It was just at the commoneompnt of the ceremony that ho chanced io glance at the hnir-open door connecting with the adjoining apartment. The others did not see, the others did not mark, the vivid start, the quick pallor, th.3 gasping breath, t lie stared bofore him as if ho had seen a wraith.

His voice rang out less vaguely now. ' It was no wraith no trick of the senses, She was at the threshold of that haiLj door now. Her face flashed plainly, unmistakably, across his vision. "It is she alive!" he gasped. "Oh, cau it be true?" Madly he rushed for the corridor. The fihock of the perfect recognition, however, had blinded, confuted hifi. Sho had disappeared, and in his excitement lie ran the wrong way, got lot in inextricable oide passages o the hotel, and reached its street exit twa minutes behind the iiyini fugitive. A lounger at the door told an e:;eitablo f toryof tho fleeting form, and indicated (he direction in which it had disappeared. Not stopping to analyze his vivid emotions nor the strange situut'on in 'vhich his acquiescence to the pleadings of Beatrice had placed him, Knymond Marshall thought only of the dead come back to life with a great, fevetish joy and wonder. Vainly, however, he scoured the vicinity. Edna Deane had come like a phantom and had disappeared like a lash. Jaded, perplexed, an hour later Raymond Marshall started back for the hotel. His brow was black with suspieion, his keenest sensibilities aroujod to the lever-pitch of augury and suspense. Edna was alive he was satis fled on : bat point. As he looked back over the events of the past hour, and realized how ho hat allowed his despair and sympathy to Itfad him into a net, ho realized, too, that It might all be part of a plot. The newspapor. item was a alseliood! The siren had again deluded iiim, and now he was chained to her. '.3e her illness simulation or reality, sho 'vas his legally wedded wife. Tho thought that Edna knew and un lerstood all this drove him frantic. Hot with hate and excitement, he regained the room at the hotel. He would ,ave an understanding with Beatrice! She should, at least, tell him the trurh about Edna, and the mystery of her absence and reappearance. "Marshall has probably gone homo, ' t;he latter was saying, "but I cannot account for his strangj abrupt d parture. We will not think of that, however, Beatrice. Your scheme has su cceeded; you are his wife." les, cried Beatrice, triumphantly, ' "mv fondest hones have succoecied." : We had better, therefore, hasten our i iither avrnncremer ts at once. As I un- i ilerstand it, you are to te reniove.l to uy home?" "Still posing us the dying invalid. yes, assented tho crafty Beatrice.

'However little iaymond Mars lall may ! place is a dangerous one for any straitciare for me, he will call daily,to inquire ! ger. If I release you will you go away for me. His sympathy wiireauso him j and ner tell any one you saw mo hero

When heiinds he has married a well woman instead of a dying one he will accept the s;tuation, and my love wiK win him to forget Edna, and he will never know the plot we have played against him." "He knows it now!" Tho two schemers started 1 ack iu dismay. A towering monu nont of wrath, their victim suddenly sprang into view. In wild, fierce denunciation lie thrust the abashed doctor aside. In righteous indignation he told tie appalled Beatrice that she was uninaskett, the full measure of her iniquity known. He almost cursed her in the bitterness of his rage. He told hor that If he lied to the uttermost parts of the world, her claim upon him as a husband should b-; t he merest mockery of formality, and then unheeding her frantic appeals of lovo.he dashed from the room, not even deigning to reveal to her that he had seen Edna Deane, that he knew her to be alive, realizing that any appeal to her to tell him truly what ah'? know of the poor, persecuted child d destiny would not bring a truthful response from her false lip?. That night, baffled, distracted, crushed, Beatrice sought vainly for the man sho lovod at his home, in tho village. She could not forget him.. So near to bucoess, and careless babbling had lost her the precious prizo. She lingered at the retirement of the Doctor's home Jor several d.ys; she had him inquire everywhere for Marshall, but the lact r hid mysteriously disappeared from tho village. "I. shall return home," she told him with anxious, haggard face, finally. "At the first trace you secure of him write or telegraph me. Ton got the marriage certificate from the clorttyman?" Dr. Simms evaded her questioning glance. "Not yet," he stammered, "but I will. You see, the village elergyrian was away, and I had to arrange with a strange minister who lives in another town. 1 will attend to it. Oh, you will win ltaymond Marshall to your side yet." "Eife is torture else," sighed the disappointed Beatrice. Arid that night she start-Hi back for the home where luxury and wealth were a hollow mockery, with her scheme for Baymond Marshall's love a failure. Had she remained one day longer at Hopedale, sho wculd have seen ltaymond Marshall, for he returned twentyfour hours after her departure. If he was pale, worn, jaded before, he was a more shadow of his former handiiome aelf tow. He had sought vainly, everywhere for a trace of Edna Deane. Back at the starting-point of his investigation, ere he went to his home, ho visited the hotel. He questioned the landlord about "Miss Leslie," and inquired particularly alout a mysterious visitor on the day of the marriage, "$ ranioitttoi now,'' poku tU laad-

It was Beatrice Mercer; there could be no doubt of it, and the shojk of tho recognition, a realization of the perfidy of her former friend, drove Edna to sudden silenee. She sank to tho side of the pit and looked up blankly. "Who is there, I cayV demanded Beatrice, peering ehnrply'down. "It is I; Edna Edna Deane." "Incredible!"

