CHAPTER II.

A dozen years have elapsed since the
events recorded in the last chapter. Jean
Guyot is dead. His son is now young
man of twenty-three, and is standing by
the very bed in the little chamber where
we first made his acquaintance. Madame
Guyot is lying on the couch, and the old
doctor is at Jacques side.
Dear Jacques, am going" she mur-
INJURED almost inaudibly, "and yet l
would gladly have seen you and Annette
married before my death but Heavens
will be done" The son did not reply.
lie knelt by the bedside, and held his
mothers hand in his.
&" 1t was your fathers wish" she con-

childhood Her parents died soon after;
and she went to live with her uncle, who
has never favored your union" Jacques
was still silent; and she proceeded
"Since your illness, the year of the last
great drought, you are much changed in
character. You have grown melancholy,
and have tried in vain to bring back
your naturally cheerful temper. Remem-

and Daughter.
ABOUT a year ago a man named A. w. Full
lie moved to Atehinson, Kan, and lived
alone IN the house with his daughter-at
least everybody thought so. They lived in
pretty good style and appeared eminently re-
| spectacle. Some of the neighbors felt dis.
position to he neighborly, and one OF them
called toscrnpe mp an acquaintance with the
young lady. Fullic told the visitor that she
was afflicted with epilepsy and seeing a new
face always threw her into fits. And she left
without seeing the girl. The father was
always seen about the house, and the neigh
boring women got an idea into their heads
that there was some sort Of mystery connected
with that family. One day they heard screams
over the way, and then these sharp cared
women were certain that Fullie was beating his
poor epileptic daughter
Things continued in this way for several
days, screams being heard almost daily, until
the good folk could bear the suspense no
longer. SO they opened their hearts to the
police of the town, and told them what they
had seen and heard, and a detective was in
structcd to shadow the house and its occu-
pants. One day Fulle went out of town, and
then 1t was thought II would be healthy to
investigate. They found the girl within, and
told her their mission. She was timid and
tlustered and starty-evidently uneasy about
something, but she did not fly into fits. She
stated that her father had gone to Kansas
City to get work, and would not be back for
some days. They started 10 go down into the
cellar. She forbade them going, but they
broke the door open and went The cellar
was dark and stiflingly close. In one corner
Of the cellar was nearly naked woman
shackled and chained. By her side was
dish containing some bad-looking meat
and hard bread. The explorers had
arrived at the heart of the mystery and
plucked it out of the dark cellar. The woman
said she was the wife of Fullie and
the step-mOther Of the girl. Her husband
said she was crazy, and had kept her chained
there year. She denied the charge Of in.
sanity, and was glad somebody had come to
release her from her dungeon. She was
brought up into the light and looked pale and
haggard, but showed no crazy signs. The
girl was gone when the ascent of the cellar
steps was made. She had been suddenly
seized with a fit-Of leaving. The woman was
taken to neighbor's house and washed and
dressed, and came out a very respectable
looking lady, as gentle as a lamb and as SEN
siblc as any other woman The mystery was
solved. The epileptic young lady has, left the
town, and neither she nor her tender father
have returned to welcome the restoration to
reason Of wife and step-mother, nor to accept
the congratulations which the indignant peo-
pie of AtchinsOn are waiting to shower upon
them when they show their handsome faces
within the borders OF that municipality.

The Man with the Branded Hand.

AT last evenings session of the Old
line AbolitiOnists in this city, an interest
ing account of "the man with the branded
hand" was given by Mr.. Ira Porter,
formerly of Michigan. Jonathan Walker
was his name, and for his abolition prin-
ciples he was, in 1843, branded in his
right hand with two letters, rs. S. sig.
nifying slave-stealer, by order of the
United States Marshal Of Florida. He Is
now seventy-seven years of age, and lives
in Muskegon, and, but for his poverty
would have been in attendance at the re.
union here. In moment of enthusiasm
the convention proposed contribution
for him, and to-day Hon. X, r. Derrickson
sent to the worthy old gentleman of the
stranded hand" the identical money re-
ceived-bills, currency, pennies and all
amounting to $03.15. We doubt not wher
the old man takes this, not large, but

FESTIVAL OF THE ANNUNClATIoN,- ester
day in the Episcopal and Catholic churches
of this city the festival OF Annunciation Was
celebrated with the solemnities incidental
to the day. This festival, which has its an
nual recurrence on the 25th Of March, Is OBJ.
served in commemOration of that most pro-
found mystery "the Incarnation of the Son
Of God" which, after being prophesied and
foreshadowed under the old dispensation,
was at last announced by the message Of an
angel as about TO be accomplished. The
great design of the ancient Church In making
special provision for the yearly commemora-
tion of the Divine Incarnation was no doubt
for the double purpose of thankfully honor
ing the wonderful mystery and also to guard
against the possibility of the supreme i'm
portance Of It's teachings ever being lost
sight of or denied-faith in the fact of the
Incarnation Of the Son Of God being re-
garded as lying at the very foundation of
&c the faith once delivered to the saints"
At st. Peters cathedral, at halfpast 10
O'Clock, solemn high-mass was celebrated by
Rev. Father Janssens, assisted by Rev. Fa-
ther Charles as deacon, and Mr.. j. Tiernan
rs sub-deacon. The sermon Of the day was
preached by Right Rev. Bishop Lynch. of
Charleston, s. G., wl6, after reading the
Gospel from the + <1st chapter of st. Luke,
wherein it is recorded that "thc angel Ga
briel was sent from God to announce 10 the
Blessed Virgin" the wonderful event of the
conception and birth OF the Saviour, pro-
ceeded to deliver IA eloquent discourse in
portrayalof the virtues, goodness, and great
ness of the "blessed among women"-th
mother of the Redeemer. The congregation
was unusually large, and the words OF tht
venerable prelate was listened to with pro
found attention..
The afternoon services consisted Of Yes
pers and :: :Benediction of the Blessed Sacra
meDt," but the Wednesday nights Lcntel
services were dispensed with.
