(ME WOMAN'S TEEAOKEEY.

A Story of a Whisper.

"When the sun sets, Leat the stile, by he cross-road.- "

The people were pouring out of St.Jame's Church ; the chief church ofthe large town of Richborough. Theorganist was playing some sad, fitfulchords, something from the Messiah ;

land undervoover of their meltingsweetness, the audacious whisperer, a

; young and handsome man, had bentforward to make this appointment.

The two young ladies, to one ofwhom he had spoken, were walkingdown the aisle side by side. DorothySfariia . fnr whnm flip tvhlcnpr trss- "." .- W S.. .'.. - . rf

undoubtedly intended, glanced up amute look of assent through her gold-en curls. But it chanced that theother lady heard it too, for her earswere subtle, and a dark clood driftedover the sunshine of her face ; her lit-

tle hand clenched itself spasmodical-ly under the rioh lace of her shawl.She fell back a step, and glancedcoldly into the gentleman's face. Hewas holding his hat in his glovedhand, and he bowed ceremoniously ashis eyes met hers. At least, as cere-moniously as one can bow, comingou; of church.

"Good morning, tli&s Lawrence,"he sid, distantly ; and just then theyemerged from the aisle to the vesti- -

bule. Miss Lawrence held out a tinybend, which he could not do otherwise than take.

He released it immediately, notL.aK--, ..i ...XreveaKe?. Qur forefathers uedjxhe-laijsie- r

,.i;..4CTfcX- -r UAUU.. was not to oe so repulsed. It fluttered to his arm, andrested there, just one finger being onthe coat cuff.

"There is such a throng," murmur-ed the Idy in au entreating tone ofapology; and people never mindwhere they pat their feet. I am suremy flounces will be in rags.

Mr. Hastings perhaps anathematiz-ed first the crowd and next the per-i-hab- le

tlounees :. but what could hedo, save take the girl under his wing?Dorothy looked back and saw himcoming down the steps with the beau-tiful heiress hanging on his arm inthat frighened, appealing, clingingmanner, which she knewso well howto put on. But Dorthy only smiledand nodded brightly: she felt per-fectly secure in the love of Dean Has-tings, after that sweet whisper.

Eaeh of these three people, whenonce in the open air, went their wayhomeward in the mellow and brightOctober sqnshine. --Out not beforeMiss Lawrence had detained DeanHastings for a chat.

"Are you particularly engaged thisafternoon, Mr. Hastings?"

"Yes, I am. I am going out oftown at once to see a sick friend, andshall not be beck before nine o'clock."

"Nine o'clock ?" she repeated, mus-ingly, "Well, that will be timeenough. Papa wishes to see you, ifyou can call."

"But I oh. very well broke ofTMr.Hastings. "Tell him, if you pleasethat I will endeavor to come."

Within the shade of her own cham-ber, Annabella Lawrence threw offher hat, and grasped at the lace collar around her throat as If it werechoking her. She paced up anddown then, pausing before the pier-glas- s,

she bent forward and looked atherself long and earnestly. Her darkhair was silky, her black eyes flashedfire.

"Youth and beauty will work won-ders for their possessor. But whathave they done for me? They can-

not win for me the love I need thelove he gives that pale, spiritlessworking-gir- l. Ah! it makes me sickto think of her! I Jmow he cares forher and does ho think I do not seettfat he cares not for me? It is herfault. But for her, he would turn tome and love me. Oh, Dean, Dean, Ilove yon Why do you not see it ?or do you see it, and yet will not re-

spond to it?"She threw her arms up with a pas-

sionate gesture of sorrow and thenbent her head on her hands in pain.

