—but he did not. He talked a great

one asked for the old-fashioned glee,

and Lady Chevenix remembered that

the tenor part—he had a glorious
tenor voice, rich, clear and ringing.
She turned to. hint with a charming
smile.
"The music is with some old books
of mine in the canterbury—welt you
help me to find it ?" So, while the
room was filed with laughter olid
song, Lady Chevenix and Felix bent
over the old music -books to look
for the glee. She turned her head,
and said, in a low voice:
"I want to speak to you. Felix—
will you listen to me for a few min-
utes V
"If you wish it," he replied, coldly.
"I do wish It. I want to know it
all our lives we are to be like this."
"Like what, Lady Chevenix 2" he
asked.
"You know what I mean—if our
lives are to be so entirely apart, if
you will always be cold and distant
and proud to me—!f you will always
avold me and iguore my presence."
Ile looked at her in mute wonder.
"Must I remind you of one thing,
Lady Chevenix ?" he asked. ,
"What is that 2" she said.
" That it was your hand that

not be friends? Could you not come
to see us sometimes—talk to me,
tare our amusements, and be really
a friend—could you not do this,
Felix ?"
'No,' be said, "I could not''
" Why ?" asked. the • sweet, soft
voice.
"Because I happen to. be a man,
rot a statue—.because I have a
human heart, and am not made of
marble. Our lives lie apart, Lady
Chevenix."
" You might be kinder," she said ;
and the beautiful woman shrunk from
him as though he bad struck her a
blow.
• No," he rejoined, "It would not
be possible. As the wife of another
man, you are nothing to me; to
anter into a compact of friendship
with you would be to endanger what
I hope to keep stainless until I die
—my honor before men and Heaven.
Our lives lie apart, and nothing can

" Can I help you, Violet ?" said a
voice near them ; and, looking up,
Lady Chevenix maw the anxious face
of her mother.
Mrs. Haye bent over the music -
books.
"I wiil assist my daughter, Mr.
Lonsdale;" she said, coldly.
Felix bowed and left them.
"My dear iVolet." said Mrs. Hoye,
"how can you be so imprudent ? Why
do you talk to hien ? You will cause
remarks that will not please rue'
"Mamma," replied Violet, raising
her white fa,ce, "be says that he will
not even be friends with me."
"So much the butter. my dear. Lady

"Nonsense, child. See, Lady Maude

So with lusp:ring words sho brought
the smiles back to the sweet face;
but in her heart she resolved that
Lady ('lievenix should see but little

there, and she kept her resolve.

They asked themselves, those who'
loved ]rim beet, if 11e had forgotten
his unhappy love affair. It was im-
possible to say; those who watched
him most kindly and most keenly—
Eve and Kate—could not tell. They
could see that he devoted himself to

If any one spoke of her in 1)18 Pres-

sary ; but there was nothing reveal-
ed in his manner. Kate said to her-
self proudly that he had forgotten
her, that hie heart was too noble
to keep alive the memory of a w0 -
man so False. Eve knew him bet-
ter. There were times when even
a gallop over the areezy uplands did
not set him straight, then he would
go over to Outlands.
"I have Come to chat with you,

fallen one look at itis face, at the
shadowed eyes, would tell her that
he was doing fiorce battle with
his foe. She would go Into the
pretty old-fashioned sitting -room,'
and making bleu sit in a comfort-
able arm -chair, would talk to nim.
To herself she said often that it
was like the laying of an evil

