It was the morning att«r the inqnest, and Talentine had began his new occupation as man of all w.rk so soon as there was light in the dall grey sky to allow him to set about hia labours. The sisters were astir at dawn, working diligently, lighting fires, sweeping the stairs, and cleaning the lower rooms. Valentine relieved them of those rougher tasks which they bad performed hitherto. He washed out the back yard, washed and heartbstoned steps and window sills, and cleaned all the lower windows. Inex- perience made him clumsy, but energy and strength of will carried him through the work much better than could have been expected. " I had no idea window-cleaning was such interesting work," he eaid to Madge, as she gave him his breakfast of tea and bread in the parlour, where she and the two sisters bad breakfasted previously. Their morning ' fare was cnly dry bread. Butter was a luxury reserved for the evening. There was ' a wholesome meel of meat and vegetables at two o'clock. Tea was taken between five and six, after the inmates had been eerved and there was a supper of bread acd cheese I at ten o'clock. The sisters who sat up with ' the sick were allowed tea and bread 1 and butter in the course of the night, but neither wine nor beer was drunk by any of the sisterhood, and stimnUnts were only given to patients when ordered by the doctor. Valentine took his tea and bread with as contented a epirit as if he had been in the centre of Africa, and no better fare had been possible. •* I'm afrid you will soon grow tired of window- cleaning and of dry bread," said Madge, contemplating him with her grave slow smile, full of thought. '"i on do not knew me. If I am strone for evil, I may also be strong for good. I mean to eerve you â€" as Caliban served Pros- pero, yet not like Caliban. He served for fear I am your slave for love. I shall be ready to clean the outeides of the upper windows as soon aa I can begin witho disturbing the patients. I am promised the loan of a ladder from your mUkman round the corner." " That milkman is a treasure. He keeps one particular cow for our consumptive patients, and, tboujih I believe he adulter- ates all the rest of his milk, our supply is al- ways pure and he charges us a halfpenny a quart less than other people pay. You cannot think how good people are to us." Stifled sob had mixed with th« prayers o" the community. Valentine seated himself by the window, and unfolded h8 " Telegraph." He began with a sweeping survey of the pages, to see what was beet worth reading. A Stbakob Casb in Devohsbibb. " Considerable excitement has been creat- ed at the town of Chadford, North Devon, by the finding of a body in che Abbey river near that town, under circumstances which appear to indicate foul play; The body has been identified as that of the wife of Mr. Belfield, of Belfield Abbey, Chadford, whose disappearance from her home waj one of I the social scandals of last autunm." Here followed a full report of the Coroner's in- quest, and the arrest of Sir Adrian Belfield on suspicion of being concerned in the mur- der of bis sister-in-law. " The startling character of the revel- ations, the social position of the parties in- volved, and the respect which is felt for them in the neighborhood, combine to ren- der this one of the most extraordinary cases that has come before the public for many years, and the result of the adjourned in- quest will be awaited with keen anxiety." Slowly and deliberately Valentine Bel- field read and pondered over the report of the inquest. To him who was in the secret, the circumstances of his guilt seemed to start out into the broad light of day from the evidence of those witnesnes. The nn- flnished letter â€" broken off in the middle of a sentence â€" the missing rug found tied abcut the victim's body. His own secret visit to his mother's house. His brother's vigil. All pointed at the fact of murder. Yet how, in the face of such evidence against him. had they dared to arrest his brother 7 Under suspicion of being concern- ed in the murder Yes he had been with the murderer in tbat dreadful hour after the deed was done. They two had been to gether, and the law might call Adrian an accessory to his brother's crime. He was still sitting by the window, poring over the report, when Mad^e came ia, carry^ ing a tray with the fragments of tho up- t stairs meal. "Come, brother John,' she caid, chuerily, as she set a dish on the table. " My people were in very good appetite, but there is plenty left for ypu and me. I am sure you must bo ready for dinner." •' Not quite," he answered, gravely, " and I'm afraid I shall spoil your dinner if I tell yon what has taken away my appetite." She went over to him, and laid her hand upon his shoulder, looking down at the news- " III go out and lock after my ladder," pap^r- Her quick eye caught the familiar said Valentine and he walked off in a busi- Dames directly, and she read the report of nees like manner, wearing his fustian and 1 ^^^ inqueet across his shoulder, corduroy as if he had never worn anything "You see I was right,' she said "there gentle toach, 1m looked np aodfhdr eyes met. ' Say