She rang the bell of her, bowie in Curzon street, To her eurprise soldierly looking man in a dark uniform epened the door, " What ie this?" she exclaimed. "Is Lord Helderewood here ?'' "1 suppose 80. mien You are invited to the luncheon ? Indies bake their bonnets off up there." He pointed up moire, in the direction of her own bedroom. Sae passed him, mend- ing quickly. Though not melody in diaorder the apartment lacked its motel expiate neatneee. Boman, shawls, cloaks and um- brellas ler e thrown upon the bed anti sofas. A very Allont eoung person with yellow hair, blue oyes and black eyebrows wen standing at the dressing table powdering her fore. head. Cincinnati paused in the doorway e looking at her. "Come in I Dan't be shy 1" ejaoulated the stout young person in e, good natured voice. " Is this the first time you've been here?" answered Oinoinneti, entering the room and ringing the bell. "1 don't think there are auy femtele ear. vents in the house," remarked the other. "The mistress ia away or. else "—with a laugh—a. we ehouldn't be here, should we ? You are the new American actress, aren't you ?" .1 Ne, .From the studios then? Well, I'll eee •you down stairs. Ta, ta." The noise of laughter and loud talking gushed forth from the room below as the stout young person flume open the door. Men in black coats and white gloves, the shabby gentility of the confectioners' service, moved bade and forward through the hall hurriedly, serving so luncheon of many °our. see Cori Conover's voioe arose in song, at the end of each of whose steamers a vigorous chorus was intoned by the numerous com- pany. Presently Lord Helderswood came out, "Gilbert I Gilbert!" cried Cincinnati, in a choking voioe. "Come to me; come 1" In an instant he had bounded up the stairs. "Why, what in the world brought you here?" he exclaimed. "I was so lonely without you. I was dying to see my dear husband—I—" she burst into tears and leaned her head on his shoulder. "There, there," he said petulantly. I hate tears. Don't take on so. Jove, Sissy, you're frightfully in the way here. Yon must gat out of this at once. Captain Conover is giving a luncheon party.' "In our house ?" "Yee: Why not? He orders in the bread -from the annfactionern, and we are out of tame." "I am, yon are not. Where are the servants ?" "I discharged the cook for insolence to Captain Conover and the housemaid has gone home ill. I've got in an army pension- er to take care of the place. Come, Sissy, you must return to the country. Let me get you a cab to take you to the station." "Qh come, I say ?" exclaimed a voice. "This' is 'ardly fair, you know, my Lord, leaving rae like *ha ?" It was the stout young person with yellow "Yes," replied Cincinnati. "Indeed I" exclaimed Helderewoocl. "I had not heard of it." "I was going to tell you It was thin morning in the train. And mother—how is mother, Unole Napoleon ?" " Well, she ain't a bib smart, Cinsunnater ain't been since you left. I ain't way up nuther, Sis. You wouldn't believe it, but I ain't first claese" Lord Helderswood said hewould believe it. "Your mar wants you to make her a visit, Sis—a loeg visit. She's boarding now; you know." "Boarding!" exclaimed Lady Heiden - wood, Where's her house ?" "Oh, that eves sold at the time of your marriage—along wieh everything else." Lord Helderewood got up and took his hab. "You look kinder peaked," saicl Uncle Neopolcon to his Meoe's husband. Ain't you feeling good ?" Helderswood did not trouble hinaself to reply. Nodding slightly to both he abruptly loft the room. Hurrying to Curzon street he found the small house lately so trill of boisterous life, now quite deserted. Even the remains of the repast had vanished, oonveyed away by the thralin of the confeationer. Of Captain Conover there was eto trace. Beyond doubt the gay dog was off at some other merry. making. An inexpressible Beene of desola. don fell upon Gilbert Helderswood. The knowledge, deathly in its bitterness, that all life's jays had been tasted, that nothing re- mained for nim to disoover except sorrow, needed his mind with despair. His wife --ah, how every object in the dainty bowie recalled her sweetness, of mind and form ! 'Twits here, on this very spot, she stood in her court train the day of her presentation—a pioture for an artist's brush, ix ever Ruch there were! Was it thus, or in her gown she looked the more,bewitehing ? What had happened toanest between these so fondly !owing two a deep, an ominous shad. ow? Was it Uncle Napoleon, that gro- tesque man with the grizzled chin beard? Or was it a stout young parson, equally aa grotesque, with yellow hair? He returned to the hotel and found Cin- oinnati alone, trying to read a book. His mind was in a tumult. His words oame tur- bulently. "Madam I" So he addressed her, cut- tingly. "1 require an explanation of this Monroe affeir." How often have you seen him lately ?" "Once." "Shall you see him again ?" "1 cannot say." "Then I earl say for you. Yon shall not see him again 1" "No ?" "No, neither him, nor your uncle; that most incomprehensible specimen of an uncle for a lady." " Gilbert ?" pleadingly. "Neither your uncle nor yosir mother" "Oh, Gilbert, what are you saying ?" she shrieked. "I exercise my authority," he oried, feed- ing his anger with fuel from his own excited mind. "Von will pay your mother no visit. Yon will relinquish all affiliation with the members of your family. 