A Wallace, Idaho, despatch says; A nettle took place at the 'Frisco gold mine at the town ef Gem this morning between union, miners and nornunien miners. The fight lasted for several hours. Four men • were haled. Among the killed are Gies Carleson and Harry Cummings, union men. The other two were guards at the mines. The 'Frisco mine was blown up during the Aght, and is a complete wreck. After. the 13101 was blown up the non-union men in the • 'Frisco mine hung out a flag of truce, hos- Unties ceased, and about sixty men sur- rendered. The men are now under guard at the Miners' Union headquarters at the town of Gem. A rumor is current that twenty of the aron-union miners were killed in the Frisco mill when that structure was destroyed with dynamite thia morning, It is helps - risible as yet to obtain confirmation of the 'report. The etrained situation in the Cceur d'Alene labor troubles culminated this morning between five and six o'clock. The events of the day previous consisted of cballengee from non-union men at the airisco and Gem mines to the union miners at the town of Gem, and all seemed to indicate a speedy rupture. Both the Gem and 'Frisco mines were guarded by men behind barricades with Wiuchesters, and as the canyon is narrow where the mines are located, the men behind the barricades could sweep the two railroad tracks and the cotintry with bullets. The Gem mine bar- ricade is within three hundred feet a the centre of the town of Gem. This morning at five o'clock a miner from Gem started for Burke. When opposite the 'Frisco mine he was fired upon. He ran back several hun- dred yards to Gem where the shot had been beard, and soon le miners in the town gathered with arms. They marched in a body towards the 'Frisco mill, located directly in front of the mine. When scarcely within rifle range a volley from the 'Frisco mill greeted the miners, and lead whistled all about them. They scattered, and a regular battle ensued. One miner and one non-union man were killed and six wounded during the engagement. The zniaers in the meantime went around the hills up the canyon above the mine, loaded a car with seven hundred and fifty pounds of giant powder, and sent the oar down the track toward the 'Frisco mine. Directly in front of the mill an explosion took place, shattering the mill to splinters, reeking it complete wreck. The non-union men then showed the white flag and surrendered. !they were marohed down to the miners' union hall and guarded, no indignities being offered after the surrender. While the fight was going on at 'Frisco the guards suddenly began firing volley after volley into the town of Gem, riddling the buildings with bullets. John Ward, a citizen, was shot through the arm, and Gus Carlson, a union miner, was shot and killed. Attempts to recover Carlson's body were met with volleys from the Gem breastwork, and when the body was recovered an hour afterward it was lifeless, another bullet having been sent through the breast. No Shots were returned from Gem until the armed miners from 'Frisco, half a mile above, returned. The cause of the strike was the demand of the union miners of the district for $3.50 per day for every man working under- ground. The mine owners held that un- skilled laborers should be paid only $3. When the miners refused to accept the scale the mines were closed. The lock -out was begun April 1st by the Mine Owners' A' ssociation and 3,000 miners were thrown out of work. wild Mawr THIS COUPLE? Husband and Wife Likely to Die of Shot Wound s and Poison. A Grand Rapids, Mich., despatch says: J. C. Quinsey, a prominent attorney here, Is dying from the effects of narcotic poison- ing, and has a bullet wound in the head, while his wife is at the hospital probably fatally wounded, with two bullet wounds in her forehead. Last night the neighbors were alarmed by hearing pistol -slots in the house, and on breaking open the doors ran to the chamber where the shots were heard. Mrs. Quinsey was at the window with her head out and unconscious and a trail of blood showed where she had her bed and walked to where she was found. Quinsey was on the 'bed, and on the table near by were found the chamber door key, with a trace of blood on it, and a paper labelled sulphuric acid. The revolver was found on the lawn under the window. The man's wound was slight, but the poison had taken effect. He was a victim of the chloral habit, and for three months past his mind has been deranged. The theory ill that he did the shooting, but the positions of the door - key and revolver are against it. WAS IT GAS? A Mysterious Explosion Wrecks a Building and Injures the Occupants. A Newark, N. J., despatch says: There was an explosion at noon to -day in the large produce house of Quinn Bros., at 22 Com- merce street, in this city, which seriously If not fatally injured Joseph Schroat, aged 19 years; George Behringer, aged 23; and Benjamin Morehouse, jun., all of whom were employed in the store. Schroat went into the cellar to get some butter from a storage room. Behringer and Morehouse were also in the cellar. Schroat lighted a match, and instantly there was an explosion which was heard a block away. The first Boor of the building was torn up and wrecked, and the three men were thrown against the stone wall with great violence. Bartlett 3. Quinn, one of the members of the firm, and Abraham. DaViE3'bOOkkepeOr, Who were in the office, were thrown from their chairs and severely bruised. John McCann, the cashier, was thrown violently against the safe and seriously injured.

