The sun had advanced jogt -high enough in the heavens to pour down Ma mildest and Warmest beams, and the near village Wd the ddetant hills were bathed in the golden light, as, of old, the fair tread its beauty forth for t's admiring eyes. It was a blessed day. The most flreless heart could but drink in its loanty in a thankful mood; the fresh, mat air brought a color to the most pallid cheek. It was hard to look out «pon the glorious scene and realize that a world so lovely and so fair Should be the home and haunt of all that was contemptible and base--that the serpent Slander and the gaunt fiend Care, and the demon of Murder, with his red right hand, could fling a Shadow over all this beauty and cause •ach heart that had loved it once, al­ most to curse its memory In after •" Hoars. And yet, even the singing of the ttithe birds on that lovely winter's day teemed to say that this might be so-- seemed to say that the little children •porting joyously in the village street might lire to feel that blighting scorn which worldly spirits only understand; that those pleasant rustic homes, scat­ tered like visible blessings here and there, might be the haunts of vfiends in human form, and the burial place of the heart's beet affections. For the singing of the birds, in some Strange way, seemed to speak that morning of one sorely tried and tempt­ ed in her earthly pilgrimage, but now at rest where no earthly malice could disturb her--of one whose sweet eyes would have gazed in calm contempla­ tion on that lovely scene, had no false words ever kindled the flame of love within her breast, and then left it to go out in darkness, in bitterness, In tears and death! Yet, on that lovely day, a deed ap­ parently unsuited to the sylvan love­ liness of the scene, was about to be done. On that day, the record of the past was to be rudely searched--the grave made to give up its secrets and Its dead. Having undertaken the task, Mr. Cowley was determined to accomplish It; and yet, he would have given worlds, as the hour drew nigh, that he had never meddled with the mat­ ter--never come to Hollow Ash Hall. His nephew also seemed nervous and ill at ease. As for the ladles, they scarcely spoke, but sat huddled together over the drawing-room fire-- all except Rose, and she was wander­ ing over the house like an uneasy spirit, till a$ last they missed her en­ tirely. The morning was rapidly waning away, and at last Mr. Cowley rose from his easy-chair with the air of a man who had made up his mind be­ yond the power of a change. "Come, Charles, let us get It over," lie said, gravely. They went out into the hall. Rose met them there, and by her side stood a tall and handsome gentleman, with A foreign air and appearance. "Father," said the girl eagerly, come back into the library for a moment. This gentleman knows the secret of the haunted house, and is about to tell It to you." Mr. Cowley started, as well he might. "And who may this gentleman be?" he asked, somewhat stiffly. "A friend of the Vernons," was the quick reply. "Let him tety you the st<yy of the haunted room." They went back into the library to­ gether, and this was the substance of the story which he told them of the dead girl, the ruined family, and the deserted house: / • • • • • * Marion Bscouit had been a favored Child from the very hour of her birth. True, her young mother died that she might live, but a sister that another, (too* and pure as she, took the infant 0* »eor fceart, and cherished It for the fiUfc* of the dead. Marlon's aunt was •fi? of earth's saints, and, under her lovllif care the child grew mild, and good tod gentle--beloved by every one Who knew her. Her father was an old man, and, being the possessor of great wealth, he chose to indulge his only and darling child in every wish she expressed. He seemed but to live that he might please her; yet, strange to Shy, in spite of all this injudicious fondness, she was quite unspoiled. A slight touch of haughtiness there mlgfet have been in her manner, but ate was no more to blame for that tfcaa that her eyes were so large and dark, or her form so reed-like and graceful. With the „ beauty of her mother, she had inherited the stately manner of her father, and though she moved amongher friends with the state­ ly dignity of a young princess, no one jeeemed disposed to quarrel with what became her so well, and was so sweetly tempered with modesty and gentleness, and all good gifts. . Tears passed on and added the arch, fascinations of girlhood to her other •harms. Her playmates were forced to select their cavaliers from the list of her rejected lovers, and yet her fceart seemed all untouched. J ' At lest she made her choice. It sur­ prised every one. Her second cousin, Vernon, a graceless, drinking dieting Oxfprd student, won the tM»fV»e for which so many had longed In vr-fTk Won it almost without an effort on bin pert--won it without kndVrffej? vf Kg valve, or knowing how to apf*e<f«tt5 !t. Whew by the *d«fce of a deer friend •he fcn t̂ at her fatter** feet and told him of fyer !ov% th% tr?d man burst Into * storm of atig%», threatened her With the low of heme and