WOMAN'S STORY,
CHAPTER, IX,
We had been nearly a mouth in Switzer-

everything, all the more becauth of Uncle
Ambrose, who was like a walleing encerolo-
podia, telling me all I wanted to know
about everything and everybody, talkinn
most delightfully about Voltaire, Rousseau,
Gibbon, and all the Lake Leinall poets and

Tyndall on the Alps and glaoiers.

Chore is an intensity in his devotion to my
mother whick shows itself in every act of
his daily We; and yet his affection is never
intrusive, it never touches the ridiculous.
I think very few people at the hotels where
-we ;stopped guessed that they were a honey-
moon couple. Mother is silenteand reserved
among strangers, and Unole Ambrose has
always the thoughtful air of a student. At
the National. at Geneva, there were some
Oxford men who were very much impressed

them talking about his books one evening

sake -whether he worshiped her from the
very beginning, even in my deer father's
life -time, with the same worship that he
has for her now -a hopeless, distant love in
those days, without expectation or thought
of reward. I eau but think that it may

And then the dear face same lesek to me
in all its brightness -the happy smile -the
candid gray eyes. The loved voice sounded
again in my ears, just as if my father had
that instant called to me from the garden.
Oh, how could my mother get over such a
blow as that? The wonder was not that
she had grieved dreadfully, but that she had
ever ceased to grieve. And nothing had
been done. His death was unavenged ; his

had not found time to open my diary after
I left England; bat now I come to the
book for relief from my pent-up agony. I
have not had one happy moment once that
revelation; and yet I have been obliged to
appear as lia-ppy as ever, for fear my mother
should find ant what I aartebrooding upon,
and be reminded of the one great sorrow of
her life. Oh, what rt sorrow it must have
been! What an awful haunting memory ! It
is wonderful to me that she could ever smile
again, or take any pleasure or like,or think
of anything except' that one dreadful fact.
I know now how my father died -why
he was snob:deed away from us without an
hour's warning. I know that he was cruelty
murdered bynn unknown hand; end thathia
murderer is walking about the earth at this
day, undiscovered and unpunished, unless
God's vengeance has fallen upon the wretch
in some mysterious way that we know not.
We were t the Schweitzerholf, at Lu-
cerne. The weather was lovely, and we
had spent the day on the lake, and in the
evening after dinner we all went out to the
portico in front of the hotel. There were
some Tyrolese musicians playing under the
trees by the Is.ke, and I thought of that
curious stoey of Tolstoi's-of the poor wan-
dering musician and the cruel people at the
Schweitzerhoff, who listened and applauded
but never gave hirn a sou. And then the
poor ereature wentstrolling about the town,
where the teller of the story followed him,
to take him back to the Schweitzerhoff and
treat him to champagne, much to the in-
dignation of the company in the coffee -
room.
I reminded Uncle Ambrose of Tolstes
story, which we had read together. We
were sitting in the deep shadow of the
portico, looking out at the moonlit quay,
and listening to the Tyrolese musicians,
one of them playing upon the Streichzither
while the others sung. .
Presently Uncle Ambrose and my mother
went for a turn on the quay, leaving me
sitting in my dark corner at the back of
the colonnade. They asked me to go with
them'but I had walked and run &bout a
good deal in the aIbernoon, at Altdorf and
Fluellen and I- told mother I was tired,
and would rather stay where I was.
I was sitting in a dark corner,' enjoying
the music, and unobserved by enybnely.
There were two rows of people in front of
me.

slowly away on her husbaud's arm.

"Bub what about Mise He.trell?"

