Ho t iul.l walk i iiiititleiitly throughout the great house, ami. observing the readi ness of his movements, it was some j times linjMissible to realize that he was Mind lie en me forward without hesi tation and took Helena's right hand, which he raised to his lips. She had shifted the envelope to her left hand, and she must have put some pressure upon It, for the liein.v seal of wax fell tii the floor It may have I teen dis lodged by contact with the rough cover of tli. voluni. which Helena also held. The blind man, seeking both his wife's hands, felt the book and asked what It was. Heitiß informed, he seemed pleas- i etl, rVe'i quite deeply touched. '!" i i was an interval of silence, and then -ir Frederick, conscious of 11 ii I - lam's presence, turned his mind upon the business of the day. "Is there any word from the French men?" lit l asked. "I fancied that 1 heard you speak of I t'Fplnay." '1 have a message from the embas sy," said Helena, and at that Sir Fred erick stood back from the door, inclin ing his head with homage lit to touch , one's heart as the dainty rustling of his wife's garments and the faint, exqui- i site fragrance of her hair passed before him through the dark "Let's begin with monsieur I'iunbas sadeiir," said Sir Frederick. "I think his communication cannot be of much Importance a nicety of diplomatic cva- , sion, I've no doubt." "Invasion!" echoed Helena softly. "The easy refuge of dishonesty." He inclined his head, smiling, and then: "Head it, dearest," he said. Helena drew forth the contents of the envelope, consisting of the usual fine parchment paper sheet and one small slip adhering so gently to the other that it could be pulled away and i leave no perceptible mark. Then she began to read the ambassador's note, omitting not a syllable of the fantastic courtesies of diplomacy, ami so onto the body of the document, wherein the Writer begged to reply to the lllo.st highly valued communication, etc., and did reply, with nothing in particular very finely expressed. "Is that :.llasked Sir Frederick. "Well, we could have written it our selves, couldn't we?" Was It pos Ihit* that the clock which ticked so loudly was a very small one at the far end of this long room? Why did Helena hear Funice's voice so plainly in the anteroom? She could not remember ever before to have heard articulate words through that heavy door, jet there was no Indication that Fuiilee was speaking loudly. It must be that there was a peculiar quality of stillness at the moment. "I wish to see my brother directly he Is at liberty," said I'unice. Helena looked at her husband keenly. It is hard to read a face w hen the eyes are covered, yet Helena was as sure as of her own existence that Sir Frederick suspected nothing, that he never would know that his question—"ls that all?" — , had been a mere form of won Is. What is a vow? To the superstitious it may be much to F mice, perhaps, a compelling force having its spring In selfishness and fear. I tilt when one !s free from all that? Why act against one's own Inter* -ts without a motive,' without a reward? It was ,» moment when the forces at war within her hit ived themselves sharply upon opposite sidt s. She had wished to live, really to live. She had i covet in! tier youth and the natural re wards of her beauty. She had wished | for eyes that could see her, for living j admiration, not mere memory. Her husband's hopeless a miction had weighed upon her intolerably. She had felt a panic terror of it, an almost un controllable desire for llight. It had Seemed to her In certain hours of re bellion that her lialr was whitening in a dungeon. Vet till she had craved was a very little life, a lueatli of freedom, a momentary total contrast. She had met a young, handsome, ar dent man. He Posses-cd certain sharp ly attractive qualities, and her imagina tion had endowed him with many oth ers. To this latter fact she had never been blind. M. d'Eplnay was merely a personification <>f her frenzied protest ugainst destiny. She had permitted ' herself in regard to him a certain men tal Indulgence, never passing beyond the -In of wishing to enjoy his homage, which In some mysti rlous way seemed to unite her to her youth. If was all a matter of a few weeks; ull Intangible, without definite value. And now for this vain dream she must lose her most precious realities, her husband's perfect trust, her own part In his brave and useful work, for he would never trust her again. She looked at him, and suddenly her heart returned to its allegiance. In that mo ment she prized him dearly. ITe was all that he had ever been to her. i And there was no real need to lose j his love and his respect. Why keep a | promise at so great expense? To his question "Is tliiit nil?" she an ! swer "Yes," and that would be the end. Itut she would ha v. sold herself. "No," she said steadily, "it is not all. There is