UNCONSCIOUS GUILT. EASE COLONIAL COLLECTIONS

VIXEN By Miss M. E. Braddon.

m CHAPTER VIII. Continued. -No mortal, perhaps, Violet. Bat love can. Love Is a god. Oh, my darling, I have learned to love you deeply and fondly in thl3 little while, and I mean to win you. It shall go hard with me if I don't succeed. Dear love, If truth and constancy can conquer fate, I ought to be able to win you. There Is no one else, is there, Violet?" he asked, falteringly, with his eyes fixed upon her downcast face. "Can ycu not see how empty life is?" she asked, with a bitter laugh. "No, liiere is no one else. I stand quite alone. Death took my father from me. Your friend has robbed me of my mother. My old playfellow, Roderick Vawdrey, belongs to his cousin, r belong to nobody." "Let me have you, then, Violet. Ah; If you knew how I would cherish you! You should be loved so well that you would fancy yourself In the center of the universe, and that all the planets tevolved in the s ties only to please you.'11 "I would not wrong you so much as to marry you without loving you, and I shall not love any more," said Vixen with a sad steadfastness that was more dispiriting than the most vehement protestation." "Why not?" "Because I spent all my store of love while I was a child. I loved my father ah! I cannot tell you how fondly. I do not think there aro many fathers who are loved as he was. I poured out all my treasures of affection at his feet. have no lve left for a husband." "What, Violet, not if your old friend Roderick Vawdrey were pleading?" said Lord Mallow. It was an unlucky speech. If Lord Mallow had had a chance which he had not that speech would have spoiled it. Violet started to her feet, her cheeks crimson, here eyes flashing. "It is shameful, abominable, of you to say such a thing!" she cried, her voice tremulous with indignation. "I will never, forgive you for that dastardly speech. Come, Argus." She had mounted the broad oak stairs with light, swift feet before Lord Mallow could apologize. He was terribly crestfallen. When Vixen came down to breakfast next morning she found the table laid only fcr three. "What ha3 become of Lord Mallow?" ßhe asked Forbes, when he brought in the urn. , "He left by an early train, ma'am. Captain Carmlchael drove him to Lyndhurst" The old servants of the Abbey House had not yet brought themselves to speak of their new lord as "master." He was always -'Captain Carmichael." , The captain came In while Violet knolt by the fire playing with Argus, whom even the new rule had not banished wholly from the family sittingrooms. , The servants filed In for morning prayers, which Captain Carmlchael delivered in a cold, hard voice. His manual of family worship was of concise and business-like form, and the whole ceremony lasted about seven minutes. Then the household dispersed quickly, and Forbes brought in his tray of covered dishes. " "You can pour out the tea, Violet. Your mother is feeling a little tired and wll breakfast In her room." "Then I think. If you'll excuse me, IH have my breakfast with her," said Vixen. "Shell be glad of my company, I dare say." ' "She has a Leadache and will be better alone. Stop where you are, If you please, Violet. I have something serious to say to you." Vixen left off pouring out the tea, clasped her hands in her lap, and looked at Captain Carmlchael with the most resolute expression he had ever seen In a woman's face. "Are you going to talk to me about Lord Mallow?" she asked. "Yes." "Then spare yourself the trouble. It wouM be useless." "I ?-nnot conceive why you should be so besotted as to refuse a man who offers so much. A man who has wealth, rank, youth, good looks " "Spare me the catalogue of your friend's merits. I think him a most estimable person. I acknowledge his rank and wealth. But I have refused him." "You will live to repent your folly, then, Miss Tempest; and all I hope is that your remorse may be keen. It is not one woman in a thousmd who gets such a chance. What are you that you should throw it away?" "I am a woman who would sooner cut mj throat than marry a man I cannot honestly love," answered Vixen, with unblenching firmness. "I think I understand our motive," eald Captain Carmlchael. "Lord Mallow never had a chance with yon. The ground was occupied before he came. You are a very foolish girl to reject so good an offer for the sake of another woman's sweetheart." "How dare you say that to me?" cried Vixen. "You have usurped ray father's place; you have robbed me of my mother's heart. Is not that c.iuse enough for me to hate you? I have only one friend left In the world, Roderick Vawdrey. And you would slander me because I cling to that old friendship, the last remnant of my happy childhood.' "You might have a dozen such friends If friendship Is all yoi want, and be Lady Mallow Into the bargain," retorted Captain Carmlchael, scornfully. "My father would not have asked mo to marry a man I did not love," answered Vixen, proudly, her eyes cloudink with tears even at the thought of her beloved dead; "and he would have valued Lord Mallow's rank and fortune no more than I do. But you are so fond of a bargain," she added, her eye kindling and her Hp curving with bitterest scorn. "You sold Bullfinch and now you want to sell me." "Madam, I pity the man who may be fool enough to buy you!" said the captain, starting up from his untasted Veakfast and leaving Vixen mistress of the field. , CHAPTER IX. Captain Carmlchael said no more abou Lord Mallow; but Violet had to listen to much plaintive bemoaning from Her mother, who could not understand how any' well-brougfct-up youns vornan could refuse an Irish

