p gound by a Spell CHAPTHH XIII. It was the day that I was to ls Clara. I woke with the dawn. For tho Brat time In my life, I took pallia with my toilet. I carefully brushed my- Iml m dttleront ways, trying which was th more becoming. Hut with all my pains. l cm but it very sorry figure. "Dear me, how spruce yon look this morning! d Martha, as I came down to breakfast. "And aulte elated, too!" Before II) o'clock t was In the neigh borhood of her house. It was too early to go there yet; so I lingered aliout for time. How very awkward It was tha I had no knowledge of her name! I hail quits forgotten to nsk It. As tho tlnn drew near I began to feel nervous. church clock struck eleven as I timidly knocked at the door. I was answered by a stout, good tempered looking old lady. ion hare a young lady staying here, I began, in a hesitating tone. "Oh, you are the young man that Miss t iara expects, I suppose. Saying which the old lady deliberately drew pair or spectacles out of her pocket, and ad Justing them, carefully scrutinized me. My appearance seemed to satisfy her. for she said, in a more friendly tone, alk in, young man; Miss Clara will be with you directly." She showed me Into a neat little par lor. Upon the table were several water- colored drawings, some finished, some un finished; also some Berlin wool work. Ilonquets of Sowers wtx everywhere; upon the table amidst the work, upon the mantelpiece in two rases, upon a little tajHl facing the window, and upon the cottage piano that stood In a corner. The air was loaded with their perfume. In few moments the door opened and Ulsra came Into the room. "You have come, then," she said, with ner sweet, melancholy smile. As It aught but death or Imprisonment coma nave kept me nwav! She painted water-color ntctnres. and did Berlin wool work for the shops, she told me. She sat down at once and be gan her work, and I waited upon her, washed her brushes, ground her colors, adjusted the blind, and between these little offices I watched her busy fingers; out ortener my eyes were upon her face, graving its every lineament upon my memory, ."ever have I looked upon an other face so spiritually beautiful. It was one of those heads that the old Ital ian painters loved to give to their An gels and Madonnas, so prefectly serene, eo utterly free from hnman passions. The fair wavy hair, tintrammeled by art; the oval fare, neither full, nor thin, but perfectly smooth; the low forehead; the blue eyes; the straight Grecian ncse; the small mouth; the awelling, gracefully arched neck; the skin so delicately wh'te, tinted upon the cheeks with the faintest carnation. Her figure was of about the middle height, exquisitely graceful, yet palntnlly fragile. She wore a black dress, made high to the neck, wltli small, plain white collar. I We talked very little; she was too busy with her work, and silence was mors congenial with our mood. At 3 o'clock Mrs. Wilson called ns to dinner, which we took in a breakfast parlor below. The old lady was Try chatty and very curious, and asked me a great number of Indirect questlous inose i am not care to answer 1 con trived pretty skillfully to evade. f "Von must excuse my questions, sir,' she said; "but although Miss Clara I no relation of mine, and, Indeed. I know nothing about her, still I feel as much Interested in her as though she were my own child; she is so innocent, and knows ko little about the world, that It s quite necessary thut she should have some one to look after her. Now, you are the first visitor that she has ever bad, and she has lived with me these two years, But, when she came home last night she told me that she had met an old ac quaintance who was coming to see her; that he had come to the city In search of employment, and had no friends nor ac quaintances, and was so dreadfully mis- rrable that It made her quite unhappy to see him. At first, I set my face against it. but the soon coaxed me over, and I compromised the matter by saying that you should come this once, but that If I did not approve of you, it was to be thu first and the last visit. But I must say you seem a very nice, quiet, modest1 sort of young gentleman. And what kind of employment might you be seeking?' I told her I had been usher at a school. but that at present I was doing cop) lug. I did not say of what kind. The old lady remarked that an usher's was very genteel sort of employment. Alto gether she seemed very well satisfied with me. In the evening Mrs. Wilson brought her sewing up Into the parlor, and pro posed that I should read to them. And so the evening glided on, oh, so rapidly, until I could no longer see- In the dark ening' twilight, and then we all sat near the window; Mrs. Wilson chatting. I and Clara silent She gazing Into the street, with that absent look so common to her; 1 watching every motion or her face, as It grew more and more indistinct In the deepening shadows. Lights were brought, and then we went down to supper, and then It was time to go. "You will come and see me again, won't you'" she said, as she gave me her baud at the gate. I wanted no pressing, and arranged that I would come again on Monday. She wished me good night, and went In and closed the door, and the day was ended the day whose blissful memories will never fade from my heart. That day was the precursor of many like ones, until. In a short time, I could perceive that she looked forward to my coming with expectancy, and that my presence had become a thing almost nec essary to her. She looked for me to hand her the painting materials, to grind the colors, to select her skeins of wool, to elt st her feet and read to her some pleasant book; while, between the lights, she