WOMAN MIN8Y WOMAJi

BY MRS. M. CHAPTER VI Continued, 'Valerie bit her lip. Again this girl foiled her. She thought to have triumphed over her ignorance in this case. 'Can you ride?" she asked insolently-. "Yes," answered Alice, quietly; "Yon are a paragon of perfection indeed," sneered the other Woman as she withdrew. Alio gazed after her sadly. She pi-;ied Valerie now- from her heart, and thought she knew what made her so bhter. The interview in the grounds had Bhown Alice that Valerie had a trouble that was indeed very heavy, especially 1 1 a nature so proud as hers. She callod Davis and put on her habit. Ever since she could remember Alice had ridden, the only difference being that she had sat her steed vithout a saddle, and unencumbered by a long skirt, and now she was checked by society garments and ways. She took her gauntlets and whip, and gathering her habit in hand, opened her door. To her astonishment, in the corridor, sh-s came upon Count Jura walking slowly up it. Ho turned with an exclamation as he perceived her, and Alice thought she mir him put a paper hastily into his pocket. T crave pardon, miladi; I mistake my way. Is this not tho corridor to ttii. guests' wing?" 'No, you are quite wrong: this leads only to my apartments. " Alice spoke coldly; indeed, she felt annoyed. "I am indeed distressed, countess," h observed, courteously, "but I will ta-ce my departure at once." He bowed again and turned towards a door which led into another chamber. "Still you are wrong," said Alice, smiling and pointing with her whip, "(!o straight along, and you will reach the big staircase, then you will soon find your way. The door leads to the empty part of the Castle the 'treasure-rooms as the servants call them, Yes, now you are right." 'Aurevoir, miladi!" Count Jura strode down the corridor. "Treasure rooms!" he repeated to himself. "Paul was right, and yet among all the treasure of the castle Bhe is to me the rarest. " Alice made her way slowly down the sttdacase to the central-hall. She felt excited end almost happy. She always naa that strange nutter at ner neart when near her husband. Valerie, looking like a goddess in her perfectly-cut habit, was standing in the doorway, beyond Which the horses Were waiting. A man's form was beside her, and Alice noticed with a cold sickening sensation how low he was whisDeriug and how eager was his look. She came slowly up to them, and caught a few words: ' 'When I think of it, Valerie, I am nearly mad to know what I have lost Mv life is a misery to me tied as I am to a" Valerie heard Alice's footsteps, and she drew her hand away from his. "It is getting late, we had better start," she said, quietly, giving him a look full of sympathy, and glancing another of triumph at Alice as she hurriedly went down the steps. Ijord Radine now joined them. 