Although there were limbers of people in the paddock they were all so engrossed in their own selfish af- faira that they had no time to notice that she aril 1.40II:d Redwood were engaged in an unusually animated conversation. A certain measure of privacy MINS therefore secured, but it did not content Honoria. She made slight motion of her head, and Redwood followed her as a lamb follows its clam. She conducted him to a remote corner, where there was no chance of their being hustled or overheard.' "Redwood," she said, "do you know I have a great deal of money ?" "You. ought to have," he replied. " You have been a regularly lucky woman this last year. Yoa never back a loser. Boats, dogs, or horses, it's all ono to yon ; what- ever you put your money on, wins. Your luck has been dead in ; but mark my words, Honoria, the Derby tams it. I wish you had every penny you're worth on Morning Glory," " I am game to risk it," she said, " That is my challenge, Morning Glory against Abracadabra for every shilling I possess." "You've got a nerve," he said, admiring- ly; but it's two to one on Abracadabra, and five or six to one against Morning Glory. If you lost thirty thousand could yon stump up,?', -4 I could." "And. you want me to lay you the odds against Morning Glory. Well, to be honest with you, Honoria, if 'by some infernal charm) you should wiri I ahouldn't be able to raise money enough to settle with you. As for getting such a sum on in the ring at this time of day it would. be an impossibility." I don't want money, Redwood," said Honoria, with a bewitching smile, " I want landed property." Lauded property ?" " Landed property,"she repeated. "Wo- men take odd notions into their heads I've taken onc into mine. What has the Chudleigh estate cost you i" " Cost me 1" he cried, with an oath. "I'd rather not mention the sum. It makes me wild to think of it." " I challenge yon," said she, tauntingly, "to lay me the dt. :-ds of the Chudleigh estate auainst, thirty thousand pounds of my money that Morning Glory does not win the Derby." He stared at her in blank amazement. " Are you mad. ?" he exclaimed. " I think I ani. You haven't the pluck ? tion ?" she inquired. Good bye, then." She turned, as though Objection, be hanged I" he exclaimed, throwing him over for ever. " The race is fairly won and lost. How do you feel ?" " I don't know yet ; I'll tell you by and by. How do you feel, after such a knock?" (�, it isn't the money that troubles me," he said. " It's you. Are we frietds • •3 me," she, said, firing him with another look " Why, certainly. What should I do without yea?" There was comfort in this. " You've said it, mind," he cried. " I've said it," she replied. " It will depend upon yourself." "In what way ?" " Didn't I tell you I don't know yet ? I must have time to get my breath. I've a great deal to think of now. „ Hunted out of Chili -neigh the last time I was there.