"If I find if I find," she resumed,lifting her pale face, 4,that he caresfor her seriously that he neglects mefor her, I swear that both shall suffer

he as well as she. I swear it !"Anything more vindictive than the

tone of her emphatic words, than theexpression of her pale face, wasnever seen or heard. BellaLawrencewas not a girl to be crossed lightly."Her face, sufficiently beautiful whenshe was at restorin her tender moods,wa3 half diabolical now. Her great,dark eyes flashed fiercely, a hot flushburned on her soft, round, olivecheeks, and through her full,"red lipsher sharp-pointe- d, white teeth gleam-ed craftily. It was no fable that inher school-day- s she had been niek--

'.

named "the Cat," and that her com- -nauions had iriven her full credit forall a cat's spiteful nature when ang-

ered. She and Dorothy Stevens hadbeen educated at the same school theone was a rich heiress, the other wasto be only a governess. Dora was Ina family now, and Mis3 Lawrencecondescended to speak to her now andthen when they met.

Bella walked to the window, andstood looking thoughtfully out. Whata lovely scene it was The house'stood on the outskirts of the town ;hill and vale lay stretched out beforeher, and waving woodlands tintedwith autumn's unrivalled colors.Along the line of the river, spires andclustered chimneys marked the siteof her father's factories mile-ston- es

on the road to wealth. "It is allmine," she murmured. "It will bemine in time, and I would give it allto him with this," lifting her hand."I would give it to him, and he rejectsit."

Yes: if Miss Lawrence could readsigns, Dean Hastings would rejecther band were it offered him. Butshe was not sure not quite. Againher quick mood changed. The flushdied out of her cheek, and tearscrowded into her proud, dark eyes."Dean, Dean, I would give you thetenderest, truest Iovea woman everproffered. Oh, why do you despiseit?"

And yet, who was Dean Hastings ?Nobody. He wa3 a gentleman bybirth, it's true, but he had no meanssave what be earned as one of thechief clerks in this very factory thatof Lawrence Lawrence. His cous-in was a baronet in an adjoiningcounty and Dean was in the best so-

ciety that Richborough afforded."So absurd, so incongruous," tho't

Bella, "for him to notice that stupidgoverness! Who's that?" she rathersharply cried out as a tap was heardat the door. "Oh, what do you want,Pauline?"

The lunch waited. So Miss Law-rence went down with finger on herlip. Her mind was hard at work.

Do you think the father of all wick-edness is in league with such of hischildren as would forward his evil de-

signs on earth? Does he make theway smooth for them when theyabandon themselves to the workingout their fierce passions of hatred and

Ilievein these alliances of earth andthe devil and we are at times fain tobelieve that if the devil be not inleague against us, the good angel whowe love to think watches over us is attimes far off very, very far.

The clock was striking nine thatnight when Dean Hastings was shownin. Bella received him in a small fa-

vorite apartment that she often satin and liked best. The fittings wereof pink silk and laee, the ornamentsscattered about it were rarely beauti-ful. Mr. Lawrence was out. For thatlittle command of her father's trans-mitted to Dean in the morning, hadbeen an invented fable of her own.

She held out her hand to him, andbade him take a chair near her. Hishandsome eyes were fixed deferentially on her face as he obeyed butthere was no warmth in them: therewas not one shadow of tenderness to-

wards her in his manner. Bella'sheart grew faint and her lips coldbut still she hoped against hope; shewould not give-upal- l without a strug-gle. This night should decide the un-

certainty; leave her to happiness orto despair.

The interview lasted half an hour;and what passed between them wasnever known. Probably, in her des-

peration, Annabella Lawrence lethim gather unmistakably that herlove waa his and she did love himwith all the terrible passion of herfierce nature; and he on his side mayhave allowed her to see that he couldnot accept It. He may even havehinted to her that his true affectionswere given to Miss Stevens, the poorgirl-governe- ss, so unjustifiably de-

spised by the great heiress. Any-way, when Dean Hastings quitted therich merchant's house that night Bel-

la knew that her hopes of happinesswere over, that despair had set in.She resolved to live henceforth onlyfor revenge.

