"Lady Latimer , " I said , "you have

Every moment has its duty ,
Who the future can foretell ?
Then wily defer to niorrow
What to-day can do as well ? "
I' ' Quickly as loving , trembling hands
COU1l work , I took from her the black
. drcs , the cloak and bonnet in which
she was going to travel. I put them
' . . out of sight , and then I brought back
r. the 1)1UO velvet and pearls. She cried
. out at the sight of it , aud waved it
I. . from her.
.t ' You must put.it on , " I said.
. "I cannot , " she reulied.1 would
- rather wear a shroud"
'You must , " I said. "You must
put it on. You must color your face
and brighten your hair. You must
come down stairs and show yourself
I the ball room. Remember that you
have yourself to save. "
"I-i can not , " she cried in despairing -
spairing tones.
You must , " I repeated. "You
' 1 must do it to save yourself , even
. . .8houId you die directly afterward. "
' . . . I , My strong will beat down her
veaker one. I dressed her. I tried
1-ny best , to make her look as she had
.
I hOne before , but it was as though I
had ti'ied to dress a dead woman.
,
, , 'Then I fetched some brandy for her ,
I and made her drink it.
A faint tinge of color came to her
h1)S. She looked at me once with
vi1d eyes.
. I. "I hate you ! " she said ; and the
WOrdS were like a hiss.
'Never mind , " I answered , "if you
t can only save yourself. "
I found her a large bouquet of fresh
. flowers. and told her to hold. it before
her face when she passed through the
ball-roem , so as to hide her colorless
face. She did so ; but when the time
came for her to return to the ballroom -
room she could not walk.
'You must absolutely go , " I said.
"It is the only means of saving your-
self. If ever the incidents of this
.
night should be known , no one will
believe one word if you are seen in
the ball-room. You iutst go. "
I '
She went , leaning on my arm. I
; shall never forget the ordeal. She
b .clitcicd nry arm. I felt how she
. ! trembled. I feared , if anyone spoke
to her , that she weald suddenly
cohlapse and fall on the ground : She
would have done so , but , fortunately ,
one came near is.
I
; CHAPTER xr.
We walked slowly through the ball-
t room twice. I led her. as though she
were blind and dumb , through the
conscrvatory and the picture-gallery ;
I was determined that every visitor
J should see her. If by any mischance
it was rumored that she was seen in
I
the park alter I o'clock at night , a
hundred voices would be raised in
contraiiction , for a hundred people
t.ud more saw her in her own house.
It was a ghostly walk. More than
oiicel thought she would fall from my
arm dead , but at last I placed her
safely in her own room again , and
flr for her maid.
. "Lady Latimer is tired out , " Isaid ;
: "she is comiletely exhausted. Get
something for her and let her go to
rest. "
The maid loOked frightened at the
. white , sot face.
"You look very ill , my lady , " she
1 afd ; but the woful eyes that looked
I : into hers had no CXtCSSiOfl in them.
I went back to the visitors , and to
. ilI whom it concerned I made apolo-
I ' . gieS and excuses for Lady Latimer. I
1 told them she wa exhausted and worn
-out , and that I l1ad persuaded her to
' rest. No one seemed surprised , and
-then 1 felt that the crisis was over.
. She was saved.
. "You look tired yourself , Miss
. " . ' 'And
- . Level , said Captain Fleming.
. . 'what laCl news this is about Colonel
North. "
North.That is it ? " I askcd , trying to
i pcak carelessly , but with great
' . alarm.
"lIe has to leave suddenly and
c i early to-morrow morning. He received
this afternoon , but did not
a tclgram
i , ivish to tell us the news until the ball
. was over. WO shalL miss hirn very
d much.
,
t "We shall , indeed , " I answered ,
. mechanically.
"He is in the smoking-room ; he has
. t spcnt. the greater part of the night
. There. Would you liketo see him and
' ' ; ay good-bye to him , Miss Level ? "
. I shuddered. Please : heaven , I
4 Ls1iilii never look on his..face again. II
,

