••The carriage will be at the torn of
the road by 2 o’clock."
Oh, God! did it mean that? I stood
for a minute paralyzed; my heart al
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. Two o'clock, at the corner of
the road! I know the turning well; a
groat 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. I did not
stop to think; I knew, in the confusion
no one would notice mo or miss me. I
flew down the great staircase, across
the entrance hull, meeting1 no one;
then I reached the hall door, and stood
outside,trying for one momont to think
which was the nearest way. If I
could only roach the corner of tho
road before the carriage started, I was
all right. I should save her, even if I
lost my life in doing it. If the car
riage was gone, then eternal shame
and disgrace to tho beautiful woman 1
loved. Tho moon was shining, but \
not very brightly, and the stars wore j
out; the snow gleamed white and hard
on the ground, tho tall trees, with j
their bara branches, stood like giants.
I looked neither to the right nor tho
left; I ran for dear life, praying I
heaven, even as I ran, to save her— i
save her from eternal shame and woo.
On, past tho shining laurels and tho
tall iirs; on, past the frozen lake, past
tho lime-trees, past tho holly-bushes
gleaming crimson, past tho tall larches j
through which the winter wind moaned |
and wailed; hastening, despairing,cry- j
ing to heaven to help me to save her;
and then—oh, God l)e praised and
thanked!—I saw them. They had not
reached the park gates, and she was
saved; for he should not take her away
unless he killed me first; I would cling
to her—save her in some way. They
were walking quickly, but the next
moment I was with them, by her side.
I cried out her name, I flung my arms
around her. “My darling, you must
not, you shall not go!”
and then I stood for one
moment breathless. Which should 1
speak to? What should I soy?
“I knew,” I cried at last. “The
carriage is waiting at the turn of the
road, and you—oh, 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 Level?” cried Col
onel North.
And I answered, “Heaven 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, and 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?”
He 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 you have
found hospitable shelter. * And you
repay him by stealing his wife! 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 re-echoed them
among the trees, “shame—bitter, end
less shame!” I turned to the trem
bling girl.
“Come back with me, my darling*,” j
I said, “come back. It is only a bad,
evil, black dream; come back 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,11 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; i
it is not the present, it is the Ion g
years of the future, when the glamour
will fall from your eyes, and you will
remember nothing but the wickedness
of your sin. Wicked love never lasts
long, and the love of a man who
would brand you with endless shame
is wicked, weak and cruel. Think of
the long years of shame and sorrow
and endless remorse! Come back
with me, darling”’
“You mean well, Miss Lovel,” said
Colonel North, “but if you have any
heart in jour breast, you will not ask
her to go back. I maintain that she
is not married —marriage means a ■
union of hearts, it means two souls
made one.”
“Marriage moans the vows taken
before God and man. which can never
be broken,” I cried.
“How can you ask her,” he contin
ued, *‘to go back to that loveless,
cheerless, miserable life?”
“It is her way to heaven,” I said.
••I will make a heaven on earth for ;
her,” he cried. !
“You cannot." I answered; “and if I
you try to do it, j-ou will lose her both ■
worlds. Oh. my darling, come back
with me! Never mind the miserj-, j
never mind the pain. It is all as i
nothing compared to what you will ;
and must suffer if you go with him. I
Come back. dear.
Then she spoke to mo. i
“Audrey, let me go,” she said. “I
know it is all true, but—oh! do not
turn away from me—I prefer to suffer
with him. I prefer sorrow and re
pentance with him to my gilded mis
cry without him. Lot no go, dear; I
>' t . , , 1 - - -
oould not live without him; let mo go*
"Let her go, Miss Lovell," said
Colonel North, in a tone of deen emo
tion, "You mean well,, you are very
good. But she oould never be happy
there again—never again."
“And Hove him, Audrey; that shall
be my religion—love. You know
what I have 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 aro best. Oh,
Lady Latimer, you cannot pass thoso
gates, an angel bars tho way!”
“She shall go!” said Colonel North,
in a low, resolute voice, “Unelasp
your arms. Miss Lovel. I have won
her by right of lovo; she is mine and
I shall take her!”
I tightened my clasp on the tremb
ling figure.
‘•Mio 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 tome:
“Let me go, Audrey; I cannot re
turn; lot me go with him-—I love him
—I love him!”
“No,” I answered; “you are not
strong enough to save yourself, but I
am strong enough to savo you. Un
less you, Colonel North, strike mo
down dead, you shall not take her.”
“I do not kill woman,” said Colonel
North.
“You do worso,” 1 cried; “you ruin
their souls. You protend that you
love this poor child; you would be
kinder far, braver far, if you plunged
a dagger in her heart, than tako her
away with you. The murder of the
body i3 little compared to the murder
of a Foul.”
He started as though my words had
shot him: Ilia hands fell from her. I
threw my arms round her and drew
her closer to me.
“There is no lime ft> lose,” I said.
“If you tako one. you take both; if
you take Lady Latimer, you take mo;
I will not loose my hold on her 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 bring help 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 saw a light in
one of the windows of the lodge"!
“Look,” I said, “we shall have help
soon.” r
“Go, Philip,” said Lady Latimer;
“go. there is no help for us.”
“I could curse you for your cruel
work!” he said.
“You will bless me some time,” I
answered.
“Let me say good-bye to you Philip.”
cried Lady Latimer, and her voice
was full of anguish. “Ah. my love,
my love, found so late and lost for
ever!”
“One word. Colonel North,” I said.
“I will keep your 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 you do
so. I shall at once tell Lord Latimer
all that has passed.”
He bowed; he could not speak; and
as he turned away from me I saw the
tears rain down his face. Then we
had to draw back and stand in silence
under the dark 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
ho 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.

water by “star-shine.” Pliney say*
that the diamond is the hardest a*

Booetius declares that the “ruby is a
sovereign remedy against the plague

evil spirits and bad dreams.” Serapius
ascribes to the diamond the power of
healing various eruptive diseases, and
also says that it insures the safety of

It was Dot to be expected that the
French vineyards would yield as rich a
harvest in 1804 as they had done in
1803—a year as remarkable for the
quality as for the quantity of the wine
made, especially in the Hordeaux, Hur
(fundy and Champaign districts, where
one gallon is of more value than ten
grown, in other parts of the covntry.
liut though the official returns just
published show that the quantity of
wine made during 1804 in France and
Algeria was about 300,000,000 gallons
less than in 1803, the total of 000,000,
000 indicates a very marked Increase
upon the average of the previous ten
years. The increase extends to nearly
all the departments of France in which
wine is grown, though hero and there
are to be found districts which huve not
shared in the general improvement,
and iu which, it is safe to assume, the

erally has been that they very readily
caught colds, and were easy* prey , to

we have had with tho Indian variety
has been to their credit in this particu

There lives in a certain small town a
poor minister who has a large family
which his salary does not begin tocover
(literally), so the congregation has do
noted cast off clothing for the children,
and even the last minister’s wife goes
tochurch 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 conglomera
tion of dresses, cloaks and hats which
are sent her, though the result is some
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 enough to say
anything about it. One Sunday, how
ever, she dressed the nine hopefuls with
great care and marched them into to
the church. She was a little late, and
just as she opened the door and stnrted
up the aisle her husband thundered
from the pulpit, “Even Solomen in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of
these.” He did not see the joke, but
the congregation tittered, and the
mother was ready to cry.—Indianapo
