CHAPTER 111. Selwrn Castle crowns the summit of a (nil hill, whose sides, covered with trees md flcwers, sloe down to the sea. No nnrk surrounds it, but the pleasure (tronnds are extensive ind mafrnificeiit. There is, too, n deep, clear Inkc of vast ?xtenr. bordered by drooping trees whose branches touch the wnter. Though there is no inrk, the Thornleigh woods are close nnd the Kiver Thome runs nt the foot of the bill. On this morninc, a fair one in June, the windows of the breakfast room at the Castle were thrown wide open; the wind came in, in great perfumed gusts; the
Bowers outside seemed as though tbey bowed their heads in greeting; iilies nnd roM-s were nt their fairest; the sunbeams twept through the flower shnded windows, and they fell upon a quiet, pretty scene that spoke of home, affluence and ele
gance. They fell first upon the proud, imperi-
jus face of an elderly lady, the mother of
the carl, the Honorable Mrs. Gerald iselw yn, a lady who sits calm and erect,
There is not a bend in her figure, not a wrinkle In her calm, pntrician face; one
;ao sec thnt she is proud to a fault, scru
pulous, ambitious, worldly nnd fond of
life. The snnbeams fall on something else on the proud, high-bred face of a young girl, who is arranging some lilies so as to form a bonquet on a beautiful oval face, with a short upper lip and a fresh, ripe under one, with clear, calm, proud eyes, and straight brows a girl with a long, graceful, white throat and small white hands, with every mark of race about her a thorough patrician; no smiling, dimpled beauty, full of wild, fresh impulse, such as Violantc Temple. A court beauty, this an aristocrat, with all the haughty loveliness and dignity of a queen. And this young lady, who moves with such calm, serene, proud grace, is called Beatrice Leigh. She is the niece of Mrs. Selwyn, and cousin of Lord Vivian. Next to her own son, Mrs. Selwyn lovci. Beatrice Leigh better than any one else in the world, and from the first momen: the child entered her house, she had on wish, and it was that her proud, beautiful niece should marry her son. As children, Vivian and Beatrice spent much of their time together. When be finally went to Oxford, and then into the army, they were separated, Vi7ian totaining for his beautiful tittle playfellow a warm, kindly, brotherly affection. She, fed by bis mother's continual praises ot him, and constant reiteration of her wishes, gradually came to love the brave
young captain better than all the world besides.
She looks very fair and serene, as the
sunbeams kiss the beautiful face and the white dress; her hair, dark and shining like the wing of a rare bird, is braided round ber beautiful head, after the fashion of a Grecian statue, leaving the two pretty, pearly ears to be seen.
Letters!" cried Ben trice, as the foot
man entered. "I wonder if Vivian has written; if he is still lingering at thnt wonderful place what is it Woodeaveti, in Leicestershire? What possible attraction can he find there? Ah! this is his
handwriting, I am sure." From a number of envelopes she selected the one having his writing upon it. Mrs. Selwyn smiled as she did to. "How quickly you have found out, Beatrice!" she cried. "Now, what does he say?" She read the letter hastily. "He is coming to-night," she went on; "and, Beatrice, he says he has a surprise
for us. What can it be?"
"A surprise!" she cried, a sudden gleam
of light making her face still more love
ly; perhaps he has brought you something, auntie."
But Mrs. Selwyn shook ber head. "It do not fancy that is it," she replied. I fancy, Beatrice, it is something about
himself. What has he been staying nt this place for? Listen to what he says:
1 hope to be with you on Tuesday night;
prepare yourself, dear mother, for a surprise that will, I hope, be a pleasant one.' What can this surprise be, Beatrice?" continued Mrs. Selwyn; "he has done something that he thiuks will please me, rely on it."
