All the mornlnu of the Wth she wnt ab.. nt lookiiiK like a (tbost, with pale lips am! hollow eyes. At noon Tom brought the news to lior. Kvcn he was elated mid interesti-d this time. "Olorions news'. a treineiidnns victory; our loss compnrativdy trillins." A momentary sense ot relief came over .lime, to 1h crossed immediately by a mispiviiiB. "A comparatively triflins loss" to i. nation may mean hundreds of stricken homes, hundreds of broken women's hearts. She must ask the question. "The Guards?" she faltered. Tom did not know; no particulars had arrived yet; this was only a telegram from the station. But he would ride over himself at once; for, even if he had been jealous ot Dallas, he did not foret in the moment of dancer that lie was his cousin,
and was really anxious to hear of his ; safety. i The time until Tom returned seemed J like' eternity. Kveu then the news was j

Foot Guards nude.fire, but in second line. The third week of Mrs. Trevauion's visit was drawing to a close. It was a dull, gray afternoon. June was cowering over a fire; she had a lit of shivering, and felt more than usually unwell. For the last few days a listless feeling had crept over her; she had no appetite, and felt ill and depressed. She had refused to have a doctor, but to-day Mrs. Trevanion had insisted, and a servant hail been dispatched to summon him. "I wonder," said Mrs, Trevanion, "how nllas is getting on'? I don't think his Inst letter was quite so cheery as usual, lie had looked forward so mmdi to Cairo, hut it seems they are all disappointed
and dis-nstod with it, and would rather j be in the desert." "Oh." exclaimed .inue, suddenly, with j
her eyes fixed on the window, "there is Agues. I am getting positively to hate the sight of her." "Ix-ave her to nie," observed Mrs, Trevanion. "I will talk to her." A minute later, Miss Kllesinere was announced. She cauie in with a longer face than usual, and in her linnd she held au orange envelope. As June saw it, a deadly chill took possession of her; she shivered violently;
jn-r teeth chattered in her head.
"1 have some dreadful news, salil Agios, fixing her cruel eyes on June's face. This telegram came for mamma from Aunt Violet. She was out, and papa
opened it. Mr. Hroke died of fever last uight in Cairo."

