The blowing up OF the original acety.
lsne factory at Wabash. Indiana by an
explosion, has called general attention
TO the destructive properties OF that
lighting fluid when used to generate gas
for burning. Acetylene gas is q CON-
paratively nov product and is made
from calcium carbide. a new chemical
combination. The carbide is produced
by taking common lime and coal and
sUtyscting them to Il temperature Of
about 5000 degrees. The product is the
base from which the gas is made, the
only addition necessary being water, for
which the carbide has a strong affinity.
As the water is added the gas rises, and
without other addition or treatment is
at once tit for use. The most conepicu.
Gus use Of ecetylene is just now in
blcyc Gle lamps.

though of course she owned bitterly to
herself that it was true. She was abso-
lutely ignorant of everything which
Bernard Selwyn's wife should know.
She paused against stile leading into
a cornfield, and sat down a minute to
rest, for she had walked couple OF
miles at a very rapid rate. AS she
sat. she heard the galloping of horses
behind her on the road, and the sound
of laughter and voices. Urged by an
impulse she hardly understood, she
climbed over the stile, and paused on
the other side. hidden by the hedge,
to see the riders go by. Just as they
reached that part of the road they
slackened to foot-pave, and she could
both see and hear distinctly. There
were three young men and two girls,
all well mounted and in high spirits.
They were all looking behind them.
mo sign of them!" cried one of the
ladies.
My dear Miss Talbot, you won't see
them again this morning; they are off
as usual. Perhaps Lady Mildred is
showing him the short cut to the
Home Farm again." There was evil
IDENTIFY joke here. They all burst out
laughing.
"Selwyn is awfully hard hit, isn't
he?" said one of the men.
1T will be fine thing for the UNI
fraville estates" remarked another.
and then the voices became indistinct
as the party passed on down the lane.
Marguerite stood still. OF course she
had known it all before, but it seemed
Notwithstanding to come upon her
with sudden shock. She bowed her
head on the stile, and gave way to her
trouble for a time. She dI. not know
how long she stood there; she only
knew that what reused her was the
sound of more horses feet. She start
ed and shivered, but 1t was too late to
move. Holding on by the rough wood
for support, she saw them ride slowly
past-saw Lady Mildred pale, proud
face, noted the downward curve of her
expressive mouth, saw Bernard riding
close-ah, so close!-but could not
catch the low words that he was
speaking. So they passed, and 1t
seemed to Marguerite as If the life and
gladness of the sunny day passed with
them. She waited till the last echo
of horses feet had died away in the
distance, and then climbed resolutely
back into the lane and continued her
journey. She did not care for twenty
Daniel Brandons now. Nothing, she
thought, could ever stir her emotions
again-love and fear were dead to-
getheT.

CHAPTER XIV.

1t was a beautiful autumn day. The
Virginia creeper on the little wayside
station of Great Woodenham, mass
of scarlet and gold, rustled every now
and then in the light breeze. The
distances melted in blue mist; the dew
still lay in heavy beads on the long
grass of the banks and bitches, as Mar
guerite stepped from the London train
and looked about her with wondering,
observant eyes.
She formed very fair picture as she
stood there, in neat, we1l-fitting gray
morning dress, and white straw sailor
hat trimmed with a knot of white rib
bons. Even the solitary porter forgot
himself in admiration Of her pretty
face and charming figure. Marguerite
did not see him; she was gazing at
the board on which the name of the
station was painted in large black let
let's.
Great Woodenham-for High Lees
and Clarisdale." She had not grasped
the fact that she was coming SO near
to Clarisdale. Why, she was within
a few miles of Bernard, and of her le-
gal adviser, Mr.. Martineau! Suppose
she were to meet them! Her cheeks
burned at the thought. Turning, she
