CHAPTER X.

Madam Dubois was dangerously mad
from that night. enacting over and
over again the terrible deed she had
committed, the combined remorse and
terror of which she had gradually
thrown her mind off its balance. 1t
was found that she had broken into
Mollie's room. and, discovering the
window open and the room empty,
had evidently pursued them down the
road, for one OF her shoes was found
not far from the White house gates.
Fooled in her attempt by the timely ar
rival Of Reggie, she had returned and
smashed everything in the room, bury
ing the knife in Mollie's pillow.
Henri was telegraphed for. but de-
clined to come. sending word that he
was seriously Ill with the shock. The
general impression was that he feared
to set foot in Reverton, as he had all
along known more than he would al
low; but nothing could be proved
against him. Madame raved for him
perpetually; but this one creature
whom she worshipped. for whom she
had stopped at no crime, coolly de-
serted her without the least compunc-
ton.
Never once did he write to ask
about her. or did she see him again;
but he quietly disappeared from
knowledge. though many years after
ward Mollie received begging letters
at intervals from him. And it was
Mollie who took compassion on her
enemy, and returned good for evil by
paying for her to be well cared for
in an asylum, where she fingered for
some years.
Being left without a guardian, her
trustees were quite willing for her to
accept Mrs. Anstruther's offer of a
home until her marriage, an offer eX-
tended to Kate also; so everything at
Chalfont was sold and the place let,
and Mollie would have been happy in
deed, but for her anxiety about her lit
tie half-sister.
Poor child! She had been failing all
winter, though Mollie could not see
dt, and as the spring advanced she grew
weaker and weaker, though she suf-
lfered no pain. They were all very
good to her, these kind people, bearing
with the fractions irritability that she
could not control. Reggie came home
as often as he could, and taught Mol

neglected or forgotten. Many an hour
would good-natured Reggie carry her
about in the old garden and amuse her,
and she was very fond of the tall,
handsome young fellow, watching him
with preternaturally large eyes; but
there was no one like Mollie toward
the end, her first love and her last,
her very own Mollie!"
us she not beautiful, Joyce?" she
said one day, as she watched them set
off for ride, and they turned to nod
cheerfully as the tiny, thin hand was
waved from the window. Reggie
loves her very much, but not so much
as l do. No one in this world can
tell what Mollie has been to me-"
And Joyce, softly stroking the tlaxen
curls OF the owner of Chalfont, thought
OF that scene in the garden the preced-
ing spring, when the over-dressed lit
tie heiress. sitting in the swing, had
spoken so differently. Truly Mollie
had worked wondersl
Everything have is yours, Mollie, I"
the child said with passionate devotion,
one cold, spring afternoon, as the girl
sat rocking her gently to and fro be-
fore the fire. MY heart, my life, ev-
erything; but who would have Chal-
font IL / died?"
Il should, my Kittie."
"Oh, then that is all right" And
Kate nestled closer into her arms with
smile OF utter contentment. I'VE are
very happy now, Mollie, are we not?
viii you sing mothers lullaby again."
Mrs. Anstruther's face was looking
very grave as she watched the child;
but with the courage that always came
to Mollie in her need, she began softly
to sing the old nursery tune they both
loved. Once Kate stirred and gave a
little sigh; but Mollie went on, though
to ears that heard not, for with that
sigh the little girl had fallen into that
sleep that knows no waking, and gone
home to the Heavenly Father whom
Mollie had taught her to love.
You must not grieve too much, Mol
lie darling" Reggie said later, when
she had cut off long, fair curl, and
they had carried the child away and
laid her by her mothers side in the
church yard. Had she lived there are
many things that she must have known
as she grew older, which would have
hurt her. She is spared much suffer.
ing."
And Mollie, remembering her dar-
ling's quick, sensitive spirit, knew it
was true. She was very happy as time
passed; it was impossible not to be
happy with Reggie, and though the
trials Of life came to both as the years
rolled on, nothing ever came between
those two. There are no lives without
trouble; but theirs they bore together,
and tried to bear well, and they
passed, leaving them better and
stronger.
But even when children of her own
lay In her arms, there was always a
very tender spot in Mollie's heart for
the child who was gone. And as one
spring followed another, and snow
drops, primroses and daffodils came in
their season. the sharp, anxious lit
tie face would rise before her. But 1t
was never the face Of my half-sister,
Kate" Leonard Barlowe's daughter,
the heiress Of Chalfont She had gone
long ago; 1t was the wistful one Of
the little sister who slept the last long
sleep by her mothers side, who had
given her the whole beautiful love of
her child's heart.

