" ' ?n *n upper room furnished with tight or ten sewing machines there sat ?s many girls at work. The room was svell ventilated nnd warmed; the girl* looked contented; there was no talking, - but every girl sat over her sewing ma chine and guided thc work, while thc needle jumped up and down in that most surprising and wonderful Instru ment. In a smaller room at the back ? forcwomniv was at work. Downstairs there was a show room, ?Quite an humble kind of show room, in which one or two mora sewing ma chines were at work. And at the back of this was u small office or sitting room in which there were two ladies conversing. One of them was thc lady who ran the concern. It was. con ducted on co-operative principles, svhich Is the reason why it has siuce been closed, because, of all things In this world, there is nothing more difficult than to persuade people to buy things at co-operative productive ?tores? that is to say, where the pro ducers sell 1 heii things without the medium of boss, chief, bourgeois, or master. This particular attempt was just then in the stage when a little feeble t'ubiic interest in It had been excited by superhuman efforts of its friends, ?nd success seemed possible, though Hherc were many anxieties. The two ladies in the office were discussing these anxieties and possibilities. One of them, the manager of the concern, ?i lady no longer young, had spent Iiei whole life among the working* Jromen. "My dear," she said lo the younger lady? it was the same young lady who bad caught Kutherine on tbo bench as ?he was falling forward? "J really do think we bavp made a move." ?????? * The Above star* represent quite a fong conversation about linen gar ment#, ,and orders, and expenaei, aud receipts, from the co-opera tive point of view deeply interesting. "And how do you get on with your bands?" "There is the usual percentage of ?tupld girls, lazy girls, and Incompe tent girls. I know exactly what to expect. The most satisfactory of all Is the girl you brought to me? Katha rine." i "What is her fun name?" 1 "I do not know? I have not yet asked her. She is quick to learn, obe dient, and ladylike." "Yes. She is lady-like, poor tiling! IVrhaps she was formerly a lady's maid." "Poor thing!" the other echoed. "Without friend* ami relations. Left to die. Oh. what a fate! What a punishment!" "Yet her face is full of innocence ? ml purity. C'au such a face lie?" ?'She said that she had no friends and no relations. What can that mtnn?" "Let us go upstairs and see her." They went upstairs where Katharine aat at work before a sewing machine, quiet and industrious. She looked up and smiled a* the ladies entered the room. The look, the smile, the very carriage of her head, were altogether different from the manner in which tiie other girls greeted the chief. These girls were all what we call decent and respectable; some of tliein were come ly; some were even pretty, as London work girls very often arc, pctites, with narrow, sloping shoulders, small far?e, nnd large eyes; some were coun try bred, and showed it In their figures and the ample width of their shoul ders; some had the manners of the shop; some of the factory; some, of the I.ondon back street; some, of the slum; some, of the farm; some, of the servants' hail; none of them had the manner* which were shown by so simple n thing as Katharine's smile when she lifted her head. She suffered no ionger; she knew not, and hud not the least. suspicion, of the dreadful things that were thought and said about her by the ladles yes, the very ladies? who had. befriend; ed her. She was in a haven of rest She learned readily how to use the sewing machine; she even took some kind of Interest in the work; she ?nt steadily working all day; she gained ? sufficient weekly wage; and she had ? room in a decent house recommended liy the lady who ran the co-operative business. The young Jady, her rescuer, shook hands with her, though somewhat doubtfully? there are several ways of ?baking bands, as everybody knows, ?ud when a ffuug lady shakes hands With a girl who bas the manners' of a j lady, but has been picked up starring,' 1 and confesses to having no friends and no relations, a certain something? constraint, doubt, condescension, or en couragement? cannot but be remarked In tbe manner of extending or with drawing the band. Chapters? whole essays? great books? might be written on the differences, shades, and grades of shaking hands, from the a Cable greeting of a prince to the cheerful grasp which a work-house chaplain be stows upon his sheen. Katharine, however, noticed nothing unusual in this welsomc. "You" are quite strong and well Again now, are you?" asked the young lidy. ~Qulte, ?hunltiroti.'*^ "Are you still living In the same house?" "Yes," Katliarina replied, without in terest in the matter. "They are quiet people who leave me" alone."; "May I call upon you some day?" "Certainly. Why not?" "It must be on Sunday, after service, f shall not interrupt you then. My * name is Katharine, like yours? Kath arine Willoughby. You will tell me yours, perhaps, -when I jail at your lodging*. I should so much like," she; added, in a lower voice, "to be your : friend, if you will let me." Katharine made no reply. But her eye fell upon the girl's dress. There was a colored scarf round her neck, and a bit of bright color in her hat, and tan-colored gloves. * "I thought," she said, "that you were In deep mourning. Was I dreaming? Sometimes a strange feeling comes over me, as If everything was a dream." "You arc quite right. I was in deep mourning. But. oh. Katharine, 011 the very day thot I found you the most Joyful news that ever reached any girl came to me. It told me that the? the person for whom