CIIAPTEIt 11-CONTIiED.
It hat been arranged that on New
Year's eve a grand ball should he
given. The entertainment was ea'led '
a ball , but it was to comprise chara1e ,
music cards. and everything cl..t , that
was enjoyable. Lady Latimer and !
Colonel North had drawn out a In' o-
-
' gram that was most inviting ; to my
thinking they spent a great deal of
f time over it , but it was certainly a
success. I reniembee every detail of
1 that New Year's eye-how beautiful
i the frozen snow looked in the sunshine -
shine , how white and hard the ice was
how the scarlet berries of the holly-
t tree glowed , how the robin gad-breasts
flew. A beautiful New Year's eve , on
e , , which. I alone saw the shadow.
I confess , Lady Latimer looked lovely
enough that night to make any loan -
lose both heart and head. She had
chosen a costume worn generally by
those who represent Juliet on the
stage ; blue velvet over white satin ,
with what looked like a net work or
armor of pearls ; her white shoulders
and arms shone through the pearls ,
her face wore 'a dainty flush , her eyes
were blight.
I forgot all about myself ; my heart
was heavy over her. I could not divest -
vest myself of a fear , a foreboding
that something was to happen that
night. A presentiment of coming evil
seemed to weigh me clown. Captain
Fleming said to me more than once ,
"You look tired and ill , Miss Level ; "
1)Ut I could not answer him. I had no
heart-no heart.
t It did not surprise me that the Y
uaneed together , and more than one
remarked that they were the handsomest -
somest pair in the room ; nor was I
surprised that , instead of dancinn together -
l
gether a second time they went o
the conservatory- , nor when they
walked and down the
up picture-gal-
lery , nor when they paused for a few
moments under the mistletoe bough
I and I saw himn kiss her ; but I was sur-
prisect when I heard him say to her :
"You need have no fear ; I have
made every arrangement. The carriage -
, riage will be at the turn of the road I
i by two o'clock. All will be well. "
They neither saw nor heard me :
they were sitting behind a group of
white camellias , tall trees with glossy
leaves , and I was on the other side ,
hovering near her , always fearful ,
yet without knowing why. Lady Lati-
mer made some remark that I did not
hear. His answer was :
'Trust to me , my darling ; all will
' be well. "
I turned away sick at heart , and
from the depths of my soul I prayed
heaven to save her , for she was in
deadly peril.
Still the real significance or those
; - words did not occur to me. "The
carriage will be at the turn of the road
by two o'clock. " I thought it was
some arrangement about driving the
next day , and I said to myself , over
and over again , that I must do something -
thing to help her , something to save
her , or she would be lost. Little did
I dream , even then. of what that New
Year would bring forth.
i CIIAPTER 1.
I How , or how suddenly , I missed her , I
Icannot tell. Whenever Lady Lati- '
i Iner quitted a room she seemed to take
some of the brightness away with liner. ,
I mined the shining of the pearls and '
the light gleaming on the blue velvet.
How long she had been gone from the
r ball room I could not tell. None of
my family was there that evening.
NestYear's eve was a sacred festivity
at the vicarage. My father always
saw the old year die and the new year
born on his knees. There was no one j
to whom I could speak or tell my
fears.
fears.Where
Where was she-the beautiful , radiant -
diant , graceful woman who had given
light and brightness even to that i
bright room ? Not with Colonel North ,
that was one comfort , for ho stood at
the end of the ball room , talking b to I
I , some ladies : but whenI came to watch
his face , it was unlike itself , there was
a strange expression on it , as though
he were waiting , and waiting tm-
patiently. I saw restraint and constraint -
straint Upon face. My - fear ; „ grew.
I went to the conservatory , to the
picture gallery , to every place I had
last seen the jewels shine , but there '
was no trace of Lady Latimer. Then '
I I went back to the ball room and fount 1
that Colonel North i had gone , too.
I shall always think that that which
followed was an inspiration from
heaven. I looked at one of the jew- !
bled clocks that stood in time anteroom - I
room it bad turned half past one , and I
the words' spoken by Colonel . North
came plainly to me :
: .
W -
"The carriage will be at the turn of
the road by 2 o'clock. "
Oh , God ! did it mean that ? I stood
for a minute paralyzed ; my heart almost -
most ceased beating , the blood ran cold
in my veins , my limbs trembled. Could
it mean that ?
Quick as thought I went to Lady
Latimer's room. There was nothing
unusual at first sight , but when I
opened the wardrobe door , I saw the
blue velvet and pearls hastily thrust
aside. I knew--I knew she had gone
away with him , and had chosen the
night because they imagined during
the excitement they would not be
missed. 'J'wo ' o'clock , at the corner of
the road ! I knew the turning well ; a
great oak-tree stood there ; we had
often rested under its shade. Should
I have time to reach it and to save
her ? Quick as thought , I took a cloak
and hat from her wardrobe. 1 did not
stop to think ; I knew , in the confusion
no one would notice me or miss inc. I
flew down the great staircase , across
the entrance hall , meeting no one ;
then l reached the hall doorand stood
outsidetrying for one moment to think j
which was the nearest way. If I i
could only reach the corner of the
roa(1 before the carriage started , I was !
all right. I should save her , even if I
lost my life in doing it. If the carriage - I
riage was gone , then eternal shame
anti disgrace to the beautiful woman T I
loved. 'I'he moon rwa : ; shining , but
hot vely brightly , and the stars were
out ; the snow gleamed white and harden
on the ground , the tall trees , with
their bare branches , stood like giants.
