" Tbe most dangerous man in Eng-

"First, let me restore tbe original
papers," he said, handing Lasinnar a
packet. "They are there, unreadable
to the ordinary eye. You wall keep
them in trust fur Stella. Rare are the
copies. Four are love letters, Pure
and simple, written by the future Mrs.
Boldwood to her husband, The fifth
and last is from Mrs Boldwood's fath-
er, and is dated two years after the
date of the otber four, and was writ-
ten, as I understand it, just before
Stella's birtb. It is a letter that may
have helped to bring around the moth-
er's untimely death.
"Will you be good enough to read
them to Inc P asked Lashmar, hating
himself for never having learned Span-
ish.
"N-eynnt, n—yuna, n—ynan 1" began
the statesman, murmuring gibberish,
as she ran bis eye over the page. 'Per-
haps It is 7:artily worth your while
to hear the lcfve letters. Such things
are always alike"
"I will have every word," answered
Laahmar, " If you don't read them I
hall think you don't know Spanish.'
' That is a challenge," said IT ester -
us, "so here goes."
He cleared hisithroat, and began:
• Alas 1 dear one, I know not where
or when I can hope to meet you again.
Not in the chiuroh, or on the way to
hurch. It is too dangerous. Nita
ever leaves me—and I had hard work
o prevent her telling my father of
sir last meeting. I will be in the
garden between seven and nine
o'clock every evening. If there might
be a claance that way, it would be so
sweet to see you again, just for a
few minutes by the little door, while
Nita has gone into the house on some
errand. You know how watchful she
is, and how she always brings her sew-
ing out into the garden to sit with
me. There is so little for .her to do
in the house of an evening. My father
is almost always out of doors at his
()lull or with his friends.
How can you talk of your shabby
coat., dearest? Do you think I value
people for their coats? And if you
are ever so poor ,n.ow, you, wlao are so
clever, are sure to be richsome day.
Of if you are always parr, it will
ma,ke no difference to me. Nita
says my father has a large fortune;
but I have never seen any sign of
riches in aux house. We have no tine
furniture, or plate, or jewels—only
thre things my great-grandfather had
befceee the Perianaular war. We have
all we want, but no more. If ' you
could only see my althea' and talk to
him and get his consent to our mare
the old bag, and tumbling out hap-
hazard. in acts or chapters. Nothing
of that kind for me, Lady Sophia. My
novel is a novel of character ; roy chief
incidents, well—a little look in • the
twilight eyes 'meeting eyes across the
deck et a steamer off Alexandria or
in a clauxeli at Venice, an angry Word
in °the second volulme, a fan dropped
and picked up in the third. Those are
the theft central points, thethree
piers of my bridge; for the restetcruch
and go, Lady Sophia, all touch mad
go. • Wit, satire, sentiment, intro-
spection, self -communing sparkle, and
play of words lighter than thistle-
down."
Stinapala,ted by the idea of rivalry,
Lord Lashmar threw a shadow of ten-
derness in his talk with Lady Carmi-
now across the teacups, which was
very pleasant to the lady. She was
ready to forgive him directly, to for-
give and adore him to her utmost cap-
acity for adoration, would he but re-
turn to his allegiance, throw himself
at her feet and own her as the mis-
tress of his soul.
" Surely I am good enough even for
him," she said to herself.

"Plant life will continue to coavert
our carbonic acid gas back into oxya
gen, as it has done for ages. The
earth's vegetation will not decrease
as civilization advances. The destrue-
Lion of Our forests will never be ef-
fected. so long as man's intellect im-
proves. Such vandalism will be pro-
hibited by law and some day and man-
kind will see the necessity of replant -
dug mighty forests. Moreover, I think
that the hutaan race will always cen-
ter in the temperate zones. Popula-
tion will never materially increase in
the tropics. The jungles and thick
vegetable growths of that belt will
flourish more and more. breathing out
increased oxygen. Furthermore, the
burning of coal, which process con-
(
suanes vast quantities of oxygen, will
cease. Solar engines, storing up vast
quantities of the sun's heat, will with-
in the next century supply us with
our electricity. It will no longer be
tiecessary then to consulme extrava-
gant quantities of oxygen.
' 'Billions of years. Nothing more de-

earthly life by Astronomer George A.
Hill. "The earth will ultimately be-
come like the moon," he continued.
• 'All water on ouri planet's surface
will gradually dry up. \\Te will grow
colder and colder as a result of a loss
of Our moist atmosphere, which acts
as a blanket holding our heat back !
and preventing its escape into space.
Our oceans will ultimately be dry ab-
ysses. All animal and vegetable life
will, of course, go. Mankind will be
dried up or frozen out. After Izsoisture
and vegetation vanish there will be
nothing left to kee.p the earth's crust
dark. It will turn white, like the
sands of oar deserts, as it dries. Snow
well cease. There win be no electricity,
no tlannder storms."

other calamity will meanwhile put an
