WOMflJ, RGfllNST WONRJI. i BY MRS. M. E., HOLMES

CHAPTKlt V. Alice awoke early the nest morning. She had indeed slept but little. Her wtlundcd pride and aching heart proved veritable thorns in her pillpw. She was haunted all night by the vision of Koy's fair handsome face bending over Valerie) head, gazing into he eyes with an eternity of love. She 6 Id not like Valerie, yet she was just. " It ia I who keep them apart. What can I do what can I do?" was the thought that raged in her mind, and to this she could find no answer. Sne rose and took hor bath, then robed herself in her simply gray gown, and wrapping a mantle round her, for the moaning was ohillo, she left her apartments and stole through the silent corridor to the gardeus and grounds. Through the two months that had elapsed since the strango and terriblo episode that had changed her whole life, the girl had lived entirely alone. She save herself up to study, and books, and for recreation walked a while in the park, till she knew every nook aid corner by heart. No thought of pride or joy that she was part owner Of this proud estate came to her milid as she nassed thrbuffh the avenues of leafless trees-, and caught glimpses of the castle, standing nice a f reysentinei in tne DacKgrouna. Instead, she wished now, day and bight, for something that would free her from her husband, and take away the shame that huag over her. She walked on ouicklv. The wind was sighing in the trees, sounding mournim ana weira to tne ears. At la-'it she reached a spot she frequented most. It was thickly wooded, and even how, though autumn was1 at hand, the leaves were scarcely thinned. It was quiet and secluded, and Alice loved it. She flung herself down on an old trunk, t.nd gave way to her thoughts. She heeded not the chill wind or the mournful rustle of the trees, but after she hail sat some time, sho became conscious of the approach of some person or persons and roused herself to listen. The voices came on the air. "I tell .you, Paul. I can do no more: I have nothing nothing now but my few jewels, and you know I must keep them, even if they were worth much, which they are not." "Can't you ask the old lady?" spoke the deep tones of a man. "Impossible utterly impossible, Paul!" "Then the devil knows what Is to'become of me, Valerie." bne .vas surprised, and a little alarmed, but she thought it wiser to sit still, and perhaps the speakers wo!ild pasj-. "You know;" went on the man sur lily "yon know how I am situated. I consented to wait while you came here, but time has gone, and now it is two months, and you have done nothing for me ' 'Havii you forgotten how I am placed?'' asked Valerie angrily. "Have you forgotten the murder?" Tne man laugned. "No, I foreret nothinar, but T, none the less, am angry. , Vny did you not grasp Koy Darrel when you had your chance? Wnat fool's nonsence was in your head?" "Whet? Love," said Valerie quietly, The man laughed again. "Pooh and bahl You, Valerie Ross, stayed by love. No, no, my sister; some other tale not that. " "It is the truth, nevertheless." broke in Valeiie's voice, broken, harsh, and agitatec. "I loved Eustace Rivers. Ah, you may shake your head; yon did not see, you were blind as to what was going on in our little cottage home in Everleigh, when Eustace's regiment was quartered near; you little thought of the dreams that came to me for one brief moment of my great happiness." Alice sat metionless, she hoard the man strike a match against a tree as if to light a cigar. "if I nad -known it l should nave ended it pretty soon," he said quietly. "When I came to the castle." said Valerie, "you thought I did so to please you. It was to follow Eustace. I had grown jealous, he was altering to me. Lady Djirrell had written often pressing me 'or a visit, so I embraced the opportnity. Roy did at once what you prophesied he would fell in love with me, but I wa3 blind to it then. I cared only for Eustace. All my life was for nun. Koy taunted my footstep.-;, yet gave aim no encouragement. Then Eustace and I quarreled. I pressed for our marriage, ho demurred again and again, ana a coolness arose between the two men over me. I know not how, but God torsive me -I believe now Eu-stacc maligned me to his freind , and that Roy in his love for me resented the affront. But let that pass, f snail never know the truth now. The day before the murder Koy sought me, begged for my love; he asked no questions, but gave me two days to consider. I wanted no time, I was bound to Eustace forever. Thenthen came his death, and then' my eyes were opened. I was no longer a fool; I knew that what I had thought love was a pastime to him that i had thrown my heart's best before the feet of one unworthy. " it ycu naa connaoa in your orotner you would have known in good time what class of man was Eustace Rivers; tJUt 1 "But I did not," answered Valerie's voice, "and now let the past so. it is dead and buried, anci with it my fool's nonsense, as you call it. you must be quick oi" some one may sue us. and it will do :ne no good to let tho servants observe me walking in the early morn ing with a most questionable-looking scoundrel like yonf" "True sisterly anection, upon mv word. But you do not keep to the truth. You do not mind the servants; you fear Roy Darrell. What would he say to soe you walking witn a man a questionable-looking scoundrel?" faui, you are abeurci: ik you for get he has a wife." iso, answered i'aui very s:owiy: "but I iancy you will bo tempted to do so before long." "What do you want.' broke in Val erie sharply. "Money is scarce with my, I cannot keep on this constant supply. ' you nave a good banker to so to Roy." "Paul!" "Well well, Valorie. desperate cases need desperate ends. I t;ll you money I must have to get mo away from here. Palton is on ray track. Only fifty pounds." uniniiy pounas: - repeated vaierio in alarm. "I have not half that sum about me, nor in my possession. It is impossible." "Twenty, then." "I will nvo you fifteen pounds, and that will leave me just ton pounds to get to the end of rny visit." "The end of your visit:' iaugned the man scornfully; "why. if you play your cards well vou will visit here forever." 'lieave me alone V play my cards," Valerie exclaimed passionately. "I wish you were separated from tne by worlds I wish we m ght never meet again I wish " i wore tteaa exa-niy. sneereti ner brother. 'Yoi. have debased mid d( graded mo," went on Valeric.

