Clara went upatairaead at heart, for she was sure now that what she had feared was Indeed about to come to pass, and that her father was going to take Mrs. Westmaoott to be hie wife. In her pure and earnest mind her mother's memory was enshrined as that of a saint, and the thought that any one should take her place seemed a terrible desecration. Even worse, however, did this marriage appear when looked at from the point of view of her father's future. The widow might fascinate him by her knowledge of the world, her dash, her streugth, her unconventionality—all theee qualities Clara was Willing to allow her— but she was convinced that she would be unendurable as a life companion. She had come to an age when habits are not lightly to be ohanged, nor was she a woman who was at all likely to attempt •to change them. How would a sensitive man like her father eband the constant strain of such a wife—a woman who was all decision, with no softness, and nothing soothing in her nature ? It passed as a mere eacentrie oity when they heard of her stoutdrinking, her cigarette smoking,her occasional whiffs at a long clay pipe, her horsewhipping of a drunken servant and her companionship with the snake Eliza, whom she was in the habit of bearing about itt her pocket. All this would become unendurable to her father when his first infatuation was past. For his own sake, then, as well as for her mother's memory, this match must be pre- vented.

Or Ida At least she would tell her sister, and see what the could suggest. Ida was in her boudoir, a tiny little tapestried room, as neat and dainty as herself, with low walls hung with lmari placques, and with pretty little Swiss brackets, bearing blue Saga ware, or the pure white Coalport• china. In a low chair, beneath a red -shaded standing lamp, sat Ida, in a diaphanous evening dress of mousseline de sore, the ruddy light tinge- ing her sweet, child -like face and glowing on her golden curly. She sprang up as her sister entered and threw her arms around her. "Dear old Clara ! Come and sit down here beside me. I have not had a ohat for days, But, oh, what a troubled face 1 What is it, then ?" She put up her fore- finger and smoothed her sister's brow with it. Clara pulled up a stool, and Bitting down beside her sister, - pasaed her arm around her waiet. "" I am so sorry to trouble you, dear Ida," the said. "But I do not know what to do." "There's nothing the Harold?" "Oh, no, Ida." "Nor with my Charles ?" "No, no." Ida gave a sigh of relief. "You quite frightened me, dear," said she. "You can't think how solemn you look. What is it, then ?" "I believe that papa intends to ask Mrs. Westmacott to marry him." Ida burst out laughing. "What can have put such a notion into your head, Clara 2" "It is only too true, Ida. I suspected iti before, and he himself almost told me as much with his own lips to -night. I don't think that it is a laughing matter." • "Really, I could not help it. If you had told me that thine two dear old ladies op- posite—the Misses Williams —were both engaged, you would not have surprised me more. It is really too funny 1" "Funny, Ida I Think of any one taking She place of dear mother." But her sister was of a more practical and less sentimentatnature. "I am sure," said she, "that dear mother would like papa to do whatever would make him most happy. We shall both be away, and why should papa not please himself ?" "But think bow unhappy he will be. You know how quiet he is in his ways,and how even a little thing will upset him. How could he live with a wife who would make his whole life a series of surprises Fancy what a whirlwind she tenet be in a house, A man at his age cannot change his ways. Ism sure hewould be miserable." Ida's face grew graver, and she ponder- ed over the matter for a tew minutes. "1 really think that yon are right, as usual," said she at last. I admire Charlie's aunt very much, you know, and I thiek that she is a very useful and good person, but I don't think she would do as a wifefor poor quiet papa." "But he will certainly ask her, and I really think that she intends to accept him. Then it would be too late to interfere. We have only a few days at the most. And what oan we do? Row oan we hope to make him change his mind ?" Again Ida pondered. " Efe has never tried what it is to live with a strong-minded woman," said she. "If we could only get • him to realize ib in time. Oh, Clara, I have it—I have it I Sash a lot ely plan I" She leaped back in her chair and burst in- to a fit of laughter so natural and so hearty that Clara bad to forget her troubles and join in it.

"You will do it?" "1 do not see any other way." "You dear, good Clara ! /sl.ow I will show you what you are to do. We must not begin too suddenly. It might exoite suspicion."

