“And I refuse it," cried Marry, wildly,

"Flight!" ho repeated scornfully.
"Whither could yon tty, what disguiso
assume, that my wealth could not seek you

“You will remain at tlio hank because 1

Ho was tlio samo sleek, confident ploitoi

llo was gono, heedless of tho agonized
cry of tho crushed victim ho left behind
him, confident of his power, and fearless

" 1 saw him just In time," multorod Vnnco
complacently ns ho walked rapidly down

lie hurried his footsteps as if (o keep

They occupied a floor in a fashionable
apartment-house, and at the door his ser

\ unco saw by Ids face that ho had some
thing of importance (o reveal. Ho only too
well anticipated its import; still lio asked
mechanically;
"Wh.t is it?"
*' is buck again."
“Beatrice?"
“ Yes..’’
“Wh re is she?”
"In tho roc; [.lion-room.”
Without nno her word Vance advanced to

ii was Foairico. tho woman Giulio had
seen in the grounds of tlio Elliott mansion
a few hours previously.
Her face was Hushed with excitement,
her eyes flashed with the emotions she ex-
peri need.
“You havo com ■ at last,” she spoko,
“As I promised. Vos. Now, thou,
madam, we are alone. Be seated. I have
sum thing to oay to you.”
11 s face was set and frowning, his voice
harsh and cruel.
A shiver | ussed over the woman’s frame
us oha noted the hard, stooly glnro in his
evil eyes.
Some memory of tho post seemed to im
pel her to a sudden aceotfsloa of teuuoi
emotion.
‘•oh, Dudley," sho cried, clasping he.'
hands frantically, "why do you treat we
thus? I who have loved you so ”
A low, mocking laugh was his reply.
“Sentiment, " jeered tho wail. ‘•Beatrice,
wo have dono with that."
Tho woman’s face paled deeply.
“Then it is true?” she gasped tumultu-
cuslv.
“What is true?’’ domandod Vance, in a
eareless tone of voico.
“Your letter."
“Oh, that tender missive, eh? Well, yes,
Beatrieo, it is true."
“And you cast me off?"
“I simply tell you that wo must pari, that
is all," he replied.
There was a triflo of uneasiness in his
manner, and ho watched tlio woman cov
ertly ns her face grew steadily paler, her
mien calmer, although every moment in
tensified lire misery she experienced.
“Then you never loved me?” she cried
wildly. “You could not bo thus cruel "
“ Stopl"
Dudley Vance uttoroa the word impera
tively.
“I havo jnst this to say to you," ho went
on ruthlessly; “no matter wliat has been

“I disdain your gilded bribes!” .sried
Beatrice, indignantly.
“Very well, that is your affair. I wish
you to remain away l'ronr here and from

“■Why?"
The woman's voice was sharp and queru
lous.
“Beoauso I so will, because ”
He paused abruptly.
His visitor had wade a fierce, forward
movement that almost startled him.
no iamonooas, sne cried sternly,
“Dudley Vance, I can toll why you thus
abandon mo."
“Indeed!"
“Yes. Oh, that I was over vain enough
to imagine your cruel, selfish heart cou d

trust my happiness into your keeping. You
havo deceived mo, you havo tired of mo.
You sock to dccoivo another.”
“You seem well informed.”
“lam. Ah. i havo watched yon. I know
tho now object of your admiration—the
banker's daughter, Mabel Elliott."
Tho mau started at tho moutiou of that
name.
His brow darkened ns though ho worn
about to assail his visitor with an outburst
of mgo.
Then with forced calmuoss ho demanded
soolly:
“Well, and if it is so?"
“If it is so, that you seek tlio lovo of this
beautiful, innocent girl - well, this it shall
never bo. ”
All the determination of a soul fully
arousod was revealed in tho woman's fnco
as sho spoko.
“I know your ovil plans," sho continued
in wild excitement. “Yon would wed this
f [irl for her wealth. You cast mo off for
lor. Dudley Vance, bo warned in time.
This marriage shall never take place."
“\\ ho will prevent it?"
“I will.”
Vnnoo laughed disdainfully.
“You think (ho public will enro lo listen

“Yes, when 1 loll them that you cannot
legally wed tho victim of your avarice.’’
“You will tell them that?"
T will.”
“And yon imagine tlioy will beliovo it?'
“I <lo. 1 will provo that you havo a wife

“And that person?"
“is myself."
A cold, calculating glittor enmo into
Vanco'a oycH,
“Madam," he said, in a tono that was
cruelly auoering amt iudiffsrout. "you im
agine that you are playing a very comploto
game. I deny that I am your husband. I
defy you to provo that I ovor married you."
For a moment Jlcatrioo regarded him in
bitter, accusing silence.
Then she said brokenly:
“Your reftilal is worthy your false, craven
heart; but tlio proofs of our nmriiago."
“Tlioro aro none."
“Tho clorgvmnn who wedded us -"
“Allowing that ho was not a hired emis

