S tho sofa and falling upoa her knees;

hope for met Could I not tske my child
and go away, abroad, anywhere where
wo are not known? I am wealthy in
my own right, I will rear my boy as
nobly aa any mother can. Oh, madam,
say that I can do this, and I will bless
you to my dying dayP
"Yes, you could do it," wss the cold
reply, "there is no Isw to prerent It.
But I warn you that, in whsterer part
of the world you may be, your baleful
secret will find you out sgsln. Then,
when your son is grown to msn's estate,
Vhat will he say to his mother when he
.Warns the truth? Will he not taunt you
with his ruin? Will not blame from his
lips be herder to bear than blame from
mine?"
"Heaven haTt mercy upon me yes,
yes!"
"I think I perceirs in him already
signs of his father's pride; Lucian will
be pitiless npon you when he learns
that he has fallen an innocent dupe to
your ambition."
Sylphide ataggered to her feet and
caught at a chair for support while a
vivid flush mantled even her brow.
"Oh, madam," she mnrmured, "do not
Insult me; I hare enough to bear. I lore

each other's affections under the guid

I swear to you that at the time I mar

"Ah! But you learned the truth with
in an hour after you left the altar. Even
then you should hsre been fair and noble
enough to hare released him from his
tows. The folly of your guilty procras
tination has come home to you in the
birth of your child."
"Madam." cried the cruelly goaded
creature, who has informed you of all
this?"
"I tell you I know not," replied Mrs.
Courtlandt with ever-increasing irrita
tion; "perhaps when you read the writ
ing you will recognize your hidden ene

not need to see the writing; I know who
the fiend is already!"
"And who is it r
"That is my secret!" replied Sylphide,
proudly; "the knowledge can never touch
you, even remotely, and I propose to be
silent until the time comes for me to
speak!"
The elder woman shuddered at the co
vert menace that these ominous words
embodied.
"Well," she said, eager to change this
train of thought, "what do you propose
to do in regard to your child?"
"What can I do? I am helpless in the
matter. I must give him to you!"
The words were pronounced with a
cold, desperate calmness that was appall
ing. "Bravely spoken!" exclaimed Mrs.
Courtlandt with a tinge of genuine enthu
siasm and relief; "I am aware thst it is
a terrible sacrifice I aak of you, but at
the same time you cannot but consider

"Enough!" Interposed Sylphide Imperi
ously; "the Important point now Is that I
be convinced that you will take my place
in regard to my darling. Grant ma until
to-morrow to take my leave of him.
"So be It; I consent" '
"I will send him to you by Diana,
whom I wish ever to remain with him."
"There I must interpose an objection.
I have never liked Diana; besides, I hare
a competent nurse engaged."

Sylphide turned away and hit her lip
until the blood started.
"Very well," aha said after a moment,
with suppressed force; "hare your own
way. I will send my child te you to
morrow. New leave me, madam. I can
not support your preeeaca another In
stant" Mrs. Courtlsndt bowed and withdrew,
silently congratulating herself thst the
most trying episode in her hitherto un
ruffled life was over. The Instant the
door was closed, 8ylphlds flung herself,
face downwards, upon the floor in a very
agony of despair.
"Whst hare I done? What hare I
doner she walled; "I hare giren my
child away, sold myself and all for a
wrong which Is not of my own commit

me? Why hare you left me to learn all

Oh, blessed mother, I who suffer aa you

ed her to a realisation of the fact that
she wss no longer alone In her misery.
She did sot rise, but she turned her hesd
and ssw her husbsnd standing there in
the noonday aunlight with folded arms,

drsgged herself a little way towards

had psused when he had entered, like one
petrified, looking down upon her in infi
nite sorrow and perplexity, but without
a shadow of anger in his look.
Taking a little heart, she 'crept a step
nearer him and raising herself, she laid
her cheek upon his pendent hand. He
started at the soft contact, but did nfft
shrink; only the touch brought with it
a sense of the reality.
"Sylphide Sylphide!" he exclaimed,
"is this thing true?"
"Yes."
"How long have you known that thla
awful doubt hung over your birth?" be
asked.
"Since the night we were married."
"And who informed you then?"
"My cousin, Oscar Couramont, the
man- who has sought to defraud me of
my fortune."
It waa too late for prevarication; there
fore she spoke frankly, daring the couse
quences.
"Sylphide, you deceived me!"
"I know, and In my misery, I can only

"You have it." -
His acquiescence was too ready to
aatisfy her; it seemed like callous indif

She uttered no sound, but nerves and

At last, whea the twilight actuslly set
In, she became so appreheueive for the
safety of her mistress thst she rang the
bell and ordered the nearest physician
summoned. He came at once an elder
ly man, with aa air at Importance and
respect about him. Diana waited with
bated breath while he raised the eyelids '
f tie patient, and made a thorough es
amlaatlea. Turning to tha woman at
last he said i
"Thla lady has undergone tome violent
mental shock. Csn yen give ras any of
the facts of tha case?" he asked.
"Ne, air; I am net at liberty to spesk.
Indeed, I do not know tho facts myself.
All thst I can say U thst she has been
separated from her child."
"AM WelL my good women. If yen

And with thee words h took hi hat

Throe men In th Wall street dls

are John W. Gates. J. Pierpont Mor-

na ngh the whole gamut of
human ingenuity, from a new method
of scratching matches to the promo

or oreventlon of earthquakes and
otDer agamic disturbances.- They pour
t,y ietter and persons from all quar-

These things are the penalty of spec

troubles that beset the man who makes

importuned in restaurant after restau

One of the things that bothers Mr.
Morgan most although It costs him no

after the eruption of Mount Pelee a

asking his help and assuring blm there

Scarcely a day passes but some man

A 13-year-old Italian boy lately pre
pared ah essay on the duties of citizen
ship, for a club In New York". Among
the rules which he laid down are the
following:
"If I want to be a good citizen I
must be true to my country, true to
my state and true to my city. If I do
not vote I will not be doing my duty.
I must have my own Judgment to vote
for the man I think Is best qualified
for the office for which be has been
nominated. If I don't I won't be doing
my duty. I must not let anybody
bribe me to vote for a man I think not
fitted for an office. It will also be my
duty to be Industrious and self-supporting,
so as not to be a burden and
a nuisance to the public. I must pay
taxes, ao that the government can be
maintained and the officers of the gov
ernment paid, because the government
Is for my good. When It Is necessary
I must help to maintain order and al
ways be ready for public service, and
in case of war serve my 'country. I
should know the history of my country
and be an Intelligent reader and close
observer of current events."
