ed, with a sneer. She despised, the man
beside her, and shot her poisoned shafts
retuorselessly. "Still, you ask too much.
I know nothing of General Trevanion or
the lost will."
Colonel Trevanion wheled round, with -
a word.

. The man's eyes glowed, like coals if
fire. Be meant what he oald, at the mo-
/nent. The devil within him was Wily
roused.
Edith Ingram looked at hint in amaze-
-in no terror, though, whatever -and,
for the first time, perhaps, began to re-
spect him a little. Women will honor
the man who proves himself their mas-
ter.
"Colonel Trevanion, how often must 1
request you not to swear in my pre:
sense? Do you suppose 1, rat instruc-
tress of ,youth and innocence, alias
Gwendoline Chudleigh, can eountenance
zilch immorality? And you are fully
bent on finding the will?"
"I have said so," doggedly..
"And if you find it, with my help, you
are erdy that instant to make me your
wife?"
"This instant, if you wish." e
"'You swear it?"
"Bahas if fang were any security! I
swear it ten thousand times, if you
please. You will help me, then?"
The widow did not immediately re.ply.
The dull, chalky pallor that sometimes
crept overdher face showed ghastly now
under her rouge. She shivered, too, in
the sultry air.
"You will help me?" Cyril Trevanion
repeated, breathlessly. "Edith, my love,
my life, tell Me where to find. this wili
that makes rae the richest commoner in
the county, and you my wife!"
She turned away from him, ghastly
white with soine inward dread.
"Give me until this evening to think,"
she ettel, hoarsely. "-You don't know

almost passionately. "I cannot decide

It is Liberty Hall here, you know; and
I will give you your answer then."
She broke from him ae she spoke;
he had. caught lier hand. She wrenched
it violently away and fled into the
house.
Cyril Trevanion looked after her
blankly.
"She does know, then," he said. "Good
Heavens! she can't have murdered the
old man, after an."
A moment after, as he mounted ()ear,
he could have laughed at his own ab-
surd supposition.
"She wouldn't do it," he said. She
has the pluck; but there was no motive
that I can see. And how egtild .she
murder liini, and what could she do
with the body? And yet -she knows, It

Miss Teevanion's first act, upon find-
ing berself alone, was to go up to her
bedroom and indulge in that purely
feminine luxury, a splendid cry.' She
was a heroine, no doubt, and had behav-
ed as such, her drums beating and colors
flying in the heart of the battle; but
when the battle was over and the field
her own, she buried her fair face in

his elbow and stnring at hie sister.
"What the deuee have you, been doiug
to Colonel Trevanion,"
"I? Don't be ridiculous, ceharley!
Nothing, of course,"
'I'm not ridiculous, and you have been
doing something. Don't fall into the

in his face, and tells me the 'eunnel guv

"Then he has gone," Sybil ejaculated,
very pale, "and for good!"
"For no good, I ohould say, judging
by hi $ look. Did you give him his die -
/illegal out walking-, Sybil, or has the
widow done it, or what? By Jove! if
the mystery of the old. general's dis-

never ellen He could shoot me
this monaent, I dare say, with the great-
est pleasure. Don't say anything to

fidgets so, and asks eo many questions."
Charley was correct about the col-
onel. He had pickedhimself up out of
the fern and underbrush, little the
worse for his fall, when Macgregor and

Jeanne d'Arc and Mlle. Corday and
Mrs. Caudle were strong-minded ladies,
too, about whose courage there is no
doubt; and yet, perhaps after the en-
emy was routed, and the Friend of
the People dead in his bath, and, Mr.
Caudle snubbed until death would have
been a relief, these heroic females may
have relieved their womanly hearts by
the strongest sort of hysterics. History
is silent; but women will be women, and
it is not at all unlikely.
The heiress of Trevanion was not the
least in the world strong-minded; but
she had the pride of three or four cen-
turies of proud men and women In her
veins. They had been terrible warriors in
their day, these Trevanions-had' storm.

