Many who have climbing vines
around the house have set varieties
that ought not to have been planted
The climate may be too cold for GER
tain tender vines, and it will be i'm
possible to winter them with success.
The best plan is to have vines that
are entirely hardy in your climate.
The honeysuckles, the American ivy
and most of the heavily wooded sorts
are hardy, or so nearly SO that they
need only a mound Of earth around
the base to carry them through severe
winters. The clematis family is read
lily protected, as the tops usually die,
so that only care Of the roots is
needed, which is readily given by the
mound of earth, and over this some
coarse half-rotted manure free from
straw.

end, and settles the loss of friends

Joseph Conrad, writing in the London

many homes ashore, and opens the
door fer speculation in the market of
risks. Within the memory of the pres

CHAPTER xxx.

It WAS h wild night. The wind howl
ed mcsHnfuily through the passages and
corridors of the house down in Essex,
swaying the shivering poplars, stripping
them of their leaves, and sOughing
among the branches. Heavy masses of
cloud drifted rapidly across the sky, and
large drops Of rain battered occasionally
upon the dry leaves. At times, the
moon broke forth in ftful radiance, but
only to render the succeeding darkness
deeper There was terrible spirit
abroad that night-a spirit of destruc-
ton on land and sea.
Before the fire in his sOmber bedroom
sat Silas Carston, watching sadly the
Pickering flames blown about by the
draught that came roaring down the
huge chimney. He was alone; the nurse
had been removed. and his door securely
locked. Dark and despairing were his
thoughts, and over all there lowered the
spirit of the night, boding death.
In the chamber above him, watching
the tempestuous changes of the sky,
with her eyes, but not with her mind,
sat Clara, sad, dreary, hopeless, at the
mercy of her enemies. She also was a
prisoner fast secured, and over her
brooded the spirit Of the night, boding
death.
In the kitchen below sat two female
servants covering over the blazing FIRE,
shuddering at the bowling wind, and
'.supping full of horrors on ghost
stories.
In small room upon the same corri-
dor in which Clara's apartment was sit
uated. sat the Rev. Mr.. Porter. trying to
drown dark memories and stupefy re-
morse, the specters still floated upon the
surface, ana The worm gnawed cease
lessly He shivered and looked around,
and then crept closer to the cheerful fire.
Over him lowered the spirit of the
night, boding death.

there was something in the callous-heart-

that made his blood run cold. Added to
which, he did not feel by any means GER
tain that the telegram had not fallen into
his hands. If so, what then? He shud-
dered at the thought.
Before the dinner was half over,
strange, drowsy sensation began to steal
over him. Ten minutes more. and he
had fallen senseless from his chair unto
the floor.

gently upon the couch, and then tell
John to put the mare int the dog-cart.
I'll drop the gentleman into his home

shall not require any one with me-
About o o'clock Montgomery, still in
sensible, was lifted into the dog-cart.
Mr.. Rodwell took the reins. and drove
away But not in the direction of Cam
den Town; on the contrary, he made
towards the open country, taking the
same road that Montgomery had travers-
ed in the opposite direction few hours
before. He stopped at a wooded, soli-
tary spot about half mile off the road
way, and, about three miles from the
Manor House, embarrassed the mare,
took out a saddle and bride that he had
concealed in the boot, and, by the light

Married UnaWAres.

An astonishing story of involuntary
marriage is brought to England by the
steamer Anyersville, which has just
arrived from the Congo.
The Belgian officials declare the in.
cessant risings in the Congo Free State
to be due to the missionaries, and they
are alleged to lose no opportunity OF
making things uncomfortable for these
self-sacrificing evangelists.-

lady and two gentlemen, .Mho were
present at the deathbed-traveled to
the nearest state post to report the
matter to a Belgian official.
This official professed to be unable
to speak any language but Flemish
which none of the party understood.
He made them repeat after him in
Flemish what they believed to be a
declaration as to the cause of death,
and then swear to it and sign 1t.
A week later they discovered to their
horror that the document they had
signed was not a death return, but q
marriage certificate, and that the lady,
who is over fifty, had been legally
married to the younger OF her two
companions.-London Express.