I looked neither to the rinrb nor the
left ; I ran for dear life , praying ;
heaven , even as I ran , to save her- !
save ] let' from eternal sham and woe.
On , p 3t the Siliuing laurel , and the
tall fits ; on , past the frozen lake , past
the lime-trees , past the holly-bushes
gleaming crimson , past the tall larches
through which the winter wind moaned
and wailed ; hastening , despairing , crying -
ing to heaven to help me to save leer ; '
and then-oh , God he praised and
thanked-I ! saw them. 'T'hey had not
reached the park gates , and she was
saved ; for he should not take her away
unle.s he killed Inc first ; I would cling
to her-save her in some way. They
were walking quickly , but the n3xt
moment I was with them ; by her side.
I cried out her name , I lllmg my arms
around her. 'My darling , you must
not , \ ou shall not go ! "
and then I stood for one
moment breathless. Which should l
speak toVhat should I say ?
"I know , " I cried at last , "The
carriage is waiting at the turn of the
road , and you-oil , Colonel North ,
gentleman and soldier--you want to
take her away with you to eternal !
shame and eternal remorse ! You
shall not ! " !
"What , in heaven's name , brings
you here , Audrey Lowell" cried Colonel -
onel North.
And I answered , "Ileaven itself , to
save her from ruin and death. You
shall not take her away ; we are close
to the lodge gates , and if you try to
pass them and take her with you , I
will raise such an alarm that you will
be overtaken in five minutes , yand she
shall be dragged from you by force.
Gentleman and soldier ! Do you know
that you are a coward and thief in
stealing another man's wife ? "
1-Ie drew back. I went on :
"The wife of an old man , powerless
to avenge himself-a man who has
trusted you , whose bread you have
eaten , under whose roof von have
found hospitable shelter. And you
repay him by stealing his wife L Why
did you not steal that which he values
less-his gold or his jewels ? Oh ,
shame-bitter , endless shame on you ! "
And it seemed to me that the wind
took up the words and ra-echoed them
among the trees , "shame-bitter , endless -
less shame ! " I turned to the trembling -
bling girl.
"Come back with me , nay darling , "
I-said , "come back. It is only a bad ,
evil , black dream ; come hack with me ;
no one shall know. "
She hesitated , she half clung to him.
I saw him throw his arm around her ,
and I saw defiance in his face.
"Lady Latimer , " I said , "do you
know where those gates lead ? Look
at them , and know the road leading
from them is the path to hell. " A
low moan came from her lips.
"Think , " I said ; "it is not just now ,
while the glamour of love lies on you ;
it is not the present , it is the lon g
i
years of the future , when the b glamour
will fall from your eyes , and you will
remember nothing but the wickedness
of your sin.Vicked love never lasts
long , and the love of a man who
would brand you with endless shame
is wicked , weak and cruel. Think of I
the long years of shame and sorrow
and endless remorse : Comp back t
with inn , darling ! "
"You mean well , Miss Level , " said
Colonel North , "but if you have any
heart in your breast , you will not ask l
her to go back. I maintain that she
is not married-marriage means a i
union of hearts , it meals two souls
made one. "
"Marriage means the vows taken !
before God and man , which can never
be broken , " I cried.
"How can you ask her. " he continued -
ued , ' to go back to that loveless ,
cheerless , miserable life ? "
"It is her way to heaven , " I said.
"I will makea heaven on earth for !
her , " he cried. 1
"You cannot , " I answered ; andIf
you try' to do it , you will lose her both
worlds. Oh. my darling , come back
with me ! Never mind the misery. '
never mind the pain. It is all as
nothing compared to what you will
and must suffer if you go with him.
Come back , dear' . 1
Then she spoke to me.
"Audrey. let me go , " she said. "I
know it is all true , but-oh ! do not
away from me-I prefer to suffer
with ltim. I prefer sorrow and repentance -
pentance with him to , my gilded misery -
ery without him. Let' Ire go , dear ; I .
. H
_
.
could not live withouthim ; Ietme go. "
"Let her go , Miss Lovell , " : aid
Colonel North , in a tone of deen omo-
tion. "You mean well , you are very
good. But she could never be happy
there . "
again-never again.
