"All these months past I have been
ttruggling with my love, somethnes flat-
tering myself that I had crushed it under
foot; but when you speak it always
arises again, and ever masters me. I
thing it was the knowledge that you
were not happy -that he was cold and
and unkind to you-"
"Ahl" comes struggling through
Jeanne's parted lips.
"Sometimes I have felt that I could
lay him dead at my feet; but my scorn
for the creature who could be cold to
you saved him; I pitied. him, Jeanne!
But now I !mow that his heartless con-
euet has driven you from him, hate him,
though he has driven you to me! Ah,
Jeanne, when I heard that you had gone
without a word, without a sign, I knew
-I knew that I had been right to wait
patiently, and that the hour of my re-
ward had come; and see, Jeanne, my
love, my goddess, I am here at your
feet!" and he kneels and clasps her
White and horrified, Jeanne looks
down at him, struggling for the pewer
ef speech. She has not struggled to
thrust him from her, not to shrink
sway from him. She feels rooted to the
spot, fascinated by the working, agitated
face upturned to her, with such an agony
of appeal and prayer. At last her voice
comes, hoarse and broken:
"Are -are you mad?" she says, biting
her lips.
He smiles.
"Sometimes I think I am, Jeanne," he
says. "But why need you be so fearful?
There is no danger. The hour has
mime when I can speak out. To -morrow
we shall be miles away; Spain, Italy,
where you will; any place on the earth
will be heaven enough for me, if you are
by my side."
"Oh, Heaven!" gables Jeanne. Then,
with an effort, she tears her arm from
his clasp, and, bounding away from him,
draws herself up to her full height.
With a glance of doubt, with a sud-
den inward gathering of alarm, he looks
up at her.
"Jeanne!"
"Silence!" she gasps. "How dare you
call me by that name? How dare you
speak to me as you have done, unless
you are erred! How dare you follow and
insult me! Rise -no, stand back! One
other such speech, one step toward me,
and I call for help. I am not alone and
unprotected, as you deemed, you cow-
ard. Coward!"
As if she had struck him, Clarence rises
and staggers away from her, a deathly
pallor spreading slowly over his face.
"Coward!" he echoes, wildly.
"Yes, coward!" repeats Jeanne, pas-
sionately, her face and eyes ablaze,
"Would any but the basest coward that
ever drew breath follow a woman and
Insult her, as you have insulted me? You
love me. You are incapable of love. Men
love, not reptiles that creep and crawl
along a man's hearth for months, to
choose the moment when they deem his
wife alone and helpless, to follow and
insult her! You level! You dare tell
me that, and pretend that I knew it -
knew it months agol So you think that
1 would have lived an hour in the same
air you breathed, if I had known.

loathe you! I detast! I scorn you!"
Breathless, panting, she confronts him,
one hand extended as if to cover him
with the acorn and contempt which ring
In her tones and. flash in her eyes.
Clarence leans against tbe balcony, his
eyes fixed on hers, his lips moving for a
moment in silence; then he stands up-
right, one hand grasping the rail of the
balcony, the other wiping the cold sweat
from his face,
"I must be mad," he utters, looking
the past few months -remember ! With
-whom has Vane spent all his time -re-

ed between them -words and glances
whieb, unless you have been deaf and
blind to your own welfare, must -must

flect; there is still time. Snap the
chain which binds you to a man who
has treated you with studied coldness,
and who has, by .his time. seized the
oportunity of setting another woman in
your place; one word, Jeanne, and 1 am
yours, as completely your slave as I
have ever been. Ah, Jeanne, you will
not leave me and such love as mine for
a man who does not, and never has loved
you? Jeanne, speak to me. One kind
word, and all your cruel ones are forgot-
ten. Jeanne," and he kneels again to
her.
Jeanne does not move, does not hear,
apparently, for a minute; then she looks
at him.
"Arise," she says, coldly, as if he were
some dog who had exhausted her pati-
ence. "You are mad, indeed; and if you
were not, if all you had said were true,
listen to the last words you will ever
hear from my lips, Lord Lane. I would
rather be the life-long slave of him you
traduce, living in his hourly scorn and
contempt, cowering beneath his actual
cruelty, dying for one word of kindness
from him, than breathe the air you
breathe. Go !"
He arises -staggers, rather -to his
lfeet, and stands before her, with the face
and manner of a man crushed by a sud-
den age.
"You -you love him I" be says
hoarsely,
"I love him, and I loathe you!' she
says. "Go!"
Without another word he stoops and
picks up his hat, and, like a man smitten
with sudden deereptitude and blindness
makes for the steps, guiding himself by
the rail. Once, with his foot upon the
step, he turns, but her extended hand
scornfully dismissing him, ssems to re-
call him to a sense of manhood, and,
steadying himself, he raises his hat.
"Good-bye, Jeanne," he says. "Heav-
en help us both."
Then he goes down slowly, step by
step.
Arrived at the bottom, he bows his
head and stands in the cool breeze, mo-
tionless, as if to recover his strength.
Then he turns and without a back-
ward glance, inakes for the wood

