Continutd from Thursday. SvNorBia of OrsKiNO cnArTEits. In a little flsblng village on the British coast the ltev. God. rey llemiulun was preaching his first sermon to a new chariro one stormy Sunday mornlnir. A minute gun at sea told tbe story or a vessel on tbe rockj. Tbe minister dismissed tbe congregation and Joined a llfe-ooot crew In aiding to rescue the passengers and crew on tbe Binning ship. He drew one hair-drowned woman from tbe waves, and the exclaimed: "Why, Oodtrcy Uemmlnp, It It you 7" The vicar started like one shot, and stood whero be was, seemingly petrified. v Violet 1" be said; " Violet yon I Is It possi ble 1" lid ward Laicelles, tho rector's friend, was about to marry Diana Leigtnon. The woman Hemming rescued was an adventuress whom Lascelles bad married, but tbey separated, and he believed her dead. The woman sought out Lascelles on the eve of Ms wedding and told bimlthat be was still ber husband. . IT eight o'clock that evening Sir Edward knocked at the door of the littlo coUage. In a momont or two a stout rod-faced old woman opened it, and surveyed the baronet with astonishment. "Is Miss Oharteris at home ? " he asked. The woman mut tered an affirmative, and motioned him to walk into tho large kitchen from which' the door openod. An old sailor sat by the fire mending a net, and two or thrco younger men lonnged about smoking t but Sir Edward scarcely noticed anything as the woman conducted Lira across the kitchen and through a narrow tone passoce to a room beyond.

Oh! it's a wholo circus sometimes " GUESTS WHO DO NOT REGISTER, Why Home People Keep Secret Tbelr Visits to New York. Among tho thousands who visit Now York daily thero aro many who are not in tho least anxious that their presonco Bhall bo known. Talks with tho clerks of soveral of tho prom, inent hotels show tho fact that many people of social and political prominence como to New York who oro;extremoly desirous of re maining unknown savo to tho very fow with whom their immediate business is to bo transacted. At ono hotel tho prim little man who looks aftor tho rooming of guests bristled up at the suggestion that any person over failed to reg istcr there or registered under on assumed name. The rlerk of another hotol did not scruple to acknowledge thnt many prominent peonlo failed to place their namos upon the register. In this instanco tho unregistered guests were all society people who did not care to be deluged with visiting-cards and be obliged to perform their wearisome duties to society whilo in the city on a purely business errand. Tho demands of society, howover, are as nothing compared with tho impertinent in. quirios of a political constituency, and that is perhaps and probably tho reason why so many country legislators are secret visitors to the metropolis. " Do you have many guests who fail to register?" was asked of tho clerk of a cen trally located hotel. " A great many," said tho clerk. " They aro mostly politicians and particularly coun try politicians members of the Legislature. Their visits are usually made during the ses sions of that body and aro especially frequent when some bill affecting New York interests is pending. You seo an, announcement that ' Assemblyman Slocum Johnson, of Way. back, is registered at Bedloe's Hotel,' at such a period would result in the propounding of puzzling conundrums in that honorable gen.

Ho found himself in a long, low room, with great rafters running across the ceiling, and with an old-fashioned fireplace which burnt a big tiro. Tho door oponed and Violet entered. She looked more beautiful than ever : tho color in her cheeks was bright and full. Sho came up to the Baronet with out stretched hands and ready smile : but ho saw neither bauds nor smile, and refused to take the chair she poiuted to. " You won't sit down, Sir Edward ? Well, this is certainly no place for ono used to such splendor as is doublleBS to be found at Las colles Flace, but wo should have thought it comfortable if not really elegant, out m the bush shouldn't we ?" sho said in a mocking voice that drove her visitor to desperation, oud made him put a very strong guard over himself. " How wonderful it is that wo should meet again after so many years of cruel separation 1 You really ought to bo overjoyed to see me, my dear husband. Indeed, I'm glad to seo you, you know. Well, aird wbat hove you got to say to mo to-night?" Bir Edward stepped up to the table and took from his pocket it leather rase. His hands trembled very much, and his face was perfectly rigid ana pale ; but there was a strange calmuess in his voice when ho spoko. " I uave got nothing to say to you, save this," he said i " In this cobo you will find the sum I proposo to allow you every year, l'leasoto look at it and see If it is right, and givo me a receipt." Sho took tho case from bio hand and counted the notes that lay within it. A smile of grati fication passed across her face as she put the case in her'breast. " Generous as ever, Sir Edward." she said. " This will do very well very well indeed. I will givo you an acknowledgment. Well, and when aro you coin" to bo married to - " " Be silentr'sald tho baronet. " You have said too much already. Itemember that tho money I have givon you is the price of your uilenco. Be pleased, therefore, to keep that silenco." Violet laughed. It was her own dry, con temptuous, derisive laugh, and Sir Edward grouuod inwardly as ho heard it. "All right, my dear husband," she said. "I'll not pry into your little affairs. Hence, forth,' tave on tho occasion of paying this lit tie morceau, we're dead to each other.

