WOULD BE REM EMBEREO.
BT FBB8LET W. MOBBI.
There was no moon on that night-
Ilvrk clouds oversprsad tbe heavens
Occasionally tbo wind swept by with
mournful sound.
Locksley all lifted it walls to
ward the sky amidst a mnltitude of
giant trees. On this night one stand
lag close to it could uareiy discern
the dark sky.
Oat at a sido door slipped a young
girl; She walked away from the
house. In a place where tbo groat
trees were thickest overhead she
paused AH was blackness. She
ebivered, and drew her sbawl abxit
her. It was a September night, and
cool.
"lie should be here,' she murmur
el
"He is here, said a voico. "Dear
Katie 1'
norbertl"
Then a pair of strong arms folded
the girl, and kisses Were rained up
on her face.
"My sweet, my love I
"lleibort, I did not dream yon
wero so near.
"No T Bnt yon should know, my
darling, that I would bo punctual to
the minute, lou are a little late.
"I could not come soouor, Fupi
lopt me reading t him. I was glad
tojget away whou I did,'
-I was uot uubraiJingyou, Halie.
M kuow you were not.'
Then they were sileut for a time,
content to hold each others's hands.
"When shall 1 make nil knowu.
Katie t' asked the roan presently.
"Ob, I don t know. 1 droud to

tweeu him and your papa has raged
fur so long and Leon so high.'
"I can manage my f-ithor.'
"I fear it will be different with me.
t sometimes feel as if papa will nev
er give us his blessing.'
And so tbe conversation ran. Hut
lovers' interviews canuot last forever
and a length the two separated.
The young man's name was Her
bert Fontain. Ilia father ownod an
estate adjoining that of the
of Loi-ksfey Place.

After patting from Katie, Herbert
slowly pursued Ins way along a dark
path. Hearing a rapid stop behind
Litn, he tamed into another path.
"Fenwick !' called a voice.
Herbert did not answer. He knew
the voice well. It was Artbar Lock
ley's tbo father of Katie, ,
"Fenewick 1' was called again.
Still the young man was silent
He knew that it wonld provoke Mr.
Locksley's anger to know that be, a
footain, was a trespasser on bis es
tate at that boar of tbe night.
Mr. Looksley said no more, bnt
kept on his way in another path
Herbert also continued on. Some
words were continually running
through bis brain. They were,
"Kittie. mv love I Eittie my love V
Directly, however, be paused. He
Was bewildered. He did not know
where be was. For a moment he
hesitated.
"Pashaw ! this is ridionlons, that
I should lose my way at the door bf

Then be went on. He bad pro

there was nothing for it bat to write

.Herbert saw a building faintly
outlined a short distance before bira,
and discovered where be was. This
etraotare was an old bouse on tbe
looksley estate, uninhabited save by
oaw and owls.
"And I suppose, Mr. Fenwick
Looksley, returned tbe voice of Ka

Then followed a raiment silence.

Last night I' be mattered i noth

seeking to assert herself, but the ef

"We can institute a search, at

said tbe poor child.
"I will go now, he said.
On tbe way tbey said but few
words. Arriving there, tbo young
man dispatched a servaut to town
for officers. With tbe assistance of
tbe officers and servants search waa
made. In vain. Night approach
ed, and still no trace ooold be found
of Arthur Locksley.
"I will go borne for a brief space,

He was alone.with Katie when he

"Ob, 7erbert it seems ' like a

'Dear, father, where nave you

"No I'
"Ay."
Mr. Fontain was deeply shocked
"His search been made f
"Yes.'
"Can no trace be found V
"None. It is a very mysterious
affair.'
Tbe front entrance was reached.
At that moment some horsemen
rode up to tbe avenue gate. Tbey
dismounted and hurried up to the
bouse. Herbert and bis father paus
ed, waiting for them. Tbey soon
reached tbe bouse.
"Mr. Fontain,' said one, then hesi
tated. "Mr. Hilton,' said erbert s fath.
or.
Mr. Hilton was the Sheriff of the
oonnty.
"Mr. Fontain,' be continued, while
his voice trembled, 'I have a painful
duty to perform, oformation has
been lodgod against yoa, and I am
compelled to arrest yoa apon the
charge of murdering Arthur Locks
ley. Permit me, while discharging
my duty, to express my utter dis
belief in tbe charge."
Mr. Fontain paled. did not
utter a word at first, aoeming too
inuob astonished to do so. Herbert
advanced as though be would strike
tbe officer. Then his father
found his tongue.
"My son,' be said, gontly. 'Mr.
Hilton in blameless in this matter.
Wait till you find theaoensor.'
IIo turned suddenly to tbe Sher
iff "Who is my aoensor T'
"Mr. Fenwick Locksley.'
At the meution of that name Her
bert's bands nniu sought bis tem

