A Dead Past By MRS. LOVETT CAMERON CHAPTER IV. Margaret Grantlojr sat in the oak-pan- cieu morning room at Frierly Hall, mcas wring out yards of unbleached calico. The sunlight cano glinting through the diamond-panel oriel window and fell ' upon her spare, upright figure cased In solid black silk, ujon her pale, smooth hair, where never a tresa had been known to wander forth from its appointed place, and upon the regular, passionless fea tures that told of an upright and thor oughly well-regulated disposition. "And they do say, ma'am," said Han nah Dawson, who stood with yard meas ure and huge scissors in front of her mistress, ready to begin operations upon the creamy fabric; "they do say that poor misguided girl was running wild over the fields with this fine city gentle man, for three whole days and the best part of threo nights, when they were seen in the mooulight by half the men and boys out of the village." "Poor girl, it is very sad; we must re member that she has no mother, and that her lather is worse than nothing," said Miss tfrantley. "Far worse, ma'am, with his poor cracked head always a running upon them horrible beetles and fliesl As to the mother, poor thing, she was nothing to regret a village girl, so to speak, not a lady, by any means," "A doctor's daughter, was she not, Hannah?" "Yes, ma'am, but what's a village doc tor? You can't expect much from that poor child." "No; we must remember to be charita ble, Hannah," said her mistress gravely. "All I hope is," Interrupted Hannah, "that Mr. Roy may not get tangled up there. I'm sure master would break his heart, and It ain't in no way a suitable thing for a young gentleman like him." A slight frown contracted Margaret Qrantley's smooth brow. "There, that will do, Hanah," she said quickly; "fifty-six yards, did you say? How many shirts will that cut Into? I think you may take it all away and measure it out for me; I have some letters I ought to write now." She dismissed the old servant whose tongue was, perhaps, too free at times. The pale yellow heap at her feet was carried away, and the oak-paneled room was a shade more somber after it had Vanished. But when she was left alone Miss Grantley did not betake herself to her writing table; she sat quite still with her cheek upon her hand and with ji cloud upon her brow. Margaret Grantley had been the mis tress of her father's house ever since he had been left a widower, many years ego. She was the eldest of a once large family whom death had mown down one after the other, until only two were left the eldest and the youngest Mar garet was 34 and Roy was 20. The dif ference of age between them did but in crease the adoration, which was more that of a mother than a sister, with which she regarded her young brother. The boy was her idol her whole heart was fixed upon him, every hope and am bition of her life was entered in him. It was impossible for her idolized boy, the heir to old Frierly Hall and its Im poverished revenues, and to his father's old name, which somehow must be raised from poverty and not dragged further down by an imprudent match; impossi ble that he could be allowed to marry a half-trained, half-educated child who had no name but the reflex of her fath er's talent, and no fortune save the very problematical savings of bis life of hard brain labor. Roy must marry for wealth and for position; he could not and should not marry Kitten Laybourne. Whilst she was pondering over these things, a shadow darkened the window, and Roy came in from the garden with out His face looked gloomy, he flung himself down irritably into an armchair, and his pleasant, boyish face looked cross and disappointed. "Where have you been, Roy?" queried Margaret, gently. "On a wild goose chase," he answered, fiercely. "You have been to see Miss Lay bourne?" "I have." "And you have not seen h'er?" "I have not" The answers seemed to be wrung from him, they were so savagely growled forth. The ghost of a smile played about Miss Grantley's thin lips, she forqbore to raise her eyes from some trifling object she had taken from the table at her elbow. "The young lady, my poor boy, has found other friends since you have been away." "Other friends? What friends " he started forward excitedly, with a flushed face aud angry eyes; "she has no friend but me." "You poor, silly Roy! Young ladies are never constant Ypur village beauty has been seen about all day in the woods for days with a stranger a handsome man, I am told. The poor child knows no better, of course." "Who dares .say so!" 'thundered the boy furiously. "It is not like you, Mar garet, to repeat a wicked slander against a fellow woman; I would not have be lieved it of you, that you could be so Cruel, so uncharitable!" And Margaret, in her still prim silk gown, cowered and trembled before him like a shriveled leaf; to hear such words uttered by the voice one Joves best on earth Is almost worse than a deathblow to a woman. "I have not deserved this from you," ehe gasped, shaken al lat once out of the quiet decorum of years. She cov ered her face with her hands. Oh, that euch cruel words should have been said to her by' her boy, for whose good she had spokeul ' And then Roy's heart, which was as warm as his temper, went out to the stetar who had been as a mother to him. la a jaoaient he was down at her feat with bis arm cast round her waist ' "0W, Margaret, I did uot mean to hurt ran, fcHt what you said was cruel; you is W kaow Kitten, and you canapt kw ih, or yw would sot hare M IMMh a tUa" Poor, misguided