Suddenly the 5:?" is snatched from his hends.aud there ore him stands Lady Kil- leen. her whole lorm quivering with passion. her laoe white and distorted with such rage and suffering as will stamp themselves indelibly upon his mind and vision. and in her hand a knife which she has caught up from the luncheon-table. K “ I don’t know Killeen, it’s a new illness to me; over-excitement brings it on. Dr. Gordon says, and yourâ€"my poor cousin, :38 been terribly over-excited of late you now." He bows his head in assent. Darragh's words, unintentionally as they are uttered, fill him With remorse. If he had not obeyed Mrs. St. John’s mandate to call on herâ€"if he had only given his wife some ampler assurance than he had succeeded in giving her that she was unahaken on the pedestal on which he has placed her, this dread thing. this fit that is like a fierce tiger, would not have assailed her. As it is. he is too thoroughly frightened and shaken to feel confidence of being able to protect her properly in the future. So there is little besides grateful humiliation in the tone in which he says-j _ “You shall not eoorn me sol" she ehrieks. “You shall euflor for it," and she line the knilehigh into the air. hesi- tauing for a moment whether she shall please if into his heart or her own. 7,,A AL- 3--.. :_ LL..-“ nnnnn l'""o' '* At this moment the door is thrown open by one o! the servants of the hotel, and as Darrsgh walks into the room.

The illness with which her cousin's un- fortunate wife has been so suddenly smitten claims all her sympathy, care. and atten- tion. and it receives that which it claims. There is a sense of comfort and security to Lord Killeen in the way in which his cousin takes off her bonnet. and proceeds to make herself useful. without lungs or conjecture. 7 " My dsar Dan-3gb!" he says. with emo tion, and he can say _no pore. _ “ You will be her best friend. Darraghmnd ehe will trust you and let you help her." from which remark, inderendently of the evidence of the uplifted knife. Derregh infers that it has not been all smooth sailing since the lately married pair embarked on life's ogeen together. _ But Darragh has the discretion which is born of delicate feeling and kind-hearted- ness, and so she neither asks nor looks a question. Her weary, anxious watch lasts without intermission for many hours. It is dark night when Lady Killeen recovers consciousness. A night-light dimly illumi- nates the room. With a few quiet words Darragh draws near to the side of the bed. accounting for her own presence here in an easy. natural way thatalniost persuades long. or his_ puionog would stand 3 lifitlo "1335â€"1; follow! the veil has been rudely rent from betcre his eyee‘alreed‘yn It seems to Dsrrsgh that it is her vocso tion to witness ghastly scenes. and to min- ister to the suffering now.

" Call him when you’re dressed, Miller. it will be such a relief to him. poor fellow, to know his wife is better.” “ Are you going, miss?" “ Yes, but I shall oome back,” Darrsgh says.

She is lying on a. sofa in a tea gown of young sycamore-leafed eutin, trimmed deeply with Vulenoiennea lune. Her complexion is pale, full of pearly reflec- tions, which Darregh’e untutored hand had failed to put there, and on a table by her side are all fihe daily p iperen “I have been so impatient for you to come to me ever since Dan-ugh lets,” she euya, screeching outajewelled hand and smiling vegy sweetly. “ While Durragh was hereâ€"she is so kind, so periecbâ€"I didn’t went you." _ _ The recollection of how they parted on the previous day flashes into his mind as he sees her, but in a moment she diepelu the quleeaent memory.

According to her View of the case. Millar has borne the brunt of the situation, and been the one to make it practically pleasant to Lady Killeen this morning. What Miss Thynne may have done in the way of nurs- ing in the night is nothing to Millar. She (Millar) has been the peg on which new dresses, fresh from White’s and Worth's have been hung this morning. and she it is to whom this delicate pearly hue oi youth and purity on Lady Killeen‘s cheeks is due. The soul of the sewing-woman is in arms as she reflects on these things, and it is with a touch of unusual asperity in her tone that she saysâ€" _ "Kt‘iéast they do away with it in Lord Killeen'a estimation. but qotin Millag’s.

He knows now shat he has made a. bad bargain. but there is no need to give his knowledge to the world. Then he goes on, " You are much better now, you know, dear ; you'll have to keep quiet and give up political excitement.” - She laughs aohly.

How cruel Nature is 1" she goes on. and tears welling into her eyes as she speaks seems to attest the truth of her assertion. “ These awlul illnesses of mine i" she adds, piteously. “No one knows what I sufier before they come on, and when I'm recovering. I am sore and bruised in body and broken in mind, and every one is looking out for flaws in my conduct to punish me for being punished by Nature already."___ “,, She gripe Derregh's wrist as she speaks. but neither the pain she inflicts with her nervous. clinched fingers nor the insult which her words convey have the power to disoompose Darregh. "I should be mad myself to think you so." she says, cheerfully; " but I know you have been very ill. and I want you to keep quiet and get strong. and then have Arthur in and relieve his anxiety about you. Poor Arthur was so frightened about you _when you tainted." 1-,. -,,,v ‘fainted.’ as you call it." Lady Killeen says, with a smile and a cunning glare in her eyes that would almost warrant the suspicion that madness and herself are allied. " Don't pretend to shrink from me as it I were a mad woman.” Lady' Killeen cries. “ I know that is what you will tell people now. as you timed your entrance so cleverly â€"juet as I was getting 111; it was planned between you and your cousinâ€"your old loverâ€"to give him a handle against me.

A Scientific Descrlpilon ol the Billerencc Between Ilse 'l‘wo Forces. Prof. Hughes has recently advanced views about magnetism, which. if accepted. will largely modify the position which science assigns to this property. He asserts that where there is no apparent magnetism. or the magnetism is neutral, there is not, as had been supposed, an iudifierent turning of the molecules in all directions, with consequent balancing of influence ; but, on the contrary, there is a perfect symmetrical arrangement, the molecules (or their polarities) arranging themselves so as to satisfy their mutual attraction by the shortest path, and thus form a complete closed circuit of attrac. tion. When magnetism becomes evrdent. the molecules (or their polarities) have all rotated symmetrically in a given direction, but the symmetry of arrange- ment is such that the circles of attraction are not completed except through an external armature joining both poles. Again, he shows that we have permanent magnetism when the molecular rigidity retains the molecules or their polarities :‘n a given direction, and transient magnetism when- ever the molecules are comparatively tree. Prof. Hughes also shows that the inherent polarity or magnetism of each molecule is like gravity, a constant quantity, which can neitherbe generated nor augmented, nor diminished ‘nor destroyed. Neither can magnetism be changed to any other form of force or property of matter. It must he, therefore, dissociated from electricity, as certainly as gravitation must be dissociated from heat and light.
