lovely fat1' .
'' es, dear," ulie. said in a low tone,
"if thero U aiiythinij I need lo know,
tell it Xo mo nt once, pray.''
The man stirred uneasily in hU chair,
and looked at her ftoalthily from under
Im black eyelashes.
He was a singnlarly handsome, man,
but with a dangerous droop about the
corner of hi finely molded lip, that
would have warned any reader of
character Against trusting him too
far.
"I shan't be likely to como back," he
said in a sulky tone.
Ginovra looked at him, her face
whitening.
"You wid send for me lo come to
you. Very well."
"Not a bit of it," Dann Eckhutt said
in a hard voice. "You'll have to go
back lo vmr aunt."
"Never I"
''As you please ; only I wash my
hands of you. I want yon to under
stand that you and I have both got
too much temper to get on well togeth
er." "It is a pity you had not discovered
as much before you married tne."
"Well, I know it now I and as for
tho marrying, yououghtto be as thank
ful as I am that it was just a farce."
"What t"
"Only a game, my dear. You and I
have only been playing married."
Ho threw up his handsome, head in
solently, but involuntarily shoved his
chair back a step as he encountered
Ginevra's blazing eyes.
Sho stood an instant, trembling with
passion, then she camo nearer to him,
and dropping upon a low neat, wound
a white arm around his neck.
"Don't plague me with such honid
talk. love," sho said sweetly, "and I'll
try not lo lose my temper so easily."
Dane Eckhirt cast her arm off his
neck impatiently, aud roso with a mut
tered imprecation.
"It is no talk, as you'll find," ho said
savagely. "Whilo yon wore Margaret
Moxlcy's heiress such talk was well
enough ; but you ought to have known
1 couIuq t allord to marry a poor wo
mau.'' "And you aro not married to mo t
What, then, was that beremony be
tween usT"
"The merest farce. That man wasn't
a miui6ter more than I am. There,
donjt, make a f uss. It was all becauso
of your aunt Margaret's money, aud
tiurier tho circumstances, really you
ought to bo thankful to bo rid of me,
asl.am "
"To be rid of me," Ginevra said in a
hard,, cold voice. "Very well, you aro
rid of mo. Go!"
Dane Eckhatt laughed nervously.
"I think I will go nntil you aro in
better humor, at least ;" and ho saunt
ered gracefully out and down the gar
den walk.
Tho passionate young creature ho
had left sat staring after him with a
look of piteous misery ou her blanched
face.
Sho sat where sho could seo tho man
sho had till this moment a upposed to
bo her husbaud ; the man whoso dan
gerous beauty and luring words had
brought her to this won her from a
luxurious home, of which sho was the
idol aud prospective mistress ; the man
for whom the aunt who had been a
second mother to her had cast her out,
disinherited her and now he cast her
off.
She could see him, smoking as ho
walked and lazily smelling tho (lowers,
and her hands clenched and unclenched
themselves almost viciously.
In her absorption sho did not seo till
he was at the door a mau who came
swiftly up the walk unnoticed, too,
bv Dane, whoso, faco was tho other
way. The man scarcely stopped to
knock, and Ginevra ran to him with
both hands outstretched.
"Oh, Robert, Robert 1" she cried.
"I've como as I promised vou, miss.
Mistress Margaret lies a dying, and
she's asked lor you over and over
again.
An inuihcribabui chango passed over
Ginevra's face, and she glanced swift
ly in tho direction ot the shrubbery,
whiro a lamt uiuo emoko was curling
paBt the leaves.
'I will go with you instantly in
stantly, Robert," sho said, her eyes
gleaming. "I seo you have a carriage!
go back to it; 1 will join )ou. Take
this path, Robert; I should like to get
off without being seen."
Robert did as he was bidden, and
Ginevra, stopping barely long enough
to ilon cloak and hat, ran after him.
Dane Eckhart tossed away tho stump
of his cigar and lighted a fresh one.
"Deuced hard thing,'' he muttered.
I'm glad it's over. Now if Dame Mar
garet should leavo her tho money after
all, she'd rather have the upper hand of
me. wouldn't shet"
He sauntered back to tho house
again. Thero was no ouo in the little
sitting-room where ho had left Gine
vra and ho noticed at onco that her
cloak and hat were gone.
