You have done more harm than you just now eau real- ize. She must go back!" "Never!" says Hal. Then he tells her how the count has planned to carry her off to Riessia. "Psha,w!" says Jeanne; "that sort of thing goes on in novels, but—" "it is true, every word of it," says Hal. "Think, Jeanne! Put yourself in her place—wouldn't you run away if you knew where to be made a prisoner of, and carried to the end of the world against your will? Oh, Jeanne, I thought you would have felt for her, if not for me!" Jeanne is touched, and the tears start to her eyes as she looks from one to the other. "But what can I do?" she asks, very seriously. "And—and you don't know at what a cost I have obeyed your sum- mons, Hal. We start for England to- morrow." "What!" says Hal, jumping up al- most to the ceiling—he has been sitting on the table. "Whatt you start for Eng- land. Hurrah! Don't you see, Jeanne? How dull you are! Of course Verona goes with us. Nothing better could have happened. Look up, Verona!" and he goes down on his knee to her; "look upl We all go to England to -morrow!" Verona looks up. Very pale is she, and. still frightened; and at sight of the nobly -sweet face so tearful and agitated, all Jeanne's worldly wisdom departs. With a word of endearment, she goes over to her, and puts her arm around her as only a woman can; and in a few minutes Verona is herself again. "But you, Jeanne? You must not stay. What will the marquis say?" Jeanne smiles rather constrainedly. What, indeed, will the marquis say? Hal, who had been kicking his legs from his perch on the table, is struck by another idea. "Look here!" he says, rather ruefully; "I tell you what I'd better do. I'd bet- ter ride back to the castle, and explain affairs to Vane." "Why not let George go?" suggests Jeanne; but Hal has some conscience. "Impossible, he has been too hard at it all day. No, Ell go, and be back as soon as I can; then you can remain with an easy conscience, Jeanne, eh?" It is the wisest suggestion that can be made, and Hal, with a sigh, proceeds to put its adoetion into operation. looking wistfully at Verona, "you are "Mind," he says, lling eMs pipe and iboth to go to bed, and to make your minds easy; Vane and I will arrange . everything, and 210 one need be any the wiser. Look here—Eve got it all eut and dried, Jeanne! You and. Vane can go to the boat in the ordinary way, and Mrs. Fleming can come here and go with Verona! Nothing could be easier or more safe, if we keep quiet!" "Yes," says Verona in a low voice; "if —if—they do not find me before we start!" Hal winces, but only for a moment. "We've got the bays," he says, quietly, 'and we start at daybreak to-morrow— shell be back before then. And now I'll go." "I will go and see about our rooms," she murmurs, and so leaves the two alone together for a minute or two. There are two rooms, a door communi- cating between them, and the landlady promises to make ready the second one— the first is already prepared—for Jeanne. "Will milady permit me to offer her a selection from my wardrobe?" she asks, respectfully. But Jeanne declines. In her own raind she has resolved to ride back to the castle at the break of day and will not take off her habit. When she goes down again Verona k standing at the window peering out at the night and the canter of e, horse's hoofs denotes that Hal haa already started. Suddenly there is a knoek at the door and George appears. "Master Hal, desired me to say, my lady, that 1 should be in the stable if you wanted me," he says, respectfully. Jeanne smiles with a look of satisfac- tion. "Very well," she says. "So we are not left all alone, dear," she adds, put- ting her ISM around Verona. "You are not angry with mei, my dear?" "Angry! aw!" Gays Jeanne ,tenderly. "Who could be angry with you, I won- der?" "I am glad of that," says Verona, sim- ply. "I feared 111111, f011 -Would think perhaps that 1 had dene wrong!

She says 'this, and more, with her dark eyes upturned to Jeanne's, and with the simple stenightforwaraness of cbild. Jeanne bends and Idsses her. "Hal ought rto be very limppyl" she eitya, with something like a wistful sign, "very nappy at winning such love, cr- one; and i—roln very happy,too. And lave you thought of The future, clear? Do you know—of eouree, he has told you—that he is very poor, and not noble like yourself?" "He poen yes," Pap; Verona, quiet- ly. "But not noble!" and her faeo flushes, proudly.

"Let 2110 stay with you" nuirmin•s Verona; but Jeanne, who 'does not in- tend to sleep, and is anxious that Ver- ona shonld, laughingly refuses. "What, and break those good people's hearts by refusing to use the pretty room they got ready for you? See, we will have the door ajar, and to all in- tents it as one room. And don't be frightened if you awake and see me standing beside the bed, watching over you." By a course of judicious soothing and loving banter, Jeanne at last gets her way, and Verona, Worn out by excite- ment and. emotion, lies fast asleep, and Jeanne, who has sat beside her until the derk eyes droop and close, arises and returns to her own room. Wearily she sinks onto a chair, and, pushing her hair front her forehead, tries to -draw the tangled skein of the day's events into order.

