yet it was not the cry had been look

why was her protest so much weaker

"Oh, he shouted, while she shrunk

rang out.
This, or was it his words, seemed to
rouse her as nothing had done before
Thrusting out her hand she laid it on
his mouth with a look of almost frenzied
appeal at the woman who was standing
at his back.
mr. William, how can your that

have turned upon her angrily she lean

but l did not soon forget a single feature

The remainder Of the dinner passed
quietly, William and myself eating with
more or less heartiness, Lucetta tasting
nothing at all. In mercy to her de-
,lined coffee, and as soon as William
gave token of being satisfied we hur-
riedly rose. 1t was the most uncomfort-
able meal ever ate in my life.

Superstitions have indeed been asso-

law, medicine, nature, the family, the
state. But we do not reject what is
true in them with the false. Religion
is just now eliminating itself from

Glory.

When human weakness wrestles in the breast,
Though naught is seen of every anguished throe
IT'S then the snow white banner is the best,
IT'S then that mankind meets his deadliest foe.
But on, brave heart, wear a majestic face
Devoid OF evil thou the fray hast seen.
Go seek the way by which some godly grace
May come to mortals, with no veil between.
Go, fainting not, though hope grows chill and
wan
And nightfal seems wrath of dim despair;
Twill be an hour Of rapture when the dawn
OF wisdom rises-fIom thy night of care.

CHAPTER VI.
A SOMBER EVENING.

I The evening, like the afternoon, was
spent in the sitting room with one Of
the sisters. One event alone is worth
recording. I had become excessively
tired of conversation that always Ian
guished no matter on what topic it
was started, and, observing an old piano
in one corner-I once played very we'll
Il sat down before it and impulsively
struck a few chords from the yellow
keys Instantly Lucetta-it was Lucet-
ia who was with me then-bounded TO
my side with look of horror ON her
face.
Don't do that" she cried, laying
her hand on mine to stop me. Then see
ing my look of dignified establishment,
she added with an appealing smile, II
beg pardon, but every sound goes
through me tonight"
"Are you not well?" asked,
~ am never very we'll" she return
ed, and we went back to the sofa and
renewed our forced and pitiful attempts
at conversation.
Promptly at 9 O'Clock Miss Knollys
came in. She was very pale and cast, as
usual, sad and uneasy look at her sis
ter before she spoke to me. Immediate
ly Lucetta rose, and, becoming very pale
herself, was hurrying toward the door
when her sister stopped her.
"You have forgotten, she said, "to
say good night to our guest "
Instantly Lucetta turned, and, with
sudden, uncomfortable impulse seized
my hand and pressed it convulsively
Good night" she cried. Il hope
you will sleep well, " and was gone be-
fore | could say word in response
"Why does Lucetta go out OF the
room when you come in?'' l asked, de-
termined to know the reason for this
peculiar conduct. Have you any other
guests in the house?'
The reply came with unexpected ve-
hemence. "No," she cried, why
should you think SO? There is no one
here but the family ~ And she turned
away with dignity she must have in
herited from her father, for Althea Bur
roughs had every other interesting
quality but that "You must be very
tired" she said. "If you please, we
will go now to your room. ~
rose at once, glad of the prospect of
seeing the upper portion of the house. |
She took my wraps on her arm, and we
passed Immediately into the hall. As
we did so l heard voices, one of them
shrill and full of distress. but the sound |
was so quickly smothered by a closing |
door that failed to discover whether |
that tone of suffering proceeded from a
man or a woman.
Miss Knollys, who was preceding me-
glanced back in some alarm, but as l
gave no token of having noticed any
thing out of the ordinary she speedily
resumed her way up stairs. As the
sounds had heard had proceeded from
above followed her with alacrity, but
felt my enthusiasm diminish somewhat
when found myself passing door after
door down long hall to room as re-
mote as possible from what seemed to
be the living portion of the house.
SIS it necessary to put me off quite so
far?" asked as my young hostess paused
and waited for me to join her on the
threshold of the most forbidding room
1t had ever been my fortune to enter.
The blush which mounted to her brow :
showed that she felt the situation keen
".
81 am sure, she said, "that it is q
matter of great regret to me to be obliged
to offer you so mean lodging. but all