I did not cry out, or faint, or do any
thing to create a disturbance. For a min-
ute or no there was a rushing in my ears,
and the pillars of the portico seemed to
rock; and then my bead grew cool and
dear again. But I felt that I could not go
on sitting quietly there; and I started up
and asked one of the men -who had talked
about my father to make way for me, and
I broke through the double range of sitters
somehow, and ran down the steps aud
away toward the cathedral, and then up
the hill at the back of the hotel., I wanted
to get away from the crowd, from my
mother and Uncle Ambrose, from everyone
and everything, just, to be alone with my
thoughts of my dear dead father.
The nartow path up which 1 went to
the top oe the hill was quite deserted at
this time. I stood on the h111 -top alone,
looking down at the lighted oity, so pic-
turesque in its stillness, the quaint old ropfs
and gablee,and market squares and tiarriew
streets, which it had been such a delight to
explore with Uncle Ambrose only yester-
day, but which I looked at now with dull,
unseeing eyes. Pilatus lifted hie snow -
crowned head above the further shore of
the lake, and over all there was the clear
light of the moon, clear yet soft, leaving.
great yaps of densest shadow, black depths
where the lamps twinkled here and there,
siugly or in blusters of warm red light,
which seemed a relief after the coldness of
the moon and stars.
I had noticed all these things the night
before, when 1 stood m the same spot with
Uncle Ambrose. I naked them mechani-
cally to -night, while my heart beat loud
and fast, with a passionate longing to do
something, weak, inexperienced girl as I
was, that should slowly, laboriously, surely
lead to the punishment of my fathertt
murderer.
"How is it," I asked myself, "that one
murderer escapes, and that another, who
seems to leeve but the slightest indications
to lead to discovery, is arrested within a
week of his crime? What is it that makes
the chahoes of criminals so uneven, and how
is it that the police, who in some cases seem
to exercise a superhuman intelligence, seem
in other cases helpless and blundering el.
most to the verge of idiocy ?"
I had heard this question discussed with-
in the lase few weeke in relation to a
mysterious murclee in Liverpool, and 1 had
baken an intense interest in the subject -a
morbid interest, Uncle Ambrofse told me,
when I talked to him about it. He reproved
me for occupying my mind with a. ghastly
story. I reminded him that the story of
this melrder Weshno mere ghastly than the
seory of Agamemnon's murder, or of tho
string of enurdeis in "Macbeth," and that
one might as well be interested in real
horrors as in fiction, Little did I think
then that there would conic a day when I
should have e stronger reason for brooding
upon thie ghastly subjeet,
I stayed on the hill a long time, forget-
ting everything except the horror that had
been made known to me that night -forget
ting, meet of all time my absence evonle
alarm my mother. I was stareled at epee
by the cathedral clock, which began to
libelee the hour. I counted bhe strokes, and
found that it was eleven o'clock. I had
bean away away from the hotel more than an

I hurried back, and on the way met
'Cade Ambrose, who scolded me for going
out alone at such a late hour.
" Your mother has bone anxious andagita-
ted about you,Daisy," he said, "How came
so wise e. person to do such a feolieb thing ?"
"1 don't know -T fergot," I said.
" Where have you been all this time 2"
"On the hill tip there, looking down at
bilethryn
dear Daisy, how could you forget
that your mother would be alarmed at. your
disappearance."
"1 forgot eeery th ing,"
And theo I told him what 1 had heard
an hour ago in .the portiote I asked him
why the othel truth had been kept from nee
during all theft years? I looked at his faoe
in the moonlight, an maw more trouble)
there theet I had ever erten he My life he -

"It would have beau cruel to tell you the
truth, Daisy, The greatest cureo of life is
the existenee of idle chattereru Who must

