CHAPTER III.
SUSPICIOUS.

Mrs. Trevylian never dreamed that
there might be danger for Madge or o.
i've in their constant companionship with
Harold Darlington. In her eyes he was
a grave, middle aged man, with a re-
serve and staidness Of character that was
a safeguard in itself Besides, had he
not said often that he was confirmed
old bachelor, and jested lightly about
love and marriage as things beyond his
ken? She saw in his kindness to both
girls merely the proof of a good heart
and generous nature; he knew that it
was out of her power to give them many
pleasures, and therefore he did his best
to make up to them for the extra trouble
his visit must needs give.
One day Harold planned a picnic ex-
petition to the bay He wished to see
the spot from whence the sketch had
been taken that had tempted him to
come to Trevarrock.
He had hired a small pony cart be-
longing to a farmer in the neighborhood,
and had even persuaded Mrs. Trevylian
to accompany her daughter and niece.
"We can ride and drive" he had said,
laughing. cat least | will walk, and
you ladies can take care of the provision
hamper"
VERY well; but we will take care also
to keep in sight of you"
Madge laughed from sheer. joyousness
as she took the reins
ooh, you won't have much difficulty
in persuading the pony to do that. 1
will follow on. / Just want to run into
Judith Females and see il there are any
letters for me-" replied Harold.
The small basket car moved on slowly
up the billy street, with its gray, hoary
cottages, their roofs overgrown with pink
house leek and yellow stone crop,
Madge, in her pretty holland gown and
sailors hat with red ribbons, acting Jehu.
Mrs. Trevyian had unbent a little under
the influence of so perfect a day, and
leant back enjoying the unwonted lux
ury of drive. Her faded face wore a
smile, and the lines of care were fainter
on her brow.
Olive, / think you might have smart
ened yourself UP bit. It is poor COM
pliment to Mr.. Darlington to have come
out in that old blue serge Not but what
Madge is smart enough for the pair of
you, and don't know but that you were
wisest after an, she afterwards added
"The dress you have on is quite good
enough for climbing about the rocks"
Olive turned her head away, with a
shrug of the shoulder and a sullen look
on her handsome face.
Anything is good enough for me, l
know that well" she muttered. mo
body cares how look or how dress"
She felt savage delight in noticing
the faded streaks where the keen sea air
had taken the color out of her gown, and
IN knowing that her hat was old and
shabby.
"A pauper, living on charity-that is
what am. And Aunt Trevyian does not
scruple to make me feel it. 1t is well to
be Madge; all the pretty garments and
other good things of life fall to her
share" she reflected modify, not naus-

1t is amusing to read the essays on d.
vorce with which the reviews are latter
ly SO plentifully sprinked. Nearly all
the writers begin by protesting vehe-
mently that they don't believe in divorce.
Oh, no! Marriage is sacred and the
foundation of society. But-then they
go on to remark that there are cases
when nothing else than divorce will fill
the bill. They enumerate these cases.
They are practically SO many that if the
people who-protest they do not believe
In divorce had their way the divorce
laws would be nearly as liberal as they
are now. It shows the writers often to
be more lenient towards divorce than
they are willing to admit. After all, the
discussion has not been so much of dis
cussion, for many of the writers, through
fear of public opinion, have not spoken
their minds freely.

For many years persons dwelling in
the vicinity OF oil retiileries have held
their noses and mathematical the furi-
Gus smells that lowered Whereabouts.
The odor was chiefly caused by O Vii
famous substance called sludge acid.
Part of the process of refining petroleum
for illuminating consists in treating the
distilled oil with sulphuric acid The
sulphuric acid separated the impurities
from the oil, and loaded them upon itself.
The result, srlphuric acid and petroleum
refuse mixed together, was the loud smell
ing sludge acid. 1t ruined everything it
touched. At Jersey City, when the
refuse was permitted to overflow into
the bay, it stuck to the bottom of boats
and impaired them, and colored the
water sickening, nasty black. Then it
turned to black waxy substance and
sank in the mud. The worst that could
be said against sludge acid was not half
bad enough. 1t was such nuisance that
Sle oil company loaded it upon tank
boat and shipped 1t far out into the
ocean and poured it gently out to smut
the face Of old Neptune himself.
One day an employe of the oil works
poured some sludge acid intofresn water.
Fresh sludge acid runs out frothy. The
man was surprised to see the acid sepa-
rate itself into two parts. The sulphuric
acid mingled with the water and made
it weak acid, that could be readily used
in the refinery. The other part was oil,
naturally not very clean or pure, but
good enough to'make an admirable fuel.
Now the refinerfes have discovered that
the offensive sludge acid is very valu-
able product. They cannot supply the
demand for the low grade oil for fuel.

AWAY" she added. sadly

much we shall miss you when you go
away" she added, sadly.
Strange words for girl, and terribly
unconventional, no doubt. But Madge
was innocent as child, and accustomed
to speak all that was in her mind with
out fear or reserve. This was her chief
charm in Harold's eyes.
''Shall you? Well, Madge, do not think
hardly of me if | am selfish enough to be
glad that you will miss me-just little. I"
For the first time her name, without
its formal prefix, slipped from his lips,
and his voice trembled little. But he
soon recollected himself, and he was not
vain enough to place undue value on
Madges words.
81 am not gone yet, Madge," he said,
cheeri1y. LET US enjoy the present
without dismal forecasts. See! here looks
likely place for our object. Let us
beard the hneal descendants of wreckers
and snugglers in their lair"
They had come to matched cottage,
weather beaten and discolored by the
salt spray of many storms, yellow with
the hchens of ages; built, it seemed, in
the very face Of the cliff. A rough kind
Of shed stood by its side.
Madge recoiled, laying her hand on her
companions arm.
"Not there-anywhere but there!' she
cried, her face paling, to his great sur
prise.
"Why on earth not? My dear Miss
Madge, you don't suppose there are really
any desperate characters now among
these simple fisherfolk? The profits are
too small and the dangers too great,
nowadays, l assure you"
''Do not knock" she persisted, looking
quite scared. MAD Dinah Retallack
lives here. She is dreadful old woman;
every one fears her. She has the evil
eye, and is witch. Oh, Mr.. Darlington,
please come away"
Harold drew back q few steps; then,
oblivious of everything, even the terror
in Madge's voice, he burst into peal Of
laughter.
Many will be inclined to laugh with
him; but we would bid such remember
that superstition dies hard in out of the
way hooks, even in these days of rail
ways and the penny post. The Cornish
are especially tinged with it, as any one
who has lived among the mining and
coast folk knows. Madge Trevylian wa
Cornish to the core, and had passed all
her life among the simple people of Ire
Yarrock.
"a real, live witch in this Nineteenth
century! The very thing l have been
longing to see all my days; and turn
back, now have at last got the chancey
Neveri Come along, Miss Madge; she
shall tell our fortunes, if true witch she
be and no nmpostor"
He raised his stick and knocked at tbs
door.
