I MUST summarize as briefly as possible the evonts that took nlaoe the week following Lola's flight, not because I And them lacking in interest?for indeed those wore the happiest days I had over spent?but becauso the lonpthv description would unduly retard the progress of the history I nave set myself to narrate. On the morning of tho 15th search was made for Lola. 8he was not in the house. A little after midday ens of the keepers, sent out to explore tho Abbey woods and' park, reported thet he bod seen the fugitive in the ur plantation, about halt a mile iroin we ADDoy. ai mgni 01 mm ine had "scuttled" away like a young deer, but he. obedient to orders, had not pursued her. "It's the smoll of thu pines as drawed her there." said the Judge; "she was born amongst 'cm. she has lived amongst 'em. and ene loves 'em more than laces and satins, and plctors. and alck like; and it's more nnt'ral for the little cuss to sleep on the brown needles than in feathers. There's no tamln' her. It's lnstlnc', end, like foul weods in a fair pasture, durn her. there's no gettin' it out of her. Leave her alone, sir. And sho'll come in when she's hungry, and then I will lam her the iniquity of ongratitude!" In the afternoon wo wont in a break t to Southampton, driving slowly through the ? woods, with tho possibility of being soon by Lola, who would certainly then nnvefol*. lowed us. but we saw nothing of her. At Southampton we bought decent clothes, and spent some time in the hair-dresser's. I 1 hud iny board shaved off; and we returned to the Abbey, very much altered for the batter in apfioaranco. -oXlss Laseellos was mdfh distressed about Lola, who was still absent. Brace's explanation of her JeavinaJthe Abbey seemed "ft ^^ ^ lllln^H snehua given hor. wu.s to mo a mvsTS" tery. to Miss LnscolUs also I believe, and a very painful one. Bhe see mod to feel herself In some inscrutable way responsible for the girl's action. ' Sir Edmund returned In the evening from London. "Now. Indeed, you look yourself?a gentleman." he said. shaking my band oorJIally. He had mado Inquiries respecting a lapidary, and learned that tho most export known to the trade was a man named Carvalho. then occupied At Madrid. With our sanction he wroto at onoe offering this man his own terms, to come to the Abboy and _ cut the Great Hefner. jf At night, tho door by which I.ola was nup posod to have escaped from the Abbey was left open, and a night light was placed in her bedroom. The noxt morning the dairy-maid said that some one had boen at her milk pans in the night; there was 110 other evidence of Lola having entered the house. After breakfast I determined to go through tho woods myself in search of her. Miss Lascellcs wished to Accompany me. I ought to have pointed out to hor that her company lessened the chAnoes of Lola suffering me to approach her. but I could not deprive ' myself the pi .Misure of having suoh a sweet oompanion. We saw Lola at the edge of a clearing on the hill-side. She watched us WA <1 raw hilar T nuHn/l Kam K..? shook her heart. und. turning her back upon hh, quickly disappeared among tho pines. The forlorn condition of the girl; her gestures. which seemed full of sadness; the silent fall of loaves; the triatness of the autumn woods, overcame Miss I,ascel lea; .and as sho walked silently beside mo. with her head bent, 1 saw shu was crying. This episode made a deep impression upon me; et. while niv heart ached with sympathy for the poor little savage wandering alone in thoso silent, still woods, an Indescribable happiness stolo over my aonsos. It war the , awakening of love, Hfr Edmund had n basket of food placed in the dairy, and tho doors again loft open. On the l'th wo learned that some bread and fruit had been taken from the dairy in tho night. Htr Edmund and I through the woods; we eaw . Lola.

How often do we find wide circle* of friends linked together In thin way! I thought tliat Mis* Lascellea. wn grO:itly pleased with th? discovery of the distant relationT' ship existing between us; we see mod lens remote from each other. r During our absence Mlsa Lnscelles had devoted herself e ltlrelv to Van Hoeek: her I sympathy had a remarkable effect upon this stranger man. When I took him up to his room to drese for dinner, be asked me to Open the window and plaoe him where he might feel the air. He eat before the open window; the setting sun wie reflected upon -v;V v.Wk^MW ' BlfWhtures. 'HI# nwWw alW?d, his brows creased toxether. his lips parted. showing his teeth closely set. the whole expression of his face Indicating extreme dread; then tbo muscles relaxed, for a moment his cadaverous checks were tinged with color, tho eyes closed, nnd the lips trembled as if In ecstasy. Again his lids roso. and tho lock ofdrend returned to his face. He shrunk back in his chair, and blinked his eyes although struggling to give thorn light; then suddenly ho tlung his arms out wildly, and with a smothered cry of lmnotont rage buried his face In his hands, nts loDg. thin ttngors pressing the throbbing veins which stood out knotted and hard upon his temples. "What Is tho matter, old man?" I asked, putting my hand on his shoulder. He started, and answered Impatiently: ? "Nothing, nothing?a dream!" And then he Rskc 1 savagely: "Who watches you In the night?" "This is not the night." I replied, fancying he was yet but hslt swake. "Isn't It?" he asked, turning his ores from one side to the other; then stretohing out his hands, as if to heaven, ho c.ied: "Then what is the night?" r.oor wretch, all was indeed night to hiin. I tried to engage -hUtt-ln. convemtio*.tort he waved his hand Impatiently, nnfl gutting' up. felt hie way to the wash-stand. "Go down." he said; "Miss Lascelles is more pleasing to the eyo than I am; she must be beautiful, for her voice is music, her touch Is liko tho petal of a rose. Whero do you keep tho diamond?Is It safo?" I told hfm that I now kept It in a belt buckled to my waist. "Strap it to your wrist again; it is safer." he said; and then bending his head uslde. be listened attentively for a moment and continued, iu a lower voice: "They aro talking together down thore. Creep down and listen. I tell you we aro not safo here? I see that through ray blindness. I have faculties in place of that I have lost. Do yon hear them? Come closer. Thornu; there is a conspiracy In this house?a plot to rob us of our treasure, and turn us beggars again upon tho street. If I could trust you I'd tell you more. But every pne is a thief who has the power to steal. It was not the flrBt Ume I had heard him talk In this vein. At Natal, on the ship, ho had boen in constant dread of being robbed.

