CHAPTER XIV.

1t was a beautiful autumn day. The
Virginia creeper on the little wayslde
station of Great Woodenham, a 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, well-fitting gray
morning dress, and white straw sailor
hat trimmed with 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
beckoned to the admiring porter.
I'm which direction is Clarisdale
from here?" she asked.
about five miles west O. this, miss;
but there amt no village to speak Of
only Lord Umfraville's place"
"Oh-and which is the way to High
Lees?"
Right out the other way, miss
rather better n three mile, miss"
Does Mr.. Brandon still live there?"
Eyes, miss; but his house is two mile
good beyond the village. It's long
tramp. miss"
"Oh, / am a good walker! ] sup
pose, when get to the village, any
one would direct me to Mr.. Bran
don's?"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1899-10-12

oh, yes. miss"
Then will you tell me the nearest
way to the village?"
He gave the necessary direction. and
with bright Thank you," she startc /
off.
Marguerite walked on in a state OF
mind strangely divided between exhil-
aration and fear. The fresh. pure air.
the blue sky, the waving trees, and.
above all, the sense of enterprise and
daring, were delightful to her. But
presently, to her establishment, she
found that the old habitual terror of
her uncle was creeping over her. She
began to realize that it was scarcely
prudent to trust herself alone to the
tender mercies of the man who had
already adopted such measures to be
rid of her. She began to think that
she was foolhardy; but, being thus far
on the journey, nothing would have
induced her to turn back. She walk
ed on brlskly, secure in the thought
that every step was taking her farther
from Clarisdale. and that there really
was no chance of her being seen. AZ
to Mr.. Brandon, she did not want To
see him; she wanted to see Cathie: and
her remembrance of the back entrance
to the house was so vivid that she felt
certain that she could accomplish her
object. Anyhow, she was in for it
the issue must be left to fate.
She felt the longing for certainty
greater than ever. Come what might.
she must ascertain who and what was
Arthur Phillips, and whether he was
living or dead. letter from Bernard
lay in her pocket-a letter full of Lady
Mildred.
This Is such an ideal house." he
wrote. Mine shall be managed just
the same. You should know Lady
Mildred-in fact. you must know her.
She could teach you so much, espe-
cially as regards dress-she under
stands the art to perfection: and, when
you see her. you must take hints:
though of course your style and hers
are very different" etc.
The letter hurt Marguerite's feelings.
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 a couple of
miles at 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 we'll 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 of
as usual. Perhaps Lady Mildred is
showing him the short cut to the
Home Farm againl" There was evil
IDENTIFY a 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 Um-
fraville estates" remarked another.

Russian sronastlc Institutions.

The very reason of their existence
was in different forms OF superstition,
of course, but the root idea of all was
retirement from society, in search of
some ideal life which society could fur
nish, and which they believed could be
attained by different forms of self-ab-
negatlon Poverty, chastity, obedience,
seclusion, perpetual alteration, study
and prayer, these were the ideals, but
the results of centuries showed the
frailty of human nature. Poverty gave
way to an itching palm and disregard
to the rights of others, as exemplified
by the idea that the world owed them
living. Such severe asceticism also
led to all kinds of abuses, which ran
from the rawlings of a naked monk,
forever bearing a heavy chain (as in
the case OF Basil of Russia), to the
austerity of such idiots as Simeon, a
Syrian monk, who spent years on the
summit of a column sixty feet high

Plenty OF Time.

Years ago Joaquin Miller, Journey
ing on foot, was overtaken by coun-
tryman, who took him on his wagon
and gave him a long ride. Tired, at
length, of conversation, the poet took
a novel from his pocket and pored
over 1t long and silently. What are
you reading said the countryman.
"a novel of Bret Harte's," said Mr..
Miller, well, now, l don't see how
an immortal being wants to be vast
ing his time with such stuff" Are
you quite sure" said the poet, that
am an immortal being? "Of course
you are" IF that be the case" re-
sponded Miller, Il don't see why l
should be so very economical Of my
time"

1t Has Been Planted In the Black
Hills, and Is Being Nursed.
The recent tagging OF train by
Black Hills boy and the generous treat
ment accorded him by the passengers
and railroad officials have resulted in
inaugurating new industry among
the Black Hills boys. The other day
some passengers, when at a station
near where the tagging episode oc-
Cured, noticed bright-faced, ragged
urchin near the track. Hoping to get
sight of the boy who had created SO
much favorable comment by his action
a few days previously in tagging the
train and preventing what might have
been serious accident, some OF the
kind-hearted and worshiping pas
sengers asked the lad who he was.
He promptly replied: I'm de kid wot
tagged de keers t other day." With
out stopping to verify his claim, they
at once began tossing him nickels,
dimes and quarters. and the lad profit
ed by his deceit. Every urchin who
puts in his time at the depots in that
particular locality to see passing trains
is now 'the boy who tagged the train, :"
and unsuspecting passengers have am
pie opportunities to part with their
spare change.

To sterllize water by Means of Ozone.

To Sterilize Water by Means of Ozone
In communication to the Academic
DIES Sciences, NM. Mariner and Abra-
ham describe an experiment on an in
dustrial scale recently made at Lille,
France, for the sterilization of water
by means of ozone. The electrical
pressure used in the ozone generator
was 10000 volts, Hertz ozonizer be-
ing used. The generators were cooled
by water circulation, the water drop
ping into the circulating tubes to in
sure their insulation. Coming out OF
the generator, the ozone was led into
hollow masonry column, where it
encountered the water to be acted up
on. This had been filtered beforehand
to remove the grosser impurities in
suspension. After several months OF
operation the issuing water was an
alyzed by an expert commission OF
chemists and psychologists, who re-
ported as follows: "All the pathogenic
microbes in the water analysed by us
were entirely destroyed by the ozone
treatment. The treatment adds no ell
ement to the water prejudicial to the
health of those who use it, but, on the
contrary, by its. considerable diminu-
ton of the organic contents, makes the
water less subject to Interior pollu-
ton"