1 should die with shame if Lady Beanlemore were to meet this hair. Helderewood shot an angry glance at man Jones—Napoleon Jones. She shall not her and she turned and fled. meet him—nor shall yon. These are my corn - Lady Efelderswood was in a distraoted mends to you, Madam—remember. them! state of mind. Obviously she could not re- main in a house so tenanted. Despite her hueband's command her tears flowed on. Gilbert paced the floor angrily, A torrent of laughter was heard raging below. Con Conover was telling a capital story, one of the most irresistibly amusing of his exten- sive collection. Helderewood became more and more furious at his enforced exclusion from the audition. Stopping short in his march he looked angrily in his wife's eyes and muttered, "I desire you to return to the country." "I desire to remain in town," she replied, rising. "I shall go to a hotel." She descended the stairs quickly. Throw- ing open the front door she precipitated her- self almost into the arms of an elderly man, weariug a grizzled chin beard, Arabic over- shoes and a sealskin cap. "Cineunnater I" he exclaimed. "Uncle Nappleon V' Thereupon ensued a great handshaking, and a resounding kiss, and a confused inter- mingling of affectionate inquiries. "Come in, come is 1" cried Cinoinnati, forgetting in her pleasure the recent dis- turbance. Lord Helderswood sauntered to- wards them, his hands on his hips. "How do, Mr.Lord ; I mean Mister Held. erawud," said Uncle Napolesn. "Wal, Cite. sunnater," he continued, (II guess I will come in. I want to etake off my gums." "Your what ?" staked Helderswood, in as- tonishment. "These here gum shoes is drawin' my feet like a blister. Guess you've got your Janu- ary thaw on, haven't you? Things ie kinder mixed in the wether line in this country, ain't they?" and he berm to disburden him. self of his overcoat in the hallway. Roars of laughter and a great jingling of glasses came forth from the newly opened door of the dining room. Con Conover was on his feet =eking one of his witty after . the ban- ner speeches. "Oh, ah 1" stammered His Lordship, "we were jusb going out. Lady Helderewood has run up to town to—ah—to see her dress- maker., The painters and the plasterers are nthe house—" ' "Hear, hear 1" and the pounding of knife handles from the dining room. "They ser in to be having an all -fired good CHAPTER XL It was rather odd that Con Conover, atdinner at one of the Piccadilly reataur. ants that night, should have hit upon a subject of discourse which of all others was most unpleasant to the hearing of Gilbert Helderswood. The French philoeophers, averred the jaunty Captain, derived suoh knowledge el human nature as they poi. sessed sole y from the study of womankind. In a subdued but charmingly melodious voice he hummed the,French xefraae Et Von revient toujonrs .a. les remieres amourst "Grillie, lad," observed the Captain, " 'tie only women return to the first love. How the deuce weldea matt remember when was his first love ? Mine, I think.—but am not quite sure—was my nurse. I promised to maery her when I became a man. That was my dry nurse. How I compromised myself with web nurse I cannot say—certainly not by word of month. Perhaps I pledged my- self to her with my eyes before I proceeded to my libations." About midnight Hilderswood set out for Curzon street. As the night was olear'he was walking, when to his extreme surprise he saw his wife pass him in a four wheel ottb. Her face was veiled with a fall of dove colored gossamer, but he recognized her beyond dispute. As she whirled on. ward, unooneciors of his proximity, he rush- ed after her, and thug ran on and on, follow- ing her cab like a London cadger eager for a job, She entered the Bloomsbury quarter, and had time to alight, to dismiss her conveyance and to enter a, building in a gloomy street before he could reach the iipot. The door was closed behind her as he arrived on the doorstep. A gas jet, lowered to the utter. most limit, displayed, however, by its faint flicker a name painted over the fanlight of the building—Lafayette House. A heavy knocker was on the door, Gilbert banged it thrice. An ill favored hobbledehoy put his head ont ,of the door, like a nut between nut- crackers; "I want to 800 Lady Helderswood," said makingfor the rear gate of the 144141 Col- lege ROM elle Were employed there, Or in any otber place In the street, . there °mild be no.chance.of his leetnipg maytiang of her eonnerning the inneateit Lafayette Hoitee In London it'pat',O.

