A fev uritintes before it was time to go to the dining hall Kay entered the , drawing-room, where most of the guests wtre r.ssenililed. :( Jeannetve was sitting by one of the ' north windows, while quite a group of ' ladies and gentlemen had gathered i round her, and all were laughing and talking and did not see Ray w hen he first entered. Neither did he see Jeannette, but it was not her he was looking for, it was a lovrlv flushed faca, with dark, : dreamy eyes and a halo of long golden ctir's. AVh n he .did not see that faee amojig the crowd shadow of disapp uutment rested on his broad brow. As tbaV''' shadow githered Jeannette sawhis ' fa '.e, and, rot kuowiug the pause, pre- j sumed it w. s bacause she hal' not no- i tieed him v. lien he first' entered the room.' ' .'""! I'oor foolish g-irl what a delusion ! Every one was'delighted.to.see Ray, and he, of coufse, was equally pleased j that so niafiy of his old friends had k coma tpthe mansion for a week or so. ' He , gave Jeannette his arm as they ' went to the dining hall ; just why he did j so he could not imagine. i Terhaps he was glad to see her, yet he lij not exactly feel haipy. "Hu!ha! Ray, I have such a lively j little joke to tell yon by-and-by, but it j would be impossible to mention it just ! now. "Wait until after dinner, and I j will give yon a little secret the first I chance I g t." V"A11 right, Jeannette; but don't keep me in sujM nstj too long. If the joke is not tn nie, you know that I shall' enjoy it. " i "Oh, well,- well s e; but don't let's : say anything about it just now: loa will feel better after dinner, and will le more able to have a couil laugh." . The great dining-ha!l was filled with brilliant guests, ami a merrier party never sat at the tables of the Bristol mansion. Later in th evening, other guests arrived, and what a pretty pict ure the mansion made. Every room in the house was brightly lighted and trimmed with the richest flowers and evergreens. The ball-room was one perfect glow of leautiful bright flow ers, and tiio tall marble pillars of the halls were covered with flowers and ! evergreens. A short time lefore all the guests arrived, Mrs. 1'ristol stole quietly from her guests and wen? to see what had become of Lenora. ""I Fee that you are feeling b.t'er, my dear, and now yon ore ready to go down to th j drawing-roc. in, al'e yott not ? Miss Rail and Jeannette are anxiously, waiting for you. I am so gla.l that you are better. " "I do not wish to deceive you in any way, Mrs. Bristol. I felt well enough that I co old have gone down to dinner, but I was afraid; and, perhaps, - the worry and fecr made nie feel a little weary. I toild not have gone there among so many ttrange, grand people, for you know I never was at a ball be fore and would not know how to aet. Had I not foolishly promised 3011 that I would go down to-night I should not leave my room' ''My dear child, you must n jt feel tnat way, f ;r I know that you will feel as much at home in the . ball-room or the parlors as jou do, here in your own room. Your natural grace and easy, manner is something that you cannot h; Ip, and that is all that is necessary ; bo cjme on with me now, dear." Lenora followed her downstairs and into the drawiug-r join. Mrs. Bristol drew the trembling little hand through her arm and led her r.ci'oss the room to the little circle of which Jeannette was the center. Before they tame in Jeannette had placed heisi-lf in such a position that she cou'.d see Ray's fa-e; she wantfd to see what effect Lenora -would havj on him. It was impossible for anyone to form other than a favorable impression ol this jxior, beautiful girl as she entered. She was looking lovely to-night, even more Leanii.nl than she had ever done before. It. seemed that Mrs. Bristol had tried to see how lovely she could make htr little pet look,, for the dress that she had ordered from Paris was rich and very expensive. - The overdress . and train was the palest blue silk, and the finest duality that oonld ba had. It fittod her slender perfect form very '" closely, and the snow-white throat and little dimpled arms were Life. Just before Lenora went down stairs Mrs. Bristol clasped a -string of the most beautiful pearls around Lenora's neck, and on each soft, plump wrist was a broad band of pearls, while in thi center was a rosette of diamonds. There was' also a dia mond cross fastened to the necklace of pearls, 'l'lie rnderslilrt ot iienora's dress was white brocade velvet, with a, fan of .pearls on the front breadth. The overdress was- beauti fully draped and fastened with rosettes of pearls, while on her little feet wore dainty white satin clippers. Those long gold curls were carelessly looped up and fastened with a few half -blown tea-roses. As she entered the drawing-room