As he reaches it, he hears, with annoy-
ance, the clock striking one. 11e is an-
n(yeed, both because the length of his
absence seems to argue an Indifference
to the tidings he Is expecting, and also
because he knows that it is the Wilsons'
luncheon hour, and that he will proba-
bly Bold that they have migrated to the
sidle -a -monger. In this case he will
have to choose between the two equally
disagreeable alternatives, of following
and watching them at their food, or that

who, it is needless to say, does not ac-
company her family to the public dining -
room ; a tele -a -tete with Sybilla, which
i;. of all forms of social intercourse,
that-forwhich he has the least. relish.
But as he apprehensively opens the
salon door, he sees that his fears are un-
founded. They have not yet gone to
luncheon; they are all sitting in much
the same attitudes as he had left them,
except that Sybilla is eating or drinking
something of a soupy nature out of a
cup. 'There are very few hours of the
tiny or night in which Sybilla is not eat-
ing something cit of a cup. There is
that about the entire idleness of the other
a.uple which gives tarot a fright. Are
they too unhappy? 1lave They heard loo
bad news to be able to settle to tiny oc-
cupation? Urged by this alarm, his
question shoots out, almost before he is
Inside the door :
"I las not he come yet ? Has not the
doctor cone yet ?''
"lie has been aid gone; you see you
have been such a very long lime away,"
replies Cecilia. She has no intention of
conveying reproach, either by her words
or tone, but to his sore conscience it
seems as if both carried it.
"Anil what did he say?"
"Ile did not sae much."
"Does he -does he think that it is any-
thing -anything serious 7"
"Ile did not say."
"Do you mean to tell me'"--in;lignant-
ly-"that you did not ask him?"
"Ify •ou had been here,' replies Ce-

Of, her I1001'. "Did not he say ?"
"1 do not think tie knew himself."
"But he must have thought -Ire must

uneasy as there seems no tangible ob-

"And how soon will he knew? I low

"I do not know."

asks Jim feverishly, chafing al the idea
of this inaction. which seems inevitable,
with that helpless feeling tvIiielt his own
entire ignorance of sickness produces.
"Do not you suppose that if (here was

"Mrs. 1-e Marchant was not there at
all." 'Then, seeing the open-mouthed
astonishment depicted on the faces of
his audience, he .-.aces his mind to
mnko the inevitable yet dreaded. an-
nouncement. "1 had better explain at
once that neither Mrs. nor Miss Le Mar-
chant were there; they are gone."
"Gone !"
"Yes; they left Florence at seven
o'clock this morning."
There is a moment of silent stupefac-
tion.
"1 suppose," says Cccilia, at last slow-
ly recovering the power of speech,
"that they were telegraphed for? Mr.
1.,+ Marchant is dead or ill? one of the
married sisters? one of the bmlhel's ?"
Never in his lite has Jim labored un-
der so severe a temptation to tell a lie,
were it only the modified falsehood of
allowing Cecilia's hypothesis to pass un-
contradicted ; but even it he were able
for once to conquer his constitutional
incapacity, he knows that in This ca -se
it would bo useless. 'The truth must
transpire to -morrow.
"1 believe not."
"Gone!" repeals Cecilia, In a still
more thunderstruck key than before --
"and whero are they gone?'
"i du not know."
"Why did they go?'
Jim makes an impalient movement,
fidgetting on his chair. "I can only tell
you their actions; they tokt me their
motives as little as they did to you."
"Gone! \Vhy. they never said a word
about it yesterday"
This being of the nature of nn asser-
tien-not an interrogation -Jinn feels
with relief that it does not demand an
unsw'r.
"Gone at seven o'clock in the 'swell-
ing!
inon•ing! \Vhy, they could not have had
time to pack their things I"
'They left them behind."
The nv ntent That this admission is nut
o: Burgoyne's mouth, he repents having
made it ; nor does his regret at all
diminish under the shower of ejacula-
tions from both sisters that it calls forth.
"Why, it was a regular flit ! they
must have taken French leave."
There is something so horribly jarring
in the semi-jocisity of the last phrase
that Jim jumps up from his chair and
walks towards the window, where Mr.
Wilson is sitting in dismal idleness.

about the Le Merchants, and is now far

lousness. But the window of a small
morn is not so distant from any other
part of it that sounds cannot, with per-
fect case, penetrate thither, as Jim finds
when Cecilia's next eager question pur-
sues him.
"Did Mr. Byng know that they were

No,"
Them is a pause.
"It Ls nisolutely incomprehensible!"

"You are mistaken -she left a note for

tor to use a baton was the Frenchman,
Lully. Previous to his lime, conductors
had been in the habit of clapping their
hands to mark time. Lally found this
wearisome, so used a slick, not a short
baton like that at present in use, but a
pole five feet in len_elb. One day in his
excitement he brought his baton down
upon his foot with emit force that it
wounded his instep badly. Blood poi-
soning ensued, and the fuel baton
caused its inventor's death.
LABORATORY TO FOIL Si'IE.S.
Dr. Herbert Franklin %vas lite first man
to produce a photograph in natural
color. So great a sensation did itis dis-
covery C1111:0 that he wits besieged by
spies. To foil them and perfect his
nnetheoLe he built a special laboratory.

(here. Apparently he had usual a char-
coal fire in the preparation of his plates,
and having failed to open the ventilators

But inventors nowadays do not suffer
as they used to when steam was a novel-
ty to the populace. The first Irwin which
ever ran in Mexico was attacked by a
mob of peons and teamsters, who saw
that it would lake their Iiweli;ano,I from
them. The driver was badly injured,
one guard or conductor was killed, mud
at least a down of the strikers were shot
or rut oyer.
One of the most extraordinary machine
riots on record occurred at Lend,erg. in
Austria, when the first steam saw -mill
W114 put up. The sawyers 11114 wood-
cutters were a large and powerful guild.
