A ClIAnEKXlX. the iiam> ok katk An impulse of sympathy had led ^^'.fessioa to call upon the widow on this ''' afternoon; sho was taking the loig walk there from her home when 1 Jelmont met her. Whil&she had not the slightest affection tor Edgar Van Wyck, the new.; of his Hiiddcn death lind shocked her, as it did a 1 who had known him. Ihit it awakened no emotion in her breast besides that of pity for his mother, whom she hail met twice since her hand bad been promised to the son. That afternoon Tom lfryson did not go to his work. Ho It his pipe after dinner, and sat down to smoke in silence. up now?" "I am going over to see Mrs. Van Wyck." "Oh, aye?the mother of that voung fool who died the other day." She made no reply to his brutal re mark. "I was willing you should marry li:m, Jess," lio said. "Don't know bat I wanted you to. 15ut it's just as well as it is. He was a poor kind of a stick. What do you thii.k about it, anyway?" Her lips were silent, her tad eyes made him uneasy. "O, well, if you don't want to talk about him, never mind. Only," and his voice grew hoarse, "don't you dare to have any love-nonsense with that aristocrat, Randall Relmont! 1 hate him!?1 hale the name! do you hear? If I catch liiin here with you, I'll knock his brains out with the ax!" She left liiin growling over his pipe, and went on hot* way to Mrs. Van Wvck's. All that we have seen of this girl hu9 shown us that obedience to her father, consideration for his wishos, was her law in life; hem o, it will not seem strange, after this tirade, that she hastened past Randall Hchuont on the way. Airs. Van Wyck answered her knock at the cottage, and foil back with a little cry of surprise and pain as she yV^ecogni/.cd her. ^^^ HYou, Miss Rryson?is it you? O, i v-_.. * i uui yuii tuuif r ii?u uki not lovo "J^^^Sioor boy; I saw it, but ho would iiiv'boliovo it; ami by-aiul-by, when ho came to understand it, lie went heart-broken, and died. O, why did you come?'( i Tho scene in tho wood was not then known to .lessiea. any more than to the widow. The latter had taken it for grunted, from the few words uttered Kdgar before lie died, that ho had PKQBuarreled and parted witii (ho girl. ' * Jessica could not midccoivo hor, because she had no suspicion of the truth nor of the widow's belief. Mildly reproaching In r visitor, as we have told, Mrs. YanWyck led her into tho cottage. Then, seeing tho misery and compassion on (lie beautiful face before her, she threw her arms about her neck, and sobbed upon her shoulder. Very sadly and tenderly, then, did ^ Jessica console the poor mother, and justify herself "I did not love him; 1 never pretended to," she said, "i ut my father asked, almost commanded me, and I yielded. 1 Mull 1.1 till v., .I. 1. ? .. ...???

I pity you, from the bottom of m.v weary heart; and oh, give mo your pity, too, for I am very wretched It was not in (lie kind, motherly aoul to resist such an appeal as this. Kho took the girl to her heart; she kissed her, she smooth d her hair, and declared that she would always love her as a daughter. Tho long shadows were falling across the road as Jessica again passed over if. As sho reached a clump of treos, a man emerged from if, leading a horse. She quickened her pace, but in a 1110*ment he overtook her. "Why do you avoid and turn away \from me?" he a<kcd. "Leave me don't follow mo!" she answered. "It is for your own good." She averted her face; still lie hastened along bv her s:do, with his arm through tho rein, striving to take her I hand and calling her endearing names. eJhe answered not. He ponred oat hi8 long'ng heart to her; ho besought her to spoak to hitn. She looked not, Hpo. e not?uutil, iu despair, he led his horse right before her uud blocked her way. A faint rod spot was in lior eheck. "Have I not told you that it is impossible?" she demanded. "It shall be |>oss bio!" ho cried. She trembled as his deep, rosouant voice pronounced the words; at tho strong purpose that looked from his eyes. "Has there eomo no change with tho death of Edgar Van Wyck?" he asked. "Docs not that froe you from your promise?" She shook her head. "Why?" he impationtly cried. "Why is it? You give mo no reason." "But this after noon," alio replied, with an unsteady voieo, " ni.v father told .mo that you should uover enter his house again: he_c\fig ax if h"<o found you there. Knowing thin, will you still distress mo by coining?" "Will you still obey such a father?" "Ho is my father. When I was a mere child 1 promised my dying mother i that I would always l?o faithful to him. ! It is this that controls me. I cannot ! disobey him." "Jo you tlmu bid mo stay away from you?" "Yes." The word was spoken low, but dis' tinct. "Your wish is mv law; I obey. But I from your words, from your looks, from all you do and say, I know you lovo me. Th ugh 1 am barred awav from you for the present., yet I know it will not bo for loug. I know it! ] feel it! .lessen, there is late in it; w cannot be separated!

The bridle was Hung away; his arm clasped her unresisting; nga:n uui again he kissed her yielding lips. Tearing himself at last from tho de lirious embrace, he mounted and too! the road to Aylcsworth. With wildly healing heart did .Tea sica return lo the old house. He! father was not the re. She vought tho solitude of her owi room; she threw herself upon he: knees by the bed, and prayers luinglec with sobs. "O mother in heaven," she oftenes prayed, "guide ami direct me! It wa: to you 1 made the promise; make im faithful to duty and to you!"

Hour after hour he sat idly upon the trunk of a fallen tree, trying to answer these questions; night aftei niglit did he return home undecided As lie became absorbed in thesi thoughts lie grow harsher and sternei in his treatment of th ? onlv being win still clung to him, and da. 1 >y day wa tho harden of that patient soul in , creased. \l I...?

