His bete noir, Mrs. l/ay- lay, was now permitted to move into the drawing room, where she lay upon the sofa, while hii:a. Onslow and young Ken- neth Morton usually spent their evenings there. Still Carrington always came, and be always asked Mrs. Fano to tang, which she rarely refused. He seemed to enjoy listening, as bo sat silent and immovable, bis tall. dignified figure reelining iu an easy -chair. Ile and Mrs. Bayley was. quite alarmingly civil to each other, as i Mrs, Fane observed with seine amuse- 1 went; but the latter never failed to dart some stinging queries as to his family connections and experiences, whenever ho left the smallest opening. She was growing intensely anxious for Mouton', return. His enforrrd absence at such a juncture was most unfortun- ate. That wretch Mosenthal only passed through town, and promised to bo back in a week, so poor Sir Fred was detained day after day. The weather had been bad and vari- able, and Mrs. Fane was not able to take much exercise; but about a week after thin conversation with Carrington, having left Violet Onslow in attendanee on Mns. Bayley, she called Midge and set out for a solitary ramble tbrough the same woods whore Carrington had walked and mused. She was soon aware of rapid steps following her, and almost immedi- ately a now well-known voice said: "If I am intruding, pray send me away, Mrs. Fane. I saw you leave the hotel and followed. I have some news you may care to hear. May I Dame with you?" "Yee, I ane curious to hear what you have to tell-" "It seems a year since our talk last week," began Carrington, abruptly. "I sometimes fear I may have spoken too freely. But I em bound to plead for my friend; I know be would be glad to be forgiven and I ought to mention that his poverty and your wealth have been. obstacles to his seeking a reooncillation." "I don't see how that affects the ques- tion." "Wel, I think I can." "But your news, Colonel Carrington." "Fane is in England, and most anxi- ous for an interview with you. Nay, hear me out," for her cheek flushed, and her lips parted ae if to speak. `HIS groat desire is to meet your wishes -"to carry out your views. He knows that I have mat you. He is anxious to atone for the past. If a final separation is essential to eyour happiness )u, is pre- pared to assist yon in obtaining it. If -but it is absurd to suppose you would contemplate reunion with him." "It is," said Mrs. Fano, gently, but firmly. "With our memories, our long estrangement, how could wo make each other happy? I am not bitter or unfor- giving, yet I would rather not see Col- onel Fano again." "I must bo true to my friend," re- turned Carrington, with some agitation. "Knowing you as I now do, seeing that you are the most delightful companion man could have, I must make some ef- fort -to rouse your interest and compas- aion. Do sit down hero, and listen to me" "Here" -was a seat placed by a pater- nal Town Council at the beginning of a little wood, on a rising ground com- manding a pretty view of the links and the bay. Mrs. Fano replied by sitting down in one corner of it, and taking Midge into her lap. "I will listen, and then you must," she said. Carrington looked at her for a mo- ment, -with a lingering, pained, implor- ing expression that affected her strange- ly, and then began in a low tone, while he beat the ground softly with his walk - Ing stick. "I grant that Fane mistook and un- dervalued you; .but you, with the can- dor, the justice which seems natural to you, admit that evil influences made you impatient with him, that he was not altogether without provocation. Just think of his lonely and disappointed life -a proud, ambitious man, reduced to poverty and insignificance, by his own fault, I grant, friendless, and left to his rugged and somewhat implacable na- ture. Is it to be wondered at that he did not keep as straight as he might have done, or that he shrank from seek- ing the rich wife from whom, if they were reunited, he must receive every- thing? Now he is wealthy, free, anX- Ores to make up for past neglect either by personal devotion or self-abnegation, do not refuse to see him; let him see what he has loot, and hear the voice that might have comforted him in sick - nese and sorrow! Give him at least a memory to hold for ever of what might have been his." In the ardor of his petition, Carring- ton caught and imprisoned her hand in both of his own, and his voice trembled with passionate feeling. Mrs. Fane was touched almost beyond her self-control, and yet wounded that he should be so anxious to restore her to another. "Surely no man ever had so warm an advocate," sae faltered, her eyes filing with tears. "If you think so highly of me, why