CHAPTER HL—fCosTunnat j
"Perhaps it would be better for me
not to change my dreas, if I am likely
to infringe upon the dinner hour,” said
Constance, at her chamber door.
, ”0h, I do not think my cousin would
approve of that!” exclaimed her em
phatic conductress. Then she amended
her inadvertence. “Of course, Mrs.
(Withers is the proper Judge qf her own
actions, and I would not appear to dic
tate, but my cousin is punctilious on
Isome points, and the matter of ladles’
jattire is one of these. I have known
him so long that I am conversant with
Ial] his amiable peculiarities. I am con
fident he would be pleased to see Mrs.
(Withers assume the head of her table
In full dinner toilet. But as I remarked,
I do not presume to dictate, to ad
jvise, or even suggest. Mrs. Withers is
;undisputed empress here.” Having run
{trippingly through this speech, she in
jflicted a third remarkable courtesy
upon the novice, and vanished.
“She is underbred and a meddler,”
•decided Constance, while she made a
rapid toilet. “J hate to be addressed in
the third person. I thought it a form
iof speech confined, in this country, to
kitchen maids and dry goods store
jelerks.”
Before she could invest herself in the
{dinner dress that lay uppermost in her
trunk the bfll rang to summon her to
the evening meal, and three minutes
thereafter the footman knocked at her
door with the message that Mr. With
ers had sent for her.
“I shall be down directly. Tell him
not to wait for'jjne,” she said, hurried
ly. She did not expect to be taken at
her word, but upon her descent to the
dining room ehe beheld her husband
seated a: the foot of the board and Miss
Field at the head. The latter laid down
the soup ladle and jumped up, fussily.
“Herq she is, now. 1 resign my chair
to one who will fill it more worthily
than 1 have ever done.”
“Keep yo\y place, Harriet!” ordered
her kinsman.5, f Mrs. Withers will waive
her claims on * this occasion, since she
Is late,” designating a chair at his left
as that Intended for Constance’s occu
pancy. “We would have waited for
you, Constance, had I been less taint
and weary. My physician haB repeat
edly warned me that protracted absti
nence is detrimental to my digestion.
Harriet, here, understands my consti
tution so well that I am seldom, when
at home, a sufferer from the twinges of
dyspepsia, that have afflicted me in my
absence.”
» I "Those horrible public tables,” cried
jHarrlet. “I assure you I never sat down
jto a meal when you were away without
sighing over your evil plight in being
subjected to the abominable cookery
and intolerable hours of hotels."
“I did not know you were a dyspep
S" tic,” observed Constance. "You seemed
jto enjoy good health during our tour.”
s "That was because Mrs. Withers
f does not yet comprehend your marvel
| jous patience—the courage with which
%,you bear pain, and the unselfishness
Jvjthat leads you to conceal Its ravages
r ifrom the eyes of others,” explained
jMiss Field, ogling the interesting suf
' jferer, who was discussing a plate of
^excellent white soup with a solemnly
conscious air. "Now that you are safe
under your own roof, we will soon undo
the mischief that has been done. You
: do not know what a prize you have
won, Mrs. Withers, until you have seen
him in ,the r.etiracy of home. His vir
tues are such as flourish in perfection
in the shadow of his own vine and fig
tree; shed their sweetest perfume upon
the domestic hearth."
"Ai y»u perceive, my good cousin’s
iparttallty for me tempts her to become
poetically extravagant in her expres
sions," Mr. Withers Bald to his wife, in
pretended apology, looking well
pleased, nevertheless.
“I could not have a more patient aud
itor than Mrs. Withers, I am sure,” re
joined Harriet. "Mrs. Withers will
jnever take exception to my honest en
ithuelasm.”

ONSTANCE an
swered. by her ster
eotyped, languid
smile, wondering
only at the compla
cency with which a
inan of her spouse's
years and shrewd
ness hearkened to
V»e bold flattery ot
his parasite.
The exhibition
fi'
ceased to. astonish her before she had
live* In the same house with the cous
ins for A mofcth. Within the same pe
riod she wa« gradually reduced to the
position of a, cipher In the management
of the< establishment. After that first
day lilts Field had not offered to%bdi
eaie thn seat at the head of the table,
except at the only dinner party they
had Then the handsome Mrs.
