The honeymoon bad repeated itself cued out into a year. when Lawrence Smytbs Smith and his you": wife returned to l-lnglsndwto cast anchor or a time at l'ppcrfold until they had decided on their own special mooring. The rejoicing over the return of the son and heir were to be of the most resplendent kind; and the pro- gramme. as drawn out by the London organizer hired to give form to the feclin s of the Hmythc Smiths, was eminent y satisfactory. Our cousins across the Atlantic put this tangible shaping of their feelings in a very crude form.

Lady Elizabeth and her father were standing on the terrace that dominated the fisrdcn and looked over to the park. Lad ingshousc was within. Not even an sac a summer‘s day as this did she venture much into the open air. and her embroidery had become to her b now what all hobbies become~hsr very li s. " I an Anthony Ilarford will come over ? " said Lord Kingshonss suddenly. He and his daughter had been standing quits silent for some little time. both ap- parently watching the scene. and each thinking of something else. "I suppose s-o.‘ answered Lady Eliza- bath. Her cheeks flushed just as much as if a handful of monthly roses had been held near them and the sun had thrown the re- flection of their color on her face. “ Ah, shot marriage of his Wss s blunder," said my lord. with a sigh for the one part. a shrug for the other. “ it was a pity." sue answured. "That poor misguided girl i” be con- tinued. “ l was danced vary for her all through.“ “ Yes," said Lady Elizabeth; suffered as much as any; perhaps than any." “ if. we had not bad that dinner.

That dinner to have ruled the destinies of three people!" .. Yes," she said. And she sai<l no more. She found tho conversation difficult. Just then they saw a horseman come along the park road, which ran along the garden wall. H. was a cross kind of road. made for the convenience of the family when their business lay to the cast and not to the south or West. It was the road which gave into the highway leading on to Thrift. “ That looks uncommonly like lfarlord 1“ said the earl. “I think so. too.” ssid Lsdy lilizsbcvb, who knew that it was be. And then the horseman. erasing, them. took of} his hat and settled the . :‘eulion of his identity. In a few minutes snore shay heard his voice in the room behind them. talking to Lady Kingshcuse and expressing his lessure at seeing her again. '1‘ ie earl stepped back out of the sun shine into the cool shadow of the horn. Lady Elizabeth turned half around in the attitude of a persou expectant but not to avoid with a welcome ready when claimed. but not thrust forward with too much in sictance. Her lips were parteil into a smile which had in it the crisp lines of pain as well as the frankness of pleasure. and her eyes were dilated till their tender gray was transformed to black. Anthony shook hands with Lord Kingshousa. and repeated the cordial phrases he had used to the countess. but he saw only Lsdy Elizabeth as she stood on the terrace. hell in profile and all in sunlight, her eyes turned to the park. while her heart and her senses were in the room. Then. the rightful amount of attention bestowed upon. the authorities, Anthony came uni on to the torreca, the hands of the two friends met. and his eyes looked on her with that long searching look which sot-med as if it would scan her very soul and armor be weary of what it saw. It was not Anthony‘s way to be hilarious or boyish. Let his mirth be ever so strong. it was deep rather than broad. and always more quiet than demonstrative. Those who knew him best would have seen most clearly how he enjoyed all the circumstances of the day. while ever maintaining his, ordinary demesnor of self-restraint and the repose which goes with dignity. [ls went out of his, wcy more than once to show the filmythc filmiths the sympathy of a neighbor and a fellow-landowner with all they had planned and done; and be congratulated them on the success of their fate. and even carried the beauty of the day to the good of their aocouutl-as if the skies had been swopt clear by their become and the south wind had been blown through their News. He was the very some of amiabil ty. the very perfection of kindly courto‘: and every one said how bravo Squire Ilarford looked to-day r-tbe firs} dry. Ended. that he did not seem to be hounisd {w his poor wife‘s ghost. He did not laugh ; b». .d not joke; he did not make sly grimsoe expressive of his ' ebullient spirits; but be impressed them all with the sense of his hidden joy. and Mrs. Bmyths Smith. for all her prooocu potion with her own concerns. said once to her husband. in a meaning whisper. " What has come to Anthony Harferd'? lie looks as if he met an angel by the way i ‘ “ Perhaps he did.” said her husband. who knew as well as she how things stood. 86 the glad day passed.and than Anthony .“ Shh more to Up rfold clothed as a Christian culls» man s culd be for a dinner and I ha] . No word had been said. but Lady Elizabeth's heart was full of that balfâ€"coufev-sd joy which has its other name in fear. Ha hsd looked so much-hs had made her feel so much; and surely be was not the kind of man to wilfully mislead and chfy betray! He had made her feel that he loved born that the could give him back his lost happi- ness. and replace the absent in his heart.

Ila had deceived her once unwis- ting] . or rather she had deceived. herself; but t is time surely she was no‘i followin a marsh ugh“ Surely he loved her. as would prize her love for him! She was no longer tbs more childish ingemu who does not realise her own sensations. She was a woman who understood life-«ave in such forms of visa and vllsnsss as cons but rarely into a good woman‘s .pmvlncs to understand it all.

As electric motor adapted to propelling vehicles upon streets is said to have been successfully invented at Indianapolis. It has long been the belief of many who have given the subject consideration that some method would soon be in use for propelling pleasure carriages alon the streets and boulevards by mechanics means in lieu of horses. and numerous efforts have been made in that direction. We published some time ago an illustration of acarriage moved by steam generated by a small supply of naphtha or similar liquid carried under the seat, but this device. which appears to be used with some success in Germany is evidently open. in some degree at least. to the objections of danger and noise. A cart propelled by elect city has been operated in London. but it use not seem to have owing both to the insuffi- ths battery was and' the liobility cf derangement. he Indianapolis inventor claims that he can furnish a vehicle with electric motive power sufficient to run twenty-four hours without recharg. ing and so arrsnged that the speed can he graduated as desired. Electric“ has mmplisbad such wonders of late t at it is easy to believe that it will be harnessed up for the service of man so as to nafvly and noiselessly propel his pleasure vehicles along the streets and highways.

(in grim: into the bed chamber where hi. 10 year “lll son was in bed. he saw a horrified expression on the face of the led. (in following: the direction of the son's eyes. he saw the tar. antula on his bosom crawling slowly towards his head. The boy was game. and although the pots irstion stood in large drew upon his b sncheil face. he never strained a muscle. The father stood trans- fixed and dared not stir forfear of distwh mg the deadly animal. At last the spider slowly moved. and jumped on the poor boy's face. The brave little fellow still remained calm in this awful danger. For fully five minutes the tarantula remained on his check. and then skipped on to the counterpane. As it did so the father rushed forwurd and rolled the fabric round it, and then dashed it on the floor. crush- ing the life out of the fearful creature. and afterwards threw it in a fire to make sure this time that such a deadly " viper " had ceased to live. The little hero in the bed had fainted from the great strc-u upon his curves. but upon coming to his senses was as lively as a cricket. and lauched at his late peril. When asked what his series. tions were while the animal was crawling over him. he said : “ I kept wiéhing pa a wouldn't try to touch it. for fear it mix 1!: kill him."
