RETRIBUTION. DT THE AUTHOR OF "TUB HrtB TO ASHI.BT.' chapter nr. A WABM.NG. It was a blazing hot day in August, some years later. More especially hot it fell at the railway stntiou of Offord, a quiet country village, for it was a small, bare station, with not a tree and but litllu coverinp about it to shade off the sum s hot glare. 1 ha 2 o clock train camo puffint; up, stopped, deposited a few passengers and a good deal of luggage, and went screaming nod puffing on again. Nearly all who bod alighted were of one party Mr. and Mrs. Yorke, their two young children, and some servants. She was young and beautiful, but of cold, apathetic manner. Jier liufband was older, not a bad-looking man, but his expression of face was unpleas ing, particularly when, in laughing, the whole of his teeth v,ere displayed large, regular teeth, so white that they almost glistened. From the love, incidental to Englishmen, of temporary change, of new scenes, Mr. Yorke, a man of good fortune, has qailttd bis own commodions residence fur a "shooting box" in another county. Ail he knew of "Alnwick Cottage" be knew through bq ad vertisement, except what be learnt by two or three letters from Mr. Maskell, who hud the charge of letting it. Excellent fishing and shooting were promised, and Mr. Yorke bad taken it for six months. It stood nearly a mile beyond the village. On the afternoon of his arrival, Mr. Yorke strolled out to have a look at the locality. Ha was a haughty man, and did not fuel pleased that Mr. Miskell had omittod to receive him. When he reacbrd Offord one of the first houses be saw was Mr Mnskell's, as the door-plate announced "Mr. Maskell, Lawyer and Conveyancer." lie rang, and was admitted. "1 am so sorry not to have met you at the station," began Mr. Maskell, when bo learnt who his visitor was. "I was called suddenly out of Offord this morning to make a gentle man's will, and have not been Lome half an boor. I have dispatched my clerk to Aln wick Cottage with the inventory. ir, I hope you will like Offord." "It seems a very poor place;" remarked Mr. Yorke. "The village can't boast much, but the ' neighborhood is superior a small sociuty, but excellent. Capital footing, too 1" 'Have yon good medical advice?" J "He is a very nice young fallow, our doc tor. We have but one ; the place would not , support more." Mr. Yorke's lips curled. He had not been thinking of "nice young fellows," but of supe rior medical men. "1 asked you about the , doctor before I decided on the cottage, and you wroto me there was an excellent one," said be iu a dissatisfied tone. "It is most essential, where there's a family, to be near a clever medical man. "We all think hiin very clever," replied the lawyer. "He bought practice three jears o;;o ; our surceon had died, and I negotiated it for bis widow ; and has attended us ever since, and is a great favorite. He was in London two years before that, qualified assistant to a large medical practitioner, l'lenty of experience he bad there; was run off bis legs the hole of the two years. He as smoking his cigar with me yesterday eve ning, he often runs in, does Janson, and was saying " "What is his name!" interrupted Mr. Yorke, his accent shrill and unnatural. "Janson." "What?" The lawyer wondered whether Mr. Yorke was attacked with sudden de&ruesi, and why his eyes glared, and bis teoth shone out, so like fangs. "Janson," ha repeated "Edward Janson. Do you know him ?" Mr. Yorke's mouth closed again, and bis manner culmned down. "1 thought it a cu rious name," suid be j "that's all. Is it Enir. lish ?" b "Of Dutch origin, I guppose. Janson is an Englishman." "Does be live in the village" "A few doors lower down. It is the corner houso as you come to Itye Lane ; the garden door at the back opens on the lane 1 assure you, sir, you may call in this gentleman with every confidence, should yon or your family require medical advice." Meanwhile, everybody was busy at Aln wick Cottage, as it the case wben going into a fresh residence. Fiocb. tbe nurse, a confi dential servant, who bad been Mrs. Yerke's maid before ber marriage, was deputed to go through the boose witb tbe lawyer's clerk and tbe inventory. Mrs. Yorke declining the troublo. Tbe eldest child, a boy of four years, cnose and be bad a will or nit own- to attjud on Fincb, Finch submitting to tbe companionship, failing in tome coaxing at tempts to get rid of him. But after a while be greir tired of tbe process of looking at ahairi and tables, and cups and saucers, and uoitted ber to to dowo stairs. "Uo to Charlotte, Leo, dear said Fiosb j "! shall toon have done. Charlotte," she called out over tbo banisters, "see to Master