do not know bi your existence they shall never know if I can prevent it." "You are quite right, ma hcore. Valerie Ross, beautiful, gifted patrician, would look ifl-classed with Paul Ross, No. 29, Con" "Hush!" , There was a sound as of something put over his mouth, thoA Alice heard him laugh outright.. "You think these trees have oars,my sister?" "I do not know what I think, but take care, Paul breathe but once again your shameful disgrace, and I will neve!1 " "Help me again. Well that is just what I don't want, so trot away, my dear; the socretis safe. Bo quick with that money. I am due at Nestley in an hour's time." "Stay here, and I will bring it to yon." Alice heard a light step pass away, and sho sat on undecided what to do. She was in a corner, hidden well from sight. Any one pocring round

would scarcely have Qisimgnisnou nor gray dress and cloak from tho treetrunks, but she could see a little way out on to tho wider pathway, and as Valerie disappeared, she heard the man laugh softly to himself, and saunter to and fro whilo he waited. Alice drew herself back as sho saw his figure cross the small Bpaco at the ppenihg ofher hiding-place, and as he turned and strolled back she glanced nervously at him. He was like Valerie, but coarser and harder, and his cheek was disfigured with the scar of a wound that gave a sinister look t'd his face. He was humming to himself, and did not glance up or down, and Alice drew a deep breath of relief as ho passed. Something about the man gave Lady Alice a sense of alarm, and she was glad when after some moments she heard Valerie's fleet footsteps returning, and heard her panting voice sav: "Here, Paul! And now go. There is no use hanging about, I must return to the house." "Thanks, my swoet sister. Yes, I will go. That is my address should you desire to hear irom me. I shall know where to find you." "Leave me in piece for a while," Valerie said abr.upt.ly. "Give me fifty pounds, and I will leave you altogether." "I cannot, Paul. I have not the money; If I had, you " "Should not have it," finished the man "Paul, you are ungenerous; but I am a fool to do as much aa I do for you!" "You are no fool, Valerie! You don't want to have mo come boldly up to the castle, and ask for my sister eh?" Alice heard Valerie's sudden exclamation, and then she heard the man kiss his sister, and leisurely depart. She waited to let them bbth pass away, then, rising, made her way slowly back to the castle. Paul Ross strolled leisurely throngh the woo s, until he came to a pathway that led to the village, and past the dreaded Madman's Drift. Here he stopped and uttered a soft, low whistle. In an instant a man had crept from beneath some b.'.slies, and stood upright Paul Ross moved towards him. "Well," said the other man, "how much?" "Fifteen pounds!" "Fifteen pounds!" repeated the other. "Your sister is not generous." "Valerie swears she has only ten pounds more, and I believe her." "She may have no more, but " "Have you examined the entrances well?" queried Paul Ross. "Not ail; out tney are not tumcuit to manage." "Where do you sleep.'" rue man laugnea, "In the guest's corridor a most noble apartment, my friend. The earl knows how to lodge his company." "Much valuables about?" asked Paul Ross eagerly. "Much?" echoed the other. "The castle is a veritable gold-mine ! By Jove, Ross, that was a good notion of yours, the trip abroad. "Yes; I flatter myself that I am not so stupid as Valerie thinks me. She is the fool in this case." "You mean in not snatching the earl before the murder and the row?" Paul nodded. "Well, it was a mistake; she has lost her chance now." "Paul Ross looked up suddenly. "What is the girl like?" "Who?" "Well, 'my Lady Alice,' as Valer e calls her," laughed Paul. "Like?" repeated tho other. "She is most lovely. Paul, can it be true about her Jowly birth? I have never seen a more beautiful creature among all " "AH the ladies of family and fortune with whom you are on such very intimate terms eh raon garcon?" Paul leisurely puffed away a clou 1 of smoke. "Well, she is plebeian for all t'nat, merely a farm-wench: hor people vrere bought off ti e estate and sent away, but my Lady Alice is part of them for all that." "Sent away!" repeated the other man as if he were t hinking; "then she is alone here quite alone." "Except for the Karl, her husband;! but mind, George," added Paul Ross, j with his expression changing sudden- j ly and darkening, "no fooling; wo are I hero for work, not play you under- j stand?" j "Perfectly, my good Paul: now au j revoir. I must go back-there is tho i gong 'or breakfast. The plans shall I reach you to-morrow or next day, and we must meet once more before" Paul nodded, slouched his hat over his ejes, and walked awayquicklv. Th man called George dived back into the bushes, cropt along for a time, then emerged into one of the avenues leading to the Castle. The n he overtook a slight girlish form i n gray, hurrying towards a side entrance. Good-morning, Lady Darrell," he said softly. Alice turned and blushed slightly. "Good-morning. Count Jura. I "did not hear you coming. Yo.i have been for a walk, I, too, like the early morning best." "Will you not entorj this way?" asked George, otherwise Count Jura. Alice shook her head. I always breakfast in my own apartment. She bowed and turned away. '.' 'Alone,' Paul said," muttered. Count Jura, as he stood watching the girlish form vanish, "alone. What a fate is hers! And how beautiful! Pshaw! Paul is right. 1 am here to work, not play; so now to breakfast with my friend, the Earl." CHAPTER VI. Valerie reached tho C'artle in time for breakfast. She ran quickly to hor room, threw oft her long mantle, and after a few hurried touches to her maguiiicent hai'.-, swopt leisurely down tho wide stair-case, locking as' if Bhe had but just left her bedroom fresh from her maid's bands. She met Coun: Jura at the door of the morning-room, and Moiled graciously to his courteous greeting, little, thinking that as ho bowed a Took of amusement settled in his eyes as he recalled Paul, and her prido. Roy hastened to meet the tall beautiful woman, his eyes sjieaking the truth of his love as he approached her. Lord Radine came in while they iking all night, , ember who it is ; sn.ee to in your i Iftt down the tt? ft

