Lady Worthington was quite an old
family friend qt the Magner', and since
they had been left mime, she had taken
them epeoially under her •Inoteotion.
Claude owed a great deal to her ; she was

pains in helping him, constantly inviting
him to her house, and what was better,
really winning his confidence, and giving
him Almost a eon's piece in her affections.
Claude was by no means her on*
protege; she was genuinely warm-hearted,
and really wore herself out for other people
when she liked them. She had, however,
Strong andikee, as well, and when any one
was not in her good books, she allowed it
to•appear in her manner quite as much as
good -breeding would permit. This, added
to her carelessness of app5arances, was no
doubt the reason why she was often not so
much appreciated as she -ought to have
been.

-the families were of course -acquainted ; he
wee, however, not sure how far Lady
Worthington cared for the intercourse, and
began rather hesitatingly to ask what had
long been in his mind. •
" Hew -you time and inclination to add
one other to your long list Of proteges ?
Because, is no, little Mademoiselle de
Mabillon, is the person of all others, who is
in need. She seem quite•miserable at the
deanery."
"Poor child l" 'mid Lady Worthington
compassionately. " It must indeed be s'/

' "Perhaps this will tell yon better than
words," said (Mende, bringing forward his.
pioture. Accidentially her brother caught
eight of that when he was here, and I wieh
you could have seen his face of grief and
dismay! He says she need to be the
brightest child imaginable."
" And that is really her likeness? such a
e" • young face, and so utterly miserable! Yon

" I' tem afraid not," said Claude smiling.

• Lady Worthington laughed.
" It is like the story of tbe man who
oared a lame dog, which, as soon as it was
well, ran away and brought its lame friend.
I shall be onlyeto glad, though, to help this

A ehadow crossed Chtepard's face, and he
paused a minute before answering. „
" I am glad she should be living in a

Lady Worthington was touched by -his

was already eo late that thio ems impossible.
She rose reluctantly.
"This is a very short and unceremonious

Gaspard, " but I hope when we are in town
again, in the spring, we shall learn to know
you well ; and, meantime, I can at least
tell your sister I have seep von."
Gesperd could only reiterate his thanks_e
and Lady Worthington, getting into her
carriage, drove quickly home, tryingto
think of any means by which she might
help the poor, proud, and apparently half-
starved Frenchmen.
-CHAPTER XVII.
It was quite six o'olook before her lady-
ship's tired horses reached Kensington. She
herself was cold and weary, but in spite of
it thereetaaa_an_alaraneseeineher-stepeaa
ascended the broad staircase, which
bespoke her, indomitable energy. She
opened the drawing -room door, and gave a
relieved exolatnation to find within only
her younger sister, Frances Neville.
" I am home again, et last. I was so
afraid you would have a whole roomful of
visitors," she exclaimed, drawing off her
gloves, and warming her hands by the fire.
" You have knit esoaped them," said
Frances, smiling. " I have had six
editions, and Colonel and Mrs. Vigar have
only been gone a few minutes."
" The unconscionable people to stay so
late L Tiring yon out, to, poor child. Yon
look as white as a sheet. Is Henry in ? "
"1 fancy Thee,rd his step outside; but I
am not certain. Tell me where yon have
been, Katharine. Yon, have had a long
ternoon."
4' Yes, very. I will tell you all when I
come down, but I must first speak to Henry
if he is at home." And Litdy Worthington
hastened away. •
The two sisters were a strange contrast.
Frances was many year's the younger; she
was now about eight -and -twenty, though
her complexion of almost infantine fairness,
and her abundance of pale golden _hair
made, her appear muoh lees. She was
evidently very delicate, her features were
sharpened waif by constant suffering, and
the mouth, though sweet, was still more
expressive qf firm endurance. Her eyes
were like Lady Worthington's, clear gray -
but while with the elder sister they ware
full of hernoroua brightnees and good
nature, with Frances they expressed patient
happiness and a rarely disturbed serenity.
Yet her life had been by no means an
easy 0110. A trite, sickly baby, she had
lievd Ana ,e;•oten elm opt miraculously,.
strooehog theae e ear., aillness, and
most per eot courtesy.
Liddy Worthington, dietreseed by her
siater's pale, suffering face, hastened to
arrange her onehione, tending her with an
assiduity which might have been tiresome
had it not been done with such° grace and
with such loving anxiety.
If I had only thought about it and
come home sooner you would have been
spared all this," she said, with com-
punction. " People seem to oome back to
town eo muoheerlier than they used to do
-I can't irnagine why."
" There has been . less traveling this
year,"said Sir Henry ; " that may, per-
haps, account for it. The state of France
has frightened people."
" Ah ! your speaking of France reminds
me -whom do you think I met thie after-
noon ?sae son of that Monsieur de Mabillon
who married Amy Collinson."
" Blonsietur de Mabillon!" exclaimed
Sir Henry, smiling ; " my some time rival,
whom I have been blessing ever since
"Now, Henry " interrupted Lady
Worthington, -coloring and smiling.
He answered by stepping to kiss her on
the forehead, and sthere was a moment's
silence, while Franoes, understanding it
all, could not resist watching her sister's
beentiful and still wonderfully youthful
faise, softened as it was by, love and
happiness..
"You met Mon‘ieur de Mabillon, did4on

