Lashmar found his mother eating by the fire in her morning-roorn, with her book table and reading lamp be- side, her, but with no appearance of having been reading. She was eeated in a deapondent attitude, gazing dreamily Into the fire. She started at her son's entrance. "Well, have you heard of her V" elm Laid at one, "Not a word. She has disappeared 'utterly. Both Nestorius and 1 have hunted for her all through Brunam. The police can do nothing to help us," "Than isuppose it we must resign ourselves to the idea that she has gone forever," said her ladyship. "She has been very ungrateful." "Oh, mother, what cause had, she ox gratitude—except to my brother? Vhat kindness have you or I ever hown her ?" " We beve given her such a home as he could have had nowhere else. But or our kindness she would have had o earn her bread by the sweat of ve brow. She must Lave been a do- mestic servant or a factory girl." "She would never have remained a ; servant or k factory girl,. She is It genius, mother." And then Load Lashmar told his mother about the proofs that he had read and of Nestorius's and the pub- lisbee's praise. • 'What then ?" asked her ladyship. " That book is the fruit of refined sur- roundings, of years of elegant leisure. I tell you she had the strongest rea- sons for gratitude—,and yet knowing herself useful, almost invaluable tome to me e sick woman—she leaves- me without compunction without a word of regret." ' 'Then you do miss her mother; you •are fond of her" exclaimed Lashenar, with flushed cheeks end brightening eyes. "Fond is too -strong a word" she said; "I like my servants ; I become attaceed to them even when they are useful and tfaithful ; but I ara never fond of them." " But she is not a servant ; she is gentle born, •hes been highly educt - ed, is gifted fax above other women. Ole mother, be human if you can.

She gave LashIrnar another crayon out of her crayon box, and, unseen by the ,rest, Le wrote his question on one of the slates. " Is it necessary that the slates should be underneath the to:hie ?" asked Nestorius. " Could tbey . not be held above it ?" 'Yes,' answered G,riselda; "above the table if you like." At her direction they all stood up in in a otrole and held tbe double elate above the table. For some minutes there we silence; teen came the scratchini sound as before; and Lashe max felt the vibration as the pencil traveled along it. Then came three sharp taps with) the pencil, signify- ing that the message was finished.

'otgan and again the vielagete wished to make him Iturgenrister or Biagi- strate, but he weuld not aceept the position. In 1817 he was a rich man, but two years later he 'was poor owing to bis almost unexampled gen- eresity during Oberammergau's long rdeal of trouble. The virtues of "The King LI Oberammergau" shone ' forth very brightly alien a large part of the viaage was burned and many families were hemeless er with- out father or brother to eupport them. Johann Lang supported the village. To these who could work he gave work w.hethar their servieee had pre- sent eatua to him or not. To those who coald not work he gave food, shelter and clothing. In 1849 he was poor simply from his lavish giving. He had (nit, two sons, both of whom he had educated In the Iaw. Thus the spell of the succession in the craft of woodworkers was broken and the business passed into ether hands. One of these saes was long Burgomaster a the village and was better known to the outside world as the Caiaphas of the "Paselen Play."

"Was it my brain that impextied the pencil?" he said. "Had my thoughts any eleetrieal power winch transmit- ted meaning through a self-acting 1 slate penellt It seems like madness." "My poor Victorian," she murmur- ed, "to think that you who were once ea serisible should fill your mintewith such foltesi On the eve a a general election, too, when you. want all your wits about you." Lashmar walked up and down the. room in silence, for a few minutes,, and then came back to his mother's; chair and stood looking down at her. "Yao, are not very angry with me, I hope, moldier," he said softly. pP4ila,„theri:tilaoutrigpmaa ifttarawihrlioarpr Qualyud very few r vevv4pec.4t11.0114118:17e°4t:i4ecce:Z.:71,:n on, I ROCENTRIO MILLIONATRES, It iti, net many months einee there dieeppeared from the streets ef St. Secretaries one essiteeets Perform be. reetteeasea met, ot the wealthiest pub! : Prritious amount of labor and careful 1 ROYAL ELOQUENCE. jerete of the Czar. tbought tlae single Royal duty ef pub - As the ,Grathtt=ht, said is as 6hi, ;lie speaking involves; many eeeea to htulutar,gueieyou otlever; "Teh:rav:hporleetteyity new ; lmaglue that the Prince of Wales, for for cue time or Auother to mee:trttaill: (4 11&S tongue,jnelarc•astiPYeecallte3441°traebezitti ixas, best with age, poorly eiad, notice.
