i
ea, it would averOome aaelr, at moments as
"That 1 to tove must siebaect be,
Whiela never thereto would egree,
But still did it defY?"
Jack had given up his tense alti-
tude of listening for those ligba steps
that never came, Which indeed he had
forbidden to come, bat that he had
expeoted all the same, with a long-
ing that turned to aching as the days
went by.
He had seat Blize.beth a message
that he would not see her at anyatime,
that the earison officials would not ad-
mit her, no matter haw loudly and
tong she beat for admission, and she
had not beat so `much as once and
softly—and. the, terrible silence filled
his ears, and heart, and soul, as he.
sat there day after day, and week after
week, alone.
But Elizabeth was very proud, and
once ha had shut the door against
her, no prayer for the reversal of his
sentence would ever cross her Lips.
The woman who claraors in vain, -in-
flicts on herself a double pang, Lor the
Loss of self-respect is even more bit-
ter than the refusal of what she de-
mands.
And Jack could not call her back. In
these long days of loneliness he was
living over again the time when he and
his little Elizabeth had dwelled to-
gether in a world out of which every
one else was shut, save Daffy; when
he was as sure of her love and' faith-
fulness as hie own; wheu his know-
ledge of her goodness, for who could
live with and doubt her? made hire
think tenderly of all women for her
sake, and in the best sense of the
word she had made his house a home,
and shrined him deep in the purest
heart he had ever known.
Wbatsoever thing is defaced and
broken was it not clean and whole
once? There must be a beginning to
all moral defilement; but looking back,
Jack could find no lightest sign to
mark the decadence of all things love-
ly, and of good repute, in Elizabeth.
lie thought of her always now as
one thinks of somebody dead, for the
new woman who had risen in her
stead was not Elizabeth, and he knew
her not.
He wondered if her mother's love
had. gone by the board with the rest
—yet in tne same breath hoped that
Daffy was taking good care of her,
Daffy, whose firm conviction it was
that she needed a great dea.1 of taking
care of, and whom he consequently led
over crossings, to his own imminent
danger, and hers, very often. He was
eiso most particular to explain every-
thing said by the shopmen who served
her, and his high, clear little voice
often brought some amusement, and
a good deal of gentle nommiseration
down on the head of Elizabeth, whose
chief misery in her misfortune was
the eonstant reminder of it she got
whenever she moved abroad or eaw
new faces. Daffy did not konw this,
but he secretly felt himself a much
older and more experienced person
than his mother, a.nd never failed, on
going out, to tell the servants "to take
care of mother," as if she would be in
serious jeopardy until he came home
again.

But strange and true as it was,
that the moment ukase little feet came
into the house, however far away,
Elizabeth always felt and knew they
were there, and she could always hear
his voice a long way off, though a wall
seemed built round her to ordinary
sounds.
Night and day Jack thought of these
two—his only two in the world—a.nd
sometimes he wondered if they prayed
for him now, . . . they did, they
must, just as his own lips framed the
same prayer each night that they had
done in the days of his happiness.
One prayer he had added, that on
the day of the trial he should not look
up to behold her face. The sight
would unman him, and he required all
his strength; still, if he had been able
to endure what he had done, his back
would grow to the burden of the rest.
If, indeed she were there, he wonder-
ed. which -face she would wear ?—the
one that he had known and worship-
ped, or the other, all disfigured and
branded, as it had been that awful
morning, with the terrible stamp of
—but his thoughts seldom got further.
Often, too, he thought of Barry, the
fast friend of over twenty years, wkuo
had remained his friend tong after
bothhad outstripped the ephemeral
friendships that bad strewn their
paths; and wild= he had taken into
his house as carelessly and securely
as if he were his other self.
True they had met but seldom. Bar-
ry dined each night at his club, and
their morning hours of going out were
not the same. It had, moreover, been
an undeestood thing that there was
to be no running in and out of each
other4s rooms, and a message was al-
ways to be sent to know if one pould
receive the other. This rule had al-
ways been adhered to, and Jack could
scarcely have told how it was that
such meetings had become rarer and
naore rare—only one day, whenEliza.-
both was sitting working apaat, too
fax off to hear their voices, shut in
within those walls of deafness in
whicli she sometimes sadly dwelt, and
in whose coldness she must have peri-
shed, but for the Love that surrounded
her, jack caught a look on Barry's
face, quite unconscious, but betray-
ing such a hunger of love and devo-
tion as flashe& upon bine an altogether
disagreeable and unexpected revela-
tion.
The look was gone in a moment; the
next, Barry presented the spectacle of
an ordinary young man iriteritly
Watehin.g a young woman in the net
of threading her needle, threading it,
too, as, if she, loved it, as Elizabeth las-
aurally dia.
Jack had pondered long over the
circumstance, loth to put into words
what he had seen, arid suppoeing Eliza-
beth to be perfectly unconscious, he
elt, it impossible to speak to her on
the subject. And Barry? Ile thought
he had not known his friend's heart

