I.ynne And we never shall, with vour svstcm. Your Ideas are too itrand. You aim too high. Mine. d'Avlla Oh. I admit that I made a sad mistake, but there Is no use in quarreling about It now. It is time for action. Something must be dune at once. You saw our bank slat ment this morning? I.ynne Of cotirae. Twenty thou i ii nil francs. Say eight months' re suite. Then the altar, or Ah!

Mine. d'Avlla No. I have inquired of several people, but their unawera were contradictory and unconvincing I.ynne He is not bad looking, at all events, I could learn to love him so much better than your old cripples, Hut, perhaps, as you .know nothing definite about him, he Is crippled too financially. Mine. d'Arlla Well, It is Uie Uat chance and It may b worth trying Have you had any conversation with him? l.vnns Only trivialltiea. We have met two or three times.

( Hat In bund, M. de Sailly approaches ami mi vi his respects to the Indira.) Mine. d'Avlla (after the conventional civilities- have been exchanged) Are thry still playing ill the card room?

De Sailly-Oh. the honesty of the guardian, you know, depends upon the value of the treasure. I.ynne (ostentatiously chungiug the subject) -Have you been here long? De Sailly Let me see. Ten days - ago I had the honor nf being present De !-!.:: I. - He met you first at Spa, you reiol-.nher, and only passed through Aix. I saw scarcely any thing . f him. l.y line Why have you waited so long liefore coming to- to have thin friendly little chat with me? De Sailly How about the grand duke? I.ynne Which grand duke.' De Sailly Come! lull spoke of goa- sip. Jt seemed to ue entirety ot-tu-pied with your approaching marriage to his royal highness. Lynne (flattered) Oh! witn a cousin of the emperor! How absurd. Ilrsides, to speak frankly, his royal highness is rather mill ore. No. 1 Km one of those rare una peculiar women who do not believe lu mar riage without love. De Sailly Then you ought not to have interrupted my paradox, os you called it. I.ynne Were you going to speak of love? It Is easy to talk about, but difficult to demonstrate. De Sailly Meaning that you woultl not have been convinced by my demonstration? I.ynne Even If I bad been con vinced I could not with propriety. considering the shortness of our ac quaintance, have confessed that the demonstration was ngreeable. De Sailly (siully) What a pity it is! I.ynne What is? De Sailly That one's wild dreams cannot le realized. (Ill nn nlterctl voice) I do not know, mademoiselle. whether we shall ever meet agnlii especially after what I am going to tell you but since you wish proofs, I will make two avowals. The sec ond of tli em will be the proof of the first. I.ynne (coquettlshly)-Ilegin with the second, then. De Sailly It is not bo easy or bo pleasant as the other, and the fact that I make It shows bow strongly you have Interested me. Your words of encouragement have iniidn me re flect that I was on the point of acting very dishonorably anil I cannot so act toward you. (Speukliig with ef fort.) Except that I urn a mnii ot honor within the meaning of the code, I am In no respect what I up jiear or profess to be. I.ynne (amazed) How? De Sailly My name Is not De Sail ly, but Marnier. 1 have no estates, no yacht, no fortune. I uni a poor man, my only heritage buing a few thousand francs which I am squan dering as economically as possible in places where heiresses congregate, in the hope of finding one credulous enough or siifllciently in love with me to murry me. There Is my honest confession. 1 hope you will pardon my former words, which were simply professional falsehoods. I.ynne- Why do you tell me this? De Sailly Because and this is the first avowal, which you would have last because I love you. I.ynne Since this morning? De Sailly I loved you at first sight. have loved you a little more every time I have mat you, and I have tried to meet you every day. Hut in love I am a skeptic, almost an atheist, and that I have dared to tell you my love shows how completely it bus mas tered me. This is, perhaps, the first time iii my life that 1 have acted up rightly. Do not be too angry with nie. Lynne (much affected, dreamily) You are-right. It is a pity. De Sailly -That we are now so far apart? Lynne No, but that we are too near together. I am in the snine po sition as yourself. I have neither chateau nor horses, neither yachts nor diamond mines. I am bunting fur a rich husband In the snine coverts Viat you nre beating down for a dowered wife, and I am not very pa tiently uwaitiug the portion of happi ness or misery that fate may bring me. I am tired of playing the role of candle to decrepit moths with golden wings. I am pretty , you see. too pretty, and so I have no right to anything but what 1 tuny fetch in the market.

