of splendid toilets and bewildering adorn- ments; the spacious rooms were beautiful ly decorated, and on every hand was lavish display of wealth and luxurlous taste.
 Mrs. Falconer was looking her best, to her own satisfaction as well as her hus- bands, who had looked at her with satis- fled air as she appeared before him.
 She had chosen the lavender gray in a combination of plain and brocaded velvet, and it was very becoming to her clear com plexion, and Mme. Morand had outdone her self in the tasteful manner in which it was made. A handsome set of diamonds gave finishing touch of brilliancy to it's some what quiet effect, and the diamond locket had been reburnished by her jeweler, and hung conspicuously about her neck. She had an object in this beyond display; an ever-present hope that it might yet lead to the discovery of her family.
 She was listening with rapt attention to the performance of skilled pianist, when upon lifting her eyes she observed a gentle mau watching her intently; he was an elder ly man, tall and with a distinguished mili- tary bearing, and noting that hls gaze was observed, he turned away and began speak ing to another gentleman.
 He was evidently person of note among the guests, for wherever he went there was marked attention paid him, as Isabel noticed curiously, after having her attention drawn by the fixed look with which he had re- garded her.
 Supper was over and she, with her friend Mrs. Dwight, had strolled into the conserva- tory to admire Mrs. Belmond's large and rare collection of plants. She stood by a wonderful specimen of the lily tribe, it's heavy pendulous blossoms filling the air with a rarely sweet perfume, when she felt | a lighttouch upon her arm, and Mrs. Colonel De Long's familiar volce said, slowly:
 Mrs Falconer, allow me to present to you Major Darlington, of Rlchmond.'' She started and looked up; the tall gen. l tleman who had watched her by the piano stood by her side, holding out his hand to 1 her, with his eyes fixed, not upon her, but upon the locket which she wore.
 She turned pale, as momentary deathly l faintness seized her at hearing the name so l familiar to her, but she mastered her emo tion and gave him her hand, managing to speak few words of conventional greeting.
 "Pardon me for approaching personal topics, Mrs. Falconer," he said, as he led her to quiet corner of the music room
 where they could converse freely. "Isought | this introduction, because the locket you
 wear has made me very curious to know more of you. It is the exact counterpart o1 one worn by dear friend of mine, and
 am anxious to know how it came in your
 possession"
 "Major Carrington,'' she said, her hear
 beating tumultuously, "I have worn the
 locket in the hope that it might lead to the
 discovery of my family" and she unclaspet the trinket from her neck and laid it 1T

 She kissed his fevered face and bathed it in tears of contrition as she bemoaned the answer she had given him in that last moment of partial sanity, when he had asked her if she loved hlm. And yet, how could she have answered him differently, without being sure of her own feelings.
 Mrs. Montford had brought her skill and experience into the sick-room at once, scorn- ing Dr. Conroy's proposition to install hired nurse there, and had shared the young wife s vigil with un nwearied devotion.
 Oracle wandered through the house dis consolately, and even Lottie's unvarying sweetness and care could not console her for the loss of her parents society. A tele- gram had been sent to Mrs. Stamford at the first and as Isabel was sitting one day in the darkened chambers, her hands clasped over her face in deepest dejection, the door opened and light step entered the room.
 A pair of soft arms stole around her neck,

 Hound whom" said Lottie, whose ideas lid nct tt once climb up to the stupendous reality.
 "Why, met my uncle last evening at Mrs. Bellnond's, dearie. Isn't that grandi" and she went on to give detailed account of her meeting with Major Darlington.
 "It is indeed delightful" replied Iottie, gladly, embracing Isabel in her joyful sym pathy, 'and to find that your father IS alive, too."
 "His condition Is the one drop of sadness in my cup of joy" said Isabel, signing; {; "kut at any rate, 1t will be delight to min ister to his declining years, for of course l shall hope to have him spend portion, at least, of his time with me-"

 "Yes, am very impatient to see my fam lily, and can hardly wait in patience for the time to come when we can go. Do you think you will be able to travel with us next month, for should not like to leave you here alone"
 Lottie blushed guiltily. ''N-no," she stammered; ito tell you the truth, dear, l

SPORTING MATTERS.
The New Ravens de Superior Team
 Work to she HartfOrds ana Win 8

The New Ravens de Superior Teau, | Work 60 she Hartfords ana Win 6 | to 4-Reed's Playing the Feature. The game at the rink last night was highly exciting, and there was more applause than in any game for a long time. The Hartfords were not tired out like their opponents, as they did not play in the afternoon. Fol winning last nights game the New Ravens should be given great praise.
 As is the case when Hartford plays here the game was hustle, hustle, hustle. Sealy was inclined to be rough, and he gave Hill g fall that severely hurt the latter's back in the early part of the game. Sword and Turn bull collided several times and the latter had to give way to his heavy adversary.
 The greatest feature of the game was the work of Reed at goal. Nothing like it has been seen here this season. Stop after stop, of the most difficult kind, were made to the great delight of the spectators.
 Phelan's and Hills work was of @ superior kind. Connors did splendid work He was fresh and ready for exertion as he did not play in the afternoon. Hill made two of his famous long distance shots from center. Cot ter and Sealy played a fine game, but their quick shots at close range were stopped by Reed. Three of their four goals were made Ou EeUOuuuS O1 pooO StOpS, Wucu lk WdS 1u1- possible to recover himself.
 In the first goal Sword played one of the cleverest tricks of the season. On false mo- tion that fooled Turnbull, he turned and caromed the ball to Connors at the side, and the latter easily csged it. Sword had made goal previous to this, but the ball rolled out.
 The second goal was made by Hill, by all odds the best and most accurate long dis. tance driver in the league. He hit the ball from center.
 The third and fourth goals were made by Cotter, in each case after Reed had made 6 stop. The ball was caught on the rebound. This tied the score, to ?.
 New Haven then gave beautiful exhibi- tion of passing, and took the lead. Connors came down the center in the fifth, passed to Hill, who caged from center again. The ball came out, however, but Sword was on hand and canged it. In the sixth Phelan blocked to Cotter, passed to Connors, and af- ter passing back and forth Connors caged. The seventh was made on pass from Con- nors to Sword, who brought into play his "scoop' act. The eighth was made by Cot ter, getting the ball in squabble at the side.
 Hill made smother long shot, making the ninth, on pass by Phelan. Cotter made the tenth on great drive from near Phelan. The score:

A MONUMENT TO GEN. HANCOCK.
DYNAMITE AT WESLEYAN.


 Serious Injury by Idietic Celebration
 -Ex-U0ngressman Hubbard's Son
 Hurt.
 MIDDLzTowN, Feb. 22.-North college and Observatory hall at Wesleyan university were badly shattered by exploding dynamite bombs about midnight. The explosions were heard in every part of the town. N. O. Hubbard '92, son of ex-Congressman Hubbard of West Virginia, after the explosion in North college went from his room to ascertain the cause of the affair. He was no sooner in the hall than he saw small missile lying close beside his door, and picked it up. It was a dynamite cartridge or bomb of some kind, and immediately exploded. The palm of his hand was terribly lacerated, his eyes were cut and portions of the explosive entered his abdomen. He was removed to New Haven hospital. The faculty will hand the perpet- rators over to the State authorities if they can be found. It is thought to be the work of freshmen.
 Hubbard was very comfortable at the hospital last night, and is not seriously in- jured.