more." "More?" he queried, surprised. "What I shall read," she continued, "Is from M. d'Hpinay under the same cover, and therefore yotus. Listen." .so Helena read, knowing little more than he of what the words would he, surprised and angry at the banality and insolence of it. Thus: "I must see you. You have dented me the light of your countenance In these hist few days, but I am strong In hope. This afternoon at Lady Mar vin's we shall have ten minutes, per haps more, if the fates are kind. You will not fall me. I send this by our private post, uniquely safe." Helena looked up, having reached the end. "There Is no more," she said. "Ab surd and common! I have given him j no right" Sir Frederick raised his hand. "I am quite content." he said simply. Hut she would not be restrained. She told her story with such exactitude as she h id shown In reading the empty phrases of diplomatic correspondence. And when thus told M d'Fplnny's j lovcmaklng was much like one of thoso communications, containing nothing of Importance except tic v-iied revcln w • inten tions. "As to thl- message," she concluded, "he told me that he should address me thus, and I did not forbid It with sin cerity That is the truth, and 1 merit your contempt. He sa 1• 1 there would be a mark upon the envelope, and If It should come I thought to salve my con science by removing the message before you liould bid me read; evasion, the 'msv refute of dishonesty." "Fpon this book." said Sir Frederick, raising it toward his lips, "you made an earlier vow to me. <!od knows that no man ever felt more safe. Yet never In my most exalted rapture of confi dence have I been so blessed by utter and perfect security as at this moment. I have seen your soul." "I seemed to be growing old," said i Helen i, trembling. "We were so much shut In I was afraid." I"The little girl looks out iqioii the crow d In th • sin et ami fancies that slio t Is running away." said le- "Then she returns with contrition for a sin of dls- j "I MVSI' SITAK TO von," SHi: WUIKI'ERED. obedience which she has not commit* ted." "1 love you," answered Helena. "No I one else is anything to me." He laid his hand upon his forehead ; with a peculiar gesture. "Do you know what they have told me this morning?" he said. "They j have promised me that I shall seo again. I hardly dared to speak of it, yet I have strong hope, and if it comes true"— "We shall rejoice together," said she, "anil if it does not we shall still re joice." She bent forward to kiss his hand, which lay upon the desk, and he felt her tears. ♦ «*#»** Eunice met him at the angle of the east corridor. She was very pale, and her thin face was draw n hard. "I must speak to you," she whis pered. "Why does she let you wulk like this, alone?" "At my wish," said he. "We nnder . stand each other." "You do not!" she cri I can be silent no longer. M. d'F, may" "Ah, yes," said he,"M. d'Fpinay. lie is a handsome youth; of good family, too, but a rascal." "He sent her a message this morn ing"— "True. She read it to me." "She read it!" "I fear you read it lirst." said he gravely. "I heard the seal fall on the floor, and they ore not loosely affixed. It must have been the seal I heard, for I noticed afterward that there was none upon the envelope. Hallain would not have disturbed it. nnd I have learned that it lay upon his desk tome minutes when he was not there, I am sorry." he added, after a brief jiause, "sorry for M. d'Eplnay." "For him!" she cried. "He Is a rascal, as I remarked be fore," said Sir Frederick, "ami rascal ity makes one wretched. I am sorry this morning for every human being who is not happy." He repented the last word, not to ! her, but In a tone of ecstasy. Ills hand rested upon her shoulder for a I moment, and then he strode away along the hall, his head erect, his step I os sure as If God's light were In hi* I eyes once more, as It was In his heart. Pottery nurt XTrpcy. In the royal manufactory of pottery ut Meissen. Saxony , the work was for nierlj carried on with the utmost se erecy to prevent the processes from be coming known elsewhere. The estnb lishment was a complete fortress, the portcullis of which was not raised day or night, no stranger being permitted to enter for any purpose whah it. Every workman, even the eldet in spector, was sworn to silence. This Injunction was formally repeated ev ery month to the superior officers em ployed, while the workmen had con stantly before their eyes in large let ters the warning niott • "He Seen t ' nto Death." It was well known that any person divulging the process would b?» Imprisoned for life In the castle of Ivoenlgsteln Even the king himself when he took strangers of distinction to visit the works was enjoined to se crecy. One of the foremen, however, escaped and assisted in establishing a manufactory in Vienna, from which the secrets spread all over Hernia.iy. Itoyill lilllllbl'TM.