Annabella had seen a good deal ofMr. Hastings. It cannot be deniedthat he paid her some attention thathe met her advances if not half way,at least a part of it. But he nevercast a thought to anything seriousthat great heiress, his master's daugh-ter, was not for him to aspire to andit was only lately, when he began todetect somewhat of her true feelingsfor him, that he had drawn in, andbecome cold to her with a purpose.Between that time and this, he hadmet Dorothy Stevens, and learnt tolove her. And now, in her bitterheart, Miss Lawrence was striving tohate him as much as she had lovedhim. She believed he had deliberate-ly played her false; and, as Shaks-pear- e

tells us, Hell has no fury like awoman scorned.

But she did him injustice there.Mr. Hastiugs had never felt love forher, or sought to make her think hedid. Of an extremely modest,

nature, good-looki- ng

though he was, he had deemed thatMiss Lawrence had but flirted .withhini, amused herself with him, just asshe did with a host of other youngmen and so the misapprehensionhad gone, and was bringing troublein its train.

Her hair pushed back, her heartbeating with all its tumultuous andvaried passions, Bella sat on after Mr.Hastings left. The loud opening and j

f closing of the street door, 3nd a swift! footstep on the stairs aroused her. It

was her cousin who entered, oneRichard Lawrence, a young man ofniue-and-twen- ty, who lived withthem. He had a small share in thebusiness, and he hoped, by dint ofplaying his cards well, to succeed to itafter Mr. Lawrence.

Mr. Richard also hoped to succeedto something else Miss Lawrence.He did not love her ; but he did loveher money, for the ruling passion ofhis heart was avarice. If he lovedone person more than another, in waspretty Dora Stevens ; her golden hair

land sweet blue eyes were wont tohaunt him as he sat in the counting-hous- e

over his account-book- s. Buthe said nothing to her, and meantnothing; a poor governess could nev-er be the wife for him ; he wantedone endowed with the mines of Gol-cond- a.

He and his cousin Bella under-stood oua-anothe- That is, she un-

derstood him. She saw that he want-ed her for his wife on account of hermoney ; she knew how abject (withthis aim in view), a skive he was toher, how be bent before all her whim3and caprices, and that she could turnhim round her little finger. On hispart, he suspected her fancy for DeanHastings r fancy, he thought it, nothing moreibut he was outrageouslyjealous of that, and there were mo-

ments whan he wished he could seethat gentleman hanging on the near-est tree ; ay, and could have helped tohang him.

Richard Lawrence did not love Mr.Hastings on his. own score. He wasa little West Indian fellow, with adark face and ungenial manner;whereas Hastings was one of the bestlooking of men, and charmed every-body ; the result being that while the

lone was courted in society, the otheroften found the cold shoulder turnedupon him. And thus Riehard Law-rence was prime for any little bit ofby-pia- y against Hastings that mightbe proposed to him. Not that he ex-

pected any such proposal ; nothingcould be farther from his thoughts. Itcame, nevertheless.

"Why what is the matter, Anna-bella ?"

It was the face of his eoo-i- a thatcalled forth he exclamation. B-l-

la

passed her soft cambric handkerchiefhto w

"Itlmoat wretched Hastings, itehas beeniere insulting uae."

"What!" cried Richard, angrilyrising.

And Miss Bella Lawrence enteredupon a graphic tale. Some little truththere was in It, but the greater por-tion was the concoction of her ownfertile brain. Hastings had dared totalk of love to her, she hinted, whilehe bad unconsciously betrayed thathe was playing fast and loose withDora Stevens villain that he was.And there wus nothing for it but hisbeing sent instantly out of Richbor-ough.

"Instantly!" exclaimed Richard,lifting his head. "But, Bella, I don'tthink he cau be spared.''

"As you please, Dick. I do care forhim a little and perhaps you' knowthat I do. Let him remain here, andI won't answer for what may happen..Some fine uiorning you and papa mayfind he has run away with me. Heis audacious enough for that, or any-

thing else ; and women like audacityin men,yoa-know.- "

Richard Lawrence knitted hisbrows.

"As to that governess girl, be nodoubt fully intends to kidnap her,whether or not ; she's nobody ; pro-

vided he can keep the kuowledgs ofit from me. Wives don't oare to bearthese things, you see. I have some-

times thought you liked the girl a i.t-t- ie

bit, yourself, Riehard.""She's a nice, pleasant little girl

enough," said Riehard. "Honest asthe day, and worthy."

