I threatened to make up &fabrication about her previous acquaiut- snce with me which would be sufficient to shake any man's faith in woman. Then she sued to me, pled for her hap- piness, and my success had come. But it was not so sweet as I had expected. I was even sorry for her in my- inmost Own even though I would not w i i't to myself. Well, I saw her frequently after that, and in time Sir Adrian Severne's suspicions were aroused. I encountered him on his own doorstep one day, when I called to see his wife, and I knew from his face that it was all up with her. I didn't -see her that day, and the next thing I knew was the report that Lady Severne had eloped.. There was no clue whatsoever to her whereabouts, but her husband thought then, and thinks stili, that she left him to come to me. I had never intended such a complete wreck of her life, but it seemed as if Fate had approved my work, and stepped in to make it mores complete. From that day to this, Aunt Helen, I have never seen or heard of the woman who was your governess, and .I know that her husband is ignorant of her whereabouts, and that the society which delighted to blame; as it had delighted to honor her would give untold gold to know what be^acne of her. I myself believe her to be dead ; she was looking like enough it schen I saw her last. That is my story, Aunt Helen. Likely enough yon will turn me out of your house now. Well, I suppose it would 'be nothing short of what I deserve." It was a long time before any words fell from the lips of Mrs. Greenway. " It would serve no end now, Jasper ; it would do no good to the unhappy lady whom you have so irreparably wronged," she said at length. " You have great need—greater need than I thought even—to seek a throne of mercy. I cannot believe that it is my nephew, the son of my sister Mary, who has done this fearful wrong. 0 Jasper . i had you no heart ? How could you do It " It is done now, and there is no use asking questions like these. I am to die, I suppose, and I would like to clear Sir Adrian Severne's wife in his eyes, and in the eyes of the world. It is all the reparation 1 can make," Mrs. Greenaway wondered at the calm indifference with which he spoke. Are you penitent, Jasper?" she asked abruptly. " I don't know what you mean," he answered impatiently. " I can't groan, and weep; and call myself a miserable sinner, though I know well enough I am one. But I'm sorry enough for the past, and would undo it if I could. How do you suppose I can set about making re- paration possible now ?" " Where will Sir Adrian Severne be at this season, do you suppose ?" she asked. " At Mount Severne probably ; that can be easily ascertained by inquiring at his club." " Very well. That will be my work to -morrow," she answered quietly,' and,, if need be, I shall take the jour- ney our-n:ey to. Mount Severne. I could not live another day with such a load on my mind. How you have supported it. so long is a mystery to me." " It has killed me, you see," said Jas- per Leigh. " I am very much obliged . to you, Aunt. Helen. I knew you would do it at once. Are you going ? Ask 'Bessie to come and read to me will you ! I fancy I could go to sleep if I heard her voice." "Sparking." Give me the night when the moon shines bright And the stars come forth to meet het, When the very snow is all aglow And the dismal swamp looke sweeten; When the cows are ted, old folks in bed, And young lads go a larking, And no one.by with a prying eye, Oh! that's thetime for sparking. When all the "chores" are done out doors And the hearth is swept up triinly, And the backlog bright, like a jovial Wight, Is roaring up the chimney. listen oft for his signal soft, Till Tray sets up -his barking ; For dogs as well as: folks roust tell When anybody's sparking. I've sat with him till the log burned dim, And the owls were all too-whooing, For don't they spark -too, in the dark ? Ain't that their way 'of wooing? I ne'er could bear Love anywhere, Where folks were all remarking— You act a part but bless your heart, That's not what I call sparking. At public halls, pi3nics and balls, • The lads will try to please you ; But it takes the bliss all from a kiss It anybody sees you. Y Y My old aunt says, in her young days Folks never wooed the dark in. It might be eo, then oh, dear oh, They little knew of sparking. • Alexander McLaughlin.' What Should Boys Read. " Does it hurt a boy to read novels ? Take a clean sponge and dip it into a running gutter, and what is the result The sponge can be cleaned and purified again, but only after much labor. The human mind, my lad, is a sponge, and it soaks up the good, bad and indifferent with the sane relish. The great trouble with novels is the false ideas and vicious theories. It is the same with all stories in the so-called boys' papers, and it is so to a certain ex- tent in many of the boy books. In the first place the boy, no matter . what his age is, is always made to perform feats of valour which common sense teaches is impossible. He never acts' nor talks like a boy. His adventures as a hunter, detective or runaway are too improbable. Nevertheless, as you read you find yourself half believing, at least, and the next thing is to wonder why yot cant be a hero. The story makes youdissat isfied with school and home and! family government, and the first thought is to ruii away or plan some adventure. Even if you say to yourself that you won't be- lieve a word of the story, the mild will soak up many false theories and;absuiid ideas, and later on in years it miay cost you something to get rid of then&.