"But (he rocord in tho villngo church?”
“Assuming that it was ovor made, has

A wild, frightened look como into tho
woman's fa< o at his words.
“Dli, villain," sho criod, “havo you

“To protect myself?" intorrupled Vnnco,
lightly. "Yes. You know what you now

“Ob, morciful honvons, is tills Romo lor-

Tho woman pnspod out tlio words wddl.v
and sank lo a chair, with agonized fnco and
eyes haunted with all tho agony of unro-
qultod love and biokon purposes and
hopes.
Vanco had loft tho room, film was
alono.
For only a mnmont sho seemed to roilocl
ovor all that had occurred; for only a mo
ment a sense of injustice Hashed in her
dnrk eyes.
Then she arose to her foot. Her face was
a pallid blank as sho walked from tho
room. Sho scouted not to notice tho ser
vant, her surroundings, or her way, but
mechanically left tho house and tottered
down the pavement liken drunken person.
At ono blow, enmity had crushed her
heart. Lovo was dead, and with its demise
lifo was vain, profitless, unendurable.
Whither was sho wandering? film know
not, cared not.
Only as she finally caught tho glenm of
Iho darkly rolling river m tlio distance she
bnsloned lior uustoudy footsteps.
At Iho oud of Iho stroot Iho river wharves
framed tho (nrliid stream.
She advanced to tlio very vorgo of tho
dock, and looked down onco.
“ileavon forgive mo anil punish tlio in