converse with flim, give him all the
news site could. She knew, and lie
knew, why he was there, what cell-
ed him, ftvJlat old sorrow was cry-
ing aloud, ;what vail wild passion,
what vain deep regret, was in his
heart; but it w,as not discussed.
She knew when her wise, sweet,
tender words took effect; the sha-
dow would fall from his face, and
lie would listen in silence. At times
he would sit for an hour lietening,
never speaking, and then; rising
with a brightened look that did her
heart good, lie would clasp her
hand warmly in his own.
"Thank you, EvRe," be would say
to her; "I kno'ty, best what you
have done for meq'
Miss Lester was not very well
pleased just then with' her
niece. She had received two
good offers of marriage, and
had refused them both; and, though
Miss Lester disliked men, she had al-
ways a keen eye to the main chance,/
and mid that if Eve refused ono she
ought to have taken the other.
She confided her grievance to Felix.;
''I wish," she said, "that you would
talk to her ; you have known her so,
long—you are an olcl friend. Talk
to her. Felix; tell her how fooifch
it is to refuse every good offer." ,
'But I thought you disapproved of;

men ?"
#(80 I do—so T do; but I shall r,ot
live forever, and Eve must haev some
one to take care of her. )quire Meth-
way would have inade her a good
husband. Talk to her, Felix."
"I .really do not like to speak to
Eve on such a matter," said Felix;
"she might not like it. She must
have ]tad ber own reasons for say-
ing ' No' "
"Reasons!" quoth Miss Lester.
"She hasn't any. She is waiting un-
til the man in the moon proposes to
marry her, and I hope it will be
soon."
Felix went away laughing, hut lie
thought of Evelyn that evening more
than ever lie had thought. He won-
derecl•why she would not marry; and
then he said to himself that after
all he was not sorry. His friendship
for her
was the most pleasant part
of his lite, and he could hardly Im-

there was times when he saw on her

Yet it never once oeeurred to him

Lady, Chievenb,; was standing in her
superb drawipg room alone ; she
held a folded papor in her hand which
she was reading attentively ; then
she meditated for a few minutes, and
afterward rung the bell. To the ser-
vant who answered it she said:
"Will you ask Mrs. Hoye if she
can come to me ;! I wish particular-
ly to speak to iter."
Mrs. Hoye was spending a few
days at (arswood---that was what
the world was told ; in reality sho
was there because Lady Chevenix
feared for Iter life. Sir Owen had been
drinking heavily, and he had grown
dangerous, as she believed. She had
lost all control over Nina, and the
terrified servants told each other of
sobs and cries that sounded at night
when all the house was still. She
grew alarmed at last, and sunt for

And it was arranged that she
should do so.
Lady Chovenix stood waiting for
her now. As she stood there, so tall
and stately,, with such Ineffable

she did not look like one who bad

The truth is, of course, that we have

more laws, but the enforcement of those
that we already "lave. Every law that
is not enforced -constitutes a peril to
the entire legal fabric, anis it is notor-
ious, unfortunately, that fewer laws are
enforced titan are unenforced, The
ratio of punishments to offences com-

This inevitably breeds contempt for
law and constituted authority, pot only
upon the part of the criminal class, but

The Russian Rooster.
(Toronto World.)
In vain do the nations meet and en-
deavor to ulinintize the horrors of war
and protect non-combatants. "A Japan-
ese 12 -inch shell exploded in the yard
of General Stoessel's house, outside
Port Arthur. It broke a rooster's leg."
The rooster probably knew little of
the merits of the conflict, and it is not
even stated that it wis crowing
over any Russian victory. Wandering
harmlessly round the general's house,
and • rejoicing in the approach of
spring and the reappearance of the
succulent worn, it observed the ap-
proach of a shell, which it not impro-
bably, mistook for an eggshell. , Taps
without a moment's warning it was
struck down and crippled for life, its
beauty destroyed, its lordly strut gond
forever. Henceforth it must limp
through the fields of its ancient pride,
condemned to listen to the remark,
made with tedious iteration, that it
was the victim of a fowl outrage. Its
only consolation will be the reflection
that it takes . a twelve -inch Japanese
shell to break a Russian rooster's leg.

the heaviest life insurance, Mrs. Leland

favor of Airs. Stanford, for site is .note,
rated as insured for "over" a million,
whereas DIrs. Ifirlsmuir is put down ab
an even $1,000,000. There is no ques-
tion they are the most heavily insured
women on the American continent and
far ahead of any of their sisters in the