aro you so anxious to band me over to a husband who for nine year-:----" "Hand you over to any one!" inter- rupted Carrington, pressing her hand tightly. "You don't know, you can't un- derstand." Then, as she tried to draw away: "I don't know what you will think of me. I have no right to expect you to trust me; but will you grant one request --see Fane once, only once, when yon go to London?" "It would be useless," she cried, strok- ing Midge nervously; "I never can re. turn to my husband, it is more impos- sible than ever. How can you ask me?" The pretty, soft lips trembled, and the moist oyes overflowed. Carrington was suddenly, profoundly silent --a curious, softened expressio natole over his face. softened expression stole over his face. maid at length, as Mrs. Fane, bending over the dog, strove to recover herself. "f can only plead for forgiveness, and leave my unfortunate friend to your mercy. I trust that your indignation mal' not fall on me; mine is a difficult task, but come what may, I will not be a traitor." "No," said Mrs. Pane, rising, "cost what it may, I shall never fall into so low a depth. But I feel disturbed, and unequal to walking further; let us go bask." They went for some dis- fonds in silence Carrington carefully removing every little obstruction that occurred in her path, and watching het looks with wistful attention. "I will think of alt you have urge," she said, as they approached the rolaway trhioh led to the hotel. "You are piling to Lon- dscs, are you not/ Yon must one anti see me there --and 1 will try and make up my mind to some thine. Iiitherto I have had comparative peace. I feel now as if the floo&tt-gates of trouble had been opened." "And you hold sue responsible?" asked Carrington. "No, 1 do not think you can help yourself." "You are right," he exclaimed, em- phntieally ."til;- destiny is no longer in my own hands," As they approached the hotel Mrs.. Fane noticed the bustle of an arrival which was more of an event than it had been a month before, "I will go in by the side entrance." she said, "I do not want to speak to any one. I want to sit down in my own sworn and think." "Do we part friends?" asked Carring- ton, earnestly looking down into her face, "Yes," she said, sadly. "You mean kindly, I do not doubt; but --you do not -you cannot know." Carrington with some hesitation Held out his hand, and held the one she gave perhaps a minute too long. She bent her heed silently, and went iwto toe house. "Is it possible," murmured Carrington, as he turned away towards the sands, "is it possible I am my own rival? The situation is decidedly novel." Mrs. Fane sped swiftly to her own room and locked the (borf, then sat dawn and took off her hat, and, in spite of her worldly experience, her sock' training, her self-control, burst into a fit of crying, stormy and uncontrollable. "Have I lost my senses?" she murmur- ed, "after all I have seen and all I have passed through unscathed, to break down because this cold, stern stranger wants to hand me over to my husband? What spell has he east over me?" "Dearest Mrs. Pane! May I come 131?" said Miss Onelow, outside. "Sir Frederic has arrived!" CHAPTER IV. "So you have come at last!" cried Mrs. Bayley, when Sir Frederic Morton was ushered into the room where she was es- tablished on a sofa, with a plaid laid carefully over her feet. "I am afraid luck is against us. Was there ever any- thing so unfortunate as my acoident?- whioh is due to zeal in your cause." "I wish you had remembered the ad- vice of the French dnplomatflet to his subordinate, `above all, no zeal,"' said Sir Frederic, sulkily. "I can toll you you want all my zeal. Things have not been going on as wo could wish. That Carrington turns out to be a spy of Colonel Fane's - eon - famed it himself; any yet that silly woman has not sent him about his business, as she knows well how to do. I suspect he is perpetually urging her to make friends with that reprobate of a husband, and she will not listen to me when I want to tell her the facts my nephew, Dr. Bayley, is ready to prove." "I cannot make out who this Carring- ton Is; no one seems to know him. Had he not been introduced as an old friend by that tower of respectability, Dalrym- ple, I'd suspect him of being a detective or an adventurer," said Morton, after a pause. "What have you been doing with yourself?" asked Mrs. Bayley. "You ou look awfully thin and worn." "Fighting wild beasts at Ephesus; or, worse, trying to melt that unscrupu- lous old flint, Mosenthal, my dear ally. I a.m working with a rope round my neck. He seems to know all about my doings for the last eighteen months, and is good enough to consider that I have a fair chance of