Owen Meredith. nd Suspicion of an Hour. An American lady who was at the last drawing-room writes: "The queen Is a homely little woman, but she has the loveliest hands I ever saw white, well-rounded, and soft as velvet She wears a few rings, and all of them small; no large stones or flaring gems." in nis Decoration duy address at Philadelphia Mr. Depew told the vet erans that the literature of the war was exceedingly voluminous, but in view of some recent experience he re marked that he hadn't hired anybody to go over it for him. He had conclud ed to rely on his own unaided efforts hereafter in making his speeches. M. Henki Rochefobt belongs to one of the oldest of noble French fam ilies. But he has discontinued the ti tle, and as his sons are not legitimate they cannot claim them, so that when the phamphleteer and journalist dies they will lapse. Strange to say, the last of the line who bore the title, Henri Rochefort's father died some twenty years since in a lowly garret In absolute poverty. It is related that when Prince Bis marck met Samoan Commissioner Kas son he was struck with the idea that he had met that gentleman before. "Is my face familiar to you?" asked Bismarck, with a puzzled expressiorj on his countenance. "Your features are known to everybody in our coun try," said the courtly Kassou. But the latter was not pleased to think that Bismarck should have wholly forgotten their meeting when Kasson was Minis ter to Austria. It is stated that Mrs. Joseph Cham berlain, nee Endicott, is much disgust ed with the freedom which pertains to conversation in what are considered the most select circles of English so ciety. Her puritan blood cannot stand certain features of dinner gossip pop ular in London. Not long ago she left the table of a noted peeress because of ome remark which was made. The guests were astonished, but it is said that Queen Victoria thoroughly ap proves of Mrs. Chamberlain's course. Whatever the queen may decree re garding court dress, she does not be lieve in having conversation cut decollete. A curious ceremony took place at the white bouse Saturday the cre mation of a bushel of letters written to President Cleveland by cranks. They had been preserved in two mail bags and were found during the re cent clearing of the white house attic. They were written by cranks in all parts of the country and gave Mr. Cleveland advice on all sorts of sub jects. About 100 letters had been re ceivea irom a man who sign ed himself "David God."

I should know by instinct if affection remain ad loyal or had become faithless And I would have vengeance, swift. sure, and deadly, upon any woman tvho should come between me and my love." How long ago was it that beauli (ul Isadora Dustan had uttered those terrible words? Lorene Gaverock could not quite remember, lie only knew the words had been spoken in the days while they were yet happy in the delicious "J "Ji-ivji , ij, nulling, Ullutlllp, ever-darkening shadow hail drifted between their two hearts! But bow well he remembred her every look, every inflection of her be loved voice, ns she spoke! How her blue, beautiful eyes had kindled! How witchinclv the rich color bad glowed and faded on her soft, round cheeks! How erect and high she, had held her lovely head! What passionate intensity there had been in those accents of sweetest magic! How like a queen of tragedy she had looked at that moment! He remembered, too, howr he had drawn her into his arms! How he had kissed the quivering, fragrant mouth of his darling! How he had laughed at her tragic speech! It had seemed so strange, uttered by one so always gentle nnd graci ous, by one so endowed with every womanly grace and dignity! His Isa, stooping to common mor tal jealousies! His Isa seeking trag ic vengeance for common human wrongs! The Idea had seemed absurd! Such a notion he had laughed to scorn. But now the words haunted him. As he paced up and down, to and fro, along the secluded walk beneath the nodding lilac plumes the strange speech occurred to him again and again. "And I would have vengeance swift, sure, and deadly, upon any woman who should come between me and my love." And as he recalled the speech he shuddered. Would Isadore with all her angelic graces, all her saintlinese of soul and deed, would Isa seek vengeance up on pretty, foolish, coquettish Meda Wayne? j i or Loerne Gaverock, reluctantly uuu witu uiiteresi pain, was lorceu to confess the truth to his own heart! A fierce jealousy, whether causual or otherwise, had been aroused to tort ure Isadore Dustan well-uijrh into madness. , He had become courteous to Dret- ty Meda Wayne! but no man could help being so! 1 he girl's big baby eves, her little airs of childish helplessness, her coax ing tones and confidinc little smiles. somehow appealed to all a man's gallantry in spite of himself. Meda had appreciated his atten tions, just as she did, those of every man wno came near ner. He knew now that all these thincs had been torture unutterable to the proud and sensitive Isa. But he had believed Isa wiser, clear er of mental vision. He believed, too, tnat sne naa a perlect faith a faith as enduring as life itself in his truth. He had never believed that she could misjudge his feelings and misinterpret his conduct. And yet her faith which he had be lieved so perfect and abiding, that faith had dissolved like a vapor, and her love, too that had perished like a mist in the morning. She had, judged him false, fickle, and incon stant. "We have been mistaken in each other. You are free free to woo, win, nnd wed Meda Wayne or any other," she had said to him only a few mornings ago. And that offer of freedom was the first intimation he had of Isa s jeal