Arley Rarsome was touched again.
Some one said that Lady Caraven was

The tender arms were clinging

CHAPTER vI.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER -(Continued.)
No laughing young sisters came to
talk over the great event with her;
no gentle. loving mother folded her in
her arms and prayed heaven to bless
her in her new life; no laughing,
bright, fond school friends we're there
as companions; she was quite alone,
her heart aching and burning with a
new sense OF desolation and loneli-
ness. Her wedding day! Her toilet
table was laden with jewels; her
fance had been lavish in his presents;
no duchess had more elegant or costly
surroundings-yet she would have
given all, she thought, for some one
to love and comfort her. Her wedding
day! Yet he had not been; he had sent
no note with the flowers, only his card
and his compliments; there was no
promise OF the love that was to come
after marriage, not one kindly word
to allay her doubts or her fears
There could be no picture more touch
ing than this OF the lonely girl with
the flowers in her hand. She had
turned to them as she would have
turned to living creature; her lover,
who on the morrow was to be her hus-
band. had not been near, but he had
sent the flowers, and in her forlorn
fashion she had fancied she should
get some comfort from them.
But they revealed nothing to her.
The costly blossoms lay cold, fragrant,
without meaning AS she stood hold
ing them there came into her mind
story she had read of a young girl on
her wedding eve-a girl who had stolen
out in the sweet. soft starlight to meet
her lover by the garden gate. She
remembered that the story told how
the gallant young lover had kissed his
bride-kissed her lips and her hands,
calling her by every sweet name a
lover could invent-how they had
stood under the starlight amongst the
trees and the fiowers-how full of
hope and happiness the young lover
went away, and was never seen again.
She thought OF this story now. Her
face flushed; her heart beat. She

face did not reach him.
do you like being on the sea at
night?" he inquired, after long
pause.
II hardly know my own likes and
dislikes yet" she replied. why do
you ask?"
Because the boat leaves Dover for
Calais about eleven, and I thought we
would take It,"
''As you please" she replied.
Her face was quite pale, her lips
were white and pressed firmly togeth-
err In her heart was a sense of DESC
lation that words could not describe.
He wondered at her silence, her grav-
ity. 1t was the height Of the season
at Dover, and the band was playing on
the pier. He sat with his wife in the
dining-room of the Lord Warden, when
he saw her suddenly start as though
she were frightened. She covered her
face with her hands, and when she
looked up again her eyes were dim
with tears.
1t was all because the band was
playing Loves Young Dream"

'o Sommerciai houses Adhere to Prfmt-
tive Method OF Lighting.
Electric lights are coming into more
general use all the time in the City Of
Mexico as the various companies add
to the capacities of their plants. Three
companies are now furnishing electric
light and power. An American COM
pany is preparing to erect a modern
gas plant. Several gasoline lamp COM
panies are operating In the republic
through local agents. Candles, how
ever, remain in very general use among
all classes. Petroleum costs from 60 to
20 cents a gallon, while tallow candles
of local manufacture can be purchased
as low as one cent each, this price nat
urally for small taper. Mexican
workmen can get along with less light,
apparently, than any other class. In
some OF the old fashioned Offices Of i'm
portant commercial houses no other
light than tallow dips is ever known
A bookkeeper may be seen making his
entries in great ledger with the light
OF a single candle, and the wealthy
proprietor may be found bending over
his big mahogany desk fianked by two
tall and stately candelabra. A Mexi-
can printer can work with candle
stuck carelessly into one OF his boxes,
and two tailors In the small shops can
be seen sharing the rays OF a single
dip. The opportunities for the sale Of
better lighting apparatus in Mexico
will be great when 1t can be provided
cheaply and of simple construction.
The great difficulty experienced with
most of the gasoline lights that are
on the market here is that they require
careful attention, and in the hands OF
ignorant Mexican servants they soon
get out of der-Pennsylvania Grit.

1t is not an uncommon thing 10 see
on pleasant days, when the fish are
running at East Taunton, hundreds OF
men, women and children clustered
around the fishway watching the fish
struggling up against the strong cur
rent and trying to get into the smooth
er waters above the dam, where they
may shoot off at leisure to the spawn
ing place in the Nemasket, says the
Boston Herald. The fishway is SO con-
structed that 1t is impossible for the
fish to make clear swim from top TO
bottom or vice versa. They must work
is also very strong there near the dam
and until they reach the lower part of
the fishway. Thence they struggle and
wriggle into the lower entrance of
the fishway, thus making sure of at
least a chance to rub up against the
boards and rest before they begin their
wearisome fight for the top and smooth
water. It Is in the fishway that the
interest of the average spectator Is
centered, since here the fish can be
seen plainly in punches almost thick
enough for one to walk across on their
backs. and where one may easily reach
down and pull them out of the water.
They are generally packed In SO thick
that they cannot escape the quick
moving hand OF man or boy. From
right to left and from left to right,
steadily, slowly, they keep on In the
effort to get out Of the fishway, and 1t
is one Of the prettiest sights imagin-
able to watch the little fellows, plucky
and game Be- the last, as they almost
imperceptbly work out of one passage
way into another and crowd each other
against the corner. No matter how
many people are close to them, so close
that they could be touched with the
hand or cane. they appear to pay no
attention to their interested audience,
but keep right on about their business.
A Waterman is on duty at the fishway
all Of the time to see that no one dis
turbs them, but when his attention is
taken up by questions that are asked

she was about to marry the handsome,

All that had passed before seemed like

her. There came confused vision OF