tie saw before him now that frilk,d'

desolate voice rang oat, "His , wen
down while, it was yet day,"
with all the ,strength of his soul he
woad wisa his friend back, and that
one lightuieg moment of crime Un-
done.
In fanoy Barry once more walked be-
side. him, as in those constant days
of compauionship when they, and the
world, were young, and their hearts
were fresh as their hopes were high;
when they mapped out their lives in
glorious 1a.slaioa, and vowed to make
themselves known by all manner of
brilliant deeds, and great thoughts,
and now—Barry bad died before ever
attaining to frame, and Jack's only
'grand achievement, as he thought it,
was wheni he persuaded deaf little
Elizabe,th to be his wife.
Would he have loved her so roach
if Nature had extended her cruel
stepmother's touch on the „girl's ears
to the lines of her face and figure?
I trow not. Idea will do a great deal
for what pleases them, but nothing at
all for that which pleases them not.
And deafness is an unbeautiful thing,
end needs much Love and patience in
those who have to bear with it.
Poor Elizabeth used to Say • that
deaf people were sent into the world
to practice patience themselves, and
discipline others to patience also; but
Jack would, not have changed her for
the most perfect person, mentally and
physically, in the world. But that
was then, and this was not. And on
the inerrow his cell would be empty,
and he standing in the dock.
CHAPTER IX.
"0, gentle Maurice, AEI my bairn,
0, still hini with the keys!"
"He winna still, fair lady,
Let me do what Iplease."
A message from Elizabeth to Jack
was evennow outside his door, though
he did not know it, and indeed, he
seemed to come out of a stupor, in
which he had heard no sound of locks
unbarred, to see a light figure all in
white, save where the gold of his hair
was shining, come dancing in, and
flutter into his arms, with an ecstatic
cry of "Daddy!"
Jack thought himself mad at last,
but here was no visionary touch, only
a very real pair of loving arms throt-
tling his neck, acid soon he realized
that this was indeed his own little
child in the flesh, and nestling his
head into the soft neck and curls,
could have wept. for the jjoy and
anguish of the moment.
"Daddy," said the boy, "my own,
dear daddy, won't you cdme along 'ome
with me, and see mother ?"
Jack did not answer, only pressed
his face down ()loser, and smoothed
with hungry hand the soft head lying
so close with lips warra against his
throat.
'Poor mother,' said Daffy, with a
catch in his voice, "she's growed quite
finn, and said she was so welly tired
she couldn't jest come out to -day." 1
Jack's broad chest was heaving, he
was struggling for the mastery of him-
self, and when he had got it, he un-
loosed Daffy's arms, and, put hina back
so he might kiss him. :
"How do you like my new house,
Daffy ?" he said.
, "0—oh!" eaid Daffy, looking round
with much interest, and speaking in
the wise little voice he usually af-
fected, when not quite sure that he
knew his subjeet, "there's lots of room
for bat and. ball. Shall us 'ave a little
game, Daddy ?"
"Another time, my boy," said Jack,
steadying his voice; "but who brought
you?"
"Rose She's outside with such a
funny old man—got such lots and
lots of keys! I wanted to bring the
mouse," he went on; '"he's so full of
tricks, and growed such a rediklous
person V' He paused to laugh indul-
gently. But mother thought he might
get out—and she have cared for him
SO arid fed him. every day."
Daffy looked exquisitely cared for,
and a very picture of health and hap-
piness as he sae on his father's knee.
He had been born healthy, and pass-
ed triumphantly through all the love-
ly gradations of a joyous. babyhood to
the sweet dignity and majesty of four
years old—the most delicious age, pro-
bably, to his mother, in a child's
young life.
Jack felt the soft warmth of the
dear little boy like the blowing of a
soft wind on a poor wretch scrammed
with cold. and hunger, and for awhile
he only held him fast, saying no word.
But presently;
"Did mother send any message?" he
said. ,
" 0, course!" said Daffy, holding up
to his father's gaze a face upon which
the very paint of Elizabeth was set,
" lots and. lots of kisses, and thanks
with cuxnplements 1"
" Thanks with cu.mplernents," was
Daffer's invariable formula for extra
fervid love.
"Daffy'," said. Jack, holding the lit-
tle fellow away from. hine "are you
quite sure? Can you remember if it
was only one kiss or heaps and
heaps?"
Daffy knitted his soft brows, and
put the best part of a tiny kid glove
in his mouth, to assist raemory, but
at last committed hinaself to the bold
assertion that hie mother had said
thousands—not beeps and heaps.
Jack sighed. ,
"I've got a message for mother," he
said. "Will you tell her, Daffy?—now
tey and remember it—that I read in
a paper the other day that some
things are gold how to make people
hear—and I should like her to buy
some. P11 write the address down, and
put it ii your bosom, and you'el be
sure and give it her ?"
"0' course," said Daffy with an im-
portant air. "New ears for poor Moth-
er—tatt she always hears me."
Jack wrote the address down—,just
that, and tIO Mere—and pinned it
against hte bore soft, warm neek.

