However, if she does not get better in a short time, I shall consult a doctor, and, if he says the place disagrees with her, we must move. it willbeapizywhavetodoao.sa1am sure you will agree vlth me that the house is delightfully comfortable and cheerful ; but of course her health is the most important cansideration. I don't want to look at things gloomily, though, and I hope and believe that in a few weeks, especially now you have come, she will be all right again." He spoke wi;h so much feeling, and I0 difl'srently from his usual flippant style, that Lucy was quite surpiiied, and won- dered whether i: was possible that she had been doing him an injustice. Certainly marriage seemed to have improved him wonderfully 1 They had a pleasant drive; and Lucy delighted her companion with her genuine admiration of his roams. “Yes, they are beautiful creatures are they not .’ I cannot tell you what a plea- sure they are to me. I am desperately fond of horses ; but I have never been able to indulge my hobby for want of means; now I have a s: .l i 1, thanks to deer Sarah’s generosity. Here we are at last 1" be added brightly, “Welcome to I’ernburst Lucy uttered an exclamation of plea- sure a: the first sight of the house. It was not particularly large, but it was very picturesque. The front was almost completely covrred by bright-looking ivy and creepers, and each window was ablaze with flows rs, the whole presents ing the appear-arcs of an enormous bou~ qnet. "What a delightful place i” cried Lucy impulsively. “It is quite a flowery bower. I cannot imagincany one feeling dull hero.” “I am glad to hero you say so," replied Edgar, helping her down from the phas- ton. “Come in through the conservatory; we shall find Sarah in her particular snuggery, I expect. Let us give here pleasant surprise." After passing through the conservatory and a pretty bright hell, they came to a door which "chmond opened gently. For I Is the first minute Lucy was dazzled by . the sudden change from strong sunlight to what seemed to her to be complete darkness. “Why, my dear,” said Edgar cheer- fully. liis oyes evidently more accustomed to those quick transfions, “you are in darkness new i" “chfif replied a wcavy voice ; “my head ached Eu, I was glad to get in here out of the glare.” “Well, you must let me throw a little light on ihe subjcc:, or our friend here will be failing overall the furniture; take care, Miss Lucy I" With this he pulled up a blind, and Mrs. Richmond. with a quick cry of plea- ’snrc, started off the sofa where she had been lying. "Ah, Lucy, my dear, how glad Iain to sue you 3 I thought you could not be hero for another half-hour. I did not intend rtcriving you in this gloomy way. Como upstairs, and ictmo show you your room." “We shall meet again at dinner-time,” said 1-) lgar. "l know/nu ladies will have pluily to tall with other, so I will keep nut of the ray until then." Although Lucy was to a certain extent prepared by what she had heard from Edgar, she was startled and shocked to find, when they emerged into the full light, the great change a few weeks had effected in her friend's appearance. She was thin and worn, and had dark shadows under her eyes, which were anxious in expression. She had, too, a habit, which Lucy never remembered to have noticed before, of starting painfully at any unexâ€" pected noise. Her face, however, was not: pale; but, on the contrary, slightly flush- ed. Lucy saw at once it would be wiser not to notice anything unusual in her ap- pearance. sc said. in an ordinary tone of interest, when thwy were settled in her friend's pretty roomâ€"â€" “I was sorry to hear, dear Mrs. Rich- mond, that you are not well ; your husband seems to think the change of air may have been too sudden for you i ' “Yes, he thinks so ; and pray lleavon it may to only that 3" she answered ifixciteuly, the flush deepening in her see. “But you don't feel seriously ill, do you i" irquircd Lucy anxiously. “No, not in any way that I can explain: but I am uneasy and restless, and a cloud acorns to have come over my happiness. I know it is perfectly unreasonable ; I have everything a Woman could have to make her ei-j iy life, and a devoted, kind husband." ‘ But can you assign no reason for this feeling of depression '1 ' asked Lucy. “Wolf, only one, and that I am almost ashamed to inintion oven to you. I would not have Elgar know it for the world ; he would think he had such a fool~ lsh, weak-mindod wife : and, besides, he would rcpros3h himself." "Please tell me what it is," urged Lucy. “i am sure you would feel easier if you had some one to whom you could monu.‘ n it. " “Well,” answe'cd Mrs. Richmond, glancing round nervously, “Edgar let out quite uninti ntionslly, the second day we were here. that this homo was supposed to be haunted. We were in the garden, looking at the ivy and window flowers; and i said what a pretty bright place it was. “i'cs.' he repliud, ‘not at all the conventional him of a haunted house, is 1’.“ Dirsczly l‘...‘ had sp )lu‘ll, i new be had made a miaiako, lul‘ he tried to change the subject at once ; but I would not have it, an: at last made him explain everything " Mrs. l‘lJlim'WIid than I'Mkbiul the same story Elgar bad io.d at Esatciiil'c. “At first," aim Clvllllhlltd, I did no: think much of it, as I have never been in the least superstitious ; but, somehow or or other. for the last week I have been getting more and mom unusy.

