A WREATH OF ORANGE
BLOSSOMS.


At this moment the lady in deep black
uttered low cry. II caught Icons ears,
and he turned just in time to see the lady
move away.
"Hemr he laughed a didn't know we
had company. Rowland. I'm cure that
lady must have been highly entertained
with our conversation"
He little dreamed what q vast apoun,
Of truth he had spoken.
The lady hal been interested-very
much so.
And no wonder was it either, when the
said lady was none other than Ethel Dan
vers.
CHAPTER III.
A month passed away, and during that
time Ethel Danvers had seen but little Of
Rowland Saxby.
She had heard all about the engage
ment, not from Rowland, but from Grace
Thorne herself Yes; Ethel had cult
waited her acquaintance, and acted to-
wards her as q great friend and we'll
wisher.
Little did Grace guess that this was
only mask-a mask which concealed
feelings of far different character to
friendship.
Ethel hated Grace with a most fearful
hate. While she congratulated her upon
her coming marriage with Rowland, she
wished that it would please Heaven to
smite her dead at her feet.
While alone, her manner was indeed
terrible. Alone in her dressing room, she
would pace the floor after the manner Of
= Gagged tigress.
Her mutterings of hate and her long
ings for the time to come when she could
take terrible revenge upon the girl who.
she thought. had weaned from her the
affections Of the only man she had ever
loved, would have shocked the stoutest
heart.
She did not pause and consider the
matter very carefully. Her hasty, I'M
governable temper would not allow her
to do that.
She did not think whether Rowland Sax
by had ever limited one sentence to her Of
love.
Had she thought over that she would
have been, compelled to admit that he
never had.
But this was her principal thought as
she paced the room day after day, night
after night:
II am not to be his wife, but by the
Heaven above me, she never shall-never!
would kill her and then myself. Aye,
that would. and die happy-happyy"
One morning Leon was announced.
He did not often make his appearance,
and although Ethel was by no means in
. good temper, he was ushered into her
presence.
Making profound bow, much after the
same manner as a courtier before the
throne, he said:
IL hope see Miss Ethel quite wellr
..well, yes, think So"
-That's right. I've some good: news
for you"
"Have you, indeedi ! am very glad,
for one so seldom hears good news now"
"This"-and Leon produced note-"is
for you"
"From whomf
rMr. Rowland saIby"
Ethel started, but Leon did not notice It.
She stretched out her hand for 1t, tore
II open, and read:

Blexley House, the residence Of Sir
Rowland saxby, was q noble building
built in the Gothic style from Sir Row
lands own designs.
Attached to it was lovely park Of
some twenty acres in extent, well wooded,
and with a charming lake through it.
The interior Of the house corresponded
in every respect with the exterior, for it
contained some Of the finest furniture to
be found in all England.
Statues and pictures Of exquisite work.
manship adorned almost every room, and
the entrance to the building was guarded
by several mail.clad knights, who, IL
must be admitted, never raised q finger
to hurt anyone, nor turned their heads
either to the right or TO the left, by day
or by night.
On one side Of the building was Sir
Rowland's study, and here he was pleased
to show any one Of his numerous inven-
tons, some useful and others--so, 30.
Sir Rowland had made large amount

Real Estate.

The prospect for activity in the real es-

number OF properties have changed hands
lately and we bear OF others who are on

mand is being met on the other hand by

there is not likely to be vacant house i'll

weather Notes.

The cold snap of last week was follow ed.
as might have been expected, by an old
fashioned snow storm, which set in during
Saturday night and by morning on Sunday
had the ground covered with its tfeecy
mantle. The snow continued at intervals
during Sunday morning and at noon about
five inches of snow lay upon the ground,
to the work of removing which from side
walks and paths all hands speedily devoted
themselves. The attendance at church and
Sunday school was much interfered with
and it was stay-at-home Sunday of the
most decided kind. Monday it rained,
showed and hailed part of the time, and
part of the time it did neither, but Monday
night another snow storm set in and about
the same amount fell as on Sunday night.

Ganae i'm orr Lower Counties.

The deer season in New Jersey closed
on Tuesday, the 30th ultimo. Reports
received from the lower counties are to the
effect that but few have been killed. This
was probably due the dry and unfavorable
weather during the short open season for
the deer seem no scarcer than usual. Six
were killed in the vicinity of Clayton,
Gloucester County, four being divided
there on Friday Smaller game is more
than usually plentiful in South Jersey, but
if the snow which fell this week remains
long it is likely to prove fatal to
many of the younger and weaker quail.
Rabbits have been slaughtered in great
numbers, but are still quite thick. De-
tective Platt, of the West Jersey Game
Protective Society, reports but little snood-
ing of game throughout South Jersey. He
has just completed tour of Salem County,
and found but one set of snoods, which
were destroyed.