In returning we mot a friend of Sir Ed?1 round's; he accepted tlio Invitatioft t? take lunch at the Abbey, and rode beside tho baronet ahead of lis. Wo two took the hill ao slowlv that, coming to the cross-roads, we could not see Sir Edmund and his friend. Tbers were two ways to the Abbey. After a little deliberation. Miss Lascollsa laughingly consented to tnko the longer one. The morning was superb; tho woods wore glorious. The rich, warm tints of tho reddening foliage were reflected on my beautiful companion's cheek; her eyes seemed to catch tho glitter of tho dew that still hung on tho goseumois. I forget what wo talked about, but she was fall of mirth, and now and then tho still woods rang with tho musical cadence of her laugh. But suddenly the smile dlod from her face, and she said: "We fo~get poor little Lolajfct And thon. as if the words ifad conjured up b*r presence, the girl appeared. Bwiftly speeding between the red boles of the fir trees. Wo stopped, and 1 called: "Lola, dear, come and SDe&k to me.'" She stood still, and looked as if irresolute whether or not to respond to my appeal. "I will tay here. Go to her." said Miss Lascelleo. softly. Ilut, as If she had divined my Intention. Lola shook her head mournfully, as sho hod dono before, and going her way was presently hid by tho tall brake. As we crossed the opening where wo had previI ously seen her. I looked back, and perceived her standing in the same place casing aftor us. It was eusy to conoolvo ner misery, and tho bitter feelings of her heart. She was unattu ed.butl was no longer the rough toller, grateful for a tin of water fotehed from tho stream. AH thut was past. I was no longer her companion. I should never, never more share her hard fare, and look to her to lessen the hardships of existence. On the 19th we went again into the woods, but on foot. Miss Luscellcs and I. straying thither without purpose from the garden where wq met. We came to a stream bridged by a single plank supported in the middle. There had been a ban 1-rall. but it had fallen cftray In decay. I gave her my hand, the-Skr of faiUog made her clasp my fingers lightly.

I lost my head completely. I kept her hand in mine, and when she trlod to withdraw it. I forced it to my lips, and pressed n kiss upon it. The color left her cheek, and in a tono of reproaoh she exclaimed: "Oh. Mr. Thorno!" and I was a?hamed. We walked home, and were very silent on the wav. I sought Kir Edmund at once, and, finding him alone. told him that I wished to muke his daughter my wife. He was thunderstruck hy.this sudden and unoxpocted announcement. "I love your daughter." I said, "and I c innot stay in this house keeping my passion a secret." "Well." said he. with rather rueful plensnntry. "you have lost no time. Mr. Thome; but it would have been a poor compliment to my daughter had you railed to porcolve her charms." "I should be dull, indeed, had she failed to impress me." I replied.

And, taking her hand, ho contlnuod: "Mr. Thorue wishes you to be his wife;.is that your wiah also?" She buried hor burning faco in her father's shoulder; she could neither say yes nor no. "It is a question that should not be decided hastily," the baronet continued; "take time, my dear. Meanwhile, I see no reason for your leaving the house," he added, addressing me. "lTr! ices?" I faltered. 'Unlos* Edith wishes It." the baronet sa'd. helping me out. "True. Shall you feel more at ease, dear, if Mr. Thome goes away?for a certain time, say?

