leaden green water. There were no
waves; it was as•if the titanic move-
ment from below agitated the eurfaee
and caused .the heavy sudden motion.
As she stood thus, her husband ap-
proaehed her.
"Not tired of the sea yet, my darl-
ing?" lee said, with a smile. "I obeli be
afraid to suggest a inigretioa if, this
devotion lasts meelt longer."
"It is so wonderful," Margery answer-

"There will be a. storm tomight. 1

"It looks an angry, diseontented sea,"
Margery said, still dreamily-eae if its
passion would be terrible when it did,
break forth."
"'Look at the foot of the Templates

say, Margery, sullen discontent in its

With a little shudder Margery turned
from the window.

said hurriedly, with forced lightness. "I

Yes, she must go.

"The tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me!"
The truth. the agony in those %voids,
struck her with bitter force. She roused
herself with a great effort, determoied
to fling aside all ber weakness and face
her duty.
The entrance of Pauline ebeeked her
musings.

maid, delight shining in her great Week

how great is. that wondrous love!"
The husband and wife sat silent dur-
ing the greater part of the journey.
Margery, resting her head against the
cushions, sat with closed eyes. .The earl
thought she slept, but sleep was far
from her. A vague louging seized her
that she might etip "back into the far
• distant past when she knew neither the
greatness of joy nor the bitternese of

CHAPTER XXI.
It had been Lord Court's intention to
travel with his wife straight down to
Court Manor, after resting a day or two
in 'London; but the death of his ahnt,
Lady lierivale, immediately on their al'.
rival, necessitated his presence in town,
as her affairs were left in his hands.
Margery.at first felt disappointed at the
delay, but, after a week had passed, she
grew content. They had a suite of
rooms at the liristel, and. to Pauline's
delight, were in the yery heart of Lon-
don: Horses and carriages were haeught
up for the Countess, of C,ourt's use dur-
ing her brief stay, and the -slender black -
robed girl with sweet pathetic face and
crown of xed-gold hair, provoked univer-
sal admiration. The earl had not many
near relatives; but such of Ms connec-
tions as were in town paid an early
visit.to Lady Court, and found thehe en-
ticipations of dislike turn to wonder at
the gracious dignity and sweetness of
Margery's presence. She soon learned
that her strange romantic mariage was
the one topic of the moment in society,
that every one was eager to see tee un-
known girl who had won the heart of
Nugent, Earl of Court, so eligible yet so
disappointing a parti. It gave Margery
no pleasure to receive and return the
visits of the stately ladies who claimed
to be her husband's friends; still she
forced herself to do it, as the laeginnine
of her path of duty. Every day, as she
drove out,' she dreaded to see those two
faces whose images she could
not banish front her memory;
and she would shrink back
in the corner, of the luxurious carriage
as she passed.a riding party, forgetful
for the minute that her own features
were hidden beneath the thiele black
veil which, despite all Pauline's protege,
she would wear, forgetful too of the feet
that, were she to -meet Vane Charteris
and Stuart, they would never associate
Margery Daw with the Conntects of
Court. For lie mentiott of her name be-
fore her marriage had drep t out. Tlie
world knew that the earl had taken
bis sister's companion for his wife, and
there its information ended. Mise Law-
son and Dr. Fothergill and his wife
were alone in the secret, and with them
it- was safe.
One afternoon, at the beginning of the
second week of their stay in town, it
trial came to Margery's pride, Lord
Court was claimed by the lawyers; and,
after it morning spent among ber books,
Margery prepared for a drive and, some
visits. Pauline dreesed the slender,
graceful figure- in the black garments
and , fastened the sable mantle while
she tittered exclamations of delight at
her mistress' appearance. She made it
slight protest as the veil was produced;
but Margery was firm, and the delicate
face with its great blue eyes was com-
pletely hidden beneath the thick folds.
The first visit was to an old march-
ioness who had fallen a victini to Lady
Court'scharm and Sweetness, and Mar-
gery made great progress toward friend.
ship., Several ladies were present, and
frome one and all she received kind
eongratulations.
"But now I want to beg a favor, -dear
Lady Court," said the hostess, after a
while; "it le rude of me, perhaps, but
I hope you will forgive it. Will you not
remove thee. thick veil? We can not see
your fair young face, arid nature has
been lavish to you, child, you can af-
ford to be generous."
Margery laughed softly, anct put up
her hand to Armin the veil, when the
door opened, and a voice announced -
"Lady Charteris -Miss Charterisl"
Margery felt the blood surge in her
ears and a mist rose "before her eyes;

