which he had stolen from Wayland
The tangle of affairs is unravelled and
Amy is proclaimed as the Countess Of
Leicester.
At this revelation, Elizabeth Is be-
side herself with rage, declaring that
'Leicester's stolen marriage has cost
her a husband and England a king"
In the violence of her chagrin and
anger she forgets for awhile her roy
al dignity, and RECEIVERS command Of
herself only when Lord Burleigh
warns her that such weakness little

fatally shoots the drunken Lambourne
and conducts Amy to Gunner, where
she is confined in Fosters bedcham-
Der, a mysterious room connected by
g drawbridge, which she is admonish-
ed never to attempt to cross; but
when Tressilian come to take her to
Kenilworth, and she hears the sound
Of their horses hoofs, she thinks it
is the earl, and rushes from her room,
and Varney has so manipulated the

found dead in his laboratory and Tony
Foster disappears and his skeleton is
found long afterward in secret

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

ecnveniences In order to buy Liberty
Bonds. Yet how many Of these people
would say to-day that they are sorry
they made these Investments. Similar
sacrifices are just as necessary to-day
as they were during the war. The
country was in need Of financial help
then; and what was the nations need
then is your need to-day il you are
not practicing thrift
Saving money for future needs Or
opportunities is not q matter of what
you cant to do and cannot, but it Is
what you mast do at all hazards. 1t
Is as necessary to your future CON-
fort, happiness and success, and your
honorable duty to society as the air
you breath.
Those who are not practicing thrift
are going backwards. They arc using
their time, their health, their youth,
their energy, their opportunities, with
out securing anything but possible
superficial happiness In return
1t Is q positive fundamental weak
ness for any man or woman to say
that be or she can not practice thrift
Even though the amount saved be very
small, it Is a start in the right direc-
ton, and opportunities for more au-
pie savings will develop with the con-
tinuation OF these practices. Those
who are succeeding-who are getting
ahead in life, have thrift as the foun-
dation of their progress. Without it
there can be only retrogression and
unhappiness, II not ultimate ruin.
