Sydney was becoming more
madly in love with me at each
visit, and | reveled in his abject
devotion. You must think me a
vile designing girl, with neither
principles nor gratitude. You are
right, yet there are many girls to-
day, engaging in this same detest-
able, humiliating conduct, all from
vanity and love of enslaying men
by their beauty and grace.

only wished the exultant feeling
of superior destinations. 1t was
sweet to me to draw at will that
stern, cold man to my feet, but [
never dreamed that | was bringing
bitter anguish to a tender heart,
and years of undying agony to low
ing parents.
Preparations were going rapidly
on for Lily's marriage, but she
manifested little interest in them.
Sydney came and went oftener,
but Lily grew gradually quieter
and quieter, until at last, she
scarcely smiled when he came or
wept when he left. But for all
this, she never murmured; she was
the same sweet Lily as of old, and
all treated me with gentle kind
ness, when they should have
driven me forth from their midst
as a serpent from Eden.
The day before the marriage had
dawned bright and clear, and Sgd
ney had come for the last time.
The next evening he was to bear

that ever bloomed in New Eng
lands rugged soil.
Something, feeling | could not
understand, held me back from
meeting Sydney as usual and Lily
met him alone. Through all these
years l have been thankful tor
that. There was strange feeling
of unrest about me. | did not
wish to meet him now except in
another's presence. There had
never been any open avowal of love
on his part, but looks and hand
clasps speak volumes sometimes.
I believed he loved me wildly but
honor sealed his lips, and the
time of his trial was nearly over.
In one day he would be the hus
band of another, and common de-
cency must, after that, guide my
actions.

aunt and smiled lightly as he took,
my hand. There was no con-
straint nor embarrassment in my
manner, but his hand which
clasped mine, was hot and dry,
and shook with nervousness.
AS my hand touched his, the
blood surged in hot tide over
face and brow, then as suddenly
receded, and left him ashen pale.

Oh!The agony of the long hours,
as they dragged themselves away,
before they found our dear one.

saw procession of sorrowful men,
bearing between them a litter, on
which lay all that remained of her,
who had once been the JOY of her
parents, the idol of her lover and
the child of the whole neighbour
hood.
There she lay, so still, so beauti-
full, but the light forever gone from
the lovely eyes, the smile forever
gone from the sweet lips.
The pitiful wall of that heart
broken mother, the agonized
groans of that childless father, and
the bitter, bitter, weeping of him
who would so soon have held her
in his arms as his wife, have rung
in my ears night and day for nine
teen years. They are ever with

Dut TIC never CA1QeQ me. He died
quite young, never knowing nv
miserable story.
A few years after our marriage,
he handed me, one day, a paper
with an article marked. 1t was
the account of a suicide in New
York. The victim was DR.. Svd-
ney Gilmore. The paper stated
that he had been gradually losing
his mind for some years, and final
ly ended his life with a poisonous
drug. He was highly compli-
mented and much regret expressed
at his early death.
With this sad memory ever with
me, can you wonder, Gwen. that

you following so closely in my foot

Mrs. Winston fell back upon her
pillow, utterly Frustrated by the
trying ordeal through which she
had just passed.
Gwendoline sprang to her assist
ance and quickly administered ire
storative, but all night her mother
lay SO still, from very exhaustion,
with cool, damp dew upon her
face and limbs, that Gwen. became
greatly alarmed. At dawn, however,
she slept quietly, and when at last,
she awoke, she was much better.
During the silent watches of that
night, Gwendoline had come to
know that it was best that she and
har mother should leave at once;
so when she could leave the room,
she wrote a hasty telegram to
Frank to come for them at once,
and sent it to the office.
She did not leave her mother all
day, but in the evening she entered
the supper room with her same
beaming smile and gay speeches to
every one. She carefully avoided
Guys eye, but when they left the
supper room, he followed and
eagerly called her name, as she
stood tor a moment at the foot of
the stairs.
"Just a moment" he pleaded,
"come out on the piazza, l want
to tell you something"
She allowed him to lead her to a
rustic seat on the cool porch and
seat himself beside her.

