give you no explanation You have
heard the whole conversation, and Won
must draw your own conclusions from
it, as do mine If you believe that that
lady is the wife, or the widow, of the
Mr.. Valentine who has inherited the es-
tate, you are at liberty to act In accord
ance with your conviction. The most
difficult thing will probably be to make
other people believe as you do.
That's all right, Mr., Valentine said
l. but there is one thing you can tell
me- You said just now that you had
heard speak Of that lady before, and the
inference was that what you had heard
was not to her credit Now what did
you mean by that?
WELL Mr., Clifton, said he. perhaps
may have heard of her before, or per-
haps may be mistaken In thinking
had; but don't see why the Inference
to be drawn is necessarily a bad one At all
evnets, she has never done me any harm,
and don't believe she ever will, or can:
and have no present intention of HARM

said before, you must follow your own

lopted by deceived damsel The
man was a tailor ard the woman a
cook, who, when she heard that the gay
deceive lad given her up for a spruce
dressmaker, armed herself with pair
of big scissors and Il bottle of vitriol
and proceeded to the lodging of the
false-hcarted swain. What she would
have done had she met the tailor in the
flesh can only be coniecturcd in vague
and speculative manner, but it hap,

work on his Sunday clothes. These
she pulled out of the wardrobe wherein
they lay, strewcd them on table and
cut them into ribbons with her scissors.
She next sprinklcd vitliol over the lot
and treated the tailor's socks, shirts,

touches of the same corrosive sub,

Natural obstacles are sometimes tho
cause of what looks like an architectural
freak This is, for instance, the little
church of Ghnwdlloe, away off in the
west of Cornwall. 1t was built by pious
Spaniard who was there saved from be-
ing drowned. He insisted on building q
votive church on the exact spot where the
waves cast him up, and SO it was done,
but when the church was completed it
filed the little angle in tho rocks and
there no place left for the tower. Sc
they built the tower on the other side Of
