course, believed that your de.
clarations were true, and that you
really loved me truly, but alas! it
is evidently not so., I can only suf-
fer in silence., Good-bye forever
We shall never,, never meet *gain.
But I tell you, Wilford,. that I bear
sou no malice, and that my. pray-
ers will ever be for your welfare
and your happiness. Perhaps,
sometimes you will give a passing
thought to the sorrowful, heart-
broken woman who 'till loves You.
"MABEL ANSON."
What could this mean? It spoke
of our engagement for five months!
I had ne knowledge whatever of
ever having declared the secret of
niy love, much less becoming .her
affianced husband. Was it possible
that in the first few months of my
Ilile03SCi0115 life- rluorniet her and
told her- of my affection, of how
, 1 worshipped -her with all the
-strength of my being?
As I at there with the carefully
preserved letter in my hand there
arose before me a vision of her
calor ,fair face, bending over the
piano, her hands.onie profile il-
lumined bl• the candles on .either
side, the single dia. mond susgended
4 its invisible "chain gleanung at
her threat- like eye.„ The
impression I had obtained, of her
en that night at The Boltows still
remained indelibly with me. Yes,
• her beauty was !superb, her sweet-
ness unsurpassed, by that of an
other woman had ever met.
Among the other private papers
preserved within the wallet were
four seraps of notepaper with type-
writing upon them. All bore the
same signature—that of the strange
name "Avel," All Of them made -
appointments. One asked me to
meet the writer in the writing -room
ipf the Hoterliletisii
nnother made an appointment to
aneet me ”on the Promenade at

er, ." a third suggested my office. at
Winchester House as a ;netting
-
plate, and the fourth gave a ren-
dezvous on the departure platform
at King's.Cross Station.
I fell to wondering vilether I had
kept any of these engapments. Th -e"
most recent of these letter,* was dat-
ed nearly two years ago. '-

IN TENEBRIS LUX. ,
One of the strangest phenomen«.
which have occurred for many years
—strange, becauee altogether un-
intelligible, and, so far, not satis-
factorily explained by scientists_
was the remarkable and unitecoun
prelongaUon of — the ow of
twilight, with the complete absence
cf darkness during the whole of the
night, which recently so startled
north-western Europe. • A: beauti-
ful sunset hue pervaded the north-
ern heavens, as though, the axis of
the earth suddenly changing, the
sun had not sunk so fax beneath
the horizon as usual, and the posi-
!tion of the pole had altered five and
twenty or more degrees, the arctic
circle therefore moving downwards.
The .phertomenon was entirely dif-
ferent to aurora borealis, and the
cause remains an absolute mystery.
It was sin though a 4.1-021/11,1411110-10,41-41*W1-
