fluttered around her.
ever was any fate mare full of staid, -
ling contraste than hers, Brought up in
the Midst td Unbounded extravagance
and unliraited indulgence, Wee had never
known a wish ungratified. The tete earl
had been a prodigal all his life. The
establishment he kept up at the castle
was magnificent. There were whole
troops of Oomestic servants, and car-
riages s and horses almost without uum-
ber; and profusion reigned. alike in the
hell and the kitchen; no one ever looked
after anythieg; and of this extravagant
and unlimited household Lady Florence
had been sole mistress almost from the
time she had been able to walk.
True, there was a stately oid house-
keeper, even as there were a. butler and
steward; but ethe chief •occupation of
the servants at-Severnoke Castel° seemed
to be, in -lain. aud perhaps somewhat
vulgar English, what is generally
known as "feathering their own nest,'
The earl himself seldom, if ever, came
tof'leVerneke; heaves engaged in a round
of dissipation arid pleasure that emptied
hie well-filled coffers rapidly,
. The end of his career came at last, and
Lord Wyverne awoke from a long dream
of telly and indulgence, to find himself
old, feeble and ruined: ' Of his large for-
tune nothing remained. The estate which
was entailed, was already pimiged into
debt and difficulties. The sale of every
personal effect he had in the world would
not clear it; and, worst of all, no pro-
vision had been made for his beautiful
young daughter. At his death, when
Severnoke Castle passed into the hands
of 'Ws heir, the poor girt would be home -
lees and penniless.
it Was this fad that tortured him
above all others when he came to his
senses, but he was powerless t6 help
himself. It was then too late to unto
the evil he had done, The last few
months of his life were embittered by
this knowledge; it shortened his days,
and Lady Florence knew nothing of the
dark future that lay before her until she
stood by her father's death -bed. Then he
coefessed his folly and his crime; but
he knew not where to tura to find a
friend for his unfortunate child. Ife
had not one. •Men had drunk and gam-
bled with Lim, and had taken his money
in debts, but there was not one among
his old companions to whom he could
now turn in his hour of bitter need.
Lady Florence wets even more friendless;
she had spent her life tit the Castle, and
no one visited there. The only relation
she had. was Lady Blake; some distant
cousins of the earl's were still in Eng-
land—the Dudleys of Houton—but they
refused to acknowledge the prodigal peer
during his life, and they refused to assist
his daughter after his death. The next
heir, the present Earl • of Wyvern, was
young, and a mean, parsimonious dis-
poiition. His disappointment, upon
taking possession of the title and
estates was deep and bitter. He spoke
of the late earl as of an unprincipled,
dishonest man who had wronged him,
whoselde had been a disadvantage and
shame for all connected with him. And
thie he did in the presence of the child
who had never known anything but in-
dulgence and tenderness from that same
father, and who had loved him with all
the warmth of her young heart; so
that, when the young earl offered to
Lady Florence a meagre income from
the estate, she indignantly refused it,
and told him that she would rather
starve than be under any obligation to
the man who had slandered her father.
• Something like pity seized. him when
he saw the, young girl bid farewell to
the stately home where she had so long
reigned as queen. But she passed out
of Ms life, and he was easily .consoled
for the slight pain he suffered.
Lady Blake offered the friendless or-
phan a home; but the bread of depend-
ence is proverbially bitter, and that of
Lady Blake. was of thethitterest. Years
and years ago she had imagined herself
wronged in some bueiness matters by
the dead earl. She had never forgiven
hien; and she found no better subject of
conversation with which to entertain
this unhappy daughter than the constant
abuse of her father's meraory.
Lady Florence endured it for it time,
but she had teuderly loved this poor,
prodigal father, and her heart bled at
every fresh taunb and insnit heaped up-
on him.
"He is dead; they might spare him
now, at least," she cried to herself.
Then the poor child 1 went to Lady
Blake, mid begged her to refrain from
a subject that caused her so much pain,
Her ladyship's anger at what she was
pleased to call such impertinent inter-
ference .was unbounded; she spoke an-
grily at poor Lady Florence, taunting
her with her depeodenee and her pov-
erty.
Then the ebild, for she was little mere,
found herself alone in her sorrow; her
thoughts flew to Lord Lynne, and she
longed in her grief for a kind, sym-
pathizing word from one who had been
it friend; but lie made no sign. She
hoed he was married, and she said to
herseet bitterly that lie in happiness and
prosperity had forgotten her. But to
continue at Lady Blake's was an iinpos-
sibility.
"There is no help for it," said Lady
Florence. "I must do as Other glrls have
done before inc. I must' work for my

