I for The Term of His Natural Life j t By MARCUO CLARICES j

CHAPTER XXVII. Oa or about the 8th .of December, Mrs. Frere noticed a sudden and unac countable change in the manner of the chaplain. He came to htr one afternoon, and, after talking for sonio time, in a vague and unconnected manner, , rbout the miseries of the prisor, and the wretched condition of some of the prisoners, began to question her abruptly concerning Ruf us Dawes. "I do not wish to think of him," said he, with a shudder. "I hare the strangest, the most horrible dreams about him. He is a bad man. He tried to murder me when a child, and had it not beea for mj husband, he world hare done so. I have onlj seen him once since then at Hcbart Towr, vhen he was taken." "lie sometimes speaks to me of you," aid North, eyiny her. "He asked me once to give him a rose plucked in your gari ." Sy.jia turned pale. "And you save it hin r "Yes, I gave it him. Why not? You 1 are' not angry?" "Oh, no! Why should I be angry?" ehe laughed constrainedly. "It was a. strange fancy for the man to have, that's i ail. "I suppose you would not give me another rose, if I asked you?" "Why not?" said she, turning away uneasily. "You? You are a gentleman." "Xot I you don't know me It would be better for you if you had never seen me." "Mr. Xorthr Terrified at the wild gleam la his eyes, she had risen hastily. "You ire talking very strangely." "Oh, don't be alarmed, madam. I had better leave you. Indeed, I think the less we see of eech other the better." Deeply wounded and astonished a this extraordinary outburst, Sylvia allowed him to stride away without a word. The next day he met her, and, bowing, passed swiftiy. This pained her. ' So a weik passed, and Mr. North did not retnrn. Unluckily for the poor vrretch. the very self-sacrifice he had mad brought about the precise condition of thines which he was desirous to avoid. But the very fact cf the sullen wrenching away of ber companion, showed her how barren was the solitary life to which she had been fated. Her husband, she had long ago admitted, with bitter self-communings was utterly unuited to her. She could find la his society no enjoyment, and for the sympathy which she needed was compelled to turn elsewhere. She understood that his love for her had burned itself out. In a word, she found that the society of No'th had beome so far necessary to her,: that to be, deprived of it was a grief notwithstanding that her husband remained to console her. After a week of such reflections, the barrenness of life grew insupportable to her, and one day she came to Maurice and Legged to be sent back to Hotart Town. "I cannot live in this horrible islanl," she said. "I am getting ilL Let me go to my father for a few months, Maurice." Maurice consented. His wife was looking ill, and Major Vickers ws an oil man a rich old man who loted his only daughter. It was not unlejrabh? that Mrs. Frere should vhit herS'father; indeed, so little sympathy was there between the pair. that, the Erst astonishment over, Maurice felt rather glad to get rid of her for a while. "You can go back in the fady Franklin, if you like, my dear," he said. "I expect her every day." At this decision much to his surprise she kised Lira with more ho7? of affection than the had manifested for a long time. The news of the approaching depart ure became known, but still North did not make his appearance. Had it not bsea a step beneath the dignity of a woman, Mrs. Frere would have gone herself and asked him the meaning of his cnaccouutable rudeness; but there was just sufficient morbidity in the sympathy she had. for him to restrain her frcrn an act which a young girl, though net more innocent, wou.'d have dared Trithout hesitation. Detweea the commandant and the chaplain now arose a coolness, and Frere tit himself, by various; ' petty trr-nrJGs, to dirgmt North and compel Liza to a resignation of his oSce. The convict jailors speedily marked the dlffcreses in the treatment of the chaplain, cr.d thtir demeanor changed. For rec;?ct wns substituted lasolenc; for clacrity, t for prompt obedi ence, irr-irtinent intrusion. The men vrhem North favored were selected as crucial is;i?ct3 for harshness, and for prisoner to be seen liking to the cler-. nrrtsa -wt sudcient to insure for him a t;rie3 cf tyrannies. There was but ca being who w.u not to be turned from V-J alls-ixce the convict murderer, Clcfus Taws, who awaited death. For nany days he had remained mute, broken dowr. beneath his weight of sorrow c? cf salhnners. Freiv, unable to comprehend the