ill

peer with a fine estate, and the delights of a trousseau made by the renowned Theodore. On this particular morning Vixen was in a thoughtful mood, and Arion was lazy. She let him walk at a leisurely pace under the beeches of Gretnam Wood, and through the quiet paths of the New Park plantations. He come slowly out into Queen's Bower, tossing his delicate head and sniffing the summer air. All at once a manly voice startled the stillness. "I've got rid of the high hat for this year, and I'm my own man again;" and then a strong brown hand was laid upon Vixen's glove, and swallowed up her slender finders In its warm grasp. "When did you come back?" she asked, as soon as their friendly greetings were over, and Arion had reconciled himself to the companionship- of Mr. Vaw drey's hack. "Late last night." "And have the duchess and her people come back to Ashbourne?" "The duchess and her people meaning Mabel have engagements six deep for the next month; breakfasts, lawn parties, music, art, science, horticulture, dancing, archery, every form of laborious amusement that the genius of man has invented. One of our modern s iges has said that life would be tolerable but for its amusements. I am of that wise man's opinion. Fashionable festivities are my aversion. So I told Mabel frankly that I found my good spirits being crushed out of me by the weight of too much pleasure, and that I must come home to look after my farm. The dear old duke recognized that duty immediately and gave me all sorts of messages and admonitions for his bailiff." "And you are really free to do what you like for a month?" exclaimed Vixen, naively. "Poor Rorie! How glad you must be!" "My liberty is of even greater extent. I am free till the middle of August, when I am to join the Dovedales in Scotland. Later, I suppose, tne duke will go to Baden, or to some newly discovered fountain In the Black Forest. He could not exist for a twelvemonth without German waters." "And after that there will be a wedding, I suppose?" said Violet. "I suppose so," answered Rorie, "a man must be married once in his life. The sooner he gets the ceremony over tne better. My engagement has hung fire rather. There is always a kind of flatness about the thing between cousins, I dare say. Neither of us is la a hurry. Mabel has so many Ideas and occupations, from orchids to Greek choruses." "She is very clever," said Vixen. "She is clever and good, and I am very proud of her," answered Rorie, loyally. He felt as if he were walking on the brink of a veHpice, and that it needed all his care to steer clear of the edge. After this there was no more said about Ladj' Mabel. Vixen and Rorie rode on happily side by side. One evening as Vixen left the stable she saw Bates, who was walking slowly across the courtyard, wiping his honest old eyes with the cuff of hi3 drab coat and hanging his grizzled head dejectedly. Vixen ran to him with her cheeks aflame, divining mischief. The captain had been wreaking his spite upon this lowly head. "What's the matter, Bates?" "I've lived in this house. Miss Violet, man and boy, forty years come Michaelmas, j nd I've never wronged ray master by so much as the worth o' a handful o' wuta or a carriage candle. I was stableboy in your grandfeyther's time, miss, as" is well beknown to you; and I remember your feyther when he was the finest and handsomest young squire within fifty miles. I've loved you and yours better than I ever loved my own flesh and blood; and to go and pluck me up by the roots and chuck me out among strangers in my old age Is crueller than it would be to tear up the old cedar on the lawn, which I've heard Joe the gardener say be as old as the day when such-like trees were fust beknown in England. It's crueller. Miss Voylet, for the cedar ain't got no feelings; but I feel It down to tho deepest fibers ii tne." "Bates," cried Vixen, looking at him resolutely, "I insist upcu knowing what reason Captain Carmlchael alleged for sending you away." "He didn't allege nothing, miss; and I ain't a-going to tell you what he said." t"But you must. I order you to tell me. You are still my servant, remember. You hve always been a faithful servant, ar,d I am sure you won't disobey me at the last. I insist upon knowing what Captain Carmlchael said; however insulting his word3 may have been to me, they will not surprise me or wound me much. There Is no love lost between him and me. Now, Bates, what did he say?" "He said I was a fool, miss, or a old rogue, he weren't quite clear In hi3 mind which. I'd been actin as go between with you and Mr. Vawdrey, encouragin of you to meet the young gentleman In your rides and never givin the cap'en warnin. as your step-feyther, of what was goln on behind his back. He said It was shameful, and you was makin yourself the t&lk of the county, and I was no better than I should be for aidln' and abettln of you In disgracin yourself. And then I blazed up a bit, miss, and maybe I checked him; and then he turned upon me sharp and short, and told me to get out of the house tills night, bag and baggage, and never to apply to hint for a character; and then he counted out my wages on the table, miss, up to this evening, exact to a half penny, by way of showing me that he meant business, perhaps. But I came away "and left the brass upon the table, staring him In the face. I ain't no pauper. I've had a good place, and I've saved money, and I needn't lower myself by taking hU dirty halfpence." "Never mind. Bates," Ehe cried, very gently. I'll get you a good place before 10 o'clock tonight Pack up your clothes and be ready to go where I tell you two hours hence. But first sadlle Arion." "Bless your heart. Miss Voylet, you're not going out riding this evening? Arion's done a long day's work." "I know that; but he's fresh enough to do as much more I've Just been looking at him. Saddle him at once and keep him ready Is his stable tl I come for him." (To ba Continued.)

