There was dinner on the tabic, and I asked

OUT IS THE STORM.
She stood with the open letter in her
hand, trembling and ashen-pale, and at
last had to clutch at the nearest chair to
keep herself from falling.
It is all over!" she cried, after a
while, putting her hand to her forehead
with a dazed look; all over all over!
And yet, oh, how I loved him!"
The match between Lydia Trentham
and Leonard Drake had been a runa
way one. Her family was richer than
his, and ambitious that she should make
a great alliance, for she was beautiful
and accomplished, and had such a
charming manner that every body
raved about her. When, therefore, she
fell in love with Leonard Drake, who
had but a comparatively small com
petence, and no business knowledge
whatever, her father angrily bade her
to dismiss such a lover forever from her
thoughts. But with Lydia, as with most
romantic girls, this stern decree acted
only as an incentive. She thought her
father unjust, and went on loving Drake
more than ever. Finally she eloped.
From that day her parents looked on
her as on the dead.
" She has made her bed, let her lie in
it," said her father, savagely.
There liad been only one cloud on the
happiness of the wife. She had come
to her husband penniless when h'e had a
right to expect a fortune, and she fear

For weeks she had struggled against j culties, forged my husband's name to a
conviction, hoping towards the last large amount, and was on the point of
asainit hone, until this day. when she
had found a Urn and crumpled letter
hidden between the pages of a book, the
first words of which drove her almost
insane. She remembered now that she
had surprised her husband that morn
ing reading a letter which, to her aston
ishment, he had shuflled into an open
volume before him, but she had not no
ticed what book it was, and it was by
accident only she now discovered it.
It was but the part of a letter, how
ever, that the found. The paper had
evidently been torn into several pieces,
and only a portion had been thrust into
the book, as if (so she reasoned now)
her husband's agitation had deprived
him for the moment of his self-control.
Under any other circumstances a paper
belonging to Leonard would have been
sacred to her, but when she saw tbe first
significant words, 44 Wo must keep the
secret," she read Mrs. Dorchester's sig
nature at the end.
Much was lost, all was more or less
incoherent, but enough remained to
convince the tortured wife that every
thing was over for her in the way of
happiness in this world.
She remained there for nearly half an
hour, dazed, crushed, not knowing as
yet what to do. The door opened at
last and old Dorcas came in. Old Dor
cas had been Lydia's nurse and had fol
lowed her after hur marriage, the only
one, poor or rich, that had stuck to her
fallen fortunes. She started back on
seeing the ashly face of her mistress.
44 What is it?" said Lydia, rousing
herself.
44 A note from Mr. Drake," was the
reply. "But, deary me! are you ill,
ma'am?"
44 No, I am quite well," answered the
poor wife with a great effort. 44 Ab, I
see that Mr. Drake writes he is going to
join a party to go up to Dover not to
return till night, if I will excuse his
coming back to dinner."
44 Yes," Dorcas said vaguely.
44 The man who brought the note
waits for an answer. Tell him to say
to Mr. Drake, 4Go, by all means.1 I
haven't time or I would write."
Dorcas started off, but her mistress's
voice again made her pause.
44 When you have sent him away
come to my room I want you," said
Lydia.
There was a little delay, but when
Dorcas entered the room her mistress
was busy with a traveling-bag.
44 Dorcas," she said, 4,you have been
with me all my life do you want to re
main with me still?"
The voice was so cold, the face so
white, Dorcas dared make no scene.
44 I'll go with you to the world's end,
ma'am!" she answered, feelingly.
44 Then get ready. I am going to
Boston on from there as fast as I can.
Tell nobody. Get your things out of
the house as secretly as possible."
4 4 Going ? Where ? What is the mat
ter?" groaned Dorcas.
44 If you can't be quiet and obey with
out a question you must stay behind,"
Lydia answered, in the same hard, un
natural voice. 4tBo quick and choose
I have no time to waste."
She sat down and wrote a letter to
her husband, inclosed the torn pages
she had found, and poured out the mad
jealousy of the past weeks that had this
day culminated.
44 1 have done now," she wrote.
44 People were right: you loved her, and
not me; and now that she is rich and I
am poor, I am too proud to wait till I
am cast off. So I go, and you need not
follow; you could not find me even if
you wished. Remember that hence
forth your life is free from me. Think
of me as dead, if you like. -In your
hands is the only proof of our marriage
destroy it; nothing will then stand
between you asd peace. I have only to
beg you to forgive me for allowing you
to link your fate with a miserable and
impoverished wife instead of with an
heiress, as you hoped."
The letter ended as abruptly as it be
gan and was sealed and placed on
Drake's writing-table. Dorcas came
softly into the room, crying a little in a
auiet way. Every thing was ready
ley could go.
Late that evening Leonard Drake re
turned to be horrified by the news that
his wife was not there, though the do
mestic had supposed, from what Dorcas
said, that she and her mistress had gone
to Dover to meet Mr. Drake. Leonard
took a light and hurried to his room
where the first object that met his eyes
was the letter Lydia had written.
Five years had elapsed since Lydia's
disappearance. But she looked older
even than that. The agony of that day ;
the horrid flight afterwards; the con
stant fear of discovery, and lastly the
struggle for bread, combined with her
never-ending heartache, had begun to
cut wrinkles in her still fair face.
In all of this time she had never
heard of her husband, nor of her early
home. She was too proud to return to
her father.
44 1 will starve first," she often said,
clenching her hands.
Whether Leonard was alive or dead
she did not know, nor did she wish to
know. Sometimes she said to herself,
moaning on her pillow at night, 44 He
is with Mrs. Dorchester," and the
thought went through her heart with
actual physical pain, like the stab oi a
knife.
She and her faithful Dorcas were
settled in Boston now, in an obscure
corner, as the least likely place to be
discovered. She earned a scanty liv
ing, and it was of the scantiest, by color
ing photographs. Into the more fash
ionable streets she never ventured, ex
cept when she had to go to sell her
sketches, or- to get orders. On one of
these occasions she came suddenly face

