out of the hut into the fresh mama%

From where the hut stood they could
see far away across the mountains and
down into 4 lumber of little valleys. The
mountains were outlined clear and sharp
in the morniog eir, but the valleys were
all wrapped in fog, which haa notyet be-

Aubrey led him wade, and answered ia
a few words, explaining briefly that he

forced to amain all aight itt the little
deserted hut on the mountain."
The ola mau was not difficult to con-
vince, indeed, he ready fell in with the
idea, and made objection only on the
score of witnessee.
"Your family," suggested Aubrey.
"I have none."
"The first strangers that come along."
"Few come along at this hour of the

"It was a risk of their own making,"
he answered, in a low 'tone.
She turned her head aside and a
strange smile passed. over her fair face,
But when she looked. at him again there
was on Ler face the wondering look of a
ebild who is thinking of startling things,

The road was so washed and. torn that
it had nothing of the semblance of a
road at all, but the fact that it was the
only pratiticable way over the mountain.
It was More like the bed of a mou.ntain
brook.
Luele took Aubreyte ann, and he no-
ticed with a thrill of pleasure that the
had a sraall white hand, that would have
done credit to the proudest blood. He
was beginning, in fact, to find many
charming features in his fiancee.
Be looked down at her from his stal-
wart height,/and saw that she was of a
round and supple figure. And when she
leaped, with his help, across a muddy
spot, it was not unpleasant to see that
her foot was small and slender,
Once, on a level bit of the road, there
was so much mua that the only way to
get her across dry -shod was to carry
her over, and his breath came and went
more quickly when he hela her rounded
form close to hint, and felt the beating of
her heart.
She grew more talkative, too, as they
went on, and he felt that it Was because
of leer growing confidence in him. Sev-
eral times he caught her great brown
eyes fastened eagerly on his face, as if
trying to surprise the nature of the man
who had been so noble in ,his treatment of
her, but of whom she hod heardsucTi
dreadful things.
It grew to be it very delightful occu-
pation to him to tuark various expres-
sions of interest, pleasure and mirth
light up her beautiful face. And what a
very lovely face it was; by the way!
Why had he not noticed before how ex-
eeedingly beautiful she was? He would
not need to blush for his countess when
he took .her to Aubrey Castle,
"You were afraid.. of me last night,"
he said, once, just to see the play of ex-
pression on her face.
Her eyes sought his face very slowly,
and dwelt there with a look that said
it not to fear him.
"I did not know you, then," she shyly
said.
"But you. don't know much more of
me now," he sold
"I know that I was wrong, then," she
answered, simply. "I hope," she went on,
in a low voice, which she knew how to
make peculiarly sweet, "that you will
not regret what you are doing for me."
"I do not think I shall," he answered,
beginning to believe that he had been ra-
ther fortunate than otherwise. "If I had
not asked you to marry me, I migat
never have married. I never thought of
doing eo before."

"Some will surely came," seid Anaray,
impatiently.
"Open the ohapel, and have everything
in readiness." •
The old clergyman, stimulated perhaps
by a timely lin& of gold In Aubrey's
pocket, bestirred himself and got every-
thing in readiness. That done, he came
out to the front, where Aabrey and Lu-
cia waited, and looked up and down the
road, murmuring;
"finless Providence aid you, I deal
see where your witnesses will come
from."
"How many are needed?" demanded
Aubrey.'
"Two, my lord."
Every foreigner with money was ron-
sidered a nobleman in the Tyrol.
"Then Providence has been kind, for
here come two over the very road we
just traversed."
The old man shaded hie eyes, and look-
up the hill.
"Truly you are right," he said. "Well,
if Providence is on your side, it would
be churlish indeed for any one to say
a word of hindrance."
The three stood in the porch of the
chapel., waiting for the travelers to eome
un, to them. Both .Aubrey and Lucie eyi
them curiously until they were near en-
ough to be recognized as natives, wben
Aubrey betrayed his thoughts by saying
to Lucie: •
"It is no one we know."
"Two'men of the other side," said the
old clergyman. "I wonder to see them
out at this hour!'
The men came steadily on, talking
earnestly together, but not yet having
seen the party on the poroh. Nor did
they notice them until they were bail-
ed by the old clergyman,
"Just in time %teal!" he called out.
"There is a wedding on this morning
and if you will stop and witness it I
have no doubt the happy groom will
make your hearts lighter and your pock-
ets heavier."
The men looked toward. the chapel,
and stared. But they listened to all the
old roan said, and then spoke together.
One seemed to be urging the other, till
one called out.
"Of course we will witness the wedding
and are glad. to happen along in the
nick of time!"
"I wonder," murmured. Aubrey to Lu-
cie, "why they eye us in sueli a fashion."
"They may have heard of us," Aug -
Rested Lucie, in a sly whisper.
"Of course that is it, Well, if they
have heard of us, they will know how
to tell the rest of the tale. Happily it
is ending as all good stories should—
with a wedding. Is it not so, Lucie?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Call me Rupert," he gaily sitid.
"Yes, Rupert," she replied.
They followed the clergyman, and
were, in turn, followed by the two oppor-
tune witnesses; and, ere many minutes
were gone, Rupert Cecil and Lucie Senac
were pronounced nian and wife.
Aubrey turned to the beautiful girl,
and took her in his arms, and greased a
kiss upon her lips. Then he stood with
her arm looked in his, waiting while the
slow old man entered the marriage on
the register, and then made out a cer-
tificate to give them. The two witnesses
stood mutely watching the newly mar-
ried pair with a singular expression on
their faces.
"Here is the certificate, my lord," said
the old man, at last.
Rupert glanced over it, folded it, and
put it in his pocket. Then he drew a
handful a com from his pocket, and
gave a liberal donee= to the clergyman
and to each of the witneeses.
"Now, Lady Audrey," he said to Lucie,
"we will go on our way, but where that
way lies I have not yet decided. Have
you any suggestion t"
"My lord," said one of the witnesses
awkwardly, at this point, "are you he
who left a horse and. hire& another at
the inn on the other side?"
"I have no doubt I am he; for I dia
the very things you speak of," replied
Aubrey, good-naturedly.
"And perhaps the lady is one of the
party that, earlier in the evening, hired
a vehicle to cross the mountain, and was
lost."
"Aga% you are right," replied Aubrey,
wondering what the men were corning to.
"Then I have sad news for you."
Lucie started and clung A little closer
to Aubrey, but she lipid her head so that
he could not gee her face.
"Sad newel" repeated Aubrey, "Speak,
then, and let us hear."
She did not say anything in answer,
but he was satisfied with the look that
flashed into her eyes.
It took them some time to reach the
little chapel spoken of, and, under other
circumstances, Aubrey might have been
greatly bored; but this morning, despite
the night he lied passed, he enjoyed his
walk.
"That must be the ehapella he said, at
last, pointing down the road to where a
little Gothic chapel stood on a slight
plateao.