I mourned was not dead at all, but living, and I put off. my mourning." "Was it your lover?" "Yes, It was my lover. Thank God* he was restored to those Who love him." "Come on Sunday," said Katharine, suddenly interested. "I will tell you of Nil my trouble, if you arc not too happy to hear it." On Sunday morning Miss Willoughby called. But she could not hear the story tbat morning, because tho girl "ay in bed with some kind of fever. Her head and her hands were hot; her words were wandering. She spoke of the fog and of the night, and called upon Tom to come back and help her. But as for her story, she could not tell It, because reason and will and knowl* edge and self-rule bad left her brain, which was tho abode of delirium. They carried her to the hospital for women In the Marylebone Road. There was nothing to show where she came from or who were her friends. In her pocket? girls no longer, except In books, carry treasures in their bosoms? lay tied together a packet of letters. They were from a man who signed himself "Tom"? tout court? nothing but "Tom" ?and addressed her as Katharine. What can he done with "Tom?" This Tom was madly in love with her. He colled her every endearing name thot a fond lovei can invent; he recalled the past days of happiness together; lie looked forward to the future. He was in a railway train; he was on board a ship; he was among soldiers; he spoke of natives; he spoke of Arabs? clearly therefore, s Tom among Egyptians. Probably a Tom who hod been killed. He did not somehow write like an officer; his letters contained 110 news; for that be referred her to the papers. All he had to tell her was that he loved her? he loved her? he loved her ? and was always and forever her Tom. The Sister of the word reod these sacred letters, and placed them, with 0 sigh that so much honest love should be lost, under Katharine's pillow. Time enough to try and find out. If she grew worse, whot had become of this Tom, and who his Katharine really was. She did grow worse, but she hod youth on her side anil a good constltu* tlon, which hod certaluly not been ?polled by luxurious living or the want of exercise. She even lay at tbe polnl of death; bad she died there would have been nothing to establish her Identity but those letters and iier hand kerchief marked "I\. H. C." Then she would have been buried, and Lily's prophecy would have come partly true. "She Is better this morning," mid the Sister. "Her head Is cool. She has been sleeping a long time." "She is more beautiful thon ever In Jier weakness." It was Miss Wlilough by who stood beside the bed with the Sister and the nurse. "Sister, think of it! She told me she was without friends or relations. Is It possible?" "It is certainly not possible," said the Sister. "There Is perfect Innocence In her face and? moro than that? In her I talk. We hear the delirious talk of women whose lives have not been Inno cent, and we learn their past. This girl's mind Is as Innocent as her face. You might make a painting of that, and rail It 'Eve Before the Fall/ or 'Una," or 'Mary, the Sister of Martha.' She may be friendless, but " The Sister shook her head and went away. Miss Willoughby sat by the bedside and waited. "Fo friends and no relations," Hon * ?frl hare neither friends mt relations? Yet to conclude that the Ocaerved to hare none was cruel tnd unjust Miss Wllloughby was ashamed of her hard thoughts. Be aldea abe had heard from the 8lster about those letters. Then KjUhsrinc opened her eyes again, and looked as If she could speak. "?? J?* know me now dear?" asked Miss Wllloughby. "Yes; I know ygu.** "You have been very 111. You nre JtUl weak. You must not talk much. But tell me your nnme." "Katharine Regina." "What?" Miss Wllloughby started. How did you get that name?" "It Is my Christian name." "What is your surname? What was your father's name?" "Wllloughby Capel?** "Wllloughby? Katharine Reglua! It Is rery strange. Have you any rela tions named Wllloughby y? j "I have no relations at all." Then she closed her eyes again. ?I1'""-? her now" wld nurse. ?i?e is weak, and had better rest and go to Rleep again." - Next day Miss Wllloughby railed again, bringing grapes. Every grape upon the bunch was a big tear of re pentance because she had thought so cruelly of her patient. Only the patient never knew. When one goes about a city a great deal and meets with manv experiences, most of them of a trulv dreadful kind, one naturally draws conclusions which would seem to manv ladies most wicked. In the same way .the doctor, when you tell him certain things, at once suspects the very worst. Katharine never knew. She was sitting up In bed, already in a fait way of recovery. * y?" 8troi,? enough to talk to day? asked Miss Wllloughby. "Oh, yes; I can talk to-day. Rut I have only just begun to understand all that you have done for me. I can not thank you yet " ^'Ho not talk of that at all." You must have thought me most un grateful when I was .working at the sewing machine. Rut all that time seems like a dream. I only half remem ber It. You were In mourning first and then you put It off. and you told me something." I was? I was in the very deepest grief as well as the depecst mourning for my lover was said to be dead. Ami now I am in the greatest joy and thankfulness because my lover has been miraculously restored to me. Ought I not to he happy?" I am so glad! My lover loo is dead. But he can never he restored to me." "Your lover, dear? <>h, you had a I?? m' t2?' 01,(1 he TVns ki,,ptl. Hkc mine? it !