THE CÜÄ1ITY mm. I

By Ef FIE A. CIIAPTEIt X. Aj early as possible th following morning. Sheila Fraser ordered her horse, donned h,?r habit, and, without waiting for breakfast or groom, left home ia hot haste for Craiglands. She wanted to be first at an interview with" th-i duchess. Mach depended on how she acted now. If I can just drop a fewr hints, and so prejudice her against that girl, not all Mrs. Fraser's sweetness,. or her daughter's artfulness, will have much avail. I am a ri?h woman I I never felt so glai of my money before." She had diverged a little from the ordinary route to Craighnds, because there was a better road by tto doing, and as he trotted along fleetly, she suddenly came upon a dog cart, ia which was seated Beverley Rochfort, looking wonderfully handsome in his fur-lined coat. "llks Fraser, this is an unexpected pleasure," he said, as he lifted his hat and motioned the grooai to take the reins. Yoa are ou. early." "I am goinjr to Craiglands, to make Inquiries," she said curtly. Beverley only smiled, but she saw at once that he attached a good deal of meaning to this hasty ride. He got down from the cart. , "Drive up and down until I am ready, Joses," he commanded, as he walked up to Sheila's horse and stroked the smooth neck. "Is there, then, go much cause for anxiety?" he asked. "Are you nervous about Lord John, Miss Fräser?" Sheila pursed her lips. She resented his manner, and she did not quite understand it, either. "I feel that it would be altogether a pleasant and a wise arrangement if you and I called ourselves friends," Beverley aid. after a slight pause. "We have so much In common." "I don't think I understand . you," Sheila was startled into saying. I must try and explain myself clearly. I know the reason of your hurried risit to Craiglands. It is not sympathy that takes you there, but something more akin to self-interet. Oh ! do not be mgry. there is no occasion, for, my very dear young lady. I think you aro perfectly right. You see, although I do not credit you with any great amount of sympathy, I have plenty myself- Believe m, I am quite sincere. Just now,' Beverley went on, I said I thought it would be not only a pleasant, but a wise thing for you and I to become friends. Union is strength, you know, Miss Fräser ; a pood old maxim." f "Don't you think yon had better leave conundrums done. and speak out straight. Mr. Rochfort 7 "I will," he answered, quietly. "Sheila, we are both persons of determination and ambition. My ambition takes one form. yours another ; but on on point we are liko we would sacrifice much to sain our ends ; would we not?" Sheila's cold gray eyes flashed as she nodded her head. "You hate the girl ; I hate tilni ! Yo'j re determined that John Glendurwool hll make you his wife; I am as equally determined I shall make her mine. Arrived so far, the rest should be easy. Sheila drew a sharp breath. She loathed him for his shrewdness in having read her nv'nd so clearly, but his words had brought a new aspect altogether. "It is for you to suggest," she said, peaking swiftly and in low tones. As you said just now, union is strength, and so-" "So yon agree to be friends, eh?" Ttevtrley smiled. He had never had the smallest fear of failing. lie had not watched Sheila so carefully these past days for nothing. He held out his hand as he spoke and Sheila put