ii i The Minister's Wife By MRS. ShENRY WOOD CHAPTnit II. (Continue.!.) Till evening was but another of those Mr, Uaumgarten sometimes spent t Avon House feeding the flume of her Ill starred passion. Hit manner to women was naturally temler, aud to Orace, with her fascinations unconsciously brousht to bear upon him, dangerously warm. That he never for one moment had outstepped the bounds of friendly Intercourse Grace attributed entirely to the self-restraint Imposed by his Inferior position; but she did not doubt he loved her In secret. While at dinner he told them, Jokingly, ns he had told Edith, that the parish wanted him to marry. Lady Avon re marked. In answer, that he could not do better; parsons and doctors should al ways be married men. "Yes that's very right, very true," he returned in the same jesting tone. "Hut suppose they have nothing to marry upon?" "Hut you have something, Sir. Haum garten." "Yes, I have two hundred a year; and no residence. 'The rectory Is rather bad. I believe." "Had I Well, Lady Avon, you should we It." "Mr. Dane ought not to have allowed It to get Into that state." she remarked, and the subject dropped. After dinner Mr. Haunignrten stood on the lawn with Grace, watching the glorias of the setting sun. Lady Avon. Indoors, was beginning to do; they knew better than to disturb her: this after-dinner sleep, which sometimes did not last more than ten minutes, was of great moment to ber, the doctor said. Mr. Hamngarteu bad held out his arm to Lady Grace In courtesy as they be gan to pace the paths, and she took it. They came to a halt near the entrance gate, both gazing at the beautiful sky, their hands partially shading their eyes from the blaze of sunset, when a little man dressed la black with a white neck tie was seen approaching. "Why, here comet Moor"" exclaimed Grace. He was the clerk at. the Great Whitton church. Limping up to the gate, for he was lame with rheumatism, be stood there and looked at Mr. Haumgarten, as if his business lay with blm. But Grace withdrawing her arm from her compan ion, was first at the gate. "I beg pardon, my lady, I thought it right to come up and inform the countess of the sad news and I'm glad I did, see ing you here, sir. Mr. Chester It gone, my iauy. "Gone!" exclaimed Grace. "Gone where?" "He Is dead, my lady he Is dead. sir. Departed to that bourne whence no trav eler returns," continued the clerk, wish ing to be religiously impressive and be lieving he was quoting from Scripture. "Surely It cannot be J" said Mr. Daum gar ten. "Ay. but It Is, sir. more' the pity. And frightfully sudden. After getting home from afternoon service, he said he felt uncommonly tired, be couldn't think why, and that he'd not have his tea till later In the evening. He went up to his room and sat down in the easy chair there and dropped asleep. A sweet, tranquil sleep It was, to ail appearance, and Mrs. Chester shut the door and left him. Hut after an hour or two, when she sent up to say be bad better wake up for bis tea, they found him dead. The poor old lady Is quite beside herself with the sud denness, and the maids be running about all sixes and sevens." "I will go down with you at once, Moore," said Mr. Haumgarten. "Hut you will come back and tell us and tell us how Mrs. Chester Is?" said Lady Grace, aa he was passing through the gate. "Yes, certainly, If you wish It." he answered, walking away with so fleet a tep that the clerk with difficulty kept up with him. "I fancy it must have been on his mind, sir," said he; "not direct, perhaps, but some Inkling like of what was about to happen. This afternoon, when I'd took off bis surplice In the vestry I went and put things to rights a bit In the church, and when I got back Into the vestry to lock up, I was surprised to see the rector still there, sitting opposite the outer door, which stood open to the churchyard. Don't you feel well.slr?' said I. 'Ob, yes, I'm well,' he answered, 'but I'm tired. We mutt all all get to feel tired when the end of our life Is at hand, Moore, and mine has been a long one,' 'Yes, it has, air, aqd a happy one, too,' I said, 'thank God.' With that he roue up from bis chair, and lifted his hands towards Heaven, looking up at the blue sky. Thanks be to my merciful God,' he repeated, sol emnly, In a hushed sort of tone. 'For that, and alt the other blessings of my past life on earth, thanks bo unto Him!' With that, be took bis hat and stick and walked out to the churchyard," concluded the clerk, "leaving me a bit dazed as 'twere, for I bad never beard him talk like that before; he was not the sort 'o roan to do It." Within an hour Mr. Haumgarten was back at Avon House. Lady Grace was still lingering In the garden, In the sum mer twilight. He told her In a hushed voice all ho had to tell; of the general state of things at the rectory, of poor Mrs. Chester's sad distress. "Mamma Is expecting you," said Grace. "I broke the news to her but she wants to bear more particulars." They went Into the drawing-room by the open doors of the window. Mr. Haum garten gavo tho best account be could to Lady Avon ; and then drank a cup of tea, standing. Still asking questions, Grace I passed out again with him to the open 1 ammmm a. B3HMBHBH miaan air, and strolled by his side along the smooth, broad path which led to the en trance gate. When they reached it he held out his hand to bid her good