All tlint day Constance kept to her
room. The duke was amazed at this, and
lata In the afternoon presented himself
In bia wife's boudoir. After all, fortune
favored hlin; Alice was there alone.
"Where is the duchess. Miss Grey,
brook?" be asked quietly.
"She is in the adjoining room," return
ed Alice, uneasily, "and I I think she is
asleep. Shall I call her?"
"No," returned the duke, "it Is to yon
I wish to speak. Yon know, Miss Grey,
brook, in what high esteem I hold you."
"Your grace, I "
"I should never have left my wife
alone," lie continued, "above all in Lon

held in his band and revealed a hand,

gift toward the girl. She hesitated.
"For me, my lord?"
Tray take It," said the duke.
' She held forth ber baud, then with a
shudder attempted to draw it away.
"No, no; I am not worthy," she cried.
"My lord, what are you doing what do
you want?"
"I want'the truth," retnrned the duke.
who had seired her hand, and was looking
almost fiercely into her face. "Miss Grey
brook, tell me the name of the man who
met the duchess at the ball last night"
With a cry which was half a moan,
Alice shrunk away.
"If I speak," she mnrranred to herself,
"she is lost; if I lie, I lose my soul. Father
In heaven," she cried aloud, "what shall I

The interruption was so sudden and

duke dropped ihe girl's hand, turned
In the direction whence the voice had
proceeded, and saw Constance. She was
Very pnle, but quite composed.
The duke's face was Mack as night.
"Then, madam," he said, "you have;
met that man again?"
"Yes," returned Constance, quietly. "I
bave met my cousin again, and you might
have learned the truth without putting
Alice to the torture."
"Whom else could I question?" said ths.
duke, sternly.
"Me!" returned Constance, proudly.
"No one knows better than yon, my lord,
my frankness and my sincerity. Listen,
my lord. I will give you a further proof
of my candor; take me away from Kng
land, for, although duty reigns suprems
in my heart, the love within it can never
die. Io not expose me to temptation; do
not compel me to pass through fire, lest
at last my spirit fails. But take me
away."
The duke drew himself up proudly. "It
is impossible!" he said.
"Remember," cried Constance, "it is for
your sake I plead. I am your wife; there
is peril here for both of us. Will yoo
takenie away?"
At that moment a servnnt entered wits
a message from Feveral.
"I will come to him," said the duke,
and with a low bow to his wife and her
friend he left the room.
"Alice," cried Constance, "you see now
that what I told you was right. ThU
Mr. Keveral, who calls himself the duke's
secretary, Is the duke's spy. I am cer
tain now it was he who told the duke of
my first meeting with Frank; ho has

tare. Well, i know him now, and in fu.
ture I shall lie upon my guard."
There was a hurried knock at the door.
"Come in," cried Constance, and th
door opened admitting Feveral.
At sight of him Constance seemed to
turn to stone, but he came hurriedly and
anxiously forward.
"Madam," he said eagerly, "I musi
speak to you."
"I will not listen to you," she cried;
"leave me, sir, for I know yon; you tried
at first to corrupt me by sending me anon
ymous letters wnruing uie against the
duke. I have cheated you this time. I
myself have told the duke the truth. Now,
sir, go; and do not dare ever again to
enter my apartments."
"Madam!" cried Feveral, who bad been
Utterly taken aback by this unexpected
attack; "let me speak; as you love your
life, I conjure you to listen."
Without another word she summoned
her maid, and when-the girl appeared she
aid very quietly:
"Show Mr. Feveral down.
CnAPTEU XIX.
For several days Constance, nnder the
pretense of illness, kept to her own apart
ments, but one evening both Constance
and her friend presented themselves at
dinner. Alice, who had dreaded the meet
ing between husband and wife, was some
what relieved when she saw the duke walk
forward and courteously take his wife's
hand. "There were several guests pres
ent, nnd Constance welcomed them all.
The dinner passed off well so well. In

