Sweet maid, good night." MISS RIYINGTON. "It is for such women I would possess neither chivalry nor mercy. Awoman who counts the effect of every intona­ tion, every smile, every glance--who trades .. upon her beauty and man's Weakness as the passing amusement of an hour--whose self-power is her sole duty." , It was a harsh criticism, and Horace Winter's voice unconsciously hardened as he uttered it. It was to his fiancee that he spoke. Perhaps to another he would have been more guarded; but there was no softening in his handsome face as he looked down from his splen­ did height to the slight, girlish figure who laid one little hand pleadingly on his arm. "You are unjust to Maude, Horace," she said. "It is not like your usual judgment of women. Did I not know you better I should say you almost feared the power you so ruthlessly con­ demn." "No, darling. I despise Maude Riv- ington as a woman unwoitthy her wom­ anhood--a woman who seems to me, in the strange, incongruous friendship be­ tween you, like some gorrmoiis poison- plant beside a pure white rose" in its half-blossomed lovoliness. I wish--" But Horace Winters' wish was never uttered. At that instant the portiere dividing the library from the music- room was brushed aside. In the former apartment, where the two bad stood to­ gether, the gathering twilight had al­ ready half hidden the room in shadow, but the semi-darkness failed to hide the marvelous and transcendent beauty of the third comer upon the scene. How long had she stood there? How mucn had she heard ? Instantly Miss Mathers, her hostess-- divined--nothing. It would have been impossible otherwise, she reasoned, for her to come forward with that radiant smile, and, outstretching her hands to the blaze, from the logs in the fire-* place, utter some commonplace about the dreary November promise of an early winter. But the man thought--nay, knew differently. The woman had spoken, I have said, a commonplace; that is, so the words written would seem. In re­ ality, nothing that fell from the rich, crimson, smiling lips ever appeared so. Something of her own rare, piquant- charm invested all she said or did; but in this moment, even while the low, sweet musical voice broke the silence, the vio­ let eyes upraised themselves in an in­ stant into her censor's face, not with a challenge, but pathetic with a mute ap­ peal--such a look, perhaps, as over­ spread Csesar's face when he looked up and knew that his friend had slain him. In all his life no man had ever ac­ cused Horace Winters of being a cow­ ard, but in this moment he felt himself such. Had he really been ungenerous, and toward a woman ? Could he have been mistaken in the estimate he had formed, when he had deemed Miss Rivington a beautiful, soulless statue, using- her arts but in the destruction of men? An instant he let the doubt enter like a sxvord thrust into his soul, then he sternly barred it out. Had he forgotten tliat she was an actress, that for the mo­ ment lie was ready to let her acting de­ ceive him like tlig rest ? "You are cold, dear ? You have been out?" questioned her friend, glancing^ at the tiny fur-bordered cap resting on her small exquisitely poised head. "Yes, I have been walking. I went to my room to write some letters, but the pap^r looked so cold and unresponsive that I felt quite sure that nothing I could .put upon it would make it less so. I Relieve, too,"-- this with a rippling laugh--"that I grew weary of myself and of my own thoughts and thought to get awav from both. I fear, however, my success could scarcely be construed into a triumph." ; "May I claim one waltz, Miss Riving­ ton, or is your card already full ?" She glanced up, hesitated an instant, "then handed him her card. Every space > as filled save one--a waltz half way .down the programme. How happened that one coveted dance to be undisposed of? ' "I am fortunate," he said; with a ring ;i(j>f quiet and unconscious sarcasm in his Voice; and, hastily scribbling his name, lie handed back the now-completed card, bowed and returned. " Thank you, dear!" whispered Helen, when he had found his way back to her. But somehow the words jarred on his Car. Now and then he knew that Helen Mathers did not quite fill his heart as another might have filled it. It was the case of the man adored rather than a man adoring. He had known her for many years. He knew her to be pure and sweet and womanly. The betrayal of her heart's Secret, unconsciously to herself, caused lis generosity to respond and ask her to be his wife. The question had well-nigh stunned