Miss Marie Corelli writes to the New
York Herald that she is most modest
and retiring person, and that she refuses
all requests for her portrait or to ap-
pear before the public, though she
might make great deal of money by
reading from her own works. She de-.
MES that she declined to have her latest
book, The Sorrows of Satan" sent TO
the reviewers ont of spite, but declares
that she wanted to show them that it
would sell without their praise or blame
and she adds that she has the pleasure
of knowing that &c, 900, out of the so, ,O00
already disposed of, were sold before a
single notice of the book had been pub
lished. Miss Corelli admits that she is
n fighter, and that she has not scrupled
to return the blows aimed at her with
interest, las all should who set value
on the noble art of self Defence IN
concluding her TRADE, she says: Il am,
happily, unmarried which is much
better than being unhappily married /,

women live, at home with my relatives.

dangerous experience which left him in a

shattered that il was feared he might never

In an interview with q reporter Of the
Republican, regarding this experience which
had attracted considerable attention, Mr.
Trip stated:
"In March, 1892. was taken with what

after that unaccustomed stimulant, that

"A hundred pounds. whole years

a generous old soul She really is the
dearest old thing"
She just missed being very dear to
you. Bella" said Stafford.
He had dropped to the use of her
Christian name while they were on
board the boat. 1t seemed natural now
that she was to be in his Charge till they
all three went back to England.
Il shall take upon myself the privi-
lege of an elder brother till we land at
Dover" he said 'after that-well, it
must be as you please"
The question of their future relations
must have been satisfactorily settled
before they crossed the channel, for
Beila's next letter to her mother com.
municated three startling facts.
First, that the enclosed check for el.-
600 was to be invested in debenture
stock in Mrs. Rolleston's name. and was
TO be her very own, income and princi-
pal. for the rest of her life.
Next, that Bella was going home to
Walworth Immediately.
And last. that she was going to be
married to Mr.. Her bert Stafford in the
following autumn.

THE END.

We'll try week or two at Varese
first" said Stafford. When you can
walk half way up Monte Generoso with
out palpitation of the heart, you shall
so back to Walworth."
Poor mother, how glad she will be
to see me, and how sorry that I've lost
such good place"
This conversation took place on the
boat when they were leaving Bellagio.
Lotta had gone to her friends room at
seven o'clock that morning, long before
Lady Ducayne's withered eyelids had
opened to the daylight, before even
Francine, the French maid, was astir,
and had helped to pack a Gladstone bag
with essentials, and hustled Bella down
stairs and out of doors before she could
make any strenuous resistance.
Its all right Lotta assured her.
Herbert had a good talk with Lady
Ducayne last night and it was settled
for you to leave this morning. She
doesn't like invalids, you see.'
mo" sighed Bella, ''she doesn't like
invalids. 1t was very unlucky that |
should break down just like Miss Tom

The Staffords carried Bella Rolleston

however, treating Bella as coolly as if
he had been the family physician, and
she had been given over wholly to his
