E213 r Iierr ndrnolhee5 Porgrait THE STORY OF A LOST WILL The morrow passes; the day dies. Night comes on apace and covers everything. At the Grange the fid- dles are sounding, bright forms are Moving to and fro; the air is heavy with the breath of dying flowers. It is eleven o'clock, and the ball is well begun; the music grows sweeter, fainter; fans are waving gently. Down at the cottage a girl is stand- ing in a white gown at one of the open windows, and is gazing eagerly, and with sad, straining eyes, at certain lights that, two miles away, can he o-�liiat L.fir to/%rases I. 1 ofLyour r [barn tae the first part to feel the effects of wear and weather.

It is must natural, is it not? What is there else foe him to think of? She herself, how dearly she would like to be there, too! She glances at her gown and tells herself that almost she might have gone— and then she shrinks within herself, and refuses to confess, even to her own heart, that it would have been agony to her to have appeared badly dressed before—before—oh! many people! She sighs impatiently, and the tears gather in her eyes, and blot out the lights shining gayly so far away; they blot tut, too, a dark figure that, ad- vancing rapidly through the few shrubs, enters the second open win- dow, and, crossing the room, is at her side before she has had time to re- cognize him. It is George Norwood, of course—a little flushed from his run, and with his hair slightly ruffled, and with the gladdest light possible in his hand- some eyes. Monica, moving backward, involun- tarily seizes the curtain with one hand and stares at him almost affrightedly. Her attitude reminds him of that happy moment when first he saw her. Before he has time to speak, she re- covers herself and says, with a poor, attempt at coldness: "What has brought you here?" "You knew," replies he, calmly; an. overpowering' desire to see you—to hear Som• voice again. Your face was in every corner, smiling at me— your voice was clearer than the hand, and called me incessantly. I have come!" "Where is Julia?" asks she, reproof in her voice, unmistakable gladness in her great gleaming eyes. She has got a heavy spray of scarlet geranium in the bosom of her white gown. It rises and falls nervously, as she stands before him, trying vainly to be stern and angry. 9 011 Upward TRIAL a‘inte, Rev GUARANTEED CREAM SEPARATOR A SOLID PROPOSITION to send nengxll made, easy running, parreet Allowing separator for only 116.96.

"Go back to her. I won't have you herr. Go back to bee at once!" "I won't," says Mr, Norwood. "But I desire you," exeluims she, with it little stamp of her foot. "Of course, if you turn me out, I shall have to go," says George Nor wood, without showing the faitttes symptom of an intention to depart "but I certainly sha'n't go to Julia -- I've had enough of Tubo,' Monica's breath comes a little quick- ly, she lifts her hand to her soft, rounded throat. "You ought to be with the woman ynu mean to marry," she says, slowly "I entirely agree with you," says Norwood, with the utmost vivacity "But that wouldn't drive me back to the Grange, I shall never marry Julia," "You don't know what you are say- ing," says Monica, shrinking still fur- ther from him. "I do. Quite well. I ought to have said it before, but to -night I have made up my mind. If you refuse me, I shall never marry any woman— never! My darling, don't shrink from me; say you love me, say it—Monica, say it." I "No—no. You must be mad," says the girl as, white as death, with both hands she keeps him away front her. °It is £10,000 a year. You shall not do this thing. In the morning you will think---" "As I do now," interrupts he. "And as I thought yesterday morning, and every morning during the past week —that I love you better than my very life—to say nothing of filthy lucre." The pressure of the hands that re- pulsed him is flat so strong now. Emboldened by this sign of corning weakness, he goes on with renewed spirit. We shall be poor, you knew; but you said once you thought a700 a year quite enough to live on. You can't go hack of that now. You said also that it would be a disgraceful and con- temptible act on the part of any man to marry one woman when he loves another. You can't get out of that either, and I am not going to look either disgraceful or contemptible in the only eyes I worship," The bands have grown quite reason- able now, and, indeed, have slipped from his chest to his shoulders. ":Monica, I am yours, whether you like it or not. You must try and make the best of me," he said, very humbly. "My beloved, I can only promise to be a good husband to you • till death ns do part!" "Do not talk of death," she whisp- ers, tremulously. "No! Shall we not pray that we may die the same day, and be buried in the same grave? But, living or dying, my own darling, every thought of my heart will be yours." The hands have slipped a little high- er up, and now with a faint but heavy sigh that is almost a sob, she twines them round his neck and lays her soft cheek against his. (You must imagine a good many asterisks here, and then we go on.) "How was Julia looking?" asks she presently. They are now sitting close together—very close indeed—upon the patriarchal sofa that certainly has seen better days. But if it were satin and down they could not have been more contented withit, I "Very handsome," replies he, with the most satisfactory indifference, "'Icily regular, splendidly null' sort of business.