friends; threatened her also With his own curse; hut it was all In Vain! She She inherited «U his pride and haughtiness, though these qualities had been kept in the background by the gentle teachings of her aunt; and when he attempted to thwart her dearest wishes so openly and determinedly, her pride and will were aroused, and her soul opposed in all its native fierceness to his own. That night, she fled! The morning brought a letter from her, saying that she had choeen to share poverty with her lover, rather than enjoy wealth without him. At the same time she prayed her father not to cast her ut­ terly from his heart, but to think of her In kindness and mercy, for the sake of the long and happy years they had left behind them forever. Marlon was by no means one to be discarded and forgotton where she had once been loved, and though at first her stern old father forbade all men­ tion of her name and threatened to disinherit her at once, her memory, gentle, kind and loving as she had al­ ways been till that fatal night, grad­ ually disarmed him, and by degrees they came to speak of her again around the home hearth, and to send many a loving wish and thought to follow h«r In her wanderings. It may be that her tether felt that he had driven her to desperation by his harshness, for as time softened the first sting of agony, he grew more kind and gentle, and often encouraged his faithful housekeeper to sit and talk for hours with him of her they had both loved so well. At that time, if she had returned, he would gladly have welcomed and forgiven her. But ah! as the poet says, "if only the dead could know at what hour "To come back and be forgiven!" They do not know, nor do the liv­ ing, till the appointed time has gone by, afid either the forgiveness or the time for receiving it has passed away. No tidings came directly from Marion --her father did not even know the exact place of her residence. A flying rumor reached him now and then; but all was uncertain and mysterious; and at last even this scanty informa­ tion ceased, and her name was spoken softly and tenderly, as "The household name Of one whom God has taken." Her father mourned for her silently, but sincerely; and all could see by the bending of the stately form and the silver threads that glistened in his jetty hair, how the estrangement, and silence, and separation were eating hlB very life away! Her life should have been a happy gentleman who is supposed to be mixed up with the affairs of mortals, who must, I think, have laughed in his sleeve when chance sent a young widow to dwell in the vicinity of the newly married pair. " She was a woman of good birth and high family, though so reduced in cir­ cumstances as to be obliged to add to her scanty income by private tuition in the more genteel families around Banley. She was a fine classical schol­ ar, an artist, an authoress, and, in addition, danced like a fairy, played and sunk like an angel, and rode like Die Vernon herself. Her tall, elegant figure, her deep mourning, the easy grace of her motions and lhe dignity of her manners had already moved George Vernon strangely, and though she was a brilliant rather than a beau­ tiful women, with her wondrous smile, her flashing eyes, her bewitching manners and easy grace, she placed him where she had so often placed his betters--at her feet! The dusky gentleman of whom I have already alluded, having his im­ plements upon the ground, lost no time in using them. Mr. Vernon and the governess met often, and It needed no spoken word to tell the enchantress all he was feeling. His words--his sighs --the long ardent glances of his hand­ some hazel eyes, told the story only too well, and smiling sometimes to herself at this new proof of her power of fascination, she gave him some slight encouragement from time to time. He did not love her, and yet, at last, he walked up and down his room at midnight, thinking, while she was sleeping quietly and would have laughed heartily at his employment had she known It He was only doing what a thousand men have done be­ fore him--what a thousand more will do after him--flinging himself at the feet of a woman who would lead him through a tempest of passion and leave him at last bankrupt of faith, of feel­ ing and honesty, and all else that to the noble heart makes life at all worth living. CHAPTER XIX. And all this time what was Marlon doing? This house was even more lonely then than it is now. There were few country seats around, and even with their tenants, Mr. Vernon had little or no intimacy. People did not quite un­ derstand him or his position. There were rumors afloat that touched his character closely; and even Marion was supposed to be--not a lady, a rel­ ative and his wife--but a person of in­ ferior birth; some even thought her a servant, who had consented to reside with him without troubling herself about the formal ceremony of mar­ riage. He must have known that this was the general impression, and yet he never contradicted it in any way. So no one evef came to the Hall, and Marion wondered a little at the un­ social neighborhood and heard nothing for a long time of the