ii CHAPTER X. A COQCETTH'IJ TOOL. "What did I say laat November? Ay,

I ~wbat was the hot oath I took in that proud old house on yon knob? These young flowers and yonder birds recall it so vividly that I hate myself when I think of it. Where is he now? Where? -Since that inad night, when with acurse he left the Knob, not a word has coine from him but I am here—the child of the cabin still, not the mistress of the mansion. She—ah! Alta, my girl, if have not won him, I have crushed you!

I said I would do this, and I have Ke my word but I am not cast down •despair such hearts as mine are never broken. I may iniss the fruition of my .hopes a few weeks, or a few month* at the farthem but something tells me that he will yet come back for me to complete my conquest, or, failing in that, if 1 fail

at all,

When Roxy ceased speaking, she continued at the window until a footstep outside attracted her attention. "It is not father, for he said be would not come back before ten," she ejaculated, moving to the door. "It can not be Cecil—no! he does not come hero since

She paused abruptly for there were knuckles at the door. Roxy was there in a moment. "So am Indebted to you for a visit, Jack?" she said, apparently recognising tho well-built and rather handsome young man who stood on the step. ••Yes, Roxy," was the answer. "\ou will pardon my Intrusion, I hope but the evening was hanging so heavily on my hands "No heavier on yours than mine, I wagor," was the quick Interruption, and Roxy showed her pearly teeth in a vivaclous smile that seemed to please the young man. "Really, Jack, 1 have been wishing for a visitor, and," with a light laugh, "RIII quite willing to put up with the first one sent by fortune,"

Although not invited inside save by Roxy drawing back, the young man stopped upon the threshold, aud half Idlv lesiied his body against the frame •of the door. "So inv visitor is a distant caller, after all," sakl Roxy, seeing his movement "Just as If there were no chairs In Mark mount's house." "Many thanks," heimswered, but res olutelv maintaining his position. "After all, I may have come too far!"

She did not answer, but dropped hei lustrous eyes to the table on which her fingers drummed, listlessly, as it were, and slightly blushed. lie never took his eyes from her but followed her every movement with look that was ful! of manly yearning. "Hoxy," he said at last, with an etfbrt that cost him no little resolution, "Roxy, do vou know what brought me here tonight*" "How should I, Jack?" "Oh, I had a belter opinion of memory than that!" ho said, with a half-scornful smile, thnt actually made Roxy wince. "Last fall—I can not forget the day—It was the thirteenth of November, and vou were at Cedar Knob. Why, I can repeat everv word we said, and describe vour every* gesture. Roxy Blount, you stand there as if you had forgotten that time. Ah, woman is very forgetful, when—when she wants to lie!"

Roxy Ufbunt's eves showed signs of •resentment, but she did not answer him. "Now." bo continued, almost suddenly, "I nave come lor a tiual answer, .ftoxy, I was to have it last Christmas, but I was sick then, and did not get lt» Now it is April, and 1 am here."

He looked into tho face which, bold as she was, she was afraid to lift to his During all hi* speaking he had not stirred, and when no finished, he still leaning against the door-frame, with his arms folded upon his breast. "You've had along time to consider," he said "lew women are humored so long but I love you, Roxy Mount, and If yon marry me I'll almost swear that you will never regret the time."

It was a homelv sr^h, but the young •man's looks told he meant every •word of It.

What would Roxy say to that? "Jack." she said at last, "I blame myself for not telling yon lou we women are apt to trifle—to i—: evil days, aa It were. I shall ever upbraid myself for not answering you that very night." "So yon had your mind made up then, and ret you pot me off, Roxy," he said, bitterly. «fo oa!" "No not that,

to ruin—ruin! For three succes

sive nights 1 saw him in my dreams -once at the altar with that white-faced penitent, who thinks thai, after all my planning, he will come back to make her his wife. Ills wife? Alta Morril, between you and that altar is an arm that has sworn nat to spare!"

As the reader has evidently suspected, the speaker was Koxy Blount. She stood at the window of her cabin home, changed but little«lnce the nights wbou the wild November winds whistled dolefully around it.

It was not November now. The turbulent fall had patned away, the snows of winter had melted on the mountains, and once more the suuw of spring were budding the trees.