moF-e admira,bleewordsrnen, the- neatest
hands with the rapier you could find in
three kingdoms; and the fiery blood
never cooled down enough to create one
politician, one prelate, or one statesman.
And this empetuous, impassioned, .fiery
current ran in the veins of one tall,
and returued to the scene of the dis-
aster, to lie in wait, for the return of
hie conqueror. 13ut he could. not fire;
his desperate resolve failed; the wea-
pon fell useless in his grasp, and Mr.
Angus Maogn egor walked unharmed into
the eeeurity of the Retreat.
The Crimean hero emerged. from the
hiding plane, remounted the Czar, and
rode over to Chudleigh Chase. It want-

meal by a gentle saunter up and down
the terrace. Brightly beautiful she look-
ed. in the sparkling sunlight, her fresh
pink robe fluttering in the faint sea
breeze, her silky black hair hanging half
loose and uncurled with the heat, her
ribbons and. lace fluttering ,a cluster
of roses in her bosom, and the long,
velvet eyes more dewy and lustrous
thau ever. The pretty lace was just
a trifle weary, too; she had been fas-
cinating the baronet all morning, and
it is somewhat fatiguing to play the
role of Prince Charming for three hours
at a stretch. She turned to the colonel
and held out her taper fingers.

"Yes, I ehould. think so; it would re-
quire some courage to accept so grim

face, of eourse. But is there no appeal
from her decision?"
"None," he said, moodily. "You should'

inc of Lola Montez facing the Bavarian
students -her fiery eloquence. It Was
the deadliest of insults -she would never
forgive me to her dying day. My ten-
der declaration ended in a rather stormy
scene."
Colonel Trevanion did not chooee to
never orgive him -never to my dyine
dity!"
And then, like a sunburst through
a thunder -cloud, came the memory of
another face, of another form - brave,
kingly., grand! And Sybil, the hero -wor-
shiper, the adorer of manly strength
and physical courage, tingled all over
ne she remembered with what enchant-
ing ettee this naagnificent Macgregor
had lifted her six-foot cousin and hurl-
ed him, crashing, among the ferns, like
an overgrown wax doll. And even on
the instant his face, as it had looked
when turned to her -gentle, courteous,
kind as a woman's -rose up, and Sybil
covered her own face, hot with virginal
blushes now, in both hands, and. knew
that elle loved this stalwart conqueror
with her whole heart.
"'A gentleman by courtesy and the
grace of God."' Sybil thought of 00
old words. "Brave As a lion, strong as

WHY MILK TURNS SOUR.
Perhaps you have often wondered why
it is that if you let milk stand, for a
short time, especially in warm weather,
It will turn sour and become unfit to use
in your tee, or coffee, but if it is boiled
and then sealed up in some sort of air-
tight can or jet* it will keep for any
length of time, .in any weather.
Many persons believe that a thunder-
storm will tuns milk sour, and if you
ask them what the thunder, which is
nothing but noise, can do to tho inlik
you will -find they have no 'dee, but
they just know it is so. So there!
The reason that milk turns sour is
that it contains a small microbe that
makes an acid from sugar in the milk.
'When the milk is boiled these microbes
are killed and the acia is never devel-
oped. Warns air, and eventelectricity in
the air,,isvery favorable to the rapid
growth of these microbes, which are
really a sort of plant, and all plants
flourieli in warmth.
The acid which is made by these mi-
crobes in the milk is called lactic field,
and. if the milk is good and clean it is
none the worse for turning sour, al-
though it is not just the thing to puteen
tea. For some persons sour milk is men
more wholesome drink than sweet milk
and is recommended by snme doctors for
the cure of certain dises.ses. There is
a famous Chinese statesman who be-
lieves he will live to be 130 because he
drinks so much sour milk every day.

Electric Control of Torpedoes.
A German inventor recently gave a
thoroughly suceessful demonstration
of th.e effectiveness of an electric sys-

the craft seemed to be under the ab-

also shown that it was proof against
interference from electric waves gen,

and back, turned right and left, de-

points, rang bells, exhibited flags and

effective control. The mechanism is,
however, far from perfect; the sped

prove it as another escape from the yel-
