HILARIE GRAEME. : % A Z'$. She was standing, when I first n« under one of tine gmcd old trees irting the grounds of Beech Hall, the home of my fair fiancee Clare Bsresford, jk> visit whom a happy commingling of duty and pleasure had lured me from Iowa this fair June morning. Glare had • duly informed me of the installation- of her orphan cousin Hilarie as a member off the family and a dependent upon Mr. Bedford's bounty, and had also de­ scribe;! her as an " uninteresting, edd- ^mpered girl of seventeen." " Odd-tempered," she might be, I - decided, noting the haughty curve of the •lender white throat, the tstern, set ex- eession of the delicate red lips, and the ooding paesion in the large, dusky «yes of the tall girl under the beeches, out ** uninteresting!" Scarcely, my dear Clare. A shaft of golden Bunlight through branches above illumined an untidy Wealth of rippling brown hair, caressed •lender, listless hands, from which had Stridently slipped to her tiny feet the Jgtrge 5UT1 hat she was too carcless or too i|Ue to wear, and the immature beauty «if the proud young faoe, the willowy grace of the si -luier figure in its dingy gray grown, destitute of bow or frill or ijnyof the usu<J feminine adornments, interested me strangely. r T Still leaning against the tree, she "l&zily watched my approaoh, apparently * ' OKpecting me to pass on to the hall %ithott^ best-owing more than a passing . Iflanee upon herself, but, determined to •peak with her, I made a short detour • from the path, and, moro amused than disconcerted by the expression of mingled furiosity and defiance which quickly Overspread her features, I said with the Utmost gallantry at my command : "Pardon me, but can you inform me any of the family are at the Hall to- .•wllay ? I am not expected, and all seems ^Hinusually still." - "Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Beres- Ibrd and Clare are all within, and, •' though not expected, Mr. Forrester is iitare to be a welome guest." "You have guessed my name," I re- tw»-.0lied, smiling. . " What if I return the ' compliment to Miss Hilarie Graeme? -*^s^fou see I have heard of you too." "Of course you would hear of the MN jieresfoids' bete noir," she said--oh, so jfeitterly. ^ "Nay," I protested, "no such epithet v - lias been assigned you, Miss Graeme, be- •^*4|eve me." ; "Not exactly that, perhaps, bat Sufficient to let yon know that I at least v&<!|m not welcome here." For a moment Glare's expressions, '̂ ^uninteresting" and "odd-tempered," flitted before me, but when I would have - '̂ Spoken, Hilarie stopped me with a pas- Sionate gesture of disdain, saying: - . j r " S p a r e y o u r w o r d s , M r .

I wss never very good, but y/i|ow, I am growing hard and bad, and so wretched that in time I shall be- a hateful, wicked girl.

I 0 r |rea8oned with her Idndly, but earnestly, ^ ""tipon the follv of the course she would pursue, pointing out ways and means for inaking her present life at least more en- I• durable; and. on inquiring deeper into 1'.Vjier manner of occupying the long hours * • $he spent alone, I found, as I suspected, filie had passed them chiefly in desultory •gambles about the hall grounds and the ^ylieighboring country, all the while brood- ; 'ffSng darkly over her uncongenial sur- •^'Irohndingis, while she bed utter!v near- j*|ectect tustes ana pursuits wmcn mignt iS^ave lent a charm to solitude.