For a moment Lord Lane thinks it is For a moment he stands motionless,
then he opens the window and enters the
room.
The sound of his light step aruses her,
and Jeanne turns her head, staring
wildly.
Then, without uttering a word, she
reads in his face that the past is swept
away; with a low cry, she holds out

death itself.
Vaue's hand trembles, hesitates for
half a second at the fatal thrust, then
drops, and Clarence is spared. With fold-
ed arms Clarence stares as if Ito could
not credit his senses; with point lower,
Vane looks sternly and silently at him.
1 Then he throws his sword from him,
and slowly buttons his wristbands. -
Clarence starts, as if from a dream,
and stoops instinctively for his sword,
but arises without it. .
"You -you -despise your advantage?"
he says, hoarsely.
"I spare your life, yea," says Vane,
"as you would not have spared my hon-
or."
Clarence trembles and his face works.
"Vane—" lie says, brokenly,
"Sileeme" says Vane. "Let there be no
words between us. You can tell me noth-
ing that I do not know. We part here.
Lord Lane, forever."
Clarence's head droops.
"So be it," he says and he slowly puts
on his coat and waistcoat.
Then be turns and looks at Vane with
the agitation that threatens to master
him.
"'Vane," he says, "I -I have wronged
you. As you say, no words can better it
or make things even between us; but I
will say this that I am not alone to
blame. You have much to answer for. If
you have overheard all that has passed -
well, 1 say no more but this -had she
been happy, no word, no thought nor
wish of mine would have wronged you!"
Vane looks at him, and a spasm of pain
passes over his face.
"Heaven forgive us both, as I forgive
you; now go."
And without a word more, Clarence
turns and is swallowed up by the dark-
ness.
Vane waits until his departing foot-
steps have died away, then goes hurried-
ly in the direction of the inn.
Having reached the steps of the bal-
cony, he pauses.
Gone from his face, completely ban-
ished is the haggard, drawn look that
has disfigured it so long, gone, vanished,
is the cold, stern wrath which recently,
crying for vengeance, distorted it half
an hour since, and in their stead is the
dawning of a great joy, which once more
makes the face like to that which used
to look so lovingly at the wild, light-
hearted Jeanne of the Nancy Bell.
At the foot of the steps he pauses,
and, with lowered head, waits to still
the tumultuous beating of his impatient
heart. Speechlessly he looks up at the
window where had stood his beautiful
young wife, vindicating her honor and
repulsing so nobly, so bravely, the
tempter.
If he had never cared for her, he
would have loved her to -night; judge,
then how impetuously burns the pas-
sionate adoration which has been so
sternly kept under for many weary
weeks and months.
As he stands looking up, it seems that
the interval between this hour and the
hour when he hld her in his arms -his
wife -passed away like an intangible,
troubled dream, the gulf closes to yawn
between them never again; all vanish
like clouds before the sun- thedoubt,
distrust, coldness, and despair. Between
him and the woman he loves so passion-
ately -whom he adores now -lie only a
few steps. So great, so deep is his emo-
tion, that he almost dreads to traverse
them.
At last he goes quietly up the steps
a vision of his distempered bram.
"Vane!' he says.
With a gesture Vane silences him, and
pointing to the wood, motions him stern-
ly to proceed.
Clarence obeys, and takes a few steps
then stops.
Vaneoturns and faces him -calm, com-
posed, but with an ominous glitter in her arras, and the next moment Vane

STRONG WORDS BY A NEW YORK
SPECIALIST. -"After years of testing
and comparison I have no hesitation 4n say-
ing that Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart is