The adairs then came into my hand to
settle."
Lydia sat leaning both elbows on the
tabie before her, her face supported on
her hands, listening and looking as if at
her doomster.
"I could have prosecuted your father,
but it would have sent him to die in
prison," continued Mrs. Dorchester,
44 and would have publicly disgraced all
his family. You I knew, by name, a
the wife of my cousin, with whom I
had been brought up in the country as
a child, and whom 1 loved as a brother
as a brother, uotbing more," she add
ed, emphatically. Besides, I was a
woman, and 1 hope not a cruel one. So
I refused to prosecute, suffered the loss
of the money, and hushed the matter
up."
A groan burst from Lydia.
Mrs. Dorchester went on: 44Thea I
met your husband unexpectedly. He
had received some hints about your
father, and he insisted on knowing the
truth. He then said you ought to be
told. But I replied that it would only
pain you needlessly ; if you continued
estranged you might never hear the
story- He answered that it would come
to your ears, sooner or later. This is
whj you saw us talking so much togeth
er, and why, on several occasionB, he
sought private interviews with me.
One evening he nearly won my consent.
But hardly had he gone before I repent
ed I shrank from it, you see, as a
woman and I wrote to him, telling
him he must still keep our secret.
That letter, it seems, or a portion ef it,
you found. He was tearing it up,
when you came into the room, and he
put what was left of it hastily into a
book that lay nigh, as he afterwards re
membered. As book, as he could he
hurried to consult me. You were, he
said, getting jealous; you evidently
misunaerstood us ; and he must tell the
whole story now, in justice to himself.
I was engaged with a party to Dover,
and the room was full ; so he joined us,
in order to have an opportunity to say
all this. Of course, in this crisis, my
scruples gave way. My reward is that
vou have believed me a vile woman.
There, that's the whole. I've told the
story, perhaps, in a hard way; I'm sor
ry for you, all the same. Thank God,
I've found you! "
She had risen while speaking, and
caught Lydia's dress in the excitement
of telling her hurried tale. Lydia's
gaze, which at first had been fixed on
her so angrily, had fallen before her;
she had buried her face in her hands;
and now, as Mrs. Dorchester ceased,
the wretched listener sank senseless to
the floor.
When Lydia revived, Mrs. Dorches
ter finished. Leonard Drake had spent
three years in searching for his wife, and
the last time Mrs. Dorchester had heard
from him he was living in Morrisania,
N. Y.
The next morning saw Lydia and
Dorcas on their way to New York.
It had been snowing when they reach
ed the metropolis and by the time they
left the railway train which they had
taken in Morrisania it had settled into
a heavy storm. Lydia wanted to walk ;
so Dorcas wrapped a water-proof cloak
about her, drew the hood over her head
andMid her best to shelter her.
44 Ask how we go!" was all her mis
tress said. 44 Be quick I. want to start;
but I must walk I should go mad."
Dorcas stepped into a hotel near the
station and made her inquiries. The
road was straight enough. Mr. Leon
ard Drake, she was told, lived out be
yond the town a little; she would know
the place by such and such directions.
They were less than half an hour on
the way. They reached the mansion, a
handsome dwelling, half town-house,
half villa, with a long garden attached.
They mounted the steps and Dorcas rang
the bell.
44 You ask," she heard her mistress
whisper.
She caught a sight of her fa e. It was
lined and seamed with pain ; the dark
eyes fairly strained and dilated with
suspense.
44 Is Mr. Leoaard Drake in?" Dorcas
asked.
4 No ; he is in New York. Mrs. Drake
is at home."
Instinctively Dorcas reached out her
arm to support Lydia as she asked,
4 Who is that his mother?"
44 No; his wife. Do you want to see
her?" asked the servant rather curtly,
teginning to think them people in
search of charity and not liking to en
counter the cold air.
44 No," Dorcas said. 4 How long has
he been married?"
44 About six months."
A low, choked whisper from her com
panion reached Dorcas. It said, 44Come
away! Quick! Come!"
Dorcas turned without a word and
supported her mistress down the stops.
Lydia did not speak. Dorcas could
not. She put her arm about her mis
tress and drew her on as fast as she
could. The house stood in a plot of
ground by itself. They turned the cor
ner, where the garden led down a side
street.
Wait!" said Lydia, suddenly. 4I
can't go any further; let me rest a lit
tle. Only don't speak to me don't say
a word"
They sat down on the jattingline of
stone that supported the iron fence,
Dorcas -half sustaining her mistress,
who crouched forward, hiding her face
with one hand. Dorcas bent over to
seethe face it was distorted by an
guish. Mistress, dear!" she sobbed, 4 On
ly speak only "
4Hu3h!" muttered Lydia. Come
awayi I can walk now. Let me alone;
don't talk jet. Help me ap; I cas
walk."
Boreas was au&tiag her to rke, when
a gestlessan tamed isto the street a lit
tle way dowa and walked rapidly to
wards them.
Muffled though he was is aij great
coat, Dorcas knew him and ottered a
cry of terror.
44 It's his step," whispered Lydia.
44 Sit down he'a not know a! I
"omised never to trouble him ! I Kturt
kP -r word. Dom't look up, Dorcas.