Sho went up tho steps to tho station on tho dowu Bide of tho track, and then sho Bald : " Oh, sugar I" and turned around and went down again. Sho forgot ono of tbo childreu, who ambled along under tho window ledge of tho ticket offico and was checked in an artless desiro to promenado down tho car track by tho man at tho drop-box. By tho tlmo sho reached tho sidowalk sho missed hor offspring, and, with a, shriek which drew a crowd, sho flow up tho stairs and across tho station and snatched tho in. fant violently away from the guard, as if he were personally responsible for her fright. Sho kissed tho baby and then sho Blapped it and bore it away wailing. Whan sho got across tho street it was just 5.30, and Bho struck tho usual crowd Tif wtarv business men, who wero all ready to break their nocks to get tho flrbt train uptown. Thoy did not get it. Her Bhoe was untied and half way up tho stairs she seated tho children on ono step and put hor foot up another and strengthened the barricade with the bundle and the parasol. The men sworo and pushed and struggled, but she made a good bow-knot and tucked tho ends in neatly before sho started on again. When she got to the window of tho ticket office she laid her bundles down on tho sill and began to hunt for her purte. Sho wont tnrough all three pockets of her ulster bo fore she found it, and then she opened it and fumbled through it and finally laid down a $10 bill. " Can't change that, madaino 1" " You can't chaugo $10?" " Como, hurry up, please." " Well. I think you're real disobliging. I thought I had 10 cents hero, anyway." Tho train camo thundering into tho station and tho impatient crowd surged forward and a half dozen entorprtsiug men slapped down their nickels, grabbed their tickets and got by ovor hor head. She stopped to glare after them boforo bIio hunted through tho pocket of her dress skirt and brought out a littlo knitted silk purso, fastened together by two cunning littlo steel rings. Thero was a glimmer of coin through the meshes of tho silk, and a hopoful gleam lighted the weary face of the man in the ticket ofllco aud was reflected by the waiting crowd. But thoso cunning littlo steel rings refused to part. They wero caught in a thread of tho silk and sho pulled thorn and poked them and shook them and hammered them against tho window ledge. Sho took out her hat-pin and tried to pick a knot out of tho silk aud got red in the faco and looked around to seo if anybody was laughing nt her. Sho gave ono last vicious tug, and then sho said, plaintively : ''Oh, dear! isn't this provoking? Don't you think you could change that bill?" " Ha-a-rrl'm tra'n !" Thero was a sudden mad, desperate scram, ble in the crowd, and the agent said : "Hero I you'd better step back into the station nnd get out your change 1" "Weill" slrO said, bridling indignantly and grabbing at her bundles, and just then 10 cents dropped out of her glove and rolled along the ground. "There!" she shrieked, pouncing on it in triumph. " I knew I had 10 cents. I put it in my glove to have it handy." Sho snatched hor tickets, left hor bundles on tho window, and pushed the children along in front of her towards tho train. "Here! Drop your tickets!" called tho guard as she sailed by. And tho conductor had to oxtricato tho laco rufllo of her parasol from the goto boforo sho got safely aboard. Thero wero no scats, and sho stood on a man's foot and hung from a strap with a weary, fainting expression, until somebody got up and offered her n seat. Sho hopped into it silently, and discovered a friend by her side. "Why, my dear! What a relief to seo a' friendly face. I havo had tho most dreadful timo trying to get this train. I am just ready to cry. Tho mou are simply inaufferablo ut these stations. Such pushing and scram, bling, and, of course, porfeotly furious bo. cause a woman happens to bo ahead of them at the ticket-office. I havo had my clothes nearly torn off my back, and my purso