Beatrice had regained all her calm. "We shall know to-night, aunt." she
aid quietly; "and the day is too warm
for conjectures. CHAPTER IV. The clock on the Castle tower hsd
struck seven, the cook bad sent more than one messake to say that dinner was ready.
and the Honorable Mrs, Selwyn, who hsd expected her son at six, began to grow anxious.
Suddenly carriage wheels sounded,
stopped there was a coufused noise, the hurrying of servants; then the drawing room door opened, and Vivian entered. He looked very handsome in his traveling
dress. He went up to airs, selwyn and kissed her.
I am late," he said; "but there was a
delay in the Thornleigh train. How well
you look, mother!"
Then lie turned to Beatrice, and as he
looked at her he started in surprise.
'Beatrice, he said, "it would be an old-
fashioned compliment to say that every time I see you you have improved, but. it
is the truth."
Her beautiful eyes -grew bright with
pleasure.
"You shall pay us as many compliments
as you like alter dinner," interrupted
Mrs. Selwyn; "now go to your dressing
room -you must no ramisned.
No word was said of himself during
dinner; but they talked of the.young hero.
Mcrtio xempie, anu or nis early Home.
It must have been a comfort to his
father to have Been you," said Mrs. Selwyn, with the proud, quiet complacency
of patronage. "They arc people quite in
bumble circumstances, I suppose? ' The young carl's face flushed; a quick word rose to his lips, then he checked himself. What need to feel angry? If they were in humble circumstances, he could soon remedy that. "They are not millionaires, mother," he replied, "nor even what the world calls rich. The father, Mr. Temple, is a gentleman; not only well educated, but a scholar; he is a lawyer by profession, and lives in a very pretty house called Oaksidc." "And the sister?" said Mrs. Selwyn, utter a few minutes. His dark face flushed. "She is older than I thought to find her," he replied; "and she lias hair just like poor Bertie's." Beatrice looked up at him with a quick, keen glance, but the flush bad died away then, and Vivian was most composedly eating his dinner. But when dinner was over, and they had returned to the drawing room, he did not seem quite ro much nt his ease. Bentrice drew an easy chair to the open window, and looked out at the bioomiug flowers. Mrs. Selwyn reclined upon a conch near her, and Vivian sat down upon a little low stool at his mother's feet. She laid her hand caressingly on the dark hnir. "And now, Vivian," she said, "what is the surprise? Again his face flushed. "That is the very thing I was waiting to speak of," he replied. "I hope you will be pleased to listen to my atory pleased as I am to tell it. "I am in love at last," he continued. "All my life long I have wondered what this strange passion men call lore was
like. I used to believe it would pass me
I went down to poor Bertie's home, I met
mv fate."
Not a stir, not a word from Beatrice
Ielgh. Mrs. Selwyn moved uneasily. "I hone what you call your fate is wor
thy of you." she said. "Kemeuiber, you
are head of an ancient nnd glorious race
head of a grand old family that has never
known anything save honor, lucre i
no duchess in England who would not
proudly give you n daughter.
"It is no duchess' daughter that I have learned to love," be replied with a smile.
"Oh. mother, yon must not be disappointed. You must not damp my happiness. 1
love Violantc Temple, nnd have asked her
to be my wife. "A lawyer's daughter!" cried Mrs. Sclwvn: "a simnlc conutry Eirl! Oh, Vivian,
what an end to all my dreams and plans
for vou!"
He laughed; bowing his handsome,
stately bead down to her.
"Now, mother," he cried, "you are to
kiss me and wish me joy.
"I cannot!" she cried. "I cannot, Vivian. I am most bitterly disappointed to think, when you might have chosen from the fairest and noblest in the land, you
have thrown yourself away so cruelly.
"Nay," he said, with imperturbable good
humor, "do not say so. lou cannot judge
vou have not seen my love.
"I know what country lawyers and their
daughters are like, as a rule," she replied;
"and. Vivian. I am in despair.
There was an awkward silence which
lasted some minutes. "Is it irrevocable?" asked Mrs. Selwyn. "Have you really pledged your word?" "In all honor." he replied. "I have even
asked that my marriage nay take place in
September. Mrs. Selwyn positively groaned.
