Th 2 story brought back the agony of by -gone days; it paled her face and made her hands tremble. Lady Enid SAW the distress she had produced, but attributed it to the girl's' sympathetio nature.

Some day, dear, perhaps you will tell me what It is and. if I can, with all my heart I you." Margery knelt beside the chair for a few moments; then ehe raised, her head.

She felt that the brother and sister had much to speak of that was of moment to themselves, and she shrunk with natural aelicacy from intruding. She employed her morn- ing in wilting a long lettereto Miss Law- son and 'Wahl some hand-tiereens for Lady Enid. . The afternoon sun tempted her to go out, and she wandered round the garden In the square, ignorant that a pair of dark eyea were fixed admiringly on her alight graeeful figure and on the wealth of ,red -gold hair gleaming in the sun- light It was a dreary plot ofdlround to cell it, garden -the trees were. begrim. ed with the smoke of the city, the flow- er beds were faded and dull, the . very earth was hard and cold -looking -yet all its dreariness watt loat in Margery. She paced its -paths nearly every dap but she not see her surroundings - her mind was too full of thought, In her mo- ments of solitude her • memory claimed her, though she was struggling hard to forget -the pain of her lost love was too new yet. Alain and again she would go 'back to those two days standing .out clear and distinct from all other days - the day of happiness unspeakable and the day when the sun had shone on the hot dusty lane and she had heard the woe& that drove that wonderful happi- ness from her tender young heart for-. ever. She watt content, gratefully con- tent in her present life, for site lmadj peace and affection; but, happy, she whispered to herself, she 'could never he again. , • Her letters to Miss Lawson were cheerful and chatty, but the governess put them aside with a strange sensation of pity. She felt that there was some great sorrow, a serrow which Margery must bear alone, that none could alle- viate. She wag gratified at the succesa of her pupil; and from her sister, Mrs, Fee thergill, she heard of the warm friend- ship that already existed between Lady Enid Walsh and her companion. The girl's heartfelt gratitude pleased and touched Miss Lawson, and. she was glad to know that her judgment of the maid's character lia.d been right, that Margery was all she had expected. Gratitude in- deed was the warmest feeling in Mar- gery's breast just now; she could not thank her governes enough for as- sisting her at •a time when she most needed assistance. To have stayea at Hurstley would have been worse than death, she told herself. Ai she crept away in the freshness of the morning, she took her farewell of all that had been dearest and best to her, ant, with a courage born of despair, faced the un- known futtule unfalteringly. Reuben Morris had accepted with little surprise the news of her hasty departure; he knew that Miss Lawson loved the giri in her quiet way, and would watch over her, and her speed to be gone matched Ids Own •plans, for the veseel started three days earlier than he had eXpectect, and there was no time to be lost. Margery travelea up to the great city, silent and corrowful, her hand stasped in Reuben's with Miss Lawson by her side. Not 'till she reached the docks, which she had pleaded to be allowed to areompany Reuben, did she learn that Robert Bright, too, sailed away from the old tountry in the same ship, and the news was the last drop in her al- ready overflowing cup of grief. She spoke a few words to lain. urging him to stay; but, when she learned.l"thal her love was all- that mid keep she was sileutt it was impossible -it coold never be. So the two men went togeth- er, and Margery stood beside Miss Lawson, the tears 'Winging her eyes as the huge veesel glided away. 'Alen in silence they retraced their steps; and Margery was launched upon the world. Her secret was safe.