BOW TO KNOW TUE IIORSX YOU
BUY,
Never have a horse brought out, or
up, or down, to you, but go to the stall,
and investigate for yourself certain de-
tails which, once you know them, re -
quire no special acumen to decide upon,
or to be aware of: For instance, is there
grain in the manger, and the hour of
feeding some time past 2 He may be a
bad feeder, nervous delicate -well to call
the veterinarian's attention th this
point. Is the straw under his fore-
feet unusually trampled or broken? May
be one of these irritable nervous "weav-
ers" (horses which const'antly sway from
side to side), who are generally also bad
feeders and poor property. Are the
stall posts or sides battered or kicked?
He may be a kicker (by day or night,
spoiling his own rest and that of the
other horses). Does he tear, or eat
his blankets ? Is Inc tied in any special
way or simply and as other horses are?
Is he gentle to approach and to han-
dle -no nipping, kicking, or pulling back
on the halter? Does Inc stand square
on both fore feet, or rest one or both
alternately? Does he back quietly from
the stall, picking up each hind leg with-
out sudden spasmodic jerking? and
when he turns in the gangway does he
do so smoothly, or does lie flinch (in
front) as if the boards were not even, or
his feet hurt him snore or less ? Are
his eyes staring and expressionless, his
ears always forward?-mdicating defect.
iv° vision.
Once out of the stall, notice that he
submits quietly to being wiped over, and
betrays no resentment, while harnessing,
at accepting the bit, bridle, crupper, etc.,
etc., and decorously permitting all ne-
cessary alterations and attentions. Ac-
cept no departure from absolute docil-
ity of deportment; for be sure that if
the animal betrays either excitability,
nervousness, or vice in the dealer's hands
he will be far worse with you, for yon
know you don't know, and he will know
you don't know -and those combinations
spell trouble. In the same way see him
led out and put to the vehicle to which
he is to be driven, noting each stage of
the process, viewing him always with the
icily critical eye of the individual who
does not (yet) own hint. Excuse noth-
ing, and make no allowances for less, If
he enakes a move you don't fancy say
'no frankly, and. look further- there are
plenty of horses. -1'. M. 'Ware, in The

White Pine About Exhausted.
There is food for natural reflection in
the statement by a newspaper represent-
ing the Michigan lumber interests that
"to all intents and purposes there is no
white pine here any more." The fact
ean hardly be ignored that the case pre-
eente an example of undiscriminating tar-
iff policy. No intelligent protectionist
will deny that the purpose of a protective
tariff is to foster and inerea.se the do-
mestic production of the staple on which
the duty is laid. No man with Ilia eyes
open can dispute that the effect of teh
tariff on lumber has been to hasten the
destruction of (Inc white pine forests.
When forty years of that duty has end-
ed in wiping out what was the most in -
portant supply of lumber in this tountry
the rerusort for continuing the obstacle
against drawing on other countries for
our lumber needs is hard to perceive,
Business Gospel.

gether of its several parts are assets of

A Mince Pie Story.
"Once when I was a reporter," said
David. Belasco at a holiday dinner, "I•
spent two days with a gang of tramps ill
order to get material for an article ou
tramp life.
"These tramps were a merry lot. They
had as many stories to tell as the end
man of a minstrel show. The excellent
mince pie that we have just been eat-
ing reminds me of a mince pie episode
told by one of the wanderers.
"He said that a friend of his, one
cold day in January, lcnacked at the
kitchen door of a farmhouse,
"Well,' said tho farmer's wife, 'You
hero again 1'
"Yes, ma'am,' said the tramp respect -
felly. 'I want to, know, ma'am, if you'll
be kind enough to give me the recipe
for that there mince pie what I had
hero yesterday.'
'Well, (Inc idea!' cried the farmer's
wife. 'Land salces, man, what do you
want that recipe for?'
"To settle in bet,' replied the tramp.
Sly partner says you use three cups
of Portland cement to one of molasses,
but I claim it'e, .only two and a half.'"
Lord Rosebery.
(Chicago Chronicle.)
There may be two opinions about Lord
Itosebery's character as a politician, but
there can only be one as to his occasional ap-
pearance in the capacity of a man or let-
ters. In the domain of history end litera-
ture he touches nothing which he does not
adorn and his range is a wide one -from the
imperial captive of Si, Helena to the inspired
exciseman at Dumfries. Ills address at
Dumfries some years ago on Burns was one
of the finest things of tho kind to which
Scotsmen had ever been treated.