you will preside equally well at the re

"The reception, my lord?" asked Con-

-Assuredly," returned the duke. "0
Tuesday evening next you give a gruaa
reception; the cards have all been Issued,
everything is prepared, and for yourself,
I particularly wish you to look your best
bat night"
The days passed on, and the eventful
Tuesday arrived. The reception was to
commence at half-past nine o'clock, and
When the clocks were striking nine Con
stance and Alice eat alone in the duchess
boudoir. The house was brilliantly illu-
Mnated, and the great drawing room was
tiled wKb cftoice sowers. .ava. von-
stance and Alice were dressed for the oc
casion. Then Constance's maid entered the
room with a letter, which she handed to
her mistress.
Constance took the letter, opened and
fead It, then she looked up into the won
taring eyes of her friend.
"A letter from the duke; he "has gone
way I"
"Gone away P exclaimed Alice.
"Yes. Listen, dear; this Is what he
ays: 1 am summoned at once to Paris
to meet the Spanish Embassador. I am
taking Palmatos and Feveral wlrh me. I
have made Palmatos communicate with
all our guests and put off our reception of
thiir evening. What can It mean, Alice 7"
"I don't know, dear; itt that all ho says'"
"No, there is more," replied Constance,
and lifting the letter again, she continued:
'For yourself, let me beg you not to spend
the evening at home, but to go to Lady
Mortimer's ball. I hare asked Lady Sea
field to call for you. Therefore rest
quietly at home nnfil she comes.' "
"Oh, Constance; what shall you do?"
cried the girl in terror.
"Dor returned Constance, with a look
f fixed resolve. "I Khali obey the duke's
command to the letter. At last be has
honored me with bis confidence, and I
hall not betray It."
The first thing to be done was to have
the lights extinguished and stay all pre
parations for the reception. This Con
stance proceeded to do. When the ser
vants, having received their instructions,
bad retired, she sat down and looked
again at the duke's letter.
"Constance," said Alice, eagerly, "do
ron really mean to go to Lady Mortimer'
ball?"
"Certainly, my dear, since the duke
wishes it"
"But do not be angry with me should
four cousin be there?"
I'o not fear for me, Alice," said Con-
Kance, stroking the girl's brown hair.
"To-night, remember, I am the representa
tive of my husband, and I will try to do
Mm some slight service. I am going to the
kali for my husband's sake, at bis wish.
It Is strange Lady Seofield does not
tome, she added, "it Is getting so late.
lAlice, dear, will you send one of the ser-
rants to inquire for Lady Seafield? Per
haps she would rather have me call for
ier."
Alice nodded, and went at once to do
is her friend wished, while Constance
lank down into a chair In-side the win
low, and remained looking out upon the
tioonlit park. She fell Into a reverie, from
hlch she was aroused by the reappcar-
fnce of her friend. Alice looked paler
han usual, and her manner was full of
tear.
"Well, dear, have you sent to Lady
reaheld 7"
"No. I took the carriage and went my-
"Tent yourself! Why did you da
fliatr
"I was terrified lest something should
go wrong; I am glad that I went; the
countess is in deep trouble; her father
has fallen suddenly and dangerously ill!
She was never asked to come for you ; sho
has received no invitation to the ball!
Constance, everything has been done to
keep you at home to-night. I see it all now;
you would have waited and waited for the
countess and never gone forth at nil
there is danger for you here, 1 am sure
of it: I now implore you to go!
To go!" said Constance, "but who will
take me? I cannot go alone? Ah, I hare
It, Monsieur de Santa Fe! He is the
nuke's oldest and nearest relation. Send
o him, dear, at once.
"I will not send; I will take the carriage
nd go myself."
"Wry well, dear. I will remain quietly
here until you return.
But she was by no means composed.
The moment she was alone she walked
excitedly up and down the room; wonder
ing whether or not Alice's suspicions
could be correct. Could H be possible that
the duke had deceived her and if so.
for what motive?
"It will be always the same, she cried,
"suspected, watched, mistrusted. Oh,
who will deliver me from this life of mis
ery and degradation"
With a sob she threw herself down op
en the couch and covered her face with
ber hands; at that moment the door of
her boudoir opened, and the footman an
nounced
The Earl of Harrington!"

