bert and win ber fdr my own sake? Hero, j
even here^ in the first.flush of my ne w love, !
suspicion of motive must be guarded j
a'Tabi^ ' -. <.. .
So when, at last, I was abbi to tell her I
what name I bore, I charged it, and called ?
myself Mr. Julian Vane. She should, if
she loved me, marry me, thinking she was
marrving one in her own station of Hf e.
Not that ? ber. station was aay thing to be
ashamed: op. So far as I.could gamar, she
wac ore ot the masy whose parents leave
chelr children a slender provision, yet large
?nongh to live upon m respectability and
comfort. Viola, I found, hved in a small 1
bocsa> withs prim cid dame, the pink of j
.dignity andr propriety, and who bad for
it?r?y been tbe girFs schoolmistress; aso'i
tary, ' lonely life it must have been for the 1
g?i : j
I laughed as I thought how; if she love l |
me, I would draw her from .ber. dhU h?rne j
and snow her the great world and the gio- ;
r>e? thereof. ~

lili el y to meet a- any mutual friend's house. ;
1 had no sister, cousin ara?y. one who cou- d }
.lo me a friendly tum in tibe matter. Yet }
every moment of suspense would be an age j
ina?. I must dc something. ;
So.ane^ay I waited until I saw Viola. \
I Y-ve i^liQpuse. I watched' ber tail, grce.- !
ful ?onn pass out of sight, and by a ^ j
e?To?? repressed' my desire tofoilow be.-. \
Then I walked to ber bouse and recrce:ted [
to see Miss Kossiter, the prim old maiden ;
lady aforesaid.
I told ber in plain words the object of mr j
calling, i I spoke frankly of my great love
for ber companion, and I begged that u -
hearer, would aid me. to remove obst&c're?
w!?cS'?t?od* in the' way of " a cl?ser ?iter
conrsa. No doubt, with- a lover's cunrin r,
I rn^de. myself most agreeable to tho anci ni
gentlewoman... Barmission was graciously
accorded me to visit- at the house-?s a
friend.-- v \ .-- ?. T- .
? wanted no more. 1 rose to take my
leave, longing for to-morrow to come, as I
did.sot like to venture two visits on the
first day. -. Just then tba door opened and
Viols appeared.
Jud then Vto&a~dppeartd,
A look of surprise flashed into her face?' ;
surprise, but not displeasure. A faint blush \
crossed her cheek, and these signs told me ?
I should win her.
' Now that my foot was inside the ci! adel,
I went to work fiercely, impetuously, to
gain my d?sira. -The days that followed are
to me too sacred to be described ; but not j
many passed before I knew that Viola's
love was my own..,
We went to the kindly spinster who was
responsible for Viola's safety and told her
tbe glad news. The old lady dropped her
knitting needles and looked bewildered.
"Ob, no, no!" abe cried in horrified i
tones;. ayoa cannot mean it!" ..
Viola's trash and my words showed her '
we were in solemn earnest.
"Oh, dear 1 Oh, deorP sighed Miss Ros?
siter. "What shall I do? You have only
known each other a week !"
"A day would have been long enough on
my parti" I cried, looking rapturously at
my lovely Viola. j

41 never dreamed of auch a thing. In old .
days matters were manage t much more

would be at least three months in making

evidently a brillia? t and clever talker. He
narrated^ in an amusing way, h's ex peri- i

in which, for ..some reason which did not
transpire, he had been staving. Yet at
time 3 I fancied that his merriment was
forced, and again and again X saw his kern