'May I put you up, Countess?" ho asked, eagerly. He was a young man, and Alice's fair loveliness had won his warmest admiration. "If you please," she answered slowly. She was still hearing her husband's voice, passion-laden, breathing his love and misery into Valerie's ear, The Earl assisted Valerie to mount, and then the four rodo slowly away. "Wo don't want any grooms, Koy," said Valerie, authoritatively. Ck the Earl waved his attendants back. lxrd Radine srlanced every now and then at his companion's face. "Who was it said Darrell had martied a farm-girl?" he mused. ' 'What a cruel scandal! This woman is poer- ! Countess," he said aloud, "are von in any wav connected with the Ar nolds you know who I mean; they are a very old family the hoad is always called the Master of Arnold?" Alice had blushed, but now she was pale. 1 nave no anstocratic connections, Lord Radine," she answered auietlv: "I am only a farmer's niece. " "But you have tneir face. The Ar nolds are a strangely lovely family forgive me for paying you so gauche a compliment: but you are fairer than was tne ijauy Jimci Arnold, wnose portrait hangs in my mother's room, and who died years a?o, and she was supposed to have been the greatest beauty of her time." "I have no family," repeated Alice. "I was only a fam girl. You will have heird how I cams to -to -marry the Earl; before then I was neglected, illused, and miserable. I even taught mj self-at least, the village school-) master helped m( for some timo, but he died two years ago, and then I had ) no one to assist me." "I do not caro what von wor." ra-ierl 1 JLoro i-fauine, tei-vently, reaching for her small hand and carrying it to his lips; "but to me you are the embodimc nt oi every tung mat is penectjon." 17nlni!a t,,T,ar1 ul t.rnQ matant anA tho earl looking back, also saw the young man's act of courtesy and admiration. "My Lady Alice progresses." re marked Valerie, with a snoer. "Rov. you must look after your wife." Jyjra Jjarrell aM not answer; he un consciously tightened his hold on his reins, and his brows met in a frown. Something in the sight he had iust seon vexed him strangely, and for the first time since his return he beheld Alice's beauty in all its power. vaiene saw the frown and her heart lcrped. 'He is angry with her," she said to herself. She chocked her horse and tho Earl did so also. "What is it?" asked Lord Radine. quickly, "l forget tne exact path," said Va lerie, "and Roy knows absolutely nothing about it." "1 will go ana inquire, " said the Earl. hurriedly. No, Darrell: let me." and Lord Ra dine rode rapidly down the path to the Alice, whose cheeks woro flushed with modesty at Lord Radine 's outBpoken admiration, reined in her horse a faw paces away. Valerie chatted on, taking no notice of the young countess; but, strange to say, the Earl was watching his wife with a feeling akin to amazement and admiration. How well she sat her horse ! How srolden and beautiful was her hair ! what dark long lashes framed her sys! Last night be could see nothing but Valerie, the woman he loved; now his whole attention was turned on the woman he had married. Valerie noticed Roy's changed expression, and jealousy burned in her or3ast. "Come, Roy. Lord Radine is waving to us," she exclaimed, and, he moving to her side, they put their horses to th'strot down the lane. Alice felt a choking sensation in her th.-oat and without another thought, ih-3 wheeled her horse round and cantered wildly in the opposite direction. She had lost all control of her feelings; sobs burst from her lips. The poor young wife was utterly, jerribly unhappy. iihe knew not what to do or where to jo. out the felt that something must o4 the torture she was enduring, or I rtn wst d!o.

