0400 or twice Macgregor met those
baleful looks with bright, defiant TO -

that bitter hate was there.
"How the widow and her adorer do
hate him, to .be surer' Gwendoline said,
"Tbey're in league to defeat bim,
know; but Pll lay my diamond ring
egainet your rosebuds, Sybil, that he
beats them both."
S'he danced over to the piano, rattled
off a spirited prelude, and sung in the
incest ringing, if not the sweetest of
yokes, Scotia; war -like balled, "The
3,daegregorie Gathering."
"'The Tnoou's on the lake, :tad the intst's

Colonel Gaunt looked up with a laugh.
"Do you hear that, Macgregor? By
Jovethat rings out as martial as a litt-
gle blast!"
"1 mark the king," was Magregor's re-
eporase, his face moving no more than
the marble Agememnoxt in the corner.
But he met Mrs. Ingram's eyes full,
with a strong, steady glance tfiat made
those velvet. orbs drop.
And Gwendoline sung on, while the
sensitive color flushed to Sybil's pale
cheeks at the were% and the stireing
air
" `Glenarchees proud mountains, COle/IRM

eethile there's leaves in the forest and

"The game is ours!" said the deep
voiee o Macgregor, as Gwendoline fin-
ished, and whirled round, on her stool.
"Thanks, Miss Chudleigh! 1 owe you
especial gratitude for that song. Of
course, you sung it for me alone?"
"Of course," said Gwendolino, coining
over; "and you have won, too. kltri.v
nice! It -brings my prediction true* at
once. "Macgregor, despite them, shall
flourieh forever!'"
She looked defiantly at the widow and
the dour dark gentleman frowning over
her shoulder. .
"No fairee Soul could be among the
prophets," Mr. alaegregor said, gallant-
ly, as the eard party dispersed; "and I
never heard you sing so well before."
"Her heart was in the theme," broke
i lithe widow'with a gay little laugh.
"`Gwendoline has been practicing that
delightful sono, with an assiduity that
was cruel, for the past week. 1 couldn't
understand. it before -I do now. Thanle
heaven!" with a coquettish shrug, "we
shall have a respite for the future."
"You will favor us with some music.,
Mrs. Ingram?" insinuated Colonel
Gaunt. "Half of 'Ours' are firm beiiev-
ers in sirens. and mermaids, and their
fatal power, ever since they have heard
you singe"
Mrs. Ingram eourtesied delightfully,
and moved away to the piano, her atnber
drapery trailing, her opals gleaming ill
the wax lights. She glanced over her
shoulder, with a meaning smile, to Mac-
gregor, as she swam away.
"You always turn in the right place,
Mr. Macgregor," she said. 'Tray cotne
and turn my music."
He looked surprised, but obeyed at
once his face very grave. The piano, es
ueual, was he a remote corner of the long
drawing -room, over so far removed trom
the vett of the apartment.
"You play from memory, don't you,
:qrs. Ingram?" be said, sarcastically;
"and 1 wil lturn your music, 1 suppose
'Maegregove Gathering' will do to turn
se well as anything else, while you sing
your Italian songs for the gallant colo-
nel?"
"Don't be sarettstic, Mr. .Alaegregor,

ture you were to slieW mee"'
She wae playing brilliantly, while she
spoke, the long, velevet eyes lifted up
to his face!,
"Oh, you know what 1 wean --the
'Rase Full of Thorme--that improper

ough to look like me."
"She did more than look like you"
with a grim 8tril1e. "It was you, Vitt•

it did not ofteu happen to the self-
possessed widow to change oolor, but the
chalky pallor that had overspread her
faee on the terrace, when promising
Colonel Trevanion to reveal the eeeret
Of Monkswood, showed ghastly again
under her rouge. But the neat fingers
atilt flew over the keys. although the
Week eyes looked up in the man's face,
wild with hidden terror -this man who
was her master.
"You eau prove nothing," she mid,
daringly default to the last, "Don't

ley has gone with his regiment to In-
dia. Major Powerscourt-bah! I am
not afraid of him. I may resemble this
very improper Rose Dawson of whom
you speak; but we flee aecidental re-
eemblance every day. 1 am Mrs. In-
gram, relict of Captain Ingram of the

en me, Mr, Angus Macgregor. 1 defy
you and La Prineesse both. If the

- go. Meantime, I am very comfortable
here, and I mean to stay."
And then this defiant little mouse
looked insolently up into the eyes of
the baffled lion, her daring smile at lie
; brightest.
, "I have never harmed you," she said,
gayly. "1 don't See what pleasure you
take in trying to hunt down one poor
. little harmiese woman. Whatever my