"It is useless for me to interfere," she said. "I cannot forbid it. Vou are your own master. It would be nonsense for me to say that I shall not allow it; you
will do as you like; but I must express my
stern dislike and disapproval. It is an al
liance quite unworthy of you, and you might have aspired no matter how high." "Beatrice," he said, "help me to convince my mother. You are young and
beautlfui, and love will come to yon some day, as it has come to me. Tell her help
me to make her believe that lore is the
only thing for which s man should ever
marry. Help ber to mane ner nice my love."
There was a world of dreary pain in the
dark eyes raised to his, world of anguish nnd untold love.
"I should not know what to say," she
replied in a strange voice unlike her own. And then Lord Vivian Selwyn of Sel
wyn Castle stood embarrassed and uncer
tain what to do. He had some misgivings as he journeyed homeward that his mother would not think he had done anything to add to the family renown. All the Ladies Selwyn had been women of high birth; he was the first to break the rule.
wen, saio airs, oeiwyn, witn a re
signed smile, "it is bad news worse could not have come to me; but if it be irrevocable, I must make the best of it. I would far rather you bad chosen a wife from your own class. I regret most deeply ths choice you have made. Vet I promise you, having said this, I will say no more. I will do my best to like your wife, Vivian, and to make her as happy as I can." And with these cold words, the master of Selwyn Castle was forced to be content. Long after he slept that night, the two ladies, aunt and niece, sat up talking in low tones of what he had done, and Mra. Selwyn conclnded with the words: "It will not end happily, I fear!"
CHAPTER V. They talk about it now in the pretty, picturesque town of Woodeaves that wonderful wedding, the like of which was never seen there before or since. The wedding of the young earl with Lawyer Temple's daughter. They tell you of the bright morning, the blue sky, that had no cloud; the golden sun, that seemed to rain down blessings; of the western wind, that might have blown straight from the spice lands, it was so fragrant: of the birds that snug as though the wedding had been in the garden of Paradise; of flowers that bloomed so fresh and fair, as though in honor of the golden-haired bride herself, the fairest flower of all. Dim eyes are reading my pages now eyes that look back through the long vista of years eyes dimmed and dulled with heavy tears; and they took back through weary years of trouble, of toll, and of wrong upon the wedding day. The day that they believed was to be the last of sorrow, the first opening into a golden life of hope and promise. There were grand friends of the young earl, officers in glittering uniforms, lords whose names filled the simple country people with awe. The bridegroom's mother was not there; she. It was rumored, was busily engaged in superintending the wedding fetes given at the Castle. There was a whole string of bridesmaids, the prettiest girls in the county, who were
proud of the honor of attending one who was so soon to be Lady Selwyn. The old parish church, with its tail spire and gray walls, looked its best; it was filled with a brilliant crowd. Little children flung flowers under the feet of tbc bride, flowers whose thorns pricked her sorely in the sad after days; and then, as she stood in the center of that magnificent group, while the words of the marriage service were read over her, every one saw from the eastern window a golden sunbeam streaming in and forming a halo round her fair young head. Some smiled as they saw it, but it brought tears into other eyes. People looked at each other and said: "Happy the bride the sun shines on." While, as they went into the vestry to sign the books, Vivian whispered to his wife: "Even the sunbeams kissed you, my darling, and no wonder." Horace Temple was like a man in a dream; he had been :n a dream ever since the night Lord Vivian Selwyn asked him for his daughter, and be could not recover from It, nnd now the grand climax had arrived; his little Violantc. his fairfaced, sunny-haired child, whose laugh and song were both wild as n bird, was married; married to n rich and handsome young nobleman whom any lady in the land might have been proud to have called her husband. He was so bewildered that