(Copyright, 1SD5. by F. CHAPTER VII. The manner in which Mrs. Frances McLane secured her Invitation to visit the Graffons reflects credit on her generalship if not on her general character. She was deep in widow's weeds and woe the lovely summer of '94 so long as she remained in the neighborhood of the mausoleum of the dear departed, and Mrs. Grafton twice or thrice ran down from the Point to pour out sympathy and consolation, but dear Fanny had sustained - too severe a shock. This dreadful, this mysterious, this murderous assault upon Mr. McLane had unnerved her completely, said Mrs. Grafton on her return to her liege, and she does not seem to rally at all. Later, as we have seen, Charlotte took her sister West, and later still the Graf tons, en route to Sedgwick at last, stopped five days In Chicago on their way, and Fanny was at the station to meet them on their arrival, and Insisted then, as she had before by letter, upon their being her guests at her own apartments at the Clarendon. She had a lovely little room all ready for them. JSow. Grafton was a provident man, an economical man, and five days' hotel bills made certainly a big hole in a month's pay. Something ven then whispered to him that this ex travagance were better than that to which acceptance of the widow's invitation would lead. But he banished the thought as unworthy and uncharitable.'. Fanny welcomed them with Infinite tact and taste made them feci that their coming' was a blessing: to her, so sad and lonely was her life now that It was no longer blessed by the companionship and devotion of the Incomparable husband whom she had lost. She could not accompany them to the opera or to concerts and theaters, but she had the best seats secured, and Ned and Charlotte were properly attentive; and when it was time for the Graftons to move on the ladies' actually parted with tears, Fanny looking so white, so pathetic, so fragile, and protesting that Mrs. Grafton was the one friend to whom her heart clung In its bereavement and desolation. A hacking little cough had already set in (this was late in the fall), and the rigors of the Lake Michigan climate seemed telling severely upon the Gotham born girl, and urgently did Mrs. Grafton press her to leave this blustering shore and to come to her in that land where coughs and bronchial and catarrhal troubles are unknown, to bask in the sunshine and drink in tha delicious air of southern New Mexico; and Fan declared that could she but be with Harriet her cough would never worry her, but it could not be It; could not be. There were Important legal matters to- be. settled. She must fight her battle alone. She could not yet go so far from that sacred dust. All the fame the Graftons were not fairly settled at Sedgwick when Fan's legal difficulties Beemed to have been settled and her cough grievously augmented. The doctors talked of Bermuda or San Diego, but tle idea of going to Bermuda, among strangers, was a horror, so she wrote; and as for Coronad, where, less than a year agone, she had been so happy, so blest? no! no! It was impossible! Yet Chicago for the rest of the winter was out of the question, especially since the estrangement that had grown up between her and her relatives in the East, that had even to some extent involved Charlotte, her beloved sister. Mrs. Grafton could not help thinking how remarkably Frances flad developed since their school days. Then she had never impressed any one as being capable of much deep feeling. There had been a few months indeed when Mrs. Grafton was angry and astonished at Frances, but those were Just after she "broke" with Randy Merriam and married McLane, but Fan had wheedled her out of this unfavorable mood and convinced her that she had never really cared for Mr. Merriam, who, somehow, failed to inspire her with that feeling of respect, even reverence, which she felt was due the man she married; whereas Mr. McLane was a gentleman of such dignity and force of character that she seemed powerless in his presence, and his love was the sweetest flattery, the most surprising, thrilling Joy she had ever known. Not until he came did she dream what love really meant, and then it was duty, it was Justice, it was honor that compelled her to release Mr. Merriam. Had she married him she would, have gone to the altar with a lie on her lips, for she loved another. t Grafton said nothing, but seemed to be thinking a good deal, and it was plain that he did not thoroughly approve of the fickle Frances. "When, however, Merriam surprised everybody at the Point by his marriage to Floy Treroalne, Grafton concluded it time to drop the matter. All the same he could not suppress his surprise when Harriet announced that Fanny had actually almost consented to come to them. "I thought you knew I disapproved of that scheme entirely," said he. "You did. dear, -when I first spoke of It. and so did I. I didn't think it would' do at all. but Fan talked so frankly about Mr. Merriam and the lovely time

