u bouse, rings and Is received by Its mas
ter, a good looking young man. by ti
misunderstanding be supposes that her
companion left behind Is her husband,
and by way of a Jest she falls to correct
the error. She Is shown to u room whero
n maid and all the necessaries of a toilet
are In readiness. After changing her
tiros;, she goes downstairs and llnds
supper lor two on the table. She and
Hie joung man, who Introduces himself
as Noel Forrester, have supper. After
ward an arrival Is announced, and For
fster tells Mrs. Nettleton that It Is 'Ce

and proves to be a handsome young girl.

This Is Mrs. Nettleton, Celeste," said

Noel. "Mrs. Nettleton?" she repeated,
with a (stronger pmidinsls.
Yes,. Mrs. Nettleton," said Noel, pok
Inpr the lire.' Then lie turned round and
added: "Hy nn unexpected but most
f'-tunato chance Mrs. Nettleton has ar
rived the same evening as you, Celeste,
lio sit down liv the tire."
Ci Ifsto took no notice of this Invita
tion, but stood In statuesque stillness
by the tablo; her eyes were llxcil on

clons In the asony of being suspected,
started the story of the strange events
which had brought her to Mr. rrrest
er's door that evening. Celeste listened
In silence, but to Marcla's dismay a
look of undisguised Incredulity spread
ovor her handsome features as the tale
proceeded. Once only she Interrupted
"The gentleman you, speak of as Fred
i your husband?" sha asked, coldly.
Marcla looked from her impassive
face to the pleasant smile of Noel For
rester. There was a chance for the
truth now; but would not the truth
seem of all things most Incredible to
this ley girl? Marcla colored, looked
down, hesitated, presented every sign
f severe confusion, but she dared not
face Noel's smile, nnd Celeste's unbe
lieving stiffness.
''Of course my husband," she mur
mured, In the end.
"I see," observed Celeste, and at, last
she moved, sitting down in an arm
chair and gazing into the fire. Marcia
sank on a sofa by the wall. N'oel For
rester stood between them, warming
his back and looking from one to the
other with much appaient amusement.
"I hope he'll como soon," Marcla
moaned.
"Oh, I hope no," said Noel, with a
laugh.
"1 don't expect to see him just yet,"
obsrrved Celeste, in a tone of delicate
irony. .
The limit of Marcla's patience wns
reached. Guilty lvu-self of the merest
peccadillo, nay, of the merest pleasant
ly, she was being subjected to con
temptuous and scornful treatment and
to the most injurious suspicions by a
lady concerning whom she began her
self to have the gravest doubts. Ignor
ing her own vulnerability, she deter
mined on nn offensive movement
"I haven't been formally Introduced
to you yet," she remarked to Celeste,
with a look ns full of significance and
distrust as that which the new-comer
luul directed at herself.
Her remark elicited only a scornful
smile from Celeste. Hut Noel Forrestei
gave a very low whistle as he opened
his case and took out another cigar
ette. Then ho nodded slightly nnd In a
rather confidential way at Marcla.
"You've hit it there," he seemed to say.
Marcia although not at all comforted
by his demeanor, stuck to her point
and turned from Celeste to him. "Will
you tell me what I am to call this
lady?" sh asked.
"I thought I told you to call her by
my name," lie said, in a tone of bland
surprise. "I meant to say that. By my
name, please, Mrs. Nettleton."
Without more Marcia launched her
lKilt.
"Hut Miss Forester or Mrs. Forres
ter?" A pause followed. Marcla watched
her companions closely. They glanced
at one another, at first apparently In
fcome llttl hesitation or confusion.
Then, to Marcla's dlsmny and wrath,
both burst at the same Instant into
loud and merry laughter. . Marcla
Bprang to her feet, glaring at them.
They laughed on for some seconds; the
joke seemed to amuse them very much.
At last Celeste controlled herself and
gasped out In an exhausted tone;
"Oh, Mrs., please. We're all Mrs. to
night Mrs. Nettleton." And then, with
another glance at Noel, she went off
into a renewed peal of mirth which

