All, let it pass, let it pass. l cannot put
down here in cold blood all that transpired
in that hour Of holy joy, when our souls met
and mingled together under that awful
shadow of doom which each would SO gladly
have borne alone, if only the other might
have been saved from it.
But before we could part on that day when,
If ever i'll the pure eyes Of the angels, two
souls were made ono under the awful bap-
tism of sorrow, there was one task which 1
was compelled to discharge. A harder one
was never laid upon me.

I said. "You do not know how I have
wronged you; you can never imagine the
cruel injury I have done you"
She looked at me with a smile as proud and
bright and loving as that which a mother
turns upon her first born babe.

my side, not afraid to share the pain and
degradation in which I have been plunged

For a moment she seemed puzzled, and
then a smile that almost might be called one
Of gayety lit up her face.
"Ah. I see what you mean. But surely
that is not what you can mean when you
speak of having wronged me. You did what
was right-what l myself would have done
in your place. You suspected there had
been foul play, and you behaved like an

Yes; and then I would never have known
the real nature of the man with whose love
God hos blessed me. would never have
known that no was one who hurried across
sea and land to be near me in my hour Of
trouble, and who WAS not afraid even of the
shadow of shame, SO long as he could
share it with me-"
The mercy of God is infinite; and some
times it is breathed In its highest and purest
form through the dear voice of a woman.

well-nigh mad with grief and horror at this
period of my career, and that I should un-
doubtedly have been quite mad If It had not
been for my overpowering consciousness OF
the fact that I had one paramount duty to
discharge-the duty Of rescuing my darling
from the web Of evil circumstances In which
she had been enveloped.
1t was not until I had spent two days of
suspense at Barton that Mr.. Eastmead
brought me the glad news that Daisy, having
received the letter which I addressed her on
the morning after my arrival in the town,
had successfully applied to the magistrates
for an order admitting me to the prison.
found my beautiful darling in the office
Of the governor, for her position, her sex,
and the fact that as yet she had not been
committed for trial, enabled the prison Off
cials to exercise a considerable degree of
leniency in their treatment Of her.
She was terribly changed since I had seen
her last on that happy night when we plighted
our troth in the garden at the old hall. The
color was gone from her face, the beautiful
her lovely eyes had the strained look which
one sees in some noble animal Of the desert
when it is in confinement; and her figure,
clad in the simple black dress, looked very
frail and unsubstantial.
With a cry that went up from the very
bottom Of my heart I ran to her and clasped
her in my arms, needless Of the presence of
the matron. We were In a prison; she a
captive lying under the most terrible of all
accusations; L the man who had been the
wretched cause of her being brought there.
Never surely in this world before did two
lovers meet each other under circumstances

which we spent there, in the mean room Of
the Jail, under the hard eyes of the female

CHAPTER XII.
AT THE BAR.

Ineed not dwell upon the events that i'm
mediately followed llaisy's arrest Too soon
I was compelled tn admit that tho web of
circumstantial evidence woven against my
darling was only too close and complete.
There were two examinations before the
magistrates, in addition to the preliminary
one; but I shall not delay my story by re-
ferring more particularly to them. At the
end of the last examination Daisy was COM
mitted to the assizes at York for trial on the
capital charge.
l had been constantly in attendance upon
her during this terrible time, and, along
with DR.. Branksome, I had adopted every
method of obtaining evidence on her behalf
that presented itself to me. But all our
efforts had been in vain. We could not
adduce a single fact that tended to break
dow that dreadful chain Of discriminating
testimony which was woven against her by
witnesses both willing and the reverse.
1t was after Daisy's final committal that
Branksome and 1 quarreled. Up to that
moment I had been constantly with him
and had taken his advice in every matter
concerning the tr.al. He on his side had
treated me with q gentleness and frankness
which had strengthened his hold upon my
feelings. Tie had never referred directly to
the fact that it was my action at Trondhjem
which had set the fatal engine of the law in
motion. He had even listened to me with
grave attention when l openly declared my
belief that Flinter was at the bottom of the
mystery and that he had probably worked
through some accomplice at the hall. When
he had asked me where that accomplish was
to be found. / had told him of my meeting
with Gregson and had suggested that if we
could lay hands upon this man we might
perhaps obtain some clew to the real origin
Of the tragedy.
He was evidently surprised by my account
Of what Gregson had said to me on my jour-
ney by rail to Great Lorton Hall; and, after
considering the matter for some time, he ad.
mitted that the first step to be taken was tc
discover this man and learn the meaning Of
bis declarations The finding Of Gregson

Branksome took into his own hands. HI

A Busy Place, or Otherwise.

