To go to I-Minbtirgh would take hor
too far from her liulovcil dead, while
thu thought of living with Miss Heth
erlngton at Aiuuinilule Castle positively
appalled her. She said "No."
The lady of tho Onstlu rceeled the
iefunal kindly, saying, that although
Mnrjorle could not take up her resi
dence at the Castle, she must not alto
gether avoid It.
"Come when you wish, my bairn,"
concluded tho old lady. "You'll aye be
welcome. Wo uro both lonely women
now, nnd must comfort one another."
During the first few days, however,
Marjorle did not go. She sat at home
during the day, and In the dusk of the
evening, when she believed no one
would see her, she went forth to visit
the churchyard and cry beside her foster-father's
grave. At length, how
.ever, she remembered the old lady's
kindly words, and putting on her bon
net and a thick veil, she one morning
-set out on u visit to Annnndnlo Cas
tle. Marjorle had not seen Miss Hether
lngton since that day she came down to
tho funeral; when, therefore, she was
isliown Into the lady's piescnce, she al
most uttered n frightened cry. There
sat tho grim mistress of the Castle In
state, hut looking r-s worn nnd faded
ns her faded surroundings. Her face
was pinched and worn, nH If with heart
eating grief or mortal disease. She
received tho girl fondly, yet with some
thing of her old Imperious mnnner, and
during the Interview she renewed the
offer of protection.
But Marjorle, after looking at the
dreary room nnd Its strange mistress,
gave a most decided negative.
, She remained with Miss Hetherlng
ton only a short time, and when she
left the Custle, her mind was so full of
solicitude that she walked along ut
terly oblivious to everything about her.
Suddenly she started and uttered a glad
cry of surprise. A man had touched
her on the shoulder, and, lifting her
eyes, sho beheld her lover.
The Frenchman was dressed as she
had last seen him, in plain black; his
face was pale and troubled. Morjorie,
feeling that new sense of desolation
upon her, drew near to his side.
"Ah, monsieur," she said, "you have
come at last."
Caussldlero did not embrace her, but
held her 'hands and patted them fondly,
while Marjorle, feeling comforted by
his very presence, allowed her tears to
flow unrestrainedly. He let her cry for
a time, then ho placed her hand upon
his arm and walked with her slowly In
the direction of the manse.
"My Marjorle," ho said, "my own
dear love! this has been n sore trial to
you, but you have borno It bravely.
I have seen you suffer, and I have suf
fered, too."
"You have seen, monsieur?"
"Yes, Marjorle. Did you think be--causc
I was silent I had forgotten? Ah,
no, my love. I have watched over you
always. I have seen you go forth at
night and cry as If your llttlo heart
would break. But I have said noth
ing, becauso I thought 'Such grief Is
sacred. I must watch and wait, nnd
I have waited."
"YeB, monsieur."
"But today, Marjorle, when I saw you
come from tho Castle with your face
all troubled ah, so troubled, my Mar
jorle I thought, 'I can wait no longer;
my little one needs me; she will tell
rae her grief, and now in her hour of
need I will help her.' So I have come,
Marjorle, and my little one will con
fide all her sorrows to me."
Then tho child In her helplessness
clung to nlm; for he loved her and
sympathized with her; and sho told
him tho full extent of her own desoln
tton. The Frenchman listened atten
tively whllo Hho spoke. When sho
ceased he clasped her hands moro fer
vently than before, and sold:
"Marjorle, come to my home!"
Sho started and drew her hands
away. She know what moro ho would
say, and It seemed to her sacrilege,
when tho clergyman had been so re
cently laid to his grave. Tho French
man, gathering from her faco tho stato
of her mind, continued prosaically
enough:
"I know It Is not n time to talk of
love, Majorie; but It Is a tlmo to talk
of marriage! When you were in
Edinburgh, you gavo mo your promiso,
and you said you loved me. I ask you
now, fulfill your promiso; let us be
come man and wife!"
"You wish mo to marry you now,
monsieur?"
"Ah, yes, Mnrjorle."
"Although I am a penniless, friend
less, homoless lass?"
"Whnt Is that to me, my dear? I
love you, and I wish you to my
wifel
"vim are very good."
"Marjorlo?"
"Yes."
"Toll mo, when will you make me the
happiest man nlivo?"
Marjorlo looked nt her blnck dress,
and her oyes filled with tears.
"I do not know I can not tell," Bite
said. "Not yet."
"En hlon! hut It must not ho long
delayed, Tho decrees of destiny hurry
us onward. You will soon bo thrust
from tho manse, aa you say, while I
must return to France."
"You are going away!"