Hut lie bad boon awav at least some hours of each tlav since, .less ea passed much of her t me in her room, upstairs. Suppose that some prowlei h :d discovered the prize, and robber the robber? These torturing fears became at last intolerable. On the night of tho third i ~( ^ I day after the separate' viajjtp of his : daughter and bandall Belmont to Mrs. I Van Wyck, lie determined to have an | end of them. He would satisfy-him' hoH by ocular iuspeotion that the treasj uro was safe. j He sat moodily by the window, after ! suppor, repulsing every attention of his j daughter, impatiently waiting for the silont hours of tho night, that ho might oxecute hip purpose. The hours passed slowly. Near ten o'clock, Jessica took a candle to go to her lonely room. She hesitated, with her hand upon the latch. Did some premonition of the events that uight hideous in her memory then assail her? Do cotuiug events thus cast thoir shadows before? "Good-night, father," alio said. "Good-night." Five minutes later he looked up, and saw her still btundiug there. " W lu?fcd'vo v.'anfc arlvl? ' L?o crowled. "Jess clou't be a fool!'' Tho door closed betweon them.

I Then ho unlocked tho closet door, ! pulled out tho monov, and counted it j all o\&r. It required a.i hour to do it; but it i was all snvo?twonty-live thousand dolj lars. lie stuffed it back into the little i compartment, and relocked it. \Vhat rostless lioud then led tho man down into tho collar, to look around, and bo sure that nothing appeared there that might betray him? 1 No man can know; not even the tormented criminal himself could, have ' told. socre1. He peered into oyery 900k and corner of the cellar. He he. ? the can, die down to tho bare ground, and tc I the stones, us if ho ovpected to see the dead hand of Mason Belmont thrust ouf. j lie gave himself up to the delirium that the scene and the hour wrought in . his bra;n. r "it is mine, I say ?mine; rightfully mine!" ho shriekeJ. Tho dead walls , of tho cellar gave back tho echoes. r "He was my enemy; ho ruined me j when ho might have savod mo. I had j my revengo; his treasure became mine, t, It's only a fraction o his wealth; I wish 3 it was more. Hut 1 had my revenge ? g and the money is ail mino!"

A Terrible Accident. at the llrlil.TC at I.onlsvllle?'Without WnrnliiK the Workmen aro Mangled to Heath or Drowned. The most appalling accident known toKentucky in ninny years occurred at Louis ville. It was nearly ??ino for work to 6toj all orer the city, and workingmen were expected homo by their families, when tho report spread rapidly that there was a wreck or crash of somo kind at the now bridg< under construction between Louisville auc JelTersonviUe. It wm first reDorted that a span of tlx bridge had fallen and a gang of men hat Iwftta v.frj- Ar,*Ci WVH tAtYM< ..V 'iM-ffPSl.?, and the workmen employed in it had beer crushed to death by stone and timbers. The caisson, known as No. 1, wasnb-mt lO yards from th> Kentucky 6hore. As tin workmen of tho pumping station wore look inj for the men in the caisson to put off it their boats, leaving work for the night, tlit*j suddenly saw tho low, dark structure dis-ip p-^ar in dashine, white waves, and hoard, be fore they could realise what had happened the roar of the furious maelstrom. A runner was despatched to the lifo-snvlnf station, and throe skiffs were marine 1 aire pulle I to the scene of the wreck. Word wai sent to the police station, and a f quad wai at one ordered to Ore ground, to aid in th work of recovery. The coroner was called and went with a corpi of physicians. The site of the bridge is at the upper em' of the citv, just below Tow Head Island Within an hour from tho disap|>earanco ol tho caisson, three thousand people wore 01 the shore straining their eyes in trying tf see something of the wreckage. Dozens ol bo its wore plying alout over the spot where the caisson had stood, and lights danced t? nnd fro with thom i-tout there was no trace o the massive structnro cf stone hud timbei which had kept off tho' bungr^4*erHJ< promise any hope to the anguished, Stristm mothers nnd wives who stood indite throni i on the shore. The water rolled sullenly bu smoothly down from tho cofferdam aliov the pumping barge below where the caissoi 1 had stood. It was soon known that onl four of I ho eighteen men who woro at worl at that time had escaped. The Inst man out of tho calson whs Frnnl Haddox- IIo was barely saved by Murray who dragged him from where lie was e mail waist deep in the quicksand. Taylor says h 6tood nearest the iron l.addo- bv which thci got in and out of the caisson. He heard i rumbling, nnd there was a rush of nirnlmos at tho same instant. He jumped upon tin ! rungs of the ladder, followed by the oth?i men. They had hardly get clear of tho caissoi when the water hurst tlirough tho mnnholi in a surge, knocking them all into the river where they were picko.l up. Haddox says It 1 saw Ham Morris, who was cl tnliing nox below himself, swiftly drawn under by tli , sand and heard his cries for help hut couli do nothing. | The caisson is not wrecked, as at first sup posed, but has settled down in the bed of tli ?*'<? ?. xoinulaUly tilled with imuiI air wnter. There seems nh?so'ntely no hope fc anv of those c night within the caissin. John Knox, the gain; boss, took charge c the work Monday. The men who escape say he had thetn dig too deep before lettin the caisson settle, and the digging was to close to the shoe of the caisson. Just hcfor the accident Knox gave 6ome order t Robert Baldwin, the keeper in charge of tli upper door to the exit. Baldwin then opene this door, and the compressed air, wliic kept out the river, rushed out, letting in tli stream. The men say tliej* were working in an ugl quicksand at tho time.