knocked out of my hands, and the money and everything and signed ' Estello Loscelles.' Quite correct eh ?" He took tho bit of paper sho gavo him and placed it in his pocketbook, and wont to wards tho door. " Aren't you going to Bhako handB with mo and say goocLevening?" said Violet. He turned back slowly, and coming closo to hor looked fixedly in her mocking face for a momont. "You vile creature!" he said, in low, clear tones, that told of long suppressed emotion. "It would take an eternity of flretooloanso my hand if it touched yours. Do you know how you have blasted toy life and unother life? Do you know what your wiles, you beautiful fiend, have dono for me?" Violet stepped back a pace or two and looked at him. "Sir Edward Lascelles, you poor, pitifnl fool 1" sho said; " ask yourself what your own foolishness did for you before you accuse me. You mado your own bed, now Ho on it." Ho gavo ono deep groan, and hurried from the room. Violet took up a book, wheeled the most comfortable chair sho could find towards tho fire, and sat down. " I had him thero," sho said, musingly, " Poor fool poor fool !" And for tho remainder of that night sho gave him never another thought. Sir Edward went from the cottage, past the inn, past the church whero the light still burned in tho vestry window, and so on through tho snow and the wind till ho came to tho park. It was as wild a winter night as ono could possibly find, and tho snow lay in groat drifts beneath the trees and by tbe walls, but he took no heed, and went straight to tho gate whero ho bad met Violet in the after, noon. Thero ho paused for ono moment, and looked nt tho lights in the houso before him. He stood but a moment, aud then t ith something very liko a deep nob, he plunged again into the snow. This timo his path lay through a thick shrubbery, which led round the lawn to tho side of tho house, till at last it terminated by tho conservatory. He crept stealthily along when ho got near tho house, and at last screened himself be. hind a bush closo to the conservatory, in such a position that he could seo all that went on within, and yet remain unobserved himself. , Ho , stood for a little whilo by the scattorcd all over tho placo, and and," sud denly missing her bundles, " nnd my pack, ages stqlen.iuosiyoly snatoUfid right away ,rUOh,ei know ail'obSut if, my'dcir I I al. ways have just Buoh a timo.

One-eyed people who can afford It have two tlats eyes, ono lor day, the other for ctrnlng use. Tho remon for thl Ib that tho pupil of theeyo Is smaller In tho day-tlmo than at night, nuil henco the two glass eyes are ot different sizes, so as to correspond with the natural eye. The price of gUss eyes is brooming cheaper on account of coni clltlon, and at thu same Hint) the qmlllyU better than hitherto, A common glass eje tuny bo had for $10. but they are not a good Imitation and do Uot last long, A II rut-class eye costs (SO, or even more. The best will not last over two years, becatmo the sccretlnus In the hol low ot the ere roughen the Blast by chemical ac tion, and this roundness Irritates the flesh. A glass eye, like false teeth, Is takan out nt night, lor It would not i'alo logo to sleep with It In tbe cav Ity. It might drop out, and tho slightest fall would brenk It, If a person could buy g1as eyes at wholesale, by the gross, he could get them fornliout (2 apiece.

(Hjsh eyes are all nude abroad, principally lit Germany aud Trance, no factory having horn started here, nllbough there Is a great demand for them In this country. A glass eya Is not made after tho shape of a natural eye, because when tho latter Is taken from the cavity the tissue Just back of it pusnrs forward and leaves but little space. Tho falso eye Is, therefore, elliptical In shape. The outer siuo pre icrvcsthe natural form, but tic Inner sKlo Is nearly Rut ith rounded edges. It Is slightly larger than the natural eye, so that when lunerted In mo cav Ity It may nut slip out.

