he took up hit pen tnd wrote thus:
"I Inclose you a note. Mist Eyre, from
the man Fenner. You will tee by that
that he engages to discontinue hit an
noyance of you, and to leave yon for the
future free and unmolested. And now,
before I leave England on my long voy
age, I pray of you to hear the appeal of
my heart to yours. Winifred, I love you
with all my tout, with the truest, deep
est strength of which passion it capable,
and I come to yon to decide my future.
My happiness, my misery, are in your
hands. It it for you to seal my perfect
bliss by consenting to become my cherish
ed wife, or to punish a fault born of love,
and to condemn me to a lifelong sorrow,
by driving me away from the sunshine of
your presence. Do not decide hastily. I
hall not leave thlt for a week, and if
your answer it what I scarcely dare to
hope it will be, I shall not leave at aU.
If yon cannot find it in your gentle, wom

Into the world tnd seek to forget the only
woman in the world I ever really loved."
When Winifred broke the seal, and read
Errol't letter, her first emotion wtt one
ef intense relief. Then, reading the avow
al of Errol't lore, for t moment her heart
relented to him, and a tad, fond recollec

worship made the teart ttart into her
eyes. Then her quick pride came to tne

Before Mr. Hastings left the Court he
made hit friend promise to play host
there in the shooting season during hit
absence; and on the last day of August
he was standing on the deck of hit beau
tiful yacht Oenone looking down into the
blue waters of the Mediterranean. Hit
thoughti were full of tenderness to the
woman who had scorned him.
"She it right," he said, "but I think, if

would have found it in her heart to for

A fortnight later Lady Grace Farquhar,
tv fltnt nf anhtlA Hinlnmacv. managed to
secure what she had for some time past
set her heart upon, and that was to prac
tically adopt Winifred Eyre as her pro
tege, if not at a daughter. She wat very
anxiout that Winifred should hare an
opportunity of being introduced to so-

Sir Cltxton't estate. Endon Vale teemed
to afford Lady Grace the opportunity.
Among those who would be present tor
the shooting, her nephew. Lord Harold
Erskine, who was quite taken with Flora
Champion and whom she knew that
young lady, in default of becoming Mrs.
Hastings, would only too gladly accept
With this trump card in her hand. Lady
Grace accepted a diuuer Invitation at
Hunt Manor, the home of the Cham
pions, and while there delicately, yet
plainly insinuated to Sir Howard tnd to
lira. Champion that unless Mrs. Cham
pion and Flora would drive with her to
Mr. Eyre't farm and second her invita
tion to Winifred to come to Endon Vale
there would be no invitation for Miss
Champion. Moreover, Flora would have
to bind herself to treat her cousin with
at least ordinary courtesy during their
tay in the tame house.
Sir Howtrd acceded readily enough to
this arrangement as long at he waa not
obliged to tpeak to his granddaughter,
whom he had never spoken to or even
seen in hit life or In any way to recog
nise herf ather. It was a bitter pill for
Mrs. Champion and Flora to swallow, but
the thought that If Flora did not go to
Endon Vale, Sir Harold Erskine might
possibly fall in lore and propose to Wini
fred, obliged them to give a grudging con
tent The young girl wat gathering roses In
the garden at the carriage from the
Manor drove up the road. She turned
way to the house. She could not bear
the contemptuous looks the Championt
catt on her at tbey went by. But then
he heard the carriage atop, and she look
ed back in surprise. The footman wat
letting down the tteps, and Mrs. Cham
pion wat descending, followed by Lady
Grace Farquhar. What could It mean?
The blood rushed to her face, and for
moment aha hesitated. Then she went
forward.
"You did not expect visitors so early,
my dear?" taid Lady Grace, kissing her.
"Mrs. Champion hat come to call upon
you."
Mn. Champion came forward and
hook handt with her, and uttered a few
polite commonplaces, which put Wini
fred at her ease. She had a great deal
too much tact to allude to the past In
deed, she behaved precisely at though she

other for the first time. .

