"John, what have you there?" inquired
Mr. Arlington, us lie passed hid servant
in the hail.
"A note for Miss Arlington," said
John, with a bo .v.
"Let me see it for a moment, " said Mr.
Arlington.
John gave him the note;
glanced at the writing, and
to the servant and said:
"Tell Miss Arlington I wi
in the library immediately."
John bowed and turned away, wonder
ing what could be the matter. Mr. Ar
lington entered the library, and shut the
door with a bang. Presently it opened
softly, and a young girl entered the room.
"What is it, papa.'"' she asked.
"Yes, what is it" he asked, angrily;
and, advancing, he g ive her the note.
"Head."
She took the note, read it, then gave it
back to her father, saying:
"It is trom Arthur Lee; he wishes to
escort rue to the opera to-night."
"iiut Have I not forbidden any com
munication between you and Arthur
Lee?" cried Mr. Arlington.
"les, father, you have, but I will not
obey you."
"Will not obey me?" said her father in
astonishment. "oay that again it you
dare !"
She was silent for a few moments, then
said :
"I'apa, I mean what I say
Mr. Arlington paced the floor in silence
for a f.rvv moments, and then, throwing
himself into a chair, said in a gentle tone
".uaud, what 1 say or ilo is tor your
own good, and you should consider it as
such."
"Papa, I do not mean to be disohedi
ent, but I will never marry a man I do
not love, and I will marry Arthur Lee,
and no other," said Maud, firmly.
"Maud, do not be so hasty; remember
lie is hut a poor artist, and cannot give
you the home that Harry Everett can."
"I want no better home than the one
Arthur can give me, ami as for marrying
Harry Everett," she said, scornfully,
"that I will never do."
"I will give you until to-morrow even
ing to decide," said her father; "you can
go now."
Maud left the library and retired to
her own room. Locking the door, she sat
down to her desk and wrote a few lines;
then calling a little boy, who was em
ployed in running errands, she gave him
the note, telling him to deliver it to Mr.
Lee, ami be careful not to let any one
about the house see it. The boy de
parted, going out the back w ay to avoid
suspicion. About nine that evening she
stole gently out of the hou.se and down to
the rivef side. A young man came for
ward to meet her us she approached.
"Maud, my darling!" he said, as he
claspeil her in his arms.
"Oh, Arthur'." she cried. "I have
something to tell you, but I must do it
quickly. Papa wishes me to marry Harry

"How long did he give you to consider

"Vou can go home ami get what few

Then kissing her tenderly, they parted
Maud hurried to her room and packed
a tew tilings in a valise. While tossin
over the contents of her drawer, she came
across a small rosewood box
"Oh, my vaelT she exclaimed. "I
had almost forgotten it!"
She set the box on the table, and tak

"Poor mamma," she murmured. "It
was her last gift to me
After gazing at it for some time, Maud
locked the box and very carefully packed
it away with her other things; then,
leaning her head on her hand, she fell
into a deep revery. Four years before,
when Mrs. Arlington lay on her death
bed, she had called Maud to her and
given her the box, saying:
"Maud, I want you to keep this in re
membrance of me. Do not remove the
vase from the box unless you are in need;
then you will find
But a severe tit of coughing cut short
the sentence, and half an hour later Maud
was motherless! So the mystery of the
vase remained sealed.
Presently dancing up at the clock,
Maud saw that it wanted but a quarter of hand, said:

after giving one farewell look at the
room where she had spent so many happy
hours. Arriving at the trysting-place,
she found Arthur there; and, after a few
moments' conversation, they entered the
carriage and were driven rapidly away.

Presently the girl returned, looking
rather frightened, and said that iuiss

a thousand fears and fancies, Mr. Arling

room. It was as Jennie Had said : me
room was empty; but on the stand was
a note directed in .Maud s iieiicaie writing
to himself. Opening it with trembling
fmgWs and a sense of impending evil at
his heart, he read as follows:
"Dexr Father: When you read this 1

"I am ever your loving daughter,
Maid."
"Oli, heavens, what have I done?" cried
Mr. Arlington, as he finished reading the
note and let it fall from his nerveless
grasp. "Wife and child lwth gone?"
" Then, rushing frantically from the
house, he hastened down to the river
side. On the bank he found a cape and
a handkerchief with her initials in the
corner. For many days Mr. Arlington
lay at death's door. His sister was sent
for, aud she came to keen house. He
.lid not die. but came slowly back to
life; but he was a changed man. Hith

toward those in his employ; but now his

Ku.Hsi.i in Turkey.
Of course the outside of the current
troubles in the East of Europe is all that
is seen by the world, but it is as well to
understand that Kussia really ojiened this
war in 1870, when the Czar notified the
subscribing powers to the Treaty of Pari
of 1856 of his determination to disregard
any further the eleventh and thirteenth
articles. That was the real opening of
the present campaign. England ami
Italy were obliged to assent, which they
did with a sullen protest, r ranee was
engaged at the time in war with Germany.
anil was therefore helpless. 1 he Czars
policy was to enfeeble Turkey by foment
ing disorders and insurrections among
her provinces. For a time all seemed to
go as the Czar wished; insurrection fol
lowed insurrection, reforms were neu
tralized by intrigues, the army was un
cared for, iroii-clads that were of no ser
vice absorbed immense sums of borrowed
money, and, to cap the climax, the direc
tion of the Sultan's affairs drifted into
the hands of one w ho w as Russia's unre
sisting tool. The condition of Turkey
was indeed deplorable. She had no cred
it, no army, no vigor of administration,
ami her subject provinces turned to Rus
sia for both alliance and protection.
But the fates have been against Russia
in working out her scheme to destroy
Turkey fro u the map. The May revolu
tion upset all Russia's plans. The Rus
sian Ambassador at Constantinople proved
not to be master of the situation. The
old Turkish spirit revived. The Ambas
sador was called to St. Petersburg.
Though Herzegovina succeeded in its re
actance to the Porte, Servia's attempt
has been a failure. The troops whom
Prince Milan has been fighting against
are not paralyzed by Russian influence,
as they were in the case of Herzegovina.
Russia apprehended this result, which
w as the reason why the Czar tried so hard
to restrain Servia from the conflict, width
has turned out so badly for the province
If Servia is to continue fighting now-,
Russia has got to show her hand by join