Ah, that delightful saoming in Alton Woods the first of many saeh when Hilarie and I was ortlered, sketchbook in Band, among the toll, straight pines, the shadows of their murmuring branches flecked with amber gleams of sunlight, or threaded our way through fern and bracken to some specially dainty bit of woodland scenery, where seated on a fallen tree-trunk, or moss-grown bowlder, with wavinsr errasses around her and velvet masses at her feet, i.ilane Graeme seemed to my excited fancy the embodi­ ment of some fairy denizen of the forest. None knew but ourselves of these daily meetings. Though no words had passed between as to the need of secrecy, we had tacitly accepted it as a fact, and apparently our mutual indifference to each other when in the society of the Boresfords was as marked as ever. Sometimes my conscience smote me that in her sweet innocence Hilarie sub­ mitted herself so entirely to my guidance, for I knew if we were discovered hard things might be said of her, but I was prepared to defend her with my life if need be, and hall and wood being so isolated discovery was scarcely to be feared. Days had lengthened into weeks, until more than a month had elapsed since my arrival at Beech Hall, and still Clare urged me to "stay a little longer," and I against my better judgment stayed on, unable to deny myself those blissful hours spent with Hilarie, my beautiful love. Yes, it had come to that. I knew now that Hilarie was more to me than Clare ever had been or ever could be, and the knowledge that I was in honor bound to the one and dare not reveal my secret to the other was daily, hourly torture to me. Heaven knows I tried hard then to be loyal to my troth; but Clare's evidences of affection grew daily more distasteful to me, and I found my­ self constan tly comparing her unfavorably with beautiful, high-souled Hilarie. I fancied, too, that my betrothed had be­ come conscious of some change in the Warmth of manner toward her, for lat­ terly she became strangely pale and i>xiono<eyed, while a new eliagiag ten­ derness ia her demeanor towards me seemed a conscious reproach to my faith­ lessness. .Yet how could I wound sensi­ tive Hilarie by suddenly ending those meetings in Alton Woods. Clearly it was my duty to return to town at once, and on the afternoon of the day on which I arrived at this determination I went for a last stroll through the grounds, foing mechanically in the direction of Iton Woods. I came suddenly upon Hilaire, who seemed intently reading or examining a scrap of writing in her hand. She started and crimsoned guiltily, I thought, at my approaoh, crushing the paper ruthlessly in her hand. Half jealous, I inquired: «' Have I surprised a secret, Hilarie ?" "No," she answered, still confused, " they were merely some lines 1 had written." ^ "Hilaiatt a poeteeaf* I exclaimed, laughing. ~ " Scribimu8indocti doctique poemata passim," she answered playfully, and the incident faded from my mind, to be when and how recalled I little then im­ agined. Hilarie received the news of my ap­ proaching departure in a strangely silent mood, which piqued me not a lit­ tle, especially when I found she was ab­ sent from the dinner-tablo on this, the last night of my stay. Clare, too, was away. When i had communicated to her my resolve to leave by the 12 :50 train on the morrow she had kissed me as though she were losing me forever, and her white, wtin face and pitiful blue eyes touched me so deeply that I had taken her in my arms and kissed away her tears, promising to return long be­ fore the day fixed for our wedding. "Oil, Gerald !" she sobbed, " I could not give you up, dear, now," and again I wondered could she have guessed my secret. Still pale and trembling with agitation she had gone to her room ; and at dinner her maid informed us that Miss Clare had given orders not to be disturbed, and Hilarie, being inquired for, was found to have gone out some hours previously and had not yet re­ turned. Still, conversation was lively at the dinner-table, when we were sud­ denly startled by a hurried tramping of feet and a oonfusion of voices, broken suddenly by the unceremonious entrance of Mark Thompson, under gardner at the Hall, who, breathless with excite­ ment, informed us thai; "there was sum- mut wrong up at the Alton Woods, a man had been murdered, sur, and Miss Hilarie she be wi' him and sent me on for help." I was already at the door, my one thought of Hilarie, Mr. Beres ford and the men servants following, when Clare, white and shivering, met nio as though she would go with me. Slje looked so terribly ill that I begged her to return to her room; but she shook her head, saying, "I must go. Hilarie must not be there aloneand so Clare and I wera the first to reach the entrance of the wood, the ^rst to see Hilarie with her face buried 111 her hands kneeling beside the murdered man, sobbing bit­ terly. Clare turned suddenly away; but I sprang forward, crying, "Hilaire! ilaire ! appearance waft decidedly plebeian, and his coming to Beech Hall to claim his wife had aroused her dormant passion, and that in her dread of exposure she had first tried to obtain possession of the proof of her marriage, and stained her soul with murder. In the doctor's opinion the crime been committed during the afternoon of the dav upon which, the body was dis­ covered. Like a flash of fire there came to me the remembrance of t&iat meeting with Hilarie and her hasty concealment of the scrap of paper. I remember her guilty flush, her confused replies, and Heaven forgive me, for one brief moment I trembled lest she should be guilty of the horrible crime imputed to her. I drove the mad thought from me as un­ worthy my manhood and my love, and redoubled my unceasing efforts to estab­ lish her innocenoe. Hilarie from the first had refused te see me. I had writ­ ten, imploring her to speak, if only one word that might prove her innocent; but she wrote: "I can say nothing. I pray only that *you may be happy with Clare." And the terrible dark days fol­ lowed swiftly one upon the other, each adding to the subtile web of evidenoe they were weaving around my darling, until sometimes I fancied it must be some horrible dream from which 1 must wrelv soon awake. Yet there was Mrs. Beresford's bitter wailing for the dis­ grace upon her house, and Clare's terri­ ble pallor and mute, sorrowful despair, gave me an additional pang that I had brought double trouble upon her. There remained but one day now be­ fore that on which Hilarie was to appear In the felon's dock, and on the morning of that day Clare came to m^s with the old wistful tenderness of manner, and pressing her cold, white cheek to mine, so that I could not see her faoe, she said in a slow, sad voioe, "Gerald, if Hilarie dies, what will you do?" "Hilarie must not die!" I exclaimed passionately. Unheeding my worus, Clare continued: " Gould you not love me again, Ger­ ald?" Perhaps my sflenee answered her, for with a long, sobbing sigh she stooped and kissed my hand; but, when I would have taken hers in mine, she turned from me swiftly and harried from the room. I never looked upon her living face again. Late that night they brought her home, white and dripping, from the Mere, near Alton Woods, and with a letter addressed to me. 1 opened it with ehakiqg hands, and there fluttered at ray feet the missing fragment of her marriage certificate. Yes, hers; for, when joined, that which was thought to form part of the letter G was in reality part of the initial G in the name of Clare. "Hilarie Clare Beresford"-- Poor, sinful Glare, whom we had always called by her second same until we had forgotten that die too, was Hilarie. In her letter eh® told how she had grown to hate and fear tne man wno naa been the hero of her thoughtless school­ days, and had lured her into that fatal marriage ; how her love for me and dread of him had conquered all sense of right and wrong, until his threat of exposure had impelled her to commit the crime for which Hilarie Graeme stood aoensed. She told how Hilarie had met her com­ ing from the scene of the murder, and knew her to be guilty; how she had agreed to keep silent that I might be spared all pain and shame, and how, findiiur Hilarie had won the love Glare hod tiinned for, she had determined to seek rest and oblivion in the dark waters of the Mere. Need I dwell on the joy of that time which followed, when HiLtrle s mnoceuce was proclaimed and she was free to re­ turn to the home she had never thought to see again ? She wept bitterly for por>r Clare, and devoted all her time to the bereaved parents, until they grew to love her as their saving angel, and as the months rolled on peace and happi- uet-s returned to Jioecu Hull, aud tnat was a proud and blissful day to me when sweet Hilarie Graeme became Mrs. Gerald Forrester. The previous morning Hilarie had blushinglv placed in my hand a scrap of crumpled paper on which was written iu Hilarie's delicate caligraphy a few lines containing a passionate avowal of love for a certain "Gerald," which brought vividly to'my mind the moment when I had surprised Hilarie in the grounds of Beech Hall. " And was this the peper, Hilarie ?" "Yes, Gerald," she answered, blush­ ing rosier than before. " Oh, darling, why did you not show it to me then ?" I ask-d, rememburing that ngly doubt that once tempted, me. "Nay, dear," she whispered; "how could I let you know I loved you so ?" Aud somehow her answer contented itvpi,--Chi&itfo Tribune. _ fv ~ Hilaire Oh, the agony of toe white, streaming face lifted to my own, as she tottered to her feet, crying out wildly, "Oh, why did you come here?" and with a low, sobbing cry, she reeled and fell insensi­ ble into my arms.