Leo." When Fincb and tho clerk had finished the inventory, the latter proceeded to the small room on the grouna-floor which had been appropriated as the nursery. In tbe list it was set down as "butler's pantry." Chnr lotte, the under nnrso, sat thore, with the youngest child asleep on her lap. "Where's Muster Leo?" nslted Finch, ab breviating, as she usually did, his namo, "Leopold." "I sent him here, aud ordered yon to see after him." "Ha didn't come," was Charlotte's answer, "and the child was just dropping off to sleep. He wouldn't come here to me, if he could go to bis mamma." "You'd let him be witb his mamma forever, yon would, if it saved you a little trouble," cried Fincb, who of court domineered over Charlotte, tipper-nurso fashion. "1 bate this moving, 1 do such a bother 1 Nothing to be got at, and one's regular meals and hours upset. I'm as tired as a poor jaded horse ; and you sitting here, doing nothing, with that child on your lap ! You might l.nvo put him down and got a cup or tea for us." Am 1 to put him or. tho floor ?" retorted Charlotte. "I dou't know which is to bo th? children's bed." Finch flung out of the room in sesreb of Leo. Her labors that day, and tho discom fort around her, made her cross. He was oat to bo found in doors, and she went to the garden. Very soon a shriek of horror and fright arose from ber. It drew her mistress out; and tho lawyer's clerk, who had been departing, heard it, aud ran back iu its di rection. Leopold Yorke had met with a ladder, reared against tho side of the house, and hud climbed up in all a boy's adventurous spirit. He had fallen ofl, poor child, it was iiiipc;ssi bltt to say from whut l.cipht, mid now lay in sensible on the gravel, with an uoly gash in bis forcheud, from which thu - blood was oozing. Finch stopped ber groans and lumorta tinns, and stooped to pick him up. lint Mrs. Yorke snatched him from him, aud crouched down on tho earth, witb one knee raised, and laid him upon it, and looked up with a hope less, helpless expression at the lawyer's clerk, the words scarculy audible which camo from her whito lips : "A doctor where docs one live ?" "I'll fetch him, ma'am ; I'll run every step of tho way. I don't miud the heat," cried tho sympathizing clerk. He did not wait another moment, but sped away. Leopold was conveyed in-doors ; and, before the surgeon got there who also seemed to have come on the run the child had recovered consciousness, and Fitcb had washed the wound, which now seemed dis armed of three parts of its terrors. Mr. Janson, a very fine man, wanting yet a year or so of thirty, bound it up, ordered the boy to bo kept quiet, aud said be would send iu a little calming medicine. "May 1 daro to shake bands with you ?" he asked, with a frank, pleasant smile, but with a somewhut heightened color, wben ho aud Mrs. Yorke were left alone. She placed her baud within hTS quite as frankly, though the glow was fur deeper on her face than on his. "How strange that we should meet hero ?" she excluimed. ' I re cognized you tho moment you came in." "As I did you." be returned. "Hut I was firfpared for it bad been a matter of specu alion in my mind whether the Mr. n:nl Mrs. Yorke who were coining to Alnwick Cottage could bo you and your husband. 1 have beeu settled at Offord these three years. "May 1 ask if you are " Mrs. Yorke hesitated, but probably thought she must finish her question, as bLo had begun it 'married ?' "To my profession I am in no other way. My thoughts aud hopes havo been wholly given to it since since I fully entered upou it." "Will the child do well ?'' she inquired. "Ob, yes ; it is but a slight affair ; 1 was prepared for something worsp, by the accouut of Mr. Maskell's (.lurk. A little blood, espe cially on the bead aud face, frightens those not accustomed to it. 1 hose accidents will happen whore there ure children. He is your ! eldest ( I "Yes. I bavo but two." J "I will send up the medicino I sp-ke of, and call again in tbo morning, "said Mr. Jun-j son, rising. "Make my compliments to Mr. Yorke." Mr. Janson departed, and Mrs. Yorke looked after him. As he turned to cl-?e tbe iron gate, he saw her standing at the window, i and politely raised his hat, and Mrs. Yorke politely boned in return. 