ing as ever, and 1t was not long De-
fore she tried her power on halph
Trenholme. 1t was impossible to be in
her society without feeling her magnet
ic influence, and then the sympathy
she gave him was so very delicate, SO
entirely suited to his needs. He won"
dered he had not before discovered
what refinement Of feeling she pos
sessed. She made him understand with
out telling him that she pitied him;
made him feel that his sufferings were
more than the whole world.
Mrs. Trenholme looked on in secret
exultation, Agnes with half defined
feeling of dread for which she could not
account.
Imogene professed to be terribly
superstitious and could not be prevail
ed upon to spend the night at the Rock
on any occasion. But one day a storm
set in while she was there and it ragged
so fearfully that it was unsafe to at
tempt reaching home, and she was
obliged to remain. She was strangely
nervous and restless all the evening.
She forgot to smile when Ralph spoke
to her, and played chess so badly that
he put away the board in disgust. Imo-
gene begged to be allowed to sleep with
Agnes. 1t was such fearful night, she
said, and the old house was so lonely.
To reach the chamber Of Agnes they
had to pass the door Of the room where
Marina had been murdered. Imogene
grew ashen pale as they approached
1t, and clutched the arm Of her COM
panion with something like terror. Ag-
mes stopped and looked at her with
wonder.
What is it, Imogene? Are you ill.,"
The question acted on Imogene like a
shock of electricity. She laughed loudly.
I'LL? Not l. Only little nervous. This
old house is enough to give one the ter
rors, with its gloomy corridors and its
innumerable dark closets"
81 did not know but you might be
thinking of the murder which was done
in that ROOM" said Agnes; "but never
fear poor Marina. The dead never come
back"
Don't they? I tell you, Agnes Tren-
holme, they do" There was something
absolutely fearful in the voice in which
she spoke, but the next moment she
said in her own clear tones, "At least
some people think So"
a year had elapsed since the murder
Of Marina, when Mrs. TreLh1lme ven
tured to speak to her son Of what lay
so near her heart. RALPH had teen very
tender to her that day, more like his
old self than he had been since the

said she was not there The family felt
little uneasiness until night fell, and
then as she did not return they became
seriously alarmed. Search began, and
was continued through the next day,
and far into the night; but no clue %
the missing woman could be found.
Ralph came home towards daybreak
to fling himself upon the couch for an
hours sleep, and when he awake his
wife slept by his side. He started up
and looked at her, almost doubling his
own senses. How very beautiful she
vas, her mouth with the just parted
scarlet lips, showing the pearls within,
one exquisite arm under her head, and
tho long eyelashes curving upward
from the glowing cheek. Ralph touched
her hand and she awoke.
"Imogene" he said sternly, will you
explain this problem to me? Here have
l been searching for you these four
and-twenty hours and more, and now 1
find you calmly asleep, without single
word to me to relieve my anxiety.
Where have you been?"

Germs no one but myself" she replied,
little haughtily.
Private business! Imogene, wife
should have no secrets from her hus-
band! do not wish to pry into your af-
fairs, but 1t will be better to confide this
thing to me at once"
II have nothing that can conflde."

nonfness can Not no Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When the tube is in
famed you have a rumbling s. nd or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an in

She left an icy kiss on his lips and
vanished. Ralph awoke with a start 1t
was all so real it was very difficult to
make it appear simple dream. But
it took hold of this sensitive man. 1t
seemed to him, in his excited state, like
a message from heaven. He rose, dress
ed himself, and went down to the house
of DR.. Hudson. Perhaps his mother had
expected him, for she met him at the
door and led him In to Agnes.
All Ralph's pride and anger broke
down at sight Of that poor stricken
face. He could have cursed himself that
he had ever been angry with her FOR a
moment. He went to the bedside ana
lifted her head to his bosom, and put
his face down to hers.
"My darling! my sister" he cried,
agnes, look up at me! l love you still!'
She seemed dimly to comprehend, for
she smiled and put her weak arms
around his neck, and lying there on his
bosom she fell asleep.

and-by the old doctor said she would
live. But she came back to life weak
and feeble as babe; it was weeks be-
fore her memory returned to her fully,
and the spring opened with many a
bud and blossom before they thought 1t
safe to remove her to the Rock.
And then, as the warm weather ad-
vanced, and Agnes grew stronger, she
was changed from her old self. She
cared no more for the old charms of So
ciety, she sought no companionship,
but would wander for hours down on
the beach where she had played with
Lynde Graham in childhood, with no
companion save the great dog Quito,
which had been Marina's.
She liked too, to take long rides on
horseback-in fact, she seemed to give
out all the love she had to give on Jove,
for the faithful horse had not died, but
still lived and throve under the care
full tenderness of his mistress; and Ag-
mes could never forget that Jove had
heightened out his life-the life Of the
man she loved.