CIIAPTKIl XXVI. Lady Ncvil was carried upstairs to bed, and it was more than a month before she was able t be moved from it again. The doctor pronounced that she was sickening
for a fever typhoid, lie tea red. i roni the moment when Agues iold the cruel news, she never perfectly recovered consciousness, but was either insensible or delirious. The day after June was taken ill little Tom began to sicken, and in live days lie died. Sir Thomas was like one stunned: lint his intense anxiety about his wife nmde the loss of the child perhaps less agonizing. If only June were spared to him. he felt he could bear that other grief, awful though it was; he realized once again how he loved his wife, and what hi r death would mean to him. His remorse was grievous to witness, lie iinule no attempt to conceal it from Mrs. Trevanion. Indeed, it was the only thing could talk of. He clung to her, imploring her not to leave him. He seemed to hang on her presence as the only chance of saving his dnrlii g. To Mrs. Trevauion's relief, the name of llallas never crossed June's lips. iHiring ihnse drondrul days of her poor little child's illnes. death and burial, June was happily uiicoiiseioiis. She knew nothing of Tom's ngonized face, as be came in
with hushed steps and haggard eyes frum
that other chamber where half his hope? j lay dead from the little waxen iignn j that it would have broken June's heart to see. This anguish at least she was spared. Vhon tbe funeral was over iioor Tom jsi ii to creep up to the nursery and sit with bis face in his hands. Sometimes he
would lake up one of little Tom's toys, and then, poor fellow, lie would, burst
into n terrible passion of dry sobs, v hen he came down he would go on tiptoe into
his wife's room and look at Her in aunin despair.
After the twenty-first day .Tone took a turn for the better. For the first time she looked at Mrs. Trevnufon wirb recognition in her eyes, and put out a wasted waxen hand to her. 'Have I been ill?" she asked, i.1 a languid voice. "Yr u will soon be well now, dear child," answered Mrs, Trevanion, in her choerirsi tones. "Where is Tom?" she asked, presently. "AVonld you like to see hiin'f" June made a gesture of assent, and Mrs. Trcvnnioc. went to fetch him. "Hut." she said, as he was preparing
with alacrity to obey the summons, "not in these clothes," looking at ths spurning garments he wm wearing for his lost heir. "And if," he voice fnltwinc, "f she nsks for ths Tvmr jlarlinif. V i'-'t try to command jr?wf, and MJ Unit lis has gone away to stay." Tmn arrayed himself in an old shooting suit, and went o'i tiptoe to his wife's room. What an eager light there was in his honest face .i he approached the bed and once more s-av recognition in the eyes of his beloved! She smiled faintly and held out her hnud to him, and he took il iu his as tenderly as though it might melt awav at a touch. 'Vhore Is Utile Tom?" asked June, faintly. "I want to sec all the family." M. 7rffTftak tutw tJto convulsive
with a fixed look,
"Is it true?? 's what triie. dearest?" "iiallns!" utiered June, in a low voice, Mrs. Trevanion hid her face in her hands, and tl-e tears fell thick and fast
through her lingers, "How linrd!,' said June, and then closed her eyes and relapsed into silence. The doctors inow gave every hope of her recovery. When she wr;s well enough to be moved, she was to be taken to the seaside, and, as Mrs. Trevanion could no longer be speicd from home. Mrs. Krynn was to be ins-ailed as head nurse. "Oh." said Tom, in a melancholy voice, as they sat together after dinner on the last evening, '"what shall 1 do without you? I don'tj believe my poor little girl would ever hjive pulled through but for you." "When she is stronger, yon must tell her," answered Mrs. Trevanion, with tears in her eyes. "And when yon (alk about your dreadful los, it will be heartbreaking at first, but It will draw you closer t jgetlwr afterward. And now," looking very kindly at his grieved face, "do you feel sufficiently friendly to allow me to tnke a liberty?" At this Toin jumped up, nnd, wining round tc her, seized her hand and held it
fast. "Whn-: In the world might you rot say or do?" And he took the chair beside her. "Von know;" said Sirs. Trevanion, after a slight pr use, "when our poor darling was so ill and we did not know which way
it might turn, I would not allow jm.ii to
reproach yon -self in any way on her account; but, now that she is going to get quite well and strong again, you must be all in all to ench other, just as yuu were when fi:st you married." Mrs. Treva lion pause ,1 a moment; then, looking at hi n very kindly and speaking in a low but resolute voice, she proceeded: "So tliird icrson ought ever to be al
lowed t come between u husband and
wife. The curse of most of tile misunder
standing betv.eet. you and dear Ju:.e has
been the interference of Miss Kllesinere.'
"Yes. yes." said Tom, heartily. "I am
sure you are light. Hut I think, with poor
Agnes, it was what you would call want of tact more than anything else. How-
I ever. s.M'ing tue expression of dissent on
his friend's face, "it shall never happen
again. No or'ie nothin.; shall ever come
betweei: my j wife and me. Please Ood
she gets wclj, she shall have it all her own wry." ! Mrs. Trevanion smiled. "I think you will tint!," she said, "that June is less likely to be spoiled by too much kindness than by the othei: method. And I am quite sure that a rinn as good nnd kind as you are oug.it to make any reasonable woman happv, and vill do so when left to yourself."' j "Oh," cried Tom, derccntiiigly, "don't say anything about me! I'm a very poor sort of chap, I'm afraic!" "No, yon are not," said Mrs. Trevanion, smiling and putting out her hand to him. "Hut you are nolle the worse for lieing modest, and when I come to stay w ith you again I know I shall find you tbe happiest couple in the world." "And we will be. thr.hks to yon!" cried Tom, f.-rveutly, still grasping her hand. "It will be thanks to the natural good finalities of bolh of yon, anil to there being no one to interfere," uuswered Mrs. Trevanion, kindly.
"Madge!" remonstrated her husband, pretending to look shocked, but iuwardlv amused. " "This letter," cried Madge, waving it in the air, "contains the most delightful news in the world news that will fill each of your separate and nil your collective hearts with joy when yon hear it. 1 will not take up yonr time by asking yon to try nnd guess, because you never would. Our dear Agnes is about to become a Hishopess. Hut do not, my loves, be too elated by the grandeur of the connection. He is only a colonial bishop. Listen to mother's letter. " 'It seems that Agnes produced a great Impression upon him when he saw her a year ago at the Marsloiis'. He thought her so very sweet, nnd was so struck by her earnest interest iu mission work. So he begged Mrs. Marston to invite them to meet again, and proposed to her the day l.fore vesterday. She is to accompany
him to Africa 111 the spring, it will be a reat trial to part from her, especially as we have already lost one of our dear children, but, if it is for her happiness, we must not consider ourselves.' "Fancy Aggie Bisliopess of the ( nnnlbal Islands!"' cried Madge; "perhaps they will eat lier some day. I wonder if a
t woman tastes better man an oi-o.-
? I reniemlXT finite well meeiiug
the bishop at the Marston' nnd thinking him one of the most odious ami doiuineerwretches I ever saw. He is very small,
with . oal-bia. k eyes and lieurd, and a eomplevion of a decidedly liverish hue; he looked as though he might have improved it with soap and water if he eared to. but J don't think he did enre. He had a delightful conviction that ninety-nine out of every hundred souls would go to a naughty phue, end he looked as if he had a foNMen.per. So Ague's sweetness will have firll scope." Madge tittered her tirade with such a mixture of dt ollery and mnlicc that even Tom burst o.it laughing.

in bis wife s boudoir before tinnier
he had resumed this old aueeiiomne customJune said, leaning her head against

We must give Agnes a very nnimsouie

Pixkhayi: It is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hopinf? that it may induce others to avail themselves of your valuable medicine. "After the. birth of my little pirl, three years ago, my health was very poor. I had lcucorrhaja badly, nnd a terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until I could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Menstruations were very profuse, appearing every two weeks. ' I took medicine from ft good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming nlarmed over my condition, when I read your advertisement in a paper. I sent at once for a bottle of Lydin E. 1'inkham's Vegetable Componnd, and after taking two-thirds of the bottle I felt so much better that I send for two more. After using three bottleB I felt as strong and well as any one. "I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet suffering from this trouble." Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared.

