Lady Blanche, standing behind the
curtain, her eyes fixed, with an ex-
pression not .good to see on so fair
a face, on the two forms silhouetted
against the sky.
A high ambition had stolen into
Lady Blanche's heart the moment the
marquis entered the room. He was
the highest in rank, the wealthiest,
in every way the best part. present ;
and she was, in her own opinion, the
!most beautiful woman there. Why
should she not be the Marchioness of
Nairne? All the evening she had been

With rage and inortification. Elaine

hers, the daughter of the half -

by the family as a kind of pariah
and outcast—would be the Mar-

seemed to hear the marquis' step
and looked up.
"Well, Nairne," he said ; "have .eau

The marquis let his 'hand fall upon
the blind man's shoulder.
"Amazingly!" he said. "Yes, that's
the word, Luigi. Why, didn't you go

is ?" and he took out his watch. "No?
Neither did I. The hours have flown.

Lady Blanche, feeling her way„ for

"Tell no one,'- the marquis ha
said. The injunction was not neces-
sary. There are certain crisis )
one's life when the heart swill ad-
mit of no confidant. Elaine could
not have told her father if she had
tried to do so. There seemed to he
something almost sacred in the con
fession, the avowal the marquis had
made. He had not only told her tha
he loved her, but he had, in a men
ner, confessed that his future mora
and spiritual welfare depended up-
on her. He had spoken of his past
with the sorrow and bitterness o
remorse, but Elaine was as far as
ever from realizing what that past
had been. She was almost as innocen
and unspotted of the world as
cloistered nun, and though his word
and moved her and still thrilled ber
as she recalled them, they conveys
no tangible idea to her.

found herself .repeating the magic
word in the silence of her own room
and the music they made 'within her
heart should have told her that
they found an erbo there.
The faint light o1 dawn was break -
'eat softly in the heavens before she
undressed and went to ped, but even
then she could not sleep. She could
only lie with closed eyes and 'think
and think, with the strange feeling
that was half joy, hal pain, in its
intensity, filling her heart.
And, could site have known it, there
was another heart too full to sleep
that morning. The marquis, too, lay
awake., thinking of her and all that
h,er love would make possible for him,
and the first rays of the stun that
stole into his room found him, as
they found Elaine, still awake and
pondering over the crisis which love
had wrought.
Fanny Inchleyps brain was busy,
too, hut she slept as peacefully and
soundly as a child, and woke late in
the morning as alert and acute as
an admirable piece of mecbanism
which had been newly wound up.

niece to keep to their own part of

obeyed the injunction as to confine
her rambles about the place to such
times as the marquis ,turas out or at
meals. But an these occasions, and
when the marquis was absent from
the castle, Fanny roamed about to
her heart's content, and Mrs. Inch -

In the Matted States title oldest
timepiece is the famous Eadloott
. sundial, made In London in 1.8817,
and it was brought to this country
the same yeas by Governor Endi-
cott at the time he brought the
fleet of ships laden • with! immigrants
to settle in and ,around Salem:
The dial stood for a great num-
ber of yeage in front of the Endi-
(Sott mansion in Salem and was in
the hands of the family until sixty
or seventy years ago, when it was
placed ea the care of thte East In -
iia
Marine e Society of Salem. The
Society . y hold it in -trust until 188cJ,
when it name into tae posscflsslon
of the Ensor Institute, where it
now rests in a glass case in the
museum, •
Being unable to reclaim the orig-
ginal, members of the family have
on different occasions had repli-
cas made in bronzes and placed
near their residences♦
The sundial of . Ring Ahaz, who
lived 742 years before Christ, is
the first dial on record in the
World. The dial was a graduated
instrument baying • degree marks
of some kind whksln showed the
daily course of the sun. The Old
Testament tells us that it was
known in Jerusalem as early as
seven centuries before Christ and
the manner of Its mention indicates
that it, was a novelty in that city
at that time.' Tjale sundial took
many forms, Tlhe art o1 dialing in-
volved mathematical problems of
considerable complexity, and it is
very likely that this contributed
to the knowledge of mathematics
which the world possessed at that
early period.
Imperfect sundials were common
in Rome about a. century' and , a
half before the Christian era, so
common indeed, that, as new in-
ventions nowadays afford mater-
ial for the paragrapher, they were
targets for the funny men of the
period,
'The Romans later perfected a
sundial suitable to their latitude,
which' was much more accurate.
The dial was later adopted aad im-
proved by European nationa, and
some very aeurate ones were made
by clock makers throughout Eur -
IA. dial, or rather a series of dials
of every conceivable description
forming a structure, was erected
in Whitehall, London, in 1889, by
order of Bing Charles II. It was
the invention of Francis Hall, a
Jesuit and professor of mathema-
tics at Liege. Vertical dials, inclin-
ing dials and dial♦ for showing time,
as computed by various nations at
different periods, were all included
and ranged on platforms.
Of these ,bowls or brackets appear
to have been .the most attrac-
tive. One, on the first platform to
show••' the hour by fire, consisted of
a little glass howl filled with clear
water. This bowl was about three
ischets in diameter, and was placed
in the middle of another sphere,
about six, inches in diameter, con-
sisting of several rings or. circles,
representing the hour circles in the
b eaavene
The, hoer ,was known by applying
thee hand to these circles when the
sun shone, and that circle where
the hand felt burned by the sun-
1;eams passing through the bowl
filled with water showed the true
hour.
Ring Alfred measured time ity

uular lines to indicate the hours. In-
genious devices were adopted to
prevent draughts Pram, striking the
flame, and thus, as it were make
"time speed on its flight" by melt-
ing the talloav of the candle before
it was burned, but this was a very
imperfect methal of timekeeping.
The gnomon, the predecessor of the
sun dial, was probably one of the
earliest devices far the reckoning of
time, and it may reasonably be con-
cluded that the Egyptian "pyramids
with their great altitude formed
parit of a design for timekeeping by
the shadow thrown an the desert
sands. The obelisk, too, in all pro -
liability, served the purpose, for, as
a matter of history an obelisk at
Rome was actually used far a sun
dial in the time of Emperor Augus-
tue.
The rising and setting of the sun
and the changes of the moon were
undoubtedly the first records of time
kept by man, the shepherd of the
early ages reckoning time by full

The time system of early Rome
was of the rudest character. The;
day and night each were divided into,
four watches, the periods of which
were roughly determined by observe,
tions of the courses of the sun and
stars.
The Accensus watched for the mo-
ment when, from the Senate House,
he first caught bight of the sum.
between the rostra and the 'Graeae-•

the wings on either -side of the face,
which are in reality doors to pro-

The Dearth of News.
The papers are prosy' to -day,
With nothing at all to say,
Except of a stabbing affray,
And scandals a few,
t. financial review,
A murder or twp,
A political stew,
1A 'threat of a war,
You can't tell what for,
The lvxeck of a car.
,The success of a star, .
A hold-up that's bold,
An ordinance sold,
ETho plans for a fair,
'A car for the air,
A trust that is now,
Some railroads to sue, .
A strike that's begun,
With three others done,
A roseate scheme,
filo get rich—in a dream., .
A yacht built to beat,
A flurxty in wheat's
The bruise of a. fleet, ,
Epidemics to fear,
Inventions to oheer,
A peacemaker killed,
A prize fight just "billed,"
And a few other tbfuogs,
Of society's flings, -
Or political rings.
That's all that the papers display]
They have really nothing to say .
That's worthy of r.otice to -day.
