C'IAPTER VII. (Continued.) Well. I consented ; I everlastingly disgraced myself by becoming a party to an infamou conspiracy. I give you due credit for the way in which you worked it for the address with which you transported ycur niece to Torquay and daily absented yourself that I might go through tae farce of my clandestine wooing. I heard, too, that your Indignation when you arrived at the lodgings and found your niece gone was a very fine piec? of acting. As for me, I fulfilled rr.y part of the contract precisely as agreed. I took my poor helpless little w fe to a certain room in a certain hotel, went out, as if to ascertain the times of the trains, caught the express to London, with your cheek in my pocket, and, as I thought, washed my hands o! the whole affair. According to our agreement you were to send some one .o fetch Miss Lilbourne from the hotel, and see to her future yourself. Today I learn, for the first time, that yen did not fulfil this last condition. You were not only a traitor to your niece you were a traitor to me. You left to probable wv.nt and misery a young and helpless girl who was not Tf sponsible for her actions. Allow me to remark that, though I alwa.s considered you a thorough fclackguaiw, in this you have exceeded all the vileness of which I ever thought you capable. I have the pleasure to inform you that your niece is now restored to her right mind, that she is under the protection of a gentleman and his family in London, that she has her wedding ting, retains a distinct impression of 2ir marriage, and that they are abrfutely determined to sift the whole ÄlTair to the bottom. I now ask whether you are prepared to make restitution to your niece of the fortune you fraudulently took from her. I shall expect an immediate and direct reply, and beg you to observe that I mean business. It will be quite fruitless for you to at-

VALDANE M RTINEAU. This letter was written as fast as the pen could traverse the paper. When it was sealed and stamped, the writer paused. He had very little doubt that, with the influence he possessed, he could compel Daniel Brandon, Miss Lilbourne's uncle, to disgorge at least what remained of poor Marguerite's fortune. Bit at what -ost? He dropped his lead between his bands and thought long and desperately. The money coald not loss restored without his name apHe would have the bitter huof confessing that it was he j J deprived Marguerite of her : and that his sole motive had oribe. He would have to make tion and then have the marriage iside on the plea of the bride's ,ng been unfit to enter into any contract at the time. His cheeks burned with digrace at the thought. Could he bear the disgrace of it? Worst of all, could he bear Marguerite's eyes turned upon h'rp in scathing horror and contempt? Springing up. he paced the room again with restless feet. "Atone atone!" cried conscience. "It is all that remains to you. Give Lack the money that you received for that shameful piece of work. Set Marguerite free free to marry some one whem she loves!" He caught his breath and leaned against the wall; he looked the picture of misery. He thought of the daily visits he paid Marguerite at Torquay how the sad eyes brightened at his coming: how she would kiss the flowers he brought her, how she watched for him at the window. She would have followed him to the world's end then now she had no recollection of having seen his face! lie recalled the tears when he used to leave her, the clinging arms around tii3 neck, the soft lips on his cheek the one word which she understood in those days was "Good-by!" "Oh, thank heaven, I wa3 always gentle to her!" he groaned. Slowly again he approached the table and saw there was something BhlniDg there. It was her wedding ring which she had left behind. With a stjdden. uncontrcllaDle Impulse he snatched It up' and pressed It to his

lips, then paused, aghast at his own action, and blushed like a girl. He held the golden circlet almost reverently In his hand a moment, staring at it; then he put it into his waistcoat pocket, caught up the letter he had written, and tore it across and across, scattering the fragments about the room In his excitement. What was Lady Mildred to him now? He felt that he had never loved her. He laid a peremptory hand on the bell. "Smiles," he said, as that worthy appeared, "search Mr. Leroy's safes for a copy of the will of George John Lilbourne, and let me have it as soon as you find it the first tmng tomorrow morning. I am going now." "Yes, sir." Valdane took his hat and hurried out; even the air of Lance lane seemed reviving after what he had just passed through. His face was hard and resolute; for a time the struggle was over. "Heaven forgive me if I use deceit." he said; "but I mean, if human effort can accomplish it I mean to win