aen nearness of the chapel startled her.
He looked clown at her with a very
genuine tenderness in Ids eyes, and
checked her progresa by it restraining
touch of Itis hand that made her look
up at him.

Another cause of Icive.er cost in build-

to contain it lesson for organized labor.
Laoor in the building trades is said to
he much more efficient than it was dur-
ing the "boom" period, and consequent-
ly it is cheaper even whero there is no
reduction of wages. After a period of
reduced employment the most eapable
of them -en are now hired, and they feel
the need of doing their best to keep
their places. Accordingly, their work
is worth niote and the result of it costa
less, and thereby they aro helping the
cause of industrial and business recov-

ing al/ they could get in a busy time,
causing loss by strikes when their de-

Danger In Eye Poultices.
Do not poultice an eye in any eiremn.
stances whatever. Binding a wet appli-
cation .over an eye for several hours
must damage that eye, the assertions of
those professing to have personal ex-
perience in thie to the eontrary not-
withstanding. The failure to aggravate
ati exieting trouble by binding a moist
application over an inflamed' eye, whieh
application ie *opposed to remain for an
entire night, can only be explained by
the supposition that a guardian angel
has watched over that rnissided ease
and has displaced the poultice before it
had got in its fine work.
All oeuliets condemn the poultice abso
lutely, in every shape and, m every form.
Tea leaves, bread and milk, raw oysters,
scraped beef, scraped raw turnip or raw
potato, and the medley of other similar
remedies popularly recommended, are,
one and all, capable of producing irre-
mediable damage to the integrity of the
tissues of the visual organ.—From the
Family Doctor.

II°W'('TToOronKtNo OGN1ObTe.I)1111.
State Senator Ettleson, of Illinois, has
introduced a bill to confer tt- title on
bachelors whereby they can readily be
distinguished from married men. A
spinster is distinguished froni a marriea
woman, the prefix Miss proclaims her
happy condition. But whe na man is in-
trodueed to her the Mister is no clue
to his marital or nonmis.rital state. The
Senator's interest in the matter has
been aroused by complaints of ladies
who declare that married men under
cover of their %distinguishing prefix
pose as single men..
She gave Itim the desired addrets, and
he went away well satisfied with himself
for the manner in which he had con-
ducted the delicate affair. She watched
him quietly mail he had closed the door
after him. Then the look of an angry
tigress distorted her face, and she hissed
through her closed teeth::
"Only lie statute between Inc and the
perfect enjoyment of what I have earned,
and what fate has almost given me. Ahl

Lora Aubley was impatient to be
away from the scene of death, Perhaps
he was also impatient to see more of
his bride in a happier mood, and away
frone everything that suggested the
Last° of the -wedding and the eircum-
iitances leading to it, Perhaps, too, he
felt rather than noticed' a covert sneer
in the manner of Sir Charles, and it was
unpleasant to him.
That night Sir Charles dined with
them,and they bade hint adieit, with
the understanding that they would be
gone before he was awake irt the morn-
ing. He shook hands with them when
they parted for the night, and itt doing
so gave a Alight pressure to the little
hand of the countess. Something like a
flame darted from her dark eyes as lie
did AO, but he only smiled.
"a Would get up in the morning ear-
ly," he saia to Aubrey -' abut the fact
is, ant a little under the weather. I
suppose T have felt that affair more than
