THE PRICE OF VANITY.
BY II. 4. GRAVES.

In an exquisite boudoir Cecile Chct-
wynde was sitting. one stormy winter
night, languidly watching her rich
cousins toilet.
II was just such place and scene as
Cecile loved; yet she was Only here on
sutTennce-a poor relation, tolerated
with sort OF grudging hospitality.
And Mrs. Framley, her wealthy cous-
in, was short. vulgar-looking woman
cross, ill-bred, ill-tempered and gaudi-
ly arrayed in ruby velvet.
How strangely things are ortleredi"
Cecile could not help saying TO herself.
as she caught n reflection of her own
cameo-lilIe profile and aristocratic fir-
ure in an opposite mirror. IL shouil

"Ilow do you like the red camelias in

The trim little French maid trippcu
airily to the jewel .caskct TO get out the
great crimson rubies, that flashed In

Cecile. leaning back IN her shelI-shaped
chair. thought secretly that her Cousin
Barbara would look like scarlet
flamingo in her rintensely-co!orcd viewer
and jewels, and complexion TO match.
And so Mrs. Framley rolled away to
the ball i'm her softly-cushioned cav,
ria~e. well content with herself. and
Cecile started out OF her reverie.

LiBzRrY, Mo-, Nov. l7.-WilliAm
Carr, the murderer Of his three.year.
old daughter Belle, will be hanged on
Friday, December II. This sentence
was pronounced to-day by Judge E. ].
Broaddus. The murderer stood in
front Of the bar with his head resting
on his hands, and his face was deathly
white during the passing Of the sen.
tence. He said nothing and showed
no visible signs Of emotion. He
accepted the sentence very much
like one in stupor. And as
Carr was led back to his cell, which
will be his home for the few remain.
ing days he will spend on earth, there
were no expressions Of sympathy heard
from the hundreds Of people who had
packed the court room. The verdict
was popular one, and Judge Broad
dus' remarks to Carr precluded the
possibility Of any sympathy which
might have been felt for the condemned
murderer.