All is still within the house, so still that the rustle of leaves on the vine that climbs and covers the balcony sounds on her ears like the distant swish of thes.ea as it flows softly at the foot of the cliffs. The cliffs! the dear old house! "I shall see it soon. in a day or two," she thinks," and her bead droops. With what unutterable feelings she had left it; what anticipations of delight and happiness had mem:epee/led her fare- well, and now—with n long sigh, Jea,nne covers her face in her hands, and the tears trickle slowly through her white fingers, What was the love that had promised to bring her such happiness? For one short day it had lasted, then the long night which premised no re- turning day. A tear drops onto the skirt of her habit, and Jeanne stars; not since the night of her wedding day has she wept; pawl:elms dried up her tears and keeps her heart sore and Itching; but now, in this wayside inn, she tan weep. Is it because she feels 00 lanelv? Is it be- ! cause distance, actual, iangible dis- tance, is between her and the man she love, making the gulf which always stretched. between them more distant and emphatic? With a sudden effort she arises and goes to the window. It is her last night in Germany; and it spent away from her home in a way- side inn. She smiles sadly. "Will they have missed me?" she thnks. "No, they will think I have gone to my room, and Hal will be there and explain everything. If he had missed me, 5"6 would he have cared?

(Washington Star.) It is not true that woman lacks creative genius. In fact, .the inventive talent Is marked in woman. There is usually some- thing original in her 'makeup. The rude mas- culine observer who makes the charge that woman is defective .in creativeness is wrong. Ho has noted that when one woman be- gins to wear a certain or uncertain shape of hat every other woman must have the same shape, be it thapely or shapeless. He has observed that. when one woman switch- es the fullness of the sleeve from the elbow to the shoulder or back again teem one sboulder to the elbow every other vainest must do the same. He has observed that when one woman idesigns to bake a cake she Insists on borrowing the neighbor's setae°, though this argues more for woman's rever- ence for precedent than for her lack of or- iginality. The observer has also ,noted that the first woman got off the first street car backward, and that ever since every other woman has done the same ;thing. - • s DR.

Hemp, las wife, their five sons and three daughters wore making their way south, passed through Jeffer- sonville yesterday. Hemp is well off, as could be seen by the condition of his nine borses and their trappings. The wheel horse of the first wagon had a bell of peculiar tone attach- ed. to his harness. There was not a single dog with the train. The four wagons had been converted into large one -room houses, and were fitted up comfortably, one of them con- taining etn organ, on which one of the Hamp girls was playing Rock of Ages, and singing the hymn to the musical ac- companiment. This was the living room of the girls, while their father and mother and two of the younger children occupied another wagon. The remaining sons occupied the third, and the furth was used as a kitchen and dining room. All of the rooms were equipped with stoves. Hamp for years lived near Battle Creek, Mich, and was engaged in the lumber business until a short time ago. He said he had seen the pine forests con- verted into building material until noth- ing was left but farms. Being a woods- man, be looked around for a new location and found it near Columbus, Tenn.

The young French bacteriologist, Reno Quinton, has confirmed by his researches the popular belief in the curative and constructive efficacy of sea water. He has disco eored that in all forms of sup- erior life, man included, the liquid in which all the internal !einem) are per- petually bathed is chemically identical with the sea water slightly diluted. He deduces that animal life was first form- ed in the sea. Even animals habituated to fresh water contain as a necessity of life sea water from which they are first nourished and vitalized. A strange fact to which sea water owes its peculiar power is that ie con- tains practically every known chemical element from gold to potassium. The animal organism is a sort of sea water aquarhun in motion, and disorder or feebleness in the organs may mean sim- ply that the aquarium liquid is be- neath the proper strength or improperly proportioned. Children are especially sus- ciptible, and at tho Maternity lialpital the premature and weakly are soon brought to sturdy health by treatment with sea water, administered either as a draught or uy subcutaneous injection. Jag of Medium Dimensions. J. W. Mott, elerk and ex -officio assessor of Mussel Fork township, was In Keyteeville the .other day and requested us to say that he was only- medium drunk. When dead drunk ho is a nuisance; when "just medium drunk" he is a eross between an ass and a monk.ey; when sober he is a clever fellow and is nobody's fool. The moral is: Ho ought to stay sober. He wasn't sober en- ough to knew what became of his money, although imitating to his interpretation of his condition he was just "medium drunk." Ho says, however, he remembers having made a donation to some little children and he e•sked us to tell about that, too. But we haven't heard from the children up to the time of going to press. If this write-up doesn't suit bim, w•e will let him compose hls own "obituary" the next time he gets either dead drunk or "just medium drunk." 4 .

(Philadelphia, Telegraph.) It was shown by an exhaustive haquiry of the subject in France that the number of accidents increases progressively hour by hour during the first half day; that after the rest at midday the number of accidents is notably less than in the last hour of the forenoon; that in the course of the second half day accidents again become from hour to hour progressively more numerous mut that the maximum number of accidents to- ward the end ot the svond halt day is not- ably higher than the corresponding maxi- mum in the morning. The influence of the workingmen's fatigue on the production ot accidents stands out clearly from these observations, and it is easy to understand how this comes about when it Is remembered that with fatigue the attention readily di- minishes and disappears. - - ENOLISII SPAVINLININIENT Removes all hird, soft or callpused lumps and blemishes frdm horses, blood giant', curbs, splints, ringbone, sweeney, stifles, sprains, sore and swollen throat, coughs, etc. Save $50 by use of one bot- tle.
