 .FOR GET-ME- NOT. Published by agreement with the publisher? from advanced sheets of Ghambtra'a Journal. if. I â- Bk' CHAPTER in. In point of artistic beauty and delicausy of floral arrangement throughout Arliqgtdn Street, No. 281 certainly bore away the palm for Mws Dene, like most conntry girls, had a positive passion for flowersâ€" a graceful fancy she was fortunately in a posi- tion to gratify. Many an envious eye fell upon that cool facade with its wealth of gtorious bloom many a darling of fashion paused as he passed on his listless way, and forgot his betting-book and other mundane speculations, to wonder lazily who might some day be the fortunate man to call that perfectly-appointed mansion and its beautiful mistress his own. For Vere Dene could have picked and chosen from the best of them, and graced their ancestral homes but now she was five-and-twenty so they came at last to think it was hopeless, and that a heart of marble pulsed languidly in that beautiful bosom. The hall-door stood invitingly open more, perhaps, in reality to catch the faint summer breeze, for the afternoon was hot, and inside, the place looked cool, dim and deliciously in- viting. On a table there lay a pair of long slim gauntlets, threw carelessly upon a gold- ' mounted riding-whip and coming dowii the shallow stairs, against a background of leathery fern and pale gleaming statuary, i was Miss Dene herself. A stray gleam of sunshine, streaming through a painted window, lighted up her face and dusky hair; a beaiitifid face, with creamy pallor, over- laid by a roseate flush of health. The dark- brown eyes were somewhat large a trifle hard, too, a stern critic of beauty might have been justified in saying the tall grace- ful figure drawn up perhaps too proudly. Verei)ene was, however, no blushing de- butante, but a woman who knew her alpha- bet of life from alpha to omega who was fully conscious of her power, and the value of herposition well enough to discern between honest admiration and studied fiattery, and to gather up the scanty grains of truth with- out mistaking chaff for golden corn. There was no reflection of wistful memory on the heiress's face as she rode slowly dow^l the street some time later, the cynosure of ad- miring eyes. There was a rush and glitter of carriages hurrying parkwards, as she rode onher wayalone, bowingto one acquaintance or another, and dividing her favours im- partially. "A beautiful face," murmured a bronzed soldierly-looking man to his companion as they lounged listlessly against the rails of the Row, patching the light tide of fashion Bweeping by, "A perfect face, wanting only soul to make it peerless. Who is she, Leslie?" â- "Who is she " laughed the other. "Is it possible you do not know Miss Dene But I forgot you had been so long in India. You remember old Vavasour Dene, of course, and his son, the poetical genius, who married some demure little country maiden, imknown to De'brett or Burke, and who was cut off lYith the traditional shilling accordingly. You can imagine the rest of the story a life-long feud between father and son, end- ing, as it usually does, in the parent's dying and cheating condemnation by a;n act ot tardy justice. That handsome girl is old Dene's heiress, a woman with all London at her feet, a quarter of a million in her own ' right, and never a heart in the whole of her I perfect anatomy," Wholly unconscious of this storiette, and apparently of the admiration she naturally excited. Miss Dene rode on down the Mile, with many a shake of her shapely head as one gloved hand after another beckoned her to range alongside barouche or mail phaeton till at length a slight crush brought her to a standstill." Almost in front of her was an open stanhope, wherein was seated a deli- cate fragile-looking lady, exquisitely dress- ed, and apparently serenely indifferent to the glances and smiles in her direction. By her side sat a child of six or seven, a dim- inutive coimterpart of herself, to her fair golden hair and melting pansy-blue eyes. Vere would fain have pushed her way through the crowd and passed on but the child had seen her, and uttered her name with a cry of innocent delight and Vere, like many another who is credited with want of heart, had a tender love for child- ren. "Reallj' I owe Violet my grateful thanks," murmured the owner of the stanhope as Vere ranged alongside. "Positively, I began to fear that you meant to cut me. I should never have forgiven my brother, if you had. My dear child, I warned him it was useless; I did indeed. And now he says that his heart is broken, and that he shall never be- lieve a woman any more. " Vere looked down into the Marchioness of Hurlingham's fair demure face with a little smile. "So Lord Bearhaven has been abusing me " she said. "I am disappointed. I did not think he would have carried his woes into the boudoir. " "My dear Diana, he has done nothing of the kind. Surely a man migL be allowed to bewail his hard lot with his only sister. Violet, my darling child, do be careful how you cross the road. " This warning, addressed to the diminutive little lady, who had succeeded unseen. in opening the carriage door came too late for by this time the volatile child had recognised some beloved acquaintance over the way, and indeed was alreswiy beyond the reach of warning. Vere watched the somewhat hazardous passage breathlessly, then, satis- fied that her