CHAPTER XXV. (Continued.) 'Whore to. m'ionl?" "Palace Mansions. "Yes. m'lor I.'' murmured Charles to Barker, as they drove oft', "that the old codger's done it at last. Palace Mansions is the order that a irhere Mrs. 'Arris lives, yon know." "Ay." muttered the roachman, la reply. "And Mrs. Arris ll eateh I Tartar in 'im. no mistake a boat that." They generally takes care of then 8P(. " .-aiil Charles, with a cynicism worthy of his estimable naater. Coating e-en's, they say. cast their nitadowi before, and Barker, who had hoe:i giving i small share of attention Charles and gossip, suddenly palled In his horses with a jerk. " 'Oases is Inclined to he play fa today." he faBarked. "1 dessay they know it is the wrong time of year la be la town." returned Cha r!e, luperclliou&ly. Uke!y enough. 'Ossea is at seuslbl as Christiana and sensibler than some,1 Barker rejoined. As they pot over the ground the "p!ayfn!ness" of the horses did not subBide: indeed, on the contrary, it increased, and to such ati extent thai by the time they toned ini the atagtoa High atreet the- were racing along iit express speed. "Aiih the vi-d--n intention of bolting ai soon as they had a chance. Harke:, however, knew his work and did not give them the chance at all. and by the time they reached the cor net of the road for which they were boan !. they were going steadily again. Unfortunately, at that point, however, that terrible maker of mischief, th unforeseen, happened -a little child with a balloon as large as a mart's had suddenly go ;he string with which she had hel l it captive the balloon soared away and dashed into the near horses face: the child creamed nt the Ion of her toy; the horse reared and plunged. Barker adMinistered a cut of his whip, and th next moment they were dashing down the road, and an elderly woman was lying helplessly in a dead faint just w her I Be carriage d passed. "My Cod! we ate over some one." shouted Lord Aylmer. He was the kind of man who. on emergency, always appeals to the Deity, whom in all Iiis wavs of life he utterly and systsaaatkally ignores. "Let me get out," he cried, Barker, who was pulling in tin horse with Bright and main, had already cheeked their nsad speed, and a moment or so later turned the horses, with a f.ice like ehalh ar;d a dreadfal fear knocking at his heart thai the sac ton less tgnre lying n the road WOttld never move again. He pulled as ust where the crowd was gathering, and Lord Ajrlmer was out of r ti - carriage before Charles conk rollect his scattered senses tu fielen tly to g-i off the box The crowd was gathering in numbers every moment, and was not only dense anil strong, out curious. Lord Aylmer, however, without staadlag oa ceremony, rigorously elbowed his waj to the inner circle. "Let me pass; stand aside. Policeman.

Lord Aylmer looked around for rharles. "Charles, get boom brandy anil water from somewhere or other. Be quick." Just then a well-dressed young woman pushed her way through the crowd. "Let me pas-.' she urged, "fan t you nee I've brought brandy? r"'and hack, yon men. Have yoq peei fcen an accident before? Do you want to kill her? Stand hack!" She was a handsome woman, scarcely more than a girl; her hands and face and speech betokened that she w;ts gently bora; her tearless speech putting into words: what was in per min I. had th-- effect of CattSiaf the crowd to shrink hack a little. -Is she much hurt " she asked. "Pretty bad case. Miss," answered the policeman, wh( was trying to gt a little brandy down the uneonscioas woman's throat. "Hadn't you tietter et her into my house'' She can't lie here." she went on. "Has any one gone for a doctor?" I should et her orf to the Or.spit! a once Miss." the policeman replied. Would you" Poor thing! I was standing at my window ami saw it all. You oughtn't to let your roachman drive like that, she added, severely, to Iord Xyimer. "I don't; hut my horses were frightened by a child's balloon," he explained. "Ton oughtn't to huve horses that are frightened at trifles," sue responded. IllogicaUy. "1 think we'd better get her orf at once," said the policeman. "she jives no sign of coming round. "HOW can we take he. Shall I" I have the carriage here ready, and th hors". are sober enough now." 'Yes. my lord, I really think that's he best thing we can do," the other