Witherjf'tppeared In pearl-colored sat
in and diamonds as the mistress of cer
emonies ip a dozen substantial citizens
and their expensively attired wives, en
dured the two hours spent at table, and
the two duller ones In the great par
jlors, where the small company seemed
jlost and everybody talked as If afraid
of his own voice. She was no gayer than
the rest hjr the time the entertainment
was half over; The atmosphere of re
spectable stupidity was infectious, and
tills pervaded every nook of her new
home. In her brother’s house she had
had young visitors, and there was, at
the dullest, the hope of release to con
sole her. Now ehe was “settled In life,”
could alt down with idle hands and
spend her days in contemplatlou of her
grandeur. She had married well. No
body looked askance at her when old
maids were the subjects of pity or ridi
cule. The most censorious could not
couple her name with the dread word
“dependence.” She had no household
cares. Mr. Withers and Miss Field re
lieved her of all such.
And the mistress of the mansion was
left to her own devices? By no means.
If her husband were fastidious, he was
also tyrannical. He dictated not only
what dress his wife should appear in
dally, but also what laces and orna
ments she should sport; at what hours
she should take the air; whom she
must visit and whom invite; what
songs she should sing to him when lie
asked for music in the evening, and
when the day should close—the day so
wearisome in its similitude to all that
had preceded and those which should
follow it.
“My cousin Is a man with aspirations
above the frivolities of fashionable
life, and excitement is injurious to his
health,” Miss Field notified the bride
that day after her home-bringing. “I
fear Mrs. Withers will tire of the even
tenor of our way.”
"I like quiet,” Constauce replied.
But she did not mean stagnation.
She was married In April, and on the
first of July the trio removed to Mr.
Withers’ country seat. Here Constance
was to find that the dead level of her
existence had yet a lower plane of dull
ness. There was not a neighbor within
four miles, hardly a farm house in
sight.
"We recruit here after the dissipa
tion of the winter,” Miss Field said,
enjoylngly. "The solitude la enraptur
ing. One can sleep all day long if she
likes.”
This proved to be her favorite meth
od of recuperating her exhausted ener
gies. Mr. Withers, too, liked a post
prandial siesta, “prescribed by his phy
sician as eminently conducive to diges
tion.” Constance was not more lonely
when they slept than when they were
awake. The horrible sterility of her life
was not to be ameliorated by their so
ciety. If commonplaceness be a crime,
Mr. Withers and his cousin were of
fenders of an aggravated type. Harri
et's affectations and Elnathan's plati
tudes were to the tortured senses of the
third person of the party less endura
ble than the cicada's shrill monotone
through the hot summer day, and the
katydid's endless refrain at night. Her
chains, which had. hitherto paralyzed
her by their weight, began to gall and
fret into her spirit. She grew unequal
in temper, nervous and restless, under
the restrictions imposed by her spouse.
An insane impulse beset her to defy his
authority and set at naught his coun
sels; to rush into some outrageous
freak that should shock him out of his
propriety and provoke the prudish toad
eater to natural speech and action.
This madness was never stronger
than on one August afternoon when she
escaped from the house, leaving the
cousins to the enjoyment of their re
cuperative naps in their respective
chambers, and took her way to the
mountain back of the villa. She had
never explored it, tempting as was the
shade of the hemlocks and pines that
grew up to the summit, and the walls
of gray rock revealed through the rifts
of the foliage. A current of fragrance,
the odor of the resinous woods, flowed
down to greet her ere she reached the
outskirts of the forest, and the lulling
murmur of the wind in the evergreen
boughs was like the sound of many
and wooing waters. The tender green
tassels of the larches tapped her head
as she bowed beneath their low branch
es, and the v ide hemlocks were spread
in benediction above her. She was
alone with nature—free for one short
hour to think her own thoughts and
act out her desires. She laughed as a
bushy cedar knocked off her hat at the
Instant that she tore her dresB upon a
bramble.
"They are leagued with my legal
proprietor In the commendable business
of repressing the lawless vagaries of
those who cannot get their All of nat
ural beauties through the windows of
a state chariot. But I shall have my
frolic all the same."
Another and a higher peak tempted
her when she had sat for awhile upon
a boulder crowning the first, revelling
In the view of valley and hill, includ
ing the basin in which nestled the
house, and the plain opening eastward
toward the sea and civilization. The
second height was precipitous. In some
places almost perpendicular. From
treading fearlessly and rapidly from
crag to crag, she came to pulling her
self up gravelly banks by catching at
the stout underbrush, and steadying
herself among rolling stones by tufts
of wiry grass. But she kept on, and
forgot aehlng feet, scant breath and
blistered hands when she stood finally
upon a broad plateau hundreds of feet
above the house, that had dwindled
Into a toy cottage, and the environing
plantations of trees like patches in an
herb garden.
“This is life!” ehe cried out In a sud
den transport, and she sat her dawn
upon a cushion of gray moss in the
shadow of a cedar, to gaze and wonder
and rejoice.
