looking at the speaker.
“ You know very well."
“Indeed I do not."
“ Well. if I must be more explicit, I wish
you would not act with that—that Ponsonby.
The way he stares at you and fixes you with
his eyes. is enough to make a man forget his
manners. "
“My dear Cyril, you can't be serious. I
have never heard you so unreasonable be-
fore."
“Unreasonable! My dear girl! Consider-
ingwcaretobo married so soon, and all
that, I really thought you would not object
to a. little advice from me."
“Of course not. If I like it, I shall always
follow it. You know that.”
“ But surely, Dorothy, it can be no pleas-
are to go through rehearsals with that lanky
fellow ?"
“ Well, you see, I am bound to act now.
This is the sixteenth—tho theatricals come
oli‘. on the nineteenth, and only three days;
how could Lady Rodney provide a substi-
tute in that time? And besides, I would like
to." -
“ Oh, would you ? That of course settles
the question. "
”Why, Cyril," exclaimed Miss Bohun, “ I
do believe that you are jealous ! "
“I am. It does not make a man particu-
larly cheerful to know that the woman he
loves is to be the object of another man's
adoration for even an hour."
"But, my dear Cyril, it is only a farce."
“ But, my dear Dorothy, I see no reason
why it might not terminate in a. tragedy."
Miss Bohun laughs.
“Even that," she says, “ would be better
than nothing. This place has grown so dull
since the Stewarts left, and those men at
Coote hall 1"
"Look here, Dorothy, throw it up," says
Mr. Disney, leaning over her chair, and
bending his head until his face was very
nee: to hers, “for my sake."
“Well, if you can bring me some fever,
1']! take it; but I don’t see where you’ll get
it, as there’s nothing of the kind in the
parish, and I'm convinced that nothing less
could save me from this thing."
“ Then you are quite determined not to
give it up ?" says Disney, coldly, drawing
himself to his full height.
“I never was determined in my life," says
Miss Bohun, with some just indignation. “I
am remarkable for never saying ‘no’ to any-
body. You yourself have frequently told me
I had the sweetest nature in the world, and
it is quite too late to alter Lady Rodney’s ar-
rangements now. "
“No doubt youarc rightas you always are.
I’m sorry I can't be present on the nine-
teenth, but it is impossible, as I shall have
business that will detain me about that
time."
“Vary pressing business ?"
"Yes, very pressing business."
"Ah !" says Miss Bohun.
. t t O t i I C O I I 0
When Disney has been absent two days,
his thoughts undergo a decided change.
To have left Dorothy in the ‘_ or he
had, seems to him now, to have been not
only an unmanly. but a most unworthy ac-
tion.
There is only one way out of it. He will
write to her, and humbly apologize for his
conduct.
The night passes wearily enough, and the
morning brings him no relief. He is still
indescribably miserable, and sinks into the
belief that there is no balm in Gilead for
his enemy spirit.
The next day he grows even more desper-
ate, and finally decides that todaorrow, come
what may, he will—metaphorically speaking
~—throw himself at her feet, and implore for-
giveness.
How slowly the train seems to move. and
how intolerable seems the delay at each sta-
tion to Disney, as the next morning he
travels on his way to Brompley. One-half
hour more, and he is fullfilling the guard's
demands for the changed ionising of his
mutilated ticket, and awukes to the fact that
he has actually arrivpd at his destination.
Ilastily procuring his baggage, and engag:
ing the first our convenient he immediately
proceeds to the hall. Arriving there, he
dismisses the man, and, giving his luggage
to the inestimablo Williams, he enters the
house. _
How good it seems to him being back
again, and how small by this time have
Dorothy's sins grown in his eyes! After all,
how could she help it? He is sure she hated
having to do it. And how could she refuse
Lady Rodney, after promising to play her
part? And, besides, how many women act
in private theatricals, and why shouldn't
Dorothy, who is evidently fitted by nature
for that sort of sport? And when one comes
to think of it dispassionately, there are few
things so—ao innocent m little tableaux, and
little drawing-room pieces, and all that!
Infect, when they are married, he doesn't
see why they shouldn‘t have private theat-
riccls once a month. That green room at
Kingsmoro is just the place for a stage—400t-
lights and drop scenes, and so on.
