CHAPTER VII. (Continued.) "Thank you he said Quietly; then, after a pause : "And now comes the main point of the thing. Would it suit you pest if the ceremony came off to-morrow r the day after?" This question was put in almost a casaal fashion, but the question in his eyes ras by no means casual. "To-morrow? The next day? she Itammered, in utter bewinderment. I sever expected why should there be luch & hurry?" Stewart had evidently anticipated this, ind answered readily, keeping a strictly Hatter-of-fact manner. You see, every day that I knock about Jh hotel by myself adds to the chances )f my coming across people and complicating matters; and It might be the same jrith you. We art only safe together sow," he added, with a short laugh. She Itarted up and paced the room 1a unteatroliable agitation. "What yould you think of me If I were to riTt up the whole affair now? she asked, pausing before him, her head thrown back, her hands clasped behind ker. "1 don't think you would go back on four word," he answered, looking quietly 19 At her. If he had treated it as a possibility, she might even then have drawn back; bat his calm certainly seemed to destroy all powers of resistance. After staring blankly at him for a moment, she went back to her seat. A silence ensued a silence broken by the advent of the maid with the tea things. Mechanically she handled them, giving Stewart hi cap. od hearing him aay cheerfully: v"Ttis is like the1 last days on the St. Lawrence." He wfcn on presently: "As con as we have rrpt flings in proper order at Orkwell, wVUSke a lay honeymoon over to tb llifiera, or pome such frivolous p!ar- 1 feel thoroughly inclined to tat mine ease and enjoy life, nd I amure that you will be too, when I ice it. Is a 'fait accompli To-day is lÄioay shall we agree to Thursday, then? Ill get the special license to-morrow. I suppose that rbarch iu Sloane street will I the most convenient for yoo in the afternoon--would that suit joa? And then you can get unpicked at the hotel before dinner, and we can go to the theater." It was as in a dream that she listened. Then, all at once, the old recklessness came over her, and she laughed feverishly, almost wildly, as she said : "Have It your own way, then. Only remember, it is all your own doing. Whatever happens, I am not to blame." "I am not afraid," he answered. The marriage was carried out according to Stewart's plans. The dreary December day was darkening under a ceaseless downpour of rain as they drove to th? church, but, well warmed and lighted, the interior was not uncheerful. At least there was a cheerful center to it, where the light blazed brightly in the chancel, for a shadows hung Jarkly over the body of the church. In the most unemotional fashion they each pledged their faith, and the curate who marriel them forgot his own Immature self-importance as he wondered of what romantic story this ceremony might be the outcome. On the way back to her lodgings and during the long subsequent drive to the Metropole, Stewart carefully conversed in a cheery matter-of-fact fashion, and Mathilde did her best to follow his lead, but, try her utmost, she could not calm the tumultuous heart-beats a? a servant led the way down one of the long hotel corridors to their rooms. It was & cheery little sitting-room that they were shown Into, with a brightly blazing fire, and a testable drawn up in front of it. "Ah, this is pleasant!" she said, going up m the fire, and holding out her trembling hands to the beat. If Stewart noticed her bewilderment, be gave no sign of doing so. "You can bring tea," he said to the errant, who was leaving the room, "and tell them to bring up the luggage into that room," pointing to an open door; then, as the man left the room, he went on: "I think you will find that room comfortable. Mine is here," motioning to a door at the opposite end of the sitting-room. "I've been in possession here since I came. I told them that I was expecting my wife. Let me take your coat. Now, you had better have a comfortable yeat by the fire. You must be tired after packing this morning. I'm going down to hare a smoke and write some letters the important one announcing our arrival, to my father, amongst them. By-the-by, shall I tell the people downstairs that you will see those maids the first thing in the morning?" Thanks," she an-wered vaguely, warming her hands at the fire. "But aren't yoo going to have tea?" He smiled a bit sardonically. "Thanks, I think 111 have a soda downstairs. I'll rder dinner at half-past seven. You don't mind dining down stairs, do you?" "Oh, no!" lie smiled again at the eagerness of the answer, which implied that the last thing she desired was a tete-a-tete meal. . "Very welL And you are sure that yon feel up to dressing and going to the theater?" "Oh, yes. It will be rather amusing to find oneself decently dressed and in a cheerful place again." He looked pleased at her response. Tfaafi right I'll get tickets for the aaoct frivolous thing I can find. Au re-oir.-It was over; there was no drawing back cow. But all the same there was an infinite sense of relief, for within the last hour Stewart had shown her by every word and sign how scrupulously he Intended to adhere to h?s side of the barfain. He had never made a movement to hold bar hand; he would not even loiter over tea by the fire with her. But perhaps the temptation had been wanting. Per haps he felt no desire for more, to say the least of It, friendly relations between them. And yet how thoughtful he had been in every trifle which oncerned her comfort and convenience. CHAPTER VIII. While busy In her room, Mathilde was Interrupted by a knock at the door, and the delivery of a large box addressed to Mrs. Stewart." She was on the point of saying that there must be some mistake, when, with a start, she remembered. With an uncomfortable anticipation he opened the parcel, and, alone as she was a vivid flush dyed her face as she lifted out a long cloak of brocaded velt, varying In tint from pearly white to deepest dove-coler. I vas edged with oft, fray ostrich fearers, and lined with white fur. "In exchange for a soul," ha muttered to herself, and then, as ttough ashamed of the bitterness of the thought, she forced herself to acknowledge f well-timed tboughtfulness of the gift. It was In words of gentle dignity that aht thanked Stewart for his gift as she Stood by the sfrtinf-xooni fire, dressed for the evening. Ue stood beside her, looting down.