1 outely-tue word is put advisedly j whatever there may hove been of love or romance between them a tew years ago, it was over now. h.itever seu- timenlul reminiscences each bed hitherto re tained of tbe other, they knew that from tlrut afternoon henceforth they subsided ioto their proper au J respective positions Mrs. XorKe as auothei'8 wife, and Mr. Janson but as a friend or ber s and ber busbaud s ns honora ble, right-miuded persons, in similar cases, ought, and would, and do subside. Mr. Yorke, after exploring as far as be thought necessary that day, turned back to his new borne. His thoughts ran not on tho features of the villatre. or on the scenery around, or ou tbe fishing, or the shooting ; tbey dwelt exclusively ou the tew word.) ol Mr. Maskell s which had reference to tue surgeon. Mr. Xorlie bated that surgeon witb a deep and nourished hate, and he would iuGoitely have preferred to find he bad visited locality where tbe arch-Ceud owned a country-bouse, than one containing Edward Janson. He was drawing pretty near to bis own gate when be saw a gentleman emerge from it. A snudder strange and cold passed through Mr. Yorku't veius. Was it sent as a warn ing the precursor of what was to come? Surely that was tbe man of bis thoughts ? Yes. it was ! Junson, and no other 1 What! bad be already found out the way to bis borne to hii tcift ! Mr. Yorko't lips opened, and bis teeth parted witb a savage motion, somewhat like a tiger's. Mr. Janson did not observe him. - He walked straignt acroes the road, got over a stile, and weut away very quickly along a Sold patb. "He may well try to avoid my observation," thought Mr. Yorke, in bis pre judice; and bad he beeu told tbe real facts be would have refused belief that Mr. Jan son did not see biin, and being iu a burry, was taking tbe short way through the field to bis home. Matters were not mended when Mr. Yorke turned in at bis gate. There stood hit wife at tbe wiudow, her eyes unmistakably fixed on Mr. Janton's retreating form. She looked flushed and excited, which indeed was tbe effect of ber late fright about the child but Mr. yorke set it down to different eaute. "I am glad yon bave come borne," the ex claimed, wben be entered. "What Jo you tbiiiK uat happened r "I know," burst forth Mr. Yoiko. "No osed tu tell o-e," Mrs. Yorke supposed ho had seen the law yer's clerk. What else could she suppose? "It will not end badly," she continued, fearing he was angfy at its having happened "Mr. Janson says so. Only think I he is the doctor hero. You must have seen him leaving the houso." "Yes, I did see him," retorted Mr. Yorke, nearly choking with his efforts to keep down his anger. "What brought him here ?" "I sent for him at least, t sent " "And bow dared you send for him, or admit him to my house ? How dared you seize the moment my back was turned to fefth him to your side? Was tho meeting, moy I ask, a repetition of the parting?" "Whatever are yon talking of?" ottered Mrs. Yorke, poling a littlo with old recollec tions, and vexed at tho torn her husband seemed to bo taking. "What do yoti mean ?" "I mean Janson," hissed Mr. Yorke "Jan son, your former favored lover. Have I been so distasteful a husband to you that you rrrust hasto indecently to fetch him to console Jr'ou in tho first hour of your arrival hero ? Who told you ho lived in Offord? How did yon ferret it out ? or havo yoti known it all alone and concealed the knowledge from mo ?" Mrs. Yorke sank back in ber chuir, awed and bewildered. "I do tbiuk you are out of your mind," she gasped. "No, madam, 1 leave that to you ; yon oro far moro out of your mind than I am. Lis ten : I havo a warning to givo you : you know me, and know that I will keep my word. (Jet Janson to visit you clandestinely again, and 1 will shoot him." Mrs. Yorke rose majestically. "I do not understand the word 'clandestine,' " she hnnghtily said ; "it can never apply to me. When the accident happened to Leopold and I truly thought ho was dead, and so did Finch, and so did the young man who bad been going over the inveutory and I begged tho young man to run for the nearest 6urgeon I no more knew that it was Mr. Janson who would come than did tho senseless child. Hut it did prove to be Mr. Janson, end be dressed tho wound of the child, and he is coming again to him to-morrow morning. He ca ne hero professionally to attend your child, sir not to see me. Clandestine '." Mrs. Yorke swept out of the room, her face flushing with indignation, and Mr. Yorke strode up stairs to Leopold's bud-room and learnt what hud bappcued. It cannot be said that it appeased him to any great degree, for he was blindly prejudiced, and jualousy and suspicion had turned his mind to a gangrene. They bad been smouldering there for years ; fierhaps the consciousness had been upou lim throughout that tbey would some time burst ioto a flnmo. On the following morning Mr. Janson came, according to bis promise Mr. and Mrs. Yorke were at breakfast. He shook hands with Mrs. Yorke, then turned, with his frank, open countenance to Mr. Yorke. Mr. Yorke did