i my own wife!" CHAPTER VIII. There was little outward change in Doctor Stelling's house to tell of the tremendous social revolution which hal so altered the destinies of the dwellers therein. Valdane Martineau, walking up to it on the last day of August, noted that a hansom cab was waiting at the door, and presently two servants appeared, carrying down the steps a gentleman's portmanteau, gun. tennis racket, et cetera. Evidently a departure of some sort was at hand. He addressed one of the servants. "Is Miss Lilbourne at home? Can I see her?" "Yes. sir; waik in. sir, please." Mr. Martineau walked in accordingly; the girl threw open the surgery door, evidently under the impression that that room was vacant, and the visitor walked straight in. then stopped short with a sudden exclamation. A pretty tableau was arranged in the window. Marguerite was in the arms cf a tall handsome young man in traveling dress. She was crying bitterly, and at the moment of Valdane's inopportune entrance Bernard was in the act of kissing away her tears. An insane feeling of indignation filled the heart of the intruder, and he with difficulty restrained himself from crying out: "Confound you, sir, let go of my wife!" He checked himself Just in time, managed to get out an "I beg your pardon," and beat a hasty retreat. The two parted instantly; Bernard was the first to recover himself. He walked forward, hurriedly took Marguerite's hand, murmured "A last ood"by, my darling I shall lose my train," and went out into the hal. She followed him, not even heeding the presence of Valdane; stood on the threshold, biting her lip to 1-fc-p down her tears, and waved hini sweet farewells with her little hand. The young lawyer stood irresolute. He could hardly hope for an interview in this stMe of Miss Lilbourne's emotionshe had not sulaciently realized before the existence of a tangible rival. Sauly he admitted that young Stelling was a far handsomer man than he. At this moment Marguerite darted by him and ran quickly up the stairs. One of the servants came to him. "?vliss Lilbourne will see you in five minutes, if you'll take the trouble to wait, sir." He was ushered into the diningroom, and sat down; the place was shabby, but comfortable; the carpet was worn, but the bookshelves were well stocked it was evidently the abode of cultured and refined people. One or two excellent engravings were on the walls the window-boxes were full of mignonette. Punctually at the expirat.-n of the five minutes Marguerite came In. Her eyelids were still red, and she carried a handkerchief In her hand; but she was quite composed. She wore a white dress, clean and fresh, and he thought he had never seen anything so sweet and gracious as she looked that day. He was very pale as they shook hands, and blundered Into an apology for disturbing her; a subject she dismissed with a wave of the hand. "You have brought me the will to

look at?" he questioned, seating herself near him at the corner cf the table. For answer he produced the document, keenly watching the flush which came into her face. ' 'My wife's only brother, Daniel Brandon!" Why, that was my uncle Uncle Daniel I remember that now! Of course he was Uncle Daniel! Wait." She half started up, and paused, but sat down again disappointed. "I thought just then that I had remembered the name of of the other one, you know." "But you cannot?" Fixing his eyes upon her. he held his breath. "No," she answered sadly, "I cannot," and continued her reading of the will. "Daniel Brandon of Hue Parislenne, Liege. That does not help much. It does net give hl3 English address," she said disappointedly. "No, that is a drawback certainly, but we can try Liege. His business may be there," suggested Valdane. feeling more and more a traitor as he recalled the fact that Daniel Brandon's business, had failed, and that he himself had left Liege ten years ago. Marguerite went on reading. "Ah," she cried at length, "here Is daylight on the subject at last! So my father left me money, and it was to go to my uncle if I married against his will. Oh, I have been nobly treated, have I not, Mr. Martineau?" "You have been terrible wronged," he said in a low voice. She knitted her brows; evidently she was trying to understand. "It seems it seems I have It!" she cried at last. "This man this creature who married me" Valdane winced "was nothing but a tool a thing bribed by my uncle to do his work, paid by Daniel Brandon to go through the farce of marriage with me, in order to get at my money!" "You have quick intelligence. Miss Lilbourne. I think it very likely you are right. ' She locked straight into his face with her large searching eyes. "I have also come to the same conclusion," he replied in a low voice. She read to the end, and pushed away the will with a deep sigh. "If I had my rights, I should be a rich woman," she said. "You would. May I say how earnestly I trust you may obtain your rights?" She looked up at him a strange, puzzled look. (To be continued.)