Usable tobear longer his uncertainty re. garding her destination Helderswood hurried up, passing Lafayette Houses, and spoke to her, "I say," he began. "Keep your distance," retorted she, 'Marra, ly. "I'm a respectable girl." She Untied a comely finte towards him, on which some twenty owners had set their pleasant atamp. Her °lathing was miser. ably poor, but there was a olear Iterht in her hazel eyes whittle corroborated the werds she had so proudly uttered. "Just listen to me a minute, will you, my good girl ?" paid Helderawood, excitedly. "Do you live hero ?" "What's thet to you ?" retorted she, in- serting her latohkey in the look at Lafayette House, "Let me in with you, will you ?" "Never," she cried. "Police 1" Thegtobbledehoy made his appearance. "What's up 7' he inquired. The ghe ran in, Atter a few minutes' perky Helderswood found thee! the lad could see the force of an argument whittle was illustrated by the light of gold. His heart throbbed painfully as he amended the stairs. His breath oame in quiok gasps. "A hat does a jealous rnan want to find out? That which of all things he does not wish to know. CHAPTER VII. The room in which he was told the lady was to be found was at the very top of the house. Even before he entered it this man knew that hie wife was there. A faint odor of wood violet athwart the still, the perfume whose fragrance was wont to linger about her dainty apparel and in her beauteous hair. He put his:shoulder against the door ex. peoting a redraw°, but there was none. The door fell open noiselessly, disclosing a room whose furniture was of the poorest and whose stainer' carpet was almost threadbare. A curtained bed was in a corner and by its side hovered Cincinnati. "Lady Helderswood 1" he cried, rngrily. She started in surprise and nulled to him. "Gilbert, Gilbert!" she exclaimed. "Yon are here ?You have followed me ?" "I have 1" in a deep and terrible voioe. "1 have infringed your command," she wept, sinking on her knees. "Forgive me ! Forgive me! I have oorne to eee my raother, Gilbert; my poor old mother 1" "Your—mother 1" he repeated, with wide, staring eyes. He allowed her without residence to lead hira to the bed, on whiola lay the form of her mother, whose earthly lace was paha- ably near its oloee. • An &widens in the streets " whispered Sissy. "She came over to England to see me, but did nob want me to see her, because she lived inamoh a pooreplace and was so 111. dressed. She was knocked down and inter. ugly injured. Uncle Napoleon telegraphed me late to -night." Jones and a surgeon entered from an ad- oiniiig room. The gloom of the tragedy hung over both like a pall. The dying woman opened her eyes and saw Gilbert. "My dear, good son 1" she whispered, endeavoring to extend to him her poor crush. ed hand. The young mien lifted the bandaged fing- ers to his lips and kilned them reverently, Then the floodgates of remorse fell open and he wept. Relined in the Christian faith, taught fro& his earliest youth that nobility of birth could receive no tarnish so blackening as wickedness of heart, he saw, as those of old saw, the writing on the wall, the humiliat- ing reoord of his own ill deeds. The poor woman who lay dying there, old and illiter- ate as she was, had been nob less to Gilbert Helderswood than an angelic spirit, yielding to the wanderer within the gates of the far Western city almost every materiel advent - age she possessed that he might creed the golden path of dalliance with a wife as fair as bonds by his side. How had he repaid this kindnees ? By disdain, by contumely, by rank injustice 1 No wound ere deep as that inflioted by reproaching conscience. Its enguish caused new tears to flow. "Don't mind me, sonny," gasped the p'oor old sufferer, selneffaeing, generous to the very last. "Only be happy, be look', you and Sis 1" The morning broke cold and sullen; but while dark clouds veiled the sun's face in the eastern sky within that squalid chamber there shone the supernal light of death. Helderawood'e character was elevated by this sad experience. To his deep love for his wife were joined respect and confidence. Her affeetion for him became a sort of hero worship; especially was this observed when another Gilberb came to lie upon her lap and fondly nestle to her heart.

