TWO MAIDS A-BRoIDERING. @Mow plague take all created things, zady Kittyi. cried Mary Connynge, petulent1y f1inging down . silken pat tern over which she had pretended to be engaged. There are devils in the skeins to-day. I'll try no more with't."
 Fie. For shame, Mary Connynge, 2 replied Lady Catherine Knollys, re- uroying1y. stSo far from better temper ance of speech. didst ever hear of the virtue of perseverance? Now, for my own part
 And what, for your own part? !? Have no eyes to see that thou'rt put tering over the same corner this last half hour? What is 1t thou art making So-day?"
 The Lady Catherine paused for a mo- ment and held her embroidery frame away from her at arms length, looking at 1t with brow puckering into per- plexed frown
 T was working a knight" said she. IA tall one''

 True; or perhaps gray. could not state which. had naught in my box would serve to suit me for the eyes. But how know you this, Mary Con nynge?" asked the Lady Catharine. Because was making some such knight for myself" replied the other. See! He was to have been tall, of good figure, wearing wide hat and plume withal. But lest spoil him, my knight-now a plague take me if do not ruin him complete!" So saying, she drew with vengeful fingers at the intricate1y woven silks until she had indeed undone all that had gone be- fore.
 What pantomine might have fol- lowed did not appear, for at that mo- ment the butler appeared at the door with an admonitory cough. If you please, your ladyship," said he, there are two persons waiting. They-that is to say, he-one of them, asks for admission to your Iadyship."

CHAPTER VIII.

KATHARINE KNoLLYs.
 "You mistake, sir! am no light O love, John Law!a
 Thus spoke Catharine Knollys She stood near the door of the great draw ing-room of the Knollys mansion, her figure beseeming well it's framing of deep hangings and rich tapestries. Her eyes were wide and flashing, her cheeks deeply pink, the sweet bow of her lips half a-Quiver in her vehemence. Her surpassing personal beauty, rich, ripe, enticing, gave more than sufficient challenge for the fiery blood of the young man before her.
 1t was less than two weeks since these two had met. Surely the flood of time had run swiftly In those few days. Not a day had passed that Law had not met Catharine Knollys, nor had yet one meeting been such as the girl in her own conscience dared call better than clandestine, even though they met, as now, under her own roof Yet, reason as she liked, struggle as she could, Catharine Knollys had not been quite able to end this swift voyaging on the flood of fate. It was so strange. so new, 50 sweet withal, this coming of her su1tor, as from the darkness of some unknown star, so bold, so strong, so confident, and yet so humble! All the old song of tho ages thrilled within her soul. and each day it's compelling mel ody had accession. That this deIir1ous softening of all her senses meant dan- ger, the Lady Catharine could not de- n.y. Yet could aught of earth be wrong when 1t spelled such happiness, such sWeetness-when the sound of foot fall sent her blood going the faster when the sight of 8 tall form, the rins or 8 vibrant tone, caused her limbs |, weaken, her throat to choke?
 John Law looked at her calmly, btl, said nothing. One hand, in gesture customary with him, licked lightly at the deep cuff of the other wrist, and this nervous movement was the Sole betrayal of his uneasiness.
 You come to this house time and again" resumed Catharine Knollys, Nas though it were an ancient right on your part, as though you had always been friend of this family. And yet-l'
 And so have been,' broke in her suitor. My people were friends of yours before we two were born. Why, then, should you advise your servant. as you have, fairly to deny me adnis- sf0n at the do0r?n

ing just without The room Iney ulu not see the set face which looked down from the stairway. Through the open door Mary Connynge could see the young man as he stepped out of the door, could see the conduct of the girl now left alone in the drawing-room. She saw the Lady Catharine sink down upon the seat, her head dropped in thought, her hand lying languidly out before her. Pale now and distraught, the Lady Catharine Knollys wist lit- tie of what went on before her. She had full concern with the tumult which waged riot in her soul
 Mary Connynge turned, and started back up the stair unseen. She paused, her yellow eyes gone narrow, her lit- tla hand clutched tight upon the rail.

 Lady Catharine and Mary Connynge had both arisen and drawn together, and they now turned each 8 swift glance upon the other.

 No, your ladyship. That is to say, before thought. allowed the tall one to come within

 Lady Catharine Knollys,' said John Law, his voice deep and even, and showing no false note of embarrass- ment, i've come, as you may see, to make our respects to yourself and your friend, and to thank you for your kind ness to two strangers" .'To two strangers, Mir. Law" said Lady Catharine, pointedly.
 "Yes"-and the answering smile was hard to be denied-4tto two strangers who are still strangers. I did but be- think me 1t was sweet to have such kindness. We were advised that Lon don was cruel cold, and that all folk of this city hated their fe1lowmen. So, since twas welcome to be thus kindly entreated, I believed 1t but the act of courtesy to express our thanks more seeming than we might as that we were two beggars by the wayside. Therefore, pay the first flower of my perpetual tribute" He bowed and ex- tended, as he spoke. a deep red rose. His eye, though still direct, was as much imploring as 1t was bold
 Instinctively Mary Connynge and Lady Catharine had drawn together, retreating somewhat from this intru- sion. They were now standing. like l any school girls, looking dmid1y over

TERRIER RETURNS THE LEG.
navs gone well enough If Wilson had not

have gone well enough if Wilson had not overheard them talking of the plans. He was In dilemma. If he ran out to alarm the parents they might get away, and he had no authority to stop them himself. Events favored him st first, however. While Mary was upstairs get ling ready Wiston lay down on couch and went to sleep.
 This was Wilson's opportunity, and. entering the room quietly, he unscrewed the wooden leg and made of with It. He hid it under the stairs, and waited for the two to make the discovery. They did this soon enough, and then there was trouble and to spare. Mary was in tears, and Wiston in despair. They hunted for the leg. Wiston couldn't do much in this direction, but he did what he could, but it seemed to be no use.
 While Wilson was chuckling upstairs and Wiston was groaning downstairs, the fox terrier belonging to the man upstairs found the leg under the stair way and came trotting into the room with 1t.
 Mary fell on his neck with cry of joy and Wiston commenced putting the limb back in it's place. Before Wilson had any idea that his plans had gone astray the two were out of the house and on their way to minister.

 TABLE DECORATIONS. Pretty Hits of Color and ornasnentas
 tiou That Give the Board
 Added Charm.
 Among the various decorative things in burnt wood we have large flat bowls and trenches, which suggest beautiful centerpieces for the table, says the Wash ington Star. Fill these with red and purple grapes, golden pears and red ap- pies. Place the warm rich browns of : the bowl on mat of beautifully tinted autumn leaves carefully pressed and you have charming picture that does not seem to indicate that the melancholy days have come or suggest the naked woods and meadows brown and sere. '
 Another gladdening bit of color is ob. tained by taking a large. round flei0 pumpkin and cutting it into the shape of basket and filling it with fruit and nuts On the lace centerpiece under this is placed small branch holding several chestnut burrs with the nuts just falling out.
 The table decorations may be simple or elaborate, as yeu please, but should be in keeping with the occasion. The new est designs in floral decorations are to top the tables or arrange the flowers in ropes to form a canopy or umbrella. If you have taken forethought you can carry out this idea for decorations, using pressed autumn flowers Hothouse flowers, with the exception of chrysan- themums. do not strike one as quite av propriate.
 Lamp shades are made of paper leaves tinted to resemble the rich colors 'ofsthe autumn leaves. Other shades are exact but miniature copies of pumpkin Jack olanterns; the light shining through the apertures made to represent eyes, nose and the mouth, with saw teeth, gives a grOtesque effect.
