"I Must confess that I am just a

The girl went up to him with tho
papers 18 her hands. How was i
that such strange thoughts and fan
cies bitUnted her 1 She could almost
have believed that, in letters of blood
on the papere, she traced the words,
"The prem. of my life," She knelt down
by the Squire's side.
"I have brought you riches, papa,
freedom from care, happiness, and
hope length of days to enjoy it all."
She bevel forgot his emotion when
he held the papers be his hands, while
he blessed her and thanked her and
praised her as few fathers have ever
all he had done well.
After that, Lord Rhyasvorth began
to beery on the day ed the wedding.
Why Should they wait? He was his
own master ; he had no friends to con-
sult ; and if the Squire did not objeet,
who else should,
"I have waited long °mougb for a
wife, Dolores," hesaid ; "and, now that
t have a most beautiful one promised
to me, why !should I delay? Come
and make my home bright for me?"
She had no reaeonable excuse to de -
for the wedding, nor did she seek for
nor eo the day for the ceremony WAS
settled.
"Who will be your bridesmaids, Del-
ores 1" asked Lord Bhysworth one
day, when they were discussing the
wedding.
She looked up at him in wondering

" Brideseimide 1" she repeated. "I

'The reee-fluehed face and dark eyes

marked. "You thiale there een be no

She could not help seeing the pique
and vexation in his face ; she felt more
sure now than ever that he had,cared
very much for Dolores, and that she
must do her best to lower his estima-
tion of Mesa Cliefden's character.
" It very often happens," she observ-
ed, " that the fairest and sweetest of
faces covers the coldest and most mer
cenary of heart. With all her fair
and fragile beauty, inn:wetly believe
no zed in England is more keenly
alive to her own interests than Dol -

words that they were quite untrue
she knew also that to a man like Six

it came a certain shrinking from her,

Sambor, a Russian spirit medium, is

replete with unaccountable pheao-

bor's wrists were securely bound to
the arms of total strangers, a. chair
on which he had been previously sit-
king was found to be hanging on the
arm of one of the strangers,through
the back of which he still retained
firm hold to the medium's wrist,

appeared to be genuine, and he per-

INGENIOUS BURGLAR ALARM.
An ingenious lock and bur glar
alarm just put on the market may
earn to lessen the chances of success
of future attempts at burglary, etc.
The device is entirely of steel being,
about four inches long and one-half
inch in diameter. Its weigbt is two
ounces. It will resist any attempt to
open a door or window against which
it is placed, and at the same time
explodes a 22 calibre blank cartridge,
It fa so simple that a child can oper-
ate it, and it will undoubtedly prove
of great value to travellers as ‚well
as housebolders. !