Hoxy was alone. The shadows of evening were deepening down the valley that stretched from the cabin, and Roxy could no longer see tho foot-log where she had encountered Cecil (i ray bar, soon after Lenox Espray's attempted murder.

There was air (ntetiw yearning for triumph In RoxyV tone. She had not relinquished her deter mlnatlon of winning tho love of Lenox To jo this she must tlrst destroy his affection for Alta Morril.

If she bad not succeeded in the latter plan, she had at least wronchcd them apart, and he had not been heard from since that last night of passion at the Knob.

Jack but then I thought

tbst "That I would do lit some handsomer man didn't come between us, eh, Roxy Blount?" •You are cruel!" "My «v c^-mSS before me. Win* •ere vou '"-re for? You startout'ttt say "something. I oame hereto hew it go oaf

taineer's child, who stood before him like a beautiful statute of aroused passion. he quavered, for the arrow had reacned its target. "That will do," he said '•your answer will not admit of two interpretations. Roxy Blount, the months that I have waited have wrought a change. I have cut looee from associations that were ruining me, and all for you. I have worked, studied and planned that I might deserve you."

He paused ft moment, as If for breath. •Then I have not lived in vain," she mid. sarcastically.

He raised his eyes till they met hers. "Roxy, you are breaking the last link,' he said, slowly and threateningly.

She caught his latent meaning at a

^r„c you propose to threaten me—I see it in your eyes, Jack—I break the last link, and cast it at your feet."

The demeanor of the cabin girl, added to tho gesture that accompanied her words, made him recoil as if a rattlesnake had appeared suddenly before him but the next moment he came forward again, and with his eyes rivited upon her, said: "Roxy Blount, I've been a fool—a coquette's fool at that!" he cried. "You never thought of me more than a tool to further your plans. I see all now your plans stand before me like letters on a blackboard. When I wrote that lying letter, at your dictation, and secreted it in the little box in the pine tree bv the golden gate, I was so blinded by infatuation for you, that I mistrusted nothing but now, ay, before to-day, I see ail. You have never thought of me for one moment, more than how you might use me In your scheming. Yesterday I was dreaming to-day I am awake. Well, go on, Roxy weave the web that will, in the end, be broken, utterly destroyed. I'm going to have a hand in the finale. I can break the spell of your infamous lie. I can bring thein together again, and send you shuddering from the«cene of your infamy and I'm going to do this. Here, Roxy Blount, in the doorway of your home, I swear that you shall not gain the ends for which you have plotted! You've seen fit to bring me to your feet, but to use me for your selfish gratification. By the fires of Tartarus, I'll make you reap the whirlwind! She ahull yot become his wife, and you—you —why, I'll strip your lying heart bare to the gaze of the man you pretend to loyef"

He brought his clinched hand down with vehemence upon the table at which pale-faced Roxy stood, aud then, with the glitter of vengeance in his eyes, strode toward the step. "Roxy, I'm going toeto ail thk. f,ii "Jack! Jack!

He paused with a faint smile for her consternation. "Jack, you do not mean to crush me thus?" she said, half pleadingly. "I mean to do so, jilt!" J.i "Will nothing,aayajnftT',. "Yes."' '.T I "What?" -j "Become my wife."« I

She almost recoiled from his side. -j "Jack "Enough! vou are going to equivocate again," he cried, interruptlngly. "You must abide bv the consequences. Roxy, he

Isn't lost to all the world. Ah, my girl, he Is nearer than you think—nearer than you think, I say. Ha! do my words make you start?"

She had started violently, and was throwing a look of astonishment into his face. "No!" He put out bis hand to keep her off. "I will not tell you but in two days I can have him here to make up with her and to punish the wrecker of his life. Now, good-night."

Jack Grumble sprang nimbly back he cleared tho threshold with a bound. "Jack, one moment "The spell is broken," came the reply. "Roxy, if you can face him, you have more nerve than the average woman. Ho'll be at the Knob before the week's out."

He turned his back upon her, and walked away humming a song that galled h«r sorely. "Go!" she hissed as his figure went down through the shadows, "I am not outwitted yet, Jack Grumble but I see that I must lesort to desperate measures. I have sworn to win, and win I shall!"

As for Jack, be walked raoidly till he came to tho foot-log, when he turned and faced the path he had traversed.

