She put her hands to her face with an involuntary motion of pain, and again Levasseur laughed. ■ Ver, pretty, but let us come to the point.

Some one is coming here Edith, you must hide me." Hush!" She hold a warning hand to ward him and stole to the door, hut all was Quietness: the speakers had passed on "Only some of the servants," she said "Edmond, you must go-go at once." Freed from the physical contact of the man the miasma of his influence was gone Fully aware now of the imminent danger in which they stood, her one de sire was to be rid of him. An impersonal fear of being behind locked doors with a possible murderer rose UP with her. "I will give you money the money I would have given for your defense. You must go at once." He took the key of the door from his pocket and held It toward her. "As you will. Let me out and I will go—down stairs.

He shall hear the truth from my lips. Jove! If there’s any telling. I'll not be balked of the finest dramatic situation It's ever been my lot to come within bow shot of." He laid the key in her hand, out stretched to him. The glance the woman cast at him was full of hatred, and Levasseur was con scious of it. At that moment only fear, tlie greatest force her nature knew, held her back from denouncing him. "If it were not for one thing," she said, beneath her breath, "if it were not for my child I would be glad to let you tell the truth. Even now—l wonder if it Is too late? My husband loves me Lqve is strong and forgives much. He might forgive my poor silence—my piti ful deception.” "Possible, but Improbable," he sneered "Your Anthony is not. of so uncommon a type. Then wduld he be wrong if he turned you out of doors? Think of your lies and deceit—the maiden soul with which he fell in love! Oh, come, in com mon fairness, isn’t It a little more than a mere deception?" x Goaded On. There was something so absolutely fiendish In the man’s manner that 1t goaded Edith Barrington to madness. She uttered an angry cry and made a quick step toward him. The man caught her outstretched hand in his. "Don’t be such a confounded fool." he said, in a hissing whisper. "Trust a woman for giving herself away! There’s some one at the door!" Mrs. Barrington's madness fell from her like a cloak. She turned a strained face toward the door, her hands still resting unconsciously in Levasseur's grasp Some one was trying the handle of the door, impatiently. "Say ’Yes.’ ” whispered I-evasseur The handle rattled again. "Edith, are you In there? What on earth's the mat ter with the door? It’s stuck." If was Anthony Barrington s voice, with a curiously eager note—Anthony Bar rington’s voice, eager and irritated at the unexpected opposition. Levasseur almost pushed the woman toward the door. “Open It." he said, "and for heaven's sake, keep your head! I'll hide In the bed room." ( Husband and Wife.

That the girl had managed things so badly as to let Anthony come up to hammer at her locked door! "My dear, dear Tojty. what on earth are you making such a fuss about ?" she demanded. "And why on earth did you lock your door against me? I never knew you to Ido such a thing before,” cried Barring | ton.

Serviss The Inhabitants; of the Seabed Are a-Gleitm With Strange and laistrnus Reality FLOWERS OF THE DEPTHS—A GROUP OF SEA ANEMONES. |g| < ''wiAi \k 1 V ra».XJ—w wrasse ra, g?- v -*w hJrobSKfrfeagraßjra i /■ IN A FORMER article some pictures were exhibited of the wonderful creatures of the deep sea—animals whose progenitors apparently sought the gloom of the ocean’s bottom in preference to remaining in the brighter world of shallow' water above. We saw how, many of these animals, in order to find their way about in the sunless depths that surround then., have developed phosphorescent organs which enable them to provide a Ight of their own. While others, as if aban doning the use of eyes altogether, have gradually lost the organs of vis ion possessed by their relatives above. We also saw' that these deep-sea ani mals. living where there is no sunlight to bring out the effects of color, are generally black and destitute of the brilliant markings possessed by crea tures which revel in the sunlight. Today we show pictures of animals which inhabit parts of the sea bed w'hlch do not lie so deep that some sunshine can not penetrate there, and which, in contrast with the inhabitants of the great abysses, are so brilliantly adorned with colors that naturalists in describing them have to compare them w'ith the most glorious gems, such as rubles, emeralds and sapphires. They exceed the most beautiful flowers in splendor, because their bodies are fre quently composed of more or less translucent (light-penetrable) tissue", which often seem to be self-luminous. This gives a vivacity to their colors which only polished and highly refrac tive jew'els possess. Among these are the jelly fishes, the corals, and the sea-anemones—'’anem one’’ meaning a wind flower. But no flower has so much liveliness of color . < these animals exhibit, z Yet when tnese same animals arc taken out of lie water they lose, nearly all their irilliance. * Even animals that by their forms are repulsive, w hen taken out of their ele ment. such as sea-spiders, spider-crabs hermit-crabs, star-fishes, and sea rchins, arc very beautiful when seen in the water.

In some places the seabed, at no great depth along the shores is won derfully crowded with these creatures and the different species live together, in immediate proximity, as W'e do not see different families of animals doing on the earth's surface -except, per haps. in a menagerie. It is almost as if one should, in some remote part of Africa, come upon a landscape where Hons, leopards, giraffes, zebras, elephants, buffaloes and antelopes were feeding and hunting together, in a splendid confusion of color and form. You can get some idea of the strange ness of the, life of the sea by visiting the aquarium and studying the various tanks filled with swimmjng and crawl ing creatures. x But peace and brotherhood do not prevail in these under-sea communi ties any more than they do on the sur face of the earth. There are battles for supremacy and for life there as here. Some species are the natural prey oV others.

Yet among! these splendid crea tures are found some w'hlch are not ■ only without beauty of color, but so shapeless that tjiey look rather like i bits of rock or stone than living ani mals. Some, too, seem to conceal such beauty as they possess from all outer view. The outside of the oyster is rugged and repulsive, but within the shell, when exposed to light, some times exhibits a marvellous play of prismatic color. Some species of oysters secrete, for ever concealed inside the shell, the most splendid pearls, W'hlch, when taken out and exposed to the sunlight or lamp light. reveal indescribable beauty. It seems strange that objects whose beauty depend« entirely upon the play of light should never show that beauty except when they are accidentally brought out of their natural surround ings. Much of the splendor of the life of the sea. as it is usually beheld from above, is due to corals. A view through a “water telescope" of the coral reefs of Bermuda or other tropical islands fills the beholder with as much aston ishment as delight. But the casual ob server of these scenes generally sees but little of the real wonders of th» sea bed. It is the naturalist who sees the real “gulfs enchanted." and occa sionally catches sight of some bejew elled < r-ature Issuing from a dark cav ern. gleaming in the dim light and stalking about in search of his prey.

But the old maid het self! Say. George, in some previous carnation she must have been one of them Brazil nuts. Do you know the line of talk and deep thought she pulled? She said that the old maids was the real spiritual mothers or the human race, and that If It wasn't for I hem. men w ould amount to nothing at all.

If you would use Pda-Naptha in cod or hikewarm water, you’d save time, money and hard work and there wouldn’t be any danger of the oh&dreu getting scalded. ” Hot weather is bad enough without a hot fire and steaming suds in washing clothes. There is a better way. Fels-Naptha soap will cleanse your clothes in cool or lukewarm water, without boiling or hard rubbing, in summer or winter. It will do the work in less than half the time and make your clothes sweeter, cleaner and whiter. And the clothes will wear longer. Think of it! Why should any woman risk her health and shorten her life by wearing herself out with hard work, and subject herself to dis comfort in boiling clothes and rubbing them through hot suds?
