HIGHEST AWARD ST, LOU*, 1904 Won at Last The doctor came quickly, and at once declared that life was quite extinct— that he had always anticipated a sudden death for his patient. Her heart was weak, and so much emotion as had. tried her of late had rendered all exertion, all agitation, dangerous; and probably the effort to rise and sand up, Was the final feather which broke the strained cord of life. There was no more to be done. What desolation there is in that sentence! All the warmth of the most glowing love, all the force of the strongest will, are powerless to roll away the stone from the sepulehre of our hopes, ane death has, p]aped it there! It seemed to poor, dazed Mona that Sir Robert and Lady Mary Everard ap- peared as U by magic. What a solaee it was to throw herself into kind Lady Mary's arms, and tell her brokenly how deeply she mourned the thoughtful if tyrannical protectress, to whom misfor- tune had linked her so closely. "Well, dear, you may rest assured that the near prospect of your marriage •soothed and brightened her last hours, and it is a great comfdiit to know she was in a happy frame of mind. Sir Rob- ert has sent round to Mr. Waring. He will be here immedattely, no doubt, and will be your best support." 'Oh, no ,no! You are the best. You knew poor, dear grannie so well, and she was so fond of you." "Dear old lady! Of course, at such a painful crisis, old Menne count for a great deal. I think, dear, you must come back with me to Charles street. I cannot leave you here alone." "No, Lady Mary, I will not leave the house while my poor grannie lies helpless there. I feel bound to keep by here to the last." A message from Sir iiobert brought Waring as fast as a well-paid driver could urge his horse. He was quite sorry for the old lady, who had always treated him with kindly deference. He was deep- ly sympathetic with his peerless Mona,' but he was principally put out because he knew that in commonest decency his marriagebe delayed. Mona was rite must 2e ed Y not ing the drawing room when he reach- ed it, and he was somewhat discomfited when Lady Mary came and explained that Mona was too much overcome to see him—that she was in her own room. "But she will see me presezltiy, wi1I she not?" he asked, appealingly. "I thought it might be a comfort to her to talk to me." "No doubt it will be. .At this moment she 4s terribly upset." It was not till considerably later— after Waring and Sir Robert had ar- ranged the details of the funeral, and all that appertained to it—that Mona was induced to see her affianced hus- band. Lady Mary thought it was kindest to leave them alone, for. which poor War- ing thanked her from he depths of his heart, but the interview was productive of little pleasure to him. Mona was ready enough to speak of her sorrow. She was gently grateful for his sympathy, but she would not sit beside bim, her head on his shoulder, and his arm around her, nor did she permit a course of consolation com- pounded of whispers, kisses and assur- ances that the whisperer would be bro- Ther and sister and grandmother and everything to her. She was so dazed and overwhelmed. that Waring was gravely uneasy about her, and it was an immense relief to her to know that Mme. De- brisay (who had heard of the sad event in some occult manner) was intthe house, and would spend the night with her fav- orite pupil. r e * * * * * Established custom gathers all things —the deepest grief—the wildest joy. The dreary days—which lingered, yet went so swiftly—sped on, and poor Hrs. New- burgh was laid in her grave. Her will, leaving all she possessed to Mona, was duly read—her few jewels and pereonai- Wes packed up. The former went with Mona to Harrowby Chase. Her books, her favorite chair, a few pieces of plate and china were taken charge of by Mme. Debrisay, and the Green street house, pending the action of the liquidators, was to be let, Mona took cold on her journey, and for a fortnight was very unwell—so fev- erish, in fact, as to wander in her speech, and to cause her kind hosts a good deal of anxiety. Her nerves had been greatly shaken; she was weaker and more de- pressed than could have been anticipated. She was very averse to speak, and used to sit brooding for hours. She was utterly lonely. She had no near relative. The Everards were more closely allied by friendship than by blood to Mrs. Newburgh. She had heard of many other cousins in her grand, mother's life -time, but she felt they did not Count. Of Lord S nderline, her nearest of kin„ she kieew Vet very little, nor was that little attractive. Ponderiga, these things, sherew af- frighted at the stezn aspect of the world she was going to face, for, as she eon tseted her faculties and studied her eir- eumstanees, she grew more and more averse to fulfil her engagement with Leslie Waring. The 'treat motive was gone, and an irresistible longing for free - dein, however poverty-stricken, seized Iter.

