Lady Latimer does. I believe he is the fa vored guest." ••What time does he leave in the morning” I asked, for the sake of showing some interest in him. “Quite early," he replied. “He has to bo at the Royal horse guards bv noon.” “He will come back, I hope." I knew lie would not. I understood why he had returned to tlie house, and had gone to the smoking-room where most of tho guests could see him. Then, when tho visitors were all gone, I went back to Lady Latimer’s room. 1 found her very 111. 1 told the maid that I would sit with her and road her to sleep. “I do not like my lady’s looks at all, Miss Lovel,” said the maid. “I am afraid that she has overdone her solf. I should not wonder if she has a bad illness.” I sat with her tho night through. She did not speak to me. She hardly seemed to know that I was present. She wept and moaned through tho night in such a heart-breaking fashion it made mo ill to listen. She did not hoar, poor child, what I heard—the quick galloping of ahorse in the early morning. When it ceased I knew that Colonel North had gone. She was worse in the morning; brain fevor set in; tho doctor was sent for hurriedly. The visitors disap peared. ijora wiumer wa3 irigntenea to death. “Brain fever,” he said. “Why, brain fever only comes to those who have great trouble, and she has none in the world, absolutely none.” The doctor’s opinion was that Lady Latimer had overtired herself with the Christmas festivities. “She 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 Latimer fell ill, and the violets were in bloom before she was able to leave the house again. “I want to go away from hero, 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 the seaside. Once, and once only, terrible ener gy came to her. I was sitting on the cliff overlooking the sea, and she came to me suddenly, holding an open news paper in her hands. “I have been looking for you,” she said. “I want you to read'this; it is your fault.” I took the paper from her hands and read that war had broken out at the cape, and among others who had ex changed to bo sent out there was that well-known and highly esteemed of 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?” “Yes, I do,’’ she answered. “You may think me for that,” I said. “I saved him as well as you. English officers are men of honor, and if Colonel North had stolen the wife of his friend, they would not have asso ciated with him.” Her face flushed and her head drooped. “I wish,” said she, “that I could fall from the cliff here into the sea.” Decidedly, in those days, she was not the most pleasant companion in the world; but I knew the gnawing misery. “I wish,” she said to mo one day, “that Lord Latimer would leave Lof ton’s Cray. I shall never like the place again.” Captain Fleming came once or twice, but he did not remain long. He told me that he had never seen any one so changed as Lady Latimer. ' J “When I think of her leading the cotillon on Now Year's eve, in that I wonderful dress of blue velvet and j pearls, and then look at her as she is ! now, I cannot believe she is 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 terri 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 j was almost frightened. She wore a j long white dress; her hair was un- I fastened, her face white a3 death; her eyes had an expression I shall never forget. She held out a nowspapor to me. “Look,” she said, “and read, i Heaven has punished me.” ' I looked. In the list of those killed : at Isandula was Ihc namo of Colonel i Philip North. “You see it,” she said slowly.” 1 “Yes, I see it. Lady Latimer.” “It was you who sent him to his death.” “Better the death of a good man f than the life of a coward,” I answered. : “Ho has died,’ she said slowly, “be- 1 cause he loved me.1’ “No; that is wrong*; he ha3 died a : soldier s death, and you may bo proud : of him. \ ou can love him in death, j whereas you could not in life. You 1 may be proud of him, now he has re- i deemed by a hero's death what was a . coward’s crime.” I ■ y'--' She cried out that I was hard and | cruel; she wept as I have never seen a | woman weep beforo. i “I wcutld go all the way to Isan j dula,” she said, “to kis* his face just | once beforo thoy lay him in his grave,” She was like a woman stricken with death. Captain Fleming came down in tho samo sunny moimi of August, and ho talked for hours about one who had been tho hero of tho light. lie told a hundred anecdotes of Colonel North, of his courage, his bravery, his kind ness; how ho was beloved by his friends, worshipped by tho soldiers; how he was always ready with kindly words and generous help. She listened with a white, sot face; and spoke no word. “I do not beliovo,” said Captain Fleming, “that he had a blot in his life.” But wo two women, who knew what a dark and terrible blot there had been, said nothing. Lady Latimer was like a woman turned into stono. Another groat event happened in that month of August. I Lord Latimer died quite suddenly. | He had been unusually irritable, and complained of not being well, but no one suspected that ho was worse than usual. His valet, going to wake him one morning, found him doad in his bed, and tho doctor said ho had been dead some hours. There was no need for any inquest; he had died from heart disease from which ho had suffered manv vears. It was a terrible blow to Lady Lati mer; 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 