Hoping to distract her attention, she asked for news letters, and had not spoken, exceptto say of their travels, and they sat and chatted good-morning; but at this be put his pleasantly until it was time to dress for dinner. i All the evening Edgar devoted himself 5 to their amusement. and was so kind and ' heart quite warmed towards him, and she retired to rest feeling much Denied and rather out of conceit for herself. CHAPTER IV. The next morning Richmond and Lucy . breakfasted alone, as his wife was not well enough to come down so early. “It is a curious thing she is always so much worse in the morning, is it not '1' he said anxiously. “Perhaps it is a bad case of indiges- tion," suggested Lucy. “I have always heard dyspeptic people do feel worse in the morning, though, thank goodnus, I know nothing of it from my own exper- ience ; everything agrees with me." “And with me," he said; “but I should not wonder if you are right. I hope so, because there cannot be much difficulty in curing that. If she is not decidedly better In a day or two, I shall send for the doctorâ€"it is miserable to see her suffer like this. It seems too bad, too, tc have invited you to such a dull house," he continued kindly; “but I know you are too unselfish to require an apology, and I am sure your presence will do her more good than any number of doctors. Of course you wouldn’t notice i:, not hav- ing seen her lately ; but I assure you she was more cheerful last night than she has been for a week.” “She must have been dismal indeed, poor thing l" thought Lucy. After breakfast Edgar took her round the grounds, and showed her the stables and dog-kennels, in which she was as much interested as even he could have wished. That done, they returned to the house that he might prepare an effervesciug drink which his wife had every morning night this time, and again before going to b . “She enjoys it, and I think it must do good for but, don't you "i It is so beauti- fully refreshing, and she always seems thirsty. Five minutes afterwards she saw him go up stairs with a tumbler full of some delicious cresming liquid. “It is awfully tantalizing,” thought Lucy. “My walk has made me very hot. I wish he would offer me some ; but he seems so absorbed in her wants, I expect he never thought of me." In a minute or two she heard them com- ing down together, and hastened out to meet them. Mrs. Richmond looked about the same, though she said she felt a trifle better, and proposed that they all should go for a. drive. . “Perhaps a. blow by the son would do me good. I am quite ashamed of being such a wet blanket, Lucy dear, you must try to make yourself as happy as you can in the circumstances, and you must go about with Edgar. I shall not be jealous â€"â€"you may depend on that," she said, with a feeble smile. “But we do not mean to rest until we make you well eiicugh to go about with us,“ persisted Lucy. “We flatter our» selves we have diagnosed your case already ; have we not, Mr. Richmond? And we intend to have a. Consultation with a brother inedico in a day or two, if you "i... not better." “I ought to get better soon,” returned Mrs. Richmond, “with two such loving, cheerful companions.” “And so you will, my dearâ€"rely upon that i" said her husband kindly. They went for their drive, lunched at a little seaside village some miles off, and came back in time for dinner, pass- ing the evening in the same quiet, dull manner. “Upon my word," thought Lucy that night in her bedroom, “if this is going