AFTER "MANY DAY&
•CHAPTER VII.
tb was not till the earlY spring that
Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair returned to Eng-
land. They had spent the winter in
Rome, where Gilbert had found 801110
congenial friends, and where their time
had been °coupled in one perpetual
round of gayety and dissipation. Con-
stanc.a had shown a great taste for
pleitetue since her raarriage. She seem-
ed to know no weariness of visiting and
being visited. and people who remem-
bered her in her girlisia days were ear -
prised to find what a thorough woraan
of the world she had become. Nor was
Gilbert displeased that it should. be so.
He liked to see his wife occupy a prom-
inent position in society. and having
no taste hiroself for the pleasures of the
:domestic heerte, he was neither sur-
prised nor vexed by Constance's indif-
ference to her home. Of course it would
all be different at Davenant Park;
there would be plenty of home life there
—a. little too much, perhaps, Gilbert
tbought, with a yawn.
They had been married nearly four
months, and there bed not beeu the
shadow a disagreement between them.
Constance s manner tO her husband mils
amiability itself. She treated him a,
little de hunt en bas it is true, made
her own plates for the most part with-
out reference to him, and gra.ciously in-
formed him of her arrareeements after
they were eonapleted. I3ut then, on the
other laand. she never objected to his
dispgsal of his time, was never ele.eting,
or jealous, or capricious, as Clara Wals
singliam bad been, She was always
agreeable to his friends, and was emin-
ently popular with all of theca: so Gil-
bert Sinclair was, upon the whole, per-
fectly satisfied with the result of his
-
ma,rriage, and had no fear of evil days
in the future. What James Wyatt liad
said of luan was perfectly true. He was Is 1,p,at your theatrical rubbish?

Mr. Wyatt, on his parte was a little

surface of things, and by the time he
had been a fortnight at Davenant he,
had discovered that all this brightness

dicated an artifieial state of being.
whieh was Vrry far from rea,1 happi-
ness, and that there was a growing
sense of disappointment on the part of
the husband.
He was not in the habit of standing
upon much cereraony in his intercourse
with Gilbert Sinclair, and on the first

walked slowly along the corridor lead-
ing to the billiard -room.

' Gilbert Sinelair said very little tobis
wife about the fainting fit. She was
herself perfectly candid upon the sub-
ject. Sir Cyprian was an old friend—
a friend whom she had known and Ilk-

Wyatt' s news had quite overcome her.

"I have been overexerting myself a

Pearsoo's Weekly tells a story of a
telegraph lineman who has to his cred-
it as brave a service to a comrade as
a soldier raight render eu the field of
battle. A few years ago two men
were at work upon a telegraph pole
standing many feet above a line of
railway. A. wire had broken, and they
were repairing the damage.
The wind blew fiercely from the east,
and tee pole rocked to and fro, Sud-
denly a strong gust caused one of the
men to turn in his positioa. In doing
so he pushed his companion, who, taken
tuaawares, fell backward. He clutch-
ed at his mate, and both tumbled over
among the wires.

without speaking a word. Then one
of them ,said:

"It's rather lucky for you that you

he said, with a boastful laugh.
She looked at him for a moment with
a strange expression, and then turn-
ed very pale. "1 should not have been
afraid to face poverty," she said, "if
it had been my fate to do so."
"If you could have faced it with the