answered. "If your man'll givo nie a hand we'll lift her in. in a minute." Eventually the woman was iified into the victoria and the energetic young woman, having rushed back to her house for her hat. got in also, and supported her in as comfortable a position as was compatible With her insensible condition. .Inst as they were starting, a doctor arrived on the scene. t-ok a hasty glance at the victim of the accident, and quietly got in. taking possession of the little back seat. "I'd better go- it's a bad business." he said to Lord Aylmer, realizing that he was the owner of the carriage. "Yes yea- -We hail he'ter follow in a cab." Lord Aylmer said, turning to the policeman. "1 suppose you'll see me through?" "Oh, yes. my lord: I'm bound to do thai." h answered. Lord Aylmer was getting more and more nervous; he got into the cab looking white ami scared, with bts sinful old heart thumping against his ribs in a way that was very unusual with him. Not because his carriage bas run ovet an elderly woman and it was libel) to prove a fatal accident, not for that reason at all. but wholly and solely because, when Charles and the policeman had lifted the unconscious woman into the carriage. Lord Aylmer had picked up a leper which was lying face upward in the roadway just where she bad lain. Short-sightedness was not one of Lord Aylmer's signs ot approaching years, and in an Instant he had arasped that the letter was addressed to his nephew Dirk, and before Charles and the policeman had got their harden safely into the Victoria, he had thrust the letter into his pocket, with a sort of impious thanksgiving to Heaven thai at la-t the girl he had been hunting down for many weeks was delivered into his hand. For evidently this respectable elderly woman, dressed in decent black was Mrs. Harris' servant: and if it happened that she did not keep more than one why this accident would put her altogether at his mercy. He was positive) trembling when they reached th St. George's Hospital, and Barhara was carried in. not unconscious now, for tiie slight Jolting of the carriage had brought her to again. Then there was a short time of Impatient waiting hefore the doctor came to them that is.

"Can I see you into a cab, my dear lady?" lie added to the actress. "Thanks." she answered. "And may 1 na- the honor of settling witii the cabman?' "Oh. BO very kind of you. but I always pay far myself. The Cornhill good-by." The eah rolled off. Lord Aylmer unRovered hla handsome old head, smiled his most fascinating smile, and bowed with a profound air of respect, which was quite lost OS the back Of the ret mating eah and Its occupants. Then he got Into his victoria and said, "I'alsce Mansions." "Yes. m' lord,' answered Charles, wooden ly; then remarked to Barker, as soon as he hopped up on the box "Palace Mansion; even broken Icüdon't put im orff." "Seems BO,1 said Marker. Barker's nerves were all shaken with the accident, nod he would have given anything he poassased for a nip of brandy; he was not therefore, very much inclined for conversation. Meantime, as soon as they had reached Aiert Gate, Lord Aylmer drew out the letter and looked it wih a grin of satisfaction on his wicked old fae. H m. Richard Harris, Ksq.. SO Messrs. Brewster & Co., 10 Grove Street. Madras. India.'' he muttered,

Oh. so you have not cut the chains. Master Hick- you've not burnt your boatj behind you. What a fool you are. to be sure!" He opened the letter without the smallest scruple, tore the envelope into a thousand fragments and seat'erej them to the winds, then settled down to enjoy the tender words beginning -"My own dear Dick," ending "Your loving and faithful little wile. Dorothy." "So her name is Dorothy,' he mused. "Strange that they should always lay such stress on their love and their faithfulness! They're all alike. I wonder who the Esther is that she talks about. Bp. bars is evidently the old girl who c::me to grief just now. Well. Barbara is safely laid by the leg for the next few weeks. Really, it could not have fa lien out better if one had planned i; aP. But I wonder who Esther is? 'Bather hasn't come yet.' she s;:ys. "bur may come at any moment," I must find out about tether." When they got to Palace Mansions, he saw Dorothy looking anxiously out of the window. "On the waf;h." he said to himself, "And pretty uneasy, too." The lovely face disappeared when the carriago drew up a: the door, and the smart footman, in It's glory of crimson and white, jumped down and opened the door for the handsome old gentleman, who got out and went Into the building. He knocked at the door of No. :!, and Dorothy, being perfectly alone, had no hnice but to go and open it. "Am 1 speaking to Mrs. Harris? said the ausve, wleked old voice. "Yea," answered Dorothy, wondering what he could possibly want with her. "May I come in? I am Lord Ay inter. I have something to tell you. No. don't he alarmed; it is sot hing very

