What need to tell the inner history of Madge's life'duringthe next few weeks? More and more sle longed for freedom. Fitzallan was staying in the neighborhood and was frequently at the house, and in the thousand little incidents of and in the tuougand little incKients oi every-day life she knew he cared for her, and honest Jack grew yet more distaste-j ful in her sight. i In due time came the second promised t pleasure. The family that distinguished the name of Jones by the prefix of Ponsonby gave theirparty. Madge was in her glory that night. One looker-on called her charming; another, the mother of fair daughters, admitted her expression was charming, but voted her leatures plain. Mrs. Ponsonby-Jones, weighed down with bright-colored silk and jewelry, said in her finest tone that Mr. Selwyn's ward would be quite a fanmc iV esprit. Madge had no lack of society, but she kept a place in the conversation for Jack Hawkeebury, and her love of mischief was gratified to the full by his making of it what he called "a ljawible muddle." But the trivial triumphs and pleasures ef the night were long forgotten by Mauare before she lost one remembrance of a scene that pasted in the con?ervator where the music was aj . a 4 ircin lias: and sonbvanoiher with a darling bud too. She had placed his gift in her hair, and she . sat near the dewy glass, saying it was cool there and she would reet. Fitaallan J 44 If this were nearer, I could fan you," he said. " Thank you; I am tired rather than hot." Never in her life before had Madge been to serious or so troubled as she was now, in the st ft light among the cool plants, within sound of the half hushed music. 41 Will you do me a favor?" she inquired, raising the gray eyea that shone for a moment with nouid brightness. for a moment with liouid bright You have only to name it I am at your service."

A prisoner at New Ulm, Minnesota, escaped from jail by practicing a pious fraud. He pretended to be very pious, and every night before retiring knelt at his bedside as if in prayer. The jailer gave instructions not to disturb him while so engaged. This tho prisoner no doubt knew, and in order to deceive the jailer he stuffed out a pair of pants and a coat and placed them in front of the bed in a kneeling posture, and then secreted himself iu an empty cell. When the jailer closed tho cell for the night he supposed him to bo saying his usual prayers, and the trick waa not discovered until the next mornlnc af tar his escape. It is well to add that ho was iuluimiAtitK ?utittirt .ml an ' after all, lost his trick.
