K." CIXAFTER Vll fCosTrsnal She left an icy kiss on his lips and vanished. Ralph awoke with a start. It was all so real it waa very difficult to make it appear a simple dream. Dut It took hold of this sensitive man. It seemed to him. in his excited state, like a message from heaven. He rose, dress ed himself, and went down to the bouse of Dr. Hudson. Perhaps his mother had expected him. for she met him at the door and led him in to Agnes. All Ralph" pride and anj;er broke down at sight of that poor stricken lace. He could have cursed himself that be had ever been angry with her for a moment. He went to the bedside and lifted her head to his bosom, and put bis face down to hers. "My darling! my sister!" he cried. ""Agnes. look uj at me! I love you still!" She feemed dimly to comprehend, for he sxiled and put her weak arms around his neck, and lying there on bis bosom she fell asleep. From that time she rallied, and by-and-by the old doctor said she would live. Dut she came back to life weak and feeble as a babe; it was weeks be fore her memory returned to her fully, and the spring opened with many a bud and blossom before they thought it safe to remove her to the Rock. And then, as the warm weather ad vanced, and Agnes grew stronger, she was changed from her old self. She cared no more for the old charms of so ciety, she sought no companionship, but would wander for hours down on the beach where she had played with Lynde Graham in childhood, with no companion save the great dog Quito, which had been Marina's. She liked, too. to take long rides on horseback in fact, she seemed to give out all the love 6he had to give on Jove, for the faithful horse had not died, but still lived and throve under the care ful tenderness of his mistress; and Ag nes could never forget that Jove had lengthened out his life the life of the man she loved. CHAPTER VIII. HE return of Agnes to the Rock gave Imogene Ireton an excuse for visiting there. During the summer she came over quite frequent ly, always making eome errand the plea. She was as beau tiful and fascinat ing as ever, and it was not long be fore Ehe tried her power on Ralph Trenholme. It was impossible to be in her society without feeling her magnet ic influence, and then the sympathy che gave him waa so very delicate, so entirely suited to his needs. He won dered he had not before discovered what a refinement of feeling she pos sessed. She made him understand with out telling blm that she pitied him; made him feel that his sufferings were more than the whole world. Mrs. Trenholme looked on in secret exultation, Agnes with a halt defined feeling of dread for which she could not account. Imogene professed to be terribly superstitious and could not be prevail ed upon to spend the night at the Rock on any occasion. But one day a storm eet in while she was there and it raged so fearfully that it was unsafe to at tempt reaching home, and she was obliged to remain. She was strangely nervous and restless all the evening. She forgot to smile when Ralph spoke to her, and played chess so badly that he put away the board in disgust. Imo gene begged to be allowed to sleep with Agnes. It was such a fearful night, she said, and the old house was so lonely. To reach the chamber of Agnes they had to pass the door of the room where Marina had been murdered. Imogene grew ashen pale as they approached it, and clutched the arm of her com panion with something like terror. Ag r.03 stopped and looked at her with wonder. "What is it. Imogene? Are you ill?" The question acted on Imogene like a shock of electricity. She laughed loudly. "111? Not I. Only a little nervous. This oil house Is enough to give one the ter rors, with its gloomy corridors and its Innumerable dark closets." "I did not know but you might be thinking of the murder whlrh was dono 1n that room." said Agnes; "but I never fear poor Marina. The dead never come bark." "Don't they? I tell you, Agnes Tren !io!mo. they do!" There was something absolutely fearful In the voice In which she fpoke, but the next moment she said In her own clear tones, "At least some people think so." A year had elapsed since the murder of Marina, when Mrs. Trenholme ven- turcd to upoak to her son of what lay so near her heart. Ralph had been very tender rio her that day. more like his old self than he had been since the tragedy. Flie put her hand on his and Gpoke a little timidly. "Ralph, you once l,(terdcd to marry to plenpn yourself; I wlh you would really marry to please me!" He smld n. little sadly and touched lier hr.lr caressingly. "So you have not quite given up the eld project, mother mine! Well, I will think of It. I love no one. I shall not eadly love arrala." "And Imogene loves you, my son; I think it no more than honorable that you should give her the benefit of your name. With such a woman for a wife, lovo will surely come. Trust me for It." 49 if : U deh wvu'vi h .' kmittti f BY CLARA AUSUmJj He kissed the lips that were so near his own. "Mother. I will try to gratify you. I will ask Miss Ireton to be my wife." Mrs. Trenholme's face flushed rap turously. Her lifelong wish would be gratified. Her only son, the pride of her heart, would be the husband of the most beautiful and nobly-born woman In that part of the state. That night, Ralph sat by the side of Miss Ireton. He was pale and calm nothing of the nervous expectancy that characterizes tho doubtful lover. He took her hand In