Rich Girl's Extravagance Caaira Another to Fall. Charlotte laughed ns she rnd her :ousin it uttered out of the carriage and ir.to tho lrygoods shop. i "That's what I tell daddy." she said. ; "What's the use of bavin n rich father if you don't get the good of It?

You see. I'm rot going to college, as he expected, and of course the money he would Lave spent on that ought to le used up pome way. He says I'm an xtrav.igant 111 tie rascal, but I've warned hin: that ut'll think so more yet be? fore this summer's over. I'm o young lady daughter now, and I'm just going to revel in i retty things to vear. It's not going to be 'what Charlotte needs.' but 'what Charlotte wants.' Oh, look, at those leautlful shad?s In long gloves! I must match each of my new' gowns with u pair. Let's stur;. "Yes, gloves," she went on, speaking to the usher. "I want Miss Miller, please. She always waltson me." "Miss Miller's not with us any more," the man explained briefly. "Not here! Why, I sha'n't know what to do without her. She knowa exactly what I want." "I hope this young lady will dc equally well," was the polite answer, with a wave of the hand toward a pretty, blue-eyed girl. Charlotte's cousin sat at one side and watched her, wondering as pair after pair of gloves was tried on, how it would seem to have gloves and silk stockings and expensive shoes to match each costume. But as they turned away from the counter together, Charlotte's tone was sobered somewhat. "That girl told me something dreadful, she said. "I asked her what had become of Miss Miller, and it seems she stole, and was sent to jail. She was young, you know no older than I am, and the only defense she made was that she couldn't bear selling pretty things all day long without having any herself. So she began tearing up the checks for her cash sales and pocketing the money, and of course she was found out. Only think of it! The two things she had bought with the stolen money before she was caught were a pair of long gloves and a lace holero just like this one I have .on. And 5h sold this to me herself only last month went into the lace department to do It" "O Charlotte, Isn't that terrible? Do you suppose seeing you buy so many lovely things helped to tempt her?" , "Shouldn't wonder one bit,' was the answer. In a slightly abstracted tone. "Well, It's a shocking thing, of course, but we mustn't let It make us forget rur om business. Let's look at the chiffon next I've a plan for making that party dress of mine a perfect iream " Youth's Companion. SC FCC CS C C AN UNEXPECTED MEETING. 5 While living In Omdurman, the derrlsh capital of the Soudan, J. K. Glffen, the author of "The Egyptian Sudan," noted a pathetic Incident which he ;ives as illustrating the distress of many families during the Mabdl disturbances, when thousands cf women tvere widowed and thousands of children left fatherless by the terrible battles. We had a woman carrying water for the mixing of mortar. She was as black as coal, but she had beautiful teeth, and at times, when her. face lighted up with a smile, was almost handsome. But poverty had been her lot, and It was clearly manifested all over her bony, half naked body. She was weak and ill-nourished, and when resting quietly had a look of uorrow and pain. Just before noon one day she was standing before the door when another woman, perhaps a little older than she, but with the same black skia and much the same features and expression, came up and suddenly held out both hands toward our water carrier. Then, without a word or cry, or without an expression of any kind, they clasped each other. Finally they sat down on the ground,, facing each other and holding each other by the hands, their bodies swaying and tears literally streaming down their cheecks. I was amazed, but the men worked away, apparently indifferent to the tragic scene. Occasionally they would glance at the two women, but not for long. Finally one of the women cried, "Thank God!" and both, weeping, stared one at the other. I approached -and asked tho cause of this joy or grief, whichever it was. that so overcame them. Thon one of them told me the story. I They were sisters. They had married in Khartum and lived near each other In the days of General Gordon. Then came the Mahdi. and Khartum fell, and their husbands were killed or lost to them. They had been separated and made slaves of other men. Each had supposed the other dead long ago. By accldeat they had met that day. Water from Sand Dune. The supply of water for Amsterdam and The Hague Is collected from sand dunes bordering on the sea. In the dunes near Harlem, where they have a width of nearly two and a half miles, the summits are twenty to twenty-three feet above the sea level. The quantity of rain water