Her reverie Wee ent short by the sound
of Airs, Barrieon's bell ringing very itn-

the mirror and glided Otto the adjoining
apartmeut.
"My dear Flerlee, why are you not at
the wiudow to watch and warn rne Of
my nephew's approach?" she exeleimed,
fretfully and bertably, adding:
run so nervous -so anxious about him."
"I am sorry to have caused you one

smooth, musical voice as she took up
Iter position at the window. "You shall

hour passed, aud the hour hand of the
ebony elock on the mantel travelled

handsome laggard came not.
The woman on, the eouch, propped up
by half a dozen pillows, could illy con-

by the window, as immovable as a mar-
ble statue, Was wrapped in her own
thoughts. The darknese was now lm.

better to stare out there into the dark-

Leaving them thus, dear reader, you
and I will go forward a little and dis-
cover what had become of the object of
their solicitude. We will not have to
travel far, for on the outskirts of the
hamlet we can readily discern two
horsemen making their way through the
huge snowdrifts. As the first glance,
even in the waning light, We eau see that
the foremost rider is Clifford Carlisle,
the original of the portrait on Mrs. Bar-
risends easel, and that the other is his
colored valet.
As he advances nearer we can study
him more closely. Handsome, beyond all
doubt, Clifford Carlisle is, but there is
much of the satanic beauty in the dark,
• finely chiseled features; the piercing
block eyes looking out from -under the
straight brows, and the raven black clus-
ter e of hair, tossed back from the broad
forehead. Xis chin was perfect -artists
before now had said so; so was the curl
of the jetty, silky moustache -but they
did not add that without it the entire
expression of his faultlessly handsome
face would be so changed as to shock
his admirers. His mouth in repose were
• just the expression that the artists were
wont to paint upon the countenance of
Satan himself, betraying- recklessness,
craft, a fiery temper, and all the devil-
ishness that such sneering eurl of the
lip eould convey.
But of his temper we are soon to be -
Come aware, for even as we take In
every detail of his perfect fact and fault-
less dress, a fierce impreeation bursts_
from his lips.
The black horse he is riding rears eud-
denly, terrified beyond all control at

half buried in .the snow, end in less
time than it takes to tell it had wheeled
suddenly about, throwing his rider in a
huge drift, and was rearing and plunging

bank scarcely a rod ahead.

Clifford. Carlisle !scrambled to his feet,
andthe volley of curses, loud and ring-
ing, that fell from his lips was horrible
to hear, In an instant he had snatched
something from his breast pocket; there
was a report simultaneously with a flash
of lurid fire, and when the smoke cleared
away Sambo saw the horse that his mas-
ter had so lately ridden lying still and
lifeless in the huge drift, Black Heron
would never respond to his call again.
"That is the fate of everythIngehuman
or animal, that opposes rue," said the
master, coolly replacing his weapon to
his breast pocket, adding in the next
breath: "Get down; I'll ride tbe mare;
you ean trudge along behind,"
"Yes; merge," mumhlea the valet,
scrambling with alacrity from the sad-
dle, knee deep into the snow, "but rim
got to tell you that -that—"
"That -What?" thundered Clifford
Carlisle, advancing threateningly a step
towatd the frightened, terrified fellow,
"That the mare has done cast a shoe,
Bah," faltered Sambo.
"Curse your infernal black neck, why
didn't you tell that before, and I Would
have put off Black Heron's punishment
until we had finished our journey?"

"Confound it!" mit in Carlisle harshly,
without heeding the other's ineoherent
words, "of course there is no black-
smith's place abodt-there never is one
handy it a dilemma of this kind."
"I think there am, salt!" deelared Seet-
he, hastily, "Pee she! I haw one jes' as
we turned into this road."
"Lead the way and I'll follow, riding
Ladybird," commanded Carlisle and,
raging at every step over his ill ILek in
coming on horseback instead of waiting
for the stage, he at last found himself
standing before the closed door of the
bliteksmith's shop.
"Itello, there!" he celled out loudly
and sharply. "This way, smithy -make
haste, I sty!"
In answer to his salt the wide door
swung open, and, instead of the gritty
horseshoer whorn he -expected to see, he