She made a discovery presently. A
spring, clear and impetuous, burst
from between two overhanging rocks,
and chose the shortest route to the
▼alley, babbling with all Its little
might. It was Joined, before It had
gone many feet, by other rivulets, anti
from a point midway In the descent,
where the cliffs were steepest, came up
the shout of a waterfall. This, and the
tireless murmur of the evergreens,
made up the music of this upper sanc
tuary, until Constance’s voice rose from
the rocky table, sweet, full, exultant:
"The wild streams leap with headlong
sweep
In their curbless course o’er the moun
tain Bteep;
All fresh and strong they foam along.
Waking the rocks with their cataract
song.
My eye bears a glance like the beam on
a lance
As I Watch the waters dash and dance.
I burn with glee, for I love to see
The path of anything that’s free.
I love—I love—oh, I love the free!
I love—I love—I love the free!
“The skylark springs with dew on hit
wings.
And up in the arch of heaven he
sings—
‘Tra-Ia-tra-la!’ Oh, Bweeter far
Than the notes that come through a
golden bar.
The thrall and the state of the palace
gate
Are what my spirit has learned to
hate.”
The strain ceased abruptly, and, In
place of the rapt musician, borne above
the power of earthly woes to crush and
petty vexations to sting, a woman grov
elled upon the mossy cushion, weeping
hot, fast tears, and beating against the
rough rock with a child’s folly of des
peration the white hand that wore the
badge of her servitude.
What was she but a caged bird, bid
den to preen its feathers and warble
the notes its master dictated between
golden bars? A slave to whom state
and thrall meant one and the same
abhorrent thing? What had she to do
henceforward with dreams of beauty
and freedom—she, who had signed
away her liberty of spirit and person,
voluntarily accepting in their stead
the most foul captivity a pure and up
right woman can know? She felt her
self to be utterly vile—plague-spotted
in soul and flesh In the lonely sublim
ity of this mountain temple—a leper,
condemned and incurable, constrained
to cry out at the approach of every
passer-by, “Unclean! unclean!” It
would have been better for her to beg
her bread upon the doorsteps of the
wealthy, and, failing that, to die by the
wayside with starvation and cold, than
to live the life of nominal respectabil
ity and abundance, of real degradation
and poverty, which were now hers.
The tears were dried, but she still sat
on the gray carpet, clutching angrily
at it and the wild flowers peeping
through the crevices of the rock, rend
ing them as passion had torn her; her
bosom heaving with the unspent waves
of excitement and a mutinous pout
upon her lips, when a crackling among
the bri^shwood thrilled her with an un
comfortable sensation of alarm.
Before she could regain her feet or
concert her scheme of defense or
flight, the nearest cedar boughs were
pushed aside, and a man stepped into
the area fenced in by the hardy moun
tain evergreens. With subsiding fears,
as her quick eye inventoried the vari
ous particulars of his neat traveling
suit, gentlemanly bearing, pleasant
countenance and deferential aspect
toward herself, Constance arose, visibly
embarrassed, but dignified, and await
ed his pleasure. The stranger betrayed
neither surprise nor confusion. Walk
ing directly up to her, he removed his
hat, bowing low, with a bright, cordial
smile. “Unless I am greatly mistaken
I have the pleasure of seeing my broth
er’s wife. And you are more familiar
with my name and my handwriting
than with my face. I am Kdward With
ers!”

Coining ot Fannies,
It is not generally known that all the
minor coins of base metal, such as
pennies and nickels, are made at the
Philadelphia mint, and that nearly
100,000,000 pennies are coined there
every year. This large number is oc
casioned by the fact that thousands of
pennies are lost annually, and the gov
ernment has some difficulty in main
taining a supply. The profit of the
government on their manufacture is
large. The blanks for making them
are purchased for $1 a thousand from
a Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels are
obtained in the same way, costing Un
cle Sam only a cent and a half a piece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia and San
Francisco. Not enough of it comes in
to the mint at New Orleans to make
the coinage «f it worth while. Gold
pieces are the only coins of the United
States which are worth their face value
intrinsically. A double eagle contains
J20 worth of gold without counting the
one-tenth part copper.

IT AMUSED THE OLD MAN.
thej Helped Him to Get Away wltb
His Dog.
The old man came down to the subur
bad station leading a most reprehensi
ble dog. Leading is hardly the word,
for in reality he dragged the unwilling
animal after the fashion of a sled.
With coaxing words he Iurea tne scrag
gy beast on, and finally he got it safe
ly stowed under the bench on the shady
side of the station. He bought a paper
then, and settled down to wait twenty
minutes for the cityward train. Mr.
Huffman and Mr. Jodyngs had marked
the approach of the old man and had
smiled somewhat at his trouble when
the dog had pulled back with greatest
force. "It’s funny, isn’t it,” said Mr.