both elegant and pretty, and that her

Lady Grace assented, and Winifred
made her acknowledgments very grace
fully. Then her guests departed, and she
waa left alone, wondering very much at
what had befallen her.
"A fortnight ago," she thought, "and
what haa happened yesterday and to-day
would have been the realisation of one
of my fondest hopes; and now now I
seem to care nothing for it To have

have been invited to atay with a great

have been a glimpse of paradise; and

CHAPTER VIII.
AU Lady Grace Farquhar't guests had
arrived, ssve one. That one waa Wini
fred Eyre. On the morning of the day
on which she and her couiia were to have
appeared at Endon Vale, a letter came
to Lady Grace, saying that Madame de
Montolien was seriously ill with an at
tack of bronchitis, and that until the
wss sufficiently recovered Winifred could
not leave her.
Miss Champion, of course, arrived all
the tame, and, If the truth must be told,
she wat very well satisfied with what
had occurred. The Idea of driving over
to Endon Vale with her cousin had been
most distasteful to her; and now that ahe
waa relieved from that unpleasant neces
sity the waa radiant and, aa her broth
er, who accompanied her, remarked, in a
moat unususily good temper.
The greater part of Lady Grace Far
quhar's guests were stranger to her.
Those she knew were Lord Harold E re
sins. Miss Alton, the Honorable Evelyn
Van and his titter. Aa the reader will
pass tome time In the company of the
j visitors at Endon Vale, it may not be
i superfluous to enter into a few particu
lars concerning them. Lord Harold Ere-
kine hat already been mentioned; to we
will begin with Mr. Franclt Clayton,
who from hit coutlnthlp to the host
claims priority of mention.
Francis Clayton waa a man who would
have completely baffled the researches of
those -estimable people who persistently
find good in everyone. There wat not an
amiable trait in hit character, nor a kind
action of hla on record; and yet he passed
muster in society, because he possessed
a certain degree of manner, and because
his income wat a very large one. He wat
not a man to charm women, and yet there
waa many a one who would have been
content to Ignore hit evil qualities and
take him for the take of hit rent roll.
Fraocit Clayton wat 37, and it wat hit
boast that he had never made any woman
an offer of marriage.
Miss Alton had been at Endon Vale
tome days, and wat a great favorite with
everyone in the house. Her aunt Lady
Marion, waa in Ireland, and at she wsa
not particularly attached to her prim old
grandfather and grandmother, whom her
aunt visited annually, ahe had been very
glad to accept Lady Grace's invitation to
spend a month with her. Marlon, or
Fee Alton, at her fond aunt hid chris
tened ber, wit the prettiest tprightllett
little coquet in the world. Her mother
nd Lidy Msrion were twin sisters, tnd
the former hiving formed in itttchment
for a handsome young captain In the army
whom her father would not hear of ran
off with him, and subsequently accom
panied him to India with hit regiment,
where she died. Two years after, her
handsome young husband caught a fever,
which carried him off in less than a week,
and then their two children were tent to
England. The elder, a boy, died on the
passage home, and the little girl was
received with open arms by her aunt at
a precious charge from her dearly belov
ed lister.
Lady Marion wat by thlt time married
to a baronet of considerable wealth, but
the hid no children; and when Sir Mar
maduke Alton died, ten yean after their
marriage, the title went to a younger
brother. He wat, however, able to leave
her a handsome income for her life, and
Lady Marion Alton lived in very good
atyle. She wat devoted to her niece, who
she Insisted should take her name; and
to prevent any inconvenience from their
both having the aame Christian name
Lady Marion rechriatened her pretty lit
tle niece Fee, and a very appropriate
name it waa.
At the time we write Fee Alton was
18, and Just through her first season. She
was small, but perfectly symmetrical ; it
was only envy that prompted people to
tay sometimes the wat nothing but an
animated wax doll. Everyone admired
and liked her, and ahe liked everyone in
return. She wat the life and soul of a
party, with her quick wit and keen sense
of the ridiculous, and If the wit a little
maliciout sometimes it wit Impossible to
be tngry with her, she wat always to
eager to atone for It.
At oppositet frequently attract each
other, the wat at the present time engag
ed in a desperate flirtation with Coi.
Iven d'Agullar, a tall, dark, melancholy
looking man (albeit decidedly handsome),
who wit very mnch In love with her. He
hid been all through tht Indian war, and
on bit return to England, looking very
this and worn, he wat made quite a bero
of by all the women, and looked bit part
extremely well.
I suppose that If two men from the op
posite poles had been brought together
under on roof, they could not have dif
fered more essentially than Col. d'Agul
lar and Mr. Clayton. One was generous
In heart and mind, chivalrous to women,
Irresolute, diffident In himself, and with
the courage of a lion; the other well, we
already know what Francis Clayton waa.
And yet these two men had something In
common a sentiment which In one was a
tender, chivalrous affection; in the other
a base, selfish passion. This sentiment
waa love of Fee Alton. For the first,
absolutely the firat time In hit life, Mr.
Clayton waa, at be confessed to himself,
In love-confounded ly In lore with a pret
ty, little, maliciout, teasing, impertinent
fairy, and could not help himself.
Lady Grace's guests included Mr.
Frale, a connection of ber husband's, who
had recently come Into a very good living,
but had strong sporting tendencies; Cap
tain Cullodsn, of the Guards, very plain,
quiet individual, with a good Income and
considerably let brains; and the Mon
orabl John Flelden, a universal and moat
accommodating genius, whe was always
harp? to repay hospitality by tnakiug
himself agreeable, and amusing the com
pany. These were the people whom Mis
Champion found assembled at Eudon
Vale, and I think her firat sensation on
being introduced to them waa a slight
chagrin at finding no great people among
them.
Winifred had arrived at Endon Vale,
and was sitting in her room, dressed for
dinner, until Lady Grace should come In,
as she had promised, and take her down
stairs Into th drawing room.
Mrs. Champion had been prevented
paying a visit to Lady Grace, as she had
intended ; but ahe, nevertheless, fulfilled
her promise of sending Winifred in her
carriage.
When the latter arrived ahe found her
kind hostess alone, all her guests being
away on an excursion to the neighboring
woods. They had spent a pleasant after
noon together, and just as the wheels of
the returning carriages were heard, l.ady
Grace sent her young friend away to
dress, promising to call for her on her
way to the drawing room. This she did,
nd when they eutered the drawing room
there was no one in it but Lord Harold
Erskine, who came up immediately to be
introduced.
"Harold." taid his aunt "I leave Miss
Eyre to your charge until dinner time, so
do your best to amuse her."
Lord Harold forthwith devoted himself
to being sgreesble to his new acquaint
ance, and tucceeded perfectly. She felt
quite at her ease, and chatted gayly to
him. Presently the door at the further
end of the room opened and a magnifi
cent young lady, attired in sweeping lac
and silk, entered. The crimson color
flushed into Winifred' cheeks as she
recognised her hsughty cousin. They
had never met since it had been agreed
the farmer's daughter waa to be noticed.