hers into It. . "Have you any plans?" she asked, abruptly. She was no longer so eager to be gone. One glimpse at this man's smiling, handsome, evil face told her that he would do all be wished. Even in the midst of the satisfaction that came with a rush, she could not repress a feeling of jealousy and envy that he should love Audrey and be indifferent to her. Sheila. "I will tell you more when I return from London. My journey there is not wholly unconnected with this . .matter. And now, I think I must say Aa revoir.' I sincerely trust you will find Lord John not so bad as manor reports. Carry my sympathy and regards to her new grace: she is a charming woman, and will make an altrgether excellent mother-in-law." Shei.a smiled mechanically, and gathring up her reins, she rode 6n. She gave a sort of shudder as she went, and the memory of Beverle's dark, glittering yes lingered with her. She felt, somehow, so powerless when she was with him. Sheik always felt a thrill at her heart as she rode or drove up to Craiglands. Now as she passed up the avenue and drew rein at the covered doorway, a man with powdered hair and grave face came forward to meet her. IIt grace' love, miss, and sh begs 70a will excus her this morning; she does not feel eqaal to leaving his lordship's room. She begs, also, to thank you, xaiss. for having taken the trouble to ride over and make inquiries." . "Does Dr. Sentance think there Is any danger?" she asked, and there was genuine anxiety in her voice. "Dr. Sentance considers his lordship's condition very serious," replied the servant. Sheila rode back to Dingle wood cross and anxious. She met Dr. Sentance coming down the avenue, and stepped to question blm. "The poor fellow has not recovered .consciousness yet," the medical man answered. "I have telegraphed up for Rawson and Locksley. Miss Fräser, It is horrible, a dastardly affair, and for the life of me I can't understand iL Lord Olendurwood never seemed to have an enemy in- the world ; but upon my word this looks to me like a malicious attack. It has turned out he had next to nothing in his pockets. Of course, his watch was valuable. Bat who on earth is there about here who could" have borne him a grudge for anything he has ever done and aid? I suppose you hae sent for further police assistance, Miss Fräser?" he went on. Sheila confessed she had not even thought of it. "Ar not the Mountberry men sufficient?" she asked. "This k pre-eminently a case for an astute detective," he said ; "and I should telegraph 'up at once to Scotland Yard, If I were you. As the affair happened in your grounds, of course. It would be pleasanter for you to have ii sifted thoroughly." -Yoa are quite right!" Sheila said, warmly, although she could have struck him with her whip for daring to dictate to her. "I will send up to London at nee." As she said this, the thought of lieverley Itochfort came into her mind, and all t once she determined to learn his address from Mr. Thorngate, and telegraph to him to send down a detective, why, he coulJ scarcely hare told. CHAPTER XI. It was long before poor Audrey cloed ter tired, aching eyes that eventful night ; he had shed no more tears after that one passionate outburst; she felt too much pain end anxiety for this natural relief. ,AI1 she could think of was Jack Glenduryoo Ijing alone in the bracken, insen

