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? not ifted with very fine feelings. and " 1 asked 911bert.

He was not in the habit of standing upon much cereraony in his intercourse with Gilbert Sinclair, and on the first convenient occasion questioned him with blunt direetness upon the subject of his raa "I hope the alliance has brought you all the happiness you anticipated ?" he said. "Oh, yes. Jim," Mr. Sinclair answer- ed. rather moodily. "my wife suits me pretty well. We get on very well to.

She was herself perfectly candid upon the sub- ject. Sir Cyprian was an old friend— a friend whom she had known and Ilk- . ed ever inee her childhood—and Mr. Wyatt' s news had quite overcome her. • She did not seem to consider it neces- sary to apologize for her emotion.

"It's rather lucky for you that you didn't marry a poor man, Constance," 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 man you liked, ehl, Constance'? That's about what you mean, isn't it ?" "Is this Intended for a complaint, *Gilbert?" his wife asked, in, her cold- est tones. "Have I been epending too much money ?" no, I didn't mean that. was 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 a fool I have been," "It is not a trumped-up story," re- turned the other.

There must be a great number of peep le imprisoned in the destroyed buildings, who cannot be released for hours although thousands of citizens have offered their aid to the police department to help the work of rescue. Every hospital in the city is filled with victims, and there is a lack of nurses, physicians, and medicines. At the morgue which stands at the corner of Twelfth and Poplar streets, bodies are being brought in every minute. One thing that hindered. the work of taking out the dead and rescuing the injured was the prevailing darkness. This even prevented communication be- tween the various parts of the city. To add to the dismal situation, the rain welch fell shortly after the tor- nado passed be.gan again about 7.30 o'clock, and came down itt torrents for hours. agency. The lawyer shrugged his shoulders de- precatingly. "I dui not tell you that the parting should take .place within any given time," he said; 'but it shall go hard with me if I do Hot keep ray promise sooner or later." 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.

My daughter has stepped pest- ering me for a necklace. I happened to get an idea, from a friend, and I acted on it—told her I had noticed that the prettiest girls were not wear- ing jewelry now. Winks—By gingerl try that dodge myself. Jinks (the next- d.ayl—Hello, Winks, did you try that anti -jewelry game on your daughter?' Wioks—Y-e-s•'and now my wife is raging around, because she thinks I've been staring at pretty girls. I wish I'd bought the necklace.

Both peen, hanging together, were in dan- ger of being precipitated to the track below. "Well, mate," said Bill, "one of us has got to drop. It's a big drop to , make, bat as you're married and b.ave three children, I don't see why I should stay- here." "No, don't do that, Bill; you'll get 1, killed, surely.

"Good -by," answered his companion, the tears running out of hm eyes. 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 help." The station was half a mile distant. When the poor fellow reacted it and had told his story, he fainted away. The doctor fouud that he had broken both his arms and one of his ribs; but his brave actioe had very likely saved Ids companion's life. ALL NIGHT IN' THE CLOUDS. An Accident to the Earl's Court Wbeel— .4, Number or Persona imprisoned all 'Night in Compartments Three linutired Feet Above the Ground. 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 is an imitation of the famous Ferris 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 xnelnight they got hungry, and every ; 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. LOOKS LIKE A SUCKER.

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. A TRAMP IN DOUBT. Perry Patettic (in the road)--W'y don't you. go in? De dog's all right.
