"Unfortunately, my darling, she loved him fur too well. Well, the innrrini; took place one-half of the lady's fortune, which was considerable, went to free th mortgaged estates. Now, mark the se quel; at the end of a year the jurmg Countess returned to her girlhood's home, a child was born, and when the little thins waa a few weeks old the mother died!" ' "She was killed!" tried the girl, with flaming cheeks and tear-dimmed eyes killed by the cruelty and neglect of th man who had married her." "Hush, my darling!" said Frank, tnk ing her trembling hand in his. "That man was your father!" CHAPTER III. The London season began to flag; fewer horses and carriages were aeen in the I low, fashionable squares began to kok deserted, and fashionabl. beauties, jaded With ceaseless rounds of gayety, began to long for the refreshing breath of thr . sea. Frank Howarth, calling one afternoon at Portland place, found the whole house In a state of the utmost commotion, the Satin npholstery of the drawing room bad disappeared behind brown hoUand covers, the great crystal chandelier were envel oped in linen bags, and the pleas at which Constance had sat so many nights play ing sweet music to her lover waa bidden Wneath folds of linen, too. "What is the meaning of it all. Con ale? asked the young man. "It means that we are going away. Now, lon't look dull, Frank; we are merely re turning to Avondale Castle, and grandma (a going to Invite some people there, yon amongst the number." "Do you nienn it?" . "Of course I do. And who do you thinl will be there, too? Why, Alice Urey brook the tall; grave young lady who waa at school with me at Frankfort, nud who used to deliver to me sueu long lee-. tares whenever I stole out in secret to meet you! She has been for n short time In a convent, and although she is quite rich, and of very good family, she in tends to devote her life to nursing th. sick, and all that sort of thiug. he i. coming over reaUy to nurse poor grand ana. but ahe will be such a companion foi I J0ve her so much more becniiw ahe knowa yon, and will be able to tall about you." . r, Thla waa the last day spent by r ri.nl. with hla cousin in town.

Finally rrandma took me to a school iu Germany, and about a year ago I went to Frankfort and met vou." . "And we became friends, did we not'. There was something In your face, Con it nm-e, which appealed to my heart, and irew me irresistibly toward you." "You have always been so good to me, mid Constance, "and now I love you aiore than ever, because I waa with yon Ilio first time I ever saw Frank. Do you remember that day?" continued the girl, Iwelling lovingly upon every word, "when rou and I, having lost ourselves In th. forest, came upon a young gentleman, who, in the most courtly manner possible, conducted us back to the seminary? He naked our name.; you drew me toward you as if to protect me from hi. admiring giunce, ana repnea wuu tremendous dig nity, 'We think yon for your courtesy, sir, and wish you good-by. But it seem ed to me thnt you were too reserved, so I replied, 'I am Lady Constance Howarth, hud then after a very few words we dis rovered that we were cousins. After that, J met him in secret every day, then you discovered this and lectured me; after, ward, at your express entreaty, I wrote to grandma, telling her that I had met my cousin, that I loved him very dearly, and that he loved me." "And on receipt of that letter ahe came ver and took you from the school?" "Yes; but when we had been three dayi In London, Frank appeared and asked me to be hi. wife. Ob, the scenes which fol lowed! Grandma wa. pitiless to n. both. First aha refused to listen to him; then ahe bade me .wear that I would never Me him again. But I conld not do it. I had learned to love him too well. All that ia passed," concluded the girl. "I am now engaged to Frank with grandma', consent, ao for the future all will b. well." "W will hope so, dear," said her friend, as aha kissed her tenderly. CHAPTER IV. For three day. after the' return of the family to Avondale Castle nothing of any moment occurred; life went on evenly tnd pleasantly enough to the young, while . burden of sorrow seemed to fall upon the shoulder, of one woman alone th mistress of the house. Since her return to Avondale Castle lira. Meason bad been a changed wsman; from no apparent cause her strength gave way; she spent moat of ber time in her room alone, dispensing even with the so ciety of Mi. Greybrook. "Leave me to myself," she said, wear ly, to Constance; "if I husband my itrength now, I shall be the better able to entertain my guests." "Constance," said Alice one, morning, 'I am going back to France." "Alice!" "Your grandmother does not requir ne; in n few days the house will be full, mid uiy presence can be easily dispensed with. There is an opening in the convent for a nursing sister; I am going to take it!" "And you can sacrifice yourself so! Oh, Aliire. it is dreadful, and if yon wiuhed four life might be a happy one!" "And will it -not be happy?" returnee, the girl, "is it not the life I have longed for. to minister to the sick, to soothe the orrowful, to give help to the needy? Donstnuce, dear, I want you to promise me liefore I go that if ever you are in trou ble or )n need of help you will seek it at my hands? You saw awhile ago thnt I was sad. I was; but it was on your ac count; not mine. "On uiy account?" "Yes; there is some trouble in store fo. ion. I know it, for I have had such a itrange dream! It haunts me, and all lay I hear a voice whispering in my ear. 'Save her! save her! " Her face wns growing deathly pale, aun ihe trembled violently. She pressed her thin white hands upon her eyes, as if tf ihut out some terrible vision. As Coustance turned to answer her .'riend she was amazed to see that Alice was as pale as death; her eyes were fixed. sot upon Constance, but beyond her, and Constance, turning quickly, started and turned pale, too. Close to them stood a short, powerfully railt man, with a awarthy skin, piercing alack eyes and bushy eyebrowa. His fig- are, though powerful, was elegant, aud his Ireas that of a gentleman. He stood smlllna, hts eye. fined with aa admiring look upon Constance. 1 fear, nwlsm, I have alarmed yea, km ..id. sneaking with a strong foreign accent and removing hie hat.

