Lucy Jennlnga waa atandlng on the hearth rug with her hand claepcd to gother, and her grave white face turned toward mother and child. She had reach ed home 'before them, having a better knowledge of the ahorteat cut to York Road than Reuben had. . .' Mary looked round a the cousin came iu together,' and a add emtio flickered on a face grown careworn with anxiety. She did. not ralie her head from that of her child aa Reuben and Sarah advanced, and. Reuben aald: "Mr. Teteraon, I have brought an old friend to ahake handa with you to ex preaa her regret for al that paat diatruat which ahe haa had, aa well aa I." . ..Sarah had only heard the firat two worda. "Mr. Peterson!" the exclaimed. "Then, you you " ' ., , , "I wa Edward Peteraon'a wife," ahe added' wearily and aadly "yea." .

"And ho waa tru to bio word," Mary added with a olgh, "for the firat time in for a few days the.hlatory of a school glrl'a secret marriage, a bitter repentance, a husband'a desertion, a long up-hill fight to forget a paat that had become terri ble and full of humiliation. I did not know then that Bessie lived, and waa one link of love that hold me .to my old life. I have come to London for a few word of explanation, Sarah; they are made at read time.'. Mary said, "but 1 could not rest, after Reuben' visit to me not even for an hour after my huBband'a death." i ;. j .- "Edward Peteraon io dead!" exclaim ed Sarah Eaitbell. . . She waa surprised he hardly knew why, but h waa sorry for" hla death.

And it left Mary a young and pretty widow, too but what had that to do with It?" .-"He died within an hour of your coua ln'a visit thla morning," aald Mary, : "And you Are here," replied Sarah wonderiagly. c "Ah! you cannot underatand that," aald Mary, "you' who will love your hue band all.ypnr Ufa..

"He ahould have asked pardon of you for -blighting your life," aald Sarah. '" "Ho should have Bought pardon of hla God," added Lucy Jennlnga. "He tore the laat will of Sumon Cul wick into a hundred piece, lest I should claim my right to rlchea by it," aaawor- ed Mary; "he cursed mo, and left m poor." "But " ' "But I bav all the fragment," add ed Mary, opening a puree heaped to the clasp with aruall piece of paper; "see there they are." Sarah glanced at them, but did not opeek,- "It would b a opeclmen of patchwork that tho law would hardly acknowledge," aald the. widow,, "but you would not dis pute tli will, Sarah, If 1, by patient study and great care, render thla testa ment complete again?" , "No," anawered Sarah Eaetbell. - ' "la my husband'a lifetime I dared not make him rich; and now, ia memory of much kindness, of old trust of new con fidence, may I aay? I have th courage to remain poor." She held the open puree over the Are, ftnd the fragment fell from it luto th rd coal, lteuben aud $arh atarted for ward to arrest her hand, but it wa too late. "You ahould not bav done! this, Mary," cried Reuben. "It waa not a just will," anawered tbe widow; "I told your father ao when he placed It In my hand, although I did not tell him that never in all my life ahould I avail myaelf of hla munificence." 4 "II bad wronged your father in aome manner which wo cannot even guess at but which he owned himself. You told mo that," W Reuben. . . , "He waa etrange that .day. It might have been th raving of a madman." "Aa that," said Lucy, pointing to the fire, "waa the act of a madwoman." "I think not," answered Mary confi dently; "it 1 an act of justice to the man entitled to hi fatbera money, and who will marry thla bra?; young lady in pos session." ;; - J I i " , "She hsa given me up," aald Renbon dryly; but Mary turned from one to an other and read no doubt or distress on cither face. Here were two Uvea In the aunahlne at laat. "I believe It waa always Simon Cnl wlck'o wlah that Reuben ahould have thla money," contused Mary; "ho did not know of my marriage, and I dared not tell him for my home'a aake, and ao wo went on from one complication to an other. There were only two wills; the firat left all to hia alster, tho second to me and the aecond ! could not, and did not care to prove. The anawer to tbe riddle came round in the way I thought it might do, if I were watchfuf and re served for I knew in what high esti mation Sarah Eaatbell held her coualn, and how ahe had made up her mind to give an obatinata man hla righta. She and I together planned more waya than one eho very artleao, I very artful per il ape but the beat and almpleat and hap piest way haa come without our plotting." "But your oald Sarah and Reuben almoat together. . - "You two are not likely to forget roe, pr my little daughter here to abut me from your friendship to help me In the world, ahould I want help." "Help!" echoed Reuben; "why, It la all youra." "You can't prove that," aald Mary em phatically, "and I would prefer to be de pendent on your bounty. I will not bo too proud to aak for a pension, when my lit tle girl grows up and tlrea of her moth er." "Tho future, for you and Tota, you will leave to Sarah and me," said Reu ben; "you will trust In those whom you have trueted eo muck already. "--v--v . "Aa tbey will trust in me now," said the. unselfish woman, , holding out her hands to'thetaw s , It la a fair picture on which the cur tain ia rung down on perfect confidence, and true affection and prosperity on life opening out before these three with no ahadows on tha ecenee beyond. Reu ben and Sarah will live happily forever afterward aa young couples always should in books and Mary and her daughter will be their faithful friends aud loving companiona to the end of life.

The record of tbe Washington delegation for the session juat closed' does not compare very favorably with that of tbe delega tion from Oregon, nevertheless, the failure of the men from Washington l largely attributable to the fact that the leader in congress need every meana within their power to bold down appropriations, and to prevent the pas sage of all but necessary legislation. ' Waabington baa no Lewis and Clark bill, but loyally supported the men from Oregon in their efforts to secure the passage of their bill. There waa no way in which Oregon could recipro cate, so Washington, bad to take tbe reeporimbiUty for local legislation al together on ita own shoulders, with the result set forth below. During tbe session just closed Sena tor Footer introduced 26 public billa, moat of them of local importance to the atate of Washington. Out of that number, five were passed by both houses, either aa independent measures, or as amendments to appropriation billa; four passed the senate, but failed in the house; six were favoraably re ported to the senate, but did not pass, and the others were never even report ed by committees. . .,,..

The correspondent of the Times, cabling from Wiju, says: The Russian position at Feng Wang Cheng, if properly held, ought to have been impregnable, even with the sacri fice of 10,000 men.