Debrisay refused to' harbor her, what was she to do? Mean- time that busy woman flitted to and fro. She stirred the already glowing fire, made the kettle boil up, infused tite tea, and cut the bread and butter with inunense energy, while Mona --having put aside her bonnet and cloak --lay back in a comfortable little basket chair --- indescribable despondenuey expressed iat every line of her form --her hands neap - ed and motiouless.

Why, nothing would please the old Iady as much, even if she were in heaven, as to know the knot was absoluetly tied. You make her hear reason. Let us send for Waring; she has her wedding gown, and we will marry them next week." "I wish I could;' ejaculated Lady M"By the way, what has become of Waring?" "He has gone to see his old guardian about some business; tto pass away the time,I fancy,i1 ti o 1Mnais well enough t to see him. He was quite distracted about her at first, poor fellow. I really do not think she is half as grateful t.o himas she ought to be." "No; I dare say not—it would be un- feminine! But he ought not to put up with such rubbish. Who is this woman she wants to go to?" "I told you, my dear. She is a pro- fesor of music, well known t,o us all." "\Veli, you ought to ascertain what Waring thinks about it—he has a right to be consulted." "I do not think he would object. Then he could stay in London and see her every day; whereas a man so anuch in love is rather a nuisance in a house." "Oh, manage it your own way! Marry them out of hand, if you can. Perhaps it might be as well to let her go; for I want a really nice party to meat Lord Finistoun, who is a capital fellow, and it is his first visit here. Mind. you, I don't think Mona is treating Waring well; you ought to influence her." 'That is not so easily done. She )las some of the Newburgh blood, you know, and thinks she knows her own mind." "Bahl I thought better of Mona." The jovial country gentleman was too much occupied with his pleasures and affairs to trouble about feminine croch- ets ---all than was Lady Mary's work. Meantime, Mona had not been idle. She wrote to her "dear Deb," begging leave to visit her, as she felt herself aft impediment to the party Lady Mary wished to assemble, and also because she had more to say than she could write. This brought a speedy, rapturous re- ply, e- 1 P Then Mona applied herself to compose, rewrite, and copy her difficult letter to Leslie Waring. It was even a worse task than she an- ticipated. A11 her selfish longing for de- liverance was for the moment swallowed up in sorrow for the pain she was about to inflict. Nothing kept her steady to her purpose so much as her conviction that she was doing right—that she was delivering Leslie as well as herself. She was more than one day over her task; for Evelyn Everard, an exceedingly girl- ish girl, who had taken a violent fancy to her, was constantly -running into her room with her work, or book, or for the avowed intention of "enlivening" her. It was accomplished at last, .however, but Mona waited to post it till she was safe in town, even though she left two of Waring's epistles unanswered.

Rarely has t'h'ere been told a more thrilling story of shipwreck and rescue than one which caste from Dungeness on Thursday, During a heavy snow squall on Wed- nesday the schooner Marie Christiue went ashore at Jury*s (lap, a dangerous point near Dungeness, and soon became a wreck. When the vessel was missed, the coastguards set out along a anile or two of the desolate shingle, .Haul diseov- erect her at Jury's Clap. Only her masts were visible, but a number of people were clinging to the rigging, and among them was a wontatt with a baby tightly clasped in her arms. The rocket aparetus was promptly got to work, and communication was estab- lished with the ellere. It wws seen that the woman, who proved to be the cap- tain's wife, was being persuaded to be the first to leave, and there wee an ane fecting scene as she parted with her e'idld and entered the breeches: blwy. She was hauled ashore greatly exhaust- ed, and one by one the others followed. But the most thrilling and pathetic scene was when the captain, with his child, slipped into the basket. Until they reached the land scarcely a word was spoken by the rescuers, so tense was' the excitement. The shipwrecked people had been in the rigging for five /tours, ttnd some of them, especially the woman and the baby, were in a state of collapse,— English Exchange. - : _ THERE IS NOW SUNLIGHT ISSU N� it, 1906 T E MISCELLANEOUS.
