At this moment colored woman brought
a note and handed it to Louie.
The girl read it, flushed angrily, bit her
lip. and after moments pause said shortly
Tell him will come"
She stood a moment after the woman had
gene. Evidently an inward struggle was
going on in her heart.
Then. without word. she turned and left
the room. and Kitty heard her descend the
stairs to meet the visitor below.
Poor young lady! She's very strange, isn't
she?" said Jenkins.
Very" said Kitty. "She seems unhappy,
doesn't she?"
We'll, Of course, that proves she's bit
queer" rejoined the woman. What could
a young lady want more than she has?
Clothes and money, horses to ride, and every
thing she could wish for!"
jenkins detained in this style for some
time but Kitty did not listen. She was grow
ing very tired Of the one room. and after
little while, when Jenkins had gone away
again, she determined to descend and stroll
into the compound. She felt much stronger
now, and longed for breath Of fresh air.
She went down stairs and crossed the hall
without seeing anyone, but at the outer door

Will you let me pass, please?' Kitty said,
quietly.

cool answer.

The gentleman turned, disclosing a young
and handsome face, and he stared somewhat
insolently with bold eyes at the girl.

naughty answer.

Disdaining to exchange another word with

Lord Houlden to his captive sweetheart.
'Oh, thank you! You are a darllng!" cried
Lynette, warmly, her cheeks flushing and her
eyes filling with grateful tears.

Kitty, kissing her new friend, gaily adding,
after pause, there's nobody coming. Let's

well, never mind, as she isn't here. Who
is that horrible man doWnStairs?
That's Reginald Fairlove, Lord Houlden's
nephew and prospective heir said Lynette,
Mrs Nettleship's known peculiarities, in
duced her to have seized and carried
away, so that I could not marry his uncle"
But she must be raving mad!''
mo, she is sane enough on every other
point; but 1 believe she suffered terribly in
her married life, and she has a fixed idea of
soaring girls from marriage. Fairlove found
this out. and worked upon till he made her
believe that she would be saving me a life
of misery if she prevented my wedding. They

II cannot be happy. Reginald Fairlove pre-

ever we are alone he urges me to marry him.
You see, he has constant fear of my eScap-
ing, in which case he would be ruined and
he thinks if he married me his uncle, Lord
Houlden, would leave US his wealth, through
love of me-
what vile plot!'' cried Kitty, indignant
ly. But We'll beat them yet, you see if we
don't"
Wed better separate now. Mrs Nettle-
ship is very cunning, and the chief thing is
to keep her in ignorance of our good under
standing.
Yes of course. I think
At this moment Mrs Netteship rang her
hand bell, and to the girls horror Jenkins
walked coolly out from behind the portiere
that concealed the inner room.

long have you been there?"

we re lucky. I've arranged everything.
While she talked the woman had been
deftly dressing Kitty arranging her hair
like Lynette's, touching her face up with a
little brush and some powder in wonderful
way and adjoining her in Lynette's things,
then tying thick veil over her face. When
Kitty looked in the glass she quite started,
she was so changed
Il shouldn't know the difference myself"
she said.
mo, nor she won't if you keep it up"
whispered jenkins, excitedly. BE quick! Go
in Miss Lynette's room! Remember, we're
ruined if you let her suspect anything"
Don't be afraid of me- returned Kitty,
and hastily entered Lynettes room
The girl was standing there as white as
sheet, making feint of putting on her stays.
When Kitty entered Lynette gave her one
quick embrace, and then hid herself behind
a curtain.
Not an instant too soon, for Mrs. Nettle-
ship pushed open the door,
Come along, love; here is Mrs. Maude.''
Kitty followed her downstairs. Mr.. Fair
love was in waiting, and handed them into
the carriage. He to accompany them
on horseback.
They were out for two or three hours, and
during the whole of that time not the faint
est suspicion was entertained by anyone that
it was not Lynette sitting there. When at
last they reached home, Mr.. Fairlove entered
with them.
A native who was sitting near the door
suddenly rose, salaamed to Mr.. Fairlove and
began to talk rapidly to him in his own lam
guage.
The ladies went on into the drawing groom
but in an instant or two Reginald Fairlove
followed them.
BY Jove! that womans sold us!'' he
calculated, angrily. "There is a fellow here
who tells me Jenkins has run off with that
girl you had here. They're on their way to
iEngland-just I'd found out VINO she was,

"Jenkins!" cried Mrs. Nettleship aghast
Yes You'll have to move at once Of
course that girl will carry tales. 1 shouldn't
wonder if you knew all about it," he added
turning savagely upon Kitty.
Don't stand talking; do something said
Mrs. Nettleship, quickly. 1T isn't too late,
surely!
'oh, yes, it is! Hours too late! They've
sailed on the Ocean Fairy
Were you in the plot?' asked Mrs. Net
tleship, reproachfuly, of Kitty.
Yes, was! cried Kitty, pulling off her
veil and speaking defiantly land I'm very