THE DRUNKARD'S WIFE. A New York correspondent of tlie CincinDAti Knquirer says: l^ast week I quoted a narrative ;iven to ma by Dr. WilJinni P. Wrig'..t, of our city hospital service; and now I have a good temperance one from his lips. "I knew a man," he said, "who was a civil j engineer by profession, born in Gcneva.Switi zerland, and a graduate of the Polytechnic I Behool at Zurich, llis wife belonged to a wealthy family in the Canton of Schwyts, one of the oldest families in the oldest canton of Switzerland. In opposition to the wishes oT her people they had been married, ~ and she had accompanied bhu to this country, . where ho had been successful from the first, through tbe introduction of friends and his tuno ho waa ^ ; gentleman" His wife was young, refined and* | beautiful. It was but little more than a year . I later that the ambulance surgeon came to. 1 1 my room about 6 o'clock in the morning to * report a caso he had just brought to the hospital. A woman had been shot in a Bow ery concert hall. Her wound was in the ? 1 neck, ft was nothing serious, and the patient would require no further attention r until morning, ho said. I therefore re ; newed my sleep, ami did not see the patient 3 until I made my rounds of the wards t the following day. As I drew back the curtains of her couch 1 noticed her , ! gaudy clothing in the chair by the bedside, e ; where it hud been left by the nurse. I hardi* ' 'y glancOT at her fuye as I removed the I dressings from her throat and examined the : wound. It was a slight alTair, the bullet * 1 having caused a mere llesh wound of no ~m i great importance. I told the nurse what ; dressing to apply, and gave instruction to '. 1 have the patient moved to another ward. As J ; Mio nurse loft me to carry out niv instructions, and as I turned to leave, ihc young \ woman spoke to me. "You do not recognize , mo, doctor?'' I said I had no recollection of ever having seen her before. "And yet you have," she answered. "Only a a year ago I came here to find my husband in t a bed in this same room." ,j I looked at her more closely, and recalled ^ her at once, though she had changed greatly* 0 She still had tho same wealth of hair, white , her eyes were as beautiful as ever; but her p faco was pinched, and in place of the proud j expression it had worn when 1 had seen hof ? last was one of anxiety ami trouble. "Yoil are crcatlv snrnrised to sec me tin. t ! der such circumstances, are you not?" she j added, as I stood looking at lior. wondering ! what strange freak of fortune had placed licr there "lam, indeed," I answered. She hid her face in the blanket and sobbed " like a child. I tried to quiet her, and, tak* ! ing a seat by the bedside, said all that I [i could to remove the feeling of shame from which 1 thought she was suffering. U , "No, doctor, you are mistaken," sho said. Interrupting me and looking up at nie. "I ,t have nothing to bo ash a mod of but my love j for my hushand. I am sorry to have you know what I must teil you." She then ine j formed mo how misfortune had followed j them from the day her husband had met .. j w ith his injuries. He had lost the position 1. ! ho held at the lime. His friends had failed 1 him, and disappointment after disappoiut? j ment had attended bis efforts to obtain ' 1 work. And then ho lmd begun to drink heavily. They were obliged to leave their pleasant homo and part with nearly every r. thing of value which they possessed. tilio had r3 tried to earn money in various ways. She ,,j had obtained a few young girls as pupils, and j. ; taught thorn French, t?erman and music. But she could not earn enough in this way to . support herself and husband in the homo i sho felt slie must have. So, in desperation, sho had accepted the offer of tiie proprietor ? of the concert hall where she had been in" jurod, and sang there every evening. Tha salary she received, with the money she j" earned as toaolier, had enabled them to live ' comfortably, but she regarded her work in y the concert hall as humiliating, although ( she was required to sing but a few things ? each night. She arrived at midnight, and at U ; 1 o'clo-jk her duties were finished and she ; went home with her husband. The night bc1 fore, as she was leaving the hall, a man had * j insnite.l her, and when she repulsed him he ^ had shot her and made his escape. She had hardly finished her story when her husband came into the ward. Certainly he had changed much more than his wife. Dur? ing my attendance upon her I tried to inflnonce the husband to stronger and better \ l" efforts than he had made. I found he had '? I become entirely dependent upon his wife,and ,'0 i seemed to regard all attempts on his part to work as needless. One morning when I called .. J she met me with a frightened face, her eyes swollen and red with weeping. He had returned the night before more intoxicated * than she had ever seen him, ragged and ^ dirty I found him sleeping on a lounge. As 1 stood looking down upon him, half m tiity and half in disgust, for he seemed more ?east than man, lie suddenly awoke, and, ^ j springing to his feet, stood glaring at me 'P ' with the wild expression of n maniac. I saw w | that. I had a case of delirium tremens on my ,l i hands. I spoke to him. but he would not anu j swer. I saw his hands working in a nervous r- manner, and a certain wicked gleam in his n i eyes assured me that I was in for a fight with le a madman. I had passed through many ,r such exjierienees, and, therefore, did not 1 shrink from this. '? I I watched his every movement, telling his "J , wife to leave the room and call an officer if j one was to bo found. Hardly had she de | parted when, with a yell I shall never lorget, '** | ne sprang at me, and before I could defend JJ J myself in any way, I was thrown to the floor, sa and his hands were tightening their grasp on 2" my throat in a manner for from pleasant, crrasplnff both of ht? wrists tightly, and e?TKMrXRiNCK KIWS AND NOTFS.
