She settled herself more comfortably on the stile, drawing her fur eill cloak closely around her, an.l the man to whom she siioke thought that thin was certainly the very prettiest as well as the most candid youn woman it had ever heen his lot to meet. The crisp November air, with its touch of frost, had drought a kIow of color to tiie fair puleuexn of her cheeks. lint how on earth do you manage?" he stammered, vaguely sympathetic and disturbed. "Mi, we et a Ion;; somehow." replied Nan airily, "and up to the present we have not I teen reduced to 1. Itorrow or steal. That will come later, I expect. You can't imagine how easy It Is to live on nothing a year. Lord Vetra mount." "I don't quite understand." he continued.

"as long as I can remember, and each year rather makes a little less, lie is a writer, you know, and an authority on some scientific matters that he dabbles In. So each year we descend a little lower in the scale. He saw the advertisement for this house of yours, and it was the cheapest thing he could hear of, and so he took it. I had never been to Ireland before, but I like It yes, I like it very well," she added graciously. "I am glad you like It," said Lord Verramotint gravely. "I am sorry to say I don't care for It at all. and I otdy ! live here six months out of the 12. be- 1 cause I think It is my duty." i "Tell me." saiil Nan. "why do yon let this delightful old house to us for such a mere song? There must be some rea- i son." "There Is." he assented, "but I would

rather not tell it to you." She Insisted, so he went on: "The house belonged to an eccentric cousin of my father. He lived to n i great age a sort of hermit life, and the ; country people declared he had Hold himself to the devil; that Is nil. There ' Is a kind of an idea that the place is ; uncanny, and. as it had been standing' empty a long time. I thought it best to let it go at a nominal rent." She was gazing Into the distance, a rapt, dreamy look in her eyes. "How strange:" she said musingly. "A lonely old man! Living and dying all by himself! 1 can fancy' him In the little turret room" She broke off suddenly, a Hash of excitement coming Into her face. "Was he a musician. Lord Verramount? Did he love music as 1 do?" twtieve lie was," Verramount answered slowly, studying the varied expressions of her face. "1 never knew him myself, but I have heard he was a violin player of no mean ability. Io you love music, then. Miss IvilmayneV" She did IKf ii"swer f-"" lim'nent.

And with a rareh-ss word she had Jumped lightly down from the stile and was gone. "A singular girl." thought Verra mount as he watch-d lu-r cross trie field that intervened tienveen him and Itailylougli. "A very interesting girl! riucky. too. I should think!" And so thinking of her he went homeward to Mount Kegal. where his mother had imposed on him the duties of host to a houseful of relations for the shooting season Tor some days tie was too busy to call -u his tenant at Lain lough, but at last one afternoon in the decpeniii;! twilight lie fouud himself riding up the avenue. Half way up he encountered old Mr. Kilmayne. who stopped at sight of him. saying: "I must ask you to excuse my not I turning hack with vou. but I have an Important letter to post, and our only servant Is out for the afternoon. My daughter will t.e pleased to welcome you. and I shall Impe to get b.T-k tfore your visit is over. Yon will find her in the little turret room." The house seemed stinngely gloomv and descried as Lord Verramount made Lis way through the wide old hall and up the dark stairs to the little octag ona! room midway in the turrit and faped at the door for permission to enter. "What a lonely life for her." he thought remorsefully, comparing the warmth and lightness of Mount liegal, with Its mauv guests, to this silent. cold home. There was no answer to his repeated Knocks, and on opening the door and looking in he thought at first the room was empty, until tie- tsrclisi' t glow re vealed to him Nan's sleepiii; ligure in nn armchair. She had fallen asleep while she was playing her violin apparently, and even his eiitraiir-e had not roused her, nor did she stir when h softly spoke her name, and at last he gently toiielied the hand that held the violin. Then she sighed and woke. "Your father told me I might eome in and find you." he said a pologei it-ally. "I am so sorry to distmii you. Miss Kilmayne." She sat still for a moment, as though listening to some other sound than his voice. "It was a dream, then." she said at last; "the most beautiful dream I have ever had. 1 o you know. Lord Verramount. 1 thought that an oh man, so old and bent and withered - I can see him now- stood where you are. and that lie was playing the most exquisite tune 1 have ever imagined, something so perfect, so ideal, so entrancing, that I despaired of ever learning it.