only congratulating you upon your fit-
ness for the position of a rich rcu3,n's
wife."
This was the first little outbreak of
jealousy of which Gilbert Sinclair had
been guilty. He knew that his wife did
not love, him, that his conquest had been
achieved through the influence of her
family, and he was almost angry with
himself for being so fond, of her. He
could not forget those vague hints that
had been dropped ta,bout Sir Cypriazt
Davenant, and was tormented by the
idea that James Wyatt knew a great
•deal more than he had revealed on this
point. This hidden jealousy had been
at the bottom of his purchase of the
Davenant estate. He took a savage
pride in reigning over the little king-
dom from. which his rival had been de-
posed,
Among tits visitors from London ap-
peared Afr. Wyatt, always uttobtru-
sive ancl always u.seful. He contrived
to ingratiate himself very rapidly in
Mrs. Sinclair's favor, and established
himself aa a kind of adjutant in her
household corps, always ready with ad-
vice upon every social subject, from
the costumes in a tableau vivant to the
composition of the men.n for a dinner -
party. Constance did not partieularly
like hint; but she lived in a world m
which it is not necessary to have a very
sincere regard for one's aequamtance,
and she considered him an agreeable
person, much to be preferred to the
generality of her husband's chosen corn-
pamioas, who were men without a
Captain Harcotu.t's expedition; and
that in a negative way, was about as
bad as it could be. But in a letter I
received this morning, from a mem-
ber of the Geographical Society, there
is worse news. My friend tells me
there is a very general belief that
Harcourt and his party have been made
away. with by the natives. Of course
this is only club gossip as yet, and I
trust that it may turn out a false
alarm."
Constance had dropped her pen, mak-
ing a great blot upon the page. She
was very pale, and her hands were
clasped nervously upon the table before
her. Gilbert watched her with eag-
er, angry eyes. It was .just such an
opportunity as he had wished for. He
wanted above all things to satisfy his
doubts about that man.
"I don't see that it mace matters whe-
ther the report is true or false," he
said, "as far as Davenent is concerned
The fellow was a scamp, and only left
England because he had epent his last
sixpence in dissipation."
".0 beg' your pardon, Sinclair," remon-
strated Mr. Wyatt, "the Davenant pro-
perty was impoverished by Cyprian's fae
ther and grandfather. I don't say that
he was not extravagant himself at one
period of his life, but he had reformed
long before he left England."
"Reformed—yes, when he had no
more money to spend. Th,at's a• com-
mon kind. of reform. However, I sup-
pose you've profited SG much by his rum
that you can afford to. praise him. •
"Hadn't you better ring the bell?"
asked James Wyatt, very quietly; "I
think Mrs. Sinclair has fainted.
He was right; Constance Sinclair's
head had. fallen back upon the cushion
of her chair, and her eyes were closed.
Gilbert ran across to her and. seized her
hand. It was deadly cold.
"Yes," he said, "she has fainted. Sir
Cyprian was an old friend of hers. You
know that better than I do, thou.ghyou
have never chosen to tell me the truth.
And now I suppose you bave trumped
up, this story in order to let me see what

"It is not a trumped-up story," re-
turned the other. "It is the common
talk among men who know the travel-

Every hospital in the city is filled with
victims, and there is a lack of nurses,

At the morgue which stands at the
corner of Twelfth and Poplar streets,
bodies are being brought in every

One thing that hindered. the work of

The lawyer shrugged his shoulders de-

He had indeed not been Idle. The
wicked work which he had set him-
self to do had progressed considerably.
It was he who always contrived, in a
subtle manner, to remind Gilbert Sin-
clair of his wife's coldness toward him-
self, and to hint at her affection for
another, while seeming to praise and.
defend her. Throughout their ac-
quaintance his wealthy client had treat-
ed him with a selfish indifference and
a cool, unconsgous insolence that had
galled him to the quick, and he took
a malicious pleasure in the discomfit-
ure which Sinclair had brought upon
himself by his marriage. When the
Sinclairs returned to London, some
months after the birth of the child,
James Wyatt contrived to make him-
self more than ever necessary to Gil-
bert, who had taken to play higher than
of old, and who now spent four even-
ings out of the six lawful days at a
notorious whist dub, sitting at the
card -table till the morning sun shone
through the chinks in the shutters. Mr.
Wyatt was a member of the same club,
but too cautious a player for the set
which Gilbert now affected.
"That fellow is going to the bad in
every way," the lawyer said to him-
self. "If Clara Walsingham wants to
see him ruined she is likely to have her
wish without any direct interference of
mine."
The state of affairs in Park Lane was
indeed far front satisfactory, Gil-
bert had. grown tired of playbag the
indulgent husband, and the Inherent
brutality of his mature had on more
than one occasion displayed itself in
angry disputes with his wife, whose
will he now seemed to take a pleasure
in thwarting, even in trifles. He com-
plained of her present extravagance,
with insolent reference to the poverty
of her girlhood, and asked savagely if
she thought his fortune could stand for-
ever agaanst her expensive folliee.

