"Has she coraoT" asked Sir Reginald Glendenning of Lady Constance, as he distinctly heard a carriage -stop before the door, and his own coachman's voice speaking to the horses. "She has; shall she be brought directly to your presence?" "Yes; and see to It that no ono enters this room nntll they aro summoned, as I wish to seo this girl alone. Do you hear? Alonel entirely alone!" replied tho Baronet. "You will be obeyed. No one shall disturb yon. Shall I order Matthew to put up the horses?" "No; tell him to waft tor further notice!" Lady Constance- withdrew, and very soon reopened the door, to usner in ana present-to her sick husband Ethol Neverfrail, his sister's adopted nieco, then in stantly retired, closing tho door behind her. Very beautiful looked the young girl as she stood by the sldo of the bed, her heavy crape veil thrown back, revealing her sad, sweet lace ana large, pitying eyes. "Ohl sir," said she, after an eager, yot half-haughty greeting, I griovo to 80S you so helpless! JJavo you Just been inJudre?" "Yes; this morning l was tnrown from my horse, and am to lio here helpless for months. I sont for you, then, In ati9wer to a letter received a few jnomonts before the accident from my glstor, written before her death. In that she asks me to give you a homo for four months in return for any service I may wish ren dered. I sent, because I need assistance immediately of a very peculiar nature. Are you willing to undertake it, at a fair salary?" "wobaoiy I can ten Better wnon i hear what the duties will be." "Before I tell you that I wish you to hand me the small Bible you see upon that table." With wondering eyes Ethel reached him the book. "Tho duties to bes performed aro of a purely confidential nature. No human being must-know what I tell you, whether you accept the charge or not. Wife, nephew, niece, man servant nor maid sen ant must ever know that you do more than read to and amuse me, write my letters, and attend to my daily business affairs. The true duties, will bo performed in half an hour each evening alone. Will you swear on this book to keep my secret?" "I will swear it you will assure mo that these duties can bo done with a pure conscience, and that they are perfectly proper for mo to do. " "I assure you you can do them with perfect propriety. Will you take tha oath?" "I will," came from the lips of the trembling girl, reluctantly, it must bo confessed, but still it came, because of the promise given to her dying aunt that she would not refuse his offer. "Then kiss that book and repeat after me these words: 'I, Ethel Nevergail, swear I will tell no person the nature ot my nightly duties, and that 1 win perform them to the best of my ability.' " Again Ethol shuddered, yet did as he required; and, after kissing tho book, re peated tho words. "Sit down. now. and come very close. so you can hear, while I whisper tho secret, for 'even walls have ears' has sometimes been said. "Now," he continued, "listen to me intently. I have in my possession a very rare animal one entirely unknown. It is the property of a friend, and I am se cretly taking care of it for him. Ho is absent now abroad searching for more wonders to add to a collection. Un his return he is going to exhibit all, and expects to realize a fortune by doing so, which I am to share. Now, although wealthy, I love money, and always have; therefore I take every care of this creature in order to obtain more gold. No human being, save myself and Its owner, is aware of its existence. It is hidden in a ruined part of this house in fact. In a concealed .room, the existence -of which no one knows but myself, and in close connection with,- but not In, a place we call 'The Haunted Tower.' "This tower is not haunted, really, but I pretend that It Is, in a way I shall tell you of some other time, in .order to koep prying eyes from off my treasure. "Now. what I wish you to do is this: I myself have always fed this ape, or onrang-outang, for it possesses some ot their nature, and if he is not auendod to he will starve. About ten every evening you are to do this for me. "A basket is always standing In a certain place in the ruined part A person I pay well comes every evening, under a promise of secrecy, and puts food in it. You mast get this basket, go through a long covered corridor that connects this tower to tho main building, and opens directly into a small hall or passageway near your room, and tho door from your room is hidden by a wardrobe. "Open it and pass through, taking a knife of a peculiar shape that you will And In a bookcase drawer in your room, together with plenty of candles and matches for your use, also there; and to this drawer I will give you tho key.