E. HOLMES.

She cantered on, unheeding nnd plunged in her thoughts, till tho trembling of her horse caused her to think ot hint, and as she came to a sort bf thicket, she loosened rein and let him stand; . . Sho must have ridden some distance, for even to her, who knew the country well for miles around, having walked it in bygone days, this placo was strange. She looked round at first in surprise; then, a little alarmed, she began to feel weary from her agitation and exercise, wlion tho sound bf a cheery whistle was born to her ears, and the next minute a footstep rustled over the dying leaves, and a tali well-built young man came towards her. He stopped, amazod, as ho saw the lovely girl on horsoback, her golden curls floating from their rough contact with tho wind in picturesque confusion round her face and neck. "I beg your pardon, can I help you?" he said suddenly, lifting his hat. Alice hesitated, then meeting his frank boyish faco. she answered: "If you will; please, I have lost my way." "You arc in tho Abbey Woods wo are close to the old Abby the ruins are just beyound those trees." "The Abbey!" exclaimed Alice in Surprise. "I thought I was quite in the opposite direction they have taken the wrong path." "You have become sparated from your friends?" asked the young man, glancing again and again at her. "Yes." "Well, perhaps I can assist you. Do you want to find tho Abbey?" "I think I had beeter go there, as they will in all probability make their way to it," replied Alice. "Let me lead your horse. May I introduce myself? I am Frank Meredith at your service." "And 1 call me Alice," said the young countess, quietly. "Miss Alice! what a pretty quaint name so old-fashioned! Do you like this part of the country?" 1 am staying down here with friends. I have been Bhooting, as you see, though the sport is not good. Nothing seems to lire round the old Abbey even the birds and insects desert it. It is dead,, indeed." Alice listened to Frank Meredith's easy chatter quietly. She agreed with him in his estimate of the spot. Never had she seen so weird and strange a place, and as they came in full sight of the ruins she could not repress a shud der which tho young man noticed. "Yes; is it not dismal? It looks like a great grey ghost. I really don't think I should care to venture into its gloomy vaults, even in broad daylight." 'Who owns it?" asked Alice suddenly. "My friends did tell me, but I have forgotten, I will ask them again when I go home. Now, Miss Alice, shall I leave you here alone, or will my presence annoy yon if I remain?" "Oh, stay, please," cried Alice, her nerves unstrung still by the terrible strain put on them at the time of Eustace Rivers' murder; "perhaps they will not be long." "I wonder if I shall see you again," said Frank Meredith after a pause, while he stroked the horse's neck: "I am staying here another fortnight," "You may, perhaps," answered Alice: she was drawn toward the young man by his frank ways. He seemed little more than a boy to her, though he numbered over twenty years. "It seems a strange thing to say," went on the young man quickly, "but if ever you want me to do anything for you, if I can, I will." Alice blushed a little, then paled. "Why do you say this?" sho asked hurriedly. "I cannot say. I only know I would give all I possess to be your friend. You don't look happy. I should like to help you." Alice hesitated, then held out her hand. "You shall," she said, simply. "I have not one friend in the whole world. You shall be the first." "Oh, thank you!" he cried. "If you want me, write to me there or there; be sure if I can I will always eomo," handing hoi- two cards. Alice took them quietly. Some curious intuition seemed to come over her that she should need his aid, but she said nothing, and the noxt instant the sound of voices camo to their oars, and the Earl, Valerie. and Lord Radine appeared before them. "What a fright you have given us, Lady Darrell!" exclaimed the latter as he rode quickly up. Lady Darrell! This young lovely girl who had just accepted his friendship! Could it bo true? he thought. "We thought you were lost,my Lady Alice," observod Valerie with a drawl, glancing at her young rival with an expression that said: "We wished it, too." "How did you miss us?" asked Roy, coldly of bis wife. "You have come much the longest way round." "I enjoyed my ride," Alice replied quieuy ana eoiaiy too. 1 am so sorrv you did not see me beckon. "continued Lord Radine. "But now let us explore the ruins." 'By all means 'cried Valerie. Then "Who is this gentlein a lower tone: manv" "This is Mr. Meredith, who was kind enough to show me the way, Lord Darren," explained Alice, quietly. The Earl spoko a few cold words of thanks to tho young man; then, with an expressive glance at Alice, Frank Meredith bowed and took his leave, still plungod in amazement, yet strangely pleased to think ho was her friend. "A vftrv rn'AT.tv W" r Yflnimorl Vo. fieri e. "Don't you think so, my Lady Alice?" "Ho looks good and honest," Alice replied, speaking her thoughts. Lord Radine looked sulky, and Valerie observed once more in alarm, that Roy was gazing at his wife with an expiession of strange interest. Could it be possible he was beginning to admire her, after all? She must work this away, at all hazards. "Now for the ruins! Roy, give mo your hand." Tho Earl was beside her instantly, and she jumped to tho ground. Lord Radine put up his hand to help Alice. "I don't think I will come, ''she said, drawing back. "What, Lady Alice afraid?" observed Valerio with a sneer. "If you are nervous remain out in the air, by all means," said Roy, .almost contemptuously. When he was not looking at Alice, ho forgot her charms, and only remembered her as a blot on his lifer I will stay with you," whispered Lord Radine. "No, I will go," Alice said, firmly, her face growing white beneath Valerie's sneers. "I am only tired not frightened." She slipped from her horse, and gathering Iier habit in her hancl, hurried after the others. Lord Radine tied tho reins of the four horses to a stout branch and followed her. At first Alice could seo nothing, as she crept through tho damp, moldy ruins of what had once been noble halls, but the forms of those two on ahead so lost in one another's presence, but as they penetrated into the gloomy vaults, her strange sense of fear returned, and she shuddered again and again. But for her pride sho would have turned back and fledintothe openair, but Valerie's taunting voice came to her ears. They climbed up the broken fragtent of stone stops to what had been a