small favourite had made the dangerous journey in safety, turned to her companion again. " I have a genuine regard for Lord Bear- haven," said she, speaking with an efibrt, " too great a regard to take advantage of his friendship under false pretences. I shall never forget the kindntww ne once did me in the hour of my great trouble. Will you tell him so, please and say that perhaps for t^e present it will be well for qb not to meet." " Now, that is so like botii.of you," Lady Hurlingham cried, fanning herself fai some little heat. " Why will 3roa both persist in making so serious a business of life?ataiiyrate you might hare some consideration for xa more frivolous-minded mortals. Vere, Ht yon do not come to my Jewd Ball on Thursday, I â€" I â€" ^well, I will never speak to you again." " So I am to be coerced, then. I am mor-, ally bound to be present since the Society' papers have promised the world a si^btof the Vere diamonds besides which, I sunply da-e not incur your ladyship's displeasortk"' "'I wonder if yotit have a heart at all," said the other. "Sometimes I almost doubt it and the times I generally doubt it most are immediately after those moments when I have flattered myself that I really have begim to detect symptoms of that organ. The roman- tic ones have been libelling again. Would you like to hear the latest story " " You stopped me for this, I presume. Positively, you will not know a moment's peace till you have told me. I am all atten- tion." "They are saying you have no heart, be- cause it was given away long ago they say there is a rustic lover somewhere in hob- nails and gaiters who won your affections, and is afraid to speak since you became a great lady." Vere did not reply or glance for a moment into lier friend's sparkling mischievous face. A deeper tinge of colour flushed the creamy whiteness of neck and brow, like the pink hue upon a snowy rose. "They do me too much honour," she re- plied. "Such a model of constancy in this world of ours would indeed be a pearl amongst women. Pray, do they give a name to this bashful Corydon of mine " "Naturally, nothing but the traditional second cousin, ma chere. Really, it is quite a pretty romance â€" the struggling artistic genius who is too proud to spe^k, now you are in another sphere. Surely you are not offended " In spite of her babyish affectations and infantine innocence, mere mannerisms over- lying a tender kindly heart, Helena, March- ioness of Hurlingham, was not entirely without an underlying vein of natural shrewdness. She was clever enough to see now that the innoc«itly-directed shaft of a bow drawn at a ventute had penetrated be- tween the joints of Vere's armour, in spite of her reputation for being perhaps the most invulnerable woman in London. " I am not offended," Vere answered, recovering her chill composure at length "only such frivolity annoys one at times. What a lot of idle scandal poor womankind has to endure â€" What is that " Gradually above the roll of carriages, the clatter of hoofs, the subdued murmur of voices and light laughter,alouder,sternerhum arose. Borne down on the breeze camedistantsonnds of strife, and now and then a shriek in a wo- man'sshrillnotes; il. seemed to swellas if some panic had stricken the heedless crowd farther down the drive. Every face restlessanduneasy with the sudden consciousness of some com- ing danger, was turned in the direction whence the evidence of trouble arose, as a carriage and pair of horses, coming along at lightning speed, scattered pedestrians and riders right and lett, like a flock of helpless sheep, in a wild medley of confusion. As if by magic, a lane seemed to have opened and coming along the open space tore a pair of fiery chestnuts, dragging after them in their fear and fright amail phaeton as if it had been match-wood. With a feel- ing of relief, the helpless spectators noticed that the vehicle was empty, save for its driver, who, with bare head and face white as death, essayed manfully to steer the mad- dened animals straight down the roadway, a task rendered doubly dangerous and difficult from the crowded state of the Row, and the inability of certain tyros to keep the path sufficiently clear. In the Hlldit of the turmoil and confusion there arose another cry, a shout of fear and unheeded expostulation, for, crossing the roadway smilingly, without the semblance of a fear, came a little child, bearing in her hand a bunch of roses a little girl, with sunny golden curls and laughing blue eyes, standing like a butterfly before a sweeping avalanche. There was another shout, and again the tiny passenger failed to note her danger as nearer and nearer came the horses, till through the now paralyzed, helpless crowd burst the figure of a man, who, with- out a moment's hesitation, sprang forward and caught the child just as the pole of the carriage threatened to strike her to the ground. There was no longer time for an escape, a fact of which the heroic stranger was perfectly aware and grasping the laugh- ing maiden with one powerful arm, with the other he made a grab for the off-horse's he ad, and clung to the bridle with the buUdogtenac- ity of despair. For a moment the animals, checked in their headlong career, swerved to the right there was a crashing sound of broken panels, and a moment later child, rescuer, horses, and driver lay in an inex- tricable struggling confusion. For a second or two