Still no answer! Some mad idea that
she could pull Dorcai away, and run
from him, heized Lvdia. She attempt
ed it. The hood fefl from her face. He
knew her, and cried, Lydia, Lydia!"
She felt that she was fainting; that
he had caught her in his annj; then an
awful blackness cloted over her.
When consciousness came back she
thought at first she must be dead : then
she knew that she w in a warm, bright
room. She saw Dorcas, a joung, pret
ty lady near the bed, then Leonard,
and shrieked aloud.
She was held fast in his arms again ;
his voice sounded close to her ear.
44 Lie still, darling; it's all clear. My

IILMS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Parisian method of cleaning
- black silk is to brush and wipe it thor-
ougniy, lay it on a uai taoie, wuu iuo
side up which is intended to show, and
sponge with hot coffee strained through
muslin. Allow it to become partially
dry, then iron. J
The prudent housewife who, on ac
count of 44hard times," has decided
not to repaper the sitting-room, as de
sirable, will find the old paper very
much improved in appearance by sira
ply rubbing it well with a flannel cloth
dipped in oatmeal.
Persons troubled with feet that per
spire or smell offensively cin effect a
cure by bathing them every night or
oftener in a strong solution of borax.
Two or three weeks of this treatment
will probably be found sufficient.
- If you want to renovate black gren
adine, take strong, cold coffee, (train it,
and wring the grenadine out of it quite
tight, after which shake out and fold
up ; then iron it with a moderately hot
iron over a piece of old black material.
To remove grease from silk, take a
lump of magnesia, and rub it wet over
the spot; let it dry, then brush the pow
der off, and the spot wili disappear; or,
take a visiting card, separate it, and rub
the spot with the soft internal part, and
it will disappear without taking the
gloss off the silk.
When you cook the supper, think
of the breakfast at the same time. While
boiling the kettle for tea, make the
mush to fry in the morning, or cook
half a dozen potatoes. All like thin
slices of mush fried brown, and the po
tatoes should be sliced the long way and
fried in butter; cook slowly and brown
nicely-
Among other problems the mis
tresses of old-fashioned houses are call
ed upon to solve is the papering of walls
that have been whitewashed. This may
be done by scraping off all the loose
lime and apply with a whitewash-brush
to tbe surface of the walls a coat of siz
ing i. e., glue-water, made in about
the proportion of h pound of glue to 8
gallons of water.
Soiled and dingy carpets can be
cleaned and brightened by scrubbing
them with ammonia, borax and ox-gall
mixed in the proportions of one table
spoonful each to every quart of warm
water. Sponge over or scrub, accord
ing as the carpet is soiled, amall por
tion at a time, and dry this with a clean
cloth (woolen) before proceeding to wet
another. When there are pronounced
grease spots on the carpet remove these,
previous to cleaning the entire surface,
with the same preparation, minus half
the water. Ammonia and borax now
come prepared especially for cleaning
purposes and at reduced prices. The
ox-gall can be obtained at any paint
store or of butchers. The merits of
sapolio are too well understood by this
time to require specification. In clean
ing wood-work, carpets, etc., give the
preference to woolen cloths, and next
after these heavy cotton ones. Freshen
up all the oil-cloth as soon as tacked
down with a coat of varnish.