SHE SAT ON THE TICKETS. Conductor I'liable to Give a Stout Woman si Traiinfcr. "Madam, will you please stand up just a second?" said the perspiring conductor of one of the closed cars on Fourth avenue, according to the NewYork Times. "Certainly not," said the passenger addressed, who happened to be quite stout. She was attired in a tight-fitting black satin gown, with close-fitting collar, and looked uncomfortable. "All right, ma'am. Excuse me." said the conductor as lie moved back to his place on the platform. "Is it expected that passengers shall be subjected to indignities to suit the whims or convenience cf the employes of this company?" asked the stout passcns'T, fanning herself vigorously with a Japanese fan, which bore a store trade-mark. "No. ma'am," answered the conductor meekly. "I want a transfer fcr Twenty-ninth street," remarked the stout passenger in a dUnifittl tone. Yes. ma'am," murmured the conductor mechanically. The car had passed Twenty-fourth street and was gilding swiftly along up town. Nobody seemed disposed to get off or on. and Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets were passed successively. "Conductor, I wr.nt a Tventy-ninth street transfer," commanded the occupant of the black satin gown somewhat nervously. "Yes, ma'am," answered the conductor, listlessly. "Well, why don't you give it to me?" "J can't, madam, because I haven't got any transfer tickets." The car sped on and the other passengers began to manifest interest. Twenty-eighth street was reached and the stout woman, flushed with anger, shook her fan threateningly at the conductor, and ejaculated:; "If you don't give me a transfer ticket at once I will report you." "Yes, ma'am," said the conductor, impassively, but he made no motion. At Twenty-ninth street the stout passenger arose and prepared to leave the car. She had several things to say to the conductor, and while she was saying them in language forcible and harsh he hastily lifted the portion of the seat on which she had been sitting and, taking from a box underneath a bundle of transfer tickets, tendered one to her. "You were sitting on 'em, ma'am," he said by way of explanation. The ticket and the explanation were accepted by the departing stout passenger with a glance of withering scorn. I.:tln an SJi I Translated. A correspondent tells the following good story: A dear friend of mine, a professor of Latin in one of our large eastern colleges, a good man, but rather prone to evolving ingenious things and crediting them to hm pupils, sent me some days since u delicious specimen of modern mistranslation into t lie classic tongue. One of the 'Hour Exams" called for a rendering into Latin of the words "Most men, therefore." This one brilliant student gave as "Hominissimi ignntur." I appreciated the charming naivette which sougnt to compare a noun as if it were an adjective, hut the "iguntur" was almost too much for me. I appealed to my friend. He replies: "Have you forgotten all you learned at 'prep, school ." That 'iguntur' is the most happy part of the th'ng. My unfortunate student has taken 'igitur as a third person, singular, passive, and then made it plural." "We used to think men had to climb to fame." "Don't they?" "No. Hoatcr. dived." . "That's so." "And Funston swam." ,

ITEMS OF INTEREST FOR MAIDS AND MATRONS. Some Idea KrjjardlnR Itooms We Live In Iay by Day Frock of White Munlin Girl's Cloth Dress of Helge Cashmere Our Cooking School. "AU'a for the liest." If every day was Sunday, and all of life was love. And neither in the earth below, nor in the sky above, A cloud was ever gathered to eclipse tho liRht of hope. And the lilies in the valley and the roses en the slope Were ever blooming sweetly, and the land was ever l'.lled. With the tend'reft notes of Nature that the songster ever trilled If a tear of sorrow never came to dim the laughing eye. Then pleasures would prow palling to the senses, by and by. If the sun could shine forever, and the day was always fair. And Nature eer a laughing Miss, with Mowers in her hair; If life was naught but pleasure, unknown to Kloom and pain. And there were no storms of trial and no sorrow Hoods of rain; If there were no fruits fcbldden, no joys to be denied. If the heart vas never tempted and tho sold was never tried; If there were no thorny pathways, like the bravest feet have trod. The heart would grow indifferent and wander off from God. It requires a night of darkness, just to make the day complete. And behind each wall of trouble waits a benediction sweet; Then remember, as you struggle up the bill, thouph steep it be. That beyond its Alpine ruggedness lies fairest Italy; I'aeh scar received in fighting for tne ciuse of truth and right Shall I f a badge of honor on the breast of Honor's Knight; The world may have its burdens, and its g:iefs and tears untold. Cut if there was no ero-ss of sorrow there could be no crown of gold. Memphis Scimitar. Woma u I ml e pe ii d n ce. The increase in the number of selfßupporting women, especially noticeable in our large middle class, is creating a new problem, the economic as wall as moral significance of which is Interesting, says Sara Y. Stevenson in July Lippincott's. If women become men's intellectual equals whilst retaining their moral superiority, a serious competition must be established, in which the non-smoking, non-drinking and generally more orderly employe must survive as the fittest In the struggle for existence. On the wholt, however, the close contact in which men and women are brought through education and co-exertion is beneficial to both. It adds to woman's strength, clearness of judgment and business capacity, whilst by increasing his respect for woman's understanding it tends to raise man's moral standards to a level nearer to her own. Pessimists have claimed that the "new woman" in exchange for her recently acquired fields must lose the chivalrous attentions granted to her grandmothers. Hut so long as men and women depend upon each other for love and happiness there need be no fear of that. Indeed, such a fear would imply that modern man has stood s'.ill when woman has progressed. Such a thought cannot be entertained. Man is not likely to refuse the dignified, wellinformed woman who sympathizes with his highest aims and who strives with him to attain them the physical protection and the coiirte.-y which he has so lavishly bestowed upon the woman described by Mr. Kipling as the woman who "never could know and did not understand." KooniH AY? I.lvt- In Hay by Iiy. "Jt is nice to have a house all books and flowers and sunshine, but one of the most charming features of a home is its open fireplace," says Maud Ames, in the current number of What to Eat. "I should like to tell you of a very original and delightfully gottenup mantel and overmantel. To begin with, there was simply the square iron grate set In the opening, then a wocden shelf was p'aced above on two strong iron brackets, which hid gathered valance across the top, and a cur tain to the floor at each end, of a soft, silky, old-rose material. Above this again were placed two strongly made shelves filled with books and a brass rod at the top with two odd Turkish squares for curtains drawn back at either end. With branching brass candelabra screwed in he ends of the shelves and a few odd and inexpensive pieces of bric-a-brac on the top, one has a very beautiful and inexpensive mantel. A very pretty decoration for a mantel is a black twine tennis net. A double net is so long there is plenty of it with which to make an artistic arrangement. On a tinted wall it is very effective. Catch it below and or. the picture molding straight across the face of the mantel and let fall to the floor at one side, then up and along the wall, say to a corner where there could be a divan, with this caught about over small iron rods for a canopy. With the addition of a black iron lantern hung some place near, either from an iron bracket or the ceiling, the effect is most pleasing. The pictures can be hung beneath it cr on it, or the net caught on the top so they show, or in any way that suits what one has best. Instead of having a houe a perfectly bewildering assortment of bric-a-brac and furniture, it is better to have a few good bronzes, a bit of puivelain. a lantern, some candelabra, a teak-wool chair, a corner with cushions where one can drink tea and eat little cakes with one's friends, and not be afraid cf walking about for fear of knocking over a table or a fragile chair." Toilet and Wardrobe. Sleeves in all dresses are still being treated to long cuffs, either pointed or rounded, sometimes even reaching be yond the knuckles. A pearl and diamond tiara, raised very high in front after the new fash ion, and treated to five splendid pearßhaped pearls of singular luster and shope, Is one of the most beautiful things one can see even in this age of universal excellence. Th stay-at-home girl who must forego the luxury of plungea in the sea should not forget to throw a quantity of Ba salt in the bath tub.