But friendship itself, asking neither
money nor any other service, may easily
destroy its object by over-devotion. Few
men have the courage that was formerly
attributed to Mr.. George Bancroft, who,
it was said, gave daily orders to servant
to admit no visitors until 2 o'clock; it being
his further custom, when the clock struck
two, to go out for a walk. 1t is necessary
for men and women to decide whether
the world is to be for them busy place
or otherwise; and if they once decide to
have it busy one, it will probably grow
buster and buster for them up to the end
of their days.
In your youth, time seems elastic and
endless; and we have, as the Indian said,
all the time there is. In growing older,
we have, as Emerson says in his
Terminus, to make our choice 'twixt this
and that, 1t would be very pleasant
could we plan out series of successive
lives for successive worlds, to devote
every other world to our friends and the
public, keeping each alternate world fol
our work. But meanwhile it Is 8
perpetual problem how to divide oul
time between these objects in this world
and how to give each the lions share

How the French Utilize snails.

It is but poor philosophy to despise
snails because they are eaten on the
other side of the channel. Snails that
feed ON vines are considered best for
cooking, Put some water into a sauce
pan, and when it begins to boil throw
in the snails, and let them boil quarter
of an hour; then take them out of their
shells; wash them several times, taking
great pains to cleanse them thoroughly;
place them again in clean water and re-
boil them for quarter Of an hour. Then
take them out, rinse them, dry them and
place them with little butter in a
frying pan and fry them gently for few
minutes, sufficiently to brown them;
serve them with some piquante sauce

A Great Nasoent American Empire


was talking to Mr.. Joseph Nimmo,
who has been on the commissian upon
the line of the Northern Pacific railroad
to look at the resources of the country
there. He told me that there would be
huge empire in the west, reaching from
western Dakota to the Rocky mount
aims, and covering Wyoming territory
and part of Montana. He says that
agriculture out there will be under en-
tirely novel conditions. There is plenty
of water to put on the soil by irrigating
organization, and this water will be
more reliable than the rains in the east.
because it will never disappear, and can
be thoroughly regulated, but it can not
be provided by the individual farmer,
and must be let to him with water rates.
Capital will find its highest and best
form of investment there, but the nature
of the agriculture will be different from
the individualism of the east. At the
present time that country is full of cattle
in the midst of winter, who are keeping
themselves warm by filling their bellies.
The country on the Northern Pacific is
rather milder in climate than the high
knoblands on the Union Pacific railroad.
Its elevation is lower, as can be proved
by steamers going as far up as Fort
Benton, ON the Missouri river. Mr..
Nimmo thinks that this interior of the
United States, brought to perfection by
engineering skill and applied capital, will
support enormous multitudes of men
and make populous states, He has
obtained all the data to make a report
upon the subject.-"Gath" in Cincinnati

A "Leviathan of Languaee..-

At Bologna in Italy it is proposed to
erect monument to the memory Of
Cardinal Mezzofanti, who was probably
the most learned Hnguist that ever lived,
he having the mastery of 135 languages
and of f1fty-four dialects. The cardinal
was in his own person a refutation OF
the saying Of DR.. Johnson, that "a man
who spoke several languages never said
anything worth hearing in any," He
astonished Byron in his English, who

The San Francisco Chronicle tites the
case OF an extraordinary surgical opera.
ton which shows the value Of cocaine. The
patient was a blacksmith whose skull had
been fractured by a blow and who had be-
come almost idiotic from the pressure OF
the splintered bone on the brain. But by
the liberal use OF cocaine the skull was tre-
panned, an opening being made as large as
q silver dollar. The patient showed no
sign Of pain, even when splinters of bone
were extracted from the brain, or when the
brain matter was pressed down. He was
able, after the operation, to walk to his
bed, and in q few days he recovered his
reason. The case is proof OF the great
value Of cocaine in surgery, for under the
old methods the chances would have been
greatly against recovery after so dangerous
operation as this.

China has learned something during the
past lew years from it's contact with the
outside world, one of which is the artistic
use OF the subscription book. That conn.
try is about to build a bridge entirely Of
stone over the Simeon River, in Stunning
City, Canton, which is to be a mile and A.
half long. To defray the expense Of build.
ing this structure the government has sent
subscription lists to all parts OF the world
where Chinese congregate. The subscrip-
ton lists for the United States, Mexico
and South America were received at the
eastern headquarters in San Francisco
about six weeks ago and Immediately sent
out. The lists are in the shape OF long
books. the outside of which informs the
Chinese reading public that subscriptions
may be entered OF the inside for the bridge.
The books are placed in all stores and at

All the money received is sent to the six
companies in San Francisco and sent it to
China. Butte Cinnamon have not been

This country happens to be better in all
respects than Mexico; it happens to be
