CHAPTER V. disaster! "What will Raymond, think? what will Kavmond savV That was the burden of anxious Edna Deane's heart, as tne carriage that conveyed her from her school life into a new and unknown exintence sped across the country. Opposite to her sat her grim eompan ion. motionless, erect, forbidding, Bo speet without severity had attended his every movement since leaving Hopedale, but he persisted in mar. weira, op preseive silence that chiliad, almost aiarmea we warm, cmiuiaa neon oi Edna. She had comforted herse'if with the resolve to write to Marshall as soon as she reached her new home, ana had then ventured to address her somber comoanion. "Won't you please tell me something about my father tne place i am going to?" she spoke in accents of tremulous pleading. The man hesitated. Then, with evident reluctance, he said: "You are going to your father the father who loves you, who will make your life one of joy, wealth, and happiness." "But, why all this mystery?" His brow clouded. "He will tell you. Believe me, it is for the best. He has been under a cloud for years; his life has been nearly wrecked by the wickedness of others. Go to him with a free, fearless heart, willing to forget all the world save him, and add something of joy to his last days." Edna chilled at the gruesome hint that the words contained. Forget all the world save her father? Did that include Baymond? What could the dark mystery be? Her companion's lips were sealed on the theme after they had reached the train. He provided her with every comfort is the drawing-room section secured for her, and left her to her thoughts, telling her that they would not leave the train until after daylight Then a swift spin across tie country, confused sleep, and morning, struggling in the embrace of a blinding snowstorm, the cars passing through a bleak, unfamiliar section. Toward evening they alighted at u little village. It was still snowing, and, leaving her in the cheerless depot, her companion vent to the stores about the place, returning with a frowning, anxious f aco. "I am sorry," he said; "but can you stand a short walk in the storm?" "I am not afraid of the storm; I rather enjoy it," responded Edna, cheerily. "Are we near home?" 'Yea; that is, we cross two miles to another railroad. Then a brief ride, and your journey is ended. I cannot obtain a single vehicle to drive us over, and the train is due in two hours." They started forth, Edna was brave and disdainful of the snow at first, tut clogged footstops, an occasional dee? drift and blinding flakes soon made her breath come quicker, and her companloi was compelled to aid her with the help of his arm. Tbcy had got past the limits of the town now. Edna shuddered at the ciieerlessness of the twilight-dbrkening landscape. "We have not got far to go now," encouraged her companion. "This muttt be the bridge we cross. Courage, my child! Only half a mile more, and ' "Oh! come back! come back! Look! That sign!" Edna, following in the footsteps of hor guide, who now went in advance to clear a path for her more dainty fee", had noticed the dashing torrent of water below the frail bridge spanning it, and, half-obliterated by the snow, a rudely painted 3ign nailed to one of the bridge supports. "AVnat Is it?" spoke her guide, halfway across the bridge. "There is a sign. 'Danger! ' Mercy! " A wild, frantic scream completed tie sentence. Appalled, Edna Deane shrunk back at a spectacle that froze her heart with terror. At her very word, her companion, faking a step to one side, disappeared. The warning of danger had come too lat. Through some snow-covered hole in the unstable bridge structure he went. Splash! With strained eyes the agonized girl saw his body strike the foaming water torrent. There was a cry for help, she saw his white face appear once, twice, in the turbulent flood, and then tho mighty stream dashed on, leaving her alone, unprotected, In the weird arms of the storm and the night. Alone, sick at heart, hopeless, she continued to stare vaguely at the circling eddies that had engulfed her one protector in the world. Alone on that dreary landscape, Edna Deane realized that she was penniless, homeless, hundreds of miles from friends, and the mystery of her life a mystery still, CHAPTER VI. LOST Hear that look there!" One of two men bound villagewar 3s uttered the words in a startled, exolfcad gasp, just as the unfortunate man w io had been Edna Deane's companion and guide gave expression to his cry for aid. They had just passed the uomberfaced man and his girlish companion struggling through the nn'ow. and, supposing they werel bent down the river shore instead of across the unsafe bridge, had passed on without uttering a warning. Now coming to the river path beyond a dump of trees, that wild cry had reached the ears of the younger of tht, twain. "Help! help!" Looking quickly back and down the stream, he caught a glimpse of a form struggling In the wild waters of the torrent. "They wore strangers!" he