drawing-room in a London mansion,
wherein was an old gray-haired man
and weeping woman by his side.
''How terribly grief-strieken they
are, remarked Lady Blanche, and
much changed since last saw them
Naturally SO, replied the phan-
tom. Persons such as they are GER
tain to grieve over the death of an
only son, whom YOU remember to have
seen after he had received his death
wound on the sands by the sea. near
the castle of old Monaco"
Alas. yes said Lady Blanche,
signing sadly.
Lady Blanche sobbed convulsively.
For her the world was cold and
dreary, with no bright promise of
Joys and pleasures TO come, and when
her mind reverted to the past what
was there for the fondest memory to
dwell upon? Naught but the remem-
branee of loving kiss-the kiss
which Gerard Ransford had imprinted
on her lips.
When she looked back through the
dim vista of years passed away, the
one oasis there was that solitary kiss,
Take that from her and her life was
blank indeed. and without one JOY

She felt as one to whom human love
was denied, as il the power to love.
which once was hers, now lay buried
in the clay cold grave with Gerard
Ransford.
Her dream was over and she awoks
with tremulous cry upon her lips
and glanced around expecting to find
the phantom by her couch, but only
the pale moonbeams streamed through
the chamber window and Lady Blanche
saw that she was alone. She arose
and knelt upon the floor, and in heart
felt prayer thanked the Father of all
mercies that the dreadful scene she
had witnessed on the sands By the
sea near the castle Of old Monaco was
but the shadow of a dream, and she
rejoiced that she was taught To know
herself at last
From that night Lady Blanche
was an altered human being. and her
friends marveled at the change. and
wondered by what magic spell the
good was wrought.
The sequel may best be told by a
paragraph from the Morning Post:
"A marriage has been arranged be-
tween Lady Blanche Marley, only
daughter Of the earl and countess of
Rivenham, and Lieutenant Gerard
Ransford, Of the Tenth Hussars, and
will take place early in the spring o.
the coming year.

One night the phantom babe Lady
Blanche TO follow it. and it led her TO
a strange country over the sea. and
when she glanced around she found
herself in sunny land, where the inn
penetrable dome of the skies above
was of a soft. deep azure. without a
deck Of cloud upon the horizon, and
the yiolet-tinged sea beat unsteady
against a fower-crowned shore. and
the walks were lined with orange
trees in blossom, and magnolias beau
titled the hedges with their pure white
flowers. She followed the phantom
through a grove of palm trees and into
a garden OF lemon-scented geraniums,
every one six feet high, and then down
an avenue of myrtles, and everywhere
the balmy air was perfumed with the
sweet scent Of flowers.
They halted in front of a large
white building. into which many per-
sons, both men and women, streamed,
and on all their faces Lady Blanche
observed the same eager, anxious and
cruel expression.
Lady Blanche glanced inquiringly
at the phantom.
Yes" it said in answer To the
lady's thought, this is Monte Carlo,
and that is the Casino"
They now entered a large room.

round the tables.

This is what happened to the cat

of Miss Emma l. Adams, librarian
OF the JOB Male public library Of
Plainfield.
This cat apparently had enjoyed
long and uncnviable existence. In
fact. there is nothing about its size,

to its untimely death it was more
than the ordinary prowler Of back
yards, yet it is now an object OF in

The evidence is that about six
months ago it crept beneath the floor
Of the Warren chapel. and there died
not nine but one long, miserable
death. At any rate there are those

When it became necessary to build

How many boys and girls on the

fatal to good butter. In the first

churn is ten years behind tho times
and ought TO be thrown out OF every
farm house, even If no more butter
is made than to supply the family
table. The box or barrel churn Is
cheap and IL is so much more con
venient and so much better butter
can be made with IL that there
should be no hesitation in discardinp
the old dash churn In its favor. But.
no matter what kind OF churn Is
used, never churn until tho butter "a
gathered in chunks large enough to
hold up tho dasher There arc sew
eral reasons why this should not be
done. One Of them is that tho grain
is destroyed. Good butter has a
fine distinct grain and when broken
