Mondevillo i-anit' down from town with a half dozen servants at her back, and pretty llerthu Mondeville. her very re luct ant companion. Pertha was the lady's youngest daugh ter, and, be.-i Ie.; the generous portion of M -mdeville property h'.stin'd to fall to her share, had good prospects of an in heritance from a. certain wizened, eccen tric woman who had stood godmother to her at her christening, eighteen years U fore. With such expectations, and possessed A natural attractions which drew hosts 3f sighing lovers to her feet, it was cer tainly reprehensible in her to give pref erence to one far beneath her in the so cial scale. At least so reasoned her lady in 'tllier. But Mertha was wilful, and lu-ti.enial restrictions went for naught. S'.:e had given lu-r heart and promised i. i. r hand to Henry Dernard, the strug gling artist. vh: as yet was quite un iwiuwn to both f:i:::e and fortune. lie was sanguine, tliough. and Uertha no lc;--s so.

So iiit-KT they had come, fast upon the track of tho courteous little nota of warr.irg th::t aimo-inced th-'-m. The hall had been put iu hurried order f' .r 1h'j reception cf the ladies. The rem aaat f plate were duly jxdished; the t'r.:y'.-d damask a::d fine linen (evidences ; f decaying gentility) taken from the :v.rs.

Not that either re formed, even temporarily, but the hall could no longer bo throws open to boom comrades and nightly orgies. They clung to their customary habits, but un used to the trouble of concealment, chafed against the bondage which com mon courtesy imposed upon them. This state of things did not continue long, however. Bertha's cheery young presence brought a flood of sunshine into the dreary old house, such as it had not known for years. The grim, dark rooms held attraction for their inmates which they had not hitherto possessed. Certainly, in removing her slaughter iroui the influence of one lover, Mrs. iloiideville had not meant to subject irr to the importunities of two. Carl yon, drawn perhaps by visions of the ample dowry destined for, and Ralph bias as he was actually touched with ?n approximation to noble sentiment, were both soon numbered among her dev otees. Bertha's position was becoming ex tremely unpleasant. A note smuggled out u." i.i.o the watchfulness of the maid lii.'ught no response from Henry Eer nard Her m other remained unmoved by her urgent entreaties for a speedy returii. and meantime the two Carl yon ore-ed their individual suits with per sist, 'lit ardor. llalp. impulsive and passionate, could wait to take no politic moves in pro:e cr.tiug hi.s wooing. His very cam-st nes would have pleaded powerfully for him had ia.t the giri'.s heart a-id mm 1 been filled w.th other k.ve and oih-.-r thoughts.

"1 .shall not jfivo yon neverth" less," be said, with qr.iet intensity. "(Jive l.io a little hope and an epi:d cha::ee, ai'd I will try for your love by fair me.-i'i.-: but by measures foul or fair, no other man shall ever ever take you from me!" With that he returned, leaving her ab ruptly as he had come, and his ijuick steps gave back a sharp ring from the paved walk without. At a little dis tance he encountered the elder Carlyon, who accosted him, timing his leisurely pace to the other's hasty strides. "Easy, my son! I have some-information w hich it may be best to impart at once. I happened to overhear your con versation of a moment ago by the way, you should never make love near open windows and atu gratified to know that Dertha holds such an important place iu your estimation." "Ah!" Ralph waited, knowing that something more lay behind that suave address. "Yes, but I must warn you against your own impetuous nature, which may lead you to extremes. As she said, it i.s quite impossible for her to regard your suit with favor." "May I ask why?" "Simply because I intend to marry her myself!" "By heaven, j-ou shall not!" The elder Carlyon drooped his eyelids, a trick of his wdien angered. "Did you ever know mo to relinquish a purpose'r" "Or mo to fail in making good my words? I would kill any man ere he should thwart me or brave me by flaunt ing her preference." Each read indomitable resolution in t he other's face. The gauntlet was cast between them, and hereafter only bitter enmity could mark their mutual rela tion. A week wore heavily away. Then Ralph disappeared, vrent no one knew whither, and Bertha awoke to a con : -cionsness that .she v.-::;; no better than a j.-.-i-;o:.u-i:i the old i.;-.:i. The maid had Loe:i bribed to co-operate with the elder Carlyon, and he himself announced his purpore with a quiet steadiness of man ner which would admit of no gainsaying. With his ruthless wiil crushing down till obstacles in his way, and no com munication with her friends permitted, save such as he dictated, Bertha felt that her opposition must give way before the cruel forces he brought to bear upon her. At last he gained his purpose. How iie accomplished it himself and the maid best knew. But the clergyman was waiting at the church, and Bertha, worn to a shadow of her former cheery s elf, with her face scarce loss white than the bridal robes she wore, went trem blingly down the worm eaten stairs to go and be wedded to the man she both lialed and feared. Carlyon met her with a triumphant smile upon his face, lave the words of gralulation he wa? about to oiixr never left his hps. A ma:i,with haggard face, bloodless tips drawn away from his gli: It-ring teeth, arel. dishevelled hair tr. ;:ming abi.ut his neck, rushed up th( Ivj;gth of the passage and grappied wiih him. It was Ralph, who had been confined all ibis time in one of thevan.lt like cellars beneath the old hall, and had escaped now to wreak insane fury upon his jeal ous jailer. There was an inherent mnd uesej iu the Carlyon blood, and these weeks of solitude and mental torture had brought the curse upon the younger man. A struggle ensued that was fearful to witness. Bertha crouched upon the stairs, with rigid, blanched face, and eyes never wavering from the horrible spectacle. ..Servants ran screaming, all was chaos for a moment, and then awful quietude fell upon the hall. r . - There was a crushed, bleeding, sense less mass upon the floor; and the mad man, his rage-appeased, unresistingly submitted to the Ixmds which were placed upcu him. The elder Carlyon went to answer for his sins before an eternal tribunal: lr-s ton drags out a liv ing death in a lunatic asylum. But Bertha, sorely tried, found peace at last . Shocked beyond measure by the frightful tragedy "which had been en acted, and appalled by the peril her daughter had passed, Mrs. Mondeville recalled Henry Bernard from the fruit less quest he was pursuing. It is need less to s-.iy that Bertha's letter never reached him. and that Mrs. Mondeville had sent him as fat as possible from the actual track." But the young people 'could freely forgive all past injuries in the happiness which was theirs at last. New Y'ork World. Well to Kiiow.