ejaculated. "The bridge! They've tried to cross it, and have fallen through " It took them ten minutes fuliy to retrace their steps, running around -.be bluffy timber stretch. They reached the bridge. Horror-eyed, appalled, they stared blankly at the trodden snow md the gaping hole, thrcugh which the darkling waters showed twenty feet below. "He went down I saw him in the water," muttered one of the men. "But the other?" "What other?" "The girl." Ah, yea! I forgot. There was a girl with him. Jem, they're gone! Man and woman both, sure as fate!" They glanced far down tae river banks. They even lined the stream for some distance, nut round no traoe or the supposed victims of a terrible mistake. Thus it was that rttmor, speculation and horror were rife at the little railroad settlement that evening, when the two men returned thither and told their tragic story. This man remembered seeing the two arrive on the late afternoon train that one described the gaunt, solemn-faced stranger seeking a conveyance to cake them across country. A party was made up to make search for some trace of the bodies or the unfortunates, but, ajtef lining the bleak uhoret ol the liver

for hoUra, they rbttirnod bootless from their task at midnight, the swirling waters and increasing storm bidding iair io sweep away or covor up lorevermore the identity of tho man and the girl ! who had seemingly met death at tho bridge. As the reader knows, Edna Deane's i guide alone had sunk through the broken ' planking. Edna herself, frozen with i horror, had remained for a moment ; chilled to helplessness by tho sudden disaster. Then, frantic 'with terror, ! vaguely hoping io reach some habitation and summon its denizens to at- , tempt Iho rescue of hor guide, she ! dashed blindly from the scene. Through the heavy snow she ran, the darkening landscape showing a distant light. Towards It she bent her steps, lost it as a copse intervened, struggled on again, crossed a gully, reached a i rise in the ground, and then leaned ! against a tree, panting for breath, and i staring wild-eyed and alarmed all about her. j Her bedraggled dress, soikod shoes, ; chilled frame and anguished heart drove every sense to vivid suffering, With a moan of diBtross she realized that her companion was past earthly help, that the river had swept him away. The instinct of self-preservation, the fright of the moment dulled her memory of that terrible scene at the bridge; for utter loneliness and desolation spread bofore : her; not a habitation, human being or light showed. She might have been a thousand miles from civilization for all : its evidences that existed in her imroo- ! dlate proximity. "Oh! wbere shall I go which way i shall I turn? I am lost!" ; Her tones were hollow, the utterance despairing, affrighted. Nurtured amid delicate care, scarcely clothed to endure the rigors of such exposure, she felt that her strength and her will were fast deserting her. ! She tried to summon all her fortitude ' and calmness. She decided that the town they had left an hour previous : must, ne Deyona a level waste bounded on its farther edge with a ridgo of trees and bushes. In that direction she started. Knee-deep In a drift, swaying like a reed in the wind, she wavered, fairly in the center of the vast meadow. Snow was all about her earth and air seemed full of it It dazzled her vision, it penotrated sleeve and hood, It ohoked and blinded her. A fearful night, truly! The noise of the rising tempest rang out like the waves ol angry sea. xno storm had flapped out the baleful light of moon and stars. In the strength of a mighty glee, the wind raved and roared, sweep ing tne arming snow about her like a shroud. " I can go no further! " With a moan that was a prayer, the delicate girl sank down. Her strength had given out completely. The snow came thicker, the winds blew faster, the ghastly white stretch before her began to be flecked with lire, as her overstrained nerves drove the feverblood from heart to brain. "Oh! tho rest the quiet!" she mur mured, as she closed her eyes in that fatal delight which cold and exhaustion bring, to lure--Hho deluded j victim to the last long sleep. "Bay- j mond Beatrice father! good-night, ' good night!" j A rare, ecstatic smile stole over ner i face. The suffering of lifo was merg- , ing into the delirium of dreamland, j She had lain down to die so young, so fair, so little realizing how near death grazed her bonny heart! un! let me rest; i am so weary! A rough contact , a blast of warm breath sweeping her face roused tho benumbed girl to look up. Then, with a frantic scream, she struggled to her feet and stood trem blingly staring at an intruder, the shock i happily dissipating the lothargy that be- ! numbed her senses, and bringing her a j realization anew of tho perils that j menaced ber. The hideous form that her uncertain vision had e.tnggorated into somo tor- j rible crcat on of her fancy, brushed close against her, its rough head swept ' her hands and face, thrilling them