Grafton listened rather grimly. He was many yearj older than hl3 wife, as has been said, and much less credulous. Again the same uneasy presentiment oppressed him. "I don't think she should come here, Harrie," he gravely said. "Anywhere else, perhaps, I could have shared with you the feeling of welcome certainly the desire to pay the debt of hospitality, but. at Sedgwick, with the Merriams here, it cannot be." And here poor Mrs. Grafton broke down and wept. "Oh," she cried, "it's got to be. I thought you'd forgiven her and that all was well; and I urged and she's coming nene next w week." We need not record the further remarks of Captain Grafton on this point, since they were afttr all inoperative, but the first dark shadow over their domestic peace fell that very day and hour. For the life of him he could not but feel that he had been tricked and deceived, and yet so plausible were the explanations he could not brush them entirely aside. At all events he would not now require his wife to recall the invitation, sent and accepted. It might even be as she claimed, that Fan loved and clung to her as her only dear and intimate friend, and craved her society and sympathy now in her bereavement and ill health, and, though still suspicious and ill satisfied, he gave his reluctant assent to the plan, and was on hand at the Junction to meet and welcome his unwelcome guest. The Merriams had been paying a holiday visit to Floy's devoted parents at the cantonment and were absent from Sedgwick while these preliminaries were being- arranged. Otherwise Grafton' might have cast conventionality a?!de find asked Randy for the truth about tho?e alleged lovely times when they were on their wedding Journey; but he could not brlnff himself to write, and indeed there was no time for letters to go and come and decide an issue that was already decided. It was Mrs. Grafton T?ho, two iUys before the arrival of her

lovely guest, broke the news of her coming to Mr. Merriam, and was astonished at his reception thereof. It was almost sunset of one of those soft, languorous Southern days that make even midwinter warm and grateful in the lower valley of the Bravo. Across the barren level cf the parade the troopers were marching up from stables in their white frocks, and sending long shadows striding up the opposite eastward slope of the narrow canyon. The officers, in parties of three or four, were strolling homeward past the now shaded porticos, on many Of which, seated with their needlework or chatting with friends, the ladies of the garrison were awaiting the coming of their lords or lovers or both. The smooth, broad walks were bright with groups of merry children or sedately trundled baby carriages. Three or four of the bigger, boys were .galloping their ponies along the roadway, fresh sprinkled by the huge water cart. The band that had been playing in its kiosk in front of the line had picked up its music books and gone trudging backward for change of raiment before parade, skirting on the way the circular plat of withered grass maintained at vast expenditure of labor and water at the foot of the staff from whose shimmering peak hung, well nigh motionless, the blue and scarlet and white of the national flag. Northwestward the distant line. of the Mescalero stood blueblack against the cloudless sky. Away to the east rolled the dun billows of the "Jornada," illimitable in monotony and range. Downward at the ford of the San Mateo some Indian boys and girls were Jabbering shrill expostulation to the Mexican herder, who was swearing strange oaths at his usually placid burros because they had the good manners to shrink at the edge of the stream wherein these children of nature were disporting, the laughter and screaming, even the splashing of the water, rising distinctly on the air. Out on the mesa to the north the quartermaster's herd was nodding: slowly, sleepily homeward, powdered; by a dust cloud of its own raising, and over at the infantry barracks at the westward end of the long line scores of the men were already out in full dress uniform, awaiting the bugle call that should demand the assembly. Mrs. Grafton had been visiting up the row and was coming smilingly back, nodding greeting and salutation to the ladles on the verandas of the various quarters as she passed, yet walking eagerly so as .to.be. at the gate, as was her habit,' when her captain returned from stables, seeing which, some of the younger officers tried to detain her or Impede her way. "The captain has stopped to take a drink at Buxton's, Mrs. Grafton." I wouldn't hurry if I were you," said one mendacious, mischievous sub. "I'll leave it' to Merriam if he hasn't," thereby detaining Merriam, who was Just as eager, apparently, to reach his own gate and receive the fond welcome in Floy's deep, dark brown eyes. Others, too, Joined the laughing conspiracy, and, gazing beyond them and seeing nothing of her lord among the groups still further to the rear, she as laughingly surrendered and entered Into Joyous chat with her captors, the sight of one of. the youngest, brightest and fairest of their