1t is a very pale and fragile Nadine who
is looking at Duran in the morning
room.
"Now you are SAFE" says he, smiling.
He presses her gently into a huge arm
chair, and stirS into a glow the dying
embers of the fire. a chill has fallen
upon the night. As the warmth comes to
her, as she realizes that here, perhaps,
Grant, will not seek her, as she sees the
beloved face of Duran leaning over her,
she lets Il sense of JOY and comfort steal
through her being, and as a child, tired
and weary, who sees its mother, might
do, she stretches out her arms to Duran.
In q moment she is lying on his breast.
"Oh, to be here!' she cries family.
''To be herein yOur arms-Safe You
will never let me go, will you? You will
not let him take me from yOu?"
Never, while life is in me! But l do
not wish to see you so unnervcd, my
dearest. Come, take heart! Consider! In
these prosaic days a CIR cannot be torn
from her home by any chance conner.
Even if 0 were alone, you could resist
him, because your promise to him has now
been Cancelled; but even if it had not
been so, still l am here, your guardian
and-your lover"
my own Maurice!'' She slips her arm
round his neck. She is yet in her ball
gown and it is u soft, bare little arm,
rounded as a baby's, that encircles him.
He turns his head to kiss it tenderly.
stIt is q terrible thought" says Duran,
presently, land l am honestly ashamed
of it; but l cam OF help feeling that this
miserable nights work has been our sal
vation."
Yesterday I was the most miserable
man alive-you were lost to me! To
night, 7 am the nappiest-yOu are gained!
For the future let us Danish from us all
thoughts a V those that remind us that
By a most strange chance we lave been
given to each other just when hope
seemed dead"

CHAPTER XIV.

Joy there, misery here!
Lady Valworth pushes back the por-
there, and with a slow and heavy tread
advances to where the motionless figure
is seated upon a chair, his head buried
on the arms that are lying upon the table.
"Granit!' whispers she TREMENDOUSLY.
He starts to his feet with an oath, and
turns a stormy face to hers.
"What, cannot | be left alone even
now? What brings you here? Is there
no rest-no peace?''
sit is only |, my dear-your mother!''
Her voice breaks. ooh, my childl my
son! my darling! 1t is your mother, dear
your own mother! Did you think any
thing could make any difference to me?''
The poor woman filings herself on the
ground beside him and encircles him with
her arms. II knew you were alone, - she
goes on eagerly. II would lave come
sooner, but II was not very well. The
moment l could, however, / came to you.
l could not bear to picture you sitting
here all by yourself, and perhaps believ-
ing your POOR mother was holding aioof."
''You had done better had you so held
yourself"
ooh. Grant! do not Sd speak to me!
Do not repulse me!' h is still kneeling
beside him., trying do draw his dark,
sullen face to look at her; and now she
takes his hand and holds it in fondling
fashion against her bosom. He is once
more her child, her boy, her little one; in
trouble and disgrace-in direst grief-and
to whom then should he come but to his
mother? MY darling, why did you not
trust ne?'' she says in q low, painful whiS-
per. 81 would have given them to you.
l could have managed in some way.
Yes-I would nave given them"
''They were not yours 20 giYe"-this
alIusion to the stolen diamonds hardenS
his heart again, though not toward her
''they belonged to Sir Thomas. How
ever'-breaking off savagely and drag
ging his hand roughly L of hers-"it is
too late to dis uss what is over and done.
If you AVE come here to maunder about
my crimes, 1 warn you I will have none
of it."
"No, no. dear; not another word shall
be said" Going closer to him she tries
TO press him into achair. sit down now
and let US talk of your plans" she whis-
pers s~oothingly.
"Plans?'' He chances at her vaguely,
as though he hardly understands; plainly
he has not been listening. Then sudden
" his face fiushes; the veins swell upon
his temples. "Wnere is she?' ne cries in
a vehement tone.
"She? Millicen5''
"Pshawi No, She who betrayed me;
that fair devil, Nadine"
"She is down stairs. She has been very
Ill" says the mother trembling.
"Did I hurt her? Did she feel? Did she
suffer:'' Ills tone is cxultant, yet there
is a fierce agony in it. 81 hope so.
Great heavensl how that girl lied to me,
though her lips uttered no falsehood.
SIr, gave herself to me; she swore She
would marry me, caring for that other all
the time. Did you mark O she shrunk
and covered away from ne? How she
paled. and glanced at me as thou n perdi-
ton lay in the sight of me?'
He is CHANGING over his mothers shout
der toward the opposite wall. His eyes
are dark and wild; he is gazing at some.
thing. That past scene in the library is
again before him-is again being enacted

Saved the Emnress, Life.