tower, Roy tenderly helping Valerie over the rough stones. Lord Radine wont first up the steps, then bont to give his hand to Alice, when glancing round nerrouslyshe thought sho saw something glittering from a dark corner beneath an ancient archway. She cheeked the cry that rose to her lips, and glanced again; this time sho saw plainly the something that glittered were two dark oyesset in a pale, grim face, Sho drew hor hand swiftly from Lord Radine's hold, "I can go no further; I am tired," sho said, hurriedly, and turning, she lied white und trembling back to the entrance. "My Lady Alice is frightened after all," sneered Valeric, with a short laugh. Roy glanced at his wife's palo face contemptuously, then turned a look of love and admiration on the proud, beautiful woman beside him. Lord Radino hurried up to Alice. 'You are looking quite startled and ill, Lady Darrell," ho said, in consternation. "What was it did you soo a ghost?" "Yes. I saw a ghost," Alice answered, faintly. She did not 'add that the ghost was a man of flesh und blood with an ugly sear across his face; sho was silent beneath Valerie's scoffs and cruel sneers, forbearing to answer them as 6ho might have done, for in that ghost in the dark corner she had recognized Valerie's disgraced and hated brother, Paul Ross.

Tit les of Books. A north country paper givos some humorous examples of inadequate titles taken from tho notebook of a librarian, and I commend them to the notice of our public librarian, who may, X doubt not, be able to sup plement, but not excel the following list: 'The Works of MacSadler" (Max Adler), "Tiie Quinseys and the Opium Heater," "Jane Hair," "The Middle Age or Alum" (Hallam), "Maud Arthur" (Morte d'Arthur), " Shoppinghour " (Schopenhauer), ' Charles Lamb and the Asses of Elia," "Carlyle's French Revela tions," "The Dictionary of "V erbal Words," and "The Decline of Gibbon." A parallel list to this might have been compiled by the lady who, according to Chambers' Journal.drove to hi r bookseller's to demand a copy of 'Ton Cu'xotc," by Charles Dickens, and declined to accept the "Don Quixote" of Cervantes in its stead. A recent number of the Gentlewoman, too, quotes a similar malapropism, A lady living in a country house sent a village lad to buy a package of Nelson's gelatine, and said: "You won't forget Nelson, you know, who won so many battles." l:?ack in due course came the messenger with a box of Wellington knife polish. Leeds Mercury. The Ijst of Two Old Prisons. Two famous Parisian prisons will soon cease to exist They are the Roquette, near the Fere Lachaisc Cemetery, and the prison of Ste. Pelagic, with its souvenirs of the Reign of Terror. The French Government intends to build a la rare prison in their stead, a little way out of town at Freanes, on the Sceaux Railway. The Roquette prison is chiefly known as the p!ace outside which the guillotine is erected whenever there is an execution in Paris, It lijs, as most visitors to the French capital are aware, in a narrow street leading to the I'ere Lachaise Cemetery. It was there, in the quadrangle, that the Archbishop of 1 aris and his brother hostages were shot by order of the Commune in 1871. Upon an iron grating on tho door of the cell in which the archbishop was confined for forty days before his murder, lie wrote in chalk the words "Crux Ave! Spes unica," They are still legible. It was in Sainte Pelagic that the last batch of suspects during the Reign of Terror heard the joyful news of the downfall of Robespierre. There is a tradition that they first guessed how matters wore going outside by hearing a jailor say, "Uow, then, Robespierre, " as he gave a savage kick to a dog. Ifow Chinese Are Kdncated. The Chinese children have instilled into them at an early age habits of hard, steady st udy. At the age of 5 a boy begins his schooling. At daylight he rises, and after dressing as quickly a; possible, he starts breakfastless to school. He is given a task, and after it is completed be is allowed an hour for breakfast; again, later he has an hour for luncheon, but he is at his study nearly twelve hours a day, seven days in the week. All this time when lie is not reciting his lessons, he is studying aloud at the top of hisvolce. He is under the eye of his master both in SL'hooi and on bis way to and from school. The lad is taught rudimental astronomy, physics, and natural history, but greater stress is put upon writing and his literary studies. "A Thousand Letters," a poem, is the study that forms the backbone of his literary education. In it are taught the duties of I'hilaren to their parents and all such matters. Whatever the study may .-be, history, classics or science, every lesson is learned and repeated word for word. Never Sleeps IjOii)jcr than Fifteen Minutes. The Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria is never allowed to sleep longer than fifteen minutes at anyone time, and it the attendant should allow the holy one's nap to extend beyond the allotted time the penalty is decapitat'on.

