The dinner -bell so'uncled while Oa still stood there, while and eold, Ao altered, so haggard, so old, so worn, that Sir Rupert Chudleigh would not have believed his own eyes had' he seen her. But at the sound of that loud cleaning in the lofty- turrets, she turn- cJ away and went up to her room. She was a first-elase actress in the great drama of lifeand it was her turn to go on and smile, and look happy and beautiful, and play the dreary play out. The many clustering lights were light- ed in drawing and diningeroora when the eleeant widow swept in, the dark eyes brilliantly sparkling, the delicate rose -tint bright on cheat; and lip, the soft, subtle smile at its inost witching. The brilliant green. of her dress set off that rich, brilliant complexion. and the curiotegly plaited coronet of ivy lay like some chaplet on the abundant black tresses. • There were strangers in the long drawing -room when. Mrs. Ingram swept in; but strangers at St. Rupert's hos- pitable board were nothiug to marvel at. And two of the guests were not strangers, either to the widow. Cyril Trevanion, turning over a 'vol- ume of agravings, all by himself, and feverishly watching the door by evdich she must enter, and Charles Lemox, leaning on the beck of etwend.oline's chair, and talking in his usual slow, hey voiee.

"Perhaps 1 have a theory for that, • foo, and ma,y let you bear it at some future day.

But all the baronet's efforts to force" the conversation were in vain. Cyril Trevanion sat like a statue of stone at the feast. Hepeeled his walnuts and dipped them in his sherry, and glowered vindictively every now and then at his opponent across the way. But Mr. Mac- gregor took little notice of those blank looks, He and his bast had got Into some animated 'argot:tient, which turned until they joined the ladies.

The baronet and the author sat down to a gime of etude, and Charley,who had, like the wido iw' herself, an nnate talent for flirting, made languid love to Geraldine, curled up on an ottoman a,t her elbow. "Who is that man," Cyril Trevanion asked, in a hoarse, breathless sort of way, "who kuows you, Mrs. Ingram, and who knows me?' "Colonel Trevanion!" the widow cried, inexpreesibly startled, "how dare you? What do you raean?" Colonel Trevanion laughed—a harsh, mirthless laugh—and that wild light was in his fierce black eyes again. "Let us take off our masks for a little, my dear raadaine, and look each other in the face.

Think twice before you make an enemy of Cyril Trevanioni" He ewung around abruptly as he sp.oke, and came near her no more for the rest of the evening. It Was late when the baronet ancl his antagonist rose from their game of cards and. *Mrs. Iligram was floating out of the drawing -room as they made their adieus. She stood .for an instant on the marble stairs, her silk robe and her emeralds gleaming greenly against the white statues, and looked defiantly into the face of Angus Macgregor. It was like the challenge 0-1 a big, powerful Newfoundland and a vicioue little Ring Charles as their eyes met, or like the grave defiance of two duelists of the Legioa d'Honneur, as they used to doff their plumed hats and cry, 'Guard yoUrselfl" before beginning the duel to the death. "We will meet again," the endow said. with her most insolent emile, "and you will show inc the pieture of that wicked dead person I resemble so much. Until then—good-night!" CHAPTER XV. Colonel Trevanion rode homeward through the black, rainy August night, on his huge black horse Czar, after bid- ding the -widow the briefest and coldest of farewells. As he eadd good -night to Macgregor the eyes of the two men met—on in- solent smile of power in the, tenant's, a glare of bitter hate in the landlord's. A child could have seen it was "war to the death" between those two. • Charley Tfemox tooled the author home in his drag, and for the first two or three miles the hermit of. the Retreat puffed away with vicious en- ergy at his Manilla, staring silently into the wet blackness, "Well," Charley said at last, "you might make an observation, 1 think, if only on the weather. Speech is silver and. silence is golden, very likely.sbut still, when an ttuditor is by, capable of appreciating the profoundest remark you can utter, you might break through the golden rule for once. There is the widow—suppose we diecuss her. She's a safe subject; for, egad! she's been pretty thoroughly dissected before this at half the dinner -tables in the county. Isn't she .chic? Isn't she charming? Isn't •she brilliant?. You toticed her eyes, I suppose? Did you ever see their equal in all the slave -markets of 'Stamboul, in the head of Georgian or arcessian?

A. farm in Wellington County, On- tatio, Was sold the other day for thirty thoasand dollars, The purchaser bought with the farm the farm's name. The name W4S upon the gate post at the en- trance to the driveway leading to the farmhouse. It was e. name that stood. for something. It etood, in fact, fel' it fine farm. By this name the farm was known the oountryeide over, Senator Burd, of New York State, has introduced a farm -naming hill into his Legislature. At first thought it would seem that the bill was framed in seuti. xnentalism. The real object is material- istic:. As the senator himeelf says, it should turn sentimentalism to prafetieal aecount. The material side appears in the stimulation given to the owner to improve his farm with all that lin. provement means to hitueelf, to his fitrintl,totlaeeontunity and to the coml. ttlazgc. Now, the Wellington County farm not o»ly had a name, but lived up to it. It Wit s famous as a farm of superior ex- eelence. Its owner took pride in keep- ing the farm up to a higli degree of cul- tivation. He bad to, or else the name on the gatepost would. lase its sense of pride, and instead beeome an object of derision, Senator Third believes with the owner of title Puelinch farm that there J e much in a name, and conaequently he proposes that any owner of a farm may register a name for it with the county clerk of hie county; from whom he will receive a certificate. The name will be as permanent as the farm tend may be traneferrecl with the land by deed. The idea of a pleasantly named homestead is certainto find favor, the senator believes, with ahnost any in- telligent farmer and hie farm. The name win be it standing incentive to keeping the premises in fine order. As the sen- ator says, the proprietor of Myrtle Lawn FLUID or Hyacinthe Manor will hardly let Canada thistles overrun it.

The Nationalist Association of Audobon Societies has started a campaign to pre- vent the extermination or great reduc- tion through wholesale slaughter of the robins. The robin is one of the favorite birds at the North, and it may be news te many people here that this pretty, friendly bird is in any danger, as only a very ignorant or vicioust brute wouhl kill a Northern rebin. But the robins, exeept it very few hardy individuals, snend their winters in the South.