Then, paying little heed to the other
two oeeupants of the ehop, she bent to
her task without further comment.
With etch stroke of the hammer froin
that perfect arm, that swung up and.
down with the precision of a pendulum,
the sparks flew about in a shower of
gold, and in lees time almost than it
takes to dnetribe the uncommon scene,
the best turned shoe bleat Ladybird had
ever worn was fastened to her dainty
foot by those supple tittle brown, hands.
"Now, Me," said the girl, .gravely, "I
think you will be able to resume your
journey in safety."
"I eaten always keep that shoe as a
souvenir of this place,. this hour, and

"I aan seventeen," she answered, pock-
eting the bill with an enthusiasm thet

"Do you live here?" he inquired, shill

asked, abruptly,
"How in the world should I know?"
retorted the girl, petelantly,
"What was he talking to you about so
earnestly after he paid his bill?" he
asked, watehing Nome's face uneasily,
for there was an expression on it that he
had, nevem seen there before,
"The weather," laughed the girl, jocu-
larly.
"1 do not like him," said Joe Brain-
ard, slowly and thoughtfully.
"He is the grandest gentleman I have
ever seen, and as liberal as LI prince,"
said Norine, enthusiastically: "look at
thebill he geve Inc for shoeing his pony,"
and she held up before his startled vision
the fifty -dollar bank note.
The young man fairly gasped for
breath -gulped down a. strange, choking
sensation that rose up suddenly irt bis
throat, and cried, hoarsely:
"You should never have taken that for
shoeing las horse!" he cried. "You knotv
it was uot worth it, and he will think he
owns you, body and soul, for your ac-
beerting it."
A sudden rush of tetra's came swiftly
to the girl's eyes,
"Oh, Joe! -Joel" she sobbed, "you -
you 333£1k0 me`feel as though I were a
thief -taking -what was not mine. He
offered that much, tassel, I thought it

"If you will put it in the fire, I-1
will make that much money up to you

village post office at last, and you shall
have the first nueney I take in from
the place. A bill that he has carried
seems like a viper lying in your hands.
He is such a wicked man," '
"Why do you sety that when you do
not even know him?" flashed out Norine
angrily, her sweet young voice growing
strangely head and. cold.
"Beceuse I saw him shoot down in
cold, blood the mate to the horse he
brought in here, and the curses that fell
from his lips hoorified me, man thaugh
I am,"
Norine turned white' to the lips, but
she made him no anowee.
"Come," he said, "your grandporeats
sent me to look for you when you did
not come home as soon as they
thought you should. They will be wor-
rying every moment. Come, Noriue."
Without another word Norine put on
her cloak and hood, allowing big,
strong, faithful Joe, who was aIvenys
about when danger menaced her, to lift
her through the little narrow window.
"It is the wildest night eve have ever
had, Norine," he cried anxiously. "I will
beat down a path and you must follow
close in ray footsteps. Alt, but it is in-
tensely cold, and growing colder.
She was always so frolicsome, so mer-
ry, but tonight gay little Norine was
strangely quiet,
"aVas that a eigh from her lips," he
asked himself, stopping short and turn-
ing around anxiously. Then, forgetting
the rigid discipline he bad laid out for
himself to follow, he cried solicitously:
Are you weary, and very cold, Norine,
darling ?"
There was no answer, and with a
startled cry he turned and groped his
steps backward through the snowdrifts
and the rialdnighe darkness.
Yee, she had e, ak down, unconselous,
overeome by the exertion and the bit-
ter cold.
With a cry that welled up from the
very depths of his heart, he caught her
up in his strong orms and. strained her
to his breast, faltering hoarsely:
"a will save you, my little love whom

The skyscraper mechanic tells how
they see it everything is all built and
balanced to the fraction of a hair, and
this is not done entirely by high mathe-
matics, as some professors might sup-
pose. As it building goes up, one way of
telling if everything is solid and straight
Is to hang a big plumb bob, weighing a
hundred or so pounds, on it steel piano
wire, fastened to the top and dead cen-
tre of the building, a spot found by
crossing lines from the corners of the
building. Of course, the least give in
the foundation or fault in the steel
would show at once by the hanging
plumb bob getting off centre. -New York