He is getting positively enthusiastic over
the theatricals. which subject has carried
him as far as the drawing-room, when it
suddenly occurs to him that Miss Bohun is
not there, as the man has led him to sup-
OI“
pose.
No doubt she is in the conservatory, which
she so much aficcts. He pauses. He thinks
he will give her a pleasant surprise, and
cautiously moving aside the curtain, that he
may not too rudely break in upon the reverie
that is doubtless filled with him, he gazes
upon the little perfumed paradise beyond.
At first the light dazzles his eyes. He
draws his breath quickly, and then—what is
it he sees? In the distance stands Dorothy
-—her features eloquent, her eyes alight, her
lip} half " as a smile fond and tender
hovers ionic them.
At her feet kneels Ponsonby, his hands
tightly clasped, his whole attitude betraying
devotion the most intense.
Even as Disney watches them, stricken to
the heart 13 this cruel picture on which he
has ”unwittingly introduced, a passionate
11118-
filming." he lays, "I appeal to you for
thelast time, and implore you to listen to
Inc! Do not. I beseech you, let the adora-
therii" says
tion of another"-—(“ That’s me," Disney
says, between his compressed lips)-—“blind
you to the undying love I offer! On youl
are cciitored all my hopes of future happi-‘
ness! Do not sentence me to a life-longl
despair, but say you will be mine!” i
' Disney waits with maddening impatience;
and beating heart for her reply.
It comes very nervously from Dorothy's
pretty lips;
Ifcr head is bent modestly, and her hands
lie passively in Ponscnby’s.
“How can I answer you?" she says, in
distinct but wavering accents. And yet why
should I not unburden my mind? Truth is
always best. My heart has long been in
your keeping, and if you wish it, it is yours."
It 'u too much! Sick at heart, Disney
turns away, not caring to listen to words
evidently notth for him to hear. The
dreadful awakening has come! All his
dreams of bliss have been shattered by this
Sudden and painfully unexpected blow; and
Dorothy, his love, whom he has believed as
true as the angels, is nothing more in his
eyes now than a practiced dirt and heartless
woman of the world!
IIisfirst thought is to return to the city ;
his next to remain. Has he not heard some-
where “second thoughts are best ?" Yes;
he will romajpgandsceit out to the bitter
”3.: ; and when this loathsome play has come
i... i!!! and, he will tell her what he thinks of
EM, and how she has wilfully broken his
iavzzrt and ruined his life.
At dinner he is compelled to meet her ;
but everybody being present, his exceedingly
cob! greeting passes unnoticed by all except
by Dorothy herself. She cannot mistake the
change in his whole demeanor. Where is
the tender pressure of his hand to which she
hm! become accustomed? Why did he come
at all if he is still filled with bitter thoughts?
There is some faint comfort in the remem-
brance that she did not ask him to return.
But what has become of the pressing’lbng.
incss? Why has he come back in such hot
haste? '
He carefully avoided her all the evening
and next morning at breakfast is, if possible,
more markedly cold and distant toward her.
She is saddened and disheartened; but
pride comes to tho~ rescue. She decides in
herself that she will show him how little she
has taken to heart his coldness and indiffer-
encc.
Never before, perhaps, as during this in-
terminabic day Miss Bohun appeared so guy.
so bright, so full of life and spirits; and yet
in the soltitudc of her own room, while
dressing for this luckless play, she shed many
a bitter tear.
At nine o’clock the curtain rises. The
guests settle themselves in their seats and
prepare for anything.
Miss Rodney, arrayed in a very exquisite
costume, fresh from Worth, appears before
the audience, simpering and grlmacing and
doing her utmost to imitate a real live coun-
tess, while in reality she only succeeds in re-
sembling a very inferior soubrette.
While Miss Faulkner, from the hall, who
islnprivatc life her intimate friend, now
makes a poor pretence of waiting upon her
as confidential maid, and renders-herself
perfectly ridiculous by giving henchm-
cicnt airs for a half dozen confesses.
Both are a distinct failure. Everybody
tries to applaud, but disparaging remark:
fall lightly on the air.
The faint applause brings to life' two hardy
veterans. who, for some time past have
given tlfemsolves gratis to the open arms of
Morpheus. and have contentedly reclined
therein.

