CHAPTER XIV.

Tongues would have babbled and Cos
siped good deal about the doings at the
Priory had it not been for DR.. Deane.
Very quietly and skillfully he tells the
story of the illness and death of the I'M
fortunate lady who, years before, had
been the cause of a terrible and unforgot-
ten tragedy.
When people hear that she lies dead in
the stately house whittier she had come
in the flush and fullness Of her girlish
beauty, they are not so much surprised
as Denzil and his faithful coadjutor an
ticipated. 1t was only natural, they
thought, that she should have sought
refuge there at last-only natural that
she should be laid at rest, despite her
wrong doing, in the vaults where all the
dead and gone Charterises lie Wondering
in the dust.
So, two days afterwards, she is quietly
and reyerently laid there, and DIR. Deane,
Denzil Charters, Lance Stapleton ana
the clergyman are the only spectators. IL

Not in His Line.

One of the penalties of eminent sue
cess in life is that the fortunate person
is besieged by numberless appeals for
assistance, from needy ones who have
no claim upon him other than that OF
charity, considered in it's almsgiving
sense. To heed all these appeals would
take nearly all ones time, to say moth
ing of ones money, and as a rule they
come from the undeServing.
A distinguished musician was waited
upon one day in his study by rather
seedy-looking stranger, who said to
him, with what seemed to be genuine
emotion:
"May humble brother musician
claim your sympathy for one moment?
I don't ask you to give me anything.
but will you lend me dollar or two?
You can command ten dollars lesson,
or as much more as you choose to ask,
while think myself fortunate if can
get pupil now and then at a half-dol-
lar sitting"
"My FRIEND said the other, touched
by this appeal, perhaps can help you
better than by lending you money.
What is your branch of music!
Il give lessons on the violin"
"Well. we will see what you can do.
Here is a violin. I will sit down to the
piano, and we will play duet
He whipped a fine violin out OF its
case, handed it to the stranger, seated
himselfat the piano, and placed sheet
of music before him.
The caller rasped the bow across the
strings, leaned forward, looked at the
composition, and shook his head.
..Sharps?" he said. "Sharps? | never
play in sharps!'
The distinguished musician took the
violin from him, replaced it in it's case,
and coldly remarked:
"My friend, what you need is job
as night Waterman in a soap factory"
"Will you get it for me?' eagerly
asked the caller.