On her return to the castle ' she was informed by the footman that her grandmother wished to are her ia the drawing room; ahe went and found I Mrs. Meason entertaining none other than I the Duke d'Axxeano.

This visit to the Castle was the prelude ! to manT others. During the few day. ' which followed the duke found aeveral opportunltie. of presenting himself at Avondale Castle. Its doors were thrown open to him. Ha was glad. Whenever he entered those doors he wa. pretty ure to find Mmsell ! xmer or later in the company of Lady 1 Constance. (To be continued.) Think of the Future. Despite all that baa been urged in be half of sensible forest supervision In this country, the ruthless destruction goea on almost unabated. Only about a quarter of the timber cut year by year haa Its place supplied by new growth. t this rate la to continue it is easy to lee bow short a time will elapse be fore the land is bare and the streams dried up. Mr. Fernow. chief of the Forestry Division of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, estimates the value of our timber land at a thousand millions of dollars. Surely this la a property worth caring for. Two plans for helping to put things on a sound basis have lately been pro posed. Mr. Fernow advocates a law establishing an American college of forestry. Irofeasor Sargent of Harvard sug gests the establishment of a chair of forestry at West Point with the view of ultimately using the army tn part to preserve the forests. Perhaps both Ideas might be carried out independently with good results. Certainly all possible educational means should be used to place our people on a level as tn Information with those of France and Germany. Forest fires alone are said to destroy zen million dollars' worth of timber annually. Intelligent forest wardens could prevent much of this. Waste the greedy cutting of large and small trees at one sweep destroys more than fires. If we are to have any forests left at all. the United States Government and the several States must push vigorous ly the policy of founding and maintain ing forest preserves. Large Knoogh. A foot traveler through one of the nllly regions of Ireland came one day upon a curious little cabin, so small as to seem hardly large enough for a hu man habitation. While she was whim sically considering as to whether it might not be the abode of the famous "good people," about whom so many loving superstitions cling, the figure of a short, stout old man emerged from the cabin, and stood confronting her to smiling silence. After salutations had been exchanged ihe traveler laughingly told the old man that she had half-fancied his dwelling the home of fairies. - "No, lndade, ma'am, but It's a good warm place, God bless It," replied the olu man. "But surely you cannot stand up la it?" said the traveler, curiously. "An fwhat nade to shtaud. ma'am?" returned the owner of the tiny house. "Shure, an' Ol can come outside to do that same, an' whin Oi'm Insoide. it's mesilf that can either go to bed or ait down, ma'am!" There was such warmth In the smile with which this cheerfnl philosophy was propounded that the traveler was not disposed to pick flaws In it, and amtled acceptance of its truth.

