Lady Laura Wpynyard walked one morning into the grounds in search of primroses, she being very fond of the z,retty, simple flower; and Angela folwed her. “Mamma.” she said, presently, “how strange it is that you and I have never 4 talked about money matters!” | ( Lady Laura smiled.. “I do not think it strange, Angel,” she replied. It is not an attractive subject; : and we have never had any reason for mentioning it."” “Was my father’s will at all an extraordinary one?" she asked. “Not so much extraordinary, I think, as ¥ncomplete,” answered her ladyship. “In what way incomplete, mamma?" Angela asked. - Then her mother told her of making her will in the Captain’s favor. As Angela listened, the truth gradually dawned upon her. “My death, then,” she said, slowly, ®would be his gain?” “Certainiy. But then it is very improbable that you will die first.” The very blcod seemed to curdle in thé ‘ girl's veins, for she knew how often she had been near death, and now she guessed the reason. “Then it stands in this way, mamma—if I die before you, and you die before Captain Wynyard, the whole of my father’s property falls into that man’s hands?” “That is it, Angel.” ; “Mamma,” said Angela, solemnly, “he must wish us both dead.” | “Oh, no, my dear! He is not so bad "' o-as that.” “He does not love us, he does not care for us!” the girl ecried, passionately. “Why should he not wish us both dead?” “That would be terrible,” said Lady Taura. “Who drew up that will for you, mami, ma !’ asked Angela. “Your father's lawyer, Mr. Sansome,” ~ was the reply. “He ought to have been ashamed of himself!” cried Angela, indignantly. “My dear,” answered Lady Laura, “he was, and he tried all that was possible ‘o dissuade me from making it. He was gery angry. indeed, and prophesied all inds of evil; but the Captain persuaded me.”’ “It must be destroyed, and you must make "another, mamma. I shall never rest until it is done.” “It shall be dona Angel; but I must wait until we go up to town. I dare not summon Mr. Sansome here.” And, having arrived at this decision, T.ady Laura and her daughter left the woods and returned homeward. A Dblack threatening cloud seemed to have fallen over Angela Rooden's life. For some 'time she could not recover from the effect of the information her mother had imparted to her. Her accidents were all plain enough now. If she had but known about the will, surely she wouald have realized the danger to which she was exposed! She shuddered when she remembered how near death she had been—so near that in each case there had been only a space of two or three minutes between herself and eternity. She spoke about it to her faithful old nurse, Jane Felspar, from whom she had no secrets. “I know,” said Jane, who had had her own suspicions and now found them verified by what she heard, “what would be best if it could be managed; and it would save all exposure and everything disagreeable.” <7 “What is it?” asked Angela, anxious to hear, for she had implicit faith in the wisdom of her oid nurse. ‘“You must leave home at once, and not let the Captain or my lady know where iyou are until the will is canceled and the new one made."” “That would be excellent,” sighed Angela. “l shall be glad to leave him; but T shall be wretehed at deserting my mother,” s ¢ i s il “I have thought of a plan which is perfectly safe. miss, if you will earry it out.” “I will do so, Jane,” she replied, “for every hour that passes brings me great anxiety.” “I have a cousin named Mary Bowen, who has been for more than thirty years housekeeper at Brantome Hall. It is a beautiful place, situated on the Wentish coast, and just now the family are away, and she has the whole Hall to herself.” . “Who are the family 7’ asked Angela. “Phe Arieighs. The late Earl died some time since, but the Countess is living. She has two children, the young Earl and a daughter, Lady Maud Arleigh. They are all away in Italy now. They left home more than a year ago, and are not expected back until next year. My cousin §s left in entire charge of the Hall, and you could find no safer hiding-place than that.” “You are very kind to suggest such a thing, Jane. It seems an excellent plan,” said Angela. “Will your cousin consent to receive me.” “Yes, miss, and be pleased. I should advise you, however, to take a new name, g 0 that there may be no possibility of tracing you.” <[ shall not like it, but I will do it,” she gaid. “Oh, Jane, to think that I should have to steal away from my home and assume another name! I will take my - dear father's name, and pass as ‘Miss Charles.” But what witl your cousin say or think?” ; “I shall not tell her who you are, miss.