"And friendless," added Bella, withquite a display of benevolent feeling."Well, Riehard, for her sake youshould banish him."

"Let me think It out," said Rich-ard. "I hardly see how it is to bedone. Your father leaves a great dealof control to me, but he does not leaveit af all. And and how long is heto go for?"

"For good,' answered Bella, pas-

sionately. "As I cannot have himshe shall not," she added to herself;and her face for the moment wore thefierceness of a tiger's. "Why cau'tyou send him out to your cotton plan-

tations in the Barbadoes, Richard !""Because because I don't know

why. It has never been thought of,Bella; he has been too useful wherehe is."

"Has anyone gone out to take theplace of the chief clerk there, whodied?"

"Not yet. Proctor is partly prom-

ised it."Their eyes met. Proctor was the

chief clerk immediately under Hast--

ings ; why not substitute the one forfor the other? It was the questionthat Richard was reading in her fix-

ed look." "J would ; jJTd be glad to be rid ofthe fellow," said Richard, answeringthe gaze. - "But these appointmentsdo not Ke with me. Your father hasalways made them. Hush ! here hecomes."

Mr. Lawrence cams In slowly. Inwalking across the room t an easychair, Bella saw that he limped.

"Are you not well, papa ?"Anything but that, I am afraid

my dear. I am in for a fit of the goutasain. unless I am creathr mistaken.My foot has given me twinges all day ;

and now I can hardly bear it. Re--member Richard ; if I do get laid up,you must not bother me as you did

, last time, bringing all sorts of trifles tome you must act for yourself. Youare as capable as I am."

A faint sound of exultation, sup-pressed instantly, broke from Bella'slips. This threatened illness, this ex-

tension of power to Richard, seemedto be happening on purpose.

urely the devil did appear to be ini league with these good people! Forwith the morning Mr. Lawrence wasplunged deep into an agonizing fit ofthe gout, could not leave his bed, andhis servants were running all overRichborough for the most able physi-cians.

"Is that you, Mr.Hastings? Comehere."

The speaker was Richard Lawrence.He sac in the post of honor, in thecounting house ; and Dean, as h en-

tered, in obedience to the mandate,saw it with some surprise ; for thatplace belonged only to the head andchief.

"Yon are a little lata this morning.""lam; it is a quarter past nine.',

replied Dean, good-humored- ly.

"Truth is, I got an Important letterfrom an old college chum, and waitedto answer it."

Ay ; one generally gets hindered atthe wrong moment," observed Rich-ard with a pleasant smile. "I wantyou to get off to the station and takethe ten o'clock train for Liverpool."

"Are you joking, Lawrence ?""Not a bit of it. There's something

wrong about the cargo of cotton justin, and you must go down to seeabout it. I snouid have gone myselfbut for the governor's illness. He ia

in for a fit of the gout again, and Imust stay here to take his place."

Dean's face wore a blank look. "Iwish I had known of this before."

"No doubt. I knew nothing aboutit til! the letters got in this morning.The governor'ordered me not to both-er him with trifles, but I thought heought to know something about this."As you can't go yourself, seid he,'you must send Hastings down. Lethim be off by the first train.' So youhave no time to lose, yeu see.

Yes, his Satanic Majesty was certain-ly at work ; for it was a positive factthat this news about the cargo of oot-to- n

was no fabie, and that somebodyhad tojjft to Liverpool. Apcr fntnany soheming, that somebody wouidthold' aTTti commenced amanceevre toprobably have been Dean Hastings.

"When the sun sets be at the stileby the cross road."

It was this remembered sentencewhich was troubling his mind. Dorawould go to the trystius: place thisevening, and go in vain. Legitimatecommunication between herself andhim was difficult at times ; but nowhe had no time to plan for or risk it.He glanced at the clock hanging overthe desk. 2w ; there was just timefor him to dash home to his lodgings,tumble a few things into a portman-teau, and dash up to the station.