stand in the way of this, ami will so

On leaving the apartment the honest

The latter, after praising the servant
highly for his scrupulous integrity, de
sired him to accept the money, and to
keep the affair a profound secret, adding
that he should have no cause to repeut

At the end of the month the Count
d'Artois received his allowance as usual,
and watching the moment w hen he was
unobserved, hastily slipped the whole
sum into the hands of the protege. On
the same evening a child's lottery was

him up in his arms and kissed him, then
turned to his daughter, saying:

which was hoisted to the top of the Brook

week, and made fast to the anchorage in
that city, was yesterday towed across the
river and conuected with the New York
tower. The wire, or rather wires, were
coiled around a wooden drum, aud placed
on a scow. The scow was towed across
the river by the tow-boat Edward Anuan,
making the passage in eight minutes, and
paying out the wire as she moved toward
the New York tower. The wire was al
lowed to remain at the liottoin of the
river until the arrangements for hoisting
it to the top of the New York tower were
completed. A few minutes before noon,
everything being in readiness and the riv
er between the towers clear of vessels.
the wire connecting the New York and
Biooklyn towers was hauled taut. A
second wire was taken across the river
in the afternoon and placed in position.
Six other wires will be run across liefore
the cradles are made fast and the work of
building the temporary foot bridge com
menced. The stretching of the wires
was carried on amid the booming of can
non and the cheers of enthusiastic crowds
fathered on the piers on both sides of
the river.

may not be unprofitable to the many
grown-up ones who take a strange de
light in the painful exhibitions of men

old drunken man lying on a door-step
the nrespiration pouring from his face,
and a crowd of children preparing to
make fun of him. She took her little
apron and wiped his face, and then looked
up so pittifully to the rest, and made
this remark: "O, say, don't hurt him

Cook I so Riiru.viiii. Rhubarb is best
cut in lengths, boiled in water and sugar,
and served with boiled rice round the
dish; or it maybe treated like "goose
berry fool." A little good cream gives
it a delicate taste, which it never has in
pudding or tart. The following are ex
cellent recipes for making rhubarb j im or
marmalade: Cut the rhubarb as if for
tarts, and to every quart give one pound
of good moist sugar; put the sugar over
the rhubarb, and leave it twenty-four
hours to draw out the juice. By this
method the pieces of rhubarb remain

Charle I.' Death and Burial.
In January, King Charles was taken to
London, and there was tried and behead
ed, as you know. You and I have not
the time to inquire (ami perhap,betwecn
ourselves, are not clever enough to de
cide) how far this could have been
helped, or what excuse they had who did
it. Tho only thing wo can be sure of
was, that Charles was not a bad man,
nor Cromwell an ambitious hypocrite,
though I do not think the one was a mar
tyr, nor the other a spotless peer. It was
tin the 30th of January, 1719, that this
terrible event took place, and, after that
occurred tho saddest scene that old
Windsor ever saw. Four of tho King's
faithful servant (he had faithful servant
all through hi career), the "Duke of
Richmond, the Marquis of Hertford, and
the Earls of Southampton and Lindsay,"
requested leave to bury him, and t arried
the body back to the Castle. They took
with them that Bishop Juxon w ho attend
ed the King on tho scaffold, to read tho
service over him now. But tho Governor
of the Castle, who was a certain Colonel
Whitchcott,' would not allow tho Burial
K. rv5c. He told them that "tho Com-
mon Prayer-book had been put down,
and ho would not sufl'er it to be used in
that garrison when he commanded." You
will see from this that persecution was
not all on one side, but that whoever was
uppeimost in these violent times did his
best to crush his neighbor. Vou could
not fancy anything more heartless than
the Puritan's refusal to allow these heart
broken men to say holy prayers over
their king's aud their frieud's grave ex
cept, indeed, the refusal of that samo
king to let these Puritans live along with
hini in the native England which had
room for them all. Whcu tho faithful
lords found it impossible to change this
decision, tliey went sadly to St. Georgo's
to find a place to lay him, but found tho
chapel so bare, so naked, so altered that
it was only with hard ado that they found
a vault ill the middle of what had onco
been the choir where they could lay tho
King. Here thej found a littlo space for
King Charles, close by the great leaden
collia where Henry VIII. lay peacefully,
unwitting who was coming. The Duke
of Richmond marked out roughly upon
"a scarfe of lead" tho letters of hi name
and the date. Then, all in silence, at
three o'clock in tho January afternoon,
when ft was no more than twilight In the
cold and naked chapel, they carried tho
coflin. then covered with a black ball, ot
which "tho fouro lords ' carried tuo cor
ner with a forlorn attempt at state. As
they came down tho Castle inn toward