Her low-cut black bodice showed flTe white curves of her neck, encircled by a string of pearls. The soft shimmer of the gray Telvet cloak, which hung open from her shoulders, acted as a frame to the splendid coloring of face and hair. "I was right," he said lightly. "As soon as I saw that thing In a Bond street window, I knew that it would make you look like a Venetian Dogaressa. "But surely Dogaressas must have been like Lady Mayoresses, 'fair, fat and for ty, she jested, though her smile told that she liked the words. 'This is rather different from our Christmas dinner," Stewart said, cheer fully, as they took their seat at a small table in the dining-room, that, with its red-shaded lights and groups of well dressed people, had so festive an air to those fresh from the dark discomfort of winter seas. They were at no lack for the casual careless talk of those who have been thrown together in the intimacy of daily life. "Bye-the-bye," he said, as they loitered over their coffee, "you never told me how you had disposed of your victim, poor Hudson. Where did you part trom him?" "At Euston " she lauzhed. "He was rather woe-begone. "The poor boy was dreadfully struck,' and his eyes, as they rested on her, seem' ed to add that it was natural enough. "And he was shaken off without any ad dress, or such?" he asked, lighting his cigarette. "Oh, I told him that I was going to Faris at once, and would write from there, or something of that kind. I hard ly remember what," she answered, carelessly, beginning to pull on her long. pearl-colored gloves. "A conspirator requires a good mem ory. lou II need to remember every word you say to Mrs. Herbert," he said, warningly. She shivered. "It gives me a chill to hear her name! You have never de scribed her to me, though.'! He thought for a moment. "There i? nothing very definite about her to de scribe. She is one of those bleached looking women, with a high, bony nose, and pale eyes." "But what style is she? 'Grande dame' or country equiress? Well-dressed or dowdy? One can always stand better to one's guns with a dowdy woman." "She's certainly not an out-door per son, though she's great on local iuflu ences, and societies and such her piety is L?r strongest point, I think. I sup- , ii j i i i pose sue is weu-aresseu in a way, inouga then is nothing smart about her. I should say that the prevailing aspect was skimpiness. There is always a look as though something were too narrow,, or too short, or too something. "How graphic!' she commented. Then pursuing her inquiries, "Do 3-ou suppose that she will pretend to be friendly at first?' "Goodness knoTs! You may be sure that whatever she does it will be with one object of keeping her influence ever my father, and preventing me from ac quiring any. ever torget tnat. "I shall not forget it," she said, and the confident smile of warfare lit her face. He watched her curiously. "It will be a Homeric combat, if it ever comes to an open battle between you two. But we must be going." The play that they watched that even ing had no tragic figure of the woman with a past, dropping her arms and star; ing out into vacancy. Stewart had taken good care of that. It was one of those flippant comedies of society life, acted by ladies and gentlemen in the smartest of modern attire. , The wit, the fashions, the audience were all a welcome amusement, and it was with the sensations that mark the end of a successful evening that they re turned to the hotel. All the same Mathilde felt her spirits flag as they went towards the lift, for the old nervousness was returning with the prospect of a tete-a-tete in that little sit ting-room upstairs. She had rejected the proposal of supper, and they were wait ing amongst a little group of returned theater-goers like themselves, for the descent of the lift. It did not need the murmur from Stewart, "How tired you look!" to make Mathilde aware that she had grown pale and chill. "I shall not come upstairs yet," Srew art said. "I must have a smoke before I turn in. I dare say that you would like to breakfast in your own room in the morning. Perhaps you will be ready to see me about ten. Good-night!" for the lift was there, and people were already crowding into it. All Majhildejs wanness was lost in a lovely flush of color, brought by a sense of relief. , "Good-night !" she responded, with a smile that was almost shy, but Stewart's gravity was somewhat grim. He had easily read the meaning of both pallor and flush, and perhaps he did not appreciate the implied doubt in his good faith. There are mild, sunshiny mornings even in a London winter. Such a one came on the following day, and Mathilde dressed herself early to profit by it. What woman, freshly landed in England, and with money in her purse, could resist the temptation of a morning's London shopping? She had been up early, having much to attend to this morning. First there had been a letter to her eldest brother telling him in a somewhat curt fashion that on the voyage over, she had met and become engaged to Mr. James Stewart, heir to Sir James Stewart, of Orkwell, and had yesterday been married to him, by special license, at the Church of Holy Trinity, Sloane street. This bare statement of facts being completed, she