(•'In Silverton," was the reply, and
so he came on in the morning train,
meeting his mother in Springfield as
he had half expected to do, knowing
that she could leave °Nctw York in

Those *veru happy moments which.
they passed together upon that ledge
of rocks, happy enough to atone for
all` th( tdreudful past, and when at
last they rose avid slowly )retraced
their steps to the farm -house, it
seemed to 'Mark that iTelen's cheeks

CHAPTER LI.
in the sante train with 1lrs. Dank-
er and Mark, Bell Cameron came
with Bob, but father Cameron was
not able to come: he would gladly
have done so if he could, and he sent
his blessing to Katy with the wish
that she night be very happy in her
;second married -life. This message
Bell gave to Katy, and then tried to
form some reasonable excuse for her
mother's and J 0n0's absence, for she
could not tell how haughtily both
had declined the invitation, Juno
finding fault because Baty had not
fitted longer than two years, and
rs. Cameron blurring her for being
'so very vulgar as to be married at
home• instead of in church. On this
point Katy herself had been a little
disquieted, feeling how much more
appropriate it was that sho be mar-
ried in the church,, but shrinking
from standing again a bride at the
same altar where she had once before
been made a wife. She could not do
it, she finally decided; there would
be too many harrowing memories
erowding upon ' her mind, . and as
I1Torris did not particularly care
where the ceremony was performed,
't was settled that it should be at
le house, even though Mrs. Deacon
Bannister 'did say that "she had'sup-
•posed Dr. Grant too High Church to
do anything so Presbytcrianny as
that."
Bell's arri• al 'at the farm -house
wits timely; for the unexpected ap-
pearance in their midst of one whom
they looked11pon as surely dead had
stunned. and bewildered the fancily to
:such an extent that it needed the
-presence of just such a matter-of-
fact, self-possessed woman as Bell,
to
irit5 things
back to their origin-
al
in-
al siuti>s. It was wonderful how the
;city girl fitted into the vacant
niches, seeing to everything which
needed seeing to, and still .finding
time 10 steal away alone with Lieu-
tenant Bob, who kept her in a pain-
ful state' of blushing, by constantly
:wishing it was his bridal -night as
well as 1)r. Grant's, and by inveigh-
ing against the weeks which must in-
terveee, ere the day appointed for
the grand ceremony, to take place in
(Trace Church, and which was to

and leading her slaughter -in-law to

'The carriage from Linwood stood
at the farm -house door, and Katy,
wrapped in shawls and hood, was
ready to go with her husband. There
were no tears shed at this patting,
for their darling was not going far
away; her now house was just across
the fields, and through the soft
moonlight they could see its china
ivy tops, and trace for some little
distance the road over which the car-
riage went bearing her swiftly ou;
her hands fast locked in Morris's, her
head upon his arta, and the hearts
of each too full of bliss for either to
speak a word until Linwood was
reached, when, folding Katy to his
bosom in a passionate embrace, Mor-

and a peace, sleeper than they loud

ried pair at Linwood.
CHAPTER LII.
The scene shifts now to New York,
where, one week after the wedding a
t
Silverton, Mark and Helen went, to-
gecther with Morris and ICaty. But
not to Madison Square. That house
had been sold, and Katy saw it but
once, her tears falling fast as, drive
ing slowly by with Morris, she gaz-
ed at the closed door and
windows of what was once
her home, and around which lingered
no pleasant memories, save that it
was the• birthplace of baby Cameron.
Lieutenant Bob Reynolds had
thought to buy it, but Bell said
I "No, it would not be pleasant, for
your pearls, for you will be most as
much a bride as Katy, and I have a
'et. pride in seeing my son's wife appro-
a
ln;,iately dressed."
Softly the night shadows fell
around the farm -house, and in the
r" ams below a rather mixed group

a cold, and it settled on my lungs. I got
so bad I could not rest at night. I had