Many American physicians are among
the ablest, but their profession rests on a
false hypothesis. 1t has nothing to do
with science, and cannot have until it
has vastly advanced. Marked improve
ment has been made in therapeutics. Dur
physicians compare very favorably with
those of Europe. After the Empress
Eugene had given birth to the prince
imperial an important operation vas
necessary, and all the celebrated doctors
of Paris and several American doctors
resident there were called in, among them
DR.. Johnson, now dead. During her
treatment it was found to their conster-
nation that the blood had left her brain.
She was in momentary peril of losing her
life. A solemn consultation took place.
Nobody could advise except Johnson, who
declared he could remedy the evil. He
held her up by the heels and the blood
flowed back to her brain. He saved her
life. Not one of the Partisan sages would
have dreamed of Offering so monstrous an
indignity to the empress of the French,
but the indignity, as they afterward &C
knowledged, was preferable to her death.

It is a very poor, a very pa1try bit OF
malice, yet it nerves him, and brings hin
again face to face with his indomitable
resolve.
Crossing the room, he opens a case
lying upon q bureau and draws from it q
revolver. lie runs his hand lightly over
it, and the cool touch of the steel seems
to steady him. Having assured himself
that it is loaded, he lays it down again
and turns to a writing table.
His hand is firm, the writing bold as
ever. 4 few words, explaining where the
famous sapphires NOW dismantled and
unset may be found in his rooms in town,
are addressed to his mother. Bold words,
with nc endearing commencement, no at
f%ectionate termination. To him the sap
phires are of no further use. 1t is as well
that Millicent should have them again.
He filings the pen aside, and, rising to
his feet, PAGES hurriedly up and down the
room. He can walk now. But like a
flash it bursts upon him that soon move
ment will be impossible. There upon the
carpet he lies like a stick-a stone! The
great grand fever of living is tearing
through his veins. His pulses throb, his
heart beats-there are years of life within
the tall, slender, firmly built frame that
looks its last through the open window.
The early morning air, fresh and fragrant,
rushes gayly in. Heavens! how fair the
world is! Was it ever 50 fair as to-day?
He takes up the revolver again and lifts
it to his mouth. There is q short hesita-
ton. His mind travels backward. His
brain reels. There!-there! she is be-
fore him again! A slight form, clothed
all in palest blue. A face divine! Her
lovely arms! Her eyes-dark-liquid.
See, now, they CLEAN for-Duran! Curse
him! To him she holds out her hands.
To him she gives herself. She turns
A groan of agonized remembrance
bursts from his lips. Then follows a
sharp report! 1t rings through the housed
He sways, and a corpse, disfigured in a
horrible manner, falls heavily to the
ground. All is over.
Through the window the light breeze
enters merrily, and floating downward,
lifts the hair, that is still unwet, from the
dead mans head, and softly, delicately,
plays with it. There is only the breeze.
All other motion is gone. So intenseis
the silence that reigns within the cham
Der, that a tiny bird, emboldened by it,
perches on the sill of the window, and
breaks forth INTO a morning carol, loud
shrill. A carol! A requiem ratheri
And now the silence is broken. Through
the passages beyond comes the sound of
hurrying feet. There is one that runs be-
fore the others. Nearer, nearer they come,
and still the bird carols, the wind plays
the dead man lies there, care1ess-un-
knowing.
A touch upon the handle of the door,.
The wind still revels in lifeless t~resses,
but the bird has flown away. The door
opens
Upon the threshold stands-his mother.

Silver Lining

There's never Il day so sunny
But IL little ciouI appears;
There's never Il life so happy
But has had its time of tears:
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There's never "A heart so hardened
But it has one tender spot:
We have only to prune the border
To find the forget-me-Hot.
There's never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never IA path so rugged
That bears not the prints of feet:
And we have II helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never Il sun that rises
But we know twill st at night;
Tn tints that CLEAN in the morning,
At evening seem just as bright;
And the hour that is the swecte,
Is between the dark and light.
There's never a dream that's happy
But the waking makes US sad;
There's never il dream of sorrow
But the waking makes US glad;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have had.
There's never a way so narrow
But it's entrance is made straight;
There's always a guide to point us
To the straight and narrow gate"
And the angels will be nearer
To Il soul that is desolate.
There's never Il heart so naughty
But must some day bow and kneel;
There's never "A heart so wounded
That the Saviour cannot heal;
There's many IA lowly forehead
That is bearing the golden seal.
There's never a day SO sunny
But Il little cloud appears;
There's never a life so happy
But has had its time of tears
Yet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.

A Snow Parable.

Softly falls the snow aud slowly, slowly,
Ger the solitu len void and hin:
Winds are breathing desolate and lowly
Where the weuried world is lying still.
Like ii coax of pardon and remission
Falls the snow OH city den and street
Emblem Of the contrite hearts condition,
Earnest of f~orgiving love complete.
Where the sin and sadness are unsleeping
Lies purity which is not theirs;
Thro' the night there comes IA sound OF weeping,
Tlro' the night there come a voice of prayers.
All the Iii NAL blackncss OF the city
Lies enshrouded with Il perfect white;
God in wonderful eternal pity
Sends his snowy message through the night.
Turn, o hungry soul that tire of shining,
Take the peace which earth can never give!
Leave the by-gone for Il new begin ng,
Leave The dwearin, s. of death, and live.
Softly falls the snow and slowly, slowly,
O'cr the solitude of street and mart;
Hear, O Father! Thou alone ant holy
Lay its whilenrss ON the sinners heart.