Home day tbe great American novel may materialize; some day wo may have on American School of 1'alntlng or ot Mtislc. Some day wo may not look to Kurope for art culturo in any line. .Moantluio the Arsoolated Artists of Now York have estab lished a School of embroidery, whose work Is as characteristic of lis time and founded on as on during art principles as were tho old Gobelins tap estries. Tne exhibition of American tapestries In progress for tho past fortnight nt the rooms of the society has demonstrated avaln the fact that as beautiful drapery, upholstery and wall hanging fabrics aro being produced In this country as aro made In the world to-day. Mrs. Candice Wheeler Is tbe head of tho Society of Asso ciated Artists. She Is a sister of Mrs. Jeannotte Thurber, of American opera fame, aud the mother of Dora Wheeler, an artist of exceptional lowers. Airs. Wheeler Is an exquisitely pretty n oman. who looks quite as much like her daugh ter's elder sister as her mother, and has a thor oughly feminine- charm. Sho Is a woman of busl nofg sense also, and the aUalrs of tho society havo been managod with skill and discretion. Sue has pnshed embroidery further and In a more Inde pendent direction than any other art in the country, lids been a very apostle to teach self-help to young women and has made considerable money wltbal, bv ber Inventions of new methods In tapestry and of artistic fabrics and dyes. The Art of Lining the Face. IAbid Chambtrt't Journnl. The art of "lining" tho face to simulate the wrinkles of ago Is one very Imperfectly understood. Frequently docs the amateur performer draw a abyrlnthlno meshwork of thin, dark lines, which only convey the effect of a dirty face when seen upon the stage. The point to decide Is rather how few than how many wrinkles to mark upon the face. A few broad touches partaking more of tae nature of shadows than of mere lines will often give an etTcct which would bo destroyed by any attempt at a more minute treatme t, Tho lines (honld be made with dark red, not black. An ordinary water-color cake and a small brnsb nro the implements needed. The natural wrinkles of the face will afford the best guldo to where the artlUclal ones are to be painted, although, of course, tbry most bo varied according to tbe character to be represented. For example, in marking the " crows' feet " In the outer corners of the eyes a jovial expression Is given by drawing tto lines downward aud a serious or mournfol ex. pread'in by drawing them upward. It should lurther be borne lu mind that If the light Is strong tho lining will require to De strong In proportion, but In performing by an Imperfect light the lining should be subdued as much as possible.

" ITavo you heard the latest!" asked Smlther ot Jones, wno had dropped In during the evening at tboSratthers mansion. " No," replied Jones eagerly; "what Is it t" "There It Is," returned Pmlthers gloomily, as a loud wall was heard from the nursery. " You hear It now. It's anolber boy, and, by George, he has get a pair of luugsl" windows; but at last ho turned away and passed on through tho shrubbery to the lawn, and so to tho park. When he reached the littlo gato, ho lookod back longingly at tho lighted windows. "Good-by, sweetheart good-by I" ho said. "I can't make it out, Arabella. It's some, thing that's perfectly incomprehensible to me. I'vo thought it over for tho last three weeks or so aud I can't make it out. It's perfectly incomprehensible." Miss Spicer sat by tho flro knitting. It was evening, aud sho and Miss Arabella had been to evensong and got back again, aud now thoy wero discussing something which they had not failed to discuss at any momont smco tho something happened. "Perfectly incomprehensible," repeated Miss Arabella. "I saw him," said Miss Spicer, in tones of cbasto horror and maidenly resentment. "I saw him him, a clergyman, actually kiss that woman I" " Fleaso, 'm," said Jano, popping her round faco within tho door, " there's Nancy Wood wants to eco you." "Nancy Wood!" criod Miss Spicer. "Goodnoss gracious. Arabella! It's with Nancy Wood that thai female lodges. Show Nnncv iu, Jano, immediately!" So Jane fetches Nancy in, and Nancy, with a clouded countenance, sits down in the presence of Mias Spicer and Miss Arabella Spicer, and having heaed a deep sigh, pro. pares to bo interrogated. " Well, Nancy," says Miss Spicer, .in her most urbano manner," how are you to.day ?" Nancy sniffs, looks round tho room with much contempt, and shrugs her shoulders. " I'm no hotter than I should be, Miss Arrybella," sho says, totally ignoring the presence of Miss Spicor ; " thanks to you, inarm, all tiro samo. Poor folk don't havo no call to be in good health, especially with such a husband as I'vo got, and no luxuries, and forced to bo teetotallers, whether or no."

"I alius did say that your alo were better than any in Elmsea; and I'm that faint with toilin' up tho cliff that an odd glass'll do mo good." So Nancy is supplied with alo and plum cako ; ond presently, when she is consider ably mollified, Miss Spicer begins the deli cate task of interrogation. 0DR MONSTER I'OST-OFFIOB.