he did not even recognize his own house. Lord Vivian had doae as he liked even with thnt. "Take no heed, give yourself no trouble about tbe wedding breakfast," he said. "The easiest nnd simplest plan will be for me to send to Gunter; he will supply everything needful." So Horace Temple, on this his daughter's wedding ilay, sat nt the head of his own table a tnble Inden with delicacies, with ripe fruits from every clime under the sun, with rare wines, the names of which bad never penetrated Woodeaves a table whereon silver shone, aud richly rut glass sparkled, aud be said to himself it must be a dream. When she remembered it in after years it was to Vioinnte a dream of sunshine, and song, and fragrance; of love, that she thought, almost divine in its tenderuess; a dream whereou brilliant figures ami strange faces u'ere all confused: only her father's face, fhining out from the group with the wondering, anxious expression she remembered so well, aud tbe handgome face of her husband shining down on hers. The speeches were ended- The sua was
by. and I should never know, but whenfuU in the tk;r whev rm car
riage ttst was to take the bride and bridegroom away drove up to the door. Most of the guests were goiug by train a few minutes afterward. There was no mother to clasp her loving arms around the young girl just crossing the threshold of another life; no sister to kiss the fast-puling fn-e and whisper golden prophecies. But when his daughter bad changed her dress anil stood in ber room, looking round for the Inst time, Horace Temple asked if he might come iu. "Vivian is very good," said Mr. Temple, "and he loves you so much, my darling, I have no fear. You will be very happy." But she clung to him with weeping eyes, "If you are not," he continued, gravely, "always remember, Vinlnnte, while I live there is a home and the dearest of welcomes for you here; always remembei you come back to me whenever you will; and if this guy, new, bright world frowui upon you, you huve a home here." But she shook her head gravely. "You are nil thnt is kind, papa," she said; "but there is no goiug buck; whut is done is done forever; there is no going back. I shall be unppr, I nm sure; but who could say farewell to such a pleasant, happy, sunshiny life as mine uns been without tears?" She kissed him, leaving her warm tears wet 'Upon his face, and then passed out of the pretty, white, fragrant room, where the happy hours of her innocent childhood hud been spent. The dream of her wedding day finished by a crowd of smiling faces, a chorus ot good wishes, her husliand's animated farewells. Another minute and she was in tbe traveling carriage; Onkside had disappeared, aud Lord Yiviau Selwyn had clasped her to his heart, saying: "All mine at last! Violaute my wife!" To the Scotch lakes they went. And amid snch glorious loveliness of sea aud sky as Violantc had never even dreamed of she finished the lesson of love she had began to learn at Woodeaves. There, alone in the sweetest solitndf under heaven, Lord Vivian grew almost to worship his beautiful youug wife. He could see no fault, no shadow of imperfection in her. There were no envious eyes near to note when she did not feel quite at her ease, and he thought her shy, blushing, timid niannr more winning, more charming than anything he had ever seen. When the chill days of November cants and they went home to Selwyn Castle, Lord Vivian was more deeply in love than ever with his fair young Violantc. (To be continued.! GUNS USED BY SOLDIERS
Description of the Kra-Joraensen and tbe lc Rifles. Since 1890 tbe regulation rifle of the United States army, supplanting the former weapon, the Spriugtleld r'Sp, has been the Krag-Jorgensen magazine rifle. It was adopted upon the recommendation of- a board composed of Licrat.