A Londoo cable says: A despatch from Fez states that on Friday last, duriug the Mohammedan new year feast, British Vice - Consul MacLeod and a dragoman left' 13eitish Minister Smith's. house in erder to Piave the TJnion Jack on the Consulate, A bashaw incited some idlers to etone them, and compelled MacLeod to return to the legation. Viscount Vismes di Ponthieu, the firet dragoman of the British mission, rode to the residence of Sid Ghana, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the pur- pose of obtaining an interview with re- gard to the matter, but he was refused an audience. On his return, to the legretion Viscount Viernes was stoned, and slightly wounded. The English Mission was subsequently surrounded by a howling mob of fully 5,000 persons, who remained throughout the after- noon. The mob threw stones into the gar- den surrounding the mission buildings and eeverely beat the soldiers on guard. About 6 o'clock in the evening Sultan Muley Hassan, learning of the outrages, sent to Minister Smith the Divan, with Minister of Foreign Affairs Sid Grharnit at its head, ac- companied by thirty viziers, the Privy Coun- cillors, a body guard of blacks, and ten leading nobles who led the Divan. Thehonorhas never before been paid a diplomat in lVforocoo. The Divan besought Minister Smith to visit the Sultan. The Minister acceded, and the whole party escorted him to the palace, where he had an audience with the Sultan, lasting three hours. At the end of that time Minister Smith emerged triumphantly, having true - °ceded in obtainjng all the satisfaction cie inanded. The Sultan agreed to insert in the commercial treaty between England and Morocco clauses permitting all foreigners to acquire and hold land absolutely unre- strieted, and reduoing the export duty on wheat from 75 cents to 40 cents per fanega. The Sultan then sent the peened governor of Fez to prison for a year, imposing the extra punishment on the culprit of wearing chains during his imprisonment. The bashaw who urged the mob to stone British Consul MacLeod and the dragoman were fined $10,000, the whole sum being given to the mission insulted. The heehaw went afoot and placed the money at Minis- ter Smith's feet. He swore on the Koran that he had not incited the riot. Next his pseuds were flogged before the palace. The bashaw in the same manner apologized to Vice -Consul McLeod and Viscount Vismes di Ponthieu. Minister Smith donated the money to the poor of Fez, and rewarded his faithful soldierand servants. Minister Smith also mediated for the insulted Americans, Messrs. Bonsai and Chamber. The Sultan sent them a personal letter of apology, and also sent a letter of regret to the *American Government at Washington. Ten of the, soldiers who were among those who menaced Bonsai were flogged. Bonsai's wounded servants were rewarded with money. The Sultan also sent Messrs. Bonsai. and Chamber Barbary stallions and silver -sheathed swords,and provided an escort of honor to conductthem to the coast. The commercial treaty with England as drafted by Minister Smith was signed on Saturday. AN OHIO TORN.A.40 Destroys $200,000 Worth of Property and Kills 'Two Men. A Springfield, Ohio, despatch says: The most destructive tornado whioh ever visited this section of the country struck the south- eastern portion of the city—the resi- dent portion—this morning at 11 o'clock, and completely demoralized about thiebr residences and partially ruined over a hun- dred more. But two persons are possibly fatally injured, but the loss in property is appalling. A conservative estimate places the loss at between $150,000 and $200,000. The tornado was fully a mile long from west to east and three blocks wide. It first struck the fair grounds in the west- ern part of the city, hurled itself along in a • southeasterly direc- tion, taking a house here and there, until it struck the corner of South Lime- stone street and Euclid avenue, three-quar- ters of a mile away, where the destructive monster came to the ground and literally demolished an entire block, all residences. It then lifted and passed over the city in a northeasterly direction'hurling down a house here and there. The scene of the greatest destruction in the block imme- diately east of South Limestone street is appalling. Scarcely half a dozen houses are left standing. Everything is utter, hopeless ruin. The entire police force of the city has been ordered to the scene of the rums, and the mayor has ordered out the Champion City Guard and Battery E to preserve order and prevent vandalism. Thousands are viewing the awful destruction this evening, and a meeting of citizens is being held in the City Hall to devise means to aid the homeless people. Fully thirty families are absolutely ruined. THE HATED OCTROI. . — A. Spanish 'Uprising Against the Burdett. some system. A Madrid cable says: There is wide- spread rioting in Spain against the octroi duties. At Solve, in the Province of