"He never was heard ol again, but I think I know what became of him, ‘and also where the treasure he deâ€" posited with his brother is." Mr. Â¥aughan took up a _ smalier of parchment, written on in â€"Â¥ iAferent hand, and in the English language. 1 e "This," said he, "is a kind of meimâ€" orandum, written by the Prior . of »â€" whom the monk speaks, and in which o memecasrmands ; THE QUEEN‘S TOKEN : "Wonderfal, indeed.

Mr. Vaughan paused. "‘Go on, go on," said Blanche.

But listen to the stories of the brothers," Then, while the darknesss waned, and the dawn broke over the ru‘ned walls of Kilferran, the young lady of the land listened to the solemn stateâ€" ment which Brother Cyprian wrote _"The monk, Brother Cypria«, of the Order of Friars Preachersâ€"" _ more than two centures and a hail beforeâ€"wrote within the walls whose skeleton stood hare and ghastly in the coming lightâ€"the sorrowful story w his brother‘s gallant, loyal, fruitâ€" lbess enterprise.

"The jewels in the picture of the Queen‘s marriage, d‘d you never notice them? 1 did not teil you about them, but Gemâ€" herein described, so that, seeing it is mot consecrate, nor hath at any tUme been used in the service of the altar, it may, if need be, be sold or put to surety for tne profit of the community." Blanche laid her hand upon the jewel, and sank back in her chair, quite weak and white, but not fainting. The lights in the room were fading in the beams of the morning sun, but so absorbed were the old man and the girl in the investigation before them, that they &®d not perceive that the day had come upon them. s] "You remember your father‘s acâ€" count of it, Blianche. There is no doubt that Lou‘s de Yalmont was lost at sea, that it was from _ the wreck of the ahip in which he sailed that the coffers, and the hMmp, and, long, long after, that ruby _ heart were cast upon the Corn‘sh coast. It must be soâ€"there is a strange destiny, in all this, my child, and the action of Providence is singularâ€" ly complete. But this treasure is yours, as, by an extraord&nary coinâ€" cidence, the Token is also yours which would once have claimed it ; if, as I have very little doubt, â€" it remains where the Prior placed it. But see, it is broad day, and you are ma and I saw themâ€"and 1 have never doubted that my ruby heart was one worn by Queen Mary ; and oh, how I value and love it, for that conviction. Butâ€"but how did it come to Tredethlyn ?" At length Blanche fell into a sound ealumber, from which she awoke late in the afternoon, to find Gemma by her beds‘ide. "What is the matter? What has happered to you?" she exclaimed, starting up, aml throwing her arms round Gemma, whose beaut‘fal face was radiant, transfigured by joy. "Oh Rianche! he‘s cominz home! he is in Lomwlon.

He wrote his last two letters and left them to be posted after he sa‘led, that I might not be in misery and suspense, and now he is i» London, quite safe. quite well,â€"and he is coming. Look, see, read his letter for yoursel{. Oh, Blanche, Blanche !" Gemma hid her face on Blanche‘s neck, in a transport of joyful tears. A week later, and again in the dead time of the night, M. Yaughan and Miss Tredethlyn held _ secret council in the library of the new house at Kilferran. But this time they were not alone. Colonel Ramâ€" say . was with them, engaged in studying intently a rude drawing on a _ small square of parchment, marked here and there with figures. "It is difficult io reconstruct the abbey from this," said the Colonel. "Weean but guess where the Prior‘s "It is difficult io reconstruct the abbey from this," said the Colonel. "Weean but guess where the Prior‘s parlor stood, and follow the indicaâ€" tions from that, and then, if we are wrong, assign some other situation to it, and begin again. The note is less intelligible than the plan :" "‘First to right, close by fourth, reckoned from right wing." "We can make nothing of this toâ€" night, at all events. Toâ€"morrow we will minutely inspect the ruins, Mr. Vaughan, if our young heiress here will undertake to keep Gemma‘s atâ€" tention engagzed elsewhereâ€"as I find she is to be kept in ignorance, though why I cannot understand." "Then you must obey without unâ€" derstanding," said Blanche, " which ought not to be very difficult for a soldier." "I obey then. No one will think prowlers about your famous ruin in any way remarkable and we canâ€" not observe too absolute secrecy. If indeed this treasure is found, â€" the mere rumor of such a thing would bring all the country flocking in here and cause you endless annoyance. If it ibe not found, and any rumor get abroad that such a search has been made, we should be laughed to scorn or shunned as something in the sorâ€" cerer or witch line." f "Certain‘y. But I can do that, with your aid. What two men hid, unasâ€" elsted, two men unassisted can surely find. The chief point is to read the riddle of the plan. "First to right," what does that allude to? _ Rooms, passages, doors, wallsâ€"It may be any of these, and none exist." " But," objected Mr. Vaugh "suppose we discover the meaning '3 this enigmatical plan and note, we must have assistance. The treasure is doubtlegs buried, and must be dug for." * "Columns!"‘ repsated Colonel Ramâ€" say, quickly, "that‘s a clue. ~Now we get number, which is less difficult than roensureme::t. ‘Close b& fourth.‘ Fmurth of what?