at herself In the glass over the mantel
piece, ' cried, triumphantly: "Don't I
make n splendid Mrs. Forrester?"
M.ircla sank back on her sofa In
speechless horror. Who was this crea
ture? Into what company had she
come?
At this moment the door opened and
Susan uppeared. Marcla's fancy cast a
lurid light on Susan's falr-sccmlnu; re
spectability. A will ted sepulchre, this
Susan t
"What Is It?" asked Noel. Ills tone
was composed, but his eyes still twin
kled. "The carrlaRe has returned, sir. Mr.
Nettleton had found his way to the
inn."
"Ah, good! You must feel relieved,
Mrs. Nettleton."
"Mr. Nettleton wishes to thank you
for your great kindness to Airs. Net
tleton, sir, and since you're so good,
he'll remain at the inn tonight and call
for Mrs. Nettleton early In the morn
ing. He trusts, sir, that you've been
put to no Inconvenience."
"Inconvenience! On the contrary!
That'll do, Susan. The ladles will ring
vhen they Want you." Susan with
drew. Noel turned to Marcla: "I'm
afraid you must resign yourself to be
ing sheltered by this roof until the
morning," he said.
"I won't stay!" cried Marcla, In fierce
wrath at Fred's desertion of her. How
like a lazy, selfish boy to prefer the
comfort of the Inn to her safety and
the plain dlctntes of propriety! Mr. For
rester's brow was wrinkled In per
plexity. "I don't see how you can go alone,"
he said, "it wouldn't be safe. And
even If I had a fresh horse it would be
positive cruelty to send the coachman
L -y5
out again; and er under the circum
stances" (he glanced for an instant at
Celeste) "it would be difficult for me to
offer to escort you."
"Escort her! Impossible!" observed
Celeste. "Would you leave me alone,
Noel?"
Marcia was beaten. Much as she
loathed her present position she dared
not face the solitary journey.
"If 1 must, I must!" she said, rising
with nn obstinate look on her face.
"It's such a pleasure for me to offer
you hospitality," Noel assured her.
"There's plenty of room only Celeste
and me besld"s lu the house. And we
shan't be In your way."
"No," said Celeste, with a smile.
"I'll go to my own room! said Mar
cla, haughtily,
"It's' my room," observed Celeste, in
a meditative, half- absent tone.
"Don't bo Inhospitable, my dear
Celeste. I'm sure you'd make Mrs. Net
tleton welcome to anything that is
yours."
"Oh, well, with one exception,"
laughed Celeste, directing an arch
glunce toward' Noel.
"You're really too charming!" ho
cried, and. bonding, he took her hand
and kissed It. But he seemed still to
have nn eye for Marcia amid his devo
tion to Celeste.
"Oh!" gasped Marcla, making for the
door. But she was not quick enough to
prevent Noel Forrester opening it for
her and honoring her angry departure
with a deferential bow. As the door
closed behind her a gay shout of laugh
ter from the abandoned creatures whom
she left set the crown on her shame
nnd anger. And they thought !
Horror on horror! They thought that
she was ns bad as themselves! She did
not hear the remarks .which followed
Immediately on her exit.
"Poor woman! It's really rather
hard on her!" said Celeste.
"Oh, I don't know! And didn't she
look pretty in her tantrum?" said Noel.
"I'd better not ask what she thinks of
me."
"I certainly mean to And out her
opinion of me, though."
"You old silly!" And then they
kissed one another. Happy Indeed were
the eyes of Mrs. Nettleton In that they
did not behold this thing.
Marcla did not enjoy her nlgh't In the
blueroom. The red tea-gown, once her
delight, had become un Instrument of
torture. She Hung it from her with
fierce relief. "When she had got into
bed she lay wakeful for a long time, tor
tured by apprehension and remorse.
What might not happen In such a
house? And why, oh', why had she
given nny excuse to the creatures by
that silly falsehood about her husband?
As she reflected she grew terribly
ashamed of this little falsehood; it
swelled to vast dimensions. She hoped
most fervently that Fred would not
discover It. To prevent that catastro
pho she would be Rllent as to all the
IndlgnltleH with' which she had suffered,
and would not extort her brother-lu-law
to call Mr. Noel Forrester to account.
Yet, at last, woin out by these nnd oth
er no less poignant solf-npproaches,she
found forgetfulness In sleep.
In the morning Susan brought her a
most admirable breakfast; her own
garments reappeared, dried, brushed
nnd spruce. In spite of herself she be
gan to feel in better spirits; but thltr
Impiovement was not to last. Susan
daMied her to the ground ngnln by an
nouncing that Mr. Nettleton had ar
rived and wns now at breakfast. When
would Mrs. -Ncttletgn be plensed o
come downstairs?
"In a few moments," muttered Mar
cla, laced with the horrible necessity of
meeting her brothor-ln-law and her
host, both of whom must now know oiN
her deception. Hut Celeste? She had
a weapon In Celeste. If Noel Forrester
assailed her she would strike back and
strlko homo. She held, her hend high
as she walked downstairs. In the hall
the man-servant was busy polishing her
bluycle. On the sight of her ho desist
ed nnd hastened to open the dining
room door. She wenl In anil glanci'd
quickly around. Fred was eating kid
neys with a hearty appetite, lie laid
down his knife and fork and greeted her
with a "Hurrah!" Noel Forrester rose
from the head of the tablo and bowed
most politely. Celeste was not to bo
"OH!" GASPED MARCIA, MAKING
FOR THE DOOH.'
seen. Noel expressed a polite hope that
Mrs, Nettleton (there was a shade of
emphasis on the name) had slept well.
The morning seemed somehow so dif
ferent from the night before that she
could do no more than murmur a con
ventional "Very, thank you." Yet she
had meant to say something quite oth
er than this.
"Really we're both most awfully
obliged to you," said Fred to his host.
"Not many fellows would put them
selves out as you did."
"1 assure you I didn't put myself out
at all," said Noel. "I only wish that I
could have offered Mrs. Nettleton better
entertainment."
Marcla sat down to the table.
"Have you breakfasted, Marcia?"
asked Fred.
"Yes, thank you, upstairs," she an
swered. "I can't think," said Fred, "why wo
men like to breakfast upstairs. I hate
It."
"I understood that Mrs. Nettleton
preferred it," said Noel..
Marcla's answer was a slight Inclina
tion of her head. Her thoughts Were
busy with the question of Celeste.
"Well," said Fred, who was In high
good humor and talkative, "all I can
suy Is that If I ever marry I hope my
wife won't like it."
The thing had come! Marcla dared
not look up, dared meet neither Fred's
eye nor Noel's. She gazed fixedly at
the tablecloth, awaiting the exposure
that must follow. Well, she would not
be struck without striking back. What
of Celeste.?
"I confess," said Noel Forester, in a
suave tone, "that I think It would be
pleasant to see one's wife at the break
fast table."
Marcla raised her eyes In one swift
glance. He was smiling and apeared
unconscious of anything unusual. But,
as her eyes met his, he gave her one
significant look. Its meaning was
plain; It proposed to her a partner
ship, a conspiracy of guilty silence. If
he said nothing about her falsehood she
was to say nothing of Celeste. Her
eyes fell again to the table, and again
she knew that she blushed. She hated
bitterly the degrading position in which
she found herself.