*??t ? hpr hand and pressed it. I know his nnme, heeau.se the Sis ter read his letters in order to find out who you were. His name was Tom " "Yes, it was Tom. And Tom Is dead." "Will yon tell nie something more about yourself?" s|le nsked. "Not more than you want to tell. I nm not curl. ous. Indeed, hut If I can help you Oh! let me help you, because I met vou on the very day that the telegrnm came which brought my lover baek to life. In the evening, when I went home after I left you-they brought it to me. Uh. my dear? my sister brought It cry k,g8ert me? and my mother kissed me ? nnd tlicy were nil crying, and I knew not why? on the very same day when I found you. Can I ever think of that day without think. Ing of you, too? (Jod has given vou to mo so that I may deal with you as Me has dealt with me. And I can never lot you go away? never, never." Oh!" said Ivatheiine, deeply moved, what can I sny?" "I shall never forget that day. Oh how I rushed to tear off the black things and to- My dear, vou are a pnrt of that day. Now tell me more. You said your name was Katharine Iteginn. Thnt Is my name, too. There Is always a Katharine Regina In the family And I never heard of any other family which had those two u?"(I y?Ur fatl,ei"8 was Wllloughby Capel. It is so very odd, that I have been thinking about It all night. Tell me more, dear. You said you had 110 relations." 1 ik,,ow of "one. My father * ?uld not speak of his relations. I have ? sometimes thought that thev quarrelled with him. Ifc WH? mm, 'T know. In the army with the rank of captain, nnd ho had an annuity or al lowance, but I do not know who paid It, or anything else at all about him." "What a strange story!" "The annuity was not a verv large one. and I had to give lessons. I was governess to a lady?oh, not a ve. v grand per?on-wbo*e husband was a cleMc In the city. I went there every morning at 9, aud came home at 5. Hhe was a good woman and kind to ir.e. I was more a companion and a nursery governess than anything else." "Well, dear?"

As soou .is the echoes of th? tremendous roar had eeasa*". a canon sought by re assuring words to quiet the people, but in vain. Thev fled in all.direc lions and a number of women faint ed. No trace of the perpetrators of the deed has been found. Holy Belies Exposed. Sunday was the anniversary of the , dedication of tbe bascilica to St. Peter and it was beautifully decorat ed Jor the occasion. Holy relics were exposed and a large number of the faithful attended the services. Car dinal Kumpolia, formerly papal sec retary of State, was among those present. He took part in the service iu the choir ehap.l. The last mass had just been concluded when the explosion occurrcd and only <?iie ca non, who had not quite finished, re mained at the alter of Saint l'atron ilia. This altar is at the end of the right aisle, and it was near here that the bomb had been placed. As the canon turned to bless the communi cants there was a tnnendous roar, which echoed through the lotty arches of the immense dome like a thunder clap. Panic Seizes People. At the same time a dense smoke spread throughout this portion of the basilica and a strong odor of gun powder filled the air. Confusion and panic at once seized the people. The canon at the altar tried to stem the tide of fear. He shouted: 4 4 Do not be afraid, it is nothing, merely the noonday gun." His words, however, had little effect. They were refuted by the smoke and the pungent smell r?V |M>wdcr, and tin* people continued their headlong (light. Chairs were overthrown, making the contusion more serious. Men ami women fled, Stumbling in all directions, the screams of children and cries of an guish were heard on all sides, and for a few moments it seeined as if nothing eouhl obviate a grave disas ter. The vast size of the church, however, gave room for the crowd to scatter and nt the end of a few mo ments the people were surging toward the doors, excited and nervous, but orderly. Celebrated Tomb Uninjured. It was discovered that the bomb had been placed under a scaffolding which had been erected to facilitate repairs to the roof exactly over the celebrated tomb of ('lenient XI II, by Canova. which consists of a figure of the Pope and two lions and which is the most remarkable piece of sculp ture in the basilica. This tomb ranks among the finest efforts of modern sculpture, and by its execution Can ova estblished his reputation. An ex amination of the remains of the bootu leads the supposition unless ?t was crudely prepared on purpose to mis lead. that it was manufactured in the country and brought into Home. Tt has been impossible to trace him, and no on? has any recollection of seeing a man who, by his move ments, might have aroused suspicion. Tragedy in Mining Town. Wheeling, W. Va? Special. ?

All through the night different jwsses departed ami up to morning, when the black murderer was captured and kill ed, the ardor of the seareh has never lagged for a minute. Blood hounds were used in the chase, but with little efteet. Different rumors came in dur ing the night as to the whereabouts of the negro. hut it was not until morning that he was posit ively local - cd. The crimes of the negro were the most daring and uncalled for occurr ing in this State in many years. With out the least provocation the negro emerged from a house on Valley street loudly proclaiming himself to be the noted Charlotte desparado, and be gan shooting or. first sight of a man. When an attempt was made to arrest the negro who had already killed two negroes with his rifle and was shoot ing into houses promiscuously, by of ficers, *t took the negro only a few minutes to leave two dead olliccrs and one wounded in his bloody wake, Feeling at Ashevillo, among both blacks and whites has been at fever heat, and the tpiick ending of the ne gro's murderous career was merely the expected result, whenever lie should have been found.
