CHAPTER XVIII.

She knew now she was lost She had even
no strength left to frame new lies, and she
abandoned herself and threw herself upon
the floor, where she writhed in sobs and gasp
ing groans, but no tears came to relieve her.
She crawled to his knees, and gasped: "My
son, my son, do not curse me. Pardon me.
You are on the threshold Of life and know
nothing of its passions. avow you were not
deceived. You know the truth, but oh! do
not curse me for it. It would be horrible
from you, whom have so loved. Oh, Ray
mond, my son, see how supplicate you. I
have repented SO bitterly. If ! could have

which we call magnetism, the fever which
had so sapped her youth and strength, we
know not, but as the hours went by she grew
easier and better, and when morning came at
last she opened her eyes in reason again.
In the meantime Roger rode toward the
dying woman as fast as his horse could 60.
Julia listened, listened, but no sound Of
horses feet broke the stiffness Of the night,
and she writhed in her agony as sb cried:
"He will not come. He will not pardon
me. Pierre, pray you, 60 to the window.
Do you hear them? Go down in the court
yard and see if they are coming. Quick,
Pierrel cannot see. They will be too late.
Oh, why do they not come, and Raymond
He did not stay for that one little word that
might have soothed my dying bed. He did
not pardon his unhappy mother"
Pierre went and looked. He looked several
times, but they did not come.
@He will not come!" cried Julia in agony,
and already her features took on that awful
pallor Of the dead, when a horses hoofs were
heard. "One, only one," she whispered.
"He will not forgive. Oh, Pierre, Ray.
mond"
Steps came rapidly up the stairs, but just
as the door opened and Roger Laroque stepped
in, Julia drew her last breath, and it was be-
fore her inanimate corpse that he knelt, and
then, when they told bim she was dead, he
bent over that marble forehead and kissed it
with lips almost as white, saying: "God TO
give me as I do you, julia"

Leaning over the form of Luversan, hardly
breathing, Roger listened.

the only guilty one; l had an accomplice."
And here the feeble voice stopped, and Lu-

and honorable name"
"All is forgiven" said Roger. "You
thought you were doing your duty. All ask
is the restoration of my good name, for my
Door, broken-hearted wife"
While they were talking Tristot stepped to
the window to wipe his eyes, and as he
looked out they wandered mechanically to-
wards that little balcony where the unhappy
young mother saw the fearful sight disclosed
in Larouette's house. He thought he saw
something lying upon the balcony where the
young mother and child had stood on that
fatal night ten years before. The moon
sh6le through rift in the waving branches
of the chestnut trees, and Tristot felt sure
that he saw the white, upturned face of q
woman, and in that one brief moment hc
thought it looked like that Of the unhappy
woman whose death was so deplorable.
Ho did not believe in ghosts or tho re-
embodiment If spirits, or he would have
been afraid; Us it was lie gave half articu-
late cry and sprang through the open win
dow and from there to the ground, some six
OF seven feet, and in all instant was speeding
across the lawn that Roger had newly trim
med and restored to its former beauty, for it
crieved him to the heart to see tho place
which was sacred to him by thousand en-
dearing memories so neglected and forgotten
Tristot, in few leaps, had crossed the little
space and with the agility Of monkey he
climbed up one of the columns which sup
ported the balcony, and when there he found
the inanimate body of the poor young wife
who had been supposed dead so many years.
AS soon as he satisfied himself that Henri
ette was not dead he gave peculiar whistle,
which caused Pivolot to suddenly turn to the
window, as if it were a sign which he we'll
knew, and lie answered it by jumping incon-
tinently out upon the sward and rushing to
Tristot, who said in whisper:
"Bring the rest and lights quick and take
care Laroque is kept away from this woman
until give the signal If am not greatly
mistaken it Is the lost wife"
The three men who had remained by the
side of the dead assassin heard Pivolot as he
called, and lie told them to bring lights and
come with all possible speed to Villa Mon
talais, where something remarkable had
taken place. 1t was only then that they. all

WHAT A BLIZZARD is.