there followed a dread intense silence, as each butterfly of fashion contemplated in fascinated horror the strug- gling mass; then, before the nearest could interfere, it was seen that the stranger had risen to his feet, his garment soiled and stained, and a stream of ruddy crimson slow- ly trickUng down his face. Just for a brief instant he reeled from very faintness, till, dashing the blinding blood from his eyes, he stooped swiftly, ard at the imminent risk of his brains, drew the now thorough- ly frightened child right from under those terrible hoofs, and taking her in his arms, staggered rather than walked to a seat. Meanwhile, Lady Hurlington, beside her- self with grief and terror, the lady of fashion merged for the moment into the mother, had descended from her carriage, hsr face pale and haggard, and hurried with j Vere to the seat where the stranger reclin- ed. It was no tiuK for ceremony or class distinction. With a gesture motherly and natural, as if she had beenmoulded of mean- er clay, she snatched little Violet from the arms still mechanically holding her, with a great gush of thankfulness to find that, I with the exception of the fright, not one single hair of that golden head had been in- jured. j By this time the crowd had sufficiently I recovered from the threatened realization of j sudden death, and, with regained wit, snffi- cient society veneer to murmur the usual polite condolences and congratulations to the now elated mother. Still the rescuer sat, his face buried in his hands, a whirling, maddening pain in his head, and a mist be- jfore his eyes as if the world had suddenly ' lost its sunshine. Vere, with tears in her reyes and a trouble in her voice, pushed her way through the too sympathetic crush and laid her huid gently Hi the sufferer's arm. I 'I am afraid you are hurt,' she sud. CanI 119 anything for you f I Wliiohester, for he it was locked np ' vaguely, the- w^rda cNning to his ears like ther^ pi the sea singing in a dream, "a dreiun which was not all from the land of visions. He wondered dreamily where he had heard that voice before. With an effort he looked up again. For the first time in five years their eyes met in the full light of day. She knew mm now, recognized him in a moment. But it was scarcely the same Win- chester who had restored her lost ornament a fortnight ago. The old ^abby raiment had disappeared, giving place to a neat suit, such as no gentleman had been adiamed to wear. Fourteen days' steady work, inspired by a worthy object, had met an equal reward. It was no longer Winchester the outcast that Vere was addressing, but Winchester the gentleman, and in his heart he rejoiced that it was so. ___ Fcr a moment they were no longer the centre of a glittering host of fash- ion their thoughts together had gone back to the vanished past, as they looked into each other's eyes, neither daring to truss to words. "Jack," said Vere at lengthâ€" "Jack, is it really you " "Yes, dear, it is I," Winchester respond- ed faintly. "You did not expect to meet me like this if â€" you ever expected to meet me at all." "Do you think I forget, as â€" as some peo- ple do You did not always judge me so harshly. How could we meet better how could I feel more proud of you than I do at this moment " Gradually the crowd fell back. There was not much mischief done after all noth- ing that a clothes-brush and a little warm water would not rectify. Besides, Miss Dene seemed to know the stranger, and from one or two expressions, would appar- ently prefer to be left alone. Winchester's answering smile had no trace of its accustomeo bitterness. After all, there was something in the soft music of Vere's tones, a charm in the reckless aban- donment of self which fell upon his troub- led heart like balm in Gilead. There was- something sweet also in the consciousness that he had played the man so recently in her tig' it, under the very eyes whose bright- ness alo le he had only valued. There was a stimul int worth all the ton-cs in the phar- macopoeia. He would have spoken again, but he was suffering still from a great rush of pain and giddiness, as if the whole universe was slip- ping into space. Directly after, the feeling passed away, and he was himself once more. By this time Lady Hurlingham had driven away, while some one, more thoughtful than the rest, had remained to place his carriage at Winchester's disposal. " This gentleman is a friend of yours. Miss Dene?" he asked. "Allow me to suggest that your groom takes your horse, and that you drive likewise. You will pardon my sister's apparent heedlessness, but you see Violet is an only child, and- " Vere looked gratefully into Lord Bearhav- en's grave, handsome face, and extended her hand in an impulse of gratitude. The meet- ting she had so much dreaded was made smooth and pleasant by his kindly cour- tesy. " I might have expected this from you," she answered warmlj' " Believe me, I am deeply obliged. Mr. ^Vinchest€r is not only a friend, but a relation. " Lord Bearhaven gave Jack a hand-grip which said more than the most carefully chos- en words. But what an effort this magnanim- ity cost him, only Vere, who saw that he had heard everything, alone could tell. " I am forgiven, then " asked Winchester as they drove along Oxford Street. " Well, it is worth playing the poor part I have play- ed to-day to hear that. Ver?, Vere, what a sorry §elf-opinioaated fool I have