CHAPTKKII Continued. One hour went by two. The suppor i'mII rang, but Beatrice nrer left, her task. She was writing now. A singular feature of chirograph-, hers, It seems, for she wrote with a coarse pen, ia a bold, masotiline hand, and tliea with a fine one in delicate Italian. characters. She manipulated the two letiurs, so lissimilsr in appearance, folded them, placad them in an envelope, carefully tidded the superscriptions, and then, stamping the envelopes, put on her uloak and hat and stole from her rooir . Down the dark hall, through the front portals, out into the road, and townwards she sped. At the village postoffice she paused to drop the letter into the bos there, and a faint gleam of a lamp near by showed tne aacireBs plainly "Mr. Raymond Marshall." Done! she murmured, Dreatniessiy, as she hurried houiewards. "Circuitstances, accident, all are in my favor. I eould not have endured the confidences that broke my heart, much longer. Edna will never write, her father's letter tells me why. She will never see her old friends again. Raymond Marshall will forget her in time I will 1 e his friend, bis consoler, and then " The dark eyes glistened, the fair face was sentient with vivid emotion. Then I Ah! balm for the hungry heart, love for tne starved soul, peace for the self-torture, for word and feature betrayed the secret of a woman who could suffer, conceal, and plot as well, to consummate the hopes dictated by hatred, jealousy and love! CHAPTER III. TWO tETTEUS. "Two letters, Mr. Marshall." Baymond Marshall took the tendered missives from the hands of the antiauated postmaster of Hopedale, thrust one, an ordinary business missive, into his pocket carelessly, but the other Us eye brightened and his pulses came quicker. From Edna," he murmured, recojioizinff the handwriting on the envelope. "Something about the reception tonight. I hope that tiresome Mr. Brinsley is not to be her escort. It is too precious, too sacred to read here." rte reacnea nome ana went to 11 is room with a gay song on his lips. The memory of the girl he loved was al ways witn nun, tne possession 01 a shy, dainty epistle from her enhanend its sweetness. "Bather bulky, he commented, as he carefully cut opon the envelope, as if every scrap of paper her hands had touched was preoions. "Mr. Marshall why! what is this? Oh, Edna! a joke, a cruel hoax, surely. " Toe words died in a (rasp. jtn e tar ing eyes Marshall surveyed the letter before him. Then staggering to a sent, he sat glaring at it with colorless face and ehilled heart A formal dismissal, n cold, precise disavowal of all the past, the cruel words seemed icy fingers reaching for his heart, to blight all the faith and love of his nature with a single touch Edna had written It her slanting. Italian style showed in the ehlrocropliy. There could be no doubt of that, l.ut the language! oh! what did it mean? Briefly it addressed him as might one I stranger. Circumstances, tlio latter said, had in an hour changed her destiny. . All was over between them. It was better 80, since fate ordained it. Bemember her as a friend, their brief "flirtation" as a wayward caprice for passing the summer months away! "False! Deceitful! I will never believe It," panted the petrified Marshall. "Why! yesterday the ring I gave her, the pledges we made oh! this is some farce, some bidden dream! What Is this?" Mechanically turning the wretched missive over and over in his nerveless hands, Baymond Marshall observed for the first time that it was comprised of two sheets of paper. And striving to separate them, he ascertained that stray patches of mucilage held the lower page to the other. In a few minutes he discerned that it could not have been the intention of the sender to Inclose the second sheet. That was accidental. It had stud: to the top sheet and had been folded in with it by a hasty, careless hand. It bore writing not Edna's writing. A dagger seemed driven to Hay Marshall's heart as he tore it free, and the bold, masculine chlrography danced hefore hia vision. If he had been startled before, every pulse stirred with fierce Are now. The letter had evidently been received by Edna the day previous, and was signed with the name of the only rival in her anection sction to whom he had ever given 1 thought, Miss Chandler's cousln.1 a Edna's announced escort of that even' lug Barton Brinsley, The letter of an accepted lover lo the ! woman he loved, it betrayed decided encouragement from Edna. It even bore a aught ridicule of Marshall's pretensions. Edna had endured this! Edna had played him false, and while her shy lips were responding to his ardent expressions of devotion her hypocritical heart was thinking of Barton Brinsley. The complication was maddening. With eyes dashed with the. insanity of despair the tortured artist looked up. He clenched the tell-tale sheets in his hand as If they were the false heart of the girl who had jilted him, and that of the man who had stolen away her hive. "I I will kill him!" he choked out, his soul ablaze. And then, r.lizing the folly ot such a sentiment, the right of any man to honorably strive for a woman's preference, with the bitterness' of deai.h comprehending that ire woman was the deceiver, remembering his 11 otter's taunt once made that he had better marry some nc besides "a nnmeloss, homeless, noliody," he calmed down, put on his hat, and walked from the house like one in n dream, his lips firmly set. but sick at heart. He went straight to the scmii ary. There was that in his heart so mc.uly, so straightforward, so Inclined to doubt the falsity of the woman he had o blindly trusted, despite the terrible evidence In his hands, that, though the meeting killed him, hn was determined to have the matter settled now and finally. Ee would demand to see Edna he would show her the lotters. His philanthropic friends had more than once told him that all womankind wero changing butterflies of sentiment. If she had Indeed only played with his heart he would leave her presence and the place forever; without a word aeeept the bitter lesson as a warning against trusting all humanity, and in silence and distance wait for the end of a life blighted, profitless, unendurable. A servant admitted him and lock his card to the lady principal. Miss Chandler looked serious as-she entered the room, but greeted hlra with the geniality jhe always bestowed on Edna's friends. She started at the sight, of his wretched face, however. . "Miss Chandler," be spoke, in hU misery and agitation neglecting to take her proffered hand, "I wish to see Edna Miss Deane." "Edna?" ejaculated the lady prlnelpalwonderlflgly, "Why! did you not