success; but if 1 cannot bring him a promise in writing from Mrs. Fane, within a month from the present date, he will commence pro. ceedings immediately. It's a desperate position." "What do you propose to do?" "I shall press my suit -make a tre- mendous declaration. I have a good ex- cuse' xcuse, for I heard on pretty good author- ity that Fane is in Eagland-arrived some time ago, but has been staying with a sister somewhere in the south., I fancy hie approach will frighten his wife into some decided stein." "Take care. Better wait till we are in London. We might then contrive some compromising situation. Mrs. bane is desperately proud, and infinitely careful of her reputation. She might agree to much if she could save a scandal and follow her own inclination at the same time, for I do not believe she is indiffer- ent to you -she has let no one else hang about her so much!" "True! Well, I'll not lose my chance for want of daring; but-ah"-interrupt- ing ut--ah"interrupt•ing himself -"here is Miss Onslow, bright and graceful as a May morning. How and where is Mrs. Fane?" "She has been out, but felt a bad head- ache ooming on, so she canine bank, and ie lying down. I only stayed to tell her we were going away, as she wishes to be quiet." "Oh, indeed! And pray where are you going?" asked Mrs. Bayley, quickly. "To Aunt Julia's -Lady Preston, you know. She has a large party at 11lobo Castle, and they are getting up theatri- cal, so they want me for a super, I sup- pose. Uncle Methvin is coming, too.

"I shall miss you dreadfully my dear, nevertheless," cried Mrs. Bayley, beam- ing graciously upon her. You have been a sweet little nurse; but 1 am glad you are going to have some "amusement. Next week will, I hope, see us en route to London. I am really much butter, and very weary of St. Cuthberts---" "Theatricals!" exclaimed Sir Frederic. "Could you get me an invitation? III would go a long way to see you not." "Ah, farceur!" returned Miss Undoes "If indeed it were Mrs. Fane, you might take a journey. She acts, as she does everything, charmingly.

But my uncle and I are coming back to dinner; and, Sir Frederic, Mrs. Fane desired me to ask if you will join the party. She hopes to he better in an hour or two. So good- bye for the present.

While coffee was being nerved, Colonel Carrington made his appearance, and it soon transpired that he too had been summoned away, and had called to snake his adieux, as he was obliged to see his friend Dalrymple on particular business, and intended to go on from his place dir- ect to London. Morton grew more ani- mated and full of amusing chaff --anec- dotes of dramatic and other celebrities, club gossip, and all the matter which A goes to make up what is termed brilliant conversation -under cover of which Car- rington asked Mrs. Fano for a certain Gondolier's song, for which ho often pe- titioned. Glad to be saved speaking, Mrs. Fane complied, and when she had finish- ed it, she continued to play on as if in thought. The song had started Dr. Meth - vin on some Venetian reminiscences, un- der cover of which Carrington approach- ed the piano. "You will let me see you in London," he said, low and earnestly. "I might be a less adamantine negotiator between you and Fane than a firm of solicitors. It might spare you something." "I shall not want your services in that capacity," she returned, looking down. "There can be no repairing of our brok- en fetters. Why do you trouble youreolf about so hopeless a prospect?" "I must be true to my word, coats/that it may; nor is it easy to count the cost," he added, almost in a whisper. "When are you likely to be in town, and where?" "I should think within the nest ton days certainly. I always stay at a pri- vate hotel in Half Moon Street." "Thank you. This summons to Dal- rymple is unexpected and unwelcome, but I must see him, though I leave you in Morton's hands." - "No, Colonel Carrington, in my own hands, and none others' with hauteur. "Cann they take a firm grip, though thoy look so white and soft? I believe they can. Do you forgive me for urging the cause of my unfortunate friend too warmly?" "No!" she returned, raising her eyes to his with a smile. "It is an unpardon- able offence." "Perhaps," he said, etiil in the same low tone, his eyes aglow, an air of youth and hope transforming hie farce. "Per- haps when we meet again you may give me plenary absolution?" "That is not at all probable," said Mrs. Fane, Tieing from the piano wlth a strange -to her, very strange -sense of embarrassment. Carrington stayed only a few minutes longer, and Itr•s. Fane etrovo hard to be ae animated as before; but in spite of her efforts, dulness fell upon the party, at least so it