happy. not at all like n prosperous lover.
Have you been happy here, Lord Dun
haven! asked Lady Hilda.
Too happy" he replied; "heayen help
me. far too happy"
They said but little that day; Lady
ftilda's watch was unvarying; they had
no interview, no tete-a-tete; the only
change that was perceptible in the duch-
ess was that her fair face was pale as
death, even her lips had lost their color.
Lady Hilda saw that she stood for a
whole hour at the window watching the
leaden skies and the dripping rain. She
went up to her.
What are you thinking OFF," she ask
ed; that wet, dreary prospect is enough
to make you low spirited"
II am thinking of my favorite words, ~
said the duchess; ''the world is well lost
for love-
Lady Hilda made no answer: keen
sense of pain came over her. How this
fair-haired child must have suffered,
even though she had never spoken of her
pain. Then she said to herself that
most certainly her suspicious were cor
rect, and that to-day, above all other
days, she must keep her watch most
strictly. The earl was to leave Fern
hurst at five in the afternoon. She saw
him give the duchess letter; what were
its contents she could not even guess.
| She heard, too. while they were talking,
| these words: Until DEATH" She said
them, and the earl repeated: eyes, until
DEATH
What did they mean? Were they pledg-
ing their love and troth? 1t sounded like
it. So keen was her watch, so intense her
| anxiety over them, that she had not time
to think of herself, or to realize that
her husband was going away, and the
human probability was that she should
see him no more; she had to trample down
the pain, to crush the anguish and despair
| to remind herself that she must forget
| everything else, and think only of them
| of their safety and honor.
| She stood quite still while Lord Dun
| haven bade the duchess farewell; he bent
down to kiss her hands, while her eyes
| We're filled with tears; but Lady Hilda
| felt sure his farewell was merely to save
appearances. 1t was not likely that two
who had loved each other so we'll would
part so.
| He said but one word to Duchess Lur-
| line; he looked in her beautiful face, down
| in her beautiful eyes, and then he said
| to her:
Remember
Then, turning to Lady Hilda. he held
out his hand to her. She saw that he
was deadly pale-that his eyes We're filled
with tears. He could not speak; he helC
her hand tightly clasped for some few
minutes, then he was gone. A great
| darkness came over her-a great souni
| filled her ears: She loved him hpttar thar
she loved her life, and he was gone.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1897-08-27

She ran for dear life. One minute would
make all the difference in the world. If
she could but see I4urline she would hold
her so tightly that nothing on earth should
tear her away. She would struggle with
the earl over her; he should have to slay
her before he took the duchess away.
AS she reached the iron gate she saw
them standing side by side. She heard
the earl's words:
ga carriage is waiting half mile low
er down the road"
She heard the words and then she knew
that in all her suspicious and fears she
had been right. She heard passionate
cry from the duchess and then he kissed
her.
Heaven help me to save her!' cried
Lady Hilda. "Lurline, Duchess of Nairn,
in the name of heaven what are you do
| ing?"
Ihe duchess cried out in alarm; the earl
started back with an angry face.
My darling" sobbed Lady Hilda, hold
ing her tightly clasped, my darling,
heaven has sent me to fetch you back, to
prevent you from doing this wicked deed,
to bid you send him from you and go back
to your husband and your home"
The passion of pain in her voice awed
them both; Lurline was silent, the earl
cried out:
Miss Dunn, you have no right to follow
and to Interfere
Il have a right she answered, "the
right of one Christian to save two others
from the brink of hell. have right, be-
cause come in the name of God
She claSped one arm round the dropping
| figure, she raised the other as though ap,
| pealing to heaven.

Count Up Your Ancestors.

Grandfathers and grandmotherS are
very proud when they can boast of hav-
ing a paltry score or two Of descend
ants, but no one seems to be aware Of
the grounds he has for boasting Of the
number of his ancestors.
Has it ever occurred to you to count
back in direct line? If not, try it now,
and you will be astonished. At the
fest remove you will have two-father
and mother. At the next step you have
four-two grandfathers and two grand
mothers.
Each of these had father and moth
er, so you have four great-grandfath-
ers and four at-grandmothers. Each
Of these again has had two parents, so
that at the fourth generation back you
have sixteen ancestors, at the fifth you
have thirty-two, at the sixth you have
siXty-four, and at the seventh you
have 12S
AS you go little further they rise to
the thousands, tens Of thousands, and
hundreds of thousands, so that, if all
your direct ancestors for twenty gen
erations be added together, they amount
to over /, 100000, and if you go back an
other twenty degrees they total 1,O0O,-
OOO,0OO--or more people than there are
in the world at the present moment, if
you leave out Asia.
Now, as forty generations are equal
to only about 1900 years. if you were
to calculate back to the beginning of
the world, you simply couldn't find fig
ures to express the number of your
blood relations
