would hnve been more predispOaed to lend an ear to his suggestions.
 ''I have brought you my Canadian friends reply to my letter concerning Miss GrahaIne," he said. handing the schoolmistress a note written in a lady's hand on heavy paper with de- ightfully ugly crest in the shape of a mythical animals head embossed upon 1t. You see, did not mortgage my assurances of her satisfaction with any arrangement I might make deeper than could redeem them"
 ''It is charming letter. Miss Balder- stone said, giving 1t to him after she had perused it, "but candidly confess that do not like the idea of her going so far away"
 The lawyers jaw dropped
 "Now, really, Miss Balderstone," he interposed, ''I hope you are not going to break the engagement, for my friend Mrs. Llewellyn has been so pa tient in writing"
 ''That you think it would be wrong to disappoint her. We'll, think so, too; therefore you can write and tell your friend that Miss Grahame shall sail from Liverpool in two weeks time."
  ian sails on that day, and the captain is friend of mine and would look after her." MT. Colburn suggested, with nerv- ous eagerness.
 ''Well, so be it; the time is short for preparations, but she shall be ready"
 "A thousand thanks, Miss Balder- stone. You have taken a weight off my mind" the attorney simpered, as he rose to go. Then, as if moved by an after thought, he added: II suppose you have had no recurrence of your little delusion concerning Sir Harry Grahame's death? Pardon my asking, but ladies, when they have made up their minds to a thing, are so difficult to convince that thought
 That was as obstinate as the rest of my sex," Miss Balderstone replied, with a pleasant laugh. "Well, you are wrong for once; am quite convinced, but
 ''But?'
 "Oh, was only going to say that Kate is still slzeptical-in fact, she has had a little romance, which it would be a breach of confidence to tell you about. Merely small love affair, with the heroic youth bursting to display his affection by trip to India to set her doubts at rest"
 MT. Colbura's face was naturally scarlet, the glowing red that healthy exercise or fine old crusted port pro- duces, but the familiar hues faded away to sickly yellow ochre tint which did duty for paleness in less dorid com plexion.

CHAPTER XI,
AN UNPLEAsANr DISCOVERY.


 The midsummer vacation ended at last and the young ladies were gathered together once more under Miss Balder- stone's wing to pursue their studies and dream dreams of speedy emancipation when the regime of the school room should be exchanged for the delights of the drawing room. There are more pupils come back than the house can conveniently hold, yet Miss Balder- stones heart is sad, for she is in sore vexation of spirit. As if that comics sion of her favorite Kate Grahame, that she has allowed a wandering Yan- kee, probably some penniless adven- turer, to steal her heart was not enough worry for one morning. Mile. Cam pignon, the best, sedatest, most-reli- able French governess who ever en- tered her establishment, must decline to resume her duties and had absolutely left the house with the avowed inten- tion of abandoning the profession.
 She had told Kate Grahame that she was little goose to put any faith in her American admirer and blamed her for making such a promiscuous ac- quaintance. "As for his story about going to India, my dear, that is all DalderdaSh. lie Will turn up some oay and say he has been there, trusting to your being overwhelmed with grati- tude," she had said to the weeping girl "Just as if any sane person would go off to the end of the earth on such a wild-goose chase, when he could have taken sixpenny bus to MT. COlburn's office and satisfied himself that Sir Harry Grahame was as dead as Julius Cesar. Besides, where was this Yankee hero of hers to get funds for such an expensive journey-did she think that he was prince in disguise?'
 To all of which very sensible homily the poor girl had only been able to whimper loyal faith in her young man, who was eood and honorable be- cause-well, because he was good and honorable, and the two ladies had parted with sentiments of mutual dis 1 trust.
 It was then at the very moment that Miss Balderstone's usually placid dispo- sition was rufled by these twin vexa- tions that Mir. Colburn, the attorney, presented himself, and if that astute gen. tleman had picked his opportunities be ] annld not have found titna Whan aha

