When at length the news of Thornes

and gave straightforward, hot tempered
Berkeley hint which eifectually silenced
him. In sooth, the honest fellow had
small liking for the subject. He bitter
ly resented what he considered Thorne's
culpable concealment of the fact of his
marriage He remembered the night of
the ball at Shirley, and the memory
ranked. 1t did not occur to him that
the matter having remained secret
might have been the natural result of an
unfortunate combination Of circum-
stances, and in no sort the consequence
of calculation or dishonor on Thorne's
part. Neither did it occur to him. large
minded man though he was, to try to
put himself in Thornes place and so
gain larger insight into the affair, and
the possibility of arriving at fairer
Judgment.
Berkeley's interest in the matter was
too personal to admit of dispassionate
analysis, or any impulse toward mercy.
or even justice. His anger burned hotly
against Thorne, and when the thought
of him rose in his mind it was accom-
panied by other thoughts which it is best
not to put into words.
During Mrs. Mason's illness little
Blanche was unremitting in her atten-
tons, coming over daily with delieacies
of her own concoction, and striving to
help her friends with sweet, unobtru-
sive kindness which won hearty response
from both ladies', and caused them to
view Berkeleys increasing attentions to
the little maid with pleasure. They
even aided the small idyl by every law
full means, having the girl with them as
often as they could and praising her
judiciously.
With her winsome, childish ways and
impulsiveness, Blanche formed a marked
contrast to grave, reserved Berkeley
Mason, and was perhaps better suited TO
him on tina: account. When their en-
gagement was announced there was no
lack of congiatulation and satisfaction
in both families. The general, as he
gave his hearty appreciation to her
choice, pinched her ears and asked what
had become of her objections to Vir-
ginia. aud Percival tormented her un-
ceasingly, INVITING her with her former
walls OF lamentation. Blanche did not
care. She took their teasing in good part
and retorted with merry words and
smiles and bushes. She had made her
journey to the unknown and returned
with treasure.
Mrs. Smith, in her chamber, smiled
softly, and thought on muslin and lace
and wedding favors.

CHAPTER XVI

Spring opened very late that year IN
Virginia slowly and regretfully, as
though forced into doing the world II
favor against its will, and determined
to be as grudging and disagreeable over
il as possible. The weather was cold,
wet and unwholesome - sulking and
storming alternately, and there was
much sickness in the Lanarth and Shir-
ley neighborhood. The Christmas had
been a green one-onIy one small spurt
of snow ON Christmas eve, which van
i,hed with the morning The negroes
were full Of gloomy representations in
consequence, and shook their heads and
cast abroad with JUNCTION all sorts of
grewsome prophecies anent the fetten
ing Of the churchyard.
All through the winter Mrs. Mason
had been aiiing, and about the beginning
of March she succumbed to climatic in
fuences, backed by hereditary tendency.
and took to her bed with severe attack
OF inhammatory rheumatism. Pocahon-
tas had her hands full with household
care and nursing, and perhaps 1t was as
we'll. for il drove self into the back
ground of her mind, for part of the
time at least, and filled with anxiety the
empty days. Grace. living five miles
away and loaded down with family
cares and duties of her own, could be of
little practical assistance.
The winter had been a hard one for
Pocahontas; harder, perhaps, for the
gallant nature which forbade her to be-
wall herself. She suffered deeply and
dumbly through all the weary nights
and days. Pride and womanly reserve
precluded all beating of the breast and
forced principle and nature to the cease
less fight. Right CALAMITY she bore her
self. The modification, the anguish, the
love, must be met, hand to hand, eye to
eye, foot to foot.
She endeavored to keep cheerful-to
take the same interest in life as for
merly, and in the main she succeeded;
but there would come times when the
struggle would seem greater than she
could bear, and being a woman, with
woman's heart and a womans nerves,
she would beirritable and difficult But
these moods were never of long dura-
ton, any more than the more desperate
ones, when she would lock herself in her
chamber and cast herself on the floor
and lie there prone and quivering-heart
and conscience utterly at variance
heart crying out with mad insistence
that the struggle was in vain, for love
was strengthened by repression, and con-
science sternly replying that 1t should
not be; the struggle should continue IN
I'll the last vestige of love should be ex-
plunged from heart and life. 1t was no
wonder. as time went on, that the girls
cheek paled and that dumb pleading
came into the pure gray eyes.
Sometimes the thought OF jim would
come and place itself in contrast to the
thought of the other man. for, uncon-
sciously to her, her old friend was her
standard in many things. Her recognl.