My grandmother prayed her chil , dren into th. kingdom of Christ, and her ' grandchildren, and I hope all her great ' grandchildren, for God remembers a prayer seventy-live years old as though it wert only a minute old, and so she brought her three Into the kingdom of God and had more than 100 to spasa. Besides that, through the telephone and the telegraph, this whole world, within a tew years, will be brought Within oompass of ten minutes. Besides that, omnipotence, omnipresenoe and omnis etenoe are presiding in this matter ot th world's betterment, and takes the question ot the world's salvation out of the Impossi bilities into the possibilities, and then out ot the possibilities into the probabilities, and then out of the probabilities Into the-oertain-ties. The building of the Union Pacific Railroad from ooean to ocean was a greatei undertaking than the girdling of the earth with the Gospel, for one enterprise depended upon the human arm, while the other do pearls upon nlmightinees.

"But," you say, "this is pleasant to think of for others, but before tbaj time I shall have passed up into another existenoe and I ihall get no advantage from that new ap pointment." Ab you have only driven me to the other more exciting and transporting consideration, and that is that Christ is go ing to divide up heaven In the same way. There are old estates In the eelestial world that have been in the possession of the In habitants for thousands ot yean, and they shall remain as they are. There ore old famtly mansions in heaven filled with whole generations ot kindred, and they shall neve be driven out. Many of the victors from earth havo already got their palaoes, and they are pointed out to those newly arrived. 3oon after our getting there we will ask to be shown the apostolic residences, and ask where does Paul live and John, and shown the patriarchal residences, and shall say, "Where does Abraham live or Jacob?" and shown the martyr residences and say, "Where does John Hnss live and Ridley?" the chariots ot conquerors roll.

But brilliant as the sunset and like the leaves for number are the cell stfal hornet yet to be awarded when Christ toyou and millions of others shall divide the spoil. What do you want there?

It Ilaa Long Been Held la Hl-Reputat an. m Indicating Villainy. For centuries the popular notlona throughout Europe associated hair of this unlucky color with villainy, nn trut worthiness and deceit. In Henry Hotel's "Collection of Proverbs," pub lished in 1512, occurs the following: "Proud arc the short, untrustworthy the red-haired." An old French proverb, which Is known to be over five hundred years old, says: "Salute a red-haired man or a ticarded woman at thirty feet off with three stones in thy fists to de fend thee if need be." In very early times all pictures of Judas, Christ's betrayer, were shown with great shocks of red hair falling down welf on the shoulders. This and the fact that the Judaa in the Miracle Plays' was provided with a red hirsute worked the superstitious people of the middle ages np to suoh a degree that It was actually unsafe for a red-haired person to appear In company, beelng that things were coming to a serious pass, writers of all classes began to rebuke and de nounce "the senseless prejudice against those of lively colored hair." Cyrano de Itergerac, In his "States and Kmplres of the Sun," boldly praised and glorified the despised color in the following words: A brave head, covered with red hair, is nothing else but the sun In the midst of his rays, yet many speak ill of It because few have the honor o Ve sa" Theadjective, "Judas-colored hair," anl many similar allusions are often met with In writiogs of the older authors. In "As You Like It," Rosalind says of Orlando, "Ills very hair Is of that dissembling color," to which Cell a replies, "Something browner than Judas'." lryden in writing of Jacob Ton- son, a publisher whom he thoroughly despised, says: He ha. leering looks, bull-faced aad freok led fair. Two left legs aad Judas-colored hair. Hundreds of other citations to this popular prejudice could be given, but the above are sufficient to prove that the red-haired person's position was nt an enviable one in the years gone by, Republic r ii j EXTRACTS FROM HER IART.
