(Continued.) 1 The morning after Mr. Hastings' visit, letter cme to Mr. Clayton, announcing that one of hia balliffa waa suppoeed to bar robbed him to a considerable ex tent. The man himself had no Idea that he was suspected. Francis Clayton was beside himself; he Towed vengeance against the delinquent-he would convict him he would get nun transported hia wife and children ehoald be reduced to shame and begga.ty! "I Bad I shall hare to go back to Eng land," he told hia wife. "I shall leave you here, and return for you In a week or ten days." "Oh. do take ma with you, Francis, said the little hypocrite, pretending to look disappointed. "Pshaw! I tell yon It la not Conven ient ' "But what am I to do If you go? I cannot go to all theaa balla and dlnnere ara antae-ed to. alone." "Nonsense. Madame da St. Oeran will chaperon you if you atlll want chap eron," added the agreeable husband, with a sneer. "She knows every friend and acquaintance we have In Parla." Madame da St. Oeran was an old friend and flame of Francis Clayton's, and aha had for some reason tolerated what aho called "her Engliah bear." Francla Clay ton, assuming the privileges of an old friend. Dald her a most nnfashlonably rlv visit, asd aha received him in demi-tollet of elegant almpllclty in her own boudoir, and was most graciously pleased to accede to hia request. "Tell madame. your wife," she aald, In parting, "that at nine o'clock this evening I shall have the honor to call for her to taka her to the opera and afterward to the ball given by the Duchess ae eau cour." And Francis Clayton bent over her hand and kissed It in manner that might have edified and astonished ma dame, his wife. Then he returned to the hotel, delivered the message to Fee, bade her good-by, and kissing her coldly, Jump ed into his braugham, which was in at tendance to convey him to the station. Madame de St. Geran called tor Mrs that trembling, frightened, aa ahe waa. her indignation was greater. She walked straight up to him. "How dare you use aucn worus io un she cried. "How dare yon utter your base-minded auspiclona before me!

But he waa there before her, and atood with hia back against It, to prevent her egress. "i fnritiii von to leave wu nnxefnrward vou have no authority over my actiona," hia wife replied, coldly. "I leave Parla to-nlgnt. THia aii rn without servants or "Be It so! I care not how, but o I m - He saw that aha was resolved, and he was afraid of her. He tried to Juatify hlinself-to make up the quarrel; aba not hear a word. Then he apolo gised, humbly, abjectly; and at lasti she consented to receive hia amende. Their misery waa aealed from that hour. How could a man with a mind like Clayton a ever pardon a woman wno nao ao au- uiilruted aim? The Champions were perhapa not the most united family in the world. Mr. Champion waa proverbially Indifferent to hia wife; Sir Howard ana nie grauu ba1 nernetual altercations; and, latterly, Mra. Champion and. her daugh ter seemed far less attacned to eacn r than formerly. Flora Champion wai unhappy and discontented. Her aim In life waa to make a brilliant marriage, and ahe failed. Scene between her and Sir Howard were of freaucnt occurrence. She qua. reled constantly with her brother, and the last and crowning part of ner mortmca tlon waa that he had fallen desperately In love with Winifred Eyre. When Mr. Krra died.

When Mra. Clayton returned to find Madame da St. Geran, Col. d'Aguilar formed one of the knot of men who atood talking with her. They were obliged to apeak then; and against her better Judgment, against her own resolve, she went back to the ball room on his arm. They were perfectly discreet, their conversation waa aimply auch that the merest acqualntancea might have held; the danger waa In tha faact nation the presence of each had for tha other. She did not dance with him any more than ahe did with Mr. Heatings; but when she went home she reproached her aelf bitterly for the time ahe bad apent In hia society, while ahe never gava a sla rl thourht to Errol Hastings.

