"If that is all, mother, he need not

"So all girls say until their wedding

"But thnt's not all. He has done noth.
lug but drag up that old story about
Jacob Lynn's letter that that I altered.
He says it has been the cause of all this
trouble. And I'm not at all sure that il
hasn't," concluded Mrs. Knox, with t
strangled sob.
Jane put her arms around her mother's
seek and kissed her. too loyal to admit
the truth of the self-accusation, though I
at the same time unable to deny it; and;
fet could she regret the deceit that h4 j
gained lor her those nappy wunew
days?
"You meant it for the best, dear moth,
tr; and I was very, very happy while 1
lasted," she murmured, softly.
"And there is no chance of its coinlnf
to anything again?"
"None."
"And is there no one else? Oh, Jenny
If you only knew what a load it would
take from my heart to be sure that yoo
were settled! Your father he is hall
daft, I think, at times has been talking
of retiring and going home, and then yod
would have no chance of making th

don't marry well in India you can neve

repeated Mrs. Knox, wistfully. "I hat
toped so much from your being with
Mra. Dene, and Miss Knollys so friendly
too. Have you nothing to tell me, dear?1
And then Jane, thinking it was he
mother's due, confided to her that Majot
Larron had proposed, and was to receivr
a final answer in a few days.
"Of course it will be 'Yes," " was thi
delighted comment, as the story ended.
How pleased and proud your father will
be! Why, Jane, with all your beauty, I
aeveY expected you to make such I
match as that."
"Don't take too much for granted,
AOther, dear. I have not promised to ac
cept him, only promised to hesitate abouf
refusing him."
"And she who hesitates laughed
Mia. Knox.
"Ia lost," finished Jane, gloomily, to hei
self, as her mother left.
CHAPTER XXXVI.
The day on which Jane was to give hei
answer to Barry Larron had come, and
s yet she had not decided what that an.
war was to be. If at one moment sh
could do full justice to the advantages
he had offered her, the next a sudden re
vulsion of feeling would make her deem
It impossible that she could ever marry
him. The two strong reasons that urged
her to accept him were first, the pleas'
ore this would give her parents; and sec
ondly, that if she went away from her
there was less likelihood of the knowledge
she possessed proving a source of danger
to her former lover.
Yet often a doubt crossed her mind
whether Stephen Prinsep would care for
a safety purchased so, and inconsistently
enough the thought filled her with a
Strange delight. Though he might have
forfeited all claim to her consideration,
all title to her respect, she would like to
think of him as true to the love he had
once professed. Sometimes she felt aa
though ehe, too, would like to remain un
padded for hie Bake, fres to. worship the
Ideal to which the real man had been so
far from attaining. But such constancy
was a luxury, and one in which she could
not expect to indulge, situated as she
was, with no settled home or position,
with gossip busy about her name, and
bar father anxious, she acknowledged
to' see her married. And he was not
worth it. Ah, there lay the sting! It was
not merely the Iobb of love, for which she
might have felt a healthy sorrow but
shaken faith, and trust in all good thing
ad true, uprooted and laid waste.
"Is anything tbe matter, dear? said
Mrs. Done, the girl having been too deep

laugh, "that a great honor has been of,

Jan went over to Mra. Dene's side,
and laying both arms upon her knees,
looked soberly Into her face and told her
all.

me about it. Can't you Imagine that when

when others are holding rather aloof
from me, I should be touched by bis g-eu-

to secure such a haven for myself, if It
mues nis nappinese also, aa he says It
will?"
"Every one would say you were doing
wiseiy ana weu," answered Mrs. Dene,
constrainedly.
"And you, Nora and you?"
"I am not sure. Is there no chance
of there being some misunderstanding
between you and and the man you love?
H. may care for you. and aak you to
.marry him still."
"He has asked me once, twice."
"And you refused him?" in surprise
Jane bowed her head.
Mrs. Dene understood then partly who
It was that troubled and had made her so
unlike the shy, happy child she had been
a year before.
"Nora!" cried Jane, impulaively. "Tell
me, ia Major Larron a good man, a man
with whom I might have a chance of be
ing happy V
"He is good-looking, well-mannered
and he loves you, Jenny," she answered
hesitatingly.
"That ia not what I mean. Is he
good?"
"How should I know, dear? We all
wear our beat side outward" awkwardly.
"But yon know. They say forgive me
if I am paining you perhaps I have no
right to mention it they say yon were
ouce engaged to him, and I wondered
"Why I did not marry him?" finished
Mrs. Dene, in a low, tremulous voice.
"Well, I will tell you, and you shall Judge
for yourself whether in that he waa to
blame. No, it does not pain me, dear, to
speak of him: my feeling for him was
only a girlish fancy hero worship, I sup
pose it might be called, although ao mis
applied. It is only other things connect
ed with that time that have power to
move me so, for it was through his jiltr
ng me that that I won my husband."
"He jilted you?" cried Jane.
Mrs. Dene winced. What it coat her to
reopen this old wound she alone knew,
yet ahe had resolved to tell all rather
than by her silence mislead Jane.
"Perhaps he waa not altogether in fault.
waa young and thoughtless, and flirted
though never untrue to him at heart."
"He jilted you!" repeated Jane, who,

feet, was now pacing up and down the

Then the whole story came out, nothing
extenuated, yet naught aet down in mal
ice. And Jane listened with rising wrath
against the man who, having acted so to
her best friend, had dared to ask her
also to be his wife.
"He would have jilted me, too, prober)

"No, dear. He lores you as he never

"He shall never have the chance."
-You don't mean "
"I mean that my answer to-day will be
.no!' No, no emphatically no!"
"Don't decide hastily, child. Think of
ihe position he can give yon, the luxury
of wealth that would be yours; and, re
member every one has some good in him
only waiting to be brought out. To love
any one, as Major Larron Jovea you, is
elevating in itself; every man is the bet
ter for marrying the woman he loves."
"He sha'n't marry me," aaid Jane, with
such a mutinous pout that Mrs. Dene war
obliged to smile.
Going straight to her own room ahe
wrote two letters. The first Was to her
mother, with an Instinctive feeling that
she ought to be the first to know of the
step that ahe was taking, and the aecond
to Major Larron.
"Dear Major Larron," ahe wrote, and
milled a little sadly bitterly, too, at th
stereotyped beginning of what meant m
much to both "do not come to-day. Th

but the mere suspicion was enough to
make her blood run cold and her heart
almost stop its beating.
The magnitude of her discovery so
overwhelmed Jane that for a moment all
capability of thought deserted her. Then
slowly, as one recovering from an illness,
digeat first the simplest food, a regret
stole across her still half -paralysed mind,
that she should have done Stephen Priu

a faint thrill of pleasure at the thought

he remembered to be glad that ahe had

"Now, Jenny, I am ready," said Mrs.
Knox, leading the way from the room,
while silently Jane rose and followed.

A Central street carver of wooden

years, and I and my father before me
have turned out an average of 200 cigar

of 8,000 I venture to say that 6,000 were

call 'HUwathas,' or Indian femali fig

Aluminium Diamonds.
It Is well known to Jewelers that
aluminium will mark a glass or "paste"
diamond, but not tbe true gem, pro
vided the surface is wet. This fact
has now been applied In the production
of a mechanical tester, which consists
of a small disk of aluminium rapidly
revolved by an electric motor. Tha
stone to be tested Is wetted and held
against the edge of the disk by means
of a spring clamp. When metaUlo
marks are found on tbe stone after thia
treatment It is rejected as falsa.