percolating to the ground water streams Is estimated nt 1.19 Inches per annum, says the Philadelphia Record. For Amsterdam the water is collected in oieu canals, which are never excavated below sea level. For The Hague It Is collected in stoneware pipes in a bed of shells laid at a depth of hirteen feet below sea level. Harlem Is beginning to build wells fifty to sixty feet Ielov sea 'level to collect water. As fresh wafer is found at such depth under the dunes, while the water at the viuio depth In the Immediate neighborhood is salt. It Is thought that the hydraulic pressure of the dune water prevents sea impregnation. The wrter contains much iron in solution, and for this reason, as well as for other reasons, is filtered nt the three places mentioned beore being pumped into the mains. When the water Is colhyted in wells or pipes It must be aerated lefore In-lng filtered. The Vauk.

Don't for Husbands. Don't hang about the kitchen, with advice here and suggestions there, un less you give your wife the same privilege at your place of business, says a writer in What to Eat Don't require an itemized report of every shilling placed in her hands; Cven should she make an unwise expenditure, consider how many times you have given her the example. Don't allow any family disagree ments or differences of opinion to crop out before the children or servants; let all such things be reserved for private discussion, with mutual contidenee and kindness. Don't use all your kindness and gallantry away from home, and let the unpleasantness manifest Itself in the family circle; try the other course for a time, and see how that will work. Don't listen to the man who begins to disparage his wife, and parade her real or fancied shortcomings to the world. Don't pay a f couple of dollars for a lunch "in town," and half as much more for cigars, while you think out plans for greater economy in the fam ily grocery bill. Don't forget that members of the family have as good a right to a pleas ant greeting, when met, and will appreciate it as much, .is the business or social acquaintance next door. Ilona fiofvn. Where the Mother I Supreme. An interesting survival of the matrl archate has been discovered lu India as a result of a study of the more linpor tant tribes and castes ordered three years ago by the government The Khasls, numbering 170,014, are com pletely surrounded by a great population with widely different csutoms. Yet they have preserved, it is said, one of the most perfect examples t till survlv ing of the matrlarchate. The mother is the head and only bond of union In the family. In the most primitive part of the community she Is the ouly owner of real proierty, and through her alone Is inheritance transmitted. The father has no legal kinship with his children, who belong to their mother's clan. On marriage the man leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife, as seems to have been the custom when the book of Genesis was written, living with her in his mother-in-law's house. But sometimes he only visits her there. The principal duties are feminine, and a woman Is high priestess. The sun In feminine and the moon masculine, and feminine nouns predominate in the language. A Useful, St rone Paste. This article, so universally useful in the home, can be really depended upon to do its duty well, if prepared as follows: In half a quart of warm water dissolve a nnall teaspoonful of alum, and when it cools add enough Hour to make It into a thin paste. Stir It until smooth, then add a pinch or so of powdered resin, and pour on to the paste half a cupful of boiling water. When well mixed and thickened, turn Into receptacles with a cover, and store in a dry corner of a cupboard. When required for use, soften a small quantity with warm water. Orr! for Washlne. Almost every one knows that clear orris root Imparts a scent of violets, and that it is not as expensive as it was formerly. Either the whole root or the powdered may be used, and once the perfume has made its way into the woods of chiffoniers and dressing tables everything kept there will be sweet. Girls who like extremely dainty scents will find that a bit of the root bollcjd with handkerchiefs and stocks after the latter are washed will make them exquisite. Tno-Storr Deda. Among the new inventions for New York Hats, where room Is at a premium, are the two and three-story beds or cots of enameled iron. They certainly have the advantage of being room savers whatever their defects from the standpoint of beauty may be. In width they are about the size of ordinary single beds. Each bed is furnished with a woven wire spring, mattress and pillow. TSBABY Ä - .V If baby cannot stand on bis new shoes, rub the soles with sandpaper until they are rough.