re-a-c;a of the calmness with which the doomed felon met his taunts and torments, thought that he was shcuming juty to gain some indulgence cf meat nd drink, and redoubled hU severity. Ha ordered Dawes to be taken out to trcrk just before the hour at which the chaplaia was accustomed to visit him. TL? ruthod and manner of Frer Vs zzizr-z became a subject of whispered cruverfaMoa cn the bland. It was reported that North had been forbidden to visit tfce convict, bat that he had refused to accept the prohibition, and, by a threat oi wnat ne woujj do wnen the rtturninT vessel had landed him in notart Toun, had compelled the commandant tt vithdraw his order. The commandant, however, speedily discovered ia Ruf us Eawes signs of insubordination ; and s-?t to work again to reduce agaiüi still turner the "spirit he had so ingeniously "broken." The unhappy convict was deprived of food, was kept awake at nights, was put to the hardest Lxbor, was loaded with the heaviest Irons. Troke suggested that, if the tort-red wretch would decline to see the chaplaiu, some amelioration of his condition mijrht be effected; but his suggestions were in vain.1 Firmly believing that bis death was certain. Dawes clung to XorVi as the savior of his agonized foul, and rejected all such insidious overtures. Ed rage J at this obstinacy, Frere sentence 1 his victim to the "sprsadeagle" and the "stretcher." ;.: vNow, the rumor of the obduracy of this undaunted convict, who had Ssen recalled ie" her by the clergyman at their trange interview, had reached Sylvia's ears. Ehe questioned her husband concerning the convict's misdoing, frut, rrith the petulant brutality which h..invnriabr displayed when the name of Fuf-3 Daws intruded itself into their convention, Maurice Frere harshly 5fT"li satisfy her. ' One stdtry afternoon, when the com-rz-cdant had gone oa a visit of inspection. Trohe, lounging at the door of the r3W pri-oa, beheld with surprise the figcre cf the connandant's lady. . "What b it, ma'am V he asked, ccarcely able to believe his eyes. "I xrizt to e?a the prboner Dawes." "Ha's he's endrr punishment, "What do yon ctrn?

'Open the door at oace at once!" Thus commanded, Troke, with a hasty growl of its "being no affair of his. and he hoped Mrs. Frere would tell the captain how it happened," flung open the door of a cell on the right hand of the doorway. It was so dark that at first Sylvia could distinguish nothing bit the outline of a framework, with son.ething stretched upon it that resembled a human body. Her first thought was that the man was dead, but this was not so he groaned. Her eyes, accustomed themselves to the gloom, began to see what the "punishment" was. Upon the floor was placed an iron frame about six feet long, and two and a half feet wide, with round iron bars, placed transversely, about twelve inches apart. The man she came to seek was bound in a horizontal position upon this frame, with Ms neck projecting over the end of it. If he allowed his head to hang, the Hood rushed to his brain, and suffocated him, while the effort to keep it raised strained every muscle to agony pitch. His face was purple, and he foamed at the mouth. Sylvia uttered a cry. "This is no punishment; it's murder! Who ordered this?" "The commandant," said Troke, sullenly. "I don't believe it. Loose him, 1 say. Iltiley! you. sir, there!" The noise had brought several warders to the spot. "Do you hear me? Do you know who I am? Loose him, I say!" In her eagerness and compassion, she was on her knees by the side of the infernal machine, plucking at the ropes with her delicate fingers. "Wretches, you have cut his flesh! He is dying! Help! You have killed him!" The prisoner. In fact, seeing this angel of mercy stooping over him, and hearing close to him the tones of a voice that for seven years he had heard but in hii dreams, had fainted. Troke and nailey, alarmed by her vehemence, dragged the stretcher out into the light, and hastily cut the .'ashlngs. Dawes rolled off like a log, rnd his head fell against Mrs. Frere. ' Troke ronghly pulled him aside and called for water. Sylvia, trembling with sympathy, and pale with passion, turned upon the crew.. 