tho color had returned to her lips, al
though her face was still pale. But she
remained with her head supported by
one arm, her eyes dropping to the floor.
Felicie crept to her side, and nestled
her hand into the chilly, listless fingers
that hung over the arm of the easy
chair. They closed fondly over hers.
Still the girl dared not speak.
At length the countess turned and
fixed her mournful eyes upon the visit
full, girlish face.

higher than those OF love. So, at
least, 1t seems to me. But, Felicie, l
no longer urge upon you this marriage
with the marquis. You shall Judge for
yourself; whatever your decision, you
may rely upon my support and coun-
tenance, even against your fathers

passions is your publication to come"
They had now reached the open
meadow from which the roof and Chin
neys Of the chateau could be plainly
seen.
DO not accompany us farther; there
Is no occasion for 1t, and your time is
valuable" said the countess.
He turned at once,
Then wish you goodnight"
The ladies waited till the woods hid
his figure from them, then went slowly
toward the chateau, from whose bou-
doir windows, as they approached near,
they saw the cheerful lights streaming
forth like beckonipg star.
ooh, mamma" said Lady Felicie, II
wonder so much at you! Title nor for
tune, nor forty fathers should have
separated me from Emile, so grand and
heroic as he ISL
The countess paused suddenly, and
leaning heavily against her daughter,
burst into a perfect passion Of tears.
The stern pent emotion once finding
vent, 1t seemed that she would never
grow calm again. Felicie was deeply
alarmed. She passed both arms around
the Keeling figure, kissed her franti-
cally, called her by every endearing
name, and besought her to recover
composure. Nothing seemed to avail,
until suddenly the idea occurred to the
daughter to feign alarm.
"Harkp exclaimed she. "oh, man.
ma, is not that NJ. Pierre, yonder?"
One great shudder shook the coun-
tess, and Selling Felicie by the hand,
she dragged her into the shelter OF a
cluster of mulberry trees. She listened
anxiously for several moments, then
cautiously resumed their approach to
the chateau. The little ruse had been
successful. They reached the balcony
in safety; stealthily followed the I'M
used corridor and gained the boudoir.
Hastily removing their wraps, and put
ting them out of sight, the pair sat
down, and assumed an attitude Of care
less Incidence, as though they had re-
NAMED there through the whole even
ing.
1--WE must show them that we are
here. Open a book, Felicie, as though
you were reading, and then ring the
bell and order a flask Of wine. 1 am
deathly faint. Give the order your
self, for fancy 1 could not steady my
tones yet" She leaned back in the
chair, her face as pale as marble. Lady
Felicie hastily obeyed her wish. The
maid hastily obeyed the command, then
said, timidly:
"Oh, my lady, have you looked out
on the lawn this evening? Jaques de-
clared there were dark shapes fitting
about; though, TO be sure, they had
no spades nor lights. We are all so
frightened"
Foolish things-go say your prayers
and you will be SAFE" answered Lady
Felicie, to save her mother the occa-
sion to speak.
The girl went off wondering at the
courage Of the noble ladies, and quite
innocently told a very broad falsehood
to her mates in the servants hall.
"Only think, there's my lady and
Lady Felicie as quiet and still as two
mice; they've been reading all the
evening as If no such things as ghosts
ever walked"

farmer and it was in the open air pur-
suits of farm life that Colonel Fellows
built up the robust condition whlch
stood him so we'll in after years.
When he was 10 his father sent
him to a plantation in Arkansas
where young Johns uncle taught
him all he knew about farming In
the south. About a year after MS
removal south Fellows took up the
study of law and formed partnership
with Walter L. Bragg. In very snort
time he had acquired wide reputation
in Arkansas as a lawyer, and his serV-

the cause Of the people among whom he
lived. After the war he went to New
York under the patronage of Governor
Seymour and was at once recognized as

GOOD ANIMAL STORIES.
verncions Collection OF Them Put Intoa
Book by Andrew Lang.

Book by Andrew Lang.
A collection of sixty-fve animal
stories, edited by Andrew Lang. has
been published. The editor declares
that they are mostly true" Some of
them are very entertaining. There is.
for example, the story of "Sai, the
Panther" who was brought up as a
domestic pet at Cape Coast Castle, he
being native of Ashantee, some seven
ty or eighty years ago. The following
is passage from the story Of Sal,
which describes the scenes depicted in
the first of the two illustrations kindly
lent to us by Messrs. Longmans & Co.
Sal was very popular with everybody,
but he had his own favorites, and tho
chief OF these was the governor, whom
he could not bear to let out OF his
sight. When his master went out he
room window, where he could watch all
that was going on, and catch the first
sight of his returning friend. Being by
this time nearly grown up, Sails great
body took up all the space, to the great
disgust of the children, who could see
nothing. They tried to make him move,
first by coaxings and then by threats,
but as Sal did not pay the smallest at
tention to either one or the other, they
at last all took hold Of his tail and
pulled so hard that no was forced to
move. Signora, the chief figure in our
second illustration, is clever poodle,
who, however, was outwitted by the
parrot Lori, another pet Of the same
household. Signora had been taught to
buy cakes at the bakers, either paying
for them or ION tick" according to the
masters orders. Lori, noticing this.
often called the dog when the two were
alone, initiating the masters voice, and
ordering him, go to the baker. On
tick" The guileless Signora went,
brought the cakes, and Lori immedi-
ately ordered him go out" as did his
master when the poodle was not re-
quired in the room. When left alone
Lori the cunning devoured the cakes,
and frequently repeated the experiment
till her wickedness was discovered
