which covers me. You once turned another

and goodness, from your house, and threw
her upon the mercy of the world—as you

CHAPTER XLIV.
Not more than a mile from Buckingham
Palace road stands a little church which still
retains something of a rustic air, although
it is within measurable distance of the heart
of this great city, where the hum of restless,
eager life is heard through all the waking
hours of the day.
Before this ohur eh there are two carriages
from one of which descend Agnes Haldane
Frederick Partonand, his father, and Mr.
Barlow. From the other Rachel Diprose,
George Millington and his father, and Mrs.
Barlow. Mr. Barlow is to give Miss Hal-
dane away, and Mr. Barlow stands female
sponsor to Rachel Dipcose.
There is a difference of opinion as to which
of the brides is the prettier, but all are
agreed that they are both the very picture,
of happiness. Perhaps for openly expressed
happiness George Millington would take
the palm, but joy is flowing in the hearts of
brides and bridegrooms alike. Faithful love,
tried in adversity and never found wanting,
is at length rewarded. The dark days are
over, and though winter it near, love's sun
is shinning brightly and tenderly.
The words which bind each to the other
are spoken. The rings are on the fingers,
the kisses are exchanged, the names are
signed. Agnes opens her arms to Rachel,
and the girls are locked in a fond embrace.
" Dear Rachel 1" murmurs Agnes, and
can•sayno more her heart is so full.
" My dear mistress!" mumurs Rachel.
What need for further words between
them ? Standing on the threshold of a new
life these fair young creatures are the sym-
bols of sweetness and faithfulness.
P.ichel is the first to recover herself. She
slips to the side of her George.
You've got mo at last, George," she
says, crying and laughing at the same time.
"And I mean to keep you, Rachel," says
George, kissing her again in the church—
which I believe is against the regulations.
" But George, dear—"
" Yes, my darling?"
" You were so impatient 1 Iwas almost
afraid I was going to lose you, and that
another girl would stand in my place."
" As if that could have over happened 1"
says incredulous George. " Well dad ?"
Well, my boy ?" says Mr. Millington.
That is about all that passed between
father and son. How feeble are written
words ? How eloquent are tones and looks !
Upon Agnes' finger is another plain ring of
gold, with a single letter engraved upon its
inner surface—H. Agnes looks around the
church, and her eyes rest upon the figure of
the woman, still closely veiled, who had en-
tered before the coremony. She leaves her
bricdegn om's side, and goes to the pew in
which this woman is standing.
" Honoria 1"
" Miss Haldane—forgive me—Mrs. Par-
ton 1"
" Not to you, Honoria. I am Agnes 1"
"Agnes 1"
" Kiss me, sister 1"
" God bless you ! God reward you 1"

was hardly in earnest. Even if it were not
a sad joke I should decline to accept two of
the persons you have named. You, and
they, will know to whom I refer. The
Council, therefore, does not exist, not being
competent, as a body, to decide a question
of honour. if they were, it would not
that they would pledge themselves unhesi- alter the story I have told you, or the judg-
ment the world will pass upon it."
She moved to the door, and passed through
it. Before the excited conversation into
which her guests fell could take definite
form or expression she returned, accompani-
ed by two lathes.
One was an elderly lady, whose bearing
was distinguished by a peculiar sadness and
dignity. The other was a lady, decently
dressed, upon whose face degradation . had
set its seal. Her cheeks were bloated, her
eyes were bleared, her form trembled and
shook, her bands were stretched forth help-
lessly, pitifully. Had it not been for the
support of the elderly lady and Honoria,
between whom she stood, the image of hope-
less dispair and imbecility, she would have
fallen to the ground.
"This is my mother," said Honoria,
drawing herself to her full height, "of
whose existence I was aware only a few
short weeks ago."
They gazed at her and her companions in
silent wonder. For two or three minutes
no word was spoken. Then Honoria turn-
ed to the elderly lady.
"Mrs. Ketinedy," she said, " when my
mother, then a young girl, was living in
your home, she made the accquaintance of
a man known to you and her as Mr. J ulius
Clifford. Kindly look around, and tell mo
if he is present in this room."
That is ho, said Mrs. Kennedy, point-
ing to' Mr, Haldane. '
"Infamous 1 Infamous 1"
The murmurs came from the guests.
There was not one among them who could
have claimed a spotless record, bnt they
were not directlytoncerned in this adven-
tore, and, being thus relieved, they were
not slow in pronouncing judgment. The
crime of the exposed man was that he had
been found out ; for such a crime there is no
forgiveness ; a man's own peers will unhesi-
tatingly condemn hien when he comes to this
pass.
" Yes," said Honoria, " it is infamous.
That m
au is my father,
and for that man I
entertain a horror too deep for expression.