his and spoke very quietly. "Miss Ireton. you know my sad his tory. You know of the blight that fell upon my life a little more than a year ago, and knowing what you do, will you be my wife?" She looked Into his cool eyes, and saw that he did not love her. And she had given him so much! All the hom age of her impassioned soul! She flush ed crimson and set her white teeth hard. It was cruel to be won in that cold way; but anything to be near him. She would have been happy as his dog, If she could have been no more to this man she loved so fervently. She put her hot hand into his. "I will be your wife," she said, as coolly as he had spoken. He touched the Jeweled fingers with his lips and placed upon one of them a diamond the betrothal ring. All that night Imogene Ireton tossed restlessly on her bead. Her ambition, at last, was to be satisfied she was to be Ralph Trenholme's wife; but his love, for which she would have tW. her soul, was not to be hers. "He shall love me!" eh m4, pas sionately. "I will win him! Good heav ens! why Is he so much unlike other men that my beauty has no attraction for him? Can it be that I am hideous in his eyes?" They were married In the first wppT.- . of January. There was no parade notl even a bridesmaid, save Agnes Tren-i holme. The old house at the Rock shook opposed all display. She would have no wedding party, no bridal tour. A terrible storm swept over Portlea the night after Ralph took home a wife. Its like had not been known on the coast since that fearful storm when the foreign ship had been wrecked outside the harbor, and the waves had cast Marina up at the feet of Ralph Tren holme. The old house at the Rock shook with the force of the tempest, the very foundations trembled, the roar of the waves on the rocks below was perfectly deafening. Imogene paced her chamber all the night through; she could not sleep, she said a storm like this al ways made her restless. CHAPTER IX. A'iTCZV IIIiEE wce9 after aSj- hT wcdJ!ng. Imo M BenG Trenholme ffiftfy was missing. She fTyy PiPh haJ d,ned with the fiJvyi famili' an(l in ILvvf7 her usual honith i and spirits. At tea U the bell had failed to bring her down, and the girl that went to her room said she waa not there. The family felt little uneasiness until night fell, and then as she did not return they became seriously alarmed. Search began, and was continued through the next day, and far into the night; but no clue to the missing woman could be found. Ralph came home towards daybreak to fling himself upon the couch for an hour's sleep, and when he awake his wife slept by his side. He started up and looked at her, almost doubting his own senses. How very beautiful she was. her mouth with the Just parted scarlet lips, showing the pearls within, one exquisite arm under her head, and the long eyelashes curving upward from the glowing cheek. Ralph touched her hand and she awoke. "Imogene!" he said sternly, "will you explain this problem to me? Here have I been searching for you these four-and-twenty hours and more, and now I find you calmly asleep, without a single word to me to relieve my anxiety. Where have you been?" "I have been away. I was called away on business." "On business? Very well. What waa the nature of that business!" "It was a private matter which con cerns no one but myself," she replied, a little haughtily. "Private business! Imogene. a wlfo should have no secrets from her hus band! I do not wish to pry Into your af fairs, but it will be better to confide this thing to me at once." "I have nothing that I can confide." "This is very singular, Imogene. I warn you that the like of this must not occur again. If It does, I shall be severe ly displeased. Mark you that! My wife must not subject herself to vulgar re mark." We will pass the subject If you please," she Bald, In such a manner that he did not resume It. As the time passed Ralph Trenholme grew cold and reticent. All his old gen iality seemed to have died out of him. He was never cross, but he was not af fectionate. He did not kiss his mother and Agnes as he was wont, and though he treated his wife with the most punc tilious respect, she was to him ho dear er than any otheT woman. Strange stories were afloat among the servants and at last they reached the ears of the master. At first they excited only hi Indignation. He regarded them merely as silly Inventions of the elder ly butler, who was of Celtic origin, and most ridiculously superstitious. They Bald that at nights the doors of the chamber where Marina had died were heard to open and shut; that ghostly feet paced back and forth across tho floor, and that sometimes late at night pale, fpectral lights gleamed from the dusky windows, far out through the gloom. Mrs. Trenholme was greatly dls- tressed by these tales, and italpn posi tively forbad tho discussion of the sub ject at any time In the house, He would not encourage such foolish supersti tion, he said. Indignantly. Dut toon he was forced to acknowledge that there was something at work beside Imagin ation. He was detained until late one night In his study, which was In the east wing of the bouse, and only a little distance from the chamber of blood Through the dead silence came dls tlnctly to his ear the sound of a door being opened, a door which creaked upon Its hinges, like one long disused He remembered, with a half-suppress ed shudder, that the door of that cham ber creaked. He sprang up. seized