Jeannette heard Lenor t singing; some- thing told her that Raj- was with the "little tramp," yet she must go and see. ,As they reached the sitting-room door, Jeannette was compelled to clutch tt - the casing for support, while her face was ghastly white. "Oh, heavens! I knew it; something told me so. I cannot endure this sus- lense any longer, or it will kill me. i "What a fool I was for not putting I an end to that hateful girl's life before i l'ay came home. Yes, there he is, j standing and looking at her, witli eyes i that tell only too plainly that he al- j re.vdy loves hr. I ; "See oh, heavens! see how he.; i looks at her, and never looks this ' way. "I cannot endure it, and I will not! Hay, my Hay, shall not be a victim of her treachery !" 'I She quietly glided across the room ' to Kay's side." ' i . "Ray, Ray, my dear, have you for- I gotten that ic is time for our waltz?" Hj did not hear her, but was still j i lost, to everything b it Lenora. j Jeannette laid her hand upon his " i.riu, i.ud gently shook it. j "Ray, dear, it is I, don't you see?" I As she shook his arm he seemed to waken with a start from a happy dream. I "Yoa here,-Jeannette? "Why, ye, I i had forgotten about the dancj, she I sing3 so sweetly;" and still in a dazed, I dreamy manner. "But now, let's go to the ball-room ; j it is our waltz. .. j "Ah, you here, Charley? Oh, cjms j ; for your partner, I sje." Lenora caught the sound o: voices : behind her, and. turning around, she i saw Charley IL 11 standing near her, : while Jeannette and the youugmaushe j had been singing for were just leaving the room. ! But as the music e?ased, Ray looked back and saw that Lenora was looking at him. He went back to the piano, picke I ' np her card, and saw that the lifth number, a waltz, was not marked. "May I have this?" But Lenora said not a word. She l.Hked into his face and smiled back her answer. The two couple. then went to the ball-room, and the daucing soon began. , But neith'T Ray nor Lenora seemed pleas.-d with tin ir partners, for every I time they passed eacti other their eyes 1 would meet in a loug, loving glance. VI want to tell you that little joke, Ray, after the dance is over; let's go to the conservatory, for perhaps there are. ; some parts of it that you do not care about any one hearing." "All right, little sister; but remem ber, now, the joke must not be on me." Jeannette slightly shrugged her shoulders in reply, and did not know I just what to say. She did not want to ' displease him ; no, now of all times, .she could not afford it, but she had de cided to tell him her opinion of the "little tramp." and, if possible, save . him, as she thought, from a terriblo fate. Her chief object, though, was to get . Ray to send Lenora away from the mansion immediately. , The waltz was soon over, and the dif ferent couples were leaving the hall, some going to one part of the mansion, while others went back to the drawing room, "Won't you go through the conserva : tory with me, Miss Rice? I know that - you are fond of flowers, for you you are so much like one yourself." Lenora. cast a quick, keen glance at her partner, and he soon saw that he was treading on forbidden ground. , The conservatory was empty when they entered. When the music ceased Ray and Jeannette were at the farther end of the hall from the entrance, while Lenora and Charley were just opposite the door. They soon reached the conservatory, and were far down the walks, and al most hidden cmong the flowers and foliage when Kay and Jeannette en tered. As Jeannette saw no one.she presnmed that they were alone, and as they walked along through the aisles she leaned very heivy and loviaglr on Kay's arm. "Mr. Hall, who is that young gentle mau with Miss Nathan?" Charley looked at her in perfect tonishment. "Why, don't you know him know his name ? He is Ravn ird Bristol, the master of the mansion." In an instant Lenora's faca was ghast ly jale. Evan her lips were colorless. Now, it all flashed through her mind; what had happened, aud who it was that she had given her heart to that very night! She1 knew that her face was pale, and that her hands fairly trembled with emotion, but she did not want Charley to see how terribly she was shocked, and with tottering footsteps she started for a recess just off one of the main vMlks. Charley followed her, wonder ing at her strange actions. "Let's sit here and rest a little, for I feel a little tired, and the air seems so close in this room." As they sat there they "were entirely hiddt n from view by the heavy vines that had grown np and completely covered the line iron wire of the frame. They were quietly sitting thr;rj, Lenora exe.