me one day. “Oh, Audrey,” God has punished my sin.” Then Lionel Fleming became Lord Latimer, and master of Lorton's Cray. The old lord had left his wife a large fortune. “I shall sperd it all in charity she said to mo. “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 and good deeds, Lady Lati mer did. The new Lord Latimer begged of us to remain at Lorton’s Cray for some few months. He did not want to take pos ession until the spring of the year, and he prayed us to remain there Lady Latimer consented, and we lived there in peace and seclusion until the Christmas snow was on the ground again and the New Year coming round, [TO BE CONTINUED.] LIVING IN A CHURCH. A United States Senator Occupies One as a Kesklence. An ex-senator of the United States lives in a church in Washington, and seems to like it. Tho peculiar thing about it is that the church in question is still in a condition which would per mit of the words of truth being ut tered every Sunday from tho sacred desk, and that the 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 re finements of civilization. Everybody knows tho picturesque and vine-clad little church on Massachusetts avenue, at the intersection of Eighteenth and P streets. Ex-Senator Van Wyck, his wife and young daughter have made it their home. Mrs. Van Wyck owns the property, it having been bought by her husband and presented to her as a little after dinner favor the day they were leav ing Washington for Nebraska, at the conclusion of the latter’s senatorial career. It has been the 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 gress 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 tho auditorium by imaginary lines into a parlor, bod rooms, dining room and picture gallery. The pictures they had stored away hero in plenty, and a shopping expedition quickly pro vided the necessary furniture. The vestry was turned into a kitchen, and the shining pipes of tho organ and the decoration of the chancel helped out the art gallery. Rugs, lamps, 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, the household spends the days very enjoyably in its novel quarters. Piety In Practice. 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 bo imagined than described when she heard Uncle Josh say. “My Cod! Have a biscuit?” The above deity proved to be a per fect fraud, and when Uncle Josh was told that his master hud lost consider able through him,ho was heard to say, “That’s what they gits for followin' after strange gods."—Truth.

' Extract* from I.-ttnrj to Bayard oa tha Vcnernela Dispute. Washington. April 18.—The published correspondence of the state department for 1884, made public yesterday, coil t .Inn but two letters In reference to the Veneruelan boundary dispute. They are addressed to Ambassador Bayard at London nnd are dated July 13 and Dec. 1 last respectively. The first letter re cites the efforts made to have the dis pute settled by arbitration and Eng land’s gradually widening claims to ter ritory and concludes with tho opinion there are but two solutions of the ques tion-arbitration or the creation of a new boundary line "In accordance with the dictates of expediency and consider ation." The second letter Is a reference to Britain’s contention that the validity of her claim to territory In dispute shall be a condition precedent to the sub mission of the matter to arbitration and hopes Mr. Bayard will succeed In secur ing an honorable settlement of the dlillculty FIGHTING FOR THE OFFICE8. Uov. Mosley of the Chickasaw Nation lias His Hands Full. St. Louis, Mo.. April 18.—A special from Ardmore, I. T., says: "One hun dred armed men are reported near Tish omingo, the Chickasaw capital. Gov. Mosely notified all sheriffs, constables nnd deputies to report at once to him for active duty. His Intention Is to dis band the faction which Is composed of Charles and Willi3 Brown and Noah McMill as leaders, and their followers. They claim to have been duly and legally elected as sheriffs for the Chick asaw country. The legislature, how ever, Ignored their claims, and other officers were Installed. This faction holds that the legislature had no auth ority to interfere, hence their deter mined effort to Install themselves. Bloodshed cannot be avoided." HEARING IOWA LAND CASES. Bettlen on Sioux City Railroad Grant Claim Title Through Forfeiture. Washington, April 18.—The United States Supreme court is hearing argu ments In throe cases to which various settlers In Iowa, on the Chicago, Mil 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 the Sioux 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 Refineries 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 nent, The 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 resumed work. The Mc Cahan refinery, which is not controlled by the trust, is running full time. Wisconsin Arbitration Bill rasses. 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 expen 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 assem bly bill providing for licensing street car companies was concurred In by the senate. It provides that a license of 1 per cent on the gross receipts up to 8250,000 be charged; above that 1% per cent until the $500,000 mark is reached, when 2 per cent shall be charged. This ■license fee is to be paid in lieu of other taxes. LIVE STOCK AMD PRODUCE MARKETS Quotations from New York, Chicago, Louts, Omaha and Elsewhere.