not choose to see it, but be did move his own to indicate a chair. "Thank you, I om pressed for time," replied Mr. Janson, laying bis hand on the back of tbe chair, but not taking it, '-This is my hour for visiting Lady Hicb, who is a great invalid. She lives a little past you, op the road. How is my young yatient?" "He seems much better," answered Mrs. Yorke. "He is asking to get up." "A most disgraceful piece of carelessness to have saiflered it to happen," interposed Mr. Yorke. "I have told tho bead nurse that should she ever bn guilty of such negligence again, sho quits Mrs. Yorke's service. It might havo killed him." "Yes, it might," added Mr. Janson. "Can I go to bis room ?" M rs. Yorke roso. "Tho one on the right, on the second floor," she said. "1 will follow you directly. Fiuch is there." Mr. Janson passed from tho room and as cended the stairs : Mrs. Yorke stopped to speak to ber husband. "1 must hear bis opinion of tbe child, and shall go up ; would you like to accompany mo if" she added, not wholly able to conceal the contempt of her tone. "No." They came down shortly, both Mr. Janson and Mrs. Yorke. "He is so much better that the difficulty will be to keep him quiet," said the former. "He must be still for a day or two." "Vou aro sure there is no danger?" asked Mr. Yorke, who was now standing at tbe open window. "Ob, nono in tbe world. I will look in again to morrow. Good aioruing, sir; good morning M rs. Yorke." Mr. Yorke had thawed a little; pcrhapB tlio mutter-of-fuct, unsuspicious manner of Mr. Janson reassured him. "It is a bot day again," 6aid be as Mr. Janson passed tbe win dow. "Very. Hy the way, Mrs Yorke," added the surgeon, halting for a moment, "you must not sutler tho boy to stir outsido. J he suu might affect bis bead." "Of course not," she answered. However, Leopold did get outside, he and his white-bandued forehead, anp tore about buy-like, the sun's rays streaming full on his uncovered bead. I u some twenty minutes he was discovered: the bandage off, and be as scarlet as a red-hot engine boiler. Suddenly bo began to scream out, "My bead aches, my head aches 1" Finch said it was "temper" at being brought in, and crossly assured him if his bead did ache, which she didu't bolieve, for be never had it, jt cume as a punishment for slying out iu disobedience. Hut at night the child was so ill end unea sy that Mr. Yorke, himself sent for tbo sur geon. Leopold's face had not paled, aud be Etill moaned out the same cry, "My head, my beod !" "Ho bas been out," exclaimed Mr. Janson; "why was I disobeyed ? This is a sun stroke." Nobody was to blame. Mrs. Yorke bad coaxed him iuto lying on 'bo sofa iu the sitting-room "for a uice mid-day sleep," and weut into the nursery, leaving him, as she believed, safe. Up jumped Mr. Leopold the instant be found himself at liberty, and drop ped down from tbe low window which stood bo temptingly open His heart was set upon getting into the garden simply because it was denied to him. In a few days be was se far recovered that only an intermittent fever remained. Mr. Yorke, in spite of his joalous prejudices, bad been obliged to submit to Mr. Janson's fre quent visits, for there was no other doctor within miles, and tbe safety of bis son and heir was paramount. Tbe neighborhood bad hastened to make acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Yorke, and one day an invitation came for them to take a quiet dinner at Squire Hipgrave's. It was accepted by botb, for Leopold's intermittent fdver was subsiding, aud they were do looger under alarm for him. They found a small party of seven at tbe squire's, themselves Included. The eighth seat was meant for M r. Janson, but be bad been called out suddenly, and was unable to come. The gentlemen's conversation turned chiefly opon out door sports, and after diuoer when coffee was ovor they went out, that Mr. Yorke mlpbt see a pond on the grounds where the fish were being preserved, leaving tbe ladies alone. Mr. Janson came in, but scarcely bad be bad time to explain the cause of his absence at dinner, wben a servant appeared and told him he was wanted. "How tiresome !" exclaimed tho hostess. "A doctor's time is never his own," ho re marked, good humoredly. "Is it my surgery boy 1" he inquired of the servant. "No. sir. It is a footman from Alnwick Cottage. He says your boy sent him on hero." This excited the alarm of Mrs. Yorke. "Leopold must bo worse !" she exclaimed. As it proved to bo. Master Leopold was took worse, the man said, n talking nonsense and not knowing a word of it. and hotter than ever. Fincb was frightened, and had sent him for Mr. Janson. Mrs. Yorke grew frightened