crossed in reading the fateful changes
announced In the first column of the
Times to pay any further attention
to the Rev. Abel and his troubles,
intensified as they we're by her own
careless words.
After a short pause, during which
he thought and she read, 1t was her
turn to utter an exclamation:
"Noel Chevenix is deadin
"Ah! 1t is n good many yerrs
since l saw Chevenix. He was
always too much Of a society lover to
accept invitations to this dreary
place. Poor Cbevenix, he was a good
fellow though. l am sorry to think
1 shall never see him again."
"I wonder If he left you any
moneys" said more practical Mrs.
Singleton.
"Money, my lover Why should
he?n
"Simply because you we're a rela-
ton and he had no one very near to
him.
ellis SISTERS son will get his
money!" said the vicar; and then,
having delivered himself of that
decision he thought no more about
money, but went back to his medita-
tons in connection with the murder,
in which sad thoughts about Noel
Chevenix were now occasionally
mixed.
Truly the vicar could almost have
wished that old Ben had lost his wal
let in the snow, of 30 depressing a
nature had been the morning mail.
He was just considering how diff
erent everything would be in life If
only this or that trifing incident
occurred. How, even walking on
the left side of the street instead of
the right frequently changes the
issues of a whole career, when the
door opened, and the tidy maid of
the establishment brought in a letter
SIT had been overlooked i the
wallet" she told the vicar, with
her broad north country accent.
He opened it with Indifference;
the handwriting was unknown to
him, and he felt as if he had had
enough news for the time being.
At any other time his face would
have assumed a jul liant expression
as he perused it, but to-day he felt
weary and i'll at ease. The pleasure the
tardily delivered letter had brought
was reserved for Mrs. Singleton.
"There, Abel; you see l was right
| told you Noel Chevenix would
leave you some money. Five thou
sand pounds. Now you will be able
to take me to the Riviera or abroad
somewhere. You are executor to
the will, and trustee for the boy,
though; what a bore. Will that nee
essitate your going to London"
81 expect so, dear; but l don't
know. Anyway, we can't start of
abroad just yet"
"But you will take me?"
Certainly, l promise; nothing
unforeseen preventing me-"
For the rest of the day Mimi
thought of nothing but her promised
visit to the continent, and 'the
sights to dream of, not to tell" by
which she expectedto be surrounded.
The vicar, meanwhile, pondered
over the unexpected visit to the
metropolis, which ere long, as exc
cutor to his Cousins will, he would
be called upon to make, and how he
intended, if possible, to throw a
search light on the remarkable coin
cidence of a Glendinning having been
accused of the murder of Pierce
Vaughan.
He would see this released culprit
If it we're possible, and find out what
he had to tell. rgE.a

New Kind Of Artiilcial Milk.

A Cincinnati chemist has made n
discovery that promises to revolution
ize tho dairy business. 1t is combi-
nation of water, solids and fat that is
equal to the finest milk. 1t is in real
lily chemically pure milk and is, of
course, free from all faint OF disease
that COW milk has. This chemical
milk will raise cream, will sour,
turn to curd and water, and butter
and cheese can be made from it tho
same rs from COW milk. AT present
the cost of production is more than 81
u gallon, but the chemist believes
with n few more experiments he can
reduce tho price to ten or fifteen
centsa gallon, and by making it in
wholesale quantities can retail it at
the usual six cents quart. 1t will DO
but short time, according to this,
till the "Dry Feed Dairy" will disap-
pear from the milk wagons to be re-
placed with Chemically Pure Milk
Made From Distilled Water and tho
Purcst Fats. "-Cincinnati Times-Star.

JEWELS or An EMrprss.

Empress of Russia. Besides the fam

empress possesses collection of jew
Il els which nave been presented to her
by the emperor and by foreign
princes, valued Mt $1,000, 900 or ST.
$50, 900. The collection was catalogued
aud value estimated twenty-five years
ago, an operation which took six days
to accomplish. The most beautiful of
the ornaments is necklace of three
rows of pearls, which the empress re-
ceived from the emperor after the birth
of tho Crown Prince Rudolph. These
were ut that time estimated at rs, 900
gulden. Now they are worth 800, 900
gulden, MS the pearl fisheries in Cey-
Ion and Malabar are steadily declin-
ing. The Empress Elizabeth no longer
possesses all tho jewels she had in
1865. Many of them have been pre-
sented to her daughters and friends.

Somebody announces every now and
then that men do not like masculine
looking garments on women; that
starched shirt bosoms and cuffs, stiff
hats and man-like coats are their
abomination, and that they wish wo-
men to be in everything the opposite
of themselves. Nevertheless, tailor
made fashions have practically no rival
in tho average mans esteem, if his
comments are to be taken rs an indi-
cation of his taste. The palmer the
skirt, the tighter the stitched bodice,
the higher the starched collar, the
natter the FOUR in hand scarf and the
doggier the dogskin gloves, the more
approval do they win. Apparently n
man likes to DO beaten on his own