Stance rose and looked toward the door.
It was no dream, no delusion; there stood

They will both be here directly, but I will

She looked at him, but he did not an
swer her. His face was ghastly pale; he
pressed his hand against his side and
seemed about to faint.
What is the matter?" cried Constance
in alarm; "Frank, are you ill?"
Yea, I am a little faint," he gasped;

"Alone?"
"Yea; I shall slip In unannounced, and
no one will know I went without an es

the duke's commands."
"Don't speak of that man. Constance,"
Frank cried, "unless you want to drive
me to distraction. Ahl I see, yonr love

It is largely the same with the

utter recklessness of soldiers on the

and Surgical Journal says:
During the season in which the
pame of foot-ball is played in England,
the record of accidents more or le9
serious is practically continuous.
During the food-ball season of 1891-92
there died through accidents received
on the field no fewer than eleven
players, while more than seventy
others received injuries, mostly
the shape of fractures, which would
entail on them weeks of buffering and
incariacitv for work."
While it is true that the game ol
foot-ball played In American colleges

in England, yet the tendency to vio

that it ought to be checked. l outb'i

it has been found In various parts of

but up to the present time no Ameri
can deposit of amber extensive enough
to be of commercial value has been
discovered. Quite recently, however,
amber has been found at Cape Sable,
oq the Magothy River, In Maryland,
and this arouses the hope that it may
yet be discovered in paying quantities
in this country. The deposit at Cape
Sable has been known since 1821, but
only lately has a careful investigation
of It been made. The fossil tree
trunks In, which bits of amber are em
bedded are not, like those of toe Baltic
region, pines, but are believed by their
discoverer, Mr. Arthur Bibblns, to be
specimens of the sequoia.

Francis waa at the mercy of this pe

partially dismasted ber, a disaster
which has been before reported.
Two etowawaya, William H. Beatty
and Stephen Munday, who had trav
eled almost all the way around the
globe without the expenditure of a
cent, were brought on the Francis from
Fassaroean, Java. They were former
ly members of the crew of the British
steamship Bio, which arrived at Java
some time before the Franc-la left there
for Philadelphia. In some way they
were left behind by the IUo, and then
they stowed away in the coalroom of
the Frauds, where fuel Is kept for the

were discovered several days after the
Francis left rassaroean, and there was
no alternative but to bring them along
on the long voyage, which lasted 1-1
days. '
An examination mado by the Immi