which annoyed ma bey on 3 measure.
"When at ?ast I rose, he followed my I

Bv and bye my companion stopped and
oponed rhe door of a house with a latch
key. He invited me to enter, an 1 showed
rue in to. a roora on tue grouni floor. Once
hi side his oT.-n house hi * manner changed.
He was now aost and I was a guest. He
apologized for the state of confusion which
rained in the rc?ro. He had only re?
turned to h s lodgings yesterday, and had
not yee got things straight. The room, al
thoagh -plainly furnished, showed that its
tenant wa? a man of taste and culture.
Books were scattered broadcast, here, there i
and ever? where: Gm at swept a pib off
the chair which tie effirei me.
"You tmokeir* he said, producing a cigar
case. "1 can give you some brandy and
soda, too."
He opened the cupboard and brought out i
tbe bottles. I declined his proffer^ hospi- i
tality, and awaited his communication. He !
stood with bis harli to the manie!-piece, and j
mechanically fille i a pipe. He did not. j
however, light it; and, although I looked \
as carelessly, as I could ?i another direction, ;
I knew that he was attentively scanning j
my i ace. This scrutiny became unbearable. ;
"You have something to say to me, Mr. j
Grantf" I remarked. I
**Yes. 1 am only considering how to say j
it I am something of a physiognomist, ;
and have been studying your face for my
guidance.1*
I smiled scornfully, but said no mora He
was welcome to look at me ali night if he
chose to do sa Suddenly, in a sharp, ab?
rupt way, he spoke
.'Why are you passing under a false
nameC he asked.
CHAPTER IV.
.* Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceiver'
The attack was so unexpected that I
crimsoned, and for a moment waa speech?
less. I knew that my true motive for tho :
concealment was, in respect to Viola, if sn? :
worthily conceived, at least free from evU.
This thought strengthened me, and I wat
able to face mv in torrogator. Butt, all the !
Rame, it was a great mortification to feel
that in order to explain matters to this man
I must as it wera, lay bare my mest sensi?
tive feelings.
**Yon Know my true namer I askel
r "No, But I have seen you somewhere
Vienna, Paris-I forget where. Tnen you
?were not called Vane."
"My name is Julian Loraina1'
"Julian Loraine," hexepeatsd, musingly.
"1 have heard that name in the world, and j
with little good attached to it But it could 1
aec hare referred to yourself, YjCff ftje too j
-young. -But your reason for the decej
ont Speak I" he said fiercely.
' ' I curbed my rising anger, and, as well i
I could, told him why I bad wooed Viol
under a false name. I think he believe
me, but-1 saw scorn on his face as he li
tened.
"The act of * fool," be said. / "Mr. Loi
aine, such romantic affairs should be left t

-"R would bethe act of a fiend,*' I said,
! He laughed, ' not pleasantly.. "Yes, i

will follow you on your wedding morning
and see with "my own" eyes that you hav<
married Miss' Keith in your right name