that yon loye me, Madge, and I will doauytiiiiu;." "Yea, riove yonâ€" yes, I always lored yon. It was love for yon that drove me out into the world in my despair, to fiod some- thing to fill my empty heart, aching for love of you. It was love of you that sought relief in soothing the misery of sinners. I have always loved you, but do this one brave thing, and I can respect and honour yon. " Will yon marry me, Madge, if Jack Ketch does not get me " "Yes." " That is a promise worth waiting for. Will you wait for me, Madge, if they keep me at Dartmouth till my hair is white T" "I will wait till the end of my days. Come what may, there shall be no other love in my life." " Pledge yourself to that with a kiss, Madge." He clasped his arms round her as she bent over him, and their lips met, half in sorrow, half in joy, joy on his side that she was won, would own love's subj'ction, she who had seemed to him 'too strong for Love sorrow on her side that he must stand as a criminal before his fellow men, and heziurd hia life to dohisdnlv." " When shalll start for Chadford, Madge," he asked presently. ' ' The sooner the better. The police may be on the watch for yon. I should like you to be able to return there as a free agent." " 1 ou are right. It would be hateful to go back under convoy. There is an after- noon train, a beast of a train that stops at nearly every station, the train by which I travelled that night," with a shudder. " I will go by that." " I will go with you." " Madge," he cried, overjoyed. " I may as well keep you company on the journey, while wa are still free to be to- gether. Will you go in those clothes ' " No. They would look like a disguise. I left a suit at the slop sellers. If anyone would fetch it " " I will go for it," she answered, " and F will arrange for leaving this house for a few days." (to be continued.) The Ori^ of the Gnu. ilse. A few paces from the house he met a boy with newspapers, bcught a " Daily Tele- graph," and put it into his pocket. " For my dinner-hour's aasusement," he said to himself. " I believe the working man always reserves the news for his dinner- hour." His step, which had been so heavy and sluggish of late, in the monotonons leisure of bis country heme, was light and yet resolute to-day, as he went in quest of the ladder. He came back carrying it on his shonlder. His experiences as a sportsman had braced his muscles, and he carried the ladder as easily as if it had been a gun or an oar. He telt lighter in his mind, nearer happinecs than he had felt since that fatal nignt. In the first place, it was an infinite relief to be away from the scene]of his crime, and in the second place, there was a world of comfort in being associated with the one wonian whose icfluence cculd at once soothe and strengthen â€" the one woman who knew his ehastly secret, yet had not turned from him with loathing. He cculd never forget that kiss upon his forehead which had assured him of a wo- man's pitying love. He had taken no base ad\antage ot that si?n of tenderness he had not pressed her hacd with the vehe- mence of a paesion that will take no deui-^l. He had been humble with her, as became him in the abasement of his guilt. And he was happier now, toiling for her, than he could have hoped o be. He laboured at his task of window cleaning all the morning, one of the sisters workinc with him on the inner side of the windows and the general result was an increate of brightness which seemed like the frrerunner of spring. He saw somethine of the inirates of the Forlorn Hope in the course of hip morning's work. In the front room of the first flcor â€" cnce a drawing-room, with French ^tiiidowsandan iron balcony â€" he saw ecvcral women of various aeea, from eighteen to forty, some engaged in plain Etwiug, others in fancy needlework, and one at an ironing board. These were the convaleEcents and those who had bten received because of their destitu- tion rather than en account of ill-health. In other rooms he saw the sick in white curtained iron beds. Everywhere there were signs of careful management, cleanli- ness, inventive power, the ability to do much with little means. This humble institution, maintained by a few women, WM more interesting than the grandest building which collective charity ever raised. By half-past one, the windows were all cleaned, and Valentine went to the little room which had been allotted to him, the room where he had spent a sleepless night on a hard and narrow pallet, which the Iron Duke misht have approved. Here he washed off^the traces of his toil, brushed his fustian jacket, and prepared himself for dinner, hoping to eat HaA meal tete a tete with Madge. He had heard her say that the two sisters dined in the first floor room with the women, and that she waited upon tiiem. She mnst take her own dhaner smna- where, argued. Why not with him His hopes were strenghtfaened on „ into the psrloor, where he saw the table for two. Madge was npstaiis, where the dinner was going forward. It was she who carved and distribnted the food, while the otner two sisters ate with their charges, and mafn t aip ed the dxeettti time.ol^4 family meal.

