CHAPTER U-Continued.

One hour wentsby-two. The supper
bell rang, but Beatrice never left ner
task. She was writing now. A singu-
lar feature of chirography, hers, 1t
seems. for she wrote with coarse pen,
in a bold, masculine hand, and then
with fire one In delicate Italian
characters.
She manipulated the two letters, so
dissimilar in appearance, folded them,
placed them in an envelope, carefully
added the superscriptions, and then,
stamping the envelopes, put on her
cloak and hat and stole from her room.
Down the dark hall, through the front
portals, out into the road, and town
wards she Sped At the village post
Office she paused to drop the letter into
the box there, and a faint CLEAN OF a
lamp near by showed the address
plainly-"Mr. Raymond Marshall.
"Donel" she murmured, breathlessly,
as she hurried homewards. ~Circum-
stances, accident, all are In my favor.
j could not have endured the condolences
that broke my heart, much longer.
Edna will never write, her fathers let
ter tells me why. She will never see
her old friends again. Raymond Mar
shall will forget her In time-I Will be
his friend, his consider, and then"
The dark eyes glistened, the fair face
was sentient with vivid emotion. Thenl
All! balm for the hungry heart, love for
the starved soul, peace for the self-tor-
ture, for word and feature betrayed the
secret of a woman who could suffer,
conceal, and plot as we'll, to consum-
mate the hopes dictated by hatred, jeal-
ousy and love!

It has happened, not infrequently,
that wealthy people Of eccentric char
scter have chosen to conceal q portion
of their money in the family Bible,
where it has been discovered by
chance long after their decease.
A yoang noblemen, who was in finan-
cial difficulties some time since, had
occasion to refer to the family Bible
for q date there recorded. In 30 doing
he came across number Of Bank Of
England notes, amounting, collectively,
to q considerable sum, which mole
than met his liabilities. Then he re.
called his mothers dying words that
sshelp might be found in the Bible
when all other sources failed." But
he had paid small heed to the injunc'
ton and certainly never dreamed o.
so practical fulfillment Of the words
referred to.
a needy student purchased an inter
esting old Bible at secondhand
booksellers some years ago and
was delighted to discover banknotes {,
the value Of $1,000 folded between thl
sacred pages.

London,s Dog Cemetery.

London has many queer features,
but perhaps the queerest OF all IS this,
a cemetery for dogs.
In little piece of ground, fenced in
by beautiful shrubbery. lie the re-
mains of about 200 pet dogs, whose
graves are carefully looked after by an
attendant.
There are only four more burial
lots to dispose of in the cemetery but
it must be remembered that this sacred
precinct is intended to be the resting
place only of dogs whose owners in-
tend, and can afford, to keep their
graves in good order. Mr.. Binbridge
makes quite little income by his care
of the cemetery, as the owners OF the
graves pay him for putting out the
plants, wedding the lots, keeping the
walks neat, and assisting them when
ever they require any little service.
Indeed. the neatness and beauty OF
the place attest the affection OF the
owners and faithfulness of the guard
ian.
Mr.. Binbridge keeps this spot ''like
The apple of his eye" and no ono can
enter the little gate without his per-
mission. He is both undertaken and
sexton, and buries all the dogs him
self. A few are put in plain wooden
collins, but the usual wsy is to sew
them in canvas bags end then put
them in the ground.
Here are some of the inscriptions
on the headstones over the graves:

PtARLs OF THOUGHT.

II you lack wisdom, love 10 often
wiser than wisdom.
More people fail from discourage
ment than from real misfortune.
Human experience, like the stern
lights Of ship ct sea, illumines only
the path we have passed over.
Men are so constituted that every
body undertakes what he sees another
successful in, whether he has aptitude
for it or not.
To pronounce a man happy merely
because he is rich is just as absurd as
to call man healthy, because he has
enough to eat.
To rejoice in another's prosperity is
to give content to your own lot; to
mitigate another's grief is to alleviate
or dispel your own.
When thou wouldst help another,
study to please, not myself, in the
doing. but him thou servest. Sc
shalt thou be unselfsh indeed.
Pluck out of suffering the glory that
is shut up in it and may it be said Of
each one of you, Because Of the JOY
set before him he endureth the cross. :
.Love never dieth." We learn THU
as a promise. We get, after suct
suffering as involves as it were new
birth and other faculties, to know 1t a
experience.
Aim at perfection in everything,
though in most things it is unattain
able however, they who aim at it.
and persevere, will come much nearer
to it than those whose laziness and
dependency make them give 1t up a
unattainable.
It is supremacy, not. precedence
that we ask for the Bible 1t is con
trast, as well as resemblance, that w
must feel compelled to insist on. Tn
Bible is stamped with speciality O
origin, and an unreasonable distanc'
separates it from all competitors.
The perception of the comic is a ii
of sympathy with other men, pledg
of sanity and protection from thos
perverse tendencies and gloomy insan
tiles in which fine intellects sometime
lose themselves. A rogue alive to til
ridiculous is still convertible. IT tina
sense is lost his fellowmen can d
little for him.

Condensed Delicacies.

Condensed jellies are becoming an
important commercial article. They
are made in the shape OF little bricks,
each Weighing eight ounces, and with an
inside wrapper of oiled paper. Accord
ing to the directions, the brick Is to be
put into one pint of boiling water and
stirred until it is dissolved. The mix
ture is then poured into mold or
other vessel and put in cool place. In
a few hours the jelly Is set and ready
to use, pint and half OF 1t. 1t never
fails to fell. which point is the cause
of so much anxiety to amateur jelly
makers. The bricks are favored with
various fruits, currant, raspberry, grape,
ETC., and some are of pure calves foot
Jelly, to which wine may be added for
wine jelly, preferably Sicily madeira.
Fifteen cents brick is the retail price.
Concentrated ice-cream is put up in tin
cans Of eight ounces each. The con-
tents of can are to be put in three
pints OF boiling milk, stirred well, per-
mitted to cool, and then frozen, produce
ing two quarts of ice cream. Condensed
desserts are prepared and sold IN cans
similarly, such as blanc mange.

The wet guncotton, in the process OF
pressing in its manufacture at the
United States torpedo station, is sub
jected to a pressure of about $500
pounds to the square inch, and the
pressure has been carried to 10, 600
pounds without causing explosion.
Dry, loose guncotton burns with q
flash, but without explosion; wet COM
pressed guncotton will not burn until
the moisture is dried out of it. In the
torpedo station experiments q ton OF
wet guncotton has been placed in
bonfire, where it slowly burned away
without explosion.