CIIAPTKIl XXVII.
It was tin first week in January. Sir Thomas and I.ady Ncvil were stnyini; at
their place in the North. I.xtensive alterations were being nude at the Hall, ami, indeed, both its master and mistress shrank from the idea of returiiins to the place where such terrible calamity had liefallen them. June had almost recovered her hcolt'i, though not her spirits. Her child's deal i had bee:i n crushing blow; it seemed to her a srt of divine retribution for having thought too little of him in his lifetime. Six months ago niiyone might safely have predicted that the boy's death would have fallen with ten times more severity on Tom than on .Tune; but such was not the ciim. Tom was almost cheerful, while Ins wife wns a prey to the deepest grief. Now Tom Snly had one object In life to devote himself to June, to heap love, nffcotlnn, caresses np ni her, to prove to li!r beyond nil doubt how thoroughly and entirely she occupied his heart. And June, if she remained sail, thoroughly appreciated his kindness and tenderness, and was always ready to reciprocate it after a gentle and subdued fashion, very different from her gay, coquettish manner of old. Time would doubtless bring that
Vack, but if would have lieen strange and unnat'irnl that she should so soon forget. Her heart had returned to its old allegiance. Tom was again the one man in the world whom she loved, and whose existence iyas necessary to her. 'When she thought of her dead young hero, il was with tlif' tenderness of a sister's love, and she could thank God, oh, how fervent
ly! that IK' word had ever been spoken between them that mlpht tarnish her memory of liiini or cause her a single l ang of sel::'-rcprnneh. Mr. nnd Mrs. f'arslake were their only guests, and thoroughly congenial ones. Madge's brightness and gayety. tempered by her sympathy for her cousin's distress, made her presence most welcome to June, and Mr. ("arslakc, who possessed a very kind heart and considerable tact, was excellent company for Tom. He was, niorr-evt-r, an eseellent Kisrisuiun, and. with his host, enjoyed the capital sport which the p ace afforded. Mudge wns exceedingly happ". lieing neither finite so s.--timeulnlly inclined in r so exacting s her cousin by disposition, she was in no danger of suffering disapp .intinent or disillusionment, and wan perfectly satisfied with the vry real if ntidenionstnitivc-in-
public affe tion of In r lord. 'I ii in sn.-e," she said, laughing, to June, "any one might think that you and Tom were bride and bridegroom rather thnn Holiert and I. As for Tom, I believe hr must have, been taking lessons in the art nf love making, he dues it so well." Toin am: Madge had inmlc up their differences a id were fit. the old aflcliouate terms again.

service of both, without any of the advantages and annoyances of a main line sounder. The mechanism of this little instrument is very simple, consisting of a set of electro-magnets of from 2 to lot) ohms resistance (according to requirements). An Ingenious arrangement of
the armature and lever brings the former iu actual contact with the poles of j the magnets in such a manner as to j double the working force of the armature. The armature lever Is provided with hammers, which. In fiction, strike upon a rc-sonatin? plate; a shifter or switch at the side of the case draws the hammers from ti e plate and reduces the sound to a minimum. Owing to the loudness of the sound when t ie hammers strike upon the resonating plate, messages may be received with the sounder placed on the table or desk, and in this way it may also be used for a call, thus combining in one Instrument lxth a loud and secret sounder. Should it be desired to take a secret message, the sounder is adjusted from the outside by means of the shifter referred to, which is graded so that the operator may regulate the vol- ; me of the loudest sounder. The Instrument Is then worn on the head. The

woman in the New York Herald remarks:
"A woman walking along the street
ilr.igtiing from a quarter to half a yard of dress material behind her will gather i-noiiirh microbes In one block to inocu
late h-.-r with diseases enough to kill a
dozen iiersons." She continues:
dainty woman paradhig the streets iu
an imisorted costume, silk lined, exqu's-
lady lilted, is nothing more than an animated street sweeper, gathering up the
dirt and dust accumulated In the gutters on the crossings and sidewalks.
Half an hour's walk with a trailing

Before the year 1700 these were so nearly alike that he would have been a wise prophet who truly foretold which would thrive. Indeed, many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis were to be the two great Aaierlcan seaports. Great cities arise at the points where the greatest number of people find it convenient to meet at first for business, and later for pleasure. You cannot force a city to grow In an unnatural or unsuita Ai'e situation ,- isai )t !s so to prevent a city from growing In its proper place. But the conditions that change a village into a Dig town, and expand the town Into a city or metropolis, are not the same in different parts of the globe, and vary " ith the march of tie centuries; so that now many an ancient world-market, like Nineveh or
Memphis, has totally disappeared:
while town.? like Berlin have lately in
creased with amazing rapidity, after a
long history as small and Insignificant places. As for New York, It has never
halted nor gone backward for a moment since It was fairly started on its
career in 1023. St. Nicholas.