from my seat in indignation, "Nb!*.I wil
have no protest You have brought thi
upon yourself. You have given ma th
right to mistrust you." ?
"Will you 'be.good "enough- to show mi
the right by which you interfere at allf
I said.
'.Until her twenty-first birthday I an
Mxss Keith's guardian.'7
"A very young one," I sneered.
'-Yes; but older than you think. He
mother died six years aga I was then 30:
shs thought me old enough to be her child'i
guardian, and I will see. the trust to the
'end," / . .* .*
The meaning thrown into the last sen?
tence did not escape me. Iii implied that he
still viewed me with distrust My anger
was thoroughly aroused.
"Perhaps, Mr. Grant," 4 said, "there is a
nearer and dearer right you wish to exer?
cise over y our ward-one . which She her?
self alone can bestow."
He drew himself up to his full height
.That sir,1'* he- said, calmly, "is ungen?
erous I had boped that my love for Mi.-s
Keith was a matter unknown to ail save
myself I love her as it may be bayoud
your power to love a woman I would lay
down my life for ber .far more easily
than' to-day I lay down my love. Yet I
do -this, and to you, my rival, can say:
Take her, and make her happy-make her
happy.1" -
The repetition of the last three words was
hot-a wish ; it was a command, a threat
Grant was still standing above me, and as
Hooked at bim I saw that his face was pale,
aid> on his forehead were drops o i moisture,
it's appearance almost startled me; but I
said nothing. I. rose and wished him good
iiight; / Somehow, in spite of the di like
with which the man had inspired me, there
was about him a strength and dignity which
ircpressed me more than I cared to own.
He accompanied me to the door. When it
closed, I paused for a moment to light oho
of my own cigars. Then I crossed the
road. As I did so, I glanced back. The
gas was burning in the room which I had
jost left; the blind was drawn up. I saw
Grant enter, tiarow himself into the chair
which I had left vacant stretch his arms
out on. the .table, and lay his . head upon
them, like one in agonies of ?grief. - He was
bewailing the loss of the happiness which I
had won..
I pitied him, but I bated him, it seemed
to me that if this man set his heart upon a
woman's love, sooner or later she must give
i. to him. What would, ic be if now he
: used all bis power to rob me of Viola? I
knew that till the ring wai on her finger I
should have no peace of mini.
The next day, when I pai5 my visit to
Viola, I was full of the fear that I should
lind Eustace Grant at her side, par haps ex?
ercising ail his'craft In spice of his as?
sumption of frankness, I believed him to be
crafty, to my disadvantage. It was a fear
which had na foundation. Neither on that
nor -on succeeding days did Grant in any
way interrero wita my monopoly of Viola,
CLce or twice I met him, apparently com?
ing from the house. On these occasions he
bowed gravely, but did not stop to speak.
His visits tv ere evMen ly paid at suc!i times
as did not clasn with mine. I raged in?
wardly to think that he had a right to visit
Viola at any time; bnt I was too proud to
remonstrate. It was some comfort tome
to hear Miss Rossiter occasionally remark
that ' they saw little or nothing of Eustace
now.
Viola seldom mentioned his nam?. No
doubt, with a woman1 ? qa "cine? s, she un?
derstood that it was distasteful to me.
Nevertheless, 1 knew that she held her
guardian in the greatest esteem, and looked
forward to the time when we should be
friend*. Tab I swore should never come.
Viola once my wife, the acquaintance be?
tween her and this strong- willed, attractive
maa should cease.
; As I sail, I am indeed a pitiful hero!
: But if 1 saw nothing of Grant I heard
from him. He wrote me. telling me he had
been informed by Miss Keith that our mar?
riage was to take place vevy shortly. Ho
would be glad to know my i* eitioas "re-.
spec'ing the settlement of her own small
f ortune.. There was a peremptoriness about
the wording of the letter which nettled me
extremely: I wrote back that it was quite
true we were to be married ia a few weeks'
time, but that it was not my intention to
settle my wife's mon3y upon her. Tha sum
was too paltry to trouble about, as it would
te qi:i.e lost sight of in the large post?
nuptial settlement which I proposed mak?
ing. Ii Mr. Grant ft?t any doubt as to my
means he could make inquiries of ray solici?
tor, who had my instructions to answer all
his questions fully.
lo this letter he did not reply; but I
heard that he made the inquiries, as I sug?
gested. No doubt, in Viola's interest, he
was right in so doing; but I liked him none
the more for the action.
Yes; Viola, overcome by my impas?
sioned prayers, had consented to an almost
immediate marriage. There was, indeed,
no rea on why we should" wait a day. She
loved me, and was willing to trust her
mtuce in my hauls. 1 loved har, and
longed for the "moment which would make
her mine forever. Moreover, I longed for
the time to come when 1 might tell her all;
confess the innocent bat foolish deception
I had practiced, and beg her forgiveness
not for mistrusting her, but her s.x in
general I was sorely tempted to reveal
the tru : state of affairs without further de?
lay; but GrantV warning rose to my mind,
and I determined that nntil the irrevocable
words were spoken, I would keep my
secret.
"We were married in the quietest way
possible. Viola, it seemed to mo, had no ?