other. You see, my dear follow, when wo-
men are born with a talent for acting like
those two—two tyros, they don’t get easily
settled in life."
Then the curtain draws up for the second
time, and somebody comes slowly on to tho
stage—somebody who sets Cyril's pulses
swiftly throbbing.
It is Dorothy. She is very pale, and her
eyes are a little languid; but she is just a
degree lovelier than she ever was before.
Disney' hardly hears how the play pro-
gresses. Not a syllable makes itself heard
to him; he can only tell himself how lovely
:he is looking, and that she is false as she is
air. .
Her eyes are on the ground ; but suddenly
some words strike upon his car—words that
bring back to him a scene fraught with
grief and anger. He starts, and lifts his
head; and for the first time eagerly regards
the players.
Ponsonby on his knees before her. He is
holding her hands. His whole attitude is as
it was that fatal afternoon in the conserva-
tory. He is again pouring forth his soul in
words of extravagant passion.
And then Dorothy’s voice rises, clear but
sad, and devoid of the warmth that had
characterized it during the rehearsal.
“My heart has long been in your keeping,
and if you wish it, it is yours."
As she finishes her speech she raises her
eyes and fixes them steadily, and with keen-
est reproach, on Disney, who returns hcr
gaze, with eyes full of contrition.
Then the scene changes, and Miss Bohum
makes her exit, amid applaudings loud and
deep.
The curtain drops; so, I may almost say,
does Disney. How bitterly he now repents
his unpardonable jealousy! Where shall he
hide himself from Dorothy‘s justly reproach-
ful gaze ?
Nothing he can ever do will make her for-
give him—of that fact he feels assured ; and
he calls to mind the happy days that have
been, "remembrance sits upon him like a
ban ;" he feels “they should beware who
charges lay in love. "
Yet in spite of his despair, he determines
to make an eifort to regain his lost position.
He will go to her. Rising; suddenly, he
follows her to the green room, where he
knows she must be. ,
She is there, and alone.
"Dorothy," he says, entreatingly.
She turns with a start.
" Can you spare a few moments 7"
“ Can you wait until the morning, or is it
a matter of life and death?" she speaks very
coldly. .
“That your answer shall decide."
“My answer ?"
"Yes." Going up to her, he takes both
her hands in his, and holding them in a
close clasp, says, eagerly: -“Darling, I have
been a fool, a brute, everything unpardon-
able! Anything you could say to me would
not be hard enough I will go on my knees
for your forgiveness, if you will} only grant
it! Did you know half the misery I have,
suffered I am certain you would. "
“I'm not sure that I shall." .
“ What! I shall die if you throw me over
like this—I shall indeed." '
“Oh, no you won't—not a. little bit !" says
Miss Bohum.
“ But I assure you that I will!" exclaims
Disney. “Life would be impossible without
you 1”
“Well, but you see. I have promised Mr.
Pcnsonby—"
“To be his wife?”
“No; not exactly that."
“ Spa,“ quickly !” he says, in a low tone.
“Suspense is maddening!"
" I have promised to become a member of
the Archmol 'cal Society," says Dorothy.
“ And con! ’t you have said so before?"
says Cyril with a. deep sigh of relief.
"How could I when you were getting so
dreadfully mad." .

