She had B^^ken truly. Never could she be sorrowful or miserable so long as her life was pa^ed by the side of the man whom Bhefirmly believed to be her lawfuUy wedded husband All other pasions-ev^n her love for her child, that^reat mother-loveâ€" were swallowed up by the deep, intense, absorb- ng love which Arundel Anthon's first ki« had awakened in her, and which all these years had been ste idily increasing. For a moment Louie was silent then s^e asked, abruptly "Mamma, have you always Lved papa as you do now?" Muriel's face flushed at the sadden ques- tion. Taking Louie's hands in her o-vn white, jewelled ones, she looked dowja mto the frank, truthful, brown eyes. "I have not told you, dear, but I did not love your father when I married him.'" A puzzled, astonished look leaped into the brown eyes, there was a shade of re- proach in the clear sweet voice as Louie said " i ou did not love him Then, mamma, how could you have married him " ' 'Because it was his wish as well as your grandfather's. I respected and honored him, and he, knowing that, was content to make me his wife, and to wait until ^f ve for him trrew up in my heart. There is no surer foundation for love, Louie, than honor and respect, and after awhile love came. Is there any aappier woman than I am to-day is there any wife who loves her husband more deai-ly than I do No and the reason ior it is that the love which comes after mar- riage, and whijCh is built upon honor and respect, is ineffably deeper, truer, and more lasting than the love which, having attained its greatest height before marriage, is sadly apt to burn itself out after a few years of married life." Though the argument was undeniably a clear one, though Muriel had spoken vei^^ earnestly, Louie was not convinced. Still she did not give voice to her own thoughts and opinions upon the subject, she only said, quietly "How long was it, mamma, alter you were married, that you began to love papa?" 'A little over a year," answ^ed Muri^. musingly, i ily playing with one of Louie's soft, gold-brown curls, winding the tress of sunshiny hair round and round her slender fingers, and thinking of that wild March night when the rain had dashed against the window.?, aud the wind had moaned about the house, and Russel had told her the story of his rackless sinning brother's life, aud show^ed her Arundel's pitiful appealing let- ter, and then had asked her if the was will- ing he should go to him in Mexico. "We had been married ab)ut ten months when he was obliged to go away from meâ€" to go away into Mexico, where he had every reason to suppose he might be detained for some time. Louie," and Muriel's eyes be- gan to darken with earnestness, "it would break my heait to have him go away from me now to remain for an indefinite period I could not bear it. Then I felt diflerently the thought of his leaving me did not till me with paasionata sorrow and pain. Still I missed him very much when he had gone, the house seemed very lonely without him, andl re=!olved that when he returned he should find me more living and devoted than I had ever been. He was detained longer even than be had expect d t« be. It was March wh:n he went away, it [was June when he came home to meâ€" and how well 1 remember that day I had no idea he was on his way back 1 had grown weary and heartsick waiting for a letter to come to me telling me.whea I might expect him yet 1 did not blame him for not writing 1 knew that was impossible, for the business which had called him to Mexico led hira out upon the plains, far away from any post-town 1 had been lying down and waked out of a iound sleep to hear that my husband was in the house, and just as I was, ^^^"7 f^^^"^^ I went to meet him.