Lynette and Jenkins arrived safely in Lon
don, and, only stopping at an hotel to make
herself tidy" Lynette said-which, be-
ing interpreted, meant few new things in
which to appear before Lord Houlden-and
to post letter which Kitty had entrusted to
her, they drove straight to his lordship's town
house
Yes, his lordship was at home, and they
were admitted
Il wish to see his lordship alone" Lynette
said.
Yes, miss. What name?"
L don't wish to give my name.''
The man looked a little dubious, but went
away, and presently returned to ask her to
follow him.
Lynette did so with a trembling step. She
wore a thick veil, and was thankful to find
that the. room was rather dark.
Lord Houlden came forward courteously to
receive her, and she him start as his
eye fell upon her figure.
Il have come with a message she said,
falteringly, FROM
She got no farther. He was not to be de-
ceived. The next instant she was in his arms
and he was covering her with kisses, and
murmuring inarticulate words of love and
blessing
You thought to deceive me with thick
veil. oh, Lynette, I should know you any
where and any how. My love, my daring!''
And then. as a sudden horrible thought
came to him, he held her away, saying in
agitation, You have come back free? You
are mine?"
"Oh, yes-yes, Geoffrey-my dear!"
My beloved, this is paradise!'
And then there a long and happy ST.
lence. After awhile they were able to talk
more freely; and Lynette told him the whole
of the plot she had been able to gather it.
telling him how Reginald had urged her to
marry him, and threatened her. when she
refused to see him, with tales of what Lord
Houlden should hear Of her.
Lord Houdens indignation against his
nephew knew no bounds, and truth to tell,
Lynette made no attempt at cooling his
wrath.
I must go home,' Lynette said, at last,
looking up in her lovers face with a happy
little sigh. Poor father and mother."
'"They have been unhappy. 1t has been a
terrible mystery to us all; but you shall go
at once and make them all happy. Not for
long, however, he added. las soon the
law can join us, will never part again,
my love, my Lynette!"
They left the room and passed out into the
hall, and there a servant respectfully accost-
ed Lord Houlden, and spoke a few words in
a low tone which Lynette did not catch
Lord Houlden nodded, and reopening the
door of the room they had just left, nlotioned
Lynette to enter.

ling? 1t seems there is someone waiting to
see me-a poor fellow who lost his wife in

Lynette whispered. I'VE have no chance

understand the deaf and dumb alphabet?"
Yes. Do your
yes. We could manage to talk in that
way. We must be patient and cautious
Yes, yes. I can be patient now, for 1 have
some hope" and Lynette smiled radiantly.
Then the two separated and saw no more
of one another that day.
Late that night when Kitty was just about
to put out her light. Jenkins tapped at her
door and entered. The woman shut the door
carefully behind her, and came and spoke
in rapid whisper.
Il heard all you said this afternoon. Is it
that they took her away?"
Perfectly true. She was engaged to Lord
Houlden, who is very rich,'' said Kitty, en-
phatically; land would pay well to get her
back
''Wculd he?" asked Jenkins, quickly. Are
you sure?''
I'm certain of it. Oh, Jenkins, if you
would help her to get away you would never
regret it. Lord Hculden would give Won
thousand pounds
"a thousand pounds!" cried Jenkins, with
gl.ttering eyes. "Oh, miss, I'll do it! I'm
sick of India. I want to be back in England,
lady, that I am. I'd no idea that she was
wrong in her head; the missus told me So
I'll get her away, but I'm afraid you'll have
to stay
81 don't mind that if you'll help her. Have
you any money!"
Enough to pay our passage, if I can be
sure Of being paid on the other side"
you can be certain Of that" said Kitty
emphatcaly. 81 know Lord Houlden well.
and I'm sure he will willingly give you
thousand pounds"
What I thought of was this said Jen-
kins, hurriedly. You and Miss Randall are
much of a size and height. I'll get leave to
walk with you in the compound. When
everyone's used to seeing us go out, her and
me IL slip out some time instead of you, and
We'll be off and down to the ship before

you tell Mrs Brown"
mot word-of truth. I told Miss Louie

Very we'll; I'll perform my part. You'd

The plot was carried out to the letter.
Kitty feigned to be worse, and jenkins easily
obtained leave from her mistress to walk
with the invalid in the compound.
At first they were jealousy watched, es-
pecially by Mr.. Fairlove, who was contin-
Mrs. Nettleship had Lynette constantly un-
der her eye, vigilance gradually relaxed, and
the daily walks became a matter of course.
At last one afternoon Jenkins came softly
into Kitty's room with an armfu of clothes,
and declared that the time had come.
eff you'll just have courage, Miss Kitty,
she said, hurriedly. "Missus is going for a
long drive with friend and of course Miss
Louie goes too Here's some of her things.

EGG STORAGE EXPERIMENT.

An interesting experiment in egg
storage was recently tried at Leith. In
June batch of $4,000 Scotch, Irish and
Danish eggs were sealed up in stor-
age apparatus, and were opened and
examined four months afterward, and
only a small portion of the eggs was
found unfit for use. In this method the
eggs are kept cool and the air is al
lowed to have free access around each
egg, which is kept in an upright posi-
ton. The eggs are turned periodically,
so that the yolk of the egg is constant
ly embedded in albumen. This is ac-
complished by placing the eggs in
frames, which by the action of a lever
can be inclined in different directions
as needed. In this way 23,00 eggs can
be turned over in a minute without any
chance of breakage.