to a : sense of feeling with the animal warmth of its rough caress. A great homely faced horse, lost or strayed from home, like a puzzled wanderer over the black expanse, seeking shelter, the animal had saved her life. "I was going to sleep!" panted Edna, with an affrighted shudder, "Oh! I must struggle on, for Raymond's sake. Heaven help and guide me, I cannot die ! here alone!? I She grasped tho horse's mane as the animal neighed uneasily. Clinging to it she walked was dragged along. The patient horse plodded forward. They reached a road. Minutes seemed an ; hour. Edna was conscious of relaxing ! her hold on her dumb guide from sheer! weakness, of sinking helpless to tho ground. j was tnat a lignt sinning near grate fully near? She tried to ory out, but I her utterance seemed choked and hoi- I low, and its faint echo died in ber own ! throat. I Surely, there wivs a house before her! ! an open shed, too, beneath which the j norse svouu puiiuiig, out ewe irom uiu i storm. ! If she would only drag herself there! But It was not to be. Exhausted na ture could endure no more. She closed hr eyes with a moan of utter weariness mid despair. Again her senses glided into that fatal dream land or unreality. The snow seemed destined to finish a dark night's work by burying Edna Deane and the mys tery or her fair young life beneath its mantle alike. Ghostly fell the snow! Fiercer rose the wild winds, more weird became the clogged, misshapen landscape; darker grew the night. The dainty form was outlined, lirst in a royal robe of ermino, then a little mound showed, then a greater one, and then only a bleak, level expanse the wan derer completely obliterated, as if a part of the great spreading meadow it self. And ghostly foil the snow! CHAPTKR VII. TOO late! Baymond Marshall had swept from the presence of Beatrice Mercer with the joy of a man suddenly snatched from the darkest depths of grief and despair. in a Hash had come a full realization I of the true status of affairs. Ho had been grossly deceived his bright, bonny Edna was not faithless! The , letters he had received wore forgeries, and tho plotful Beatrice Mercer, inspired by lov.? and jealousy, had : wrought all the misery so happily averted by his accidental discovery of hor duplicity. I I will find her if I soaroh the world ; over! he had avowed ardently, buoyant, exultant in his faith regained and the power of a love able to battle the most subtle foe. With calmness, however, while his overpowering lovo sustained him fully, Knymond Marshall realized that he was at a terrible disadvantage, in the dark, with not a single clew as to the motivo of Edna Deane's strange disappearance or her possible whereabouts. A second visit to Miss ('handler, the lady principal of the seminary, rosulted In the acquirement of very little additional information. Edna's father had sent a trusted friend or servant to take her homo. He had made it an express request t hat the location of that home, the mystery of Edna's life, her true name should not be made known. Edna must abandon all her old friends. A new life opened fur hor of wealth and comfort, but upporantly weighted down, or at loitst

affected, by some dread mystery that involved the utmost eo -roey. Seasoning all this out, Baymond Marshall deolded that he could do but little except to await developments. His anxiety for Edna's welfare, however, his Impetuous, impatient spirit, drove him to endeavor to ledrn what course Edna's mysterious companion had taken ill so swlitly spiriting hor away to her friends. He traced the carriage to the railroad town fifteen miles distant, but there the trail ended. Distance or direction takou by the fugitive there booame Involved points of speculation. For a week ho hung around Hopedale. His painting was. neglected. His father was involved in deep business difficulties, which at any other time would have commanded his attention, b it just now he could think of nothing but -Edna. He grew moody and factum, unxious and then aliirme.1. No letter arrived

from Edna. He haunted the woods, spots ondearo l to him by their past meetings, but his anxious heart drove him to distraction as the fear grew upon him that his lovo was lost to him, that either" the mandate of a stern father of the plots of the siren-hearted Beatrice were operating to rob him of the bonny bride to whom his troth was plighted. What did this girl know? Evidently everything there was to know. With subtle craftiness she had woven her soft wiles about the innocent and trustful Edna, until the latter had ma le of her a bosom friend an exclusive oonfidante. She bad tacitly acknowledged to Marshall that she knew where Kdna had gono, but boldly, angrily, she had refused to tell him what he wished to know. Fully comprehending the girl's resolute nature, Marshall gloomily decided that If she alone held tho fate of his ever again meeting his loved and lost one that event would never transpire, N - Wrought up to a maddening pitch of frenzy by the uncertainty