And she is crying now, perhaps. The

She had been pacing the room dis-
tractedly. This last thought was too
much to bear. She ran to the door,
unlocked it, and went out into the car -
to lall hen.

"Except Jack Ketch. I suppose. God
has given men the instinet of honor,
ami timer teaclies every honest man

The inquest was held at three. Gil-
bert and several of his household, not-
ably the gardener who found the body,
were examined. Dr. 'Webb gen his evi.-
denc,e as to tlae nature of the wound,
and the hour at v:hich death must, in
all probability, have oceurred.
"1)14 you sleep: at Davenant last
night, Mr. Sinclair ?" asked the coron-
er.
"No, I only came up from Ascot yes-
terday' evening, and spent the night in
London."
"Where?"
" At Hildred's Hotel, Jermyn Street."
"Did you dine at the hotel?"
" No; I dined at Francatelles."
This was it venture. Francatelli's
would doubtless have been crowded on
the night after Ascot, and it would be
difficult for the waiters to assert that
Mr. Sinclair had not dined there.
" You dined at Francateles. Where
is that ?" asked, one of the jury, with
rural innocence.
"It is a. hotel and restatteant in Pic-
cadilly."
"How long were yam atFrancatelles?"
asked the coroner.
"I really. can not tell. 1Vly horse had

was somewhat exeited. I may have
gone into Francetellia at eight, and
gone out again between nine and ten.
"And from Francatelli's you went to
your hotel?"
"No," said Gilbert, feeling that there
was a blatus of a couple of hours here.
"I went into the Haymarket Theater
for an hour or two."
"11 this fellaw asks me what I saw
there, I'm done for," he thought; but
happily the corroner was not so nom])
on the alert as to put thet question.
"Have you any idea -what ba.ought

"1 have a very clear idea."

"Coming from the station this morn-

came to my house when he did not
drive from the station, I found it let-
ter whihh it semns to me he must
have dropped there last night."
"You found a letter dropped by the
deceased in Davenant Park?"
"I found this letter addressed toMr.
Wyatt, 'which I conclude must have
been dropped. be him last night."
Gilbert handed the coroner Melanie's

elicited to make the case stronger
against Gilbert Sinclair. The fact of
his departwa remained the only damn-
ing fact against him.
There was also the fact of Melanie
Duport's disappearance on the morning
of the murder, and opinions were cli-
cked as to which of these two was
guilty, or whether both had. not been
concerned in the act.
The newspapers made much capital
out of an event which soon became
known as the Davenant Mystery, and
Constance Sinclair had the horror of
knowing that she was the object of it
morbid interest in the minds of the na-
tion at large. She left Davenant al-
most immediately after her husband,
and took up her abode at Marchbrook,
with Martha Briggs and the little girl
for her only companions, until the ar-
rival of lend Clanyarde from the Con-
tinent.
The inquiry before the coroner end-
ed at last in an apen verdiet. The de-
ceased had. been shot by some person
or persons unknown.
Davenant was formally taken posses-
sion of upon midsurnmer-day, not by
Sir Cyprian Davenant, but by his law-
yer, who installed some of the old fam-
ly servants as caretakers. Sir Cyprian
had left England, a few days before
James Wyatt's death, on his long -talk-
ed -of African expedition.
The year wore round, and the hor-
ror of James Wyatt's unexplained death
Laded out of the national mind, as all
suele horrors do fade when the news-
papers leave off writing about them.
Constance lived her ttuiet life at Illarch-
brook as she had bead at Davenant,
happy with her child, yet naindful, with
a shud.dering pity, of that friendless
wanderer doomed to bear the brand of
Cain. Christmas came and passed, and
for nearly a year she had remained in
ignorance of her husband's fate. Then
came a letter, in a strange hand, but
signed by Gilbert Sinclair:
' Dear Constance, -I am down with.
a malignant fever common to this part
of the world, and generally fatal. Be-
fore I die I should like to ask you to
fargive me for all the pain my. jeal-
ousy gave you in days .one by, and
to tell you that I now believe thatjeal-
easy to be,ve been causeless. n was

"I want to tell trou sbmething else,
which may perhaps distress you.,
but that is no fault of mine. The
ohild you axe so fond of is not
your own. Poor little Christabel was
really drowned, and the little girl
brought to Davenant while you were
ill, is a child adapted for the purpose
of bringing about your recovery. This
plan was suggested to me by trolly fa-
ther. He knows all about it.

