Convention that the proceeds of his crops

here to-nightr'
''This afternoon, between four and five.
1t seemed like night, it was so dark" she
answered, equably,' but in spite of her
self she could not prevent vivid flush
rising to her cheeks.
you told me he had given over COM
ing"
I understood him to say so, and he replied
that he did not call to-day professionally
but just dropped in as he was passing, to
inquire how Leopold continued: He told
me little bit of news, too, about him
self," added Maria to her husband, af-
fecting to speak gaily. Il will repeat it
to you by and by"
When the chfld's bed time arrived, in-
stead of Finch coming for him, it was
Charlotte.
"Where's FinchY demanded Mrs.
Yorke.
"Sbe's gone as far as the village,
ma'am. She wanted to buy some ribbons
at the shop"
"Why did she choose such a night as
thisY returned Mr.. Yorke. "How stupid
she must bel she will lose her way"
"She took lantern, man," answered
Charlotte. "she said she did not care
for fogs. She wont be long"
Charlotte went off with Leopold, and
Miss Hardisty smiled. Servants are
sadly wanting in common sense, many
of them"
II suppose Finch had previously fixed
on tonight to GO out, and of course she
could not bear to disappoint herself but
must 60, fog or no fog. It's just like
them"
Mr.. Yorke lay back in his easy-chair,
and seemed to sleep. His wife apologized
to Miss Hardisty, saying that he bad had
hard mornings shooting, and seemed
"done up"
About nine o'clock Finch came bursts
ing into the room-her things on, just as
she had entered the house. She was pant
ing for breath.
10 ma am, I don't know how I've got
got home, what with the fog, and what
with the fright! There has been such an
awful murderl'
''Where?" asked Mrs. Yorke.
"Close on the other. side the village.
Some thieves set upon farmer son riding
home from market, and shot him, and
pulled him off his horse, and beat him
about the head till he died, and then ri-
fled his pockets of his watch, and money,
and then left him in pool of blood" ve-
hemently reiterated Finch, all in breath.
"He was found about five o'clock, and the
village has been up in arms ever since.
Everybody out of their houses"
Mr.. Yorke sat bolt upright in his chair.
His eye glittered upon Finch.
"a pretty talel" said he to his wife and
Miss Hardisty, as Finch few off to impart
the news to the household. This is how
stories get exaggerated. There was no
horse in the affair, and no robbery, and
it was not farmers son going home from
the market"
you heard of it, then?" exclaimed
Miss Hardisty.
"Yes," was Mr.. Yorke's reply
"And never to have told usT' remon-
strated his wife. "You say it was not a
farmers son. Do you know who it is?"
"Janson. Murdered in his own garden

and tears, and clasping his wife to him,
reiterated how passionately he.loved her.
Maria grew alarmed. She had never
seen him like this. Resentment for his
groundless suspicion would have prompted
her to turn scornfully from him: but she
did not dare. She only repeated, in as
conciliatory tone as she could bring her
angry mind to allow, that she had no un-
worthy thought connected with Mr.. jan

He seemed to believe her. He did be.

and in the morning, when Mr.. Janson
paid his visit to the child, Mr.. Yorke
spoke cordially to to him, and offered him
his hand, a mark of favor he had never
condescended to vouchsafe before.
But who can put away at will the
pangs of jealousy2 There is not an earth
ly passion that is less under control. As
the days went on, it returned in full
force to the unhappy Mr.. Yorke, throw
ing its own jaundice over his sight and
hearing The most innocent movement
of his wife or Mr.. Janson, wore to him
but one Interpretation; the common
courtesy of hand-shaking would excite
him almost past repression. He said
nothing more to his vile: he watched; and
though he saw no tangible thing that even
jealousy could take hold of, he grew only
the mere convinced that they were play
ing a part to deceive and blind him. If
you ever felt the absurd passion of jeal-
ousy in its extreme force, you will under>
stand and recognize Mr.. Yorke's self-tor-
ments. They really did border on insan-
ity.

CHAPTER XII.
A PREMATURE DISCLOSURE.

