large trunk that stood open in n corner
of the room.
Astrea went to the trunk, wondering
whether ii contained the wardrobe of
her unhappy predecessor in this room
-poor Lulu. There were gay and even
costly dresses, and all articles requi-
site TO a woman's toilet.
Astrea selected the plainest-a black
silk. 1t fitted her near enough for SER

face and combed her hair she put ii on.

CHAPTER xLIy.

When Rumford had finished break
fasting, he deliberately arose, locked
the dining room door leading into the
passage. took the key from it, and,
turning to Astrea, said:
"Slt down and get your breakfast,
my girl; / prefer, since you are to be.
I'm some degree. my companion, that

the Interview"
And SO saying. Rumford passed into
il front parlor. stretching the conn
municating door wide open so that he
could keep Astrea in sight.
Astrea made no reply to his speech,
which seemed, indeed, to require none.
SHE sat down at the table and slowly
drank a cup Of chocolate.
Rumford, IN the meantime. walked
mp and down the floor of the parlor and
watched.
Astrea did not linger mt the table
with the view of deferring the inter
view. That which she deemed to he

he walked back into the dining room,
rang the bell. unlocked the door, and
said to old Cybele, who answered the
summons:

Cybele looked doubtful about obey

saucer that Astrea had also break

about clearing the table.

Then tried the door leading into the
passage and found Ii fast.
Astrea watched his proceedings, and
saw that she was n close prisoner; but
she felt the little poinard in her bosom,
and smiled to know that she was safe.
Numford threw himself upon the
sofa. and signed to Astrea to seat her.

But Astrea drew herself UP with dig

invitation.

CHAPTER XIV.

Astrea had no duties to perform. She
had not even the woman's little soloce
a work-box. The reader knows that
all her personal effects had been left
behind when she was abducted from
the isle. And since that, she had no
opportunity. even had she possessed
the desire, to procure working materi-
ais. There were books lying about ON
the parlor tables; but they were of
that snowy sort whose chief attraction
lies In their gaudy bindings. Astrea.
therefore. had no means of occupying
herself, even had her mind not been so
deeply ~preoccupied by the terrors OF
her impending fate.
She wandered restiessly about the

PENSION RULINGS.
Decisions In Two Cases That May Affect

Washington. July S-Many pension
cases are affected by the following rul-
ings. which have Just been made by
Assistant Secretary Of the Interior
Webster Davis: In the claim of Fran
els Frank of Company III. Sixteenth
Michigan Infantry. the department
holds that a claimant who has at
tanned the age OF s. years shall be
deemed entitled 10 at least the mini
mum rate of pensions unless the evil
dence discloses an unusual vigor and
ability for the performance Of manual
labor In one of that age. In the case
Of Edward Moore Of the Fourteenth In
dependent battery. Ohio light artillery.
this policy is laid down: When Il shall
be shown that the pensioners right To
have the pension inure wholly to his
benefit Is being abridged or forfeited
by the malfeasance of the guardian and
that the appointing court viii not ad-
minister relief. then the commissioner
of pensions would be legally authorized
10 refuse payment to the guardian and
II need be to the pensioner himself"
