1t is a dun winter when Bishop Potter
doesn't say something that is worth dis
putting. His observation, at a recent meet

New York. that the saloon is a social ne
cessity, has already called out denials and
discussion 1t has brought up the question
whether the chief attraction of the saloon
Is society or drink. Men who go to saloons

Church Temperance Society proposes to

Presently the door opened again, and
a port!y nurse, laden with a gorgeous
ly-clad baby, waGdled in, speedily fol-
and begemmed fingers, namely, Mrs.
Dennys of Coiworth, a stately we'll
conditioned lady, on whose lovely
blooming face not the ~faintest trace OF
shame, remorse, regret lingered-a face
that was. the embodiment Of supreme
self-satisfaction and unshadoWed pros
perity. Helen looked into it long and
deeply with hungry eyes, then turned
to the wall, when a shower Of hot
tears dimmed her sight.
Il tell you, Halpin, the box is some
where in the. station; the porter dis
tinctly saw it being lifted out Of the
last train, and l won't leave the sta
ton until it is found. l really never

him fearfully, her eyes fixed upon the
dark figure, which nobody seemed to

Helen's lips moved in incoherent ter

eyes.

leaves me, before 1 look at you-before
I look at you again."
She leaned forward rocking herself
to and fro in the fever of temptation,
moaning feebly, until some one touch
ed her appraised arm, and her hand fell
~instinctively. Edith's husband was
standing beside her, speaking to her.
Il beg your pardon, madam, there
is a parcel under your seat. Would you
allow me to see if it is the one we are
looking for No, it is not; thanks. 1
am sorry for disturbing you"
He moved away, not q CLEAN of rec
ognition in his face, and she looked
after him dumbly, her hands lying on
her lap.
At first she could not see him plain
" for a red mist shrOuded her eyes;
but it passed away, and he stood clear
before her, a man in the prime Of life;
stalwart and shapely, with a handsome
sunny face as insouciant, free from
remorse and care as Edith's own, a
man whom the world used well, who
had obeyed her last request in the
spirit as we'll as the letter. Changed;

They went; and Helen Deunys, who
was supposed to have been drowned
seven years ago, sank back into her
seat and covered her face with heT
hands in a passion of despair and
stormy revolt, almost as fierce as that
which swept her the morning she tried
to take her husbands life.

CHAPTER XVI

One cold gusty evening in October
seven years after the pen had fallen
from Paul Dennys' hand, two women
wearing the garb of the good Sisters
of Nazareth, wendell their way across
the little country churchyard Of Col
worth and stood silently before a white
marble cross bearing the following in
scription-
Sacred to the memory of Helen

Colworth, who died 22nd of July, 1877
aged 49,"
at stood a few yards away from the
huge stone monument under which
generations Of Dennyses slept, the
reeds and rushes from the river, flow
ing close by, rustling mournfully
around it, making the spot so dismal
and ghostly that the elder sister, a
woman Of a vigorous and unimagin-
alive disposition, shuddered %involun-
tarily and exclaimed half-pettishly to
her silent companion

it into the river and moved heavily

Agatha, laying a motherly hand On her
companions shoulder.
She obeyed, tossing back her heavy
Grape veil, and lifted a wan ~listless
face to the low murky sky.
Poor Helen!" she sighed presently,
with a weak laugh. They haven't
given her a very dry bed, have they?
They might have moved her a little
