nave taken its place among your other
wedding presents, but it was not sent
home until this morning. There was a
difficulty in matching some of the stones
l wish you to wear it to-day, and when
ever You look at it to assure yourself Of
my affection for you"
Ihe young girl thanked her briefly. A
lew weeks since and such kind words
would have wrung from her a heart full
OF love; 1t was too late now. She knew
that it was for her money, and not for
herself, that mother and son valued her.
But still further, to her intense surprise,
Lady Darel bent down and kissed her
not merely touched her face with her lips,
as was her ordinary fashion. with a touch
as light as a butterfy's wings. She kissed
her and said:
My dear Hilda, you become my daugh-
ter to-day, and hope we shall always be
good friends. You will wear the bracelet
today"
"Yes"
Il love my son very much, and I am
very proud of him. hope he will be hap
py. l hope you will have many tranquil
years together
He will be happy said the girl. "He
will have all that he wants, and that
makes happiness, 1 suppose, in this
world"
Lady Darel looked thoughtfully at her;
she did not understand the girl in this
mood; 1t was unusual; there was some
subtle change in her face and her manner,
as though she had passed through some
ordeal. Yet that could not be; there had
been nothing to disturb the even tenor of
her way. Still her d.'ship was baf1ed.
Then came another rap-at the door; this
time it was superb bouquet from the
young earl.
Flowers" said Lady Hilda. "Look,
Annie, for the thorns."
"rhe thorns, my lady?' she replied;
there are none"
And the thought came to her that the
sharpest thorn of all was the one planted
in her own heart.
So the ill-omened marriage took place,
and the general feeling was that, although
the ceremony had been one of the grand
est, yet the chief actors in it were not to
be enved.
1t was five in the afternoon when they
started for Dover; they went across to
Calais by the evening boat and on to
Paris by the express train; every detail
of the journey had been arranged, there
fore no word was spoken during the drive
to London bridge, save once, when the
earl said he never remembered to have
seen London so crowded.
Then came the confusion of starting.
The earl purchased every paper or peri
orical he thought she would like, and gave
them to her. The white lips were never
unlocked for one word.
Then at last they were on their way to
Dover, and the earl looking for the first
time that dny at his wife's foce saw how
white and set and sad it was.

CHAPTER VI.

The week passed, and Lord Dunhaven
went away; but because in going he had
shaken hands with Hilda, and told her to
be careful during the hot weather, she
was in an ecstasy of delight. That any
one should care whether the weather
should affect her or not was something
WONDERFUL and her delight showed how
utterly unused to it she was. Then he
was gone and nothing remained but to
prepare the trousseau. 1t was wonderful
how the girl frightened and improved:
every day developed new beauty in her;
only there were no loving eyes to note it..

CHAPTER TX.

The station at Dover was crowded with
passengers; as usual, there were some
lookers-on. A lady watching the passen-
gers as they alighted. calling her hus-
bands attention to Lady Dunhaven.
Look she said, "at that young lady;
how beautifully she is dressed. How
young she is, yet she has look like COM
ing death in her face
The young countess, who overheard the
words, smiled to herself and clasped more
tightly the letter she held in her hand.
She walked with her husband in silence
on to the pier; there was the lovely, laugh
ing summer sea; the waves that she had
loved and listened to. A great longing
came over her to open her arms and
spring into that friendly sea, the chime
of the waves was SO familiar to her. She
saw the Channel boat at the end. The
earl cried out:
"The British Queen. I went in that
same boat last year"
They descended the steps and stood to-
gether on the deck while all the luggage
was brought in. Lord Dunhaven said,
at last:
"Now we are all right; the two ser
wants are here, the luggage is all safe;
we shall start in few minutes
one lookeu WNuly around.
81 should like to go to the cabin" she
said. II will go alone.'
She turned to him and looked in his
face.
Lord Dunhaven, you asked me to kiss
she said; will you shake hands with
me?"
There was strange light in the dark
pvpS-SOph n 1iphf ho ito
face that he was startled into doing what
she asked him. Silently he took her hand
and held it for half minute tightly clasp
ed in his own, then he turned away, and
she went down the cabin stairs. A strange
haste came over her; her trembling hands
could hardly obey her will.
Annie she cried, and her maid came
quickly. "Give me the black cloak and
the travelling hood" she said.
In two minutes her whole outward ap-
pearance was completely changed; the
beautiful dress was covered by a long
back cloak; the beautiful bonnet with its
rich plumes had given place to black
travelling hood.
"Why, my lady, you have quite dis
guised yourself" said the maid.
She looked up eagerly.
''Do you think so, Annie? Will the
earl know me, do you think?''
81 am quite sure he will not" said
Annie.
Then the young countess said:
II am going on deck now-I will not
remain here, Annie. The earl is smoki
ing; [ will not go to him; but when the
boat is half way between England and
France, give him this letter; it contains
good news that will please him."