her. She had sometimes felt she was living some dream whose awakening must soon follow. In her sight her lover was unlike all other men, and stood a prince among them. His strength, his manhood, were in her eyes infinite--only equaled by his in­ tense and unselfish tenderness. The evening was half at an end when, from its hidden recess, the band clashed forth its harmonious summohs to the waltz against which his name was in­ scribed upon Miss Rivington's card. Before its introduction was finished he was prompt to claim his premise. She spoke no word as she tyrose and permitted him to encircle the slender waist with his arm. Together they floated round the room. She danced most exquisitely. He scarcely felt her weight as she leaned upon him. He looked down upon the perfect beauty of her face and recognized its wonderful, potent charm. A subtle perfume of violets was wafted to his senses; his heart beat heavily. Merciful heaven! had he, too, gone mad. that this woman could move him thus ? And yet neither had broken the si­ lence ; but, with the waltz half ended, she spoke: "It is warm here," she said. "Will you take me into the hall ?" Instantly he complied. She knew the house well, and led the war into an ante-room, for the moment de­ serted. Then she turned and faced him. "I want to ask you," she .said, "why you will not be my friend ?" He knew that hi% suspicion of the af­ ternoon had been correct--that she hard heasd. all that he had said of her. Once again the sense of almost cowardice smote him. -Then he grew hard. "You have many victims," he answered. "Do vou sigh still for another onvour list?" "You forget that Helen is my friend, and I am hers," she said reproachfully. The long lashes swept her cheeks, but he fancied that, for an instant ere they had fallen, he had detected the glimmer of unshed tears. The sight stirred his inmost pulses. He caught her bare white arm in his grasp. "Do not tempt me," he murmured, in low, intense tones. "If I loved you, I would kill you did your glance rest on others as I have seen it rest." , A moment before he would have thought himself incapable, not only of such a speech, but the motive to induce it, but something within him, which through all the thirty years of his ex­ istence had lain dormant, suddenly wakened into life. The possibility of joy akin to ecstasy revealed itself as twin to the possibility of pain so great that beside it all other suffering dwindled into insignificance- nay more, into nothingness. He had seen this woman daily for three weeks, during which times he had been the (guest of his betrothed. He had seen her Wonderful power and its ruth­ less exercise. Could it be possible that all this time he, too, had been under its sway, or was it the momentary spell of the serpent which allured and held him ?" "If we had known each other earlier," she murmured, "this might have been different. Now--now, it is the only ought- have been. "What do you mean?" he said hoarse­ ly, carried away by an impulse stronger than his strength. " Can it be you might have cared for me ? Why, then, are all men your lawful game ?" "You have been cold and cruel," she replied. " How else could I hide my wounds ?" " Answer--you love me ? Maude! my 'ove! my queen! answer me!" I write to toy good-by. I am not strong enough to pnt it into spoken words. I have done you but one wrong --the wrong of loving you. I heard your condemnation of me to Helen. I longed to show you that, -however it might be with others, it was not so at least with you. I--I meant to tell you, when I asked you to take me from the ball-room, that I was engaged to be married to a man much older than my­ self, but who was very good and kind. Alas! you know how differently the in­ terview ended for us both. There is but one way left us, dear--to purt, and never look upon the other's face again: Never let Helen suspect the truth. It would break her heart. I think at this moment I can guess something of what the pain of a breaking heart might be. Yet I, too, go to redeem mv plighted word. I have made to Helen some excuse for the man I am to marry, asking that the cer- mony be immediate. I must shield my­ self behind another's strength. I began this letter two hours since; I had tossed it down, determined to give up all rather than my new and exquisite jov, when Helen came to my room. Why' was it that she talked of you? She showed me her heart, and you filled it. Remem­ ber this always when you are tempted to think of me. My love! my love! Good-by! God bless you!" Was this, too. acting?