been Do you know that for the last week I have been screwing up my courage to the stick ing-point? But whenever I found myself near you, my pluck failed." "Yon do not deserve to be spoken to," Vere replied, her cheeks aflame, her eyes laden with unshed tears, though the thrill- ing tenderness of her voice robbed the words of their sting. " How dare you venture to treat me as if I should be ashamed of my old friends?" Up to this point; W^inchester had scarce- ly dared to analyse his sensations. Now that all the impenetrable barriers of restraint were broken down between them, he found himself talking in the old familiar strain, and wondering of the last five years w'as merely a phantiism of his own creation. " And Chris," Vere ventured at length, though the question had long been trembling on her tongue, "do you ever hear anvthinc of him?" -^ Winchester told her everything, disguis- ing nothing except the part of good Samar- itan he himself had played towards the un- fortunate Ashton. It must have been an interesting conversation, for Vere's face as she listened grew very soft and tender, her eyes sweet and luminous. When at length the end of Arlington Street was reached, Winchester stopped the coachman, and in- sisted upon alighting, a step which Vere vehemently opposed. " You are coming home with me," she said. " Have you any idea who you will find waiting there to welcome you " "No" the slightest unless you have persuadedâ€" but that is impossible. Still, you must have a chaperon of some sort. Is it possible that you have our dear old Aunt Lucy at Arlington Street " "Not only possible, but an actual fact. Come you cannot refuse now." Winchester hesitated for a moment, then, with a sudden impulse, complied. Of all his relatione, the "Aunt Lucy" in question was the only one who kept a green spot in his re- collection. A few moments later he passed a welcome guest through the very portals out- side which so short a time before he stood a wretched outcast and useless membei of so- ciety. Two hours later, when he descended the steps again, with a bright eager look of ex- ultation on his face, a servant loitering in the hall saw and wondered if it was the same man whom his mistress had brought home so recently. He lingered for a moment for a few parting words with Vere. "So that is settled," he said "and if yon should feel afraid" "Afraid " she echoed soomfully. "I shall not be afraid." "I dp not think yon wUl! Now, remember yon have promised. And above all things, lord Bearh-»ven must know everything. " "I promise," she answered. "If I could only see Chris" "But you can't do anything of the kindâ€" for the present, at least. Yon most have perfect faith ia Dm. " "I have," Vert' replied, looking into Wb glowing eyes.

An instrument which can hardly be look- ed npos with atfaidljr eye by unpunctual watehmen and other employees, a part of whisse duty it is to place themselves on record at stated times, is the insumgraph. This device, by the aid of dectric currents, presents at a pre-determined time a clear space of paper for signatures at an opening in a suitable desk, and at the end of the time ot grace allowed moves it -pBt the opening. The tell-tale and time-checking systems hitherto used, owing to the fact that the necessary signals are made by elec- tric currents set in motion by discs, or plugs, or press buttons, are to a certain extent in- efficient, as th«y allow of the possibility of a false register being made while the em- ployee is absent. The insumgraph, how- ever, by making an autograph at a particu- lar moment of tune necessary, minimizes the possibility of fraud. One of the most beautifid sights in the world will soon be seen in India. The un- paralleled beauty of the Taj Mahal will be made visible at night, and still further ideal- ized by electric li^t illumination. Within the next month powerful arc lights will be placed in each of the front minarets, on each of the back minarets, and on the Musjid and Jawab. The effect will be all the more striking from the fact that the main building will have no light stationed upon it, so that the points mentioned will be thrown into magnificent relief. Recent investigations by Capt. J. P. Maclear have brought out some new and important facts concerning the behavior of lightning .under certain conditions. After examining a number of trees which had been struck by lightning, he found that those which were struck oefore the falling of rain were shattered, while those which were struck after the rain began were simply scored, and had the bark more or less blown off. These phenomena point to the fact that during rain every tree is con- ducting electricity. Other considerations affecting the issue are the position of the cloud, the amount of foliage on the tree, its conditions of moisture, and its connection with running water. In reference to a recent suggestion that an electrical tricycle would have a large sphere of usefulness, the superintendent of an electric light station writes "I have often wished for an electrical tricycle, as I could make it very useful for lamp inspec- tors on street circuits, and replace a defec- tive lamp on very short notice." He also states that he could make an elect' ical tri- cycle to carry two persons that would be of the greatest service in hunting breaks, and be preferable in many ways to the horse and hack which are now necessary on a long street circuit for expeditions and effective repairs. An enthusiastic entomologist is receiving daily from the local lineman the motlis which find their way into the arc lamp globe in an adjacent street during the night. Birds are fearlessly^ building their nests in the hoods of the lamp.