“Not all, I trust. Spare me a little, and

“Dearest Cyril." she says, misohievously
with a quick glance from under her long
lashes and in her rehearsal tone, “ my heart
has long been in your keeping, and if you
wish it, it is yours."
“My love-my darling!” murmured Cyril,

it should be first-class, if possible. In
this desperate emergency I remembered
that our navy had recently captured a
small contraband trader, and I had seen
the little vessel lying under the port qua-
!cr of the flagship. .I called upon the ad-
miral and stated our dilemma. Nobody
ever lav-.d fun bct2er than Admiral Por-
ter. nor could anyone sympathize more
than he in such an enterprise as we had
undertaken. For a reply he arose, upen-
cd a back door of his cabin and wen! be-

arms full of bolts of calico, gingham and
the like. I Selected what seemed ulna!

The Story of Luray,
How the Wonderful Caves were Discovered.
A wundrriog photographer—and, by the
way, what novelist will ever cmbalm in
cute adventure of a wandering phoib‘gn-
pher's life—who chanced to be near Lara} 9
ihcn Loraine, was impressed with the
belief that there wuss cavernous formation
in some of the hilh that throng about the
village. Why he thought so, only those
who know how thoroughly such a man
must study nature and acquaint himself
with woodcraft can understand. At any
rate be persuaded to his views a local hun-
ier named eumpbcll. and the two started
out on a systematic and persistent search
for a hole in the ground; For a longtime
they were unrew’tdcd. One moriiing,
howaver, they «me upon a bowl like de.
pression in the side of a mountain, from
which they thought a vague current of air
was issuing. They began picking through
the loose stones and sand that made the
bottom of the sink and, after going about
ten feet, dopped through an open cavity of
indeterminate dimensions. A' rope was
tied around Campbell’s body, and he
went far enough to discover that the
new found cavatn wr : vast and measure-
less. The hole was then carefully cover-id
over, and the discovers", keeping their
secret, sought the owner of the land. : On
a short bargain they bought the land for
.400, and took' the deeds. .
They then disclosed their secret. secured
help, and made “borough exploration of
the cave. This exploration opened up the
wierdeat, most picturesque and marvelous
underground scenery, in my opinion, in
the world. I do not see how anything can
surpass it. For more than five miles
winding passages lead through vaulted
and fluted chambers large enough to quar-
ter a regiment, past pools of crystal watt-r.
caught in glistening basins, through corri-
dors of enchanting beauty intovast and
silent cathedrals. and beyond archwcys,
in pass under which a child must how its
head—all filled will! slnluciilcs, kuolls and
columns, fashioned throngh the patient
and Coast-less work of centuries upon can.
turics into the most Singular resemblances
and similitudes that are startling. No-
where is there a Sign of life, except thatin
one huge cluunbcr a solitary but flutters in
uncertain circles amid the lofty tops of
fluted columns. No other but was seen
tiier(--—an(i this one was so wizoncd and
wrinkled that he might have been distilled
from the darkness and dungeon like va-
pors of the cavern-the one blind and
pinched and chilled evolution of acycie of
gloom and silence, There is one other
sign of lile~tlic skeleton of a bipmun be-
ing ludf imbcddcd in the bottom of a
gorge. Ages ago, this man, of perhaps a
race the memory of which does not sur-
vivv, was d..-ubilcas lost in the cavern.
Falling into the chasm, struggling against
its clanimy sides in the utter darkness and
filling the awful sliliucss with his dying
cries, he must have died there. And now
holiday crowds of a nice as strange to him
as the phantoms with which his last lcr
rors peopled [be blackness of the cave,
pause will! laughing speculation over his
lwnos, and the fee! of children run trip-
pingly over [he ways where he perished

Make Drunkenness a Crime.
The venerable Rev. Dr. Andrew P.
Peabody, bite preacher to Harvard col-
lege, in a recent letter on the sale and use
of intoxicating liquors expresses the be-
lief that the only remedy for inteniper-
aucenis IO make drunkenness a prime of-
fence, and to bring about a public feeling
in which drunkennesa'nnd all approaches
to it shall be looked upon with the same
discstcem. [naming and intense moral din.
approbation with which the attempt is
made to brand the sale of spirituous liqf
uors. He says: "Stigmslizc the sale
and the seller as you please, I care not
with how deep I‘bnlld, if you will only
make one deeper still for those whose vice
makes the sale infamous. The most of
ficicnt legislation in behalf of temperance
would be subjecting Intoxication in all
cascs'to ignominious punishment. What
the law makes ignominious, society will
hold in like disasteem. if a young man
of a respectable family is liable to be
locked up in a hours of correction for
coming home drunk from a convivial
gathering, not only will he be restrained
from estsive Indulgence, but his pal-
rents and friends will be very careful how
they start him on the first steps of the evil
Way. Making drunkenness infamous
would do more than all things cise toward
checking, and to _a very large degree en-
tirely preventing, the use of strong drink
of any kind in families and on occasions
of social festivity, am! Would multiply
bcyoiid any other conceivable cause the
number of total abstincnta.’-’—8elfleled.

Most persons have an ambition to carry

how I watch case is made, or the vast dif-
ference in thcquality of them. In a Scam
GOLD WATCH Cass, aside from the neces-
sarythickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifi'en and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
ble, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stifihass, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-fitting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James 3088’ Gold Watch Case
which saves the WASTE of need-
less gold, and mom-mars the 50mm and
mascara of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost our: HALF.