The influence of the storm may extend over a diameter rarely ie«B than 160 miles, and sometimes as great as 400 miles. At the extreme outer edge of the cyclone the force of the wind may be only moderate, but it will be governed by toe same laws and marked by the same phenomena as at a point nearer the center, differing only in degree. Th« speed of the revolution varies, even at the central point, but it ia believed thai 100 miles an hoar has been known to have been reached. The forward mo­ tion is also variable in speed, the distance covered in a day rangi* ̂from 100 to 400 Utiles. It is desirable to keep at a disc tanoe from the center, and it is possible for a vessel to take such advantage of a cyclone as to cany a fair wind, not too boisterous, for several days in its influ­ ence. The object of every vessel is to avoid the dangerous field of the cyclone at the least oost of time aud distance. In the southern hemisphere the direc­ tion of the rotation of the wind is the same as that of the hands of a watch, from left to right; while in the north­ ern hemisphere the direction is reversed. This rale ia invariable. The indications whioh denote the approach of a cyclone are a rapidly felling barometer, a "steadi­ ly shifting wind, increasing in force, and a certain appearance of the sky and sea which can be lenrned only by experi­ ence. When a seaman is satisfied that he is within the influence of a cyclone, his first care should be to learn the bear­ ing of its oenter and the direction in which it is traveling. In the northern hemisphere let him face the wind, and the center will bear just 90 degrees to the right. He must then determine whether he is on the right hand or the left-hand side of the storm's forward movement, and this can be learned by toe following rule : Watch the wind ; if the shifts occur from north to east, east to south, Bouth to west, or west to north, you are on the right-hand Bide of the storm's course; if they occur from north to west, west to south, south to east, or east to north, you are on the left-hand side. This ride is invariable, except iu the unusual instance of a steamer running in the same general direction as toe cyclone, and at a higher speed. ilaving determined that he ia within a cyclone's influence, and having learned op which side of its course he is, a Cap- flht should at once put his ship on that cone whioh will carry him away from the okhter, and IWpthat coarse until he has ewotiy es3#e3 toe k&viest^ttind, or until (as may be possible) he finds that he must "lie to. In "lying to" he must adopt this invariable rule : If on the left-hand side of the cyclone's course " lie to" on the port tack; if on the right-hand side "lie to" on the star­ board tack. Every shift of wind will then draw aft instead of catching the ship aback, and, if the previous rule has been complied with, the Captain will have done all that is possible for his ship's safety. During the cyclone months a constant watch upon the barometer should be kept, sinoe the earlier that the presence of a cyclone is knov.n, the more easily it is avoided. A steamer should not hesitate to go even 100 miies out of its course rather than run into a cyclone's center or near it, and if this precaution is observed no steamer heed be lost in one.

Now, with a population of 91,000f the quantity of opium sold is 8,500 pounds, and 6,500 oucces of morphia.

By mid­ day a long fence was festooned from point to point of its triangular rail tops, with a ribbon-like ladder of gossamer, along which ran the spiders." jvonfejooilj ttaafttMni fa 1 On,tbeGmt4 tensive stsbtes. hones is ai hotse.
