CRUEL THE GRAVE; -gesweat* The Secret of Dunraven Castle., * —* BY ANNIE ASHMORE, Author of "Faithful Margaret," Etc., Eto CHAPTER XX—(Continued.) Lady Inchcape seemed deeply agitated; sho clasped her hands tightly with a look of solemn joy. “How wo have sorrowed for him!” she murmured. “Never was friend more bitterly mourned. If you only knew the nobility of his heart—but you shall; since he is alive ho shall bo my own special protege, and tho first boon I shall ask of my dear lord will be to establish his prospects.” “You like him much, then?’ asked Lord Inchcape with quiet enjoyment “And Ulva—did you say sho ahomourned for him?” A swift change passed over the lady’s face. * “Ulva!” sho whispered. “I had -forgotten How shall I break this wonderful news to her!” she and blushed; her-eyes fell before the searching gaze of her husband- yet she nestled towards him with fond submission. “In this first, dear hour of reunion I cannot withhold anything from my lord,” she murmured. “Who and what this young man is I know not, since- ho never obtruded his personal affairs upon my attention. But this I know, that no nobler heart beats than Mr. Edgar’s; he is a true gentleman, and merits all tho friendship which 1 can show him until the day of my death. But I have to confess, that, selfishly absorbed in my own sorrow, I never dreamed of danger to our darling Ulva. It was only since we believed him drowned that I discovered—that—her grief for his death was as deep—aye, deeper far than my own. " Scarcely daring to speak above a whlspersho brought this out, and timidly raised her eyes to read the shocked disapprobation sho expected from Ulva's haughty father; but his countenance was Inscrutable. “And the young man—what were his sentiments?” asked he gravely. “That I would give much to know, ” sighed my lady; “but I believe he gave no expression to them, even to Ulva, who to be sure was seldom teto a-tete with him. Alas! his honor will now stand in tho way of any future explanation. If ho loves her ho will never approach her again. I know that true heart well. Long and anxiously I studied his nature before 1 chose him for my friend. Ah, I see now his reason for leaving us in ignorance of his escape from death hero. He feared his own heart and fled from temptation. Ho must have had some npblo reason, for he was as tender as ■he was brave and would not wautonly afflict us '• “He will be here In. a few days and will doubtless explain all,’’ said my lord, with a'smile, which showed the astonished lady that her confession had not in the least disconcerted him. My*Lord and Lady Inchcape entered Dunraven tower together for the first time. Every domestic about the premises had been called up by Kenmore and marshaled in the vestibule to do honor to the occasion; and beautiful Ulva received her parents in her arm# with love and sympathy unspeakable. During the evening which followed she < otrid not but watch her stepmother in her new happiness with an admira- ' iion verunoar being awe, so dazzling was tho beauty of her countenance, so fascinating her personal manner. Every look, word and motion was instinct with charming soul, her whole being radiated pure joy. It was impossible to look up and meet her liquid smiling dark eyes softly resting upon her without experiencing a vague assurance of happiness in store even for herself. - Ulva’s unspoken grief seemed lighter for the first time; she could believe it possible that God would show her how to bear tier sorrow nobly. And tho romance of her parents’ re- ’ union comforted her; it was so sweet to know that although her life was not to be so bussed there was true bliss yet upon the earth for others. But what said tho maiden's sad philosophy when Lady Inchcape, coming into her room to bid her good-night, drew her into her arms with a burst of tender delight, and bade her, in a thrilling voice, sorrow no more, since there was no more cause. “For ho is not drowned, Ulva, and he is good and true as we thought him, and we shall seo him again—very soon, Ulva, darling, very soon!” CHAPTER XXL “THB FAIREST DAY THAT EVER DAWNED OH INCHCAPE.” Lord Inchcape sought his daughter one day whore she sat alone, plunged in maiden reverie, and a smile was on hts face. “See what I have brought for my Ulva to wear on this bright day!” said he, laying an open case in her lap. “They were your mother’s