-ting every nerve in her body to ca'm herself, and Charley was feasting his eyes on th.3 strange, be witching beauty of the girl in front of him. Lenora heard the hum of voices in the distance, but Charley did not hear and did not wish to be 'disturbed. , The voices came nearer; Lenora could not see, but knew who it was. Harkl "What did she hear? They were just opposite the recess new, but they conld. not see ber. glie pressed her hand eli s ly to her side, m if to fctop the wild brat ing of lijr aching heart. Jean net te's strong, harsh voice sonneted like thunder in her ears, as she heard ti em came nearer. "I tell you, Kay, that she it actnaUy a 'little tramp' or a canning adven turess. Just think of the way she man aged to ent r this hou, in an old rough box, and all wra; ped tip in blankets; and, tx, t'ose blank papers were aboniinalile. She thought she wool! create an exeitfnii'iit by throw ing an air of niys'ery about her." "I do not S3e haw it can bs so, Jean nt tte, for s'le lxks so " The sent nee was r.ot finished, for jnt behind th' in th?y herd a call for "Help he'.p -she han fainted !" X It was Charley Hall's a oice, and Kay rrcgnized it; and, to j, he rem nibered ihat the, littl. stranger Lai ben his artnt-r and that they left the ball-room ogether. He quickly unloosed JiaunettesJ graMphijj hand from his arm and ran ! back. j Charier met him at the entrance of i the, recess, and his face was ghastly j pale "Oh, my Clod, Hay, she fainted and fell over before I knew it! I noticed that she turned very pale as you came i;ear, and bafore you had scarcely passed she fell." "Jeannette, run for the smelling salts, and you, Charley, bring some water and wine, quick !" As- the two started for the restora tives Eay went to Lenora and knelt down by her side. She lay there on the soft," green grass, and her ghastly, cold iaee, wtm us uuu, siony eves, I Ll . i.i ill .-.I In ti t .1 ri 1 1 " Ti i i il 1 1 1 il f -i . ii nii.l i i, ui nai t. ivs ovu v. u. j.i luuu Mil. , 1 proach him for listening to what Jt au- -j net e had been tel.ing him. i As he saw her lying there., so pale, ; so death-like, a great flood of passion ate love for her rushed through his heart and shook his very soul. , He gently liftsd the limp little form in hi arms and pressed her to his bosom, while tli3 warm, loving kisses j were prised to her cold, ashen lips. j "Oh, my darling, you are mine, heart ; and soul, and you know it. You, my j little angel, my ruling queen.. You fought bravely with your own heart to- night, but when I gave you mine you i had t i yi dd, and I was so hrfppy, but j now, oh, God, what is this that they come and tell me about you? "Speak, tell me, darling, that it is not true, and that i all I want. "Speak, my little queen; I am with i you." And he kissed the still, cold lips ; again and again, but she did not an- ! swer him. . "Oh, God, why are you punishing me so to night? Why have yon sent I her here to punish me in this manner, j when I would die for her this very mo- , ment? I know it is all false she can't be wicked. No, she is as pure as the angels i a heaven." ,- He pre-:sd har close to hi bosom again and she slightlv moved. "Thank God! she lives." He gently laid her down on the grass again and her eyes lost that cold, stony espr ssi n. S!;e turned her head and looked straight in his eyes. "I'lease do not believe it, sir, do not believa what she said, f jr it ibn't trae. I am not wicked, but, oh, no lonely ami homeless.7 That was all Ray wanted ; he was then the happiest man in all ths world. "I did not, I could not, believe it when she told me. You kuow all now, and shall never leave ine while I live." L nor.v hail closed her eyes again,' but a i he fini h d speaking she-opened them and looked ut Kay. wh I; that same submissive smile played about her m nth that was for him only. It was swe ter and more eloquent than words to Ray. j In the co!ifii3io:i, Je;Vnnette and Churl v had been somewhat dt tain ;d, but thev s x n cam v ! Lenora drank j some "win 1 that Charley brought, "and Kay lath-id her face and hands in the cool wat?r. j - Iu a short ti:n the four returned to ! the drawing-room, to rest awhi'e. Ray was Lenora's pait ler for the nxt j waltz, and as they entered the ball- j room his face gljwed with hain-iuess. ; awl he was nr. rj raiiiaeit than he had ever been se u 1 efore. Mrs. Bristol quiekly saw the change, ; and divined the cause when she saw ' that her pet was Ray's partner. Had she n it been so posit ive that Le- j nora wrs innocent of Jeannelte's charge, she would never lie able to for- ; give herself for what she had done that night ; but as it was, the only looked on i with a pie vsed, happy smile. As for Jeannette, no one kn-iW what ! she thought or felt as she saw her "lit- tie tramp" whirling round and round ' the room like a fairy, treading on the i air, and Ray her Ray was the hateful ; creature's partner, and he had his arm round her aist, and from the expres- sion on his face as be looked down in Lenora's 'lovely, dreamy eyes, Jean - rctie knew that he loved the "little tramp" ten thousand times more, un- wnrfhv ils sho was. than lift barl pypt Invnl 'iipr s .

