That's right!" tbe woman who i* ail ing in body and mind tayt quickly, bending forward to catch a glimpse of ber own pic turesqoe charmt in the oheval glass at tbe end ot tbe room. " That's right ! n,cd now go and send Millar to me." You'll see Arthur tint?" No, I won't ; when Millar hat held up my new dreaaet for m* to look at I shall be in a better mood for Killeen ; but you'l stay and be nice and kind to him till I'm ready, won't yon ?

Borne women would be mean enough to aak yon to stay and then wicked enough to make ont tbat you had itayed for the take of the man to whom yon had once been engaged ; don't you understand? " I don't think I do, quite." Darragh aayi. Then aha freee hiraelf from Lady Killeen s areesing arm. and goes in search of Millar ' It's like mtosut to want to drag me up when I'm having the fint refreshing sleep I've bad for hours," that functionary grum blet when Darragb arouse* her. A* for on, M n* Tbynne, I pity you for having bean with ber through all ber tantrum*. tor I know what .b* to when she . coming out of them fit* ; th* hain't a good word aay to any on*.' Bb* bat said several good words of yon, at any rate,'' Darragb aaya, quietly, " and as she wacte you viry much, I hope you'll ;et up and go to her." " I pity my lord." Millar snap*. Oh ! I bop* hi will aeon be bitter and stronger, Darragb say*, heartily, purposely mituodentanding tbe pause wbicn had elicited ibi* pity. Call him wbtn you're dressed. Millar, it will b* such a relief to him, poor fellow, to know hit wife u liter. Are you going, mist?" " Yes, but I shall oomi back. Darragb says. Then tbe goes away, and peering out f a window Millar tee* a waiter putting lisa Thynn* into a oab. " I'm so used to my lady, it's bard for mt to judge whether any other woman to more angel or devil," be sayi, meditatively.

" While Darragh wa* her* abe ie to kind, so p*rf*ct I idn't want yon." Tb* soft clasp of her band and tbe beam- ng affection in her will-trained eye* a* he say* this do away with the uuflatter- ng suggestion her words might otherwise sonvey. At least they do away with it in Lord Luleeu ettimation, but not in Millar'*. According to her view of the cat*, Millar aa borne the brunt of the litoation, and Men the one to make it practically pleasant a Lady Killeen this morning. What Mia* .'hynue may have done in tbe way of nurs- _ in tb* night to nothing to Millar.

You can ga ont of tbe room now, at onoe," Ltdy Killeeu aayt, chillingly ; and Millar drops a dresi, in which broch. velvet, cream -colored silk, ana Mechlin lace meet in well harmonized contusion, on the floor, at ahe abruptly retreat* from th* room. " I hear 1 wa* atejul last night wbtn the attack came on '.' ' Lady Killeen say*, pathetically. Bb* ba* mad* up hsr mind to forget all that abe remembers having beard about or said of Mrs. St. John. " No, no, not awful I" Lord Killeen aayi mendaciously. He knows now chat he ha* made a bad bargain, but there it no need to give bto knowledge to the world. Then be goea on, " You are much better now, yon know, dear ; yon 'II have to keep quiet and give up political excitement. She laughs softly. It would almost please ber better if be said Yon ar* a tigress ; yon will alwayi be ready to tear the** wno oome athwart you. Bee t I out your clawa." But he doe* not say this. On the con- trary, he give* vent to ingratiating remarks, and tuff era ber to see that sbe will not be called to account (or ber rabid dtoplay o( yesterday. This give* bee the victor'* (eeling, and then are some women who cannot gain a victory without growing dangerous. "The dootor aayi my whole nervoni sys- tem ha* been ovanlrained, and Darragb back* him up and say* I have need of the moet perfect rest and quiet. I suppose they ar* right," in* aayi, with an air of tudden prostration. Than with a well- eonoeived portrayal ot enriotiiy ahe adie- " What wa* it biade m* ill yesterday?" Nothing that I know of," he sayt, care lessly, for he i* resolved to k**p Mrs. 8t John ont of tbe oontroveny it possible Bnt Lady Killeen to more tban a match (01 him. "Surely I remember. Yea: I do," the say*, putting ber hand up to her forehead " I was hurl my feelings were tried b hearing that one whom I bad believed in a* a friend had been cruelly aspersing m to you." " Sbe did nothing of tbe kind, because wouldn't let ber," Lord Killeen *ays, vehe mently, for be doe* not desire a aeoonc edition of yesterday. Then hi* wife, whi to perfectly miitreat of herself now, anc aware that in a masterly inactivity sb will find th* most perfect safety, beaus upon him rewardingly, and asks him to promise bar that he will never go near tha " restless, ambitious Mrt. St. John igsin.' " Your hands iu mini, your head on my shoulder," Darragb says. " I have no desire to embrace a serpen it may crush me to death in its affeote* affection," Lady Killeen lays, struggling a* well a* bar weakness will permit, to push Darragh away from her. You're dreaming still; it U I Dar ragb," Mitt Tbynne aaya, soothingly. She will not even allow herself to be astonished fst lea* annoyed, at the extraordinary tone bioh thit woman, whom sbe hat been tending with the tenderness of a utter and the skill of a physician for ever*, hour*, to adopting toward btr. I know it to yon, Darragh," Lady Kil leen answers. Then to something sneerin| as well as tierce in ber tone, and Darragh involuntarily shrinks away from it. Don't pretend to shrink from me u U I were a mad WOE ," Lady Killeen one* I krone that ii what yon will tell people now, a* yon timed your entrance ao cleverly just as I was gelling ill; it wa* planned between you and your ooustn your old lover to giv* him a handle against me.