otk et G Sh AR e S ! That would never do; it v ould not be safe. You are hiding because your life is /| in danger, and we must take every precaution to keep your whereabouts a secret. I will write to my cousin to-day, and tell her that a very dear friend of mine—a Miss Charles—wants a home for 1 a few weeks, and that I should be most grateful if she could receive her as a visitor just for a short time, while the family are away. She will not only be willing, but pleased to do it.” CHAPTER XV. On Thursday evening Angela found on her toilet table a message from Jane Felspar, and knew that the way lay straight before her, that early the next morning she must leave the dear old home, which was no longer a place of safety for her. She resolved to spend the few remaining hours with her mother; and, on repairing to her room, she found the unhappy lady weeping most bitterly. She would not tell Angela why, except that there had been some little unpleasantness with the Captain. “I am sure you have been speaking to him of Gladys Rane, mamma,” declared | Angela; ‘“nothing else ever causes you such grief as this.” “Never mind, Aungel. I repent most bitterly of the step 1 took. Oh, my darling, if I had but listened to you! My iife is one long martyrdom. Angel, I have never confessed it before, but, oh, how I long to be free! I am tired of suffering, and | the time has come when I desire to be free, to be away from him, to cease to suffer at his hands. I want to be where every day will not bring fresh torture. I long for peace and rest.” With kindly words Angela soothed her unhappy mother. “The time of rest will come,” she said. “All sorrows end, mamma, just as all darkness ends, and the dawn comes at last. Mamma, you will keep your promise to me—you will send for Mr. Sansome as soon as yon can, and have that unfortunate will canceled.” “I will; I shall not forget; I am anxious to do it.” If he had been kind to me, there | would have been some justice in your father's money coming to him; but as he | has been most eruel, ruined my life and broken my heart, it does not seem just.” , Friday morning broke ecalm and beautiful. April was drawing to a close; | there was a faint gleam of gold from the laburnum, a faint glimmer of purple from the lilac, and the hedges gave promise of a profusion of fragrant May. Captain Wynyard came down early, i and seemed very impatient for the nr-! rival of the letter-bag. His face was| sullen, his eves were troubled, and at times he was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he saw or heard nothing of what was passing around him. Ie looked miserable. 1t happened that no visitors were staying just then in the house, and the Captain had to bronkf.‘lstl alone, which aunoyed him, for he :\h»! horred solitude, his thoughts, when he l was by himself, being not at all pleasant | lom‘s. I.ady Laura never came down tnl i breakfast unless visitors required her | presence. l “Where is Miss Rooden?” the (‘n;.mml asked, angrily. i “*Miss Rooden is still in her room,” was } | the answer. i | The Captain seated himself at the table; | ; dark thoughts darkened his face, even :xsi | they shadowed his soul. They were | E cruel, terrible thoughts that could not ‘ | be put ifto words, and were all of An- | | gela. When he had finished his break- | fast he opened the post-bag, which had | { meanwhile arrived, and took out his let- | | ters and papers; and the reading of them ! lwhilcd away an hour. Just as he w:lsz going round to the stables to decide what | horses .should be taken out he heard , !quivk footsteps approaching. The noxrg moment the door was opened hastily, and | | Lady Laura entered the room, pale, | frightened, with tears in her eyes, mu’xE her hands trembling so that she could Ihm°dly hold the letter she carried. “Now what is the matter?”’ he said to himself. “There is going to be a scene.” But Lady Laura was not hysterical . A | great sorrow had fallen upon her, which ! in its very magnitude seemed to swallow ,up her own She was hastening to him, | ,l\\'h(-n she paused suddenly and wrung | her hands with a gesture of despair. ‘ .| “I was running to you in my trouble,” 1 | she cried, “but why should 1? You care ! for neither my troubles nor joys. You do l ,{nn{ love me: I am less than 11(‘»t'13ymg to i | you. Why should I come to you? | “Are vou in trouble, Laura?”’ he asked. i | “What is the matter? leep clear of sen- , | timent and reproach, and tell me.” i i “Angela has gone!” she moaned. | | “Gone?” he questioned, in a low, hoarse E » | voice. “This must be some stupid j(\st.