"No, his son," answered Lady Worth-
ington. " He, poor man, was killed during
the 'eiege of 'Paris. Curiously enough;
when I went to say good-bye to Clande
Maguey this afternoon, I found Young Gae•
pard de Mabillon at hie studio, and half
recognized • him. Afterward Clande told
me who he was, and I went to see him my --
self at bis rooms. It seems' that he and
his sister left France in the spring ; she is
now with the Collinsons, at Riloheater, and
he trying for work here, but quite unsuo-
oessfully."
" And you, of course, adopted him at
once, and paid that I would find employ.
ment," said Sir Henry, smiling.'
" No, not quite; I really was very
prudent; my precipitation in the case of
that young architect, the other day, has
taught me wisdom. I made no rash
promises ; but serioualy, Henry, I do wish
you could help the poor fellow in someway."
" I. will bear him in mind,then, but you
remember that I have two of your proteges
oommended to my .special attention ever
since Jane.".
"Julius Wright, yon mean, and that
young Me. Frankland, 1 wish we (mild get
them dispoaed of. Certainly all the pro-
feseions are very much overstocked."
• " Why does not Dean Collinson help
him 2" asked Sir Henry..
"He has done po in a manner by taking
the little girl to live with him, but I fancy
trona what the poor boy said this afternoon,
that it went sorely against the grain to take
help from that quarter. - And that reminds
me, Franede, we must really take the
deanery by storm as soon as we go home,
and rescue little Mademoiselle Mabillon,
who, from Claude's account, is very
unhappy there."

The Awful Experience an Engilsh Aero-

Great excitinefbnt was caused at Croydon
on Saturday efternoolS in connection with
the Ascent from the old fair field of Prof.
Higgins, the parachutist, and for several
hours doubts were entertained as to his
safety. The balloon, which hae been named
"The Duke's Blotto," and was of the capac-
ity of 12,000 oubio feet, was faily charged
by 5 o'clock. Higgins said the direction of

but he hoped to return to the field in about
half an hour. When he gave • the
signal to the attendants to "101

Norwood. Upon reaching an altitude of
something like 4000 feet, the paraohnte be.

The Strongegt Known AnimaL,

when out of ite shell. " At Folkestone; by
means of accurate appliances," Says Mr.
Lawrence -Hamilton, " I found that the
common sea -shore limpet, which deprived
of its -shell, weighed et minute fraction less
than half an ounce, required, which palled
according to its plane of adhesion, a throe
exceeding 62 pounds to remove it from its
powerful grip upon the heed littoral low -
tide rook, or upward of 1,984 times it own
dead weight. , The superficial area of the
base of this individual limpet measured
2.4 square inchee. Taking the atmospheric
pressure at 14 7 poundito the square inch,
this would even then only , account for

8 o'olook, however, all fear was dispelled by
the receipt of a telegram statinat Hig-
gins had landed safely near Tunbridge.
Higgins and his balloon arrived . at East
Croydon by the 9,20 train.
' In an interview with a correspondent
eliggine stated that he had experienced the
most wonderful of -ill his aerial voyages.
....Wheui_ha.hadereached-a-heigh.teof-4,000-feet
he began to get into a strong current and
the balloon twiEte 1 right around. The
current then caught hia parachute, causing
the wooden ring of it to catch him very
tighly under the arms. The test cord which
held the parachute then broke. Directly
that happened he tem the parachute was
hanging below him fully inflated and the
pressure on him was so geeat that i was
imposeible •for him ICIAtecend into the
middle of the town with anything like
safety. He therefore opened his penknive

he met another current, which brought
him back and he saw nothing until he
passed through some sleet and snow. He
could hear, however, the sound of traine.
All of. a sudden he found himself in dark-
-nesemutende-he-tpreetneeetie-by tbe snow
and the thick atmosphere. He was in this
snowstorm for at least ten minutes and
when he had passed- through it the sun was
shining beautifully. Below him he could •
see what appeared to be snowy mountains
rising up 'and dean for miles. He could
see a distance of some 40 clear miles and
was able to discern the sun glistening on
the water at Brighton. It was evident to
him that he was going towards Tunbridge
Wells. He found the air getting very
sharp and keen; icicles were hanging from
hisemouetaohe and he had no sooner rubbed
them off than others formed. For a few
minutes he was quite deaf. He now
seemed to be descending on the mountains
of snow and he thought he was getting near
Hastings or Brighton. He could smell
the sea. Thinking he was coming down
he took hold of four of his guy ropes and
pulled the balloon pertly over on one side
to allow the gas to escape at the month.
The balloon than turned round three
times, and he felt _heves descending. He
did nothing more to Ale balloon, merely
sitting on his trapeze watching for terra
firma, which he did not see for some time.
At length he saw plowed fields, and oloee
by there was what he took to be a large
park with white roads across it. He then
travelled about five orCitsix miles at a very
rapid pace and saw more plowed fields,
which he thought would be a suitable
place to land on. When ho was about
-objects in the water, would, of course, have
pulled a much greater weight than that of
-62 pounds. Thus in the air a limpet pulled
up to 32 1 pounds,but subsequently, in spite
of its previous fatigue, when covered over
by the inooming tide, it then took upward
of 54 pounds to remove it. I doubt whe-
ther the limpet's adhesive force has any-
thing to do With • the question of atmos-
pheric preesure. In other experiments
even bits of rook came away sticking to the
limpet's embrace. An ancient Greek
author compared thie animal's adhesion to
the ardent attachment of an ugly old
Woman to a handeome youth. In carrying
out my experiments ripen he limpets I