"Remain here until I r. turn uiilil it is safe for mo to rescue you and get you outside the grounds." Then she was gone, and darkness and silence supervened, and poor Edut, shrinking, trembling, awaited her fa o, with a confused sense of fieri!, of mystery In her agitated thoughts. Beatrice had gone to her room in the mansion with a drawn brow and tightly compressed lips. She had a hard problem to study out, and it was perplexing her. Edna Deane, whom she believed dead, had con e across her path again. Of late, she had begun to realize the value of wealth; she was not yet hopeless of winning ltaymond Marshall to her side; but, if he learned that Edna was alive, if old Mr. Kalston assorted that she was an impostor, what then? Darker and fiercer glowed the ba-ilisli eyes; more somber an 1 t a;i - grew the sinister face. She daro 1 not let Edna go froo; it imant ultimate disaster to all her hopes and plans. She proceeded, finally, to an dher room. In o e comer o; it tv.ts a large cabinet.

"Qualities." A writer in the SI. James (ftizetta says that Professor Sylvester tells au admirably illustrative story about one of hia students at the John Hop.kin's University : "This aspiring youth wanted to become a mathematician; and ho had heard that at the topmost summit of the mathematical treo stood a mysterious subject known as the doctrine of 'quauties,' a calculus of calculi, only to bo grasped by the furthest stretch of tho abstract mathematical faculty. iSo ho came and asked to lie taught 'qualities.' It was in vain that Professor Sylvester suggested simpler preliminary geometrical and algebraical studies ; the young man wanted to learn 'qualities,' and nothing lint 'qualities' would ho l:nvo." This anecdote is iiili-udtil to showthat Americans are in to get on. and arc not disposed to submit in patience to the training requisite for the highest success. This is true. It is the fault of hopeful, eager youth who see great opportunities opening on every" side, for fame, for fortune, for usefulness, for enjoyment. They aim at the best without always attaining to it. They sec the rapid advancement which civilized society has made in the domain of v. now continent, and they unconsciously participate in the rapid movements of the times in which they live. How could it bo otherwise in a land like this -especially if it lc true that this century (as Dumas, the French physicist, has said) is to lie known in history "as tho age of electricity." Wo do not know whether the story about Professor Sylvester is true or not. but it bears the mark of verisimilitude, Yet, after all, it is no discredit to the country or tho yoiith that there i such a pre-eminent professor of matl cj latics among us, and that his presence is inspiring even to those who are but tyros. We can tell a story which is suggested by that of the St. Jnmeg. A few years ago a voting schoolmaster of Pennsylvania, shaving, though more wisely than the tyro, the American enthusiasm for tho best things, and especially for qualities, went to Baltimore to study with Professor Sylvester, with this result : that before long the writings of that young man wero used as a text-book iu the University of Cambridgde, England.

An Important Errnnd, A cotitlnctor on a Missouri, Kansas and Texas train approached a swelllooking colored woman, arrayed iu all the glories that ribbons can lend, aud asked her for her ticket. "Go way f nm y'ah ! Don' lioddor mn with none yo foolishness!' she exclaimed, bridling with indignation. "Come, give up your ticket !" remonstrated the conductor. "I tole yo' go way f um y'ah !

"Ise gwine to de haiigin' a piece down yere, and, nio'n dat, Ise gwine, and yo' can't stop me!" "Who're thev going to hang?" asked a passenger, who had become interested in the discussion.

The Farmer and the Grocer, A grocer would not pay a farmer the price of a tenpound turkey for one that weighed but seven pounds. Why should a farmer pay a grocer the price of the Royal Bttking Powder for a baking powder with 27 per cent, less leavening strength ? The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests to be 27 per cent, stronger than any other brand on the market, Better not buy the others, for they mostly contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid ; but if they are' forced upon you, see that you are charged a correspondingly lower price for them.

Transfer ot .Music Tlirmigii Jleaunt. The follow ng beautiful experiment, described by l'rof. Tyudall, shows how music may l:o transmitted by an ordinary wooden roei. In a room two floors, beneath bis lecture-room thero was a piano, uiidii which an artist was playing, bat the audie ice could not hear it. A rod of deal, with its lower end resting upon the sounding-board of the piano, extended uowartlH through the two floors, its upper end being exposed beforo the lecture table. Hut still not a sound was heard. A violin was then placed upon the end of tho rod, which was tnrown into resonance, by ti c ascending thrills, and Instantly the music of the piano was given out in the lecture room. A guitar and harp were su jstitiited for the violin, and vvitli the same result. The vibrations of the piano strings were communicated to the sounding loard, they traversed tho leuig rod, were reproduced by the resonant bodies, the air was carved into waves, and the whole musical composition was delivered to the listening audience.

' It is now apparent to the Directors of the World's Columbian Exposition that millions of people will be denied the pleasure of becoming the possessors of World's Fair Souvenir Coins The Official Souvenir of the Great Exposition' The extraordinary and growing demand for these Coins, and the desire on the part of the Directors that equal opportunities may be afforded for their purchase, have made it necessary to enlarge the channels of distribution. To relieve themselves of seme responsibility, the Directors have invited THE MERCHANTS Throughout the Nation to unite with the Banks in placing Columbian 1 iulfDollars on sale. This is done that the masses of the people and those living at remote points, may be alforded the best possible cpr.oi Junky to obtain the Coins. THE FORTUNATE POSSESSORS of SOUVENIR COINS will be those who are earliest in seizing upon these new advantages. $10,000 Was Paid For The First Coin
