Gilbert )went home that evening after the Two Thonsand savage, with his mind full of scorpions. Goblin's S110 - cess was as nothing to bina. He hardly reraetubered that one of his horses had won a great race for the first tirae since he had kept horses. He haa counted. on James 1,Ve-att's fidelity just aa he read °owned on his hoise or his dog -a, creature bought with nis raotteY, fed, and housed by him. Wyatt had profited by him; Wyatt was bound to stand.by him; and es te these various slights which be bad pat upon his eon fidentiel adviser at divers times, al- most unconsciously, it had never ea.. 'erred to raim that there could be any galling wound. left by such small stings, the venom whereof was to react upon himself. If he hai heaped favors upon the man, if he bad been the most unselfish and devoted a friends, he could not lia.ve felt enaue.e, Wyatt's treaohery more keenly. He was angry with him- self for having been so easy it dupe, for having given inn num power to get the better of him. "The whole thing is a planned re- venge," he thouglet. "Wyatt knew how it would gall me to see Sir Cypria,n back at Davenant," And. Wyatt had flung a fire -brand into that revelation about the pre- tended German doctor. Could it be, Gilbert asked himself, or was it a mal- icious invention of 'Wyatt's? Would. 1.ord. Clanyarde have lent Maisel/ to such a deception? Even Lord Cla,et- yarde might have been hoodwinked by his daughters lover. "1 won't accuse her, not yet awhile," he said to himself. "It will be better to keep quiet and watch. I have been too ofeen away. I have given her too much license. That innocent face of hers would deceive Satan himself. And I have allowed neyeelf to think that thee was no guile in her; that, al- though she has never loved, ate, she has never wronged me. Hard to find, after all, that I have judged her too leniently." le was after midnight when Mr. Sinclair arrived at Davenarit, and he bad to ring up one of the servants to let him in, his return being altogether AUCTIONEERS. 11 BOSSEN BERRY, General fel- eeltatid Atictioneor Sales cendnotee in alit -arts.

Ile did not tae Constance until the next. day, and by this time had regained the mastery a himself. The position of affairs between hus- band and wife since Mrs. Sinelair's re- covery had been a, kind of armed neu- trality. Gilbert, had never alluded to that. awful day on which he had rais- ed his hand against his wife, nor had Constance. Doubtful whether she re- membered that unhappy occurrence, and deeple ashamed of the brutality into whaeli passion had betrayed him, Mr. Sinclair wisely kept his own coun- sel. To apologize might be to make a revelation. H% remorse showed ite self by increased civility to his wife and a new deference to her feelings, for which sbe was duly grateful. Gen- tle, submissive always, sbe gave her husband no cause of offense, save that one rankling sore which had begun to gall hira direotly the triumphant sense of possession had lose its power to satis- fy -the consciousness that. he had never won her heart. This smoldering fire needed but a spark of jealousy to raise a fatal flame. Constance expressed. herself much pleased at Goblin's SUCCRSS. when Gil- bert announced the fact,. with very lit- tle elation, on the day after the race. They were dining together tete-a-tete in the spanious• paneled. room, which seemed so much too big for them. These ceremonious late (natters were Constantia's aversion in her husband's absence she dined early with Christa- bel, and spent the long afternoons walking or driving, and came home at twilight to a social tea-party with Martha Briggs and baby. "1 didn't think you eared about race- horses," said. Gilbert, as if doubting the sincerity of his -wife's congratula- tions. "Not in the .abstract; they are such far-off creatures. One never gets on intimate terms with them. They are like tbe strange aniroads -which the Emperor Commodus brought to Rome -articles of luxury. But I am very glad. your horse has won, Gilbert, on your account." "Yes, it's a great tritunple for me. If I can win the Derby I sball be sat- isfied. Racing is confoundedly expen- sive, and I've had quite enough of it. I think I shalt sell Goblin and. the whole stud after Epsom, and the new stables into the bargadu, and then 1 shall improve that great barrack of a place in the North and aettle down. I'm sick of this part of the world. It's too d—d civilized," added Mr. Sin- clair, forcibly. "Do you mean that you would leave Davenant 1" asked Constance, with as- tonishment. 'res. IT ought to have told you, by the way-Davenant ceases to be mine after midsummer -day. I've sold "Sold Davenant !" "Yes. I have never really cared for the place, and I had a good offer for it white you were ill. Things were not looking very well in the North just then, and I vvas in event of money. I dare say you'll be pleased when you, hear who is the parc,haser," added Gil-, bert, with an uncomfortable smile. Constance seemed hardly to hear the latter part of leis speech.