"I ant sure of it as that we are sit- ting here," says Miss Norwood, sole- mnly. A further demonstration that they now really know what love means! "Do you know I'm awfully hungry," says George presently, without the smallest shame, or recollection that people in novels never eat anything when filled with the tender passion. "Are you? Do you know, so am 1, but I ddn't quite like to say it," con- fesses she, naively, "The servants are in bed, I am afraid; but there is cold chicken in the pantry, and—" "Let us go for it avt'selves," says George. "As we are gi,ing to Set up housekeeping on a limited scale, the sooner we learn how to lay a table and help ourselves the better," "I don't believe there is any sherry," says "Miss Norwood, blushing gener- ously; "but there is"—with cousider- able hesitation—"beer," "If there is one thing en earth I love, it is beer," says George Norwood. "'There now," murmurs she, re- proachfully, "And just this mo- ment you told me you loved only me." "And so I do, and you only," de- clares he, fervently. More asterisks! "The liey of the beet is always kept behind this picture," says Monica, pointing to the oil -painting of her grandmother he hail admired on the first day of his arrival. That's a good thing to know," re- turns he, Laughing. ( "Well, take it down for me now; it wilt be a lesson. You will ]snow ex- actly whet to go for it next time."

"Mere padding," guesses he.

"What was the date of our grand- father's will?" he asks eagerly. ""I mean how long 'before itis death was lit written and signed?" ,1 "Three years," says Monica, Fazing at him in wonderment. •! "Anel this is dated six months be -1 fore his death," Bays he, with some- thing in his that resembles awe. 1 "This is another and a later will, Monica, and it bequeaths all to your, Ifather." 8 a n 10 was quite true. I suppose the old; man, when feeling sickness come on him—that first attack of paralysis that suggested to him the possibility of death—had repented him of the be- trayal of his promise to the wife, dead 1 and gone for seven long years, but green still in his memory. To leave all to the son of her heart—the first, and therefore the dearest babe that had lain on her bosom—was her pray- er. And the father, thought estrang- Ied from his son for many reasons too numerous to mention here, had suc- cumbed as a husband should to the love of his youth, and had sworn to [her that justice should be done, Yet it was gall to him, the doing of it. Gladly would he have got out of the promise given to the dying woman, but even though the grave closed upon her, she had a hold over him, born of memories when spring was glad with flowers, and the sun shone, and all was youth and love. And yet the gall rose to the top; and after a bit, so strong was it that he looked about him for a way to ful- fill his promise to the dead and yet work his own desire. lie would make a new will—so far she was obey- ed, poor soull—leaving all to the eld- est son, whom he so deeply detested, • and it should be given into his own hands, but in such wise that he should he none the better by it, I His mother's portrait was made the medium. Behind it, in between the wooden back and the picture, the old ,man in secret hid the will that vexed him, and in the first document, that suited his pride, he inserted a codicil, leaving portrait, concealed will, and all to his eldest son. Yet Fate is strong, and Time brings all things to perfection. Julia, when matters were made clearto her, took it all very badly. Having a very good income of her !own, and an implacable temper, she 1 refused to be comforted, and went abroad to Egypt, or Tangiers, or somewhere, and may now be married to a swarthy prince for all I know. I Pretty Monica has married her lov- er, and when last I saw her, was teaching her little son to "Ride a cock - horse to Banbury Cross" on his grand- father's knee, (The End), Ii�YY ABOUT THE HOUSEHOLDh t u ksn Carrots Are Health Producing.

Innocent Persons Shot in Poland and Thousands Deported Daily. Under the heading "German Rule in Warsaw; Coercing the Polos by Ter- rorism to Slavery," the London 'Dimes published recently a narrative describ- ing outrages almost rivalling POme of those committed in Belgium, as told by an educated Pole belonging to the (government of Warsaw who has ,just arrived in Holland. The Amsterdam '1'elegraaf publishes this statemena of conditions of life In Warsaw under German military domination: "The Germans," he said, "have in- stalled themselves in the grant Pellets city as if it had been their home fol• some time past.
