She shrank away hiding her face in her hands.

She shrank away, hiding her face in her hands.
"Eleanor" soothed Adela, "my carriage is at
the door. This is no place for you, ~
Il should have thought once - walled El-
eanor with hollow laugh. s'But since my baby
died. and my husband left me for another woman 8
smiles, care little for things that would once
have shocked me, You have no reason to love
me. Adelai Why do you come here,
All the time Adela was wrapping the ragged
covering closer around the wasted form.
Tome she said, gently bridget viii help US
But, Adea, the-the bracelet You have lot
forgotten that night ?''
Il have forgotten nothing, Eleanor--least of all
that We were old school friends in days that have
long since departed
A week afterward, Eleanor Parsons died-died
ciasping Adela's tender hand. and praying incO-
herently with her last breath that He who has
hidden us forgive that we may be forgiven -
would reward the care that had been Iavished On
her dying hours
And Adela Almayme has laid aside the diamond
bracelet that was her husband's wedding gift and
wears instead a simple circlet of gold fashioned
like unseIed flower stem, with cluster of tur-
quoise forgetme nots upon the clasp.

very heavy explosion, producing in many

cause were expressed. some surprising it TO

from an intelligent gentleman who, at the
time. was standing Gpon oneof the wharves.
that the light was so dazzling that he irvnl-
unfairly covered his eyes with his hands.
and was thereby prevented from observing
whence it proceeded, but that the report, af-
ter an interval of more than a minute, came
from The south. He noticed also that she

a peculiar rumbling sound, more monoton,
Gus than is usual in the reverberations of
thunder. 4 colored sentinel before the
Roper's Hospital described il as a falling
star, and pointed to the southern heavens
as the region from whence it descended

Now don't be sorrowfnl. prayl
For: taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day
'Tis rainy weather, my darling;

Our eads they are growing gray;
But, taking the year all round, my dear,
You will always ind the May.
We've had our May, my dsrling,
And our roses, long ago;
And the time of the yea. is coming, my dear.
For the long dark nights and the snow
But God is God, my darling.

ual hand which was shown from an aper-
ture in a cabinet used, supplied himself
with a syringe filled with ink and, watch
ing favorable. opportunity, squirted the
dark fluid over the digits and wrists of the
phantom member. On emerging from the
cabinet, the hand of the lady who had
been previously bound inside was examined,
and the inky marks literally found upon IT,
The consequence was a announcement of
the affair as humbue, denial of the i'm
peachment and a grand finale. made up of
an Indignation meeting of the audience,
and the passage of resolutions declaring the
demonstrations of spiritualism a very deci-
ded physical cheat.
