Mrs. Dundaa turned back into thet hall with O'Oradj, and for once In her life did, without deliberation, a fonli<tb thing. She renewed the dut- •u^iiion of a moment since.

"A polka waa It you aald f" "I don't think I gald anything," rfr- plied he. with an amused gaze that should have warned her. "Not My mistake, then. But youra U Btill U> be explained.

"Don't depend altogother upun it." said she. lightly. "All that sand In the East may have done ita work without your knowledge. Take my word for it. II wae Constanlla who rejected you." She glanced at him archly. "I do not think I should have bad the heart to do It." Her eyes, as a rule, were ir- resistible when sba obese ; but O'Grady, though still perfectly friendly, was not to be subdued by them. "Your word is no doubt as good as your bond," said he, smiling; "but I assure you It was not your double who threw me over forâ€" Lord VarUy I" He laughed a little as he noticed bow she started. "Tou â- â€¢â€¢ I am a bopeleaa person ; when not all the aand of the desert oould blind me, you can readily beliere that it oould not be easy to throw dust in my. eyes â€" with a succeas- ful result."' "Y'ou have a meaning in what you say, of course," said she, leaning back inaoleutly against a pillar, and gazing 'Let me dainty bejeweled hand, and patted his oheek with a fond touch.

"I came here to snt a moment's rest. And you"â€" he lucked at her quickly, hope- fully, "you missed me *" he said. "You came to look for me f " There was in- tense delight, in bis lone. "Do you think you could be absent without mv mLssing you I" asked she, reproachfully. "Yes, you have guessed it. That is why I came." She said it <)uite readily, without a moment's hesitation. Time to think had been denied her, yet she was prepared, and had made the one answer that wsa most sure to charm, and hold, and blind him. She could have laughed aloud as she spoke, but she restrained herself, and looked into bis eyes with a vision clear, and soft, and tender, that seemed to him the perfection of all things woman- ly. She was false as Judas. Yet to him she appeared aa a very angel of love and goodness. "Sweetheart," said he. "I am sorry if I caused you even a second's uneasi- ness. But aa 1 tell you. I felt tired. And now that I look at you, my dear- est, how pale you are â€" now aadâ€" Iwjw lovely 1" The last assertion, at least, was true. She was dres.sed in pure white ; she always wore white, as a rule, so that there was nothing extraordinary in that, but to-night her gown was a very marvel of oeauty. It was a dream, an inspiration of the immacu- late Worth, and was singularly attrac- tive. It suited her a merveille, and added another oharot to her wonderous beauty. Pale drooping blossoms of jonquils, a bare degree less whita than the robe, lay bidden amongst its folds ; a bud or two nestled in her bosom. Around her neck she wore a string of pearls. Above all these her large eyes shone, bright as sapphires when I saw her give way to an act of frivolity that utterly di-ngusted me." "1 must speak to her. She is very young, and sho h:ia no mutber," said Uonna, patheiically. "(Jo on, dear ; let me hear in what further way she anger- ed you." "She picked up her petticoats," said Mr. Uuudas, not without a blush of shame. "Pickel^ them up quite be- yuud the Imunds uf decemy, my dear girl, and began to dance before this man, whoever be waa. She was plainly imitating somebody, Iwcause it waa not the movement of a young girl, but rather those of an advanced age that she portrayed. 1 was never so surprised in my life. Constantia has always seemed to be so specially sensible for a girl." Mrs. Dundaa, after a faint struggle with herself, burst out laughing. "And so when she 'picked up^er pet- ticoats beyond the bounds of decency' you still stayed and watched," .she cried. "Oh, you naughty boy 1 Oh, Jo I" Sht> stood oaick and shook her finger at him reprovingly. "That it should come to this between us two!" she went on. "That 1 should have to lecture you I Oh. you terrible man I 1, who used to be the wild one, have now to bring you to task I But, seriously, then, about our poor Con.

Aa Example er How the llralu Is Kulned Br Htapld I'rilunlr)'. In June, 1894, a beautiful young wo- man was removed from one of the New England colleges and placed in an asy- lum for the insane. .She had been un- well for some months, owing to over study and insufficient sleep; but her aberration of mind was directly brought about by her failure to pass the ex- amina4;ion in philosopiby at tlie end of the term. Being a friend of the family, I visited her soon after her incarceration. I was struck with the change that • few short years of study had made in the girl. She was sitting near the win- dow, apparently reading, when I ap- peared at the door of her apartment. She looked up, but evidently did not recognize me, and after eyeing me auspiciously for a few moments, rose and began to i>ace the room, laughing at Intervals that peculiar mirthless laugh which characterizes the insane. Finally, with f. shudder, she ap- proached me. ".So you are another tor- mentor," she said. "How did you know I failed in that wretched examination f I tell you, I did not fail.