(The End.) In one of the most ancient of the churches in Paris, a solemn structure in the midst of the palaces of the past and the present, a richly sculptured tomb remains to this day, bearing the name and the arms of De Valmont. It is placed in on«{ of tha alsles, near a Mde altar, and has, by some strange chance, eecaped th> shock and the desecration ol the sucessive revoluâ€" tiomns which have destroyed its comâ€" peers in beauty and in yvenerableness. Detween the tomb and the altar, Value of Presence of Mind Not Kasily Overâ€"esiimated, "Presence of mind and a few buckets of water"â€"these are the two desiderata in case of fire ; at least so we are told by a writer in t Paris Cosmos (April 28). Tine former is a matter partly of temperamernt and partly of training ; the latter everyone may and should have on hand. The writer does not believe that dependence can be placed on chemical â€" extinguishers or _ bhandâ€" grenades, although both have done good service. The great thing is to realite that much may be done to extinguish a fire by ordinary meâ€" thois in a few seconds, and that theso few moments of grace are alâ€" most always at one‘s disposal, no matter how imminent the danger. Says the writerâ€" wwtnPibe rage csdad ds "Take a fow examples â€"A woman‘s hair takes fire ; she seizes a towel, wraps it arouxi her head, and then running â€" rapidlyto the bathroom puts her head under the faucet. She will escape with very slight burns. You are cleaning your gloves with benzine, and it catches fire. If the gloves are on your kands, it will be sufficient to wrap thenm in the folds of your dress or:to thrust them unâ€" der a rug or a custzon. The flames will go out at once for lack of air. "In fires, the danger, immediate though it may seem, is never instanâ€" taneous. There are always a few minutes h. which to seek for a means of safety. "Suppose you have committed the great imprudence of filling a keroâ€" sene lamp while it is still hot ; the kerosene has taken fire; the lamp has fallen and th» flames leap up ta the ceiling. Pull down the curâ€" tains as quickly as you can and remove any inflammable {furniture that is near ; theu throw wetcloths on the flames to â€" smother them. Never throw water on burning oll : it floats on the water ; but when it has ceased to run and burns in sep arate spots, water may be used to extinguish the burning objects. "A curtain takes fire; remove the furniture at once, draw the curtain to ane side and taking a wet cloth en a broom, beat the curtain with it. You can thus easily put out a {ire that might have become serious. "Golng at might into a closet with a lighted candle, you set fire to a dress. Do not try to put it out ; you will only increase the damage. Shut the door quickly and go _ for palls of water, which you can throw in after opening the door again, You will perhaps save some of _ your clothes, and at any rate you will prevent â€" the. destruction _ of your house. ‘"When the clothes you are wearâ€" ing take fire, it is the most elementâ€" ary prudence mot to run, and not t open a window toâ€" call for help; this only aids the flinmes. You should simply roll on the floor and try to smother with part of your dress the portions that are burning. We carry the latest stock of liquors in town.â€"Printer‘s Ink.

October 25, 1900, marked the hunâ€" dredth anniversary of the birth of Thomas Babington Macaulay. The future historian, says the London Iâ€" lustrated News, was born on a reâ€" markable day for England, for Octoâ€" ber 25 was already famous as the birthday of Chaucer and the battleâ€" day of Agincourt. Lord Macaulay first saw the light at Rothley Temâ€" ple, the Leicestershire home of the Babingtons. "There," as Sir George Trevelyan records, "in a room panelâ€" led from ceiling to floor, like a very corner of the ancient mansion, with oak almost biack from age, looking eastward across the park, and southâ€" ward through an ivyâ€"shaded winâ€" dow into a little garden, Lord Maeâ€" aulay was born." From that picâ€" turesque seat of his kindred, the hisâ€" torian, on being raised to the peerâ€" age, took his territorial designation. Rothley Temple was formerly the property of the Hnrcourtn;_ then a is almost unknown, and skins of wild animals, butter and eggs and other commodities are still exchanged for coffee and sugar and calisco. A recent visitor in this reg‘on te Is about seeing coon, squirrel and rabbit skins passed over the counter of a country store in exchange for groceries. The owner of the store said that someâ€" times he never saw any money for months at a time. Four times a year hide buyers come out from Lexington and fike the skins off his hands. Then he sends the moncy to Cincinnati for a new stock of goods. duind stniabs. M todliils c m c ow e ul â€" Preceptory of the Kuights Templars, and at the dissolution of the monaeâ€" teries, passed into the hands of the Babingtons.