' . . :
made seine evasive answer. He
looked hurt.
"I thought , " ho said , "that you
liked Colonel North so much. Lady
Latlinor (1005. 1 believe he is the a-
vored guest. "
"What time does ho leave in the
mornhllg" I asked , for the sake of
showing some interest in him.
"Quito early , " ho replied. "lie
has to he at the Royal horse guards by
noon. "
"lie will come back , I hope. " I
knew he would not.
I understood why he had returned
to the house , and Jiad gone to the
smoking-room where most of the
guests could see liim Then , when
tile visitors wore all gone , I went back
to Lady Latimer's room. I found her
very ill. I told the maid that I would
sit with her and read her to sleep.
"I do not like my lady's. oo1cs at
all , Miss Level , " said the maid. "I
am afraid that she has overdone her-
self. I should not wonder if shehas a
bad illness. "
I sat with her tl1e night through.
She did not speak to inc. She hiarilly
seemed to know that I was present.
She wept and moaned through the
night in such a heart-breaking fashion
it made me ill to listen.
She did not hear , poor child. what
I heard-the quick galloping of a horse
in the early morning. When it ceased
I knew that Colonel North had gone.
She was worse in the morning ;
brain fever set in ; the doctor was sent
for hurriedly. The visitors disap-
peared.
Lord Latimer was frightened to
death.
"Brain fever , " he Sai(1. ' 'Why.
brain fever only comes to those who
have great trouble , and she has none
in tlfe world , absolutely none. "
. The doctoi's opinion was that Lady
Latimer had overtircd herself with the
Christmas festivities.
"Sime had. Colonel North to help
her , " said Lord Latimer ; "I don't see
how she can have done too much. "
But there was no gainsaying the
fact. She was ill for a long time , and
I was her faithful , loving nurse ; but
the name of Colonel North was never
mentioned between us from that night.
It was New Year's eve when Lady
Latirner fell ill , and time violets were
in bloom before she was able to leave
the house again.
"I want to go away from here.
Audrey , " she said to me one day. "I
want to go out-of-doors. and I cannot
here ; I cannot endure the sight of this
place , and the sound of the river
makes me ill. "
"I understood , after that scene in
the park ; it was no wonder that she
could not endure it.
I spoke to Lord Latimer. and he
seemed pleased that she should have
a change. We went to Brighton. I
thought the life and brightness of that
sunny watering-place would be good
for her. I might as well have brought
a dead body to time seaside.
Once , and once only , terrible energy -
gy came to her. I was sitting on the
cliff overlooking the sea , and she came
to me suddenly. holding an open newspaper -
paper inher hands.
"I have been looking for you , " she
said. "I want you to read this ; it is
3ol11' fault. "
I took the paper from her hands and
read that war had broken out at the
cape , and among others who l1ad cx-
changed to be sent out there was that
well-known and highly esteemed officer -
ficer , Colonel North.
"That is your fault , " she said.
"Do you see the honorable mention
of him as a brave soldier and a noble
man P"
"Yes , I do , " she answered.
"You may thank inc for that , " I
said. "I saved him tis well as you.
English officers are mnemi 9f honor , and
ifCo1onel North had stolen the wife of
his friend , they would not have asso-
elated with him. "
Her face flushed and her head
drooped.
"I wish , " said she , "that I could
fall from the cliff here into time sea. "
Decidedlyin those days , she was not
the most pleasant companion in the
world ; but I knew th&gnawing misery.
"I wish , " she said to me one day ,
"that Lord Latirner woukl leave Lqr-
ton's Cray. I shall never like the
place again. "
Captain Fleming came once or
twice , but lie did notremain long. He
told me that he had never seen any
one so changed as Lady Latimner.
' 'When I think of her leading the
cotillon on New Yeais eve. in that
wonderful dress of blue velvet and
pearls , and then look at her asshe is
now , I cannot believe she i the same
woman , " he said.
It required a great calamity to
arouse her , and , surely enough , one
came. It was the month of August ,
two years and a half after that tern-
ble New Year's eve , and I was sitting
out among the roses making some lace
for her. I saw her coming toward me
with a terrible look on her face. I
was almost frightened. She wore a
longwhite dress ; her hair was unfastened -
fastened , her face white as death ; her
eyes had an expression I shall never
forget. She held otit a newspaper to I
mc. .
"Look , " she said , "and read.
Heaven has punished me. "
I .looked. In the list of those killed
at Isanthila was the name of Colonel
Philip North. . . ,
"You see it. " she said slowly. " .
"Yes. I see it. , Lady Latimer. '
"It was you whb sent . him to his
death. " .
"Better the death of a good man
than time life of a coward , " I answered.
"He has died , ' she saidsiowly , "be-
cause he lOv3d me. "
"No ; that is wrong ; he hasdied a
soldier's death , . and you may be proud
of him. You can love him in death ,
whereas you could not in life. You
may be proud oLhim- now hd has redeemed -
deemed by a he'o's d ath. . what was a
covrd's rime. " . . . . . . .