"And yet, Louie, you mi^ht not love a man .whom your father and • 1 considered in every respect soitoble for you "Then I should never marry him," said the girl firmly, a little determined look set- tling about her mouth. "Nothing in this world would tempt me to become the wife of a man I did not love with my whole heart." Muriel was rather unpleasantly surprised. She had never thoroaghly analyzed Louie's nature; now for the first time she dissevered that there was in it a depth, and strength, and firmness such as she had never thought of. "But, mamma, you have not told ms whether I can go abroad with the Brent- wOods, and I promised Alioe 1 should see her in the morning and give her your an- swer. Oh, mamma, please say yes." It was very hard indeed to resist the plead- ing expression upon the lovely upturned face, the sweet coaxing voice, and Muriel eaid, as she pressed her lips on the low, white forehead "It shall be as papa says if he is willing, then, Louie, I will say yes " Louie sprang to her feet. "I will go and ask him now," she said gleefully, and in another instant the heavy portiere had fallen over the white-clad figure and Muriel was alone. In his. luxuriously fitted-up smoking-room â€" a room whose furnishings and decorations betrayed the highly aultured and aesthetic tastes of its owner, Arundel Anthon was sitting. The. evening paper lay upon his knees, but he was not reading. With his handsome head thrown back upon the cushions of his chair, he was watching she feathery rings of cigar smoke, which from time to time he blew from his lips, iloat away up toward the ceiling. A frown darkene i his face as the sound of light, rapid footsteps fell upon his ears â€" he knew to whom those light footsteps belonged. "Would to Heaven the girl was wheie I could never see her " he muttered. "But for her I could crush down this horrible re- morse which of late has arisen so often with- in me. His eyes look oat at me from her face every gesture and posture of hers re- minds me of him. 1 shall never be able to rid myself of the idea that through her â€" hifi child â€" will punishment come upon me." 'â- Come in," he said, in answer to the low, half-tirriel knock upon the door. 'What is it?" he asked coldly, as Louie stepped into the room. Going nearer tD him, btanding with her hand resting upon the carved table in the centre of the room, Louie made known her request, finishins with, "And mamma says, if you are p rfectly willing that I sliould go, then she will give her consent." He drew a long breath of satisfaction. Nothing would please him better than that the girl should take herself out of his sight. She was the bitter drop in his oup of happi- ness when she was not by, he could stifle the voice of conscience, crush down the bit- ter remembrance of his deadly sin. "I think it would be a very nice oppor- tunity for you to go," he said, more friendly than he was apt to speak to her, "and since you are so anxious to go, I willingly give my consent. When do the Brentwoods sail, Louie *;" "The second week in June, papa. "To remain how long " "About four months, papa." "Very good. You can do a great deal of travelling in that time, and I have no doubt but that you will enjoy every moment of it. You shall have all the money you want, Louie. I believe young ladies of the present day have a deciled weakness for Worth toilets and Parisian bonnets, and I shall place at your disposal a sum sufficiently larga to enable you to indulge that weak- ness. The lovely face flashed with happiness. "Oh papa, you are so kind and good, and I thank you so very much," Louie said, touched and made happy by her father s unwonted tenderness. Arundel shuddered as he met the lustrous brown eyes; just at that moment they v ere so terribly like the eyes of the man he had left to die alone out on the plains of Mexico, that It made him sick and faint to look into them. 1 Mechanically he took up his paper, and, thinking she had interrupted his reading, Loui« turned to leave the rooms. "Again I thank you, dear papa, mured. • u „i,^ He drew a long, quivering sigh when she had left him. .^ ,„ "Great God I what a mockery it is he muttered.

Far away beyond the walla of the town stretched the wooded hills, and by turning her heed Louie couitt see the old castle â€" a veritable castle on the Khineâ€" which for so many years has overlooked the town and over all the landscape fell the golden after- noon aad sunshine. How much she had enjoyed it â€" this tnp abroad, and not alone to her, but to the Brentwoods as well, had the trip so far been a most en joyable one. The voyage across the Atlantic had been a charming one, the weather had been very favorable, not one of the party had suffered from sickness â€" the bane of ocean travelâ€" longer than a few hours. "Just enough to let us know what real seasickness is," Louie had said laughincly, to Aline Brentwood. "People who have never been across the water donot really know what sea-sickness