—De- troit Free Press. CHAPTER XXV. womns, —AND WOMEN. A family party were seated at the breakfast table in the morning -room at Mount Severne. It consisted of Sir Adrian Severne, his mother and sister, and Ethel St. Maur, who had accepted an invitation to spend Christmas at Mount Severne. It was her first visit since she had been the guest of Adrian's wife, and she felt the position very keen- ly. So did Adrian ; but, both being of the world, nothing of the inward thought could be gathered from outward tokens. There was a change in Adrian Sev- erne. The deep lines on his brow and about his mouth, the greythreads among -his hair, told what the breaking up of his home had been to him. No person,man or woman, had heard him allude in the remotest degree to his wife's flight, or had dared to mention her name to him since that day. At her son's desire Lady Severne, the elder, sold her recently purchased Lon- don house and returned to overlook his establishment. As a matter of course, Prances carne also, but Adrian and she were very far apart. There was no change in Frances Severne. . She was the same cold, proud, unwomanly wo- man that she had. ever been, loving but one being besides herself on earth, and that was Ethel St. Maur. The bright, unselfish spirit seemed to possess some magic power over her, and could touch what heart was hid within that cold breast. Very sweet, andfair, and love - worthy looked the daughter of Trent- ham Abbey that morning in her rich crimson morning -gown, with its soft trimmings of creamy lace—as sweet and perfect a woman as any man could wish to make the mistress of his home. Had a strange, inscrutable -,fate not seemed to rule Adrian Severne's.destiny she might hare been his wife. But he had loved ones, 'and, though unworthily, for all, and henceforth all women must be the same in his eyes. The meal was finished, and Adrian was busy with his letters, his mother deep in a long epistle from a friend abroad, and the younger ladies were looking into the papers and magazines which had arrived by post. In Ethel's hand was a copy of Vanity Fair. She turned over the pages carelessly, scan- ning the headings of each paragraph, when suddenly Frances observed a deep, painful flush overspread neek,and cheek, and ),row, dyeing even her very finger tips. Then the magazine was hastily laid aside and another one opened. Frances made no remark, but by-and-by, drawing Vanity Fair aside, slipped it unobserved into her pocket, intending to hunt at leisure"for the cause of Ethel's painful confusion. "I am going to Castle Barnett this morning, girls,"isaid Lady Severne;when she had finished the perusal of her let- ter. "Will you accompany me." Marked. An • American who hadlived many years in Europe atates that on 'one on casion he traversed the street of an Austrian city with the chief of police, who pointed to different houses, las they walked along, as the abodes of ithieves or professional gamblers.. Some of these houses were squalid hovels, others were stately mansions. How do you keep them all in yopr memory ? asked the American. "I do not. Look at this," pointing to an almost invisible red mark near the entrance. " That is a secret of the po- lice.. Every rogue's dwelling is so mark- ed. The law has its eye upon him )day and night." Every vicious soul itself marks the dwelling of its body with the sign of its crimes to be read and understood of all men. . No matter how anxiously i the young man hides his sin, he is writing on his face day by day its name and progress, in letters that will never wear out. The bloated eyes tell of the drunkard, the sodden skin of the glutton, the leer- ing eye of the voluptuary,and the pinch- ed features of the miser. ; " A skilful physician," said ;Mr. Beecher," as he walked along the street; can plainly read the history of efrery moral disease in the faces of the passers- by." A learned jurist who died in Penisyl- vania lately held himself haughtily aloof from all the world but his own imn edi- ate family. " I -hate the mob of men," he would often say. " I do not choose that they shall pry into my inner life. f Yet so clearly were his pride, sel•'fish- ness and ill -temper written on hialface that no one could misread his charac- ter.

The typical November day is one on which the atmosphere is lov'eringi, and depressing, although there may be no actual storm. In some households' such weather constantly prevails, and, as a general thing, no one knows the. reason. The causes, patiently traced, usually centre in some onemember. He may not have what is usually meant by " a bad temper," and may go on, day after day, giving others little cause for' active complaint against him. And yet his - personal atmosphere is so depressing that the constitutionally sober are made melancholy by his presence, and the light-hearted find themselves deep in the blues. " I don't see why everybody complains of my manner," once said a most estim- able gentleman. " I'm sure I don't easily lose my temper, and I never say disa- greeable things." b " Ah, but you always - look as if you were thinking them, and that's worse !" answered a candid friend. Repressed criticisin is, indeed, some- times harder to bear than a frankly ut- tered complaint. " If I could only know what he is - thinking?" cried an invalid of a relative who " made her nervous " whenever he spenta half-hour by her bedside. " He looks so critical,and disapproving that I can't help feeling he wonders how I shall ever pay my doctor's bill. He makes me feel I have no right to be ill." As her hearer had reason to know,her supposition was quite correct. Unless a man intends to embrace the career of a hermit, let him look well to his manner, for he has no right to com demn frienels to the perpetual shade of a mental and moral thunder -cloud. • " Are you going to be a good girl ?" asked a -rigid disciplinarian of a small and sulky handmaiden whom she had j ust reproved.