I have taken the trouble to compire tbe business of to.day wltn that of tho early days of our office; the result la startling. Statistics aro somewhat dry as a rule, but whoever will take tho trouble to think as he runs over trc following figures will nnd room for astonishment, from tho onlclal re port I nnd thnt during the year ending Dec J1, IWJO, tho total uumlier of pieces (letters, curds, newspapers) of mall matter ilrllHTCd from the New York olllces was ti3,S3S,v.'3; the total of r'cccH re ceived In tticio unices and forwarded was CM.su.sSl. Tho handling of this mass of mailer required 5,a'l lock pouches and v,)i,S9 sacks ; tho average number of pom-hen, sacks, and cases passing tlirutiuh tho olllcc dill), was 11, iw. Tne mime) paid out and teeelted In tho money order derurtiiic-nt of tho ma, 11 office and lis nnevii brunch unites amounted lu ;i,'2M,u.ui. The expense of running the New York putt-otlleei was $l,0i6,4l7 and the receipts 14, tAH.lvi, ghituu ml ritcnucof tti.m.Mtt. '1 lie number or employees was sj.oitk Dating the year fourteen u.uli wagons carried 133 loads of mull nutter between tho railroads and tho main office; tbe avcraao daily number of wagons from business sr.il publication unices de llTctlug mail In bulk at the main otllco was it. There uro tig itieu foreign mads dcaratched every week, one mall trcqutmlv requiring I r 0111 seven to nlno two-hoi.e trucks, lli-tdilo the llfteen branch onicts, New York bas l.Ikss street letter boxes, from witch collections are made twenty-six limes a day In the most crowded parts of thoclt). In lo tho offices sold IGMeo.Wd stamps, 13,4M,wo stamped envelopes, aud 41,ii8,"W postal cards. Twelve hundred pub lications aro lualiod to their subscribers from tho New York office, aggregating U.ouo tuns of mall mutter, Tue total weight ot mails received and de.p itched dally from the New Y'ork offices was ltJ)r tons, showing an lucrea-e ut a per cent, since lsil, wncn the nally weight was 130 tuns. 'Ibis Is an extraordinary business as lump-ired wltn that ut llfly years hgo. Tho en t ruble Charles I'orresler, now dead, who was connected wlilt the New York onico tor moro lhau half a ccn. lury, was a mluoof Inlormntlon concerning thos early days, nnd I unci lu many ot my note books of ten years ugo records of talks held with blm and niou away fur futuie use. In ltuu the Now vorl: l'oatmaiter was named Ilalley. He lit ed ut er tho onico and boarded the clerks 111 his family. It Was his habit to go duw 11 Into tho ufftcu about T o'clock every inorniug In his urcsslng-gowii to see that all was going well, returning upstairs tor breakfast. Tho working furce consisted of seven clerks. In 18W ouo of tho clerks, William Coleman, who had charge of the distribution of newspapers rectlvcd by mall, resigned uuu opened u sta tioner's shop. As none of tho remalnlug e'erka was lamlliar wlih tho work or sorting thu news paper, young Forrester's tint duty was to tako thu cutlro newspaper mall under bis arm every day aud carry It to Coleman's office In order that tho ex-clerk might sort It. The six carriers of tho office In W1A rtcclveil two ceuls for each letter dellterod aud ouo cent for each newspaper; they Mould required to be at the uinott eery morning at ri o'clock to do the work of sorting letters. What was known as tho "north mall " was scut as far ub Albany by a linn of four horse stages, with relays cery tight miles: tho start was from tho old Merchants' Hotel In Cort landt street. "Admiral "Heesldo had the con tract for carrying the mall between hcio and Dos ton. When the malls srrlted a signal was given by blowing a coach horn. It took two days to scud a letter from New York to lloston and sixteen days from New Y'ork to New Orleans. m Men Who Distribute. Money by tbo Carload Onro a Month. IFrom tht l'ltttburp Cnmintreial Gattttt. The paymasters of tho several railroads running Into tho city are getting ready for their regular monthly trip over tho lines. The Pennsylvania Itallroad and the Pennsylvania Company have tin largest number of men on their pay-rolls. Tho latter company have In tho neighborhood uf 11,000, who draw over $300,000 monthly. Tne men aro paid lu cash generally gold. Tue car, after pay ing all tho employees In l'litsburg aud Allegheny, goes out upon the road anout tho lltn of each month. 1 ney reach Chicago about tho Slst. 