Take ono, with a lighted candle, 1 say, go down tho passage to tho tower, then count on tho wall from tho door that leads up tho tower stairs, backward, threo panels; into a seeming crack that you will sco thoro Insert tho knifo-point, and then turn it around throe times, when tho panels will fly apart, rovenling a small opening, where a sot of revolving irou shelves will be soon. On these place tho food. Water Is in tho room, where tho croature can holp himself as he wishos it Keep and restoro tho basket to its place; also bo sure and keep the knife. Push then tho shelves and thoy will turn slowly around and come back to you with trio plato empty. "After this, replace tho panel, and return to your room silently. That will bo all for about two or throo weoks, whon I shall add a small sorvice, such as placing a light of a xurtain nature in tho tower, and winding up a little machinery. Will you do all this?" asked no, eaguiiy. "Yes," half moaned the potu wbose soul shrank in horror from tho task, "if you assure mo I will not be harmed by the beast." "You .never will; ho is chained to a heavy iron bolt; besides, this room ho is in has no windows or doors (being lighted from tho coiling), and thoro is no mode of roaching him, savo by those shelves. I could not; yon can never even sco him or be soon by him. When my friend returns, and wants him, we will unscrew the Iron shelves, and so take him hence. "Will you stay now, as ho must bo seen to this very night?" asked Sir lloginald, after a pause. "You can send for your trunks when you wish. I will pay you twenty ponnds a month." "I will stay." "Then, please ring the boll you see yonder, as I must inform my wife." The bell brought a footman, who took the desired message, and Lady Constance soon appeared. "Miss Novergail is to remain. She is to be my amanuensis, reader, and assist you and tho nurse, gonerally, in my care. I wish tho room next this prepared for her immediate use." "Why that ono? It will not bo wise to put her there." "Wise or not, there she goes, so have it in readiness. Also, tell Matthew to put up tho horses, as they will bo necdod no more to-day. CHAPTER XU. KTHSIi AKD HER KKW DUTIES. In about an hour a servant maid entered, to say that tho room was in readiness, and she would load' Miss Nevergail to it, if she wished. Taking up her bonnet and wraps, the young girl passed through tho front hall into the room adjoining, which she found exceedingly beautiful. It bad evidently always been exclusively a guest chamber, and so richly was it furnished that she guessed at once why Lady Constance had objected to its daily use. As soon as the maid had withdrawn, Ethel commonccd an examination of the implements Sir Reginald had mentioned. The bookcase ho had spoken of she knew had boon carried thither from the library for her uso sinco her arrival. Tho drawer to which ho had given her a key of a peculiar shape was a secret ono, found, as ho had whispered, behind tho books, and romomboring his directions, sho proceeded to open it, after carefully locking her door. Thoro lay tho threo singularly shaped, largo knivos, with long, sharp-pointod blades; thoro, also, was a china candlestick with threo or four dozen wax candles. Matches wore in a largo tin box, ready for constant and instant use. Befastenlug tho drawer and replacing the books, the young girl proceeded to the wardrobe on tho opposite side of tho room, and unlocking it, sho saw at tho back a door, bolted on her sldo, which gave her an iinmediato feeling of security. Softly drawing tho bolt, she looked out into a small passage that led merely from her own room to a similar door inside a wardrobe sho had scon in the baronet's. These two rooms communicated with this little passageway from tho inhabited part of the house, and these alone. Directly opposite her door was a smaller one, which she at once know must load to tho Haunted Tower and deserted rooms belonging to this singular old mansion. . Sho did not open this, but retreating to her own apartment through tho wardrobe, bathed her face and hands, smoothed her hair, and once more turned toward tho room of tho Invalid. At the threshold, however, she mot old Mrs. Fredon, the nurse, who bad been in the family for years, who whispered that the barouot had fallen asleep, there fore, sho might walk around tho grounds if she chose. Feeling that the fresh air would revive her poor shrinking spirit, Ethol tripped down tho broad staircase and stopped upon tho piazza. As sho did so, she almost ran against a gentleman just entering. Raising her oyes to