business. if Wiehee could beer &hit, it
%mould be had for those men you overheard
to -night."
I had never heard a uh anger in his voice
as I heard then.
"God only knows the pains your mother
;lea I have taken to keep this sorrow from
said. "We have pledged all who
knew you and were about yon to ailence.
We have hedged you round with precau-
tions. And yet, oe one uutuoky minute,
the prurient goeitip of a wonder -monger
frustrate e all our care,"
"I am glad I know," I answered. "Do
you think / wenbed to live in A. fool's
paradise ?-to believe that my father died
peacefully in the arms of a friend, when he
was brutally murdered ? You don'e know
how I loved him, or you would know better
than that."
I was angry in my turn-and,00w tears
came, the first which I had shed since I
heard the story of My father's death -tears
of mingled anger and geief. I seized Uncle
Ambrose by the arm., 1 was almost beside
myself.
You were his friend," I said, " his
Closest friend, almost like a brother ! Did
you do nothing to avenge his death? Noth-
ing, nothing 1"
I did all that mortal man could do,
Daisy. I stimulated the police to action
by every means in my pewee. I did not
rest till all that could be done had been
done. It was in concert with me that your
mpther offered a reward large enough tit
set all &Wand Yard on the Alert. If the
murderer escaped, be assured it was not be.
cause his pursuers were careless or indiffer-
ent. Had he been a prince of the blood
royal the endeavor to solve the mystery of
leis death could not have been more iazense
than it was."
" What idioesethe detective police muse
be l" I exolaitned.
"No, they are not idiots, Daisy, though
it is the fashion to cal' them so whenever a
notorious criminal evades pursuit. There
are some uncommonly- clever men among
them, and there are some unootnmonly
clever captures and discoveries made by
them. But now and then they have to deal
with a criminal Who is both eiever and
lucky, nd that was the case with the
wretch who murdered your father."
"Tell me all about his death -every
detail," I said.
"What good will it do for you to know,
Daisy ?" he asked, in his pleading voice,
just as he used to talk to me year ago when
I was a child, and inclined to be naughty.
"For God's sake, my dear girl, try to forget
all you have heard to -night. Think of your
father only as you have thought of him
hitherto; as one who was taken from you in
the flower of his years and who sleeps
quietly in his grave, honored, loved, and
lamented. The manner of his death makes
little difference. It was swift and sudden -
merciful death, without death -bed horrors,
or prolonged pain. It must have been an
almost instantaneous death."
"You know all about it, and I Want to
*know, too," answered. "If you won't tell
me I shall out the eruth for naysetf. I
know the date or my father's death, and I
have ohly to get the newspapers for the
following days, and I shall learn' all that
can be learned ahont his murderer, and the
circumstances of his death."
"You are obstinate and foolish, Daisy,"
he said. "It would be far wiser to blot
the horror of the past out of your mind
forever. Your father's sleep is just as sweet
as if he had perished by the slow and pain-
ful decay which darkens the, end of life
when men live to what is called a gond old
age. A good old age! as if age and decay
could ever be good 1 I wonder at your
want of philosophy. I thought I had
trained my pupil better, and that whenever
you should come to know the worst your
own calm reason would show you that
death by assassination is no more dreadful
than any other forest, of death.
"It is more dreadful -infinitely more
dreadful -for it robbed me of my beloved
father. He would be with us now -he might
be with us for long years to come-. but
for the wretoh who killed him. It is easy
for you to preach resignation, for you have
been the gainer by his death,"
I was too angry to think of the cruelty of
my words, or of my base ingratitude to-
ward the truest friend I have in the world,
after my mother. I oould think of noth-
ing but my father's hard fate, and my own
bitter loss. •
"That veill do ,Daisy," said Uncle Am-
brose in &voice tit sounded likea stranger's.
"So long as you and I live you coat never
say anything more cruel than that."
" Or ungrateful," I cried, throwing my-
self into his arms. "1 am a wretch, a
thankless wretch."
He soothed and comforted me,assuring me
of his forgiveness. Yes, it was a hard thing
to have lost so dear a, father, so good a man.
"For God's sake, don't think that I fain
ed in regard for your father," he said.
"Although our ideas of life were so differ -
tent -he all action a•nd vivacity, I dreamy
and self -contained --he was.the best friend
I ever had, the man I liked best in tbe
world. Yes, I have gained by his untimely
death, gained a pearl beyond price, the one
dream and desire of my life. I can never
palter with facts there, Daisy. You and 1
must understand each other and believe in
each other, if I am to stand in a parent's
place for My dear pupil and friend. There
shall be no sophistication on my part. I
have told you why your mother and I
have labored to keep the meaner Of your

