An imposing butler ad xnltted me. I looked to see him change tountenanee when I asked for afsds xnoiselle Chrysanthe. but he bowed im 3?jassively and ushered me luto a splen? did and lavish drawing-room. Jardi aderes of chrysanthemums stood about ?nd a long mirror at one side repeated Kb-.ir bizarre luxuries of form and -Jnt .My hostess glide*! in.

"You will want ?? see the conservatory. Not at home, JJames! Gome, monsieur!" Th? conservatory was immense and Vluioet entirely devoted to ohrysan hemums. She flitted about among them, bending her dainty head, wit.i ts black Japanese coils ?tuck through r?/ith long, twisted, amber pins. ? Her fascination took violent hold on : aia, her weird, exotic mingling ?>f ex? travagant and exquisite. But she '.would tell me nothing of her identity, Bass would she let me reveal my own. "No, no, monsieur. This and this," ouching two splendid blooms, "need . iO names. Nor do we." As I neared the door at last to take esva, half-suffn? aied with her witi-h ."?riea?"I love you!" I said, abruptly. She listened, silent, smiting, un noved. 1 caught her roughly about the fatati "Stop! Stop! I will call James!" "I will come to-morrow," I said, and left her On the morrow I found her in the ftvish draw inn room. She had given he placa an ace. at of royal, gracious SSlaosaS by massing everywhere chry? santhemums ?it every tone and hue of .mrple. She herself was gowned in asasptuoaa purple rslvet, asorasd with ialls of prici :;u>re mature, ample sad majestic presases than I load dreanned she could be. I was per ? aaaUtt?! io siay ipnc; ami talk or. ever* ?opio, but the forbidden ones of her ideni ity and mine I kissed her hard -it parting. The third ttnie I went resolved t<: disco?er who she was and whether she reciprocated my passion I no ?.???^? recoguued tnyse'f. l was wild about her. I found her robed in the very garb of passion??list? nini; red silk, barbar ically spl?n?'id. Vith ???????? f?tfl ture of rubies and diamonds. About tie room, here ami there, a single crimson hrysanthernuni echoed the note ul her poignant personality. Awhile ?die elud? ed me. lithe and slender as Hanie; but at last my pleading touched her. "I believe you do love me!" she cried. Her superb bosom swelled against its jewelled barrier. "? love you more than life! Who ever and whatever you are, I love you!" She gave herself to my arms aad my lips had their will. "But you don't know who I am!" she laughed, escaping. "You are my wife to be! I have told you that the name cf my family is honorably known to every man in the street. And our wealth is equal tc our honor. Will you hear my name and tell me yours to-night.." "Not to-night." she said, and het ryes srew suddenly dark and terrible. "Not to-night! To-morrow! But do not come till night!" Un the morrow night she was not in the drawing room when I entered. White chrysanthemums clustered in every available place, large, loose crinkly-petalled abandon or delica'e staid reserve. I was vexed to see among them her favorite pied variety, white petals splashed and streake?! with red. Then she came, a seductive bridal vision in floating, glimmering white. I sprang forward. "Wait!" She threw up her hand for? biddingly. H??r voice was clear and dulcet and self-i?<?ss<?.<s?Mi "I am Christine Tyrone." "Impossible!'' I gasped.

The youngest British admiral is only eight months old. The infant marquis of Donegal is the hereditary lord high admiral of Lough Neagh, but the office carries with it neither emoluments nor duties. It is an obsolete naval command, which dates from the time of Queen Eliz? abeth, when It was necessary to maintain a naval force on Lough Neagh to over? awe the natives of Tyrone, Derry, Armagh and Antrim, with whom several actions were fought.

MARTI! tells your entire life past and present and future in a DEAD TRA??C'B, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name be? fore marriage, the names of t>U yuur family, their ages? and descrinti?in, the name and busi? ness of your present husband, the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who now calls on y?>a, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and rear of your marriage, how ninny children you have of will have ; whether your present sweetheart will be true tw you and fne wil marry you : if you have no sweetheart ?he will teil yoii when vou will have one and his name, ! business and date of acquaintance. All your' future will be told in an honest, clear and plain manner ?nil in a ?lead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children ; young ladi?v should know everything 1 about their sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into hase- i li..--s until you know all, do not let silly relig? ious -?Tuple? prevent your consulting. Madame is tne only one'in the world who can tell you the full name of your future husband with age and date of marrie rei, and tells wheth er the ..ne you love is true c r false. Ther?. are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gain? i from consulting a Melilim, but such beliefs re contrary to the truth. It is only from the ?ok of discrimina? tion that sucb^ a conclusion an be reached. It Is not ??very one who placai-ds himself or her? self as a aaadtSOSI that ?Tan stand the test of what he or she claims. And * person of an inquiring mind may ask She reason why. It is simply tli at these adver? tisers do not take the trouble to study human nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phraseology and kin?lred branches Chat will have a tendency to make flie pathway to the road of the busi? ness clear and devoid of all ohstat?es. It is and undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as sboii as they confront a medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To cet the secret out of a person by unfair and dishonest means is the art used by many unprincipled Mediums, but to take hold of the hand ??a gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Mrs. jfarth the seemingly mystery become? a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even collean uroR-ssors. So it proves conclusively that anBotBM>Stbere are iaf ringers in ?mr midst with oiky falHruoa, perhaps the gatee of wisdom have un*, been aloaed to the entire profession a takes a great deal of s?udv to become an n*?pli ihril mediani and bv a aaaBJBlSMBM and aatirlnr effort, the key to the weSaVr apparent? ly unJatkoaiabla ?aysteritts has often secured by ?Kb.
