The words fell on poor Doroth,yes ears with great weight. She felt dizzy and feint, and only recovered hereelf by great effort before any one netieed her.

She whispered the words to her eieter, but Innothy heard them. She could scarcely resist the (le- eire to fly at onee from the table, but the earl eat there so calmly beside Iter, she took courage. The eervant brought the couritees' regrets that sits multi eot join them, and the nmal palned in eilellee. save for o few broken sn i1.hes of eon. ereation between the eel. and Pritneee Smith. After he had finielial. hie lunch - ton, the earl Arose from the table and went into the library.

"Meek you," seed Dorothy, +to else eeated herself. "I believe you have been my gust for some days, Mies Wyuter, but I did not knew it.

I will probably take her with me for a For the life of her, the coautese eould not faehion her word, The girl before her held herself with such womanly dignity, the countess was greatly aston- iehed, "I thank you for your kindness to our child, and wish we might be allowed to offer to pay for it." Dorothy' e eyee flashed fire. Her cheeks crimsoned. "I was invited here by. the Earl of Dunraven, to cheer his daughter in her Hitless. Since I have finished my ;Ilia- sion, I thank you for your kind offer of money, but I do not require money for a duty of love." Dorothy turned away as the Countess said, "I trust you will not speak of this to anyone," Without making any reply, Dorothy went out of the room, as Miss Smith entered. "The idea, of that pauper putting' on those alis," said the Countess to her daughter. "She really has the grace of a duch- ess," said Miss Smith, "Well, I've settled that matter nicely. She is too proud to tell anyone that she has been dismissed, so no one will be the wiser." a fine thing It is done, but I fear that it will bring tome harm yet. The Earl would be furious if he only knew it. I do hope and trust that Lord Wed- derburn may never meet that girl, It'e the strangest thing you ever heard, mother, but he was telling.me of his Ideal woman, and if he had her before him, he could not have described her more minutely. It certainly is the strangest thing I ever heard," They did not know that the Earl had heard every word, that he had left the room in a frenzy. He could never ask her to stay now. He knew she was too proud to do that. "My Godl my God!" he cried in agony, "what can I do?" He thought she would listen to him and stay a while longer, then he remember- ed the cruel dismissal, and. he could not ask it. He would have to think what was best to be done. He cried aloud in his sorrow, He walked the floor In de- spair. Later he went to his daughter's room. She had, been asleep. "Father, don't Dorothy stay a great while?" elle asked. "Perhaps she has gone for a walk," he suggested. "I have grown so selfish of late," she said. "Perhaps your Dorothy may have grown Used of so much confinement and gone home for a short time," She look- ed at him In pity, "Dorothrwould never have done that," she said. "Well, -well, we will let Dorothy take a rest for a day or two, poor child. She is nearly ill, herself," he said. A strange thought came to her. "Father, if Dor- othy should get ill, what would I do? I am so glad you have thought of it, but are you quite sure she will come back to me soon? For only e day or two, did you say?" she asked eagerly, and he re- plied with a, smile. He -went into the adjoining room. The smile died on his faee, leaving it pale as death. What would be do? What would be do? He cried and great tears that were wrung from his hart trickled down his furrowed face. He quietly left the room and called for Frances. "It has been necessary for Miss Wyn- ter to leave us for a time, but my daugh- ter will not give her up -what shall I do?" There was a great pleading tone to his voice. She could not have resisted that tone to have saved her life. "I understand," she said quietly. "Well, you go at once to her and if she will not return make some arrangements that the two can be together -Elise will will dia without her Companionship." She had promised to remain with her until her return. He called the car- riage and obeyed at once. He went to B--- street -the landlady showed him the room, "It's glad I am that she has come home to me, the blesse 'child! I do hope, sir ,you have not come for her again?" She chattered all the way up the steps. He found Dorothy. A low fire buried in the grate, but it looked cheerful and bright. The birds twittered in the park and the fresh. green leaven of the trees in the park scented the air. The window was curtained with a pretty muslin eur- tain. Altogether it was the tidiest and most home -like room the Earl had seen for many a day. It somehow retninded himof his mother's room in the old home. He felt the sweet influence at ones, It seemed that his boyhood days had suddenly. come back. He saw the piano and. asked. her to sing, and the sweet notes of the plaintive old song rang clear and silvery into his heart. He made up his mind in a moment. If his daughter might not have Dorothy in Stanley House, Dorothy could take her to her heart in her own humble home. And Dorothy was delighted. They made plans, and everything seemed settled so nicely, and the Earl retureed home with a much lighter heart than he had when he left. He could not banish from his mind the picture of that little room With he pleasant outlook on the green, grassy park, and the music of the song birds outside, and the sweet, freek mt lin eurtaine that fluttered to the breeze, and the sweet -voiced girl that could nutke an Eden of sue)) a, home. He had aolved the problem itt last, thank God! ir eould have sat in that humble room and listened to the voiee of the singer until death called biM. /Ie »Ow saw why his sick child so tenderly- loved Dorothy.