QUEEN MURDERS ENGLISH. la:iy Krror Mode in Her AddretN ts If Corbett were alive he could still criticise the KiiKüh grammar of the speech prepared tor the sovereign at the opening of parliament, says the London New... The queen adopts this Speech at her council on the advice of her ministers and it is thn given to parliament as "her own words." u is important to observe that the president cjf the round and the minister who last saw the queen at Osborne in reference to the speech read recently is also the head ot the education department, is there an Inspector of schools under him who would p;ss a reference to expenditure which is beyond "former precedent? A Question in English grammar might he set in the schools from the following sentence: "A portion ot the Aflidl tribes have not ye1 accented the terms offered to them, but elsewhere the operations have been brought to a successful close." in the reference to Crete we read: "The difficulty of arriving at an unanlraou . agreement upon some points has unduly protracted their deliberatlons (i. e.. the deliberations of the powers), but I hope that these obstacles will before long be surmounted." What obstacles? As "The difficulty" is tlie sobjecl in this sentence, "that obstacle" would appear to be 1 he appropriate phrase. Observe also an unanimous agreement." As in these days "unanimous" is not pronounced oonanimous but younaaimous, "an" before the word is an abomination in speech and in writing but lamely defended, like certain rhymes, as satisfying to the eye although offending the ear. As for the literary style of the speech, it is not likely to he used as a model in the secondary schools. The piano player produces music or 4 he pound.

O R v e a r s past ewitt I? o i c e. a millionaire, has practically dictated the c o u r s e of events in Hie Second R e f o r m e d church at kingston, N. V. There have been numerous Quarrels, bttl Mr. Boice has nearly always come out on top. .lust si present he has the fight of his life on hand, his opponent being Dr. Chandler A. Oakee, the pastor. Dr. Oakes was at one time Dr. rs image s essistant in the Brooklyn tabernacle, where he d:s tinguished himself by the masterly handling of the finances. Immediately after accepting a all to the Kingston ehnrc-h he made it manifest that lus methods were likely to revolutionize the ijuiet. easy-going congregation to which he bad been railed. Coming from an active, hustling church, he liked rather startling methods, but being an indefatigable worker, a brilliant preacher and an able lecturer he attained considerable popularity and always preached to a crowded congregation. While the mayoralty contest w.is on In New York recently Dr. Oakes made no secret of hi belief that Henry PASTOR OAK KS. (teorjie v;is the man who should be selected. Not on!) that, he declared his belief in the single tax theory, a! the same time expressing 01 her radical ideas. All this nave a terrible shoc to his blue-blooded, conservative Hock. dissensions were in time stirred up am! eventually a considerable portion of the members, headed bv Mil i ions! re ' Boice, called upon him to resign. To their amaxeuM nt Dr. Oaiket said he preferred to stay. Then i barges were preferred against him and the trial la now on, ii being alleged that the church is In process of financial and religious dei line as a result of the pa.-lor's conduct. !i is hinted thai the antagonism cu .Mr. Boice la traceable in ureal measj tire to the fact ilia' he wants the revI erend gentleman's place for Rev, Prank I. Zeley, srho married Miss Boice rone iinie ago. When the trial began the opposition learned l hat Dr. ( takes had studied law for years and wa practically ready foi admission to the bur when be decided (o enter the church. So tar he has had decidedly the better of it and there are Indications that the opposition is weakening. The doctor confidently expects to win his c-ase. and it is Intimated that should he prove the victor he will resign. Tlie 'ojigreonion.il Literary.