Tdat is what I a»k yon todo. Madge. Any one can carry on your work here. No one but ycu can save me." " What if I were to eay yes I" asked Madge, after moments of deepest thought, returning that fixed look ot his witb a gaze that was still more earnest, for it seemed to peer into his very soul, "Yon lift mefrom hell to heavenatthe mere thought. Oh, Madge, be generous, reward an ungenerous lover. I lost you once by the meanness of my love. I love yon now as you deserve to be loved. Forget all I have ever been, remember only what I am â€" your slave, youi penitent adorer. Lat ns be married before the registrar to-morrow morning. We can start for Liverpool afterwards." .^^^ " And when we are gone, Valentine, when you have got clear away, what is to become of ycur brother 1 Have you thought of that question?' No, he had not thought of that but he answered almost carelessly. " He will be safeâ€" there can be no evi- dence against him." "The evidence against him is almost aa strong as against you.

The following story is told ot hiE Excellency's extraordinary snoring feat, while holding court in a Georgia town. I'he landlord put' him in a room on the ground floor of the hotel, the doors and windows of which opened on the street. Judge LumpEin, when sound asleep, could e waken the natives with his loud breathing. About midnight, when everything was quiet, the judge commencsd poffiing, blowing and snorting in hia sleep. Out on the street was a little piney woods bull, which was " monarch of all he survey- ed." He heard the snoring of lodge Lump- kin, and he must have imagined that it was one of his rivals from a neighboring planta- tion. The little bnll threw a few bushels of dirt over his back, and prepared for battle. He bellowed once or twice to notify his adver- sary tbat he was on bis ground, but it did not disturb the judge in the least. The inoriug went on without intermission. This exasperated the little bull, and curl- ing his tail over his back, he made a rush for the window, went through it, and carried everything before him. The sadden entrance of the ball into the room awakened the judge, and, taking in the situation, he left, with the bull in full pos- session of the room. • Money £noti£;h, but No Fun.

The first prinoipsd of life b destruction, and from the most remote ages the weapons of offence and defease have oocopied a prom- inent position in the history ot the world. The origin of the gun dates back to tiie cling, being a means of horlinf a projectile through the air with accoramr at a given point. Antecedent to this was the throwing of a stone with the arm, bat the sling may be given as the first step towards the ohoke-bored, hammerless, patent aoto- matic safety and genenJly peneot guns of the present day. Next in order came the J4velin, a sharp-pointed instrument propel led from the hand. Then a jonction of the sling and javelin produoed the bow and arrow, whicn formed the most effective weapon known up to that time. Aa my subject is to be sporting guns this will be the objective poin. In the poetical and other efiusiona handed down through successive ages the bow forms a leading feature of the ohronide of feats of arms. Homer in his Iliad tells of Maeaji, who, noticing the havoc made in the Trojan ranks by Diomedes, seeks Pandaruj, the archer, and with one of the marvellous shots which in this age seem incredible, put an end to the mighty deeds of bin opponent. The bow rmained unimproved till the Nor- man conquest, and up to that time the im- plement was used more for sporting purposes than in warfare. The long bow was a weap- on with which wonderful work was done, and splitting a willow wand at 40 paces was a feit ascribed to the famouu Bibert Fit- zorst, better known as Bobin Hood, who figures as the Yeoman Locksley in Scott's tales of the games promote dby Princ eJohn in "Ivanhoe," In the reign of blaff King Hal (^nry VIII. there were passed three acts ior the promotion of shooting with the long how. One probitited the use of the cross bow and hand gnu, and was promoted by those in- terested in the arrow trade on the ground that many unlawful games were practised in the open fields to the detriment of public morals and the decay of archery. The cross bow, though steadily