declares Adrian, unconvlnced.
1t is some lingering remnant of
grace. some vague human shrinking
from the crime that has begun to form
itself within his busy brain. that now
induces Dynecourt to try to disSuade Sir
Adrian from his declared intention to
search the haunted chamber for the
lost bangle? With all his eloquence he
seeks to convince him that there the
bangle could not have been left, but to
no effect His suggestion has taken
firm root in Sir Abrams mind, and at
least, as he frankly says, though 1t may
be useless to hunt for it in that uncan-
ny chamber, it is worth try. 1t may
be there. This dim possibility drives
him to his fate.

As Arthur finishes his speech sinis-
ter smile overspreads his pale features,
and quick light, as evil as it Is pierre
ing comes to his eyes. II But SIR Adrian
sees nothing OF this. lie is looking at
his home. as it stands grand and ma
jestic in the red light of the dying sun.
He is looking, too, at the old tower,
and at the upper portion of 1t, where
the haunted chamber stands, and
where he can see the narrow holes that
serve for windows. How little could
man imprisoned there see OF the busy
world without.
Eyes, I'll remember" he says testing
~. when the ghosts of my ancestors
claim me as their victim, and incarcefs

advice"
"You don't mean to go there, of
course?" asks Arthur carelessly, whilst
watching the other with eager scrutiny.
1T is quite a journey to that dismal
hole, and it will be useless"
We'll, if it distreSSes you. consider l
haven't gone" says Sir Adrian lightly.
That is right" rejoins Arthur, still
with his keen eyes fixed upon his
cousin. Il knew you would abandon
that foolish intention. | certainly shall
consider you haven't gone"
They are at the hall door as these
words pass Arthur's lips, and there
they separate, Sir Adrian leaving him
with a smile, and going away up the
large hall whistling gayly.
When he has turned one corner, Ar
thur goes quickly after him, not with
the intention of overtaking him, but of
keeping him in view Stealthily he
follows, as though fearful of being
seen.
There is no servant within sight. No
friend comes across Sir Adrian's path.
All is silent. The old house seems
wrapped i'll slumber. Above, the pref
ty guests in their dainty tea-gownS are
slipping Bohea and prattling scandal;
below, the domestics are occupied in
their household affairs.

love for the generous dead. and in the
heart the rapture of high resolve.
And then ambition with its lust of pelf

Its breast distinctions worthless badge.
Then keeaer thoughts of men, and eyes

CIIApTEIs. VII.


1t is now golden September" and a
few days later. For the last fortnight
Florence has been making strenuous
efforts to leave the castle, but Dora
would not hear of their departure, and
Florence, feeling it will be selfish of
her to cut short Dora's happy hours
with her supposed lover, signs, and
gives IN, and sacrifices her own wishes
on the altar of friendship.
1t Is five O'Clock, and all the men,
gun in hand, have been out since early
dawn: Now they are coming stray
Cling home, i'll one or twoS. Amongst
the first to return are Sir Adrian and
his cousin Arthur Dynecourt, who,
having met accidentally about a mile
from home, have trudged the remand
er of the way together.
On the previous night at dinner, Miss
DClmame had spoken of small gold
bangle, faYorite of hers, she was
greatly in the habit of wearing. She
said she had lost it-when or where she
could not tell; and she expressed her
self rs being very grieved for its loss,
and had laughingly declared she would
give any reward claimed by any one
who should restore it to her. Two or
three men had, on the instant, pledged
themselves to devote their lives to the
search; but Adrian had said nothing.
Nevertheless, the bangle and reward
had remained in his mind all that
night and all to-day. Now he can not
refrain from speaking about it to the
man he considers his rival.
odd thing about Miss Delmaine's
bangle" he remarks careleSsly.
Very odd. dare say her maid has
put ii somewhere and forgotten it."
Hardly. One would not put a brace
let anywhere but in a jewel-case or in
a special drawer. She must have
dropped it somewhere"
Il dare say; those Indian bangles are
very liable to be rubbed off the wrist
But where? | have had the place
searched high and low, and still no It'd
inEs of it eau be found"
There may have been since we left
home this morning"
Just at this moment they come with
in full view of the old tower, and its
strange rounded ivy-grown walls. and
the little narrow holes in the sides they
show at its highest point that indicate
the position of the haunted chamber.
What Is there at this moment in n
mere glimpse of this old tower to make
Arthur Dynecourt grow pale and to
start so strangely? His ewes grow
brighter, his lips tighten and grow
hard.
DO you remember he SAYS, turning
to his cousin with all the air of one to
whom a sudden inspiration has come,
that day when we visited the haunted
chamber? Miss Delmaine accompanied
US. did she not?'
Yes'-looking at him expectantly.
Could she have dropped it there?'
asks Arthur lightly. by Jove, it
would be odd if she had-ehp Uncanny
sort of place to drop ones trinkets.n
1t is strange l didn't think of it be-
FORE, responds Adrian, evidently
struck by the suggestion. "Why. It
must have been Just about that time
when she lost it. The more think of
it the more convinced 1 feel that it
must be there"
Nonsense, my dear fellow; don't
jump at conclusions so hastilyl 1t is
highly improbable. l should say that
she dropped it anywhere else in the