"What now!" ho grumbled aloud.
"Where can sho have gonn to!"
"Please, sir, I can toll you all about
It,'' said a sharp little voice at his el
bow, and Ginevra's small inaid of-all-work
popped out from behind tho win
dow curtains, where sho had been
curled ihjs long time,
"I hoard 'tin, I seen 'em," she nod
ded briskly : "Tho man's r.amo was
Robert, and ho said Miss Margaret
was a-dyiu', and she went off with
him."
"In acarriagef demanded Dano in
breathless amazement.
Tho child nodded.
"Did he say her aunt had sent for
liei!''
Another nod.
"Gad, I must overtake them 1 What
a fool I've ben 1 The old woman is
going to forgive her after all, aud (lien
I'll get the cold shoulder;" and Dano
hckhart uutricu away towatd tho town
. lor a liorse.
It was something of a walk, how
uvcr, mid two hours had gone before
ho had started.
At Moxley tho dying woman tossed
on her thorny coach and moaned con
stantly one inquiry :
"Has shecomot'Uobert said he knew
where to find her. Robert bus gone
for her. .tune! Jane, I sayl"
An elderly-looking woman camo for
ward to the bedside.
"Go do vn, Jiiue, and seo if sho has
not como."
"They hnvo orders, inadaine, lo let
you know tho instant she arrive?," the
woman stid.
"Yes, but they may linger. Moments
i. re ages to me now, Go, go!
"Hut tho doctor's orders you were
not to be left alone for an instant."
"The doctor is an idiot 1 Do ou
serve mo or him V demanded Marga
ret Moxley, in shaip, querulous tones.
"You, certainly. I only thought
"Stop thinking, then, and do as I bid
yon.'-
Reluctantly tho woman departed. It
was not tho first timo sho had been on
this fruitless errand, and each time she
had been in terrible fright lest her mis
tress should fall into one of her dread
ful spasms, and so be dead when she
got back.
She was not absent from the room
morothan ten minutes in all. She found
Robert and Miss Ginevra just arrived,
and she only stopped for n half a doz
en words with tho latter, before she
dragged her up the stairs to her aunt's
room.
Ginevra sprang ahead and entered
tho apartment liist, but shrank batik
upon lier own steps, as though she had
encountered Satan himself" in there,
shuddi'iing with horror, and uttering
scream after scream, that resounded to
the farthest corner of tho house.
Thinking that what sho had feared
had happened in her absence, tho nurse
pressed past her into tho room. But
iiow much more awful tho sight that
met her than any she had over dream
ed of.
Margaret Moxley lay half way out
of bed, as though dragged thero in
sonio awful struggle, her eyes already
fixed and staring, her throat cleft with
a gash. through which tho life-blond
flowed in a pure purple tide.
Tho poor old woman had been mur
dered by somebody who could not wait
for her death oven the little lime he
would have to.
The nurse's screams, added to Gine
vra's, brought every one in tho house
about them
Somebody went tearing away for tho
doctor, as though he could be of somo
use, and tho rest stood about iu horri
fied groups, or, tho more stout-hearted
of them, ransacked iho house in seaich
of some traces of the murdumr.
Thero was an inquest tho next morn
ing, and when Ginevra was brought
into tho room to give her testimony,
quivering iu every limb and wliito
with horror, the first faco upon which
her eyes fell in tho apartment was that
of Dane Eckhart.
He bad bteu hiding in the shrub
bery, watching for a chance to see Gi
nevra, and those who knew of the en
mity between him and the dead wom
an, had fallen upon him as her mur
derer. He had resisted at first, and
then, seeing that it was of no use, had
coma with them. His face was a lit
tle pale, but confident, as ho stepped to
Ginevra's side.
"It was this lady I was watching iu
tho shrubbery to see," he said, trying
to take her hand ; "sho is mv wife."
"A singular place to be looking for
her," said tho coroner mildly ; then Gi
nevra shrank from his extended hand
with a strange, threatening look in her
dark, horrified eyes.
In that brief moment her mind had
gono back in a Hash to tho day before,
and this man's brutal words to her
then. Sho remembered how pitiless he
nad been, and she was savinc to her
self now as sho said then ;
"Heaven help you. Dauo Eckhart, if
mv turn ever comes."
It had como now, and she took it.