THE JAILER'S DAUGHTER [Original.] Tlio moon looked down on tho little jell n t i,—, in the state of Georgia. There were but two persons on the premises, one n prisoner, the other the Jailer's daughter, aged eighteen. Her father hail been obliged to leave her In charge togo anil attend to business that would not wait Husle Lendbetter had seen the prisoner brought in, a devil may care looking young fellow whose appenran<v had taken her fancy. Now she was wondering what he had been brought there for and what ho was thinking about and whom ho was thinking about. She went to the door of his cell and stood listening. Presently she called softly: "You uns want anything?" "Want anything? Why, yes. It's lonesome In here. I want you to talk to." "What were you putin fo'?" "Shooting. A man called me a liar." "Did you shoot him fo' that?" "Had to. A gentleman can't stand to be called a liar. I say, if you'll un lock the door I'll come out and tell you about it." "No," she said thoughtfully. "I couldn't look pop in the face If I did it ' He'd never trust me ag'ln." Hut she stood with each hand on a j bar of the cell door and listened to his story. When he had llnished she j thought it very unjust that ho should be there for resenting an insult. He had a winning way with him, making ; light of his misfortune, but when he j told her that he fancied some of his enemy's friends might get up a party to come to take him out of the Jail and hang him a serious expression crossed ! his face which was retlected In that of I the young girl. ! Then she went away to sit on the doorstop and think about the prisoner. | Rhe looked out on the moonlight | streaming over the meadow on the : shimmering river beyond, at the queen | of night, and everywhere she saw j those dark eyes, that pleasant smile, and thought what a dreadful thing it would be if a mob should come to hang the handsome prisoner. Presently she saw a dark ilgure emerge from a wood and survey the jail. Then another came out and in a few minutes half a dozen men were , moving stealthily toward her. Her heart stood still. There are faculties that at times seem to be set in motion to act Independent i ly; a sort of hypnotic condition in j which the mind instead of being under the control of another mind is doml- | nated by a force of circumstances. I Susie arose from her seat on the door step, went inside, took from a corner of the room her father's rille and, pull ing a bureau out into the center of tho room, took position behind it. She had barely time to examine the cartridges to see if they were in condition when the advancing men came up to the open door i "What you want?" called a soft voice. "We want that murderer, Roger I>o Ford." "You can't have him!" "We'll see about that." i The man took a step forward. "Stop tliar! If you come a step fu'ther I'll shoot you!" "Conio out of that, Hill," called a voice from behind. "She's goin' to shoot; I kin tell by her voice. Women's | wo'se 'n men when they git the devil in 'em. There's been one of us killed today. We don't want no mo' killln'." The man in advance drew back and there was a consultation. The Jail was not easily entered except at this one opening and the problem was a puzzle. Togo in by the door they must shoot nt random, and If they hit any one It would be a girl. Hut the most effective argument was that the enemy, being in shadow, could pick off one or more of those out in the moonlight. The situa tion was not inviting. After a pro longed discussion several who favored avoiding anj shedding of blood except that of the prisoner prevailed and it was decided to give the matter up. They turned and went away. Susie watched them till they passed into the wood from which she had seen them come; then her old self resumed control. She did not faint, but she dropped to the tloor and leaned for support against the bureau. She was revived by the prisoner's "Hello!" Ulslug She went to the cell door. Roger I>e Ford had heard the demand made for him and tlx- refusal. He was a brave man, but it takes more than a brave man to hear without Quailing a mob calling for his life The pris oner had only recovered from his ter ror when he called for Susie, and was still trembling when she came, but the Fight of her brought baek his youthful sang froid. "Come, let me out of this. You're the girl for me. We'll run away from here and not come back till this has blown over." "I couldn't." "Not if you knew they'd come back again with a big crowd, make a ram of a telegraph pole, batter down the j door and"— Before he could finish the key was turned In the lock and in another mo ment the two were speeding over the moonlit meadow. Though the man was ileelng for his life, it was the girl who In her heart experienced ft wild gladness. She had met and loved mid saved the life of her lover ail within a few hours. , Half a dozen years later, when, at the close of the war, the Confederate Colonel Roger I)e Ford returned to his native town, his "shooting" was for given If not forgotten, while In the ; new south his wife, the jailer's duugh tor, was not refused admittance among h'T husband's friends, as sho would . fcttvc been under the old regime.

