CKSAUK OT.lVA."

This epistle finished and written in the crabbed disguised penmanship it was part of my business to affect. I folded. Healed and addressed it, and summoning Vlnceuzo, bade him post It immediately. As joon as ho had gone oti this errand I safe down to iny as yet un tasted breakfast and made som jfV'H-t •trstmfr *Butf^»y"'tntTiTguU jvere tlve for appetite—l counted on my fittilers tho days—there wore four, only four, between me and —what? One thing was certain—I must see my wife, or, rather, I should sav my betrothed—I must see her that very day. I then began to consider how my courtship had progressed since that eveninsr when she declared she loved me. 1 had seen her frequently, though not daily her behavior hail been by turns affectionate, adoring, timid, gracious, and once or twice passionately levin", though the latter impulse in her 1 had always coldly checked. For, though I could bear a great deal, any outburst of sham sentimvnt on her part sickened and filled mo with such utter loathing that often when she was more than usually tender I dreaded lest my pent-up wrath should break loose and impel me to kill her swiftly aud suddenly, as ono crushes the head of a polsouous adder—an all-too-merciful death for such as she. I preferred tj woo her by gifts alone—and her hands were always ready to take whatever I or others ehoso to offer her. From a rare jowel to a common flower sho never refused anything—her strongest passions were vanity and avarice. Sparkilug gems from the pilfered store of Cartnolo Nerl, —trinkets which 1 had especially dosigned for her,—lace, rich embroideries, bouquets of hot-house blossoms, gilded boxes of costly sweets—nothing came amiss to her—she accepted all with a certain covetous glee which she was at no pains to hide from mo—nay. she made it ra her evident that she expected such things as her right.

with me,—she tempted me, and 1 did eat!" I lost no time that day in going to the Villa Uomaui. I drove there In ov carriage. taking with me the usual ioveotrerlug in the shape of a large gilded osier-basket full of white violets. Their delicious odour reminded me of that May morning when Stelia was born,—aud then quickly there flashed into my. mind the words spoken byti uidoFerrari at the time. How mysterious they had seemed to me then, how clear their meaning now! On arriving at the Villa I found my fiancie iu her own boudoir, attired in morning deshabille, if a trailing robe of White cashmere trimmed with Mechliu lace and swansdown can be considered deshabille. Her rich hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and she was seated in a velvet easy chair before a small sparkling wood fire reading. Her attitude was one of luxurious ease and grace, but she sprang up, as soon as her maid announced me, and came forward with her usual charming air of welcome, in which there was something imperial, as of a sovereign who receives a subject 1 prepresented tho flowers I had brought, with a few words of studied aud formal compliment, uttered for the benefit of the servant who lingered in the room, then I added in a lower tone— "I have news of importance—can I speak to you privately?"

She smiled assent, and motioning me by a graceful gesture of her hand to take a seat, she at once dismissed her maid. As soon as the door had closed, behind the girl, I spoke at once and tc^ the point, scarcely waiting till my wifo. resumed her easy-chair before the lire."! "I have had a letter from Signor Ferrari." &he started slightly but said nothing, she merely bowed her head and raised her delicately-arched cyebrown with a look of Inquiry 4s of one who should say, "Indeed! in what way does thfs concern me?" I watched her narrowly, and then continued. "He is coming back in two or three days—he says he is sure." and here I smiled, "that you will be delighted to see him."

This time she half rose from her seat, her lips moved as though she would speak, but she remained silent,and sinking back again among her violet velvetcushions, she grow very pale. .** "If," I wont on, "you have any rqi,V son to think that this young man m^ make himself disagreeable to you whf he knows of your engagement to me, -,, of disappointed ambition, conceit,: self-interest (for of course you n»i encouraged him), I should advise yoj go on a visit to some friends for days, till his irritation shall have what passed. What say you to plan?"

She appeared to meditate foi moments,—then raising her lovel with a wistful and submissive look replied, "It shall be as you wish, Cesarel nor Ferrari is certainly rash and h4 tempered, he might be presumptuotll enough to but you do nof think of yourself In the mattorl Surely you also are In danger of being.insulted by him when he knows all?" "I shall boon my guard!" I said quickly.

Though this last remark was it? dressed to me almost as a question, I 1 it, pass without response. I reverted to" my original theme. "What think you, then?" I said. "Will you remain here or will you vbsenl yourself for a few days?"

She rose from her chair and approachme. knelt down at my side, clasp'.na hor two little hands round my am"With your permission," she returned softly. "I will go to tho Convent where 1 was educated. It is some eight or ten miles distant from here, and I think" (here she counterfeited the most wonderful expression of ingenuous sweetness and piety)—"I think I should like to make a 'retreat' that is, devote some tinge solely to the duties of religion before I enter upon a second marriage. Tho dear mats would be so fflad to see me.— ami 1 am sure you will not object? will be a good preparation for my future."