She acknowledged the introduction
with a slight bend of the head, then,

to her carriage, her brettst full of stormy

"Live and let live, as I will do -
Love and let love, and so will 1;
Not while 1 live, not though die.
Good night, goodbye!'
It was a new song sent in with many
others by the earl. Margery played it
through, and sung the words in a low
sad voice, till the passion of the music
awoke a chord within her; and then, as
she neared the end, her tones rang out
clear and sweet through the.large room.

the news came that you had gone to
Australia, with Reuben and Robert

and blamed you. The Brights are heart-
broken at Robert's leaving there. and
all the fault is laid at your door. They
do not opeak kindly of you, child; and,
when first 1 heard them, I had great
difficulty inholding my tongue. But
you had begged for secrecy and silence,

came poor Lady lenid's death, your mar-

ing but wait. I have waited; and now,
Margery, I have come here for the very
purpose of asking you to 'take the seal
from my lipsthat'I may explain to the

Margery had risen to ber feet, her
heeds pressed to her bosom, her face
deadly pale.

inured, bitterly "how terribly cruel!

• APPETITE FOR SNAILS.
The snail appetite of the whole
• world is increasing so rapidly that the
enail fraternity cannot eupply the ele-
mend, and the result is that some
Frenchman has worked out an im-
• position: in the shape of an, artificial
• snail, the only genuine part of which
ie the shells, which are ueed over and
over again. The artifidial snail is
very difficult to detect-, even bythose
who pride themeelvea, lee their epi-
curean accomplishments. The sec-
ond -handed shell is taken and filled
• with a morsel of • the lung of -a
• healthy beef, which is cut in the de-
sired form by it piece of machinery
which cuts ita in a corkscrew shape,
The mouth of the shellale then seal-
ed with a. coating of heated fat, These

ahnost impossible to detect the fraud.
AN X SHAPED BRIDGE,
In One of the southern cities of this
country there has bee a a "X" shaped
bridge in use for a long time, and now
the proposition of erecting an °X" shap-
ed bridge over the Seine is being consid-
ered. -As a matter of .fect, the idea has
been practically adopted, the only diffi-
culty being the lack of money, and. if
this is sucessfuelly looked after the
bridge will be built. One great advantage
of such a structure is the fact that one
pier in the middie of the streams sup-
ports both structuxes, while if two
bridges were built the ,difficulties of
navigating the stream would be in-
creased.

A PROBLEM YET. .
Nearly two hundred and fifty years ago

Alas, not only the high school boy, but
not even the most learned ran give any
definite information on gravitation. The

I hiwe110 .doubt t).at the old iden, of
prayer as a bee:Niers of God to see aside
wise laws to accommodate puny , and
often foolish men, mill more and more
fade away as men grow wiser. But 1
think that all this will only prepare the
way for true prayereethat prayer which
seeks to get the eigliest spiritual good
by confirming to the highest spiritual
laws Of our nature. This kitia of ;wile-
er, I theik, me shall no more outgrow
than we shall outgyow hope, or love, or
gratitude, or aspirfttion, or reverence, or
the sense Of dependence en n Higher
Power, or the need, in our weakness and
sorrow of comfort end strength from
some source eigher than ale poor selves.
. . Thus. 1 think, as we get away
from the old, lower views, and eorne to
understand the higher conception of
prayer which corresponds with the high-
erconception of God, it beeoines clear
that religion has nothing about it, that
ie more perfectly rational, and eertainly
nothing about it that is more uplifting,
and in the profoundeet way helpful, to
events, erring and sorrow -laden human
Wive than prayer -the communion of

ent; the caleying of our little men; of

MONA LISA'S SMILE,
Folly -one-half of.the fame of the
picture es due to the adjectives which
have been applied to Una smile. It
ie enigmatic, ineffable, mocking, sad,
sohtle, haunting, mysterious, eig-
nifleant and a number of other
things, according to the degree of int.-
aginatvve tectivity and inventiveness
qf the writer. Tales are told of the
eireurnetances under which the pic-
ture was painted, which ere well cal-
enlated to enhance the interest of the
romantic and eenthnental reader.
Leonardo found, for example, that he
could not get that enigmatic, ineff-
able, mocking, s 4. subtle, haunting,
etc., endle to appear unless dome -
body played some special air -while
he was at work; the only wonder is
that we are not informed what that
certain etrain was and who produced
it, or whoemanufacturecl the in.stru-
ment upon whleh it wee played. The.
art of advertic.ing was in its infancy
in Leonardo'e time.
Looking at the picture without pre-
judiee, one dieeovers that La Gio-
conda's smile is not so very wonder-
ful after all. It has always seemed
to us sly and complacent, nothing
more. -Boston Transcript,