I She cried out that I was hard and
cruel ; she wept as Ihiavo never seen a
woman. weep before.
"I u1d go all the way to Isan-
dula , " she said , "to kise his face just
I OflCC before they lay himninhisgravQ. "
t She was like a woman stricken with
t
death.
Captain Fleming came down in the
same sunny month of August , and he
talked for hours about one who had
been the hero of time fight. He told a
hunarcd anecdotes of Colonel North ,
of his courage , his bravery , hiis kindness -
ness ; how he was beloved by his friends ,
worshipped by the soldiers ; how he
was always ready with kindly words
and generous help.
She listened with a white , set face ;
and spoke no word.
"I do not believe , " said Captain
I Fleming , "that he had a blot in his
I life. "
But we two women , who knew
what a dark and terrible blot there
had been , said nothing.
Lady Latimer was like a woman
turned into stone.
Another great event happened in
that month of August.
Lord Latimer died quite suddenly.
He had been unusually irritable , and
complained of not being well , but
no one suspected that he was worse
than usual. His valet , going to wake
him one morning , found hhn dead in
his bed , and time ( lOCtor said he had
been dead some hours. There was no
need for any inquest ; he had died
from heart disease from which ho had
suffered many years.
It was a terrible blow to Lady Lati-
men ; not that she loved him but that
it brought her sin and her sorrow so
forcibly to her mind.
"How strange it seems that he
should have died first. " she said to inc
one day. "Oh , Audrey , " God. has
pitimislied my sin. "
Then Lionel Fleming became Lord
Latimner , and master of Lorton's Cray.
The old lord had left his wife a large
fortune.
"I shall sper'd it all in charity she
said to me. ' 'There is but one interest ,
one pleasure in life left , and that is
doing good to others. "
And it was perfectly true. If ever
any woman tried to make up for a sin
by charity amid good deeds , Lady Lati-
men did.
The new Lord Latimer begged of us
to remain at r4ortoifs Cray for seine few
months. He did not want to take pos-
ession until the spring of. the year ,
and lie prayed us to remain there
Lady Latimer consented , and we lived
there in peace and seclusion until the
Christmas snow was on time ground
again and the New Year coming round.

LIVING IN A CHURCH.
A United States Senator Occupies One
nq a imosicionco.
An ox-senator of the United States
lives in a church in Washington , and
seems to like it. Time peculiar thing
about it is that the church in question
is still in a condition which would permit -
mit of the words of truth being uttered -
tered every Sunday from the sacred
desk , and that time ex-senator is one of
the wealthiest men in Washington ,
and could afford to dwell in the finest
mansion in the city , with all the refinements -
finements of civilization. Everybody
knows time picturesque and vine-clad
little church on Massachusetts avenue ,
at the intersection of Eighteenth and
P streets. Ex-Senator Van Wyck , his
wife amid young daughter have made it
their home.
Miss. Van Wryck owns the property ,
it having been bought by her husband
and presented to her as a little after-
dinner favor the day they were leaving -
ing Washington for Nebraska , at tl e
conclusion of the latter's senatorial
career. It hasbeen time scene of High
Church Episcopal and Swedenborgian
services , but lately has been idle.
When Mr. and Mrs. Van Wyck came
here to attend to repairs then in pro-
gros. upon their own property , the
former suggested that they camp out
in their empty church. Mr. Van
Wyck has a horror of mounting steps ,
and thought it would be a great scheme
to live on the ground floor. So they
moved to the church and divided off
the auditorium by imaginary lines
into a parlor , bd rooms , dining room
and picture gallery. The pictures
they had stored away heie in plenty ,
and a shopping expedition quickly provided -
vided time necessary furniture. The
vestry was turned into a kitchen , and
time shining pipes of the organ and
the decoration of the chancel helped
out the art gallery. Rugs , lanmps.
small tables , easy chairs and sofas dot
the space all around. and papers and
books are in profusion.
With plenty of servants and every
comfort possible , thehouseho1d spends
the days very enjoyably in its imo vol
quarters.
I'Iey in I'ractice.
An American hostess who wished
to make the best impression on an
English lord instructed her old negro
butler to address their guest without
fail by his proper title. Uncle Josh ,
the butler , had never heard of any
lord save his Creator , and the lady's
feelings can better be imagined than
described when she heard Uncle Josh
say. "My God ! Have a biscuit ? "
The above deity proved to be a per-
feet fraud , and when Uncle Josh was
told that his master had lost considerable -
able through himhe was heard to say ,
"That's wimat they gits for followin'
after strange , gods.Truth. .

t but two letters In reference to the

1 last respectively. The first letter recites -
cites the efforts made to have the dispute -
pute settled by arbItration and Eng-
land's gradually widening claims to territory -
ritory and concludes with time opinion
there are but two solutions of the ques-
tion-arbitratloim or the creation of a
non boundary line "In accordance with
the dictates of expediency and consider-
ation. " The second letter is a reference
to Brltain's.contentlon that the validity