Tarragona, the octroi offices were burned to -day by a mob. The collector and the employees of the offices when they rushed from the burning building were stoned, and several of them were badly injured. The rioters, flushed with their success at the octroi offices, made an attack upon the Town Hall and carried it by storm. The Mayor fled, but was wounded by the rioters. The niob took full possession of the building, forced open the safes and destroyed many documents. The police were powerless, and the troops were called upon to suppress the disorders. The rioters allowed an inclination to resist the soldiers, but the latter fired upon them, killing several and wounding many more. A LOST AFRONAIIT. Strong Air Currents s Carry Him Beyond Vision. A San Diego, Cal., despatch says B. j. Woodward, the Ventura fanner, who has for several Weeks been preparing to make a balloon journey to New York, nia.de an as - 'cent yesterday in the presence of several hundred people. The balloon shot up like a rocket to agreat height. He soon struck a current of air that moved the balloon rapidly toward the ocean. Woodward thew out his edibles, balled and everything else except his anchor. The balloon finally 'struck n current of air whith bore him rapidly inland and he direeppeared from view. The observer says Woodward struck a cur- rent a air having about 25 Mike velocity, and he thinks WoOdward will never be heard of again. A thOusand children are born in London workhouses yearly. THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOREBS, Olose of the International Convention in New Zork, MEET IN CLEVELAND NEXT 'YEAR. A New York despatch saps: Missionary morning, as the third day's session of the Christian Endeavor is celled, opeoed at 6.30 with a prayer mooting conducted by E. S. Miller, of Portland, Oregon, President of the Oregon Christian Endeavor Union. At 9 o'clock the large hall was again filled with delegates, The regular order of sing, ing and prayer and Bible reading was pur- sued. Rev. Josiah Strong, Secretary of the Evangelical Alliance, addressed the meeting on the subject, "Our Own Country for Christians," The bTovainating Committee of the convention, appointed by the Presi- dent, reported the nominations of yam - presidents of the International Society for the ensuing year. The report of the Board of Directors regarding the site for the convention of 1894 was given. There were three invitations received, from San Fran- cisco, Denver and Cleveland. The Chair- man said it had been deeided to award the honor to Cleveland. Loud cheering fol- lowed, and the whole Cleveland contingent started up their rally song, "Cleveland, '94," composed by Miss Jessie H. Brown, to the tune of "ringing in the Sheaves." The Denver and San Francisco delegates joined in the chorus. The meeting was concluded by a duet entitled "We Shall Meet Beyond the River By -and -bye," by Mr, Sankey and Mr. Stebbins, with echo by the choir of 500 and from different parts of the hall. Dr. Noble, of Chicago, closed with prayer. The special meeting of the delegates, which was called for this afternoon regarding tbe closing of the World's Fair on Sunday to take action for the adoption of a plan for "conditional non-attendance" at the fair, was opened by H. R. Cody, of Chicago, but at the request of the Board of Trustees of the International Convention, who asked that action be de- ferred until after final adjournment of the convention, no definite action was taken. The vioe-presidents chosen by the con- vention include the, following Canadians; Joseph Ball, Manitoba; E. A. Hardy, On- tario; George R. Lighthall, Quebec; and Rev. T. F. Fotheringham, Maritime Union. To -day's morning session of the Christian Endeavorera in Madison Square Garden consisted of a prayer meeting conducted by H. B. Pennell, of Boston. The rest of the morning was spent in attending regular divine service throughout the different churches of the city. The weather of the afternoon, though extremely warm, did not deter the faithful delegates from filling the garden to its full limit, about 15,000 dele- gates comprised this sweltering mass of humanity. The usual course of religious exercises opened the afternoon session. The first proceeding was brief reports from "Committee Conferences." G. T. Fer- • guson, Toronto, reported for the Bestial Committee. Ira D. Sankey addreesed the meeting on "Christian Endeavor in Eng- land.' LEADERS ClIARGRa WITH MURDER. I MI III PR ••• Warrants for the Arrest of Homestead Strikers Sworn Out. A Pittsburg despatch says This after- noon information was made before Alderman lefcMasters for murder against Hugh O'Donnell, John McLuckie' Syl. Sritchlaw, Anthony Flaherty, SamuelBerkett, James Flannagan and Hugh Roes. These men are all leaders of the strike at Homestead, and they are charged with the murder of T. 3. Connors and Silas Wayne, two of the Pink- erbon men killed in the riots. The Beaver Falls employees of the Car- negies