St. Louis Republic. What the Little Boy Thought. The lady had given the small boy an apple and he had said nothing in recognition. "What does a little boy say when he gets anything?" asked the lady insinuatingly. , He hesitated a moment. "Some little boys," lie said, "says thank you;' S3mesavs much "obliged,1 and some just keeps thinkin' how much better an orange is than an apple." Detroit Free Press. A Proper MesscnKcr. Monsieur Calino recently sent a new servant girl on an eir.ind. Green to city ways, she lost, her way and did everything wrong. "You've no sense at all!" Monsieur Ca'ino stormed, when she returned. "The next time wheu 1 want an Idiot to do an errand for me I'll I'll go myself!" Some women do not make any endeaver to cam a living until they make the discovery that they may never marry.

HAD A TASTE FOR LAMBS.

flow n St. lie imrd Wat Cured of Vicious ltlllilt. A lady had a valuable St Bernard of excel. cut pedigree, trained and in all respects high ideal excellence, save fault he would kill lambs. carefully of wellfor one He was btaten and imprisoned. While matters were in this state .a friendly farmer, who had upon some occasion got into his head the fact that the dog's mistross was fond of pets, sent her a cosset, gay with ribbons, and lookliii! as inuo ent as ianoccuse itself. The lady was in despair. She expectt d that ber dog would fall upon the lamb; but having in the past had much experience with pets, she said that if this catastrophe was to happen, she did not propose to have it postpoifd until she had become deeply attached to the newcomer, and so deliberately led the lamb up to tho dog, said to bitn that it was her lamb, and directed him to watch it. Tho. dog looked at her rather wistfully, evidently requesting permission to tear the pretty innocent, but she sternly shook her head, and, departing, left the pair together on the lawn. S:e is willing to admit now that the trial proved suecesslul that she had no idea that it would, and that she expected to find tho lawn strewn with the dismembered fragments of the lamb. When a few hours later she returned, however, the dog was found to have takeu the lamb Into his especial favor and under his esp cial protection. He lay down with it, he followed it about and seemed to have become uncommonly fond of it in a way nut at all allied to carnivorous instincts. In short, the lamb and the dog became the clo-est of fronds, and as long as the two did live they continued to dwell together in peace and affection. And the remarkable part of the tale is that from thatday the dog no more molested any lambs whatso ever. It was a plain case of siiuiiia slminbus curantur.

The chief of a Government bureau was flattered recently by a request from ? cit zen for ten copies of his latest annual report. The edition of the report was exhausted, but by skirmishing around among public officials and personal friends, the bureau chief managed to secure the ten copies desired, and forwarded them at once, with a letter in which he Incidentally asked his correspondent how it happened that he was so much inte-ested in that special report The reply came, thanking the bureau chief for bis courtesy, and closing with this explanation: "I am not particularly interested in the subject treated ot in your report; but I have one copy of it which I find very convenient and useful as a scrap book, and as I like to have all my scrap-books uniform, I wanted to get ten volumes more to match. " Huntington's Economy. It is told of C P. Huntington that recently upon his receiving a small package a relative discarded the paper and twine, throwing them into tho waste paper basket. Mr. Huntington aroso and. continuing his talk with some gentlemen present, apparently unconsciously took tho paper out of the basket, neatly folded it, and taking care of the string, placed them both in a drawer for further use. Ono of tho party remarking that that was close economy, Mr. Huntington remarked that between that and extravagance there was a wide gap. But Mr. Huntington in '49 run a hard are store in California and paper and twine were not readily obtained, and ho probably acquired the habit of closely saving those two articles. Hardware.