scene es part of his punishment for his in -
lamella crime. Hunan justice has failed,
tatingly, in testimony of which he called
upon them to hold up their hands. Every
hand was held up.
" The man who forfeits his word," said
Honoria, "is unworthy the name of a gent-
leman. Now, it you please, we will adjourn.
We shall meet again at dinner."
"And your lady friends?" they asked.
"Yon will see thein afterwards. We
dine at eight. At ten I shall expect to see
you all here in this room."
At the dinner table, where Honoria, as
shelled promised, made her appearance, she
was asked what form the entertainment she
had provided for them would take, and her
reply was that it•would take the form of a
story.
"Only a story, Honoria 1" protested a
gentleman. "I was in hopes that you were
going to give us a romance."
" Some persons might even call it that,"
said Honoria ; " but whatever it is you
will find it sufficiently interesting.", •
When at ten o'clock, all the guests being
assembled in the music room, she trade Tier
entrance, a buzz of admiration went round.
Her dress, her beauty, her jewels, were the
theme of general admiration. "Gad 1" cried
an elderly roue. 1' She deserves her position
The names of her Council of Honor were
submitted to her, and her eyes gleamed as
they rested upon the names of Mr. Haldane
and Louis Redwood. She inquired how the
selection had been made, and was informed
by ballot.
1° Do you believe in fate, gentlemen ?" she
asked. Some did, and some did not. "There
is something like fatality," she added, " in
Mr. Haldane and Mr. Redwood being on the
Council. They might have to sit iu judg-
ment on themselves. .
They said that this would make the pro-
ceedings alt the more interesting; and then
Honoria asked them to be seated, and,
standing, held tip her hand for silence.
" The story I have to tell," she. colnmen-
ced, " is a atory of real life. It begins, as