C'amero:l. too, though glad that Ka-
ty was married, and fully approved
her choice. threw into her manlier so
much reserve that 'Katy's intercourse
• with her was anything hut agreeable,
and she turned with alacrity to fath-
er Cameron, who received her with
open arms, calling her his daughter,
and welcoming Morris as his son,
taken in Wilford's stead. "My boy,"
he frequently called hien, showing
how willingly he accepted him as the
husband of one whoin he had. loved
as ;his child. Greittly he wished that
they should stay with him while
they remained in New York, but IKa-
ty preferred going to Mrs. Banker's,
where she Would be more quiet, and
avoid the bustle and confusion at-
tending the preparations for Bell's
- wedding. It was to be a grand
church affair, and to take place dur-
ing Easter wool_, after which the
bridal pair were going to Washing-
' ton, and if possible to Richmond,
where Bob had been a prisoner. Ev-
erything seemed conspiring to make
the occasion a joyful one, for- all
through the North, from Maine to
California, the air was rife with
songs of victory and the notes of
approaching peace. But alas! He
who holds our country's destiny in
his hand changed that song of glad-
ness into.awail of woe, which, ech-
oing through the land, rose up to
heaven in one mighty sob of an-
guish, as tho whole nation bemoan-
ed its loss. Our President was dead,
and Now York was in mourning, so
black, so profound, that with a
shudder Bell Cameron tossed aside
the orange wreath and said to her
lover: "We will be married at home.
I cannot now go to the church, when
everything seems like one great fu-
neral."
And so in Mrs. Cameron's drawing
room there was a quiet wedding, one
pleasant April morning, and Bell's
plain traveling dress ,v0S far more
in keeping with the gloom which
bung over the great city than her
gala robes would have been, with
a long array of carriages and mer-
ry wedding chimes. Westward they
went instead of South, and when our
late lamented President was borne
back to the prairies of Illinois, they
were there to greet the noble dead,
and mingle their tears with those
who knew and loved him long before
the world appreciated his worth.
Softly the May ruin falls on, Lin-
wood, where the fresh green grass is
springing and the early spring flow-
ers blooming, and where Katy
stands for a moment in the bay win-
dow of the library, listening to the
patter on the tin roof overhead, and
gazing wistfully down the road, as
if watching
for some one; then turn-
ing, she enters the dining -room.
Aunt Hannah and Aunt Betsy are
visiting her this rainy afternoon,
while Morris, on his return from
North Silverton. is to call for Uncle
Ephraim and bring hint home to tea.
Morris and his young wife are very
happy together, and Baty finds the
hours of his absence very long, es-
pecially when left alone. Even to-
day the time drags heavily, and
she looks more than once front the
bay window, until at last Brownie's
head is seen over the hill, and a few
minutes after Morris's arm is round
her shoulders, and her lips are up-
turned for the kiss he gives as he
leads her to the house, chiding her
for exposing herself to the rain,, and
placing in her hand three letters,
which she does not open until the
cosy tea is over and her family
friends have gone. Then, while her
'husband looks over his evening pa-
per, she breaks the seals one by one
reading first the letter from 'Mrs
Bob Reynolds," who has roturued
from the West, and who is is the
full glory of her bridal calls.
"I was never so happy in my life as
I ant now," she wrote. "Indeed, I
did not know that a married women
could be so happy, but then every
woman has not a Dob for a hus-
band, which maks a vast difference.

you, blessing the day which brought
you to us, and saying that if he

There were tears in Katy's eyes as
she read this letter from hell, lead
with a mental prayer of thonksgitr-
ing that she had been of any Use
in guiding even one to the Shop-
herd's Fold, she took next the nod

back so vividly toiler mind the
daisy -covered grave at Alnseick. Mar-

sioeo men have sailed the sea, It re-
mained for the Yankee skippers to de-
velop this phase of ocean carrying to
its highest degree. Tramping on the
ocean is only another name for trad-
ing, and many are the stories extant
of Yankee skippers swapping beads,
mirrors, calleo, knives and other trifles
for ivory in Africa, and for commodi-
ties equally as valuable in other lands.
The tramp steamship came Into ex-
istence during the War between the
states, and It Is to this type of vessel
that England primarily owes her su-

The Rights of a Mail Box.

Qu. -It is lawful to place the rural
mail box within four feet of the
travelled road.
(2) In case a vehicle is broken by
coming in contact with a mail box, who
will be responsible for the damage?
dIAns.-The regulation with regard to
placing rural mail post boxes is, "that
1 they shall be placed neer enough to the
travelled road to enable the caurier to
deposit the mail in the hox without alis-
! mounting from his vehicle," I elteel.1
think that the post might be placed
` even nearer to the travelled road than
four feet.
(8) If the posts have been legally
placed near the travelled road, those
driving vehicles along the road should
take care not to run into posts. The
posts are there for the convenience of
the public, just as bridges are placed on
the highways for the convenience of the
public. If a traveller comes in contact
with the side of a bridge and injuries
his vehicle he would not have any legal
right to claim damages from anybody,
and on the same principle a traveller
coming into collision with a rural mail
box post eannot claim damages from
anybody, but the traveller *nay have

Almost any woman is apt to feel bad

It is far worse for a woman to marry
a man she can't love than it is for a
man to love a woman he ean't marry.
Air Pressure.
At the level -of the sea the pressure
of the atmosphere on the piston of an
eneit:e is about fifteen pounds to the
square incl', but decreases at higher
altitudes. As this atmospheric pres-
sure must be overcome by the steam
l.r asure before any work can be done,
it is evident that at the diminished
air pressure of high altitudes more
work can be obtained from a given
pressure of steam than at the sea
level, or, in other words, an equally
effective pressure of 'steam can be Ob-
tained with the expenditure of less
fuel. The difference, however, is not
great enough to be of any practical
