Erica's Sacrifice.

Cuntinuf from Second Page.

To-morrow, but the "to-morrow" never came.

CHAPTER VII. TERRIBLE NEWS.

Wlien, that niplit. lio parted from her —for he had work to do, he said, that would keep him up very late—he laid hand on her shoulder, and with the other swept back from her forehead the soft hair that fell over it, and her eyes drtxiped before his. The love that spoke so silently in them seemed to plead to her for something she had withheld from him.

Slur could Ttot meet his look she could seareely hear the grave and lingering kiss lie pressed on her brow.

He felt her shrink and tremble in his rliusp, and dropped his hand, releasing her. and his quiet "Good-night. Erica, sounded cold and measured, and the face she barely glanced at was set and htern.

The sim was shining brightly, yet early the next morning, when Philip turned down the lamp that had been burning unheeded for many hours, for he had not gone upstairs at all when he had finished his work, but sometimes pacing up and down the library, sometimes for a few momenta resting, he had passed those hours of the early morning, haunted by a dim foreboding that all his strong spirit could not shake off. trying to think out some cause other than that direful one he so feared, for the change in Erica but thought brought no relief and no solution. lie looked at his watch and found it to be seven o'clock, and then threw open the window and suffered the misty air from the sea—yet unwarrncd by the sun's rays—to blow in and cool his throbbing pulses.

And, as ho stood there, from afar came the sound of steady, swift tramps of a horse's hoofs -nearer and nearer— and he wondered in a vague sort of fashion who this early rider might be, and where he was going.

The sound came closer and yet closer, till I'hilip could see the horse and rider tearing down the. roadway from Kington at a pace which would try the mettle'of anv horse, and, with a suddenness that'ahnost sent the creature on its haunches, draw up at his own gates.

The rider Hung himself from the saddle, ami pushed open the wicket, and Philip saw with a fierce heart-throb in which seemed gathered all the haunting fears of the night- thai it was Archie i'root or that was coming over the lawn lie sprang to meet him, and led him into the bouse. "St. .John. I am the bearer of fearful news," I'roctor said, when he could speak. I cannot break it." "What has happened? lean bear anything but suspense," said I'hilip, quickly, as Proctor paused, turning aside. "Speak out, I am on the rack. "Forgive me it' I am abrupt there is no time. St. .John, your brother was found dead late last'night in a wood near Kington." "MY brother: Oh, Cod!" Philip staggered baek a pace, catching blindly at a chair near, his breath coming in labored throbs. Only lor a moment, though it mi^ht have been to him hours, ami then the stern control that was a necessity now and a habit of his life asserted itself. -So. that is pastlie said "tell me nil now. I can bear it."

And he never moved or spoke while Proctor told him in sorrowful accents, how, last night at twelve o'clock, a groom from a house some miles off. going home from Kington, had found the bo«Iv of a Young man whom he had seen at the raees that day. laying in a wood not far from the pathway he was quite dead, ami there had evidently 1a en foul play, for there Wius blood tickling from a wound in the forehead, but his watch and a few pounds and some other little things of trilling value were untouched. He had at once gone back to Kington and got help, nyd had the bodv taken to the Cheshuut Hotel, where it lav now. "I \v vs staying there that night," Proctor said, "and saw him brought in. and 1 at once recognized Walter."

He paused a moment to master his emotion, but Philip said, quietly: "Yes.\ou saw him goon." "I only stopped to hear the doctor's verdict,"and see that the police had all the informal ion,we could get, and then came off like mad for you." "Thank you," Philip said, in the same unmoved \va\. "Can you throw any light on it. St. John?" "asked Proctor, after a pause. "None. I did not know Walter had left London."

You won't take it as any harm meant to the dead." said Proctor, "if I give vou my idea, which is founded on some knowledge." "Certainly not savon." "The landlord of the Crown came «»\er and identified your brother as a voung man who had arrived the day before at his place for the races. He said he seemed nit her out of spirits sometimes. and at others very excited.and he thought he WalterUva* greatly interesttxl in the chances of the favorite. He was a good deal with another fellow, also a l/oiidon man. and after the nun? thev both seemed very much put out.— He heard them, he thought, having high words together, and then they went to a chamleague supper given bv vounc t'heshunt. and afterwards both left the hotel. That was about eleven o'clock. iTulip had listened in perfect silence to this recital: not a quiver of the lip, not a tremor of an eyelid, betrayed the agony thai seemed to him more bitter to bear Uian the knowledge of his voung brother's death. Walter, the one being he had loved, and who had seeiued so to cling to turn, had failed, and left empty yet another niche in his life. One more idol remained to him. Was that to 1m* shattered too? He wrenched himself with a quit k-oaaght breath from those dark thoughts, that he felt were unnerving hun. Und spoke again.

This man's name- do you know it?" "Mariin. I think, the landlord said. Wh\ lo \ou know anyone it could 1* "Mx brother spoke of an acquaintance he Ui L-.-nd.-n. vho was coumsi to tit" K.iuti 5 races." 1

Chop in mtv.snrrd cold tones. U» u^h d.-sfus-mg {lie most

everyday subject at least, so it seemea to Proctor. "You have ridden far," he said. 1 ou had better remain here. I must go to Iiington." "No, no, St. John," exclaimed the other. "I will go back with you. I can leave my horse here. We shall catch the quarter to eight easily."