In a calm, self-possessed voice, from
which every Irace of nmtation had van
ished, sho told how she had enteied
her aunt's room first, aud of tho ghastly
sight that had met her eyes.
"Was anyone elso in tho room 7 Did
you hear or seo anyone?" demanded thu
coroner.
Ginevra paui-ed, with her eyes bent
upon tho floor, and an ahv tremor
creepjug around her lips.
"I cannot testily, she said in low1,
clear tones ; "tho man who is charged
with her death is my husband. Tho law
does not require tho wife to speak iu
such cases."
Dane Eckhert shrank as though sho
had struck him. He undeistood now,
if ho had not before, what a fool he
had been to dare such a woman as
til's.
"Sho shall givo her testimony,'' ho
declined wildly ; "sho can say nothing
to eliminate mo ; let her it sho can.
Sho is not my wifo ; I deceived her
with a sham marriage."
irinevras lips trembled into a bitter,
nwful smile, as tho man cried out so
rashly, but her falling hair hid her
lace, and none saw anything but tho
grief of a wife who fears to eriminalo
her husband.
D.mo Kckhart caught on tho faces
the conclusions his rash words had giv
en birth to. Ho struck himself with
his clenched hands and was silent.
Tho inquest went on. and 1ir was
committed for tiial nt the coming ses
sion nf cour:, for tho murder of Marga
ret aioxioy.
lie thought it would como to noth
ing. Hu said to himself that nothing
wild como ot it, but iio shuddered in
voluntarily as ho met the dark, bright,
moaacing eyes ot tho woman ho had
wronged.
Margaret Moxley had made her will
in favor of her niece, Ginevra, in thoso
days before sho had ever seen Dano
Eckhart. When Ginevra had eloped
with Dano sho had madu great pre
ttnso of disinheriting her, but she had
never made a now will, and sho sent
for her at last in kindness.
So tho property was all Ginevra's,
and Dano in his prison cell on that aw
ful charge, had amplo opportunity to
meditate on his ovil deeds on the evil
fruit they had borne him.
Had ok ho seemed, Dano Eckhnrl
was not altogether evil. A wanderer
ever, learning young "to live by Ids
wits," and seeing lifo thuu in many of
its worst phases, he had never aspireil
to uo wnat is cancel n good man. 1'er
haps tho nearest, approach to his bet
ter nature had been his lovo for beauti
ful Ginovra Moxley. Ho had loved
her, and it hail been uo sham marriage
between them as ho pretended.
lln saw plainly that Ginevra would
never consent to leavo him, and that
they wcio miseily poor, ana with tho
prospect of worse before them.
Ho thought that onco set free lrom
him her aunt would take her back, and
knowing that sho would never go, ex
cept iu sumo harsh alternative as this,
ho had lied to her thus.
Ho lay in his prison cell and thought
of nil this, and of his too probable com
ing fale. Rut ho know better than to
attempt to make Ginovra believe him
certainly then.
"When f Bland faco to face with
death I will tell her," ho said to him
self. "She will believe mo then."
Tho cao went up for trial. It is not
so difficult to string together evidence
enough to hang a man, when there is
so liltlo to ho said on tho other side as
in this case, and the very circumstan
ces left liltlo to bo said. Resides, Dane
Kckhart already bore ft bad reputation,
and a bad name is as much an injury
to a man as a good ono is an advan
tape.
Wo cannot follow tho details of that
trial here. Ginevra nover went near
it. Shut up in her chamber at Moxley,
she waited with her beautiful face
growing more like marblo every hour.
When that verdict, of guilty was
brought her, she ordered her carringe,
and lor tho first time went to Dano's
prison.
Dane smiled as she camo iu. It was
the old witching suiilo that had won
her. and tho face, pale though it was
with confinement, was tho old, hand
some, fond face, unobscured by the
sneering, half-brutal cloud that had
been hovering between her and it of
late.
"I am glad you have come. I was
about to send and ask you lo come,"
Dane i-aid, and his voice was low, and
sweel, and rich with tender feeling, as
in thu old days when they had boen
more than all the world to each
other.
Something smote this proud woman
suddenly, as a burst of sunshine (lis
solves snow.
Down at I. is feet, on the prison'floor,
sho sank, crying:
"Forgive me, Dane!"
Then Dano Eckhart lifted her up,
and told his story.
