Samuel King.) .One of the most interesting pinees to visit in all the metrOpolis is the Royal Mint, situated wit= it stone' threw ot the historic Towmeof London, lt is the hnsinese of the Royal Mint to send out every coin bearing the por- trait of the Xing. Men also bear the portrait of the King of Kings, "For good ye are and bed, and like to cable, Some true, some light, but every one of you - Stamped with the image of the King." Rut no piece of money may leave ths Mint unless it be of full value, ami most delicate instruments are employed to ac- eurately weigh each. pieee of money be- fore it pesses into ctrcuation.

She remembered that calm, happy life et Lyenewolde when her beauty and grace won these cold Eng- lish hearts, and she had learned to love lier cousin with all the deep wild force of her passionate nature. She remeMbered a night, even such a one as this, when. the silver moonlight had rested upon the trees, and ehe had eat out among the rota% happy in her passionate love. Then came the teinptation arid the fan; she betrayed the gentle 'sister who loved her, the kinsman who trusted her -she eeherned, toiled, end lied to win his love -she won it, and now her sin had found her out. "It has been all wrong!: she cried; "wrong from the beginuing.-nothe Ing could undo it. I cannot bear the shanae and the exposure; there is but one clamp°. I have lived a coward's life -I must die a .coward'a death." Then she left the window and open ed the little writing desk. A por- trait of her husband, taken only e few days before, lay among the papers; she kissed it passionately but no tear fell from her bureing eyes upon the loved features. She wrote rapidly, and her letter ins to Agatha. She confessed all to her. She told her in minutest details the •story of her life at Sor- rento, its living death, its unbear- able monotony and gloom; of her fancied love, her folly and blindness, her rash hurried marriage, her brief dreara of happiness and her despair- ing awakening when she found the fatal letter; she concealed nothing. Then she told her of her journey home, and the anguish she had felt in bearing with her the burden of her secret. Without praying for pardon she told the story of the white hyacinth, and owned how she had betrayed her sister and robbed her of the love and positionthat ought to have been here. She told, too, how she had striven to win that love for herself, and had succeeded -how, in the very hour of her brightest triumph, her sin had found her out, and the man she believed dead had stood before her alive and well -how he had tor- tured her, arid' would only leave , her in peace at the sacrifice of her sister's happiness. "I could not betray you again, Agatha," she wrote. "I might have done so, for you love me very much; and perhaps had I tried to persuade you, you might have listened to the count. I could net betray you again; and when I saw you to -night so hap- py with your chosen lover, Allan Leigh, I resolved Sooner todie than. see you wronged. "Agatha -sister, shield my memory. Never betrayme to Philip; do not let him despise me. Never tell him the story of Alm flower, Perhaps in after days he may ask you why you did not understand him; then, sister, for our father's sake, spare eny mem- ory and keep my secret. I would have died to win his love; I do die to pre- serve it. Do not let him despise me dead. Let him love my memory,even as he had loved me. When to -morrow comes, . and when you know what it bringe, for my sake consent for once to see my betrayer. Tell him I prefer- red, death to life: and that the only sin 1 cannot forgive myself is the sin of ever having loved him. Tell him hie schemes, his hopes, and his plans are ended -that in his hour of need no mercy will be shown to him, for he has shown none to me. Tell him he will try to forget me, but will fail, for he has hunted inc to death. "And, Agatha, my darling, gentle eider, -after awhile, when you have ceased to mourn for me -make Alhrie happy. You are good, you deserve a aelm, peaceful We. I have been wicked, but all will be ended soon, and I shall be at rest, Make Allan happy -and take care of Philip. "I leave one legacy to you -the care of my memory. Guard my secrets; conte when you have read this into my room. Kiss my lip, and promise me that no one, save yourself, shall know why I have died." CHAPTER XXII. . There was no lighter, happier heart in the world than Agetha, Lynne's on that eventing. AS shis listened to the story of Allan's love. She had always liked him; there had been a time when she had pre- ferred her cousin; Lord Lynne; but he had not levee her, and she was not the girl to waste her life in vale sorrow and regret. When Philip's image faded, Al- lan's took He place. She had eared for no one in London, because she felt that he loved her, and she liked him better than ahyone else. • There was a deep sense of happiness in her gentle heart; there was nothing to feet She Mum that Philip and Inez would take her to marry Allan; she would live near them, and they would be one happy family. She lay down to sleep with a, quiet smile upon her lips, her face wearing the gIad look of a tittle child. Itow long she had slept Agatha did not know; the morning light shone grey and dim in her room when she was aroused. by -some one trying the handle of her door. "Who is there?' she cried, Wondering who eould want her at that unusual hour of the night. "Let me in, Agatha," said her sister; "I want to epetik to you." 111 a moment the door was unfastened, aria the sisters stood fitee tO fare. "Inez: dearest. what is the matter?" dried Agatha. She was stupefied tit Lady Lyium's appearanee. Her face was White, her lips drawn, gatd her hair hung over her shoulders. "X have been ill all eight, Agatha," replied Inez; "I ain going to taeep now; hut 1 warden to see you first. See," she continued, drawing from beiieeth her dressing -gown a packet of papertallela