kept their threat and did not go to work to -day. Consequently the mill did not resume. Many of the strikers think the move made last Friday was not wise, and admit this, but remain firm in their deter- mination to adhere to the stand taken. The union mills' strikers continue to claim that the men at work will be forced to quit as soon as the material on hand is worked off, and that then both mills willbe closed down completely. A despatch from Duquesne says an amal- gamated lodge will be formed there this evening, and the men employed there will strike to morrow, The Homestead steel works' strike has indirectly caused the indefinite suspension of the Braddock wire works' plant at Rankin station, and some 600 more men are out of work. The mills, nail, rod, barbed wire and wire -drawing departments have all closed down, owing to a lack of steel billets to make wire rods, etc. It is said all the Winchesters of the Pin- kertons have been taken out of Allegheny county and are being atored somewhere. Legal advice will be taken as to their die postal. SAVED A BOOR AGENT. A Farmer's Wife Shoots an Angry Ball in Pursuit of Ilim. Mrs. Carrie Holmes, who lives about a mile from Kincaid, Mo., saved the life of a book agent in a remaikable manner last week. The man was going from house to house selling his books, and in order to shorten the distance went across lots, and in doing so entered the field of James Wat- son, where there was a ViOl0118 bull known all over the country as a man -killer. George Johnson, the book agent, saw the bull, but paid little attention to his demon- strations until the enraged animal was so close upon him that he had little hope for escape. Etedroppedhiabooksand wentyelling for the fence, but the bull closed upon him and was just about to strike him with his horns when Johnson stumbled and fell, the animal passing on and turning to attack him as he lay. Just at this moment Mrs. Holmes, who had heard the yelling of Johnson, appeared on the scene with a rifle and as the bull charged on the unfortunate man she fired, the ball taking effect in the brute's head and dropping him within ten feet of where Johnson lay. Mrs. Holmes was fully a hundred yards away when she fired, and is being congratulated on all sides for her good shot. She has been handling a rifle for many years and is considered one of the beet, shots in the vicinity, but this is the first time that she hail been able to demonstrate that it is advieable for women to learn how to handle weapons.

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES IN IDAHO Men Hung to Trees and Their EntrailS Torn Olat, STRIKERS DESTRO3rING BRIDGES. A Spokane, WW1., despatch says A special eorresponclent was warned by the etrikera to leave Wallace last night. He was offered protection by Cant, Judd, in command there, but after coneultation with friends concluded it was best to leave. ee telephone message from Wallace says a loud exploeion has been heard in the direction of the Granite mine, two miles away. It is thought by the owner, Van de la Schou% that it has been blown up. Troops are on route to the scene. Foreman Monaghan, of the Gem mine, who was reported slain in a fight near Old Miesion, is safe. He ran for his life and plunged into the Liver and swam it. After lying in the bushes for two days he made his way to Cucer d'Alene City. A Wallace, Idaho, despatch says: A re- porter from Spokane, who arrived here last night, (A ays he came direct from the Fourth of July canyon and flaw two MOD with their intestines cut out and hanging to a tree. He thinks several were hung up in another ravine. Reliable information is difficult to obtain The that the granite mine had been blown up probably etarted from the report of the explosion, when several bridges were destroyed. The military investment of all the towns is complete. No one is allowed to go out without a pass. It is probable that many of the union miner e will be ar- rested to -morrow. Two'railroied bridges near Mullane were blown up last night, and with them several • telegraph poles, The strikers also out down a number of poles thus rahutting off cone, munication by that route for a time. The Gem and Granite minesare all right. THE YOUNGEST BRITISH SOLDIER. Me ler Less Than Fifteen, But Very Well Built. The youngest soldier in the British army, Private Detries, aged 14i years, is a fine child for his age. He is close upon 5 feet 5 inches in height, with a chest measurement of 33 inches, and weighs 126 pounds. It is no wonder'therefore, that the military authorities should have enlisted him with- out a demur when he told them that he was over 18. His father now seeks to have him discharged on account of his tender years, but the War Office, not unreasonably, holds that the onus lies upon him to prove that his son is the /taus naturce he would make him out. In other words the condi- tion of his discharge is the production of a certificate of age—and very right. Notes