She looked at her watch. It wanted

her light footsteps was all unheard.

Learn. by constant yearning. to as

Seeking a higher object. Love was
given,
Encouraged, sanctioned. chiefly for
that end;
For this the passion TO excess was
driven
That self might be annulled."
"Sit down here by my side, Mrs.
Rivers" said the faint voice. MY
eyes are so heavy; l wish you could
talk me to sleep"
They were alone now, and the fight
for life OF death was to be lost or won
that night; alone with the grim angel
whose shadow lay On the fair, boyish
face.
You will tell me the truth, know, "
he sale. Papa cried tonight when he
kissed me. Am in danger, Mrs.
Rivers? Am I going to die?"
There was such wondering awe on
the young face-such light and fear
in the large, bright eyes, she knew
not how to answer; yet she had been
by too many death-beds to hesitate
long. sf
I'VE hope not" she said. quietly.
Life and death are in Gods hands. IL

you. you will be willing to go?"

do not think am frightened. Heaven.
they say, is very fair, and God so good.
I wanted to know the truth, because of
poor papa"
The boys lips quivered. and his
faint voice died away.
He Will be almost alone" he con-
tinued after a short time; ''for no one
loves him as | do. Lance is so little,
and have been with him so many
years. l wish-I wish, if the Almighty
will, that l might live"
She knelt down by his side, and
drew the hot, tired head on to her
breast: she pillowed him in her tender
arms, and bending over him, whis-
pered such words as might have been
spoken by angel lips--words so full of
love, of mercy, of hope-so glowing in
their grand descriptions of the land
where there is no sorrow and no
wrong" that the boy listened as one
enchanted
You speak just as my mother did, "
he whispered quietly; "she always
told me every night about God, and the
angels. and heaven. She used to sing
a pretty little hymn. Do you know
it?-'Paradise.
81 know it. dear; 1 will sing it, if you
will try to go to sleep. Shut your eyes
and listen"
The burning eyelids closed slowly,
and Rupert lay still and motionless.
There was deep. unbroken silence; then
the sweet voice, still hushed and low,
rose, singing the beautiful hymn. The

night wind might blow upon her, and
stood there in gloomy, sullen silence
more terrible than any angry words.
The quiet stars were shining, the
darkling skies were calm and sere,
the gentle murmur of the wind barely
moved the branches; but the sweet,
holy calm of night brought no peace
to her.
Peace! while the memory of the wo-
man she had hated so terribly dwelt in
her husbands heart; while he loved
Violante dead better than he loved her
self living! For long years now she
had filled Violante's place; she had
lavished the whole love of her pas.
sionate nature upon him; she had
made him her sole thought and study,
her sole care; and now he turned to
her with love for Violante shadowing
his face, with regret for Violante on
his lips. She was nothing to him,
after all-she and little Lancet

beth of us tOgether!" cried the angry
woman.
All pity for her husbands grief AL
compassion for the sorrow the loss OF
his son would cause hjm-was forgot.
ten; all human kindness. all womanly
feeling, seemed to die out of her heart.
Standing there in the quiet light of the
stars, her only thought was:
Il wish he would die. | hope the
morning sun may find him dead"
What was he to her?-the son OF
rival whom even in death she hated;
barrier between her son and his
lest, brightest hopes-between her
son and fortune. But for him, the
youth lying so helpless, Lance would
one day be Lord of Selwyn; rich,
titled and honored. Because he stood
in the way. Lance would be, after all,
nothing but younger brother. with
commission in the army. or living in
the church. She clinched her white.
strong hands at the thought. How
frail and feeble. after all, the life
] that stood between her son and the
grand inheritance of SCiwyn.
What was the night wind whispering
.tars saying? What was it that drove
all color from my Iady's face. and left
her trembling as though she had re-
CCived a blow?
! No more locking up to the calm
skies. or at the peaceful. sleeping
earth. Lady Beatrice closed the win
ldcw. as though by shutting out the fair
face of nature she could hide herself
fIom the All-Piercing Eyes that read
ali hearts. She drew the blinds, and
sat down to think tler thoughts must
nave been wicked ones. for her face
became CHASTITY, her eyts burned with
fierce, wild light. her lips trembled
her whole figure shock.
What words were they that came to
! her in the silence of night?
IF he sleeps, he will live; if not, no
human power can save him!"
This son of the rival she hated
this usurper of her own sons rights
this boy who kept sole possession of
his fathers heart, must die unless he
slept!
Her breath came in thick, hot gasps.
There was only one means of securing
sleep, and that was by giving him the
lcpiate. If he did not take the opiate,
/ he must die.
She sat like one possessed Of an evil
spirit. thinking over those words, good
and evil doing fierce battle in her
heart Hatred and revenge whisper
ing fiery words to her; good angels

honor. of her words: a sudden sickly
pang of fear-a mortal dead.
Il hope morning dawn will find you
better" she said; but there was some
thing in her eyes, in the whole expires
sion OF her face, that said more truth
fully. Il hope morning dawn will find
you dead!"
Lady Beatrice went to the mantel-
niece and took from it the bottle con-
tanning the clear, white opiate; then
she placed it on the stand, close to the
crimson hangings; then, with a smile
of adieu, left the room.
Il am so glad she is gone" murmur-
ed Rupert. Her lips say kind words;
her eyes say they hate me-"
And then all sound in that magnif-
cent mansion. over which the shadow
of death hung so darlxly, ceased. A
dead profound silence reigned; there
was not a stir, not murmur-even the
wind had fallen, and seemed listening
for the events to come.
Lord Selwyn went to his own room,
not to rest, not TO sleep, but to pray
for his son-to pray that the young
| life might be spared; to think over
with remorse and regret a past in
which it seemed to him now that he
had been careless and negligent. That
suspicion haunted him. Had Lady
Beatrice always been kind to his son?
When she left the bedroom, her
husband was waiting for her in the cor.
ridor. He went to her, while the
shadow of sorrow deepened OH his face.
Beatrice" he said, laying his hand
on her shoulder, and looking in her

that he had mentioned the name of his

flashed in the dark eyes of Lady Bea'

"The happiness or misery of Lady
Violante was not of my making, vi

He turned sadly away. There seemed

How Violante would have soothed him

How gentle. patient, and tender she

shut himself up in his room, there to
wait until good or evil news came to
him.
And Lady Beatrice. with angry pride
and jealousy raging in her heart, went
into her dressing-room, where her
maid awaited her. One look at the
beautiful. stony face. and the maid
knew that all was not well with her
mistress.
You need not wait" said my lady;
Il wish to be alone"
Devcutly thankful for the relief. the
woman withdrew. and Lady Beatrice
closed the door after her.
There was a tempest of pride mar

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The work of fix
ing the respor sibility for the Iro-
quois theatre fire was begun today
by Fire Inspector Fulkerson. Wit
nesses to the number of IS are to be
examined, including every employe
of the theatre. Some members Of
the "Bluebeard' company who were
allowed to leave the city may be
brought back to add their testimony
to that of the sixteen members ar
rested.
Claiming that an attempt has been
made to make organized labor a
scapegoat for the horror. the Chica-
go Federation of Labor has voted
to investigate the causes of the fire
through a special committee.
All fire traps in the shape of pub
lie halls will be the next assembly

Notice has been served by Mayor
Harrison of possible wholesale clo-
sing not merely of theatres. but of
churches, stores, Office building. fac
tories, hotels and private residences
and it has aroused the city. Before
the mayor proceeds to extremes the
city council will be given a chance
to revise the laws and strike out
provisions held to be unjust to pro-
perty owners and not essential to
safety.