mortified unless they were asked to the j

vexed. 1
I was also troubled by his refusai. It
showed too pla n'y his feelings, both to*
ward me and toward Vi-aa.
But he was in the church; be was there ;
even before I wa*. As I walked up tho j
ai-b I cau-rht a glimpse of his strongby- j

ceremony.
left the church, man and * wife, Eas race
Grant waited into the vestry, and, a3 he
had expressed Jus intention of doing, saw
with bis own eyes that I had married Viola
m my tru?name. ' .
We drove straight from the church to the
railway station. When alone in the car?
riage almost the first words my wife said
were: ^Julian, Eustace was in church.
Did you sea him?1 - .
"Yea, :I saw him;* - .
"Why did he not come and .wish me good
bye? It was hot like bim. I must have
offended him. I will write and: ask : Hm
how."
I hated the idea of Eustace Grant being,
in such a moment as this, uppermost in my
wife's;thoughts. "Never mini, dearest,7' I
said ; -Svhat is Eustace Grant to nsf *
"Oh, much, very much tb me, Julian! He
was my mother's 'frleicd, he has bean my
one friend ever since I cars; remember."
. "I do not bice him, '' I said.
"But .you wfil like him; you must Uki
him. He is so good, so noble, so clever.
Promise mej Julian, you'will like him for
my sake;".
Although I would not credit him with the
two first qualifications-goodness and no?
bility-I was willing tobelieva that Eustace
Grant was clever-perhaps too clever. The
disadvantage at which he had held me upon
that night when I was for the time, in his
eyes, an impos 1er, rankled in my mind.
Bat to-day I could afford to be generous. I
drew Viola close to mei
'.Dearest," I said, *i wilt try and get rid
of my prejudice. I will try and forgot that
this man loved you, and would have made
you his wife. I will try. to erase from
wondering whv, -when he is so good, hobie
and clever, you should have chosen me."
Viola laidher soft cheek against mine.
"Julian, my husband," she whispered,
"are you not all that Eustace Grant is-and
more. I love you."'' '
With her words all my doubt, all my fear
of Eustace Grant fled-never, I hoped, to
return. With Viola's arms round me, her
kisses, on my lips, I could afford to pity my
unsuccessful rival. When we were in?
stalled in the compartment of tba train
which was, by a venal arrangement of the
guardia, reserved to ourselves, I fell to
considering how I should best mike
known to Viola mat the name by which
she had hitherto known me was assumed.
I was bsginninsr, or fancie! I was begin*,
nmg, to know something of my wife's true
nature; andi told myself that the task be?
fore me. was not so . easy as I had one3 im?
agine! it would be. Mr confession was
hurried on by a question she herself
asked me:
%Julian, wbat hame was it you signed in
the book at churchf '
I had hoped that in the agitation natural
to a bride who stgns her maiden nama for
the last time sba had not notice! my auto- '
graph. Bot she must . have. done so, al*
though she had said nothing about it until
now.
So I made the plunge and told ber all.
Told ber my time name; told her of the
beautiful house in the west which would be
ours: told her of the life, free from care and
anxiety as to the future, which stretched
before us. Then I besought her forgiveness
for keeping her m ignorance of these things.
I had, be it said, given her to understand
that I ( w?s a man with an income . just
enough to live upon in comfort. * ^
Grant was right. He knew Viola. when
he told m 3 that, by revealing my deception,
he might destroy the fabric of my happi?
ness. She said little, but her look told ma
she was hurt and wounded. I verily be?
lieve her first thoughts were -that she would
rather I had been what I represented
myself to ba, than to haye the power of
sharing such a horne and so much wealth
with her. How little man anders tau d
women! Perhaps because no two women
are alike.
. But Viola forgave me. A woman always
forgives iba man she loves, but I knaw that
she was sad at the thought that I coull
have dreamed that riches might have influ?
enced her. Nevertheless it was days before
I could get her to join me unrest raino Hy
in the schemes which I wove of our future
life.
We went down to a qa 'et -watering place
on the south coast. Here we staid for a
fortnight Oh, those, sweet summer daysl
Shall I ever forget them? For the time
there seemed no cloud which could possibly
shade our joy. All the cynical, suspicious,
misanthropical elements seemed swept cut
of my nature. I told myself that the con?
stant society of the wife I loved was mak?
ing a better as well as a happier man of me.
At the end cf out stay by the sea it was
our intention to return to London for a
couple of days, and then start for Switser
land. Here, or in what country we chose,
we were to spend months. In is ct, I had
as yet no berna to offer my wife. The tenant
of Herstal Abbey would not turn out with?
out six months'notice; so, for the time, we
must be wanderers. .
Eustace Grant-I bad by now almost for?
gotten him-wrote once to my wife. She
seemed overjoyed as she saw bis hand?
writing,' but: vexed at the ceremonious way
in which his letter began. It lies before
me now. I copy it: . ' .
"MT DEAR MBS. - LOBATNZ: You will re?