'TIow long has he been like this?" "An hour," said Troke. "A lie!" said a stern voice at the door. "He has been there nine hours!" , "Wretches!" cried Sylvia, "you shall hear more of this. Oh, oh! I am sick" she felt for the wall "I I " North watched her with agony oa hi face, but did not move. "I faint. I " She uttered a despairing cry that was not without a touch of anger. "Mr. North! do you not see? Oh! Take me home take me home!" And she would Lave fallen across the body of the tort xeu prisoner had not North caught her inrytfU arms. . fiVufuiyDawes, awaking from his stumor,: Jsiw,, in the midst of a sunbeam wiuc'a penetrated a window ,ia the corridor, the woman who came to save his body supported by the priest who came to save his soul; and, staggering to his knees, he stretched out his hands with a hoarse cry. Perhaps something in the action brought back to the dimmed remembrance of the commandant's wife V- image of a similar figure stretching rjh its hands to a frightened child In fi.e 'xnysterious far-off time. She startrv..?Jjd, pushing back her hair, bent a f;?t ' ul, terrified gaze upon the face of toe" kneeling nrlt, .as though she would fain read there explanation of the shadowy memory which haunted her. It is possible that she would have spoken, but North thinking too excitement had produced one of those hysterical crises which were common to her gently drew her, still gazing, back toward the gate. The convict's arms fell, and aa indefinable presentiment of evil chilled him as he beheld the priest slowly draw the fair young creature from out the sunlight Into the grim shadow of the heavy archway. For an instant the gloom swallowed them, and then they passe I out of the prison archway into the frtVair of heaven and the sunlight glowed golden on their faces. . "You are ill," said North. "You will faint. Why do you look so wildly?" "What is it?" she whispered, more ia answer to her own thoughts than to his question- --"what is it that links me to that man? What deed what terror what memory?; I tremble with crowding thoughts that die ere they can whisper to ne. Oh, that prison!" They readied the house, and he placed her tenderly la a chair. "Now yoa are safe, madam, I will leave you." She burst into tears. "Why do you treat me thus, Mr. North? What have I done to make yoa hate me?" "Hate you!" said North, with trembling lips. Oh, no, I do not do not hate jou. I am rude in my speech, abrupt' In my manner. You must forget it and and me." A horse's feet crashed upon the gravel, and an instant after Maurice Frere burst into :he room. Returning from the Cascade!, he had met Troke, and learned the release of the prisoner. Furious at this usurpation of authority by his wife, his self-esteem wounded by the thought that she bad witnessed his mean revenge upon the man he had so infamously wrvnged, and his natural brutality enhanced by brandy, he had made for the house -c full gallop, determined to as-se-his authority. Blind with rage, he saino one but his wife. "What's this I liar? You have been meddling in my business! You release prisoners!" "Captain Frere!". said Nortis stepping forward to assert, the restraining presence or a stranger. ! rere siartea, as tonished at the intrusion of the 'haplain. Here was another outrage of his dignity, another insult to his supreme authority. "You here, too! What do you rant here? This is your quarrel, is it?" Iiis eyes glanced wrathfully from one to the other, and he itrode toward North. "You hypocritical, lying scoundrel, if it wasn't for your black coat, I'd " ' 4 'Maurice!" cried Sylvia, in aa agony of shame and terror, striving to placn a restraining hand upon his arm. 'fie turned upon her with so fierce a curse that North, pale with righteous rage, seemed prompted to strike the burly rufnan to the earth. For a moment or two the two men faced each other, and then Frere, muttering threats of vengeance against each and all convict; jailers, wife and priest flung the suppliant woman violently from him anf rushed from the room. She fell heavilj against the wall, and as the chaplain raised her he heard the hoof strokes of the departing horse. "Oh!" cried Sylvia, covering her face with trembling hands, "let me leave this place." North strove to soothe her with incoherent words of comfort. Dizzy with the blow she had received, she clung to him, sobbing. Twice he tried to tear himself away, but had he loosed hia hold she would have fallen. "Wly should you be thus tortured?" he cried. "Heaven never willed you to be mated to that boor you, whose life should be all sunshine. Leave him leave him. He has cast you o2." "I am going," she said faintly. "I had already arranged to o." North trembled. They looked at each other; she comprehended the "hatred" he had affected for her, and, deadly pale, drew back the cold hand he held. "Go!" she murmured. "Leave me, leavN me! Do not seo me or tpealc to me again." .; : .(To fc continued.) .

