eret
If she was working, or was about to
work, egainst Guy LEstrange, what was
her motive for such aotioug
That waa the question which Mr. Arm
strong put 10 himself, and there could DO

Jealo,tsyl
lie determined, at any rate, to sound
Guy on the subject.
Guy was taking the whole matter very
well, considering Ru things.
But he could not help being alive to
the fact that his was position Of great
danger.
The evidence at present was dead
against him ia every way.
The very fact Of the uasEks upon bis
arm having been spoken Of by the
woman without her having had a chance
Of seeing them, was strong proof of the
truth Of her story-proof which he
seemed unable to get over, even in his
own mind.
OF course the whole affair was q
puzzle.
At least, it was thus he spoke and ar
gued With his lawyer; and though Paul
Armstrong, listening and looking into
the open, honest face, could not avoid
believing him innocent, still he was
compelled to acknowledge that part of
the whole position.
On leaving Raymond Lodge he pro-
ceeded at once to the prison, where he
found Guy, pale and distressed, but out
wardly calm.
"Well, how are they allp' he asked.
pretty much as might be expected, +"
said MI. Armstrong. 'Of course, Miss
Fielding feels your position acutely;
but it is Glare Raymond whom / can
not understand. Her manner is SO
strange; she seems to be keeping some
thing back. Have you-excuse my ask
ing the question-have you ever given
her reason to suppose that-er--that she
might have occupied the position now
held by Miss Fielding2"
Guy glanced up at him in great sur
prise.
For moment the question seemed to
be utterly absurd.

Adolphus rroIIope,s oook.

MIR. Trollope was fortunate in securing
attached servants. Once, when he paid
a long visit to Venice, his devoted Tus-
can attendants took positive pride in
fighting it out with the foreign" trades
people over lire and contesini. But oe-
casionally he stumbled on sad excep-
ton TO the rule, and we have one strik-
ing example Of how superstition may ex-
ist side by side with irreligion and ras-
cality. A cook had been robbing him
right and left. The one mans word was
set against that Of the other, and it came
to a case of hard swearing in court. be-
tween the master and the servant. A
crucifix was handed to the cook, and he
was invited to take oath to his allega-
tions. He twice essayed to utter the
falsehood he intended to swear to, but
twice he was unable to utter a word,
turned as white as a sheet, and fell
to the floor in faipting tit,--London

TABLE PHILOSOPHY.

Existence is simple, but life is a science.
An unruly stomach is not to be tanned
with lectures.
Hospitality, like charity, hideth a null
titude of sins
Grief and worrimentar alrant thieves
of the appetite.
Don't growl at this world until you are
sure of a better one
Between physic and the frying pan the
grave never lacks a tenant
Live well today and spare your sorrow
to him that waits until tomorrow.
If life's staid draughts be sometimes
bitter, 'twere wise to sweeten them with
a few of its frivolities.

In the Italian military boot factories
a recently invented leather boot, named
the Antosandalo, is being made at pres
ent in considerable quantities with a
view to its being thoroughly tested in
the army. The heels and soles of this
new boot are not stitched on, but riyeted
to the uppers in such a way that, if the
heels are worn down on one side, they
can be easily taken Oft, turned round,
and secured again in their new position.
Worn soles can be removed in the same
manner and new ones quickly fixed on.
The inventor claims that this boot will
save every year at least 80 per cent. In

swedlsh Christmas onstoms.

The Christmas tree is a city custom.
1 do not give it credit for any antiquity
1t is probably not more than hundred
years old or so, unless in the Hartz
mountains, whence it comes, think.
The northern peasants have, though, the
custom of placing on pole or stake on
the roofs Of their granaries at Christmas
time a shock of grain, usually barley
This is left for the sparrows till the
weather and the birds have destroyed it
entirely. They also leave portions of
porridge around the house for the mice.
The mice, you know, was the household
fairy of olden time. As to the special
Christmas dishes, know of none among
the Swedes besides curious boar shaped
cakes, excepting that they always eat
rice boiled in milk and drink mjod, a
liquid made from honey, which l GER
tainly wouldn't care to drink at any
other time. The eating of rice must be
comparatively modern, of course, but it
is custom now.-New York Letter.