A splendid eyebi "o w a nd eyelash grower and one which is as harmless as it is beneficial is given below: lied vaseline, two ounces; tincture cantharides, one-eighth ounce; oil of lavender, cil of rosemary, 15 drops. Apply to the eyebrows with a tiny toothbrush once a day until the growth is suffi ciently stimulated; then lfcs often. In applying to the eyelash use a fine cam el's hair brush and be very careful not to let it come in contact with the eye, as it will inilame. Here is an excellent sunburn oint ment which should be applied at night and washed away with a pure hygienic soap and warm water in the morning. It is excellent for tan and sunburn, but one must not forget that exposure to the sun and wind will produce the same results. The permanent cure for sunburn is a veil. The ointment: Car bonate of load, one drachm; powdered arrow root, one drachm; ointment of rose water, one ounce; olive oil, two drachms. Apply very lightly to the surface. Do not rub it in.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSE. Then, too, icebox should be left absolutely empty and clean, and with the doors open. Charcoal is a useful article about the house and can be used to great sanitary benefit. A piece of it should always bo left in the icebox, and in the pantry, as it will absorb all objectionable odors. To protect carpets and rugs during the summer, sprinkle with black pepper and scatter bits of gum camphor over the room. Stains can often be removed from matt roves by making a thick paste of starch and water. Lay the mattress in the sun and then apply. Remove in about an hour. If the stain has not then disappeared, apply once more. Creen cucumber parings strewn around the kitchen and cupboards will put an end to roaches. Camphor balls are not the only things that should be packed nway with winter clothing, liite of charcoal scattered through will keep away the unpleasant odor that sometimes is noticeable after they have been packed away.

Cape Town News: An amusing and probably the latest joke concerning electric light is just going the round of the Bedfordshire papers. It seems that at Bedford an old lady on seeing electric light in that town for the first time was struck with amazement. After gazing at it for some time she entered a grocery shop, and, addressing the assistant, said: "I say, mister, how do you make that big light o yours? I'm tired of burning paraffin." The shopman replied; "Oh, it's caused by a series of electric currents." "Oh, is it?" said the old woman. "Then weigh me a pound; if they won't do for lighting they'll come in for puddings."
