Srrfe has ru'ned more people than

Nothing is more noble, nothing NOR

Love can he misunderstood, bu

There are twO kinds of gcniuses-the

Only he who lives life of his own
can help the lives of other men.
Men of great methods seldom make a

1t Is hard to tell which will weaken a
man most. to fiatter or to pity him.
If you admire thing, don't examine
it too closely.
Everyone occasionally feels that it
is his duty to say something to keep
bis neighbOr from being too prHnd.
One tenth part of the labor and
anxiety that men display to acquire
fame on earth would establish their
reputation in Heaven forever.
When q man wins q la xsuit, 1t
doesn't mean that he will get the money
that he has been fighting for, but that
another suit will be filed.
Each one OF us is hem"ed in by the
horizon OF his own times; imagination

CHAPTER XVI.

At 4 o'clock that same afternoon Few
eral stood again in the streets of London
The journey from France had been made
mechanically, but now he paused, reaIiz-
ing the nature of the task which was be-
fore him. Some one must tell Constance
what had occurred. He hailed a hanson
at once and drove to DIR. Priestly's house
On alighting at the gate he came face
to face with Alice Greybrook
'NIiss Greybrook, this is fortunate" {"
said he, taking her hand: show is Lord
HarringtonW
much better, and past all danger"
Il wish some one TO go to Avondals
Castle, to the Duchess d'Azzeglio."
ITO COnstance!" cried Alice in alarm: !:
''is there i'll news for her, Mr.. FeveraI?"
whether the news be good or ill, it
will be for her to determine. The duke
is dead"
That same evening Alice left London
for Avondale Castle, but before start.
ing she had heard from Feveral the whole
story of the dukes death.
While all these terrible events had been
taking place, Constance, utterly ignorant
of what was going on, had been living
quietly with her grandmother.
Life to her was virtually over; she be-
feved that all happiness for her was end
ed, but she was glad to escape the degra-
dation which would have come upon her
had she been compelled to return and live
with her husband. The only consolation
for all her sorrow was the knowledge that
her cousin lived. Day by day she waited
and watched in feverish eagerness for
the letters which came to her froa. her
friend, always bringing her some comfort
and making her miserable life q little less
hard to bear. When Alice arrived she
rushed to embrace her friend; then she
saw that her face was pale and troubled.
"Alice, what is the matter? why have
you Gomez she cried, in alarm