cried brokenly.
And then, willi ono last monn of ullor

Ouo week after (ho reception at tlio El
liott ran: sion, lifo in iho haulier's honm-
itead and at tho bank had boeomo an nn-
sveutful round of ploasuro and duty to
Giu'io.
Mr. Elliott had left iho city, to bo gono
for a few days, nud Malic! had invited some
school friouds to tho house.
I lie days passed plea nintly away iu such
charming company, a: d (Bubo was glad (o
note that Vanco had not called upon Mabel
since her father's dopiuluiv.
Ai tho bank, Vanco was always polite but
rosorvod to Din io, and iho latior could
trace nothing but tho most scrupulous hon
esty of motivo in his conduct of the bauk's
affairs.
Ho had uotod, with mystified wondor and
bewilderment, a strange change in his for
mer friend Howard Jlarcy.
To his Burpriso, tlio morning after his
visit to tho banker's mansion ho appeared
at his desk at tho bank.
Giulio was delighted to find that Maroy
had evidently changed his mind about leav
ing tho city, hut ho was grievod ami pur-
pl' xod at his altered demeanor.
Maroy nvoidoil him tn every occasion,
nnd tiiulio, not wishing to bi n idi lie (homo
they had discussed in confidence in the
library of tho Elliott mansion, found his
friend becoming more morose and gloomy
day by day.
Ho was almost startlod ono ovening when
ho called at Maroy’s former homo to find
that he had removed.
"Iio is certainly trying tn evndo.mo,"
murmurod Giulio disappointedly, “forbo did
not oven let mo know ho hod moved. Will
I ever penetrate iho mystery surrounding
this slra go mau?”
An ovout oecurrod that evening, how
ever, which for the time being put Jlarcy
completely out of his mind.
It was a portion of Giulio’s duty to at
tend to tho rents of a tenement house, tlio
property of Mr. Elliott, located in u wretch-
edjiortiou of tho city.
evening ho mado a call at (lie
place on his way homo, and while in tho
house was surprised lo have one of the ten
ants, a poor seamstress, request a fe v mo-
meats' conversation with him.
“It ain’t about tho rent sir," she said, as
they stood within her humble room. “It s
about a mystery. ”
“Ah, indeed,” murmured Giulio, lialf-
amuBedly, oxpecting to hear some idle
gossip.
But tho woman’s fnco was serious and
her manner impressive.
“It’s about a woman I have taken caro of
for two days, sir, and I don't know what to
do about her."
“ Who is she?"
“Some poor unfortunate who jumped
into tho river a few nights since, and was
roscuod by tlio police.”
“And how came she hero?" asked Giulio.
“I came by the river whoii tnoy took lior
out. Khe looked so sail and miserable, I
told thorn to bring her hero. They did so,
rad sho has be-n here since.”
"Is Bhe not able to toll who she is?" in
quired Giulio, deeply interested in tlio
woman’s rocital.
No, sir, sho has boon raging with fever
ever sinco, delirious nearly all the limo."
“And you wish to send he away; is that
it?”
“Oh, no, sir. You will think mo foolishto
speak abont it, but there is some deep mys
tery about her, and it concerns Mr. Elliott’s
paitner at the bank.”
Giulio started violently.
“Mr, Yanoe?”
l os, sir.
“How do you know tlmt?"
"Becnnso all Iho limo tho poor girl
Bpeaks his name. She 1ms called his name
a dozen time, bogging of him to come to
her nnd sho will forgivo nil his cruelties.”
“Wlioro is sho?"
Tho woman led the way to a curtained
couch.
“I haven’t spoken of this to any ono but
vou," rIio said. “1 know thoso great people
havo their socrots and Iroublo os well as the
poor, and it was none of my businosg to
mako a lot of goBsip about it. "
She drow aside the curtains as she spoke.
Giulio uttered a cry of amazement as the
lamplight revealed tho face of tho figuro
lying there.
" For it was Boatrico, tho samo woman he
lind soon moot Dudley Vance in the garden
of tho Elliott mansion a few ovenings sinco.
AVhat fato had led him to tho spot? Wlmt
strange dostiny brought thorn thus to
gether?
Evon as ho stood thoro, tlio pallid lips of
tho invalid moved wnvoriugly nud framod
the namo:
“ Vnnce!’’
For Homo moments Giulio stood lost in a
dcoji rovorio ovor tho woman before him.
That sho was tho oppressed and deserted
victim of Dudloy Vanco there could be no
doubt
Was it not bis duty to loarn the truth of
tho affair which bail seemingly driven the
girl to suicide.
If Vnnco was a villain, should not Mr.
Elliott bo warned of his evil doing, and hie
rival be shut out from tho company of the
puro nnd beanlifnl Mabel Elliott
To go to Vanco himself and toll him of
tho girl Boatrico, might bo to place Ibis
porsoouted creature onco moro within iho
influeuoo of his baleful power.
Ho liandod tho woman sorno money after
somo rcilootion.
"I wish you to boo tlmt this girl has
medical onro, and is carefully nursod book
to hoaltli. ”
“I will do my host sir.”
“And do not tell anyone whnt you hnvo
told mo?"
"No, sir."
Giulio left tho plnoo witli a secret on liis
mind a socrol he did not impart to Jiabol.
"When Mr. Elliott returns I will tell him
about it," he docidod.
Every day ho cullod at tho hoitso wlioro
Beatrice was.
Sho grew better rapidly, nnd ono day
Giulio End a long conversation with lior re
garding her past.
Her story of cruolty and wrong nwoko
nil the chivalry and sympathy qf his im
pulsive naturo.
“You must lonvo horo for a more com-
forlnble place,” ho told her. “When Mr.
Elliott returns, Vanco shall bo forced to
make ropnrntion and acknowledge you ns
his wife.”
"Tlmt ho will novor do," murninrod
Beatrieo, hopelessly.
"Wo will boo. Ills villnlny shall bo un
masked, nt nil nvonts. I know that Jlr.
Elliott will rco you righted."
Ho scoured u pleasant room for tho un-
fortunnto victim of Nance's cruelty that
dny, nud only awaited Mr. Elliott’s return
to inform him of tlio case.
Ono afternoon Vnnco did not nppoar at
the hank, nnd Giulio wont home early.
Mr. Elliott was expected homo in a day
or two, and ho was thinking of Beatrice,
Vnnco, and tho bank when lie reached Iho
mansion.
liis fnco flashed indignantly ns lie on-
torod tho houso and proccodod to tlio library,
A glance into the drawing-room ruveniod

As he recognized him Giulio could
acnrnely control his emotions.
Tlio oruol porsocutor of jioor Bentrico
was acoepted us a friend m tho Elliott
mansion,
"it sbnll not ho,” lnurmuod Giulio an
grily. "I will toll Mabel all, that she may