Mrs. Blaine, jr., Talks a Little in
 Chicago.
 CHICAGO, March Airs. Marie Nevins Blaine, or Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr., as she is best known, arrived in Chicago yesterday. She was accompanied by her young son, his nurse, and Mrs Blaine's maid.
 Mrs. Blaine expressed herself as we'll pleased with the treatment accorded her by the press of the country thus far. She had nothing to say regarding the open letter she sent to the Hon. James G. Blaine, ST., in which she gave him ten days to tell the whole truth about the treatment accorded her by his fam fly, and to retract the statement that it was she instead of the boy that did the courting.
 She was quite spirited in her declara- tion that Mir. Blaine would not be al lowed to asperse her character without being answered.
 If Mir Blaine does not ratract she will publish some of young Blaine's letters, and sensational facts may be expected.
 Mrs. Blaine denied very strongly the report that she had abandoned her resi- dence in South Dakota. She statssao-oS her physicians had impeSSSt' the Dakota her to leave for AOO" climate

HARRISBURG, Pa, March 4.-Attorney- General Hensel heard arguments yes terday on the complaints made by A J. Cassatt and T. V. Powderly against the lease by the Philadelphia g. Reading Railroad Company of the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central Railroads. The complainants were not represented, and all the arguments made were to show that the deal was not unconstitutional and consequently did not warrant the intervention of the courts through the Commonwealth. The Attorney General will render his decision in a few days as to weether the complaints justify the State in appealing to the courts for re- dress

 OLNEY, Ill, March 4.--Rev. Father ; E. Sehnelton, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, had Q desperate en- counter with a couple of burglars at an early morning hour.
 After the two criminals had effected an entrance into the house, one remain ed down stairs on guard, while the other proceeded to the room occupied by the reverend gentlemen. In one hand he held lighted lamp and in the other a revolver
 The glare of the lamp awakened Father Schnelton, and as the robber drew near the priest sprang suddenly to his feet, at the same time turning the bedclothes over the burglar, extinguish- ing the lighL
 The rohber discharged his revolver, but Che bullet failed to penetrate the heavy bedclothing. A terrible struggle in the darkness ensued in which Father SchneitOn finally succeeded in throwing his assailant down stairs. The man was unhurt by his fall, and with his com panion jumped through an open window and escaped.
 Father Schnelton's bravery in grap- bling with the burglar is greatly praised.

LADY SCARBOROUGH AND THE LAWYER 1t not been for me, remember you would now be, as you were for years, the servant, not the head of the firm you represent"
 Quite true, my lady, but I think l have given Q quid pro quo for your pat ronage, and delightful as it would be to my vanity to suppose that you were simply instigated in your kind services to reward merit, cannot but think that you have called upon me to re- deem my obligations. It was perhaps for your own interests as well as mine that you used your influence to pro- mote my fortunes. Your strictures are little ungrateful, when you consider what am now asking in your behalf. :"

CHAPTER x. MY LADY MoURNs.