In Case of Collision.

When the, use Of the automatic vacu-
um brake was first made compulsory
on cur railroads, great pains were
taken by the foremen of engine sheds
to see that the drivers We're fully alive
to the proper working of it.
In one of our northern towns fore
man was examining a driver on this
subject, and after questioning him for
some time put the following query to
him:
"1f you We're in charge of an engine
and the brake failed, and you saw a
collision was unavoidable, what steps
would you take?"
The answer, if totally unexpected,
was not devoid of genuine wit. The
driver looked his questioner up and
down, and, with a look of contempt,
blurted out:
''The tender steps, sir; and pretty
handy, too"

Rubber-Producine Plants.

Monsieur Dybrowski, professor Of
colonial agriculture at the Institut Ags
ronomique, Paris, has called the at
tention of the French Government to
the rapid disappearance Of the caOut.
chonc forests in all the equatorial re-
gions Of the globe, and warns not only
France but all other countries having
tropical possessions that unless some
preventive steps are taken at once, the
time is close at hand when all of the
various rubber-producing plants will
have disappeared from their native
hannts. Already, he says, in India the
spontaneous production has diminish
ed in an alarming manner. Already,
too, in all forests of the easily reached
portions Of Africa, the rubber-produc-
ing trees have DISAPPEARED. They have
been destroyed in all the coast regions,
and day by day the destroyers-the
gum-gatherers-must penetrate deeper
and deeper into the primeval tropical
forests to obtain the worlds supply.
When one thinks of the Importance Of
the role played by rubber in the arts
and Industries, and of its almost in
dispensability in electrical science, the
cause for uneasiness becomes very
manifest
Monsieur Dybrowski urges France
and England to lend all possible en-
couragement and aid to the culture OF
rubber producing plants. Experiments,
instituted dn the Congo region, in the
cultivation of a shrub. the caoutchou-
tier Of Ceara, have given brilliant re-
suits, and it is urged that they be ex-
tended.

Retail Merchants, Meeting.

The first state meeting of retail mer.
chants, held at Redfeld last week, was
most interesting and important session.
Nearly 100 representative merchants from
many sections of the state were present.
Permanent organization was effected by
the election of &. A. Wood of Milbank,
president, and D. G. Gross of Yankton,
vice president, and the following executive
committee: A. G. Oschnect of Webster, r.
s. Vossey of Washington Springs, P. r.
Bartlett of Groton, S. N. Brown Of Clark,
and G.. G. Peterson of Newark. 1t was
decided to hold the next years meeting at
Huron on the'second Wednesday in June.
The leading features of the meeting were
papers rendered by Messrs. Green of Toll
erton & Stetson, and Preston of Knapp g.
Spalding of Sioux City.
This movement against catalogue houses
has made splendid start and bids fair to
grow with each succeeding session.

CHAPTER VII.

Her wedding day. 1t seemed very
mockery that the sun shone as it had new
err shone before; that the golden light
beamed dom in shining floods; that the
blue sky had no clouds. The dew lay
shining on the grass and leaves, the white
lilies had opened their golden cups, the red
roses were all awake. Had there been
any love in the marriage this would have
been the very day for it, but Lady Hilda
rose heavy at heart, miserable beyond
words, longing for even death to end the
miserable fever she called life.
Even in her own room she could near
the kind of happy confusion that reigned
in that usually well-ordered mansion-she
had no part in it. She stood for some time
at the window watching the CLEANS of
golden light, the bright-winged butterflies
the pretty bees-everything in creation
seemed happy except herself.

thought. 81 have heard my fate. | am

the weary, tired eyes; surely her young
M. tress ought to smile on this her we'd
ding day. She spread out the rich, glls-
tening folds of satin, the lovely lace, the
veil that was fine as gossamer, and Lady
Hilda turned away with tears i'll her eyes:
Then her ladyship came in and laid
down pretty morocco case, and opening
if showed Lady Hilda very beautiful
bracelet. She was so unusually gracious
that Lady Hilda hardly recognized her.

The Japanese apply one of their
many pretty ways to the launching of
ships. They use no wine. They hang
over the ships Prov a large PASTE

string, when the cage opens, and the
birds fly away, making the air alive
with music and the whirr of wings.
The idea is that the birds thus welcome
the ship as she begins her career as a
