"YeB, I love you," »he continued
proudly. "Whose is the sin? Is it
mine, because I, your wife, have to
tell you this, and you feel surprised? I

As she said the words she fell-upon

and she had fallen upon It.
He was touched. He could not tol

but she "was young, beautiful, loving.
Her crime had been committed
through love of him. He raised her

Hildred atood quite still, looking al
most helplessly at him.
"You do not seem to realize or to
know ywhat you have done," he said,
hastily.
"I do—Ido!" she moaned "and there
will be no pardon. I wish that I might
fling myself into that lake. I would,
but that there is a life to come."
"Hildred," said the earl sternly,
^"listen to me. I have told you that
you must never re-enter my doorS but
you bear my name and for my name's
sake I will shield you. The Countess
of Caraven may have done wrong, but
the world must not know it I must
save you from'the consequences of your
mad folly. See—I went quietly to you*

He gave her a cloak and a bonnet with
thick veil. "I found them in your

She drew nearer to him,
"I love you as no one else ever will—
as no woman has ever loved you—
partly because I could not help loving
you, and partly because I have helped
to awaken the better nature within you.
You may live many years, happy, flat
tered, but no love like mine will ever
reach you the wife you are sending
from you is the dearest and truest
friend you have." £•£.
He looked terrl'blj^ dlstressecl.
"Why did you not tell me this be
fore, Hildred?" he asked.
"I tell you? How little you know
tne! Was it my place to go to the hus
band who neglected me and plead for
his caresses, for his love? I could
have died a thousand deaths first. How
little you know mo! 1 should not tell

"No, you can never re-enter

did so when I took poor Lady Hamilton
back to the castle. I told our guests
that you had been suddenly sent for
by your father, that I had driven you'
to the station—and it is to your
father's bouse you must go."
"Very well," she said, drearily.
"You do not seem to understand,"
fre remarked, dharply "do you know
the danger, the peril that hangs over
you?"
She did not, but of what use was it
to say so?
"Try to collect yourself and under

"Yes what must I say to my father?"
she asked.
"You had better tell him the truth.
He is a quick, keen man of the world

should be done. Tell him all."
^Yes," she replied, mechanically.
"Now hasten away from here, Hil
dred," he said. "I am in mortal fear.
You understand all. You know the
road to Worseley—it is direct—you
take the high road without turning.
Good-bye."
a
She raised her dark, sad eyes to his
face all the love, the passion, the re
gret that she could not put into words,
was revealed in them. V:
"Good-bye," she repeated.
He did not hold out his hand'to her.
Had he been speaking to the merest
Btranger, his voice could not have been
colder or more stern. Then he turned
quickly away, and Lady Caraven walk
ed across the coppice and through a
lane into the high road. She walked
quite mechanically. She had to go to
Worseley, to take a ticket to London,
and then go to her father's house. She
repeated the words over and over again
to herself, like a child who dreads for
getting a lesson. Her face was deadly
pale her limbs trembled with cold.
The golden stars shone down upon her
the night winds whispered round her.
She walked on, unconscious of it all.
It was the early dawn of morning
when she reached the station—a large
railway junction where she was both
unknown and unnoticed. The train
started for London in half an
hour. No one spoke to her or appear
ed to see her as she took her place, and
in a few minutes more she was on her
way.
It was a hard punishment—terribly
hard for such a trifle, she thought, won
dering that the earl could be so stern.
She was tired, fatigued with passion
arid emotion. She had neither eaten,
drank nor slept aince the evening be
fore. When she reached London she
asked a porter to call a cab for her,
and gave the address—"Mr. Ransome,

On this morning he had seatfed him

It was a sudden shock to him, when,,
on hearing a sound, he raised his eyes
to the door, and saw there a pale,
beautiful woman, who stood wringing
her hands.

cloak! What could it mean?
"I—I am glad to see you, my dear."
he said but he had a horrible fore
boding that something terrible haa oc
curred, and that the days of his great
ness had vanished. "Come in—pray
come in, my dear, do not stand there.
How strange you look! Where is Cara
ven? Dear, dear, how odd It Is! Come
In Hildred—the servants will think it
strange to see you standing there."
She entered the room and walked
to him with haughty mien.
"Sit down, my'dear, sit down there
Is nothing so horrible as a 'scene,'
and this looks like one. Take oft your
cloak and your bonnet. What a strange
headdress!"
She unfastened the thick traveling
cloak,and there in picturesque disarray
was the rich evening-dress of amber
and black, with a faded crimson flower
clinging to it. The lawyer looked on
in utter dismay. This disregard for
dress and appearances spoke more
forcibly than anything else could have
done-—told more plainly than words
that something dreadful had happened.
"Evening toilet, Hildred! Pray, my
dear, put on your cloak again. I did
not know—I was not prepared—put it
on quickly, before any of the servants
come in. What is it, Hildred? What
is the matter?" Vv
"Not much, father," slid replied,
drearily "my marriage has not turned
out well, and I am come home, you
see."
"But that is nonsense—you cannot
come home. What is the matter? Tell
me," and the lawyer, with a very re
signed expression of face put away his
pate de foie gras, and folded his arms
to listen to his daughter's story.
"You have quarreled with the earl,
I hope—that is, you have not left him?"
"He has sent me away," she replied,
and" Arley Ransome's face grew very
dark.
"There is not much to tell," she con
tinued, wearily. "You misled me—you
told me that marriage could be happy
without love. find that love is the
soul of it, that without love marriage
Is like a (Jead body. I being weaker
and inferior was the first to learn to
love. I learned to love my husband—
he has never cared for me."
"You are too sentimental, Hildred,"
said Arley Ransome, severely.
"I have been doing my best for my
husband," she continued." and we were
growing happier. In time I think that
he would have loved me but someone
else, a fair woman—one of the kind of
women that he admires—Lady Hamil
ton, came, and—"
"I see," said the lawyer "the old
story—jealousy and quarreling. Surely,
Hildred, you have not thrown away the
labor of a lifetime by growing jeal
ous and vexing the earl?"
"I have done worse than that," she
said, "far worse. I was jealous of Lady
Hamilton. I thought that both she
and my husband were deriding me.
I followed them when they went out to
see the sun set over the lake. I hid
myself behind the alder-trees to listen
if they said anything about me and
then-—I cannot tell how it happened—
my husband saw me. He was very
angry he said I was never to enter
his doors again, but to return home at
once to you."
The lawyer's face cleared.
"You are quite sure that you have
told me the whole truth?" he said.
"Yes, quite sure. What should I
keep from you? It seems a very hard
punishment for what was merely a
fault rather of judgment than anything
else. I told the earl I loved him and
that jealousy had driven me mad."
"You told him that? Then rely upon
it in a few days ail will be well. He
will forget his anger and come to find
you."
"I do not think so," she returned.
"You are quite sure, Hildred, that
you have hidden nothing from me?"
he interrogated adding, "It is, as you
say, severe punishment for so small a
fault."
She looked up at him in surprise.
"What can I have to hide, papa? In
telling you of my love, and my Jeal
ousy, I have told you the worst."
"Then all will come right again. In
the meantime, keep up appearances,
go to your room unobserved and wait
until your luggage arrives. I shall say
that you are come In for a few days'
change. Keep up your spirits all will
come right again. I am sure."
"I am very tired, papa," she said. "I
think I will stay In my room today."