"The idea of aueli a thingl It sap; plainly to the public, 'there le no place in my hops, for my daughter, end my wile le the cause of it.'" :Vass there a place or her, Marcia, either in your home Or heart?" She could not reply. The Earl had fro - eel' toward her uow, She had to little influence over him new to make hire angrys These words he had heard, were indellibly stamped on hie raind, "She must be brought back," she said - 'It is imposeible, Magda. Her only friend could, not remain with her, and It is the desire of her life to be witlk that friend. Was there anything else left for zne to do, Marcie?" She was too angry and excited to arni- Aver. "I could not understand It at the time, hut now I do. One of my friends yesterday asked nse how your daughter Was, I -replied, 'Reasonably well.' The» she adked me how be liked her new quartere, and I replied, 'She ill pleased With her home'; and she had a most peculiar look in %or eyes, I see now, that you have done thie to bring roe into ridicule, and to show that have no power." "You have all the power, Marcia, that you desired when we were married. You have position. and wealth, and you want- ed no more than these." She looked straight into his face and read there some new and cold expees- elon. "Then you will not bring her lomat" "It is impossible; and if you are done, I will ask you to leave me, Marcia, as am quite ill." The Oountes Was greatly astonished. She felt now that elle had lost power. I suppose you will visit her ledgines half the time?" she said, standing in the doorway. "Every hour that it is possible, Mar- cia," answered the Earl; and he kept his word. The plain little room in le - street posseesed a charm for him like heaven itself. He was there morning, noon and eventide. He enjoyed the lit- tle dinners and luncheons, and at in an easy chair and listened to the music of Dorothy's; sweet voice until the hour* flew by. He would net as if loth to leave. Only once did Elise speak of it to her friend; then she said, wear- ily: "Poor dear, old father, he seems so loth to leave us. He is at an age now that society is a weary drag to him. He longs for quiet horae life," Dorothy had known it all long ago, but she would not speak of it. Once, when the Earl came with the physician, and. Dorothy had gone to the shop to bring some medicine, Eleie was left alone with her father. The phyreician had secretly told the Reid that it would not be long until he would have to give up his idolized child. She lay back in her chs.ir, so ill and pale. -Father, would 1 have been a rich girl if 1 had lived?" . "Such a question!" he said, with a smile, "Yes, very rieli, ruy darling. Why?" "And I ca,n do as I like with my own?" "Indeed, you can," he anewered, "Then, father, I want to give it to Dorothy. She is the only friend I ever had. I love her, father, next to you. I wish, father, it were possible for her to take my place when 1 am gone, aud love you and eomfort. you as elle has me. I have no kith or kin, father, and in my heart I love Dorothy next to you. Then let her have whatever is mine, You Will see to it for me, father?" The Earl eat with howe head. IT.e did not give way to his feelingle but his heart was rent. He promised his child. He understood how well she loved Dor- othy, and in a short time the necessary papers were felly made out, and Dorothy Wynter had not the slightest Iden that she wen the possessor of hun- dreds of thousands of pounds. She lied no idea. She had tenderly loved. the Barre sick daughter, and hers was a labor of love. No thought of recom- pense had ever enteredher mind. . "I never was so humiliated and per- plexed as I am now. 1 can not remain in town in any conecience. It will never do for Inc to remain here and have that girl in lodgings, so I shall tele- graph the Weetmorelands that I shall join them at once in Scotland. It may not he Unpleasant after all since Cap- tain Trenton and Major Mire will be there." The Countess was diecussing the met ter with her daughters. She had seen that she had Ina her power over the Earl. She was angry with him. She thought this visit would annoy and pique him, since he had objected strong- ly to it from the first. These army men vitation since they were ineluded aua- sieted that the countese refuse the W- ong the guests. The Countess decided that were gay, dashing and wild. He had in - but Sigtild "1" say nothing, them mediately, so she had been gone several join days before the earl knew of it. When he heard of it, lie understood the mo- tives that actuated her, but he did not care. He visited his daughter every day. He spent hours by her bedside. He watched the life drift away, like a boat that is broken from its moorings, His Elsie had failed so rapidly now that it was now only a question of a few b.ours. Frances Smith acted the part of a friend. When the young life had nearly ebbed out, Frances Smilth sent a telegrent to her mother, "to come at 'eine." She did not Say Elise Dunraven was dying, thinking her mother would. obey the summons, but the mother's vanity egreed that the earl wished her return, and she decided to teeth him a lesson that he would not Semi forget, hence she put the telegram in her pock- et, and took her place once more he the giddy whirl of society. She did not know that the earl's daughter was dead and that he Was prostrated with grief. That as 00011 as she was laid away among her ancestor, the earl could not bear up under his grief. He Was vety old, and the sands of his life tearly nn out, henee could not rally. ITe had in- sisted on having Dorothy Wynter end Frames; eround his bedsside every hour.

