''It was all too short. What a wonderful voice you have! Do you know what they are saying?" and her eyes gleamed with amused curiosity. "What?" he says, looking half over Ills shoulder at the little group whis- pering with their beads together. "They are saying that you are an opera -singer. Is it true?" He thinks for a moment.

Ho stated that Britain's desire of peace and happiness steals over to destroy her was destined to fail her. In her ears still rings the song "before our aell to live." Of course, of the Spanish lover; beside her etands the man who has shown her so mime sympathy. It is a strange feel- ing that pervades her whole being; a feeling of half -fearful, half -painful de- light, that she cannot define, and clings to almost desperately, lest it should fade and vanish if she were to ask the reason for its presence. The soft summer night is a night for love; love's breath mingles in the warm, balmy breeze and floats up- ward from the lips of, the sea; but Signa does not think of love; she is too happy with this vague happiness to think or to analyze. And the man beside her? He stands leaning against the back of a chair,. which he has tilted to the upper angle, and his eyes are fixed, too, but not on the sea. They rest on a fairer picture even than that which lies below them—on a young girl's beautiful lace, on a young girl's lithe, graceful figure. Never in all las life—and what a life it has been— has he who calls himself Hector War- ren been enoved by woman's loveliness as he has been moved by Signees. It has etruck home to him, when he had concluded that he had no heart to be struck at.

And yet he stands with a sad, al- most a tragic shadow on his handsome face.

Ars they. re-enter the room Lady Reek - well was saying something in the epigrammatic way which seemed to afford her listeners—and they were all gathered round her—eujoyable sliocks of borror Or amazement. "Oh, dear Lady Rookwell, it caneot be true?" Signe. hears Mrs. Plumbe neurinur, incredulouely. "But I tell you it is; it 'a all the talk of the town. Sir Frederic heard it at his club, didn't you? and my nephew heard it at the Rag and Famish. Oh, there is nothing too bad for him—nothing. He is worse thar ever now. If it wasn't for his never -failing good luck he would have eost every penny he has -got, but he wins instead of loses; he is lucky in everything. This young girl; She was going to be raarried—indeed, I believe it was the day before the mar- riage—and he met her, met her com- ing home from naarket, very likely had gone to get her wedding things! I don't know anything about foreign ways, and I don't want to. At any rate, he met her, got into conversa- tion with her, and the result was that the bridegroom waited at the &tura the next morning in vain." "And—and he really pensuaded the girl- to go away with him?" asked Mrs. Plumbe. "Yes, She was very beautiful, it seems; one of the better class of peas- ants; quite the belle of the village. Yes, he ran away with her, took her away, as I say, the night before the wedding day." "Really dreadful!" murmurs the rector. "I trust it may not be true!" "True! It's as true as the sun," says her ladyship, with a grin that denotes there is still more to come. "But I' haven't told you the end of it. Of course, the bridegroom the old lover, you know --wasn't going to sit down calmly and bear such an insult and wrong. I euppose we only bear these things quietly in England; we go to a court of law—if we can; if we can't, we sit down and put up with it. But there is still some pluck ixt foreigners; this man follow- ed the gay Lothario and overtook him and the false-hearted girl—" "Yes," says Mrs. reumbe, eagerly. "Overtook them on the road, and they fought there and then, with the girl looking on, and two farm laborers as seconds " "Bless my soul!" murmurs the rec- tor. "And the result? Dear mei This is vere, dreadful. Were either of them hurt?" "One of them was killed," says Lady Rookwell, with intense enjoy- ment in the excitement on) her audi- ence. "Which," Says the rector, eagerlY. Lady Rookwell looks up, and her eyes takes in the two tall figures standing almost irt the centre of the group, for Signa and Hector Warren have pawed to listen; Signe with a look of deep, pitying interest, he with a calm, impassive look on his face. "Which?" she echoes. "Why, of couree, the wrong man. It eiways Is. Lord Delaniere shot the poor fellow through the heart." A murmur of horror rises from the group, and Lady Rookwell sums up dramatically. "Yes, robbed the poor fellow of his bride and then took his life. That is Lord Delaraere!" There is silence for a moment, and then Signe turns to make some com- ment ou the awful story to her com- panion, and is surprised to see his Pale face frowning; and as she looks he fixes his eyes upon the wrinkled face of the old woman and seems about to speak; but suddenly the frown chartgea to a smile, half ead, half scornful, and he turns to her with a laugh. "I -will sing you that song, now Lady Rookwell has finished her story," he says. Andthat is all. Not a word in de- fence of his absent friend. CHAPTER VIII. Thd evening is over, the guests have gone, and Signe stands before her looking -glass, with a face faintly flushed, and with a Curious, dreamy look of happiness in, her dark -gray eyes. For she feels that the evening has been a triumph for her, and that a change has corne Over the spirit of her dream, and that the tide of her lite has changed. When she had oilier good -night to Aunt Podswell, that Who had not thought her niece good enough to sit down at the table with Lady Rookwell and Sir Frederic Blyte, had actually impressed an icy kiss on the sweet, white forehead, and the rector had held her hand and pat- ted it with a nervous, embarrassed playfulness which spoke volumes. -The worthy couple felt rather 'ashamed of themseivei3, but they would not have done so it Simla had not made sUch' a sensation .

