Christian names, who were suppoeed to
be smitten by her, that Ida, often listen-

confiences, not Feldom "got mixed,"
"The one who went to South Australia,"
Isabel went on, with an affectation of coY
'shyness. "We used to see a great deal of

went away; and though there really was
nothing serious between us, of course—

Of -course, as I said, nothing definite bae
gassed between us. but—"
She giggled and simpered significantly;
and Ida, trying to force hereelf to take
some interest fastened the collar for
Isabel, and gently and with much tact
persuaded that inartistic young lady to
discard a huge crimson bow which she
had stuck on her dress with disastrous re-
sults. Wheal, eom li ele time Weer: 'Idea
went down to tits awing -room, she found
that the visitor was like most of those
who came to Laburnum Villa, a very
worthy person, no doubt, but uninterest-
ing and commonplace. This Mr. George
Powier was a heavy thick -set man, ea -
Preaching middle. age, with the air of a
prosperous merchant, and with a some-
what rhy and awkward manner; It seem-
ed to Ida that he looked rather bored as
he at on one of the stiff, uncomfortable
chairs. with the mother end daughter
"engaging him in eonversation," as they
would have called it. His shyness and
awkwardness were intensified by the en-
trance of the tall, graceful girl in her
black dress, and he rose to receive the in-
troduction with a startled kind of nerv-
ousness,
ervi
ousness, which was reasonable enough,
for the young- women with whom he asso-
eiate,i were not dowered with Ida'a very
palpable grace and refinement,
Ida bowed to him, made some remark
about the -weather. and went over with a
book to the sofa with the broken spring --
and promptly forgot his existence. But
her indifference was not reciprocated, the
man was painfully aware of her presence,
and after endeavoring to carry on this
conversation with Isabel, grew absent•
minded and incoherent, and presently, ae
it he could not help himself, got up and,
edging nervously to the sofa, sat down.
and tried to talk.
Ida cloeed her book, and, as in duty
bound. yrae civil to him. though :,not per-
hape so civil to she would have been to a
man of her own age and class; but Mr.

