 had no objection to offer, so he set his valise over the fence and went with me. He was in good spirits and talked lightly and cheerfully, and before we reached the village my embarrassment had so far subsidcd that l conversed quite freely, too. We talked of many things going and coming, chiefly of transient nature, but when we were nearing home again he suddenly said:
 Miss Owens, l fear you suffered a great deal from Bernard's prosecutions. went there after you left, at my mothers request, to see if could learn anything relative to your whereabouts, and learned something of the way he had treated you; and though, of course, do not know all, l know enough to stamp Bernard as a u 4ck-hearted viii lain"
 He had heard the slanderous tales against my character, and l wondered ! if he believed them. I hardly dared hope that he did not, because others | did, and he had as good reasons as they | did not remain in doubt long, how ever, for directly he went on, saying: Bernard is a vile wretch, unworthy | the name of man, Miss Owens, or he never would have condescended so low as to attempt to rob a helpless woman of her name and character. He is little better than a brute who will malicious ly islander a lady, and especially lady who IS unprotected"
 looked up to him, radiant light or my features and my heart throbbinl with gladness.
 "Ah, MT. Cornell,'' cried, trembling ly, ''you did not believe those reports then?'
 Relieve them?" he repeated, in some surprise. "Why, certainly not. 1 never entertained such an idea for an instant I knew they were false from the first Did you think so i'll of me as to suppose I would so wrong you?''
 "No," I answered, ashamed in tho face of his generosity that had ever entertained doubt of him. 'I did no think you would wrong me in thought even; but if you had lost confidence 1T me could not blame you. You had sC little cause to believe in my honesty while those who had good cause doubted me-"
 "I had no cause to doubt you, Mis- Owens-not the least in the world. knew you and knew Bernard. knev you to be incapable of wrong and de ceit and knew him to be an unprinci pied hbertine. knew every word h, uttered was false and compelled hiu to aclrnowledge it.".

BARONESS BLANC INDioNANT.
She DivuIges Some Family secrets-The Baron Begins Shit for Divorce.

She DivuIges Some Family secrets-The
 Baron Begins Suit for DivOrce.
 NEW YORK, May 4.-The domestic difficulties between Baron and Baroness Blanc have developed into open warfare. The Baroness has obtained an execution from the Supreme Court to satisfy $46, GOO judgement wkich she obtained some time ago against Baron Blanc's Litofuge Manufacturing Company, 62 John street, this city, which produces a compound for the preservation of boilers.
 The execution was placed into the hands of 8 deputy sheriff with orders so seize on any property he found.
 This action of the Baroness is believed to have been precipitated by the action of the Baron in having inserted in a morning paper that he would not here after be responsible for his wife's debts.
 The Baroness, when seen by reporter at the Albermarle to-day, was Indignant over the advertisement.
 She declared that instead of the Baron advertising her it was she that should have advertised the Baron.
 She said that when she married the Baron, five years ago. he was a civil engineer, employed by the Underground railroad.
 She said that she had paid most of his debts since, and had expended large sum of money in paying the greater part of expenses incurred in foreign travel by both the Baron and herself.
 She concluded by saying that the Baron never paid debt unless he was compelled to by the law.
 In accordance with the order of the Supreme Court the Sheriff has taken pos session of the manufactory of Baron Blanc, on John street, and closed it up.
 MT. Blanc has retorted to his wife's ac- tion in attaching his property by causing to be served on her a summons and com plaint in an action for absolute divorce. In his complaint in the action for di- vorce Mir. Blanc accuses his wife with having on three or four different occa- sions committed adultery with Frederick Yuengling, the brewer. Besides the all legations of undue intimacywith Yueng- ling, Mir. Blanc makes an ominous accu- sation of misconduct with other men to him unknown.

 MELBOURNE, May 4.-The behavior of Deeming since he was sentenced has be- There is a strange mixture of sense and insanity in all he says and does, the latter evidently assumed.
 No doubt he is laboring under intense excitement, finding himself baff1ed at every point. He expected to procure at first a postponement of his trial, and next 8 division of the jury on the plea of mental alteration put forward for him, and in delay he had ever hope of making his escape. Now he is bent on an appeal, but there is no chance for him in this; nc court in Christendom would grant it. His atrocious lying and maligning the memory of his victims has lost for him what little sympathy he might have in spired by his indomitable courage.
 The jailers fear that under the break ing down of all his hopes, Deeming may become actually mad or attempt suicide for although in high spirits, assumed ol otherwise, he sometimes drops into 8 moodiness which looks ugly and danger ous, and when to approach or speak tc him provokes threatening looks and language.
 the jail authorities, it was decided tc put the prisoner in irons, and this reso. lution was carried into effect to-day.
 Much interest is manifested in the au to biography that Deeming is writing and upon which he has spent much oi his time since he was imprisoned. It is believed that the mans overweeninl vanity will compel him to confess in this work all the crime he has ever committed

 CHAPTER xxVIL
THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW.

