IN WIG AND GOWN

Lady Hayward had been to London
to see her lawyers about some urgent
business, and, leaving Lord Hayward
to entertain the guests during her short
absence, had gone alone, or rather with
her maid. She had staid the night in
town in order To bring with her a new
dress for a ball which was 10 be given
at the castle the following evening.
AT last the carrisge dashed up to the
door, driven very fast, for the coach-
man knew 1t Was late. The first per-
son who emerged from it was an ex.
ceedingly quiet.looking, weIl-dressed
young woman-the maid evidently.
She quickly disappeared and was fol>
lowed by Lady Hayward, who ins
stantly seized her husbands arm.
"I want to speak to you," said Lord
Hayward, "before you dress; there's
just time.''
He foil ,wed her up to her dressing
room, where tea was waiting on little
table by the fire. Lady Hayward's
maid had just put an easy wrapper
temptingly ready, and was busy get
ting out dinner dress for her mistress.
81 will send for you in a few min
utes, Taylor" said Lady Hayward ;
and the perfectly-trained servant van
ished at once.
s.I wonder whether it's that girl,
after all ~ exclaimed Lo.d Hayward !;
yet it seems impossible
"Don't talk enigmas," said Lady
Hayward imperilously; "there isn't
time. What is the matter?" She was
pouring out her tea as she spoke, and
now began to sin it,
"More things have disappeared, }"
said Lord Hayward, in a low voice,
ssand this time it's worse. The Old
Duchess has lost big diamond ring,
and your sisters diamond necklace is
gone."
Lady Hayward put down her tea.
"Vernon, this is awful" she said.
"What are we to do? Who can it be
It's absurd to talk about Taylor; she
was with me in town."
"Ah, but we can't tell exactly what
time the things were taken; she may
have gotten rid of them in London
1t was when you took her to town
with you last that your diamond
brooch went"
$50 it was" said Lady Hayward
"But that makes no difference. The
brooch was taken while we were away
Besides, the thing is absurd. Taylor is
above suspicion, I know the girl &C
well. Why, Vernon, she went with
me all through France and Italy when
1 joined you in Rome: we were always
together, and l used 10 talk to her q
great deal. She is very superior
girl. No; it would be most unjust to
suspect Taylor"
"Well, there is no one eIse," said
Lord Hayward dejectedly, "excep,
poor little Rose Mannering."
.sPoor little Rose Mannering" was
the governess who took charge of theiI
one little girl.
| s.Absurdv ~ said Hayward. And sc
it was on the face Of it. They knew
Rose Mannering's family well; sht
was a lady, and little more than s
child.

beds Of Green and Table mountains, JEFF

is of the tertiary age. The mineral is
found in cavities in which there is a thin
coating Of pale-bluish chalcedony. upon
which the mineral is deposited in deli
cate tufts and spongy masses composed
OF short, hair-like needles. loosely
grouped together. These needles, when
examined under the microscope, are
found to be colorless, transparent prisms.