dangerous Inti­ macy her Indifferent husband had formed. At last the tale leaked out through the good offices of her own maid. She was shocked and indignant, but some­ thing Impelled her to seek Mr. Vernon *t once and know the truth. She went down into the study, where he was lounging in an easy chair, smoking a cigar, and thinking, probahly, much less of Mrs. Vernon than of Mrs. Moore. He laid aside the cigar and she sat down beside him and began fesffeopeiea* task. • . ty.x <** * best and hinillikĵ gentlest, are cowardly la Ht dialings With worn en, and will evsift * downright In­ quiry if it is In their power to do so. It happened, therefore, aa a mere mat­ ter of course, that Mr. Vernon told his wife an abeolute falsehood, and made her believe at laet that she had been slandered, by the reports she had heard --highly colored ones, let us own. She believed him. But the next day both he and Mrs. Moore were missing. The had fled to Australia together. The shock drove Marlon mad for the time. And In her frenty she destroyed the life of her infant, which was horn before she recovered. (To be continued.) TRAMP STEAMER'S CHANCB. Bd Awaiting OtnlopBAlt AaanrtMt'a Iibwd Ports* In Leslie's appears a most interest­ ing article upon the possibilities of Chicago as a seaport The author, W. D. Hulbert, sums up hiB argument by remarking that when all is said and done, the facts remain that transporta­ tion by water is almost invariably cheaper than by land, and that at least a portion of a cargo--say from 1,500 to 2,000 tons--can be carried through the WeOand and St Lawrence canals without breaking bulk. The lat­ ter point is of vital importance, especi­ ally in shipments of fragile goods which will not bear much handling. The delays In passing the canals will be counterbalanced to some extent by the delays which now take place in New York custom house. It is even claimed that, because of the'length of time required to get merchandise through the crowded warehouses of New York, goodB from Europe can be delivered at the lake ports more promptly by way of the St Lawrence than by the present routes. As to the comparatively small size of the steam­ ers, that may prove to be in some cases a positive advantage, for it will en­ able them, like the Wergeland, to visit lesser European ports which now have no direct communication with Ameri­ ca--cities too small to absorb the car­ go of a larger steamship, or to furnish her with a load for her return trip. Even if the traffic should not be as satisfactory as desired in 1901, it may succeed the following year. Just now marine freight rates are very high, and there is a great demand for steam­ ers, especially on the ocean, but this condition of things cannot last always. Sooner or later a change must come, and the cargo no longer will be seek­ ing a ship, but the ship a cargo. And then the owners and masters of me­ dium-sized steamers will turn their at­ tention to this fresh water route, stretching from Montreal 1600 miles into the very heart of the North Amer­ ican continent DUeovered a fJaefal Maui . ' " ,:- Like many other useful inventions, the art of bottling beer was discovered by mere accident. It is attributed to Alexander Nowell, head master of Woodbridge school, England, who was noted for his erudition, his piety and his penchant for angling. His por­ trait in the hall of Brasenose college, r \ rep. .ssents him with his bible before him and his fishing rods on either side, and bears the inscription, Plscator Hominum. It appears that once while Ashing, as his habit was at Hadham, he mislaid his bottle of ale in the long grass on the banks of the river Ash. Stumbling upon it some time afterward he found it, in the quaint words of Fuller, "not a bottle, but a gun, such the sound of it when opened, and this, as casualty is the mother of more inventions than indus­ try, is' believed the original of bottled ale in England." Nowell was present­ ed to the living of Great Hadham in 1562, and the date of his discovery must be about 1530. PrmchN for H»r HiubmnU. Wearied and almost ready to col­ lapse from overwork, Rev.

She conducted her entire service for her husband and her sermon was in­ teresting from beginning to end.

The arsenic appeared to be present partly in a soluble and partly in an in­ soluble form.

Then Jamie's father gave the dog to a kind uttle girl who lived down the street The children were asked: Who had the best right to the dog, the father, Jam­ ie, or the little girl, and why? In an­ swering this question seventy per cent of the boys and fifty-seven per cent of the girls thought the little girl had the best right to the dog; forty-four per cent of the children thought, ben cause Jamie had been so cruel in neg­ lecting to feed the dog, he did not de­ serve it. This seems to weaken the theory commonly held that children are cruel by nature. About twenty-five per cent thought the father had the best right to the dog, saying that he had paid for the dog, and he was older and would take better care of it. About eight per cent said Jamie had the best right, because when a thing is given away you can't take it back again.