the class to which he helonged--•gee'ry ere
neevoue, and to bee own amazement `
'found himself 'talking presently .qgurte
fluently to' this dfetinguishedlooking
young lady wbose entrance of the draw-
ing -room had struck him with awe. With
inetirctive courteousness and kindnese,
Ida had asked him some question about
South Australia, and Ire "yaks led to talk
of his life there, and to describe tho
country
Ida found her thoughts -wandering after
a few minutes, and grew absent-minded;
but Mr, George Powier was launched on
his favorite subject, was delighted with
the condescension of the beautiful. and
stately listener, and did not notice that
she was scarcely listening; did not notice
also that Mrs. Heron was looking discon-
tented and 'sniffing peevishly, and that
Isabel's Ince wore an espreesion of jeal-
ousy and resentment. The fact was, that
the poor man had quite forgotten the•
other young woman -and the other young
woman knew it. •
Suddenly their silence bore down upon
Ida's absent-mindedness, she felt rather
than saw that .eomething was the matter,
and she got up, in the middle of one of
Mr. George Powler's fluent but badly eon-
structed sentences, and going over to Isa-
bel asked her to play eomething.
Isabel flushed.
"Oh, you had better ,sing," she said;
Mir. Power -would like that better, I'm
sure,"
•Ob. yes; please do!" pleaded the man;
and Ida, trying to conceal her weariness
and distaste, went to the piano and sang
the shortest eong she knew.
Her acquiescence was unfortunate in
its result, for it completed iu Mr, George
Powler's bosom the havoc which. her face
and voice had wrought. He pressed her
to sing again, beat time with his large •
hand and badly groomed head, and was
enthusiastic in his praises; and seemed
so disappointed when she refused, that he
secondee her ap7ieal to Isabel with an ob-
viously forced politeness.
Isabel went to the piano; but she was
at no time a very brilliant performer,
and the poor girl was so upset by Ida's
unconscious and unwi'llin. superiority,
that she broke down in the middle of
one of those hideous drawing -room piecee
which seem epeeially 'arranged" for the
torture of those who are bleesed or cursed
with musical taste.
The conversation naturally lagged and
langatished under these circumstances,
and Mr. George Pow'ler presently rose to
take his leave. Re was not asked to re-
main to dinner though Mrs. Heron had
intended inviting him, and had made se-
cret and flurried preparations He shack
hands with Ida with marked empresse-
meat and nervousness, and seemed as if
be could eearcely tear himself away.
When he had gone the mother a.nd.
daughter sat bolt upright in their chairs
and stared before them in a pregnant el-
lenee; and Ida,' wondering -what was tl e
1el. matter, was about to leave the roost,
n
when Mre. Huron said 111 a hard, th'n
voice:
"One moment, Ida, if you please.
Ida paused at the door with her book in
her hand, startled from her dreaminess
by the woman's tone and manner.
("You had better close the door, Ida. I
should not like the servants to overhear
what it is my duty to say to you."
Ida closed the door and stood expect-
antly, and Mrs. Herrin continued:
"1 truet I am not one to Rad fault un-
neceesarily. I know it is the duty of a
Christian to be patient and long,snffer-
ing; but there is a limit to one's endur-
ance, and I regret to say that you. have
passed that limit. I should not be ful-
'filling my duty to a young person who is
under my charge if I refrained from
pointing out to you that your conduct,
since you have been under our roof, has
been • reprehensible and, disgraceful." ' .
Ida was too amazed for a moment to
realize the full significance of the 'spite -
f1gthe a it gradually
u Leech • and n s Y
sl
dawned upon her, the blood rose to her
face and an indignant 'Protest rose to her
lips; but she checked it, and merely re•
peated the objectionable phrase.
"Yes, disgraceful," said Mrs. Heron. "I
am sorry to be compelled to use such a
word to a young gixdl and to ono in your
pcsition; and I do not -think you make
matters better by pretending not to know
what I mean."
"It is no pretence, Mrs. Heron," said
Ida, quite calmly. "I do xxot in. the least
know what you mean."
"Then I'll tell you," retorted Mrs- He-
eblerWith suppressed fury. 'You are one
of the most shameless flirts I ever
knew."
Ida felt en almost irresistible desire to
laugh: she had been tired when she came
in, Mr. George Powler'e attentions had
made her Mill more weary, and the sight
of the two women sedted bolt upright and
evidently boiling over with anger, was
full of a -grotesque humor which affected
her hysterfc+ally. She managed to stifle
the laugh, and looked at them patiently
and calmly as she stood by the mantel-
piece with one arm resting on the shelf.
Tho unconsca us easeand grace of her
attitude increased Mrs. Heron's irrita-
tion; her thin lips trembled and her eyes
grew red.
"Oh, I am not Mind," she said. "I've
been quite aware of your conduct for
some time past; but I have refrained
from speaking to you because; as I say,
you are under my roof and I did not wish
to hart your feelings -though I am sure
you have had very little regard for ours.•
I have been greatly deceived in you, Ida.
I thought when you Dame that you were
a quiet, we!' -conducted young woman, and
I could scarcely believe my eyes when I
first sew that I was mistaken, and that
your quietness was only slyness. I sup-
pose you didn't think I saw that you were
trying to 'entree) my poor boy; but a Ma-
ther's eyes are sharp, and a mother will
protect her own at any cost. Oh, you
needn't try to stare me out of. counten-
ance, or to put on that eurprised and, in-
nocent look. You may have been able to
deceive me once, but you can't now. I'
been watching you, and I've seen with
own eyes, your.. carryings on," •
Mia I?'n]• " began Ida, very q
ly; butra heron tore on with bract

there would be any good in it. that hi

head and made him miserable. It's to b
hoped that it will atop there, and tha
he won't be driven to drink or desperat

course you'll say that you never mean
anything of the kind. I'm quite prepar
ed for that -you can be plausible enoug
when you like; with that quiet, eat-lik
manner of yours."
Ida had passed beyond the laughin
,stage by this time; her fare was pale, hei
eyes flashing; but she was able to say
with an appearance of calm:
"You are quite right; Mrs. Heron;
have no hesitation In saying that'( di
not wish' your son to pay me any atten
tion, much less— Oh, do you not se
how ridiculous it is?" she broke out, in
dignantly, and with a little deeperat
laugh.
etre. Heron's face flamed.
"I don't know what you mean by ridict
leas,' she snapped. 'I should say Josey
was quite good enough a match for. you
and I've no doubt you think so, thous
you pretend to sneer at him.'
"Let me assure you, Mae, Heron, that
have never thought of your son as a ]res
eible -husband," said Ida. "His attention
to me 'are more than unwelcome -and h
knows it."
"Oh! then you admit that the poor bo
is in love with you, that he has told you
You see, you can't deceive me. I knew -i .
I wonder you aren't ashamed of yourself;
at any rate, having caused trouble in the
house that shelters you, that you haven't
shame enough to refrain from flirting be-
fore our very eyes, with the fleet man
that appears."
Ida stared at her in amazement, too
great for the moment to permit of resent-
ment.
What is thee you accuse xne of?" she
asked. "Oh, pray, pray, do not be so au -
reasonable, so unjust!"
Mrs. Heron wagged her head, as one
who is not to be deceived by -any affect-
ation of innocence.,
No, thank you, Ida!" she exclaimed.
"That won't do for us. We've seen it with
our own eyes, haven't we, Isabelle'
Isabel took out her handkerchief and
began to whimper.
"I should never have thought it of you,
Ida," she sobbed. 'And with George, too!
And I'd only just told you that -
that there had been things between us. I
do think you might have left him alone"
Ida was half distracted.
"Bat you really cannot mean it!" she
pleaded. "I have done nothing, eased no•

