She waited with down. cast eyes and quivering lips, ciOnscieus that he was looking at her a if he would read her very soul. Sud enly he turned away, her face had nearly overcome him.

She left him,- and. he watehed her slight figure until a bend in the path hid it from him; then he threwhina- self on the ground where she had eat. The children's voices soon broke the stillness as they bounded along the path, caps and aprons filled with cones and 'wrens. Kneeling on the soft sward, they arranged their baskets, casting curious gia.nces at theetranger, fox -whom the cascade possessed great interest. "Where are Miss Gascoigne's flowers?" oried a Shrill voice'. "Oh! why, here they are, all scatter- ed on the ground," said another. , “Miss Gasceigne don't want them," explained one of the boys. "Come along, then; she will be tired waiting for us," urged the olden of the groap. "Do you live near this ?" abruptly asked Mr. Lorimer as they were going. "No, sir; five miles from here, in the stone house on the Rutland road." He would have liked to ask more, but pride withlaeld him, and be -was soon alone. with his bitter meditations. He had meant to be•magnanimous, and this was his reward. "So," he mut- tered,' "she has taken her own' name." And then he asked himaelf why this girl should still be able to wound him ? Was i love, and not worldly prudence, hat made him wish for her presence? hat feeling prompted, him to take up few of the blossoms that she had uched and place them in a little case that he carried about hirn. Strange to say, he did not speak of this meeting to his sister, for the first time recognizing a wife's claim on his ejlence.I CHAPTER Ma. ALONE IN THE woRtn. The pleasant summer days passed all too rapidly, and in Novetnber Mrs. Pennington and Claire came back to the city. Nothing bad .availed to ar- rest the progress of Mrs. Pennington's disease ; her days were numbered, but while she was restgned and peaceful d Claire fought with all her strength q against the coming evil. She consulted in w physicians, tried, new relate ould have gone 'South, but to re.

Pennington wrote the letter and it to Mr. Lorimer's offi e ; but way all thought of the future, de - t e did -not •share her hope. She ned that her aunt's coinfoet alone d engross her. dusk Mrs. Pennington , awoke an uneasy sleep, asking in in un- ly atrong voice if Barry had ot yet," said Claire. "His may been out." s. Well, we might have ur tea log. We must look our best for nli and then you will put on a pret- ress and ask Annie to bri g up a ad you then, and as W lain' the falfilment of a tO eaSSIMINInal sleep, but it was the sleep that knows no waking. Claire touched the cold forehea,d with, her lips and then shivered in dumb despair. A - knock at the door roused her. It wag Mrs. Barker, the person to whoen her aunt•had rented the house. "Will I send...for any.- one ?" she asked, after a tong look that Claire understood. "I have no one to send to, no one to help me, if you will not," was the low answer. In the week that followed Claire folly realieed her position. Mr. and Mrs. Bark*, did all that was necessary, but on use day of the funeral Claire Was ikupported. and comforted by strang- ers. Mr. Lorimer held to his resolu- tion. There were relatives of Mr. Pennington present, and manyeof Mrs. Penningten's eld friends. These looked curiotisly at Claire, expressed their sympathy, but came no more. She had lost caste, for had she not left her hus- band? Mr. Dupree sent a kind letter; he was too ill to leave the house. A few days afterward a brother of Mr. Pen- nington called on , Claire to explain money affairs. The house and the in- come) reverted to him. Claire might have the personal effects and a small sum that was in the bank. With this she paid the funeral expenses and bought her. quiet mourniing. When everything was settled she had. one hundred dollars, her youth; and a wealth of inexperience. After Claire's return to her Mrs. Pennington . had rented the house to, Mrs. Barker, retaining , the _rooms she needed and her , own servant. - Thus Claire had never. seen any of the people who boarded in the house; but poverty is a foe to exclutiveness, and,having made arrangements to keep a small room, she went down to the parlor the evening afterthe funeral. ' CHIPTEN mil. THE REALITIES OF MFR. The room was occupied by five per- sons, all impatient for the sound of the tea bell. Mrs. Barker introduced Claire to it Mrs. Strong, who took pos- session of her like an old acquaintance. Mrs. Strong was large, powerful look-. ing, and ' middle-aged, with black eyes and thin, straight hair brushed away from a high forehead. Her skin was ark, her nose long, and her i mouth Elite wide. But there was character her face, and her voice was full and dies, sweet. this ""'Yon will find the boarders very a sociable," she said. "Mrs. Barker she makes us comfortable, and we talk like ting members of a family. That is my hue - band near the window. We have no children BO we board to. save time and trouble. Do you like to attend the woman's suffrage meetings ?" "I - never • went to one," said Claire dreamilY. "Some day you must go with me to hear a debate. We have some very am fine speakers in the city at present. That gentleman in the corner is Ore of e no the editors of the Moon. He atid I . I have long arguments on the woraan's the rights question. Of course, he thinks pa- that we poor wornshould be coutent- to quite understand me. As you grow et; you ed with our position I see,You don't oldee you may experience some of the aid injustice I refer to. Look at that Miss ke. Cummings.

Pray, did you , ever earn a dollar?" Claire shook her head. "How - shall .I do it ?" was her mental enquiry. "Then you know nothing at all about • it? Under the present dispensation,girls should not be ,born into the world. Life is too hard for them if they are poor. They simply exist and suffer. It is a great pity that suicide is looked upon as a sin; it would be such a re- lief to some word= to die quietly and painlessly. But nothing can be done to relieve them until the women of the land arise in a body and compel better treatment for themselves. Men will grind them down to the veriest pittance aid ammo' a fortune out of their labor.

However, when the genera hunger was somewhat appeased, sh returned to her subject with renewed vigor. It was evidently a pet argu ment of endless duration, as Mr. Bor den, the editor, and Miss Horan took an. opposite view of the subject, and each was self -convinced. '.Mrs. Strong," _said , Mr. Borden, your weak point is having so many im- portant questions undee discussion at once. In , any -reform imovement the way to succeed is to bend all the avail- able force in one direction, and to per- severe till the end is accomplished. This stepping aside to argue minor points conveye the impression of tri- fling. We are apt to think that our leading women talk to display their eloquence, and that they like theory better than practice. For instance, I was at a meeting the other day and heard four topics debated—the prices of women's labor, the suffrage, social re- lations, and negro equality." They all bear upon each other," said Mrs. Strong. "I cannot see how. Admitting that we live in an extraordinary period, and do not realize the great social changes that this tinnsition state is con- summating; still; to let the women around us the by inches while we theo- rize about those yet unborn is simply absurd." "Give us the suffrage," cried Mrs. Strong, "and we shall settle these ques- tions in a very short time." (To be Continued.) —Robert W. Hanbury, who was member of Parliament for Stafford- shire in 1879, made a remarkably bitter speech to a meeting of his former con- stituents at Stafford recently. He said Mr. Gladstone' s Goverement watienade up of one-half of quacks and one-half of Quakers. Its meinbers in quoting copy book sentences like these: “Honesty is the best policy," "Be virtuous and. you will,be happy," aid so on, resembled the tradesman who sold questionable butter wrapped up in religious tracts.
