attention TO the fact that the State OF
Georgia advertises for sale its old State
House in Atlanta. The sale will take
place this month. Mr.. Clews says that
this building was purchased out Of tho
proceeds of the bonds issued by tho
State Of Georgia nearly twenty YEAR,

pockets of his frock.

hostler in speechless rage. Would he

CHAPTER ".
ODD Condolences.

Ipressed my forehead close against
the diamond pane Of the old fashioned
chamber allotted to Tom and myself,
and tried hard to think. But cold as
the glass was my brow grew hotter and
hotter; my brain refused to grasp but
one idea, that had been betrayed, that
I was miserable!
AS l had turned at the landing of the
broad stairway. bed candle in hand, ]
had looked back. The White Mouse had
passed through the dim lit hall with a
quiet good night to Tom he had fingered;
Bette had returned. whispered two
words so gently could not distinguish
their purport; he took her hand, and,
distraction! her head dropped on his
shoulder!
heard his whisper as though Stentor,
the herald, had shouted the words:
"And will you never doubt me, dear
est Bet:"
The eyes she raised to his were full of
tears-no merriment in them now-but
the voice was firm and had loyal ring
that said:
"You may trust me, dear Tom"
She was gone! But not before his lips
were pressed to her brow; not before the
sharp edged certainty had severed from
me my last shred of hope.
When Tom Jones entered our chamber
he was whistling!
Great heavens! was she to link her fate
with such a wretch? hard unsentimental
animal? a thing who could receive a
boon the gods might envy, and then
whistle? Was she to confide her future
to felon, who had forged false key of
friendship, had entered his uncle's sacred
