CHAPTER XXIV.-(Continued.)
"That girl is as proud as Juno" said
the earl, for want of a better COMPARE
son.
"She has every right to be proud
Uric" remarked Sir Raoul. She Is
without her equal for goodness and
beauty"
She seems to think I shall kill her
II l touch her." said the earl, bitterly.
"She would rather lose the costliest
Jewel we have than touch my hand to
lay it in 1t safely
Sir Raoul made no reply.
Meanwhile the artist has made great
progress with his picture. 1t was a
work of love with him. He came to
Halby House at times, and sometimes,
when Sir Raoul felt we'll enough to es-
cort the countess they went to the stu
do. How it seemed to grow under
his brush, that fair face-fair, pure
original so exquisite in color, so dain-
ty in bloom When the painting was
finished there was but one opinion
the portrait was simply a masterpiece
Of art, with its delicate beauty and rich
Soloring.
But everyone made the same remark
the face was so sad. the dark
Swallowed eyes did not look as though
they had ever smiled, they were so full
of strange. sad dreams; the beautiful
Alps were sad, and looked as though
they had never laughed in girlish FASH
ion.
The portrait was hung up in the
drawing room. 1t did not remain there
long; the earl did not like to hear the
comments upon it. One morning ne
said to Sir Raoul:
"This portrait of Hildred's is consid'
cred a very fine picture; l think
should like it hung in the picture gal
Iery at the CASTLE"
"Side by side with all the dead-and'
gone Ladies Caraven?" replied Sli
Raoul. II do not blame you. To me
there appears to be a quiet reproacn
In the face which is not pleasant to
.see."
There is no cause for reproach,
said the earl. "You seem to think tha'
4 deceived Hildred, Raoul. From hrs'
ito last there has been no mention Of
love between us. 1t was a case Of
money versus title. We both have
what we wanted; therefore, no more
need be said"
Sir Raoul, being wise man, said nc
more just then.

The achievement is only evidence OF
what electricians of the navy, of both
England and the United States. have
long held to be possible. They have
declared that there was no reason why
communication of this sort should not
be established between ships a few
hundred feet apart, If the weather were
at all pleasant OF course, in a gale
II would be impracticable.
The experiment that was made by
the officers of the Daring and the
Dauntless had another valuable result
It showed that it is possible to ar
range for new system Of signals from
one ship to another that would be
greatly superior to any flag system
which could be conceived. II the tele-
phone wire can be arranged In this
manner, there is no reason why tele-
graphic communication can not pe
made in a similar fashion. In this
case an operator aboard the flagship
could carry on a conversation with hls
fellow-operator aboard one of the fleet
without difficulty. The admiraPs Or
ders could be easily transmitted from
time to time, and often avoid what Is
now considered necessary boat service.
Il might be thought that the flying OF
q kite under these circumstances woulo
be a matter of extreme difficulty. but
kite flying under the latest methods
has become science. What used to
he a schoolboy's sport has now become
a subject of study by professional mer,
snd 4 seems quite likely that before
LONG even greater results will be OBJ
tame dthan has ever been the case at
Portsmouth.
AS a means of signaling, the kite Is
firmly believed, not only by naval off,
GERS, but those of the army. to be
fraught with great Importance when
the future is considered. 1t Is, OF
course, very much easier for signal
to be seen that Is elevated to con-

A pamphlet entitled Facts About
Smallpox and Vaccination" has been
issued by the council of the British
Medical association, giving statistics
as to the efficacy of vaccination and
showing what the diminution Of NOR
tality has been since the time Of Jen-
Ter. Facts are quoted from the stalls
tics also Of other countries, as, for In
stance,' of Prussia, where rigidly en-
forced, and systematic vaccination han
practically stamped out smallpox, the
mortality, being seven per a,o00,0o0,
whereas in the adjoining country Of
Austria, where vacGinatiox.is not com
pulsory, It Is over 450.

magnificent. The Ravensmere WOODS
stretched out far and wide; antlered
deer reclined in the shade of them.
They were woods always full OF music
where bluebells grew with the red fox
glove and wild hyacinths, where starry
primroses grew at the roots of the
trees, and cowslips hid their sweet yell
low heads-a home for the ferns-one
of the loveliest of all the lovely hooks
in England.
The interior of the castle was just as
attractive. Covers and wrappers had
been removed and everything restored
TO its proper order, for the earl and
countess were expected home with a
large party Of guests.
The home coming had not been a

Smokoless Fires.