pearls; they glimmered round her graceful throat, and from her ears and breast, when first my eyes rested upon her, and I ave always kept them for a day in your life like that. I should like you to change this careless toilet at once, my child. Sho wore the stately attire becoming her beauty and rank, and so should her daugtitor to-day.” "And why to day, papa?" asked Ulva, wonderingly,hor hands trembling among the shimmering gems. “Because a guest is at the door who, of al) that cou'd come over tho sea to 81eat-na-Vrecken, I most desire to honor. Don your fairest apparel, then, and your kindliestsmilo, for this is the fairest and kindest day that has dawned on Inchcape for many a wasted year. Come, Ulva;-do you tremble, do you fear, and it is your father who bids you bo glad? Can you not trust me? My own sweet girl, look up, and read the love in my eyes: there, could I wring your little heart?”. No, no, .not if truth speaks in human countenance! Bhd allowed him to raise her by her two hands, and to lead her to a w|ndow, and when sho had stolen another timid glahce. at his eloquent face, a wonderful possibility Hashed upon her; away fled all her sickening apprehensions of some unknown personage coming with her father’s sanction to demand her hand. “Who is coming, papa?" sho whispered, her small hands closing unconsciously round his arm. while a magnificent blush mantled from lily brow to chin; yet she would not await any clearer answer than that which his "laiighing eyes gave her consciousness, but drifted away without another word. They had talked so much of Captalti - j

mission, her Intonfly watching father had read enough of her innocent heart to feel sure of his ground. And hero was Edgar's sloop at last, skimming over tho wild waters to tho lonely Isle; and my lord and his lady had prepared a re option for him, little enough like that which mot him the last time he approached, an unknown castaway In tho wrockod Merganser. He lands, as upon sacred ground; and tho glory of hopeful love Is In his eyes, the proud swing of the conqueror In h!s step. Ho is met at the very tide by my lord and his lady-like wife, with leal Kenmore's rugged face boainlug behind them; but whore is his shy, proud Princess of the Sea? Ah! here she comes, stealing down tho grim rock-path, tho last to greet him, but, tho first in all tho world in hie swelling heart And who so fair and kind in her stately attiro and glimmering pearls as tills proud daughter of tho inchcspes to-day? And there is indeed no more cause for sorrow for Ulva? Is tho tired sea-bird to fold her snowy wings in a haven of joy to-day? There is a sweet wohder in her darkling eyes as sbe flits nearer; and she oomes to a stop close to her father’s side, with faith's unconscious appeal. It Is Lady In licape, surely, this brilliant, beautiful lady, who first greets the stranger with both eager hands outstretched, and her heart In her happy eyes! » Scarcely can Edgar recognize tho pathetic Lady Dunraven whom he left, in . this incarnation of beauty and joy! “Welcome, a thousand times, to our home and our hearts, Edgar Arden!” cries she in a voice like ringing joy-bolls. “I honored yon above all men (save one) when I knew no kinship between us; but i 1 may love the heir of Inchcape all my life!” And she kissed him. While yet his senses are reeling under tho sweet attack. Lord Inchcape is wring ing his hands and uttering words he never shall forget.. “And I welcome you to Dunraven with tho promise that, if your heart’s desire , is in my gift, I will surely give ft you!” Now Ulva, his very “heart’s desire,” what will you say to welcome him? She Is pale and amazed, and has mechanically laid her dainty hand upon the ready arm of faithful old Kenmore, to steady herself; sho gazes and gazes at the young man while her sweet eyes grow wide and fill with tears, and her lovely mouth quivers. But when ho has reached her, and has stolen those dainty hands Into his own close keeping, and is pouring the whole passionate love of his heart through his eyes into hers, she conquers that first strange pang and the gnawing thrill that follows, and is speaking low and clear as a noble lady should speak to her father's honored guest “Mamma and I have grieved so bitterly over your supposed death, that you are welcome back even un ler a new name: but—l shall—always—miss ‘Captain Edgar!” And