tmrninir as tt were a lamb, and It fell upon
tho third part of the rivers, and upon the
fountnins of water, and tho una of the
star is oailod Wormwood. " Revelation viiL,
10,11. i
Hnnv (niSann. like Patrick and
nwth, Thomas ovott, Matthew Henry and
Albert llarnos aarree In saying that tbe stas
Wormwood, mentioned in Hevelatlon, was
Attlla. king of the Huns. He was so called
because be was brillinnt as a star. and. like
Wormwood, he embittered everything he
toucneii. we bave studied the btar ol
Bethlehem, and tbe Hornlnir Btar of the
Revelation, and the Btar of Peaoa, but my
present subject calls ns to gaze at the star
Wormwood, and mv theme micht be called
Brilliant Bitterness.
A more extraordinary character bfstorv
does not furnish than this man thus refarred
to, Attlla, tbe kins of the Huns. One day a
wonnded heifer came llmnlna alons throuirb
the Holds, and a herdsman followed its'
niondy track oa tbe grass to see where tbe
heifer was wounded, and went on back fur-'
thr and further, until be earn to a sword,
fast In the earth, the point downward, as
though is had dropped from the heavens and
atratnsi ;ne eages oi tnis swora tne neiier
bad been ent. The herdsman trailed no that
sword and presented It to Attlla. Attlla said
ine sw-ra must nave oroppea rrcm tne
heavens bora the grasp of the god Mare and
its being given to him meant that Atitla
should conquer and govern tbe whole earth.
Other mighty men have been delighted at
being called liberators, or the merciful or tbe
Rood, but Attlla sailed himself, and demand
ed that others call him tbe Scourge of God.
At the head cf 700,000 troops, mounted on
Cappadooian hoisos. he swept everything
iroin ine Adriatic to toe mack tjea. He put
his iron heel on Macedonia and Greece and
Thrace. Ho made Milan and Pavla and
Padua and Verona bog for mroy, which he
bestowed not. The Bysantlne castles, to
nieet his roinons levy, put up at auction
ma nivo silver tables and vases of solid gold.
A city captured by him, the inhabitants
were brought out nnd divided into three
classes the first clans, those who could bear
arms, who must Immediately enlist under
Attila or be butchered; the second class, the
beautiful women, who were madoeantlves to
the lluus: the third class, the aged men and!
women, who wore robbed ol everything and
let go back to thecity to pay heavy tax. !
It was a common saying that the grass'
never grew again where the hoof of Attlla's
horse had trod. His armies reddened the
wattm of the Seine, and the Mosello, and the
Ithlue with carnage and fought on the Cata-i
Ionian plains the fiercest battle since the
world stood 800.000 d ad left on the field !
On and on until those who could not oppose
him with arms lay prostrate on their faces ln
prayer, and, a cloud of dust seen In the disH
lance, a blHbop crlvd, "It is the aid of Qod!",
and all tne people took up tne cry, "It Is Ine
aid of (lod 1 As the cloud of dust was blown!
aside the banners ot re-enforcing armies
mari'hed In to help against Attila, thei
Scourge of Ood. The most unimportant oc-i
enrrences he used as a supernatural re
source, and after three months or tatlure to
capture tbw city of Aquileia. and his army
had given up the siege the flight of a storki
and ber young from the tower ol the city,
was taken bv him as a sign that ho was to
en pi ore the city, and his army, inspired byj
the same occurrence, resumed the siege audi
took the walls at a point from which tha
stork had emerged. Ho brilliant was th9
conqueror in attire that his enemies could
not took ft him, but shaded their eyes or
turned tileir heads.
Slain on the evening of his marriage by his
bride, lliliro, who was hired for the assas
sination, his followers bewailed him, not
with tears, but with blood, cutting them
selves with knives and laaoea. He was put
into three eofllns, the flmt of iron, the second
of silver and the third of gold. He was buried
by night, and Into his grave were poured.the
most valuable coin ana precious stones,
amounting to the wealth of a kingdom. Tbe
gravedlggers and all those who assisted at
the burial were massacred, so that it would
never be known where so muoh wealth was
entombed. Tbe Boman empire conquered
the world, but Attlla conquered the Human,
empire. He was right In calling himself a
scourge, but Instead of being the Scourge of
Uod ne was tne scourge oi neiu jieoause oi
his brilliance and Ititternoss the commenta
tors were right in believing him to be the
star Wormwood. As the regions he devas
tated were parts most opulent with foun
tains and streams and rivers, you see how
graphic is this reference In Kevelatlon:,
There tell a great star irom neaven. nam
ing as it were a tamp, and It fell npon the
third pnrt of tbe rivers and upon the foun
tains of waters, and tne name oi ine star is
called Wormwood."
Have you ever thought how many lmbit-
tered lives there are all about ns, misanthro-,
pie. morbid, acrid, saturnlni 7 ine Euro
pean plant from which wormwood Is ex
tracted, Artemisia absinthium, is a perennial
pi nt. nnd all the year round it is ready to
exude its oil. And in many human lives
there is a perennial distillation of acrid ex
periences, lea, mere are some wnose wnoie
work is to shed a baleful influence on others.
There are Attllas of the home, or Attllas ot
the social clrele, or Attllas of the church, or
Attilas of thn slate, nnd one-third ol the
waters nt all the world, li not tw.i-tninis tne
waters, are poisoned by the falling of the
star Wormwood. It Is not complimentary to
human nature that most men, as soon as
they get greater power, become overbearing.
The more power men bave the better if their
power be used lor good, ine leBS power
men have the better if they nse it for evil.