THE OLD LOVE AND THE NEW.
 Charles Cornell came, and met him, though had hoped to avoid it. l did not wish him to see me, because thought, since everyone else believed Bernard's stories, he would believe them, too, and felt that to be ignored or coolly treated by him would be more than could bear just then. Somehow dreaded his adverse opinion above that of anyone knew, and felt that to be slighted or summed by him would wound me so deeply that should never recover from it.
 was going to the village on an err rand for Mrs. Lawton, glad of an excuse to be away from home when MT. Cor nell came, and had just emerged from the lawn and turned down the street when met him coming up. He recog- nized me at a glance, as did him, and coming to halt he cried:
 Miss Owens, is it possibleP"
 extended my hand but said nothing.
 "Well, wsll," he exclaimed, giving my hand a warm pressure, "who would have dreamed that should have met you here?"
 "I have been here two years," re- HuhrkcuS Ieel1uB IndO l OuSnb GO say something.
 1.-TWO yearsP" he repeated. 'Why have you not informed us, Miss Owens? My mother has been very nearly dis tracted about you. She has imagined all kinds of evils befalling you, and has worried, fearing you were sick or un- happy. If she had known you were here no power on earth could have kept her away. She has felt hurt at your long silence"
 "I wanted to write to her often," I answered, "but thought it best not to do so. had reasons for keeping silent"
 "Yes, to be sure, Miss Owens know you acted for what you consid- cred best, and we have no right to ques- tion your motives. You live with Mrs. Lawton, do you?"
 "Yes, sir.''
 "This is pleasure, truly. I came here to meet MT. Hanley on Q matter of business, having no thought of meeting you. I am more than glad now that business called me here"
 He spoke earnestly but not en- Enthusiastically. There was more than ordinary politeness in his tone, but not more than real friendly regard.
 ''Mr. Hanley is here, presume?" he remarked, after short pause.
 "Yes, sir," answered, slightly color ing at the recollection of the scene just

A Woman Crank After Dr. Kee1ey.

CHICAGO, May Apr. Leslie E. Keeley, the wealthy proprietor of the famous bi-chloride of gold established at Dwight, H., is threatened with death by a dyna- mitard, and several of the best police officers at the Central Station are trying hard to locate and place under arrest the misguided fanatic who makes the threats. His would-be executioner is 8 woman, or at least is supposed to be 8 woman, for her letters are signed with q woman's name. She calls herself Frankie Parsons, for the sake of convenience, says Dr. Keeley is responsible for her husbands death and demands $1, 1000.

give hope and good cheer to his Soul, and-shall I own up to the truth-to bring him back to me again.
 1 am afraid that the secret of my so- licitudc lay in the fear that he would not return. I tried to persuade myself that was solicitous only for his wei fare; but in spite of my efforts the thought that he might never come back would surge up and overtop all other thoughts making me very unhappy.
 A week passed and then there came a letter from Mrs. Cornell. It was full of love and had all the tenderness and sympathy one could possibly expect or ask, yet it was far from satisfactory. It did not contain that which sought and for which my soul yearned. There was in all it's pages never q word from or about Charles, and when I read it folded it and laid it away with sigh of disappointment.
 "IIc has given me up, indeed" I unused, sorrowfullv. "He will never seek my love again, but believing me still obdurate will marry the other woman of whom he spoke. Oh, why" I cried, ''did I not make him understand my feelings that day? But word, look UT hh dCO1OL MOuA(l nave L11ctCO LU p1dlu to him that there was room for hope, and for the want of it had no doubt lost him forever
 Will Hanley and Mary remained but a | few days, and though I avoided them both as far as it was possible, was thrown into contact with them to some extent. Mary made no effort to con- ceal her dislike of me, but on every oc- eho She treated me with the utmost attempted to impress me with the knowledge that she believed every word that had ever been spoken against me. On one occasion she remarked:
 Whatever you do, Agnes, don't ever claim relationship with me. We are related, and it can't be helped, but we can let the fact remain secret. I de sire that our relationship should be l kept among ourselves"
 ''I am sure such arrangement meets my approval" replied, ''for have no desire to make our relationship known. I have nothing to gain by it, and per haps you have nothing either" l 1T certainly have nothing to gain by it," she rejoined, resentfully, ''but I sure you have not"
 Mary" said, pacifcally, ''let us be reasonable. I spoke hastily and re gret it. We are sisters, and there ought to be sisterly tie between us. It is folly for us to deny our relationship, ol to assert that we will never have aught to do with one another except as strangers. Neither of us knows what the future has in store nor to what con ditions we may be brought before life ends. The time may come when we will each need the love and sympathy of the other. am willing to forgive and forget the past, and from this time on dwell with you in sisterly love-"
 "You, no doubt, feel inclined that way" Mary replied, land I do not won der that you do. If was in your situa ton I should evidently feel so, too. The time may come when you will need my love and sympathy-it is very apt tc come, think; but it is not at all prob able that shall ever feel the need ot any of your love and sympathy, not the least probable, I'm sure"
 -s'I hope you never may, Mary," an swered. "But we can't tell what may happen. Stranger things have come tc pass before now"