Margaretl It was not in her to take her boy to her heart, to nestle his fair, curly head In her arms and to kiss away the anger out of his nonost gray ejres. "I must no't elve wnv" nht nnM tn herself; "if I lot him think me weak he will never respect mo, or look up to me again J I should lose my Influence with him." So all she said was: "Young people are always unjust, Roy, but if ion are sorry for your wild words, I win say no more. All I meant was that It will bo better for you to think less or. Miss Laybourne, who Is In no way suitable to bo your wife. "I cannot think Jess of her because she la nil t)m n "Neither your father nor I will ever hear of it. It is your cousin Felicia whom you must marry, she is an heir ess and a woman of talent and educa tion. Your uncle Is ready to give her to you, so that the money and the bar onetcy" may be united. Your father de sires It earnestly! as to me, It Is the wish ot my heart. Felicia is young and hand some and clever; she unites all that can be wished for in herself it is to her that you must look for a wife." "As long as I livo and as Kitten Lay bourne lives," cried the young man pas sionately and wildly, I will have no other wue but her." CHAPTER V. All the flowers were dashed and drag' gled. Three days of wind and rain storms had beaten the hearts out of the roses, their petals lay scattered, dnnk and ragged upon the sodden earth. The birds had fgorgotteu to sing, the very sunshine, as it crept out timidly from behind the rain clouds, looked pale and sickly. And a week ago I was happy! cried Kitten aloud, as she leant out of her casement window. "A week ago the world was all golden, a good place to live in, the days were so full and so short, and now they are empty and, oh, so long!" "Kitten, Kitten," cried a voice In the garden below her, "why will you persist in shutting yourself upstairs? Come down to mo .Kitten, I want to see you no much." . Roy Grantley stood beneath her on the wet grass, his fair curls wet with the rain, his face ruddy with the wind, his blue eyes shining with delight because they had caught sight of her at last "It is raining," said Kitten without moving. "No, It has left off; besides you can, at least, come into the verandah and talk to me. Oh, Kitten, it is more than three weeks since I have Been you!" "Is It? It seems like three days." She left her window and came down to him in the verandah, as he had said. Old Keziah was a stickler for propriety, and would not allow young Mr. Grant ley admittance into the house while her master was away. "Why did you shut yourself up all these days that I have tried to see you? What were you doing? Who were you writing to?" "To nobody. I was turning the 'Es say on Man' into prose." "I don't believe that; may I see It?" "I have torn it up. Besides, you would not understand It Boys don't care about that kind of thing." "I wish you would not always call me a boy, Kitten," he said rather sadly. "I am twenty one is no longer a child at my age; I shall soon be twenty-one, then I shall be a man, and I shall come and tell your father that I love you." "What would be the good of that?" said Kitten, calmly pulling a Cape jes samine flower ruthlessly to pieces with her tiny finger tips. "You know I do love you," he persist ed, bending down to look Into her face. "I have heard It very often," she an swered, with cold indifference. "You are but a child, dear," he re plied, very softly and tenderly. "You do not understand yet what love means, but as you grow older you will know and feel it; and then, Kitten, that cold little face of yours will light up when it meets mine, your heart will glow with Joy when It hears my footsteps, will ache when it listens in vain for it, and all the world will seem desolate to you when I am not there; that is what you will feel by and by. Kitten, when you are older." She laid her hand upon his sleeve. "Is that what love Is like, Roy?" she asked him eagerly. "That craving for some one who is not there, that sick iong Inir for the sound of one voice, the sight of one face, without which all the sun-, shine seems gone out of the heavens?" "Oh, you know It, you know It!" he cried, clasping her hand in both his. "Dear Kitten, yes, that is love, and that is how you felt for ine when I was away?'! "For you are you mad, Roy?" She wrenched away her hand angrily; "I feel that for you! I long for you?" She had no pity, she did not even guess that she made him suffer. Ho looked at her blankly. "But how, then, do you know It? Why should you have described these things If you have not felt them? Surely, surely you said that because that Is what you thought -when I was away?" "Ah, can nobody bo away but you?" she cried angrily, and then because she was but a child after all, the tears rush ed in a torrent from her eyes and she turned away hastily from him to hido them. , . Then Roy began to understand. There was some one else! He remembered his sister's words; he had,, scoffed at them and disbelieved In them at the time, but now they came back to his memory. Ho turned very white and stood quite still for a few moments, while the first storm of the hideous agony called Jealousy swept across his young heart Then, presently, he followed her; she stood at the other end of the flower-bloaaoming veranda, stripping the tiny green leaves off a long spray of Banksla roses. "Kitten, I have, bean vary dense," ha said with forced calmness, "I was cer tainly told of a stranger who had been staying here while I bare beea wy a Mead of yoar father, who walked