MAXIMITt IS SAFE TO HANDLE.
It Will Not Explode from Ignition
Insensitive to Shock,
Hudson Maxim, the tnventorof "Max
lmlte," which hat recently been adopt
ed by the United State Government,
gives a clear account of hit remark
able Invention In Frank Leslie's Popu
lar Monthly.
"Maxlmlte," he says, "which ha re
cently been adopted by the Govern
ment baa satisfactorily stood every test
to which it ha been subjected, and
there it none of the foregoing require
ments which it does not fulfill perfect
ly. It Is very Inexpensive of manu
facture; has a fusion point below the
temperature of boiling water; cannot
be exploded from Ignition, and, indeed,
cannot be heated hot enough to explode,
for It will bodl away like water without
exploding. It is, therefore, perfectly
safe to melt over an open fire for fill
ing projectiles. In the same manner that
asphalt Is melted In a street caldron.
Should the material by any chance
catch fire, It would simply burn away
like asphalt, without exploding. When
cat into shells It not only solidifies
Into a dense, bard, Incompressible mass
on cooling, but It expands and sets hard
upon the walls of the projectile, like
sulphur. That is to say, It expands In
the same way at water doe In freezing.
"When a shell filled with It strikes
armor plate, the Maxlmlte does not
shift a particle, and It Is so Insensitive
that It not only stands the chock ot
penetration of the thickest armor plate
which the shell Itself can go through,
but tt will not explode, even If the pro
jectile breaks up on the plate."
Style,
"And have you seen your little baby
brother yet?" inquired the caller.
"Yes," replied little Ethel Blugore,
"and I was so disappointed In It"
"Why?"
"Because It doesn't look a bit more
stylish than the one our washwoman's
got." Philadelphia Press.

MONSTER LOBSTER IS

that th claw wa about a hundred

Thinking It waa but lifeless relic
ot some specie belonging to age

sharp blow with th boe.
It proved to belong to the very ac

its claw on th offending weapon, th
lobster nearly wrenched It from Gray'
