 May, Trutfeni, for though I lay , secure, sleep I could not-knowing the threat to my lady groweth hourly and must be at hand. And now God bless thee, Truffeni, noble friend!'
 So saying, he arose, turned and strode away, but, glancing back, saw old Truffeni gazing after him with troubled eyes.
 And now, having much to think upon, he went at leisure pace, lost in uneasy speculation of what the pregnant future should bring forth. Another 24 hours and, if all went as planned, his innocence would be established, his honour vindicated.

Chapter 37
A DEEP, DARK POOL

Thus it befel that just before the church clock chimed 10, Captain Despard was cautiously approaching the old mill. In the stiffness of the night he gaxed upon it's ruins and the deep, dark, silent pool beyond it.
 For some while he stood thus motionless; then, hearing a faint rustic within it's foreboding gloom, he stepped forward, hand on sword. Suddenly from behind leaped two dim forms with arms aloft, merci- less arms that fell only to rise again.
 Captain Despard reeled blindly, uttered a groan and, swaying aside, plunged over and down-doWn into the hungry deeps of that sombre pool
 Upon the banks crouched two who peered at these waters that swirled. rippled, Tapped sleepily and, growing placid again, showed noth- ing to mar their deathlike serenity save bubbles that rose and van ished.
 A long, breathless moment and then the watchers turned from the ghasily silence of that murderous pool and fled in headlong career but, even while the sound of their | flight yet filled the air, these sul- len waters echoed to a second hol- low plunge -.
 And, after some while, above the grassy verge rose a desperate hand that clutched and clawed until i. had secured firm hold and up-uf from these merciless waters strug- gled dripping, gasping shape that , dragged behind it a heavy burden
 And there began bitter contest between Death and Life, a battle
 that ragged, grimly unremitting un' til at last was faint sigh, crok' Ing gasp, SrOall Thus then, outstretched upon th'
 messy turf, battered and all bu . drowned, Captain Despard cam 1. back to life and, opening vagu' : eyes, stared up at very strang'
 face whose draggled, gypsy seeming hair was oddly punched upon on
 ear.
 How are you now?"
 "Alive!" gasped the captain

 "Angela?" he sighed. By heaven she's a saint, Helen"
 My lady stopped to turn and look l back.

 "Eh-the gardener fellow? I'll see he's sufficiently rewarded-ay, I will"
 So Helen came safely home with Angela's name sounding in her cars repeatedly, but before her men tai vision a face marked wit h blood, grim m-smiling, shadowy, and framed in curly, gypsy-black hair cafe that stirring memory, was to follow her to bed and haunt her slunberS.

May Is. 1S6I.-All sorts of wild
rumors were in circulation here today
in consequence of the first advance Of
Union troops across the river into
Virginia, which began yesterday morn
ing About / o'clock this afternoon q
telegram from the Virginia end of the
Long Bridge announced that the New
Jersey troops on che Virginia side had
been attacked. Immediately afterward
three guns were fired-the signal for
all troops here to get under arms.
In q quarter OF an hour many de-
tachments were assembling at their
quarters in this city and some had
started for the Long Bridge. Gen.
Mansfield fastened at full gallop across
the bridge on receiving the tnforn1a-
ton, and instantly aides and orderlies
were in motion toward the encampment
and barracks of the various troops.
The truth began to be known when
messenger reached The Star ONCE
about 2 o'clock this afternoon direct
from the encampment and entrench-
ments of the 18th New York Regiment
on the Virginia side. He reported all
quiet here at that time.
Nearer the Long Bridge this messen-
ger passed the camps of the New Jersey
regiments upon which the attack was
said to have taken place. He saw them

which were apparently based upon
nothing more substantial than the COM

On the Long Bridge the messenger
passed flying detachments Of artillery
and other Union troops Fastening over
to the scene Of the alleged battle. The

Everyday Psychology

Sometimes the Imagination serves
valuable ends. All the great inventions,
such as the steam engine, the cotton
gin and the airplane. are products of
their inventors imaginations. The In
ventor In every case was for long
time working out in the abstract the
details for q more pleasant situation.
After the plans were all formulated he
reduced the formula to concrete terms,
and the machine or whatever 1t was
became reality.
The principle involved this: The
inventor was trying to escape some I'M
satisfactory condition or situation To
put 1t another way, he was In quest of
pleasure.
Every one, from q psychological point
OF view, Is an inventor. The most hui
man Of all human traits Is to seek pleas
ure. Sometimes the quest for pleasure
Is pursued for It's own sake This is
called day -dreaming-a function of the
imagination which has no end or pur-
pose beyond the mental satisfaction of
the moment.
Children use their imaginations for
this selfish, momentary pleasure a great
deal They get the habit OF living in a
world of day-dreams, when they are
continually confronted with difficult
situations. Day-dreaming Is an escape.
These childish habits. like all habits,
tend to stick. So 1t comes that adults,
who ought to know better will some
times lapse into childhood ways CT seek
ing pleasure, especially when ion;pen-
sating for disappointments or reverses.