shadow tails, so called probably becsuse
they curl their tails over their backs and
sit in its shadow. Although belonging
to this family the ground hog can not
cast much of a shadow with its short
tail. The name of the animals immed-
late genus Is ruarmot, and this particular
one Is known to science as arctomus
modax. The first name means bear
mouse. both on account of the shape of
the breast and the peculiar bear-like
shape of lis skull. The marmots are
not a numerous tribe, as Only eight
species have been found. In our country
the best known are the ground hog and
the prairie dog. The one is not hog
any more than Is the other a dog, but it
Is so called because the woodchuck digs
or roots IN the ground and the prairie
dog has little sharp bark, somewhat re-
sembling dogs.
PROBABLY nons Of our common animals
Is as little known as the woodchuck. The
reason that 1t Is crepuscular In its habits
that Is, 1t comes ont of its burrow most
ly during twilight either early morning
or evening. They are much better known
to the evils, bats, and other proslers
than TO the daylight folks. Besides they
are not seen through the winter, because
of their habit of alternating. They dig
their holes near rocks or stumps, mostly
IN the woods, having it ascending first
TO keep out the water, then it goes to q
considerable depth, with different COM
psrtments, in which they store up food.
There Is usually more than one entrance
but as winter comes they close up the
openings, and retire to lie in dormant
state until warm weather.
Like most of our commoner animals
the woodchuck has legend connected
witt Its habits. 1t is most solemnly as
serted, and firmly believed that on the
! I'd day OF February the ground hog
| shakes OF his leth8rgic sleep and saliies
| forth to take an observation OF the CON
| dition of the weather. If the sun is
| shining so that he sees his shadow. he
| at once retires to his hole and remains
| there for six weeks because his private
| signal service notifies him that there are
| to be six weeks more of cold weather; on
the contrary, if it is cloudy he stays out
| because winter is then a an end. So il
| comes that Feb. 2 is called Ground Hog
! day.
In Germany there Is a similar proyerb,
ial expression. They say that the badger
peeps out of his hole on Candlemas day
| (Feb. y, and if he finds snow, walks
abroad, but if the sun is shining draws
| back into his hole" 1t is not improbable,
| says a writer, that these notions, like
she festiva! of Candlemas itself, is deriv
| ed from pagan times, and have existed
since the very infancy of our race"

Ground-hogs are social in their habits,
aud while they do not congregats in such
numbers as their brothers, the prairie
dogs, yet several burrows are always
near each oth,r. Their range is from the
Hudson bay on the north to South Caro-
lima, and while they are never found
near the sea-coast range as far west as
the Rocky mountains. They have fam
lies consisting of from four to five little
ones, and have but one brood ir each
year.

with very strong claws, with which 1t tears
down the aunt-hilis, and sweeps dozens of
them in its NAV by means of its long,
slim, sticky tongue. 1t is about five feet
long, covered with coarse hair, and digs
deep holes in the ground. It is said to
dig faster than a man can follow with a
spade.
The abandoned holes of these animals
are often used by the natives to bury
their dead in, and save the IL ouble of dig

Bill Nye,s Failing Health.

Chicago News.
With sincere regret we hear of the failing
health of Bill Nye. the popular humorist
Mr.. Nye had a serious illness three years
ago while he was still resident of Wyom-
ing; it was in the hope that change of
climate would restore him to his Old-time
vigOr that he removed to Wisconsin. The
change did seem to benefit him for awhile;
perhaps if he had remained in the quiet of
his pretty Hudson home our bright and
lOvable friend might now be as robust and
as hearty as he ever was. But Bill Nye
is a busy man and conscientious
man; he has deemed it his duty
to improve every opportunity to provide
for his family and for himself against the
rainy dayS-and there have been many
rainy days in Bill Nye's life-whO among
the rest of us poor devils does not under
stand it all? SO Bill Nye has work ed
hard and patienty-many times when he
has been ill OF body and sick OF heart: yet
out of his pain there has come much good.
as will testify all of us who have been 50
thoroughly warmed by his delicious humor.
Within the last year Mr.. Nye has been al
most constantly engaged lecturing. and
this employment has taken him into all
parts of the country in every kind OF
weather. necessitating exposure and all
those Irregularities which surely impair the
health. The result seems to be that the
genial humorst's physical condition is
quite as alarming as it was three years ago
when he came from the far West with the
poisons of malaria in his veins. Mr.. Nye
tells us that unless some change for the
better sets in very soon he Will be com
PEELED to abandon all work for an indefinite
npriOd