is, but we know now, don't we Aline " They had stopped in London and Paris long enough to get a very fair idea of those great cities, had wandered through France and Germany visiting all the places most frequented by tourists, then into Switzer- land, where, after spending a few days at luterlacheu. Lake Constance, and Zurich, they had come directly from the last men- tioned place to Schaffhausen, for Mr. Brent- wood, who had been there before, wanted them to see the famous falls of Schaffhausen, three miles below the town. They had only been there a day, and in forty-eight hours time expect.d to leave it. That morning Louie, who had been out strolling about the town with Mr. Brent- wood and Aline, had gotten very tired, so tired that after dinner a dull headache had eame on and she had remaintd abhome while the others went for a walk, thinking that the rest and quiet would do more for her than any amount of medicine. For an hour or more she eat there in the open window watching the afternoon shadows beginning to fall upon the distant hills, and thinking dreamily, wondering if her mother at New- port was enjoying the beautiful summer days half as much as he was. She had not been a bit homesick the greater part of her life had been spent at boarding-school, aud she had not really been at home enoiigi to make it seem strange or unnatural for her now to be away from it. Still, though she had never been very much with her, she loved her beautiful mother very dearly, and a sudden longing to see her came over her as she sat there alone. One cannot help feel- ing a little lonely when one remembers that the great ocean rolls between theifi and their nearest and dearest ones. Her reverie was broken up by the entrarc3 of Alice Brent- wood into the room. Aline, her beautiful dark face flushed with exercise, her dusky hair a little disordered by her walk, her wide-brimned chip hat adorned with bunch- es ot edelweis. "Is -your headache letter, lyouie?" she asked. "Yes? I am so glad, I guesa it is just as well that you did not go with us, for, though we took a lovely walk, it was a long one, and it fo warm this afternoon. Oh, I am so tired!" and Aline sank down upon the bed and lay there fannin'g herself with her straw hat. ,_ "We met some very nice peopTe this after- noon, Louie," she continued after a mo- ment's silence, "a party from Boston, and we are all going down to the falls to morrow morning. I am quite anxious to see those fallsâ€" I think it is lovely here in Switzer- land, don't you, Louie?" And then the two girls fell into conversa- tion, talking about the various places they had visited, the things they had seen, the people they had met talking and laughing as only two young, carelessly happy girl- friends can talk and laugh. "Neither of us have lost our hearts," said Aline, merrily, at last. "Don'tbi-ag," Uughed Louie, "you may lose yours. Aline, sooner ihan you think." Ah, Aline Brentwood was to lose her heart, very much sooner than she had any idea of. The nest morning came bright, c'ear, and beautiful, and at quite an early hour they started for the Schaffhausen falls. The Bos- ton people proved a most agreeable addtion *o the party. They consisted of pater and materfamilias, their married daughter an I her husband, and two younger children, a girl about sixteen and a young gentleman of one or twoand-twenty, who from the very moment he was introduced to her, remained steadfastly at Louie's side. Tliey were all very enthusiastic over the fa"ls, as well they might be, for the Rhine, at that place about three hundred feet wide, descends a height of more than seventy feet. After they had looked at and expatiated over tho falls to their hearts' content, they strolled away in groups of two and three â€" Louie and her devoted friend wandering off by themselves into the woods to look for ferns and wild flowers. Interested in their conversation, the two went deeper into the woods than they tupfweed, until suddenly Louie discovered that she was a little fa- tig'i'Jf' and sat clbwn upon a rock to rest. "But I have not half enoneh ferns," she said, as her companion, of whoai to tell the truth, she was a trifle weary, would have seated himself by her side, "And ttiere are BO many lovely onas around here would you mind getting me a few more " The young Bostontaa would have much preferred to sit down beside her, for he con raoeatlyarreitta here were MiOTe the Police Court charged with CMiapuacy to mar- der Goverament offioere. Tblt oourt • room waa crowded. Great discrimination wiu exBCCJMid iii the adauBsion of citiaans. There waa' • ItaKO crowd outaide. During the progresB of the hearing atarUing revelationa were made. An informer swore thatseraai of the priB»er8, indudinc Mr. Carey, a laember of Hko municipality, were present at a Feniaa meeting, where the informer was a^el to loin the inner circle formed for the aatassination of oflScers. The name ot the informer is Farrell. He acknowledged