enough. was addressed 10 the Ducness,
not the Duke.
But Madcap had little faith in Franks
rehabilitation nOw-it would be only
whitewashing a sepulcher, she thought,
as she looked down into the little ugly
face OF a green-man orchis that Dody
had plucked out of the hedge and
brought to her; and the ugliness of that
little freaked representation of man
hood showed handsomely to her beside
the outward presentment Of Franks
moral iniquity.
Behind her the hedge curved sharply
on either side, so that she seemed to sit in
green elbow-chair, whence to gaze out
at the moving panorama of life in the
meadow beyond. Now and again,
a neighboring field the delicate perfume
OF blossoming beans, cresting all other
scents as minor key of music will
separate itself from the louder chords
around it to penetrate to the inmost
sense and heart; and as Madcap leaned
back, with Dody's green-man in her
hands, she forgot Frank in thought
subtle and sweet as the scent itself.
There had lately come change in
her looks-the difference between q
June rose stepped in sunshine, spark
ling with dew, and white musk rose,
that in its Titania-like tender beauty
woOs us nearer to gaze at the purity
and softness of its petals; and it was
this change in her that moved both the
mems hearts as one, and set them Shout
der to shoulder, to guard her against
the mere possibility of harm.
And thus hedged round by love
vigilant, devoted as mothers, it SEEM
ed as though no evil could reach her;
but the intense stain, the ever-recur-
ring dread, were becoming too much
for even Mr.. Eyre's iron frame, though
he had not yet realized that, beyond a
certain point, suffering might pass be-
You'd his own control, or that physical
effects of mental causes might take
matters into their own hands and carry
him beyond his will; but Frank observ-
ed many signs in him that escaped Mad
cap, and entreated him in vain to seek
change of thought in travel.
Mr.. Eyre, however, stood firm; he did
not believe in running away from fate,
he said, and Madcap was better at home;
there was his book, too, that he was
just then busy on, and if he could ward
off those sudden fits of sleep that over
powered him at odd moments, he would
be as well as ever
Even to Frank he did not show what
was in his mind; his habitual reserve
made it easy to drop the veil as he
pleased; but could Frank have looked
within, he would have been appalled, at
the glimpse afforded. A proud man,
hitherto above the necessity of lying,
Mr.. Eyre found his present life of dis
honor and subterfuge worse than death;
his freedom gone, with that sense of
security in his life that he had so keen
ly valued-,fettered, poweress, the part
that he had personated becoming harder
to him each day-he might have ex-
claimed with Caussin. that he who loses
conscience, has nothing left that is
worth keeping.

Saturdays Accident ut BrOOksvilIe.

Freight train No. 10. A. Holland. con-
ductor. bound north, was wrecked at
BrookSville between one and two o'clock
last Saturday afternoon. 1t was COM
posed of the engine Gov. Page
George Dunton, engineer. and Is cars.
The cars began to go of the track about
40 rods. north of Brooksville station,
where there is slight curve to the west.
Fifty or GO rods further on is cut. with
nigh banks. The cause of the accident
was bend in the track produced by the
heat of the sun on the rails. The rails
were the new steel ones. laid last season.
1t was bright. sunny day and the rails,
in expanding. sprang to one side, instead
of raising up. The engine passed oyer
the track safely, but all the trucks of the
tender were thrown off. Its connection
with the engine was not broken. hOwev-
er. and the engineer succeeded by put
ting on Il full head of steam in keeping
his machine out of the way of the cars.
Five of the ears were piled close to one an
other in the cut, right across the track,
blocking it completely. Nine other cars
had the trucks torn from under them
and were more or less broken up. 1t is
very seldom that train is so completely
wrecked rs this one was. Fortunately
most of the ears were empty. One CON
tanned quantity of red analne dye
stuff. consigned to Wells, Richardson a.
Co. of Burlington and used by them in
the manufacture of " Diamond DIVES.
These packages were broken and the
contents scattered over the track and
spattered on the trees and telegraph
poles, giving an exceedingly CORY aspect
to the scene. As matter of fact none
of the train men was hurt. A brake
man, who was standing on one of the
cars that went over, ran to the rear of
the train when he saw the forward cars
going oil, and so escaped. The fireman
wanted to jump, but the engineer held
him and probably saved his life. The
force with which the cars went off was
tremendous. Some of the trucks went
into the banks of the cut almost out of
sight. \ number of large telegraph
| poles We're broken down and one OF two
trees.
Passengers from trains Saturday night
and Sunday morning were obliged to go
on foot around the wreck A wrecking
train arrived from Rutland by four
o'clock Saturday afternoon and by Sun
day night the track was clear. Opera
tions were considerably facilitated by
the opening of a temporary telegraph
Office at the wreck, with c. b. +. Palmer
of New Haven as operator. Many peo-
pie from Middlebury and other places
about visited the wreck Sunday and wit
messed the work of cleraing it up. By
Tuesday afternoon the wreckage had all
been taken away.

At one of our recent lyceumS there was

kept until morning, disclosed on Fred
Gonyea. The latter, being cornered, own
ed up and was fined the usual $40 and
nearly Sc costs while LaFrancis was re-
quested to loan the State about $50 as
fine and costs. Circumstances look as
though there was an organized plan to so
disturb the lyceum as to break it up al
together. If let alone. it will probably
adjourn sine die of its own action. Its
meetings have been very successful and
interesting and source of much amuse-
ment and information.