she looked like a fairy goddess of light, and Raynard Bristol never forgot the sijrht as lone as be lived. It seemed that Lis mother Lad arranged the sur prise for Ids benefit.j for a she entered with Leoora on her arm she cast a swift glance at her son. Kay was standing in the shade, in a curtained alcove, and could see Lenora, bnt she could not see him. As she entered the' light shone full upon her dazzling beauty; the color and expression of Kay's face changed. ! Jeannette, from I her earner, saw it all cud wondered at the s range and tu lden change in the expression of his face. Her heart sank low, for she could not tell what the change meant. ' It was now hope against hops. Possibly, her Ray had seen this girl some place, and recognized her as sh3 entered. Terhaps she was a low-born woman, ttnd a fear for the honor of his" house had caused the strange paleness; she could not tell, but she felt miserable .... . that she knew. Ctrlainly no one could hlp admiring Lenora ; even the envious Jeannette, in her elegant robes, of the palest tint of green, and htr magnificent diamonds, realized that she had a rival in beauty, and, to think that that rival was her "little tramp!,' "Ah! the thought of it was more bitter than wormwood or gall to the proud, haughty girl. HAPTEK XXII. After Mrs. Bristol had presented Lenora to most of the guests she went over to where Ray hud sank down upon a sofa. " "Is she the young lady you saw at the window, Kay V" "Ye.," he replied, in a low, sup pressed tone. "What do yoa think of her? Is she an adventuress or not?" "Xo. She ii . no adventuress, but look3 to me like a pure and innocent child, and is the loveliest ceeature I e.'er saw in my life. I hope you won't ke p me in suspense any longer, mother, as to who she is." "Well, really, Ray, I do not exaclly know who she is mjtelf nor do 1 think she knows her . right name. 1 liere seems to I e a 1 great mvsterv that surrounds her tntire life; she savs she uas iio u.iLuj, 110 menus, ana (iocs nor know Iijw s'ie came herj. But, Ray, my boy, search your ninioryand see it you caur.os tunK of some one or some pictarj that she resemblas. For some rea ion or therI have taken a great fancy to h,r, and every time I look in h r faca' some incident of my childhood days comes to my memory. What doirou think, Ray ? What about AuntMarie's daughter, your cousin, llega? Isn'tthero a reiemblajca?" "Oh, impossible, mother, f r you know how teirlble it all wes, and, w'hat is more, Cousin Kega never hid a - But what did she say, mother, about h Y hom , her past Lie,, and tnd- On, mother, I wish you would aot say any more to-me just now. "Everything seems all confusion and I would like to be alone for a few mo ments." "Well, well, Ray, I won't bother you, for no doubt you are tired over your long ride to-day. I mrtsl; go and at tend to my guests now, or they will think that I have forgotten them." Mrs. Bristol had noticed the change in Lay, but said nothing, and did not offer to introduce! him .t. her pet. It seemed that she was trying him that night. xvf As yet. Lenora had not seen the yoang man that she saw doming tip the walk, and was wonderiiigyhii-h of the many gentlemen was the master of the mansion. J SI13 was too shy and timid to look around the room at first, or she might have seen that sime face and those large brown eyes looking so wistfully at her. He was near enough to hear her voii e, but did not dare to speak to her. "Oh, how awkward it all is. Why didn't mother introduce me when she firt came in. I wonder if she waltzes. Hope so, at least, and what a sweet voice!" . ' He left the gay little group and went into the parlors and tried to talk to the guVits there, but everything seemed dull to him, and he felt exceedingly uneonifoit.iLl , while every few mo ments he would glan?e toward-the drawing-room in the hope that he m 'ght see her. -y "Ah! There is the music, and now th? dancing will begin; perhaps it will drive this miserable feeling away." He had a partner for the first dance, but had none engaged for the second and third, neither for the fourth nor the fifth, y Jeannette had saved most of the waltzes for Ray, but her card was almo.it full. Charley Hall had engaged , L?nora for thj first waltz, while Ray and Jeannette were partners. In a few minutes the dancing began, and as Lenora had no partner she was left quite by herself. She quietly slipped into the family sittingroom, and as that part of the house was entirely deserted she sat down to the piano and began to play. It happened that Ray's partner accidentally tore one of the flounces on her dress as she was going to the ball room, and, of course, Ray had ho partner for that daace. He stood in the ballroom door for a while looking at the merry throng within, but for