rebid oer,
She went to the little one's nursery,
and found her lying with her face bur-
ied in the sofa -pillow, sobbing piteously.
To -day's harsh tones were ber first ex-
perience of unkindness. Constance
threw herself on the sofa, and caught
the child in her arms, drew the little
trembling form to her breast, and
kissed and cried over it.
"My pet, I love you. 1 shall love
you to my dying day," she cried, pas-
sionately, "Hearts can not be played
-with like this. Love can not be given
and. take.n away."
The child hugged. her, and was com-
'forted, understanding the love, if not
the words that tad it.-'
"Belle hasn't been naughty, has she,
mamma ?" she asked, with inneeent
wonder.
"No, pat; but mamma has been very
unhappy. Mamma has had a sad letter.
Oh, here comes -Martha," as that devot-
ed nurse entered from the night nur-
sery. "Do you know, Martlia, I
think Christabel wants change of air.
You must take her to Hastings for a
little while."
"Lor', mum, that would be nice. But
you'll come too, of course. You
wouldn't like to be parted Cram her."
"I don't know that could. come,
quite at tint. I Might come after-
ward, pereaps. I have some very sad
business to atteed to."
Constance told Martha of Mr. Sin-
clair's death, but not a word of that
imposture which hadjustbeen revealed
to her. -Martha, had been as completely
deceived as she had, no doubt, con -
stance argued, for she knew it was not
in the girl's honest nature to assist
ha the deception. The likeness to the
lost child had deluded them bath.

HOUSEHOLD.
...
PREVENTABLE DEFORMITIES.
"I never see it young girl or boy suf-
fering from etrabismus or 'cross-eyee or
afflicted with large, outstanding ears,
without it feeling of great compassion
for them," says a writer in an ex-
change. el cannot help wishing that
it was made obligatory, under a penalty
of some, sort, or fine, for parents to at-
tend to sueh mutters before it is too
late. 'Cross-eye' may be congenital, or
it may be induced by a number of the
diseases incidental to childhood, or it
IllaY be caused by a weakened state of
the nervous system. If from any but
the first cause it may be relieved, if
taken in time, by judicious medical
treatment of a kind required by the
patient's condition. If children have
been born with this affliction, it will
probably need surgioal treatment, es-
pecially if it is it mechanical difficul-
ty. The operation may be performed
veryquickly and. with little pain, as it
consists merely of dividing certain naus-
des, but it must, of course, be done by
a skillful physician, who is also a sur-
geon. There may be incurable cases,
such for instaiaoes, as in cases of (mac,
ity of the cornea, but the majority, of
cases axe readily curable. Such being
the case, what it shame it is to allow

there are more caps than one in vogue

ears, but the Claxton seems to meet this
need, and can be worn night or day

Although snuff taking is now almost
a lost art, snixtf boxes sometimes fetch
long prices and are still in strong xe-
quest with collectors. A. few weeks ago
it collection absolutely unique in ex-
tent and variety came under the _ham-
mer at Christie's. It consisted of 112
boxes and realized the enormous Ictal
of over $76,250.
For one box alone, a Louis XVI., the
bidder paid $9,000, and next to this an
oval gold box of the Louis V. period
fetched 45,500. Others realized §3,000
and 42,950,while a number of =rennet: -
ern designs found ready purchasers at
sums varying from pm to $2,000.
At an auction last summer a silver
snuff box, so old that the workmanship
on the Rd was worn almost smooth,
realized the seemingly ridiculous price

USES FOR OLD CORKS.
Corks are thrown away iu great quan-
tities, and very few people think that
there is any value attached to that ma-
terial after it hits served its purpose
once as stopper of a bottle. Nevertbe-
less, it has become an importa.nt com-
ponent of a eitees refuse. Great quan-
tities of old corks are now used again
in the manufacture of insulating covers i
of steam pipes and boilers, of ce-boxes
and ice-bouses, and other apparatus to
be proteeted from the influence of heat.
Powdered cork is also useful for filling
in horse -collars; and the very latest
application of this material is the fill-
ing in of pneumatic 'thee with cork
shavings. Mats for baLiwroonas are
made of cork, and it also enters into
the composition of linoleum. Cheap life -