A Wet Conntiy.
The railroad which, with Its
branches, connects Colombo, the cap
ital of Ceylon, with the interior of the
island is remarkable for the engineer
ing skill shown in its construction, and
for its prosperity.lt makes an ascent
of thirty-five hundred feet by a suc
cession of loops and curves, with here
and there a tunnel. The chief difficul
ty in running the railroad is due to the
way in which the rain comes down. A
recent book of travel, "A Run Round
the Empire," describes what the rain
did to a train crawling up the moun
tainside. On December 27,1896, eleven
and a half inches of rain fell in twen
ty-four hours. The engineer of a traia
saw that beyond a certain tunnel the
line was washed away. He stopped the
train, and the passengers got out One
of them, seeing stones rolling down
the mountainside above them, advised
the engineer to push for the tunnel.
Just as the train entered the tunnel,
down came a huge mass of rock, which
carried away the embankment, as well
as the last car of the train—a goods
van, fortunately. Close behind the
tunnel the ends of the rail were hang
ing free oyer a precipice, and a similar
condition existed not far ahead. A
messenger came down from a planter's
bungalow above the tunnel to say that
water was accumulating in the cut
ting in front, and that if it broke
through the debris which served as a
dam it would wash the train out of the
tunnel. The passengers hastened td
leave.thecars, and in walking through'
the water in the cutting found it up to
their breasts.

of over 25,000 camels. Several thousands

expensive luxuries. The sultan of
Turkey Is a most costly article of
bric-a-brac, especially for a bankrupt
nation. The cost of the mere neces
saries of life Tor him and his house
hold amounts to about ?7,500,000 a
year. This seems an enormous gro
cery and butcher's bill, but It must be
remembered, that, Including his 300
brevet wives, the palace eunuchs, and
the servants and officers of the im
perial household, no less than 6,000
people are catered for daily when Ab
dul Hamld is "in residence" at Yildiz
or Dolma Bagtche palace. Enopnous
quantities of bread are consumed by
the sultan and his household, th$ pal
ace bakeries turning out no less than
18,000 pounds daily. The bakery staff
is a small army, for, besides the bak
ers, there are the buyers and the
slaves who purchase the flour and rye
and the fuel for the fires. One ton of
rice is used daily in making the Inev
itable "pillaf" or pilau without which
no Turk thinks he has really made a
meal. This dish consists of rice boil
ed with mutton, kid or fowl, and fla
vored with raisins, spices, butter and
the cook only knows what else. Then
there are consumed daily 600 pounds
of sugar and a like amount of coffee,
not to mention huge quantities of
other groceries, fruit and vegetables.
The water for the household is brought
to the palace in great round casks
from two streams which empty into
the Bosporus.
As every part of the Turkish admin
istration is nearly as rotten as Tam

little doubt that a portion of this enor

In the shape of food. The sultan him
self is a small eater. His breakfast
consists of fruit, coffee and a roll, and
at luncheon he eats pilau, fruit and
some sweets. He seldom drinks spirit
uous liquors, but indulges in large
quantities of sherbet and eats an in
credible amount of ice cream. All the
food for the sultan is prepared by one
man alone, and is cooked in dishes of

important traits is the power of mak

Each dish is sealed when it leaves the
kitchen, and when brought on the
table the seal is broken in the sultan's
presence by the chamberlain. In or
der to test the food for poison, the
chamberlain takes a spoonful out of
each dish before his imperial master
touches it. The food always is served
to the sultan in the same dish in
which it is cooked, and the padishah
eats out of the dish with his fingers,
never using a plate or a knife or fork
except on occasions when he has some
foreigners to dinner with him. Some
times he will use a spoon, but prefers
his fingers to all extraneous aids to
dining. As each course is served two

Through Sunday Vandals.
Antiquaries will read with mingled
satisfaction and regret that the Ro

Hous'teads, has been closed to the pub

it down the neighboring ravine. The
great wall has already suffered more
than, enough spoliation. The farm

built with stones taken from this very