The Berlin correspondent Of the
London Times has given some partic-
ulars of new invention by one Carl
Wegener, which has for its object the
elimination of smoke from furnace,
accompanied by notable saving in
the consumption Of coal. The success
of the system depends upon feeding
the furnace with powdered coal, in
stead of the "well-screened" Jumps
which hitherto have been regarded as
the most advantageous form Of such

vens generous heart was touched as
she looked at her, she was SO thin. SO
worn, with a face so white and so sad,
and great despairing eyes; her clothes
were a thin, shabby dress, and still
thinner and shabbier shawl. AS the
young countess stood before her in the
pride OF her youth and beauty, amid
all the luxury of her surroundings, she
felt, in some vague way, ashamed OF
the contrast.
"Did you want me?" she said, In a
low. gentle voice. II am Lady Cara
ven. Did you wish to see met"
The thin, worn hands were clasped
tightly. The woman hardly seemed to
have the power OF speech.
do not be afraid" said the young
countess; tell me what you want"
"Oh, my lady, my lady" was the cry
that seemed to come from a break
ing heart, will you take pity on
me?"
81 will, indeed, II I can. II / can
help you, I promise that will. What
is the matter? You must not fear to
tell me. can understand the sorrows
of others, and feel for them"
The woman looked up into the kind
ly, beautiful face.
81 hardly know how to tell you, my
lady. 1t is not the earls fault. None
of us blame him; he does not know 1t.
1t is all Mr.. Blantyre's doing"
"But what is it," she asked, gently.
"You forget that l do not know"
my lady, it is this: My husband-a
fine, strong, handsome young man
was killed here in the woods two years
ago; he was keeper, and there was a
fight with the poachers-my husband
John Woodruff, was killed. He was a
fine, handsome young man, and we had
three little children. was fetched to
him after he was hurt. He had been
struck with the butt end of gun, ana

lola AND VOLTAIRE.
I.atter's Defense of Lally Recalled By
Formers Trial.

u.atter's Defense of Lally Recalled ~
Formers Trial.
History has a strange way OF repeat
ing itself in human actions. The trial
Of lola in Paris for openly declaring
the innocence of Captain Dreyfus re-
calls a similar part played by Voltaire
more than 100 years ago, when he de-
Tended the honor of another French
soldier, Count Lally. Lally had failed
TO save India from the English, had
been taken prisoner, and had, with true
magnanimity, begged his captors to
allow him to go to Paris to answer the
charges that had been made against
him. His request having been granted
he voluntarily placed himself on trial.
But his countrymen, Infatuated at the
loss of their possessions in India and
Canada. were in no mood to treat him
with impartiality, and after proceed
ings which were tainted with fragrant
Illegally, Lally was condemned to
death by the Parliament of Paris on
the vague charge of abuse Of authority,
exaction and extortion. Voltaire, VINO
was always ready to espouse the cause
of the victims of injustice and oppres-
sion, helped the murdered mans son,
known in the days of the revolution as
Lally Tollendal, to clear his fathers
name. With unrelenting perseverance
he went to work to procure revision
of the proceedings Of Count Lally's
trial and one of the browning triumphs
of his life was the news, brought to him
on his death bed, that his untiring eff
forts in the cause of justice had been
crowned with success. Strangely
enough, Voltaire also exerted himself
in trying to save man condemned by
our own government Of the time. The
execution of Admiral Byng was a par
allel in the history of England to the
death of Lally in French history. Vol
taire. who had known Byng when In
England, did his utmost to save the
unfortunate admiral. He obtained from
Richelieu, who had been Byng's op-
moment at Minorca, a letter setting
forth the formers conviction Of his de-
feated enemy's courage and good sea-
manship. This document Voltaire for
warded to England, and, though 1t IVES
not entirely successful, he afterward
claimed that it turned four votes at the
court martial.

fuel. The coal dust is fed into the fire
from a container in front by means of
a tube which terminates in revolv-
ing sieve. This sieve is kept in mo-
ton by the draught, and has the ef-
feet of scattering the fuel over the fur
mace in such way that II is at once
inflamed without smoke and with very
little ash. Coal of comparatively low
quality can be economically used in
this powdered form, and the only
drawback to the process seems to be
the necessity for using separate ma
chine for the grinding of the coal to
powder. On the other hand, the slack
or dust which forms necessary by
product of the coal industry will find
here field for employment which will
be much appreciated by owners Of
mines and merchants generally.

In Spain the people take no note of
time, not even from its loss. Every
thing is to be done manana, tomorrow.
A wealthy Englishman, who had long
lived in Spain, had lawsuit. He
pleaded his cause in person, and know
ing the customs Of the country, won
his case. The victory cost him three
days of trouble and expense, so that
when the judge congratulated him on
his success, he replied: Eyes, that's
all right; but 1t has cost me three days,
and time 10 money. am busy man,
and these three days are lost forever"
ooh, you English" answered the
Judge; you are always saying that
time is money. How are you to get
your three days back? will tell you.
Take them out Of next week; surely
there are plenty more days to come!%

tics after the election of Major McKins
ley in 1895 He had announced early
in the summer of that year that his
sole object ss politician was to elect
his friend to the presidency Of the
United States. He had no ambitions
ot his own and no taste for politicat
career Had he adhered to his deters
mination-had he retired to private
life after the presidential electi6n-
people might still have condemned the
methods which be introduced into
American politics, but they could nev.
er have questioned his disinterested-
ness and the strength of his ffienaship
for Mr. Mckinley. When Mr.. Hanna
began to push his own ambitions, how.
ever, be at once lost his reputation as
an altrrist ana decended to the level
of the ordinary selfsseeking Politician