Tfig LATE CZAR'S FUNERAL.
Great Preparations mad Meet illaborate
Draping at St, Petersburg.
A despatch from St. Petersburg Says :-
The inhabitants of this city awoke on Tues-
day morning ia a etate of feverish expect-
anoy. The last touclu3s were being put at
• daybreak upon hundreds of thousands of
funeral +impinge, orape streamers, mourning
flags and banners of black and white, made
out oe every coneeivable material, in honor
• of the memory of the late Czar. The facade
of the Anitchkoff palace, isa wbioh Alex-
ander 111. lived, was oompletely draped,
with black, and the Hotel de Ville and
the Newsky prospect were shrouded in
mourning emblems ot the most elaborate
desoripzions The high tower ot the Hotel
de Ville was mantled with black not a
stone ahowing, and the building itself was,
a mass of black streamere, Thronghout
the city the stores were decorated with
mourning emblems, and in the windows of
all the prominent shops there were been*
ful displays of petals, evergreens or Rowe -as
in the centra of which, as a rule were
pictures of the dead Czar, surrounded by
crape. The weather was dull and foggy.
.16.13,1i1VAL OV THE TRAM
The funeral train, with the body of the
late Czar on board arrived at the Nicholas
atation in the middle of the Light, and it
was shunted upon a siding until this
morning, in order to enable the imperial
family and their relatives to finish their
night's rest.
As soon as all preparations for the proe
cession were completed, at aboub 10.20 a.
m., the imperial train re-entered the rail-
road station, the body was transferred to
the hearse in waiting, and was conveyed
to the eathedral through the den.sely
crowdedstreets, guarded by thousands of
troops.
• Trio monneans,
Behind the hearse came the Czar and
the imperial buosehold. They were fol-
lowed by the Xing of Greece and by the
Prince of Wales. Then name a long line
of GrandDukes and Princes, followed by
their various military suits. After the
latter marched a detachment of Grenadiers
amd following the Grenadiers came the
imperial carriages, with the ladies of the
imperial and royal families.
In the first coach was the Czarina., Prin-
cess Alia of Hesse-Darmstadt. and the
Grand Duchesses Xenia and, Olga daugh-
ters of the le.te Czar. The second coach
contained the Queen of Greece, the Prin-
cess of Wales, the Duchess of Saxe -Coburg
Gotha and the Duchess of Meoklenburg-
• Schwerin. The other mourning coaches
contained all the other royal and titled
ladies, who have journeyed from Livadia
with the body ot Alexander III. After
the carriages came thousands of troops of
all arms, who brought up the rear of the
funeral possession.
Prior to the arrival of the body at the
cathedral a short tervice was held there in
the presence of the Czar, the diplomatists
anri many of the Russian nobility. The
hearse exrived at the cathedral a, few Mirl.
utes past 2 o'clock. Four of the chief pall
bearers removed the pall. The Czar and
other Russian Imperial personages and

day. A young man came in and said that
he wanted to get a tontine life polioy for
$5,000.
"'How old are you'l' said I.
"'Twenty-nine,' said he.
"Then it will cost you $1.62.50 a year for
twenty yeses."
" But suppose I pay ib all up at once?'
said he.
Then it will cost you $3,050,' said I.

twenty years?' said he.
"'About $4,600,' said I,
" Then I will pay my pert of it in ad-

will give you $3,050 and you give me $4,-
600. Thatles fair, isn't it.'

House Plants.
What the winter house plant likes best,
after it is properly established, 13 pure,
reasonably cool air. The sort of atmos-
phere that human beings ought to bree.ehe
also good for plants. Do not expose
hem to draughts, but give them clean air.
If the houee is heated by a furnace, put
pans or pretty dishes of water on the
registers, and the evaporation will delight
the plant and benefit their owner. They
will want plenty of water in furnace beat,
but no rule for watering can be aet up.
Study their needs as shown day by day,
and water accordingly. Give them all the
sunshine you can secure. But the cool,
pure air, the even temperaturesis the great
neoeseity. With this, oae ceahave beauti-
ful ferns -the adiantum is specially lovely
and very usefitlas a dinner-teble deco/ellen.
Most plants do particularly well in a rooiri
with a large fireplace opening into a wide
chimney, as this generally means clean air
without draught,the dead air being drawn
away. There is a great deal of pleasure in
rubber trees, which endure so much neglect
with patience, and are so glossy and thrifty
looking.

many of these oases are now bought by
women as by men. The next beat thing in
which to carry an extra dress is one of the
long pasteboard boxes be which dry goods
dealers peek cloaks. These are very light,
and in them gowns may be packed to better
advantage than in a bag. They may be
wrapped in stout paper, not newspumer,
however, and carried either in a sho.wletrap
or tied with a strong cord held by o, wood en
handle. A leather-bound coverrog made
of brown linen is often very convenient for
wrapping aboueshawle or fiat boxea when
traveling; though it adds to the weight of
a package. The telescope bags that come
in Many sizes and are ligire, stout and
strong, are also very desirable for Short
journeys, especially for those trips when
one is constantly buying something,
and an elastic piece of baggage is a ne-
tessity.
