sat before a little
table in bis cell.
He had a pen in his
band, and writing
materials upon the
table. He laid
down the pen, and
leaned back
thoughtfully in his
chair.
His Imprison
ment had brought upon him a great
change. His face was pale and atten
uated, his lips had grown thin by con
stant compression, and bis eyes, once so
bright,and daring, were sad and mlaty
with th# tears pride would not let him
shed. For as the time drew near when
his reprlawe would expire, and the fatal
sentence of the law must be executed,
he felt a'strange, yearning desire for
life. Before, when he had been so near
l->ath, he had hanlly asked for life;
S’lme way. It did not seem so easy to die
now. Once, he had loved In a wild,
passionate way a little short of mad
ness- Imogen# Ireton; he would have
given his life to have brought her one
hour of happiness. But lhat fierce pas
sion had died a violent death. It had
been very long since he had thought of
her with a single thrill, and gradually

The Jailer gave her acceea at once.
She atood alone with Lynde Graham.
HI* face glowed, hla breath came
quick. If he had followed the dictate*
of hla heart, he would have aprung for
ward and folded her in bl* arma. But
he remembered that he waa a felon, and
reatralned hlmaelf. Agnea went for
ward, downcaat and confuaed, and put
her hand In hla. The conaclouanea* of
her love, the love he had never aaked
for. made her timid anil ahrlnklng.
"You aee I have come, Lynde.”
"I do. I thank you for It. and alao
for casing me Lynde. O Agnea, It
eecm* io much like the old time*!”
"The dear old time*!” ahe »ald aoftly.
"O Lynde, Lynde!” And all the terri
ble change that had come ruahed over
her mind, and ahe burnt Into tear*.
He amoothed the hair on her fore
head, hla hand trembling, hi* voice
hoarae and unateaily.
"Huah, my child! It la all In God’*
hand*. Cannot we truat him?”
"Yea, I have. I do. But, O Lynde!

She atopped. She could not flnlah the
aenteuce.
"And then I ahall have paaaed away,”
be aald aolemnly. "It will be better,
perhapa, but I have Juat begun to learn
bow *we«t life might be!”
"Lynde, I want you to tell me that
jruii art? iuuui;viii. i »uuw mat
are. I have never felt a doubt of that,
but 1 want to hear you nay It. It will
be to me a great satisfaction.”
"You are good to trust me, Agnes. I
am innnocent. I would sooner have
died than harm should have come to
Marina. Is that enough?”
“Yes, your simple word Is all I ask.
I am content.”
"I thank you yet again for your trust
In me. But I have never expressed to
you my gratitude for the little more of
life given me through your means. I
know alt the risk you ran, and all the
sacrifice you made, and my heart Is
full of gratitude.”
He leaned his head over hers, and
lifted her face—their lips almost
touched. The temptation that beset
him was almost too strong to be re
slsted. If he could kiss her once, he
thought, the remembrance would be so
sweet he should forget all that might
come in recalling it. But he would not.
He was a man convicted and sentenced
to death for the crime of murder—his
very touch was pollution.
“Lynde," she said, "1 could not have
you die. Why do I not feel the same
terrible anxiety now, I wonder? 1
know that this time I cannot save you,
and yet I feel uo fear. I seem to cast it
all out of my mind.”
He looked at her curiously. She
seemed like one who saw far away in
the future something so bright and
beautiful that its glory pierced even
the midnight gloom of the unhappy
present. And then, the glow faded,
the light went out of her eyes. She
saw only the dreary prison cell, and
dropping her forehead on her folded
arms, she sobbed unrestrainedly.
I.,ynde Graham half lifted his arras to
take her Into them, but refrained.
“O Agnes!" he said, bitterly. “If I
only could! If I bad a right to comfort
you! But you understand w hat stands
between us!
She understood him fully, then. The
color leaped Into her cheeks she took
her bands gently away from him.
U.l ll'ir, i Ilium nun. iiuiurilllir &

About ihla ilm» a very singular cir

Quito, the great dog that had Iteen

She put her arms around hi* shaggy

“I love you, Quito," *be said, enthu
slast(rally. “Helen love* you! And
let what will happen she'll stand by
you!”
The dog harked understandlngly, and
looked Into her face with eye* that were
almost human.
A little afterward, a piercing scream
echoed through the house. It came
from the hull shove the main entrance.
Ralph rushed out of the library, where
he was writing, and Agnes, Helen and
Mrs. Trenholme hurried to the place.
For a moment they all stood petrified
with what they behelo.
Quito was holding Imogena pinioned
to the floor with his heavy body, and
his terrible teeth were burled In her
throat! Every hair on him bristled
with rage, and hi* eye* gleamed like
coal*. Imogens'* fare was purple, her
eyes starting from their sockets, and
the red blood flowing profusely down
her white neck to the floor.
Ralph snatched a musket from the
bracket in the wall, and struck the dog
a terrible blow, and then he lifted Imo
gens up. Something like a thrill of
tenderness went over him as her head
sunk helplessly to his shoulder.
“My poor girl," In* said, pityingly—
then to one of the servants, "William,
run quickly for the doctor!”
Imogens heard him, and raised her
self quickly.
"Atop, William!” she said, Impera
tively. "It 1* not much. Hind It up. ;
some of you. I want no doctors!"
Ralph took her up to the housekeep- ,
er's room, and the old woman washed j
and dressed the wound to the best of
her ability. It was severe, but no ser
ious result need he apprehended.
“Now tell me how It happened?” said
Ralph, seating himself hy the side of
his wife.
Ahe replied coldly:
”1 hardly know. I think the dog
must be naturally Ill-tempered. 1
brushed against him as I was passing,
and Instantly he sprang upon me.
Don't question me about It, please? It
Rulph left her and sought Quito. I
Helen had taken birn In charge, and
with bis head In her lap was doing her j
best to comfort him for the rough treat
ment he bad received at the hands of
his master. Ralph took the animal by
the collar, and Helen saw the glitter of
a revolver In his hand. She sheltered
tin* dog with her body.
"No! no! you must not have him. If
you are going te kill him! I won't let 1
you!"
"He has nearly killed my wife, Miss
Fulton; 1 should not feel safe with him
at large. The only way to stop this It
to end his life."
"But I tell you, you shall not! Mr.
Trenholme, 1 am your guest, and If I
want a dog s life spared, you can't be a
gentleman, you know, unless you spare
It."
"Indeed. I regret to deny you—"
"But you need not regret, for I will i
not have you deny me! You can chain
the dog. But if you kill him, now mark
me. If you kill him and you shall not
there will come a day when you will ]
be sorry for It!"
Her singular earnestness influenced
him strangely. There was something
about this girl he did not understand
"Y'ory well," he said, "I will humor
you. The dog shall be chained.
Come, Quito."
"Thank you," she said. "That’s
kind. Give me the pistol."
"What? Cannot you trust me?”
“Pistols are dangerous weapons in
careless hands. Give It to me. I’ll
kill a squirrel for your breakfast with
it in the morning" And taking the
weapon from his unresisting hand, she
hurried away.

Dr. Lundstrom has recently described
some cases of alleged plant mimicry.

tivated plant known as calendula inay.
In different conditions, produce at least
three different kinds of fruit. Some
have sails and are suited for transpor
tation by the wind, while others have
hooks and catch hold of passing ani

desperate dodg», for it becomes like a
caterpillar! Not that the fruit knows
anything about it. but if it be sufficient

The next case is more marvelous.
