Come,” obâ€" served Mr. William, coolly, “out with the money, I ain’t wishful to stay ’cre all day.” Nancy had grown pale as death; the very mention of Moss’ name had fallen like a black shadow on the brilliancy of; the sunshine around. She loathed, she feared this man so much, that the more thought of him being lcagued with the other blackguard against her seemed to sap all her courage. She did not trouble to ask herself what they could do; she only knew she, feared Thomas Moss as the dove fears the eagle, and tliat‘this man had brought him up as a horrible throat. “I will give you the money. she said, in faint, low tones, “but I have not got it here. I’have not a penny with me.” “I don't believe you!’ he al- most shouted, “you’ve got your purse in your pocket. I kcow, so I’ll look for myself.

Not a trace remained of the disagreeable adventure she had gust had, save that her pink waistband was almost torn in half by the rough treat-_ .ment lavished upon the chatelaine. “We will wait a little. Sit down. Stay, I willlniake you com- fortable,” and without any more ado Mr. Darnlecy simply lifted Miss Hamilton from the ground to her old corner o-ii'thc stile. ' “Now, Nancy,” he said, very quietly and detei‘i‘ninedly, as her icheeks cooled slowly, and she won- idored vaguely why her heart should heat so fast and nervously now, when all danger was gone; “to re- Iturn to this man. ‘Who was he? I seem to remember his face. Why would you not let me go after him. and punish him, the brute 7.” I “Oh, please do not let us talk about him, Mr. Darnley,” Nancy said, earnestly and hurriedly. - That one mention of Thomas Moss had alarmed her beyond all description. The thought flashed through her mind that if she were to give the information Darnlcy asked. and so get William into more trouble, that he would. be re- vengcd on her in even a more hor- Irible way than he had just at- itempted, and that he would be the ‘means of putting Thomas Moss in her life again. , Of course it was foolish of Nancy. If she had been less nervous, she Iwould have seen how foolish it was ito think that these two men could affect her, situated as she was now. lf they dared to molest her, as William had done this afternoon, the matter would soon be settled iby Sir Humphrey and the local police; but Nancy’s mind had gone back in the last few minutes, to a certain extent, to the condition it was in the old liie. Then Moss’ power had seemed to Ilier illimitable; and so~she had perâ€" ;mittcd herself to magnify this; and ithe probable evils that might arise ito her through him, until he was a veritable nightmare to her when- ever she permitted herself to think about him. Darnley saw her hesitation, and waif): owl other hanging Ornament-S was just a little vexed with her. growing near. Nancy saw that he was annoyed, and felt a sense of depression steal over her as she glanced now and .then at his moody, (lownicast face. ‘Prescntly she roused herself, , “I-â€"-I think I must be going, Mr. iDarnlcy,” she said, almost timid- ,ly. The young man turned at once. “Allow me to help you; that stile is rather high,” he said, with calm politeness; but he did not offer to lift her down, as he had lifted her up, and Nancy felt the chilly deâ€" pression creep still closer upon her. As she smoothed down her pink muslin skirts and began nervously to put on her gloves, something fell from her Chatelaine. “You have dropped something,” Darnley said, quickly,_-and thereâ€" upon he stooped and handed her the little locket containing her treasured portraits, which must have been loosen-ed during Mr. Wil- liam’s vigorous handling of the chain. ' “Oh, iry locket!” Nancy cried; then. with deep gratitude, “oh! thank you for telling me. Iâ€"I would not have lost that for any- thing!” Derrick Darnlcy bit his lips sud- den‘ly. What secret did that tiny gold casket inclose that made it so dear to her, or whose hand had given it, that it should be prized above all else on earth “I am. fortunate in having reâ€" stored it to you," he said, curt-ly, but not discourteously. Nancy’s blue eyes went suddenly to his face. What had come to him? A chasm seeiii-zi-cl to stretch between them and the pleasant, friendly footing of only an hour ago. He did not seem the same man as the Darnl-ey from whose hand she had vainly tried to extract the imagin- ary thorn. .-'\ mist (f tcai‘s rose before her sight, and her lips trembled, but Mr. Darnley did not perceive this; }they were walking slowly along the homeward road, and her sunshade carefully screened her face. while his head was carried haughtin iii the air, the combined effect 'of in~ agreeable and indelinablc. He hated himself for doubtiog her even for an instant. Still, .the unpleasant fact remained that very little was known about her past-â€" only what she had chosen to tell them herself. Was it, then, iniâ€" possible that she should have some friend whom she cherished, some lover? He ground his teeth, and at that moment he caught a glimpse of her face as she lowered her sun~ shade from the hanging boughs of a tree, and all his doubts went. “Iain afraid you are very tired,” he was beginning, but as she turn- ed to him, radiant to think that his an] 1.3 cm (richly stops con ho. cures colds. build I e throat and lungs. - - a 25 cents.

