CHAPTER v.

Mr.. Carter Breaks the Matter Gently.
In less than two weeks the injunc-
ton was removed from the bank,
bondsmen paid the sum for which they
were obligated, and matters rapidly
took on their usual aspect.
Mr.. Carter and his partner were do
Ing well at the mill, but it could not
be denied that the loss of money and
Vane's detection were hard to bear.
Plying his niece deeply, he could not
bear to add to her grief by telling her
of the terrible suspicious entertained
now almost universally, and SO he sat
generally quite silent at his meals,
spending his remaining time at the
office, under the plea, correct enough,
of press of business.
But n day he decided to tell his
niece the whole matter, and so after
tea one evening he sat down in his
arm chair beside her and said, "Are
you too busy to talk a little to-
night?"
Il am always busy, for l find so
much to do, and l want to get every
thing in order before Vane comes.
But am ready to talk with you, for
you have seemed too tired lately for
conversation. You have really earned
a rest, and when Vane comes | am
sure he will insist upon your taking
it,"
Constance" he said gravely, "has
1t not occurred to you that your hus-
band may never return"
He isn't dead! You don't mean to
tell me that?" she cried in a sharp,
wild voice, clasping her hands and
looking at him with wide eyes and ter
rified gaze.
mo, no, child, | don't near that, but
maybe it is as bad"
"As bad! Nothing could be as bad
as to lose my husband, uncle. | could
better lose all else besides. have
thought about it a great deal since he
went away, and l am convinced that to
lose Vane would kill me-"
"Oh, come, now, Constance, |
wouldn't go on like that. Women's
husbands die every day, and they don't
feel like that; the most of EN- get
married again. | only wish your hus-
band was as we'll off as theirs"
las well off as theirs-dead! What
do you mean, Uncle Carter?" said Con-
stance, rising with indignant face,
crimson where it was pallid before.
Are you crazy?"
"You will make me crazy, Constance.

graceful undulations doing away to
some extent with the absurdities of
hats, designed to be conspicuous. Vel
vet is also factor in millinery, partic-
ularly in the "high back" effects,
where it is combined with flowers of
several kinds. Large roses are well
adapted to shapes turning up at one

That Beautiful Accessory,
the parasol, now comes with renewed
beauty and variety. Myriads of plain
silk parasols in different styles, are
suitable to the shirt-waist suit, the
novelty however is the "suit-case par

certainly great convenience. Check
ed parasols with lowered silk borders
are in keeping with the present rage
for checks, and one style of elegant
plain silk parasols have cut jet bead
or steel bead handles, some being fin
ished with a large knob.
The Lingerie Parasols
while affording no genuine protection
are very pretty, and range from
those of simple muslin edged with EN-