As the race progressed a chill fell upon Louis Redwood even in the midst of his ex- citement. It seemed to him as if Morning Glory had not varied an inch to its position towards Abracadabra, and as if Fate were waiting the final flesh of a moment to deal him a heavy blow. Nothing else was in the race but these two horses, their nearest competitor being three lengths behind. A handred yards only to the winnink post, and Morning Glory drew slowly up. The din was deafening ; it was as if Babel bad broke loose. Hearts beat almost to burst- ing, faces flushed, eyes glared, voices were strained till they were in danger of crack- ing. 137 a stroke of masterly riding Morn- ing Glory's jockey had stolen in between Abracadabra. and the rails ; Beano had no need to turn his head ; he felt the snort of his rival's nostrils; only four strides, and the goal was reached. Scarcely two or three moments had elaps- ed since the horses bad passed the post, but it seemed au age. The men were waiting on the ulatform with numbers in their hands, looking towards the judges box for their in- straction. They stooped, and selected a number, end before they fixed it in its place the result was yell- d all over the course. The number was 2. Morning Glory was de - clued the winner, Abracadabra second. With a smile on his lips' and a curse in his heart, Louis Redwood dropped his glass, and as lie put it in its sling he turned to Honoria. " You have won," he said. Honoria nodded, and returned his smile. She was a little dazed, because she did not, yet quite realize the situation, but she betrayed very little excitement. lathe first flush of his defeat Louis Redwood gave scarcely a thought to the material stake he hadlost. It was the prebable loss of Ho- noria that stun him most ; she had slipped from his grasp in the very moment of histriumph, triumph, and still remained her own mis- tress, more than ever independent of him. There was yet a hope, however—a slender one, it is true, but it had. happened before, and might happen now—that the winning jockey could net draw the weight. He offer- ed his arm to Honoria. " Coming to the paddock ?" he asked. " Yes," she replied, and placing her hand on his arm walked with him. She could not but admire him for ease and self pos- session. " Are you going to raise an objec- " Not so fast, my lady," lie said, with white lips. " No one has ever seen me show the white feather yet where motley is con- cerned. I was thinking more of you than of myself." " I've no objection to your thinking of and a charming smile. "1 do believe you mean it when you say you love me." " You may believe it. I would sell my soul for you.' " It hasn't a market Redwood ; Chudleigh has ; and mad as I am on this fancy of mine, I'ni a business woman. Do you really and truly love me, Louis?" He thrilled with pleasure as she addressed him by his Christian name. "Haven't I done enough to prove it, Honoria?" Not quite enough," she replied. "She can't lose. Providence is on her side." " I believe in the other gentleman," ob- served. Redwood. "This is a black Wed- nesday for me, amino mistake." CHAPTER XXXVIII. It is time to turn our attention to the other side of the picture and it will be a re- lief to many to leave the seamy side of hu- man nature From the day Agnes Haldane left her father's house at his stern command she had led a life of patient toil. She and Rachel Diprose did not remain long in the lodgings they took when they first came to London ; at Mr. Partoo'swish Agnes took rooms close to his residence in Westminster Palace road and thus she had a friend near her upon whom she could rely. His first anxiety was, how they should live? She and Rachel, as we know, had but little money between them, and they set to work ab once to solve the problem upon which, hundreds of thou- sands of people in this great city are engag- ed from the cradle to the grave. Agnes and her faithful maid had many a battle with respect to expenditure. The young lady did not wish to touch Rachel's store but George Milliugton's sweetheart would not be denied. " It is not possible," Agnes would say in her gentlest tone, "that you yourself may be doing wrong in not going to the home George is providing for you." No, Miss, 1 don't think it is. The home can wait, and so can George. He hasn't waited fox me so long as you think, and if he is satisfied, and I am satisfied, what's the use of talking About it?" And now, perhaps, it may be supposed that, after the usual fashion of novelists, the story will branch out into a dismal re. cord of the struggles and privations endured by these two brave and obstinate young women. But, happily, there is no need for this, and. the writer is not called turn to in- vent melancholy incidents and episodes to excite the reader's compassion. Struggle - they had, but not greater than they could cope with. They had to work for theirlivs ing as a matter of course. Rachel whither needle could earn an average of eight shill- inge a week, and. find time as well to do the cooking and housekeeping. Further, that this she had no need, for the earning of these weekly shillings to work after seven o'clock p. m and this left her evenings free for George —though she would not have him come every day : she limited him to twice a week, which after a time, was extended to three evenings out of the seven. Then, about Agnes. Assist- ed by Mr. Parton's limited influenee, she actually succeeded in seoaring a footing in a postal telegraph office, where she proved so valuable asan acquisition, thatsbebrought home with ner every week no less a sum than eighteen shillings. This, with Rachel's eight, made up a, total of twentv -six shillings and upon this they lived as happily as they could expect under the eirctunetances into which they bad been plunged. Instance of Rachel's firrimess and remark- able consistency have been given. We will say a word now of Agnes' conduct in this respect. Frederick Parton came home from New Zealand, all his castles in the air tumbled down and extinguished. Ho went out to make his fortune ho came home penniless, and in somewhat feeble health. But the medicine of love, no less than his own man- liness, and courage, soon restored. him, and and he put his shoulder to the wheel with a will. Tender and sweet was the first meet- ing of the lovers, and as tender and sweet was the after communion of two young souls welded together by pure and true affection. "1 have Agnes to work for now," said Frederick to his father. "Money separated us; the want of money, United us. Lot us bo thankful for poverty. This was q tuxedo, but there was a measure of sincerity and absolute thankfulness in it, And shortly after his return to England an astonishing, thing ocourred. Tho world that had been blind so long suddenly open- ed its eyes to the undoubted genius of fath- er and son. They painted pictures which were talked of, and the consequence was that they found themselves ascending the ladder. Their paintings wore welcomed in the Academy and the galleries, Dad they had the satisfaction of seeing them hung. Unfor- tunately they fell into the hands of picture dealers, not in the first rank, and were be- guiled by this crew into mortgaging their brushes there year ahead. Only those who have worked for years, hopingagolnst hope, till hope is almost dead, know how casy it is to fall a victim to these sharp dealers. But the Partons, father and son, were satis- "That's the question. rm a waif and fied. The long struggle was over, and fame stray , you L.no w. " You're the loveliest woman in England."

