I had my liands full of drawing materials, but I received the letter, and continued on my way to Mrs. Maltbjr-s .dressiug-room. The drawings were little studies I had made while down at the sea side, where I had spent my vaca tion, made for Mrs. Maltby?to whom 1 had been companion for a ^'ear?and Mrs. Maltby had been; interested in them, saying, "Touch them ujp a bit, Violet, and I will, f get a portfolio for fhem and keep them." I usually sat with her in c her dressing-room through the c mornings, and thither I now re paired to touch up the drawings, ( while she sat with her slippered ? feet on the fender, embroidering wTth purple and crimson wools. 5 I gave her the letter, and went to i a low seat in the deep bay-wiijdow. 1 I sharpened a pencil, and t)ien hap- \ pened4? .gilanoe toB'.and my com panion. 1 Her face was ashy white. Her \ profile was tuxiaed toward me. In 1 its regularity and pallor it looked \ like a face cut in stone. But I had 1 never seen it look so sharp and r deathly. t The letter was clutched in liar \ hand. I had broughted liar bad 1 news. f I was shocked but silent. 1 trieel to remember what I knew of Tier g family relations. Slie was a hand some black-haired woman of iifty, ] who had been early widowed, and c returned to her father's house. ^ Her parents were dead. ' Iler \ mothex had died in her infancy, and she had been the mistress of RecHaurn ever since. It was not j long, however, since her father's ( decease. She had never had a "i child. She had no brothers or 6is- j ters whom I had ever heard of* I could not surmise wbat had hap pened. < I saw her burn the letter, and 1 then she rose and left the room. j Afterward I guessed whom that 3 corrrmumcafian <was from. ^ A week passed. They were quiet and comfortable, but rather t monotonous weeks at lledburn. \ But, though young, I was less rest loaa tlmn Tnnst. crirlfl. T was not 1111- t happy "vvitli Mrs. Maltbv. Only t sometimes I wished for" a little i change. \ It came?a most startling episode. g We had company to diuner? g Mrs. Maltby's lawyer and personal i friend, from New York. I was ( dressing her hair, as I sometimes j did, for she liked my arrangements, } pronouncing them artistic. S.ud- ] denly, without a knock or a -warn- < ing, the door was flung open, and a young man walked in. < I felt Mrs. Maltby start -under ] my hands, i mysdi' was frighten ed, the intruder looked so hold and ] reckless. \ ITa wjir vnrv handsome, hut lie looked to mc to have been travel- | ing long, or to have come out of ( some revel. Ilis linen was soiled, ( his long, clustering hair .unbruslied, ] his eyes bloodshot, yet his appear- } ance was singularly attractive. I had never before seen so !high- \ bred and graceful a man. > ] Mrs. Sff altby did not speak to ( him. He seated himself before ?; and not far from her, however. "Go 011, Violet," she snid. "Certainly. Let the young lady proceed with her task," ho said quickly. "What I have to say need not interfere with her employment, i wadeoMjtand that sihe is your com panion and confidant, though I have not had the pleasure of meet ing her before/' The last sentence appeared to Jiave been $uite mechanically spo ken, for he had fixed his eyes fierce fly upon Mrs. Maltby's face,, and seemed to see only her. I went 011 pinning up the braids of her hair as I had been bid, but my hands trefnbled. I could not see her face but I think she met that iook stead ily. "You refused ;me," 'he said, in a far different tone from that in which he had at first spoken, lo,\v and concentrated. * "Certainly," she answered. "Do you want my blood upon your head?-' he exclaimed. "I washed my hands clear of you long ago," she answered, compos edly. , "Long ago," he repeated, and a wave of emotion that was iiiexpli 1 cable to me, went over his face. 'Then he was silent. I don't know ivhy. but from that moment I jpil ted him. He got up and commenced walk ng .the floor. , "I tell yon, Winfred, I mue lave this money," he said. " inust have it to-night, to-night," h 'epeated. Mrs. MaJtby was silent, laught a glimpse of her face. Flin xas not harder. "Let me have it, "WTufred," h jaid, pausing before her, "and promise you &at it shall be th ast time." She made no reply. "The last time. I mean, "Win xed." His voice faltered4 Slie did nc $p0&lc. "Will you ?" "No," she replied, with no cmc ;ion whatever. His face liad been working wit jome strong deep feeling. Bu ;hat monosyllable seemed to strik aim like a blow. lie stood look ng at her, his face still aud despei ite. rlul nnt think God could mak uich a woman -as you are," he sail it last. I felt lier shrink beneath the a< :nal horror with which he seeme :o regard her. But she spoke wit maltered composure. "I told you more than a year age hat I should pay no more debts c pours, contracted at faro, or i: )ther way," she said. "I meant il pou know that I w>eant it. I hav jiven you fair warning. I sha.1 lot change." He did not speak; his "head wa Irooped upon his breast, he wa ieathly pale. "I have done my duty by you 3uy?you know that 1 have," sh "Yes, you have heeii just?boa rou have never been merciful," h eplied. "Oh,Gpd! He flung uj lis arms with a latter cry tha vTung my heart. I looked at her. She did not ? ent or go to him.' He had Hon, limself into a chair, and with hi lead dropped and his arms folder ipon the back, was tbe -most feepc ess figure I had ever seen. Sh ose, for I had finished her hair, an< ook a seat near the fire. Her lip vere gray, as 11 sue were com, uu l'er-face was still as inflexible a lint. He gave a groan, and started uj uddenly. "I am going," he said. "I? Ie met her'eye, and asked: "Wh; lid yon net kill me ? I was altc jetlier in your hands once. "*Yoi tilled her, you will rememher.

Of all that I thought and felt, ] >f course, said notuing. me uiai cr was no affair of mine. I ha< lot understood it. Mrs. Maltb vould make me feel it.

"What a presence of mind equal my own, he put the roll of bills ] had been searching for into the fc of his waistcoat, and with a glittc in<r eye, regarded me epeculativel I was petite, and I had not screai ed.

"B.ut I watched you in your sleep, a moment ago, debating whether il was necessary to kill you or not.'* "You must have been glad to find that it was not necessary," I said. He looked more astonished than before, but I did not stop to think of that. "Put the money back," I said. "Xo," he said, firmly. "I wil murder you first." 1 "Do not do that," said I. "I an: your friend. I was sorry for yot ' -that day. He did not speak but a troubles , lo?k disturbed the pale fixedness o: his face. "How much money have yoi there?" I asked. "One hundred dollars.""

After &n hour or two, close the blinds and doors, or otherwise darken the rooms; except, of course, the one in which you are at work.

Another ad vantage is, that at five o'clock on a coolish morning, the flies will be found by hundreds, asleep on these "roosts," which may bo taken down carefully and transferred to the fire, which will mercifully consume, without awaken ot in" them. *, JSJUttAra. .Queen Victoria gave EMKe <jrpai4 : ler portrait aet id precious stones.
