Mrs. Darcontt looked al her .brother In 601110 surprise, lie had spoken in sharp tones ami his brows were contracted Fol lowing the direction of his gain sho saw a slender fignro In russet crossing the lawn, winding a gauze scarf around her head as she went. Whv, that Is Madam Corell," she answered. "Editba's companion arounc widow who caino with us from the city." '"A widowl but sho is not in mourning." 'Oil, her husband died years ago. She was married when a mere child. Did you see Her faco? She is a singular looking woman." "ics, it was that winch roused my curiosity. I have seen it be.'ore. I am cer tain, yet where I cannot say," said Hugh Varneck. "I caught but a glimpse. Mien ngeiV et a better view I may recall It. It Is familiar." Ills dark tace still wore that look of brooding perplexity; he was conscious of a ttrange sense of aversion a disagreeable fueling roused by that fleeting glimpse of a dark, perfect profile U'here bad he seen It before? What circumstances connected with it influenced his thoughts? "I may decide later," he thought, and so dismissed the subject. nugh Varneck had that day arrived at T- . TTI1I -f. - , . umwjuijr ruin, uuur a long sojourn ill foreign lands. Just before his departure from his native country his sister' had wed- I iled a man several sears her senior, and now the latter's daughter was betrothed to Ralston, ITuclrs younger brother. Edltha Darcourt was a fair young crea. tura of delicate ethereal beauty; and oMate her health had occasioned her relatives and friends much anxiety: she suffered from no apparent disease, yet day by day seemed to droop and fade llko a beautiful flower that Is 'blighted 1' tho bud. Hugh remembered her as a lovclv child, frail In appearance perhaps, yet. full of animation and vitality; bo Baw now a languid, spirit less girl, w Ith wan cheek; and lustreless eyes. Was Ralston to Tie cheated of his fair bride?' Tn tho evening they were gathered In the parlor, Mr. and Mrs. Darcourt, ITugh, Ralston and Juailamo Corell "MIssEdltha Is indisposed to-nlcht," said thi latter with her pretty, soft accent. "Sho walked In the garden to-day and tho exerclso wearied her." Hugh looked sharply at the graceful figure in black lace. It was so lithe and undulating In motion that he was reminded of a serpent; the dark face with the full red lips and low brow was full of suppressed feeling, lite narrow, hazed eyes gleamed with smouldering fires; the bronze hair colled high upon the small head shone In tho yellow light. Ralston sang a ballad and tbo widow was loud in her praises; when he began second song, Hugh watched the woman's face. Her full lips were compressed and her eyes lingered upon the blonde head of the singer with an Intense gaze. Suddenly sho lifted ber head and looked at Hugh ere he had time to avert bis glance of scrutiny; their ejes met and while the color rose to the smooth, olive cheeks, the dellcato nos trlli dilated, and tiny flames shot from be neath tho lowering lashes. ' From that mo ment Jarle Corell was Hngh Varneck's enemv. "What do jou think of Edltba's com panion?" asked Mrs. Darcourt at the close of the evening. "I have reached two conclusions," an swered Hugh.. She Is a dangerous wo manand she Is In love with Ralston." Mrs. Darcourt laughed merrily. "Vou always bad such strange fancies about people," she said. "Why, Marie Corell is as geutloand harmless as a dove, and as for lo!ng Ralston what an absurd Ideal Her heart Is In her husband's grave In Franco fa leffe France, as she says." France Hugh started a train of thought was fired, and the light Illuminated a scene from the dark recesses of bis memory. France Paris a beautiful widow ah Marie Corell, you are identified nowl Ho turned without a word and walked away, The next day Kdltha came down from her room at a late hour. Sho was sitting In '.he garden with ber companion besid her when Hugh saw hcr.IHe advanced and took one nerveless whlto hand "IIow are you feeling to-day, Editba?' he asked. "Not well; I did not sleep much last night," she said, with a languid uprising of her bluo ejes. "This weather Is enervating," said Marie Corell, with a slow smile. "I was restless myself, but then while this frail child Is 1 my charge I never lose myself the rcspon elblllty Is always with me." "You are over anxious," said Editba. "I do not need such constant care and de votlon, but you are so good, so tender," She leaned back against the shoulder ot ber companion and laid her fingers ou or. slim, olive hand with a caressing gesture, Marie Corell touched ber red lips to the pale, golden hair. "Mackerel" she said fondly, "If care and devotion would but bring back your health. But It stall tome day." Hugh turned aside with an Imperceptible hiual $1.28 when" not paid in Advance. 