Baraka hardened because she did
not burst into tears. That was ALL
and there were barely five-and-twenty
lines of small print.
But the prima donna bit her hand
some lip and her eyes sparkled with
anger, as she put the cutting back
into the first envelope, and took the
folded letter out of the other The
girl had not only stolen ruby, but
1t was Margarets ruby, her very own,
the one Logotheti had given her for
her engagement, and which she had
insisted upon having set as a ring,
though 1t would cover more than half
the space between her knuckle and
the joint of her third finger. Further,
it had been stolen by the very girl
from whom Logotheti had pretended
that he had bought 1t, fact which
cast the high light of absurdity on his
unlikely story! 1t was natural enough
that she should have seen 1t, and
should have known that he was tax
ting It to Pinney's, and that she should
have been able to prepare a little
screw of paper with bit of glass
probabilities Of such an explanation
did not occur to Margaret, who saw
only the glazing fact that the hand
some Tartar girl had accompanied
Logotheti, between London and Paris,
disguished as a man, and had ulti-
mately robbed him, as he richly de-
served. She had imposed upon Van
Torp, too. and had probably tried to
sell him the very stone she had stolen
from Logotheti, and the one she had
made him take as gift was nothing
but a bit of glass, as he said it might
be. for all he knew.
She devoured Lady Maud's letter in
q few moments, and then read it
twice again, which took so long that
Mrs Rushmore sent Justine to tell
Potts to ask If Miss Dome did not
mean to go out that morning, though
the weather was SO fine.
Great singers generally develop a
capacity for flying into RACES, even
If they have not been born with hot
tenpers. 1t is very bad for the voice,
but it seems to be part of the life.
Margaret was very angry, and Potts
became as meek and mild as little
lamb when she say the storm signals
in her mistress face. She delivered
her message in pathetic and op-
pressed tone, like a child reciting the
collect for the day at q Sunday
school.
The prima donna, imposing as a
young Honess, walked slowly back
wards and forwards between her win
dow and the foot Of the iron bed
stead. There was an angry light in
her eyes and instead Of flushing, as
her cheeks did for any ordinary fit Of
temper, they were as white as wax
Potts, who was small woman
seemed to shrink and become visibly
smaller as she stood waiting for an
answer. Suddenly the lioness stood
still and surveyed the poor little jack
al that served her.
ASK Mrs. Rushmore If she can
wait half an hour" she said. I'm very
angry. Potts. and it's not your fault,
80 keep out of the way"
Margaret's wrath did not subside
quickly, and as 1t could not spend
ELF on any immediate object, 1t
indie her feel as If she were in a
raging fever. Her temples thrchhea,
hands trembled and were as hot

The DEADLY tiouse.FIy.

The Merchants Association Of New
York, says an exchange, are fighting
the common house-fy this summer
by issuing an illustrated booklet
offering proof in score of different
ways of the agency Of these pests as
spreaders of typhoid and other
germs. Numbers of weil-known
doctors have cited cases that came
to their knowledge in which the
house-fy was proved to be the means
of carrying epidemics. According
to this pamphlet, the fly has been re-
garded complacently as harmless
nuisance, and considered to be an an
noying creature, having great per-
sistence and excessive familiarity;
but, regarded in the light of recent
knowledge, it is more dangerous
than the tiger or cobra. Worse
than that, he is at least in our eli
mate more to be feared than the
mosquito, and may be classed the
world over as the most dangerous
animal on earth.
To prevent and check the breeding
Of flies, number of rules to follow
have been printed, among the most
important being the covering of ash
pits, manure-piles and other places
where refuse may be deposited. All
ash-pits should be emptied during
the summer months at least once ir
ten days; for. as soon as the refuse
begins to ferment, the flies will con-
gregate. The application of Paris
green. at the rate of two ounces to
one gallon of water, on either stable
or ash-pit refuse, will destroy ninety
nine per cent of the larvae; also
one per cent Of crude atoxyl, in wa
ter, will kill hundred per cent OF
fly larvae.
Compared with the ordinary wa
ter bacilli. which is known to carry
typhoid germs, the common house
fly is an army of diseases; for, al
though until recently it had beer
looked upon more as a tormentol
than anything else, it often carries
from $50 to 66, 600, 600 bacteria con
cealed about its person, always ready
to inoculate somebody whose power
of resistance is at a low ebb.

exchanging of engagement rings, which
are narrow bands Of plain gold, with
the initials of the betrothed and the
day Of the betrothal engraved on the
inside They are worn on the left
hand before and on the right after
marriage. Dutch engagements extend
over period of from two to five years.
During this time the young woman
gives up all nmusements in which her