An instant's shadow crossed the love­ ly face, then she stretched out her hand and let it barely touch Helen Mathers' fair young cheek ere it fell again. "You are too good to me, dear; but I promise my weariness will not be appar­ ent at the ball. Who could imagine Maude Rivington weary when music and dancing were on the tapis? Beside, ma chere, I am quite recovered already. I have had a tonic administered since I left my room, and one that can hardly fail to take effect." Before Helen could ask the nature of the stimulant, the butler announced dinner, and the conversation dropped. • * . * * * • "Ask Maude to dance, Horace. She is my guest, dear. It is the merest cour­ tesy. Do it for my sake." These were the hurrjpd words Miss Mathers found a moment to whisper in her lover's ear, a half hour after they ' had entered Mrs. Howard's brilliantly- iHuminat-ed dra^-ving-rooms. The man glanced across them now to a distant corner, where stood the woman surrounded by a little crowd of men. Conscious always of Maud Riv­ ington's beauty, to-night it dazzled him. She was dressed all in white, unrelieved by any spot of color, save a bright crim­ son stain upon/Slecheek, and the rich ruby of her lip#. The violet eyes had darkened almost I to blackness; but, though she had laughed at her weari­ ness as a jest, something still suggested it in the shadows about the sweeping lashes and the drooping corners of the exquisite mouth. With a shrug of his handsome shoul­ ders Horace crossed to her side. The little group made way for him to tnalra one of themselves. A" . J He no longer sought to hide the truth I from himself or her--he loved for the first and only time in his life. No false idea of honor swayed him. With his heart another's, it would be dishonora­ ble indeed to wed any woman, least of all one that trusted him as fully as the girl who, even at this moment, dreamed her sweet dreams for the future. To destroy them was dishonor--yes, but to go on deceiving her, now that he knew the truth1, greater dishonor still. "You love me? Answer me!" he said. He saw the graceful figure tremble as with a sudden chill. The bright spot on her cheek had faded; even her lips had paled. Slowly, slowly the veiled lids un­ closed, and the violet eyes were revealed to him. In them he read his answer. For one moment he clasped her in his embrace--it seemed to him his very soul opened to receive her--a moment only, then she drew herself away. "You have forgotten--Helen!" she said; and for the first time her voice had lost its sweetness in its strained and harsh intensity. "I have forgotten nothing," he re­ plied. "Helen shall know all ere she sleeps to-night. She is too generous not to forgive." " No, no; she must not know to-night!" she pleaded. "Wait until the morrow- wait until I ^h'ave seen you again.

The sha<lows had deepened about the l.v:iittiftil eyes, the sweet mouth quiv­ ered. He stooped and kissed it Vith reverent tenderness. Ten minutes later she was being driven rapidly homeward, both windows of the carriage thrown open, and the cool night air blowing freely in upon her bare neck and arms, her head thrown back among the cushions, and the hot tears raiding unheeded down the lovely cheeks. The next morning, ere Horace Winters had risen, a servant brought him a let­ ter, which was marked "Immediate." He opened it hastily and turned to the signature. It was, as he surmised, from Maude Rivington. and ran thus * Railroaders' Relief. That most comfortable Ticket Office, 187 j West street. New York, is presided over by I Mr. C. V. V.

Epitheioma, or skin cancer, is entitled to he classed with the other corcinomie, or cancer proper. Its seat is always in the skin, or mucous membrane, or both and it may force itself into the deef>er structures, invading lymphatic and oth­ er glands, and infiltrating the surround­ ing tissues. It is essentially a disease of middle age, the tendency to it in­ creasing as age advances. It is gener- erally occasioned by the long-continaed or frequently repeated application of an irritant, as in the case of Senator Hill, who had the peculiar habit of holding a cigar almost constantly in his mouth, and keeping the uicotine-coated end against the left side of his tongue. This was, no doubt, the exciting cause in his case. It is well known that the Senator inherited a predisposition to cancer, having lost a sister several years ago by the same disease. Many instances are on record where the disease has been traced to a short-stemmed pipe. Each of the millions of little round cells is a section of epitheloma, endowed with the power of reproduction, and the cells migrate and colonize, and feed upon the surrounding tissues. Alxrat three years ago, Senator Hill observed a little fissure on the right sid£ of his tongue. Aside from slight painluT^ oasional inconvenience nothings was thought of it. As it grew worse he con­ sulted a physician, ;uid was told that it would soon heal. Had Senator Hill re­ moved the exciting cause, by removing the ever-present cigar, the chances are that it would have healed kindly. Soon an ulcer formed, and the construction of tissue and life began. The disease grew daily worse. Finally, after a long and fatal delay, his friends induced him to visit Prof. S, D. Gross, of this city, only to hear the great snrgeon pro­ nounce those ominous words--"too late."--Philadelphia Press.