§ » | Laura. What does it mean?” i 11 “Read that,” said her ladyship, pl:\c’ingi 3 i. an open letter in his hands. i »| The contents ran: ; -| “My Darling Mamma: Only lu-nwn; 1 | knows how full my heart is of desperate, | E'ui?tm' pain as I write this to you. _I am | 1 | going away from home for a time; 1 can- | | not tell you why or whither. I have very f L | strong and urgent reason for the step 1] ' | am taking, but it is one I cannot explain | t{ to you. Do not grieve for me; I shall be { safe and well. I shall be happy in evoryl 1 | respect, except in leaving you. It will .| seem to you that I arh acting strangely, f but I have no other resource. My heart f\\'ili be with you until I see your dear 1_!1';10:" again. I said good-by to you in& 1| my heart last night when I kissed you. | i1 .;':\y it again, praying heaven it may not | s | be long before I return to you.” ‘ s| The Captain’s face grew even more | - | chastly as he read the letter. He laid it | | down on the table, and, looking at hisl G | wife, asked: ;

“What does it mean? | “I do not know,” she answered. “That! is what I have come to ask you. Whatl does it mean? Where is my daughter gone? Have you quarreled with her? I | hope heaven will pardon me if I misjudge you, Vance; but I feel sure that you have | something to do with her going away."” “You were never more mistaken in your life,” he cried angrily. “I know no more about the cause of her departure than ’ you do. I have heard nothing to lead me to suspect that she contemplated such a i thing; and you cannot be more surprised than I am, or more astonished. What in the world has she done it for? What does it mean, Laura?’ he exclaimed; “you must know something about it.” ~ “The one great mystery to me is why ~she went, what drove her away from home.” B She looked at the Captain as she uttered the words, “what drove her away from home.” She noted his livid face; the great fear in his eyes, the tremblifig of his hands. « “Vance,” she cried, suddenly, “yofn are in a state of fear!” ; : “How ridiculous, Laura!” he retgrned, quickly. “But I confess lam stargled. I never dreamed of such a thing hippening." 4 After a brief pause the Captaig§esan i to rally. A faint show of color ¢ m!“ his lips and cheeks; the deadty™ passed. He had had time to . e whether Angela had gone in co ience of something she had discovered comcernfug him. e decided that it could ot be | so, for in that case she would have left some written record against him. . Lady Laura Wynyard had shown her husband one letter. There was another and more explicit one which she carefully hid from him. It ran thus: “Dearest Mamma: I know that my leaving you in this manner will be a great sorrow and a great surprise. I cannot tell you why I am going, but you know that you may most safely trust me. Remember this, that my return depends entirely on yourself. When that unfortunate will which the Captain persuaded you to make is destroyed, I will come back at once, but not until then. I have thought of many plans by which you ! could let me know when this takes place, | and the best, the safest, is by advertisement. I shall contrive to see the Times every day. When the will is destroyed send the following words for insertion in the advertisement sheet of the Times: ‘Return without fear; I have done what you wished." The heur in which I read those words 1 shall begin my journey home. D)o not let any one see this letter; and above all things, do not let the Captaia learn that I know about the will. I shall soon see you again, my beloved mother, and then I will explain all that now must seem like a cruel mystery to vyou. I'rom your loving child, H“ANGELA.” Lady Laura wondered even more when ghe read that note. What could it mean? What connection could there be between the will she had made and Angela's leaving home? I'ortunately for her, not the faintest suspicion of the truth oceurred to her.

The Coliseum game in Chicago was not won until the time keepers blew their whistles—the Athletic game was won at the beginning, and the Northwestern game was tied with but eight minutes to play. The Coliseum game was lost by poor generalship, the Athlethic game was lost because Boston does not know how to play, and the; Evanston game was tied because a skilled | man fell in the mud and the ball was| slicksand slippery with drizzle. , ' It was a day of surprises. The victors | in each of the contests were the losers of l the prophets. It was expected that Michigan would eat up the men from Chicago. ’ They earned the championship last year. | Their supporters did not make it a ques- | tion of success, but a matter of score. | The Athletic Club had reprimanded its best men for professionalism by dismis- | sal, taking upon the gridiron an eleven of | Tless than two weeks' work.