POSTOFFICE CATS.

One of Them W ho Was A pproprt t? DiifiolH-U. The poatofllce at is a very important member of th federal corps of clerks, in all general pestoffices there ate several cats and they every one believe in civil-service reform. Sixty dollars a year is deemed far! appropriation for New York's post office cats' i maintenance. a writer in the Hoston Herald. How the eats feel about it Is another matter, but J a usual thing such small same as rats and mice, which infest every public building, and their daily allowanc e of fresh milk keep them in fine mettle. Our own postolBce has a very distinguished black feline known to the clerks ir every department, ami respected and admired from one o:ui of the building to th" other. Not many weeks ago I observed a ids; cat in a gray fur e-oat. with daasling white wair-te-oat and graj legging, sitting on the steps of one ol the entrances to the pos'ofiVe. Hundreds ed' men wen rushing back am', forth, slamming the doors and paying no heed io Mr. Cat in the corner. All the commotion of 1 o'clock in that vicinity did not disturb him in the least. There- was retrospection in his half-closed eyes, hut he did not deign to pive an extra twirl to his tail when his glance met a stranger's gaze, so intent was be on keeping still. No creature is more nervous than the cat, yet ibis one might have come out of a toy shop for all the hustle ami bustle affected him. 1 shall neve:- know if he bad an appointment with tie- black cat within, or whether he was simply waiting for luncheon to he ready. The worst thing about a cat who has e-iu his wisdom teeth is he won't he communicative. kitten always jjive-s itself dead away at the first advance. SCHEME FOR CHARITY. IUm i.t Reral 11k- Mait-tnt in siuull Giving. One of 1 he mos; serious problems that confront the promoters ot charitable enterprises is the question as to the- hest met hod by which to reach the contributing public-, the men sad women who would gladly g:e a small amount but a ho know of no method by which it can he done e-j.diy ami quietly, says the Philadelphia Press. Most charitable enterprises depend largely on circulars, reports and news a pen to bring then 10 the notice of the men w'.io can afford to give j;enproupiy. Solicitors are sent around to ask contributions, appeals are made from the pulpit, entertainments are held for the henelit of institutions, and yet those who have made charity a sttniy do not feel that they have reached the masses. Austria lias taken one step whic h seems to he- a step forward in this direction. The government has issued what it calls charity post cards, for the use of persons who want to make small contributions t any charity. These cards ate- treated much the- same a postal orders are treated in this country. It a man desires to sive LO kreutzers io a charitable institution he buys a tO-kreutzer post card, anlxea a stamp and addresses it to iis destination. The recipient takes the card to a post e tti c and it is there cashed for lis full amount. I: is believed that this simple system has encouraged many hesitating patrons and a sentiment in its favor seems to he growing among the charitably disposed in this country. HE INVENTED DYNAMITE. Thar the inventor of dynamite sno'ild i.e huiiored as a lover of peace sounds strange, but a monument has just beep erected at Hamburg tu Alfred Not)-! Aft X Lg, 1 3 THK MONUMENT, by his friend. Max A. Philipp. The moni 11 ment, which was designed by Hugo Reinhold of Berlin, represents the final triumph f the humane enlightening idea eif peace' over the rough imi pulsus of the world. It was Nobel's greatest sorrow that the dynamite , which he invented and devoted to I weu ks of utility was so commonly sp- ! plied to the cruel purposes of war and anarchy. "Uteril Hanttag Kail." The "microbe-hunting fad" is going too far in Indianapolis, according to the Journal of that city. "Sterilizing slate pencils' to prevent contagions is eleciared "utter folly,' since sc hool children will play together and so "catch" whatever there may be to catch, and if all the paraphernalia of the sohoolroeini were out in a atertliainn oven ' daily BOSSe enterprising microbe may , lie- in ihe playground. Truly, unless they are eventually to have a separate room and a teacher for each child it is well to call a halt in the beginning to The microbe-hunting fad.
