When I awoke Monsieur's heart was gone, and the air Tull of shadows. I've lieen searching ever since for it." She liesan pacing up and down the rotan. We were stopping for a week at a hotel in a lam; inland town. This conversation had lieen carried on in the parkir a long 1 wide room, looking westward. As mad- walked I thought I had never seen her half so iK-autiful. She wore a tlres of I gome soft Wack stuff, which trailed on the bright lined carpet. . This was relieved ny a gauzy scarlet mantle, as delicate and filmy as the wings of a butterfly. While she went to and fro restlessly the stranger came noiselessly in and walked lieside her. She did not notice him, but looked straight f n, .-indow to the green trees, and Ull vi i"1- " - bevond them to the wide sunset. For myself, 1 grew angry aim iicaee-.. u. the strangers boldness. If he had any thing to say to her, why did he not speak ? What right had he to do her steps so per sistently 1 At least I would tell madamc. As I started forward to speak the strange gentleman raised his hand to his forehead ..d I saw something on it that glowed blood red in the sunlight. 1 looked at t eagerly and saw the shape of a heart out linwl ol the slender white finger. My heart bounded. Here was the lover who had stolen madam's ring. It should be re stored to her, and once more she should hnow happiness. Ah, how frightened I got, though! ' While my lips were parted to speak, aud my hand reached forth to touch his arm, he was gone, anil I stood quite alone with Madame lWis. 'What makes you so white P she asked, stopping short in her walk. 'Why, he has gone !" '"Who has gone V '"The gentleman who walked licside you." 'Indeed, who go honored me?" she said. inc.rcduou.sIy. '-I was busy with my thoughts." "A 8tran.ee gentleman walked with you near you and as I started towards him he disappeared. Madame laughed a low, musical laugh, hut I saw that the white hand that clasped her scarlet mantle over her heart wan shak ing. Her lips grew white and dry. "I hope he was handsome." 'Very ; and a mouth like a girl's." Her forehead grew puckered into scowls. "And what else?" 'lie wore a ring with a Llwxl-rcd heart I pray that I may never on earth sf a face so fearful as was luadamc's at that moment. I put up a quick prayer, for I thought she was altout to kill me.

She cowered down at my feet, and cov evered her eyes with her mantle. I do not know how long I stood there, or how long she knelt without moving. I know the "gun? stood motionless at the window, look- ing at ns with steady, unwavering eves. Mould he never fro. Would he ho old us forever with that .iiiict, unflinching raze? At that moment I shrieked, and madamc sprang to her feet. "A crowd came to sec us. and I fell back failing. In the morning we started.

Then her little hands pattered softly, Softly down, and her voice broke out softly to the weird accompaniment. Through it all I could hear thc fidling of ghostly feet ; the whis pers from shadowy lija. The stranger listened at her side ; so close was his face- to hers, that in the unsteady light they seemed to mingle and waver together. My God! where was I i The atmosphere was like that of a tomb! Was I among flesh and blood realities, or had I lieen drawn into the charnel-house to expiate some sin which 1 had committed 1 Sin, in deed ! what did I know of sin ? "Don't madame don't !" I cried.

It was madame's voice that aroused me. In a moment there was a sound of hurried feet in the hall, a murmur of strange voices, and some one threw oih-u the door opposite mine. I stole soft out, and crossed the hall t madamc's room.

Of course, tiie traveling public, one way or the other, must pay for all this, and people w ho stay in the best hotels and indulge in the luxury of a courier get off cheaply for $10 a day, railway fares and hotel bills in cluded.

Then raising one end dear of the ground, it halt drags ami halt-carnes the 1 log away. A light log is held in the mouth, as a d"g does a stick, and the tritsk ia used to help to balance it. Male elephants carry the logon their tusks if it is uot too heavy. If a heavy piece or work is to In- done, the elephant .Us it by push ing with his head or feet or by drawing in harness. To start a heavy loa.U the elephant throws himself into the harness collar far In-youd his centre of gravity.