-Cols. R. II. Hull nnd J. P. Farley, MaJ. U. 1). Freeman and Captains S. E. Blouut and George S. Anderson. The result of one of the tests in competition with other weapons follows: For accurate aim the Lee showed -10 shots in two minutes, the Krag-Jorgca-sen 82, the Springfield No. 1 3d, and the Springfield No. 2 35. In the firing at will for one minute the results were as follows: Lee 28, Krag-Jorgensen 2S, Springfield No. 1 24, and Sprtngtield No. 2 17 shots. Upon the results of tbe tests, approved by Gen, Schofleld, the general commanding the army, tbe Krag-Jorgenseu was adopted. It has a magazine chamber for five cartridges, which can be dropped by the simple pull of a bolt. It Is possible to load single cartridges, and fire one after another, reserving those in the magazine for time of need, when tbe five shots can be tired without pausing to reload. The cartridges arc of an alloy of tin and lead in a steel case. In passing through flesh and bone, or any solid substance, they make only a small wound, but in semi-fluid matter they explode, so that a man shot in the intestines or brain is practically blown to pieces. The reason for this property of the bullets has never ben satisfactorily explained. The gun the marines are armed with is the Lee rifle, a magazine gnn, with a caliber of 0.23(1 inches. Its range for point-blank firing is between GOO and 700 yards. Smokeless powder is used with it, and a hardened lead bullet, which has a copper jacket plated with tin. The gun has a magazine for five cartridges,' which are put In at once, being fastened together with a metal clip. The gun can be used for firing and reloading after each shot, or the Ave shots can be fired in quick succession, and the guu reloaded with five more while it Is at tlio shoulder. The chief advantage claimed for it Is that the cartridge chamber can be opened by a straight pull and without turning np the gun. The gun without the bayonet is almost four feet long, and weighs eight pounds and six ounces. The bayonet adds about eight inches to the length and a pound to the weight. The cartridge is about three inches long, and ISO rounds weigh eight pounds six ounces. The Mauser rifle, which the Spanish troops are mainly armed with. Is of much the same construction as the Lee, but it is declnred that its effective range is a little greater. It has the cartridge inserted in clips of five nnd single ones cannot be used. The -Mauser has au "tip-turn"' nnd "back-pull" for reloading tbe cartridge chamber. New York Tribune. Children's Pears. Some interesting facts dealing with the fears of children have been collected by a well-known professor. He found that 1,701 children were afraid of 0,54(5 things. The leading fears were lightning and thunder, reptiles, strangers, tbe dark, death, domestic animals, water, ghosts, Insects, ruts nnd mice nnd high words. Some of the fears were the results of personal experience; that is, In a district where a great wind had wrought a havoc the children wore afraid of it. Iu other cases the analysis showed by what means parents had worked upon the imagination of their children. In one district sixteen poor little ones were dreadiug Hie end of the world. The most gratifying fact of all was that not one child hud been frightened Into obedience or good conduct by the fear of the devil. A century or two ago thnt fear would have led all the rest. Tho pleasing inference is that pnrculs now dwell upon affection ami love to insure tho goodness of their children, instead of terrorizing tbeui with Satan's wrath. Correct Knotigh. "Now, boys, 1 have a few questions in fractions to nsk," said (he teacher; "suppose I have a piece of beefsteak nnd cut it Into sixteen pieces, what would those pieces be culled?" "Sixteenths," answered one boy, after meditating a moment. "Very good. And when the sixteenths were cut In half, what would they be?"
There was silence In the class; but pres
ently a little boy at tho foot put up his baud. "Do you know, Johnny?" '"lash!" answered Johnny, confidently. Current Literature. Longest Day Around the World, The longest day in the year nt New York is ID hours, at London W, at St. Petersburg 10, at Toruea, Fitihind. IKi.

No Swapping. "It's no time to swap horses when you are crossing a stream," said President Lincoln, on being urged to change one general for another, on the eve of (i battle, but this story suggests tbe origin of the famous reply. A Hoosler was traveling down the Ohio on a steamboat, with his mare and her 2-yenr-old colt. The ca.'ceniug of the steamer, as she grazed a sandbar, pitched him and his horses Jnto the river. As be rose, puffing and blowing, he caught bold of the colt's tall. The mare made for the shore, but the. frightened colt swam down the current. "Let go the colt and catch on to the marei" shouted the passengers ott the boat. "That's easy said," exclaimed the Hoosler, "but this ain't exactly the time for swapping horses to a man that can't swim."
