Already the "keen stars that falter never," are dropping one by one, to slumber, perfect . and serene.

CHAPTER XXIII (Continued) Branscombe, who is standing beside her, here turns his bead to look steadâ€" fastly at her. His blue eyes are almost black, his lips are compressed, his face is very pale. Not an hour ago she had promised him his tenth dance. He bad asked her for it in haste, even as he went by _ her with another _ partâ€" ner. and she had smiled consent. Will THE VICARS GOVERNESS addressed her in such a tone. s it?" she says gently. "I bhad for en; but of course my card will tell.‘ rgie, who is laughing gayly with Kennedy, turns her face to his surprise mixed with the sweetâ€" of her regard.

He is quite close to her now; and she, l.urniu}x round to him her lovel{ flowerâ€" like face, . starts perceptibly, and, springing to her feet, confronts bim with a little frown, and a sudden dm-f)«ning color that spreads from chin to brow. At this moment he knows the whole truth. Never has she appeared so deâ€" sirable in his eyes. Life with her means happiness more than falls to the lot of most; life without her, an interâ€" minable blank. "Love ligbts upon the hearts, and straight we feel â€" f More worlds of wealth gleam in an upâ€" turned_ eye 2 Than in the rich bheart or the miser ‘"‘My life! my fatel" 1s she his life, â€"his fate? The idea makes him tremâ€" ble. Has he set his whole heart upon a woman who perhaps can never give him hers in return? ‘The depth, the intemnsity of the passion with which he repeats the words of her wuf astonishâ€" es and perplexes him vaguely. Is she indeed his fate? Clear and happy, as though it were a free bird‘s, her voice rises on the wind and reaches Branscombe, and moves him as no other voice ever hadâ€"or will ever again haveâ€"power to move him. ‘"There has fallen a splendid tear From the passionâ€"flower at the gate; She is coming, my dove, my dear; She is coming, my life, my fate." The kind wind brings the tender pasâ€" sionate loveâ€"song to him, and repeats it in his ear as it hurries onward: "My dove, my dear." How exacily the words suit her! he says them over and over again to himself, almost losinf the rest of the music which she is still breathâ€" ing forth to the evening air. _ ____ She is sitting down, and is leaning forward, having taken her knees well into her embrace. Her broad hat is tilted backward, so. that the sunny straggling hair upon her forehead can be plainly seem. Her gown is snowâ€" white, with just & touch of black at the throat and wrists, a pretty frill of soft babyish lace caresses the throat. Had she really meant him not to call toâ€"day? Will she receive him coldly? Is it even possible to find ber in such an absurd place as this, where positiveâ€" ly everything seems mixed up together in such a hopeless fushion that one can‘t see further than one‘s nosef Perâ€" haps, after all, she is not here, has reâ€" turned to the house, and is nowâ€" Suddenly, across the bluebels, there comes to him a fresh sweet voice, that thrills bim to his . very heart. It is hers; and there in the distance, he can see her, {‘ust where the sunlight falls athwart the swaying ferns. _ § to caress them, shake their tiny belis with a coquettish grace, and fling forth perfume to him with a lavish will. The solemn trees, that "seem to hold mystical converse with each other," look down upon the tranquil scene that, season after season changes, fades away and dies, only to return again, fairer ‘:md fresher than of yore. The firâ€"trees tower upward, and gleam greenâ€"black against the sky. Upon some topmost boughs the birds are chanting a faean of their own; while through this "wilâ€" ’dernesx of sweets‘"â€"far down between its steep banks (that are rich with trailing ivy and drooping bracken)â€" runs a stream, a slow, delicious, lazy stream, that glides now over its mossâ€" grown stones, and anon flashes through some narrow ravine dark and profound. As it runs it babbles fond loveâ€"songs to the pixies that, perchance, are peepâ€" ing out at it, through their yellow tresses, from shady curves ‘ and sunâ€" kissed corners. It is one of May‘s divinest efforts,â€" a day to make one glad and feel that it is well to be alive. Yet Branscombe, walking through this fairy glen, though conscious of its beauty, is conscious, too, that in his beart bhe knows a want not to be satisfied until Fate shall again bring him face to face with the girl with whom he had parted so unamicâ€" ably the night before. _ e DURHAM, CO.