added a few conventional messages of family amiability, and giving her address, signed herself by her new name, "Mathilde Stewart" She paused & mo.Tient to consider the effect. "There is something incongruous in it," she murmured to herself. "There ii a great gulf somehow between the 'Mathilde' and the 'Stewart.' Which will get the upper hand the old Mathilde or the new Stewart?" But she had little time for such meditation, for shortly the applicants for the maid's place appeared. There were three or four Swiss, French and English, and all apparently suitable enough. But Mathilde did not hesitate long, for :t is astonishing how goon a minor question is settled by one whose mind is filled with weightier problems. She chose one, a sallow little Frenchwoman, with a tired face and kind eyes. It was the dog-like look in these eyes that decided her, for she felt that the woman would be faithful. Just as this interview was closing, Stewart made his appearance with a brisk morning greeting. "So this is your new maid? I hope that she can come to you this evening, for I rather think, if you can manage it, that we ought to go down to Orkwell tomorrow morning." "So soonT" she said, startled. "Oh, It I c&a m&Aft it. You said Ut you

could come to-day?" to the maid, im

French. "Perfaitement, Madame." "Speak in English," Stewart said. The woman looked puzzled. "But Madame said that she would con verse with me in French, which sh speaks like a vraine Parisienne." "But I want to hear your English," hs insisted. "Oh, I do beg million pardon?, sir. I know I do speak bad, but bad! But Madame was so kind." She was evidently in fears for her place, but Stewart reassured her with a nod. "That's all right. Then shell come to-night," with a look at Mathilde, who dismissed the woman kindly. Mathilde was seated in a big arm-chair pulling on her gloves. The room was bright with sunshine and fragrant with roses and mignonette. "How cozy it seems here!" he said. looking round appreciatively. "Are you in a great hurry to go out, or may I chat a bit?" "Oh, there's no hurry." she agreed pla cidly. She no longer felt nervous with him, and had a sense of compunction for her qualms of the day before. "That's right," and he settled himself. with an air of satisfaction in the arm chair opposite. ' "I've had a wire from Orkwell just now, which must have been sent off on getting my letter," he began. "Your father wishes you to come at once. elcome nome. r lora. "That effusion, counting the address. must have cost the dear soul a shilling. Now, what do you think of wiring that we will go down to-morrow?" lie watched her closely, but if he expected to see any signs of shrinking from the crisis, he was mistaken. (To oe continued.) NOTABLE ENGINEERING FEAT. Xomar'i TT Railway la One of Which It May De Trond. The new railway which crosses th great mountain chain of South Norway, linking Bergen with Chrlstianla and the rest cf Europe, is an achievement of which Norwegian engineers have every reason to be proud. Not that it la the highest mountain line in Europe. There are three" tunnels In Switzerland all higher than the highest part of the Bergen railway, but the difficulties to be surmounted In Norway were infinitely greater than those In Switzerland, by reason of the latitude of the district to be traversed. The Norwegian line Is between the Oth and 61st degrees of north latitude, with the snow line a little below 3.000 feet, and. in carrying the track through the magnificent Hallingsdal, an uninhabited and uninhabitable re glon had to be crossed. Finse 13 the highest point reached by the line, and for some distance, al though the view is constantly intercepted by tunnels, there are openingä amongst the snowy mountain tops, with their livid glaciers, through which some of the finest valleys in Norway are momentarily visible. For five years a gang of 1.100 men been working night and day on part of the line. These men has this are housed in small wocden cabins doited abcut amongst the rocks, and the material for them and for the station house at Finse had to be carried up on the backs of men and horses from Flaam. 4,500 feet below. Elsev.'here, station house3 and hotels are bulltol wood. Finse stands in so exposed a position that Its station walls, inner and outer, are of stone, over three feet thick. For eight months of the year Finse is snowed up and Inaccessible. The plateau is swept by storms of such violence that the snow Is piled In huge drifts, with which the snow p.ows are wholly unable to cope, and before October the greater part ol this section of the line will, for this reason, have to be covered In. The snow plows In use on the Bergen line are made In Chrlstianla and are of 900 horse power, driven by locomotives of 700 horse power, but cannot be employed If the snow li more than three yards deep. To reg ulate the drifting snow, therefore, an Ingenious system of movable wooden screens will be in operation during the coming winter, but by October 14 the little station houses and hotels will all have laid in supplies of every kind sufficient for eight months' consumption, and thus be Independent ol the train service. Even amongst the Ice and snow ol places like Gjello and Finse, cups ol hot