"Well, I suppose I must be off,then." What are my instructions?"

lI am writing them down foryou."

Perhaps the word "writing" inspir-ed Denn with an idea ; or, perhaps itwas the little delay. Seizing paperand pen, he began a note to Dora.Then be hesitated, wondering howhe should get it conveyed to her. Hishead seemed in a whirl an unusualthing. Richard was writing fast, andthe noise worried him. Scratch !

scrateh ! Tick ! tick ! How thathorrid clock hurried the minutesaway. If he could only stop It. If hecould only put out bis hand and stopthose bits of steel which wer-- whirl-ing his time away so fast. If he couldonly stop time itself. But bo! Thenanother idea struck him ; and hewrote rapidly and fastened up thenote.

"Here," said Richard, handing hima folded paper, with some money."Good luck to you, Hastings and don'tlose more time."

Richard seemed so gracious at thatmoment, that Dean was wonderingwhether he might not trust him withthe note's delivery the idea whichhad been floating with uncertaintythrough bis mind. He looked at himthen glanced at the note, and lookedagain.

"Can I do anythiag for yeu ?" ask-ed Riehard, blandly.

'Well, you can Lawrence. I think Ican trust you ; though I am trulysorry to give you tha trouble. Youknow the Calloways well aad Doro-thy Stevens the governess ; if you'dnot mind calling there and puttingthis into her hand privately. I shouldbe truly obliged."

"Alfright," said Richard, holdingout his hand for the note.

"But you must let her have it be-

fore five o'elok this afternoon ; that'sindispensable."

Richard Lawrence nodded as he slip-ped the note into his pocket. AndDean Hastings made airspeed for thetrain.

"Tell Mr.-- Lawrence how sorry Iam that be is ill," he waited to say."I hope he will soon be up again."

As to Richard, he found a minuteto run to Miss Lawrence to reportprogress ; and he showed her thenote.

" I'll undertake that," said Bella."Give it to me."

ills Balloon Implodes 300 Poet in theAir.

From the Abingdon (Va.) Standard.Glade Springs, in this county, was

on Monday thronged from ail parts ofthe surrounding country to witnessthe balloon ascension. According toannouncement, the traveling show ofProf. H. Huffman made Its appear-ance and prepared for exhibition.The large iron furnace was put towork, and the balloon hoisted over itby means of two poles on either side,forty feet high. The balloon was in-

flated by means of wood and keroseneail, with a small quantity of gasolineadded. When it was filled as usual,Mr. Hainur, the seronaut, was informed, but he said, "I want moregas this time." Two pints more ofoil were put In, and when exhausted,the damper to the furnace was shutdown. Then be jumped into his po-

sition, and like an arrow the great airship shot upward, carrying its humanfreight dangling at its end. It hadascended some three hundred feet,and while the actor was performingon a horizontal bar, hanging by hisfeet with his head down, waving hishandkerehief to the nervous audi-ence below, tbepatehed and dilapida-ted 'canvas split from bottom to topwith a report that was heard milesaway. No sooner had the gas escapedthan the balloon collapsed and Gameshooting down as swiftly as it haddarted up. The aeronaut saw his situation, and quick as lightning turnedhimself np and regained his hand- -

dofkre a teiesraoh wire and cost toward which he was falling. This heseeeded in doing, striking theground with terrible force, whichbounced him np, to be caught andpressed down by the balloon. AHtnJa wafi the work of a raoment. Thecrowd was literally paralyzed, womensiekeniag and fainting, and men una-ble, in their horror, to move. Thecompanions of the unfortunate manstood riveted to the ground, aad noten til some citiaeBs undertook to movethe canvas, did they stir. The manwas found to be alive and conscious,bet dreadfully bruised sb1 mangled.He was through it all calm and cool,and described his feelings, as, de-

scending, he saw and felt death star-ing him ia the face. He wa3 taken tothe hotel, wher both Mr. and Mrs.Thompson did all in their power torelieve his saSeriug?. With all theaid nothing eottid be accomplished,and at 11:30 o'clock p. ru. be paid the !

penalty of death for his recklessness.His name is Frank Hainur, fromWarren. Ohio. Hfe father, we hear,has been for yeaas a book-keep- er forPackard & Barn urn, hardware merch-ants at that place.