would sit at the piano ami Impro vise strange, weird, plaintive melodies. It was a strange communion, ours. In It we lived only in the present moment. We never spoke of a past or of a fu ture, for we wished to be happy; and, to both, the past was hideous, the fu ture ominous. Thus I knew nothing of her past life, nor did 1 wish to know. Like her, I did not wish the happiness of the present to be marred by one pain nil image. She had lived with Mrs. Wilson above two j ears, yet even sho knew nothing of her life for a single doy before she cams to her. "I have nlwaya had good references before I would take any ono Into my house, said the old lady, "es peclally young ladles without friends; but she said she could give me none, and she looked so innocent and good that I took a fancy to her upon the spot: and I have never had came to regret it, for a dearer, purer creature never entered a house, and I feel for her quite as It she was my own child. Hut I must say that I do feel curious about her. and often think what a mystery she Is. She Is so strange at times, and so uullke any other young lady 1 ever met." With my old reticence, I told Martha no word of Clara. I hugged my secret with selfish tenacity, as something too precious to be shared. She wondered at my unaccounted-tor absences, and I think felt hurt that I did not confide In hsr. She frequently remarked upon my changed appearance. 1 do declare, sho used to say, "that I never saw any one so altered for the best as you are. Master Silas! Why, you'vsj got to look quite handsome late ly" In the meantime I was not Idle. Mr, Montgomery brought me more copying to do, and In order that my visits might me. "Oh, ymi should!

One day Mr. Montgomery Invited me to pay a visit to the ltoyal Cortutuian Theater. There had been a time when no proposition could have been so de lightful to me: but siuce those uaya i had scared Into higher regions of Ideal Ity than the theater could represent Nev ertheless, I accepted the Invitation, and one evening I accompanied him and Jo- slah. While I was standing In the side scenes, looking at the play, some stran gers came through a private door that led from the boxes. They were geuth men. dressed in run evening costume, After a casual glance I again gavo my attention to the stage. Presently I heard a voice close behind me, whose tones sounded familiar in my ears. Turn ing round, I saw one ot the gentlemen talking to an actress. In an Instant 1 recognized Mr. llodwell. It was a shock, In which, for an Instant, I forgot the stage and everything about me. I avert ed my head, and dared not move lest he should recognize me. Hut I soon began to think how improbable this was that he would do so In such a situation, and with my altered appearance. I screwed np my courage, and turned round to leave the spot, when. Just as I was brushing past the object of my fears, adverse fortuno brought Joslah Cook across my path . "Hello. Silas", old fellow, how are ion enjoying yourself?" he cried, as he pass ed me. Instinctively I east a glance upon Mr. Rod well. I saw him start and look me full in the face. A row of gaslights leaning against the side scene glared full upon us both. Ills gaze dwelt upon me for an Instant but he gave no sign of recognition, and went on talking as be fore. I fondly hoped lust he urn not re member me. Quick on the heels of Joslah followed Mr. Montgomery, He nodded to me, and was passing on when, observing Mr, Itodwell, he stopped suddenly, stared at him for a moment, then, clapping his hand unon his shoulder, cried in a fa miliar tone, "How do you do, Mr, Bod well?" He was dressed as an old man, wore a wig. and was otherwise disguised. The gentlemsn whom he addressed honored him with a haughty stare. It is some time since we have met. and I suppose yon do not remember 'the Professor In this dress Mr. Itodwell looked disconcerted at th,l recontre. "I certainly did not remember you," be said, coldly. I did not hear more of what passed be tween them, and should not have heard this had not my passage been blocked for a moment by a change of scene. I was only too glad to get away from the vicinity as soon as I could make my es cape. AH enjoyment was over for that even ing, and I would have chosen rather to have gone home at once; but as I had ac companied my fellow lodgers to the the ater, I thought It would appear strange leave without them. Ho, liavlug ob tained permission, I went Into the pit to witness the rest of the performance. I did not see anything more of .Mr. Itod well that night, but I could not shake oft n feeling of depression, and a pre sentiment that this meeting boded ine some III, I waited at the stage door until my companions were dressed. But Instead of Immediately wending their way home ward, they expressed an intention of ad journing to a public house, and Insisted upon my accompanying them. I bad never been In such a place before, and the noise and' smoke quite mazed me. sir. .Montgomery called for supper. and threw down a coin. Hello!" cried Joslah, staring In blank astonishment; "have you been robbing a baukV" No; I have only been bleeding a friend," was the answer. I soon began to very heartily wish that I had gone home by myself, Mr. Montgomery Insisted upon drinking; and that, together with the atmosphere I was inhaling, quickly affected my brain. When we reached Kackstraw'a build ings they would not permit me to go to my own lodgings. I must go into Mrs. Jennings' and spend half an hour with them. "You don't smoke. Silas?" be said to It? It would Indeed be a marvelous story. But I don't believe that half tha people would rrdlt It 1 mm.ij ..-.it. half a dozen sensation novels without ! manure.