A tangled mass of grass, and blackâ€" berry, and fern; a dying sunlight, deep and tender; soft beds of tawny moss Myriad bluebells are alive, and, spreadâ€" ing themselves, far and wide, in one rich cur;mtiuf (whose color puts to shame the tall blue of the heavenly vault above), make one harmonious {rlending with their green straight leaves. â€"Far as the eye can reach they spread ind as the light and wanton wind stoops ] Georgie, detaching her hand from his grasp, moves away from him. | _*"*‘Must is for the queen, and shall is | for the king,‘" quotes she, with a small ’ puu‘l, "und toâ€"morrowâ€"catch me if you cant‘ : She frowns slightly, and, with a sudâ€" | den movement, getting behind a large floweing shrub disappears from his Iguz.- for the night.

Raisâ€" ing her hand he presses it with passionâ€" ute fervor to his lips. "I don‘t want to see you toâ€"morrow or any other day," declares Miss Brouâ€" ghton, with cruel emphasis, not even turning her head to him as she speaks. ut ns To Ee e o areet n e ie dnn Dorian, stricken with remorse, folâ€" lows her. "Georgie, forgive me!

Immediat»ly after his death his brothers, Michael and Edwin Maybrick, with a Mrs. Briggs and a_ Mrs. Hughes, old friends, and Alice Yapp, a nursemaid, informed the police that they were conâ€" vinced that Maybrick had been On April 27, after having been to the Wirral races, Maybrick was taken ill, and his wife nursed him day and nif]z‘bt. and he, all through his illness asked to have her near bhim, and sent for her when she was away.

They gave him as treatment a number of irritant poisons, such as prussic acid, arsenic,paâ€" patine, and iridine, and on May 11, in the evening be died, of gastroenteritis, the doctors said. When his wife learnâ€" ed of his death she fell in a swoon that lasted fortyâ€"eight hours. Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines, and in this case On that occasion he blacked his wife‘s eyes and ordered a servant to call a cab to take her from the house, but when she was ready to go he sent the cab away and forbade her to go on pain of never crossing the threshold again. What this scandal was or which one it concerned was never known, but Maybrick‘s brother Micnael testified during the trial that he was convinced that his brother had died in entire igâ€" nq;‘nnce of any scandal affecting his wile. "Such a scandal will be all over town toâ€"morrow." Maybrick, from all accounts, seems to have become a sort of monomaniac on the subject of dosing himself. All sorts of drugs he tried from time to time, finally hitting on arsenic as best fitâ€" ting his cure, and in time he became a confirmed arsenic eater. The first trouble that is known to have happened between the Maybricks was on March 29. On that day they went to the "Grand National" races and there was a quarrel between them that night, when the servants beard Mayâ€" brick shout : \ From all that is known of the first few years of their marriage they WERE VERY HAPPY. despite the enmity shown toward Mrs. Maybrick by ber busband‘s two brothâ€" ers, Michael and Edwin, who had opâ€" posed the marriage from the beginning. A boy was boro in 1882 and a girl in 188( going to England. He was a Liverpool cotton broker. The acquaintance formâ€" ed then ended in marriage a year after, and for the first couple of years after the marriage the couple lived in Norâ€" folk, Va., where Mr. Maybrick had business interests. At the end of that time they went to Liverpool, their home being in Aigburth, one of the suburbs. It was called Battlecrease. Mrs. Maybrick was very good lookâ€" ing, clever, and vivacious when, in May, 1880, she met Maybrick on a steamer going to England. He was a Liverpool cotton broker.

Whether this is so or not the ingenuity of the Jap is astonishimg. He can reâ€" produce anything that he has ever seen. Give him a piece or complicated mechanism, such as a watch or an elecâ€" trical apparatus, and he will reproduce it exactly and set it running without instructions. He can imitate any proâ€" cess or copy any design more accurâ€" ately than anybody else.

They will bu{ only one outfit of a g:en sort of machinery. Having purchased one set,, thg copy it and supply all future demands for themselves. There is no protection for foreign patents in Japan, and any instrument or machine that comes into the country may be manuâ€" factured without interference or the f"’m ef royalty.

No wonder, then, that the Japs are able to turn out cheap bicycles. It is the same way with watches. Pretty soon Japan will be supplying the world with timepieces for the pocket. In that country, owing to the low price of labor, watches can be sold ata proâ€" fit for 50 per cent. less than the marâ€" ket price here. One factory over there is turning out 150 watches a day. They are firstâ€"rate in every respect; yet the best workmen employed in making them get only 20c. a day.