New silk bows for taVroal -j

terial of the drcs and its trimmiS
Thus a cream colored satis bow has its
jabot shape made partly of this satia
and partly of olive gren, both of which
are held by i traps and loops of brocade
in which these colors combine. The
ends of the satin are cut in sharp trideal
points.
Louis XIII. stvlcs have made their
appearance, aad it b thought will take
the lead next fall. They are quite se
vere, the trained skirt showing no
flounces or drapery, but having many
rows of narrow gold braid, which is
carried round the bottom and continued
up the front. Loops of ribbon trim
ming, deep basques and jackets, large
pockets, rich buttons and large collars
belong to this era.
Trained underskirts are not now
worn either morning or evening. Even
with trained dresses the balayeusc rea
ders the trained skirt unnecessary, and
for dancing the short skirt, with the in
terior piaiungs, are infinitely more con
venient. The newest "dress-improvers"
are depressed at the top and pro
vided with flouncci at tbe bottom.which
button on, and can be taken off at pleas
ure. The now parasol, writes Jennie
June, is a piece of expensive absurdity,
as ugly as it is possible for a parasol to
be. Its size is awkward too large for
a sunshade, not large enough for pro
tection from showers. The shape is
k
tibs, which destroy all elegance of
lect, no matter now costly me material
may be. To complete the list of it
enormities, it is made in zebra stripes

An elegant parasol, just imported, is a
very rich figured black silk, considera
bly larger than the Japanese style.-,
and surrounded by a border of band
some Spanish lace, in which the prin
cipal part of the derign is a so.id leaf
The figure in the silk is large, but only
partly in relief. The handle is of ebony,
with a little inlaying of pearl in the form S

Very small cottage-shaped bonnets
and the pieturesque large shapes have
both been adopted, as milliners predict
ed they would be. Some of the dressi
est bonnets to be worn with various cos
tumes are small close shapes of Tuscan
straw, or else ecru chip, trimmed with
loops of cream-colored satin ribbon and
a wide Breton lace barbe that forms a

side the brim is shirred satin, and the .
flowers on top are either chrysanthe-
mums or roses. This is a
charminir 1
bonnet to wear with elaborate costumes
o
f black grenadine, silk, and satin The
beaded lace bonnets to wear with va
rious dress ei are either close shapes, or
else they have Marie Antoinette 'flaring
ftonts; these are also most often trim
med with white chrysanthemums, lily
buds, roses, and a barbe of Breton lace.
Simpler bonnets of black chip are edg
ed with beaded lace, or else they are
daintily trimmed with a jabot of India
muslin and lace on the right side, some
saucy perked-up loops of black satin
ribbon on the left, a bunch of white li
lacs or of chrysanthemums on top, and
four narrow strings, two of which are
white satin ribben and two black. In
side the brim is shirred black satin, on
which rests a row of white Breton lace.
To make this still lighter, tbe brim may
be faced with shirred white muslin.
Other black chip bonnets have an Alsv
cian bow and strings made of a white
Breton lace barbe; this is quite far
back oa the crown, while in front of it
is a cluster of black ostrich tips; tbe
brim is edged with large jet beads, and
a crescent of jet is in the center of the
lace bow. For light mourning are very
dressy bonnets of black chip, trimmed
with black China crape edged with
black Breton lace. The crape is twined I
around the crown, and held by jet l
stars. A wing is stack in the back j
quite low down. Harpcr't Bazar.
We are environed with a thousand
influences that threaten our lives. Cold
seeks to benumb us heat to burn us
miasm to envelop us ia its deadly man
tle poison lurks ia the things we daily
taste and handle while contagion
stalks threateningly on either naad. j
The power that overcomes all these dan-1