If ha waa angry and Jealous about Mr. Hast ings, what would ha aay whea ha knew that during hia absence ahe had been constantly in the eoclety of Col. d'Agui lar? She had never fully realised her Imprudence until thia moment What could ahe do? If ahe told him, he waa certain to be very violent; if she conceal ed it and he became aware of It the consequencea might be terrible. "It ia better to get it off my mind at once," she determined. ' "Mr. Hastings wss here this morning, dear. He came to wish me good-by." "In anticipation of my return, I aup pose." "Really, Francis, I have acarcely com mon patience with yon. What a poor opinion you must have of yourself to h ao auspicious: Mr. Hastiugs la going England on business, and CoL d'Aguilar ia going with him." "D'Aguilar!" cried Francla Clayton, starting, "his he been here?" "Yes." "And yon have met him?" "Yea." "And spoken to him?" "Yea." "And danced with him?" "I plead guilty to that also," answered Fee. trvlne to sDeak gayly. She waa ac customed to violent outbnrsta from her frail tn Endon Vale, Tn return to Flora Champion. - The retribution which her conduct toward Mr. Vane deserved had overtaken her. Ha waa Lord Lancing now; hia fatter naa been dead aix months, and ba waa aa indifferent to her as aha had formerly been to him. And, worse than all, their positions wera reversed, and ahe waa In love with him, to her own bitternesa and mortification. Bhe tried Brat to win mm back, and when that failed, aha strove, with all her atrengtn of will, to master her unrequitted attachment Lord Lan cing never alighted her he waa far too generous minded for that; he paid her the same attention in pudiic mai ne usu al ways done. But he never, aa long aa he lived, uttered another word of love to her. Ha waa kind and tender to ner, ror me sake of olden tlmea, but a brave, gener oua heart like, hia could never again love a woman who had been capable of cold ness and cruelty. "I will marry!"

A quick thrill of pleasure danced through ber veins, then aha drew herself np into haughty coldness memory and pride had com. to her aid. Mr. Hastings waa certainly neither baahful nor nervous, but on find Ins himself thus alone with the girl whom he had loved, ha felt s very pardonable awkwardness. He chose to face It brave ly, thouffh. He went quickly toward her. ottering her name In a low voice. She drew back a atep or two, and looked at him with proud coldneaa.

Carrying In his arms a huge rag doll, dressed In tbe clothing of bis dead wife, "Jerry" Mooney, a farmer living near tlie village of Montague, Lewis county, N. Y., goes to his work In the fields each day. For fifteen years, ever since his wife, Molly, died of paralysis, Mooney has carried this dummy about with him He refuses to believe bis wife Is dead. After her burial he made a rag woman and dressed It In his wife's clothes. He often places the figure In the fav orlte chair of bis wife and spends long evenings before tbe fire talking to It At meal time he draws the chair containing the figure up to the table and helps It to food. On Sundays he dresses the figure In the best clothes bis wife had at ber death, gets out all of her Jewelry and places It about the neck and on the hands of the doll. Week days when he goes to the field tbe rag doll Is carried by bim and placed under tbe shelter of a tree In summer or In some protected spot In cold weather. He always carries lunch eon for himself and the doll and never eats the latter's portion. Mooney and his wife came from Londonderry, In the north of Ireland, In the early 'GO'S aud settled on small farm. They were rigid Cove nanters and, having no children, llv ed by themselves. When bis wife died in 1888, neighbors, not seeing ber about, called at tbe house and found her dead tn bed and ber husband sit ting by tbe side of the body talking to her. Mooney will permit no one to enter his house. Tbe existence of the rag woman was dlBCOvef ed by persons wh watched tbe house and saw bim car rying tt back and forth from the fields, On all other subjects Mooney Is ra tlonal. Age of Criminality. With reference to New York's special police court for childish offenders, tt Is noteworthy that both British and American law fit tbe same age of criminality. In defiance of theology the legal codes of all nations regard man as sinless by birth. Before at-, tatnlng a certain age he Is regarded as Incapable of crime. In England and America this age la 7 years, and before this a child can not be prosecuted. After Us 7th birth day a child Is accountable for Its deeds, but If under 14 the prosecution must show that be was acting with crim inal Intent The same age of crimi nality Is held In Russia and Portugal. In France and Belgium a child must be 8 years old before being prosecuted. In Italy and Spain a further year of grace la accorded. In Norway, Greece, Austria, Den mark, Holland and Switzerland, says the London Chronicle, tbe age Is 10.
