She did not) look at him; her dark eyes dropped, and she shrunk back a little. ' "Speak one word, Huldah!" he cried. Her lips were mute; her face seemed turned to stone. "Huldah.i" he cried, dn a voice that pained my heart, “is it really you? Is it you whom I have searched the whale wide world to tInd? Speak to me!" I said "Yes," and told her that there was a Way through the woods at the back ot River House. She began to read, her book interesting her greatly. I was watching her-watehing the lovely, noble face, the dark eyes, the white, graceful hands. We had been there per- haps an hour when I heard a step behind me--a rapid footstep. I did not look round, for I felt sure it was a servant come to tell me my lawyer had arrived. Presently I lifted my head and saw Lord Wynton! Whether he saw me,I can not tell, but he had caught: a glimpse of my Compan- ion, and the next moment he was on his knees at her feet. "I have nothing to say," she mur- mured. “I have forgiven you. Leave me in peace.†“You have forgiven me!" he echoed. "Yes, as I pray heaven to forgive me. IZhave no bitterness against you in my heart. I recall every hard word I have said to you. I pray heaven to change my curse into a blessing. Now go from me. and leave me in peace." Huldah was perfectly willing to spend the morning as I wished. She took her book; and we dispensed with servants, for I prided myself on knowing how to manage a boat. No words of mine can describe the loveliness of that fair June morning; the river was like a rippling mass of gold, the sun shone brightly on it. As the sculls lightly touched the water, the sprays seemed to part in drops of gold. The air was fragrant with the breath of flowers. We fasteneed the boat to a tree, and then sat down under the shade of a silvery birch-the river run- ning at our feet. I remember telling Huldah that I expected my lawyer, and what orders I had left. “Can your servants reach us without coming by the river?†she asked. “There need be no mystery about my name, Mrs. Neville," put in Huldah. “I am called Huldah Vane Asheton. Vane was my mother's maiden name. I have used it-that is all." "Ohl if I had known," cried Lord Wynton-"if I could but have guessed-- that I was under your roof, that it was to your sweet kindness I was indebted-- It I had but dreamed you were Miss Vane!†_ "No," she replied; "it would be user. less. Pray leave me in peace." He turned despairingly to me. "Mrs. Neville," he said, "you have been a good friend before. plead for me now." And then, seeing my startled face, he continued F-- "I should Rpologize--t have disturbed you. I told you that I should visit you when I returned to England. I reached your house this morning, and your Sept ants told me you were here. They told me also you were with Miss Vane. I never dreamed ot finding in her my lost love." "It would have made no difference," she said. "I can not!†he cried, hoarsely. “You have forgiven me; you are an angel of goodness. You judged me too hardly, though. Huldah. Will you hear ma now?" "I can not stay in-dooo1ms," I said. "If Mr. Rowton comes, let one of the‘serv- ants hasten down to Lady's Bay-we shall land there. You all know where I mean-it is just beyond the River House." One day--it was the fifteenth of June --when I went out, the river looked so beautiful that I felt I must spend some hours upon it. There was a pretty little nook that Huldah and I loved dearly. Sometimes we rowed thither, taking luncheon and books with us. I went down to River House. I remembered afterward that just as I was leaving the housekeper came to remind me that I expected my lawyer on that day. Two years had passed since tho terrible railway accident happened which, to use Miss Vane’s words, had, as it were, transformed the sweet, smiling, sunny Aver into a grave. During that time Huldah Vane and myself had grown most intimate. She was greatly changed .....her anger and bitterness, her cold, hard pride, seemed to have left her. There was a gentle sadness in her face, and voice, and manner, but no gloom, no sullen brooding. She interested herself in many simple matters-her flowers, birds, and drawings. Still, I could never induce her to read a newspaper, or touch a piano. She went regularly to Daintree ohmroh,and the people treated her with a due respect. There was something pa- thetic about the grxceful, silent figure, with its long, trailing, dark robes. No one ever saw her ftuys-.it was. never un- veiled. No one ever intruded on her; and Lovely leafy June came round again, audit seemed to me this year fairer than ever. I smiled to see how Huldah was improving. Either the sweet sum- mer or returning health had brought a bright color to her face; her eyes were brilliant, her lips wore their brightest hue. All this time Lord Wynton’s name had never once passed her lips or mine. By common consent we avoided all mention of the railway accident, and what tol- lowed. when the poor round Daintree spoke ot her, it was with blessings and prayers. I must tell the remainder of my story in my own words, and after my own fashion. The events I have just related were told to me in after years-not all at once, but by degrees, and in detail.