A man who began life as. valuable fertilizing constituents- gentleman, and who, for a matter ot twenty sears, has passed throuch eterv phase of vagabondism, must have some strange stories to tell." 'Of course he must." said Joslsh. again winking nt me. "I have often won dered that you have not set about pub lishing your reminiscences, or your auto biography, or something of that sort. But It Isn't too late, you know. But come, now, give us one of vour regular start. lers; we are all attention." iTo h. contluufd.i EGYPTIAN8 BEAT HARVEY. Circulation of the Illood Known to Their Doctors O.O(H) The Hnrvelnn oration nt the ltovnl uoiiogo or rnystcluns, I.ondon, was do llvcred this year by Or. Itlcliard Caton, F. It. c. I". In the course of his remarks he snhl that Ilnrvev vn almost anticipated 0,000 yearn ago by tuc priest-doctor of Kgypt In hi mo mentous discovery of the circulation tor the blood. Ajs far back as -1000 B. C. Hgypt had works on medicine mid anatomy, and one brilliant Renins forgotten nown day and omitted fom the cyclopedias l-om-hotep, priest of the aun god Ita, and physician to King Torsotbros. be came so eminent that he was revered as a demigod after death, a temple was built out his tomb, and In bis honor hospitals were raised In Mem phis and other cities. Here the priest physicians treated the sick and em balmed the bodies of men and sacred animals. These were probably. Dr. Caton Ui Inks, the first of mankind to acqulro a rudimentary knowledge of the move ment ot the blood. Their papyri con tain Intelligent references to the heart. the blood vessels and the pulse. Of the heart In particular they knew much, and their writings refer to Its enlargement, fatty degeneration, dis placement, palpitation and pericardial effusion. One remarkable passage of these old-world Inquirers siienks of distension of the heart and shortness of breath as occurring because the blood has stagnated and dons not cir culate properly. Not Greece, therefore, but Kgypt, long before Galen and Hippocrates, was tho motherland of rational infill clno and anatomy. The views of the Greeks on the circulation of the blood were a I moot exactly those which the Egyptians bad taught many centuries earlier. On one remarkable menus of treat nient for Inclpllent valvular disease of the heart which these long-forgotten Nile doctors taught Dr. Caton laid great stress. It was the method roc ommended at least -1.000 years go to let the heart have ns much rest as possible a wise Injunction, said tho Harvelnn orator, which we may yet practlco with advantage.

If It Is necessary, how over, to work n liorso affected with this trouble, he can be relieved nrcnlly by feeding no hay except at night, and then only n small amount of clisiti and bright hay, entirely free, from dust, If there Is any danger of dust It Is well to dampen It, but only bright hay should bo given, ltoots wilt be found helpful; beets, turnips, potatoes or anything of tlint sort that the horse will eit. The amount of water should bo limited as much ns possible, and no liorso with heaves shnuld be given water for ono or two hours previous to going to work. Dr. Law recom mends arsenic In five-grain doses dally, ami continued from n month to two months, as especially valuable, and says that tho bowels must be kept easy, by laxallves If necessary. By treatment of this sort n heavey horso can be greatly relieved. When tlio disease first comes on It will pay to turn the horse to grnss, with the lump of effecting a cure at once and before the disease progresses to the extent where It liecomcs Incurable.

Tho Modern Kami In Germany, Klectrlclty fur farming purposes has probably been developed more In Ger many than lu any other country. A largo number of German estates aro now run almost entirely by It, tho smaller ones being equipped usually In groups from a single power plant, as at Chottorf, while many of tho large estates have their own private plants. A striking example of this latter class is tho farm of Prof. Back- haus, at Quedmiu, In tho eastern part of Itussla, which covers an area of 4.V) acres and has a dairy producing about 1.000 gallons of milk per day. The buildings arc all lighted by Incandes cent lamps and the grounds. In places. by arc lights. The current Is supplied from a small central station contain ing a CO-borse power engine direct coupled to two generators, and a switchboard for tho control of the various circuits, all parts of which are so simple and plainly marked that any farm hand can understand ami operate It In addition to the lighting. power Is supplied for the pumping oi water and tho driving or saws, teen- cutting machines, n threshing and a grist mill, and an electric churn In the dairy, Besides these stationary power appliances there are a number of clec- trically-drlven agricultural mnciiines for use In the fields, Including nn auto mobile plow, all of which are run by storage batteries and may bo charged at conveniently sub-stations. To round out the completeness of the equipment tho bams are heated by electricity and ventilated by motor-driven fans and all parts of the farm have tele phonic IntercommunlcaUon.
