ty of the girl who had Tilted me
After | had seen Berthold in
the insurance Office, I watched
more diligently than before, and
frequented more than formerly
such places Of public resort as ]
imagined Rose and her husband
might attend.
One morning, hurrying up
Broadway, | had o glimpse of
what looked to me like Roses
sylph-like shape entering picture
gallery. Instantly / dasted af-
ter her up the stairs.
/. 1t was indeed she, looking a
little scared a. first at The sight
of me, but blooming into some
thing more than even tie old
vivacity under the reassuring
warmth of my manner. She was
more beautiful than ever, and /
was truly glad to see lip and cheek
glowing with such fresh carnation
tints, to behold the clear, snnny
gleam of her liquid eyes.
Till Imet her so, had scarcely
realized that had entertained any
foreboding thoughts in her con-
nection. Unconsciously / had
pictured her to myself as pale
and fading. But this creature,
with her tropical bloom and laugh
ing eyes, Knocked such visions
sorely. She was evidently hap
py. | must have wronged Ber-
thold In those thoughts in which,
though I had not acknowledged
it to myself, l had attributed to
him the possibility of unkind-
ness or injustice in any way to
the woman he bad beguiled from
me.
AS we parted, and Rose gave
me her little hand, she named her
address, and invited me cordially
to call. She colored slightly at
my words, but did not urge me.
Probably she felt that it might
not ke pleasant for her husband
and myself to meet.
Less than a week after this
meeting, having business in that
part of town, / deviated little
from my direct route for the sake
OF passing by where Rose lived
/ met her husband half a dozen
doors away, and not seeing him
i
soon enough to avoid passing
him, kept TRANQUILITY on my way.
His eye did not light on me till
we were close upon each other, as
he strobe along with his look up
on the pavement, his lips Set in
the same sneering smile l had no.
ticed in the Insurance Office.
At sight of me the smile froze,
bis face turned TO q chalky white,
and he stood a single helpless in
slant, the incarnationof the blank:
est terror / ever beheld. 1t was
but second. He rallied SO swift
ly, and shot past me with acourt-
ly lift of his hat, that | half
doubted that / had seen an unu-
sual expression on his counte-I
nance.
Glancing back involuntarily,
Berthold had vanished, but | i'm,
agined / could see the glitter of
his white teeth beyond some thick
foliage which draped a yard
near By.
"Re is watching TO see if | will
go in," thoughtI, and ! hurried
past without once glanciDg at the.
house. How i hated the false
pride which made me do SO, af-
terward.
Early the following week, up
on entering the Office in the morn
ing, I was startled BY the an
nouncement from my uncle's lips,
that Rose Berthold was dead. /.
reeled as though he had struck me,
and leaned heavily upon my desk.

though with the coquetry that j

vacious and changeful tempera

wary of showing me her heart
she had in the end confessed thai
she loved me, and consented thai
we should be married in December
In November, while / was a
way in New York, clerking for
my uncle, who belonged to an in.
surance company, she became the
wife of Carl Berthold, a haDd-
some black-eyed foreigner, who
had invaded our rural precincts
about the time Of my last yieit
home, bewitcbing the girls, and
driving the boys frantic with jeal-
ousy.
Twas jealous with the rest, but
l had Roses promise, and though

ling, and went back to the city tci

were married.

One morning coming into the
Office from an errand down town,
my uncle remarked to me
"If you had been here ten miu-
utes sooner, you would have seen
as pretty a couple as I ever be-
held. They took out a policy for
ten thousand dollars for EACH
Sensible pair, eh?'
I smiled as I turned to my
desk, and opened the ledger in
which was recorded the names Of
parties insuring, and the amount
insured for. The last entries up
on the page were yet damp
"Cdn1 Berttold-Rose Bertbold."
Idon't know what came over
me, but / shut the book as though
l had seen ghost. Fortunately

As he passed the money to my
uncle, his sharp white teeth shone
In a smile that seemed more like a
sneer, and he received his two
policies back, with their new en-
dorsements, with an almost au.
dible chuckle.