number surrounded by half a dozen gallant being naturally a comfort to the' lookers on along the quarters; and when Randy, lifting his cap, would have deserted them and gone his way she was Just coquette enough to care to hold the exhibition and her attendantsa moment longer. "Oh, Mr. Merriam! Don't go yet. I've really important news for you. Who do you think is coming to.visit us?" Randy had no idea. He smiled politely, even pleasantly, and said he couldn't imagine. "Well, but guess," persisted Mrs. Grafton, her very pretty face very full of im portance. "The Walkers, from Stoneman?" sug gested Randy. "No, indeed. Nobody from that way. It's from the East." "Mrs. and Miss Pollard, from Marcy?" "Not a bit of it. No army people at all, but somebody you know very well and like very much." Then Randy began to look queer, but still couldn't begin to guess. "I'm sure I'm at a loss," he faltered. "Why, Fanny McLane, of course! She's been in miserable health since her husband died, and they've practically ordered her to try this climate, so she's coming to me. She'll be here Saturday. But of course you know she's in deep mourning yet and can't go anywhere." For a moment Merriam was too amazed too startled to trust himself to speak, and she saw it, and with the quick intuition of her sex saw, too, that something must be done to relieve the embarrassment that would fall upon the party. "She was one of my bridesmaidsFanny Hayward," she hurriedly explained to the surrounding group "Mr. Merriam's bridesmaid, and the loveliest girl you ever saw; and. Just think of it, Mr. Minturn, now she's a disconsolate widow with I don't know how much money all her own," and then nervously she cast an anxious glance at Merriam and again addressed him as though in self-defense. "You know, we visited with her on our way West, and she told me of her charming meeting with you and Mrs. Merriam on your wedding Journey and the lovely times you had before they had to go to San Francisco," and now her voice had become timid and appealing, for she saw something was very, very much amiss. Merriam's face had flushed even through its coat of tan, but was now a yellow brown, all its happy, healthful glow vanished, and Billy Whlttaker. looking uneasily at him, had linked an arm in his and seemed about to urge him to come away; yet Merriam had to say something, and this, in evident constraint, is what he said: "Yes we did meet Mrs. McLane I'm very sorry to hear she's been 111, and am much surprised to hear she's coming here. Excuse me, Mrs. Grafton, I must hurry on." That evening Floy and her husband failed to attend the formal hop which was held each week, and their absence was noted, for she loved to dance, and had promised waltzes and two-steps without number to her old friends of the Riflers and the cavalry both. Some one proposed going after them. Mrs. Hayne did-call on her way home, for she left early, and inquired anxiously for Florence. "She has a severe headache." said Randy, who came to the door with gloom in his eyes, "and she felt too good for nothing to attempt it, so I persuaded her to go to her room." He asked them in, but did not invite. Both Hayne and his wife noted that, and both felt they knew the cause of ali the trouble when they met Whittaker ten minutes later and learned from him that the Graftons expected a guest from the East on SaturdayMrs. McLane. And Saturday evening she came, almost at the same hour at which she first set eyes on that dreary landscape and wondered what was the name of those far blue, hills and who those officers and ladles could be. But this time it was the train from the northeast that bore her in, and its companion from the Sunset route was not yet there; neither was there a swarm of officers and ladies. There was only one of each a grave, dignified, soldierly man In undress uniform a young, pretty, stylishly attired dame at his side. The Pullman came to a stop at the platform, the porter sprang out laden with bags and bundles, the conductor stepped off and raised his cap and offered his hand to a vision of feminine charms, a fair, sweet, smiling face framed In dainty little cap. The heavy crape veil was thrown back, and the slender, rounded form was decked in Fomber weeds, yet how gracefully, effectively was it draped. Even Grafton could not fall to note it. No sign of dust and grime of travel was there. The shrouding, protecting veil and duster had been discarded only Just before they reached the station; Annette had stowed them carefully away in the shawl strap, while her bereaved mistress carefully and skillfully arrayed herself In veil and

bonnet. that had been boxed throughout the Journey. She stepped forth Into Har

