She darted to the door and opsned
it. Not only Jennie and her mother
were petrifed with the mingled
emotions of the occasion, bnt Edgar
Osterson, her lover, when he rose
to follow this strange, this beauti-
full, this good woman, had traces of
tears in his eyes, and he could not
speak. And in the SILENCE, az they
passed out into the night, the figure
of the poor woman's daughter
doomed from the dark doorway of
the squalid house, watching the car
riage as it rolled through the grimy
Orland Place, and long after it had
been lost to sight and hearing.
When Otterson could speak, he
said to her whom he loved so deep>

She made no reply. The carriage
rumbled on--and after a long ST

Otterson whispered to her as he
assisted her from the carriage-'If
you only knew how l love you p
but she seemed not to hear.
They entered the gay rooms and
mingled with the maskers. 1t was
late when they left Nyssa had not
danced. She seemed to have lost
her cheeriness of spirit the moment
she mingled with the jewellers. She
appeared sad, she was so quiet, so
meditative, ard so unlike herself.
Otterson noticed it, but he loved
her in any mood.
1t was only in the carriage, on
her way home the glare and glitter
of the brilliant rooms still burning
in her memory and painlng her
brain, and the crash of the orches,
ira still reverberating in her ears,
that che murmured:

Aud her beautiful head fell upon
the shoulder of her lover.
Thus ended Nyssa's masquerade,
They were married a few months
after.

A STRANGE AFELICrlON.
Three Mcmoefs of an indiana Family
The Victims.

NEW ALBANY, Ind.-The family of Capt.
John Box, consisting Of himself, wife, two
nspbews aud q niece, residing two miles
north Of this city, are strangely afflicted.
Capt. Box, his wife aud one nephew sre all
para,yzea 10 tie arms and lower limbs, and
Capt. Box will die. At first their disease
was thought 10 be malignonS .ypho mals-
rial fever; but . paper of arsenic having
been found in the pocke,s Of one Of tse
nepbews, and bis conduct being somewhat
singular Of late, owing 20 complications he
had fallen into with q young lady OF the
neighborhood he desired to marry, but
which his uncle had forbade him doing, he
was suspected Of poisoning the family.
Be'og charged with shs c'1me, be strenu-
ously denied il, and finally it was concluded
he was innocent.
Now, there Ia q new feature revealed In
this singular disease, and the physician at
tending the family-D,. Lennon, agensie-
man of q eat medicioal skill and expert
ence-pronounces the disease milk-sick ness.
Old 20; tiers recall the fact that forty years
years ago milk-sickness prevailed on tho
farm on which he Box family ,esides; and
it is believed lhe open winter and wet
spring have developed the long concealed
souices Of he dread disease, and The fam
lily have been inoculared with IL through
the water on he place instead Of the milk.
There are several peculiar springs on The
fal m that give some basis for Ihis theory.
Whatever the disease or the caase, IL Is not
improbable that 1t will cause death 10 three
members OF the unfortunate family.

The Passion Play.

The perfos nauces of .be Obe,-Ammer-
gan Passion Play for this year we'e begun
on Monday last 10 the little BAya ian VII
lage. This unique speciacl 10 prescott.
once in ten yeas, aad is 40 event Of over
shadowing importance 10 the p,ivate CON-
munity where it .ook its rise. The play
represents he pass,ons and c,ucifxion Of
the Savior. Whac would be regarded else
where as little short OF blasphemy is here
lifted into an ac.ual religions service by the
veneration Of The simple minded peasantry.
No hired acsoss ais employed, and few
stage effects are permitted. 1t is considered
the highest honor 20 be allowed 10 share iu
in the performance. The chief characters
are represented by villagers, who are
mainly wood-carveis, and 1t Is held as
special distinction to be selected to bear
the role OF "Christ." Joseph Mayer,
whose face resembles strongly the pic NJ es
of the Savior, played the part Of our Lord
in the representation Of 1901, and has
been again selected for the same duty this
year. He is said to have aged somewhat,
but his fine peusive coun' enance is uo-
changed. Jacob He,s, who played the
part Of "Pster," aud Gregor Lechner, who
appeared as "Judas," have beeo retained
10 their old places, aud at the rehearsals
we're said to &C. with consumaie skill
There will be twenty. performances Ia
all, mainly at regular intervals OF week,
the last being given on Sunday, September
Goth. Tho second performance will be
given next Sunday. Each representation
begins ut 8 o'clock 10 The morang aLd
closes 1t in ihe afternoon, an hours inter
mission being allowed &C midday. The
play is In three parts aud seventeen scenes,
inter spsrsed With many tableaux, aud the
ac.ion is interpreted by fine choruses Of
villagers. The theaser built of wood. will
seat 5000 persons. A portion OF ths house
is rooted IN and provided With comfortable
seats. Tho greater par. however, Is fur
nished with common beuches without
backs, and like the sage, is open to the
sky. A dispatch says that over 5000 pei.