sibly half murdered. She accepted her motner s tender conuort, in a vague, ( dreamy way. All the sudden joy and j pride that had sprung into being early in the evening, as she listened to the story of her birth, seemed to have vanished beneath this great sorrow. The sun was shining high In the heavens when she opened her eyes, and found her mother bendin; anxiously over her. Constance Fräser gained strength at sight of her child's suffering. She was now the strong, courageous woman; she put aside all her invalid ways, and rose supreme to the, moment. "Look after her well," she said to Marshall, as she donned her outdoor garments, and prepared to drive over to Cra inlands. The duchess, proud, self-reliant, selfpossessed as she was generally classed to be, was after all only an ordinary woman, with a mother's heart beating quick and strong in her breast. Her two beys had been her darlings from the earliest days of their childhood ; she had never been so fond or so proud of her one daughter, who was too much like her father in nature and character to' prove a comfort to the other parent. The tears came to the mother's eyes as Constance Fräser, after speaking all the consolation and sympathy she could think of. mentioned the. countess' name. "I will stay with you till Gladys comes," she said, gently; "I am sure there is much I can do."' "Glidys will not come," the duchess answered, quietly enough ; and then all at once she broke down. "Oh. Constance ! ' My dear ! My dear I" ihe moaned, "what shall I do if I lose both my boys? Duncan's days are numbered I know it only too well and Jack, my bonny, my dear, good, noble Jack I" Then Constance knelt besida her and cheered her again. "You are alarmed by this insensibility; it is nothing; It often happens with concussion of the brain. I prophesy that In a week's time you will have Jack out of bed, or very nearly so. Now I want you to look at me ; don't you see a changs ia my face? Yes, I see you do; shall I tell yon all about it?" And then, as gently, as briefly as she could, Constance .bared the secrets of her heart to her friend. "And you have found your child. Constance? I am glad. I rejoice, my dear, in your happiness. You mu3t let me see her soon. I shall love her for your sake and for poor Frank's; he was a great favorite of mine." Constance Fraser covered her face with her hands, and when she drew them awayit was ashen white. "Hush !" she said, almost Inaudibly ; "do not let us speak of him. The pain is too deep, too great. Such horrible remorse comes over me when I begin to think, that I fear for my reason. I know now I was deceived, that I doubted him wrongly; but but that is all I dare let myself know just yet, it makes my heart bleed." . The duchess bent and kissed the sweet, white face. "Have courage ! Remember your child!" she whispered. " do! I do!" answered Constance, brokenly. "In her I must live again. God-mamma, I want you to promise to befriend her, to stand by her always." "For your sake and for hers, I promise this, Constance; she shall never want a friend while I am alive." John Glendurwood's condition showed no change, and although Dr. Sentance declared he would pull his patient through, he nevertheless felt much doubt and anxiety as to his ultimate success. "It is the mind that is keeping him back," he declared over and over again to Mrs. Fraser, and at last ventured to express the am idea to the duchess. That very same evening as Constance was dressing for dinner, a carriage arrived from Craiglands with a hurried message from the duchess. "Would Mrs. Fraser kindly drive over as soon as possible her grace wished to see her particularly." Audrey sat before the fire In her mother's room; sheWas clad In a pretty little white gown made in picturesque fashion, and her hands already had lost the work, stains that had seemed so out of place on them. She was scarcely ' conscious of what was going on around her. The past few days had sapped her strength, she cared to do nothing, could do nothing but sit and wonder how her beloved, her hero, was. How little did she guess that, as she "sat there fearing, dreading every fresh moment, that her lover was then speaking her name as Constance Fraser bent over his bed. "lie has called her so often," his mother whispered, with quivering lip. "Oh, Constance I , My dear, you will do as he asks! It may be his last wish!" Constance pressed her lips on the brow above those eyes that, only a short time ago had been laughing and sparkling with life, happiness and manly vigor. "Be comforted," she said, gently, for was he not lying on the edge of that dark, dread river? "It shall ba as you wish." "And Audrey my wife before I die?" the words were uttered so faint they were scarcely audible. "And Audrey, my child, shall be your wife at once, without delay." A smile of joy radiated the poor young fellow's face; he tried to clasp her hand, to murmur thanks, but he could do nothing but lie there, helpless as a child in bis utter prostration. CHAPTER XIL Th following morning, before Constance Fraser had had time to compose her thoughts, and begin to prepare her child for what lay before her. Sheila came into the room. Audrey was lying very quiet In her little bed, and 'the other girl noticed, with anger in her heart, how exquisitely lovely was that pale young face, pillowed among the delicate lace-edged linen and shadowed by the pink-lined curtains. It made her even savage, In her jealous hatred, to notice what daintiness the mother already gave to her new-found child. "I came to tell you," she said, very abruptly, "that I am going to London for a few days. Janet will accompany me. Is there anything that I can do for you?" Mrs. Fraser shook her head. Sheila went away in total Ignoranca that the most vital turn In events was to take place Immediately. It was no unusual thing for her to go to London for a few days, as she was a shrewd business woman, and superintended nearly all the movements of her affairs. This time, however, there was nothing that would demand her attention, except this former marriage of her father's widow. She determined during her absence from Dinglewood to go herself to Broadborough and make full inquiries about Audrey. "I will not rest till I have full and complete proof that she is Frank Anstruther's child. If only I can be successful and discover any flaw, I think I shall know how to make It disagreeable for Mrs. Fraser and her charity girl." To Sheila's annoyance she found that Mr. Chester was in possession of every f.ict relating, to Audrey's birth, and in a very short time placed these facta before her. "There U not a shadow of doubt, MUs