Commend us to the old lady in Roch- ester, N.Y.. who sought novel and euo- cessful meaas of collecting her house rent last week. She was an old lady of ideas and a knowledge of human nature gleaned from a lifetime of experience with the world. She owned a house and lot in Rochester, and the income from it was the substan<-e upon which she depended for life's necessities. It waa rather an ostentatious house and lot. and the tenants were persons with a reputation to sustain, although appar- ently emboj-rassed for ready money. Two months' rant was due. and the agent was not able to collect. The old lady said It was simple en- ough. She would collect It herself. Now, she wasn't a stylish nor an artis- tio old lady, but she was sturdy and imperturbable, and her proportions were ample and her spirit unfaltering. She rang the door bell at an early hour the other morning and inquired for the head «>f the family. The servant glow- ered at her and said he was not to be seen yet for two hours, because the family had not yet risen. The early oaJler waa cheerful, and said she'd ait on the doorsteps and wait. Finally she was granted an audience with her tenant, who put her off with smooth promises. "I'll just sit here and wait till you can pay it." replied the righteous collector, and she settled her- self once mors on the doorstep, took some knitting from her basket and prepared to spend the day. She made It. quiiint- look ing pioture. and all the neighbors wondered. When any one oajne within conversing distance and stared rudely ai bar she explained in a friendly way that she waa waiting till the tenants paid their rent. She look- e<l truthful, and no one doubted her, and her plan worked like a charm. The rent waa paid long before ma- down, and she ambled home more than ever oonvlnoed thaA nothing ia Impos- â- Ibla.

A frame in which a mirror was set was smashed to splinters, but not a crack or blemish could be discovered on the glass. A schoolhouse was blown away, lear- ing the floor undisturbed, with tha chairs and desks remaining upright ia place. . The paint on a barn near Irving waa rubbed off. Otherwise tha barn waa uninjured. An organ in a ohorch at Spring Valley was scattered to the winds. Tba stove sitting under it was not moved. Not a trace of two missing pianos at Frankfort can be found. Three boys in a schoolhouse at Pal- mer were blown SO feet throngh tha air. but were deposited on the ground without Injury. The building waa NEVER STOPPED TICKING. At Frankfort It is aaid a watob wa* blown through a oow without atov* Hiug iicEmg. A field was furrowed by the wind as though it had been done by a plow. The only person in one district who suffered no damage waa the only per- son who carried cyclone insurance. It required 176 stitches to sew up the lacertiona of Joseph Knotte. ot Seneca. A barrel of lime waa lifted up and its contents scattered over fruit trees as perfectly as any horticulturist oould have done. Two horses .were in a barn near Waterville. One was blown quite a distance over the tree tope and da- posited safely. "The other was not in- jured, though the barn was blown from over it. Another horse was carried 100 feat through the air and landed uninjured through the roof of a cyclone rellar. Another horse was blown astride a bnrl>ed wire fence, froca which it waa extricated alive, but was horribly mutilated. A heavy refrigerator car was blown over an embankment and depositad aa debris 20U yards away. One man bad his stable bli^wn into the next township, but his horse, cow, calf and buggy, which had been in tha burn, were found next morning on tha ground where the barn bad formerly stood. A blind child was found clinging; to the dead body of its mother and beg- ^ng plteously for her to wake up. Every tree in a grove of 200 cotton- wood* was twisted off at a distance of six feet from the ground. MIRACULOUS ESCAPES. The house of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, near Bigelow. was blown away while they were sleaping. Tbey were only, slightly scratched. 'The house of Robert Sweeney, at Reserve, waa blown away. His two boys were in bed together. One waa kkiUed, while the other waa uninjured. A twelve-year-old ^1 at Preston was blown through a window, but waa not injured. When Mr. Irvin's family emerged from their cellar, where they had taken refuge, the house formerly atxive It had disappeared. A pump, with connecting pipe and chain, waa pulled from a cistern and blown into a neighboring yard and do- posited upright. Chickens, duoka and geese were en- tirely stripped of feathers.