the lamp and hurried to the place. The door, which had always been kept locked since the tragedy, was ajar. He entered the chamber and stood appalled by what he saw. In the center of the room, stand lng Just where the dark spot on tho carpet showed that there the crime had been done, was a tall, white figure. Its head enveloped In something misty and white, its right arm extended toward the empty chair where she last sat! For a moment Ralph stood still with amazement, but only for a moment. He was a man of nerve, and he reached forward to seize upon the apparition to determine whether it belonged to the world of shadows or of flesh and blood. Dut at the first step a rush of air, cold as that from an inclosed tomb, swept over him, extinguishing his light. The place was dark as Erebus. He heard a faint, shivering sigh at his very elbow, then the soft closing of a dis tant door, and all was still. He groped his way out of the dreadful place, got another light, and went up to his wife's chamber. She was sleeping soundly, and he did not disturb her, but sat down to think over the strange thing he had witnessed. But the more he thought the more clouded bis mind be came. He could find no reasonable solu tion of the mystery, and by-and-by he fell asleep. Whec v3 awoke Imogene was gone. He kt.ew -t once that she had left the house, for a note directed c ier hand to himself lay on the table. He tore It open and read: "Mr. Trenholme Again I am called away. Duslness may keep me absent a couple of days. You need make no search." 10 BB CONTINUED.) PRACTICAL ANARCHISM. Michael lira an Deatroya Property to Spit tha Klch. Practical anarchism could be seen at work In the house of Mrs. Mary M. Bryson of New York recently. Mrs. Bryson engaged a man named Michael Braun to varnish the furniture, and she agreed to pay him $4 a day. Ac cording to the story which Mrs. Bry son told the magistrate of the York ville police court Braun destroyed property in her house to the value of over 91,000 and he had no other appar ent motive but his hatred of tho rich and his principles of anarchism. He Is charged with mutilating a vahiable oil painting entitled "The Holy Fami ly." It is alleged that he cut off the arm of tho Virgin, represented in the painting, and slashed the figure of the child Christ in a way that suggested his desire to show his hatred of things re ligious. He is a small man, with low forehead. Mrs. Bryson told the magis trate that she and her sister lived alone In the house, and became alarmed at tho presence of the man, who continued his work of polishing. She said that when they addressed a remark to him he would reply in vile language, and they would be obliged to seek the se clusion of their rooms. He had com plete run of the house. When spoken to on Aug. 6 he answered with an oath. A few moments later they saw him leave the house, and, going upstairs, discovered the mutilation of the pic ture. He has been arrested. MRS.

There Is not a great deal of change In deep mourning from year to year. Henrietta cloth reigns supreme a3 the correct mourning fabric, while crape veils of varied lengths proclaim the relative mourned as plainly as the death notice of parent or husband. In the deepest mourning the Henrietta cloth costumes made absolutely plain are the correct ones to wear. After three months crepe trimmings may be used; at six months entire gowns of crepe are considered quite possible. Widows' mourning is the deepest, but the last year or two It has been the fashion (as it has been from time im memorial In England) to wear the sheer white turned-over collars and cuffs, which are so becoming, and lighten the dead black. The white rucho In side the bonnet Is supposed to be the widow'B cap, which at one time was al ways worn; now caps, even for old ladles, are out of fashion, bo that the ruche is merely symbolical. For a father or mother the mourning Is almost as deep as for a husband, but the veil Is not so long, nor Is the mourning worn for the same 6pace of time. All mourning is now laid aside much sooner than was formerly lhe case, a year to wear the long veil being quite the limit. It Is difficult to have crepe bonnets becoming, but there is no reason- why they should not be made so if only care be taken to have th6 bonnet shape fit quite close to the head. The folds of the veil will give all the height that is necessary, and any fancy shape only looks grotesque under the tin A SUMMER GOWN. crepe. When the mourning is first light ened and the veil thrown back a few so't bows on the top of the hat are added, and give a smarter look. Many veils of nuns' veiling and of ejft, heavy Bilk tissue a sort of grena dine am how used, always with the face veil of net with the crepe border; for wet weather they are very much the best. Ex. , Borne Dainty Designs. While every thought Is given to the1 decking of the body for street wear it will be well to turn a few stray thoughts In the direction of some of the exquisite ly chic and dainty night robeg being sent over for our Inspection. The soft est of soft India Bilks and the finest of fine batistes are used for the smartest of these, and whole pieces of ribbon and the loveliest of delicate laces are lav ished on them. The batiste gowns are cspoeially lovely and launder in tho best poslble way. Very, very pretty ones are made of this stuff In a Boft creamy tint, with tho narrowest of Valenciennes lace set In at the Beams. Some