FIGHTING FOR THE OFFICES.
Gw. Mosioy of the Chlckasnw Nation

St. Louis , Mo. , April 18.-A special
fromn-Ardmore , I. T. , says : 'One hundred -
dred armed men are reported near Tish-
onmingo. the Chickasaw capital. Gov.
Moscly notified all sheriffs , constables
and deputies to report at once to him
for active duty. His intention is to disband -
band the faction which is composed of
Charles and Willis Brown arid Noah
McMill as ieadnrs , and theIr followers.
They claim to have been duly amid
legally' elected as sheriffs for the Chick-
asav country. Time legislature , however -
ever , ignored their claims , and other
oflicers were installed. This faction
hOlda that the legislature had no auth-
onity to interfere , hence their deter-
nlned effort to install themselves.
Bloodshed cannot be avoided. "
HEARING IOWA LAND CASES.
S3ttlers oil Sioux City Railroad Grant
Claim Title Through Forfeiture.
Washington , April 18.-The United
States Supreme court is hearing arguments -
ments in three cases to which various
settlers in Iowa , on the Chicago , Mu-
waukee & St. Paul Railroad companies'
lines , are parties. The cases involve
the ownership of about 22,000 acres of
land along the lines of these roads ,
which theSioux City company claims
was granted to it by the government
of the United States In 1864. It Is
claimed on the part of the settlers that
the railroad company failed to earn the
land by a failure to build part of its
line within the time specified in the
act. The lands have all been settled
and improved , and are considered valu-
able.
Trust flelinerles Resume Work.
Philadelphia , Pa. , April 18.-Spreckels'
sugar refinery , which has been closed
for about two weeks by order of the
sugar trust , has started up again. The
resumption is looked upon as perma-
mient. Time plant is running on nearly
full time , but with a reduced force. The
refinery at Williamsburg , N. Y. . which
was closed by the trust at the same
time , has also resumedwork. The Mc-
Cahan refinery , which is not controlled
by the trust. is running full tlnme.
Wisconsin Arbitration Bill Passes.
Madison , Wis. , April 17.-The senate
passed the O'Neill arbitration bill ,
which has passed the assembly. The
bill provides for the settlement of labor
.disputes by a commission of three , who
shall each receive $5 a day and expenses -
ses while actually engaged in their
duties. They are not given the power
to enforce their decisions. The law Is
in many respects similar to that in
operation in Massachusetts. An assembly -
bly bill providing for licensing street
car companies was concurred in by the
senate. It provides that a license oC 1
per cent on the gross receipts up to
$250,000 be charged ; above that 1'L per
cent until the $5OOOfO mark is reached ,
when 2 per cent shall be charged. This
license fee is to be paid in lieu of other
taxes.

there is a bridge or tollgate , the notices
there posted state that the oflicials in
charge will not have to pay anything
when they go across. I hare seen.a .
bridge with a special tariff for each an-
imal-so much for a horse to cross , so
much for a goose or turkey ! Level
crossings on the railways are very corn-
men , but not very dangerous , owing to
the pace of the foreign train. However ,
when an official is kept all day to let
down the barrier and keep people back
it is also thought necessary to put uo
an enormous cast iron notice requesting -
ing time public to "halt at time shut bar-
nor. " it is diflicult to pass such a coni-
bination of obstruction , but one can dose
so by jumping over time barrier-a feat
which causes as much surprise as if one
were to walk on on&s head in Eng-
land. Not much is expected of the
German traveler in the way of agility ;
he is warned in tte trains that he
"jumps off and on at his own peril ; "
another characteristic notice which
they contain is therequest "not to spit ,
out of consideration for fellow tray-
dens. "
The pathway of the reformer is generally
all up lull. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It is right to fast , but it is wrong to look
lean.

Is such a trial that muien say , " Let the

SCIClItiOUS wife feels boUnd to risk health
mind strength in this annual struggle with
dust and dirt. The consequence of her
feverish anxiety over extra work is de-
pletioxi of the blood , the source of
all life nuiih strength , manifested in that
weak , tired , nervous cotidition too ptc
alent at ; this seasoim amid very dangerous

A Good Law.
There is a hitw in France in which
the various ! orrns of unsoundness to
which the horse is subject are de-
scnibed , and mvitieh further providc3
that a purchaser of a horse has nine ' 4'
days in which to return him to the
seller should ho be found to be suffer- .
11mg from anyof the forms of unsoundness - '
ness specified. Such a law in thiscoun- :
try would do much to protect buyet.s ,
and it would also be welcome to the reputable - -
putable men who are engaged in selling - .
ing horses. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ j- , :