her delicate tones falter and fall over the last words. “Do not misjudge me, Lady Ulva!” pleads tho handsome fellow humbly, “By and by I shall explain everything that seems strange to you and perhaps you will forgive me?” With a lingering t pr4ssure ho releases her lovely hands 'for is not Kenmore waiting for his notice, with his leal heart swelling with pride and joy? “Hurrah for the bonnio heir o' Inchcape!" roars this heart of oak, as he swings his blue bonnet aloft; “an' fa r fa’ the day that brought him first to Dunraven, to raise the curse off Inchcape!” - These proud words fire tho young man's spirit; ho turns so as to face the whole group, and something in his glance silences every one. “Kenmore speaks truer than lie knows," says he: “the curse is indeed raised off the house of Inchcape. I bring good tidings, my lord; your justification has been found among the Colonel’s papers; it was instantly laid before the lords of that committee before whom your honor was impeached, and he:e is their reply.” He placed a letter in Lord Inchcape’s hand; and for once the proud peer seemed overcome as he devoured the brief contents, aud passed tho paper to his wife. “A magnificent amende honorable!” cried Lady Inchcape, her fair face flushing proudly; “listen, Ulva; listen Kenmore; you have stuck to us through good and through evil report. Lord Inchcape stands triumphantly vindicated before tho tribunal which heard him accused of dishonor five years ago. and in token of their regret for the injury he has suffered, they entreat him to ac cept his old seat in the cabinet, while in acknowledgment of his past services to tho country, they offer him the Blue Ribbon of tho Garter. And who brought all to pass? You, I am sure. Mr. Arden, though you do not say so.” And now, indeed, sweet Ulva presses Edgar’s hand as Weil as my lady, and gives him a wonderful flash from eyes glittering with proud tears; but though my Lord Inchcape is mute while he wrings his young kinsman’s hand his eye speaks a language which Edgar understands well; and no one is so radiant as he. They moyo upward: of all tho hovering attendants Kenmore alone is permitted a place near tho enchanted group; and Edgar is forced to explain in spite of his gracious modesty. Yes, it was through his entreaties that the dead man’s kinsman. Archerfield, searched his papers for anything bearing upon Lord Inchcape: and when tho precious information was discovered in Accrington’s diary of the year in question. together with the whole romance of ids hopeless passion for Inchcape’s ■ exquisite American bride, it was only Edgar’s wearied importunities which prevented the fiery o'd -sea-dog from dashing the whole black story into the heart of his own fire, to preserve ’ Accrington’s reputation. How Edward prayed him. hectored him. threatened him: how he appealed to his sense of justice, and all in vain; how he began about the unhappy wife and the sequestered daughter, and suddenly found himself on tho Admiral’s soft side, and the battle won; of all this he said little at the time, for his thoughts are forever straying, like his eyes, toward Ulva, who dares not meet them. And how Is it that the group divides before they are half way up the tower, and that Lord Inchcape with his wife pass on unconscious that their yoiuiger companions have dropped behind? And what is the story that Edgar Arden. of Inchcape, is .telling his pa'o seaprincess now? and where is all her fire and pride to day, that, she does not chide him when he makes tho boldest demand man’s Ups may frame to maiden free—a demand for herself. No, sho does not chide him; she would not if she could, Because she—— And now they have paused by tho rocky wall, close by the sea, where a little brook steals from the dark heart of tho cliff to sparkle in tho snn; and Edgar is telling his love the story of Slrcombe’s sin, aud how lea! Kenmore delivered him from death And tho High’andor. who has been haunting them from afar, ana drinking stolon draughtsof tho honey, happiness, from the sight of their sweet, young bliss, shows his tall plald-wrappcd form near them, and mutely plead < with wistful eyes for perml.-siou to come closer. And his proud Lady Oolava cries out “Sfferiy that hw must come anti be tho firattohear something, oh, so strange and unexpected—for who has a bettor ■ more? . . e hero, ana heard a dy-