Fraser," le 6a!d quietly, "that this young girl is Miss Anstruther. I have been mjself to Broadborough and made every inquiry, and if these inquiries had failed, the appearance of the registration of birth and the marriage certificate would settle the question. I have been down to the church where Miss Gascolgne married Captain Anstruther, and have procured another copy of the certificate. Here it is." "Which is so v h worthless paper, considering that Captain Anstruther was married at the time and had a wife living," Sheila remarked curtly. "I am happy in being able to assure you that this romance is riot true, and congratulate you that your stepmother has at least on joy left her in life. Fate has treated her harshly, poor lady." She arose abruptly, and went away. As she re-entered her hotel, she saw a pile of luggage being carried in, and in her preternaturally sharp way she recognized the livery of the footman, who was superintending the portmanteaus and huge boxes, as that worn by the servants of the Earl of Daleswater. She whispered to her maid, Beecham, to find out If the family were about to stay at the hotel, and passed upstairs with the first sensation of pleasure she had experienced for some time, which grew stronger as she learned that the countess and her children were expected up the following day from Daleswater House.

WASTE PUT TO 'GOOD USE. Millions of Dollars Saved In Various Kinds of Byproduct. Great changes have taken place In reCent years in making use of what was once considered absolutely waste material and as a result many millions of dollars hare been added to the wealth of the uatlon. Sawdust was looked upon at one time as waste material, but during the las few years a process has been discovered which has given sawdust a vale greater than that of solid lumber. By the use of hydraulic pressure and Intense heat the particles aro formed Into a solid mass capable of being molded Into any shape" and of receiving a brilliant polish. The only materials used are sawdust, alum and glue. Imitation marble can be manufactured from a mixture of sawdust with ivory waste, water, glass and glue. In Norway acetic acid, wood naphtha, tar and alcohol ore produced on a commercial scale out of sawdust. Factories have been erected In this country and In Europe for converting pine needles Into forest wool. This Is used for mattresses and furniture, for manufacture Into hygienic articles such as undervests and chest protectors. ' The principal use of sawdust seems destined to be in the production of sugar and alcohol. It is practically pure cellulose and easily convertible Into those products.; For many years bituminous coal opeators threw away slack as waste. Now It commands at the mines 75 cents a ton. The Increase Ls largely due to the demand coming from makers of cement Formerly they bought lump coal and pulverized It Now they use slack. Quartz rock was not Ions a;o considered worthless. Now glass Is made from it Coffins, tombstones, bricks, tilings and Blmllar articles can be made of this glass. Packing establishments have a Ijng list of byproducts. The blood of the slaughtered animals ls congealed and manufactured Into buttons and Is also utilized In the production of albumen for the use of calico printers, the sugar refiner, the tanner and others. The bones ae used for a score of different purposes, being manufactured Into knife and toothbrush handles, chessmen, combs, backs of brushes, mouthpieces of pipes and various other articles. Black hoofs are used In the manufacture of cyanide of potassium for gold extraction and also ground up to make fertilizer. Many articles, such as clue. fly paper, sandpaper. gelatine. , Islnglass, curled hair, brUtles, wool feit laundry soap, ammonia, etc., are now made from the former waste products of the abattoir. The annual value of the byproducts of . the packing Industry, all of which are manufactured out of what was considered waste material thirty years ago. Is approximately $2P0.000,(XX. Cotton Beed not very Ion? ago was waste matter, giving considerable trouble to get rid of, but In 1900 the byproducts from cotton seed were valued In thli country at more' than $42,000,000, which has probably doubled by this time.

Heavy Glo-ves. The wealthy old gentleman came up the steps dripping with perspiration and puffing like an automobile. "Oh, father," faltered the, beautiful heiress, nervously, "where have you been?" "I have been attending to that French count who ls after your hand and my bullion." "Gracious, father, I hope yoi haven't been rude. The count Is such a delicate gentleman. Didn't I tell you to handle him with gloves?" The old gentleman smiled grimly. "Oh, I handled him with gloves all right" "You did? Oh, I am so glad." "Yes, the biggest boxing gloves I could find, and then I put a horseshoe In each." Afraid He'd Change, "Could you guess how old I am?" said the girl with the crows' feet giving a little giggle.

The House. There are hundred-; of women who clean house and every article, oven down to an insignificant little pincushion, is put right hack in its old accustomed place. There Is nothing so monotonous as a house forever presenting the same appearance. It is pleasant to make a cheerful change In every room. There is a woman who makes it a rule to always change some of her pictures. She has a number of beautiful frames. S'i she selects new prints for them. The In-st masters are copied and it is possible to secure beautiful p'ctures for only a little money: Then the old ; prints may be put away for future use. It has a great deal to do with making aome look a little more cheerful. Wornei have learned that a few good articles in a room are more artistic than a great amount of gaudy furniture and this new regime of household affairs Is responsible for less work. too. In thLs ag. when there Is every convenience imaginable, it really seems strange

The narrow, plaited frill with which our grandmothers edged their Jjrldal lingerie Is the dominating decoration for shirtwaists and more elaborate bodices, says -Mary Dean. In England it has never gone out and at all the fashionable white-goods shops It Jells ready-made, with plain hemmed or hemstitched finish, or very narrow lace by the yard or bolt. For furbishing last year's shirtwaists this knife-plaited ruffling is invaluable. On silk waists the tiny rullling upiears in the form of the same material, velvet ribbon- or dainty lace. A very pretty English model (end some of our most demure and girlish designs come from English shops) shown in the picture Is developed in pale tan colored nessaliue silk.