There was madness in bis eyes still. After looking toward the cabin for a

minute

he burst suddenly into a bitter

laugh that contained a world of meaning aud then turned and crossed the creek.

CHAPTER XI. A OKATH TRAP.

"I'll go up and see how the land lies while the thing is fresh in my mind," Jsck Grumble said, halting suddenly a tew yards beyond the foot log. "I might as well begin my work of vengeance at once. 1 can go back by the swinging bridge, for inanv's the time I've crossed it darker night* than this. That girl has stirrod mv very ua ture she's made me hate myself. Now I wouldn't marry her fur ail the gold in the world, I left the Brethren for her for her I've been trying to be an honest man but now—curse you, Roxy Blount! may I never love another woman while I live.

The speaker recrossed the creek, and turning to the left walked rapid" through the woods till he struck the road, which' ascended gradually, ran past Cedar Knob.

His path took him to the gate that opened upon the walk bordered by tail Virginia pines and spruce but here Jack paused, and after a few minutes of mental debate went around to the garden, which he entered more like a marauder than a visitor.

May be I will not want to be aeen," he said to himself, as he kept his body in the shadows that prevailed.

Pressing on, be soon came In sight of the stately old mansion that loomed np between aim and the starlit sky.

Jack stopped for a moment and gased upon It, then went on until he round himself near the westertnost wing. "I want to see Alta and no one else," he murmured. "Last fail she occupied the chamber that looks out upon yon ny. The vlnee are lust beginning revive they're getting their first leaven, so I guess they will not rattle much if I try to c!fmb up."

The young mat' ad halted at the foot of the vines which, strong numerous, had cMmHI to the balcony before Alta Morr amber.

It was a man's voice. "What! can It be that he holds secret meetings with her?" exdaiped Jack. "I tancy that if she knew a thing or two she'd turn from him and forbid him the liberty she seems to have accorded him. Hark! what is he saying?"

The voice told Jack Grumble that a man was on the baloony above with Alta Morril.

Therefore, he listened to the sounds that came down. "Alta Morril, I have thrown at your feet the heart—the undivided heart of Cecil Graybar! I have kept nothing back —nothing, so witness heaven!' "Nothing? are you sure of that air. Graybar?" said Jack, mysteriously. 1 think that I could supply some incidents which you have forgotten.

Silence was the reply to the

He oould now see the outlines of two figures on the balcony above. Alto Morril stood before Cecil Graybar with drooping head. He standing erect

{ng

iroudly before her, seemed to be holdone of her hands.

4?Weli,"

he said with a sigh, "I shall

go away without an answer. can oiler no more than I have given. Have you not waited for him till hope itself has

rsrished?

He insulted you by leaving,

never wrote that letter which he found in the box in the tree. He believed it without hearing your denial perhaps be wanted a ore text. He had traveled in the south there are beautiful women there but none so fair ss you. The Esprays must be rich he has found an heiress somewhere, and as truly as 1 stand here he has but gone to one who infatuated him." "There!" she said gently. "You may wrong him!" "Heaven forbid," was the answer. "I do not want to wrong any man, nor pain a woman's heart but you have waited till deferred hope has sickened the heart. I did not intrude my love while I thought be loved you. Though it was consuming me, I waited—waited until to-night.- I can take you to a home blessed with comforts not known in this gloomy pile, where the words of an old man mate everything dreary. Be mine, Alta Morril, I offer a love that lies can never break. Forget the faithless, and let him triumph over southern hearts and southern gold."

Jack Grumble held his breath while these Words fell in passionate accents from Cecil Graybar's tongue. Then in his eagerness he fairly sprang forward, for ha waatai to hear the woeaan aarswer.

What would she say? Would she promise to become his wife? *. "I am not strong enough to-night to answer you," fell in low, half frightened tones from Alta's lips. Although He never asked me to become his wif% I gave him the first love of my heart. If he had listened to me, he might be h$re to-night." "If he had believed," said Cecil Graybar. "Yes, if he had believed." "Why, then, has he not writteirto his father? He goes away with no farewell for anyone mad, be rushes off leaving you fainting in the library, and hurries, as I believe, to the woman he left in the south. So all my wooing has been in vain? Woman clings to the faitbl and rejects the love that lives. It ever thus." $

She raised her eyes to him they in tears. "Sir, do not catechise me thus! said. "My whole life has been drei transient bliss! the awakening terrible." "Let the love I offer compensa for the bearing of that awakenin cried. "Ah! you will not drive Alta: you will make me hapuy. yet live In your presence the love lived in secret."