Pasteur's system of purifying milk. He said Tasteur had sought to replace the natural milk by an artificial product. The professor similarly condemned the sterilization of milk and the boiling of water to render them innocuous. He said boiled milk was not a suitable food for infants, and the boiling of water killed the elements therein Intended by nature to make bone and sinew. What is really necessary is pure water and healthy cows.

It is said that. American women spend annually on powder, lotions, creams, extracts, etc., $G,OOO,0O0: A philanthropic woman who is constantly being asked to contribute to bazaars, has hit upon the expedient of buying things at one function and sending them on to another. The oldest white woman in America, it Is claimed, is Mrs. Mary Wood of Portland, Ore., aged 120, who ou July 4 was crowned Queen of Oregon. She left Missouri in 1S5L but was torn at Knoxvllle, Tcnn. A 10-year-old Hungarian girl, living in Denver, is said to be the only female maker of violins in the world. She has just completed her fourth, and all of them are said to bevof tine workmanship and excellent tone. One of the English delegates to the international Bed Cross convention was Miss Ethel McCaul, a nurse who was sent to the seat of the Kusso-Jap-anese conflict through the influence of Queen Alexandra to observe the Japan eso arrangements for saving life. The" Interior Department has given women teachers notice that if they take up claims in the West they must obey the homestead law and live on them. This came about through a de cision In favor of a Minnesota teacher, which was construed wrongly, and has given rise to the opinion that teachers are exempt from ordinary rules. 3Iar Be Very Useful. Don't throw away old stockings, a wise woman advises. A stocking leg placed over a child's broom may be used to advantage on cleaning day. A stocking leg may be slipped over the Iron holder with advantage, and when slit it makes a good dust rag. Some times stocking legs are used to protect a clean shirt waist by being slipped over the arms. A Job for nomine Women. Margaret Hubbard Ayer, in the Xew York World, Bays that it will be the business women of America, the wage earners, making large enough salaries to afford maids, who will solve the domestic problem of the country. The business woman understands the necessities, physical and mental, of the woman who wora, whether she work In an office or In a kitchen. ( Wrinkle.

' Hollow cheeks often are due to sagging muscles. A remedy for this is skillful massage, and if this does not draw the muscles up a slight operation may be performed, which will remedy this. Do not go to any but the best doctor to have the operation performed. To Remove Wrinkles. For removing wrinkles on the forehead try binding the head with a compress of new linen which has been soaked In a mixture of equal parts of white of egg and alcohol. Repeat the process every night until the wrinkles have disappeared. CaltlvMte Self-Reverenee.