The 3aarac Lying Club's meetingsare reported in the Austin (Nev.)BeveiUe. The members are very ableliars, according to what we read aboutthem. One of th-e- stood up in a re-

cent meeting and said : -- 'The tele-graph company are now using thequadruples system over the Virginiaand Salt Lake circuit, by means ofwhich four messages may be sentsimultaneously over a single wire.The increased strain on the wire isnot visible here in Austin, but I wasout at Dry Creek yesterday, and inthat vicinity the wire was just hum-ming itself, aad groaning and strain-ing, and dropping wordsoff in chunks.I examined the wire, and found aknot in it, and came to the conclusionthat a quadruplex message had stuckat that point. I tried to straightenthe wire out, bet a seetion of an ac-

count of a battle between the Turksand the Russians stmek me on theear and knocked me down, and I con-elud- ed

that it was not advhe&ie to foolwith the thing."

The English language has been con-

siderably abused within recent times,not by youthful poets and occasionalcorrespondents aloue, but by scholarsand men of letters. Among its manyfaults of omission aad commissionthis poor unfortunate language is ac-

cused of having no personal pronounof common gender. People are con-stantly making grammatical blundersia consequence. For example, "Ever v pMgr a entering IM3 carmust show their ticket." It i3 awk-ward to say his or her ticket. Yearsago it appears that some linguisticgenius suggested that "am" be usedfor the common gender. A Westernliterary club, ia discussing the ques-tion, presented the following exam-pi- es

:No member of the school can see--

Perhaps "um" is a3 good a word a!any other. If any person is dissatlsfied with the language as it now standiwe should recommend nm to adopMU

Nbw Madrid, September 18. Thrfriver monster which has been seen a!so many differeatpoints above berljcreating great consternation and de-

vouring horses and cattle thatswinithe river, has undoubtedly reachedthis neighborhood, and there is con-siderable excitement over its arrival.This iaorniug, about S o'clock, whilethe ferry-boa-t, which odntained twowagoas and three horsemen, waicrossing to the eastern shore, andwhile in the middle of the river;there wa a violent shaking of theboat, the movement being so sudden,that one man wHo was seated on thegunwale was thrown into the waterbut, grasping the side of the boot, waidrawn in with no further damagethan a thorough drenching: Thefirst sh' k was tremulous, like th3motion of an earthquake, but thesecond lifted the boat clear from thwater and almost capsised it, thehorses retaining a standing positionwith the utmost difficulty. The wa-

ter was agitated aa if by a whirlpool;the waves breaking up two feet highand washing clear across the boatfrom prow to stern. Almost at thesame instant the occupants saw, fortyfeet away, an immense object cuttingthrough the water with irresfetablaforce. This was undoubtedly thdpelican-beake- d head of the enormou3monster, the violent rocking of thdboat being caused by the met ion ohistail. The leviathan thraw a streamof water ten feet high, making anoise that was plainly heard on shore.After this the monster disappearedbeneath the water. This le the ac-

count given by those in the boat.Though almost scared out of theifwits, tbey managed to row to shore,returning to this side. When tbfestory was related, it created a greatsensation among the inhabitants ofthe village, aad fifty or a iwndfedmen wenf down flie friver fo catch. Ifpoasfbie. a sight of the gigantic rep-tile. There is considers ble excite-ment oa the subject, and it is probabie an expedition will be organizedhere to watch the river and kill themonster. Besides the ferrymen, tberawere five persona on the boat, as fol-

lows: W. Ferris and wife, GeergSmith, B. W. Wiiliama aad HenryHoffmeyer. The latter is travelingagent for a well-know- n St. Louisfirm, and the others are people well-kno- wn