There was a reply which the liate below could not catch, but he saw Cepd Graybar snatch a hasty kiss froni ti girls white forehead ana turn away "Good-night, my love Alta!" he Said as he swung his body over the railing of the balcony, and the next minute he was coming down the vines. "By my life! the scoundrel has mined the victory!" said Jack Grumble, clinching his hands. "But he hasn't fought fairly his strategy i« a strategy of infatny. If ho finally wins, Roxy Blount will'gain here ids, und I will fail. Shall I? Not while my name is Jack Grumble! I won't climb the vines to-night. I'm off for Richmond! There I'll ferret A$w out, and tell hhn all. By the heat of Tartarus! there'll be a turning of tables when I get fairly to work."

Cecil Graybar was not molested as he moved off. Jack Grumble moved nearer to the body of the tree, and saw him pass by.

Once he turned and threw a look of triumph toward the balcony, but it was tenantless, and the door was shut.

After the sounds of footsteps bad ceased to salute his ears, Jack left his statiou.

He now walked like a man that bad some great duty to perform, and he walkeai rapidly, too. "He was there last week, he said to himself "but wherever he is I will find him. The Esprays are proud and passionate, and hn may give hie hiit fist for my story: but if I can get it into his ear I will be willing to be knocked down!"

On. on went Jack Grumble through the Virginia woods. When he paused it was at one end of a foot-log which seemed to span a chasm whose bottom was obscured by the darkness.

Par down In the gloom a creek rushed madly on it roared like a torrent. The foot-log was narrow, but a friend

ly railing ran along one side, and Jack grasped it as he stepped forward. The structure oecilated, but the young man, nothing daunted, went on. He had crossed it on nights equally as dark as this why should he fear it now? especially when he was a man with a mis elon!

Jack Grumble reached the middle of the chasm to be startled by a sound like the parting of timber partly sawed through. "Heavens!" he cried, steadying himself as his face grew white. "I've been caught in a death-trap! There's no railing beyond me. Some fiend has sawed it in two, and the log—be has fixed It toot Can I cross? Can't I leap forward and land on the log again before it breaks? I can—I must! Mr motto Is •forward* now. I cannot go back!"

Jack Grumble braced himself for the hazardous leap, but at that moment the bridge creaked wildly and appeared to sink in the center. "Hw goes! Heaven help me!** he ri«d, h-it the next instant the loud shriek of

Don't Sit oa Tonr Foot.

Another deplorable habit, and one oommoa to the most refined and fastidftxts women, is the practice of sitting on their foot. Once they acquire this trick it becomes second nature, and they develop into such experts that they find but little trouble in arranging for themselves this, to them, most comfortable perch, even when in the most public places. With a cunning twist of the body and a little side switch of their skirts they ean accomplish the feat under the uose of an ardent admirer without in any way arousing his suspicions. It is not graceful, but if the young woman is a «n«ll specimen of humanity she curls herself up in a kittenish sort of away and with a little air of such perfect content that one has not the hardness of heart to deliver her a lecture upon the subject. This habit once fixed is apt to follow one down to old ago. I met not long ago a charmingly refined old lady who laughingly told me that she never been able to break herself of this habit, and really rite could perform the feat of sitting on her foot with all the ease of a girl of 10.

Sometimes the consequences are rather disastrous. Not, perhapa, &« much so now as in the days of hoop skirts, when results most embarrassing were apt to ensue. A funny story was told me the other day by a lady friend who became the victim of her own folly. "It was," she said, "in the days when the small steel skirt was an important part of woman's attire that I took my seat in a horse car, and, without a moment's thought, deftly curled up one foot beneath ma When I arrived at my destination 1 signaled the conductor to stop the car and attempted to rise, but found that my foot bad become entangled in one of the steels of the wretched skirt. What to do 1 did not know, but finally, finding that I was becoming a target for all the eyes in the car, I concluded to ride on, not daring to make a second move until I reached the stables. I am sure," she added, "that from that day to this I have never attempted to sit on my foot."—Philadelphia Inquirer.