In her eyes, and her light clasp tightening on Edgar's arm. "’Deed was I, J ady Doleva,* answers Kenmore, in tones of solemn joy: “I was wao at hert for tho bravo man that had drowned at our very doors, as 1 thought —ay. an' for her that mourned see bitterly. * He papsod to contemplate proudly tho quick blush that dyes his lady's downcast face, and the Impassioned look of her lover; “I had neither broken broad nor slept for sorrow an’ sbamo at tho evil I had borne in my mind against him afore Isis death. An’ sac 1 wandered up an’ I wandered doon among the lonely rocks night an’ day; an* that night l east me doon at the tit o’ this cliff wa’; an' syne 1 heard a weary sigh, and it was at my very ear; an’ I looked to seo tho mortal that was In such sair trouble; an’ then my blood croeped backward an’ tho hairs o* my head stood up, for 1 wot it was a ghaist! Doon on my knees I fell, an’ called on God for deliverance; an’ my voice rang through tho rocks like a trumpet; an’ what should answer but an eerie voice ahint the cliff wa’—’Kenmore! Kenmore! I canna win oot!’ an’ it was the voice of him I thocht dead an’ gone, yet I believed it a' at once, an’ ’malst grat wa’ sheer joy! an’ syne I saw a polo flutterin’ thing creepin' oot through this cranny where the burnio trickles oot, like a white bird flutterin’ from its prison cage, an' 1 cfuglit it, an’ my heart was like to burst, it was sae thin an wounded! for it was his hand, that same hand ye hold between your ain bonny silken anes-» —” but he may as well close his story hero, for his proud Lady Oolava is holding her lover s hand to her bosom, and is bathing it with kisses and tears, in an agony of pity and love. And then they both turn to the old man, who is standing with bared head and wrapt senses, as if ho was in church; aud each one takes one of his horny hands, and four eves beaming with youth’s Iqvejlest emotion, pour upon him. “And you will not grudge your Colava to the unwelcome Englishman anymore, will you?” pleads Edgar, with a smile. “Come with us and see for yourself how hard I shall try to make her life a noble and bapny one.” “Ah, ’tis not Arden o’ Inchcape that leal Kenmore should misdoubt,” says the old man, proudly; “you are not in tho list with that doii Colonel o’ tho lithe and poisonous tongue, wha’ brought a curse on Inchcape which only you could lift! May heaven’s fairest blessings attend this day; may the sun ever shine for it, may no dool or wao e’er darken the day that gave mv bonnie young lady to the bravest an’ best in England.” And as the blessing rolls out in tho fine old Highlander's full tones, the gracious young pair bend their heads to receive it. Yet hush! What is she saying now, this dear Oolava, adored from the first hour tier tender, true face ever smiled in bleak Sleat-na \ reckon? She has twined her snow-white little hands about the old man’s arm, and is pl ad.ng in a half whisper, the tears standing in her glorious eyes. “And you will come with us, and be my own Kenmore still? Ah, do not saw no! For to you 1 OWO my Edgar and his love—and I will love yqu always ” But when tho proud announcement was made that Lady Ulva was to marry the heir, the-ir own popular idol, enthus’asm rose to its height: felicitations were showered upon the noble pair from every quarter. But none were so sweet to Ulva as Lovcday Dellamero’s, for the regal beauty from the north and tho sunbright sprite with tho golden tresses had but to gaze into each other’s true eyes to love n very truth forever. And my Lord Inchcape was reinstated in his lolty place and once more served his country well and wisely. But it was noted that he never would leave his lady behind wherever his duty might send him his Engelonde must ever be waiting for him after each day’s care and toil to charm away his weariness, and to keep him in sweet remembrance of that oft forgotten trUtli that God’s planning of man’s day gives time for conjural happiness as well as for daily labor. He never felt too weary or too preoccupied to converse with Lady Inchcape, for love made her presence a balm for every earthly ill. So they buried Richard Accrington with great pomp and ceremony, and half the country were there to see the last of the splendid stranger who was to have given such gadant battle to Arden of Inchcape for the pieasure o of representing them. And thou h the who’e throng admired the