for deny Makers. Allow jelly to stand open twenty-four hours before sealing. Paste another paper over the top, and keep in a cool, dry place. Pour melted paraffine over the top, or place a paper dipped in. brandy over Always use a porcelain lined or agate kettle to boil both the fruit and jelly in, and wooden or agate spoons for stirring. Always cover the fruit closely and cook slowly before straining, using only enough water to prevent burning or to cook the larger fruits evenly. Wipe off plums cook with the skins on, and allow as much sugar as for grapes, if they are of a sour variety. Very little water • is required to cook them. Currants should be washed, a few at a time, and drained on a towel, before they • are picked from the stems. Allow a pound of sugar to each pint of juice. After boiling the fruit, turn it into the linen bag—which has been previously soaked in hot water—and hangit to drip where there is no draft of air to cool it rapidly. Grapes should be ready to turn when made into jelly. Wash, remove from the stems and cook with the skins on. Use one and one-fourth pounds of sugailor every pint of juice. ' Never squeeze the bag with the hands. Move the fruit from one side to the other and press against the sides with two sticks or spoons, but on no other consideration wring with the hands. Except in the case of quinces, boil the juice twenty minutes. Have the sugar heat- ing in the oven during this operation. After adding the hot sugar to the puce bring to a boil for three minutes. Large Siberian crabapples' are better flavored than small ones. Rub the apples, remove the stem and blossom end, cut up and cook with the seeds in. Allow three- fourths or one pound of sugar to each pint, as you prefer. , Use granulated or loaf sugar and fruit that is under rather than over ripe. Have a strong brown linen crash bag to strain the fruit through and a, piece of cheese cloth to strain the bot jelly through when ready to put in the molds. Red raspberries make a delicious flavored jelly, but it will not be firm enough to re- tain its shape unless one-third their weight of currants is added. Use the same amount of sugar as for currants. Neither will peaches make a firm jelly, but none is more delicate for cake, puddings and the like. les make peach jelly rub off the down with a dry cloth,add one-third of the pits and the grated rind of one lemon for every quart of juice, after it is cut in quarters. After dripping add the juice of one lemon for every quart of fruit juice. Allow one pound of sugar for every pint of juice. No jelly has a more delicious flavor than quinces, but it will not be firm if the fruit has been at all frosted. Rub off the down, cut out the blossom end and cut up the halt, but do not pare or remove the seeds, unless you wish a light colored jelly, when you must discard the seeds and boil the juice ten minutes longer.

The Romance of a l'isherman'o Daughter and a Fatal Mistake. ()ROSS the marsh, glowed in summer luxuriee the vivid green- ery of trolling grapevines, of bright•leaxecl birches'of gloasy oaks, They clung. to the rooky ledges with the permstency of all green life thet thrusts its roots in • New England soil. Cottages of summer pleasure -seekers dotted the rough elevation, gleaming among trees eyd gray rodeo. The flat !Salt marsh lay always the same between the beaoh and the country road, stretching its acres of damp, green and slimy water, treacherous as the sea and not half ;so beautiful. Here on the beach at high tide mark walks a girl. She is alone. The girl is probably twenty-two or three. She is not dressed in the retarding long skirts, but in a short beech or mountain dress, whose blue folds reach only a little below her kuee, giving place to the full trousers. A low, western sun was pouring over everything the warm, yellow splendor that seems more entirely beautiful on the coast. It flooded in beauty the little low, dark wooden house that stood on the and between the beach and the marah, and which was the home of Marion Logan. She turned from the beao'n where strolled the strangers, her: lips taking on a scorn- ful smile as she saw approaching the insipid Everard, who for two months had paid unremitting court to the fisherman's daughter. Marion had no mind to have the delicious sunset spoiled by his prattle, and she said, with a cold decision : I prefer to be alone to -night, Mr. Everard." He had nothing more to do but lift his hat and allow her to walk on. Is the world of wealth and cultivation like that ?" Marion asked herself, as she walked slowly on along a path that curved by the edge of the marsh, the rank, coarse gram sweeping her feet with its rough edges. She had forgotten Everard and the gay company on the beach. Her eyes, wandering listlessly to the other aide of the marsh, saw in an open apace a man walking slowly with his gun over his arm, apparently watching for the flight of the little " peeps" qf the malt marshes. Without