CONCLUDED.

CHE half withdrew from him, and yet
- his love was soothing to her then.
Let mine be the hand to wipe those
tears away, my poor Rosel" he said,
touching her cheek with his delicate
hand. " Let my name be the one to
shelter you, my love be the love to con-
sole you. Speak but the word, Rose,
and you are safe and happy
"Oh, what shall 1 do ?" murmured
the girl, looking away from him.
Am so hateful to you that you
would rather be ruined than come to
me ?" he asked reproachfully.
Rose turned toward him again, and
softly laid her hand in his, but with
drew it instantly when he would have
clasped it.
"You are very kind, dear Clarence"
she said, tremulously " but l do not
know what to say now, except that 1
thank you. Please let me CO."
She rose from her seat, putting him
gently away from her; then, as if fear
ing that she had been unkind and un-
grateful she held out her haud and lifted
her pale face.
60 Clarence ~ she said, Z" if 1 seem
ungrateful to you ever, forgive me! God
will reward you if do not. Pardon me
now if 1 seem abrupt. You cannot
know what 1 suffer. My head is in a
whirl, my heart is bursting. l am rich,
Clarence, but find that riches bring
neither protection nor happiness. had
no such misery when 1 was a poor little
pauper girl, nor when 1 was at the con-
vent. felt safe then but now, even
though you offer me protection, do not
feel safe. 1t must be because am an
orphan, and ignorant of the ways of
the world. Don't say any more now. L
want to be alone"
He drew back from her clear,pure eyes
and faint blush deepened in his cheek
as she spoke to him. Perhaps some mo-
mentary shame touched his heart for
the base falsehood he was wringing that
girls heart with.
{" I will tell you to morrow" she said;
and, turning away, left the room.
1t was already evening, and Rose did
not appear again that night. After an
hour or two Mrs. Burkhardt went to her.
She found Rose on her knees with her
face bowed forward to the lorie-dieu.-
The lady waited moment, but as Rose
did not stir, she went to her, and stoop-
ing, put an arm about her figure.
"My dear, can 1 do anything for you Y''
she asked tenderly.
" No, thank you," answered Rose,
in suppressed voice, without raising
her face
"Won't you come out and sit with us
while2 Clarence is very unhappy
about you"
6 l must be alone to night, said Rose.
"Thank Clarence for being SO kind.''
"What shall tell him, dear ?' urged
Mrs. Burkhardt. "Shall 1 say that YOU
will give him the best thanks that he
could receive, by consenting to become
his wife without delay? 1t is your only
course, my dear; and that once done,
all will be right

can say nothing tonight. l will
tell him in the morning." she said.
And, fearing to urge her too much,
Mrs. Burkhardt was obliged to content
herself with that.
Goodnight then, dear" she said,
kissing her affectionately.

Edison's Electric Light.

Mr.. Ellison has at length completed and
secured patents for the two inventions by
which he claims to have solved TIE two
great difficulties in the way of the COM
mon application Of the electric light.
These difficulties We're. first the apparent
n'!ivisilili.y of the current from tie main
generator TO two or more burners or. a cir
c,it; and second. tie daEgpr of leatlng
the conducting platinum to Il poin, of f,l-
sion. 1t is said t,at these difficulties seem
to be wholly overcome by tie inventions
for whici, Edison has jus, received letters
patent. He is believed to lave solved the
problem OF regul ting tie supply of di-
.ided light. ANA also by ingenious auto
matte. contriynnc,-s he has nlde the supply
of electric currents self-rcuul.tiny and just
adequate for producing de proper degree
of illumination without any danger of
melting the wires. The He1uid SAYS to-
day tha, If EiiSon's inventions are what
he cl,ins them 10 he. all gas stocks will in
few wears be worthless. unless the COM
panics protect Themselves by purchasing