"41i, here is breakfaat at last." • But nothing was comfortable that morn- ing. •There were eggs without eggepoons ; toast which was leathery !from being kept, dried-up rashers and grounds in the coffee. Above all, there wae thet dreadful smell, whioh pervaded everything, and gave a horrible twang to every mouthful. "I don't wish to put a damper upon your studies, Ida," saidthe doctor, as he pushed back his chair. "But Ido think it would be better if you clid your chemical experimenting a little later in the day." "But Mrs. 4Vestmacott says that women should rise early, and do their work befere breakfast." "Then they should choose BOmo other room besides the breaktast-room." dootor was becoming juet a little ruf- fled. A turn in the open air would soothe birn, he thought. '0 Where are my boots ?" he asked. • .) • But they were not in their accustomed corner by his chair,. Up and down he searched, while the three servants took up She quest, stooping and peeping under book-oeses and drawers. Ida had returned to her studies,and Clara to her blue-oovered volume, sitting absorbed and disinterested amid the bustle and the racket. At last a general buzz of congratulation .announced that the cook had diecoverecl the boots hung up among the hate in the hall. The doctor very red and flustered, drew them on, and stamped off to join the Admiral in his morning walk. As the door slammed, Ida burst into a about of laughter. Yon see, Clara," she cried, "the charm weeks already. He has gone to number one instead of to number three. Oh, we shall win a great victory! You've been very good, dear. I meld see that you were on thorns to help him when he was looking for hie boots." "Poor papal.It is so creel. And yet what are we to do ?" "Oh, he will enjoy being comfortable all the more if we give him a little discomfort now. What horrible work this chemistry is 1 Look at my frock: It is ruined 1 Ancrthis dreadful smell 1" She threw open the window, and thrust her little golden - curled head out of it. Charles Westinacott was hoeing at the other side of the garden -fence. "Good -morning, sir," said Ida. "Good -morning!" The big man leaned upon his hoe and looked up at her. "Have you any cigarettes, Charles?" "Yes, certainly." • "Throw me up two." • "Here is my case. Can you catch ?" A sealskin case came with a soft thud on to the floor. Ids, opened it. It was full. "What are these'?" she asked, "Egyptians." "What are geome othei• brands?" " "Oh, Richmond Gems, and Turkish, and Cambridge. But- why ?" CHAPTER IX. A ZANILY PLOT. Little did poor Dr. Walker imagine as he sat at his breakfaat table next morning that the two sweet girls who sat on either side of him were deep in a conspiraoy, and that he, munching innocently at his muffins, was the victimagainst whom their wiles were planned. Patiently they waited until their opening mune. "itt is a bettutifni day," he remarked. "It will do for Mrs. Westmacott. She was thinking of having a spin upon the tricycle." "Then we must call early. We both intended to see her after breakfast." "Oh, indeed I" The dootor looked pleased. "You know, pa," said Ida, "It seems to us that we really have a .very great advantage in having Mrs, Westmacott iving so near." "Why so, dear ?" "Well, because she is so advanced, you know. If we only study her ways we may advance ourselves also." I think I have heard you say, papa," Clara remarked," that she is the type of the woman of the future." "I am very pleased to hear you speak so sensibly, my dears. I certainly think that she is a woman whom you may very well take as your model. The more inti- mate you are with her the better pleased I shall be." "Then that is settled," said Clara, de- murely, and the talk drifted Co other matters. All the morning the two girls sat ex- tracting from Mrs. Weatmacott her most extreme view as to the duty of the one sex and the tyranny of the other. Ab- solute equality, even in details, was her ideaL Enough of the parrot cry of un. womanly and unmaidenly 1 It had been invented by man to scare woman away when she poached too nearly upon hie precious preserves. Every woman should be independent. Every woman should learn a trade. It was their duty to push in where they were least welcome. Then they ware martyrs to the cause and pioneers to their weaker sisters. Why should the wash -tub, the needle and the houaekeeper's book be eternally theira ? Might they not reach higher— to the consulting -room, to the bench, and even to the pulpit? Mrs. Westmea cott sacrificed her tricycle ride in her eagerness over her pet subject, and her two fair disciples drank in.every word and noted every suggestion for future use. That afternoon tbey went shopping in London, and before evening strange packages began to be handed in at the doctor's door. The plot was ripe for execution, and one of the conspirators was merry and jubilant, while the other was very nervous and troub- led, When the doctor cum° down to the dining -room next morning he was surprised to find that his daughtera had already been up eome time. Ida was installed at one end of the table with a spirit -lamp, a curved glass flask and several bottles in front of her. The contents of the flask were boiling furiously, while a villainous smell filled the room. Clara lounged in an arm -chair with her feet upon a second one, a blue -covered hook in her hand, and a huge map of the British Islands spread across her lep, "Halloo 1" cried the doctor, blinking and sniffing, "where's the breakfast ?" "Oh, didn't you order it?" asked Ida. "II No ; why should 1?" EN rang the bell. "Why have you not laid the break. fast, Jane ?" "If you please, sir, Mies Ida was a workin' at, the table." " Oh of (entree Jane," mid the young lady, calmly. "1 am ao eorry. shall be ready to move in a few minuto." "But what on earth are 37On doings Ida 1" asked the doctoe. •" The smell is most offensive.