'Iho men along tue road are given notlco that the car Is coming by tbo irafii preceding It carry lug blue flags on tho cuglne. Ou the flags aro the letters "P. M. " meaning paymaster. To guard against attacks of robbers at night very little money Is kept in tho tar. Before the pay master starts out tic telegraphs to banks at differ ent points along the line that he will be there at a certain hour on a certain day with a check to be cashed. The check Is Just for ubout tne amount that Is to bo paid that day. Tho first point checks are given la at Salem, O. , whero very otten tho amount Is f CO, ouo. A representative of the bank meets the car at tho station and exchanges the money for the check. 1 here are always three or four men bfsldes the train crew on the car. The paymaster and his assistants go heatily armed, and it would bo a bard matter for anybody to rob the car. Tho car slops at all stations along the line, and the employees In the Immediate vicinity are supposed to be on hand to receive their money. The paymaster counts the money out before them and they sign the roll In bis presence. J. II. Fred ericks, one of the oldest employes of the Pennsyl vania Company, Isthe paymaster. The Pennsylvania ltailroad have about 10,000 men on the turee divisions between Iltlsburg and Philadelphia. AH the employees In this city are paid in checks on the Men-bants and Manufactur ers' Hank. The checks are received by mall and distributed by the officials of tho various depart ments. Those out the road get their checks from the pay-cars. There Is one car for each division. Tbey pay out about $.y)0,000 monthly. If au em ployee wishes to get his money, for good cause, be. ore the regular time, he is paid out of the contin gency fund. .-The Ualtlmoro and Ohio road pay about 2,600 men betwen Pittsburg and Cumberland. The officers and others lu this city receive checks and the em ployees ou tire road are paid In cash. About $200, 000 Is paid out. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie hss about 1,600 men on their rolls who are paid about $15,000 la cash. Each man's money Is put In an envelope with his name, number ut days he werked and amount of money be Is entitled to. It takes two and one-hair days to pay them. lhe Panhandle Itallroad ear disburses aboat $150. 000 between this city and Columbus. It also pays tho Cleveland and I'ltuburg employees. m m Curlons Pets the Craze. IFrom A Jloiton Iltrald. Cartons pets are the faahtonablo craze.

Langtry t- "So you'vo got a lodgor, now, Nancy ?' sho says. " Aud it's not my fault that I haven't," re plies Nancy, with a long pull at tho ale. "Tearing round o' nights, and talking to strango men. and 'avin' 'em come to Bee her, promiskus-liko, when sho's all alone and them parsons, too. I say it's scandalous, Miss Arrybella!" " And is all that truo, Nauoy?" says Miss Spicer. " Which I should novcr ha' beliovcd it of tho sect, inarm," buys Nancy. " Uein' it woman niybelf, and knowiu' what's what, and mo married, too, if I hadn't ha' seen it all with own eyes." "Tell us all about it, Nancy," says Miss Arabcllu. And as Nancy is a woman, and, moreover, as her heart is u tinned with Miss Spiccr's good alo, sho docs not tell all about it. When Nancy t out forth sho was in n happy stato of mind. Miss Spicor's tile was good, and sho had hail thrco glaiics of it. Miss Ara bella's cako was also good, and sho had had two thick slices thereof. So bho tripped nimbly along tho road by tho edgo of the cliffs, ruminating over her evening's experiences and thinking about her lodcer and the new parson. " Don't tell me," bho said, thinking aloud ; "I knots. Ho don't como thero for nothing, or my namo isn't Hannah Wood. No, my fine lady; you'vo something to offer him when ho gets there, I'll be bouud. Gent's doesn't go to see ladies without a reason. Oh, no. and him a parson. Oh, dear oh dear 1 it's a wicked w oriel it's a wicked world! And now, who'd ho' thought o' this ? Well, laws-a-massy, but I never did !" And Nancy started back, and stood quite motionless at a Bight which had met her wondering gazo on turning the corner of a grove of trees. Thero stood tho very persons of whom sho had been thinking. Uo was pxpluimug oil his views, all his aims; telling her what had transpired sinco tho timo when he, an Oxford uudergruduato, hud first met her and her father and fallen madly iu lovo with her golden hair and blue eyes and believed hitubolf loved iu return. Sho was telling him how, with her father, sho had left England and gouo to India, whore her fathor had died, and bow she had como back to England with enough money to live comfortably on, but with uo friends no work to do.
