BY MRS. M. CHATTKIt V1T1. The crowd of guests streaming iti kept the Earl well occupied; He stood at the head of tb.fi salon, the slight form in mi tin and diamonds beside him. To all and oach Alice gave, her sweet smile and gentle word: no trace 'of fear or nwurkdh'ess was in her demeauoi'. Kveryone was amazed. They had come filled with a wild curiosity to see the farm-girl who had so suddenly and strangely become a countess, and instead of beholding a series of terrible social blunders performed bv a f-tiudy dairymaid, tliey saw nothing but a lovely patrician giri, whose charms and wondrous beauty eclipsed even Miss Valerie Ross, long considered the goddess of all loveliness by the folk around the castle. From her chair. Lady Durrcll noticed their astonishiuenl: and felt that she sympathized with it. Her ltcurt woke from the bitter disappointment that had lived in it ever since the day she learnt of her son's marriage, to admire most genuinely the fair young wife. 'Where does she get her manner?" she mused to herself. "She is pat rician from head to foot. Roy has no need of shame to-night: his wife has achieved a success.'' Then she sighed a little as her eyes wandered to a tall stately form, on whose red, brown hair the rubies and diamonds quivered like jeweled dewdrops. "Poor Valerie !'? she said to herself. "If it only could have been ! I am sure she loves Roy now whatever her feelings were before Eustace died: She, too, would have made a proud obuntcss to-night. Yet this girl holds her own." At last the guests were assembled, the testimonial was handed to the Earl, and dinner was announced. Alico found herself lod in by Sir Robert Carlyle, and smiled once or twice to herself as she read the admiration and amazement on his face. The dinner proved long and tedious to her, thouch not to the majority, fof they ate heartily. Alice had more pleasure in looking at all the wonderful gold and silver ornaments, cups, goblets, dishes, and vases, that stood on the tabic. It was a glimpse of fairyland to her, and the Earl, glancing from his seat at the far end of the room, watched her bright look of admiration, and felt again that new sensation which was growing stronger and stronger in his neart. Dinner over, the ladies withdrew. and Alice found hei time occupied in chatting with all the great dames, whose faces she recollected from see ing them in their carriages dashing along to Nestley town. Valerie had said little an evening, but she was thinking the more. Her hate for Alico had grown to-night to a passion; the truth that Roy was gradually becoming interested nay, attracted by his wife, lashed her to madness. It was indeed woman against woman. Lady Darrel was right, Valerie loved Roy now with all the power of her heart; not as she had worshipped EuefaHa Hut n m.Afit iDcclnn Of genuine affection and tenderness: she had been living in n dream these two days past. She felt secure in rov s love, and thought e)f Alice only as a cloud o:i the horizon of nor Happiness: out now sue realized she was indeed living in dreamland. Roy's eyes all this night had rested on his wife; a dawn of something new and such as had never come for her, appeared on his face, and Valerie saw tfiat once again her happiness would oa wrecKea. She had as vet no plan: she knew not what or how she meant to do it: but she swore to herself that before many days the Earl shou.d bo effectually separated from his wife, my Lady Aliee, and turned to her. The man coming in from the smoking-room disturbed her thoughts. Lord Radine hurried up to Alice. "Countess." he exclaimed, "how beautiful you look to-night! could not approach you befora dinner, you wore so surrounded. The pale cheeks produced by the ghost have quit e disappeared," "Ghost?" repeated Count Jura, who had strolled up to Aliee also; "have you been frightened to-day. Countess?" "Yes," Lord Radine went on: "we rode overtothe abbey ruins, you know, this morning; and as wo wero alwut to mount the remains of the tower, Lady Darrell turned deathly white, uttered a slight exclamation, and lied hack to to the air. When 1 taxed her with seeing a ghost, she declared such to be the case." Alice had grown pale during this speech. She had looked up and met the gaze of Valerie's eyes burning with their passion of hate, and there was such a semblance at that instant to the sinister faces of Paul Ross, that she felt again the dread that had attacked her in the ruins. Count Jura watched her cheeks blanch; his brows were knit. "Why, Lady Darrell," ho exclaimed, "you surely don't mean to tell me you are afraid of spirits?" "Not spirits." Alice answered with an imperceptible shiver, as Lord Radine turned to a lady closo by: "but of men, Count Jura, I am afraid." "sne naa seen faui, was uount Jura's swift thought. "Then you think this was a man?" he continued easily. "I am sure of it." The Count elevated his brows. "Shall we tro for a stroll into the hall and conservatory?" he said in his most graceful fashion. Alice hesitated. She would much prefer to have remained flone. Somohow she disliked ami feared this man, butshe could