My dear papa, we are trying hard to live up to Mrs. Westmacott's etendaid." "Well, I must se.y diet I do not admire the result. Your chemistry, Ida, may perhape do no harm ; but your scheme, Clara, is out of the question. How a girl of your swipe could ever entertain such a notion is more than I can imagine. But I muet absolutely ferbid sant to go further with ,p pa," asked Ida, with an air of innocent inquiry in her big blue eyes, "what are we to do when your commands and Mts. Westinatiott's advice are Opposed ? You told us to obey her.

The doctor fleshed, and his grizzled hair bristled in his anger. "Certainly. She says that all heads of houses are relics of the Dark Ages." The doctor Muttered something, anti stamped his foot ,upon the carpet. Then without a 'word he passed out into the garden, and his daughters could see- him striding furiously up and down, cutting off the heade of the -flowers with a switch. " Oh, you darling ! You played your part set splendidly ? cried Ida. "But how cruel it is 1 When I saw the sorrow and surprise in his eyes I very nearly put my arms about him and told him all. Don't you think we have done enough 2" " No, no, no. Not nearly enough. You must not turn weak now, Clara. It is so funny that I should be leading you. It is quite a new experience. But,I know I am right. If we go on as we are doing we shall be able to say all our lives that we have saved him. And if we don't, oh, Clara, We should never forgive ourselves 1" (TO BE CONTINUED.) "Never mind." She nodded to him and closed the window. "We must remember all those, Clara," said she. "We must learn to talk about such things. Mrs. Westmacott knows all about the brands of cigarettes. Has your rum come ?" "Yes, dear. It is here." "And I have my stout. Come along up to my room now, This smell is too abomi- nable. But we must be ready for 'bim when he comes back. If we sie at the window we shall see him coming down the road," The fresh morning air and the genial company of the Admiral had caused the doctor to forget his troubles, and he came back about midday in an excellent humor. As he opened the hall door the vile smell of chemicals which had spoiled his break- fast met him with redoubled virulence. He threw open the hall winclew, entered the dining room, and stood aghast at the sight which met his eyes. , Ida was still sitting among her bottles, with alighted cigarette in her left hand and a glass ot stout on the table beside her. Olara, with another cdgarette,was lounging In the easy -chair, witleseveral maps spread, out upon the floor around. Her feet were stuck up on the coal scuttle, and she had tumblerful of some reddish -brown corn - position on the smoking table close at her elbow. The doctor gazed from one to the other of them through the thin gray haze of smoke, but his eyes rested finally in a settled stare of astonishment upon his elder and more serious daughter. "Clara 1" he gasped, "T could not have believed it 1" "What is it, papa?" "You are smoking 1" "Trying to, papa. I find it a little difficult, for I have not been used to it." 'Butt why, in the name of goodness" -- "Mrs. Westmacott recomniends it." "011, a lady of mature years may do rnauy things which a young girl must avoid." " Oh no," cried Ida' "Mrs. Westmenott says that there shouldbe one law for all. Have a eigarette, ?" "No, thank you. I never smoke in the, morning," "No? Perhaps you don't care for the brand.

A despatch from Niagara Falls, Ont., says: --A deliberate suicide took place on Monday afternoon. Joseph Booth, who has been the barber atathe Clifton house for the past three summers, and had been looked upon as a man of more than ordinary intelligence, left his shop about- half -past ten, after getting through with his morn. ines work, and nothing more was seen or heard of him until one of the guests of the hotel, a German named Hoff DeSpitz returned to the hotel and related the fent that Booth had jumped over the Falls sheet helf.past two o'clock. It seems Hoff DeSpitz went out for a walk after lunch, and came across Booth in the park, and recognized him as the barber in tbe hotel that had shaved him that morning. The two men paned the time of day, and walked up toward -the Falls together. When the two men were near the Horse- shoe Falls Booth surprised his companion by saying, "Wait here and I will show you what takes nerve to dm"- and when they got to the Horseshoe Falls Booth left Hoff DeSpitz and went up towards the island. Hoff DeSpitz did not have the faintest idea what was to occur, and waited patiently, and watched on all sides. Much to his astoniehmene he saw Booth wading out in the river opposite the Niagara Falls Electric railway power -house, about 100 yards above the brink of the Horseshoe Falls. , He then realized tho man's renfarks, and gave the alarm, but it, wae too late. Booth was out of reach of any human aid to rescue him from his suicidal intent.