disease. It's all right, of course
He has the proper certificates
two physicians that I know and
one that | never heard OF. But
somehow ] can't make it,seem SO.
Instantly it flashed over me,
the remembrance of Berthold's &
singular change of countenance
when / had met him just a week
before. Well might the mans
lace blanch, and his eyes start
with terror, thinking / was going
ito his house, perhaps. 1t all
seemed very plain to me at that
lHoment.
"Uncle," / said, "Rose Ber-
thold was murdered. | saw her
mot two weeks ago, and she was
as well as ! am this moment"
"Rose Berthold? You don't
know her" exclaimed my uncle.
"Yes | do" and then I told Linn
|
all, even to meeting Carl Berthold
that morning, when, if | had
glanced towards his house, | should
[haye doubtless beheld some sign
of deaths awful presence within
there, and might, perhaps, have
been surer of circumventing this
villain.
My uncle was enough of my
opinion to decide to have the
matter investigated. Nothing
came Of that investigation, bowev-
er. If my poor Rose had died un-
fairly, there was not the slightest
discoverable proof of the fact.
There was nothing more to be
done then |; but / was not salts
fed. At the bottom Of my heart
lurked yet the belief that Carl
Berthold was a murderer. He
received his ten thousand dollars
and left for parts unknown.
Five years after, the company
with whom | had remained and ris-
en- in favor, sent me to England on
business of importance.
Upon the same steamer with
myself was Carl Berthold. I
knew him at once, though be did
not recognize me. l had changed
more than he had. My hair had
grown darker, and / had a heavy
beard. My pulse took quicker
throb at sight of the beautiful
creature who leaned confdingly
upon his arm, evidently a bride
of short standing. She was
dressed richly, and wore on her
white fingers several rings which
must have been of great value.

at her belt, and which from time
to time she glanced at, wds set
with brilliants of the first water,

thought it a singular turn of cir
icumstances, to say the least, the
more, that that very night there
was a sudden death in the hotel,
my old rivals lovely wife. Ilcould
not help wondering if her life
had been insured.
The physicians summoned to

American Science.

The American Association for the AID.
vancement of Science met at Troy, N. Y.
august II, and continued in session one
week. The number of members was fully
as large as at any previous meeting.
Ihe papers presented concerned diver
slty of topics IN every branch of science.
including even political economy and
finance. The papers of practical char
acter we're numerous. Of those on general
subjects, the essays of Professor Wincheu.
OF the University of Michigan, have been
spoken of as among the most Interesting
and ably written. One of them described
the notifications which are produced
by the Great Lakes upon the tenn
perature OF the surrounding coun-
try 1t showed that the dis
trlcts west OF the lakes are much cooled
by their influence, 50 that the isothermal
lines are greatly ds Elected, while the dis
trlcts on the East are warmed to such an
extent that the growing season is from six
to thirteen days longer on that side than
on the other. Another paper by Professor
Wlnchell described some curious mag
netic wells in Michigan, which have the
property of polarizing iron and steel when
plunged in their waters. Another paper
bore upon the theory of the antiquity of
man. The advocates of extreme antiquity
lay much stress on the evidences
which they claim to have discoy
cred of the association of
human relics with the bones of extinct ami
mails. Professor Wincllell described re-.
mains of the mastodon found in Michigan.
IN situations which seemed to indicate that
they must have been deposited within five
hundred years. This supposition, if sus-
tanned, would dispose of most of the arpr1-
ments for asserting length of human life
much greater than that allowed in the
scrlptural account of the creation. Pro-
lessor Hall attempted to answer it, but
seemed to SO entangie himself as to destroy
the force OF his own argument. Professor
LOOMS explained the theory of the relation
between the spots on the sun and the Au-
rora Borealis, and the periodicity of the
greatest intensity of both, which occurs
once IN about ten years. This subject at
tracts much attention at this time, as we
nave Just been passing through one of the
periods OF extreme intensity. Professor
Agasslz presented the evidences which he
had discovered of the former existence of
'ocal glaciers in the White Mountains,
Considerable attention was given by the
association to the investigation of the Bees
6emer process for manufacturing steel, the
proximity OF the works at Troy affordiny
opportunities for the purpose which may
not soon occur again.
