Radaloff had no idea OF the con
tents OF the letter But when ina
had finished reading it he saVo the
"wniting" signal. and In response
to the single stroke of the bell enter
ed the office To meet the Countess
Karsichen, with the result ALREADY
described. In vain he attempted 10
explain to the countess that ne
found Ilda prisoner. she haN'hs
been captured In the Nihilist rem
dezvous. but the naughty and Insult
Ing manner in which he had been IN
terrupted each time he began MS eN'
PLANTATION, had prevented him RON
giving that important Information
Thus II was when Ilda entered her
presence the countess knew ro'hlhs
OF her arrest.
The two women stood face TO face
alone. Each measured the othrI
with n glance, and as their eyes met
there was exchanged look when
meant that hencefcrth and forever
these two were enemies to the death
For the moment however. the tee''
ing that controlled Ida BHrosSy was
one OF deepest love for the eN!lea
eather whom she was TO clasp 10 het
heart after the long and bitter years
OF separation. She cast an anxious
glance at the countess, who stood re
sarding her with n feeling OF bitter
est hate. Katherine saw before her
her deadliest foe. II was 10 this ElF!

Plea for an Offering.

There is a difference between an Of
fering and a collection in the mind OF
at least one well-known colored
preacher. who is persistent when he
announces that he wants money Tor
any certain object. Not a great while
ago. when 1t came time to announce
the collection, which is deposited on
the table in front of the pulpit In full
view of the minister. he said: II want
a offering dis morning and not col
lection. Maybe you don't know 1t, but
dere is a difference between collec-
tion and a offering. A offering is
what you give out of your heart and a
collection is anything dat is left over.
When you give offering dere is more
heart In 1t than dere is In a collection.
Remember, bredren and sistern. 1t Is
Offering dat want dis mawnin'."

on a Beautiful Day.

o unseen Spirit! now a calm divine
Comes forth from thee, rejoicing earth
and airl
Trees hills and houses, all distinctly
shine,
And thy great ocean slumbers every
where.
The mountain ridge against the purple
sky
Stands clear and strong, with darkened
rocks and dells,
And cloudless brightness opens wide and
high,
A home aerial, where thy presence
dwells.
The chime of bells remote. the murmur-
ing sea,
The song Of birds in whispering copse
and wood
The distant voice of children's thought
less glee,
And maiden's song, are all one voice
of good.
Amid the leaves green mass sunny
play
OF flash and shadow stirs like inward
The ships white sail glides onward far
Unhaunted by dream of storm or
strife.
