CHAPTEH XV.
It wn night. Helen Montauban hid
entered her apartment, nd securing the
door, gave way to the passionate feelings
born of a dire suspicion, which bad been
rankling in ber breast for hours. The
interview between her father and Rose in
the morning, the hint at a confession, the
thousand slight jet convincing tokens of
feeling witnessed that afternoon ana
evening- In bar close yet silent and
stealthy watcb over actions and words.
something peculiar in the manner of the
marquis, and the occasional gay yet mya-
terious jests of the Count de Clairville
all combined to awaken within her tne
bitterest and most tormenting distrust
and suspicion.
"I will know-I will knowP she said
to herself. A little while she waited, till
be was able to assume a manner of per
fect composure, and then, lifting an ala
baster lamp from the toilet, she crossed
the gallery and entered the apartment op
posite. Rose bad dismissed her maid and was
brushing out her hair, whose rich folds,
falling around ber light shape, almost
concealed it with their shining Tell. She
turned from the mirror aa Mademoiselle
Montauban entered, and a lovely smile
brightened over her sweet face.
"Ah, I am so glad you have come,
Helen!" she said, running to ber and
throwing those fair, snowy arms about
her in an innocent, loving and happy em
brace. And Helen Montauban, bending ber
beautiful head, calmly and with seeming
kindness and affection, kissed Rose on her
forehead. The girl shuddered.
"How cold you are, Helen! Are you
ill? Your lips are like ice!"
"No, I am not; 111, dear child, and 1
think it must be because you are so
warm, so excited, so happy, that you im
agine me to be cold. I have come to lit
with you a little while before I retire."
"You were kind to come. I wanted to
ee you; I was waiting for you." Bhe
sat down by the aide of Mademoiselle
Montauban and put her arms about her
again.
"Well, you wished to see me is that
all?" asked Helen, attempting something
like playfulness in her manner.
"I wished to to tell you something,
and now I have not the courage." Rose
Bid h"r face on her companion's breast
again. "Helen, it was about Louis."
Those sweet eyes were hidden; it was
welj; they could not see the stony fierce
ness of that wild, white face above, that
grew wilder and whiter as the girlish,
timid confession was made.
Helen Montauban, crushing with calm
and terrible force the thousand mad emo
tions in her breast, that struggled to have
way, compelled herself to utter, softly:
"Go on, .Rose; I am Interested I am
listening; go on!"
And Rose told her all all, from begin
ning to end, with her fair head lying on
that stormy heart, whose gathering fires
her innocent, whispered, bashful words
fed with a fearful sustenance. Helen
Montauban listened. Bhe heard all this
every word, every syllable of this con
fession, and each word, each syllable,
truck her with a deadly blow. The de
liberate stab of the midnight murderer
tells with no deeper power. Yet she list
ened, and stirred not; she spoke some
times, made some remark or comment,
and then listened again. There was a
kind of savage agony within, that dwelt
upon that simple love story In Ita every
detail, and comprehended it with sharp
and greedy eagerness; but at the close, all
memory of those, details departed. All
that was left of that story, gathered into
three words three single words, that
Hose, with bashful joy, whispered as she
finished: "He loves me Louis loves me!"
And Helen Montauban aaid to herself,
"ne loves another; he does not love me!"
The words were branded into her heart;
they were written there la characters of
fire; they were Ineffaceable.
"You are not going yet! do not go yet,
dear Helen!" murmured Rose. "Btay
wkh me a little longer."
Her soft eyes, rslaed so tenderly, so
pleadingly, to that face, shone with a
divine beauty. The gold-tinged tresses.
Sowing about her graceful head, were
like the glory that surrounds the brow of
a saint. Thus seemed this young girl, as
he stood before the dark, stately Helen,
whose proud face was calm and quiet,
whose splendid eyes shot forth no ahaft
of the smothered fire within.
But Helen Montauban uttered some
gentle words and turned away. She bade
Rose a pleasant good night before she
went out, and then, taking her by the
hand, bent down once more and kissed
her. With that kiss she swore hatred
undying, eternal; revenge, speedy and
ure, to the one who had robbed her of
bis love. And Rose sought her pillow to
dream such dreams as youth and joy
may bring, even while hate and revenge,
with sleepless eyes, watched over ber.
Helen Montauban secured herself In the
privacy and stillness of her chamber, and
putting her lamp on her own dressing
table, threw herself upon the couch, not
to sleep. The spirit of rest fled from
those eyes, that gloomed upon vacancy.
There was no peace for that heart, beat
ing with hard, fierce, heavy throbs be
neath its silken vesture. Still those words
burned upon it their scorching characters
"he loves another!"
Bhe had sworn revenge. The dream
of her whole life had been broken now.
It waa as if a single thread of shining
silver had run its glittering line through
her life-woof, and those slender fingers,
o lately . pressed upon her own, had
ruthlessly snapped It asunder. Rose
might be Innocent of Intention to wrong
her nay, she knew her to be so. And
yet she hated her hated the beautiful
face, the sweet voice, that had won him
to love them. She shuddered as she
seemed to feel once again the pressure
of that young head upon her bosom. It
oppressed suffocated her; she could not
breathe. The very air of the room was
titling. She flung open a casement with
trembling bands and leaned far oat to
drink the cool and dewy air of the dark
midnight
This was all she thought of that ven
geance must be had. How it was to
work, or when, was unknown. It very
shspe was yet undefined; but some shape
or other It must take oon. At present
vague idea only floated before her. It
waa sweet, in her bitterness of soul, to
contemplate It She would lay her plan
carefully. It should be matured to the
rarest perfection, before the period for
action came, that there might be no fail
ure. She said to herself. "1 will nevr
see Rose Lamonte the bride of Louis!
It waa known among the guests at the
chateau (he next morning that Roue an.)
Louis were betrothed, and something was
whispered, too, concerning the romance
attached to the affair. The good Coun-
teas de Clairville had kissed and cougrat-
ulated the .young girl to her heart's con
tent Everywhere there were smiles; ev
erywhere there were happy hearts, save
in one bosom.
The young count bad taken hia cousin
ITolon nnf nnnn that temp! he had told
i U . k. nlA.il a tolb wltk hv alnn and
she knew well that which she was to
hear. To Helen, Louis had been wont to
give his confidence; it was pleasant to do
ao; and now, that he had so much to
confide, he turned to ber still.
Helen Montauban liatened quietly to
all, and with an interest scarcely feigned,
Was It not the story of a ruined hope as
well aa of a rival s happiness? Every
word struck deep and keenly; ahe felt
them but too well; yet ahe hid her ag'
ony and listened and sympathized and
congratulated till she wondered at her
own self-command. And Louis, in the
honest sincerity of his own heart, fully
trusted In and gratefully credited those
false, deceitful, gently uttered assur
ances. Helen Montauban had force of
will sufficient to make her an admirable
actress.
Lord Egerton waa much morn gay and
light-hearted than he had aetmed for
some time past. For always, despite him
self, uneasy and jealous because of what
with jaundiced eight, had seemed to him
to be the preference of Louia for Helen,
he had now experienced a sudden and
most welcome sense of freedom from ap
prehenaion that he waa relieved of hia
former feara. True, Mademoiselle Mon
tauban treated him with no more favor
than formerly; but he did not cease to
hope.
CHAPTER XVI.
There waa a talk of the approaching
wedding day. The impatience of Louis
had urged Ita being fixed at an early pe
riod. He asserted that a delay of three
months would be quite sufficient His
gay and vivacious yet earnest arguments
were half accepted. The marquis was In
clined to favor them, though It was evi
dently with a sore struggle. It waa not
until now that he had realized the full
depth of hia affection for Rose. She had
become very dear to him. Her gentle