Except to see Goblin win the Derby -a feat which that estimable animal performed with honor to himself and satisfaction to every one save the book- rnen-Gilbert had not been away from Davenent since the Two Th.ousand. Re had been told to look for treachery at home, and he was there ready to seize the traitor. No mouchard in the secret service of the Parisian police was ever a closer spy than the husband who doubts yet dotes, suspects yet fondly ON es. That he has seen nothing in all this time to confirm his doubts was not enough to convince Mr. Sinclair that they were baseless He was willin to imagine erofoundest hypocrisy in the wife of Inc bosom, a brazen front un- der the semblance of a pure and inno- cent brow. Even that devotion to her child might be a. cover for a guiltier love. Her happiness, her tranquil- lity, gave him new ground. for suspi- don. Was there not some secret well- spring of contentment, some- hidden source of delight, ma.sked behind this fair show of maternal affection? These were the doubts which Gilbert Sinclair was perpetually revolving in his mind during this period of domes - tie bliss, and this was the aspect of affairs up to the fifteenth of june. Ascot races were to begin on the sixteenth, and Goblia was to falfill Inc third great engagement. This was an 'occasion be- fore. which even a husband's jealous fears must give way, and Gilbert had. made u.p his mind to see the horse run. He had not carried out his idea of sell- ing Goblin after the Derby. Jackson, the trainer, had. protested vehemently against such a breach of faith with him, who had made the_ horse. "That there 'oss is to wen the Leger," said the indignant Jackson. "If he don't I'll eat him, pig -skin and all." Gilbert felt that to part with such a horse, for ever so high a price, would be to cut up the goose that laid the golden eggs. "A horse can't go on winning great races forever, though. There mu.st come a turn in the tide," suggested Gilbert, sagely. "We should get .a pot of money for him now." "A gentlem,en couldn't sell a 'oss that had joist won him the blue ribbon of the turf," replied Jackson, with a burst of chivalrous feeling. "It would be too 'mean." - Gilbert gave away. to the finer feel- ings of his trainer'and, took no step toward cutting short his career on the turf. Things were looking livelier in the coal -pit district, he told himself, and a few thousand a year more or leas could not hurt him. He would - carry off his orginal idea, take a place somewhere near Newmarket, and establish his wife ana-the child there Under ordinary cmcumstanc,es he would laave taken a house at Ascot daring the ra.ce • week for the accom- modation of himself and a selection of choice spiel -Ls with sporting tastes, where the nights rdight have been en- livened by blind hookee, or poker, or some equally enlightening recreation.

A despatch from Huntsville says On Friday night about 11 o'clock this village was visited by a fire which caus- ed the lass of four lives and seriously endangered a fifth life. The prenlisres burned were owned and occupied by 3YIrs. Quaife, a widow, with whom re- eided her daughtei, Mrs. Phillips, wi- dow of the late Bernard Philips, and her four children. Visiting her also at the time were Mrs. Spencer Quaife and the latter's two children. Shortlyafter the occupants of the hou,se had retired for the night, an - alarm ef fire was given by Eva Phillips Mrs. Philips and Mrs. Qu.aife, with ma- ternal solicitude, at once ran upstairs to try and assist their children to es- cape. They were not seen alive again, however, and it is surmised that they were overcome by the smoke and, losing consciousness, perished. All of the other occupants succeeded in getting out with the exception of Mrs. b. Quaife's two children, who both perished in the flame. Tessie Phillips, de -lighter ot IVIrs. Phillips, was burned so badly that her life Is in danger. The building., being of frame, burned SO rapidly that tbe brigade owed not Faye it, and c,onfined their efforts to saving the adjoining dwellings of Mr. Reee and 1Vre• Longfield, in which they succeeded, Jessie Phillips, youngest daughter of the late Mrs. B. Philips, died next day at 3 o'clock frdm burns received, the lower half of the poor child' body being frightfully burned. Tbis -makes the fifth victim, SIMPLE CURE FOR INSOMNIA..