A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER OUTINf: The Steamer "Cape May" Carries Thousands to the Ocean—Cool Cape Hay Attracts Those Who Want to Enjoy a Delightful 200=Mile Sail Down the Delaware River and Bay—Points of Interest Along the Route. "Off to Cool Cape May!" That's tho hot-weather cry of thousands who every summer take a day off and aboard tho magnificent and commodious excursion Steamer "Cape May" journey down the historic Delaware River and Bay to the Grand At -1 lantic, where they disport themselves for several hours in the billows that ! roll upon the finest beach in the world, or they divide the time inspecting j various places of interest before the Steamer starts homeward. This trip to Cape May has become famous. The Steamer "Cape May' j is the only steamer out of Philadelphia that makes daily trips to ilio ocean, returning early each evening. The "Cape May' is a luxuriously appointed boat. The owners have provided for every comfort and convenience of tho passengers There are steamer chairs and comfortable couches on tho i main deck, and a number of staterooms for those who want to enjoy com fortable repose during periods of the trip The officers and attaches are • thoroughly experienced and seek to give tho passengers all attention to as sure a pleasant trip, free from any annoyance whatever. No disorder is permitted on the steamer. Ladies unattended and < hi! clren are especially looked after, so that they may feel assured of a de ; lightful outing. How the little ones enjoy these trips to Cape May! They never for i get it. The roomy decks form one vast play-ground. Then there aro | games and innocent amusements especially provided for them There is an excellent orchestra aboard, and at times during the day and evening tho ' young people gather on the main deck aft and enjoy a lively waltz or two step, while their elders look on and recall the days when they w< te youn-t and enjoyed the merry dance. On Sundays sacred concerts are given by the orchestra. A FLOATING HOTEL. The Steamer "Cape May" is really a modern hotel afloat. The appoint ments already referred to are equal to those of the first-class hotels But j the "Cape May," like best hotels ashore, provides sumptuously for the "in ner man." The palatial dining room below decks Is provided with a num ber of small tables presided over by competent waiters. The Steward and caterers in charge know their business, as all attest who have partaken of : an appetizing breakfast served as the steamer starts on the trip, or a full ; course dinner served from 11.10 A. M.to 1 P. M. The suppers, especially the fish suppers, on the return trip are famous. Then, too. there are lunch i counters at convenient places on the boat; also, oyster bars and ice cream parlors. Only tho best of edibles and delicacies are served nt very mod i crate cost To feed the "Cape May's" passengers requires supplies of meats, fruits, vegetables, fish and oysters in Immense quantities. Often there are 2r,.>0 people aboard—and the stirring breezes and invigorating salt air certainly are appetite producers. The supplies for the dining room and lunch count ers are taken aboard each morning and the perishable fruits and provisions ore stored in mammoth refrigerators in order that they may be served in tho very best condition. New Jersey and Pennsylvania farms and dairies furnish the very best fruits and vegetables and purest and richest milk and cream. Cape May oyster b;ds are drawn on for finest oysters. In summer time, the Cape May Falts are the epicurean's delight. Fish, fresh daily from the ocean, aro taken aboard nt the Cape May Steamboat Landing. Few people stop to consider the immense quantities of supplies, involv ing a large expenditure of money, that arc required to feed such a great throng of people as patronize the "Cape May' day after day. No city hotel feeds so many people in a single day DOWN THE RIVER AND DAY. The "Capo May" covers 200 miles every day.