A LOSING GAME
Jinks—Ra, .ha, hal I feel jolly to-

to get an idea, from a friend, and I
acted on it—told her I had noticed
that the prettiest girls were not wear-

As he spoke a wire did break. Both

"Well, mate," said Bill, "one of us
has got to drop. It's a big drop to ,

"No, don't do that, Bill; you'll get 1,

Another wire broke. One more '

Bill dropped. It was a fall of forty
feet. He fell among some rough stumps
of bushes, and rolled down an embank-
ment. Then he rose, and called up
to his companion:
"I'm all right, mate 1 I'm going for

A despatch from London says:—By
a curious coincidence, while the mem-
bers of the House of Coemmons were
praetically confhwd in that so-called
roost condonable of all clubs, a num-
bex of people, men, women. and ehil-
dren, were undergoing somewhat simi-
lar experiences at Earl's Court. Quite
a party had entered, the great wbeel
there known as the "gigantic) wheel
and recreation tower." Tees structure

wheel of the Chicago World's Fair;
but it is larger, the highest, Point of .
the London wheel being three hundred
feet, froxn the ground, while the top
of the Ferris wheel was only 264 feet
high. •
Shortly before 8.15 p.m. on Thursday
the wheel started, with quite a num-
ber of people on board, and everything
went merrily until 8.0, when the strut. -
turn stopped revolving. At first lit-
tle or no attention was paid to the
matter, but as time passed and the
wheel would not budge, those who
were able to do so left the cars, and :
steps were taken to rescue those who 1
were. imprisoned higher up. Ladders I
were procured, and, later, fire escapes
were used. But in spite of all these
efforts quite a number of people were I
compelled to remain aloft. About 1

means was devised to Ieed them and.
make them comfortable for the night..
Eventually they went to sleep, but ;
awoke this morning early and very
hungry. By means of ropes, cans of ,
coffee and baskets of bread and other
provisions were hauled up So them, •
and the work of trying to revolve the
wheel was resumed. But it was nor '
until noon on Friday that the prisoners
were finally released. amid much
cheering from the crowds who ltd
assembled to witness the rescue.

A. fish. that looks like a sucker, but
is so heavily charged with electricity
as to be dangerous to human life, has
been discovered in the Nile. That the
fish was known to the ancients is prov-
ed by papyrus records, but modern men
of science have supposed it to .be extinct.
The old Egyptians called the fish the
"thunderer god," and it was worshipped 1
18 the city of Oryrrhynchos. Scientific
men to -day call it the gymnotos, though
ordinary folk are content to refer to
it as "the electric sucker."
The electrie sucker grows to a length
of about a foot, of which the head and
nose take up, one quarter. There are
far better fish than the gymnotos for
eating purposes.
This remarkable creature exerts its
electric power at will. It kills its prey
and defends itself from enemies bv elec-
tricity. So powerful is the shook the
gyranotos cangive that alligators seek-
ing it dinner among a family of tbe.se
finny batteries are frequently killed.
Although the gymnotos shuns fam-
iliarity with all others of the fish fam-
ily, it does not object seriously to a hu-
man being swimming in the same river.
Should a bather approach too close to
the electric sucker, however, the fish
sends out a few tiny shooks as a warn-
ing that further acquaintance is not
desired.
THE DOG DIED.
An inspector of meat in Paris has
been experimenting on tobacco as a
flavoring for meat and he finds that
the results are peculiarly deadly. A dog,
when offered. the tempting morsel of
beef whine has been subjected to to-
bacco fumigation, detained the delicacy
most emphatically. But when the meat
was cut up and concealed withba the
bread, the clog was betrayed, and suf-
fered in consequence. Twenty min-
utes after eating the food it displayed
distressing symptoms, and died in great
agony.
