be readily imagined by the reader who
has remarked the inconsistency of wom-
an when dominated by pique.
Small wonder that Captain Foraker
promised to go to the ball. that he lis
tened cheerfully to Cynthia's plan to
visit Miss Bertha Maverick, the fascinat-
ing daughter Of the village blacksmith,
and agreed to call for her at that lady's
home on the evening in question, and
that he rode back to his quarters with q
self satisfied smile upon his supercilious
features, curling his gray mustache and
otherwise pluming himself upon the tri-
umphs of the afternoon. That after his
departure Cynthia dismissed him utterly
from his mind, and that she hated Miss
Stafford cordially and was conscious in
her heart of hearts that Henry Bruce
was more fascinating than ever-are
facts that will readily occur to her APP
preciative and discriminating sex, to
whose. tender sympathies her present

down from the railing of the veranda,
like pair of rusty coated crows which
had been spending the interval in quiet
and gloomy communion upon some con.

CHAPTER TX.

For weeks it had been apparent at San
Marcus that a social event Of unusual
importance was impending. For weeks
futter of expectancy had disquieted
the feminine heart, displaying itself in
animated gossip upon the street corners,
in an alarming tendency to indulge in
afternoon calls and reckless patronage
of seamstress and milliner. There was
much promenading in the single bust
ness street of the little village, INDUCED
in so aimlessly as to give the observer
the general impression of rehearsal.
But it was apparent that feminine Curl
osity eliminated at the river, whittier,
over the level plain, the thoroughfare of
San Marcus led, and to which locality
the footsteps of the fair daughters were
most persistently directed.
Foremost among these lovely pedes-
TRANS was Miss Bertha Maverick, with
an eye like the flash of bayonet and a
profile decidedly aquiline. She could be
seen on any pleasant afternoon, defying
the admiration of the baffled sun with
parasol of pale pink and leading on, as
it We're, by this orifamme of sentiment.
the thronging cohorts of Texan coquetry.
Three days of aimless pilgrimaging on
the part Of the San Marcus maidens, and
I'll at once was seen the method of this
pernal madness.
Occasional horsemen began to be met
with on the dusty highway. By degrees
the number of these was augmented to
mounted squads and groups, until at
last their proportions reached those of
a generous cavalcade OF course this
irruption Of eligible manhood was the
occasion of much indiscriminate firta-
ton, and there were many glances given
and exchanged that BODIED i'll for the fu-
ture peace of mind of the parties con-
cerned. Mischievous eyes challenged
observation beneath dainty bonnets, and
the tilted sunshade was eloquent of the
warfare of Cupid.

But Cynthia went her way and fol
lowed the dictates of her singular humor
Aulus and the fawn usually accompa
MED her in these lonely wanderings
Sometimes her listless footsteps sought
the piny shelter of her bower, where
swinging in her little hammock, she
passed long hours stepped in the aromat
ic odors of the woods, watching the soft
play of sunlight in the boughs above
her fancy captive and her thoughts
adream. What secret she whispered in
the ear Of the sagacious hound that lay
at her feet, with his devoted eyes fixed
ever upon her face, what thoughts of
hers may have been detected by the
antelope that drowsed away the long
hours thus consecrated to her woodland
reveries, have never been divulged by
these most worthy conidants. And if
the grave pines that bent so reverently
about their little devotee OWNED aught
of her disquietude they only grew the
graver for the knowledge and dropped a
cone now and then in their still depths
a woodland tear of sympathy. And at
such moments the river far below lifted
soft consolatory murmur that stole
upon her silent musing.
For fear our little Cynthia was but
learning the story which, if we are to
believe the poets, the vast panorama of
nature has been telling "since first the
fight of years began" A sudden lone
illness had come upon her in the midst of
her pastimes and occupations. A strange
voice whispered in her heart. The
things which satisfied once had lost their
charm somehow; the tones of her banjo
were harsh and discordant; the fawn had
less of grace; even her beloved Aulus
was often stupid and unsatisfying.
AT times the preoccupled Miss Dallas
turned her footsteps in quite another di-
rection She developed fascination for
a certain ledge of rocks upon the crest
of a western divide. It was a bare, I'M
interesting spot, without shade or shell
ter, and, but for the prospect it afforded
of the valley on either side, poor place
certainly to pass ones time. Yet Gym
thia was much given to haunting this
locality. A superficial observer might
have surmised that she sought this lofty
post of observation the more closely to
note the varied maneuvers of the round
up in the plain below, but unfortunate
ly for this theory the back of the fair
observer was invariably turned upon
this animated spectacle.
Who shall say what disappointments
were hers, thus occupied in spying out
the land? Who shall say how many
times this self appointed Sister Anne be-
held the cloud of dust upon the distant no.

must not omit to m 9ntion certain
formality in dress which Miss Dallas be
gan to affect about this time. 1t was il
the direction of long trains and trailing
habits. There was much mysterious re
hearsal in the seclusion of her little
room, a disposition to gather her skirt,
in one gloved hand and tiptoe about
avoiding intermediate objects with ar
acquired daintiness and grace. There
! were certain fastidious airs of manner
which were deity caught and quite as
faithfully rehearsed in private. During
these ceremonies a small riding whip
formerly presented to Cynthia by Mr.
Buck Jerrold, was generally carried
lightly in the right hand. A swift cantel
over the adjacent hills, attended by the
same scrutiny of the remote horizon, in
variably followed this painstaking per-
formance.
Such mysterious behavior was not
without provoking the comment Of other
members Of the household.

