THE EDIcT OF FATE.

THE library in Mr.. Tn velyan's elegant
country residence was one of the pleasant.
eat apartments imaginable, and on that
bright summer morning seemed the EN-.
bMliment Of GOODNESS, shade and fragrance
from the dark green carpet that covered
the floor like q sheet Of emerald velvet,
the lighter green silk curtains and damash
furniture. to the cleaning statucttes the
white aud gold calf bound volumes in rows
Ut shelves from floor to ceiling.
Outside the sun shone, and the birds were
having a perfect carnival Ut song in the
warm fragrant air.
Everything seemed 20 pure, 30 peaceful

the green cloth Of the centre table, and hi.
eyes looking down on Il ymond Santclle,

outlines.
