dued sobs broke the waiting sile6ce.

"Yes, | knowe cried BeatrtcsI lifting
her face, flashing with jealousy and
emotion; 'but do you think will tell

Her frantic hands swept the open
portfolio across the desk as she shrank
from him, hiding her humiliation, her
jealousy, her love in hot, burning tears.
About. to speak reassuringly to her,
to plead with her anew for the knowl-
edge he SO craved, Raymond Marshall
started as II dealt sudden blow.
His eyes happened to fall to the open
portfolio. He recoiled, stared closer,
and then sprang to his feet with a
wild, intelligent, hopeful cry.
!. For unon sheet Of paper, written
there indubitably by the woman who
had just SO shame-facedly confessed
her love, was the record Of hatred and
treachery that had SO nearly blighted
his life.
There Were the first experiments of
the clever forger to simulate Edna
Deane's handwriting. There was a
copy of the missive he had received
that morning. There, too, was the
draft of the more masculine epistle
that had accompanied it.:
Beatrice Mercer had looked up at
his strange cry. Her eyes met his,
following their glance to the portfolio,
and then, shrinking back, her guilty
face told the truth.
''You wrote that-you wrote those
letters" fairly shouted Marshall. "Oh,
blind, wicked that l was, to doubt my
true-hearted darling! It was cruel
forgery-a plot. Speak, Beatrice Mer-
GER! All you have told me. all those
letters told, was a falsehood"

The Women who Attract Attention.

The elbows are now worn quite be-
hlnd the waist. So runs the latest
fashion mandate, which isn't as absurd
as it sounds, says the Sun, for so uni
yersally recognized is the fact that a
fine carriage is one of the essentials
Of a prepossessing appearance that the
smart woman carries her head high,
her chest well thrown out and her el
bows necessarily fall well back out Of
the way.

women, who Tealize that the woman
Who makes the best effect is always
the woman who carries herself we'll
On closer acquaintance the pretty face

the two the dress comes in for n share
Of attention as to details with men.

dress, except q few spiteful women

Maidens Sold by Auction.

A singular custom obtains to this day
in some of the towns of the Lower
Rhine. namely, that of selling" maid
ems at public auction. For nearly four
centuries, on Easter Monday-auction
day-the town crier or clerk of st.
Goar has called all the. young people
together, and to the highest bidder sold
the privilege of dancing with the
chosen girl, and her only, during the en-
tire year. The fees are put into the

CHAPTER. II. (Continued)

A clinging kiss emphasized every
word. The fearful Miss Chandler waved
her q last adieu from the door. Her
somber companion helped her into the
carriage, and the wheels grinding down
the soft road seemed to be tearing her
very heart-strings, as Hopedale faded
from view In the distance and the vehi-
bounded forward, carrying innocent
Edna Deane to meet u strange, solemn
mystery.
Twilight closed in about the land
scape, as the carriage dashed across
the country for the nearest railway
station. Twilight, folding it's mystic
shroud about the old seminary struc-
ture, was shut out securely from one
room at least.
With locked doors and shades drawn,
Beatrice Mercer sat at a table IN her
apartment, poring over a letter, study
ing it, analyzing it, re-reading 1t.
It was the crumpled missiye, half
read by the distressed Edna. How had
1t come into her possession? BY de-
sign, the cleaning, calculating eyes
told, for those eyes had the mask down
now, all alone by herself.
One hour went by-two. The supper
bell rang, but Beatrice never left her
task. She was writing now. A singu-
lar feature of chirography, hers, it
seems, for she wrote with coarse pen,
in a bold, masculine hand, and then
with fine one in delicate Italian char
acters,
She manipulated the two letters, so
dissimilar in appearance, folded them,
placed them in an envelope, carefully
added the superscriptiOns, and then,
stamping the envelopes, put on her
cloak and hat and stole from her room.

weighing the Earth.

Weighing. the earth is problem
which has often interested and amused
scientists, and various efforts have been
made TO determine with some degree
Of accuracy the probable approximate
weight Of the globe on which we live.
In 1772 series-of curious experiments
We're made by Prof Maskelyne at
Mount Schihallion, by (which he deter
mined the singular fact that the at
traction exerted by the mountain mass
on the plumb line caused it to deviate
nearly six seconds from the perpen-
dicular. Long and abstruse calcula-
tions followed, on the details of which
it is not necessary to dwell, but the re-
suit was, taking the diameter Of the
earth as 7912.41 miles and the weight
of a cubic foot of water as G2.32
pounds, TIE weight of the earth was
calculated to be 5,S42, ,O00, ,0O0, ,OOO, ,OOO,-

Recovering From an Injury.

One day recently, soon after the hour
of noon, an individual, who seemed to
be laboring under considerable excite
ment, entered a grocer's shop and
asked for a private word with the pro-
.prietor. When the request had been
granted he exclaimed:
II believe myself to be an injured
husband, and / want to verify my sus-
picions by watching house in the next
street. This l can do from the rear of
your shop. Have you any objection to
Isy taking seat at the back there by
the open Window"
The grocer granted the favor, and
the man walked to the back and took
a seat on a box Of soap and began to
watch. His presence had been almost
fogotten, when he returned to the front
Of the shop with hasty steps and said:
"By Jupiter, I'll kill her. Yes, I'll
shoot her through the heart!'
Your wife?'
"Yes, my idolized Mary! I cannot
doubt her guilt, and shall be muir.
deper in ten minutes"
The grocer tried to detain him, but
he broke away and rushed round the
corner. Not hearing anything further
of him for half an hour, the grocer be-
gan to Investigate, and discovered that
fourteen rolls Of butter, q skin OF lard
two hams and other stuff had left the
back end of the shop by way Of the
window at which the watchful husband
had been stationed.

Much Good Being Done by the Fresh Air Fund.
 On the City Mission fresh air fund one excursion has already been sent out by the steamer Margaret Another will go by the same boat this week Thursday, and still
 another on Tuesday, August 1. The ex- cursion next week will be especially for the children of the sewing school, which | meets every Saturday at the City Mission hall and numbers about 200 members. But the fathers and mothers of the chill dren and other members of their families, l together with those connected with other departments of the City Missionary ssso- citation generally, increase the number to 800 or more. The children will receive their boat tickets and cake and cream cards
 this afternoon at the City Mission hail, corner of Court and State streets. Others
 may apply for them at the same place any
 afternoon or evening next week until the day of the excursion.
 Besides the three excursions mentioned it is the purpose of those having the fresh
 air work in charge to distribute wherever
 needed the free boat tickets and car tick cts to the shore, through the different po-
 lics stations as done last year. Also to
 provide them freely for any physician of
 New Haven who requested them for use
 among the sick who would be benefited by
 day on the water or at the seashore, but
 are without means to obtain this help to
 recovery. In special cases a week or more
 in the country will be given them. For several years past the children of the county
 home have also been provided through this
 fund with an all days outing at Savin Rock.
 Subscriptions are now needed for the fresh air fund and may be sent to Rev. W. D. Mossman, general superintendent of
 the City missions, or to Miss S. J. Hume,
 the lady missionary, or if more convenient
 may be left at the City mission hall or at
 Mi1's drug store, corner of Church and