evening. The opal sky was clear and beautiful ; a large star shone In it. "Great Whitton Is In my brother's gift," she whispered, as her hand rested tn his; "I wish he would give It to you." A flush rose to the young clergyman's face. To exchango Little Whitton for Great Whitton had now and then made one of the flighty dreams of hl ambition but never really cherished. "Do not mock me with pleasant vis ions. Lady Grace. I can havo no posib ble Interest with Lord Avon." "Tl oil can marry then," she said, softly. In reference to the conversation at dinner, "and set the parish grumblers at defi ance" "Marry? Yes, I should I hope do no," was his reply. Ills voice was soft as her own; his speech hesitating; he wa thinking of rMlth Dane. Hut how was Lady Grace to divine that? She, alas! gave altogether a dif ferent interpretation to the words: and her heart bent with a tender throbbing, and her lips parted with love and hope. and she gated after him until he disap peared in the shadows of the sweet sum nic. night. CHAITKH III. The Countess of Avon, persuaded Into it by her daughter badgered a promise from her son that he would bestow the living of Great Whitton upon the Ilev. Kyle Haumgarten. The Karl did not give an Immediate consent; in fact, he demurred to give It at all; and sundry letters passed to and fro between Avon House and I'aris for his lordship happened Just then to have taken a run over to the Trench capital. Great Whitton was too good a thing to be thrown away upon young Haumgarten, who was nobody, he told his mother, and be should like to give It to Klllotsen ; but Lad Avon, for peace's sake at home, urged her petition strongly, and the Karl at length granted it and gave the prom ise. The morning the letter arrived contain ing the promise, and also the Information that his lordship was back at his house In London, Lady Avon was feeling un usually HI. Her head was aching vio lently, and she bade her maid put the let ter aside; she would open It later. This she did In tho afternoon when she was sitting up in ber dressing room and she then told Grace of the arrival of the un expected promise. "Oh, let me see It!" exclaimed Grace. In her incautious excitement, holding out her hand for the letter. She read It hungrily, with flushing cheeks and trembling fingers. Lady Avon could but note this. It somewhat puz zled her. "Grace," she said, "I cannot think why you should be so eager. What does It sig nify to you who gets the living whether Mr. Haumgarten or another?" In the evening, when Grace was saun tering UstleMly in the rocky walk, won dering whether any one would call that night or not, she saw him. He was com ing along the path from the rectory. The old rector bad been burled some days now "I have been sitting with Mrs. Chester, and thought I would Just ask, In pasting, how Lady Avon is," be remark ed, swinging through the gate, as If he would offer ar. apology for calling. "The last time I was here she seemed so very poorly." "She Is not any better, I am sorry to say; to-day she has not come downstairs at all," replied Grace, meeting bis offered hand. "What will you give me for some news I can tell you?" she resumed, stand ing before him In the full blow of her beauty, her band not yet withdrawn from blm. He bent his sweet smile upon her, his deep, dark eyes speaking the admiration that he might not utter. Kyle Haum garten was no more Insensible to tin charms of a fascinating and beautiful girl than are other men despite his love for Kdltb Dane. She was awaiting an an swer. "What may I give?" he said. ".Volh ing that I oould give would be of value to you." "How do you know that, Mr. Haumgar ten r With a burning blush, for she had spok en unguardedly, Grace laughed merrily, stepped a few steps backward, and drew a letter from her pocket. "It Is one that came to mamma this morning, and it has a secret In it. What will you give me to read you Just one little sentence?" Mr. Haumgarten, but that Edith and his calling were in theway, would have said a shower of kisses; It Is possible that he might In splto of both, had ho dared. Whether his looks betrayed hlrn cannot be known. Lady Grace, blushing still, took refuge in the letter. Folding It ao that only the signature was visible, she hcIJ It out to blm. He read the name, "Henry." "Is It from Lord Avon?" he said, with hesitation. "It is from Lord Avon, He does not sign himself in any other way to us, 'Your affectionate son, Henry,' it always runs to mamma; and It Is no unmean ing phrase; he Is very fond of ber. Hut now for the secret. Listen." Mr. Haumgarten, suspecting nothing, llitcned with a smile. "I have been duuned with applications since I got home," read Grace, aloud, from Lord Avon's letter, "some of them from personal friends; but as you and Grace make so great a point of It, mother, 1 promise you that Mr, Daumgarten shall have Great Whitton." In reading aha had left out tho words "ami Grow." Shs closed the letter, and then stole a glance at his face. It had turned pale to seri ousness. "I da not quite understand," he said "No? It means that you are appointed to Great Whitton." "How can I ever sufficiently thank Lord Avon?" he breathed forth. "Now, Is not the knowing that worth somethlug?" laughed she. "Oh, Lady Grace! It Is worth far more than anything I have to give In re turn. Hut It is not a Jest, Is It? Can It be really true?" "A Jest! Is that likely? You will be publicly appointed In a d.iy or two. and will, of course, hear from my brother. I am not acquainted, myself, with the for mal routine of these things. Mamma Is rejoicing; she would rather have you here tlian any one." "Lady Avon Is too kind," he murmured, abstractedly. ''And what do you think mamma said? Shall I tell you? 