The man and the time and the

him and when he struck his sword

WIN the same movement, unconscious
and simultaneous.
In some remarkable way this tre-
mendous national crisis had become
known in every corner of the land.
And the very vagueness and mystery
OF the conviction intensified it's i'm
portance, for generally the informa-
ton came as the wind blows, no one
knew whence.
At Swaffham and de Wick this fate
full feeling was aggravated by keen
personal interests. To Mrs. Swaffham
and Jane the coming battle might
mean widowhood and orphanage. To
de Wick it might mean the extinction
of the family, root and branch, the
loss to the lonely earl and his daugh.
ter Of the one love on which their
future could build any hope.
On the third afternoon, there came
rumors Of a great Parliamentary vic
tory, rumors that Charles Stuart had
been slain in battle, suppositions and
sumises innumerable and contradic-
tory. Jane went as quickly as posi-
BILE to de Wick, for if indeed there
had been a Royalist defeat, Stephen de
Wick might have reached home and
life was hardly to be borne, unless
some certainty relieved the tension
cutting like a tight thong the heart

Jane smiled gratefully, and her eyes
were dim with tears as she laid her
hands in Doctor Verity's to clasp her
promise. Yet when she reached her
room and sat quiet in its solitude, no
one will blame her because many
thoughts of love and hope blended
themselves with the piteous ones she
sent to de Wick, and to the two weary
tugitiyes under Swaffham roof.

Society Takers May Find Moral in
This story.
Upon a recent occasion two bosom
friends, George and Harry, were in
vited to an evening sociable. George.
being quite a clever entertainer, was
consequently in great demand at such
functions, and he looked forward to
the event with much pleasure.
Harry, on the contrary, was loath
to accept the invitation, explaining to
his friend that upon such occasions
the ladies would frequently ask If he
had read such and such a book, to
which in almost every instance, much
to. his embarrassment, he was Obliged
to answer in the negative, not being
literary inclined. George, however,
to be consoling, said that In every
such case he should answer yes, and
the probabilities were no further COM
ments upon the books would occur.
This appeared plausible enough to
Harry, who forthwith consented to &C
cept the invitation, and, as anticipated,
during the evening was asked II he
had read certain books, amongst them
Romeo and Juliet, to which he replied.
II have read Romeo but not Juliet"

a Senator's PRIVILEGE.

The Senate was astounded few
mornings ago when Mr.. Pettus OF Ala
bama appeared In new suit built on
something absolutely approaching
modern lines. Hitherto he has always
worn long black broadcloth coat and
wonderfully baggy trousers. Depew
ventured to express surprise at the
jaunty appearance of his aged col.
league, who complacently explained:
"Fact is | have just been reelected,
and I consider it my privilege to get
new suit of clothes. I'll get an.
other when am reelected again in

going TO meet trouble or that trouble
was following after her. She entered
the hall and saw man in his stock
inged feet softly descending the stairs.
She knew his name and his occupation
and her heart stood still with fear.
rs that you, Jane Swaffham?" cried
hatilda, running down stairs. Come
here, come here, come here!" and
Selling her by the arm, she compelled
Jane to ascend at her side. Jane
made no resistance to such impetu-
Gus, imperative passion, and she was
hurried up the steps and along the
corridor until Matilda suddenly
stopped and threw open the door of a
darkened room.
Go in, Mistress Swaffham," she
cried, land look your last on one Of
Cromwelps victims" And Jane shook
herself free, and stood moment re-
garding the placid face of the dead
priest.
"oh, God be merciful!" said Jane,
and Matilda answered, yes, for men
know nothing Of mercy. Come. there
is more yet"
Then she opened the door next to
the death chamber, and Jane saw ly-
ing IN great canopied bed the dying
earl. His last breaths were coming in
painful sobs, but he opened his eyes
and looked mournfully at Jane for a
few moments. Then the physician
sitting by his side motioned authori-
tatively to the two girls to leave the
room.
HE Is dying. You see that. He
may live till morning-no longer"
said Matilda; "he is only waiting to
see Stephen, and Stephen will never
come"
"What can do for you, dear? Oh.

With these words Matilda turned
sobbing away, and Jane, slowly at
first and then hastily, took the road
to Swaffham. For she remembered
that the news which had reached de
Wick was probably at Swaffham. So
she made all possible haste, and as
sAn as she reached home she was
aware of change. Her mother came
quickly towards her. Her look was
surried, but not unhappy, as she
cried, ''Have you the news, Jane?