knowing that she did so she watched his movements, feeling an idle in- terest in the fate of the next bird that flew over. Then, as the falling, fluttering bird proved the skill of the marksman, she was conscious of an involuntary feeling of resent- ment against him. • "He looks as if he were a stranger here," she said to herself. "1 hope he won't go on the marsh; he would never know the way." The fullest glory of the sunset was past, and Marion knew that ib was time for her to go, but she could not. A whisper of some unusual desire made her stop. Could a glimpse of the future have been vouch- sased her then'would the girl have lin- gered, waiting for the bliss and pain that was coming to meet her? Suddenly, impelled by what seemed an inward cry of her soul, she turned eagerly to look back at the man she had been watching. He had left the firm path and was com- ing :across the marsh, and not, she saw directly, by the only place which was a safe crossing. However strong the treach- erous stuff looked, she knew that it was dangerous in every place but one. She ran back down the slope, her face blanched with fear. She waved her hand to the man and cried out: "Do not come I Go back ! The path is not safe 1" He stopped instantly and looked back, then forward. "Is it not as well to keep on ? I'm more than half across." "1 don't know," she replied, in a tone of painful doubt—" I don't know how you came so far as that. It is almost impossible to get across the marsh save by one path." Even as she spoke he feltthe slow sinking of his feet beneath him. He took two or three steps with increas- ing difficulty. "1 am beyond the firm ground," he said, at last. "1 can only try to get to you." Marion stood tor a moment watching him, her hands pressed together, her beautiful face pale with anxiety, her large eyes strained forward with a look that might almost of itself have saved him. Then she ran up the beach to an old hut which stood near, a battered, deserted fisherman's house. One side of it was already half un - boarded, and the boards flapped in the wind, held loosely by a few rusty nails. The girl, hardy and used to many kinds of hard work, seized one of the boards and succeeded in wrenching it from its place. She ran with it down to the marsh again. It was not long. enough ; she needed yet anothor, as she had feared she should. "Keep up one moment," she cried. "only one moment, and you are safe." Marion's swift motions told with the pre- cision of knowledge. She threw down the board, her actions unimpeded by a long dress, and stepped lightly upon it with the other in her band, placing that as a continuation of the path she had already made. Then she sprang back, while the stranger, after one or two unsuceessful efforts, succeeded in placing hie feet on the board and the next instant he was by Marion's side. Then for the first time she looked at him with eyes that con- sciously saw his face. Jasper Wildair stood by her, and had involuntarily clasped her hands in his own. He could have paesionately offered up his life at that moment for this woman, and he had never seen her before. " You have saved my life," he said, "and life never was so dear to me ae then. And I did not feel that this was the time for me to die," At last she :raid with simple sincerity " I am very glad to have been able to help you. You will not Venture on the marsh again?" She had withdrawn • her hands from his, and was standiug a short distance from him, She looked up at him as she said the last, interrogatively. She met a glance which this time called a scarlet flush to her face. Wildair averted his gaze as he replied: "No, I promise you. I could not hope that you would always be near. Are you to stay here all surnmer ?" Her voice was clear and apparently con- tented as she replied: " Yes. I live here." She turned to go up to the beach rie she spoke, remembering the life she had for a time forgotten. He hastened after her, saying: "Allow me to walk along the beach with you. 1 cannot lose eight of you yet." She assented silently, a passing thought of the difference between the man and Everard flitting through her mind. They came to her basket of wood and she ntooped to lift it. 116 took it from her without a word, though he saw immediately and with a feel- ing of rebellion that it was, driftwood she had picked along the shore. Woe the, then, ao poor as that ? ^ Se accestorned was She to her tepoveq- °IWuhaenngszhYerewital heirbed her own dingy (*amber at home she wondered why it seemedso long: since ehe went out for wood. It had really been but two or three houre, and yet life seemed to have opened for itself a new vista. --- It was the last of September, and on this - New England shore the winel blew chill aoroas the beach. The idlers had gone, and VVildair and Marion stood alone by the water. The weeks that just passe(' had done their ineradicable work for them. But until now nothing had been said of love, for Wildair had been held back by a bondage whioh before him been simply indiffer- ent to him—now it was hateful. Standing with Marion now, before he must leave her, every fetter fell from hire, burst by the passionate love he felt. His eyes devoured the pale face before him—they longed for a full look of love from her. He bent nearer, murmuring entreat- ingly: 'Marion, look at me !