not refuse. Roy was speaking to his mother as they passed. Lady Darrell saw the glance he gave to his wife, and the way his brows contracted as if with pain and vexation. "Roy," she said aloud, softly, ".she does well to-night, and how bountiful she is!" Roy turned and grasped his mother's hand. "Thank you, dearest," ho said hurriedly: "She is indeed most beautiful. Mother, I begin to think wo have judged her harshly: recollect, she married mo thinking to save my life." "1 do remember i!," answered his mother gently, "uud for the future she sbajl be welcome to me as my daughter; my pride has been against her all this time, but to-night she stands revealed a lady in every sense of the word, and you have no need to blush for your wife." "1 shall seek or send to the Browns to make every inquiry about her birth. I am certain sIm has proud blood in her veins, mother, and does not belong to them." Valerie was just behind him as ho exclaimed t his. "Discussing my Lady Alice," she observed, with un effort to keep her sneering temper down. "She has really astonished me. What u born actress the'girl is:-' "Actress!" repeated the Earl, vexed beyond measure at the words; "it is not acting, Valerie; it is nature." Valeria" bit her lip, her worst fears were continued. She altered her mood. "I congratulate you," sho said softly, just glancing at. him with her lustrous eyes: "it has been a severe tost, and no Ono among Jum- friends is inure pleased at thi-sirtvess than I am, Roy.'1 Roy's face softeno l. "Thank you, Va eric: it b,li,-e you to be ro kind. I am anxious that yon

The words were spoken bravely. JJone knew what an agony of pain was living beneath that smiling oxterior. Lady Darrell overheard her son's request and her face was puzzled. "Roy is like all men -clumsy," she said to herself. "Valerie will never be a friend to his wife." Alice, meanwhile, walked away with Count Jura, She scarcely heard whut he was saying. All the evening her memory had gone buck with a thrill to her husband anil his request. To-morrow they were to meet and walk together.' It was like a beautiful dream to her, and unconsciously brought her happiness. Count Jura led t he way to a marolo unterooin. Statues gleamed white amid the foliage of rare tropical plants, dim lamps were hung alwut, an I a fountain played in the center. "Let us sit here awhile,'' he said as he led her towards a velvet couch, placed close to the fountain: "we have had no time for a chat, Lady Darrell." "Nor shall I have ar.y now." said Alice hurriedly, forcing herself to smile. "You forget. Count, I have my guests to atte n 1 1 o. " "And am l not one?" he asked quietly. Alice opened her fan and moved it to and fro, but did not answer. "So vou were frightened in the ruins to-day?" wont on the Count, drinking iu the fair loveliness of her face with passionate avidity. "Yes: but it was very stupid of me. Please do not think me a toward. Count." "And if you are afraid in broad daylight, how can you have t he courage to sleep in a room with all these glorious jewels?" He touched a glittering bracelet as he spoke. "I am not frightened in my own apartment," Alice said, wondering just a little at the way in which he always discussed the diamonds. The Court noticed her surprise: he adroitly changed the conversation. Ah. you should see the wonderful caves and weird nooks I have behold in my travels. Ghosts and spirits dwelt in them, indeed!" "I should be glad to travel and sec cither lands." Alice spoke dreamily. Vou would?" broke in the Count. "Ah, how would you like to leave this ; cold desolate place, and see nothing but blue sky. sunshine, and Mowers? j Fancy a garden, with orange groves ; scenting the air, with terraces leading down to a bay as blue as blue as your starlike eyes! One can be happy in a i homo like that!" "Do you know of such a place?" tho girl asked eager to continue this eon- i vernation. "Y'es, I know of such a raradiso. It 1 is mine all mine. Now it stands J empty and deserted: it only waits for a mistress-a mistress fair, lovely as the ! sun, with gentle grace and maddening : eyes such as yours. Yes. you are ' ; "Count!" . 1 Alico rose quickly, but his arm stole round her slender waist. "Yes. yes you are the only woman in the wide world that could bring happiness in such n home. Have not my eyes spoken clearly? Did you not understand? Alico my Lady Alice j listen ! I will take you away 7mm all : this gilded misery: you are' wretched : here. I can give you more1 love. : Yes, girl; you cannot understand what 1 a passion is devouring my heart. For you I live alone, for 1 love you !" j "Let mo go!" breathed Alice, wrenching herself from his grasp. "How dare you? How dare you insult me like this!" "Insult!" The man laughed. "What! you pretend you have not seen my love'r" "Your love !'' repeated tho girl with deepest scorn. "I have seen nothing: if I had, should I come hero to hear 1 vour insults? Go go at once ! You are a coward ! I scorn vou I hate you !" "Hate me! Heware, Lady Darrell! I am your friend, your lover now. but make' mo your enemy, and I will light you to tho