"I will save you yet!" Ginevra cried.
"Let mo go!''
Hut D.iuo shook his head, smiling
sadly.
"You may try, my darling, but it
will bo in vain."
"And it was. The strange, impro
bable story she told was received as the
loving artifico of a fond, too faithful
wifo that was all ; and Ginevra went
back to her husband to say, with her
face in his bosom :
"I cannot save you, my beloved, but
I shall din with you ; I will not live
without you."
The awful day approached. There
was no remedy, unless, indeed, tho
real murdeier camo forward at tho
last moment and confessed the deed.
There seemed little enough prospect
of that ; hut one evening as Ginovra
was driving homo from tho prison; n
strange hungry-looking creature came
out of a clump of bushes by the load
side and spoko to her. She" might not
have heeded him, ho looked so desper
ate and foi loin, but she caught from
his lips her husband's name, aud, bid
ding tho driver stop, sho leaned eager
ly from the carriage door to listen.
Iho gaunt, miserable being came
close besido her.
"1 can't stand it any longer," ho said,
"and I'm going to givo myself up. I
was tho heir-in-Iaw, and I thought if
she lived to seo you, sho'd make a will
and turn mo ont. I didn't know slid
had raado hor will already, and I
shouldn't have harmed her if you had
been a day later in coming, sho
would not havo lasted of herself till
then. It was for my wife and babes,
who were starving, and sho wouldn't
help limn. They'll starve now in down
right earnest, if the disgi ace don't kill
thei.'. first.''
"I will care for them," Gineira said
solemnly, and took tho wretch in her
carriage, and drove back to town.
It was as tho man said. There was
ilenty of corroborative evidonco when
it came lo that, and Dano Eckhart was
free a thankful, it is hoped, a better,
mau.
Tho poor follow who had really demo
the deed was, in tho end, sent to a lit
natio asylum instead of to death. Ho
went mad in tho prison, and, somo
thought, was mad all tho time.
Ginovra kept her word. Sho and
Dano took homo the starving wifo and
babes, and shared Margaret Moxlcy's
riches with them, partly from humble
gratitude for their own happiness after
all, partly because both felt that it was
right and just.

Philadelphia Almnhonsr Destroyed
by fire.
A lire broko out in tho lnt-anodenart-
ment of tho county almshouse in West
Phladelnhia about nine o'clock, Thurs
day night of last week. Tho flames
spread rapidly and before tho 300 in
mates could be released a number or
them were burned to death. Tho
others wcro loft to roam from thu
grounds at will and many of them were
picked up by tho police throughout the
city, iho tire originated in tho wing
of the old building of tho insano de
partment of Rlockley which fronts to
wards tho Schuylkill river and directly
east of tho main building of tho alms
house. This wing is 115 fect front
and GO feet deep, crnuected on tho
south with tho main building of the
old structures of the insano department
which runs south 400 feet a smaller
wing to the onu in which tho disaster
occurred. In this north building where
tho fire broko out there were sixty
separate cells for violent patients,
twenty on each lloor. In addition to
this there was a lai-'o room on each of
Iho three floors in which cots for twelve
men were placed, and all of which
were occupied when the fire broko oat.
On tho second lloor opposito tho cen
tral cell of tho row of separate colls on
tho north sido of tho corridor which
runs from cast to west is a dry room
heated by steam. The room, which
was about ten ieet square, was di
rectly nlongsido tho middle stairway
leading to tho floors above and below.
Here tho names originated, but trom
what causo is not now known. At the
time thero were insane patients in each
of tho twenty cells on tho three floors
ten in tho largo room on the first
floor and twelve in each of the larger
rooms on tho second floor. From all
the conflicting accounts to bo obtained
it appears pretty certain that the first
alarm .was given by an insano patient
on the first floor of tho main building.
This man, Joseph Nadine, occupied a
loom which adioined tho stairway and
drying room with about twenty other
quiet patiouts. When about ton min
utes to eight o clock ho saw smoke is
suing from abovo the door which open
ed into the wing in which the colls
were situated, ho ran to tho big iron
grated door fronting on tho mam cor
ridor of tho building and called out
"hre.' I his tearful sound reached tho
ears of Joseph Shroeder, the attendant
of tho ground floor, who was in his
room directly opposite the ono from
which iNauiue had given the alarm.