1889. shudder. Had he followtd out bis leading Impulse ho would have snatched Edltha from that woman's side and smote tho Hps that uttered such sweet flattery. A step sounded on the gravel walk atid Ralston approached. Edltba's eyes bilghtencd, but tbo other woman looked demurely down. Still Utigh noticed that covert glances shot from the hazol eyes and the widow's tones took on soft-accent when sha spoke to Ralston. Edltha arose at last and drew her scarf closer. I am llrud," she said. "No, do not come with mo; It Is plcas.tnlcr here than In tho house and 1 am going to my room. She moved slowly away ard Marie Corell turned to Ralstnn with a pathetic shako of ber head. "She is a delicate flower," slje said, sadly. You think she U worse," asked Rattlon, quickly. "Ahl I cannot say It battles me," she answered. "Is It ndtstratige Edltha, with all her golden prospects, loving and beloved, victim to somo subtle malady I, alone and friendless, Indifferent to life Itself, so strong and hardy? Fate Is perverse!" She looked down with a sUh and loosely clasped her little bauds. "You aro melancholy," said Ralston, vmpatbetlcally. "You cannot tell what tha future may hold for you." All, I have hopo for nothing!" she said, 1th a shade of sadness on her brilliant face. "Rut this is depressing, my friend, and does not interest you." "You mistake; I am Interested In you." said Ralston In low tones. Hugh started, as If unaware of his pres ence or rather forgetful, his brother glauced up quickly. lie saw only a retreating figure. That night Edltha slept peacefully; that night Marie Corell arose, and lu her trail ing peignoir of creamy hue, her feet encased In slippers that made no sound on the soft carpet she crept to the stand where a carafe of water stood; ono hand was suspoiided over the liquid and something sifted from the slender fingers. In the curtained recess beyond the young girl still slumbered; but another figure than the widow's moved across the dimly-lit room. As Mario Corell stopped Into her own apartment a hand fell on ber shoulder and the door was softly closed behind her. The cry of fear that roso to ber lips sub sided Into a gasp as she faced Hugh Var neck 1 A burning flush concealed the livid hue of her face. "You have how dare yon?'' she pantod. "Because I know you, Hortense De Wcr," he answered In low, tense tones. I saw you drop the fatal powder Into the water. I was on the balcony where I went to watch you, for I suspected foul play. One victim is not enough vou would kill an innocent girl that you might win her lover. You aro an adept In the use of slow poisons, Madame De Mer!" "How do you know of me?" she gasped, too frightened to attempt a denial. Per haps she realized the nature of the man with whom she must deal, and knew that ho was not to bo cheated. "I was In Paris when you were tried for tbo murder of your husband, I remember Your false face, your treacherous tones. I was a friend of Dr. Langloy, and he knew more of your history than any one else. You were beautiful and a consummate actress; you escaped the clutches of the law by somo strange chance, but vou were guilty. Now you would try the power of your fiendish skill again, but I am In the way, I shall unmask yon." The woman stood looking at him with ellow gleam in her eves. She had lost the game. Editba would Uyo and Ralston would know her as she was that was the bitterest thought of all. I did It because I loved him," she mut. tered. "I would hayo won him, hut now To-morrow you wl'I leave tho place. I will tell them your story when you are gone," said Hugh. "Ah, you will spare me their contumely you are kind," she said with a ghastly smile. "Goodnight " She opened the door and pasted out, but he did not leavo tha corridor that night. Perhaps ho feared that Ihe woman would wreak her vcugeanco on hapless Edltha But all was still within the two apart- ments. In the morning Edltha came down with a palo face. It Is so strange," she said. "Madame Corell Is always about ere I wako, but this morning I have not seen her, and her door Is locked. I called her,but In yaln. Some thing must be the matter." "She ha? fled!" thought Hugh; but he was mistaken. They found her still In ber loose robes tretched npon the floor, a desperate look on the white face, a vial ciutcbed in one rigid hand. "Poisoned!'' whispered Mrs. Darcourt who bad found her there and staitled them with her cries. "This Is terrlblo what could have been her motive?'' Hugh looked dowu at the set featuies from which all brilliancy and beauty bad fled did those palo lips seem to frame an appeal? no turned away with a shudder, and bis countenance softened.

SUrKItSTITIONS OF STATESMEN, Nothing can Induce Senator Yorhees to ride a street car drawn by a whlto horso. Senator Call will bury or burn a pair of socks one or both of which he has put on rong side out. H'hen Senator Harris, of Tennessee, Is In doubt as to a course of action he decides by spitting at a mark, Senator Joe rtlackbnrn not only takes the whlto horse, but also one having a white pot on It or ono white toot.

If Senator Vest, of Jlfissourl, meets a beggar in tho street before ho has spent any money he invariably gives to the men dicant. Senator Edmunds leeards It as unlucky the first person he meets On emerging from his house Is a woman, and will re turn for a fresh start. Representative Allen, of Mississippi, the funny man of the House, Is noyer'wlthout the traditional rabbit's foot which he killed In the dark of the, moon In a graveyard. If the first person Reptesentatlve Breck inridge meets In the morning is a colored man or woman he crosses to the other side of the street. He claims that if he con tinues on the same tide he wilt be hoo- looed all day. FASHIONS FOR MEN, The double breasted vest Is coming Into fashion again. Elderly men aro wearing solid gold bands similar to wedding rings. Men aro wearing more jewelry now than. they have ever done before.