to be the usual style of thing, 1 must set myself some task to get through while I am here ; I shall simply stagnate, if I go on in this aimlessly quiet way for two months; it must be something dreadful for poor Edgar Richmonrl,â€"â€"realiy I can- nothst pilylng him, although he used not to be a favorite of mine.” The next evening a slight circumstince occurred, which, although it canard Lucy is little surprise, she scarcely noticed at the time ;afterwards, when every iriiiing incident connected with her visit became of importance, it came back to her. R ch- mond brought his wife lo: ( if rvcscing drink as usual, and she asked Lucy if she would not like one as well. “Yes, 1 really should,” said Lucy ; “iti looks so very tempting." "Well, then, Edgar will mix one for you, I am sure ; won‘t you dear ‘5" He had been so exceedingly polite and attentive thatthey were not at all prepar- ed for his showing a decided objection to do what they asked. “Oh, really, i must ask Miss Lucy to excuse me to-night. You know I cinnot undertake to provide unlimited iced drinks. You, deer, are privileged as an invalid." Although this was rather uncivli, he smiled so pleasantly while he spoke it was impossible to take offence. “Let Lucy have mine to-niglit, if she would like to taste it." A look of genuine alarm passed over his face as be interrupted hastilyâ€" “Nonsense, my dear, don't be fonlislil Of course Miss Lucy will not take what I have provided for you. To-morrow I will make her one. 1 would have done so to-night ; but the servants have gone to bed, and they only lei: materials enough for yours." With that he left the room, slamming the door crossly. "He must be in a very bad temper todo that," thought Lucy. “Ilo knows how it upsets his wife, and he is generally won- derfully careful." Mrs. Richmond however did not seem .it.' i the doctor today, and hear what he says. Elgar hadbeendeeply immersed in down suddenly, and said, in a harsh voiceâ€" “What efi’erveacing drink 2" “Ah, you have let the cat out of the bag, Lucy i” “What do you mean? Don’t talk riddles 1" he insisted his face growing pas. “Dear Edgar there is nothing to annoy You in the matter; Lucy had half my drink last night, that was all. I insisted upon “I am surprised you should have done so," he went on angrily, “when you knew I made it expressly for you, and meant you to drink it. You must have done it on purpose to irritate me." “Oh, Edgar. hiw can you say such un- kind things i I would not vex you for the world," said his wife showing a strong disposition to cry. “Ah, well. dear, I spoke hastily," he said, recovering his temper; “you must both forgive me! I have had worrying letters this morning. I am afraid I shall have to‘ go over to the Continent for a week or two, and I cannot hear the idea of leaving you until you are better, even in such good hands as Miss Lucy's. By- the-bye, that decides meâ€"we will have Unless he is reassuring, I shall not go, al. though I really ought to do so, for my manager has been letting my business met there get into a very queer state. What do you say to driving over to Lul- mouth and calling on Dr. Maurice? I hear he is a new man in these parts, and a very clever fellow." "Don't you think that is decidedly the best thing to do’i” said Lucy, appealingly, to Mrs. Richmond. “Yes, perhaps it is; but I would prefer that he came to to see me here ; so do you go with Elgar ; and, as I feel a little bet- ter this morning, I will go down and have a chat with Mrs. Mitchell, the house- keeper. If-l had not reliable servants, I don't know what would have become of us, as I have not been able to look after anything. There is not one of mine how- ever thut I cannot trust implicitly. 