Philip clasped the hand the elder man had instinctively laid on his and for the first time the low voice quivered a Little. "Thank you, Archie. I shall not forget vour kindness," he said: then added, turning to the door, "I must tell Erica I shall not be a moment." "What an extraordinary man that is!" ejaculated Archie Proctor as the door closed. "He is either really cold or has the most wonderful self-control over himself so passionate as I fancied he was he never showed the slightest anger for the man who has done this. I can't make him out."

Erica, who was up and dressed, though vet in her dressing-room, had seen Archie Proctor cross the lawn and had wondered what business could possibly bring him at this time of the morning, but as she knew he had been consulting Philip on some literary venture of his own, she concluded that he had wished to see her husband before going back to town by the early train.

She started forward, however, as Philip opened the door and advanced into the room, but stopped suddenly, every vestige of color leaving her face, as she observed the change one short liour had made. "Philip," she said, under her breath, "vou look ghastly—what is it?"' "lie took both her hands in his then, and told her briefly and calmly of the awful tragedy enacted bust night. "You are brave-spirited." he said, "and I had no time to break this to you gently, poor child. I must go at once, to Kington and see about everything. I must leave you, Erica, now. and shall not be home again for a few days. I will let you know more certainly in an hour or two."'

The girl had listened quietly, a rigid, strongliorror growing in the large eyes that never left his face an icy numbness seemed to creep round her heart, an icy stream to chill her veins above, beyond the horror of the deed done in the dead of night, lay the vague, undefined horror as one name sprang like lightning involuntarily through her brain.

Yet wlivV He had promised her to give up Walter St. .John. She had absolutely no reason to think they had been together, and still the two names rang in her ears, and dizzily she put up one hand to her brow. "Who—who," she faltexed, "is this— this man?" "I know nothing." answered Philip "I can only conjecture. 3 cannot say more now, there is no time." He paused a second, and added low and quiveringly: "Forgive me, my poor child, if my words, my manner seem cold to you there is no time for feeling now, there is only time to act."

Did some dread whisper reach her then that for the last time he kissed her brow, her lips, with that sorrowful tenderness, that she -clung to him for a moment with such wild despair in the white face she liftnd to his? Did some such whisper reach hiin too, that he held her again close-to his heart, and whispered, something pleading, something wistful in the tremulous tones: "God keep you, Erica, my darling, my wife!"

Ami then she was alone: alone with that horror settling down, a black cloud over her life, those last words ringing in her ears. [To be Continued.]

A Cat's Angry Passions.

Mr. II. P. Kurkinroad, a merchant of "Wills Point, Texas, is the owner of an old cat ami young kittens, tfhieh lie keeps in his store on Fourth street. On last. Mohdav a man drove up in front of the store and hitched his horses. 'Hie kitten was playing in the street, when it went near otw* of the horses and rubbed against its foot. The horse kicked the kitten, throwing it some distance on the ground. This so angered the old cat that she sprang upon the horse's back and frightfully tore its skin with her claws. The horse became so frightened at this nnex|ected attack that he tried to break loose. She then stopped until the horse became quiet, then she renewed the attack. Tliit wsis repeated several times until thf. enraged feline seemed to have wreaked her vengeance on her largo adversary, then she returned to the kitchen and licked and otherwise caressed the little sufferer. Wills I'oiht

Selfish Fritz.

Mose Sehaumburg and Gilhooly were talking about matters ami things, when Mose Sehaumburg remarked that Fritz, the saloon-keeper, was the best friend he had on earth. "What does he do for you?" w-ked (iillhooly. "Yell*he rash so goot, and l»e lores me so much, dot ven I has enough he refuses to give me any more, ami lets me not go home dil I vosh sober." "So you think Fritz did that because he loves you?" "Ave course: vv not?'' "Nonsense! He don't, let vou go home tight. Injcause theu your wife would never let you come again, and he would lose his best customer. He knows what sort of a wife you have got." "Is dot so?" said Mose, drawing a sigh, and breaking off the conversation.

Snapping at the Bait.

The crescent shape of the tirst quarter of the moon hung like an electric lamp in the western sky. casting a subdued, cool light upon the path they had chosen. They walked with slow and measured step, and said little. The scene wfl® rapture inspiring. At last, she, looking up into his face with a sort of a scatvd-to-death-like-a-voung-fawn look, "Albert, how many walks like this we1re taken—" "Yes, Rosalind, we hare taken a great manv walks like this and—and—and—" ••Oh, Albert, now don't—" "Well I won't, seeing it's yon." Another case of. snapping at the bait too soon.—A"fir //anew IkgiMcr.

Oar life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn: that there no end in nature, but every end is a beginning that there is always another dawn risen on midnoon. and under every deep a lower deep open*. Cjrcks,

Retaliation.

