her husbands mood. She saw the
black cloud shut down over his face in
s.antly, and ST., iclt that her least mo-
tion would be watched with lynx-ike
narrowness.
But she must get that ring, and before
she put on her gloves again. "Tom,"
she whispered, not looking at him,
scarcely moving her lips, and her face
placid as sunshine, "give me that ring
at once, as you value my life."
"Great heavensl' murmured Tom;
sit is at the goldsmith's."
The CONSERVATION and. pleading in
her eyes would have ruined her had not
her husband trodden on Miss Ormond's
train in the general seating, and been
a moment preoccupied. In that mo-
ment Tom, nodding excuse to his neigh
Dor and to Mr.. Maynard, slipped into
the hall, and was back again before the
rustic had quite subsidized. It seemed
to Lucia as if every oyster were turtle;
slipping her soup was like the effort of
the old woman to sweep the sea from
her door. Through roast, entree, course
by course, what interminable torture
was this she endured She would have
declared they had been at the table
half the night. All the time she felt
her husbands glance pursuing her,
while she manipulated her hand to
evade it; and all the time she had to
talk with Mr.. Maynard, and give her
repartees on this side and the other, as
if the gayest of the gay, with no more
idea Of what she was saying than if in
trance. What an eternity it was be-
comingl what a reckoning was to followl
She was receiving the punishment of
her deceit thousand times. Dazed and
dizzy, a scarlet spot on either cheek,
she felt hardly able to keep her chair.
She wanted to scream out to her hus-
band the whole story; she was afraid
she should.
The prairie. chicken was being served,
when she saw, as if in dream, o
waiter, who had just come in, stoop.
ing to pick up Toms napkin, and side
long glance showed her Tom fumbling
with tiny parcel. In another breath
it was all right. The color left her
cheek she understood what was said
around her; the prairie-chicken had
some favor. She stretched her hand
for bit of bread. "I beg your par
don,' said Tom, "this is your roll, 1
think" And she crumbled the roll be-
tween them, and the ring touched the
tip of her finger, and with the help Of
the crust and the table cloth she wor-
ried it into it's usual place while answer
ing Mr.. Maynsrd's question as to her
preferences regarding game. And as
she raised her hand to brush back o
love-lock falling too low over her bean.
tiful eyes, Mr.. Donald Mcdonald saw
the blood-red flash of the ruby gemmel-
ring.
But it was not till year and a day
that he heard the story from his wife's
lips, and forgiving her for her part,
promised better fashions for his own.--

sedimentary deposit, and valuable

that requires it. Water facilities for

We are not nervous people, wrest-

move steadily onward to some pur-
pose Of improvement, and would all
unite to welcome the average man.
Give us a railroad and we will fur