1 have known the younger ones since they were children, and all of them were brought up on my father's estate ; I be- lieve they are really sincerely attached to me.’ Directly the horses could be put to, Lucy and Edger started; and the brisk inwgorntiug breeze soon dispelled all her uncomfortable sensations. They had to wait a few minutes in Doctor Maurice's little drawing room, the servant telling them he was busy among his poorer pa- tients. “He attends to them every niornlng, gratis, for two hours, sir, and he never allows himself to be called away, except for an accident or sudden case of illness. He will have finished in five minutes, though ; and perhaps you and the young lady will sit down and look at the news- paper until he comes." "Isle must be an odd, independent sort of follow, to run the risk of losing good new patients while he attends to a lot of paupcrs l.’ remarked Edgar, when the girl had left them. “Yes, it certainly is unusual ; but it sounds as if he might be a thoroughly nice man ; I feel sure 1 shall like him ; and his room is delightful, isn’t it? Everything is so refined and pretty. I wonder whether he is married ? ' speculated Lucy. “ You would fancy a woman’s hand had been at Work here, wouldn’t you '1” she continued, walking about. “Ah, here are all Calde- cott’s books i I am so fond of them; are not you i ’ “No, I cannot say I see anything to make a fuss about, in them. Some of his horses are well drawn ; but his dogs are horrid mongrels." “But that is just the pleasure of them,” ' argued Lucy; "they are all so beautifully ug y." ' "Well, I do not believe you would find any one who really understood the points of a horse or dog care for them," said Ed- gar conclusively. He certainly had no sense of humor. ' I ' They were in the midst of this discus- sion when Doctor Maurice walked in. He was s gentlemanly, fair, clever-looking youngman, not at all lenrnediy profes- elcnnl in aspect. He apologized politely for keeping them waiting, and inquired in what way he could serve them. After hearing something of the nature of the case, he promised to be at Fernhurst early III the afternoon ; and Edgar and Lucy took their leave. ' “What do you think of him 7" asked Edgar. “Not a particularly impressive- locking person, is he ?" "I don’t know about that,“ replied Lacy. "I think he is decidedly hand- some, and there is something about his manner that inspires me with great con- fidence." - “L‘pon my word, Miss Lucy, you seem to be rather fetched by ouryoung friendl" said Edgar, laughing. “Oh, dear no, nothing of the sort i" protested 'Lucy, with unnecessary eager- ness, feeling in her dismay that she was blushing in a most suspicious manner. Edgar only chuckled in response ; and they hardly broke the silence again dur- ing their drive home. Directly they finished their lunch, Doctor Maurice was announced, and Rich- mond and Lucy left him with his patient. In about a quarter of an hour he rs-ad- mitted them. “Well, doctor, what do you think you will be able to do for my Wife l" inquired Elgar anxiously. “Everything, I hope," he answered, smilingkindiy. “Mrs. Richmond is suf- fering from a severe attack of nervous in- digestionâ€"not at all an uncommon com- plaintâ€"and I quite expect in a week or two she will be all right again.