—oh, look at - me 1" That ory of passion and pathos raised her eyes, and she met his glance with ono soft', and yet full of the fire of undying love., I must leave you he said at last r‘e` tbuurtnII;will come backto you, I swear to He spoke as if subduing some obstacle ofe which she knew nothing. She looked at, him with trusting eyes, feeling aseured of his love, of his honor and truth. Ab, tkere was Paradise itself in Marion's- faee for him, as he looked at it thus. Another swift half-hour and Marion stood alone on the beach. The figure of her lover had disappeared in the dusk. Now, in- deed, she knew what it was to be alone. Then, with a smile of sad happiness, eher thought that never again, as heretofore,, could she be utterly alone,- for did she not love, and was she not beloved ? She returned to the old house. In her - room were scattered books and papers, for Wildair had taught her muoli in the last fews, and had been lavish in supplying, the hungry mind with literature. The days slowly dragged into the winter. She waited, hearing from Jasper often. It was a gray, cold afternoeu in Decem- ber. She had hurried home from the offiee;.: there was no letter that night, only the paper to which her father was a subscriber. Her mother, lying on the lounge, said. querulously, as Mallon entered : eatag " Your/father has been out in fireboat, it was so still this afternoon. He carried out the telescope for some reason or other and of course forget it. It'll be lost, ande wenever shall laave another. It teok too much money for that." "He'll go out again to -morrow," replied Marion, sitting down by the stove and put- ting her feet on the hearth. "No, he won't; he hardly ever goes in the winter. It's the most costly thing in the house, and now that's gone 1' whined, Mrs. Logan. Marion smothered an exclamation of im- patience and rose from her seat, saying: "I'll go after it. Did he leave the boat anchored ?" • " 'Yes ; though I charged him not to doe it. There's a storm brewing. Hurry in be- fore the wind blows -up." Marion fastened her cloak and hood tightly and went out. The sea lay quiet for winter, but it rolled k with a blue blackness that it never new in summer She pushed- off the light boat that her. father let remain on the beach thus late, for the fisherman was what Yankees call sn eafrtiloe sn' s ' Marion enjoyed the bounding over the - dark waves, the sharp bracing air that had, a premonition of storm in it. She soon reached the larger boat and stepped into it, twisting the boats together by the anchor rope of the smaller one. She sat down a moment, liking the motion of the craft as it lay anchored there. . As she, sat she thought of the newspaper in her pocket and opened it, glancing casually down the columne. How many times does a simple marriags. notice carry despair to some who read it 1 Like the lines of doom she read it—the. announcement of the marriage of Jasper Wildair, of Boston. Love and joy nem& scorched from her forever. With careful fingers she folded the paper, "And yet he loved me—does love me !" she murmured with white lips. • A blind, dizzy weakness came over her— it appeared the farewell of hope and joy. Another deep, fast breath of wind blesv over. her. She faltered, her foot failed, her head swam. She did not step truly, but down into the waters that eddied and gurgle& around her. Tel le The last thought to that poor, tired soul' was: "He loves me 1 --loves me !" Cold, benumbed, she could not help her- self in that icy flood, and besides, steength and hope had deserted her. A week later there hurried along the lonesome beach a man in whose eyes shone - the glory of a hope nearly fulfilled. All - had been arratged 1 A distant cousin of the same name as himself, and happily far more wealthy, had supplanted him in the ambitious ideas of: the lady cousin he had promised towed, and his purpose of breaking the engagement had been all the more easy. He had hastened - from the wedding of the other Jasper to the old house which held all that was best for - him. Words cannot tell what he felt as he stood again on the beach now forever with- out her. And yet a hope, born of true love, a hope - that was not of earth, shed some cheer in his. " hre He looked upon the waters that had given, her the embrace of death. "She knows my soul—my unalterable - /eve 1" he said, feeling again the full light of her trusting eyes. And, safe from earth, did she not know his truth 1.—Exchange. that she was never aehamed of it, though A Cdass of Water at Bedtime. The human body is constantly undergoing, tissue change.