ness and innocence and goodness of heart,
her childlike loveliness, and more than all,
her likeness to one beloved In by-gone
years, endeared ber to the heart of this
second father. He shrunk from speak
ing of the parting, though he could not
deny to Lou la the boon to earneatly
ought.
It could be seen, by a close observer,
that now, while this discussion was going
on, and one and auother laying plans
touching the event, Rose herself said lit
tle, merely giving assent to the various
propositions luld before her, and aeemlng
to take but a passive part in the general
action. There was, too, at times, a cer
tain gravity, which might aa well hare
been called actual sadness, in her de
meanor, and which could not well be ac
counted for. Gradually it became ao evi
dent that it occasioned the deepest un
easiness In the breast of Louis. He en
deavored to draw from her the cause of
It She aeemed disinclined to acquaint
him with the origin of thla unusual mood.
"You are ill, dear Rose?" he asked,
with a lover's solicitude.
"I am not 111, Louis; indeed, you alarm
yourself unnecessarily."
"Then you are unhappy?"
"I am not exactly unhappy, either."
One month of the three had passed
awv-
"There are but two months now, Rose,"
said the happy young man.
And Rose, even as she received the kiss
her lover gave ao fondly, turned away to
sigh. He observed it with increased un
easiness. "My dear uncle," he said to the mar
quis, "what can ail Rose? I am sure she
is not quite happy, though she refuses
to admit it."
The marquis did not observe the down
cast mood of the young girl for the first
time now. He had watched it since, its
commencement, and meditated seriously
and with deep concern on the subject.
At length one day he tent for her to come
to him In the library.
"My dear child," he said, "1 must know
the reason and the nature of this gloom
which continually rests upon your spirits.
It is, as you must be aware, a matter of
some anxiety to me. You do not deny
that, if not precisely unhappy, there is
yet some wish to be granted some desire
to be fulfilled, which could restore to you
your usual serenity?"
"I will not deny it, monsieur," she re
turned, quietly and sadly.
"And you will not tell me what it is
this" wish? Dear Rose, this reserve
palus me extremely. I am sure you would
not wish to cause me a moment's dis
quiet, and yet you uucousciously give me
the utmost apprehension. You confide
neither in Helen nor Louis; then I en
treat you to be, at least, frank with me.
Ia it anything which I can do to gratify
you, my child?"
"Indeed, I scarcely think so," answered
Rose; "I do not tbiuk any one here could
bring me what I wish. It is "
"Rose, I think I know whst you wish.
I have thought of it more than once of
the very subject doubtless, upon which
you are secretly dwelling at this moment
You have not seen your father In a long
time. You are about to take a most im
portant step, and you wish to see him,
to tell him of all this. Is It not so?"
The tears quietly escaped from the
young glrl'a downcast eyea.
"It la true, monsieur. I wished to see
him. I could not forget him in my hap
piness my poor fther!"
"And It wa very natural, dear Rose,
that you ahould not. Neither did I for
get him; but I hardly knew where be
could be found."
"I knew that monsieur," ahe rejoined,
"and It was partly on that account that
I have been silent all this while."
And the good marquis could easily com
prehend the restraint that had also been
instrumental in preventing her from giv
ing utterance to the wish ahe had so long
and aorrowfully cherished. Much aa she
loved them all, she had shrank from re
minding them. In their seeming forget
fulness, that while her future waa occu
pying them continually, that her father,
poor and homeless and forgotten, might
I glad to clasp his only child once more
in his arma and breathe a father's bless
ing over her.
They had not quite forgotten It how
ever; and now that her desire was made
known, the marquis and Louis were
equally anxious to seek for him. Though
nothing absolute waa known ron erning
his hereabouts, there waa some reason
for believing that he had gone to Lyons,
and a faint hope of finding him there.
Accordingly, the matter waa taken into
consideration.
It wai about thii time that the Count
ana Countes.de Clairville. with
orrnn had nrrnnirarl tt roDtlOUO tUClr
route to Paris, and ..they bad been en-
uearoring 10 persuaue meir uui
family to accompany them and spend the
time with them there until their return.
before the union of Rose and Louis, it
was decided to adopt the proposed plan
and remain some days at Lyons on the
way, in order, If possible, to hear some
thing concerning Hugh Lamonte.
This course having been fixed upon,
preparations were immediately commenc
ed for the journey. The Countesi d
Clairville could not suppress ber joy at
this arrangement. Rose began to re
cover the gentle vivacity and animation
natural to ber; and Louis, charmed at
observing the change, was the happiest
of men.
Nor was Lord Egerton the one least
satisfied of the party. He had looked for
ward to bis departure from Helen's pres
ence with feelings of the utmost pain.
He had been restless disquieted. Noth
ing but the anticipation of his return
thither had relieved hi. dissatisfaction.
Hia pleasure, then. In the prospect of
the approaching journey was as intense
as his discontent had formerly been.
And how was It with Heien Montau
ban? It waa well known that she wai
pleased with this arrangement. She had
expressed her satisfaction more than onct
in alluding to it, and took an active part
in the preparatlona making for the oc
casion. But there was no one in all that
party not even Rose Lamonte herself,
seeking tidings of her father who took
so deep an interest in the thought, of
this journey. For Helen Montauban had
a purpose the bare skeleton of t plan a.
yet over which she had beeii brooking
In secrecy and alienee through many
day past. Her desire, her thirst for re
venge, was fierce and unquenchable.
Long had .he been meditating upon the
mode of it. fulfillment; but her hands
had been In a measure bound; the neces
sary facilities for action were difficult
to be attained. Now, however, means of
forwarding her wretched scheme were
at hand; the approaching journey opened
to her ways and means that she only toe
eagerly snatched at. With calm and un
impassioned deliberation which but as
sured a more terrible consummation of
her hateful design, she meditated upon
the new assistance afforded her now; she
looked forward to the method to be
adopted, and carefull made her calcu
lations carefully and coolly. She had
no fear no hesitation. Hen were atrong
passions .trong and fiery, and deep and
deadly a. well. Love and hate bad equal
violence when roused in her breast; the
love was forgotten now; the hate wa
uppermost; it was meat and drink to
her; it had turned her heart to steel.
Compassion, tenderness, pity all were
banished. The fiends themselves could
plot no more mercilessly than this wom
an, when vengeance had once become her
object.
A smoldering fire lay In those proud,
dark eyes, as she left the old chateau on
Ihe morning of the departure for Lyons.
She leaned forward from the carriage
window as they wound slowly along the
road leading northward, and looked upon
the dark pile that rose against the blue,
serene air of the declining autumn.
"See." aaid Louis, gaily, "Helen is tak
ing a sentimental farewell of home."
"Nay. cousin, I was thinking of out
return," anawered she.
"Then why be thinking already," said
the marquis, "of our return? Indeed
am half inclined, Helen, to believe that
yon really regret leaving the chateau,
"So soon? why, that scarcely augura
favorably for the enjoyment of your trip
to the gay capital, Helen! I had an Im
pression that you anticipated a great deal
of pleasure during our sojourn there.
"So she does so she does, I am sure!"
joined in Rose, as she took the hand of
Mademoiselle Montauban affectionately
In hers." "We shall both enjoy ourselves
shall we not, dear Helen?
"Undoubtedly," was the reply; "how
can it be otherwise?" and she smiled.
"Monsieur," returned Mademoiselle
Montauban, "this journey Is, of all things
in the world, one of those which I most
desire."
She leaned back in the carriage and
said no more. Gradually they entered
upon the road skirting the forest, and
then the chateau and. its neighborhood
was lost to view.