"Most ussuredly 1 must soon go. My
future Is brightening before me, nnd
I am glad thank heaven! there are
few dark clouds looming ahead to sad
den our existence, my child. The ty
rant who desecrates France will ono
day full; meantime his advisers have
persuaded him to pardon many rwlltl
cal offenders, myself amongst them.
So I shall seo France again! Cod Is
good! When He restores me to iny
country he will give me also my wife.
Put your llttlo hand In mine and say,
'Leon. I trust you with all my heart.'
Soy It, my child, and, believe me, your
faith shall not be misplaced."
Ho held forth his hnnd to her, and
Marjorle. ticmbllngly raising her iyes
to his face, said in broken accents, "I
do trust you." So n second tlmo the
troth was plighted, and whether for
good or 111, Mnrjorln'H fate was sealed.

III!, any following
her final promise to
Caussldlero. Marjo
rlo received Intima
tion that the new
minister was coin
ing without delay
to take possession
of tho living. Her
Informant was Sol
omon Mucklebark
It, whose funereal
despair was tempered with a certain
lofty scorn.
On tho following Saturday arrived
tho now minister, prepared to olTlclate
for tho first time In the parish. Ho
was a youngish man, with red hair
and beard, and very pink complexion,
but his manners were unassuming and
good nntured. His wife nnd family, he
explained, were about to follow him In
about ten days; and In tho meantime
his furnlturo und other chattels wore
coming on by train. Shown over tho
manso by Solomon, he expressed no
little asto llshmont at finding only two
or three rooms furnished, and those
very barely.
"Mr. Lorraine never married?" ho In
quired, as they passed from room to
room.
"The meenlster wns a wise man," re
plied Solomon, ambiguously. "He lived
and he deo'd In Hinglo sanctity, ac
cording to .the holy commandments of
the Apostle Paul."
"Just so," said .Mr. Freeland, with a
smile. "Well, I shall find the manso
small enough for my belongings. Mis
tress Freeland has been used to a large
hoti&e, and wo shall need every room.
The chamber facing tho river, up stairs,
will make an excellent nursery."
"My ain bedroom!" muttered Solo
mon. "Wcel, weel, I'm better out of the
house."
At the service on tho following day
there wob a largo attendance to wel
como the new minister. Solomon occu
pied his usual place as precentor, and
his faco, as Mr. Freeland officiated
above him, was a study In its expres
sion of mingled scorn, humiliation and
despair. But the minister had a reso
nant voice, and n manner of thumping
the cushion which carried conviction to
the hearts of all unprejudiced observ
ers. The general verdict upon him,
when tho service was over, was that
he was the right man In the right
place, and "a grand preacher."
The congregation Blowly cleared
away, while Mujorlo, lingering bohlnd,
walked sadly to the grave of her old
foster-father, and stood looking upon
It through fastly-falllng tears. So rapt
was she In her own sorrow that she
did not hear a footstep behind hor, and
not till Caussidiere had come up and
taken her by the hand was she aware
of his presence.
"So the chango has come at last, my
Marjorle," ho said; "was I not right?
This place Is no longer a home for
you."
"Monsieur!"
"Call mo Leon. Shall we not bo man
and wife?"
But Marjorle only Bobbed.
"He wns so good. He was my first,
my only friend!''
"Peace bo with him," returned the
Frenchman, tenderly. "Ho loved you
dearly, mlgnonne, nnd I knew his only
wish would bo to seo you happy. Look
what I hold In my hand. A charm a
talisman parblcu, It Is llko the won
derful lamp of Alnddln, which will car
ry hb, as soon as you will, hundreds of
miles away,"
As ho spoke ho drew forth a folded
paper and smilingly held it before her.
"What Is It, nvmslour?" she nsked,
perploxed.
"No; you must call me Leon then I
will toll you."
"What Is It Lean?"
"The special llc,nse, Marjorle, which
permits us to mniry when and whore
wo will."
Marjorlo started'and trembled, then
sho looked wildly ot tho grave,
"Not yet," she nurmured. "Do not
ask mo yot," t
He glanced round-no ono was near
eo with a quick movement he drew her
to him, and kissed ler fondly on the
lips. j
"You havo no lujnc now," ho cried;
"strangers conio t) displace yon, to
trrn you out Into 4ie cold world. But
y u have one whej loves you a thou
si id times bettor or 'your Borrow and
yc-ir poverty ah, jes, I know you are
po r! and who wjl bo your loving
protector till the eid."
Vie looked at him In wondar. AH,
ho'' good and kind he was! Knowing
hei miserable birth, seeing hor friend
less nnd nlmost cast away, ho would