I seized her caressing hands and held hem hard, while I looked upon her Kneeling there like the white-robed figure of a praving saint. "it will indeed!" 1 said in a harsh voice. "The best of all pos-

"\h you do not know him!" she murmured, lightly kissing my hands that still held hers. 'I fear he will give you a great deal of trouble. "I shall, at any rate, know how to silence him," I said, releasing her as I spoke, and watching her as she rose from her kneeling position and stood before me. supple and delicate as a white iris swaying in the wind. "You never gave him reason to hope, therefore he has no cause of complaint." "True!" she replied readily, with an untroubled smile. "But I am such a nervous creature! I am always imagining evils that never happen! And now, Cesare, when do you wish me to go to the Convent?"

I shrugged my shoulders wltli fiu air of Indifference. "Your submission to my will, rnia belle," I said coldly, "is altogether charming, and flatters me much, but I am not your master—not yet! Pray choose your own time, and suit your departure to your own pleasure." "Then," she replied with an air of decision, "I will go today. The sooner the better—for some instinct tells me that Guido will play us a trick and return before we expect him. Yes-^I will go today."

THE INSTINCTS OF TREES.

[tin Kinds That Beach Ont After the Sunlight. vonc has observed how certain trees in a forest reach upward .tward for the sunlight. They xist without it, and amid tho competitors by which they ounded they have had a hard to obtain the life-giving beams, inds of trees which do not rech sunshine often envelop and thcr those which require more are compelled to run up their great height in order that of leaves may be exposed to

.tight. 1-equcntly such trees resemble tall umns when viewed from the aisles fthe forest below, as no branches ap.r upon their trunks until they have ained the top of the surrounding foliage.

But if one would use his eyes to the best advantage it is not enough to observe merely that some trees reach after the light more eagerly than others do. The difference in the kinds of trees that behave thus should be noted.

Poplars, walnuts, hickories, willows, birches, pines and locusts thirst for the sunlight, and cannot thrive unless they have plenty of it. Yews, beeches and spruces thrive in the shade.

The reader would find a most interesting study in noting the preferences shown by different trees in this respect. Their interest in following the dictates which nature has given them sometimes appears almost as surprising as that exhibited by animals.

ROBBING THE GOATS.

A Schemc for Rollins Down Tin Can* for the Solder.

There is little in this world that the ingenuity of man cannot turn to account.

In South Boston the other day a Globe reporter's attention was called to a man upon the salt mamh who was busy feeding a portable furnace with fuel, while around him were thousands of old tin

"What are yon doing?" asked the reporter. "Boiling cans," replied the operator. Aa be spoke be threw a ladle full of erode petroleum, a barrel of which was placed near by, into the huge pot it biased up, sending dense volumes of black smoke circling aeawani crrer the •alt marsh.

T!» No Pocket Mystery

Why do not women wear pockets? John Hamilton Reynolds, Keats' friend, knew a lady who wore pockets she could carry books in, but that was seventy years ago. The result of this deficiency is that woman keeps her cards, money and other matters in a purse which she carries about in her hand. Where the public suffers is in omnibuses and at ticket offices. Here, while a crowd murmurs, woman wastes the golden honr by dipping, like the swallow, into the many compartments of her purse, where she finds various matters of personal interest, probably, but never the proper change.

They say that women would fam wear the distinctively male attire. Ah, that she would! Then she would have her silver in one pocket and her pence in the other, all handy. That the kindness of the sex Is shown by their prolonged flirtations through the window with the ticket clerks we all admit. That is a dull life of the ticket clerk's, and woman entertains him, as the daughters of Ocean comforted Prometheus. But a hurried and selfish public is apt to be irritated while it waits the close of the railway idyl, the Oaristys of, the station.—Andrew Lang tn London Illustrated News.

How to Use Discarded Long Gloves. If the woman has a dark blue or scarlet wool dress or corsage, let her cut the black kid into a collar and band or tab, the latter about an inch and a half wide, turned iu at the end, and forming a point. This tab let her set from the collar to the middle of the bust downward make full sleeves from the shoulder of material, and finish them from elbow to wrist with kid, either buttoning these long cuffs with two or three buttons and loops, or after having eyelet holes punched in them, lacing them on the outside of the sleeve, the lace tied in tagged bows, while a Swiss corselet belt, cut out of cardboard or very stiff canvas, covered with kid, and laced down the middle, finishes a fin de siecle harness that is quite ultra modern for tennis or boating, and quite original.

If more time can be lavished a narrowbeading of jet or steel may be outlined. If it is the stockinglike portion of suede gloves about which there is trouble, try the same device on a navy blue blouse, and it won't look any worse for its tan adornments.—New York Recorder.

Washing, cooking, cleaning, dressmaking, darning, patching, millinery, the keeping of accounts and nursing comprise the curriculum, and the company guarantees to turn out ha finished wife in twenty weeks. is unfortunate that as yet no way has been devised to teach the wife elect by practical experience how to make and ad-