have brought, you this. I know you al- ways keep your wait, Agatha, Will,you prom/lee me that in the morning, betweeit seven and eight o'elock, you will read it t° "I will teed it now, if rat like," said Agathe, gently. "NO; that will bet do," said Inez. "Prondee me that you lnU ime with it under your eillow,dhat you will read it et the time 1 mention, end that the 1110- 11.151111111011.2. ment you have read it you will, before you leave your roona destroy it. Prom - lee me, or 1 shall not sleep!' "Then1 promise vote faithfully," said Agatha, williug to lamer what she be- lieved to be a sick fancy. "Place it there with your own hands, eeer, and I will not touch it until seven oeacielc. It is just three now," she said, looking at Ler watele Lndy Lynne placed the papers beneath the pillow, and then she knelt by bee sieterie bedside. "Agethre Wilzig," she saia, "life woula have been very different for us both it pare ago I had come liome to my fa- ther'e house, Ent you love me, do you not, although yon have not known me long?" "I love you ail the better or that," aid Agatha, with a bright smile, "I have to Mire up for all thoee lost yeare if I Ineve ever ben 'unkind, or cola, or cruel to yote you will forgive me?" eentinued Inez. "I shall sleep bet- ter, dear, If you will kiss we and tell me Agatha threw her loving arms round, the stately figure of her seder; she drew the white, beeotiful face down, to here, and kissed, it again and, again. "I have asked. you something la this letter, .Agatha," Amin In "Promise me yen will do it." "I promise you, dear," replied .Agatha. "And now try to aleep. You look so ill, am, frightened." Once snore Lady Lynne kissed the sweet face with its golden hair; then, with a gentle, noiseless step, she retell!. ed to her own room, "Yes," she said to herself, "I shall sleep well. I wonder if all sio brings ite own punishment, As mine has done. She did not look this time at the mir- ror; had she done so, the white face, with de awful Idols:, would have alarmed her." Once more she went to the window, and. looked her tut on the blue sky and the fair earth. "Farewell, life, beauty, hope, and love!" Wee immured. Then came to her, as she stood there, e vivid recollection, of Bertie Bohtm; she saw again the brave young face, and heard the earnest voice. S,he remember- ed his words: "If ever you are in teouble, or want a friend, send for me." She weadered, with a dull kind of won- der, if he could ,help her; hut to, the web was woven tightly round her, and there was no escape. "His last recollection of me 4101 be a .eleasent one," she etild, drawing the folds of her dressing.gown around. her, "Oh, mother, mother," she murmured - "the mother whom I never saw or knew -if you had taken me with you, I sleauld not have been left to die alone." in the clear, mem stillnese of the brigid Italian night she laid. herself down upon the bed she was never more to leave. The rich raasses of hair fell over her shoulders -a few tears, so burning that they seemed to scorch her face, ran down her cheek, the lase poor Inez would ever shed, The hand, that raised the fatal vial to her iips never faltered; something like a prayer, a wild cry for mercy escaped her, then the nerveless haud. fell down, and Inez, Lady Lynne, "slept well" at last. Agatha, wondered for some little time at, her sister's strange visit, but her thoughts wandered to Allan, and then she forgot it in her busy dreams. It was the broad, clear morning light that awoke her at last -a sunbeam peeping right into her room, and seething to re- proach her for sleeping so long. It was not until she was wide awake that the young girl remembered her sis- ter's visit, and. the letter. True to her promise, she first looked at her watch - it was just tialf-past seven; then she turned to the papers andbegan to read them. A horrifiej expression gradually stole over her face as she read that confession. Pity, compassiou, and shame ,succeeded each other rapidly in her mind. Could it be that. lier beautiful, gifted sigter, had done this -had married seeretly, and never even told Philip? When she under- stood it fully, and found. that it was the count who had hlighted that young _life, she shivered. with sickening apprehen- sion. That her sister, Lady Lynne, of whom they were all so fond, and. so proud, could have deceived her husband so basely! -oh, why had she not told all when she found the count Still lived? Pity came after anger. What had she not suffered! -and then, with. ever-growing surprise, she read how she herself had been betrayed. "Then he did love me after all," she cried; "but it is best as it is. Allan would have been Wretched without me. Poor Inez! she hes been sinned against as well as sinning." Then the reading of thet sad. letter alarmed her. What did she mean by epeakiiig of death and dying? A dreadful thought' flashed across her for a ntotnent; it rendered her helpless, and she fell back, unable to move. What might be happening while she delayed? Still, true to her promise, she destroyed the letter before she quitted Iier room, She was hurrying alimg the corridor when she tact Stephanie., her sister's maid. The girl looked pale and fright - "Miss Lynne," she said, "I eves jiist coming to fetch you. 1 bah knocked twenty times at my lady's door, and she has never answered Inc." Agethit's heart almost stood still With fear; she knocked, and celled. Inez, but no answer caM. Then she opened the deer gently, and entered the mem, All that was mortal of Lady Lynne lay up- on the bed 'before her, the beautiful fade white and still, the lips forever Bitola Lord Lynne!" eried Agatha, with a low ery, MS she fell upon her knee*. It seemed hut a moment, and the terri- fied husband Atone beside her. "Great heaven!" he eried, in a voice they never forgot, "elle is dont" Yes, dead and at rest, with it look up- on the exquisite nice that awed them by its peaceful solemnity.

