passionate avowar of love into her ear.
To him her silence means a yielding
to his entreaties. You have made me
supremely happy" he murmurs softly,
and steps aside to meet several persons
who are at this moment approaching
from the drawing-room. Among them
is Count Tolstegg, Dorothea's husband.
Early in the morning of the follow
ing day, Count Tolstegg informs his
wife that he is called to the citv on i'm
portant business and must leave by the
last train that evening.
And the tableau in which you are
expected to take part?''
'As the train does not leave until
nine, will have ample time to figure
in that, since l was foolish enough to
consent to such childish play. Our
hostess insists that no one but myself
can represent the character for which
she has chosen me, and it would be un-
kind to spoil her pleasure"

But Count Tolstegg shrugs his shoul-
ders with smile, and makes no reply.
The guests are assembled in the pret-
ty little amateur theater, and the play
ers have gathered behind the scenes on
the stage. In the first row sits Doro-
thea, and beside her Benatschew. He
has been her escort during dinner, and
has filed unnoticed her glass with
champagne as often as possible. Dora's
cheeks are flushed, and feverish light
burns in her black eyes. Her excite
ment, however, is not caused by the
wine, but by the inward struggle of
the past few days.

one word of comfort and kindness
when she entreated him to take her
back with him. She would have gath>
cred strength from it to resist the pas
sionate yearning that drives her into
the tempter's arms. There Is but one
way out of the difficulty. She must
confess to her husband the danger with
which she is beset. Several times dur
ing that day she has been on the eve
of doing this, but when she lifted her
eyes to her husbands cold, indifferent
countenance, she relapsed into silence.

Continents and OCEANS,

Of all the sciences that of geology ia
perhaps the least advanced. This is due,
not to a lack of students or earnest and
persistent investigation, but to the re-
stricted field for observation. Much of
the study of geology, therefore, is nec-
essarily of theoretical character. Ere
quently about the time these theories
become accepted as facts they are over
turned, or apparently SO, by some new
discovery. Until few years ago, for
instance, it was generally accepted by
geologists that the continents and
oceans Of the earth occasionally
changed places; that islands of the
ocean were SUBMITS of submerged
mountains or ranges of mountains.
But recently, in view of certain dis
coveries, many students in geology
have been compelled to change their be-
lief, and hold that the great continental
masses and deep ocean floors are perma.
nent features of the earths crust Phil

Ocean Greyhounds Left BEHIND.

We land creatures are very proud OF
ourselves We think we are so superior
in every way to the creatures that
dwell in the seas, and when we dis
cover that we can make a steamship
which, under favorable conditions, can
travel from New York to Queenstown
in trifle under six days, we call that
vessel an ocean greyhound Why we
should give greyhound the credit for
all the speed in creation-among living
things-is not quite clear to those who
know something about whales. The
whale is not only a creature of great
strength, but he isone of the most rapid
of moving things. He can go faster
than a locomotive when he gets his
muscular steam up, as you will see for
yourself when you realize the fact that
the whale moves through the water
with velocity which, if continued at
the same rate, would enable him to en-
circle the whole earth in less than four.

Burning Tin Like Paper.

The metal tin can be burned as easily
as paper, and to do it makes an inter
esting parlor experiment. A candle,
blowpipe and tinfoil are necessary.
With the blowpipe direct the flame
OF the candle against strip of tinfoil,
and it will readily take fire and burn
with a brilliant light, the melted in
candescent globules falling to the table
and dancing about in very curious
manner 1t will be noticed that the
product of combustion of the tin is a
white powder, the oxide of tin, and it
was observed many years ago that this
calx, as it was called, weighed more
than the original tin. This simple
observation was the beginning of the
long series of investigations which
finely led to the discoveries OF Priestly,
Scheele and Lavoisier, and laid the
foundations of the modern science OF
chemistry. Mill.

The number of the stars, says Sir
John Lubbock, is enormous. When
we look at the sky at night they seem,
indeed, almost innumerable; SO that,
like the sands of the sea, the stars Of
heaven have ever been used as effective
symbols of number. The total number
visible to the naked eye is, however, in
reality only about three thousand,
while that shown by the telescope is
about one hundred million. Pho
Biography, however, has revealed to us
the existence of others which no tele-
scope can show. We cannot by looking
long at the heavens see more than at
first; in fact, the first glance is the
keencst. In photography, on the con-
trary, no1ight which falls on the plate,
however faint, is lost; it is taken in and
stored up. In an hour the effect is
thirty-six hundred times as great as in
a second. BY exposing the photograph
ic plate, therefore, for some hours, or
even on successive nights, the effect of
the light is, as it were, accumulated
and stars are rendered visible the light
of which is too feeble to be shown by
any telescope.-Chicago Post.

BAY ST. LOUIS, MISS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1898.

Yet, what could she do? She lay awake
at night without peace or rest, ob-
stinately bent on the thought of re-
venge. The dog crouched at her feet
lifting its head now and then to utter a
moan. Since her masters death she
often moaned and howled, apparently
inconsolable for the loss.
One night, when Semillante was in
dulging as usual in her plaintive howl,
a wild ferocious thought flashed
through the old woman's brain. She
brooded over it until daylight, then at
early dawn rose to visit the church.
Kneeling on the cold stones before the
altar, the woman implored God to help
her, to sustain her, and to give to her
poor worn-out frame the strength she
needed to avenge her son.
On her return from these strange de-
votions, she went into the yard. There
she kept an old broken barrel, in which
the rain gathered from rain-spout.
She turned it over, emptied it, fastened
it to the ground with stakes and stones,
and chained Semillante to it.
With her eyes fixed upon the Sardin-
ian coast, the woman returned indoors
and paced necessarily up and down the
room.
The dog barked all day and all night
In the morning the old woman gave it
some water in a pan, but not a morsel
OF food. Another day went by. Semil-
lante, weak from hunger, slept. The
second morning her eyes were lustrous,
her hair bristled, and she pulled at her
chain with all her might
But the old woman refrained from
feeding the dog, which, growing furi-
Gus now, barked hoarsely. Another
night passed by.
On the third morning MothersSaveri-
nj repaired to a neighbor and asked for
few bundles of straw. She took
some old clothes, left by her husband,
and stuffed them with the straw in imi-
tation of a human body. Then she
planted stick in the ground before
Semillante's improvised house, and
nailed the manilkin to it in an upright
position. The dog regarded the straw
man with surprise, and though suffer
ing pangs of hunger remained quiet
for awhile. -
These strange preparations all being
completed, the old woman went to a
butchers shop and bought long blood
pudding. This she fried over fire
that she built in the yard near the bar
rel to which the dog was chained. Sem
illante, almost wild, bounded forward
and foamed at the mouth as she beheld
the frying sausage, the fumes of which
filled her nostrils.
When the old mother had finished
her work, she fixed the steaming