"Does not miladi the fair oountos breakfast with us?" demanded Count Jura, as Roy made no answer. Roy flushed, and Lady Darrell looked uncomfortable. "The countess; or as I playfully call her, rriy Lady Alice, always breakfasts in her Own room. Sho prefers it," answered Valerie. Count Jura bowed. "What are our plans for to-day, my lord?" continued Valerie, easily to the earh "I thought a ride to the Old Abbey?" said Roy. "Radine, you would like that?" "Very much," ugrecd Lord Radine. "And you, Jura?" "I regret 1 have important lettors to. write, you will pardon ine?" "Oh, of course," said Roy, quickly; "I like everyone to do as they please hero," "Why not ask you wife to join us?" propose! Valerie. Tho Earl looked pained. The very sight of Alice seemed to him torture, recalled tho agony ho had endured, and the fact that he was separutod from Valerie torover. "If you will ask hor, I dare say sho will come," he replied. Vaierio rose with a laugh. "I shall bo ready in ten minutes, and my Lady Alice, also." Count J ufa held the door opon for her. ahd sho swept out; sho mounted the 'stairs, and turned into tho corridor that led to Alice's room. "Got on your habit and dress quickly; your husband desires you to rido with us this morning." Alice rose from her books. "I will be ready," she answered. TO BK CONTINUED. J

The Dime as a Tip. Few feel more the prevaiiingtenddency not to shell out cash in a CoalOil Johnny style than tne waiters in the fashionable hotels and restaur, ants, but the; do not get much pity. Why the average waiter in such establishments should look with scorn and dislain upon a dime is hard to determine, lb is more than $100 can earn in a day in the best possible investment, and no good reason exists why the waiter should get anything, as full 10 percent, additional is charged in such establishments for the scrvica The trouble mostly grows out of the passing reign of wild extravagance in which fools who squandered theit money have been in the habit of posing as great personages by tossing the waiter a dollar bill. There is hot much of that done now. It must be apparent to any one that a quarter given at every meal to a waiter in a little while runs to an amount that is more than most people get in interest from very large sum of money, and few can afford it along with all other expenses. For instance, there are few lu,000 bouses in Philadelphia at present which bring their owners l a day after taxes and other expenses are paid, and there are plenty of people who are not getting over :i j:er cent, for their money. Philadelphia Times, Tiny Aeronauts. A small spider which was decked in a garb nf brown and had bright, diamond-like eves, crawled up to the highest point of my coatsleeve, then raising its spinnarets aloft, ejected a delicate threat. Every second it grew longer, and as it grew it rose directly upward as if it was vasty ligiitcr than the air, Cp it went, higher anl higher, until I judged it to be three feet long, and then a very curious thing occurred. The spider was aimo.'.t lifted from his legs. Another second and be appeared to be lifted again; then, wonder of wonders, he turned and ran a few steps dir. ctly up the thread into tho air, then turned again, and, head downward, sailJd awan So the thread of silk was, n reality, the balloon. The spider spi is the thread out until the wind lakes and wafts it away. The fluffy plat ''orm is formed later during the flight, and when complete the spider aeronaut rests upon it as securely as ii'.ie human aeronaut in his basket.

Actually, they had already, more than 2,000 years ago, what we call "a penny in the slot" for the extraction of something useful, pleasant, or otherwise desirable. Hereon, the philosopher of Alexandria, describs an automatic machine, which he asserts to have been in use in tho Egyptian temples already for a long time past.even before his time.

One eighteen pointer killed in 1890 comes nearest.