Jodyngs, "that an otherwise reason
able and sane man will take up with
such a dog as that and treat It as a
pet?'” Mr. Huffman assented, and said
he supposed the old man would go in
to paroxysms of wrath if anything
were to happen the dog. That sug
gested an idea, and Mr. Jodyngs nearly
burst with laughter as he thought upon
that idea.
“Suppose we steal the dog and put it
on the northbound train, and when the
old man finishes his paper and goes to
take the city train he will be furious.’’
This was Mr. Jodyngs’ idea, and Mr.
Huffman came near exploding, it was
so funny. Mr. Huffman sat down next
the old man, so as to conceal the work
ings of Mr. Jodyngs, and Mr. Jodyngs,
with suppressed snorts of laughter, un
tied the twine and hauled the dog
around the corner of the station and
into the express office, where he paid
a glad dollar and expressed the sorry
beast to a fictitious John Smith at a
station a dollar’s worth up the line.
The old man continued reading, while
the up train stood at the platform, and
he did not wake up until the whistle of
the Incoming cityward engine was
sounded at the road crossing. Then he
looked hastily for his dog.
‘‘Where’s that dog?” he asked of his
city-bound fellow-townsmen, who had
gathered about in obedience to the in
vitation of Mr. Jodynge. With fierce
peals of laughter Mr. Huffman told him
that the household pet was on the way
to Milwaukee. Mr. Huffman explained
the joke, and clapped the old man on
the back in delight.
'fhe face of the latter was a study.
He looked at Mr. Huffman wonder
ingly.
“By thunder!” he cried, “that’s fun
ny! You see, I brought the dog to the
station to-day, intending to carry him
as far in toward town as Jefferson
Park and there I had intended to kick
him off. He’s a blamed nuisance
around the house, and I wanted to get
rid of him the worst way. Much
obliged, Jodyngs.”
But Mr. Jodyngs, with his mind
dwelling on his dollar, was a pillar of
self-kicking silence.—Chicago Record.
I How Eaglea Fly.
An eagle circling in the air maintains
his wings steadily motionless, but he
spreads his tail as wide as possible and
works it like the quarter revolution of
a screw. The reactionary force which
he thus displaces drives him forward,
and, by exerting more force of pressure
with one side of his tail than with the
other, he diverts his course either to
the right or the left. The change in the
bird’s position is attended with short,
quick motions, as the point of one wing
is stretched forward, while that of the
other is turned backward correspond
ingly.
These short, convulsive movements
of the tail escaped the observations of
the ornithologists until quite recently,
and the fact of them not being noted
caused many exhaustive articles to be
written on the “Mystery of the Eagle'e
Flight.” Stein der Weisen, the Aus
trian naturalist, appears to have been
the first to notice the rudder-like mo
tions of the eagle’s tail. He says:
"These motions of the tail would prob
ably have escaped me also, but for the
fact that 1 had so often observed the
peculiar construction of the side tail
feathers.” It is interesting to the nat
uralists and the laymen alike to know
that “the mystery of the eagle’s flight”
has at last been explained.—St. Louis
Republic.
Imitation of lUln.
The phenomena of rain are imitated
by Prof. Errera of Brussels university
in a beaker. The glass. 8 inches tall
by 5 in diameter, is half filled with 92
per cent alcohol, covered with a saucer
and thoroughly heated over a water
bath without boiling the liquid. It is
then carefully removed to a wooden ta
ble. Soon the alcohol vapor is con
densed into visible clouds by the cool
ing saucer, innumerable minute drop
lets of rain fall and the clouds become
gradually lowered away from the sau
cer. The miniature storm may last
half an hour. The action is intensified
if the warm saucer is replaced by a cold
one. Whirlwinds and squalls are pro
duced when the alcohol is very warm
and if the liquid is warmer on one side
the clouds may be seen to rotate around
a horizontal axis.—Exchange.
Hopeful.
A gentleman from London visiting
Scotland, having Heard that a man re
siding in the district where he had put
up had just completed the 100th year
of his age, and being anxious to see the
centenarian, paid him a visit. In the
course of conversation the cockney
congratulated the old man on the
healthy appearance he had at his time
of life, “but,” says he, "I presume you
do not expect to see the end of an
other' 100 years?” ‘ ‘I'm noo very sure
about that. You must mind I'm a
heap stronger the noo thin whin I
started wi’ the first huuner,” was the
old man's reply.—Tit-Bits.

where it was exposed to constant chaf

non-continuous system is now used,
and is said to work admirably. The
cable terminates in the water sixty
yards off, and the electric currents
sent from the shore find their way
through this distance to two bare
wires that dip into the sea from ' the