Iteeies, highly connected, and of good

But Airs. Cadwell liked the beautiful,
gentle girl, who NNW always amiable and
pleasant witb. her.
Florence, owing to the good nature of
lira. Cadwell, had a little room of her
own. The sisters intruded there some-
times, wider different pretexts; they
were in reality very curious as to the
eontents of [he boxes that the young
girl always kept loeked.
One morning Mrs. Cadwell asked Flor-
enee to go to the bank for her. The
girls did not know she was absent, mid
went to her room for their Italian les-
son. They rapped, but no answer came.
Maria opened the door, Luel entered bold-
ly, saying that Was Wyverne creed: to.

Maria looked and. hesitated. Julia
looked too; then both sisters gazed at
each other. They were half ashamed of
the curiosity which actuated them; the
lace hung directly, over the lock of the
box.
"Whatever thae is," said Maria at
last,'"it, will be quite spoiled. I will re-
place it. It is not often Miss Wyverne
leaves things untidy."
She raised the blue saten; it was the
sleeve of a, richly -trimmed dem. Muni,
forgot all else. In her curiosity she drew
out the remainder, andefound one of the
most elegant evening dresses she hail
ever seen, trimmed with seed-peerls and
point lace. . She held it up before her
astioLnished sister, and they both gazed
for some minutes in unfeigned. admire-
tio-
'Sow benutiftill how exquisite!" cried
Julia. "I never etiev 'anything so ele-
• gant."
"What in the worlds" saki Maria,
"can a. girl in Miss Wyverne's position
want with a dress like this? it must
have cost a fabulous stun."
It bad indeed; it was one of the last
presents which the poor old earlhad
made to his idolized daughter. She had
never worn it, and. did not like to part
with it. .. .
"Where could Miss Wyverne have
found, the money to buy this? I tell you
what, Julia," eontinued Maria, solemn-
ly, "there is something not right about
her; I have always felt sure of it. I
shall warn mamma, inatantly, and, she
must get rid of •her. Come with me now."
The two sisters went immediately to
Mrs. Cadvtell's room. e
"I am sure, mamma, that all is not
as it should be," concluded Maria, after
relating the story of the dress and
its magnificence; "neither you nor I
ever had anythingi
like it n our lives.
Does it stand to nitS011 that a young
person in Miss 'Wyverne's position could
puretheee such a dress?"
"It may have been given to her, my

"Nonsense, mamma!" cried Julia.
"Who in their senses would give a, dress
like that to a compa,niona-it is fitted
for a duchess. Depend upon it, there is
so7.,,ething wrong about her; and you
will repent it it you do not get rid of
he
"Well, if I must, I must," sighed the
mother; "but she le rattily very useful.
But say nothing about it to -day-- we.
are going with the Godevins to the Col-
osseum. Leave it until this evening, and
I will speak to her then."
Setiefied that they ahoold at length
get rid of a rival, the Misses Cadwell
were' restored to eomething like good hu-
mor. They said ver'y little to Florence
when she returned, while she, who had
often been puzzled by their eonduct be-
fore, wondered at the malicious yet
triannehant looks Ntith which they re-
garded her. Piinetuelly at the app?intnd
time they called at the Gothvins , aiul
then proceeded to the Colossetun.
The elderly ladies seated themselves
near otie of the ruined Lathes, overgrown
with grass and shrubs; the younger ones
sat wan them for a time, intending to
sketch afterward. The coriversation, as
usual with the GodWins, turned upon the
tuistocraey thee in Rome. Florence soon
tired of it, and wandered some little
distance to the- entrance of a corridor,