She was always telling me, indirectly, how much she had given up tor my sake; and one evening she wept bitterly. Sottened almost to girlish pity at the sight of her tears, I implored her, to tell me why she shed them. She said that people were talking about us, and that we must part. I learned afterward that after I had gone she used to repro- duce our love-scenes for the amusement of her friends. "On the evening that I saw her weep- ing so bitterly I was deeply touched. When she talked about parting, all the boyish chivalry of my nature was aroused,and I offered to marry her. She feigned reluctance, and when she did so, my desire to make her my wife in- creased. She played with me so skillfully and so cleverly that I began at last to believe that all the happiness of my life depended on my marrying her; and then, when her feigned reluctance had done its work, we were married at the Church, of St. Roch, in Paris, and a friend of my own-Harry Gower, since dead-wat? my witness. I kept the marriage secret. not intending to proclaim it during my mother's lifetime, for even in the tirst madness of my infatuation I knew what a sore trial it would be to her. Isabelle had agreed that we should keep our mar- riage a secret until after my mother's death, provided it were then given pub- licity. Ah, Huldah, if I could spare my- self the shame of telling and you the pain of hearing the rest of my story! "I was a boy-not twenty--vain, fool- ish, and credulous; yet even I could not long be blind to the true character of the woman I had made my wife. She was a vain, worthless creature. When I foundit oat, and reproached her, she laughed at me, and openly gloried in having so cleverly duped me. Had I chosen to apply for a divorce, I had evi- dence that would have obtained it for me; but I shrunk from making my wretched story known. When I could bear: it no longer I left her, reproaching her for having ruined my life. She looked steadily at me. "Her threats did not alarm me. I placed a few thousand pounds to her credit, and left her. more heartily ashamed of myself than any words of mine can tell. I know that I could have obtained a divorce, tor after our separa- tion her life was anything but what it should have been. However, as the years passed on, I shrunk more and more from seeking legal relief. " 'I dislike and despise you so muoh,' she said, 'that I will not proclaim the story of our marriage even to revenge myself on you; but I will have my re- venge for all that. I swear to take the bitterest revenge on you that ever wo- man took on man yet!’ -- "What followed you know. Some time afterward she wrote to me to say that the money I had given her was gone, and that unless she had more she would pub- lish the whole story. Rather than that, for your sake, Huldah, I would have beggared myself. My lawyers wrote to her town» te may: and thgmom "I was so easiily duped-it maddens me even now to remember it. I was a boy, liking tlattery, and enjoying, the sensation my conquest had produced; she was a keen, shrewd, worldly woman, who had set her mind on marrying a hobleman. She showed me a diamond necklace that the Due de Villemessant had sent her. I bade her return it with an indignant letter. She obeyed me. My vanity was flattered to think that I could command this fair woman for whose smiles others sighed in vain. “Five years since I read in a. French journal that was sent to me an an- nouncement of her death. I never doubted the truth of the advertisement .--mueh less did I dream that It was the beginning of her long-delayed revenge. Then-oh, Hulduh! how I dread to speak of it!--Elysium seemed to open to me, for I had met you and loved you. You know how I desired to tell you the story 9‘ 1yfolly, but you would not listen to "Time passed on. The woman that I had made my Wife waited with fell, cruel patience until she read the announce" ment of .our forthcoming marriage, and then she came over to England. She might have warned you at once; but no, her revenge was to be complete-she would say nothing until the morning of our wedding-day. She had laid all her plans. "A boy, caught in the toils of a beau- tiful and accomplished actress, what chance had 1? She fooled me to the top of my bent. She was years older than I was, but she consulted me about every- thing. On one pretense or another she kept me constantly by her side. My com- rades said I was fortunate in winning a liking for which half the men in Paris were strivng. it. I should never have dared, never have presumed to address one word to you, Huldah. had I not felt certain of her death. "It is a story I am ashamed to tell," began Lord Wynton, "yet I did nothing that was dishonorable. I went to Paris when I was very young-not more than nineteen. I was entirely my own master, and I was one of a circle of young men, none of them, I may say, saints. We were really not wicked, but we were 'fast' and foolish, priding ourselves on doing extravagant things, We frequented the theaters and gambliust saloons. One unlucky day I was introduced to a young actress who was that evening to make her debut on the stage-Isabelle Dubois. You have seen her. She was pretty in those days, with a bright, sparkling charm of manner which seemed to me then the most captivating thing that I had ever seen. Her father, I may men- tion, was for many years a political refugee, and doubtless it was owing to his enforced residence in England, dur- ,ng her childhood, that she obtained a fair knowledge of English. She made her iebut. I was admitted behind the scenes. It was a great success. The Parisan World went mad about her beauty, her grace, her wit,her daring originality, her lascination. Half the men in Paris were " her feet; but she-as I learned after-' msrd--had made up her mind from the first to marry me, so that she played her part with the utmost prudence and dis- cretion. "Listen, Huldnh,†I urged; you are bound to listen." "I will," she said. "Tell story, Lord Wynton. t "No I thought that poor, false woman was dead.