some reason or other the mnsic was not sweet to his ear and there was a continual discord. He left the ballroom and strolled through tb hall toward tho drawing room door. "I will go and see who is left on the first dance, and perhaps I can get smis old lady to talk to me a while a-id then I may feel better. But hark ! That musio that vjice! How very sweet and soothing i is. Wonder who is singing; just for tho fun of it I will slip in and see." And ha did see, for when he reached the sitting-room no one was there but the little stranger, and it was she that played so divinely. . - How ra.liant his f-::c3 was as he saw her thsre alone, and the mnsic seemed to sooth his nerves as it rose and fell into the sweetest tnelodies he had ever heard. Lenora, too, was straugely restless that night. "Ob, dear me! I wish I had not seen that gentleman get out of the c trriaga, for for some reason or other hi face has leen before me ever since. Vonde who he is ! I have not seen him L)ere this evening. Pe rh.aps if I sing some of my old songs I shafl feel better, and then the face will go away." As her voice roseli'iea nightingale's, sending thesweoi tones ringing through the empty rooms, it was wafted -'on the perfumed r.ir into the halls and then mingled with that of the ball-room. " It was that sweet voice in the dis tance that Ray had heard, and he had been drawn ts the sitting-room where he had found her, who was before him all he time. . "Ah ! this must be paradiss, and she the reigning queen; I feel happy here, and could listen to that sweet voice all my lifd." - .,; ' ' He could not stay away from her, and yet he did - not wish to go nearer than tha doorway. he did not see him. His face wa still in front of her, arith the crreat dark eyes looking down .nto the swett, dreanjv depths her own. She sng on and on, looking at that face, not thinkiap that any one might nave heard her, and entered the room. No, Bhe was too happy thero; the room might have been filled with people, and she would not know it. Kay, too, as he stood hf-re so close to h,?r that his breath almost fanned her cheek, wes too happy to think that some one might be listening. Why he had been drawn to- Lenora he could not t 11, neithrr did she as yet understand why that face was ever in front of her. For the first time in Raynard Bristol's life he was not able to control his feelings; he wanted to leayj the room and run awav, but he could not . move. Fie'' stood there for snie time, feasting hi eyes on the lovely foira off the girl who had so i , . . i strangely drawn him near her. The little fVsgrs ceased to move over the keys; as the echoing sounds were growing fainter shs turned from the piano, as if she w ere goir g to leave the room. -- As she ceased playing ths face seemed to come nearer, and -he felt somewhat disappointed that the music had not driven it away. Lt ntra was looking down at her haids as she turned from the piano, end did not look up she rose to leave the ro m. She 1 could scarcely belie v her own eyes, but in froiit of her stood the gentleman with th.? handsome face that had been haunting her all the evening, and her head touched his arm as she rose from the stool. They met each other's' glances, and for an instant Lenora's cheeks were crimson. . For an instant only did her great, luminous eves feast on the handsoroiT face of the "man in front of hevand then the eyelids drooped and her face became pale even to tha lij s';' but the color soon came Lack tojier face. Her little hands were tightly clasied, while the scarlet lips were quivering. An expression of ierfe.-t happiness came into RaTy's face as he looked at Lenora r he seemed to read ' her thoughts and she his. The contest had Jeeu severe for both, yet Ray knew mas uo uau wou wie victory, auu ie won nora, after a ternule battle with her self, was willing to surrender. As yet not a word had been spoken between them, yet they seemed to understand each other. Lenora raised her eye3 and looked uo in his face, while a happy smile playe 1 alxiut her mouth. Rnv knew then" that the victory was - . . ., - complete, and he asked gently Now please, sing for me. Lenora would not answer him, but that same dweet, submissive smile played abou. her lips that lie had just seen, and sh3 Knew he would. Ray moved to the side of the piano, and leaned up agninst it while his eyes rested ujxin tha lovely face of tho girl. Lenora sang as she never had done before ; her soul seemed filled with a new life and happiness. The music at time seemad weird, and then became very low and touching. Now it would riso so sweet, so graud, that every nerve in the body would twinge with its grandeur, anil all the words v.