*!, and we are told that an elec- tric light superintendent in Nashville receiv- a unique present from a colored workman in the form of a sack full of honey bees. The swarm was found in the hood of an electric lamp, where it had settled the day before. A singular wrinkle, which will be appre- ciated by electricians, is given in an Austra- lian electrical journal. A correspondent de- scribes the visit of the electric inspector to his station, and says that after a battery which had got out of order had been fixed up, the inspector asked for a little sugar. After some demur the apparently queer re- quest was granted. The inspector then be- gin to wash his hands in the usual way with soap and water, but after rubbing on the soap he added the sugar, and a good lather ^vas immediately produced. He said this was an excellent plan when working with magnesia or copper solutions, and complete- ly prevented the disagreeable dry feeling ex- perienced in battery work. The operator confirmed this, having found that, after washing, the hands came out clean and soft. The storage battery is destined to play such an important part in the future of electric -traction that any addition to the resoiirces which will increase its efficiency is worthy of notice. The desideratum in the stomge battery is reduced weight and increased de- livery, and the problem is being now attack- ed with a determination and enthusiasm which, judging from the progress made in the last two years, will soon establish the storage battery on a firm commercial basis. One of the pioneers in this work, as well as one of the first authorities in the country on the subject, is C. O. Maillonx, one. of the results of whose experiej:ce has just been given to the public in a new application of the' accumulator. A common source of in- convenience and difficulty in electric light- ing and power circuits is the variation in load, which may in an instant jump from nothing to the full capacity of the machines. This produces not only a very undesirable fluctuation in the electro-motive force, but also sudden and severe strains in the engine, dynamo, and entire machinery, by which the cost of repairs is materially increased. Mr. Mailloux's device consists of a novel appli- cation of the storage battery for the purpose of lessening the load of the dynamos by reen- forcing them at the proper time from the battery. The invention is an ingenious as it is useful, and it is likely to be largely and promptly adopted. A singular phenomenon is recorded on the authority of a German scientific paper. It is stated that one evening in a stearine and ceresin factory in Italy spme vats of white ceresin, which is a paraffine obtained from ozokerite, were cooling down, and when they had nearly become solid the electric Ught that illumined the room went out. The ceresin immediately became luminous whenever it was tonched, and if the hand was brought near, long sparks of nearly two inches were obtained. This remarkable luminosity is said to have lasted over half an hour.

The first bW at St iJ soon be regarded as the ancient practice f shmmgbyhand has been deah inChicar„ where electrical blacking machines are now at work on the streets. The outfit is of the simplest description. A small motor is concealed m a box beneath the foot rest of the Ijootblack's chair a flexihle shaft with one end.attached to the armature spindle has the other fitted with a revolving polish ing brush. The only other element in the outfit is a small push button, and when th's is touched the brush spins round at a speed that laughs to scorn the deftest hand that ever gave the exultant finish to the morains toilet. An ingenious instrument called the tele- cone is now used to control any individual signal at any desired point on a main line circuit. It enables a signal to be exhibited at any point without inttifeiing in any way with any other signals on the same circuit. It is worked by the or.rinary transmitting key, and the Morse alphabet is used. Thein- strumentcan be advantageously used on tele- phone lines, patrol systems, and for many purposes. One of the most bii eficial ways of purify- ing rooms in whiche the atmosphere is es- pecially liable to vitiation, is to produce ozone by electrical sparks, and the practice has been strongly recommended by the highest medical authorities. The delightful fresh- ness and, vigor which is perceptible in the air after a series of sparks from an ordinary influence machine is a proof of the salutary and refreshing influence produced. A physician in Philadelphia has taken a ven' wise step in the introduction of a small electric machine for the prqdnction of ozone. It is in a compact form, operated by a small battery, and can be conveniently carried. There is said to be a large demand for the machine for purifying the sick rooms of private patients. The great importance of telegraphy can be clearly seen from statistics lately publish- ed. It is shown that there are i.OOO.OW miles of land lines existing, valued at «210,000,000. The cables belonging to Governments are I.S.ITS miles long, ami are valvied at ^•20,000,000.