FIVE WEMIS ON A BURNING. SHIP. A Tale to Slake liscollIdea. rare! aleart4 grew The Tnman Cita of New York, froln New York, araived at Quenetown the other morning wible particulars the arrival at Rio de Janeiro on the 28511 of the Lon. OM steamer Para hunt, 1,538 tone, with her cargo on fire, and her commander and saver. al of the crew disabled from the severe benne received in endeavoring to extinguirde the fire, which raged during the greater . part of the voyage from Hull to Rio de iTanetro. The fire was firat diecovered on Maroh 23, and in a short thne had stoat hold of the yes- sel that Capt. Robertson believed she was doomed to destruction, and had the lifeboats gob out and provisioned. Everything that could be Mine to extinguish the Ore was done; hut, despite the best efforts of the orew, the fire spread through the cargo, and soon the sides of the vessel above the water became red hot, and the decks could only be walked on by spreading wet sane on them and keep. Ing them continually saturated. Holes were made in the deoh, and high-preseure steam from the donkey boiler was imected on the blazing cargo with good resule. Water was alsu pumped in, in large quantities: but on the 25511 the fire agave increased anti reach- ed the coal bunkers. For two days and nighta the crew worked hard to remove the coal Severalof themen beinglrenderedinsen. eible by the suffooatingeneoke and intense heat had to be carried on deck, For three days the cabin was rendered uninhabitable, and four of the orew had a narrow escape from suffocation in the forecastle. Several times the orew thought they would be driven to abandon the vessel; but, en- couraged by the commander, whp was fore. most in fighting the flames, they managed to stand by the ship, and auoceeeded in taking her into Rio de Janeiro, the cargo being theta still in flames. Capt. Robertson and seven of the crew were badly burned and alniost blinded, and it is believed that most of the 3,000 tons of cargo is destroyed by fire and water. The Brazilian Government have de. oided to present a gold medal to Capt. Rob- ertson, in recognition of his bravery and skill. Seed on the Atlantic. The first steamer that ever crossed the Atlantic was the "Savannah,” whioh sailed from the Southern city whose name she bore, and reaohed Liverpool twenty-five days later. This was 1819. She dependel on her sails more than on her engines, how- ever, and when the wind was favorable, and all her canvas could be spread, her paddle -wheels were hauled on deok and folded up like an umbrella ! It can be im- agined that she was very little like an ocean steamer of the present day, and her amass was so questionable that when she returned to the United States, her engines were taken out of her, and she was converted into a sailingothip, Nineteen years later, after other experi- ments, it had been demonstrated that steam navigaotion was a practicable thing, and a regular line of steamers was eatablished between Eogland and America. One .of those steamers was the Great Western, which made seventy voyages across the ocean. The quickest of these voyages was accompliehed in twelve days and seven hours. From that time to this there has been a constant effort, stimulated by competition and by improvements in machinery, to lessen the duration of the voyage. The old side -wheel, or paddle, steamers were a ban. doned about fourteen years • ago, and the modern type of Vessel is the screw propeller. The most recent steamers are " twin screws " ; that is to say, instead of having one propeller, each steamer hat two, and in this way it is expected that a high power can be utilized. The twin screws are also an element of safety, since each screw is worked bye. separate engine, and should one engine be disabled, the other would have power enough to propel the ship into porb. The distance from New York to Queens'. town is about twenty-eight hundred miles, and up to 1880 the fattest paseage was a little over seven days, which was made by the Arizona. Sinee then it has been smarm- ively reduced by the Alaska, the city of Rome, the Servia, the Oregon, the Umbria, the Etruria, e,nd the City of Paris. For several years the Ebruria has stood at the head of the list, her best record being six days, one hour and fifty-five minutes. Bun the City of Paris surpassed this in her last trip from Queenstown which was made in five days, twenty-three hours and seven minutes. The endeavor to increase the speed has necessarily led to an increase in the size of the ships also. The "Great Weetern" mea- sured thirteen hunderd and forty tons • the She "City of"Paris," the most recent addiition to the Atlantic fleet, and the fastest ship in the world, measures ten thousand five hund- red tons. On her trial trip, about three months ago, ehe developed a speed of over twenty knots an hour, in maintaning which she bum over three hundred tons of coal daily. Six naagnificont new steamers' will be in service this summer, and before the end of the year, it is expected by some who are ex- pert! in such rattan, that "the fastest pass- age on record" will be not much more than five days and a half. This will be equal to the average time made by a railway train be- tween San Franoisco and New York, or a speed of more than twenty-one nautical miles an houre—equivale.nt to twenty-four and a 'sixth English miles, ---throughout the voyage. , An impressive illustration of the siguiff canoe of so high a rate of speed was given by Sir Frederick Bramwell in a recent ad- dress. Suppose that men, inetead of steam, were employed, as in an ancient galley, in propelling such a Blazes the City of Paris, She number required would be two hundred and thirty-four thousand, working in watches of half that ,number eaob, Of course it would be 'impossible to carry such a number in any vessel, but if it were possible, still their united efforts could not give her a speed of twenty knots. ,.'eStouive Seat Red Motareti," 'ma Uncle She plunged onevard in ouch desperate, it mere of tintes and ran him off before lie Dlepoleme, after it patient haste that het obierver faneled oho must ijoiootild arrange to gather, pacik • a eee neaaae,.a.aeaenteeeeeeeeadaonaeeene;eseeeeeeeenoene noeneenne: e eeneeneeneeneennennenee, nee ne for Infants and Children. to well adapted to children that ettasterla earesegolic, CdnellPhentir recommend It an superior** any preseriptiOn tier& StOrnaell vicrahcaa, Etuotation.