sort of an odd, full collar flares out over the big bishop Bleeves, which usually reach to the elbow and are fin ished by a frill of lace. The big sleeves are drawn In nt the wrist by ribbons ran through the open work lace, and mm fastened In a bow on the top of the arm. In the samo way the collar Is drawn in at the throat and fastened In a full bow In front. When the tan-tinted batistes are used tho lace matches !n color, while the ribbons may be of a ly Bhade desired. Robes de rhambro of silk are dainty enough for a princess to wear. They are made In the Mother Hubbard shape with deep oval yokes, all lace lnser- tton. iet together with narrow satin ribbons, ending with a bow at tach row and edged all about with a deep frill of lace. Sometimes there is a collar In sailor shape, or one set together In deep points, made of white moussellno de sole, set together with tucked frills. Jabots of lace reach from throat to hern, with here and there full knots of rib bon. A wonderfully lovely robe of empire silk in pale rose pink and white stripe an Inch wide is made up with pellssed frills of white moussellne do sole and a tucked yoke of the same. Yellow, In the pale, soft shades, Is a favorite color for brunettes, but Is worn beautifully by pale-sklnned blondes as well. Full chout of satin ribbon in baby width are tucked in among the frills with pretty effect. Chicago Chronicle. A ayniphony in Green, The social season Is again In full swing after the lenten lull. Easter gowns and bonnets have been worn and are now familiar. We are used to the flower-garden appearance of our thoroughfares. It no longer surprises us to Fee a woman dressed In vivid pur plo or grass green or bright yellow. Somber colors appear dead In our eyes. Our curiosity regarding color is sated and we now turn our attention to form. We find that skirts will generally be flounced, sleeves are large, bodices will bo divided If not by Jacket fronts, by a trimming which gives that effect. Neck trimmings are aggressive nnd higher than ever, although It Is to bo hoped that this mode will change be fore the hot weather Is fairly upon us. A Fifth avenue belle, who is already preparing her summer outfit, has a gown which Is a perfect symphony In green. The gored eklrt is of pale green batiste the sheerest linen batiste on which Is a delicate line of white. About the bottom a row of batiste rosettes, resembling fall roses, encircles the gown. A tiny cord of dark green velvet outlines each seam of the skirt and that material also enters into the designing of the bodice. Straps of It appear on each side, the front and down the sleeve puffs. The sleeves are curious, for each strap of velvet was edged one side with a laco ruche, an upstanding ruche which increased the apparent bIzo ol the sleeves. Finlshlng each strap of velvet on the bodice was a tiny Jabot of wider lace and down tho front at regular intervals were Uiree rosejtes, shnilar to those on the skirl, but of velvet.

A fifty-mile race over mountain trails for a 12,000,000 mine wai au exciting adventure participated in by two miners recently In connection with the opening of the Colvlllo reservation In eastern Washington, says the San Francisco Chronicle. Tho necessary notices were posted, first by John Mc Cool, representing the Coleman syndl cate, composed largely of federal office holders. It includes Hugh Wallace, a national democratic committeeman Judge Drinker, federal district at torncy here; F. C. Robertson, his as elstant; federal office-holder at Port Townsend and Spokane, besides John J. Malone and other prominent Tacoma democrats. Judge Coleman lives at Port Townsend. Some tlmo ago Cole man became Interested In the Le Fleur copper and Eilver claim, on the Colvlllo reserve, fifty miles from Marcus, on the Spokane & Northern tailroad. Lo Fleur Is a Frenchman, who discover ed tho claim years ago, and he haa been watching It ever since. Coleman filed eight claims on tho property, but the Russell syndicate, headed by Col J. N. Russell of Spokane, promptly filed claims over his. A contest en- susued, which is now in the courts. The Coleman syndicate prepared a bill for the opening of the reservation and sent Influential democrats to Washing ton to push Its passage through con gress. It passed Feb. 15. Colemac Immediately wont to the mine. The rights of the "sooners" being question ed, it was decided that a man must be stationed at Marcus to receive the news of the president's signing the bill and then ride as fast as he could for the claim. The other morning McCool was at Marcu3 awaiting such a tele gram from Washington. The Russell syndicate, equally clever, had Mark Gilmaln at Marcus to perform a simi lar service. Early In tho afternoon the expected telegrsm came. McCool and Gilmaln started at a break-neck pace on their lonely fifty-mile race. Each covered tho distance in less than five hours. Gilmaln got there first, but he did not post any notices. Judge Coleman was in possession. He had with him an Indian and an Irishman and they wero prepared to use artillery If needed to keep unwelcome visitors away. Gilmaln is quoted as stating that he did not post any notices, be cause he did not wish to get shot. McCool Boon camo up and Immediately put up notices. The Le Fleur claim la situated on Fourth of July creek and la said to be the richest claim in the re gion. It Is estimated to bo worth S2, 000,000 as it stands. A V.-pera Death.