Down from the shoulder on cither side run three side pleats les. than an inch In width, turned out These are graduated so the outside pleats are the shortest, measuring atout live or six inches. Each of these pleats are finished with matching Oriental lace In narrower width, about three-quarters of an Inch. The elbow sleeves are finished with a straight cut! of stitched and tucked silk,, edged on either side with the narrower lace.

that any well regulated household would need the assistance of servants only on special occasions. Hut it seems the more women have to work with. the less able are many to do even a little work without having the assistance o: a hired girl. To properly manage a home every women must use her brains to save her strength and many do so, but there are a great many who merely exist in bouses and do not live In homes. How to Stay Younjc. Perpetual youth Is generally considered as great a myth as alchemy. It hn't- Meu have lived and died in the search for it from the beginning of time. And it was just within rauch. Many have possessed it Few have reached it For none have realized that the art of remaining youpg is, like love, hate, music, not a thing of shape and tangible form but a state. Fonce De Leon sient a lifetime in the search for the fountain of eternal youth in the Everglades of Florida. The real fountain was flowing in his veins. It was only when he gave up the search and became a skeptic that the fountain was plugged. The man who discovered alcohol thought he had found eternal youth. Hut he hadn't He only discovered a spree. The vendors of nostrums that are heralded as preservers of life's springs are but sounding variations of that first spne. There 1 only one key to eternal youXh. 'There always will be. We call It enthusiasm. Keep on a full bead of enthusiasm and you will never grow old. Skepticism brings on the crow's feet and the rheumatism. Optimism makes red blood. Divorce Habit Jrnw. It seems pretty clear that the divorce habit is growing in the United States, as recent statistics show that between the years, isr.7 and 1S; the projiortlon was öil in lUUXKi, and Mweeii issT and I'.mh; the number was "i per H,000. The habit seems to be growing more rapidly in Philadelphia than In other lar, cities. I- iving increased from 22 inZ-tlie first period to :, in the second for every H0.fw0. Chicago does not seem to be as -much in the habit as might be suspei-ted, even P.ostoii Inning a larger iM-rcentnge of increase. "Women "Work Too 3Iud). One reason why tiie average woman wear3 out and grows old and plain U that, through a mistaken Idea of duty, she lajs out for herself at the hegia-

niiig of married life a scheme of duty oi which every hour Is filled with work, says a correspondent This she follows religiously for years, feeling that she has done her duty. She, however, soon becomes merely a machine. Can any woman keep brightness, originality ff thought, or even good looks, with such a life? And. without those things, how can she keep her husband and children full of loving admiration? Constant association with . others of her own age. with her children and their friends, and an occasional period of recreation is what the average woman requires to make her attractive.

Old Illanketc. . One of our ingenious housewives tells how she used old blankets. "Every one knows that a blanket under the sheet adds much to the warmth of a bed. We had some old ones used thus lor the children's beds till after repeated washings they . were pronounced wnrnout, 'only fit to use to Iron on.

GRANDMA'S FRILLS ARE AGAIN IN FASHION.

(

Unbleached muslin was bought for 5 cents per yard. It was wet In warm water and laid out to bleach in a rainstorm and dried in the sun and ironed. Thus shrunken it was used as covers for two such old niankets. We put in quilting frames, stretched blanket neatly and quilted around lead pencil outlines of a dinner plate, laid to touch. One of these cost but 50 cents, aside from time In making, and the mattress pads are now in use, and will endure much washing and service in a family of children." Pearl trimming is frequent upon evening dresses. . Wall-flower brown ls a shade used for spring cloths. Cross-over fichu effects trim many of the newest bodices. A great many brown and ecru hats appear In spring millinery. Chine ribbons will be worn a good deal, and they are very pretty. Pale pongee color and putty shades seem to be favorites for spring. Variety In millinery Is as pronounced as in dressmaking this season. Illack and white effects In summer fabrics are to b.e fashionable. Frogs auh calochons are found even on the linen suits ihis season. A soft suede tint and a deep amber are two of the favored yellows. There is a new yellow-green that resembles a pale lettuce shade.' It seems to be gaining In popular fancy. Drap souple of a silky weave made in the kimono order make.? a graceful evening wrap. The touch of gold In tailored suits, is so carefully bundled that It Is not so inappropriate as one might think. Pongees in natural color showing ihaihle linked ring spots of blue, red, green r brown are worthy of attention. White Is the favorite for all sorts and conditions of dressy gowns. It is aiways satisfactory and becoming, two very (i:nportant facts. When In doubt wear white. The dainty Marie Antoinette shirt