To Preserve Plums. -Take fine, ripe, blue plums; weigh them, and to each pound allow 1 1-4 pound,s of loaf sugar. Spread the plums out cm large dishes and oover them with half the' sugar you have allotted to them, if you use loaf sugar powder it, and let them lie in the sugar all night. Next morning pour the juice from the plums into a porcelain preserving kettle, add the half of the sugar to it, and let it melt over the fire. When it has boiled skim it, and then put in the plums . -Boil them over a moderate fire for about 45 minutes, then take out the plums one by one with a ,spoon and spread them on large dishes to Geol. If the syrup is not sufficiently thick and clear, boil and skim it a little longer till it is. Put the plums into glass jars, and pour the syrup, wa,rna, over them. The flavor will be much improved by boiling In the syrup, with the fruit, a handful or more of plum kernels blanched in scald- ing water and broken in half. Take the kernele out of the syrup before you pour it into the join. Egg Plmnts Preserved Whole. -Take large egg plums that are not too ripe and prick them all over with a :small fork.

TRICKS WITH FIGURES. How Thew Allitegretroils)c.rts Startle Timer "Every now and. then a mathematical prodigy bobs up," said a man who dotes on figure's, "and. the people go wild over him. In some oases be really is an expert, but there are so many tricks with figures that the ability to corn - puts a. long mem is no% evideuce that the man is more than a sheep trickster. To illustrate, if you will give me it per- fect cube, I will tell you. immediately what the cube root of it is." An arithmetic was hunted up and the' figures given, 12,087, No sooner were they repeateci than he gave the cube root as 23, which was correct. He made • no mystery of the fact that ha arrived. at the answer by a clever trick, and x 1. d: ' All you. need to extract cube rootsi is to have a small table firmly fixed' in your mind It consists of the cubes of .the numbers from 1. to 8. The cube I of 1 is 1, of 2 is 8, of 3 is 27, of '4 is 64 of 6 is 125, of 6 is 216, of 7 is 1343,of 8 is 512, of 9 is 729. "Now, if you examine these cubes you will see that the cube of 2 ends in 8 and the cube of 8 ends in 2. That is one point to remember. Then again,1 the cube of 3 ends in '7 and the cube of 7 in 3. All others end with the same figure which has been used as a fac- tor. 'When o, cube is given to you to ex- • tract the root, you first nets the 'thou- ' sands.' In the one you just gave me the thousands consisted of two figures, 12. As soon as you. mentioned thein I thought, 12 is between 8 and 27., the cube of 2 and 3, hence the root is be- tween 20 and 30, or, the first figure must be 2. Then I paid no attention to the-otber figures until you cams to the last. When you said 7 I knew at ; once that the second figure of the root , was 3, because the cube of 3 always ends in 7. That is all there is to it.. You can learn that table and go out and astonish your friends as an expert ' mathematician. I charge you „nothing for my instruction." .Then Babe seas Stele we env° her Caskets. when ishe was it Child, she criLd for Castoria. When:she became Niss, she clang to Castoria.

When one is travelling, or is in a crowd he should carry his money in such a way that pickpockets and thieves cannOt get hold of it., Many a hard- earned dollar has been lost by careless- ness in this respect. One of the queerest sights, says an exchange, is to see how different im- migrants carry their money. Most English immigrants carry their coin in a small cas.e attached to a chain, whiclr they keep in a pocket as they would a watch. Irishmen always have a little canvas bag in which notes and eoins are crammed together, Irish girls, outhe other hand, generally have their money sewed on the inside of their dresses. Germans carry their money in a belt round their waists; and the belt is usu- ally an elaborate ana costly affair, no matter how poor the imnaigrant may be. The French mostly carry a small brass tnbe in 'which theycan place forty or fifty twenty franc' pieces, which can be removed very rapidly, one at a time. There are few.Italians, who do not car- ry a large tin tube in which they keep paper money or sneer loins, and this tube ia hung round their neck by a small chain or cord. Swedes and rcor- vvegians aro sure to have an =men* pocket -book that has generally been us- ed by their fathers and grandfathers before them, and -which Itas in it en- ough leather to make a pair of boots.
