"Yea, a great deal too muds for hia

elan ; then aloud, suggestively:
"Perhaps—pardon me—there is some

that question; but Ise gave me his

well, that settles that point!"
rejoined Clifford; "but it is not any
ordinary girl, mind you, whe could pos-
sibly win or hold your oeplieva"
Mr. Orde turned full to the speaker
at that, and came abruptly to his
point, like a smart schooner coming
sharp up into the wind's eye.
"I know that, Doctor Clifford; and to
tell you the truth the -wife I should wish
IBiimtochoose is your charming niece,
Blanche."
"My dear Mr. Orde, I was aWare of
your wish long ago," said the doctor,
smiling. 'And, since you have now spok-

You are quite ihistaken in 131anehe Le-

"Really, sir! Doctor Clifford, this is
very extraordinary la—"
"Not at all," said the doctor, com-
p:sadly, but his eyes twinkling at the
humorous side of the pesition. "I am
not going to make a startling distill:we
ere of youthful depravity, hut ooly
make a few remark e apropos to our mu-
tual agreement that Falconer's , wife
should be no mereecordinaly girl. Now,
Blanche is siinply a very ordinary girl
indeed, despite the pretty ways, sweet-
ness and harm she evinces in society,
but she would make the worst possible
wife for such a man as Falls St. Maur,
to prove which I need not go beyond
a fesv radical unsuitabilities in her. She
could not underatand him one bit. She
is shallow, frivolous, and vain, a des-
perate flirt, and very jealous -tempered
and selfish. 1 may add that I am tol-
erably sure your nephew is fully alive
to the truth of what I have said, pain-
fully enough, I admit, but as a duty in
your boys best interests and your own
in his behalf."
All that Falconer had said of Blanche
in that drive home from Helen's ball
came back tci Mr. Orde's xaind, and
stod side by si i3 with her own uncle's
words. If this were true—and surely he
must know her well—Blanche was in-
deed not the wife for hia beloved boy.
The old man sat dumfounded for sev-
eral minutes as his house of cards; was
thus demolished before his eyes; and
latterly, with the tenacity of years, the
idea had quite taken a hold, which had
lately promised to become -rather overt-
ly troublesome to St. Maur, in -positive,
not negative, interference with his free-
dom which, even if he had not been al-
ready marded, must have ended in a
rupture more or leo selectee:. And per-

CHAPTER KateellL
Par away in the mighty empire citne
where life is so dense and iolittide so
boundless woman sat alone in that
same midnight hoar.
A book lay open on the table beside
lier, but her hand had turned no page;
her eyes, heavy with unshed tears, bad
read no Iine; for hours her whole heart
and soul were absorbedein one never -
absent thought—one central figure,
wreathed round with hopes and leers
end deadly suspense for the end of the
desperate step she had taken. Three
Weeks had passed, that might have been
three times seven years for all this load
of misery and dread and constant im-
pish and patience. She had daringly,
at last, worked upon Lis love for herself
•
knowing it to be in zeal truth stronger
than the passion for play, and sent hins
from her half mad, with that very love
wonaded, humiliated, burning with uns
confessed shame and agony; she had, in
fact, thrown the whole fortune of war
on, it coup de main, tho perilous teat of
extremes, and now what wonder time the
poor heart, so torn in wounding where it
loved, trembled for the result of it own
temerity! More than onenshe had 'been
almost tempted to write even to fly to
him, but bad held back In time.
Somehow to -night she was thinking of
him, picturing him and his surrounding -a
more vividly than ever, if that were pos-
sible, and .with what grim fidelity she
%mold see the whole picture of mad gem.
Wing! Had she not been there with him,
seen 1t all, known it all? She leaned
back and shut her tired eyes with the
ion name on her lips.
"My lover, my husband, oh, come back
to me, or mg heart will break!"
Worn out, she lay still; the troubled
breathing grew more regular and quiet.
Was she sleeping or waking, or hovering
on 'the mysyc border.lanthetween the

or the spirit from; itself front

She saw him, her hoeband, at a table
in the genet blaze and glitter of that
old, too familiar room. There 'were oth-
ers there, hut she had only eyes for one;
and somehme, as he played, the kilesv
that he had lost all but that pile of gold
near him. and saw the reckleaa deepair
and misery in liis soul as he played on
and on; and in a very passioti of love
and angnieh she fancied she (saw before
.her. the words with which she had sent
him from her. She seemed to heat a
passionate cry from his very heart:
"Not less oh, wife—not Ids, but a
thousand times more; and from this
hour never More a gambler's wife 1"
The clock struck twelve, and Chris-
tine sprung to her feet with wide-open
eyes and heaving bosom, lifting her lock-
ed hands above her head in passionate
joy and gratitude.

Change in English Prayerbook.
The accession ,of a new sovereign, in
Great Britain brings about many
changes,, but none, perhaps, so full of
sentiment as the changes necessary in
the Book ef Common Prayer. The name
Edward, wherever it appears, roust now
be changed to read George, in the lit-
any is a prayer for the welfare of the
royal personages close to the sovereign.
Thls:now reads "our gracious Queen Alex-
andra, George Prince of Wales, the Prin-
cess of Wales, and all the royal family."
The pietas frona which the book is print-
ed are being altered, and the following
will appear: "Our gracious Queen Mares,
Alexandra the Queen Mother, Edward
Duke of Cornwall, and all the royal
family." With every change of sorer -
Cigna an alteration similar to thee is
necessary.

A novelty at the Brussels Interna-

two meters long, representing all the
different types of roads that have been
employed by civilized nations. Thus
the visitor is enabled to make a direct

Palmerston, who thereupon issued this

OregonMan's Insect Catcher.
In the country all sorts of homely de-
vices are used to catch the bugs and
kill them, and an Oregon man, who pro-
bably had his apple orchard overrun by
some destructive species, patented a
trap for the pests. A barrel .ha e pieces
cut out of the upper portion, and is
half filled with rotten or bruised ap-
ples or some other odoriferous fruit,. On
top of the barrel is placed A pan par-
tially filled with water, oil or some poi-
sonous liquid. From the apex of 'a tri-
pod that keeps the basin from falling
off the barrel hangs a lantern.
In the daytime the insects will be at-
tracted by the odor of the fruit, and in
flying up to feast many of them are
likely to fly into the water. At night
the lantern is lighted and bugs will
come from afar to flutter against it
and meet their death in the liquid be-
low.—From the Chicago Tribune.
