An atmosphere surrounds a mtari-

for moment and look at the bare
facts. Seen from a poetic standpoint.
marriage is a union of two loving
hearts, the rapture of two souls dis

Excuse me, he said. I may be

pected that this behaviour of Eve was
what Walter had alluded to when he
begged her not to interfere. Walter
had seen Eve, and planned it with
her. Was she right, Barbara ked her
self, in what she was doing to help a
criminal to escape?
The money he had taken was theirs
Ewes; and if Eve chose to forgive
him and release him from his punish
ment, why should she object? Martin
was the brother of Jasper, and for Jas
per's sake she must go on with what
she had begun.
So she put her fingers on the keys
again, and at once Watt and Jasper
resumed their instruments. They
played the mu ic in Don Giovanni in
the last act, where the banquet is in
terrupted by the arrival of the statue.
Barbara knew that Eve was dancing
alone in the middle of the floor before
these men, before him also who ought
to be pacing up and down in front OF
the corn-chamber; but she would not
turn her head over her shoulder to
look at her, and her brow burned, and
her cheek, usually pale, flushed. AS
for Eve, she was supremely happy;
the applause Of the lookers-on en-
couraged her. Her movements were
graceful, her beauty radiant. She
looked like Zerlina on the boards.
Suddenly the boy dropped his bow
and before anyone could ARE t his
hand, or indeed had a suspicion OF
mischief, he threw a canister of gun
powder into the blazing fire. Instantly
there was an explosion. The logs were
flung about the floor, Eve and the
maid screamed, the piano and viOlins
were hushed, doors were burst open
panes of glass broken and fell clink
ing, and every candle was extin
guished. Fortunately the hall floor was
of slate

a red-hot cinder had alighted on his

The logs were thrust together again
upon the hearth, and the flame sprang
up.
No one was hurt, but in the door

Jordan signing it'll his hand but I'M

The Country Almanac for 1876 says:
Foul weather is no news; hail, rain
and snow are now expected, and
esteemed no woe; nay, it's an
omen bad, the yeomen say.
If Phoebus shows his face the second

The yeOmen say,
when candeImas day is come and
gone,
The snow lies on hot stone
Many farmers give the name of
grounding day to candelmas. This is
the day whereon the grounding awak-
ems from his alternating slumber, and
comes out of his hole to look at his
shadow If he find it, he hurries
back to his nest, to sleep again, know
ing that it is but a temporary meteor
logical change, which must speedily
be followed by renewal of wintry
severity.
But if the Sky be overcast, and the
sun oh cured, the day cold and cheer
less, then the grounding counts his
slumbers at an end.
A prOverb of old England is:
AS far as the sun shines on candIemas
day,
So far will the snow blow in before
May;
AS far as the snow blows in on can
dIemas day,
SO far will the sun shine out before
May.
A writer in the North We Church

Held to her heart her ldngly treas

Then to the temple brings her best,
Though yet too small for love tc

While waiting for his consolation,
Took in his arms the child and said.
He is the light to light the nations.

CHAPTER XII.
Another Sacrifice.

Watt was no longer in the hall.
Whittier he had gone none knew; how
he had gone none knew. The man in
the quadrangle was too alarmed by the
glass panes being blown out in his
face, to see whether the boy had
passed that way. But, indeed, no one
gave thought to Watt; the men ran to
the corn-chamber to examine it. A
lantern was lighted, the door examined
and found to be locked. 1t was unfas-
tened, and Joseph and the rest en-
tered. The light penetrated every cor
ner, fell on the straw and the onion
heap. Martin Babb was not there.
May I be darned!' exclaimed Jo-
seph, holding the lantern over his
head I looked at the walls. at the
floor at the door: I never thought of
the roof, and it is by the roof he has
got away
Indeed, the corn-chamber was un-
ceiIed Martin, possibly assisted, had
reached the rafters, thence had Crept
along the roof in the attic, and had
entered the room that belonged to the
girls, and descended from the window
by the old Jargonelle pear.
Then the constables and Joseph
turned on the sentinel and heaped
abuse upon him for not having warned
them of what was going on. It was in
vain for him to ,rotest that from the
out ide he could not detect what was
in process of execution under the
roof. Blame must attach to someone,
and he Was one against four.
Their tempers were not the more
placable when it was seen that the
botte of brandy had been upset and
was empty, the precious spirit having
expended itself on the floor,
Then the question was mooted

MAY BE MURDER.

ported. to Coroner TAYLOR this morning
when the body OF an unidentified white
man was found dead in a wheel pit
Of the blacksmith shop at 1890 East
Cary street. the victims trousers pOck-
cts having been CIT and turned inside
out. thus causing a suppositton that
the man was either murdered and
robbed or was frozen to Heath after
tearing his clothes by falling into the
hole.
Coroner Taylor said this afternoon
that he had not vet decided 10 hold
an inquest. but will do so If he has
any witnesses TO assure him that the
man met with violence for the pur-
pose of robbery.
The body was taken to Bliley's I'M
'dertaking establishment, where II was
viewed by a detective and other OH
GERS who are ct work on the case
1t Is the opinion OF the coroner that
the man was asleep under a carriage
top and that he was either showed in.
to the pit or rolled into it some time
last night and was frozen to death.
So FIR as had been ascertained
there is no mark Of violence on the
body. The victim was about fifty
