satin. In this, fitting her graceful
rounded form to perfection, she
scarcely knew herself as she glanced
in the mirror.
Her glorious golden hair was
gathered in one great knot at the
back of her head, her delicate throat
and neck rose from the soft lace
like marble in their purity. She
drew on pair of long, white gloves,
and then prepared to descend, when
a tap came to the door and footman
stood disclosed bearing a case and a
message from the Dowager Laday
Darrell, begging her sons wife to
don the Darrell diamonds tonight
and to keep them in the future.
AL ce waited till the man had gone,
tlen hesitated.
Should she wear these gems?
What right had she, the low-born
girl, to put them on-jewe1s that a
race of patrician woman had worn
for years?
Davis unlocked the case, and drew
out the glittering ornaments with
slight shrieks of admiration.
ooh, my lady, you must put them
on!" she cried excitedly.
Alice hesitated no longer.
She was the earl's wife and true
mistress of all he owned.
A something thrilled through her
as the maid clasped the magnificent
necklace round her throat-a feel
ing that the maids words had been
true-that she had the right to wear
CID honored jewels, not as his wife
only, but through her birth.
Davis placed the diadem on the
wavy golden locks, c1asped the gleam-
ing bracelets on the rounded arms
then stood and looked at her mis-
tress in silence.
She could find no words to ex-
press her admiration, and, after a
brief glance at her own reflection,
Alice dismissed the good-natured
woman and remained alone.
She stood for many minutes, gath
ering UP all her courage, for she felt
she should need it; then opening her
door, she walked down the corridor,
looking. in her trailing white robes
and glistening jewels, indeed very
queen of majesty and beauty.
At the top of the great staircase
A lice felt that someone was near
her. and, turning. saw Count Jura,
his eyes burning with the passion
she had inspired in his heart.
''You are divine superb" he muir
INJURED. 'These old halls have seen
no one to compare with you, my
Lady Darrell"
Alice smiled family. She did not
understand the true meaning of his
eyes, yet she had nervous dread of
this man, and felt he was dangerous.
'You are flattering me, Count
Jura," she answered little co1dly.

The earl gazed at his young wife
in stern amazement. 1Ier lovely face
was set d cold, her figure was
drawn up to it's full height, defiance
was in every graceful line of it.

to herself; aloud she said slowly;

Roy could not repress feeling Of
genuine admiration at her proud
courage; but the next instant it died
away and he only remembered her as
the bar to all his happiness.

drawing-room at seven this evening, !"
he said coldly. I'VE must stand to-
gether and receive the people,
Then with low bow he turned
away, and Alice was alone once more.
Her face burned with shame and
pain.
Would he never treat her with
aught but contempt?
His presence brought her such IN
agony of humiliation as almost to
Danish the thrill OF gladness that,
dc what she could would steal into
her heart when near him.
Yes, now more than ever she was
determined it must end.
She would seek another life, and
perhaps in the future have content
ment and peace, if not happiness.
Davis came IN after while, and
was full of the preparations for the
grand dinner that were in progress.
''AIl the grand folk for miles round
are coming, my lady," she declared.
Lady Darrell sent messengers on
horseback to all the houses, and
they were delighted to come. You
see there's been so much excitement
about the castle lately. First poor
Captain Rivers being murdered, and
then the earl marrying, and of
course all the folk want to see what
his bride is like, as of course

gently, as the woman stopped, cover
ed with confusion, "they want to see
how Farmer Browns niece plays the
countess. 1t is natural"
ooh, my lady, forgive me, but I
can't help it. You amt anything
but a countess, I'll swear. There
must be some mistake about it.
You amt like farmerfolk are; you
are lady born-I am sure on it
we all say So"
Alice's face flushed.
"a lady born!" she said to herself.

I might be his equal, what happiness
it would be! No, Davis she an

Obituary.

Lloyd Blocker passed through the
valley of the shadows to the great up-
known beyond deaths portals Monday,
Sept. 12th, 1893. The immediate cause
of death wa cancer Of the stomach
tho ugh he was a sufferer from Brights
disease.
Deceased was born in Grantsville, Nd,
Nov. Goth, 1875. Came west to Fillmore,
Co., Mimi, in 1878, and to Day County in
1882. Was one of the earliest settlers of
Webster. Was united in marriage a few
years later to Miss Mary Barber, shortly
after marriage they moved onto the farm
which has since been the family home
stead. Mr.. Blocker came here with
little in the way of worldly possession,
but was rich In force of character,
energy, honesty end upright manhood.
With a firm determination to acquire a
comfortable home In which to enjoy his
decliniAg years, he went to work with a
will, by dint of hard work, economy and
good management vas successful-a
few years more would have accomplished
the desired end. But with the goal in
sight he was called, by "Him who doeth
all things WE'LL" to give up the care,
trials and tribulations of life and take
his place with the hosts beyond the
silent river.
Lloyd Blocker was a man of ire
proachable character, sober and indus
trious, an ideal citizen, a good neighbor
and a kind affecIionate father and low
ing husband, truly M of natures noble
men-what wonder he is mourned. A
wife, three infant daughters, two sisters,
three brothers and his father survive
him.
The funeral occurred from the Con-
gregational church Monday. Webster

member, attending in a body. A dis
course, which was a beautiful tribute to
the life and character of the deceased,
full of hope ard consolation for the
stricken ones was delivered by Rev.
Hubbard. The remains were followed
to the last resting place by a large on
course of friends and brethren.