apologize, she found herself face to face with Dr. Eltcnstcin, tho kind friend that sho had parted with a fow weoks before. Ho was as much astounded as herself, it seemed, at her unexpected appearance. "Is it possiblo that this can bo Miss Novergail?" "It is, indeed; but I can scarcely believe this my friend, Dr. Elfensteln. How is it wo meet in this unexpected place and manner?" "I was about calling on my patient, Sir Reginald CHondonning, when, instead of being received by a servant, Miss Nevorgall comes flying toward mo. How is it you are hero? I see by your black dress that your aunt must havo passed away! But come out upon the piazza, as you were about to do, and toll mo of yourself." Passing from the door to tho shadow of the trained vines, followed by the physician, the young girl related the occurrences of the last fow weeks. "Did I understand that you were to remain hero some time?" "Yes. I am to bo Sir Bcgfnald's secrotary, amanuensis, and roader. For this, and helping to amuse him, I am to receive a good salary, and will havo a homo for the summor. " "I am very glad to hear it," exclaimed Earle, kindly, "It seems liko a pleasant spot, and I think this pure, fresh air will bonofit your health and spirits. I also havo settled horo, having bought a

practice." "Shall we go to Sir Reginald now?" returned she, at tho end of their animated conversation. "I presume ho is awako by this timo." "Yes, at once, and I hope I shall find him more easy than ho was this morning." "Sleep Indicates some degreo of case. Do you think ho will bo helpless long?" "I am sorry to say it will bo months before lie can leave his bod. Even then, I fear he will bo a cripple for years." "Poor man! This has been a sad accident for him," replied Ethel, in tones full of sympathy. Dr. Elfensteln made quite a long call, as he had much to do to make tho baronet comfortable for tho night, and as Ethel saw him bandlo tho injured man so gently, and soothe him with kind, encouraging words, sho folt that ho must potscss a heart of almost womanly fooling, and hor interest and admiration deepened, evon beforo his visit was concluded. After Earle Elfensteln withdrew a Into dinner was announced, and iu the din-

Ing-rooa . Lady Constance presented to 'Ethel her nephew, Robert Glondenning, and nioce, Hello, his sister, tho former greeting her with rather an tnsolont look of admiration, the latter with a bow oxpressivo of haughty contempt From that momont Ethol saw that neither of those young people would promote bor hapninoss whilo sho remained under this roof. Mr. Glondenning did converse with hor. tint it was with such an ovtdent air ot 'jondosconsion that hor replies wore brief ind cold, while his sister remained silent during tho whole meal, with tho oxcoption ol answering one or two questions asked by Lady Constance, which answors wore given in a cold, mechanical way that told of a mind proocoupiod and absent. Tho truth was this young lady was surprised and not at all pleased with the Introduction of such a raroly beautiful girl into tho homo over which she held sway. Sho was intensely proud and selfish, and i - It that thoro might bo an influonco rxirrdd apoii" her foW"admirefsi' that might interfere with her prospects. The prospects particularly in vlow at present were tho winning of tho heart and hand of tho new physician lately settled in tho place. Sho had been introduced to him at tho homo of a friend, and had admired hia elegant bearing, handsome faco and quiet manners, and instantly had resolved to lay siege to his heart. With how much success this sicgo was to bo carried on timo alone couid determine. After loaving tho table tho ladies repaired to tho piazza, followed by Mr. Glendenning. As Hollo paused to pluck from one of the vines a few flowers for her belt. Lady Constance turned to Ethel and remarked: "I suppose you have no friends In this vicinity, having just arrived." Ethol hesitated, whilo a faint blush suffused brow and choek as she replied: "I havo found ono here very unexpectedly." "Ah! whom may that be?" asked her ladyship. "Dr. Elfonstoln. Wo crossed the Atlantic on the sarao vossel, and as my aunt was taken very HI during tho voyage he attended her, and, consequently, we bocame well acquainted." Instantly Belle's attention was riveted by these remarks, and with a sneer sho exclaimed: "I presume, thon, you waylaid him this afternoon in order to renew tha acquaintance." "Pardon me!" replied Ethol, with dignity. "I waylay no one. We met casually on this piazza as ho was about entering to seo Sir Reginald, and conversed for