"I know what i was doing before I fainted,' at you call it," Lady Killeen tay i, with a smile and a cunning glare in ier eyea tbat would almost warrant the tntpioion tbat madnesi and berstlf are allied. CHAPTER XXXIII. Lal>T tnjJUK UMEHBESB aKD rO*JOIT*. " Well, we won't *p*ak of it now." Dar- ragb replies with invincible good humor. I am your nun* please to remember tbat, and as I want to get my patient np and oat at aoon aa possible, I muit get ber tc eat something." ' Eat! I shall never eat anything again." L,ady Killeen aayi rather wearily, falling back upon tbt pillow. How cruel people are ! How cruel Nature it !" ahe goea on, and teare welling into ber eyea a* sbe apeak* seems to attest the .ruth ot her assertion. " These awful Unease* of min* I" tb* addt, pttooosly. ' Mo on* know* what I suffer before they oome on, and when I'm recovering. I am sore and bruised in body and broken in mind, and every oni it looking out for lawt in my conduct to punish ire for being punished by Nature already." 1 Let Arthur oome to you now t" Dar- ragh plead*, taking advantage of the lapse nto the softer mood. But Lady Killeen nrnt stubborn instantly. "By 'Arthur' yon mean Lord Killeen. [ auppoee H* ha* never been Arthur to me, you mutt remember." " I mean your hosbaud ef course," Dar- ragh aayi. The girl'* patienoe is being soiely triad by thi* fraotiouanesa but the maintaini the appearance of it etill, for vuo will stand by thi* woman with the wnt in her mind if the (Darragb) rifutee to do so? There is tilenoe for a few minute*. Then -idy Killeen put* a band out, and gropes ~cr something on the little table by the tide f the bed. " M., powder-box and puff, wben ar they .'" ibi ask* peevishly , " it is my strict irder thst they ar* put here every night. Where are tbey ? Where i* Millar, my maid?" Millar went to bed, and U probably asleep now . let me help you" " No, no yon won't know where to find be lace for my bead, and if yon find it you won't know how to pin it on," Lady Killeen say* eagerly, half ruing in the excitement if these toilet qoeitiont from her recnin- nl position among the downy pillow.. beaidee, can you put on powder properly ? don't believe it!" " Yon can tell me and I'll try," Darragh ays, laughing. She doea not feel called upon to lecture this poor, weak, suffering woman for frivolity, for Darragh ha* a leart to feel for those thing* below the tar- see which ber clear eyee discern. Thii aoquietenoe iu ber tobenie of mak- ng herself up for the coming ieterview with her hutbind bat a most softening nfluenoe on Lady Killeen. Bhe lies back ontentedly while Darragh bathei the waulifnl pain-lined face, and brusnet out be Hilky length* of soft golden brown hair. lut wben it come* to improving ber com- ilexion, and adjusting th* lace whiob i* to soften it, Lady Killeen grow* restive. ' Ooe grain too much, and it would make me look like a painted Je/ebel," ihe says, aking the powder-box an egg-shell in silver from Darragb'i hands. Then the feebly pplie* it with fingers that tremble, and no ail to do their work perfectly according to ier art m tic eyes and tense of the fit appli- ation of powder. " Bab I" *bi exolaimi in disgust, a* ibi icws the effect of ber work in a band-glass ; it't this glaring morning light that ruint me No woman ought to show beraelf till wtlve o'clock in the day, unlesi shi ii a