seemed to her, for Morton and Mre. Bayley wore particularly lively. At last she was free and alone -free to dream and to conjecture. What could Colonel Carrington mean? She had never been eo puzzled before. Ho was contra- dictory, and more audacious; -yet she was not as angry as she ought to be. But, happen what might, she would never permit him to persuade her to see Colonel Fane -never. The next week seemed to Mrs. Fane the very longest she had ever spent. The weather was unsettled. She missed Violet Onslow; she missed Carrington infinitely more. Morton's incessant ef- forts to amuse and please her in no way atoned for the loss. She was puzzled and vexed with herself; and, as was often the ease with her, self -dissatisfac- tion made her seek relief by interesting herself in the troubles of others. She listened kindly to Morton's rose-colored account of his difficulties and depres- sion. He fancied he was making way with her; still some subtle consciousness that matters were not ripe enough to hazard a second declaration, held him back. He was surprised to find she was not overwhelmed by the news of Col. onel Fane's return. Yet, on thq whole, he and Mrs. Bayley were satisfied with his progress. "I think we shall do now," said Mrs. Bayley, one morning, after the doctor left her, when she found hercelf alone with Morton. "That old humbug secs I am determined to go, so he has given me leave to travel this day week. It's frightful to think of all he will charge for what I could have done as well my, self.„ "I don't suppose you will pay him?" "I? Certainly not; I was distinctly on service when I hurt myself, and am entitled to surgical aid." Morton stood before the fire for a moment or two in silence, and then said: "I must go to Edinburgh to -morrow." "Why?" "Because I have come to the end of my cash, and I know a rioh old fellow who used to manage my affairs when I was a youngster, who has lent me a hun- dred now and again, which I have al- ways been careful to repay. He is a sure "Its is very awkward having to leave just now; can't you write to him?" "A personal interview is more effee- tive; besides, I shall have to sign pa- pers, etc." "I am afraid you aro a very bad man- ager. I don't at all like your going." "Will you lend mo fifty yourself?" with a laugh. "No, my dear young friend, it would have an ugly appearance when the in- evitable revelation of all things takes laoe .

From a technical and commercial standpoint the alcohol motor begins to receive more favorable notice, because it . shows decided advantages over others - the petroleum motors for instance. The alcohol is changed from its fluid into gaseous form, and after being mixed with atmospheric air is ignited by an electric spark, so that open flame and smoke are avoided.

Tho Literary Man's Chickens. An Indiana man tells of the efforts of an author belonging to the Hoosier school of historical novelists to put in his leisure time as a "hen farmer" in that State. The literary person's venture afforded his agricultural neighbors no end of amusement. During his first year the amateur far- mer discovered that all his little chick- ens, which were confined in coops, were languishing at the point of death. The novelist wept over his "hen literature" to locate the cause of the trouble, but to no avail. Finally he called upon an old chap named Rawlins, to whom he put the question: "What do you suppose is the matter with those chickens?" "Well, I duuno," said Rawlins. "What do you feed 'eat?" "Feed them!" exclaimed the novelist - farmer, "why, I don't feed there any- thing." "Then how'd you s'pose they was a- n' l?" ``I prestoumiveed," replied the literary per- gaison, "that the old hens had milk enough for them now." -Froin Lippincott's Mag- azine. 1�'fj _ROOF �� NOW � r There is one roof'that saves money because it will last 100 years.

In the recent ease of State vs. Hen- nessy, 90 Par. Bep. 221, the Nevada Supreme Court gives a definition of the slang phrase "all in," The question arose in connection with the admission in evi- dence of a dying declaration, the declar- ant's statement that he was "all in" being relied on to show that he was under a sense of impending depth. The court said: "The expression '1 ant all in," is one frequently made use of in this western country, and when used under the circumstances in question may, we think, be taken to have meant that the speaker considered his life was prac- tically at an end." -Law Notes. *4* ENGLISH SPAVIN LINIMENT Removes all hard, seat or calloused lumps and blemishes from horses, blood spavin, curbs, splints, ringbone, sweeney, stifles, sprains, sore and swollen throat, coughs, etc. Save $50 by nsc of one bottle.