magnificence of his last appearance on the world’s stage and extolled his genius and wealth, there was no tear shed for Richard Accrington, save that one drop, bitter as gall, which slowly rolled down th ■ mahogany cheek of Admiral ArcherficM when he took his last look of tho stern, inscrutable face lying in the coffin, for to this simple, fond sailor the ex-attache had seemed everything that is most to be proud of, and to discover him a man without honor—that wrung the honest heart of the old seadog for many a day. Hush! there may have been one other being who could weep for lost Richard Accrington—one who loved and betrayed him aud who had suffered deeply from his vengeance, for death blots out many black records, and a woman’s love lasts forever. Yet if sho wept it my st have been in" shamed secrecy. for who should loathe his memory more than did Mrs. Dellamere? ' My lord’s secretary, Mr. Sircombe,did “not long outlive his disgrace. When convinced that he was not to be permitted to remain near his offended patron or his family, he vanished out of their ken so suddenly and so completely that he left no tracer behind. But for months after I Iva’s restoration to society, when the family wore in London preparing for’hor marriage, any one at all Interested in the old and the sad might have observed a certain forlorn figure wrapped in a disguising cloak, which seemed to haunt the steps of the beautiful and bHOiant creature whenever she condescended to walk; which waited hours in tho harsh spring winds at. the rail to see her pass by among the other great people who circled round the Ladies' Mlle: and grew more and more forlorn aS time went on; more old looking. more tremulously helpless; until he only camo once a week to sit on an obscure bench and gaze afar on the lovely face; then once in a month; then one last time—the test of all, for the beautiful lady chanced to alight from her own carriage to walk a little way with her lover under tho royal oaks, and coming nearer slowly, the burning eyes of her devotee had time to food upon her noble form and her adorable face—even to gather every radiant glance -till she chanced to look his way. and found hqrsolf face to face with John Sircombe. No need to turn away in shuddering scorn, sweet Uha: ho will never harm your lover more! For when she bentover him, struck by an unutterable something in his face, the man's heart was broken all his life had gone forth in t’.iat feeding gaze -he was dead. Ills shame had driven him forth, but his grl©r had killed him. The Three Graces are once more united, Alice, Laura and Engelonde: but the fatal guest wIH never again intrude upon their happiness, to draw down upon their Uvea the curse of that passion which is cruel as the grave—jealousy. , .j. f..,:, „„ .. 4 — - ; -A

Have* from Crowning* An Englishman, reviewing his Komowhat advcntnrotia life, recalls a acene witnessed by him when a boy. no was strolling on the beach with his father, and tiny saw a small steamer lying in midstream awaiting another boat-load of pafwngcrs—three ladies, a baby and two drunken men. Everything was going well till the two drunkard-, insisted upon pulling. The sailors who were rowing objected to this, and in the ensuing controversy the boat was overset. The sailors struck out for the shore, followed by one of 1 he drunkards. A boat was hurriedly launched from the shore, and four sailors jumped into it. Meantime the. loose thwarts, foot-boards and other things’) out of the upset boat had formed a sort of raft, on which lay shawls. Two of the ladies were clinging to the raft, and bad put the baby upon it, almost out of reach of the water. They were drifting swiward. Thd third lady, seemingly buoyed up by her clothing, was leading them seaward, screaming. The first drunkard was struggling up the bank. The second was splashing in the water, in awkward effort to follow his companion. Hetriedto clutch the passing boat, butltsheered off and passed him. The sailors were straining every nerve, for by this time the lady was drowning. They passed the raft, too, at full speed. As they neared flic terrified woman she screamed feebly and went down—for the last time, t he boy heard somebody say. But no; as his young eyes filled, and he was just turning away 1 his head, the Welsh boatman at the bow dropped, his oar into the water, and went over with a clean