Tbe party iuclnding Mr. Fontain
and bis son, reached tbo country
town an honr afterward. Herbert
bad first seen Katie to tell her where
be was going and what for.
"Ob, this dreadful charge is not
true.' wept Katie i "Herbert your
father is innocent i I know be is.
During that ride Mr. Fontain had
scarcely spokeo, ouly to say
"Confront mo with my socager ;
o mfrout me with my acoueer as soon
as possible.'
In a tuagirttrate'a office that was
done. Fenwick Looktley woe very
pale, but bis lipi were set firmly. It
was a desporate game he was playing
but one be considered necessary to
bis safety
"So yoa say that I killed Arthur

ily. "Yes,' ssid Fenwick, boldly.
"Have yoa any other gronods t ban

"I have. I saw yon do the deed.
I rushed npon yon. 1 know all save
what disposition yoa made of the
body.
Mr. Fontain's eyes flashed Ore.
"Fenewick Locksley, yoa lie 1' he
cried, indignantly.
At tbe beginning of this interview
Herbert Fontain's hands flew up to
his temples. His features worked
painfully. As Fenwick Locksley ut
tered bis last words, he sprung be
fore bim and looked npon bim with
flashing eyes for a moment.
'Mtlostl remember I be cried.

With a mcttered curse Fenwick

trying to serupn a picture of ISenj-i-miu

I heard Mrs. 15. screaming ;

I was desperalo.
I snatched tbo first thing I could
lay my bands on, which happoned to
be a base-ball bat belonging to Lot
and I made one murderous Bwor-p.
But instead of killing tbo mousn.
I npset tbe chair on which my wife'

that she turned a graceful sommor-

She screamed for help, and declar

made a grab for it. It proved to be
a warm buokelberry pie, but I didu't

I thought I saw tbo monse run

pie at it.
But at that moment my danghter
opened tbe door, and walked into the
dining-room, and tbe pie struck her
square in the face and smasned.
She began to shriek, and sputter,
and jump np and down, and declare
that she was bleeding to death.

A Lady's Reasons for not Dancing.
1. Dancing woul l lead me Info
crowdod rooms and late boars, wltioli
aro injurious to health auJ usiifuU
nna.
2. Dancing would load mo into
very cloe contact with vory porni
oious oompaoy, and evil couimuuica
tions corrupt good mtnnort.
J. Dtnotng woulJ rciiuiro mo to
uo sod permit I'reo lom with the otli
cr sex of which I should bo heartily
siiamod, and which I boliuvo to bo
wrong.
t. My parent and friends woulJ
ho anxious ubont me if I were out
lat' keeping oompaoy witb, they
know not whom.
5. Milliliters nnd good people in
getiorul dmupprovo of il inning, and 1
think it is uot mIo to set myh.-li o
Ki uiMi mum. n a tlnug Do even
doubtful, I wish to bo on tbe tufo
side.
G. Dancing has a bad narao, and 1
mean to study things that aro pure
and lovely aud of good report.
. jJaucing is geuerally accom
panied with driukiug, and 1 see
driuklng produces a great deal of
evil.
8. I am told that dancing is a
great temptation and snare to youug
men, and I do not wish to have any
thing to do with leading them away.
v. uancwg onhts tbe mind for
serious reflections and prayer, and I
mean to do nothing that will es
trange me from my God and Savior.
10. ibere are plenty of graceful
exercises and cheerful amusements
which bave none of tbe objections
connected witb thorn that lie against
dancing.