To all this ingenious badinage Miss
Dallas preserved sn attitude of disdain-
full reticence, but she was manifestly
unhappy and i'll Mt ease. That joyous,
light hearted gayety which once pos
sessed her had taken wings. She sang
no more, where once her glad voice chal-
lenged the hooking bird. She was as
capricious as an April day. Peevish and
fretful with her father for the most part,
there were intervals of sudden tender
ness when she overwhelmed him with
kisses and caresses. Possibly at such
moments certain absent individual was
ever present to her fancy whose name she
never suffered to pass her lips. Philoso-
piers aver that in matters of the heart
there is species of cold comfort in thus
lavishing the affections by proxy.
During this unsatisfactory period Gym
thia7s treatment of Mr.. Buck Jerrold
was most remarkable. This gentleman
had been wont TO visit her often. to pass
hours in her society, to sit quietly by her
side silent and thoughtful, smoking his
pipe and noting her every word or ac-
ton with areverence and admiration that
was little short of worship. Formerly
Miss Dallas had permitted fhis oppressive
homage as if hers by species of divine
right, had laughed and chatted with him
pleasantly, accepted his little gifts and
keepsakes gratefully, sent him upon her
errands with the air of comforting fa-
vor and exerted her many Vaccinations

Two main lines of research will be followed in the laboratory. So- called cures for snake bites will be tested under strictly scientific condi- tions, and the properties of the snake poison as such will be investigated. The laboratory will be the only insti- tuition of it's kind in the world, and the committee of the Calcutta geological gardens which has taken the matter in hand expects that it will be largely resorted to by the scientific inquirers who visit India during the cold weath- CT.

Early Ideas About Hair.

All the ancient philosophers held cu- rious ideas respecting the growth, functions, structure, etc, of the hair, and had many superstitions founded on these old opinions. The early writers on the makeup of the human body almost invariably refer to the hair as being an excrement fed on sub stances similar to itself. They SUD- posed that it generated in the fuligi- nous parts of the blood; was exhaled by the heat of the body, becoming firm and fibrous upon being exposed to the air, just as the fluid of the spider web does. In these days every idea respect ing the growth and character of hair is changed. It is now agreed that every hair properly and truly lives and receives its nutriment from the body. True, they take upon themselves the nature of parasitic plants: they grow as vegetation droes, yet each has, as it were, a distinct life and economy. That they derive their existence from the juices of the body there is no doubt, but that food is not taken from the nutritious juices, for we know that hair will thrive even though the body starve or be wasted by disease, or even after the animal life has ceased to ex- ist in the flesh or skin to which they arc attached.

MARRIAGE IN THE. ORIENT.

Wives in Turkey, in Persia and In Thibet-
 Plurality of Spouses.
 In Persia it is an almost invariable custom to choose a wife from among ones relations, such as cousins in a near or remote degree, and only among acquaintances when failure has oc- cured in following the old habit. The Hebrews especially sanctioned a plu- rality of wives according to the law of Moses, and that shows how thought full they were of the future of their race-so much so that sterility in a wife was considered sufficient reason for contracting another marriage.
 The lot of Turk who has to bear the whims and caprices of his numer- ous wives is anything but an enviab ble one, says the Pall Mall Budget. The harem is not, as many persons suppose it is, building wherein all Turks wives live together. Each legitimate wife of pasha has separate dwell ing, her own cook, her own coachmen in a word, her own separate house hold. True it is that all the dwellings are inclosed within one surrounding wall, and frequently they are beneath one roof, as is the case in our modern flats, but nevertheless the isolation is complete among the wives.
 The etiquette among Turkish ladies is somewhat complicated and the sys- tenn is hierarchical, the favorite exer- cising an undisputed authority ove the others. In the sultan's harem the supreme authority is vested in his mother, who takes the title of sultana valide, and she alone is entitled to go to and fro in the harem unveiled. It is only when she goes out that she wears the yashmak. At the present time the veil used by Turkish ladies is no longer what it was. Its trans parency admits of a pretty face being easily outlined. When the yashmak is very thick one may conclude that the face it hides is not very seductive. In spite of the progress of civilization and the consequent transformation of habits and customs in many countries the position of woman in Turkey has only slightly changed; it is only in ex- ceptiOnal cases that those belonging to the higher classes are unaccom- panied out of doors by eunuchs. These are the cadines, who have adopted and follow the Paris and Lon don fashions, and it has even been whispered that there are mysterious assignations in the shops of the grand bazar at Constantinople, where some ladies spend good deal of their time on the plea that they have numerous purchases to make
 In Thibet they reverse the order of things, for in that country it is not un- usual to see woman married to plu- rality of husbands, sometimes two or more chosen from among her cousins.

 She spurned him scornfully.