header. A minute, seeming ten, and his shock head rose. He had the woman by the bac«c hair. He threw his arm round the floating oar, and kept her above water. Cheers went up from land and steamer, and she was in the boat safe. The three upon the raft were rext rescued; but where was the man who had been left behind? They thought him drowned, but lie was seated on shore beside his companion, who had brought him out. The raft floated on, separated, and disappeared, and all was well. -IPije Russian Mobility, The Russian nobility is constitutionally not an exclusive caste. There is a constant fluctuation in its numbers. Persons of the lower classes are often raised to nobility if they make themselves deserving in the Government service, and nobles are degraded if for the commission of a crime the courts deprive them of their “titles and preferences ” A complaint has reached the Senate that an assembly of nobles had refused to enter upon their rolls the names of-persons recently raised to their station. Upon further inquiry it was found that the assemblies of many ditricts had made it a practice to do the'fame. When a person who had been made a noble sought for admission into their counsels they would decide his ease by ballot. If heidid not receive a sufficient number of votes he was excluded from their rolls and assemblies. The “pedigreed nobility” (Stol bo veye Dvoryanstvo) have zealously watched over such ballots and taken care that no new-made noble should be admitted into their circle. The Senate therefore decided that as soon as any person is admitted to the privilege* of nobility he becomes de facto, a member of the as-sembly-of nobles of his district. It is the duty of the assembly’ to enter his name upon rolls and to notify him of the constitutional and snecial meetings held by their body. They have no option in -this matter, and their balloting for new candidates is a mere farce. A Well Kept Secret. Perhaps the only secret process which has been kept inviolate, and for ages openly defied the world of science, is the iron 'trade of Russia. The secret of making Russian sheet iron is owned by the Government, and is such an immense monopoly that it is currently supposed to defray the entire expense of the Goverment. The works constitute an entire city, isolated and fortified against the.rest of the world. When a workman enters the service he bids a last farewell to his family and friends, and is practically lost to the balance of the world. He is never heard of afterward, and whether he lives or dies all trace of him is forever lost. There have, been several desperate attempts made to steal or betray the secret, . but in every instance it has resulted . in the death of the would-be traitor. In one case a letter attached to a kite, which was allowed to escape, was picked up by some peasants, and, despite their protestations that they could not read, they wore at once put to death by the guards to whom they delivered the letter, and it was decreed that the guards themselves should pass the remainder of their days within the works. The wonderful properties of this iron are so well known that it is unnecessary to enlarge upon thens. Block Inland and ltd I’eoplr. When it comes to walled-alxnit exclusiveness and bred-in-the-borte. aristocracy, consider that, irregular dot on the map of Narragansett Bay called Block Island, where people .grow up, marry and get put away in their own sacred little family burial ground without ever having touched mainland, less than twenty miles away. No intercourse with outside people is encouraged, save in summer, when a few are tolerated for so much a week. As marriage, in consequence, is nearly altogether among themselves, everybody most is related in’ no distant degree to everybody else on tho island of Block Island. Under conditions like these, surnames must, be limited. Out of a population of 1,400 there are 433 voters, and of these 41 are named Mitchell, 39 Dodge. 37 Litchfield. 33 Ball, 33 Sprague, 31 Rose, 20 Mott, 10 Allen, 14 Willis—total, 264. These nine families supply over thrce-flfths of tho voting strength of the Island. Everything is so truly “all in the family” could a more favorable spot be found on earth for an experiment with that centripetal idea that our friends the Nationalists have regarding the government of tills merry-go-round we call 11^?—Boston Tran*