When the force of the wind increased, tho miller w as obliged to bring each of tho sails in succession to the ground, in order to "unclothe" if. but when sudden squalls cumo on this was impracticable, and the mill, in extreme eases, ran away, i. e.. could not be stopped. ! Kvery thing was now done to increase tho grip of tho wooden brake round ! the great wheel on the driving shaft, J and water was poured copiously over them, but in spite of all this, names would sometimes burst out from the intense friction, and tho mill bo probably burned down as the result. Tho beautiful machinery of the modern windmill, by which the miller controls the action of the sails from the interior of the building, has reduced this danger to a minimum. Notes and Queries. She Married Three. Hengravo Hall, near Bury St. Edmunds, which has been sold for over $410,000, at one time belonged to Penelope, a daughter of Earl Rivers. Of this fair aristocrat an amusing story is told. Sho had three suitors at the ! salnc timo' Sir (;eorKu Treuchard, Sir JohnG and wilIiam Hei.vey. and, to keep peace between the rivals, sho threatened the iirst aggressor with her perpetual displeasure, tellingthoin that if they would wait she would have them all in turn a promise which she actually performed. The gentleman first favored was Sir George Trenchard. He died shortly afterward, and it was not long before she became Lady Gage. Sir John, by whom Bhe had nine children, died in the year 1833, and two years later his widow was led to the altar by Sir William Horvey. Tho lady survived all her husbands. Odd Japanese Marriajte Customs. A Japanese wedding would appear to be a melancholy affair. It is not good form for tho bride over there to admit that she is glad to get married. When she is told of tho prospect she is expected to howl loudly and long. Also she must keep it up by day and by night until tho ceremony takes place. After Bhe has been richly dressed for the event sho must renew her shrieks and hang back until one of the attendants throws a veil over her face. Then an old hag takes her on her back and carries her to a sedan chain. When sho arrives at tho bridegroom's house she is a wife, tho simple ride in the flowery chair being tho only legal ceremony required, though profase entertainment and congratulations from assembled guests follow her arrival. Parricides. In Ashantee parricides are tied hand and loot to stakes driven in the ground near a largo ant hill. The ants are then irritated by sticks thrust into tho entrance of their dwellings, a guard is set at a respectful distance to prevent rescue, and the prisoner is left to lie eaten alive. In forty-eight hours nothing is left of the criminal but a neatly-cleaned skeleton, She was s desr, sweet girl, with a complexion ot sri: lit- lovoliueKS, such ss sll young Isules possess kuo ufio Glenn's Sulphur Soap. Evehv man in tho world is telling what he would do if he were a woman and every woman tells of things sho would not do if she were a man. Extreme, Chronic. Torturingj ARE CURED BY ST. JACOBS

South American Ruins, Major William Sully Eeebe, a retired Connecticut army 031001", lias completed a theory whereby he attempts to provo that there are mofu ancient ruins in Bolivar and Peru than there are in Egypt. Ho declares ';ho most ancient remains of former civilization on this continent to be thos'i ruins of temples and of cities that are found in the neighborhood of Lake Titicaca, on the Bolivia-Peru border. Theso relics aro scattered over a great extent of country, and reveal remarkable skill in stone-cutting, in architecture and in ornament. This region is 1 1,000 feet above the sea level, and too cold to provide su.-.tenance for moro than a sparse population, but there is little don lit that its climate and its population woro once very different. Deafness Can't Be CureJ By Iccal applications, as they cannot reach the dise&fted portion of the ear. Thsro :! only one way to cure Deafness, and that is t y constitutional rotuc ifo. Jteafneas is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous litdng ef the Eustachian Xubo. When this tube gets inflamed vou have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, am when it Is entirely closed afness is the result, and unless th3 innamma ion ean be taken out and this lube restored to it noma! condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten aro aauaed by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed oodiUou of the mucous surfaces.

"August Flower" ' I am Post Master here and keep1 a Store. I have kept August Flowerfor sale for some time. I think it is a splendid medicine." E. A. Bond, 1. M., Pavilion Centre, N.Y. The stomach is the re;rvoir. If it fails, everything foils. The liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the heart, the head, the blood, the nerves all go wrong. If you feel wrong, look to the stomach first. Put that right at once by using August Flower. It assures a good appetite and a good digestion.

A Weak Digestion strange as it may seem, fa caused from a lack of that which is never exactly digested . The greatest fact in connection with Scott's Emulsion appears at this point it is partly digested fat and the most weakened digestion is quickly strengthened by it. The only possible Jwlp in Consumption vs the arrest of waste and renewal of new, healthy tissue. Scott's Emulsion has done wonders in Consumption just this way. Pnpared hr Seott k Battue, X. Y.