Deaperate Combat Takes Place in an Indiana Forest. A large drove of wild dogs, even more ferocious than hungry timber wolves, has been discovered near the town of Morristown, Ind., and the people in that vicinity are greatly frightened as a result. i It is probable that a grand hunt will soon ' be organized, in the hope of ridding the | country of the dogs, which occupied a big cave, or den, in the Hamilton woods, a E gloomy forest which has been avoided by - human beings for many years past, on account of the belief that it is haunted. . The discovery that the woods shelter a drove of wild dogs was made by John W. Sullivan and his son Charles, Andrew - Lamar and Matt Sullivan, while on :1| ; hunting trip. They tell a thrilling story -of their encounter with the beasts, and - Charles Sullivan is under the care of nl | surgeon, having been badly mangled by ' one of the animals. ' | The hunting party tracked the ferocious | | animals to their cave in a dense woods. | { While the party was debating the matter ; ‘and laying plans to capture the animals | | there came a rush from the den and ai | dog, greatly resembling a rat terrier, only | { larger and with a bushy tail and a head \ | something like that of a bulldog, darted | | past them with a snarl and darted in the | tangled underbrush. | Lamar and Charles Sullivan immediate- | 1y gave'chase, while the rest of the party | remained to guard the den and close the opening with brush and stones, so the . animals inside could not escape. In a few | minutes the report of a gun, some little | distance away, was heard by those whol i remained at the den, followed by tho! | howling of a dog and the screaming of | ' Lamar and young Sullivan. It was found | ; that the two had gotten quite close to the | | dog, when it had turned and :Ittzlckc~di { them. Then Lamar fired, severely wound- | ing the Dbeast. Just as the shot was | fired another dog dashed into sight and | made an attack upon young Sullivan. ‘ The boy was being badly bitten and ;S(‘l':ltk‘hcd by the infuriated animal, bat | Lamar was afraid to shoot for fear of ! hitting Sullivan instead of the dog.

Its | peculiar feature is the spiral approach at { the south end. On account of the great { height of the channel span of 380 feet—- | which is placed fifty-five feet above high- | water mark—it was necessary to have a { very leng approach in order to avoid a { steep grade. The town being so close to the river it would have been necessary to l&ruu a straight approach to such a distance as to spoil the looks of the business streets. In order to overcome this difficulty it was decided to make use of a corner lot Goxl2o sect, adjoining the foot of Sibley street, and to build thereon a spi- ' ral approach. i Beginning at the heart of the city the [nmn'oa('h starts with a rise of seven and j three-fourths feet to the 100, forming an

eees e e D ,earth grade banked betwecen massive rei taining walls 120 feet long. The spiral, built of steel, begins at the end of this drive and winds its way with a curve of sixty feet, with a grade of five feet to the 100, for a distance of 385 feet; then striking again a straight approach from the point where the spiral ends, there is a rise of six feet to the 100 for a distance of 130 feet, to the beginning of the channel span. This span is 380 feet long from center to center of end pins. Beyond is another 120-foot span; then twenty-one spans of thirty-three feet ~each, terminating with an approach of 172 feet, making a total of 970 feet. The largest span of 380 feet is built to carry 256 tons, besides its own weight, and the smaller span in proportion. The iron work of the north approach rests on wellconstructed masonry pedestals, which have a concrete footing averaging nearly I two feet thick and six feet square. Foundations of the large river pier, carrying 1380 and 120 foot spans, were laid by means of a caisson, the river being at a very low stage. On the north side of the river all the masonry was placed on solid rock and the iron work tied to the rock by heavy anchor bolts. The joists which carry the oak floor and sidewalks are of first-class white pine; later they may be { replaced by steel joists if desired. In the [ large span the entire fioor is steel, except ! the planking which forms the surface. | In the surface there are 1.000 cubie ;f\-m-(}:: of stone masonry, 20,000 feet of { timber, 180 vards of equerete, 2,500 yards | of cubic earth, 2,400 lineal feet of piling, [ 500 tons of steel and 150,000 feet of ln_m- { ber for floors. Provisions for expansion ; on account of the change of the tempera- | ture is made at the main pier, the two !S.p:ms being five inches longer in July { than they are in January. The structure | cost about $350,000.
