Meantime Florence had, recovered
consciousness ; indeed, she began to
revive almost immediatelyafter the
carriage b.ad started, and the
cool, damp air from the open win-
dow% swept into her lungs.
Sitting up, she looked about her,
witk trembling perplexitY, and,
putting out her hand to tind onlY
her maid beside her, she gave ut-
terance to a long sigh of relief,
then burst into violent weeping.
Anna strove to reassure a.nd quiet
her, but with little encouragement,
tor her sobs did not cease until
she was too exhausted to weep
more. .
The carriage stopped at this mo-
ment, and, as the door was opened,
both girls speedily alighted, eager
to get safely within the shelter el

Without another word, she sped
through the gate, which he opened
for her, and hastened toward tim
house, closely followed by Anna,
both girls experiencing a sense -of
infinite relief as the sound of the
wheels died away in the distance.
They let themselves into the man-
sion very quietly, just as the clock
struck the hour of eleven, and stole
noiselessly up to Florence's room,
where they spent the remainder of
the night together, Florence in-
sisting that she was too nervous
and exhausted to be left alone,
"Oh, Anna, what a, horrible ex-
rereence this 'has been n" murmured
Florence, brokenly.
"'Indeed it has, Miss Florence."

remembrance of the storm. "I've

FOOLED HIS FELLOW STUDENTS,
At Oxford University a certain under -
was adjudged too foud of dress, '
and it was decided to correct this weak-
ness by drorming him bodily into e
fountain. The victim was imized one
night when attired in evening dress and
promptly immersed. To the surprise of
his assailants, be made no resistance,
but seemed thoroughly to enjoy his
bath. "This won't bnprove your clothes,
old man," said the leader. "011, these
aren't nune,' he replied, mildly. "I
heard what was on, so I slipped in
and borrowed your dress things for the
occasion."