New and again one hears authen- tic instances of large sums having been won at the gaming tables at Monte Carlo. One of the most fortunate playâ€" ers at Monte Carlo for a considerâ€" able time past has been Mr. W. Darnbrough, whose exploits figur- ed in the newspapers a few weeks ago.

Even then he claimed to have in the end run out a loser. The reader can take his choice of the“two statements; but amongst frequent-erg of the rooms at Monte Carlo it is generally considered imp poss1ble to amass large winnings Without risking large stakes. Even thenthe chances are a thousand to one in favor of the bank. Yet there undoubtedly are oo- cassionally wins running into four or five figures. ._...-’«__.._-_ REMEDIES rcii SEA-SICKNESS English Princess Royal Had to Emlurc Seine Odd Ones. ‘ Perhaps the most curious rem- Iedy for seasickness ever prescribed was that arranged by Sir Theodore Mayern for the English Princess I.Royal when she crossed to Belgium i1n_ 1642. \ Cinnamon, coriander, ianise, ainbergris, musk and sugal were to be made up into long tubes for her to munch on the voyage; a , balsam of Peru, gum mastic and laudanum was to be ap« dmhes’ he left with $320,000 in his‘ plied to the pit of the stomach and, pockets, as the result of a month’s stay and play.

At one period his credit balance amounted to no less than $465,000, but from this point Dame' Fortune ceased to smile upon him. He steadily lost from $60,000 to $80,~ 000 per day, until, recognizing that luck had turned against him, he had sufficient strength of mind to turn his back on the tables and strike for home. with the very sub- staantial winnings that still remain- e . On another occasion a certain well~known member of the London Stock Exchange was said to have walked off from Monte Carlo with llittle short of $200,000. This re- markable performance occasioned no small amount of excitement in the rooms, such an unusual in- cident invariably does. I Bent on embarking in more or less of a “plunge,” he went from one table to another, placing the maximum on the same number. Marvellous to relate, at each ta- ble this number came up.- MAN WHO BROKE THE .lSANI’E.

He improved them some. what. in 1833 by using phosphorous. lTlic first really practical frictior lma‘rcli was made in the United le-atcs in. 18:36 by L. C. Allen, of iSpriiigficld, Mass. Before thii time a clumsy form of match was limpoi'ted from France, which had ito be dipped into a bottle of sul- i phui'ic acid before it could be light- l ed. 1 This. took a great deal of time and :trouble, and Allen, seeing the ne‘ ccssity for friction matches, set about to make them, and succeed- cd. He neglected lo patent them, iliowcvei', and on finally applying for letters patent. found that a man named Alonzo Phillips, who was a pcdlar, had discovered through a third person. the secret of making ltlic matches and had already ob- |tainod a patent. Thus Allen, 'though the real inventor, was forc- ed. to become a mere manufacturer "under another man’s patent. .â€"â€"_.o... - i â€".~.~â€"â€"â€"â€"~m_â€"_â€".. 5% l the throat and lands.
