Celeste sat at work in the anteâ€" room _ of Neva‘s chamber, and adâ€" mitted the visitors into Neva‘s preâ€" sence, entering with them. And outside the house, upon the lawn, the four shadows came nearer and yet nearer. They flitted up the steps of the porch, and in at the open door. They paused a moment in the deserted lower hall, and then, hearing voices above, came silently and darkly up the stairs, and paused at the door of the anteâ€"room. That â€" room was deserted. The light streamed from the inner room, where Neva and her enemies wore grouped. ‘The sound of voices cams out to the intruders. Softly, with sternly â€" eager faces, the four crept across the floor of the anteâ€"rnoni, and _ twoâ€"Sir _ Harold Wynde and Lord Towynâ€"looked _ in â€"upon the Blacks and their young victim. The earl breathed hard, and would have leaped in like & lion to the rescue ef his betrothed and to the confusion _ of his enemies, but Sir Harold Wynde held him back with a grasp â€" of iron. ‘The baronet meant to learn the falseness and perfidy of the wife he had so idolized and trustâ€" ed, from her own lips. And with what unconscious frankâ€". ness she bared her guilty seul to his scrutiny. How completely she reâ€". vealed her wickedness to him. At the moment the intruders lookâ€" ed in with burning eyes upon them, Octavia was speaking. Neva stood up near the fire, vory pale amd slenâ€" der and fragile of figure, as her fathâ€" er â€" and lover saw with swelling hcarts, but her redâ€"brown eyes glowâ€" ed with the light of an undying courage, her head was poised haugkâ€" tily upon her slender throat, and her lips were curled in a smile of daunt» less defiance. ‘‘You see, Craven," Octavia wes saying querulously. _ ‘‘We have starvâ€" ed _ the girl; we have fed her for weeks on bread and water, until her bodily strength must be nearly gone, and yet she stands there and defies us.

Hard study at school, coupled with the lack of attention which every young girl merging into womanbood should bave, is responsible not only for the many pale faces and attenusted forms met with such lamentable frequency,|. but is responeible also for the loss of many valuable young lives.

Upon mothers especially devolves a great responsibilâ€" ity as their daughters approach womanâ€" hood. The following truthful story told a reporter of the Sun by Mrs. O.