The smile was on her lips still, but
the great dark eyes looked up at him
full of piteoue appeal. She admired
this Angus Macgregor -strong, brave,
commanding -and she admired .him all
= the more that she was intensely afraid.
of him.
That luminous glance, the tender
smile, might have softened the :stony
heart of the bronze Jupiter near them;
but the stern face of Angus Macgregor
- never relaxed.
"Yon talk, and talk, and talk, Mrs.
Ingram," he said; "and you know your
talk is all empty words. You are in
my power -utterly and entirely. The
mercy you showed. Cyril Trevanion I
will show you. As you meted out, by
Heavent it shall be measured to you in

How dare you ever eat at the same tro

chance I offer you, and one alone. Leave
this place. within the week and never
return. I will not pursue you - nay.
I will give you money for the journey.
Leave England, and never return, and
you shall be spared!"
Mrs. Ingram laughed outright -laugh-
ed scornfully.
"Thanks, my friend; but if that is
your mercy, keep it. I will battle to the
last -1 will never go. The worst that
can befall me here is sot half so bad
as the vagabond life to which yoa would
condemn. me. I know what It means to

"Thee. you will stay to t'be denounced

Again the pretty widow laughed dis-

"You fight well, Mrs. Ingram," said
Macgregor, gravely, turning to leave
her; "you thrust and parry with womi- 0

"Great oaks from little acorns grow."
You remember that story Theekeray
tells in his "Vanity Fair," of the man
who went about with a pocketful of
acorns' and whenever he came to a
vacantinch of ground, pepped one In.
What tremendous big timbers his suc-
cessors meat have had. from sil those

seem to have little to do with this vera-
cious history, but Mr. Macgregor's valet
was the direct means of bringing about
a' rapid denouement.
Monsieur Francois, of coure, was a
Parisian, and an incongruous element in
that meager bachelor melange. But
then the tenant of the Ret,reett, had many
euch incongruities. Tie ,wore shabby
coats, and FAS, a;penny--liner by pro-

brie-a-brae'eollection would have made
glisten the 'eyes of the eonnoieseurs of

And Mr. Angus 'Maegyegor had picked
up Monsieur Francoie in Park rettun-
ing from Suabia, itt the "sell up" el a
great duke, whose valet he had been. He
had brought him direct from the most
delightful of earthly citiee and the very
best society, to bury him alive in eionles-
wood Waste. It was erne!. The selary
was high enough to make the accom-
plished Frenchman endure his living
death for awhile, but nature revolted at
last, and Monsieud Francois gave Mr.
Macgregor notice.
"For monsieur 1 would do all my
possible," said this gentleman, with calm
dignity; "but to bury alive, here' -'t�

LUNCHES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN
(Rochester Times.)
The trial which has been made of fur-
niehing lunches for children in certain ,
Rochester schools seems to prove eon-
ciuslvely the benefits of the experiment
and also that it should he extended to
other schools. At present sueh lunches
are furnished in three schools. Each
ehild pays a cent for his or her lunch.
The Board of Education furnisher, the
equipment for a. kitchen In each of the
nehOOIS where ouch lunches, are served.
The expense over the sum contributed by
the children, 10 met, In part, by the Col*
lege Women's Club.
It has been conclusively proven that
many of the children wbo come to Ro-
cherter schools are sutfering from mal-
nutrition and lack of nourishment. In-
veettgation allowed that many had for
their breakfast only a slice of baker's
bread and a cup of coffee or a glass of
beer. In such cases it Is no wonder
that these children were lacking in en-
ergy and ofteru seemed mentally dale -
lent. After the school lunches were in-
stituted a rapid improvement was noticed.
Children were stronger both mentally
, and physically. Better attention was
' Paid to studies. Children supposedly
bac:tient became well behaved. This is
not to be wondered at. A hungry chilt1
cermet devote his attention to his stnd-
les and his deportment will not be of the
best.

LEVEL CROSSINGS.
' (New York Herald.)
For years the continued exiotence of
etettne railway tracks oasesing through
the crowded weet elde streets Of 'Manhat-
tan at grade has boon a disgrace to the
• city. It has already cost :mores Of live.
It hinclera and hampers tratfie. Probably
in no other great Leedom eity would it be
permitted.
The Herald Was the first to'volee the
reasonable deniand for the removal of
the railway track' from the etreet sue -
fates. The agitation, bong continued,
has finally resulted in the plan tor a city -
owned elevated freight railway which will
no only abolish the existing evil, but will
provide a Muell needed Iliac of direct e0111-
mtmleation between the rallweys and the

next day, using the same level and rod,
and taking elevation from a benchmark
outside of the building, levels were run
over the Salne points, showing a maxi-