and suspense of the hour, us woll as by a sense of deep wrong and Injustice, one evening Baymond Marshall went straight to the seminary. "Beatrice Mercer shall tell me all she knows," he uttered fiercely. "I will plead, I will frighten her, but her secret shall be mine!" The crowning surprise and disaster alike of the culminating troubles of the hour was announced at the very portals of tho seminary. Mies Mercer was gone! Blankly and dolefully Miss Chandler imparted the bewildering information. Gone? When where? Beatrice Mercer, poor, friendless, dependent entirely on Miss Chandler's bounty and the meager means that her position as subteacher awarded her, gone? Abandoning a position which seemed to be a life-lease for her? Yes, she had mado the euddcu denouncement that morning. Thoroughly amazing her friends, she had packed up.: demanding her salary, and had leit, without a word of explanation concerning either hor motives in resigning her position or her future intentions. To tho duinfounded and suspeiiseful Baymond Marshall this seemed the last and most cruol blow of fate. His final reliance was swept away. Ho felt assured that Beatrice Mereerknew of tho whereabouts of Edna. Now, she, too, had disappeared there was not a olue in sight! Would she join Edna in her new home, and by forgery and misrepresentation wreck her faith in her lover, and work out her plots of jealousy and revenge? Oppressed by this torturing thought, Baymond Marshall left Hopedalo that night on a blind, hopeless quest for some trace of the woman he loved and the woman he dreaded. Too late! Tho woman whoso cruel hand wastwistiug his heart-strings with torture, because In her wild, erratic way she loved him, had twenty-four hours' start In a plot so subtle and bold that his spirit would have quailed bad he even so much as guessed its sinister motives) ro be coirratvcn, Tlilnffa Swallowed. The Lewiston man that swallowed a physician's atomizer the other day has had many sympathizers. An impecunious wretch who accosted him soon after said: "That's nothing. I swallowed a brick block in 10-cent drinks." The remark was old, but the accompanying request for a 10cent loan was new. A jeweler on Lisbon street, who is trustworthy and will back this over his signature, says that he knows a man In Lewiston who swallowed a large piece of iron, very largo, dimensions not given, but so large that it almost destroyed bis equilibrium, aud when he lay down this bit of hardware rolled around internally in accompaniment to his own turnings. It was with hiin for years, gradually absorbing, until, presto, change! it was gone, a masterly piece of digestion, without doubt No affidavit accompanies this story of the evaporation of cold, iron, but it would be no injury to its good effects if there were. The meanest trick that the epiglottis has done of late, however, is to an Auburn storekeeper, who was about to open st-yre the other day and held the key, a very small one, in his mouth for a moment, when he unfortunately slipped on the door and swallowed it (the key, not the door). He waited for his partner to open up. A pretty girl who was about to pay the conductor iu the street car (Pine street route), last Thursday, suddenly blushed and then turned pale. She had swallowed a 10-cent piece. Lewiston Journal. He la a Fireproof Alolder. Louis Bonnier, u molder at the foundry of Landon & Co., is a salamander. Yesterday he sat squarely down in a tub of molten metal, while the men were "pouring it off." His companions rushed to his rescue, dragged him out, and expected to see his flesh burned from the bones. Instead, Bonnier brushed off what remained of his charred clothing and exhibited his skin white aud free from burnt). The men cannot explain why he was not horribly injured. The theory of perspiration, which often saves molders from painful blisters, does not apply in this case, because Bonnier sat in the metal long enough to have the effects of any moisture of the body overcome. The Frenchman met with a similar accident some time ago. The handle of a ladle of molten metal lie was carrying broke, and a quantity of the fiery liquid went into his shop. He hastened to a tub of water, intending to jump into it. On the way the hot mass burned Its way through the side of his shoe. A fellow-work man pulled the shoe off, and to the surprise of all not. a scorch was found on the flesh. Bridgeport (Conn.) Mspatch. A Long Ilrldg". An Indian exchange says: The longest bridge in the world is the Lion bridge, near Sangang, i a China. It extends fJ miles over an arm of the Yellow Pci, and is supported by 300 huge stone arches. The roadway is 70 feet above the water Mid is inclosed in iron network. A marble, lion 21 feet long rests on trie c;ow;i of every pillar. The bridge was built at the conin and of the Emperor Klcng Long, who abdicated in i"!l! on account of old age. He: "Can you keep a seoret?" Rho: "Yes, hut I don't want to. What's the goo l of having n secret that yvii can't loll?"