ousy. This saint, whom he had believed superior to any human weakness this saint had stepped down from her shrine. For an instant she had permitted him to look into her heart, and be had discovered a heart all human after all. This goddess had stepped down from her pedestal; with every word and glance and movement she bad rsTsaled herself as but an earthly mortal whom lore had made blind. So UMi o weak, so unwise and wISfcl, titttch oU roxx&as kla neither time nor opportunity for ex planation. She had released him, placed the betrothal hoop of pearls and gold within his reach; then, before hecould utter so much as a single syllable, she was gone. And since thenshe had shunned him altoirether, or if they met unavoid ably she had coldly passed him by. He paused at the end of the lilac walk, and looked upon a w-ene below Down the shrubby slope, on the bunk of a lily-grown lake, stood Isa. her lovely hair glinting like red gold beneath the broad brim of her white lace hat: her w hite gown gleaming against the massed green of a bushy firtree. A little gilt banded boat rocked on the amber water among the lily disks. And over the azurecushioned bow lent Meda, Wayne, looking like a great, bright cardinal bird in her red gown, with a knot of flaming crimson in her jaunty empire head gear. "Isa never caret! for Miss Wayne! Whv.tben, does she now seek the girl?" Ix)rne asked himself. Again he walked restlessly the length of the winding lilac path, nnd back to the shrubbery slope. And again he looked downward at the moored boat at the hlv-grownlake. Isa Dustan had gone far away among the trees he had caught the glimpse of a white gown, a white- plumed hat. But where was pretty .Meda Wayne? Gaverock had suddenly started and shivered, ns if an icy wind had blown over him. Everv particle of color blanched from his handsume, dnr'.c face. His dark eves opened wide and staring, as if he had looked upon some hideous phantom. lhere, just beyond the rocking boat; there, half hidden among the large-leaved lilies, the waters of the ake were boa ring fa it her and farther from the shore a small figure robed in cardinal crimson. And I would have vengeance, swift, sure, and deadly, upon any woman who should come between me and iiiv love," Gaverock repeat ed, wit h a shudder. Never to the last breath of life would Lome Gaverock cense to re call that moment with a shudder of horror. This, then, wbs Isadora Dustan 's swift, sure, and deadly vengeance. Mie had believed that .Meda avno had come between her and her love, and she had lured the unconscious girl to her destruction. r or Gaverock never doubted at the moment that Isa, in her tortur ing anguish of jealousy, had pushed the girl into the lake. ith a crroan of agony, he started for the fatal spot. ine way down the slope was im passable. He was obliged to make i partial detour of the grounds, find approach the lake by a path wind ing along the edge of an adjoining grove. Half way through the dim grove i . - .... ne cameiace to lace with Isa. something in his look seemed to startle her, for she shrank back from him, and uttered an involun tary cry a sacred, sorrowful little j i. . . i . i . , , . buuuu, which weni straignt to nis heart despite all his horror. tie maintained utter silence. But after that single startled and startling glance, he caught one ten der wrist in a masterful grasn and lorced her along beside him. And in such strange fashion, both mb, they reached the snot where me ooat was moored. Gaverock 's stern eves searched the unrippled surlace of the lake, but all in vain. The red-robed, drifting figure of the drowning girl had vanished. Had pretty Meda Wayne sunk to the fatal depths to rise no more? Isa at last regained her power of speech. "Are you mad?" she asked wonder ingly, ns she tried to release her bruised and smarting wrist from his ungentle hold. Before he could reply both saw the stirring of a red gown amongthefirs, and both heard the tones of a man speaking. "Can you yalk now with my as sistance, pet? How did you manage to get in the lake, anyway?" the man was saying. "I fell in, of course," pretty Meda answered flippantly. "1 saw the sweetest minnow with scales just like topaz; I tried to get it, and I went out farther, and just spoiled mv nice new dress, and then 1 tumbled' into the water. I am always hurting my self when I have nobody to do things for me." "The only way to keep you out of danger is to marry you at once; and I will do it, too." the young man said, with an indulgent laugh. "I wish you wouldn't joke when I am so wet and miserable," Meda pouted. "Our engagement isn't a joke, mv dear little sweetheart," was the re sponse. And then there were sounds of kisses, and happy murmurs, nnd soft, low laughter, and the two I moved awn y. Gaverock had released Isadora's wrist. As he did so, he dropped upon a rustic bench, and covered his white face with both hands. The revulsion of feeling was al most more than the strong man could bear. Isa approached him almost tim idly. "I mm sorry .Meda bai deceived yon if you care for her," Isa said in a low voice. Gaverock dropped his hands and looked at ber almost fiercely. ... .tJ c rT"TV i 'fareJ for her. " ne repe""' - -r. -How could I care for lr when ... ,nn. Dwrote all the wrong , you have believed of me, love you and always shall-you and jou only t0IsaedTlLnotsi.t. Bnt the tears the could not restrain spoke for her. Knd the next instant his arms were about her and his lips were up on hers. . And so they walked away from the lake tcgethei-, reconciled. Hut Gaverock kept his own coun sel, and he never confessed to his beautiful wile ttie suspwiuiio had half maddened him for one brief hour. Family Story Paper.