DRUM CAPTURED AT BUNKER HILL
"1
One of the most valuable historical
relics in the United States is a drum
that sounded at the battle of Bunker
Hill- and saw service in some of the
greatest encounters In the Revolution,
It Is now the property of the Richard
A. Tierce Post, Grand Army of the Re
public, of New Bedford, Mass. It Is a
snare drum, of British make, much
larger than the same character of
drum to-day. It was brought over to
this country by a young English red
cont. He was killed at Bunker Hill,
and the drum fell Into the hands of the
Continentals. Israel Smith, the grand
sire of Levi Smith, who presented the
drum to the post, was the drummer in
the famous Rhode Island company thnt
stood the charge at Bunker Hill. La
ter, when tbe soldiers drew lots over
the drum, young Smith became Its
possessor. Many a lusty charge Levi
Smith beat on the drum during the
long struggle that followed. Then, In
1812, young Israel Smith marched
away with the old drum slung over
his shoulder.

health, and defeats the very objects
aimed at.
Electromagnets promise to come Into
common use for lifting heavy pieces
of iron In factories and rolling mills.
Instead of the present books and
chains a large piece of metal is sus
pended above fhe iron or steel object
to be fitted, a current Is run through
this, rendering it magnetic, so that it
simply picks up the object and holda
It until the current Is turned off. A
magnet weighing 350 pounds can carry
a load of five tons. The time reaulred
for fastening a load to a crane by the
present uieiiioas is estimated to rep -
resent one-half the cost of handllnir
the material, so that great saving In
handling material is apparent There