I Progress in Electricity. Of all the force of nature, electricity is i toâ€"day playing the meet striking and im- you need I portant part in the material advancement of the race. 0 In telling what electricity Isa done in the past fiffyyeara, the inventor Elison says in a recent article, “Ithasstrengthen- ed the bond of international amity; it has quickencd all the methods cftrsde, and ten: ten-fold precision and celerity to the innumerable agencies by which it works. “ill: has breathed new vitality Into the arts and sciences ;it has even warmed and strengthened the social forces, and has been such a universal stimulus ea cannot be credited to any other purely phyaial agency in the world's history." Edison goes on to show how electricity, mainly in the telegraph and the telephone his iercted these results. The system of telegrapby is a far more perfect and (flinent one to-dsy than it was even ten years agot r . . Then but one message could be sent over the same wire at the same time. New, thanks to Edison's invention‘pf the quadruplex system, four messages may be sent simultaneously over the same wire and in opposite directions. Telegraphy, moreover, has' within re- centyears, been extended in its uses in many ways. The telegraph has been laid beneath the oceans, and now‘ encircles the earth ; it is utilized for local business in the cities ; it has been broughtinto demos. tic service, so in the cities one may at any time summon doctor, marketman fire man. or policemen. While the telephone is yetln its infancy, it has yet already become a first necessity to the people, ,both‘for business, and for private purposes There is now no city or large town in the country without its telephone station. ' The newest and one of the greatest triumphs of electricity is electiiolighting. The are lighthas come into very familiar use in the illumination of open spaces, streets and large buildings‘ ; while the in- candescent light is gradually beinga'doptod for domestic lighting in many parts of the country. <' Besides these uses, clectrcitylias recent- ly come to be employed in electroplating, electrotyping, in houses for'cail-bsils, pro tection‘from burglars, connecting clocks, lighting jets. and many other purposes. But the promise of what electricity is de- stined to achieve in the future, outstrips even what it has done in the past. In regard to this subtle agency cf nature, Edison declares that “ we stand today only on the threshold of its tremendous probabilities." In telegraphy he believes that a large number of messages will be sent over a wire at the same time ; and that messages will be so sent. that the handwriting ib- sslf of the sender will be transmitted. The telegraph printing machines will be improved to greater rapidity of action and submarine telegraphy will be brought to a higher efficiency. The telephone is also destined to be much more highly developed than it is to- day. The difficulty of telephoning to a great distance remains to be overcome. This arises from “the loss of the cur- rent by static induction on the earth and wires in close proximity.” If a single wire could be placed so high as to clear all the mountain tops, one could hear a whisper around the world. ' But the time is user when the telephone will transmit the voice perfectly clearly for a distance of three hundred miles; and by means of repeating stations, mes- sages will be sent by voice to all parts of the country. - ' > Electric lighting, too, is certsin,accord- ing to Edison, to be brought to afar greater eiiiciency in the near future. Electricity can be used safely and economically in lighting ; and it can, like gas, be- measurâ€" ed and sold by means of. metres. It can also be used in houses for driving fans, for running sewing machines, for pump- ing water. for working dumb waiters and elevators, and for cooling purposes. The future of electric power, indeed, is not to be measured in its possible varieties and importance. It scales as if the twentieth century would find it the most potent nniveral physical agency in opera- tion on the earth. union! to restore Elgar's equsnimity. “He studied for the profession when he was avuite a young man." “ ell. my dear, I don’t thing mention that now ; it only makes me ap pear a greater fool." “Dear me," thought the Doctor, “he does not seem quite so devoted and ten- der as I heard he was i" With consider-l able tact, he took no notice of Eigar's- ill-humorand went onâ€"“I should vise your having a little claret with your lunch and dinner, and a small quantity of brandy and water the last. thing before settling to sleep.

Persian bread is avory peculiar pro duc- tion ; it is made in large flaps, in some cases about a yard longâ€"if ever the Per- sians reach the advanced state of morning newspapers they might have them printed on their bread, so that they could read the news while they eat and swallow everything literally. On seeing these large flaps I have often thought that they must resemble the Blacksmith's Leather Apron which was the old standard of Per- sia ; if the bread is not made after that model they have managed to produce an article very like it, not only in size, but in colou’r and toughness at the same time. We have had now nearly two months' ex- perience of this material, and it was a de- light on coming here to get to our break- fast the first morning bread that wasmade on asomewhat later model than an old leather apron. The chances of finding a change in this detail of our daily life on reaching the Indian camp had often been discussed on the way, particularly at breakfast, when we were hard at work trying to masticate pieces of the leather kind. One ofour party said he knew Major Rind, the commissariat oilicer of the other camp, and that he was not a man likely to come away without the means of baking good bread : but we had been so long used to that Persian kind that these assurances did not inspire much hope. There had been doubts, but these were dispelled at our first breakfast. But- ter actually appeared on the table with the bread.