"It was only yesterday. 1 can see my- self at this moment in Chudleigh Woods." The jockeys passed the scales, and the voices of the racing touts rang through the air. " All right !" "AU right !" Redwood did not exchange a word with his jockey Beane ; he believed in his heart that he had been sold. His disasters did not end here ; the day was not yet over. .11e and Honoria had heavy bets on the next two races, the High Weight Handicap and the Stanley Stakes, and the result was the same. He lost, and Honoria won. "Your star is in the ascendant," he said. "1 hear you have a notion of giving a house -warning at Chudleigh," said Major Causton to her. "Is the furniture at the Hall yours as well as the estate ?" "Inever thought of that," she replied, and at once attacked Redwood. "I will Make you a present of it," he said, grandly. "It is not mine, then?" she asked. " You did not win it," he said. "What yon won was landed property. I should like to lay yon under an obligation to mo." "I am under too many already. Besides, I don't wish to bleed. you to death." " What does it matter?" he muttered. " 0, Ihave a heart, though you may not believe it. No. I will not accept the gift.

"Where did you get your brains from?" " Who knows what may happen," she liev.sked asked saucily, "when I really need a friend like yon.—when I am ruined?

" You may as well initial it," she said, " and I will initial yours." The interchange was made, and then they shook hands, both smiling into each other's eyes, confident of victory. The paddock was emptying now ; all the jockeys had passed the scales, and some two or three were already mounted and making their way to the course ; the others were mounting, and accompanied by anxious trainers, owners, and backers, were follow- ing the leaders; the bookmakers' touts, hay ing nothing more to pick up in that arena, were in the ring. Honoria and Redwocal -walked slowly to tt sir box, both apparently -cool and unconcerned ; they had made the great stake, of which no one was at present aware but themselves, and it was one of Redwood's boasts that he could lose and win a hundred thousand pounds without turning a hair. Nevertheless, although he was coin. pletely successful in concealing his feelings he was inwardly much agitated; so much depended upon the next half-hour; his life's triumph or defeat seemed to hang upon the issue. "By Jove, you two 1" cried Major Oaus- ton. "One would think you hadn't a penny on the race. Leb me congratulate you be- forehand, Redwood. There's no getting a bookmaker to take another fiver against Abracadabra. There he goes. What a beauty I" The horses were cantering to the starting post, and. every eye was noting Abracadabra, and every voice was raised in admiration. A sigh of relief escaped from hundreds of the spectators who had baeked Abracadabra the horse had only gone fifty yards, and was now leisurely turning round. Loins Red- wood never took his eyes front his Voight- lender. A loud shout arose from the vast throng, "They're off! They're.off 1" And a moment afterwards. "No 1 False start!"

A marvelous tale comes from Dakota of a discovery which has been accidentally made in the mountains northwest of Rapid City. It is stated that there is a natural telephone line between two mountains in the Black Hills range. CM each side of a valley twelve miles in width eband two high peaks, which tower above the other mountains, and have long been known as landmarks. These mountains are several thousand feet high, and only on rare occasions. have • they been sealed, so but little is known of their topo- graphy. Some weeks ago a party of to-urists de- cided to make the ascent. They divided in- to two parties, ono for each peak, taking with them heliographs for the purpose of signaling to each other across the valley. The ascent was made, and so the story goes, while the members of one party were pre- paring to signal to those of the other, one of the party of the north mountain was sur- prised to hear voices which apparently came out of the air. He moved his position and the soundwas no longer heard. By chang- ing his position several times he discovered that at a certain spot of the mountain he could hear the voices, and it was not long before he discovered that they proceeded from the party on the other mountain. He called the attention of the others to the phenomenon, and when the attention of the opposite party had been attracted it was found that an ordinary conversation in an ordinary tone of voice was plainly heard from one mountain top to the other. There was only one place on the mountain where it could be heard, and thisappeared to form a natural telephone. No shouting was ne- cessary, and the words were perfectly dis- tinct.Assuming this story to bo true, an ioii may be sought in the form of the mountains, which might serve as ellip- tical reflectors of sound, (the speakers plac- ing themselves in the foci at each end of the eclipse) and in the low density of the atmos- phere at the altitude at which the phonom- euon was observed. Tho Mormon Temple at Salt Lake City, which is of enormous dimensions, is built in the form of a true elipse, and a person standing in the fouus at one end can carry on a conversation in a whisper with another who places himself in the focus at the other end. was theirs, and fortune would be and. for the present their purses were sufhciently fil- led for their needs. Setting marriage aside awhile they had numb to be thankful for. The course of true love was running smooth, and. a bright fut- ure lay before them.