Horror rose to the countenance of Miss
Hardisty. 1t ia natural it should SO rise
when a woman hears of such a crime
committed in her vicinity. But what
was her look of horror, compared to that
overspreading the face of Mrs. Yorker
A living, shrinking horror, which perva-
ded every line of her features, and turned
them to the hue of the grave.
Strangely tumultuous thoughts were at
work within her, flashing through her
brain in quick confusion. "Janson who
sat by her side that afternoonl He muir
dered Who had done itY'
Mrs. Yorke seemed incapable of re-
plying. Her husband spoke up volubly:-
"Janson was the village surgeon. You
heard Leo say he was here tonight. He
has been attending Leopold; but 1
thought had ceased his visits. A fine
young fellow. Unmarried"
"Who can have been so wicked as to
have murdered himY wondered Miss
Hardisty.
"Ahl Who indeedr'
allow did you come to know it?' in
terrupted Mrs. Yorke, lifting her white
face to her husband.
all news travels fast. As l reached
home tonight, some people were passing
the gate, apparently in excitement; l in
quired what their trouble was, and they
told me. 1t was the gardener and his
wife, up above, returning home from the
village"
Finch said he was shot," observed
Miss Hardisty.
"He was not shot, Beaten to death.
"Finch's account may be the correct
one, instead of the gardener and his
wiie's," said Mrs. Yorke in a low tone.
"She said he was robbed. Shot and
robbed"
HE was not robbed, tell you, Maria,
said Mr.. Yorke. "Have it so, if you
like, however. Shot and robbed, wha
matters itP''
Mr.. Yorke went to sleep in his chail
again, or appeared to go to sleep, and the
ladies conversed in an under tone, Maria
shivering visibly.
About half past ten, they were startled
by a sudden and violent knocking, which
came to the house door. Startled Olivit
Hardisty, her mind and tongue full o
robbers and murders, gave vent to a fain
scream, and Mr.. Yorke sprang up from
his chair with start, as if he woulC
leave the room, halted in indecision, an,
then sat down again. A deep silence sue
ceeded, and again the knocking came
louder than before. They heard a ser

SUB SILENTIO.
BY MARY L. RITTER.

Hush! the night is calm and quiet,
And the crescent moon hangs low;
Silence deep and wide hath power,
And the south wind wanders slow,
Through the easement where the curtain
Family rustles to and fro.
Like q spirit softly signing,
Fits II all the chambers round,
Where the dim lamp, fading, dying,
Just dispels the gloom profound,
Hangs above two happy dreamers,
= By loves perfect promise crown'd.
Even through the gates Of slumber,
To the shadow land Of rest,
He still clasps his love sought-tressure
Closely, closely to his breast,
With the afdor of passion
Long denied and long repressed.
With his lips still warm with kisses,
Close and cIinging as his own,
Signing still, in happy dreaming,
For the joy his heart has known
Sweetly, peacefully be slumbers
In the arms about him thrown.
And she gazes at him thinking,
Not of all her dreary years
Only Of this isle of glory,
Reached with many doubts and fears,
Over loves frail bridge of rainbows,
Fading in a mist of tears.
Then she nestles still more closely
To the heart SO kind and dear,
Whispering, "loye me, love me, darling,
All my hope and rest is here,
And without thee, earth is nothing
But o desert cold and drear.
"0h, that every night my slumbers
Might be so supremely blest,
Bounded by thy dear embraces,
Kissed from passion into rest;
I would ask no better heaven,
" Sheltered thus and thus caressed."
Fan them gently, OdOrOus south wind,
And be gone on pinious fleet,
Nothing in thy nightly journey.
Shall thy wandering vision greet,
Half as perfect in fulfllment,
Satisfying and complete.

NEW "HUB OF CREATION"
Minnesota occupies the exact center of
the North American continent. 1t lies
midway between the Atlantic and the Pa
cific; midway between the Arctic and the
Tropic circles; and midway between Hud>
sons Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Its
name is derived from the Dakota Indian
tongue, after its principal river, and signi-
fies "cloud colored," or "sky tinted wa
ter" The name is peculiarly apt and ap-
propriate. The water of the Minnesota,
contrasted with the dark, cofiee-colOred
flood of the Mississippi, possesses that pc
culiar tint of slightly colored sky which
is compounded of many colors.
This important region was almost Who'll
ly unknown to the Anglo American long
after other sections of the country, far les:
attractive, had been subjected to the rein
ing influences of industry science, and re
ligion. Indeed, until within the last TWEEN
ty-five years, few sounds save those of VILE
beasts and still wilder men broke the still
ness of the awful solitude: the prairie. lax,
and river were alike the possession of tb'
savages.