solicitor's-Mr. Monk, 86 Lincoln's Inn
Fields? Please let me know. Yours sin?
cerely. "EUSTACE G?ANT,"
"He might have sent a word of congrat?
ulation, " said Viola, in a vexed tot e.
"How shall I answer this. Julian?''
"Say we will meet him at Mr. Monk's at
12 o'clock on Tuesday."
To which effect Viola wrote. I did no/
read the letter, but I wondered at thv
length of it

The Objects of Bathing.
[Saturday Review.]
The object of bathing is fourfold: To pro?
duce a certain amount of nervous shock, that
should be followed by reaction and an in?
creased circulation of the blood cn the sur?
face, resulting in a more rapid chango of
tissues; to lower the temperature of the
body; to cleanse the skin; and to produce
pleasurable feelings, and, in connection
with swimming, the beneficial effects of one
of tba best forms of physical exercise. The
nervous shock and the reaction from
it, following the first contact with
the water, are important points, and
to obtain them che plunge or tbe
douche is preferable ta any other form of
bath. To wade up to the middle and stand
shivering and fearful of tho momentary
teeling of discomfort is neither healthy nor j
pleasant, and timid persons who dare not j
plunge boldly into tho water should be cen- !
teat with the douche bath. A larga garden ?
hose, with a high pressure of water, hald at
a distance of fifteen or twenty feet from the
body, will give an idea of this moat delight?
ful curative and bracing age Jt. Sea !
bathing differs from c*:t-dcor iresh-water
bathing in the greater specific gravity
of sea-water and its consequent greater
buoyancy and more uniform temperature,
whi.e the pure air, sunshine, and better
sanitary surroundings of seaside places con?
tribute largely to the resalta. MineraJ bc tha,
as such, lave no particaiar superiority over
other baths of the same density and ;ea-per
ature. In addition to the greater healthi?
ness and enjoyableness of outdoor bathing,
it is probable that the simple exposure of
the body to the sun and fresh air ? of real
boned t, and con: rib mes to the sum total of
the good results. Cramps are considered
one of the great dangers of bathing, but
when they are fatal it is probably tbe result
of syncope or minting, from failure of ih9
he.-rt's action. A gc ai swimmer, in vigor?
ous health, would hardly be wholly disabled
by a cramp of onlv a part of his limbs.

The First Jewish Peor.,,
' {New York Trflr?ac] ' '
The elevation of Sir "Nathaniel de Roths
I child to the British peerage zs in many re
j spects significant. Jdr. Gladstone has the
i credit of creating the first Jewish peer; for
j though Lord -Beacon >?oId was a Jew * by '
race, he was not a professor of tba Heb
1 rew faith, and, in fact, bas done what
was possible to effa?a his connection
with bis own people. Bat the Roths?
childs represent Hebraism all over the
world, and - their family i a* for many years
been doing th? actual fighiiag .against the
? venerable prejudice; which lor so pian,' cen?
turies refused tothe Jews throughout Europe
j either social or political positions. Even m
j this age of toleration it has takeu more than
! a generation to conquer inherited antipa
I thies; . but it. is instructive ; to observe
! that, in England' the house of lords
\ ha i always been behind the commons in
[ this as in so many other poinx Thus
I when in 1849 Baron Lionel de Rothschild
was returned to the house from Len ion, and
being refused his seat the Jews1 oaths of ab?
juration bill was introduced to remove bis'
disabilities, tbe bill passed the hon e. but
was rejected by the lords, and m 1855 and
I 1859 .the samo measures repeatedly passed
I tba house, only to be as steadily thrownput
I by the upper chamber.
But it was not until 1871, after the aboli
tion of tests, that a. Jew was made master of
; ats at Oxford; and evan when Disraeli .waa
premier of England and in the zenith of Ms
reputation there is reason to believe that'be
declined a peerage in favor of his wife, not '
because he did not desire the honor, but be?
cause h. -eared the poli deal effect of his ele?
vation. At a later period he accepte! the
distinction, though there was much grum?
bling among the Conservative peers, hat ba
was not regarded as a. thorough Jew.
The elevation rf Sir Nathaniel ds Roths?
child, therefore; marks a decided advance!.
It must be concluded'that the old prejudices
have nearly, disappeared. For though the
special distinction of the Rothschilds is their
financial position, and though this has often
enabled them to control thc course of power?
ful governments and to command -at least
the outward show of homage and respect
from the haughtiest aristocracy, their da?
daism has always been strongly uiarnod,*and
they have never made .any concessions in
that particular.