Michael Braun Destroys Property 20
Spite the Rich.
Practical anarchism could be seen
at work in the house Of Mrs. Mary M.
Bryson of New York recently. Mrs.
Bryson engaged man named Michael
Braun to varnish the furniture, and
she agreed to pay him "a day. Ac-
cording to the story which Mrs. Bry-
son told the magistrate Of the York
VILE police court Braun destroyed
property in her house to the value Of
over 81 900 and he had no other appar-
ent motive but his hatred Of the rich
and his principles Of anarchism. He
is charged with mutilating valuable
oil painting entitled "The Holy Fami-
ly." 1t is alleged that he cut off tho
arm of the Virgin, represented in the
painting, and slashed the figure Of the
child Christ in way that suggested his
desire to show his hatred Of things re-
ligious. He is a small man, with low
forehead. Mrs. Bryson told the magis-
trate that she and her sister lived alone
in the house, and became alarmed at
the presence of the man, who continued
his work Of polishing. She said that
when they addressed remark to him
he would reply in vile language, and
they would be obliged to seek the Sc
clusion Of their rooms. He had COM
plete run Of the house. When spoken
to on Aug. he answered with an oath.
A few moments later they saw him
leave the house, and, going upstairs,
discovered. the mutilation Of the pic
ture. He has been arrested.

In well-known street in London

about with a small dog. The dog was
led by piece of chain, and had round
his neck a placard with "Pity the

into the mans outstretched hand.

tragedy. She put her hand on his and
spoke a little timldly.
Ralph, you once intended to marry
to please yourself; wish you would
really marry to please met"
He smiled little sadly and touched
her hair caressingly.
SO you have not quite given up the
old project, mother mine! Well, / will
think Of 1t. love no one. shall not
easily love again."
And lmogene loves you, my son;
think 1t no more than honorable that
you should give her the benefit Of your
name. With such a woman for a wife,
love will surely come. Trust me for it.
He kissed the lips that were so near
his own.
Mother, l will try to crafty you. l
will ask Miss Ireton to be my wife,"
Mrs. Trenholme's face flushed rap
turously, Her lifelong wish would be
gratided. Her only son, the pride of her
heart, would be the husband of the most
beautiful and nobly-born woman in
that part Of the state.
That night, Ralph sat by the side Of
Miss Ireton. He was pale and calm
nothing Of the nervous expectancy that
characterizes the doubtful lover. He
took her hand in his and spoke very
quietly.
Miss Ireton, you know my sad his
tory. You know of the blight that fell
upon my life little more than year
ago, and knowing what you do, will
you be my wife?"
She looked into his cool eyes, and
saw that he did not love her. And she
had given him so much! All the hon.
age Of her impassioned soul! She flush
ed crimson and set her white teeth
hard. 1t was cruel to be won in that
cold way; but anything to be near him.
She would have been happy as his dog,
II she could have been no more to this
man she loved so fervently She put her
hot hand into his.
Il will be your wife" she said, as
coolly as he had spoken.
He touched the jeweled fingers with
his lips and placed upon one Of them a
diamond-the betrothal ring.
All that night Imogene Ireton tossed
restlessly on her bead. Her ambition, at
last, was to be satisfed-she was to be
Ralph Trenholme's wife; but his love,
for which she would have given her
soul, was not to be hers.
"He shall love mew she cried, pas
sionately ~ will win him! Good heav-
ens why is he SO much unlike other
men that my beauty has no attraction
for him? Can it be that l am hideous
in his eyes?"
They were married in the first week
Of January. There was no parade-not
even a bridesmaid, save Agnes Tren-
holme. The old house at the Rock shook
opposed all display. She would have no
wedding party, no bridal tour.
A terrible storm swept over Portlea
the night after Ralph took home wife.
Its like had not been known on the
coast since that fearful storm when the
foreign ship had been wrecked outside
the harbor, and the waves had cast
Marina up at the feet Of Ralph Tren-
holme. The old house at the Rock shook
with the force Of the tempest, the very
foundations trembled, the roar of the
waves on the rocks below was perfectly
deafening. Imogene paced her chamber
all the night through; she could not
sleep, she saba storm like this al
ways made her restless.

From the Scientific American: The
expense ofspecial Crookes tubes, pow
erful coils and batteries has deferred
many from entering this interesting
field of experiment. but Mr.. r. Mcneil,
of this city, has recently devised APP
paratus in which an ordinary mean
descent lamp is substituted for the
Crookes tube, and an induction coil of
common form is made to supply cleo
tricity of sufficiently high potential to
produce the X ray phenomena.
The lamp, which is a so volt, 16 can
die power Sawyer-Man lamp, is made
of German or lime glass. For conven-
fence, 1t is mounted in an insulating
standard. The top of the lamp is COW
cred with aluminium foil, which is con-

tom is connected with the other ter

x ray proceeds from the cathode. By
means of the microscope the shadows
of the bones of the hands and feet,
also of the limbs, may be seen, when
they are placed between the instrument
and the lamp.
1t has been found in this experiment
that when blue fog appears in the
lamp, the vacuum is too low for the
best results. By placing the lamp in