It is easy to break a man of being a nuisance if you go at it right. There I was a case over on Sixth street not long ago which shows that as soon as you beat a man at his own game that settles him. Fred. Dahlman. an eccentric character, lived in the upper story of a small house, with his family, and in the story below lived a man who was quite a hunter. He had a couple of pups that he xvas breaking, and he would sit up half the night snapping caps on his gun and throwing boots across the room for the dogs to retrieve. The noise became annoj'ing to the family up stairs, as tho dogs would run and hark and make as great a racket as possible. Mr. Dahlman tried to reason with his neighbor, and induce him to quit the dog breaking down stairs, but lie xvas ugly and said he paid rent for the place and would do as he pleased. Dahlman said that was all right, and he went up stairs and got four washtubs of water and a fish pole and line. About 10 o'clock at night, when the dog kindergarden xvas running at its full hight, Dahlman pushed the tubs of water down stairs, and the water run all over the house. The dog breaker came out into the hall and waded through the water, and looked up stairs aud wanted to knoxx* what in thunder was the matter. Dahlman xvas sitting on the top stair, smoking his pipe, and holding the fish pole with the line doxvn in the hall, as calm and peaceful as though he didn't care if he never had a bite. "What does this mean?" said the cxcitcd hunter, as he fell over a dog that was paddling round in the water. "O, noding," said Dahlman, as he lit a match on the shoulder of his pants. "Noding. Only 1 tought while you yos hunting I would .yoost catch a few lish for my preakfast."

That settled it. The hunter broke his dogs after that with a club in the back yard, and Dahlman swore off on tishing. —Feck's Sun.

Self-Care While Unrsing the Sick. To (hose who art called upon to nurse the sick through a long anil severe illness, it is of the utmost importance, not onlv to themselves but to their patient, that their own health should be preserved am! their own strength maintained, not only throughout the critical stage, but during the period of convalescence, oftentimes so tediously prolonged. To all such we submit the following simple precautions, to aid them in preserving their own health xvhile attending the sick: if the malady of the patient be sneh as to cause any marked odor of the bueath or noticeable exhalations from the skin, take care always to sit on that side of the bed or sick person which is opposite to or away from the direction which the effluvia take toward the windows Tr draft of a lire-place. .Sit so that their breath, etc., is carried Away from you. Do not sit too close to them, or take their breath if you can avoid it.

To keep one's oxvn strength in acase ©f prolonged care, and particularly if obliged to sit up all night for many nights in succession, great benefit will be derived from taking a warm bath •early in the morning, and putting on fresh undergarments every second morning or. if the disease be particularly infectious in its nature, it is best tto change the underclothing -every -morning. It xvill be fount!' that the warm bath, followed by brisk rubbing -of the whole hotly xvit-h a coarse Turkish towel or flesh brush, xvill refresh tho wearied body almost as much as sleep. At the same time keep up the appetite ami strength bv small doses of quinine, "two to live grains three times a day. and nourishing diet, with, perhaps, & little xvine and water occasionally.—Christian Union.

People Who Buy February Strawberries. The question, "Who supports the 14.000 New York brokers xvho live in luxury?" must suggest iiself to every one. Thoy cannot live on one another for long. A gang of sharpers cannot subsist without pigeons to pluck, and the same rule holds good with the enormous gambling rings knoxrn as the Stock. Cotton and Produce Exchanges. The speculative public unquestionably pays the piper. Our brokers arc notorious for high living and extravagance of every kind, and it may be taken for granted that at the loxvest figures their earnings xvill average $5,000 a year. Four thousand brokers, at £3,.000 aycac,,makes a total of $70,000,000, which represents the sum paid annually to New York brokers by country gamblers for the pleasure of gambling.

An experienced broker, who has large dealings xvith the South, explained the recent high price of cotton by the fact that in soiae Southern communities every mau, woman and child had been speculating in cotton. In the West the samo thing is true of grain. People too poor to lose more than $o at a time club together and divide the profits or share loss, generallj* the latter. These are tbe people who enable the New York brokers to buy February strawberries. Sun Francisco Bulletin.

A letter to the Philadelphia Bulletin gives an interesting description of the deposit of anthracite coal in Colorado. Outside of Pennsylvania this is the only deposit of anthracite discovered in the Lnited States. The Colorado anthracite is in Gunnison county. It consists of two large veins, which arc so situated as to be worked at a minimum cost. So far as the surveys have been poshed, the deposit is found to be of puch extent as to warrant the belief that the region west of the Mississippi will draw a good part of its hard coal from the Colorado mines. The coal is said to be quite pure, with but a small per cent, of sulphur. It barns with but little ash ana greatly resembles some of the best varieties mined in Pennsylvania. Tbe chief mining point at present is Crested Butte.

Hair Vigor,

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.

It is a most r.groeablodressing, which is at oncc harmless and effectual, for preserving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep bkiok, as may bo desired. By Its use thin hair is thickcned, and baldivess often though not. always cured. It cheeks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands arc not decayed while to brashv, weak, or otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality and strength, and renders it pliable.

Tho Yioon cleanses the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff and, by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible.

As a Dressing for Ladies' Rr.ir The Vicion is incomparable. 11 is colorless, contains neither oil nor (lye, r.:ul will not soil white cambric. It inrmrts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence.