’Twas a beautiful Sunday morning,
The sky as blue as in June,
Although it was late October,
And winter was coming soon.
The sunlight flooded the roadside
The meadows and glancingbroolrs
But my heart was dark and gloomy ,
And gloomy and dark were my 1031...
For I was unsettled and troubled
As the question had come to me—
“Will you believe on the 8.“ “our,
Or not? Which shall it be ?”
I passed by countless people,
With gloomy unseeing eyes,
For that one thought had possession
Within me, and scemcd to arise
Between mo and Autumn’s sunshine
Blue skies and crimsouing trees - ’
Filling my mind so with darkness ’
That it blinded mcto all these. i
I entered the church as the organ
Poalod forth the opening hymn
Circling the arches and floating ’
Into each corner dim.
Grandly the great church echoed
The pulsing, jubilant song
That. pcalod from the gilded oggan‘, ,.
. _ _ And rose fl‘Om tho—gfitbim Illl'ollg.
The sunlight poured thro’ thewin
d
flattened to blue and gold, om
* But the pulpit was cast into shadow,
Where the tones of the organ rolled.
Then the notes sank down into murmurs
Lingcred and died away ; ’
And the jubilant song was ended
As the minister rose to pray.
So the service went on to the sermon
The sermon neared its close; ’
Yet still my mind was unsettled,
And st'l! the question arose.
“Will it never be answered—never ?”
I murmured with bended head;
When, with his hand on the Bible
The white—haired minister said:
“Oh, friends, why won’t you Moe '
. - pt Him ?
Thmk what He has borne for you I
Would one of you now in His service,
For thy neighbor the some thing do ?
“Think of the P. 'ucc of Heaven
Forsaken by everyone !
Even Peter, protesting he loved Him
Denied him are night was done! ’
“0h, friends, think how He has loved as
T!" 1k of the tears Ho shed ’
When told that the brother of Ma J
Who loved Him, was lying dead 1’
“Think of the score and taunt'ogs
He bore for love ; and how
He carried the cross on His shoulders
The crown of thorns on His brow! ’
“I leave it for your, deciding,
Dear fiends, oh let it be wise!
Think of the cross on His shoulders,
The e um: o’er His loving eyes i”
Just then ti: ‘ o’ the high closed window
A sunbeam struggled down
0n the snowy hair of the pastor,
Like a wonderful, dazzflug crown!
And the dear face mild and gentle,
Was glorified by that my
From God’s most beautiful sunlight.
As he mu! muted, "Let us pray l”
Once more through the wide, dim arches
The fioncs of the organ roiled;
And my glad heart throbbcd with the music,
For that toy from the sunshincs gold
Had settled the troublesome question
And it faded no more to arise,
The sunshine was gold, and the heavens
Were blue as Juno to my eyes
As I walked up the gleaming roadside,
Past the dancing meadow brooks ;
For my hoa;t was light and happy,
And happy and light were my looks.
80 the Father sends us His message
E’en by a ray of light!
And dear to me since that morning,
In God’s beautiful sunshine bright.

Mr. Topnoody’s Family. .
Mr. Topnoody and his wife went to
church last Sunday, and owing to a good
sermon and the warm weather, Mrs. T.
was quite impressed and softened.
"Mr. Tepuoody,” she said, more gently
than usual. “did it ever occur to you to
think on whatasicndcr thread hang over-
!asling,things P”
“Well, no, my dear, I can’t say that I
over examined the thread very closely
to see whether it was single or double
twist."
“Mr. Topnoody, you should not talk so
lightly of solemn things. Who knows that
we may be alive to-morrow ?”
"No one, Isuppose, my dear, and in
that respect we are as well posted as our
friends."
“You may scoif and jeer as you will,
Mr. Topuoody, but those subjects are not
to be disregarded.”
“Well, my dear,,I am sure I do not dis-
regard them. I’d like to know if I didn’t
pay a thousand dollars for a lot in the
cemetery and spend five hundred more
in trimming it up and making it comfor-
table ?"
“I know that, but such work is merely
temporal. It is the spiritual which is
more worthy of consideration. What a
blessed feeling, Mr. Topnoody, it is to
know that when we have fulfilled our
earth iy mission, there is a home for us not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens,
where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at rest.”
“Yes, love,” replied Mr. T., slowly and
cautiously; “I thought of these things in
connection with you and myself and our
pilgrimage here below, and now when
you have ceased from troubling I shall be
at rest.”
Then Mr. Topnoody got away before
Mrs. T. could change the subject—[Mer-

An old sea-captain who was converted
to faith in religion and who earns a living
by peddling patent medicines, yesterday
spoke of Jay Gould’s account of his pray-
ing for help when in trouble. The old
man added: “I used to be about as wick-
ed as you make ’cm. I lost my ship and
and was torsiong time sick and desti-
tute. But I turned to the Lord.- One
day I was walkiu’ these streets and was
half-starved. I stood still a moment in
front of a block of brown-stone houses
and put my band over my eyes and pray-
ed God to help me. When I opened my
eyes I saw fluttering before me a dollar
bill. It must :bave been thrown out or
have blown on! (-I some window. I'look-
ed up but could soc no one, so I conclud-
ed that the Inn! had sent it to me and I
was thankful. I have never been in
actual want sincr."—[Tribnn0.
A Clever Reply.
Some time ago a working man was
urged by his employer to do some work
on the Sabbath. The man courteously,
but firmly dvcliued to do it. “Why!”
said the employer, “did not our Lord
himself say ‘that the Sabbath was made
for man 1”" "Yes, sir,” was the shrewd
reply of the workman; “you are right—
the Sabbath was made for man, and is
therefore no! to be taken from man."
