"Ryle, Ryle; only love me forever"
Never had Lady Avon seen or suspect
ed aught of the case regarding her daugh-
ter and Mr.. Baumgarten.
The revelation came upon her with a
blow. 1t was Grace who, calling up her
courage, impaired it. Lady Avon went
into a storm Of anger; and then, finding
her commands and reproaches produced
no impression upon Grace for good, wrote
in haste for Lord Avon.
An awful thing had happened, and he
must come without a moments delay, was
what she CURLY wrote; and the word
awful" be it understood, was in those
days used only in its extreme sense, not,
as at present, in ridiculous lightness. Lord
Avon obeyed.
"Ah," he remarked as he sat listening
to his mothers tale. II can now under
stand that past capricious trick Grace
played. She must even then have been
in love with Baumgarten."
Lady Avon sat in bitter modification.
What is to be done2" she asked
1.-THE best plan, 80 far as can see, will
be to put a good face upon 1t, and let
her have him"
do you approve of him for your broth
er-in-law, prayT
mo, not altogether. My sister and
your daughter ought to have made a very
different match. But you know what
Grace is, mother; and circumstances alter
cases."
1t was the plan pursued. 1t was the
only pleasant plan, as Lord Avon had
put it, that could be pursued. For Lady
! Grace held to her own will, and opposi
ton would only have created scandal.

CHAPTER VIII.

One bright, frosty day in January,
when the icicles shOne in the sun and the
blue sky was cloudless, the open carriage
of Lady Avon drew up at the rectory
gate. After the marriage of Mr.. Baum
garten Lady Avon had occasionally at
tended Little Wilton church as hereto
fore, but Lady Grace never. She had al
ways excuses ready, and her mother
who had never fathomed, or even suspect
ed the true cause of Grace's caprice as
to the living-put faith in them. The
countess declined to alight, and Mr..
Baumgarten went out to the gate.

began she, as they shook hands.
Certainly not, IL you wish it," he re-
piled. "If l can render you any service
L shall be very happy to come"
Lady Avon lowered her voice and bent
toward him. II am not happy in my
mind, Mr.. Baumgarten; not easy. The

The Minister'S Wife
CHAPTER vII.-(Continued.)
BY MRS. HENRY WOOD

CHAPTER Continued
Later in the day she seemed little
Better; it was the rallying of the spirit
before departure. She knew 1t was de-
ceitful strength, but it put hope into the
heart of Mr.. Baumgarten.
"Ryle, If he should live, you will al
ways be kind to bm2"
Edith Kind to him Oh, my wife,
my wife" he uttered, with a burst of
irrepressible emotion, you must not go,
and leave him and me-"
She waited until he was calmer; she
was far more collected than he.
''You will love him?" she reiterated,
family; you will always protect him
against the worlds unkindness?'
'Ay; that 1 swear to you" he ardently
replied. And Edith Baumgarten breathed
a sigh of relief, and quietly lay back upon
her pillow.
Her voice, hardly to be heard at all,
was growing fainter and fainter. Her
husband thought it must be the faintness
attendant on death but for a short time
she seemed to sleep.
He sat on his arm beneath her neck,
his other hand held one Of her hands. All
was still so still that the ticking of
Edith's watch, lying on the dressing ia
BILE, was audible. About ten minutes had
thus passed when a slight cry from the
infant in the next room, followed by the
soothing hush of the nurse, fell upon Mr.
Baumgarten's ear.
"Ryle Ryle p
"My dear?" he breathed, vexed that her
sleep should have been disturbed.

dressed.
"The air is-oh, so sweet-and the light
at the far end so bright and lovely-ant
the fowers-look at the flowers they are
the flowers of Heaven and-and-oh
look look"
The tone, growing inaudible, had taken
a glad sound Of ecstasy; and with the
last word, the spirit passed away.
After the funeral of Mrs. Baumgarter
the parish nocked to Wilton Cottage tC
condole with their rector, and to see the
baby. He received them with quiet cour
sesy but the most sangulne sympathizer:
could not detect any encouragement fol
renewal of the visit. All that could
make life pleasant to Mr.. Baumgarter

Gradually he began to take notice Of

The old servant, Dinah, who had lived
with the Danes for years, took charge Of

Thus the months glided on to winter
the rector fulfilling all his duties as o
yore, but leading a very lonely life.

REDUCTION OF RATES.
Ferry Management Announces That
Straight Fare Will Be Five Gets.

Straight Fare Will Be Five Gets.
The managers Of the ferry line running
between this city and Alexandra have an
nounced a straight five-cent rate of fare
each way on the steamer Lackawanna,
which was brought to this city about ten
days ago to take the place Of the steamers
Woodbury. and Callahan. which had been
chartered for service on ferry routes to the
jamestown exposition, and which, it ia un-
dersto0d, will not be brought back to this
city after the exposition is over. The new
rate OF fare, and new schedule with trips
an hour and q half apart from am. to
6 pm. were both announced yesterday and
went into effect this morning.
This rate OF fare between the two cities
Is the lowest ever given. For thirty years
or more the rate Of fare on the ferry has
been Is cents for the round trip, or 10
been 25 cents for the round trip. The diff
ference in the rate between boat and rail
was arranged many years ago, SO that after
street car fare was paid by the boat pas
sengers 1t was but little less than that of
the cars, which landed passengers uptown
and within walking distance Of the big
stores and theaters. 1t is stated that an
other boat, named the Hoboken. sister
ship Of the Lackawanna. will be brought
here and placed on the ferry route in con-
nection with the Lackawanna should the
business justify 1t.
Whether the officials Of the electric rail-
way running between this city and Alex
andria will follow the cut in fare made by
the ferry company Is not known, but there
are rumors In circulation of something OF
the kind being done.

FINAL PERFORMANCE.

Another Large Crowd at the Circus
Last Evening,

The attendance at the circus last evening
was not quite as large as was the case
Monday night, but nevertheless nearly the
entire seating capacity was occupied. AL
though it was get away night" the pro-
gram was carried out in full Many of those
who journeyed to the grounds the opening
night and were unable to secure admission
were on hand and in line early last evening
Hundreds of little ones were in the audience
and thoroughly enjoyed the show, as did
their parents who have been going to the
circus for twenty or thirty years, lust to
take the children. The clowns attracted
as much attention as did any of the other
performers were heartily applauded.
While the big show was in progress the
tents of the side show and Of the animal
arena were taken down, and practically the
only thing to be attended to when the en-
tertainment which followed the big show
closed was the lowering of the large tent
That was securely packed away and on
cars almost before many Of those who at
tended the performance last evening were
in bed.