a few momenta " "It seems to mo for tbo futuro, whon my unole's physician visits him, It would bo well for you to remember that you now occupy tho position of a subordinate, and therefore shonld not put on the airs of an equal to attract his attention!" was the rudo and unladylike reply. "Bello," interposed Lady Constance, who, with all her faults, was naturally kind-hearted and just, "you forgot that Miss Nevergail in coming to us doos not cease to bo a gentlewoman." "Or, a gentlewoman's poor relation!" was the cutting answer. "A remarkably beautiful ono, however," said the brother. "Say, Bollo," ho added, teaslngiy, "you must take care or she will carry off somo of your beaux." The indignant girl gavo him a glance of withering scorn, but moroly said, with an angry toss of her bead; "Let her beware how sho interferes with me In any way. A word to tho wise is sufficient." Ethel could scarcely control her Indignant feelings, as sho listonod to these Insulting remarks issuing from tho lovoly Hps of tho girlish speaker, but after an ofJFort she did control thorn, and without

a word turned away, and again sought the sldo of the Invalid. But sho found him irritablo and hard to please, and tbo moments passed In his room became intolerably long, and she sighed for the timo to como whon she could rotiro to hor own apartment, evon though sho know a strange and annoying duty would follow hor there. Finally tho baronot told hor if sho was woary to go, adding harshly: "l am tired already of gazing at your palo face, " thon more kindly, as ho saw sho was startled by his rough way of speaking: "I hope I shall feel bettor in the morning; if so, I shonld like tffhave you read to me, or, as you understand music, wiii listen to a song." fTO BE CONTINTTED. Short Sermons. No man can ever reach his best who does not follow Jesus Christ. The only way man can move without help from God is downward. If you don't live your religion nobody will want to hear you talk much about it. The only thing man really needs is the very thing God is most anxious to give him. Don't have muoh to say about yourself, if you want to keep clear of hypocrisy. Grand preaching is all well enough in its way, but it is the grand living that doos the most for God. Example is more contagious than small-pox, and there is no way of vaccinating against it. Make your mistakes teach you something. Hoses never lost his temper in tho wilderness but once. When the devil has a ohanoe to go into a family ot boys and takes his pick he always takes the best one. Bishop Taylor sleeps with a stone under his head. He has a softer pillow than the man who goes to bed with a guilty conscience. The best thoughts we have are those that get into our bauds and feet, and lead us to do something for others that God is plpased with. One reason why we have so many churches, is beoause they are crowded with people who are trying to serve God and feed swine for the devil at the same time. Evangelist Brown, in the Ram's Born. That the commercial practicability of solidifying petroleum, upon whioh j doubt was cast some time ago, isestabi lished, is proved by the exhibition of Prof. Millefleui'B, before a meeting of Parisian scientists, of ee feral brioks of petroleum, which he has produced" by an original proooss. Tho bricks were hard enough to bo handled without inconvenience, yet soft enough to be out with a stout knife. Thoy burned slowly when touched with a lighted match. Prof. Millofieurs olaims that they are nou-explosivo andinoxporsive. The star whioh civos the greatest the" parallax of any, and whioh in oonso-

quonce is believed to bo tho nearest to the earth, is Alpha Contanri, a star never visible in this latitude. But even this star's parallax is only 93KHJths of a second, wl ieh corresponds to a distanco of 221,000 times the sun's distance from our earth, or over 20, 000,000,000,000 miles.

Rome special: A most exciting and disgraceful incident took place during a debate In tbo Chamber of Deputies. Signor Imbrlani, excited by somo remarks, Shouted to the Crispi group: "You aro servants of Austria." To this taunt Signor Crlspi replied: 'Sorvants, no. Good friends, yes." Upon hearing Signor Crispi's reply Signor Imbrlani repeated his remark: "You aro servants of Austria." To this Signor Crlspi retorted with a gross insult intended for Signor Imbrlani. Tho latter called upon Signor Crispi to withdraw the remark but tho oxpremier refused to do so,saying that while he held tho position of a minister of the State, he had been forced to endure the annoyances of .Signor Imbrianl.