hav- ing taken part in the attempt to assassinate a juror. He swore that one of the prisonere, named Hanlon, informed him that ho had taken part in the attempt to murder Field that Brady stabbed Field, and that Kelly also participated in the affair. Farrell also testified that each Fenian contributed 3d. weekly to purchase arms that the city had been marked into districts, and military inspections were held occasional]}' at whica most of the accused men were present. At one of these meetings, John Devoy, whe said he came from America presided. The orsranization. he said, had existed for several years. Farrell said picked men formed aa assassination committee. They were ignor- ant of each other. Daniel Carley gave him (Farrell) a revolver, and told him to stop Mr. Forster's carnage opposite Ellis Quay, when Jim Kelly and Joe Brady would de the remainder. The plot failed through a mistake. Farrell identified Kelly, Brady, Curley, Maloney, Dwyer, and Boyle, all of whom were present in the prisoners' dock as having been present on Ellis Quay when the attempt was made. Curley waa very much vexed at the failure. Farrell .said that Brady, Kelly and Rankin, the last of whom is now in Limerick, followed Mr. Forster's carriage in a cab on anoth- er occasion, and that MacMahon, who ,vas lately accidentally shot, was assisting by watching on foot. All the prisoners were remanded tor a week. Miles Kavanagh, who is aa informer swore that he drove the car on which Field's assailants Escaped. He it now in custody. Immediately after the Phcpnii Park murders he was apprehended and dv- tained two aays on suspicion of having driv- en the car on which the assassins ot Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke escaped It is reported that six of the prisoners who were in the do;k offered to become approvers, bat up to tl t present time the authorities have accepted only one of them, who will be examined at tlie next hearing. It is said that there are three other inform- ers. The name of Poole, Bevine aud Delaney are mentioned. The Detective Department is besieged with persons offering to give in- formation. Several suspected persons left Dublin during the week. A detective is in pursuit of one important individual. The purchase of the revolver that Devinc had when Detective Cox was murdered will be proved also the purchase of knives found near the residence of one of the prisouor.-*. Evidence will be given of the i.ssuing of summonses in the handwriting of Joseph Mullet for meetings of the "centres." The appearance of three of the ir arraigned exactly corrcspon Is with the scnption of the three murders of Lord Frederick Caven- dish and Mr. Burke. The Police intend making five more arrests. Mullet, the al- leged leader of tho assassination committee' is a hunchback. Tho Crown is conGdcnt at success in the prosecution of tin,- pi is-jin rs. Curley is one of the "centres." Tasmania. .Some statistics just issued by the Govelu- ment of Tasmania are interesting, as show- ing the increase m tho use of agricultural machinery in the colony during 18S1. Last harvest the acreage of wheat reaped by ma- chinerywa3 29,081, aad by hand 22.671. Ten years ?go only 2,389 acres were reaped by machinery, as against 60,051 reaped by hand. Lift and force pumps have increased to a very great extent., viz from 15 in 1874 to 175 in 1881 and all other agricultural machines and appliances, with the single ex- ception of clod-crushers. Thus chafl-cutters, which in 1862 were G7, last year were 494, the number worked by steam being 4 and 2* respectively cultivators were 48 in 187'2 and 168 in 1881. Of coru-crutliers only one was reported as being in the colony i 1872, but there were 126 last year. The use of hay-elevaton has fluctuated very consider- ably, but, on the whole, it has been in favour of the later years; while hay-rakes (horse) increased from 103 to 22!». Horse- shoes, grubbers, and scarifiers were G.'U in 1881, compared with 858 in 1872 .subsoil ploughs '236 last year, agaiust 28 in 1872 â€" ail increase of 743 per cent. Double-furrow poughs, ot which there were none io 1872, and only 4 in 1873, increased to 450 in 1881, and in the latter year 1 1 treble- furrow- ploughs were also returned. Reaping ma- chines increased in the ten years from 66 to 140; reapers and mowers combined, from 35 to 357 strippers, from 2 to 9. The combined reaper and binder was introduced into the colony in 1879-80. The number then returned was 47, whereas in- 1881-82 as many as 130 were found to be in use. Canadian manufacturers should make anottf of these facts.

The Mayor signed and stamped the document without reading it, little dreaming that it would be used as evidence against tiimself with the Prefect. most agreeable girls he had ever met but in his case, "To hear was to obey." "Most happy, I am sure," hp said, and the "most happy" was only one of the little 4eceit0 whiph are practiced daily and hourly in secie'y. (to BK OOXTIKIWD.) :.
