The next morning, while Lady Ether-
idge was engaged in giving directions to
her maid in. regard to the safe keeping
of her costly Jewelry, preparatory to her
journey into the country, a letter was
laid before her, which, opening, she found
to he the appointment of herself as maid
of honor to the Queen, with a command
to her to repair immediately to \Windsor,
where the count was then residing.
With the letter in her hand, Rose went
to the dressing -room of the duchess, and,
being admitted, put it into her hands.
"My dear, this is fortunate. You
need not now leave town; the court of
Queen Charlotte will be a refuge," said
the duchess, with a smile.
Rose answered,,, that smile with a
brighter one. Young, beautiful, weal-
thy and noble --queen of beauty and of

"You need not countermand your
peaking, my dear, as you must take your
wardrobe to Windsor with you, of
course,"'said the duchess.
"When should I leave?" inquired Rose.
"To -morrow afternoon, at farthest. I
shall go deft in a few days after you.
Now, run away and superintend your
preparations."
And the interview closed.
The evening of the same day a tall
thin dark figure of a man, with his coat
collar turned up and his hat pulled low
over his brow, *night have been seen
treading some of the narrowest courts
and alleys in one of the most crowded
parts of central London. He paused be-
fore a gerat, dilapidated house, that had
4n the olden times, been the town man -
elan of a proud prelate; but, long fallen
from its high estate, was a tenement
crowded with beggars, tramps and with
thieves, who after pursuing, ad day
Iong, their nefarious trades through the
strets, retired here at night, some to
eat, drink and sleep, some to concoct
new plans of robbery, and others to hide
from the pursuit of the law, for as yet
the character of this house was, un-
known to the •police, and its moldering
wails, yet afforded sure refuge for fugi-
tives.
"Disgusting place! What ever can Rob-
erts be hiding for now? For nothing;
that has brought him much profit. re- he
would not be perdu here; he would •het
out of the eountry,'.' said the man, as be
entered the wide, open hall door, and
picked his way, loathingly, along a lofty
passage and up a broad staircase, eom•
mon to all the tenants of the building,
and as filthy as the foulest outside el -
ley, or the most neglected stable yard.
The only modification was that on ever,
successive Ianding the dirt was a little
less thick and moist, as though the ad-
hering contaminations from without had
gradually fallen off from ascending foot-
ateps. From the open doors of every
room in this house squalid children tum-
bled in and out, and the querulous voices
of angry, drunken, or suffering men and
women were heard.
Through all this the visitor passed up
to the third floor. and turned to a door
on the right, and gave a peculiar rap.
"Come in," said a very pleasant, man-
Iy voice.
The visitor entered a large front
room, dark, dingy and scantily furnish-
ed, yet free from the dirt that defiled
the lower rooms and passages.
."Ehl what the deuce, Roberts; that
was your voice, but where are you?" in-
quired ho, looking about him, in the semi -
obscurity of the apartment.

"Welcome, most noble Mac., to the old
palace of the lord bishops of Ely. It is
many centuries since the followers of a
court honored its halls wit the it pres-
ence," said the inmate of this room, ad-
vancing to meet his visitor.
"Eh, good heavens, William, what has
brought you, the greatest epicurean in
town, to this beastly place?" exclaimed
the visitor, In dismay.
"Necessity, good. Mae; necessity which.
knows no law. But I may ask in my
turn, what brings the most assiduous
courtier of the day into 'this same
'beastly' plate?"
"Remotely, the same necessity; prox-
imately your note of this morning."
"Ay, my note. I wrote to you by a
trusty 1neeaenger to send me ten pounds;
Y thought you would have sent it."
"I chose to bring it, I have been for
days in search of you, and considered
myself very lucky this morning in re-
ceiving your note."
"Evert though it coat you ten pounds,"
laughed the fair-haired man.

"It is you own fault, William. You
have twice the genius I have, but you
are too effeminate, too much afraid of
labor, pain and danger. What you
would do must be done in profound
secrecy, and is done with so much eau -
tion and hesitation as to defeat its pur-
pose. If you had an enemy, William,
that you were obliged to get rid of, you
would not challenge him and run him
through the body, as I Should, because
you would not like to see his blood flow,
and would very much dislike to have
your own spilled. No, you would get
rid of your enemy by administering to
him some slow, sweet poison, that should
bring on a gentle decline, and easy, pain-
less death. Nay, I could even imagines
you sitting by the bed, smoothing the
pillows, and soothing the last hours of
that enemy whom you had so gently con-
ducted to death—you are so benevolent
as well as so effeminate."
The fair-haired man smiled softly and
brightly, murmuring:
"You were always a flatterer, dear
Mao; even before you dreamed of be-
coming a courtier."
They shook glands and parted.