ness of Lady Florence. Mrs. (Indwell
begged that the young lady would call
on the following day; so, in complienee
with her wish, the young girl went early
in the afternome to Hyde Park Square,
Mrs. Cedwell was pjunled and surpris-
ed at Miss Wyverne's behavior. She
manifested, neither surprise nor embar-
rassment when that lady received her in
the grandest manner in a drawing -room
that seemed one blaze of gilt and mir-
rors. She passed Iter examination credit-
ably, flusbiug the while, poor ebild1 at
the etrenge questions asked her. She
could speak French and Italian fluently.
Sire had never filled a similar position;
and she was living at present with a dis-
tant relative. When she said something
about referenees, Mrs. Cadwell
and said that Signor Bacehi'e word was
quite suffielent.
• The interview ended, satisfactorily.
Mrs. Cadwell would start for Italy on
the thirtieth. If Miss Wyverce could
ioin her two days previous to that time,
it would be quite sufifeient.
• "You will not object, Miss Wyverne,"
said the lady, as Florence, rose to take
her leave, "to giving my daughters a lit-
tle instruction in Italian. Unfortunately,
they know' nothing of it, and so I am.
obliged to take a traveling companion."
Lady Florence declared her willingness
to do anything that Mrs. Cadevell de-
sired,
. "I think I have made a bargain there,"
said the astute lady, as the door closed.
upon her visitor. "She will take all the
trouble off our hands—teach the girls,
and be of great use to ime. The only
thing is, that Maria and Julia may think
ber too handsome; but they must be
reasonable. One cannot have every-
thing."
At the appointed time Miss Wyverne
made her appearance. She brought with
her to Hyde Park Squate two well-filled
boxes, for she had dresses in abundance.
The first contretemps that occurred
-
was her ignorance of the exact position
of a cotupanion. The young ladies were
not visible when she arrived, Mrs. Cad-
well received her kindly, and informed
her that the dinner bell would. ring in
half an hour. Although the house was
partially upset, Enid the young ladies
busily engaged in packing, Florence nev-
er dreamed. that they would omit the
ceremony of dressing for dinner; accord-
ingly, she quickly unfastened one of her
boxes, and took out a dinner dress of
black crepe, exquisitely made and trim-
med. A jet brooch with a dia,mond, itt
the centre was her only ornament. The
rich mases of her golden hair were neat-
ly arranged, and Lady Florenee looked
what she was --one of Nature's own gen.
tlewomen.
She noticed the- start of :surprise that
Mrs. Cadwel ltried to conceal when she
entered. the drawing -room. She intro.
duced her daughters, Marie and Julia,
and then offered some kind of Apology
saying they were too busy and upset to
dress for dinner.
Miss Julia locked at the companion's
exquisite toilet with something like dis-
may. The dinnner was good, the table
well appointed, the servants well train-
ed. With sharp, serutinizing eyes, Marla
and Julia watched the newcomer, amia-
bly anicious to -detect the smallest trace
of =itemise honte or ill breeding. But
they ast.W that the beautiful, graceful
girl before them was evidently accus-
tomed to high society. The coning was
long and dull; and in compliance with
Mrs. CadevelPs request, Florence sung
some operatic airs. The girls were both
rather sulky at being eclipsed; they
could neither play nor sing so well as
the companion. It was not eleven o'Clock
when the candles were ordered, and Flor-
ence, wearied and dispivited, rafted to
her room.
"Mamma,' said, the eldest Miss Cad-
well, solemnly, when the door was clotted
and. they were alone, "were you mad
when you. engaged that girl to live witb
use"
'Mad, my dear," said the poor lady;
"no, what ean you mean'?"
"You intend Julia and. myself to
marry well," continued Maria. "You are
taking us abroad, hoping we shall marry
there, awl you engage that girl to go
with us. Do you know what we look
like beside her? What chalice shall we
have near heel'
"I never thought of that," replied Mrs,
Cadwell, nervously; "she speaks Italian
so well."
"Of course she does," retorted the
(laughter, with it sneer; "he sings and
plays so well, too. What man in 1ds
solace will look at us wheel she is byl"
"But, my dear," said the mother,
meekly, "you forget her position. You
are heiresses, remember, while she is
oely a companion,"
"I Shall take good am that she ere
inembere her position," said Maria;

Bugs With X -Ray Eyes.'
A German Went:let has discovered
that many insects, such as moths arid
butterflies, have -X-ray • sight, This
means that the eyes of these insects can
see with something similar to X-rays
objeets invisible to human eyes unless
aided by a fluoroscope. If ordinary
sunlight has enough of the X-rays in it
for the butterflies to see clearly, the
world must be a strange sight to them.
This seientist believes that they can sea
through the clothes and fl-sh of human
beings a,nd behold us walking about in
our skeletons elad in a translucent cov-
ering of flesh.
Sea Water as a Curative.
Sea water as a curative for certain
kinds of disorders of the skin is one of
the late methods of treatment that has
come to this country from Frame. It
is hoped that it may supplant the use
of arsenie as a" remedy for suck dis-
orders. The water is taken at a dis-
tance of forty or fifty miles at sea and
is from a depth of thirty or forty feet
below the surface. These precautions
are taken to insure it supply free from
possible contamination and the water is
further subjected to a process of ster-
ilization. 11 is injected into the tissues
of the patient.

bed-wetting. There is it constitutional
cause for this trouble. Mrs. M. Sum-