The ignorance of the child, his un-
consciousness of anything strange in
his father's surroundings, brought
tears to 'Jack's eyes.
"Ansi mother," he said, with trent-
bling voice, "does mother play and
have games with Daffy now
"Mother tries," said the boy, the
corners of his lips Jailing, "but she
says—mother says she. don't fink she's
quite so young as she used to be."
" Does she ever go out ?" said poor
Jack.
"Not never • and it's' welly lonely,"
went on Daffy, shaking his head,
"and Mr. Woss has goneded away;
but my dear little white rnou.se is so
preetyl—prettier nos ever'!"
A warning knock came at the door.
" 'Spect that's Rose," said Daffy,.
wrinkling, up his nose expressively ;
" she always hurries me; she won't
let me talk to Jenny."
"Who is jenny ?" said Tack, snatch-
ing him up:„rand covering him with
kisses, soe'.' whichsurely must find

"He takes ths pains out of my
shoes," -said Daffy, as the door opened
a very, very little way, as if a kindly
hand sought to gently remind him
time Was up.
"1 wish," he added, wistfully, "he
could take mother's pain away, too,
she says it aches, just here," e.nd he
spread his hand out expansively above
his smart sash. '
The door opened wider; Jack clasped
the boy in a last embrace, and gat him
down. -
"Tell your mother," he said, "your
mother---"
In the distance was heard Rose's
voice calling to the child.
A sudden impulse seized Jack; he
strode to the door, and there, just be-
hind the gaoler, stood the French maid.,
her face white in the dusk, as she cow-
ered away at sight of her master.
What did that look ansi attitude mean
—of what was she in fear? d. ,poor

did not remove his eyes from her
face. .
"Time's up," said the gaoler not un-
kindly, aled Daffy recognizing him in-
tuitively as an enemy, clung round
his father and hid his face in his knees.
Did those little tender hands raake
Jack think of those others that he had
so remorselessly unbound a few short
weeks ago? "
I know not—but when Daffy was
borne away sobbing bitterly by the
woman whom jack felt he could no
longer trust, with a newly added'pang
the husband realized how utterly alone
and friendless hie little Elizabeth was
now.

THE LAUGHING -PLANT.
It Does Net Laugh lieselle Dili Kates
People Idtitgb.
The laughing plant grows in Ara-
bia, and derives its name from the ef-
fect produced by eating its seed. It is
of moderate size; has bright yellow
flowers, which grow in tufts, and
leaves of a dark green color, its fruit
is a pod or capsule, stuffed with a
velvet-like ,padding, in which lie snug-
ly imbedded two or three seeds resem-
bling small black beans.
'The natives dry these seeds, and
then eeduce them to powder. When
adna.baistered in judicious doses the
powder produces effectvery much
like those arising from the inhalation
of nitrous oxide, or, as it is called in
common parlance ' laughing gas."
The person to whom the powder is
given shouts, laughs, sings, dances,
and acts in a ludicrous way. Hes icaer-
riment lasts fe.a about an hour, then
he quietly falls asleep. After several
hours he awakens, and has not the
slightest recollection of anything that
he said or did while under the influ-
ence of the powder.
It is said that an overdose of laugh-
ing -plant powder is likely to cause
serious results, but a small quantity
does no harm.. The powder is sweet,
and it is a common joke to put a lit-
tle -of it into the coffee of some Unsas-
tpecting person, in order to have a
laugh a.t his expense. ...

TERRIBLE POISON.
It Is Thaf With \Vlach .efrican SaVageS
Lblp Their Arrows.
During his last visit to East Africa
Prof. Robert Xoeh procured some of
the poison.eci arrows and. the poison
used therewith by the W.akamba peo-
ple, a primitive race settled. between
Xenia and Kilimanjaro. Prof. Brit g-
er, the head of the Institute for Infec-
tions Dieea.ses, has been making exper-
iments with Waltanaba poison, which
is extracted from plants, and has corae
to the conclusion that it is a heart
poison. In cold-blooded animals it
causes gradual diminutio4 of the
heart's pulsations, and finally heart
failure. In warm-blooded animals
symptoms of poisoning appear within
10 or 15 tolinutes after absorption of
'the poison, breathing becomes diffi-
cult, cries of pain are provoked,
ceamps occur, and death speedily en-
sues. Prof. aBrieger has found that
the active prixicipal of the poison is ai
crystalline body, of which so infinite-
simal a quantity as 0.00005 grain causes
the deatb of a guinea pig weighing 'AO
grams within 20 minutes.
It is believed in scientific circles
here that the investigation of the
Wakaraba poison is of the highest
medical importance, as, it will probab-
ly prove valuable as a drug having a
specific action on the heart. It is hop-
ed .that the experiments will ultimate-
ly show the W.akanaba drug to be as
useful in the treatment of heart dis-
ease as quinine has proved in fevers
and malaria.