A brief examination of those precious bundles of paper shows that even the scrupulous Dickens was not always wont to hark back or to recast his thoughts. Look at the bold, free hand of â€Oliver Twist," evidently going at express rate, and compare it with the painfully minute characters of "Edwin Drood." It is open at the last page the great man ever wrote, a blue slip al- most square, in blue ink, resembling an inky fishing net (to use a graphic ex.. pression which he applied to some man- uscript of a contributor after he had done with it) rather than a page of a novel for which all the world was wait- ing.

Barefooted, he will climb all over the dangerous palis that fall away abruptly and end thousands of feet below in the sea. The festive goat itself is not more active, and when hunting for this kind of game he is an invaluable man to chase the animals round to a point of vantage. Johnny is a remarkably good swim.. mer and, it is said, was at one time very much addicted to the habit of stealing ducks from various people. His method was very simple. He would hide in the bulrushes along the edges of tho duck ponds and would from time to time dive out where the ducks happened to be, snatch one or two from the surface, push them into a bag and swim back again to the rushes, there to take breath for an- other sally.

The English Walnut. Possibly few trees in the old world are more profitable than the English walnut, which thrives in England and all over the northern part of the conti- nent of Europe. The wood is especially useful for gun stocks and for many arti- cles of furniture and is found profitable from trees of 10 years of age and up- ward. There is always good demand for the nuts, so that there are two distinct lines of profit-by the timber and by the fruit. In our country they thrive in any portion of the eastern states, al- though as they progress northwardly the tips of the last year's shoots are de. stroyed by winter. The living portions push out. again, however, and generally bear as abundantly as before. "That's the kind of tall; you always hear. But nine times out of ten it is all owing to the opportunity that presented itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait to kidnap some men. Look at Sir Isaac Newton.

Nothing, however, seemed to check the hilarity of the hon- orable members present, or rather that section of them seated behind the gentle- man who was on his feet. The members opposite were solemn enough, and in- deed looked puzzled at the unusual spectacle of the orntor’s own party laughing at him. The postal reformer valiantly went on with his speech, de- spite continual low laughter and nudging among the members. Evidently some- thing very funny must have occurred to occasion so prolonged an outburst. But it was not till he sat down that the speaker learned what it was.0t was then discovered that during the time he had been advocating postal reform four penny stamps had attached themselves to his absolutely bald head. Just belore enter- ing the House the speaker had placed the stamps in the lining of his hat. Somehow they had slipped down and attached themselves to his shiny plate. This ludicrous incident had the effect of completely stultitying the really able speech which the member had delivered. Under the former category comes l very funny incident that happened SODA four or tive years ago.