soup, or hot coffee, with sandwiches of Norwegian pattern made ol excellent bread, butter and cheese, may be had at very low prices. Each famished passenger seizes what h can reach, helps himself with a ladl from the bowl of cream near the door, and eats and drinks on the graveled patch outside the station house. tnifrgmcr Call. At a draper's shop In Leeds they employed a small boy to run errands. The other day while he was waiting in the shop a lady came In and asked the shop assistant for a yard of silk. When it wa3 placed In front of her she exclaimed: "Oh, really, I must be mad. I want muslin." On hearing this the boy rushed out of the shop, and seeing a policeman across the way ran up to him shouting: "Come over quick, there's a girl in our shop gone mad. She wants muzzling." Tit-Bits. Then She Got Fired. "Who's the pretty girl?" "She's the baby's new nurse." "I suppose she understands her business?" "Yes. she's a graduate and she'll take good care of baby; she says no one shall kiss the baby while she Is around." "I guess she's right; I wouldn't want to kiss the baby while she la around." Houston Post. "A Feather In One's Cap." Our expression, "A Feather In One's Cap." originated in Hungary in-1599. At that time It was an ancient custom among tha Hungarians that no one was permitted to wear a feather in his hat unless he had killed a Turk. It was a law that for each slain Turk, the slayer should be allowed to wear one feather. When a Man' Dusted. "Where's your watch?" "Here it is." "But that watch is silver.

Lullaby, 1909. Go to sleep, baby, your mother has scooted. Away to her club and has left you to me. The slavey is out on her bike, and I'm rooted To nursery worries till bedtime from tea. Shut your eyes, drat you. and stop your mad howling; There's supper to get and the beds all to make. Scott! you're a nuisance; your ma will be scowling To find I've not beaten the eggs for the cake. Oh! for a rest from your yelling, which hinders My knife-cleaning task and stove polishing ricks. For goodness sake stop; I've to sift all the cinders.

White crepe de chine was used for the skirt of this costume and all-over Irish lace for the juniper bodice, which is worn over a guimpe of tucked white silk mousseline. The latter material Is used also for the plaiting around top and down front of jumper. The buttons down each side are crochet. A delicate touch of color Is given by pink tatin bands around bottom of short lace sleeves and in front, where they cross at waist line. The high girdle Is of apple green satin. When to Cat Flovrera. The best time to cut flowers, says a writer in Gardening Illustrated, 13 early In the morning while the dew Is upon them, or else during the even ing. I prefer the early morning. As soon as cut the stems should be placed In water, even If In a temporary way, If not convenient to arrange them at once In their proper positions. When the flowers have to be packed early In the morning to be sent a long dis tance, they must either be cut extra early, or, what is better, cut the pre vious evening and place in water all night In a cool place, which can be kept close. In this way they absorb all the water it is possible for them to do, being consequently fresher when unpacked. Maiden-hair fern has the name for not keeping any too fresh after it Is cut; this is partly, if not greatly, the fault of the manage ment. When it Is known that a cer tain amount will bs required In the morning it Is much better to pick the fronds overnight and bunch them aft erward, leaving them immersed until the following morning. Making Starch. If you use a spoon to blend flour and water starch, the starch is liable to be lumpy. A fork, however, separates the flour and lumps do not oc cur. Clothes are less liable to scorch if a little salt is added to flour starch. but It makes garments limp on wet days. If there is not white wax con venient, add a teaspoonful of kero sene to a gallon of starch. Add a little blueing also and boil the starch until It bubbles. Starch is not done when it merely simmers, and all arti cles treated with starch that has not b en properly heated will be difficult to iron. House Odorn. A smelling house 13 a sign of such poor housekeeping that every woman dreads it Instinctively, yet many do not know the best way to overcome the trouble. If one can control the building of her house the danger of Its ill-smelling can be largely overcome in the architectural arrange ments. The doors Into the kitchen should be so hung that there are no wide cracks and they cannot stand ajar. IT possible the kitchen door should not bo in line with the front of the house so that the smell of the cooking Is less apt to carry through. Covers for 3Iedlelne Tumblera. If you have not regular medicine glasses with glass lids, the best cov ers U,r them are round circles of stiff pasteboard. They are cheap, easils prepared, noiseless and can be thrown out when even slightly soiled. Should there be several glasses of medicine to take in succession, have In tbe cen ter of one disc a single red star, in the second two stars and on the third three. The proper rotation I3 thus easily followed by changing kfter each dose. When a spoon is used to mark the glass it may fall off.