Why! Oh, why should I be always wrong and nurse be always right? I cannot guess the answer, though I've tried with all my might. No matter what I ever do, no matter how I play, She shows me that I should have done it quite another way. And since I'm sure to make mistakes, whatever I may do, Some time or other does it not seem probable to you (I've thought about this ofteatimes, and - , carefully and long) That by mistake I may be right?

We are not gossips, but when Tommy and Nellie have spent an afternoon with us, we devote part of the eveulng to a discussion of their childish faults. We criticise their table manners, and wish their mother would teach them not to interrupt. We think, of course, that they will never hear of our remarks; but nevertheless we have broken the laws, of hosplality, and our relation to the children Is changed, ve are less their friend;., though they know it not Since I love my neighbor so well. It Inevitably follows that I feel au anxious desire to understand all things, which pertain to his welfare whether his meat Is well cooked, how many silver spoons he has, anrV, whether he sends his cuffs to the laundry or has them washed at home. For this purpose, what more natural than that I should encourage the prattling tongues of his children? But when I have added to the already over-burdened world a new supply of gossips and scandalmonogcrs not to mention a few choice specimens of the woman who tells all she knows, I am fortunate to escape th mobbing which I deserve. We all know that a well-bred child does not talk of family affairs to every one, but how Is a frank, open-hearted boy or girl to avoid answering questions? Even without questions, it is easy , to lead them on. The rtattery of absorbed attention and the smiling, confidential air of an older person affects theui quickly, and they early learn the delight of telling an interesting story. If Mrs. Smith is so much Interested in the account of Mrs. Brown's dressmak ing, why not tell her about it? And if an added 'sh says" or "I luss" brings a smile of appreciation, the temptation Is too great to (:e resisted. The habit grows Insensibly, and the child who, wiih the best Intentions, entertained Mm; Siflth with the story of her neighbor's affairs grows into a busy-body, while the girl who told how many pies mamma made to-day and what "we had for dinner" becomes the woman who entertains her hostess with an accurate account of her doings for the last twenty-four hours a senseless mass of details with no possible interest for any cne except in the fact that they concern herself.

The chief reason why so many people fail In cleanir.j furniture coverings, etc., is that they atv too economical In the use of naphtha. It must literally be poured on to be at all effective. If tUe chair or sofa to be cleaned Is placed in the breeze our, of doors or by an open window the naphtha will evaporate very quickly and every vestige of moths will be destroyed. If the articles are to be left In the house, they may be wrapped In sheets tightly pinned around them. ThU keeps a certain amount of the odor In the furniture Jot a long time and renders it doubr.'; safe. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that no Hint of any kind must be taken Into the rooms while the naphtha-cleaned artides, recently finished, are there. The inflammable r.ature of naphtha vapor makes It exceedingly dangerous when brought near a flame. Cushions, carpets and wool draperies may safely be cleaned in this way, and all that la necesary is to throw all draperies over a Mne In 'the .yard, open the windows, remove tne wrapping from the furniture, and let the breeze have a full sweep through the rooms for a day or two; then there will be no offensive smell, and the furniture may be used with perfect safety, so far . as danfjr from fire Is concerned. -t" Victoria's Wedding Govrn..4, Tho beautiful wedding dress , that Princess Ena wore is embroidered wtth the rose, Spain's national flower, the fleur de lis, and the orange blosom.