now what?" he demanded. Bhamlv.

his heart inking a new alarm. "That she is gone?" "G-one!" be repeated.blnnkly, "Hono? When, were, with whom?" "She loft u.s last evening. Poor, denr Edun; her happy hehool life ia over, and why, Mr. Marshall!" He had arisen 10 his feet at her first startling words. He felt his senses reeling now. and swayed where ho stood. ' The sight of sueh vivid emotion in a strong man alarmed the gentle lady. "Go on!" he choked out, waving his hand agitatedly. "It la nothing. The shock, the suddenness " "Surely she wrote you that she was going?" ; "Xo. That is You say she wont ' last evening?" j "Yes." ; "Alone? Why did she leave so ah- ' ruptly?" j His heart hung 011 the reply. Miss Chandler's faee fell, "Mr. Marshall," she said, in a low, j subdued tone, "you must not ask me. 1 have pledged mysolf to make no oxpla- 5 nations. In fact, I know very little. ! She left in safo hands, of that I am as- j sured, and she will never return to Hopedale. It has depressed us all; but ; surely she will soon write to you and ' explain." ! "Miss Chandler. I must know where ' Edna Deane has gone. You must tell ; me morel" i His voice was husky, but it bore a ring of sharp, lacerating anguish. ' "I cannot I never break a promise ', once made, Mr. Marshall," spoke the . lady, with dignity. "You may Bee Miss 1 Mercer, If you choose. She was Edna's j most Intimate friend. She may have the right to tell you, but I cannot Edna may have left a message with' her." "Allow me to speak with her, please." How strain i d and unnatural were his tones! How like a man marching to ; qjs 0.00m no wijowca wxss unanaier ; wnmt.he .b!?ad.h!:I,1?fldtotheooo,'ofl r nVrcer Esther, alone. 1 1 think." sooke Miss Chandler. "Yes. Beatrice, Mr. Marshall." And the principal opened the door and 1 olosed it upon Baymond Marshall and j tne woman ne so uisiiheu ana ais- 1 trusted. CHAPTER IV. HIE TIIUTII KEVEALF.D. Beatrice Meroer was seated at a desk ! correcting some exercises of the pupilB, ! her own portfolio spread out before her.

( you must! ne gasi:0d. rranucaiiy. i "Do you understand what I am enduring? Doubt anguish heart-breakinc! " From beneath her veiled eyelids the girl studied his working face. Craftiness was there, but wvll masked. A sinister triumph in her heart gave her strength to simulate "I pity you." she said, softly. "I would be glad to toll you all, but it is useless." "Useless?" "Yes. She has left the seminary, I Honedale. her friends, forever. She hits gone to her relatives under a vow never to reveni ner true ia entity, nappy in her new life, with golden promises of wealth, you must not blame her impetuous nature if she finds new friends who make her forget the old. " How well the shaft went home! The blank despair. Hie settled conviction of faithlessness in the man's face was pitiable to witness. "She left no word for me?" he forced himself to ask. "No. Sho wrote a letter to Mr. Barton Brinsley, but it is unmanly for you to have me betray my friend." "Speak!" ordered Marshall, fiercely. "Do you not see that this suspense is killing me?" "Then know the worst," answered Beatrice, bulking all her fancied power i on a final venture. "She wrote to liarton Brinsley. This morning he left Hopedale. Miss Chandler says he has ; gone away on business, i think it is to j see Edna's new relatives and press his i suit there. Mr. Marshall, oh, why will j yon force me 10 tell these bitter truths? ; Forget her she is unwoi thy of you. ' She never knew her own mind.

