"I'll be obliged If somebody will explain.” “I love your daughter, sir.” said St. Cyril, manfully; “but I cannot win a like confession from her.

Hut It Is best to under stand each other fully, Agnes. Once I loved Imogens; but as I told you, that love died long ago, and another has taken Its place. Not the wild, head strong passion I felt for her, but the calm, pure, all-enduring affection that will last through nil time.

Ralph had the best medical advice that could be procured, but without giving her any benefit. Hhe became so dan gerous that be did not trust any of the servants to take her food, but attended her constantly him self. And singularly enough, with him she was always gentle and pliable.

She talked to him confidingly, as a little child might; al ways of things long past, Incidents con nected With her childhood. She told him plaintive stories of the brooks she had played beside, the bird's nests she had found and the nice books she had read. She used to beg for flowers, and he brought them to her In lavish pro fusion, and she would twine the red rose* and the white lilies In her black hair, and fasten knots of them upon her bosom. All memory of the dark two years Just past seemed to have fled from her; she never alluded to any past save that which crowned the years of her childhood. Hut If a stranger ventured Into her presence, then all was changed. It was frightful to see her. Her eyes became like livid coals, her fair face purpled, her pale lips were drawn away from the sharp, white teeth, and she took on all the form of an Infuriate demon. It was the first of September—a wild night of storm and wet. Ralph had re tired early, hut there was no sleep for him. He bad fallen Into a kind of wak ing dream, when he was aroused by what seemed to him like the stealthy closing of a door. He started up and listened, but all was still, save the roar of the waves on the beach and the thunder of the wind In the chimneys. He must have been deceived, he sntd to himself. He was absolutely getting weak and nervous. He lay hack and composed himself to sleep. Hut In vain. He thought of Imogen**. Perhaps he had forgotten to secure her door prop erly when he look up her supper. He sprang out of bed, threw on a dressing gown, and hurried up to the third story. He tried the door, it was fast, ile listened at the keyhole.

He ruahed toward her, tearing away j the blazing obstacles that intervened between them, but even as he laid bis hand upon her, she fell forward into ; the surging sea of Are, and then the smoke and flame closed over every thing. Ralph's loud cry of horror brought tha servants to the spot, and the llamee were stayed; but when they lifted Iui ogene up, she was past all aid. In this world she would never suffer more. i They burled her lu the old graveyard ; by the sea, and with her they burled ; her great crime. It was never after I mentioned In the family. (The end.) A NATURAL LIFE BELT. Air iuj'rlail Inilor tha Skin Hill Float a Man. Dr. Scbnelder-Prelswerk, In Basle, has discovered a novel means of sav ing life lu marine accidents, which It generally used will probably lessen greatly the number of lives lost by such accidents, says the Philadelphia Record. His Invention has been pronounced j very Important by the French Acad- . emy of Sciences, which lu one of their i last meetings listened very attentively | to a lecture by Dr. Lanveraux upon the j new Invention. The Inventor does ' away with all artificial belts and other 1 floating appliances; he proposes to In flate the cellular texture beneath the human skin on the breast, which, If filled with air. forms a natural pneu matic belt, by the aid of which one may not only float himself but even support another body. The Idea Is said to be perfectly practicable. It has been proved that a man weighing 100 pounds, whose specific weight Is between 1.08 j and 1.10. whose head may weigh seven . pound!, need! only about 200 cubic I Inches of air within hi! body In order , to float with the head out of the water. : This amount of air la easily inserted into this hollow apace beneath the skin with Dr. Schneider’! aseptic syr inges, which will in one Injection in flate from twenty to thirty-five cubic Inches of air. The Introduction of the point, which Is only two millimeters thick, will hardly be felt. Such a pump Is not even necessary. It Is much sim pler to use a little apparatus, also pat ented by Dr. Schneider, which consists of a hollow needle, a thin rubber hose eighteen inches long, Into which this needle Is Inserted. A little aseptic | cotton placed Into the open end of the I rubber hose Is all that is necessary. The skin la simply raised, the hollow | needle Introduced Into It, and then the other end of the rubber hose Is taken Into the mouth and the man's own breath blown into It. Two deep res- ; piratlona, which are blown Into each side of the breast, will be sufficient to float a man, however heavy. Dlan't Know III* Nrlicliltor. Jonathan has been Into the Maine \ wrods eighteen seasons, and his occu- 1 patlon there has been gathering spruce gum. He builds a cabin In the fall when he is about to begin work In a new territory. It Is generally a small one, but he takes great pains to make it one that can easily be kept warm. One year he passed five months without see ing a human being, and at the end of that time he found that another rnan had been In camp less than two miles from his all winter. They did not see rach other's tracks for the reason that the other fellow was trapping, and con fined his Journeylngs to a valley where large stream and Its branches gave ! him a field for his operations. Two miles away Mr. Stone lived in his little camp on the edge of a big spruce j growth, and In following this he went j away from. Instead of toward, his neighbor, the trapper. When they had j finished their season’s work and got 1 acquainted coming out, they told each ; other of the lonesome evenings passed j u. their respective camps.