end." The girl drew up her figure to the full height, and pointed her right hand to the doorway. "Go!" she "said quietly. "lam not ingnteneu; a man to use t m eats to a woman must ho a coward. Go!" Tho Count turned, then swiftly raov-! ing back, he seized her arm and pressed I ins nps to it. witn a passionate ioivo ' i.. mured. "You shall Ik- In my power-I , swear it!" Alice stood watching his retreating 1 form: her hand was clenched on lie'r arm where his lips had touched it. Sho felt siek and ill, and was trembling in evorv limb: she put out her hands wildfy: pride had lent herstrength.bnt now when she was alone, her .strength went quickly, and scarce knowing where she wus.she sank ont tho couch, J white and almost insensible. Her eyes were e'ose l: she did not ' see a man's figure enter the doorway and approach. She dimly heard a sudden exclamation, and knew no more till she felt herself gently lifted and j clasped in a pair of a'-ms. Then she opened hor eyes, and her glance fell on tho fair handsome face of Roy Darrell. "You are ill," he said hastily. "What is it? Whut has happened?" : She drew her hands across her eye-', ', then with a shudder remembered all: ; her lips opened to speak of the ( ount's perfidy and insult, but she ,-aiidenly recollected that he was the Earl's guist, and checked herself. "I ain tired," she murmured: "the: ride was long, and the evening has , tried me." " es, yes, you are quite fatigued: ; why not retire to your romnV my ' mother will relieve you of the rest of j yon duties." Roy was gating at her nncoiieimis of j the glow of tenderness that shono in his face. j Alico felt it. and it thrilled her; strangely: she stood upright and put ; aside his hands. I "Ko, no," sue said hurridly: "I must ; remain: it. will not last much longer. : Thank you for your kindness. 1 'ad we ; not better go to the salon aain?" "Yes, if you wish it," the Earl answered gently. "But where is the! Count he came out with you?" j "lie left me u few minutes ago." i "Roy noticed the sudden Hunhonthe fair fai'e, and again that pang of jealousy came. "Vou like the Count?" he asked abruptly. Alice hesitated a moment, the.i looked at him full as she replied. ' 'No; 1 dislike him." Hoy felt his heart rise. "lie will not remam much longer. Let ine load you back; we may be missed." Alice put her hand on bis arm. and together they moved towards the doorway. As' they reached it Roy stopped.

J The SlioollnB' l Ny "As t-t the con feasor," said Marconi Key, "leave nic alone. I have no n, cd of black coats." At this liKt phrase, one of the two grenadiers in charge, rising, said to him: "Vou j are wrong, Marshal," and, showing I him his arm ornamented with several j chevrons addd: "I am not as IIj lustrioiis as you, but I am nlfo a vet i eran.

I will receive him after my wife." The counsel of the old soldier had been listened to. Key refused naturally to place him self on his knees and to allow his eyes to bo bandaged. He only asked Com mandant SaiutrBias to show him where he was to stand. He faced the platoon, which held their muskets at "the recover " and th n, In an attitude which I shall never forget, so nob'.e was it, calm and dignified, with out any swagger, he took off his hat, anil, profit ng by the short moment which was caused by the Adjudant de l'lacc having to place himselt on one side, and to give the signal for flrinir, he pronounced these few words, which I heard very distinctly: "Frenchmen, I protest against my I sentence, my nonur at, wiese : last words, as he was placing his hand ion his heart the detonation was , beard; he fell as if struck by light' : nlim.

A correspondence of this nature ! was recently attempted between notorious Parisian thief In durance i vile and his comrades outside. The prisoner was sent a letter from h liancee containing merely a lock ol hair wrapped in the leaf of a book. The gaoler did not consider the sou venir important enough to be t:ciiV' ercd. but a few days after came j ! similar inclosure, and yet another. : This aroused suspicion, and the Gov ; cruor took the matter in hand. He i examined the leaf of the book; it was onlv that of a common novel, twenty six lines on a page. Then he studied ' the hair, and noticed the small quan tity of the gift. Counting tho hairs, he found them of unequal length i and twentv six in number, the same as the lines of the pages, struck with the coincidence; he laid the haiis along the lines of the page which thev respectively reached, be ginning at the top with the smallest hair. Alter some trouble ho found that the end of each hair pointed to a different letter, and that these let ters, combined, formed a slang sen tenco, which informed tho prisonei that his friends were on the watch, and that the next time ho left the prison to be examined an attempt would be made to rescue him. The Governor laid his plans accordingly; the attempt at rescne was made, but I the reseurers fell Into their own trap. Subduing Krigands iu Sicily T-hfl ltalian Government has at length commenced to grapple in earn est with the V orknien s Socia Istic Associat ons in Sicily.
