ded that he would write at greater length,
sending plans for the work on the Peak

in detail of his plans, but leaves it to be
inferred that only the east wing will be
put up, this season. with perhaps a little
work on the main building.

own good. Who can calculate on the
strange variations of feminine naturei"
So argued Isle, with the degree of logic
usual in men whose vanity has been wound
ed. He was quite willing that Mona
should be taken out of his way, but he
should have liked to see her weeping
broken-hearted at the loss Of his fascinat-
ing self. Yet, although horribly irritated,
he probably never longed more passionate
ly TO be in Warnings place-always provid-
ed the engagement, marriage, what you
will, was not to be permanent.
The period of engagement was by no
means rs blissful as Waring anticipated.
Mona, though pleasant and complaisant,
was cold-colder than she knew-and
Waring was sometimes tempted to ask
her if the sacrifice to which she had con-
scented was too cruel. Then some strain of
compassion would steal over her heart,
and thrill her voice or soften her eyes, and
the poor boy-for he was but boy, in
spite of his years-wOuld be lifted to the
seventh heaven of joyous anticipation. He
had the most unbounded faith in Mona,
and he had her assurance that she did not
love anyone. His devotion, then, must
win her. How formidable the rivalry of
that first unfulfilled dream of love was he
could not know. Would he learn it here.

mo, MISS she looked so still and quiet,
l thought it best not to disturb her"
Perhaps you are right l will come
J directly"
Mrs. Newburgh's eyes were open when
her granddaughter approached; she smiled
| kindly and family. When Mona asked her
if she would like 10 get up, she smiled a
| peculiar dreamy kind of smile, and MUIR
INJURED in a muffled voice
Eyes, dear, of course l should"
Mona therefore put her arm under her
shoulders to help her in rising, which was
always a little difficult.
'Thank you, my love-" she said, in the
same indistinct way, smiling as she spoke,
and sitting on the side of the bed, her feet
did not at first touch the floor.
Assisted by Mona, she put them down,
resolutely, but fell back Immediately, sill
ent and motiOnless.
1t took all Mona's strength to keep her
inert form from slipping off the bed, while
she stretched her hand to the bell-rope
which hung beside it. The new lady's-
maid came running at the summons.
"Help me to lay her down" whispered
Mona
The maid assisted to place her in bed.
She was rigid, and very heavy.
Fan her, Ellen" said Mona, as she
turned away to get some restorative.
Lord bless u.s. ma'amw exclaimed the
woman, in an awe-struCk tone; 81 do be-
Ieve she is gonew
"Impossibey' cried Mona, rushing to her
side. "Why she has only just been speak
ing to me. She often faints; send for the
dOctorp'
"Ahl no doctor will do her any good,
poor lady; her heart is quite STILL" laying
her hand on it, land her eyes-just look at
them, miss-Open and CLASSY"
81 cannot believe it! Try and give her
this" hastily measuring out the prescribed
quantity of medicine.
Ellen shook her head-and obeyed. 1t
was in vain Wehner was dispatched for
the doctor, but before he came-Mona's
hopes were over. Her grandmother. her
one real friend, was deadl She could not
doubt what that gray pallOr, the deadly
stiffness, the stiffened form meant-still
she could not realize that she should never
hear her speak, never turn to her for
guidance, never attend to her little wants
again.
The doctor came quickly, and at once de-
clared that life was quite eXtinct-that he
had always anticipated a sudden death for
his patient. Her heart was weak, and so
much emotion as had tried her of late had
rendered all exertion, all agitation, dan
gerous; and probably the effort to rise and
stand up, was the final feather which broke
the strained cord of life.
1t seemed to poor dazed Mona that Sir
Robert and Lady Mary Everard appeared
as If by magic. What solace it was to
throw herself into kind Lady Mary's arms
and tell her brokenly how deeply she
mourned the thoughtful-if tyrannical
protectress, to whom misfortune had linked
her so closely.
"well, dear, you may rest assured that
the near prospect of your marriage soothed
and frightened her last hours; and it is a
great comfort to know she was in 4 happy |

The local election returns are mea-

closed. The saloons could be en-
tered, though, simply by opening the
doors. There wss scarcely q saloon
in the city that did not sell their
, goods the same as on other days.
There was no interest at all mani
tested among the citizens. Only the
election officers were It the polls or
took any interest in the matter, and
of course they were financially inter-
ested, or most of them, to the extent
of their salaries.
A very light vote was polled, the
Alamo polling but about II this
morning. Precinct 8, corner Buena-
Vista and East streets, IA heavy Mex
lean poll usually only polled rs votes
and generally for all the amendments.
At precinct No. 5, county courthouse,
A votes were polled. In nearly all
the city precincts the amendments
were all voted for, except the local
option plank, which was slaughtered