"Ten o’clock Monday morning, and the washing ain’t out yet. It ain’t the way your poor mother used to keep house, Hector. Eh? Where are you going now?" Hector Hay Id? had left the ox-yoke he wan mending, and crossed thegreen door-yard with a rapid step, to take the heaped up clothes-basket from the hands of a pretty, slender young worn, an who had just emerged from the li it < dnnr. The old man uttered an audible 1 snort of disgust. “Well, I never!" he said. “If Hector hain’t left his work to wail on tiiat wife o' liisn! It ain’t a man's work to carry clot hes out, no way you can fix it. If you do it once, you’ll be expected to do it twice. And Hector’s wife is clean spoiled a’ready. It ain’t the way I managed matters when 1 was first marrid to Hector’s motliei. What ye been don'!” sharply, as the young man returned to his work. “The basket was too tieavy for Cyn thia to carry," said Hector, curtly. “I wish I could afford to keep a girl for her." “A girl!” Mr. Bayliff's voice betray ed mingled astonishment and con tempt. “A girl! Your mother—’’ “Yes, I know, father,” interrupted Hector, “liut things have changed since then, and perhaps mother would be alive now if tiie liousework had not worn tier out before tier time.” "That’s a downright flying in the face of Providence," said Mr. Baylitr, reddening to tiie roots of his snuff, Iron-gray hair. "It was the fjord’s will that your mother should be took away, and there ain’t nosort otdoubt but tiiat. she’s hotter oil. And Cyn thia won’t never stand in her shoes, no way you can look at it!” Hector Bayliff made no reply, but took up his ox yoke and went across the fields with it. “Father may sav what lie pleases," he said to himself, "but mother died of overwork and under care, and nothing else. Tiie household duties are too heavy for Cynthia, and I must see what can be done to lighten them. No woman shall be drudged to death under this root now." Cynthia Hough had been a pretty young factory girl when Hector Bay lift married her. fehe had been igno rant of the details of housekeeping, but. she had exerted herself to learn. Old Mr. Bayliff. however, was an ex acting critic and the Bayliff farm house was a big, rambl big,inconvenient place, where one might work hard ail day' and have very little to show for it at the end. And the tired look in tier eye and the weary llush on her cheek went to Hector’s heart at times. “My darling," said ho, “I wish 1 could make things easier for you." il/U.

"Cynthia,” said lie, "this won't do, you must go and stay with your mother a week or t wo and r« st.” "Hui what will you do, Hector?” "We'll keep ha. helms' hall, father and I,” waul the young man, cheerily.

I look around this kitchen, and tell me what you would do if you lived here.” , Mrs. Perkins took a leisurely survey | of the premises, letting her eyes rest on one portion after another with meditative slowness. “Well?” said Hector. "In the first place,” said Mrs Per- ; kens, “1 wouldn't have this room for | a kitchen at all, if I lived here. It's . damp.” "Damp?” echoed Hector. “As blue mould,” answered the ora- j cle. “The cellar under it isn’t proper- | iy drained, I am certain. And the j windows look to the north, and I don't suppose there’s an hour's sun shine hu l all day. No; make a store place or something of this room, and take the sitting-room for a kitchen, where there's a bright out-look to the south, and a good cement cellar un derneath.” “I nover thought of that,” said Hec- i tor. “Well, what else?” "Where do you get your water?" asked Mrs. Perkins. “From the spring under the hill.” "Do you mean that your wife has to bring all the water you use up that hill?” "Except the wash-water. That she dips out from the hogshead under the eaves,” explained Hector, rather dis co mil ted. "My goodness me!” exclained Mrs. Perkins, wringing her plump hands in comical dismay; that’s enough to break down any woman's constitu tion!” "It's what we’ve always done,” said Hector. “1 bring a cot^ile of pails in the morning before I go to work, and after I come home, but—” "Nonsense! a mere hop in the buck et!” said Mrs. Perkins. “What you want is a sink with water pip's laid from the spring, and a good cis tern with a pump in the kitchen, and a washing-machine,—” "What’s that?” aNk<-d Hector. "We’ll show vmi one if vnu’ll come over to our house,” said Luzon Per kins, cheerfully. •'And stationary tubs in thecellar,” added Mrs. Perkins, “and a hot wa ter boiler hack of the stove. That'* the way to break down work instead of work breaking you down.” “I'll do it,” said Hector. "I’ll have these things all fixed up while Cynthia is at tier mother's if you’ll just help me with your experience." Mrs.‘Perkins nodded approvingly. "It will add ten year* to Cynthia’s life,” said she. Old Silas shook his head more stren uously than ever when lie heard of these new plans. • Hector, ’ said he, "I believe you’re gone crazyl The old ways were good enough for your mother; J should think they’d ire good enough for your wife.” But Hector was firm, and the oil man lost his tember at last. "I can't stay here and see you makin’ ducks and drakes of the place,” said lie. "If you’re goin’ to set up your wife for an idol and wor ship her, I sha’n't stand by and see it- I’ll go to Ohio and visit my brother Klnatban’s folks; and we'll see where all these tine notions will bring you up. Any how, you needn’t look to my money to get you out of the poor-house. "No, father, I will not," said Hec tor. And after he was gone the repairs and improvements went on in good earnest. Silas BaylifI had intended to slay a year in Ohio; but either the climate diil not agree with him, or lie did not agree with brother Klnat ban's folks, for he returned home some months be fore be was expected. "There ain’t no place like home,” said Bilan; and bless me, bow bright and nice things do look here! And I declare, Cynthia, you're like another woman! Your cheeks are as red as roses, and you step around as spry *• as any cricket.” "Yes, father,” said Cynthia, “the im provements in the house have made everything so much easier for me. I get the work done in half the timeand , with quarter of the trouble.” BaylifT lo keil around. "The improvements, eh!” said he.