Scarborough house was a tall, gaunt stone mansion, with a certain massive stateliness which impressed outsiders with its soleum grandeur. It needed not the stone grifins conchant on it's broad steps to tell you that some great family resided there, even if you were not subdued by the dignifed bearing of the hall-porter, or the splendid livery and gigantic proportions of the foot men, who lounged in it's broad doorA way with a perpetual sheer on their red faces for all who were not of blue blooded descent.
 For the most part the interior was, if anything, more depressing yet aristo- cratic than it's outside, for the rooms were so spacious that they resembled more halls of assembly than the snug apartments of an English home.
 But there was one room, which was an exception-a pretty, dainty apart ment, furnished with exquisite taste in the most charming modern style. This was my lady's boudoir, devoted espe- cially to the mistress of the establish ment, and never entered under any pre- text by any member of the family without especial invitation.
 Here one morning sat it's fair owner, a handsome, high-bred woman of forty, still in morning costume, though the afternoon was waning. There was Q flush of expectancy on her delicate face and a nervousness in her manner which said, as plain as words, that her ladyship was ill-at-ease, a mood which her maid, who was in attendance, evi- dently looked upon with no very agree ble sentiments, for Lady Scarborough had a way of venting her discontent or her dependents.
 Are you, sure, Annette, that you told the groom of the chambers to an- nounce Mir. Colburn as soon as he called?"
 Quite sure, my lady"
 'And it is nearly four, and he is not aere."
 Just struck four, my lady, by the clock of the Horse-guards, think, per haps-"
 "Do not trouble to think. It is bad habit for servant to have opinions, and disgusting to hear her express them"
 'I am sure, my lady, T."
 "WELL you hold your tongue, An nette? Your chattering makes my head ache"
 The girls lips parted, but no sound came from them. She stood with clasped hands, mute and motionless, as much a slave as a Saxon hand-maiden, who wore a brazen collar round her neck with her owners name on it in the days of the Heptarchy.
 "Now you are looking sulky, girl, and will"
 But what she would do to the unfor- tunate maid, the world never knew, for at that moment the groom of the cham bers announced the attorneys arrival.
 The frown cleared from the lady's brow as the dapper little lawyer bowed himself into the room, but there was a tone of reproaoh in her voice as she bade him be seated.
 "You are late, sir," she said, in quiet reproof.
 "For which accept my apology" he replied, airily, not at all in the regret full respect that family lawyer usual ly displays to distinguished client.
 The lady noticed this, and her hot blood dyed her check.
 "It seems to me-" she said, "that your manner has changed of late. You forget, sir, what you owe to me. Had

A Gigantic Engineering Plan to COnneC
 England and France.

England and France.
 Great interest is being manifested throughout England in the two gigan- tic schemes originated by Sir Ed ward William Watkin, the celebrated engineer. One of these, the construc- tion of tower surpassing in magnitude the celebrated Eiffel tower of Paris, has already assumed form and the money for its completion has already been subscribed. It is to stand in Wembley park, between Willesden and Harrow, will be built entirely of steel and thus be both stronger and lighter than the Eiffel tower, and will cost about S1, ,761, ,OOO. It will be 1,200 feet high. From it's summit the shores of France may be seen. His tunnel project is not wholly new, as engineers for many years past have discussed such a project, but it has invariably been abandoned as impracticable. Sir Ed ward, however, is confident that the project is feasible and can be accom- plished, and if he can overcome the hos tility of the military authorities the work will be undertaken at an early day. The claim of the military engi- neers that the tunnel would make the invasion of England an easier matter can be disposed of by notifications of the plans which will not in any way impair the utility of the tunnel for commercial uses. The tower alluded to will form part of the general plan of the tunnel 1t is generally believed that both schemes will be undertaken in the neaE @nturN.

How a Working Girl Can Use Part of Her
 Ticket to Destruction.
 When a working girl allows the faithful performance of her work to fall behind her devotion to dress she has used the first coupon on her ticket to destruction. The hand of Providence may interpose before the brakeman calls the last station, but nothing short of such intervention can save. If you must come to this big city to earn your living seek first the companionship of Christian people. By Christian people I do not mean church members neces- sarily, but all such as have lofty stand ards and strive to live up to them. Earnest, clean-hearted, pure-lived peo- pie are the best Christian people and make the best comrades Never be ashamed to stand for your principles. If you have been brought up to say your prayers before retiring do not be turned from the practice by the laugh ter of fools Be as brave as the little hero in "Tom Browns Schooldays," i" who dared to stand by his colors in the face of a swarm of tormenting boys Be courteous always; a gentlewoman can always be detected under shabby clothes, and lady through the stress of ever so gruesome poverty by the well-bred affability of their manners The shop girl who cultivates a languid and indifferent style of de- pertinent would never be lady of the right stamp although you hung every hair of her head with diamonds and dressed her in Worth costumes Am.
