Saturday there will be a great at

sumptuOus production of Sardou's

The gifted American Actress Miss
Kathryn Kdder will appear as
Madame Sans Gene, the careless wash

the friend Of Napoleon, in which she
has made such a brilliant success, and
Mr.. Augustus Cook will be seen in his
life like impersonation of Napoleon.
Madame Sans Geue as Catherine
Hubscher, the laundreSs is a mirth
loving, kind-hearted, devil-may-care-
girl. Later when through all the
changes of Revolutionary times, she
finally becomes the duchess of Dant-
zig, a figure prominently in the Court
of Napoleon, she is still the lovable
woman OF the laundry, beautiful. pure
generous, in an immortal court.

Love and Marriage Are not for you.
gangs. In word, the most wretched
in this world We're, in many respects,
happier than Alma Elverton, the young
and beautiful heiress-apparent OF
lGdenlawn, Torg Castle, and the Bar
ony of Elverton; for they at least en-
joyed human sympathy and a compau-
ionship. while she had no friend-not
one--not single creature Of her own
sind to speak with.
1t is true there were laborers on the
estate and servants in the house; but
what society could the young girl find
in then?
And there was her mother, retired
within the citadel of her own mysteri-
GUS and selfish sorrows; but what COM
partnership could Alma find in her?
All young girls, as they develop into
womanhood, yearn from their secret
souls for more perfect sympathy
than they usually meet from their own
family circles. This is the real cause
of romantic schoolgirl friendships.
and, alas! too frequently of other less
harmless attachments.
In large and busy households OF
many sisters and brothers, this asplrl-
ton Is very much modified and rem.

CHAPTER XVII.

Alma grew up as beautiful as one of
Raphaels picture angels; but her beau
ty was of a directly opposite style
to that of her handsome mother. AL
ma rcsembled the patricirn women of
her fathers family. Her form was Of
fairy-like proportions, small, slender,
delicate, yet well-rounded and very
graceful. Fer features were of the
purest Gretian type, her complexion
was exquisitely fair, with the faintest
rose-tint flushing cheeks and lips. Her
hair was of pale-gold color; her eye
brows and eyelashes of q darker hue,
shaded deep-blue eyes, full Of pensive
| thought. Hers was q beauty that
might have gladdened a family circle
and adorned society. But, alas for AL
ma! Her Young life passed in worse
than conventual seclusfon.
Scarcely a'.y form Of existence in
this world cc,.ld be so iaEely ana mo-
notonous as that of this fair girl at
Observation-Disclosures paradise to
| look at, purgatory to Ire in!
After the departure CT i .r governess,
Alma was literally solitary Her moth
er, in the bl;od seifishne$s Of a cher
ished grief. dwelt apart in her own
private suite Of rooms, which she new
err left except at the call of charity.
Alma had neither brother, sister,
friend or neighbor; she was utterly
companionless, and her life. therefore,
| more lonely than perhaps that of any
other creature in the world.
THE children of the poorest parents
have companions among their equals;

upon her lap, and while the old express
sion of incurable sorrow came back to
her face, replied, IN a voice of deep de-
spair:
81 had hoped it might have been 9th
erwise, but heavens holy will be
done!"
1t was when Alma was about ten
years of age that Mrs. Elverton re-
ceiyed the only news of her husband
since the day of his strange disappear
ance. This was contained In All anony-
nous letter from st. Petersburg an
nouncing his decease III that city. Mrs.
Elverton Immediately wrote to the
British ministry ut that court, to ascer-
tain the facts of the case; but after the
most careful investigation, the utmost
extent of information she obtained was
this, that Il stranger, an Englishman, of
the name of ElvertOn, had died at st.
Petersburg. He had left no papers to
afford clue to his identity; his linen
and boxes were marked III. Elverton."
And at the time that this inquiry was
set on foot the body Of the stranger
had been too long buried to afford the
slightest possibility Of its being identi-
fed even if disinterred; and under
grave had not been violated.
Mrs. Elverton never discovered the
writer Of the anonymous letter. She
did not consider the intelligence she
had received of sufficient reliability to
warrant her in publishing the death of
Mr.. Elverton or in placing her family
In mourning. Yet those familiar with
the lady's moods thought that in her
secret heart she believed in the death
of her husband, and derived satisfac-
ton from the belief, for it was OBJ
served that from the day she first re-
ceived the intelligence-true or false
her countenance, though retaining all
it's profound melancholy, lost it's I'M
natural expression of horror and
despair.
Still, she took no delight in the soci-
ciety of her innocent daughter; still she
attended no place of public worship;
received no company and paid 10 visits,
except visits Of cnninlence to the
houses of attiiction, Or CT charity to the
abodes Of poverty.
And so passed the years Of Alma's
childhood. The youn:, girl, If unfor-
trnate in her mother, YVES blessed in
her gOverncsS-a woman OF Christian
heart, a cultivated mind, ana accom-
plishetl manners-who conscientiously
devoted herself to the temporal and
eternal welfare Of her young charge.
1t was to this lady that Alma owed
not only all OF her worldly education,
but all her Religions instruction. 1t was
through her sov;.rEcss that Alma was
prepared for t!i;: Christian rites Of bap-
tism and confirmation, both Of which
she received when she was about fif-
teen years of age.
But after this Alma lost her friend,
companion anu governess.
The curate to whom Miss Moore had
been betrothed for eight gears at length
obtained living, and claimed the long
promised hand of his bride, who took
leave of her friends at Edenlawn. and
went to make the happiness Of hum

During that morning the illness Of
the lady assumed another phase, and
before noon an infant daughter was
prematurely ushcred into life.
But Mr.. Elverton was not there to
bless his first born; and though mes.

In this instance also Eudora meekly
yielded to the guidance of Mrs. Bar
ton, took a night-gown from the travel
ling-bag, and permitted the good wo-
man to help her to undress and get
into bed.
And then Mrs. Barton hung up Eu-
dora's dress, and bidding her be of
good cheer and wishing her good
night, left the cell, and locked her
in.
And as soon as the poor girl found
herself again alone, she closed her
eyes. clasped her hands. and raised
her heart in prayer to God for strength
comfort, and deliverance.