Anderson Intelligencer. ?j* I .
The election in.J? ul toa County, Ga.,
which includes the City c f Atlanta, opon
the question of prohibition on Wednes-1
day. the 25th of November, was the
most exciting, and taken eil together,
the most, remarkable contest that' has
ever been witnessed in. tais country*
The friends of prohibition watched tbe,
battle with intense interest,1 but gener?
ally with little hope of victory, though
the prohibition managers in: Atlanta
never wavered one moment in the firm
conviction that they , would win, and to
the delight of the friends of this great
moral reform nit over the-country, when
the figures were summed up it was de?
clared that Fulton County had gone
'dry' by t majority.of 216 votes. The.
number of votes cast exceeded? .we be?
lieve, 9,000, so that the majority; isl
small but safe. This prohibition tri?
umph shows the great force- of a moral
reform when it is once, understood by
the people. The re vea ne cry, which
keeps so many towns and cities wet, .was
urged for all it was worth in Atlanta,
but the higher sentiment and the claims
of duty prevailed. The result on tbis?
ques lion will be the same in many other
sections of the South before another five
years rolls past. . -,

Moral Training.
Williamsburg Herald. ; 1
Judge Aldrich in. hts^Charge to the
Grand Jury, at the last" Court, as we
have already mentioned, said that there
should be a reformatory school for
young convicts. That instead of com?
ing out of the Penitentiary with a good
lesson taught, they come out hardened
criminals, and are. received with open
arms by their race and only looked up?
on as being martyrs. So far as they
being hardened criminals the judge is
right, but so far as having a reformatory
school or a place to improve their, morals
is concerned, the judge is wide of the
mark. The best and only training bf
the morals of hog, chicken, cotton and
other thieves, is the whipping post. A
solid round of 75 on the bare back with
a good cowhide would haye more effect
opon those immoral propensities than
ten reformatory schools in each county.
Just to think that tbe whore week -ot
court was taken up, we might say, wttb
just such cases at an expense to the tax?
payers, who are the property holders, of
not less than ?150 to$2G? a day, wheo
the whole could have been dispensed
with io less than a day at the post, and
would be more lasting and effective.
This matter should become a serious
thought wiih our Legislature.
Last October a colored Class Leader j
or 'xortcr* as they :are called, was con?
victed of stealing cotton from Sheriff
Brock in g ion. He got back just in time
to see bis colleague, Rev. Harry Brown,
convicted ^r complicity in thc sanie
offence sentenced to two years. Albert,
the first spoken of, says the Peniten?
tiary 'amt so had after all, got plenty of
'lasses and bacon and bard werk there,*
bot not work enoogfr to keep, one from
getting fat, for he looks as sleek and
greasy as a scrap boy to a 'first. class ho?
tel. This matter of thei CeurtV^oie be?
ing occupied with' such cases tsjb?c?m

seek relief from some sontee anti we'
know of none more spe?dy-sr? e fie "rent