Hie Pre we a cf Captain Myles StaadM. The iron hand of the colony in dealing with the Indians, and with evildoers along the coast, was their intrepid Captain General, Myles Standish, a Small man, who was sneeringly dubbed by one who had felt the weight of his authority, "Captain Bhrimp;" Ho was tgile, indomitable, and hot-tempefed, A Yorkshiruman of a gentle famdy, he Siad been a soldier in the Low Counries, where he fell in with Robinson's eongregaticn. Liking them, he settled in Leyden, without joining the church. He came to New England in the Mayflower, and led in all the military operations of the colony, going foremost in every dangerous undertaking. He --as quick of decision, aud prompt to act. He terrified Courbittant's hostile faction in Masuisoit's tribe by surrounding a village in .the night and taking all tho inhabitants prisoners, A merchant named Wesitou having planted a colony of reckless English on the side ot Weymouth, who had rendered themselves hateful to tho Massachusetts tribe, some of thu latter eoiiBjiired to destroy Plymouth colony and Weston's settlement with tho same blow. Massasoit gave information of the plot to the English, and even directed who muse be executed by a sudden surprise, in order to cut of ti e heads of the conspiracy, and so prevent the attack. The danger was imminent, and Standish set out for Weston's colony under color of trading, though some of the Indians reported that the little captain was evidently angry inside. In the insulting carriage of the Indiar. Btandish easily saw their intention to surprise and cut him off. Pecksuot, a stalwart chief, hod sharpened his knife on the back as well as on the edge. "This knife," said he, "has woman's face on the handle. I have another at home ; it has a man's face on it, for it has killed an enemy. After a while tbe two shall get married." Standish and his men fell suddenly on some of the defiant ringleaders, whoso Homes Mansasoit had given, and killed them with the knives which the Indians wore about their necks. The little captain, with his own hand, stabbed to death, after a desperate struggle, the powerful end insolent Pecksuot. The measure was a harsh one, but the peril was very f.reat, and Standish had few men, Tho mode of execution was that by which the Indians were accustomed to deal wivh such offenders ; it was what Pecksuot intended, no doubt, for Standish and lis companions. It is to bo remembered, too, that the slightest reVerse wotid have brought tho whole power of the savage tribes upon the English. Robinson, iu Leyden, was deeply grieved at this slaughter, and wrote: "Oh, that you had converted some before you had killed any." Standish carried the head of one of the Indians back to Plymouth, and stuck it up ass barberous trophy. In extenuation, it is necessary to remember that, more thaii a hundred years later than

this, 'ienrple isar, m .London, was decorated with human heads. Edward Eggleston in the Century. Strange Ctutom. The origin of the custom of burring people with their heads to the West is unknown. From ages back races In all parts of the world have buried tbelrdead with their heads to the West; not invariably, however, but with great uniformity. Probably tho remote origin lies in the belief of an Immortality and a resurrection, typified by the return of the sun every morning. The dead are burled so that when the time comes they may face the sun, which will wake tbom. The first pastor ot the church at Easthampton, Jf. Y., It may bo remarked, directed that ho be buried with his head to the East, so that at tho resurrection he might face bis congregation; but so general '.s the custom of burying with the head to the West that this direction Is noted as an instance ot the minister's eccentricity.