Mrs. Umpstead who has general chargo
at night says that it was about 8 o'clock
when tho alarm reached her. one was
in her office about 200 feet from tho
dry loom and at once hurried to the
scene. Sho says that an attempt was
mado to put out flames with buckets of
water and at first it was supposed that
tho flames were onlv burning from the
ground floor near the stairway, but ln
almost nn instant it was found that tho
real point from which the danger camo
was on tho second lloor at the top of
and abovo the dry room. She then
hastened to get all tho patients from
tho main building extending back from
tho east wing.
Attendant abrooder takes up tho
thread of tho story at this point and
thus relates somo of tho horrors of tho
dreadful night "I do not know who
sounded tho alarm. As soon as I
heard Nadino's cry I rushed lo tho foot
of the stairway and after a short at
tempt to check the hre at once set to
woiktogetout tho patients. 1'irstl
unlocked tho door of tho room in which
Nadine and his companions wore.
Thoy ran out at once. Ry this time
tho flames wore gathering in a fury
and tho dense, volumes of smoke were
ascending into tho upper stories. I
succeeded in unlocking tho doors of
all the colls on tho first floor and al
though with difficulty somo cases in
getting all the inmates ont. I had no
timo to look after thera further than to
run them out into tho yard for the
flames were getting so fierce that it
was almost impossible to breathe in
the now fioroely burning building. Tho
smoke in tho uppr stories was so thick
that breathing was impossible,

Talkintr. to Millions.

Farm and Garden Notes
Soft hay makes strong wool.
Strong meadows fill big barns.
Plush pastures inako fat stock.
Fat pastures make fat pookets.
Sweet pastures raako sound butter.

The farmer who lets everything go
to wasto about him will generally be
ono who complains that "farming don't
pay."
One of tho hardest of all crops "to
raise," in the financial sense, is n mort
gage, but it is easy to plant. The less
onu plants of mortgage the better.
Tho adage (and it is older than the
Christian era,) no grass, no cattle, no
cattle no manure, no manure no crops,
is as true to day ns when first spoken.
Hay water is a great sweetener of
tin, wooden and iron ware. In Irish
dairies everything used for milk is
scalded with hay water. Roil a hand
ful of sweet hay in water, and put in
tho vessel when hot.
Whenever a farmer gets a labor-saving
implement for himself, lot him
think if somclhieg to save hi) wife
from kitchen labor cannot also bo se
cured. If so, ho might postpone the
day of his widower-hood.
An orchard which is so large that
manure cannot bo had with whioh to
fertilize it is seldom a profitable part of
tho farm. It. pays to raise only bo
many trees as ono can raise well. We
occasionally hear of good farmers cut
ting down a part of their orchard so
that they can put more manure and
more attention on tho remainder.
Tho wild hawthorn which aro every
where common makes excellent hedges
but thoy are attacked by tho apple tree
borer, and are thereloro unsafe to
plant. It is even doubtful if they
should be tolerated as ornamental trees.
They aro so nearly related to tho culti
vated apple that insects which attack
one plant will usually attack the oth

What Made from Paper.
Ono of tho most rcmarbable uses to
which paper has been put of late years
is the manufacure of zylouite. a sub
stance which at tho will of tho manu
facturer may be mado in imitation of
horn, rubber, ivory, tortoise shell, am
ber and cvun glass. Tho uses to which
xylonite are adaptable are almost infi
nite, but perhaps tho mo9textrordinarv
is the manufacture of cathedral win-
lows. The discovery was made about
fifteen years ago, but it was only with
in mo last two year.s mat a company
has been formed for its manufacture.
The basis of zylouite is a plain whito
tissue paper mauo irom cotton or cot
ton and linen rags. Tho paper is treat
ed first to a bath of sulphuric and oth
er acids, undergoing a chemical change.
Tho acid is then carefully washed out
and tho paper treated wilh another
preparation of alceholand camphor, as
tmming an appearanco very much like
parchment. It is then capablo of be-
ng worked up into plates of anv thick
ness, rendered almost perfectly trans
parent, or given any of the brilliant
colors that silk will tako. It is much
more llexiblo than either horn or ivory,
and less brittle. Combs or other nrti.
cles raado of it in imitation of tortoise