The gasoline, which 13 the far-famed and proverbial grease-remover, will take the natural oil out of the lace threads, which, it must be remembered, are a vegetable product, rendering them crisp, stiff and liable to snap. Lace should first be soaked in cold water, then shaken in a bottle in luka-

When lace 13 very handsome it should first be basted to old linen to keep it from stretching, and it should be speedily taken out of the hottest rays of the sun when thoroughly dry. There is no necessity for scorching it indefinitely. Separat? long coats of linen each with its inevitable touch of black are much worn. Newest lingerie frocks from Paris show less lace and hand work and more little ruffles and puffs.

which will hold it firmly. If used for shades, the matting must be hemmed with goods and tacked upon the spring rollers. Place the rollers low enough to make room for the rolled matting when the shades are drawn up. Old screens that have long done duy can be scraped and cleaned, given a coat of house varnish and covered with matting. Cushions and porch mats are serviceable made of matting. Like all other articles of like kind, the edges must be firmly bound, since matting has a tendency to come apart unless ends are secured. Health and Beautr Hints. Put hot flannel3 over the seat of neuralgic pain and renew frequently. Buttermilk Is good for the removal of freckles, tan and butternut stains. A change of shoes and stockings completely will be found as soothing as anything for tired feet. A bad bruise can be eased by applying turpentine. This is also excellent If one has run a rusty nail into the flesh. Nothing relieves the sting of mosquito bites or the itching of hives like bathing them in a weak solution of carbolic acid and water. If the clothes seem to have stuck to a wound do not tear them off, but soften with warm olive oil the parts that adhere, having first cut away the clothiDg close to the wound with sharp scissors. For a bad sprain, put first under hot water and then under coW. Keep this up until the doctor arrives. Or bandage the wound in some of the clay preparations recommended to reduce swelling and pain. It i3 said that chewing pieces of cinnamon bark gives relief to sensitive teeth and gums. For the sensitiveness brought about by acid fruits cleaning the teeth with precipitated chalk and water 13 satisfactory. The brush must be soft. Stout people should limit the amount of potatoes and sugar they eat, as these articles of food favor the deposit of fat underneath the skin. Dry toast, lean meat, stewed fruit and fish are suitable foods in treating obesity, and rich, fat, sweet and greasy dishes ought to be avoided. To breathe deeply is to stimulate the heart and the circulation. It mean3 a full, high chest and broad shoulders. It means practical immunity from the dangers incurred by exposure. It means a good carriage ard a well-poised head. And, best of all, it means perfect physical health. Boy' Salt. The boy's suit that is made with the knickerbockers and the long Mouse in Itussian style Is a favorite one. It Is becomins, it is comfortable, it Is satisfactory from every poftit of view. ihls one can be made from wool material, from silk or velvet or occasions of extreme dress and from tbe washable fabrics that lyre used for boys' costumes. In the illustration serge is rlmmed with a stitched band of the same, but woolen goods Include cheviots and many mixtures; shepherd's rhecks are liked and much used and the suit made from velvet, velveteen or corduroy Is extremely bandsome. To Lay Carpet Smoothly. The secret of the success achieved by the professional in laying a carpet consists chiefly of the use of im plements which have not heretofore been altogether available for use by the amateur. This is not so any longer, for lays carpet. a carpet stretcher and tackholder and carpet stretcher, which functions are combined in a single Implement of such simple and inexpensive construction that It will soon take its place among the household implements which are regarded &s essential. This apparatus provides a third hand, which holds a tack In the right place for driving, while the carpet Is stretched on the floor.