Did it ever occur to you whin some long-standing record of courage or en durance, or the ability to bear pain has been broken, how often it is a woman that breaks it? "This was a young woman, a New Kngland school-teacher by the name of Mildred Wicks. She had bci n invited to pay a visit to two elderly maiden aunta who lived on the outskirts of an old town in the central part of Vir ginia, where I began the practice of medicine. The houre was one of those three-storied southern colonial Mruc tures with broad verandas and fluted eoluiniKi the entire height of tlie front, from the left, in I lie rear, tin re i x tend ed a considerable wiuir which, in lome former period of piosprrity. h:id been given over to the guest chambers, but which now for years had been little used. "By some misunderstanding the young woman arrived Just a wet k ear lier than she was expected, to find her mint's- house in the inldi-t of pr. pnra- tory hoiLseeleaiiing. It coneeqn iitlv became necessary, until the rm.ni in the main part of the house could be prepared for her to put her in one of the wiiiL' chambers, anil in one i. f ttu se. on the third floor, she nits iliily in stalled. It was one of tln.se l uoriiious, high-stmldi d roou.s that hate nilir: I.v irone out of fashion nowaday, even in large houses. There was a gri at tin pluee in it and solid mahnyiiuv fiirni tore of a somber, o!d-fahiouni i j pe. "The elderly aunts were rcmewhut noorcht nsive lesl the rcmotii:: null long disuse of the chamber i-.-'ghi t aut their niece some uncai-iiicss. bill si was a healthy young pcre-i.n not inch to nervousness, and seolTed al the .t.eu. It was arranged, neverthelt s.s. ih.ii tli housekeeper, who ordinarily slip! i the main division of the house, siicnld occupy, that night, a chamber adjoin ing the visitor's for the mike of com- ia nv. "At bedtime, however, an unexpected difficulty arose. It was suddenly memnered that the keys to both the young woman's and the housekeeper's chamber hud been missing for a num ber of years, and the doors were also unprovided with inside bolts. I he only duplicate keys were in the honsi kci p er's bunch held together by u solid brass ring, from which they could he removed only by breaking or Hling the brass ring. Leaving the young wom an's door entirely unsecured was. of course, not to be thought of. The housekeeper finally proosiil that she should lock thedoor for the night from the outside, taking the keys- with her into her own room and unlocking it nirain early in the morning. The win dows of the -li ii in Iter being three stories from the ground there was no possibility of Intrusion from that source, and should the housekeeper's presence be needed nl any time during the night it needed only a few vigor- our raps on the wall to summon her. The young woman found no objection to this plan, and the hous-ckceer, after bidding her good night, went out and loeketl the door after her. "Left to herself, the young woman, tired from her Journey, lost no time in undressing and getting into bed. and once in hed it was a very few moments until she was sound asleep. The next she knew she found herself sitting up staring out into the room. How long she had been asleep she could not tell; hours, she thought, since there had been no moon when she tint! gone to bed and it now shone In her window from well up in the sky. "Then with a start it came to her that she had not svvakeneil naturally; that there had been some sort of noise. She ccred around the room but could see nothn.g alarming, am:. save for the sound of the insects, the niifht was aa ouiet as the grave. So finally she lay down again and in a few mono ntswas half-way in a ilor.r. Then suddenly ahe found herself sitting up again, her heart throbbing wildly Something was moving along the base of the wall opposite her lied. As it moved there came a series of gurgling. sputtering, aterterc.ua sounds, exactly aa though vome one was choking. Tlit- young woman clutched the bed clothes ami tried to pierce the darkness. Hut she could dis-tilik'ilisli oli.l the vague outline of a crouching form. The clink ing, gurgling sounds, however, coutin lied, and then suddenly she heart! the clank of a chain being dragged arcing the floor. "The thing resulted the corner of the wall and paused there for a moment Then it emerged and began to creep slowly along the base of tl.e sn-wiu! wall, which would bring it w'tl-.in a y aril or two of the post of I In- In i' .

W hen they saw her one of them fainted ns promptly us had the house keeper upstairs. The other ran up to rier screaming: " 'Mildicd, what has happened .' "Then the young woman smiled and began talking foolishness. They called mc in to mc her wit inn an nour. it happened that I had seen her on her ui'i'ival the aiternoon in-iore. a oiowu- eyed, dark-haired, beautiful girl. It was small wonder, therefore, that I was a tut snaky wnen i nun oeeu brought into the presence of my pa tient. In one night her face had been seared and- furrowed as with the cares and sorrows of three-quarters of accu- tury, anil her hair was as while as snow. Inciileiitaliy she was suiiering from mi ugly-lookim.' cn-e of brain fever, anil for two mouths reason, mid life itself, hung in a balance that would have turned for a hair. Hut four months luter, when she went back home under the care of her mother, her mind was as'good a-s it had ever been, and the lines ami furrows had' been rubbed out of her face, and the plumpness and. color of youth vvas re turning fast. Hut her hair was neve anv thing else but w bite as snow. "What was the thing in her room'.' Nothing in the world but a horrible example of public savagery and nthfial carelessness. There was a mni--farm some eight miles ftoui our town, ami a miserable pauper, having gone viuleut lv insane, they knew noihinr lutti r to tio with him than chain him in an out house iiuil treat him like a ihingc i-ou animal. You can imagine, or rather, yon can't imagine, theelTtci on both his oci-soua! apiearaiii-e and on his dis- ense. One afternoon he i scapi il. carry ing part of his chain with him. ami in his wanderings reached the elderly aunt's house, which stood oh n in the midst of house cleaning. Atir.u-tid bv the coolness insult- he had crept up into the tdd wing, where he hail- en tered one of tht chambers ami hid den in the great tirepltiee, anil olic to sleep. The light of the voung vw-ni-tm's candle that night hail roused him, ind his journeys round the wall were mere animal instinct searching for an exit. "They called for him the same morn ing, and 1 saw the poor devil w ht n t hey foiiiid him Iviug up there in the ii.om. It is a sob inn fact that his canines projected an inch In-low his upper lip. He didn't hav e on enough rairs to cover the backs of a man's two hands, anil his hair and beard nud skin had been indescribably uiisii-ed, ai-d the poor wretch was in the last st.-.es of con sumption. Hut his nielli's advt ntnre proved not such a bail thing for him, for he died two weeks later in compar ative comfort. Put the manager of that poor-farm had no such easy i it from the troubles w hich overtook him." - -N. Y. Sun. F 11 AT KltS A I. WATTIES, firan.s ! LodL-e A. F. & A. M..