waists seen in the stores with a double ruffle down the front and ruffled collar and cuffs will necessitate the use of the old-fashioned crimping iron or something quite as effective. They are very feminine looking, and will be certain to be popular at the beginning of the spring. One of the freaks of fashion this summer will he the bishop sleeve waist, in which the large sleeves of the bishop, the red bands and the stole will all b; seen. This waist requires the short glove, but there is no certainty that the style will be a taking one. and after all the short sleeve and thiu waist may again be In fashion, as they are so much liked.

All the ruflling has the effect of knife pleating and lies very flat. A hoHow-ebested girl will find this design for a blouse most effective. Make your Jumper waist of finely checked or figured gingham or zephyr cloth. For the square yoke select all-over embroidery or fine tucking. Outline the yoke with straps of the gingham or zephyr cloth, shirred or tucked, shirring being lest to fill up hollows. These straps look like the old-fashioned puffs admire--! by our grandmothers and they can be Ironed very easily if folded through the middle, ironed like a. double ruffle and then fluted out by rubbing the finger under them. Another frilled effect desirable for the very thin woman is the surplice or triple bretelle made of graduated ruffles. These ruffles are shaped and are quite broad over the shoulders and tailoring at the waist line to a half-inch depth. ' x All the slriped straps for outlining oval, round or pointed yokes are edged with ruffling, and many very dressy effects are thus obtained. For Instance, on a white wash frock of plain linen, the heart-shaped yoke was made of all-over embroidery. simulating an English eyelet pattern. This was outlined by a shaied strap of plain linen, edged with embroidery to match the all-over work.

transparency Is on the top. The dressmakers have gone wild over It, and Its combination with other shades and a mere touch of black makes exquisite I results. , While these Rhades of yellow are full of character, they are soft and suggestive. Cyclamen, a pinkish yellow tone, ls popular, or rather will be; also asp, an iridescent radiance full of snaklsh green. The most fascinating of pearl grays and again we have all the forest colors softened and touched uion. Thv are all dead, however, for the rich autumnal leaves will not be repeated this spring. There is a' reminiscence of glowing leaves and rusty tree trunks, but that Is all. f Why- O rati ire IHowhoium? Dozens of different stories are told as to .why orange blossoms have been adopted as the universal bridal flower. A Spanish gardener's daughter is said t have started the fashion. She was In despair of marrying a poor lover, because she had no dowry to bring him. Nevertheless, she was conquettlsh enough one day to deck her lovely hair with sprays of orange blossoms. Meeting her father's employe, he was so struck with her beauty that he at once offered to supply the necessary dowry. Out of gratitude for the "luck" the blossoms had brought her, the bride wore a profusion of them at her wedding and set the fashion. Means What She Sayn. A school teacher tells a story of Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth that brings out a characteristic trait of her father. The little girl was asked in regard to her mother's illness, and she replied that because of that her father stayed at home and It was "very inconvenient." as mamma always undestood If she. Ali, failed to get home until 4 :.'i0 o'clock if told to be at home by 4. while "papa could not understand that 4 did not always mean exactly 4 o'clock." UalrdreNlntf Hin I. A good method of seentjng the hair ls to drop live or six drops of oil of jessa".l.ino or some other perfume of the same kind into the palm of the hand and rub bard over the brush, so that the oil is transferred to the bristles. The hair should then be well brushed, and will be found to be quite sufficiently -vrf umed by this method, says Woman's Life. This should be done r.ftcr it lias been first washed.