also, and said she must go home immediately. They tried to keep her, nnd to soothe her fears. Mr. j Jauson said he would uo, and make hasto l oacK to report to her. It wns ol no use. Neither would she wait till Mr. Yorke came iu. "Then, if yoa will al'ow me, I will be your escort, said Mr. Janson. "indeed 1 shall lie much obliged to you," ; she answered. And hurriedly putting on her shawl, she departed with him" one of tho. la- j dies lending her a black silk hood for her head. She had anticipated returning in tho j enrrioge. It wos a beautiful night in Sep. i tcuiber, nearly us light as tiny, for the horvest ' moon was high, just the night poets nro fond . of consecrating to lovers; but Mr. Jati3on I and Mrs. Yorke walked ulong fast, and in so- I date composure, neither remembering at : least so far as was suffered to appear that ' they had ever been more to each other than I they wero now. I The three gentlemen were strolling along ' the banks of tho fish pond, smokinir their ci gars and talking. Suddenly one of them es- j pieu a couple walking arm in arm on the patb ' in tho higher ground, some distance off. j "Jt looks like Jauson," cried Squire Hip- ; grave. " 1 hat s just Ins walk : and that s tho I way he flourishes bis cane, too. Who is the lady I wonder? So ho. Master Junson I a, good excuse for not joiuing us ; you are more agreeably employed." Mr. Yorke smiled grimly : his eye, keen as it was, had failed to recognize his wife, for tbe hood disguised her. Tbey smoked out their cigars, and leturned to the bouse. "Have we. not a good joke aguinst' Janson!" cried Squire Uipgrave. "I'll rate nim for not coming, lie's walking about in the moonlight with some damsel on bis arm, as snug as may bo. "Is he now?" returned one of the ladies humoring the joke. "Who can it bo ?" "Oh, some of our village beauties. Master Janson has got an eye for a pretty girl, I know, quiet as he seems. He's making love to ber bard enough, I'll be bound." "Then you had better look out, Mr. Yorke" laughed Mrs. Uipgrave, "for the lady is your own wife."' She bad spoken innocently, never for one moment dreaming that her words could bear any interpretation but that of a joke to tbe ear of Mr. Yorke. Aud happily she did not see the livid look, the awful expression which arose to his face. He had turned it to tbe wiudow, as if he would look out on the plea sunt moonlight. "How comes it to be Mrs. Yorke ?" deman ded the squire. And bis wife explained. Still Mr. Yorke did not speak. . One of the party advanced and stood at his side. "A fino prospect fioni this window, is it not?" "Very." "Will you cut in for whist ? How unfortu nate to have our tables broken up ! We can not make two, uow. Junson rarely plays at cards, but 1 meant to have pressed bim into tbe serviuo to-night." "1 am going home," said Mr. Yorko. "Nousense!" said Mrs. Hipgravo. "Tbe child will do very well. Mr. Junson did uot sce.m to anticipate danger ; be said tiurses were easily alarmed." "I expect he did not," dryly remarked Mr. Yorke. "Thuuk you, not to-night," he added turniug from the cards spread out to bim. "Another time." "Yorke's iu a fever over that child," cried tho squire, knowingly, as bis guest departed j "1 can read it in his queer manner. Did you notice bow it altered I What a nuisance chil dren must be 1 Glad we bave got none." Mr. Yorke was not in a fever over tbe child : but Mr. Yorko was in a fever over something else. He was positively believing in spite of all improbabilities ; that the story of the illness bad been a got up excuse, got up between his wife and Mr. Janson, to In dulgo iu this night-walk of a mile and a half. And he clenched his bands, and gnashed his teeth, and strode fiercely along in his foaming jealousy. He stole in at his own g tte and roconnoi tered the house. The general sitting-room was in darkness, its window open ; they weie not there. A light shone up stairs iu Leo pold's chamber, uud one also in bis wife's bed room. He stole up stairs, stealthily still, and en tered tho bedroom, his own, jointly with hers. Tbe housemaid was turning down tho bed. "Is your mistress come borne?'1 asked ho, speaking', perhaps uucousciously to himself, in a whisper. "Yes, sir; she came in with Mr. Janson. Tbey are witb Master Loopold."

Of the white-ash 3.71100 lbs., in 100, were soluble iu water, and in the red-ash, 3.35.100 lbs.

I n loukiug at these results, the following conclusion seems to bo reached ; that in the ash of Anthracite coal, calling these fair sam- ' pies, there are in every 100 lbs., from 4 to 8 lbs. of valuable inorganic material, of a nature suitable for adding to ony soil re-piiring man ures.
