CHASTITY Work of Art.

table which. for originality in the mat
ter of construction and ghastliness in
conception. is probably without a
rival. 1t was made by Giuseppe Sa-
gatti, who passed several years Of his
life in its manufacture. To the casual
observer it gives the impression of a
curious mosaic of marbles Of different
shades and colurS for il looks like
polished stone. In reality it is COM
posed OF human muscles and viscerA
No less than hundred bodies were
requisitioned for tho material. The
table is round and about yard in di-
ametcr with pedestal and four claw
feet, the whole being formed of petri-
fed human remains. The ornaments
of the pedestal arc made from the in
testlnes. the claws, with hearts, livers
and lungs, tho natural color of which
is preserved. The tabletop Is con-
structcd of muscles artistically ar
ranged, and it is bordered with up

are folding their black wings this instant to
settle about her soul. She only thought it
was her pleasure trip was deferred; it was his
plan to save her from impending ruin failed.
One of the ministers of evil was at the gate
this moment; now at the door; in the hall.
Then the servant announced a name, and
Mrs. Ellingsworth stepped into the room.
She had been smiling her best, but every
smile vanished at the sight of the shawls and
travelling bags. She looked sharply at Ber-
tha, who was dressed in her blue travelling
suit; her hat was on the sofa beside her. She
glanced about the room. The chintz covers
were placed over the damasll upholstery; the
piano was closed and packed. Bertha looked
listiessly at her.
''Oh, won't you sit down?" But this strange
visitor stood as if rooted to her place.
"You are going awayf PElip turned
surprised glance at her, the tone she assumed
was crisp and imperious He saw the dam
gerous look come into the dark, brilliant
eyes, which forgot their assembling for the
moment. The woman knew everything. In
some way She had learned the secret. Would
she dare denounce his wife before him! Was
he so poor a man woman like this dared to
beard him! He did not speak. Her message
of scorn and intamy would come in mo-
ment, she would tear down the veil he had
spread before his wife's crime: he saw her
red lips fairly trembling with the bitter
words. Then Phlllp looked at her no more,
but his eyes rested pityingly on Bertha. How
would see meet it? Would she flush into
rare passion? Would she turn pale and faint
in overpowering shames
Eyes, we were going to Europe" answered
Bertha, utterly unconscious of the hate that
glowered at her out of the flashing eyes.
"Philip did not want me to speak of it or
should have told you before; but l suppose it
don't make any difference now, since we've
lost the steamer 1t left the pier an hour
ago. So we are not going now till Saturday
Isn't that it, Philip dears Why, you don't
mind my telling Janc!' 1t was Bertha's own
words then, that had decided her fate. There
had been some hope before, Philip remem
bered: but at last her deadliest enemy knew
everything. The NINE would be sprung he-
fore to-morrow's sun had set. He could see it
in the sudden triumphant CLEAN i'll the
womans eyes before she thought to smile
But Bertha was the only one who could talk,
just yet,