'Mr. Haiimgarten can marry now.' Those were her words." Grace soke with sweet sauclness. se cure In the fact that he could not divine her feeling for him although she believ ed In his low for her. Ills answer sur prised her. "Yes, 1 can marry now," he assented. still half lost in his own thoughts. "I shall do so soon. I have only waited untH some preferment should Justify It." "You are a bold man, Mr. Haumgarten, to make so sure of the lady's consent. Have you asked her?" "No; where was the use. until I could speak to some purpose? Hut she has de tected my wishes, I am sure of that; and there Is no coquetry In Kdlth," "Kdlth?" almost shrieked tally Grace. "I beg your pardon ; I shall not fall." "What hate you done? You have hurt yourself!" They had been walking close to the min iature rocks, and she had seemed to stum ble over a projecting corner. "I gave my ankle a twist. The pain was sharp," sho moaned. "I'ray lean on me. Lady Grace; pray let me aupjwt you ; you are as white ns death." He wound his arms gently round her, and laid her pallid face upon his shoul der; he thought she was going to faint. For one single moment she yielded to th fascination of the beloved resting place. Oh! that It could lie hers forever! She shivered, raised her head, and drew away from him. "Thank you." she said, faintly; "the anguish has parsed. I must go Indoors now." Mr. Haumgarten held out his arm, but she did not take It, walking alone with rapid steps toward the house. At the en-tr-nce of the glass door she turned to him. "I will wish you good evening now." He held out his hand, but she did not appear to see It. She ran In. and he turned away to depart, thinking she must be In great pain. Lady Grace shut herself In the drawing room. For a few moments she ruthrd about like one possessed. In her torrent of anger. Then she sat down to her writ ing desk and dashed off a blotted and hasty note to Lord Avon which would just save the post. "Give the living to any one you please, ilnlf"' "Tie lUumgBrlMi! ; h?,tIons It Is evident that tho fanner must stow It where you will, but not to him. I, . . ... , , .. -n.,. . ,.n- ..i. ... ...m i- ... Jlw content with producing tho row inn- Jliere are reasons why he would le ut' terly unfit for It. Explanations when wo meet." During this, Mr. Haumgarten was hast ening home, the great news surging In his brain. Kdltb was at the gate, but not looking for him, of course; merely en Joying the air of the summer's night. That's ubat she said she was doing when ht came up. He caught her by the waist and drew her between the trees and be gan to kiss ber. She cried out, and gazed at him in wonder. "Kdlth, do you think I am mad? I be lieve I am mad with Joy, for the time has come that I may ask you to be my wife!" "Your wife," she stammered, for In truth that prospect had seemvd farther off than heaven. He drew her tn him again In the plentt tilde of his emotion. Her heart beat wild ly against his, and he laid her face ujxin his breast, more fondly than he had laid another's not long before. "You know how I have loved you; you must have seen it, though I would not speak; but I could not marry while my Income was so small. It would not have been right, Kdlth." "If you think ho no." "Hut, oh, my dearest, I may speak now. Will you be my wife?" "Hut what has happened?" she asked. "Ah, what! Promotion has come to me, my dear one, I am presented to tho living of Great Whitton." "Of Great Whitton, Kyle?" "It Is quite sure. Lord Avon's mother asked him to give It to me, It seems, and he generously compiled. Kdlth, will you reject me, now I havo Great Whitton?" She hid her face. She felt him lovlngiy stroking her hair. '"I would not have rejected you when you had but Little Whitton, Kyle." "Yours Is not the first fair face which his been there this night, Kdlth," ho said In a laughing whisper, "I had Lady Grare's there but an hour ago." A shiver seemed to dart through her heart. Her Jealousy of Lady Grace, had been almost as powerful as her love for Mr. Haumgarten, "Grace said, In a Joking kind of way, that her mother hud remarked I could marry, now I had Great Whitton. So I told Grace that I should do so ono word leads to another, you know, Kdlth, and that I had only waited for preferment to marry you, my best love A.

Two bulletins on the subject have been Is sued From Dr. Wiley's dlscurslon of tho subject tho conclusion Is reached that tho mnnufiicturu of alcohol tin n very small scale Is not likely to prove prof itable, nnd hccniiMo of revenue rcguln 1 id.ijid Tho bulletin on tlio subject of sources nnd manufacture says: 'The prluclpHl uses of Industrial al cohol are Illumination, bottling, motive power nnd tho innuufncturu of lacquer, varnishes, smokeless jxiwdcr, medicinal nnd pharmaceutical preparations, vino gur and ether. When Industrial alco hol Is made nt n price, nt which It can eomjH'to with Mtrnleum and gnsollno, It iloubtless will Ihj preferred for the purposes nltovo mentioned, bcciiuso of Its greater safety nnd more pleasant odor.