Susquehanna, March 2. Professor
Clifton's menagerie nnd museum hns
been wintering near Susquehanna.
Among the aggregation Is a snake,
twenty-live feet long. The snakb has
not tasted food for several months. On
Sundny the professor left the reptMo
crawling about on a new, soft white
blanket, and when she returned the
blanket was gone, but his snakeshlp's
figure was not quite so pretty as It used
to be. He was all bunions, knots and
bolls, and had evidently much stouten,
when the truth dawned upon the pro
fessor that the reptile had swallowed
hlsnew blanket. Medical aid was sum
moned, and he wns given a pall of
beer with which to wnsli the blanket
down, und he Is now as chipper as a
two-year old. The doctors claim that It
will be just as easy for the snake to
digest the blanket as the live chickens
and rabbits, feathers, bones, fur and
all, on which he lives. Another blanket
Was furnished him, but this time It
was nailed to the lloor of the cage. The
other blanket has been working Its
way down the snakes body, and late
last night It was In a fair way of
getting near his tall. It Is proposed to
consult a surgeon with a view of cut
ting a hole near the snake's tall and
pulling the blanket out rather than
wait for the natural process of diges
tion. AN HONORED CITIZEN GONE.

He had a curiosity in the fish line.
In the shape of an infant trout with
throe heads. He said that two-headed
or two-tailed frey were quite common,
but they never lived for more than

of the arbitrators is that twenty-eight
hours constitute the standaul of time

A COW AND THE PROCESSION.
A thrilling Incident happened the
other day ut a funeral In this county.
The pall-bearers and other officials
were In the act of bearing the remains
of the late lamented from the cemetery
gates to the grave, and the relatives
and friends followed sadly In the wake,
allowing their bitter tears to filter
through large handkerchiefs, when a
one-horned bony cow, with fiery eye
and nn elevated tall, bore down on the
cortege and butted the gentlemen who
bore; the coffin Into a coiulltlon of rage
nnd lnenpaclty; then she skipped
about, sideways, trod upon the proces
sion, and wore holes In It with her soli
tary horn, after which the remainder
of the mourners, sought comparative
safety on top of tombstones and other
elevated places, leaving the dead and
wounded on the field of action. The
grave-digger subsequently diverted the
cow's attention with a spade, and the
funeral concluded decorously.