A well-ordered household is a wom an's first duty toward the predominant partner, her husband. It is this which she tacitly undertakes when she enters Into partnership wltü him tor the Im portant business of carrying on family life: and. in so far cs his own personal comfort Is Involved In tnls, he has a right to expect it But that dees not

i9 carry the right to expect that his personal comfort shall be the first consideration, and that the woman's duty is primarily to minister to him. The partnership formed for mutual help and support is a serious undertaking, and, when either partner tries to make It subserve his private ends alone, that party is virtually guilty of breach of contract Health and Beauty Hints. Every time a woman worries she loses a little of her attractiveness and takes on marks of age. , Fresh air, cleanliness and a, daily brisk massage are almost indispensable in keeping wrinkles away. When massaging the face and neck do not neglect to include the ears in the treatment, else they will lose their color and freshness. Avoid liquid face powders, as many of them contain flake white, which Is a poisonous lead and very injurious to the eyes. For a sallow complexion drink the juice of half a lemon in a glass of hot water a half-hour before breakfast It corrects the sluggish liver. Pimpled skin, sometimes called goose flesh, appears mostly In the upper portions of the arms and over the shoulders and Is cured by hot soda baths. It is an ugly disSgurement, especially if one wears decollete costumes. Fnn nt Home. Don't bo afraid of a little fun at home. Don't shut your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your hearts, lest a hearty laugh shake dowo some of the musty old cobwebs there If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the threshold without when they come home at night Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere. If they do not find It at their own hearthstones it will be sought at other less profitable places. Don't repress the buoyant spirits ol your children; naif an. hour's merriment around the lamp and fireside ol home blots out the remembrance ol many a care and annoyance during the day, -and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world Is the influence of a bright little domestic sanctum.

Mos Complete In the Country Now Owned by the Soelety at Salem. Students of American .ethnology and those Interested In the preservation of historical relics of ancestral life in New England will remember the spreading before the public of the entire collection of the famous Essex institute, now made possible by the completion of a spacious addition, says the Salem correspondent of the New York Times. Begun nearly a century ago by the Essex Historical Society, the exhibition of tho Institute is now regarded as the most complete in the country, outranking those at Philadelphia and Doylestown, Pa., and at Ipswich and Deerfield in this State, The collection of 150 canvases which the institute has acquired is well displayed on the walls of the art gallery on the second floor of the new building, while In cases in the center of the room are collections of coins from near-' Iy every port in which Salem mariners traded. A case of Hindoo miniature and other cases containing relics of the witchcraft period make the whole room an extremely interesting one. A large doorway, over which is a wooden balcony taken from an old Salem assembly hall,, leads to a htll which more particularly typifies the method of the living of the early settlers of this country.

Even a foxhound, whose business Is to earn a living by his nose, aust have remarkable powers of smell to find his way five miles through the . wooda when his head Is stuck In a tin can. At least, that Is the way Bert Whitman of Is Angeles looks at it, and. he is proud of his dog. Spark. Spark went hunting recently with his master, "and when It became dark he was still running a crafty old fox up on the side of the Pico mountain. There was no catching the hound and no calling him "off, so Whitman left him to return home when he got ready. Frequently he . had packed his gun down the mountain while- the hound was still bellowing on a hot scent, andJ he had no fear as to his showing up Id the night At ten o'clock, when there were no signs of Spark, Whitman left the kitchen door ajar, placed a big pad of mush and soup bones on the floor, and went to bed. Three houfs later he was awakened by a clattering in the kitchen, and a moment later the hound, with bis head stuck into a two-gallon milk can, waddled erratically Into the bedroom. To say that the animal's master was surprised is putting it mildly. At first he was not sure' that It was his dog, but after he spoke. Spark thumped bis tall and tried to climb Into bed. It was necessary for him to use 9 can opener to free the dog, and this took some fifteen minutes. All this time Spark stood perfectly still, but the moment he was released he madt for his supper, andate as If famished. The animal probably found the can near some 'camp, for It was covered with rust Doglike, be Investigated the interior with hopes of finding food, and could not remove his head. He must have found his way. home through scent, as it was Impassible for him to see through the bottom of the can. A License to Marry.

I'll gel you another license to-morrow, but II will cost you two dollars more, ol course." The next morning the darkey came out to the carriage as it was starting for town, and leaning confldentlallj over the wheel, said, ''Mass' Tom, you needn't git me no udder license; I'll use the oue l'se got I'se been t'tnkin' it over In de night an to tell you de troof.