-ere--of a new-found love. It seemed to Ray that Lenora did not realize where she was, and it all seemed like para dise to him. "I have seeji handsome people and heard grand nmsic, but nothing to compare to this. Oh, where am I, and,: what will become of me? I thought I w.;s man, and have never known j what it is to be ruled by others but she is my ruling queen. Thei laurels j and the crowns, with my whole king- j dom. I lay at her feet. Wonder whether ! she-knows how I feel, dear little soul, an. I hall I ever be able to tell her how much I love her? I beliive she knows already." - The first aBd second dance were over, :and it wasNilmost time for the third,! but Ray and Lenora had forgot ten aM aliout the ball-room. But Jean nette had not forgtten about her part-' n?r fiir the waltz, and, as luj did not ;c6:ne for h?r, she and Charley Hall started in search of him. 4'" lTO BE COXTIXL"El. MICHIGAN SMOKE-CLOUDS. Sun's liays Dulled, and Miles ' to. Forest liumeil Over. One of the most destructive forest fires which has ever swept through the Northern Peninsula is ragingbttween Marquette and St. Ignace, along the line of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway. For huii reds of miles no hing can lc seen but one mass of flame, and the density of the smoke is so pronounced that the beaming sun appears like a golden bull. Railroad officials have large crowds of men statione I along the track, battling gainst the fire-, but the Ha es ere rapidly taining headway. It is feared that the track will be destroyed. In many places between Newberry and Seney the smai bridges crossing littl- creeks are being des roved. At s veral of these places trains were compe!l d to stop in order to extingui h the fires. The lelegragh poles have been burned down and the wires rendered useless.,. The general loss will aggrente well into the thousands. Some of the small villages along the rail road track are in danger of beinr wiped out. The inhabitan s have been .fighting against fir! for the past ;ew days, and are now almost exhausted. They have called for id from officials of the railroad. It is feared that several loggeis along the bank of Tnl-qua-manon atid Fox rivers have lost their lives, j- A FAMILY BUTCHERED. : rather. Mother and Four .Children Found Dead Ja their Home. Mrs. Dr. Allen, of Beatrice, Neb., went to i visit her " brother, John II. Puterbaugh, a I farmer, living 11 miles from Ellis. L -'" Repeated knocks at the loor failing to ob j tain a response, Mrs. Allen entered, and a ! horrible sight met her eyes. ' On the floor lay her brother, ruterbaugh, j with a bullet-hole through his head and an ' empty revolver lying beside his dead body. Mrs. Allen called to her driver, and they made ; further investigation. ' On a bed lay Mrs. Puterbaugh. Jeside the wife and mother lay the dead body of the two ' year-old babe. On a lounge in another room ! lay the dead body of Puterbaugh's ten-year-; old eon. . i Upstairs' were found the dead bodies ot Pu- j t terbangh's two daughters, aged thirteen and i fifteen years.

' jle was a well-to-do farmer, without any i known trouble, and insanity is the only ino I tive that can be ascribed for the deed.

The nnt appalling railroad accident that, ever occurred west of the Missouri River, oc curred at Aspen Junction, Col.;' resulting in the death of eight people aud seriously injur jng a number of others. .X - Nearly ail of the passengers were more or less wounded or scalded, and it is thought that the steam has so aftW-teL the Ijiiigs of many of those who were not badlf scalded that they t.v, will die. The collision occurred between a midland locomotive and the hindCoach of an excur sion train running ln-ween Aspen and tilen wwxl Springs. : Engineer witier, of the ex cursion train, bad run his train tip to the water tank at the junction for water. When backing down to pet on the nisiu track line, a light engine shot out from the eoal shutes, which are located ii: such a way as to conceal the engine tracks from' the view of tracks leading to the water tank. The engineer of the-light engine apparently thinking he could get out before the excursion train took the main track, made the attempt, but struck the rear coach of the excursion train at the switch. The force of the collision tore the cheek valve from the engine and poured M-alding steam and water into the wrf ked coach toad of peo ple. Then ensued a scene of terror impossi ble to describe. The imprisoned passengers, in their distress fright and agony, beat thejr' hands and heads against the thick, plate glass-windows in t lit ir mad endeavors 1o escape. Then the coach caught tire. To add to the horror, after the people of the place commenced to pull the imprisoned dead and wounded victims from the burning coach f lay their bodies on the aid of. the . hi.ll, tramps commenced to rob the dead, dying ami wounded.