An Irish Ghost Story..
An occursine° of a serious nature, and one
which is the all•absorbing topic of city gos-
sip, is reported from a portion of Bally-
bricken known as Costelloes Lane. Some
three weeks ago a pensioner of the Royal
Irish Constabulary, named Kingsworth,
with his family took up residence there prior
to going to Waterford. He held the posi-
tion of caretaker on an evicted learn in the
Passage East district. While in occupation
he reported to Sergeant Murphy, of Passage
East, that he and his family were disturbed
at nightby unearthly sounds. The sergeant
commanded an escort party to the house,
the approaches of which were taken posses-
sion of, and one of his men stationed in the
interior. While there the sergeant and his
men heard unmistakably unearthly sounds.
The man on duty saw furniture dashed
about by s )me invisible agency. Sergeant
Murphy reported the result of his experi-
ence to his superior officer in Waterford, and
Head Constable Waters was sent out to in-
vestigate the matter. Despite all en-
treaties, the caretaker and his family left in
a state of terror. The ex -caretaker appears
to have lived in peace at Costelloes Lane, in
the city, until Saturday night, when he
raised au alarm that the ghosts who had
haunted him in is old quarters had tracked
him to the new. His family were found to
be in a state of great excitement, while
household articles were lying about in con-
fusion. Neighbours state that they " heard
a voiee," and all fled from the house in ter-
ror. The police visited the house twice, as
did hundred of citizens, including several
Roman Catholic clergymen. All the ap-
proaches to the house were closely guarded ;
but unearthly noises are still heard.
Widow Muloahey's Sudden Demise.
In a Western village an Irishman named
Casey kept a small general store. On a
very cold but clear day in winter a fellow -
countryman dropped in and was greeted by
the store -keeper with the words,—
"It's a fine day, tirr. Mooney."
" It is, Mr. Casey. V4 hat's new wid you
to day?"
"Sorra much I have that's new, Mr.
Money, but mournful news. You heard of
the death of the widow Mulcahey? You
did? Yis—no?"
" Not a word av it, Mr. Casey, and I
hope it's not true, anyway. But what dis-
ease did she die av? Tlie neighbors '11 miss
her.
" Yis, Mr. Mooney, a decent women was
Mrs. Mulcahey. Many a yard of calico I
sold her, and many a spool of thread, for
whin she had the money she never spared
e:cpinse, and she always looked nate and ili-
gent. "
"But what did ye say she died av, Mr.
Casey ?"
" Well, ye see, she just went out in the
yard to the pump with a Pail in her hand to
get a drap ave wather. She fell on the ice,
struck the back of her head, and thin walk-
ed into the house a corpse."
THE PRINGE'S TAILOR..
now He lies to Go About It When Doing
Business with Wales.
We get most of our orders from Marlbor-
ough house through one of the prince's va-
lets, Messrs. Price and Chandler. One or
the other of them will casually drop in and
remark, " You had better send his royal
highness some more of so-and-so," naming
the article, or "H. R. II. desires that one of
your men wait upon hint at a fixed hour."
1 This, in trade parlance is called " giving an
audience." Marlborough House is situated
in a piece of ground lying between Pall Mall
and St. James' park. On the latter side
are the lawns and pleasure grounds, while
the former is separated by a paved court-
yard from a fortnidable wall guarded by
several red -coated sentries and a half-dozen
stalwart constables.
Getting into Marlborough house is a game
to the novice worthy of the inventor of Pigs
in CL,ver. The tradesman's entrance is a
narrow portal in the right wing of the build-
ing known from its character as the " glass
door." Here the candidate for admittauce
must wait until a servnetpasses from whom
he may ask the favor Of being announced.
No ringing or knocking facilities exist.
The caller applying to the " Bobby" at the
door will be asked : "Have you an appoin t-
ment ?" " Yes with Mr. Chandler." " Do
you know your way to the glass door?" If
hs doesn't, that settles it, and if he profess
to do so and give the slightest indication of
hesitancy be will be unceremoniously
dragged back to the street again. Suppos-
ing, however, that he reaches the haven of
safety, he will be made to take his turn in
passing to the equerry's room, where in a
few moments the smiling countenance of the
prince will have put him quite at ease. He
will have ou ordinary occasions about three
minutes to transact his business, and on
very special ones about six.
The prince, though having good ideas of
his own, will submit with good grace to any
suggestions and will ask advice from the
salesman as well as his valet. A fit in ever)
particular must be secured at the first try-
ing on or the order is not likely to be repeat-
ed. A good idea of the figure of the prince
will bo seized by those familiar in sizing up
their fellow -men by the following dimen-
sions : H. R. H. wears an Si collar, has a
45 chest, 34 arm, 4211 waist (for trousers, 44)
and 30 leg, (for trousers, 31). Contrary to
general credit, especially in America, his
tastes are exceedingly quiet.—[Clothier and

How different things are in America ! Two
young girls were lately travelling through
Ohio. As the train stopped at a station
two ladies entered and took seats in front
of thein ; then a stout lady came forward
and greeted them and kept up a lively con-
versation uutil the train started. Then one
of the two said : " Sit down near ns, and
toll those girls to sit somewhere else." So
the stout lady turned and said in freezing
tones : I wish to converse with my friends
and would like that seat. I am Mrs. Presi-