Tended his taste. Over and over he
cursed it all for damnable business
from beginning to end. He was per-
fectly aware, reasoning from cause to
eject, that the situation was, in some
.ort. his own fault; but that was poor
consolation. That side of the question
lid not readily present itself; his horizon
was occupied by the nearer and more
personal view. He loathed it all, and
was genuinely sorry for himself and
conscious that fate was dealing hardly
NY him.
As he turned corner he ran against
tall, handsome young lady who put out
her hand and caught his arm to steady
herself, laughing gayly. Take care.
Nesbitr' she exclaimed, ''you nearly
knocked me down. Since when have
YOU taken to emulating Mrs. Wilfer's
father, and telling your relatives to the
earth"
why, Norma! is it really your" he
questioned, refusing to admit the evil
dence of sight and touch unfortiied by
hearing.
He was genuinely delighted to see her,
and foresaw that she would be comfort
to him during the days that must elapse
before it became possible for him to start
for Illinois. He needed sympathy and
some one to make much of him. And
Norma, with her lustrous eyes aglow
with the pleasure of the meeting, ap-
peared to divine it, for she set herself to
entertain him with little incidents and
adventures Of her journey from Virginia,
and with scraps of intelligence of the
people at home She did not mention
Pocahontas, save in reply to direct in
Quiry, and then simply stated that she
had spent night at Lanarth a day or so
before coming north, and that the family
were all well.
She cheered Thorne wonderfully, for
she seemed to bring Virginia and the
life of the last few months nearer TO him
the peaceful life in which new hopes
had budded, in which he had met and
known and loved Pocahontas. Norma
did him good. raised his spirits and
made the future look bright and cheer
full, but not in the way she hoped and
intended. She had come north with the |
hope of furthering her own plans, of
making herself necessary and agreeable,
of keeping the old days fresh in his mem
DRY. And she was necessary to him, as |
a trusted comrade who had never failed |
him. clever adviser in whose judgment |
he had confidence, charming friend |
who was fond of him and who had but |
now come from the enchanted land |
where his love dwelt. OF her plans he |
knew nothing, suspected nothing, and |
the days she brought fresh to his
thoughts We're days in which she had no
part.
In little while he went west. and |
there was u period of uneventful wait
ing after which Norma received west
ern paper containing short and mob
trusive notice of the granting of divorce |
to Nesbit Thorne from Ethel, his wife.
She bore it away to her room and |
gloated over it greedily. Then she took
her pen and ran it around the notice,
marking it heavily. This done, she
folded, sealed and directed it in clear,
bold hand-General Percival Smith,
Wintergreen county, Virginia. 1t would
save elaborate explanations.

Rain which on touching the ground
crackles and emits electric sparks is
very uncommon but not unknown
phenomenon. An instance Of the kind
was recently reported from Cordova, in
Spain, by an electrical engineer who
witnessed the occurrence. The weather
had been warm and undisturbed by WIND
and soon after dark the sky became
overcast by clouds. At about s
o'clock there came a fash of lightning,
followed by great d:ops of electrical
rain, each one Of which on touching the
ground, walls or trees gave a faint crack
and emitted a spark of light. The phe-
nomenon continued for several seconds,
and apparently ceased as soon as the at
mosphere was satuated with moisture.-

JaDans Historic Tree.

Garden and Forest has a description
of the great pine of Japan, called Dali
Matsu, which stands on the shore OF
Lake Biroa, some three miles from Otsu.
The tree is attended by priests, who de-
clare that II is mentioned in the records
of their cloister 800 years ago, and that
it was planted in the year A. D. 675.
1t is counted among the eight wonders
of Japan, and its singular aspect as 1t
stretches its long branches out on every
side over a scaffolding formed by more
than 300 poles, has been pictured in
many books of travel. Although it is
fully exposed to the wind, and although
ats trunks and branches bear more than
one lightning scar, it is still vigorous,
and only a gradual thinning out of its
foliage bears witness 10 its great antiq
uity. AT two feet above the ground
the diameter of the trunk is fifteen feet
nine inches; its height is eighty-four
feet, and the diameter Of its widely
stretched crown is PAP feet, Four
houses formerly stood among its
branches, but two of them were ruined
in great storm a few years ago. The
other two are still largely resorted to. by
supper parties on summer evenings, and