moreover, its larvae feed eagerly upon
the larvae of other species of mosqui
toes. For this reason experiments are
being made to determine If the new
mosquito will thrive in the climate of
southern New England. It has receiv
ed the name of Eucorethra TJnder-
woodl. Its manner of disposing of
the larvae of other mosquitoes Is cal
culated to make sufferers from recent
mosquito bites gleeful. "The victim
Is caught," says Doctor Underwood.

A mlssionaiy lately returned from
India expressed the opinion that re
ligious work was going on very slowly
there on account of tbe difficulty lu
translating tbe spirit as well as the
text of the Gospel.
"Take an Instance," he said. "I
tried to teach my converts the old
hymn:
" 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself In Thee."
I had a native Bible student trans
late it Into tbe vernacular. To make
sure that be bad grasped the spirit of
tbe words, I took his translation and

by another student It then readf

The Great Telescopes Outdone.
Remarkable results in star photogra
phy with comparatively Inexpensive
apparatus, have been reported by Pro
fessor Schaeberle. His telescope was
parabolic reflector of short focus, the
mirror being 1?, Inches in diameter,
with a focus c' 20 Inches, and expos
ures of five minutes gave star images
that were beyond the reach of the 3G-
lucb Lick telescope and that required
exposures of two hours with the 3(J-

than the seventeenth magnitude were