Eighty-two days elapsed fjom the time the railroad rate bill reat hed the Senate of the United States to the day when the question was put f Km the hair, "Shall the bill pass?" It is an important fact in the political Ulstory if the country that a bill of Mich a character should have beeu passed al most unanimously by the Senate, but .hat is not the only Important thing to 50 noted. It lias been common. f not popular, to fling sneers at the Sonate, is a rich man's club, a collection of plutocrats, an obstruction to Uglsla:ion. a usurper of more than its share f power In the government ; and these ire not the only criticisms the country aas Heard or read. But no one can !iave studied the discussion and debate n the great measure of - the .session (vithout finding his prejudice against :he Senate disappearing, or else c.iseov;riug that a previously high opinion cf the ability of the body wa3 far to. low. At -co previous time since the Senate tvas organized in 17S0 could there have' t)een found a larger proportion of the members who could discuss a grave question like that of railroad legislation with learning, wisdom, lucidity and force. No doubt there have been times when' there, were giants in the Senate larger than the greatest who now have ?eats in the body. But there are giants to-day, as the next generation will discover if we do not; and the average ability of the Senators who now oc--?vrpy seats has never been surpassed. If we consider tiie matter, why should it not be so? The population U larger than ever before and the choice wider. It is not universally true tint the iblest Senators are re-elected and tbless prominent dropped after one term, but It is true with exceptious; and thore has never been a time when the iverage length of service has beea so ?reat as it U now. Among the important acts of Congress, one which has received less notice than It deserves is the bill to enlarge the scope of the Census Bureau. Until the year 1002, as most iersons in(f-.v, the census oilice was a constantly shifting organization. A director was chosen before the taking of a census, but he wt 3 continued In office only so long as" was necessary - to perform the duties itortainiug to that particular census. The entire force of fctaUsticians, experts and clerks was discharged and a new force of men had to be gathered every time. The act of 1902 made the census office a permanent organization. The act just passd has greatly Increased the scope and Usefulness of Its work. By It the director is authorized to gather once in every ten years statistics relating to the defective, de-pendc-nt and delinquent classes; to crime, including judicial statistics pertaining to it, and covering such matters as age, sex, color, race, nativity and parentage; and Information concerning many of the great industries, such as mining, fisheries, quarrying, telegraph and telephone companies, savings banks and many other things. The enlargement of the duties of the Census Bureau is so important 'as almost to sujest that the name be changed to the Statistical Oflce. In the matter of crime, especially, and the deficient and dependent classes. It will now be possible to gather and preserve knowledge which will be nationab where heretofore the only available statistics were confined to a small number of States. The change will le a gain In another direction. The increased work will "now make it possible to give permanent employment to the best-equipped men, and so to retain them, and thus avoid the necessity of entrusting important duties lo inexperienced statisticians. George B.' Winter, expert tailor for the British army, arrived at New York under agreement with the War Department to revise and modify the cutting patterns of the United States . araiy uniforms. It is against th?s work that the New York association of tailors has made formal protest. Acting Secretary of War Oliver has written the protesting tailors' an explanation. He -contradicts the report that had gone out to the effect that Winter was to design and construct a set of uniforms, and explained that the object was to give our wldiers and officers a more distinctive and military effect. Former State Senator Green, of New York,' and W. D.. Doremus, of Washington, D. C, were acquitted by a Washington jury on the charge of bribery and conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the sale of canceling machines in the Post Office Department. This was Green's secord trial, and another indictment !s still pending. It is both surprising and' amusing that United States army officers should have been detailed to accompany a circus on Its travels, to study Its methods of feeding men amFanlmals. Beports say, too, that the army meu were inot favorably impressed by the systematic work, of the circus quartermaster, and that they learned much that will le of use to the army.

Admiral Rojestvensky, whose trial on the charge of surrendering to the enemy after the battle of the Sea of Japan was held before a court-martial at Kronstadt, Russia, was acquitted after the court had deliberated for nearly ten hours. Four officers of the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovl, who were placed on trial with the Admiral, were found guilty 6f having premeditatlvely surrendered the Bedovl and all four were condemned to death by shooting. But, on account of extenuating circumstances, the Emperor will be requested to commute the sentences of the four officers to dismissal from the service and to be deprived of certain rights which they would otherwise enJoy.