He found the red cotton goods with which the collars and cuffs were lined saturated with a poisotiTiis red dye, which came off whenever brought in contact with perspiring skin.

Another woman of Dr. Weyl's acquaintance poisoned herskhrby wearing bhre stockings which she herself knit. The first day she wore the stockings her feet began to swell, the sejbond day the inflammation extendeid to the calf, and the third day to the knee.

Keeping.

a Fifrnchman studying English, as to an glishman studying French, nothing is so hard to acquire perfectly as the idiom—the very partljof the language which comes most natural t| a native. The difficulties of our own tongue In this respect are illustrated by tho follo^ng dialogue between a foreigner and his English teacher: "When you give a thing," asked the foreignir, "you cannot keep it, too, can your "Certainly not."

Vliut when an honest man gives you his vnird always keeps It, doesn't hef "Certainly." "But when he gives his word bow does ho keep itf Does he take it backT1 "Certainly not. When an honest man gives his wort I he never takes it back." "But if he keeps it he does not give it." "Oh yes, he does." "Then if he gives it he doesn't keep it" "Why, certainly be does. Because, if he doesnt keep bis word, he is no longer an honest man." "Oh, I begin to seel Having given his word, and never taken it back, he keeps it all tbewhilef" "Certainly."

Skin Tnra'ulM,

tU£

For those having thick, oily skins, broken by pimples and comedones, or black headed worms, there is no alternative but a careful diet, if they would have it grow smooth and foe grained. But little butter must be eaten, no fat meat, and the food oonstst for the most part of vegetables and fruit. A tablespoon ful of sulphur taken every other morning for a week, then (Knitted three mornings and taken again, will clear the complexion in aooupleof months, but will probably make the blade specks look more numerous for a week or two. A mixture of powdered brimstone or sulphur In diluted glycerine, rubbed on at night, with the other treatment, will soon cause them to disappear. Wash off carefully in the morning with soap and water In which there is a little ammonia. After this, if the face seems oily, wash it at nigbt with spirits of camphor reduced with half as much gly ceiiae and a few drops of ammonia

In the morning bathe the face as before in water with ammonia In it, and after wiping it carefully sponge it over with camphor and water,and In a short time the fairneaof your face will delight you acd curprlseyour friend*—Dr. Harwood la Bt. Lools Maga Etna.

The Secret of Life.

Baoon says: "Discern of the coming on of years, and think not to do the same things •till, for age will not be defied." Half the secret of Ufa, we are persuaded, is to know when we are grown old and it is the half most hardly learned. It is* more hardly learned, moreover, In the matter of exercise than in the matter of diet.

Ther3 is no advice so commonly given to the ailing man of middle age as the advice to take more exercise, and there is perhaps none which lead* him into so many pitfalls. This particularly the case with the brain workers. The man who labors his brain must spare his body. He cannot burn the candle at both ends, and the attempt to do so will almost inevitably result in hi* lighting it in the middle to boot the waste of tissue will be so great that he will be tempted to repair it by the use of a too generous diet.

Most men who use their brains much soon iearu for themselves that the sense of physical exaltation, die' glow of exuberant health which comes from a body strung to its full powers by continuous and severe exercise is not favorable to study. The exercise such men need is the exercise that rests, not that which tires. They need to wash their brains with tho fresh air of heaven, to bring into gentle play the muscles that have been lying idle while the head worked.

Nor is itouly to this class of laboring humanity that the advice to take exercise needs reservations. The time of violent delights soon passes, and the effort to protract it beyond its natural span is as dangerous as it is ridiculous. Some men, through nature or the accident of fortune, will of course be able to keep touch of it longer than others but when ooce the touch has been lost the struggle to regain it can add but sorrow to the labor. Of this our doctor makes a cardinal point but pertinent as his warning may be to the old, for whom indeed he has primarily compounded his elixir vitae, it is yet more pertinent to men of middle age, and probably it is more necessary. It is in the latter period that most of the mischief is done. The old are commonly resigned to their lot but few men will consent without a struggle to own that they are no longer young.—Maomillan's Magazine.