BIBLE TRANSLATION,
The Work is One Requiring Great Train-

To any person who gives. the matter
the least thought, it must seem nothing
short of miraculous that aao magnificent
a piece. of literature as the Christian Bi-
ble could ever be translated inabe the
spoken tongue of savages who possess
no written language at all, and in thou-

important words of the Bible. Well do I
remember Dr. Haven pointing out to me,
at the Bible Society headquarters, that
the phrase "Lamb of God" was found
a very serious ,ebstaole in turning the
New Testament into Eskimo, for that
people did not know what sheep were,
had never seen any, and could not con-
ceive of them. Therefore the phrase
was rendered "The Little Seel of God."
Naturally, then, this question of
translating the Bible calls for labor
which can fairly be called heroic. A
translator must devote his life to the
work, as did Bishop Scherescheweky.

pose of, and that as he expected his will
would be contested, he wanted a state-
ment from me.
`'1 examined him thoroughly, found he
was mentally acute and in every way re-
sponsible. In fact, my inquiry developed
the remarkable fact that, while he was
word blind, lie had developed a remark-
able arithmetical knowledge. He was an
adept in every sense, Fig -tune fairly
spoke to him. Since the time he was
stricken he had conducted a big business
and had. done it in such an astute way
that he had accumulated a fortune. He
had complete mute asphasia, but was
indeed a sharp business man. I was con-
vinced that his mental centre for arith-
metic was separate and distinct.
"To test his acuteness of intellect I
misread two or three words in his will
ago he instantly caught me up and up-
braided his lawyer. I made out a cer-
tificate to the effect that in my opinion
he was perfeci,iy competent to make a
will. Two months later this remarkable
man was found dead in bed, and I learn-
ed later that the certificate which I groat!to him was the means of preventing a
will contest."—New York Herald.

DUTCH FISHING VILLAGE.
Saturday adorning, sometimes before
the dawn, the first sails of the fishing
fleet creep over the northern horizon anti
slip down, like homing pigeons, until by
noonday a double or triple ring of heavy,
brown bows marrows it into it tiny pool.

cleaned, overhauled and re -stocked for

that checks the Zuyder Zee, and on the

A World -Wide Signal,
An interesting proposal is made to the
effect that a world-wide signal should be
sent round the British Empire at a giv-
en hour each day by gun tfire, to be
Icnown as "The King's gun signal." It
is suggested (writes a London corres-
pondent) as a beginning to the new
scheme that a gun should be fired sim-
ultaneously at Malta, Calcutta, Hong
Kong, Melbourne, Cape Town, and Ot-
tawa. Other guns could be added as ex-
prience is gained and the sentimental
idea underlying the proposal is that
when the gun is fired British subjects
all over the world could say that "all's
well," and that they are thinking of
each other, no matter how remote they
may be from each other.

The Strike Industry.
In Butte, Mont., there is a perfect
epidemic in strikes. All sorts and condi-
twine of union men go on strike at vary
ing intervals, and the town is to all in-
tents and purposes "tied up," The news-
papers have suspended publication and
the mercantile establishments, deprived
of their advertising medimns, are doing
nothing. It is now threatened that the
workmen in the eoppex mines will quit
work, which means that the industry
that sustains the city will cease opert-
tions.

'Most of the people 1n Washington dine
between 6 and 7 e'cloelt. This Is galled an
early dinner, but the Washington pooplo al-
ways were a slew rot. The usual hour of
dining In Charleston is 3 o'clock. It is an
old English custom, we believe. At any

because we cling to It to tenaciously. It Is
a very Inconvenient hour to most people
who are engaged in gbusiness, but it to the

Enormous Product of Iron.
During the first half of last year it
seemed improbable that the enormous
rate at 'which iron was then being pro-
duced would be kept up through the
year, but the statement of the Iron ani
Steel association shows that the pro-
duction in the last six months was ac-
tually greater than in the first. The
whole production of pig was well over
25,000,000 gross tons. Tho total number
of furnaees in blast at the end of last
year was greater than at the end of any
previous year since 1880, and it must be
remembered that in seventeen years
there have been great advanoes in the
size of furnacee.—Philadelphia Record.