Resisted by the Saxons, was the next improvenrent m arms, and gradually the projectile became smaller and heavier, till at last the better appreciation of the art of making gunpowder came into force. Thii was really the start- ing point of guns and the preaeut excellence of implements for hunting. To give an idea ot the introdtiction of gun- powder would be to go many years beyond the limits of iavebtigation, and the story has long been half an established one that Alex- ander the Great met firearms in India. The writings of Qaintua Cuitius eeem to hint at thu, while heathen mythology is full of words signifying weapons of fire and other kindred expressions. Bd this as it may, the introduction of powder intj Europe dates from the early portion of the Christian era. There is a Spanish treatise upon it in the Kjcurial collection dated 1249, and it was supposed that from this Roger Bacon deriv- ed his knowledge of the explosive. The heavier grades of firearms were the first, and at Seville in 1247 the city was defended by cannons throwing stones. The first at- tempt at breechloadiag is read of in the sixteenth century. As early as the four- teenth century theie were hand guns, but the matctilock was the first used on game. At a date very little anterior to 1700 can be found researches for fulmination or de- tonating powders, but nothiug of importance was discovered till towards the close of that century, when Bayen, chief army physician to Louis XV., discovered fulminate of mer- cury. This was not applied to firearms till 10 years later, when amongst the studies of the fulminates he discovered fulminate of silver. The explosive being known it was tried for pyrotechnic displays, but, owihg to the difiSculty of hanaling, it dropped out of use. Further experiments developed a substitute, and the percussion cap was the result. All this time the projectile used was in one solid mass or bjil), and except for the larger kinds of game the guns ot those days were used purely in warfare. The introduc- tion of shot-making pave a wider scope to the use of firearms, and the mazz'.e-loading sporting gun has played an important part, and t) this day fiads a place in the hands of hunters, who 5nd its cost and care less than that of the breech-loader, and the average cost to work accomplished lower than with more approved patterns. It is now many years since the breech- loading system firmly established itself in the sporting guns of the country. It was first seen in a very crude form, the advance guard of the countless styles in use being the Lefaucheux. This action was weak and imperfectly developed, but the great achieve- ment was the introducti«n of a shell or cartridge to fit the chamber of the gnu. The escape of gas through the breech was the great drawback. A happy thought was that of making the cartridge carry its own prim- er, which in th« early stages was on the pin- fire system. These have of course beea greatly improved on by central and rim-firu cartridges, but they are all only modifications and improvements on the old Lefaucheux idea. There are many plans for opening the breech, both as regards drop and snap. The first of these is represented by the general idea of the drop down, while the snap com- prises the top, side and under grip. For a much-used gun the latter is the strongest and 8ure8t,_but highly- finished guns all have the top action nowadays. The next vital improvement was the sys- tem of choke boring. This is not by any means a new idea, but has only reached per- fection in the last decade. The principle is that in order to concentrate the charge of shot and make a gun shoot more olosely the barrels must measure less in diameter at the mozzle than at some other point in the barrel other than the chamber. Any barrel constrnoted at the muzzle to tiie extent of five-thousandths of an inoh may be termed a mozzled ohoke, while thirty to forty-thoo- sandths of aa inch oonstraodon means a foil choked barreL There are two distinct plans of choke boria^. The Bnt, and prob- »bl7 the original idea, is to bore the barrel ovlinder for nearly the whole length, oon- ^Mtias it firom two and oae-haU to three laches from the mnisle. She' other system istoealarge the bore bnmediately behind the mnzzle.