"And hove him , Audrey : that shall
be my religion-love. You know
what I Ilavo missed in my life , and
now I have found it. I love him ; let
me go , Audrey ; love is best. "
"No , it is not ! " I cried-"it is not
best , not such love as this. Fear of
God and love of duty are best. Oh ,
Lady Latimer , you cannot pass those
gates , an angel bars the way ! "
"She shall go ! " said Colonel North ,
in a low , resolute voice. 'Unclasp
your arms , hiss Lovel. I have won
her by right of love ; she is mimic and
I shall take her ! "
I tightened my clasp on the trembling -
ling figure.
"She belongs to Lord Latimer , " I
said , "and while he lives no man shall
take her from him. "
She flung her arms round my neck ,
and cried to me :
"Let me go , Audrey : I cannot return -
turn ; let me ho with him-I love him
-I love him ! "
"No. " I answered ; "you are not
strong enough to save yourself , but I
ant strong enough to save you. Unless -
less you. ( 'olonel North , strike me
down dead , you shall not take her. "
"I ( lo not kill women , " said Colonel
North.
"You do worse , " I cried ; y nD l ruin
their souls. You preteni that you
love this poor child : i ou would lr
kinder far. braver far , if you plunged
a dagger in her heat , than take her
away with you. 't'he murder of the
body is little comam d to time mnurdr
of a foul. "
He started as though my words ha'l
shot him ; his hands fell from her. I
throw my arms round her and drew
her closer to me.
" 't'here is no time to lose , " I said.
"If you take one. you take both ; if
you take Lady Latimer. you take nee ;
I will not loose my ' hold on hem' until
she is safe from you. I repeat there
is no time to lose. You do not fear
my words : I shall give a cry that will
soon lril > g ] tell to us. "
"No , no ! " he cried , hastily' .
But I did. I wonder now that I had
the nerve. I gave a long , low cry ,
and the next minute we saws a light in
one of the windows of the lodge.
"Look , " I said , "we shall have help
soon. "
"Go. Philip , " said Lady Latimer ;
"go. there is ! lo help for us. "
"I Could curse you for your cruel
work ! " he said.
"You will IIeSS me some time , " I
answered.
"Let me say good-bye to you Philip , "
cried lady Latimer , and her voice
was full of anguish. "Ail , my love.
my love , found so late and lost for-
ever' "
"One word , ( 'olonel North , " I said.
"I will keep yolr secret , but it must
be on my own terms. You must leave
the house to-morrow morning under
the pretext that you have received a
telegram , and you must swear to me
that you will never return. If von do
so. I shall at once tell Lord Latimer
all that has passed. "
lie bowed ; he could not speak ; and
as he turned away from me I saw the
teals rain down his face. Thou we
had to draw back and stand in silence
under the clack shade of the trees , for
the lodge-keeper came out , lantern in
hand , followed by his wife.
"I am sure I heard voices , " he said.
"I am sure I heard "
a cry , she re-
plied.
They looked about for some time ,
then went in-doors again.
I could not help his turning back and
taking Lady Latimer in his arms again.
One quick , passionate embrace and
he was gone. I led her home. She
did not weep , but from her lips came
a low , soft moan.
Never mind if she died of it ; I had
saved her from worse than death.
We spoke no word until we reached
the house. I knew we must run some
risk.

Vintage of Last Year in France.
It was not to be expected that the
French vineyards would yield as rich a
harvest in 180.1 as they had done in
1893-a year as remarkable for the
quality as for the quantity of the wine
made , especially in the Bordeaux , Bur-
gumidy and Champaign districts , where
one gallon is of more value than ten
grown in other parts of the eovntry.
But though the official returns just
published show that the quantity of
wine made during 1594 in France and
Algeria was about 300,000,000 gallons
less than in 1593 , the total of 900,000-
000 indicates a very marked increase
upon the average of the previous ten
years. The increase extends to nearly
all time departments of France in which
wine is grown , thought here and there
are to be found districts which have not
shared in the general improvement ,
and in which , it is safe to assume , the
yhylloxera gastatrix , arc still un-
curbed.-Loudon News.

The Indian Gaines.
The editor of Farm Poultry believes
that the Indian Game , with the same
care and attention , is just as haply a
fowl as a Plymouth Pock or Wyandotte
could be , and more hardy than any
other variety of games. lie says : Our
experience with the game family generally -
erally has been that they very readily
caught colds , and were easy prey to
roap. What little experience , however ,
we have had with time Indian variety
has been to their credit in this particu-
lar. But , like all breeds , they must
be properly cared for , or they will not
remain in a healthy state. As layers
they cannot , as a rule , equal the American -

which his salary does not begin to cover

to church in the last year's bonnet and
cloak of the deacon's Wife. The poor
lady has grown used to this and does
the best she can with the conglomeration -
tion of dresses , cloaks and hats which
are sent her , though the result is sometimes -
times rather tragic. however , she has
always felt that she did nobly by the
children , and if the dresses and coats
and cloaks and trowsers were misfits
none were even unkind enoughu to say
anything about it. One Sunday , However -
ever , she dressed the nine hopefuls with
great care and marched them into to
the church. She was a little ] ate , and
just as she opened the door and started
up the aisle her husband thundered
from the pulpit , "Even Solomen in all