the days that followed fur the informal gnvetr of the little turret root tea party, la place of the patherinj? at Mount Hegal. where his mother, proud of a long line of ancestry, kept up aa amount of state that tored him to extinction. "Why don't you po and call on the KilniaynesV" he ventured to say one day. "You mipht a.k them over here sometime, if they would come." "My dear boy," said the dowager, with her usual decision, "those imposihle people."' "What is there against them?" demanded her son. with some warmth. "The father Is a gentleman and a scholar; the daughter is" "I am indifferent to what they are or are not." interrupted I.ady Verramount ruthlessly. "Their circumstances do nrt permit them to entertain or go Into society: therefore it would lie quite useless my aiiding them to an overcrowded visiting list." And Iau Verramount knew his mother too well to argue the matter further. The facts of Nan's beauty and Ineligibility comblued had liecn quite sufficient to prejudice I.ady Verra mount's worldly nature against her. But her opposition rather increased than dampened his own inclinations to go to Ballylough. and oou his appearance at tea time grew to be almost a daily event to which Nan fouud herself looking forward as the one ray of brightness in an otherwise very dull life. Presents of game and fruit and flowers found their way, too. from Mount Hegal; new songs and magazines for Nan. new looks for Mr. Kilmayne. Vet. in spite of these distractions. Nan seemed to droop and fade as the winter progressed. The pretty color no longer flashed into her cheek, ami the animation in voice and manner failed day by day. while there came at times a singular strained look into her face, as .though she were listening to some far-off sound. Her father, absorbed in study and working agalust time for money that was spent before it came, failed to notice these signs in her, but Verramount saw them very plainly aud wondered what the reason could be. One day lie learned It. He had run in on his way home from shooting and. guided by the sound of Nan's violin, had gone straight up to the turret room to find her. She was playing a few notes over and over again with wearisome iteration, and when he entered and she laid her violin down to greet him he saw that her lips were quiver ing and her eyes full of tears. "What is it. Nan';" he said in voluntarily and calling her by her Christian name in his distress. "It Is nothing," he faltered. "It Is only" She broke off and then burst into passionate tears. '1 shall never find it out!" she sobbed. "Never: It haunts me always, night and day. Sometimes in my dreams I can even play some of It. but when I wake It is gone gone! When I am away from this room, I am restless to come back to it. I feel that the tune is here, with in those walls, and that nowhere else will It come to me. Vet when I am here it still evades me. And now we are going away, and I shall lose the chance of it forever'." "Hoing away:" he echoed blankly. "When -and why?" "Father must go to London," she said. "Some literary business of his has pone wrong, and he must be there to look after it. anil I have made up my mind to try to earn some money. It is not fair he should do nil the work. I shall try to get into a ladies' string band as first violin. Father is going to ask you to release him from the remainder of our tenancy." "Of course. I shall be delighted." said Verramount. with patent insinceritv. while he was rapidly revolving in his miud the various excuses he might offer to his mother for a visit to town. He would have liked to sternly refuse Mr. Kilmayne' request alout Ballylough. Nevertheless, when the latter, coming in to tea. approached the subject, he found himself reluctantly acceding, compelled by courtesy to disguise his real feelings. That night a strange thing happened. Nan. pursued in her dreams by this ti.-iumiiiir fancy that had seized her. walked in her sleep down to the turret notn and. waking there all alone in the dark, fainted with terror. In the morning, when she was found lying there, cold and insensible, they thought she was dead, but with renewed animation came fever, aud for davs she was verv ill and went near to dying, while in hr delirium she rav od constantly of the melody that hail come to her onlv to mock her with its !eauty and pathos and then to leave her memory blank. At last the critical moment passed when the fever left her. though the re suiting weakness threatened to taki the little life that remained to her. "Father." she said faintly, "I want t le carried down to the turret room. 1 must hear the tune again ln-fore I die.' In vain he reasoued with her. entreat ing her to rest, to get strong, to put the thought of this dream out of her head. She would not be apieasod until slu siniiied her own way and had been dressed and carried down to the sofa in the li'.tie r.om she had learned tc love so well. She lay there contentedly for some time; then presently rising she crossed the room -with feeble, fal tering steps to the armchair. "It was h -re that the dream first came to me." she said. "I wonder if Lord Verramount would give me this chair if I asked him?" "ou reed not wonder, said a voice at the door. "The chair is yours from this moment. "I am so glad to see you down again. he contiuued. "I have missed you bor riMy." "Have you? And will you really give me this chair? I have always liked it so much. There is something so rest ful about It- I have often wondered why it has this quaint old tapestry panel in the lack and whether some fair la dy worked it for her own true love." As she spoke she Dotieed that the edire of the oval panel projected on one side more than on the other and press ed it lightly into place. To her sur prise, it fell forward, and behind it. in the hollow cf the chair, lay something wrapped in a red silk handkerchief. "Why. wtat Is this. she said won deringly. "The chair is a casket. Lore" Verranioum. and contains a treasure." And then she gave a little cry ol amazed delight, for as she drew th wrapper away there lay In her hands Tiolin of exquisite shape and workman witt) the magic name of StraJi