The news gradually spread, aud crowd of people iteeendeted around the Palazzo Mond. They epolsa in svillspere of the terrible acciaeut, of the wealth and lovelineas of the lady who lay dead, of the grief of her husbandand the son row of her friends, But amongst that vast erowd oue whispered that the lady upon whom Nature and wealth had lavished their Wrest gifts had, by her own hand tut +bort tlie life thee her own folly blighted. - Agatha end Lady Florence were be- wildered by the dreadful ehock.

Every word of that letter seeMed burned upon her heart; She could not forget it; she could not forget the last de- spairing clasp of her sisters's arms, or the look she had seen upon her floe, It was it fearful secret for one so yonng to, keep, but she guarded It well, CHAPTER .N.M1111. To this day, in the great cemetery of San Lorenzo at Rome, people show the grave of the'beautiful lady who (Rae at the Palazzo alone, and waose husband sorrowed so deeply that lie became ill and nearly lost his life. There is it fair white marble monument, and. it. tells the ego and name of the ill-fated lady who sleeps beneath. Years afterward, -when the sad story was fading in men's minds, there came one day to the•grave a young English officer. He had tray. elled. from Canada, he said; and the guide who took him to the -cemetery saw hire lay his heed down upon the marble, while deep, bitter sobs shook hisleehratinele.Bohun never forgot Lady Lynne; no Other woman's face ever charmed, him. He never spoke of love again; his heart was buried in the grave of the beautiful, brilliant girl, who had remembered Ids love in the last aud most bitter hour of her life. Never had any event; caused a. greater sensation than the sudden death of Lord Lynne's young wife, The Palazzo Glom was thronged with visitors, call- ers and, friends. Agatha Lynne saw but one, and that, was the Count Rinaldo, She gave orders that, if he called, she into the darkened room where she sat, wished. to Rio him; and be was shown He was pale awl agitated, "Miss Lynne," he said, in a low voice, "I dare hardly ask can this sail news be true?" "It is true, Count ItIontalti," she re- plied, "Who should know better than yourself? You hunted her • to death. I will give her last message to you, and then never let me see you more. For your own base and cowardly sake, you will keep my poor sister's secret. Its betrayal will harm no one but yourself. She is :Safe oat of the reach of ell the harm your slanderous words Can do her." He listened while she repeated the words Inez had written. The power of speech seemed to have left him. He had, in his mercenary schemes, pushed his cruelty and persecution too far, and they hadrecoiled upon himself. Agatha Lynne spoke but feie word.s to aim; they were what a good spirit might have used, but they -were spoken . ram. His schemes and plena were over; the fate of the wicked was apon him. Go where he would, do what be might, the face of the girl he had deceived and hunted to death imunted him. He tried everything -he plunged int() mad scenes of the wildest dessipetion-he sought re- fuge in the haunts of the gay and the worldly; but all In vain. Sleeping or waking by might or day, he saw that face. Tthere was no oblivion for him. He ieft Rome before the funeral of Lady Lynne took plate.. Three years eftersvard Agatha read in one of the French daily journals it short paregraph, which told of the death of Count Rinaldo Montalti, He died etah- bed in a gnarrel which took place in it Parisian gambling -house, and lay Lynne was avenged. After her interview with him was ended; and. he had .left her peesenee frightened and, subdued; Agatha went to the room where her alter lay.

Not much attention has bi given to ari interesting expedition which has started for the Dead Sea. It is exclusively in the hands of religious bodies of England, France, Germany and Italy. Nearly half a century ago the Duke de Layries and the geologist Lartet conducted an expedition, and the latter wrote the report. The bot- tom of the Dead Sea is some 438 metres below that of the Mediterran- ean, No fish is found in the waters, which are bitter and salt.

The Oxford professor tancludes his letter with it narrow question: "Is it easy to recon. cite this Italian catastrophe with the providential government of the world?" It may be difficult for us who see but dimly and whose vision is limited. If we take particular events and measure them by our own idea,s of God's provi. denee, we shall wither away through fear or perish in our own conceit.

He complained of the fulness of the throat, a condition which he thought the result of the hiccough. He was directed to sit up, and. with a large spoon handle the tongue was press- ed down and back with steady force to allow inepection of the fauees. Firm pressure on the tongue with the hope of further noting the adieu of the palatal muscles Waa continued, when to the doctor's surprise and the patient's as- tonishment and joy the hiecougli ceased. When the hiccough returned the patient himself stopped it by using the spoon handle. -London Globe. • UNDERWOOD 111101116MEMSEARRaelklan A large institution, recently purchas- ed 80 Underwood typewriters, discard- ing 80 madam* petterneo after the Underwood.