CHAPTER I.-CContinued.J

ChAHl Eli l.-(COntlnueu,)
Mollie waited to hear no more; she
was flying up stairs as fast as her
trembling legs would carry her, her
plan of action made on the way. There
we're only two servants sleeping in the
house that night, their room was right
at the other side; they were doubt
less barricaded in it, and would scream
and refuse to let Kate and herself into
1t until too late. She and the child
would be helpless in madame's terribly
strong hands did she once get hold OF
them, and the lock of her door was
weak, so her plan seemed the only one,
and there was not a moment to lose.
"Kittie, get up at once, dead, and
dress as quickly as you can" she said
as she entered the room and shut and
locked the door Don't ask any ques-
lions now, and will tell you all about
it presently. Hurry!"
She spoke as quietly as she could;
but the poor little girl was out of bed
as soon as she had finished speaking
and pulling on her clothes in silence
with trembling hands. One look at
Mollie had been enough. Mollie, mean
while. dragged anything she could find
against the door and opened the win
dow quietly. Then she helped Kate
into her things and. tying shawl
over her head. put her out on the slop-
ing tiled roof of the veranda and
crawled out after her.
Now, listen, Kittie," she whispered
impressively. Il am going to let my
self down by one of the pillars, and
when l say your name and hold out
my arms you are to jump. Then we
shall run as fast as we can to the
White house"
Eyes, Mollie." murmured the child
obediently, her eyes wide with terror.
Without waiting for hat or wrap,
Mollie scrambled down. and a minute
later they were speeding out on to
the road.
Some one was rafting the door
handle" said Kate, as Mollie paused to
open the gate.
Mollie's only answer was to take her
hand again and run. 1t was for their
lives, literally a race for their lives
that they were running, she knew.
Was that the clang Of the gate be-
hind them? She pulled Kate along
faster, for she felt it was. and mile
was a terrible way to run.
81 must stop" painted Kate. ooh,
Mollie; l can't run any more"
As Mollie caught her up and hurried
on with clenched teeth. she felt sure
she heard footsteps on the hard road
behind. Every moment she felt the
poor distraught woman was gaining
on them-that she could hear madame's
wild voice; but she staggered on,
praying as she had never prayed be-
fore for help, and that she might save
Kate, her mothers baby!
But she had hardly any breath left
by the time the White house gate ap-
peared in sight: the steps were COM
ing nearer. then wheels came rolling
up--a high dog cart passed her, in
which she could distinguish a we'll
known form.
"Reggie Reggie!" she shrieked
despairipgly; and then she remem-
bered nothing more until she found
herself in the hall at the White house,
Reggies arms round her, Mrs. An
struther's and Joyce's kind faces near,
and Kate leaning against her knee.

NATURE STORES ENERGY.
What the Anatomists Have Learned Of
Common ThIngs,
The End.

Common Things.
Mother Nature has odd ways Of
storing up energy-has SO much en-
ergy, in fact, that she hides II away
in the tiniest, most unlikely bundles.
Common things that are handled every
day are more than likely to be mack
aces full Of force of one sort or an
other. If you were asked to decide
which was stronger, a steam boiler or
pot OF common white navy beans.
you would probably say that the for
mer was-might possibly say so con-
temptuously. with a laugh. Yet those
wise old fellows, the anatomists, have
learned that beans are capable of ex-
erting a pressure fully equal to the
largest boiler. When they find 1t nee
essary to separate the bones OF a skull
they fill 1t with beans and place 1t in
a basin of water. The beans soon alb
sorb the water. swell and slowly force
the bones apart, for there is no skull
that can withstand the steady, even
pressure. And unless some equally
careful workman could be found to do
the work. no skulls could be articu-
lated, for rougher methods would shat
ter the bones and quite spoil the job.
Anatomists have learned many SINH
lar tricks by watching nature. When
they wish to obtain skeleton Of a
small animal mouse, or a fish. for
example-they put the little body upon
an ant heap and leave the tiny insects
to eat the flesh away from the bones.
In a month or six weeks nothing re-
mains but bare skeleton held to-
gether by the tough cartilages-pro-
vided the wise anatomist has protected
his specimen against the cat. II he
has not why, Of course. nothing re-
mains, not even a grease spot.

seldom talked of distinction or class or

he first had classified and christened.
He had too keen an appreciation of
genius not to recognize his own. He