with a just wrath which could no longer

"You 'aro guilty," retorted Mrs. Health.
"And as to your being fit to remain under

happy one until you came -you are the
best judge. I shall inform your ootxisiu
John of what has passed -it is my duty to
do so -and he shall decide whether you
are to remain, a firebrand; and a disturb-
er of the peace
of a Christian an household:
It is m diary t3 to protect my poor. boy."
At that moment the hall door was. open,
ed and closed, and the 'poor boy," after
shuffling about. fn the hall for a moment
or two, opened , the drawing -room ' door.
His hat was on the back oe his head, ane
end of his oollar was unfastened, his face
was flushed, and there was mud on hie
coat, as if he had . Fallon -which he had.
He lurched into the room -with a tipsy
leer, and, nodded to them with that, -affect-
ation of extreme sobriety which is unfor-
tunately assumed by the individual who
is hopelessly intoxicated. Mrs, Heron
rose with outstretched hands.
"Oh, Joseph are you ill? My poor
boy!"
"Hill?" he repeated, with a hiccough.
"No, I'm not hill. Yee, I am, though; it's
mental worry, it's a arrased :'part;" he
looked at Ida and shook his head re-
proachfully. "She knows, butshe don't
care— But whatsh the matter?' he
broke off, staring at Isabel, who was still
struggling with her sniffs and rebs.
"Whatsh up? Whatsh Iuabel cryin' for?

Hedelurcrhed towards Ida, and as she drew
back with a shudder of horror and loath-
ing, Isabel and his mother caught the
wretched young man by the arm, and
with cries of alarm and commiseration,
endeavored to soothe him.
"Don't speak to her, don't think of her;
she's not worth it!" said Mrs. Heron.
"She'a not worth any sensible man's

BATTLES FOLLOWED BY IIAIN.
Downpour Ras Somethnes Had In-
fluence on the Issue.
It is one of the extraordinary
things of 'warfare that a !big battle
invariably produces torrents of
rain.
History contains innumerable;,1n.
stances, (both on land and':sea, and

,Norna or showers that followed an
3ngagement had no 'small influence
anon the life of nations, says Pear -
son's Weekly.
We can hardly have a ;better ex-•
ample than that recorded in 1588,
when England. was threatened by
the great Spanish Armada. After
its encounter with our own fleet it
was, as we a!ld know, ,struck by a
heavy storm, which completed the
work of our own gallant seamen.
Tlhe soldiers who fought so brave-
ly under tht leadership of Marlbor-
ough at Blenheim in the year of
1704 had to suffer the misery of suc-
cessive downpours after their bril-
liant victory.
Marlborough was anxious to fol-
low, up his victory without delay,
but. his -nen were so worn by the
fatigue of the battle and the 'dis-
comforts caused by heavy rain's and
the contingencies of warfare that h
was unable to push on for ,several
days.
On June 16, 1815, the British de-
feated the French at Quatre Bras,
nd I apoileen worsted the wily Blu-
:her':aat Lima, .;Qttt. ,a'x llin< measur-
ble dist'al:me , of Waterloo. . . The
heavy rains which followed these
engagements made the clayey •soil
almost impossible for cavalry man-
oeuvres at Waterloo (2fought, on
June 18),- and so crippled the tac-
tics of Napoleon and greatly assist-
ed those of the Duke of Wellington,
The victory would have been, gained
in any case, but experts are of the
opinion that the ram was an •ally of
some value.
During the early weeks of the
siege of Sebastopol, in 1854, the
emir of cannon and explosion of
bombs was followed, day by day, by
heavy downpours of rain, until, as
we read, our men stood in the
trenches knee-deep in mud. A ter-
1'ible gale broke over the Black Sea
and caused great disaster to our
transports, and on the heels of this
tempest came a heavy, steady down-
fall of rain that brought death to
hundreds of our gallant fellows.
In yet another instance the heavy
cannonading of a siege brought in
its train a disturbance of the ele-
ments. This was just prior to the
fall of Plevna, in 1877, when the
moisture of the ct. >ud•s• was turned
to snow -as ib fell, and, by increas-
ing the sufferings of the (besieged,
helped to make Osman come to the
determination to try tt last chance
for 'freedom.

with moisture, a concussion caused
by loud reports or noises will often
burst the clouds, with the natural
result that the drops of water fall
to the earth. This has been practi-
cally tested when farmers have been
groaning over the drought, and
scientists have induced the desired
rainfall by causing cannon to be
discharged at altitude's varying with
the locality. When, however, the
discharge is continuous, as in bat-
tle, it is obviously more effective.