afetit tke garde ta4 the laaea wkk ye for a few days; but It never struck me till now that this chance acquaintance could be more to you more than I who have known you and loved you all your life " His voice broko n llttlo over tho words, Kitten turned away her face and was silent "It seems that I am mistaken," ho said wistfully, framing tho words that should havo been an assertion uncon sciously Into a question. No nuswer. Oh, how ho longed to hear her refute with tho Indignant denial of affection tho charge which he made ftittlust her! Why did she not turn round eagerly and cry: "Oh, Roy, Roy, you aro first and dearest always!" But sho said nothing, only stood with averted eyes, stripping tho little green branch she held in her fingers; the tiny pointed leaves dropped to tho ground ono by one, just like Roy's own hopes and longings, lying there prone, ready to dlo and with er at her feet "No one will ever lovo you as I do," he said at last, very bitterly; "If ho has told you so" She turned away from him and went back Into the house through the half open window that stood behind them. Roy went away slowly and sorrowfully; ho was unhappy, but he was young, and consolations come easily to tho mind of a man who has jiis llfo before him. Meanwhile, Margaret was not a worn ,an to let tho grass grow under her feet. When her young brother had made that passionate speech to her three days ao it had seemed to Miss Grantley that the time had come when something must be done to put a check upon the headstrong passion of a boy who was ready to rush upon self-destruction. When Roy had left she went straight Into her father's sitting room. Sir Hugh Grantley was an old man, and n very selfish old man. When his daughter knocked at his library door, he was asleep dozing In his great nrmchalr by the side of the fire, which even In June he caused to bo lit upon a damp or sunless day. He looked up Irritably as she entered. "Dear me, Margaret, how you startled me; what do you want?" Her presence usually betokened somo business of an annoying nature. "You were, asleep, father? I am sor ry. But I came to speak to you about a serious matter about Roy. He has ex pressed to mo a very decided opinion about that little girl of Mr. Laybourne's at the White Cottage. Ho says he will marry her." "Bother these children; what a nui sance their love affairs ore! What Is the good of you, Margaret, if you can't stop it! Women ought to manage these mat ters." "So I can stop it, If you will let me. Let me ask Uncle Gregory and Felicia down here." The old man -frowned. "Your uncle would not enjoy himself. Mrs. Knox can't cook for him. He had a French cook once, his name was nyaclnth. Great heavens! what a cook that man was! His Boups were poems, his entrees a dream! His sauces were incomparable! Gregory Is used to all that, he's a rich man. l m a poor one. now can i asg him down here to be poisoned by Mother Knox and her heavy-handed experi ments." "But Felicia, father! Has not Uncle Gregory Bald that he would consent to her marrying Roy? Think what a fa mous thing it would be for him. She will have so much money, and Roy will have none. She is handsome and liveTy, ho likes her already. If she were to stay In the house she could soon put this village girl out of his head. Ho can t marry her, can he?" "Marry a village girl? What fools you women are! Oh! send for Gregory's girl if you like, but you bad better send too for somebody from town to cook for your uncle, if he comes. I do wish, Mar garet, that you would not worry mo In this way," he added whlnmgly. "Father, surely when It Is a matter of Roy's prospects in life you ought to tako some interest," said Margaret reproach fully, almost contemptuously. Tho feeblo old man and his selfishness called forth no chord of sympathy in her cold hea When Roy came back three days later, heart-sore and wounded from his inter view with Kitten, Margaret met- him smiling on the door step, and said to him: "Go change your wet clothes, Hoy, and come Into the drawing room. Uncle Gregory and Felicia are here!" (To be continued.) Fad for Spurious Gorns. This is the day of the manufactured or imitation Jewelry. It la said tho sale of genuine jewelry in New York has suffered from the trade. For some time past It has been possible .to ob tain Imitation Jewelry in Franco and England which is difficult of detection by experts. The principal manufac turers deal in Jewels of their own man ufacture, -which are extraordinarily fine Imitations of tnc real stones ana win have a life of twenty years. Tho "dia monds" are a composition of glass, lead and carbon tipped with platinum, which is harder than gold. Every real stone except n diamond Is transparent. Without the tip of plati num these "diamonds" would also be transparent, but with It they are given an undetectable resemblance to tho genuine stone. These "gems" aro mounted in 14-knrnt gold, and ho well that when worn the platinum tipping cannot be seen. An infinite variety or designs, copied from the best real models, are shown, and nt a price 80 per cent less than tho genuine. Ail the colored stones ruuies, cmeraias, sapphires and turquoises are also manufactured and are similar In ap pearance, The turquoise is so nam that tho surface can- bo filed and no blemish made on the stone. Ah cenuine neals are the most costly iha Imitation nearls tako tho VJ- IWMKFf ... . lead In price. They are made of fish-1 skin and a secret composition, xne manufacture of some especially good Imitation pearls, known aa "Venetian romrl."