When she conies down in the morn - Ing a little pale, perhaps, but woad - rowdy beautiful in her pallor, her aunt greets her with a Miff smile, and the rector rtses and puts a chair foe her at the breakfast-table—a courtesy he has omitted until now—alid Signe feels that indeed things have changed. ' "Well, my dear," he says, with his head on one side, and an affable smile "and bow do YOu feel this morning— not knocked up, I hope, eh?" "Not at all," says Signe; "I enjoy-. ed my.self very much indeed, and etl- joyment never knocks inc up." "I am glad of that, very glad," says the reotor, rubbing his chin, "Ahem! Yes, it was a pleasant evening, thanks to you anti-:et:iv—our friend, air, War- ren." Signs feels the blood mounting to her face at the eudden mention of his name, but ehe bends over the coffee - cups and conceals the uncalled-for blush. "A—er—most accompliehed gentle- man," continued the rector; "quite a geutleman, don't you think, my dear?" "Quite," assents Signe, "Yes, he played and sang beautifully." "Lady Rookwell said he was a pro- fessional," said Mrs. Podswell, grim- ly. Signa shakes her head confidently. "No, I am sure he is not." ^ • "Ahern—how do you know, MY dear?" asks the rector, curiously. "Did "No, he didn't tell me; at least he admitted that he was not," says Signa, reflecting. "I wish we knew who he was," re- marks Mrs. Podswell, complainingly. "It is very awkward; Lady Rook - well asked a hundred questions about him last night, and I could not answer one scarcely." "11 doesn't matter," says the rec- tor. "I believe he intends leaving the place shortly." A sudden vague pain strikes Signe, and her head droops; but see recov- ers herself, and looks up calmly enough a moment afterward. "And what do you thiiik of Sir Fred- eric?" asks the rector with a smile, 'Sir Frederic," replied Signa, absent- ly, "Oh—he was very polite!" The rector coughs and takes ub a. note which lies on the table. "Ahem! lie has sent over by one of the grooms an invitation, ttaY dear." "An invitation?" says Signe. "For Mrs. Podswell, do you mean?" The rector colors and coughs again. "I thhink, my dear," he says awk- wardly, "that you might call your aunt by a more affectionate name— ahem!—"Aunt Amelia' would sound better." Signe smiles and flushes a little, "Very well," she assents in that Calm, quiet way which so awes the rector "The invitation is for your aunt and you, my dear," he goes on. "It is—er—rather short notice; but Sir Frederick apologizes, and presses you to take advantage of the fineness of the weather. Would you like to go, my dear?" Signe, looked over at her aunt, in- quiringly. "Oh, don't study me!" says Mrs. Podswell. "I dare say I shall manage it. In fact, we'd better go. Sir Fred- eric wouldn't like us to refuse." "You see, Sir Frederic is the most influential man in our part of the country, my dear Signe," explains the rector, deprecatingly, "and he is— ahem!—rather Mueller. It Is very kind of him to send over so soon after last night, and so early. The groom is waiting for an answer." "Pray, do not let us offend Sir Fred- eric," says Signe with a laugh. "The consequences would be too fearful. But what about :Archie's lessons?" and she looks over with a smile at Archie, who sits open-eyed, and lis- tening 'with all his might. "My dear," said the rector, blandly, "You really Must not Id your self- imposed &ley interfere with your 'in- nocent pleasure, It was very kind of you to undertake Archie's education, but of course we understood that it was merely as a pastime lot you, and that it was not to be an irksome task. Archie will do very well; we couldn't think of allowing You to cohsider yourself an ordinary governess." "Oh, but I can't give up my position as Archie's guide, mentor and friend," says Signe, smiling at the blank look on A.rehie's face. "Well, Well, miinnurs the rector, awkwardly. "We shall see about it; at any rate, Archie can have a holiday to -day, eb, Arehle," and he smiles across at the child, who takes no no - tide of him, but watehes Signals face.

At One Time a Sneeze Was Re- garded as a Deailt Warrant, " • Sneezing from vdy remote times has been regarded with superstition. Our forefathers went to bed, again if they sneezed while putting on their Mmes. A sneeze to the right was deemed lucky; to the left, of evil por- tent. To sneeze near a burial place Was very unlucky. Tradition has it that sneezing was at first .a fatal sign—every human being sneezed but once and then died—but Jaeob petitioned the Creator to re- move the sneezing ban and succeeded.

All over the world the sneeze was recognized. Whole na- tion e were under °niers to make ex- clamations when their king sneezed.

Throughout the West Indies, Central and South America the native women make wonderful etraw hats. The Dutch island of Curacao, near Venezuela, is famous for the eXteutional women straw hats that are there produced. Porto Rico and Cuba make excellent ones from the leaves of the palm. while Ecuador, Panama, Honduras and Peru are noted for their Panama hats. While wealthy men have been( known to pay as high as $100 for a Panama hat, such prices are decided- ly unusual. Hats of the best quality, pliant and flexible so that they May be folded and carried in the pocket without injury, can be purehased for from $2 to $40, depending upon the shrewdness of the buyer and the fin- ancial needs of the maker or seller. Women and children, owing to the deftnees of their fingers, make the best hats, and but few men are en- gaged in the industry. No factories exist for their prOduetion. A. the hats are finished they are either trade ed to the village storekeeper for ne- cessarlea or sold to the native buyera, who send them let Iota of fifty to a hundred to the m.erchants at the port. —W.
