you mast not go to Mr. Davies, father.n
And Beatrice-bad she Jared better durino o.
these long months2 Alasl not at all. She
had gone away from the Bryngelly Station
on that autumn morning of farewell sic!. at
heart, and sick at heart she had remained.
Through all the long winter months sorrow
and bitterness had been her portion, and now
In the happiness of spring sorrow and bitter
ness were with her still. She loved him, she
ionSed for his presence, and it was denied to
her. She could not console herself as some
women can, nor did her deep passion wear
away; on the contrary, it seemed to grow
and gather with every passing week. Neither
did she wish to lose it; she loved too
well for that. It was better to be thus tor
mented by conscience and by hopelessness
than to lose her cause OF pain.
One consolation Beatrice had and one ONLY.
she knew that Godfrey did not forget her.
His letters told her this These letters. in
deed, were everything to her-a woman can
get so much more comfort out of q letter than
man. Next to receiving them she loved to
answer them. She was good and even a.
brilliant letter writer, but often and often
she would tear up what she had written and
begin again. There was not much news in
Brynselly. 1t was difficult to make her let
tiers amusing. Also the farcical nature of the
whole proceeding seemed to paralyze her. 1t
was ridiculous, having so much TO saw. to be
ablo to say nothing. Not that Beatrice wish
ed to indite love letters-suc.l an idea never
crossed her Inind-but rather to write as
they had talked. Yet when she tried to do
SO the results were not satisfactory to her:
the words looked strange on paper-she could
hot send them
In GeoGreys meteor like advance to fame
and fortune she took the keenest JOY and in
terest-far more than he did, indeed Though,
like that of most other intelligent creatures,
her soul turned with loathing from the dreary
fustian OF politics, she would reiigiously search
the parliamentary columns from beginning
to end on the chance of finding his name or
the notice of a speech by him. The law re-
ports also furnished her with happy hunt
ing ground in which she often found her
game.
But they were miserable months. To rise
in the morning, to 80 through the round of
daily duty-thinlsing of Godfrey; to come
home wearied, and finally to seek refuge in
sleep and dreams of him-this was the sum of
them. There were other troubles. To begin
with. things lad gone from bad to worse at
the vicarage- The tithes scarcely came in at
all, and every day their poverty pincned them
closer. Had it not been for Beatrices salary

it will go very badly with anybody who LAYS
q finger on her.
''Oh, very well, ruin the child. Go your
own way, Godfrey. AT any rate, am not
going to stop here to listen to any more
abuse. Good night" and she went.
Godfrey sat down and lit a cigarette "a
pleasant home coming" he thought to him

she can spend-if kill myself to get it, she

wonder if Beatrice would treat her husband
like thisif she had one"
He laughed aloud at the absurditv of the
idea, and then, with a gesture of impatience,
threw his cigarette into the fire and went to
his room to try and get some sleep, for he
was thoroughly wearied.

CHAPTER XVIII.

As might be expected, the memorable case
of Parsons and Douse proved the turning
point in Geoffrey's career, which was thence
forward one of brilliant and startling sue
cess. On the very next morning when he
reached his chambers it was to find three
heavy briefs awaiting him, and they proved
to be but the heralds of an uninterrupted
How of lucrative business.
VI course, he was not queens counsel,
but now that his great natural powers of
advocacy had become generally known, solic-
itors frequently employed him alone, or gave
him another Junior, 50 that he might bring
those powers to bear upon juries Now it
was, too, that Godfrey reaped the fruits of
the arduous legal studies which lie had fol-
lowed without cessation from tho time when
he found himself thrown upon his own re-
sources, and which had made q sound LAWYER
of him as well as q brilliant and effective
advocate. Soon, even with his great capac-
ity for work, he had as much business as he
could attend to. When fortune gives good
gifts she generally does so with a lavish
hand
Thus it came to pass that, about three
weeks after the trial of Parsons and Douse,
Geolfrey's uncle, the solicitor, died, and to
his surprise left him twenty thousand pounds,
believing" he said in his will, which was
dated three days before tho testator's death,
that this sum will assist him to rise to the
head of his profession"
Now that it had dawned upon her that her
husband really was success, Honoria's man
ner towards him modified very considerably.
She even became amiable, and once or twice
almost affectionate When Godfrey told her
OF the twenty thousand pounds she was ra-
diant
Why, we shall be able to go bacl. to Boil

have it, our old house is to let. 1 saw bill

Electric Phenomena of the Heart.
A special meeting of the Berlin ply
Biological society was called by Pro-
fessor Dubois Raymond on Deem Der
81, in order to see demonstration, by
DR.. Augustus Waller, on man and
other animals of the electromotlve ac-
ton accompanying the best of the
heart. Besides the ordinary members
of the society, the leading physicists
of Berlin were in vi ted, and Professors
Helmholtz and Kundt witnessed the
experiments. DIR. Waller employed
the capillary electrometer, the indica-
tions being magnitied 1850 times and
thrown on a ground glass screen in
one Of the lecture rooms OF the physi-
illogical institute, and demonstrated
the electromotive action of the heart
in a horse and in dog. The horse
stood in a courtyard near the lect-
ure room; electrodes were attached
to his eXtremeties by firm bands,
aud the wires from the electrodes
were passed through the window to
the electrOmeter in the preparation
room adjoining the lecture room. The
dog stood in the lecture room. In the
library of the institute, Prof. Dubois
Raymond allowed the demonstration
to be made on himself, so that the
pulsations might be seen directly
through the microscope by all the
members present. DR.. Walters work
in this direction is we'll known. and
formed the subject of his introductO-
nv address delivered at st. Marv's
Hospital at the opening of the session
l8S8-S9. A MOntyon prize was after
ward awarded to him in Paris for his
investigations

OHIO Mckinley is for all open, fair,
stand up fight. He opposes the anti
gerrymandering bill in congress, an /
for this reason, as ne says:
"The only redless accorded to a
party suffering under partisan ger
rymander is to appeal to the people,
and if they rebuke the party in pow
or at the polls by electing the legisla-
ture from the opposition, the 1egisla-
ture certainly ought to have the pow
or to correct the mODstrOsity."
Mckinley sees how the repub-
lican legislature of Ohio two years
hence will correct this evil.

How many unfortunate mortals
there are who don't know how to take
their departmental get out. They
can get out of money, out OF health,
and some of them out Of their heads,
but it is almost an impossihility for
them to get out of a neigh boris house
after once getting in. 1t is "A distress
ing episode when a visitor has TO be
assisted in making up his mind to 90
away. 1t is like helping p lame dog
over a stile, and the style is rarely be-
coming to either party.
1t is hard to say which appears the
greater fool under such circumstances
the guest or his host. 1t is awk-
ward for a man, after having enticed
another into his house, to be unable
to coax him TO 60 out of it again. And
yet how often has this to be done, be-
cause the party of the second part
doesn't know how to leave, and leave
any kind of an impression behind.
If the art of departure is difficult,
that of election is harder to learn. 1t
is not a dignified proceeding to re-
verse the engine of hospitality. But
what can be done with the man who
doesn't know how to leave your roof L?
Invite him TO take it with him?
There are people who are quite cal
lOus to all hints that they have stayed

for you offer them no more, but they
arise to go to the mantle-piece and
calmly help themselves to fresh ones.
If you are living in the country you
may even wind the clock and kick the
dog out of doors, and still the man
who doesn't know how to leave will
remain to torture you.