Both tho Presby terian aud the Methodist Episcopal churches are considering their marriage ritual, and nt the same time the French Parliament through one of Its committees is listening to arguments on the same Hubject. All tho recognized American marrlago services contain tho word "love," which tho French legal ceremony omits. The debute on the American form Is whether to lenve out the word "obey" In the responses given by tho woman. There nre advocates of both forms, the "love, honor and obey" and tho "love, honor nnd keep" or "love, cherish and honorl" The word "obey" exists In tho old English mnrrlngo service, where the obedience was not only promised, but Insisted upon. In modem matrimony, although the wom an promises to obey, it Is usually not long before she shifts the fulfilment of thnt particular promise upon her husband nnd lets him do the obeying. Marriage is a solemn undertaking and the most Import ant contract either a man or a womnn can enter Into. It is well thut Its phrasing should be seriously dlHcussed, and It would be n great deal better if people who do not hon estly and sincerely Intend to carry out their agreement In botli letter and spirit should not repent tho words as bo many Bounds without meaning.

I was driving lu a buggy with n friend through one of the finest of Lucknow's streetn, on tho way to tho palace, when wo suddenly noticed the deserted condition of that part of tho city. No Inhabitant was to bo seen in any direction. "Some execution," wo whispered. Just then we camo upon tho body of a woman which looked as If It had been trampled to death on tho pave ment. On we went. No citizen was in sight, and the houses everywhere were closed. Tho next thing we saw was the figure of u youth, lying dead upon the rond. On the top of n neigh boring house I spied one of the king's troopers, intently looking up tho road. "What is the matter?" I cnlled. 'The man-eater Ih-Ioobc. Wallah! ho has turned. Look out for your safety, sahibs. He Is wild to-dny." I had heard of the fierce animal owned by the troopers, "He Is coming! Take care!" shout ed tho man. Far ohead wo could see the brute, a largo bay horse, coming toward us. He caught sight of tho vehicle, nnd rushed forward to attack. Wo turned rapidly round, and our horse, almost unmanageable from terror, flow over the road. Awny wo went in n bad gallop to ward an enclosure with Iron gates. As we sped we could hear the furious clatter of hoofs growing nearer and nearer. We gained the gates; my com panion leaped from the buggy and closed them. The monster rushed up and stood looking savagely, his nos trils distended, his glaring eyaballs as ferocious aa any wild beast's. ne saw that he was foiled, turned, kicked the Iron ban, and made for as archway, where a part f troopers was awaiting him. They skillfully noosed tho brute, muzzled him, and led him awny. Thnt evening I mentioned tho Inci dent to the king. "I linvo often heard of tho man-eater. He must be a furious beast." "More savago than a tiger, your majesty." . "A tiger! Good! Ho shall fight n tiger. Wo will see what Impression Uurrhea will make on him. Hurrlicn was a favorite tiger, and had never been allowed to enter a con test In which lie could not conquer. The next duy we all assembled In n courtyard to see the light. The mnn eatcr was standing lu a grent enclos ure made by bamboo rails. Hurrhen's cage was brought, and tho beautiful creature was let loose. The man-enter fixed his eyes on tho tiger, lowered his head, nnd waited. The tiger bounded with rapidity, nnd landed on tho horse's haunches, Up went the iron heels, and Uurrhea lay sprawling. After this the tiger was more cau tious. Round' nnd round the euclosuro he went with cntllko trend. For fully ten minutes he kept up tho march, then, quick as lightning, sprang. Tho man-cater was ready, and ducked his head low. Uurrhea leaped to his back, nnd In an Instant tlioso torrlblo Iron heels wero lashing up and down, Tho tiger was thrown helplessly to the ground, and lay with broken Juw, crying out with pain. Tho king gavo n signal, tho door of tho cugo was open ed, and tho poor, defeated Uurrhea rushed in and buried himself In tho furthest corner. Tho man-cator stood, orect and triumphant.