A blizzard is simply strong, cold
wind moving unchecked over leagues
of light, unpacked snow. It sweeps
up that which has previously fallen,
carries it away in the color of vast
shaken fleece, distributes it 50 that
each atmospheric atom has its little
particle, and drives along all with
a steady fury. Whether fresh snow
is falling can seldom be determined
by people out in real blizzard. AS
far as the eye can see upward, and that
is but little space, the hurry Of
minute pellets hurting through ether
across an unrevealed sky prevails,
and the hurrying sameness on every
side is varied only. occasionally by
tall and bending Wraiths where the
wind whirls in shifting column. A
confusion of the senses, comparable to
none produced otherwise, appals one
submitted to the enormous and
binding force of such snow.filled
wind, and scarcely a distinct thought
remains except that the awful cold
forbids crouching for rest and shell
ter. To our personal knowledge,
one in such storm keeps with diff
ficulty upon a railway track lifted
three feet above the surrounding
prairie, and may be lost by five steps
the wrong way after stumbling down
from the embankment, which, be-
ing white, becomes instantly invisi-
BILE. 1t is recorded on good authori-
ty that teamsters halting with their
horses have been showed over thirty
feet deep by blizzards, and have sur
vived by beating out breathing cham
bers till the cessation of the storm
enabled them to dig themselves to
upper air. The formation of a-drift
about halted man, or horse, or
sleigh, is sometimes wonderfully
speedy, and the drift, once establish.
ed, grows by virtue of its obstructive
ness. In some we'll authenticated
cases lost persons have been found by
the drifts over them and dug out
alive in others, the spring has re-
vealed corpses still unthawed among
the last white relics of winter. In
billiards people have often been un-
able to see across the street of
Northwest town, and sometimes men
lose their direction in trying to reach
the opposide side of well-built way.

All sorrow was over The shadows passed
which had obscured the lives of these noble
but unfortunate people. Suzanne and Ray
mond were married in the fall, and then they
learned that Pierre, the quiet and reserved,
had found another lovely young girl whose
beauty and sweetness calmed his sorrowins
heart and they were to be married at Christ
mas.
Roger was vindicatcd before the world
which had condemned him, and he took lis
wife to the White House, where they renewed
their youth in their Joy, with the added
sweetness Of the remembrance of their past
sorrows.
The only ones who were not glad were
poor, old mother Dubois and her husband,
who for all the rest of their days mourned
the gentle daughter they had lost.

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

We scarcely know any error into
which people are more ready to fall
than the notion that certain lines Of
business are low. ooh! it would be
looked upon as so low. I can't do
such a thing as that. I should feel
ashamed to be seen following such
low occupation" And so on, with
numerous excuses equally ridiculous.
What this thing is which is called
low we have never been able to un-
derstand, for it varies in different
places, and is never exactly the same
anywhere. What is reckoned low in
one place is not considered low in
another place.
It likewise varies according to
times. A thing was low twenty
years ago which is not low in the
present day. We have distinct re-
membrance of things being consld-
cred low, which are low no longer.
Thus a change is perpetually going
on in notions of what is low.
He who scruples to transact any
honest piece of business from an idea
that it is low, may rest assured OF
this, that he will soon see some one,
less foolish, step in and take the busi-
ness from him /; and what is more,
he will see that every person thrives
and will be respected for doing that
which he at one time rejected and
was ashamed of. The truth is, no
occupation is low if it be consistent
with what is just and honest. We
are all, every one of us, living by
ministering, some way or other, to
each others necessities and comforts.
The whole world is but great
shop, in which all are sellers and
buyers in turn, and in which each is
expected to do something useful for
the general well-being of the con-
Germ. Let us, for the sake of consis.
tency and common sense, get rid OF
this preposterous notion of lowness,
which, as we say, is ever shifting its
ground. 1t is the bane of rational
enterprise, and keeps hundreds from
doing that which would be really
honorable and lucrative. Honor and
shame, as Pope has observed, arise
from no particular condition in life;
true merit consists in the correct per-
formance Of our part, whatever that
may chance to be.

ssg We can use every part of our
nature-conscience, intellect, heart
and will--so as to reafirm the old ver-
dict that all is vanity and vexation
of spirit; or we can give ourselves
up to the divine possibilities within,
and, living in them, find our rela.
tionship to the Infinite Life that has
no limits.

DRESS AND MANNERs.-The En-
aniner we'll puts it: "Refnement OF
manners, neatness in dress, careful
observance of all the social amenities
are important elements in pastoral
success. Neglect of them often turns
the scale against really capable and
worthy man. Dress does not make
the man, said a distinguished preach
er, but when he is made he looks a
great deal better if we'll dressed"
The remark has a wider application
than to mere apparel. A strong man
is stronger for being thorough gen.
tleman. A good man is better, and
his goodness is more highly appre-
ciated, if he is attentive to those
minor virtues which refine and beau
tify the life. Coarseness, shabbiness,
vulgarity, in greater or less degree:
may co-eXist with great moral and
intellectual power but by so much
as they exist, they narrow the range
ofinfluence by repelling those whom
a more gracious manner might win.
And they are an element OF weakness
even when apparently overlooked.
Every one likes his pastor to appear
tothe best advantage, and is panied at
the evidences of Indifference to per-
sonal appearance or the rules of good
breeding. It behooyes the pastor,
therefore, to cultivate the lesser as
we'll as the greater graces of life, and
without giving undue heed to the
outward man, to endeavor to offend
no one by negligence in dress, or
conduct unbecOming a gentleman"