van inscntieu on it ana tne date JTJi. She stared at It. breathless, fascinated, theu. lifting it. drew the bow softly across the strings, tuned ihein and began to play. Slowly, then gradually with more confidence and swiftness, she played until the room W3S 1; u-I with strains so enchanting fii.n j, se.Tn.ni as though the very essence of all harmony had Iwen imprisoned within the hidden violin and was exulting in its new l;lerty. Lord Verramiuit watched her S'ellItotind, scarcely able j., Itelicve his senses at this extraordinary change. Net till the last sweet note had trembled Itito silence did Nan's rapt expression change or her nervous ringers relax their hold of the bow; ttien stretching out her hand to him, she

cried: "It is found! It has come back: I rememlicr now every note of it.' It must have leen played on this violin by a master hand. I am sure of it: Perhaps ty Stradivari himself: Ah. but" her look changed suddenly "the violin is yours. IoiiI Verramount: It must have belonged to the oil man. your cousin. Perhaps he. too. spem Lis life trying to rememler the tune, and that was why the p-ople called him mad. Vou must take it." "The violin is yours," Verramount said quickly. "I gave you the chair, with no reservations. 1 ask of you only one favor in return that you will rest now and get well, so that you may lie strong enough to fulfill your ambition and play as you Lave played tonight to hundreds of people." The effect he had counted on rewarded him: the life and light flowed back Into Nan's pale face as she murmured: To play on this exquisite violin it would Ik splendid'. I must live for that.'" And she did. Nor had she to wait verv long for the success which had been her heiitTs desire. The romance of the Ballylough violin j and of the wonderful melody which ! had come to Miss Kilmayne with it as' an inspiration was talked about all 1 over the country, and an enterprising j concert manager at TMihlin invited her to perform there as a new- "star." Then came Nan's hour of triumph. There was a hush of momentary silence when she finished her "Spirit None." and then the whole audience rose to applaud her. When. Hushed and sparkling, she returned at last to the artists' room. Lord Verramount was the tirst to clasp her hand. "Nau." h" said, his voice vibrating with the love he had so long repressed. "I want yon to let me bring my mother here and introduce her to you. She is among jour audience, and she wishes to make up for the time she has lost in making your acquaintance." Nan did not answer. Her heart was too full for words. But as she raised glad eyes to his, he whispered under his breath: "She is going to ask you to visit us. Nan. say yes, for my sake! I want you at Mount Regal always:" And Nan, whispering softly, said, I'll come." Penny Pictorial Magazine. l it Int.

GOLD CHARGED EARTH.

Thirty Billions' Worth of Shining M?tal In America's Gravel. SO EAY3 PEOTESSOS N. S. SHALES. Eint Kar-iard Geologist Predict Greatest liloi of the Metal World Has Kif r Kaona Earth's Sartarci He Declares. Is Chanced With It, and Improved Maealaerr Will Work Woaders. Professor N. S. Shaler. Harvard's eminent geologist, in a recent lecture to C"0 stuiieuis of that university predicted that w ithlu tiie next 3; years there would be in indux of gold such as the world has never known. Professor Shaler bases his statement ou geolog ical conditions, combined with recent Improvements in mining apparatus. He saitl iu part: "If the price of gold goes down, another metal must be looked for as a token of international value. I think this metal will le silver, tecause silver Is not fouud in alluvial plains and teoause, owtug to the difficulty In mining, it w ill never change in value. "Within the past few years men have come to realize that a large portion of the earth's surface is charged with gold, iiold is indissoluble, and wheu gravel banks are cut a-ay It is not easily carried off by streams to tb sea as is the case with other metals. Instead it is carried along, broken up into finer and finer fragments and gradually deposited over alluvial plains. "The new systems of mining which have recently beeu discovered will have produced by the middle of the present century an almost Intolerable supply of gold. I cannot say definitely what the increase will tie. but 1 should think at the least that the present supply" will be quadrupled. On the continent of America alone I have estimated that the amount of gold to tie won from gravel within the next 10O years w ill be w orth $30,000 KKMJO. "I'p to the present time men have been greatly handicapted in searching for gold by the fact that It was scattered so thinly through the earth. They have been able to find any amount of gravel paying from 10 to 30 cen's to the cubic yard, but the exivensv of dredging has always leeu so great that they have beeu unable to extract It w ith profit. "Now. however, the machinery of the dredgers has been grea'ly Improved. Within the past three years dredges have been operated In Russia and In the United States especially in Leadville. Colo., which have proved beyond Question that alluvial soil can be profitably worked for gold. "In the Fuited States there are from G.ooO to S.ijOO square miles which will give miners employment and which can be accurately depended upon for producing gold. Similar areas In Russia, India. Africa and Australia will flood the market, and if the value of gold remains the same the quantity will increase tenfold by the middle of the century. "The production may be limited, however, by n simultaneous rise In the price of labor and by the fact that the mines in South Africa aud In other places where the solid rock bed Is worked cannot be oierated by reason of the Increased expense. Still, there will be n vast influx, and what Its effect will be cannot be estimated. It may play havoc with commerce, but to my mind it Is more likely to bring about the long looked for golden age, an age of peace, prosperity aud hope." A evT- Xastortlom.