With her new resolve fresh in

second, | will not be here. "

had come and it was two much for
me. l reeled, and would have fallen,
had it not been for Sydney's strong
arm. AS he caught and held me up
I was conscious enough to feel kisses
rained upon lips, cheek and brow,
and in a moment was myself again.
But that moment of weakness wrought
the ruin of my whole life. Unheard
by us, Lily had come, with her Soft
tread to the door, and seen and heard
all. She did not speak, nor did she
seem at all moved, WIN she saw me
in her lovers arms, and saw him kiss
me so passionately. think she was

drew her quickly out on the
porch, and rushed past her TO my
own room, where l threw myself, in
hysterical weeping, on my bed.

conduct. Why was she SO still and
calm? Why did she not overwhelm
me with a torrent of abuse as |
should have done in her place? l

one there would tolerate my presence

For hours, it seemed to me, l lay
there weeping. Then I rose hastily
and began packing my trunk, when a
tap came at my door. To my smoth-
cred "come in" Llly's maid, entered,
to ask if cher young lady" was with
me, as DR.. Gilmore was asking for
her and she was not down stairs.
My heart sank like lead, l knew not
why as l told her l had not seen
Lily in hours.
In a few moments l heard her
name called in many places, at first
calmly then anxiously, and by and
by, with note of oval, that put me
IN a treamor of excitement.
l ran down stairs to ask Sydney of
her. Calm though he usually was,
he was trembling from head to foot.
Great beads of perspiration stood
out on his brow and he could scarcely
stand.
He told me that, as I left them,
Lily came to him, and taking his
hands in both of hers, said quite
calmly.
"Sydney l do not blame you Ellen is
very beautiful and you could not
help loving her..
He told me she would not allow him
to reproaCh himself at all,no did she
utter word of blame for me. She
left him, standing on the porch and
went in, he thought to find me, but
as she was so long returning, he
called Mildred to ask where she was.
All was now excitement. A horrible
dread of, we knew not what, had
settled down upon us all.
AS hour after hour passed and no
tidings came of her, the whole neigh
borhood joined in the search. All
had loved the sweet ,affectionate child,
and there wasnot heart in all that
throng of searchers, that did not feel
a pursonal griet at her disappearance.

was heard riding furiously towards

WAGON TIRE LAWS.

that the vehicles used on them shall
have tires Of greater width than are now
in general use. Extracts from the state
laws respecting the width Of tire to be
used on vehicles are given, some oil
which offer rebate Of portion OF the
highway tax on wagons with rims or
tires not less than three and three and
one-half inches wide. Ohio makes 1t
unlawful to transport over macadamized,

tire Of less than three inches 10 width, n
burden of more than two thousand
pounds. Indiana has q law against
hauling on wet gravel road a load OF
over two thousand pounds on narrow
tired wagon, or over twenty-five hundred
pounds on broad tire wagon.
Kentucky makes distinction In favor
of broad-tired wagons In fixing toll rates.
The results Of experiments with wide
tires In various states are also given.
The bulletin, 10 concluding, prints ex-
tracts from the consular reports con-
corning the width Of tires prescribed III

ONYCHOPhAGY.

NJ. Berillon, French doctor, who has
been directing his attention for som~
time past to the study Of nail-biting, or
as he calls It, onychophagy, finds that
habit or disease extremely common. In
q public school In Paris, out Of 265 pu-
pills examined during the month Of April
last, sixty-three, that Is to say, nearlv
one-fourth, were addicted to biting their
finger-nails. Curiously enough, results
vary greatly In different districts and in
different schools In the same district. It
seems that girls are more given to the
habit than boys. In one girls school In
the Department Of the Yonne eleven out
oftwenty-one were confirmed nsii-blters.
In another girls school the proportion
was 6l out Of 2O7 pupils, and OF those 81 /,
Is were found to be In the habit OF Bit
ing the nails on both hands, and the
others Of biting only those Of one hand.
n. Berillon recognizes that nervousness
has much to do with the habit, and he
proposes to cure It by means Of "sug-
gestion." Probably It would be more
efYectual to make the victims wear
gloves or finger stalls.-London Daily
