As we said before, Claro was dressing for the evening party, and ' perhaps it was the thought of meeting Kin a that caused bis band to tremble and fete its hold upon that fateful eollar-buUoa, and it fell. Now, If it had not been for that mysterious lateral foroe exerted upon it, Clare would have reached down, picked it up. and this little tale would doubtless never have been told. But the lateral forefc was exerted, and no

With It hsmdsomely-oat'ved top which almost reached the paneled ceiling, resting upon its short, massive legs, it stood a relk of by-gone days, a piece of furniture which n lover of the antique would have gaaed, pondered ami goated upon. Mr. Beverly wanted that collar-button, not because of its intrinsic value, for that was very small, but simply because well, because be wanted it,

and being somewhat pressed for Ume,

down he went in n frantic search for it.

Underneath the dressing-case be plunged his' arm and swept the floor

Oh, well, that is another thing.

Clare stopped and planted himself m

Kirke, I love yor ward, Elna." ,

There was a moment of intense si

lence, broken only by the murmur of

the guests' voices, and the music of the

wait as it floated softly through the

window opening out upon the veranda.

Then Mrs. Van Kirke spoke, and her

words had lost their laughing accsnt.

Clare, sit down; I want to tell you

a story."

Clare wonderingly complied. "Years age there lived n rich obi

man, who possessed but one child, a

daughter, upon whom be lavished his entire affection. That daughter loved

a noor but honest man, and because of

her refusal to givo him up her father

banished ber from his home and heart, and never looked upon her face acain.

The young couple settled in New York City, and for awhile all went well, un

The father died, and his will contained no mention of ber name. The entire property was left to a distant relative.

The poor woman struggled along, starving, dying by inebes, and uttering no cry for help, A kind-bearteds foolish old woman discovered her when too late, took her oblM, then a girl of twelve, and promised the dying mother to care for it as her own. Then came a little procession to Greenwood, and out there she rests, the victim of n father's pride." Mrs. Van Kirke paused, as something like a stifled sob checked her utterance.

Naturally, Glare Beverly's sleep that

night was a disturbed one, and he awoke in the morning unrefreshed, and in a miserable humor.

After the completion of his toilet and

breakfast, he sat down and tried to

think it all over, but it was impossible.

Although by no fault of his, the fact still remained that he stood in the position whiek by nil the laws of justice

and right belonged to another, and

that one the woman lie loved. This fact forced itself again and again upon

his proud nature, and with a cry of

vexation, he arose and began to pace up and down the apartment. "1 ean

never speak to her again 1 I'll go back to En it land, anvwhere. to rid her of

the sight of me!"

He halted in his walk, as his foot

struck against the unlucky tin box.

which lay with its scattered contents

upon the floor, and, stooping, Clare

began to restore the papers to their proper position in the box. " Queer

old documents, how they do aceumu

them one by one. I wonder what this

one is."

Could we hare been a quiet specta

tieen a very excited person with a paper in his clinched band, rush to the bell-rope and jerk: it in a furious

manner. "Jim," said be to the surprised colored servant, who answered the violent ringing, "bring the carriage round to the door, quick! Don't lose a moment!" "Gosh!" said Jim, as he shuffled along to obey the order, "wonder what's de matter wkl Marse Clare dis niornin'. 'Pears kinder 'cited!" In a snort space of time, which, however, seemed extremely long to the impatient Clare, the oar ri age appeared. "To Mrs. Van Kirke s Jim. Give 1em the rein!" The order was cheerfully obeyed, and the spirited horses sent the carriage whirling over the hard smooth road like the wind. A fifteen minutes drive broug it them to Mrs. Van Kirke' s door, and atkly ntaid answered Clare's ring, and ushered him into the drawing-room. Mr& Van Kirke was in the room and came forward to greet her caller, somewhat surprised at the earlinees of the call, but stopped short in genuine astonishment as Clare poured out a torrent of words in which aba eouW faintly distinguish "collar-button, tin box codicil will Elna" and then Clare stopped from sheer exhaustion and

waved a paper frantically before her eye "For goodness sake, Clare, what are yon trying to tell mo? What has happened? What does all this mean?" "Mean? Why it means that that miserable uncle of mine on the day nrecedin his death softened bis flinty

shot in the Duke of Portland's forest

at Langwell, Caitknese-shire. there were found when "rralloched" the

Most likely he picked them up one by one on some part of the grouse-ground, chewed off the papkr-maebe, and then swallowed the cases or percussion -cap portions. Cows frequently swallow them in pasture lands, where they have been thrown down by sportsmen, ami fatal results have sometimes ensued.
