He satisfied them, however, by saying that urgent business bad brought him down in advance of the others. who would follow in a day or two. He did not think proper to com- municate upon that night the strange dis- covery that had been made to him -in fact, he felt strongly opposed to hearing and answering the multitude of ques- tions with which he felt certain the frivolous Lucy would greet the communi- eation. He therefore contented himself with inquirina. in an off -hand manner, after the health and well-being of Mrs. Hunter's little favorite, Sylvia Grove, and having received a satisfactory an- swer, he pleaded fatigue and retired to bed. Very early the next morning he :trose, ordered his horse, and hastily ewallowal a stip of coffee standing, threw himself into the saddle, and gal- loped rapidly toward Silver Creek, whither we must precede him. CHAPTER XaalCIV. A sharp, cold. clear, sparkling morning in December, with the ground etrvered with snow, with the sun shining daZ- zlingly, the creek frozen hard, the squir- rels hopping through the hare woods, and flocks of snowbirds alighting on the fields. Early Sylvia left her sleepless pillow, and never maiden arose upon her bridal morning with a heavier heart.' She could not think why. She loved Felconer well -she was willing to pass her life with him -yet there lay upon her bosom a heavy weight, a vague anxiety, a sorrow- ful foreboding which she could neither throw off not quite understand. "I hope you will not be maaried 'till I come, for you are very young, dear child." ' These words had been written to her by Mae Hunter, Yet now she seemed to hear the lady's voice speaking them to her -speaking them with irresistible au- thority. And in what she was about to do, she felt an undefined sense of wrong and danger, which she could not reason away. Sylvia completed her toilet as well as she could alone. A. black silk gown, a black cloth shawl, and a little black silk bonnet -her usual Sunday dress-wetes now her wedding garments. Like a star on the edge of a dark cloud shone•her beautiful Mee from these shrouding draperies. She went out into the little parlor, where the breakfast table was set, and where Falconer awaited her: The youth stood at the eltimney- cor- ner with hjs 'elbow resting on the man- telpiece, his head bowed npon his hand, gpon the lady's face, and. she saki, in and his long fingers driven through his black, elf locks. He looked' little like a bridegroom -his fnce was haggard, as with sleeplessness and anxiety. He, too, felt Sense of wrong -doing -felt that it was an unmanly, unrighteous thing to take adeantage of the .gentle girl, and draw her into a marriage that promised nothing but misery. But tie would not forego his se I fish passion -no, not though his bride should die heartbroken; he hurled all misgivings from him, and trempled ell compunction down. The young people scarcely touched their breakfest, and. soon itrose•from the table,- The little wagon stood at the door; Falconer hanaed Sylvia in, entered, drawing Mr. Hunter aside explained to him her wish to remain near the patient until her death. "But our child -but Maud! X have already sent to the stage office and taken places down to .Alleghany county." "Then go alone, Mr. Hunter. Much as I long to see our child, I cannot leave this suffering soul. When all is over, I will hasten after you." "Augusta, you are a (rood woman•" "Carry my heart to ''Afaud. Toll her I am not surprised -I always felt she wns my child, though I did not know it; tell her -but never mind! Speak all your own love, and she will hear mine." Daniel Hunter pressed her hand, say- ing: "I understand you, I feel all that you would have me say from you." And then they talked over some little temporary arrangements, and took leave of each other, Mrs. Hunter returned to pray with her patient, and Daniel Hun- ter, leaving the young people for the pre- sent at the hotel, threw himself into the stage coach and .was rattled down to Allegheny county as fast as the old- fashioned vehicle could conssey him. It was late Saturday evening when he arrived at Howlet Hall. and much too party to the --1 meem did Ellen know whose child it was, that you committed to her care?" "No no -oh, no! she never even sus- pected it, I am sure." "Thenk God!" exclaimed Augusta, fer- vently. ".(ah, it would hare hurt you more if Ellen had been so.wieked? Poor Ellen! she has not been to see me in a long time, it seems to me." Mrs, Hunter did not think proper to inform the sufferer of her daughter -in. law's death. She said: "And now 1 am satisfied about my child. She has grown up a .good and beautiful maiden; she has received no harm ,from thte act that 1 feel *ere you have repented. Now think of yourself!" "Gh, yet! I do repent of taking her tram you! Toward him I have no re- pentance -nine! But toward yow-oni lady, I have always repented -always repented!" "Oh, Norah, repent toward the Lord." "But you -do you forgive me?

I have heard them in my solitude. .1 have heard them hi the night; they have startled me from my sleep! Hatt I murdered you. lady. my sufferings could not have been greater! But I would not give up my vengeance, And 1 could not bear remorse. -And between them 1 maddened!" She paused and covered her haggard face with her ,clark and skeleton fingers. And after a few minutes she removed her hands and her sunken eyes blazed an altered' voiee: "I am dying. yet I eannot ask the Lord't pardon until I have obtained yours, and yonrs I know shall.neevr have. It is useless to speak of it. Gen- tle and noh:e you. are, you could not grant it, even if you would. .1 know ny my own heart that it is impossible. For, as I cannot cease. to loathe him who refused to spare my son, I feel that you cannot choose but .hate me, who bereaved you of yonr little child!" And with a shuddering sigh that shook her whole frame, the wretched woman once more covered her face with her talon -like fingers. Mrs. Hunter sank teewn softly on her knees bir her. side, and bending closely, tenderly over her eaid: "Nrorah. look fte Yeu are deluded. When you sent your glance ao deeply in- to my eyes just nbw, you read no anger, no resentment there.

The sufferer uncovered her eyes, and gazed long and. wonderingly upon the Indy's • heavenly countenance, and then she spoke calmly: , "I tore your young, nursing baby from your bosom, and left you to years on years of auguiele and yet you do not hate me! and yet yon do not repreaeh me!

Miners excavating near Starunia made a very interesting prehistoric find in the remains of a mammoth in excellent state of preservation. So far, says a Lem- berg correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, the portions dug out include two teeth, some six feet in length, but in five or six pieces, jaw bones, parts of the vertebrae column, and three or four yards of hide, upon which the hair is still fresh, joints, and other bones, and one foot of the animel. The re- markable state of preservation in which the skeleton was found is attributed. to the fact that the soil in the district le permeated with mineral oils, earth wax and natural gases.