I i must see Edna she shall tell me from her own Hps what I already know! Then I nin content to cherish my misery in silence. Speak! Win my gratitude, at least, by telling me whither she has gone." There was no reply. Only the subdued sobs broke the waiting silence. "You know whore Kdnn Is?" persisted Marshall. "Yes, I know!" cried Beatrice, lifting her face, flashing with jealousy and emotion; "but do you think I will tell you send you to beg at the feet of a woman unworthy of you? Leave me! If you are suffering, I am tortured. Oh! cruel! cruel! cruel!" Her frantic hands swept the open portfolio across the desk as she shrank from him, hiding her humiliation, her jealousy, her love In hot, burning tears. About to speak reassurlagly to her, to plead with her anew for the knowledge he so craved, Raymond Marshall started as if dealt a sudden blow. His eyes happened to fall to the open portfolio. lie recoiled, stared closer, and then sprang to his feet with a wild, intelligent, hopeful cry. For upon a sheet of paper, written there indubitably by the woman who had ust so shame-fucelly confessed her love, was the record of hatred and treachery that hod so nearly blighted his life. Th'jre were the first experiments of the clever forger to simulate Edna Deane h handwriting. There was a copy of the missive he had received that morning. There, loo, was the draft of the more niasculino epistle that had accompanied it

Jloatriee Mercer had looked up at his

strange cry. Her eye met his, follow ing their glance to (ho iwtfolio, and then, shrinking buck, her guilty face told the truth. "You wrote that you wrote those lct ters!" fairly shouted Marshall. "Oh. blind, wicked thut I was, to doubt my true-hearted darling! It was a cruel forgery a plot. Speak, Beatrice Mor cer! All you have told mo, all those letters told, was a falsehood. Beutrlco had snatched up the port folio. Dolianeo In her face, she panted like a tigress at iay. "If I did," she cried wildly, "It was only to save you a fruitless chase. I alone know where Edna Deane has gone. I know that she will nes t r dare write to you or soo you again, You hate me, you spurn me you, for whom I would have given u lifetime of devo tlon. Then And the pale-faced child you dote over, but never with my help. A great, joyful glow sprang to the race ot Marshall "So be it!" he cried. " Knowing her to be true, Knowing ail tins forgery to oe a lie, love will find a way. ltuvoulod in your true colors at lust, I know what to expect of you: but, us I live, I vow never to rest till I find the woman I love, the victim of some dark plot, if I pursue hot half the world over!

All these might be evaded. Pestilence might pass him by, perils graze him unscathed, death itself be warded back by the love that knew no obstacles, but. more weird, more tortuous than be ever dreamed was the path that was leading him to that far day when, once again, standing face to face with nana, he should shrink before a mystery and a plot that would daunt, appall, and bailie even his bold courage and try his loyal soul at by an ordeal of are! ITO BE CONTINUED. I The Wheel and Its Rider. The use of the bicycle is one of the striking features of the travel of the day. The bicycle is now one of the most common means of transport about cities and towns. It all parts of the country whcrc there are fair roads it has largely displaced the horse, and it Is continually extending its Held Of usefulness. It is comparatively but a few years since the bicycle was only a toy thought to be as little deserving of njen the small gravity wagons on which boys ride down the sidewalks. The nrst bicycle, or the velocipede, as it was commonly called, had little to recommend it. It was hardly faster or less laborious than walking, and the machine was laid aside at an early day. The big-wheel bicycle was a long advance. It changed a toy into a useful machine. It enabled the rider to travel rapidly with j small labor. It had the disadvantage ' that a small obstruction or a rongli I road meant a fall to t he rider. Then ! some sensible mechanic remembered ! that with proper gearing the two low . wheels could be made to go as far at a revolution as the big wheel, and the "safety" was the result. Siuce this invention the popularity 0f the machine has wonderfully inew.nod nv mm cnnnil in rr.iiid mid limb may learn to ride. Old and young women and men may have the wheel at their service and enjoy the healthful exercise and the exhl arai tlou that comes from rapid motion without exertion. It was once a rarity to see n woman i cm a bicycle. New the sight is so i common as to cause no remark. An ; elderly man taking a spin was equally ! rare a few years ago. Now white- ! haired gentlemen may be seen riding t he wheels through the streets on any . line day. j The bicycle is the universal steed.' , It costs no more than a good horse. ; It never becomes hungry or thirsty. Its "keep" is nothing. A little oil ! and the ue of a cleaning rag are all ) the attention it ueeds. The only trouble about the possession of it is found in the numerous improvements that are being made, so that the buyer of the finest machine of this year may hare his heart eaten out with envy when he is passed by the rider of the finest machine of next year. The pneumatic tire, which secures ease of motion, has been the latest advance. Perhaps the use of aluminum, cutting the weight of the machine down to one-third that of those of steel, will he the nest. The bicycle has passed the trotting horse in point- of speed. Even the fleet Nancy Hanks, with the pneu-matlc-tire sulky and the kite-shaped track, must yield to the safety with the athletic man to propel it. The experiments thus far made show that the bicycle will be valuable in warns well as in peace, and it is proposed to equip squadrons with it to secure riipid muvement of troops. The bicycle has proved a strong influence for good roads. Every man who owns a wheel becomes thereby a strong advocate of smooth roads. He finds the value of them at once. On all points the bicycle is to be commended. t'oudeuBf'd Delicacies. Condensed jellies are becoming an important commercial article.