milkmaid." "Or at least, not until something pproacbing to success in the literay carper f wbioh the to so proud hat taken the enoin ont of her," she adds, and (or the take o( *weet peace be promtoet. And in return (or tbto 111 b* very riendly with your ooaiin Darragh. I'll ake her np," Lady Killeen says, gener- utly. And a* she aayi this Killeen real- ize* " bow very funny all thi* would be U her ladyship were tome other fellow's wile, and Darragb some other man't oonain." Yet in spite of this conviction b* passe* a vary pleasant hour by tbi side ot bis wife's sofa. For she is on her metal t* amuse him, and not only to amuse him puxably well in the present, but to make him forget whatever ban been unpleasant in the immediate past. And being on ber metal with her war-paint on, ahi succeed* admirably well. Moreover, whenever she tee* that he grow* weary of these topio*, the revert* to Darragb, and praiset her, and Lord Kil leen, though he i* not in love with Dar- ragb now, be la* been in love with her. and is proud ot her a* one of tbe (meat branches of tbe family tree. On ber praise* be i* right glad to linger. There U tafety in the topic, be thiaks, and already Lord Killeen it beginning to think it wall to look put for safe topics wben discoursing with his wife. But presently Millar, ttili aggrieved, and consequently very querulous, comes in attar knocking at tbe door in a way that ii at onoe a warning and a shock. Beg pardon, my lady ! ' the say*, with ghastly oiiunotneen, " but you're quite out of tbat nuxber two ' yellow powder, and every other kind blotches your akin. Shall order some more of -number two 1 at onoe ?" No, thank yon," Lady Killeen sty*. with (till more ghastly tnavity -. " my new maid shall order in whatever I may waat wben you are goae. and you will pleas* to take a month'* wage* and go before twelve o'clock to-morrow." For a moment or two the woman it tttg- gered at Iku being tbe result of ber imper- tinence.

He asserts that where there is uo apparent magnetum. r tbe maguriisui i* neutral, there is not, a* bad been >uppo*ed, an indifferent turning of the molecules in all directions, with consequent balancing ot influence ; bat, on he contrary, there is a perfect symmetries! arrangement, the molecule!

Whan magnetism beoomei evident, he molecule* (or their polarities) lave all rotated symmetrically in a gives direction, but thc"*ymmetry of arrange- ment to enob that tb* circlet o( attraction are iot completed exoept through an external armature joining both poles. Again, be hows tbat we have permanent magnetism whin the molecular rigidity retain* tbe molecule* or their polarities :n s given direction, and transient majrnetitm when- ever tbe molecule* are comparatively (ree. Prof. Hughes also abows that the inherent polarity or magnetism of each molecule to like gravity, a constant quantity, wbiob eaa neither be generated nor augmented, nor diminished nor destroyed. Neither can magnetum be changed to any other form of force or property ol matter. It mnit be, therefore, dissociated from electricity, M certainly at gravitation mutt b dissociate* from hiat and light. Electricity may be generated by magnetitm, ju*t at light and beat (a* in the oaae of tbe tan) may b* generated by gravitation ; but electricity to not a form of magn*tin, any mor* than heai or light to s form of gravity.