riet's welcoming arms as trim as tnougn she herself had Just Issued from a bandbox, her Joy at being once more with such fond friends decorously tempered by the sense of her ever present, allpervading sorrow and the consciousness of her delicate and uncertain health. Only a moment did she allow herself in Harriet's embrace. No time must be lost In precipitating herself upon the massive and not too eloquently welcoming captaJn. .Hvho held out a hand In his untutored army wr as hands had been extended for the score of years he had been in service, and not at the height of the shoulders, as was hers, after the alien mode of the nineties. Into his arms she did not throw herself, yet looked she as she meant to look and have him see her look and be impressed accordingly, as though such was her sense of his lofty character and her own need of some strong arm on which to lean she might even be glad to find shelter there. "There was always something so- appealing about Fan,'" said Mrs. Grafton sometimes, and Indeed there was. And then the train moved on, and Grafton looked grimly at the stack of Saratogas up the platform, while the orderly was loading bags, baskets and bundles Into the roomy Concord wagon, and the quartermaster's team came rattling; alongside to load up with heavy luggage. "I won't have to see anybody to-night, will I, dearest?" pleaded the widow of her devoted friend as they bowled away to the post. "I look like a hag after this dreadful Journey, and I'm so tired. Oh, do you get soft water here or Is it all this wretched alkali?" and she studied her friend's already suffering' complexion and read her answer there. No matter; she had borax and other correctives in abundance. Inspection ivas all over. The cavalry were all at stables down under the bluff as they whirled into the great, spreading garrison and went spinning up the roadway in front of officers' quarters. The captain lifted both ladies out at the gate and assisted Annette to alight; then, giving1 brief direction to the servant, he raised his cap; "And now you are homeMrs. McLane, and I will leave you to Harriet while I go down to my horses a while," and Fan followed him with swimming eyes. "How blessed you are, Harriet," she murmured. "So strong, so noble a man. Ah, I have so needed you both. I'm so thankful to be here." And as they led her beneath the shaded porch and bright eyes on other porches looked eagerly on, and her own bright, brimming eyes took in the many odd, unfamiliar yet attractive surroundings in this cozy army home. Fan was wondering how she could ever have thought of such a life how it was possible for Harriet to-be-happy In. It, while her hostess was already vaguely wondering if, after all, she was quite as content and happy as she was before Fanny came. (To be continued next Sunday.) HUMOR OF THE DAY. Their Function.

The average length of life in Norway is greater than in any other European country. Recent statistics show that, for males, the average is forty-eight years and three months, and for females it is fifty-one years and -three months. Canada, the largest British possession of the crown, has an area, including Us lakes and rivers, of 3.4S0.000 square miles. The United States has an area of 3.501.409 square miles; so the latter territory, compared with the former, has 51,400 more square miles. Australia has found it impossible to abate the rabbit plague. In New South'Wales alone seven million acres of land have been abandoned and $5,000,000 spent. The only plan that has any good effect is wire netting, and of this fifteen thousand miles have been used. In Cannon street, London, in 1S.S0, six hundred square feet of land was sold for building sites for 4,500, which amounts to 7 10s a square foot, or 330,000 an acre: and the same year.-in Grace Church street, building sites at 18 18s a 6quare foot, or S20,000 an acre. In the American civil war one out cf every sixty-five men was kl'led. and one in each ten wounded. In Napoleon's early wars one out of each twenty-dent was killed, and in the early British conflicts as high an average as one death to each nineteen engaged is reported. It is stated that the most crowded spot on the earth's surface is the "Manderaggio," In the city of Valetta, in Milan. Uon a spot in this place, about two and a half acres in extent, no fewer than 2,574 live. This Is at the rate of 636,000 per square mile, or 1,017 to an acre. Ferpetual sunshine occurs' on the coast of Peru, where, although it may be misty occasionally, the blue sky Is always visible through this whitish veil. Perpetual sunshine when the sun Is above the horizon also exists in the Sahara, the great desert of Africa, and In the ether rainless regions of the earth. While Sir Walter Raleigh generally gets the credit of having introduced the potato Into England, in Germany the credit is given to Sir Francis Drake. At Offenburg. about twelve miles from Strassburg. there is, in th market place, a statue to Sir Francis in gratitude to him for having introduced the potato into Europe. A whole mountain of asbestos Is said to have been discovered about four miles north of Mount Vernon. Ore.

Where the animals had tramped the rock the asbestos threads showed up like bunches of wool. An orang tree. It is said, will bear fruit until it is 150 years old; and there are recorded instances of orange trees bearing fruit when Ave hundred years old.
