So Helena read, knowing little more
than he of what the words would be,
surprised and angry at the banality
and insolence of it, Thus:

me the light of your cuuntenance in

the. end.

Sir Frederick raised his hand.

at is atrocious," she whispered,
"that l should not have known it was
here"
Upon that book she had made two
VOWS, the first quite ordinary, the Sec
ond most unusual, even unique. Be
fore God and her earthly sovereign, the
king. she had made both the vows, the
first in the presence of many, when an
archbishop held that copy of the word
and Helena became Sir Frederick KEN
ble's wife; the second with but two to
hear and but one to see the solemn
promise sealed upon the book Three
wears lay between the vows : three
years Of happiness and one of great
sorrow.
"If / did not trust you fully" the
king had said to her upon the occasion
of the second promise, ''Sir Frederick's
misfortune would mark the end of his
most highly valued service unless, in
deed, his sight should be restored, as l
.devoutly hope. 1t is without precedent
that a man lacking eyes of his own
should be a cabinet minister But you
shall be his eyes. Swear to me upon
this book which you especially revere
and in the presence of that King before
whom | am no more than the dust to
which my body shall return, that you
will faithfully sustain this duty, divulg
ing nothing of all that you shall see,
adding nothing thereto. emitting not
one word therefrom, as your husband
shall command you to read"
And Helena had knelt to heaven and
the king and had kissed the book with
all sincerity, her husband kissing her
most affectionately as she arose.
1t was not an occasion likely to slip
ones mind. this secret, solemn ceremo-
NAL. Helena marveled that she could
have forgotten where the old Bible had
been put away, yet she had come upon
1t quite by chance.
Il wish it were more to me-" she
thought. Il have no effective religion.
Let me be frank with myself. An oath
means nothing to me. What will the
world do when all shall be as | am?
Truly believe that there is a need of
something sacred"
The sound of chords came softly into
the room. Eunice, Sir Frederick's sis
ter, was playing upon a little pipe or
gan, a church organ in miniature and
of very sweet tone, that had been
built into her apartments.
"She believes everything without pos
sibility of question" said Helena. Had
she been sworn as was her wish TO do
right would have been backed by all
the terrors of the infinite. Would the
public business be safer If she were
Frederick's eyes? Upon my soul,
think it would be. Yet she is not so
honest as | am. l would not trust her

should not now be verging toward
deadly peril"
She took up the Bible again, held il
in her two hands and counterfeited rev
erence until she felt some touch of the
reality. The fancy came to her that
the book should be in the official work
shop, and thus she was reminded that
her husband must already be awaiting
her there, having dismissed his doctors

FORMAL AGREEMENT IS MADE.
Events of the Last Two Years
Have Caused Much Apprehen-

servative Citizens.
FORMAL AGREEMENT is MADE.

Berlin. March 1.-The text OF the agree
ment signed by the leaders in Saxony Of
the Conservative, National Liberal Anti
Semitic and Agrarian parties. providing for
mutual support at the Forthcoming cleo
tons. was made public to-day.
II is especially aimed at the Socialists.
and its chief feature is pledge not to
nominate candidates against each other in
districts already held by one of these par
ties, and assigning the several districts now
represented by Socialists to the parties en-
tering into the agreement. 1t is expected
to at least maintain the present ratio Of
representation in the Reichstag.
A union OF the parties is also being eff
fected in other parts Of the Empire, and 1t
is not likely that the elections will be
a contest between the Socialists on one side
and all the other parties on the other. eX-
cept the small radical groups.
Political events of the last two years
have caused the conservative elements Of
the country much apprehension.
The Socialists, il is generally supposed,
have gained largely over their vote of 900
90 in ls9s
Their leaders expected two months ago a
gain OF from fifteen TO fifty seats, but the
combination Of the political parties has
moderated these estimates until now the
best-informed men of the Socialist party
think they will do we'll If they gain ten