"I will speak to her at once, and make arrangements to 'dart whenever she likes. But yog- yeu do not object to leave London?" "I?" gitesttoned the girl. "No, Lord Court, I have no objection; it matters ilttle to me where 1 am," He miet a quick, earnest glance at her, "You are youpg to Bey that." Margery flushed; she had spoken um reflectingly, and she regretted the words as soon as they- were uttered. "And wrong," she said, with bored lightness. '7 Oen enjoy the change; and anything that makes Lady Enid happy is a great pleasure to lite." Lord Court was silent; but he read her aesunted manner rightly,. Ile blew Margery's history well; still he felt inetinctively It was not her orphan state alone that had caused such a remark. Margery was unaware of his covert glances; she picked two or three leaves from the trees as she passed and ar- ranged them. in 'a cluster with an artless tie toad, "You are an artist, Mies aw " the earl observed, is they approached the gates. 11 "I paint a little, but only Bowen," she returned, "I used the brush a few years. ago," Lord Court said; "but I do nothing now, and, with, the deeption of a few Egyptian sketches, I have no drawinga of my travels," He (melted the gate ae he spoke; then, suddenly meeting the full gaze of her wonderous eyes, he said almost in- voluntarily; "I* think I will paint you, if yet will allow me," "I will sit to you Most willingly," Margery returned, smiling, "but only on condition that you make a picture of Lady Enid," It is a, bargain!" he cried; and Mar- gery felt a thrill of aleaeure 1 Ids words, By this promise she knew she would bringhappiness to the young sister - happiness because her beloved Nugent would be near her. "Let us go and tell her at onee," she said, turning her lovely face, flushed with pleasure, to him. "Ah. you will see my words were right last nighti You. will 1>e a better physician than I could ever hope to be." The earl mude no reply, but followed her across to the holm. At the door of Lady Enid's room Margery paused. "It will gladden her more coming from you," she -whispered; and she hurried away. • Lord Court watched her disappear, then entered the room. "Have you found ber, Nugent?" aeked Lady Enid, fixing her brown eyes upon him. "Yes," he answered, drawing a Apar to her couch and looking at her pale fragile form with a dull pain fit his heart. "We have been talking together, Fenid, and we have merle two arrange- ments which we hope will please you. The first is for all us to go down to Court Mailer as soon RS ever you like.

From New England comes a plan of fighting the tussock moth, which, effective, is worth trying. The Plan " quite simple, and is described as fol - First of all you catch a caterpillar or two, preferably those of a 'wander - hag habit, adults if possible, This dpne, the rest is easy. he little worm Is then induced to partake of your hospitality in the shape of watered lettuce leaves. He will probably like the diet and will feast on the leaves. When he has gorged to the full and a,b- solutely refuses to have another dish, you turn your wormy guest loose. If you feel like it you can invite him to come again. You'll be safe in doing this, for there's no danger of his return - Jag. For the first day or so after the caterpillar has leftyour doorstep he'll be feeling fine and will strut -no crawl -about among his fellows telling the tale .of the watered lettuce leaf meal. Then he will begin to feel sick. A lit- tle later he will be quarantined by his mates. Why? Simply because he has caterpillar cholera, sometimes called the wilt disease. And during the time that 'he' has been .at large he has spread it well about the neighborhood -among his own kind, of course. Within the week the insects will be lying dead in rows on lawns and side- walks, according to New England stories. Prof. Reiff, of Harvard, says that the diet of watered lettuce gives the tussock ca.ternillar the cholera, and he Is of the opinion that it will prove effl- cacious. He has experimented with the brewntail and gipsy moth, also, and finds that the "wilt disease" spreads; quickly among them after a feed of the watered lettuce leaves.

The mansion was bUlit as a re- sidence for the Duke of York, second son of George HI., sou was known et, first as York House; but the Prince did not live to inhabit it, and after his death in 1827 the Crown lease was sold to the Marquis of Stafford, who was created Duke of Sutherland. This Duke spent an enormous sum in addiog'the upper storey and the interior clecorations. It is estimated that over $2,500,000 have been spent, on the fabric of the house since it was acquired by the family, which late made it famous all over the world, • • * BLOOD POISONIN' G RESULTS PROM.

Some idea of the power of an air brake may be gained from the follow- ing fade: It takes a powerful locomotive draw- ing a train of ten passenger ears a dis- tance of about five miles to reach a speed of sixty miles and hour on a straight track. The brakes will stop the tame train from a epeed of sixty mike an hour in 700 feet. Roughly it may be stated that a train may be stop- ped by the brakes in about 3 per cent, of the distance that must be covered to give it its speed. -Scientific Conspec- tus, LONDON'S GREAT FUR SALES. An interesting sight in London is one of the great periodical sales of raw skins and furs held at a fur warehouse in the city. The magnitude of the trade and the vast amount of money involved would surprise anyone who visited one of these sales for the first time. At the premises in Great Queen street one can wander from floor to floor piled with thousands upon thousands of skins until one begins to wonder where all the crea- tures they once clothed lived. -London Graphic.