OIL AS IT RUNS IN RUSSIA.
Pstmlriiiii I'Toivtnv ill the Unto of Tlinii.
siiikU of Thus (Inly.
Of the fivo hundred petroleum wells
nt Baku, Russia, the majority tiro situ
ated on the Halnlchuni Plateau, eight or
nine miles to the north of tlio town.
The latest “spouuter” of Tngioil’s is,how
ever, in a different locality, being situ
ated on a promontory throe miles to tho
south of Baku. Here ( ospodin Tngicll
began boring about three years ago. At
first the oil was slow to come, nnd ut its
best had never yielded more than sixtocu
thousand gallons a day. On tho 27th
of fioptumbor last, having touched oil
ut seven hundred and fourteen feet, tlio
well began to spout oil with extraordi
nary force. “From tlie town tlio foun
tain had tlie appearance of a colossal
pillar of smoke, from the crest of which
clouds of oil sand detached themselves
nnd floated aivay a great distance with
out touching the ground. Owing lo tho
prevalence of southerly winds the oil
was blown in the direction of iiailoff
Point, covering hill and dale with sand
and petroleum nnd drenching the houses
of Bailoff, a milo and n half away.
Nothing could ho done to stop tho out
flow.” It seems that tho whole district
was covered with oil, tlio outflow being
at tho rate of thousands of tuns n day,
which filled lip cavities, formed n lake,
and on the fifth day begun to o^cupo
into the seu. Tho squnro in front of tlio
town hall of Baku was drenched with
petroleum. On tho eighth day the out
fit) w readied tlio highest ever known—
a ruto of eleven thousand tuns, or two
million seven hundred nnd fifty thousand
gallons a dny. “Thus,” says Mr. Mar
lin, “from a single orifice, ten inches
wide, there spouted daily more oil than
was being produced throughout tho
whole world, including therein the
twenty-five thousand wells of America,
Iho thousands of wells in Galicia, Rou-
innnin, Burmuh, and otln r countries, and
Iho shale oil distilleries of Scotland and
New South \\ ales.” By the fiftieth day
thoso in charge had got the offtilow so
far under control us to restrict it to two
hundred nnd fifty thousand gallons a
day. It was certainly a misfortune that
of the ten million gallons of oil ejected
from TagiciT's well, most of it was at
I'u.it lost for wunt of storage accomoda
tion. -- Chambers' Journal.

According to recent investigations by
Dr. Chon, an eminent authority oil the
subject, diffused daylight is not in
jurious to the eve, the great desideratum
therefore in artificial illumination being
to imitate the conditions of natural
light—that is, it should not bo dazzling,
should be supplied bountifully, should
not heat tlio eyes, and should burn
steadily.
It has been assumed (hat the pain
which follows tlio stinging of the nettle,
and possibly other plants, is due to formic
acid. I)r. Huberlaml, of Vienna, de

It is not formic acid that is emitted by
these stinging hairs; though just wliat it

generally accepted belief is demonstrated
to bo erroneous.

those of Mongolians. The males havo

are very much alike. They intermarry

Some singular objects which appeared
in Berkshire, England, in January, 1871,
were described by Rev. A. Bouncy nt a
late meeting of the Royal Meteorological
Society. A little beforo noon, a group
of air bubbles, resembling ordinary toy
balloons in sizo and shape, were seen to
riso from a level spare of snow to a con
siderable height, and then to move up
mill down within a limited area anil at
equal distances from each other. After
about two minutes thoy were caught by
mi nir-cuiront nnd borne eastward out of
sight. Another group rose from the
samo spot nnd exhibited precisely the
samo movements.
In recounting somo of tlio scientific
discoveries and inventions of modern
times, Sir John Lubbock declares that
recent investigations show tlmt many old
principles have a far wider application
than w.ih suspected bv those who discov
ered them—as, for instance, that tlio
formula of tlio law of nvitntion, ns is
now known, applies to electricity, n.i.l
probably to other modes of force. Tlio
invention of dynamite and other nitro
gen compounds, as a destructive force,
says Professor Lubbock, promises to piny
nn important part iu tho history of civili
zation. Chemistry has yielded a largo
number of compounds to prevent disease
and alleviate pain, nnd for Ihe use of tlio
arts. In connection witli the sciences of
bent, light and sound, much has become
known, tlio application of which has
greatly increased tlio comforts and
pleasures of lifo, but it is to electricity
that tlio largest number of i: infill inven
tions are due.

Carrier Pigeons in AYnr,
Steps have been taken in nearly all Eu
ropean countries to establish military
communication by means of carrier
pigeons in time of war. England,
Fiance, Germany, Belgium and Italy
have definitely organized military carrier
pigeon services, and some have subsid
ized the private training establishments
with the right to use the pigeons in war.
This method of communicating origi
nated in China, or, at least, in the oast,
and it was most likely in use by the
ancient Arabians. William of Orange
and Napoleon I. used these messengers
during their wars; but tlio greatest ser
vice was that rendered in 1870, between
Paris nnd Tours.
During the siege of Paris 1.70,000 of
ficial dispatches nnd about 1,000,000 pri
vate communications, representing a
money value of about $08,000, were con
veyed by these pigeons. In this case tlio
messages were reduced by microscopic
photography so that a tiny piece of silk
paper, one and three-quarter inches long
by one and one-quarter inches wide,
could contain 0,500 messages of twenty
words each, or 70,000 words. The toial
dispatch thus arranged weighed at most
less thun one-quarter of an ounce, and
was secured by a light thread lo the tail-
feathers of the pigeon. Upon tirri id the
dispatch was removed, enlarged by pho
tography and deciphered. Public Berries