carpet was wholly in harmony with the interior. The soft gray walls were GOV cred with costly water colors and etch- ings framed in white and gold.
 But everywhere throughout the room, depending from the gas fixtures in loops of silken ribbons, resting upon the dressing table, marshaled in rows upon the mantel, preempting every inch of ,unoccupied surface upon the top of the bookcase, loosely tossed in punches into the card basket, hanging in festoons between the pictures on the walls, grouped about the daintiest silver toilet articles, were corks from champagne bottles. Each bit of cork wood was en- circled with colored ribbon, tied in a neat bow. These ribbons were of vari- ous widths, and it was easy to see that from favors which had been received at balls, parties and receptions.
 Upon the smooth surface of each cork was an inscription in ink, written in a delicate feminine hand, indicating the been acquired.
 All these features of the room were taken in at a glance, as was removing
 
 course, for me to violate the sanctity of the department by examining anything it contained, but had seen enough to know that it was crowded with happy memories of the near past. I knew perfectly well that was standing in the ''den" of girl, who, young in years, was ripe in experience and basking in the social sunshine of the gayest decade in the nineteenth century. It was the home of a girl of the | fin de siecle!
 When descended to the draw ing rooms my heart was full of curiosity. paid my respects to the lady of the house, and sought among host of pretty women for the face of the daugh- ter of the family.
 It was easy to know her by 8 joyous peal of laughter that greeted my ears before I had detected her face. She welcomed me as heartily as her mother had done, and caused my ears to jingle with the harmonies of her voice. After brief interval, which she de- voted to other friends, I was able to catch her attention just at the moment that one of the walters in the nearby dining-room opened bottle of cham pagne.
 The report was quite audible where we stood.
 What's that" exclaimed my fail companion.
 It was my opportunity.
 ''Somebody else is making a collection of champagne corks."
 Her eyes caught mine instantly. They were full oS merriment as she re- torted:
 ''I understand; don't say any more. '
 "Why?"
 Because the man who enjoys sufa- cient confidence to be shown to lady's room should never tell what he has seen"
 The archness of her manner and the cuteness of her smile, after this clever thrust, cannot be set down in words.
 'I say nothing" was my reioinder "but tell me what the last man said.'
 ''Oh! his words were like those of all the other men, He said he was very fond of me. It was a one-bottle decla. ] ration, and it went--at that estimate ,

 fashionable circle are familiar with ta habits of the people of Sybaris, and ! they realize what wretched limitations they are giving of their luxurious and debauched predecessors.
 Now for the story and the moral that points the tale. If it shows anything, it discloses the fact that, though not already thoroughly bad, we arc ambi- tious, aye, mad to be so! It indicates how narrow is the gulf between the cork room of notorious concert saloon and the boudoir of refined and gentle girl moving in the best society. Oh! can it be true that after all these cen turies of cultivation and elimination by natural selection there still remains in the gentlest human heart a barbaric strain of blood-ever liable to reappear, ever dangerous, ever fateful? The sculptor, w. w. Story, doubtless had this thought in his mind when he wrote that beautiful poem "Cleopatra, $ that we all knew and recited when we were boys and girls. Don't you remcm Der this?

She is a young f lady of the highest accomplishments, who since the completion of her educa- tiou has floated on the top wave of SO cial popularity and admiration. This 'tden'' was beautiful place, finished and furnished in white and gold.