The Kalmar Sahib and his attendant, all On foot, followed up the wounded animal to some long grass, from which the leopard charged, making for one of the attendant. To save his follower the lcunwar Sahib, who is conspienouS in a family famous for personal brav- ery, ehouted and drew the leopard on to himself. As the brute charged hirn the KtutWar Sahib fired at him again with his 250. The hollow bullet this time simply burst on the akin without stopping the leo- pard, and the bolt of the rifle lemming, the Kunwan Sahib was left unprotected against the furione animal, which leaped upon him and bit him on the brow and "'heeke' The Sahib never lost his pres- ence of miud, and courageously put both his hands into the animal's mouth and held it jaws open. Then followed a struggle between nein and leopard which resulted in the leopard 'being thrown to the ground, and the Kunwar Sahib, getting hie hurang knife from his attendant, who had come to hie, as- sistance, despatched it. In tlee Wesel, in addition to the bites on the face, the Kunwar Saldb reeeined some bad wounds, in the hand, but medi- cal aseietance was speedily available, and he is progressing satisfactorily. - e CATCHING BEARS IN INDIA. A curious method of capturing wild bears is employed in cera parts Qt Tridia. Four or five sturdy men are armed, two with long spears crossbarred on the handles close to the sharp two edged blade, and two or three with ten foot bamboos, of which the enas are smeared with bird lime. Thus equipped and /taxiing several pow- erful dogs, the hunters sally forth an hour or so before dawn. They pass along the base of the bills with the fresh morning wind blowing up from the plains Id the hunters be lucky it is not efore the fierce dogs wind the bear, losnbelowtbu, and though dogs of this species nunt silently, their straining on the leash in- forms their owners that the game is nigh, The dogs are slipped and disappear In the semndarkness. Soon their roaring and groeling indicate that they have found the game. The hunters run up to the spot where the bear Is fighting witn the doge. The men with the limed poles poke the bear In the rlbs and adroitly twist the ends in its long hair, thus holding it fast on each flank. The spearrnen complete the operation by repeated spear thrusts, It is said that a party of experienced men with good (loge never fail to seeure the bear in this way.
