with velvet ribbon three or four inches wide. The fancy

for silver trimming is seen in a beaded passementerie that edges the waist at top and bottom, and in silver bow-knots

that are mounted above the festooned flounces that cross the front, each scal

lop being further marked by a long-

stemmed-rose pale pink or else yellow not quite full-blown, and posed with the flower hanging down. Short black tulle dresses have layers of tulle in ballet-dress fashion, with the only decoration a bouquet of pale roses on

one bin or on both, and flot bows of

moire ribbon. A trailing vine of roses

crosses the low corsage like an order,

beginning on the right shoulder, and

crossing to the waist-line on the left. Ores HandkmhUf.

Besides lace handkerchiefs there are some beautiful ones with a draw thread

or two, or with two tiny tucks, or with a slight tracery embroidery. These are all dress handkerchiefs and are very

pretty. Very fine handkerchiefs with

scalloped edges are new and are dainty.

They come in all white, and then the colors are sometimes solid and again they are mixed. One of these had the scallops done in orange, and the border embroidery in cardinal and black. One with a blue edge had the wreath-like border in blue and pink, Besides these

there are others in red and white,

orange and black, pink and cardinal,

brown and yellow, and so on through

the list; in the words of a purchaser,

"they are so pretty and so very stilish-looking."

Children's handkerchiefs have borders which are not very deep ; the more brilliant colors are selected for both boys

and girls. JTeac Ball FaMM

Some of the greatest efforts have

been made to devise novelties in materials for evening wear.

Used as we have seen to delicate

colors, materials, and patterns, we will

have all combined for this winter. The

most delicate tints in tulle are shown,

both plain and ornamented with chenile

and beads.

A lavender tulle, with a quince-shaped outline filled with lavender chenile dots, is a new pattern which combines

beauty and grace. Lavender tulle and

net with pearl beads is another style.

A shell pink net, with a blue wax bead,

is a new combination.

But the newest thing out in thin

goods is a silky looking tissue, with crosswise stripes made by closing the

tissue at regular intervals. The only

color on our counters is a tint which is

neither cream nor tobacco brown, but

between the two. It is a lovely fabric

used alone or-to combine with other

frail fabrics.

Colored, raised chenile patterns on light tints of tulle are also shown, and

will be used as trinunings to plain

tulle,

Black satin dresses of very rich quality are decorated with steel or with silver passementeries, and made up in the new severe styles for afternoon

visiting dresses. The passementeries in pointed designs, or with a short fringe on the lower edge, are laid along

the edges of front pleats, of panels, of

squares on the hips, of the short boxpleats across the hips, and down the

straight edges of the back breadths, where they turn backward as revers.

A favorite design with such dresses

omits all cross-folds or drapery in front

and on the sides, being made of three or four very wide pleats turned forward from each side, meeting at the belt, and falling open below to disclose a smooth

Y-shaped panel in front that is crossed at the foot with three rows of fringe, es

pecially the new fringe of silk cord

with jet, or silver, or steel beads in drops on each strand. The pointed

passementerie then trims each wide

pleat along the edge. Another distinguished design has the smooth, satin panel in front, extending back at the top to form a great box-pleat across

each hip, all edged with steel fringe

while below this on each side is a full

straight breadth, gathered in two bunches of shirring half-way down, and

edged with fringe at the foot,

At one of the President's recent re

ceptions one gray-headed gentleman

whose long white beard extended below the bottom of his waistcoat, placed his

mouth close to the President's ear and

said in a voice loud enough to be heard

in the most extreme corner of the room

"Yon are the best President this

country has ever had, and the people

in my section of Pennsylvania are stronger than ever for you." The man

was quite deaf and really thought he was whispering. Mr. Cleveland found considerable difficulty in making himself

understood in replying to the coniph-

niont, and as a last resort was compelled to indicate his appreciation by a vigorous and repeated nodding of tbe

head. There was one small boy who,

as he took the President's hand, said to him that he htid once met him iu New York. Mr. Cleveland looked at the lad for a full minute, then called him by name and mentioned tbe time and place the littlo boy had called upon him. Tbe President's faculty for remembering names and faces is remarkable. The boy had called to see him with his mother on last Decoration Day, when the President was stopping at the Gilsey House, and had seen him but for a minute or two.