Btlll o besldo her, to comfort and cher
ish 1 r with his deep affection. It alio
had iver doubted his sincerity, could
she d-ubt It now?
t
Hnlr an hour later Caussldlero was
walking rapidly In the direction of
Annum lie Castle Ho looked supreme
ly self-rUldflcd and happy, and humm
ed a IIr-t French air as ho wont.
Arriving nt tho door, ho knocked,
and the servlng-womnn appeared In an
swer to the numinous.
"Miss Hctherlngton, If you please."
"You canna seo her," was the sharp
reply. "What's your business?"
"Give her this card, If you please,
and tell her I must see her without
delny."
After some hesitation the woman car
ried tho-card away, first shutting the
door unceremoniously In the visitor's
face. Presently the door opened again,
and the woman beckoned him in.
He followed her along the gloomy
lobbies, and up stairs, till they reached
the desolate boudoir which he had en
tered on a former occasion.
Tho woman knocked.
' Come In," said the voice of her mis
tress. Caussldlero entered the chamber,
nnd found Miss Hctherlngton, wrapped
in nn old-fashioned morning gown,
seated In an nrm-chair nt her CBcrl
tolre. Parchments, loose papers nnd
packets of old letters lny scattered be
fore her. Sho wheeled her chair sharp
ly round as he entered, nnd fixed her
eyes upon the Frenchman's face. Sho
looked Inexpressibly wild nnd ghastly,
but her features woro an expression ot
Indomitable resolution.
Caussidiere bowed politely, then,
turning softly, he closed the door..
"What brings you here?" demanded
the lady of the Castle.
"I wish to see you, my lady," he re
turned. "First, let mo trust that you
arc better, and apologize .for having
disturbed you on such a day."
Miss Hetherlngton knitted her brows
nnd pointed with trembling forefinger
to n chair.
"Sit down" she said.
Caussldlero obeyed her, and sat
down, hat In hand. There was a pause,
broken at last by the lady's querulous
voice.
"Weel, speak! Have you lost your
tongue, man? What's your will with
mo?"
Caussldler3 replied with extreme
suavity:
"I am anxious, my lady, that all mis
understanding should cease between
us. To prove my sincerity, I will glv
you a pieco of news. I have asked Mlsi
Annan to marry me, and with your
consent she Is quite willing."
"What!" cried Miss Hetherlngton,
hulf rising from her chair, and then
sinking back with a gasp and a moan.
"Havo ye dared?"
Caussidiere gently inclined his head.
"And Marjorle she has dared to ac
cept ye, without warning me?"
"Pardon me, she la not aware that
you havo any right to bo consulted. I,
however, who acknowledge your right,
have come In her name to solicit your
kind approbation."
"And what do you threaten, man, It
I say no no a hundred times no?' "
Caussldlore shrugged his shoulders.
"Parbleu, I threaten nothing; I am a
gentleman, ns I havo told you. But
should you put obstacles In my way, It
may bo unpleasant for all concerned."
Miss Hetherlngton roso to her feet,
livid with rage, nnd shook her extend
ed hands In her tormentor's face.
"It's weel for you I'm no a man! If
I were a man, ye would never pass that
door agaln.llvlng! I defy ye I scorn
ye! Ye coward, to come hero and mo
lest a sick woman!"
'She tottered bb she spoke, and folj
back Into her chair.

Soft pine wood panels ot the desired

says tho Philadelphia Times. The next
step In tho process Is to cut stiff brown
paper panels the size of tho wooden

simple outline, conventional pattern.
If one Is not original enough to do
this alono, ask somo friend to draw

this Is done, lny tho paper on tho panel,

How many women, wno day lifter

to think what this Invention menns,
not only to them, but to the whole
"world? And do they know that nlnety
pcr cent of all the muchlnes made In
the world aro the product of this great
country of ours? Sewing machines
have revolutionized many brunches of
business, especially Is this the case
In all kinds ot leather work from the
heaviest harness to the lightest gloves.
A really first-class machine ready for
market costs about twenty dollars.
From this figure tho price drops to
about fourteen, with possibly twelve,
for the most Inferior grades of what nro
considered tolerable machines. Hun
dreds of thousands of persons make
their entire living by means of tho
sewing machine, and probably millions
are gainers by Its use. During a period
of over thirty years the value of the
exports of sewing machines was some
thing like seventy millions of dollars.
In 1896 they were considerably over
three millions. Three hundred and
fifty thousand pairs of shoes were
sewed by machinery prior to 1877, nnd
this product has multiplied almost
belief slnco that date.