It will be a very easy matter for me to call on her to-morrow morning, when she takes her choc lite, and season it with a certain liquid that 1 have in my room. Ah ! my fine lady, we shall se then who shall bei mistress of the Bristol mansion!" The Christmas ball at, the Bris'ol mnnsiw had been a grand success, ml all enjoyed themstlve3 except Jeanette Nathsn. The night had been a 'beautiful, erlso, stirli 'ht night, and the morning dawned bright and clear. ' Kay awoke with a sweet sensaion. He had ben dreaming of the li't'.e stranger. He knew that Lenora loved him, and how he longed t make her liis wife immediately, tut there was a barrier between them, anil it Vis not within his power to tear.it away. Lenora . must do that herself by tell ing him who her parents were. He lay for some tinn with the vision of her lovely face before his eyes. The girl also, felt nappy mat morn ing, yet there was in her heart a tinge of sadness. She now looked upon her self as one w-ho had merely tas'edthe sweetness of true love, and then all had been snatched from her and she must carry the burden of her lost love for ever. As she Blood by the window, locking out over the broad sheet of sparkling whiteness. consci3US of something found and something lost, there wme a gentle tap at the door. "Come." The door wss open, and Jeannette, with a light step and a bright smile on hor faces, pntered. - "Good-marning, Miss Lina; I hardly expected to tind you up so early. When you fainted, yon frightened me terribly lastnighi, and I was mosli sure that you would be jv'k this morning ; rv of it all!

Here comes my chocolate. If vcu have not had yours yet, Btay and lunch with me." "Thank you; that will be delightful. No ; I never lunch until ten, and it is always so delightful wheu one has com pany." This was just the opportunity that Jeannette wanted, and she was indeed delighted at having succeeded so niee 'ly, thus far. . -' The onlv difficulty that now remained was as to tow she could tho poison in the cup without being' seen. The opportunity soon arrived. Some of the guests were leaving and Lenora went to the window to see who it was. As quick as a flash she drew the bot tle from her pocket end dropped its contents into Lenora's cup, just how much she did not know, but she hoped it was enough to send the breath of life quickly from her hated rival. Lenora soon returned to her ' choco late. "How many were going?" "Only two gentlemen." "Ah, yes, I remember now. They bade me good-by last night ;; two friends of Ray's from Boston." "How strangely this chocolate tastes this morning. Hid you enjoy it, Jean nette?" X "Oh, vis; only I thought it a little strong, and I do not feel very well since I drank it." K "I generally enjoy my cup very much, but perhaps I - have not yet quite re covered from the effects of the bull." Still L-enora drank of that N awful steaming cup (jf poison, and Jeannette looked at her with an inward feeling of victory. . "Gh, dear! I feel very uncomforta ble ! If you will excuse nie I will re turn to my room. " ' This wicked, deceitful woman rose and went to the door, and just as she passed out she taw Lenora set the empty cup on the table. , TO BE CONTINUED. CABLE SPARKS.

A Mother Shoots Her Three Children and Hersel Evidence of ln-anlty--A Loiter 1-ft fr Her llusbunil Telling uf the Deed Careful lTcpurHtioo Mmle. Mrs. Puttie Locliridge, wife of Mr. Thomas i Lochri.lgc, iliot her three children and her self about I o'clock in the artern-Hui at her borne, three utiles aonth of Spring Hill, Maury r county, Teiin. Mrs. IK'liridpc was 30 years of age, her eldest chiid 4 years old, the second 3 years old and the third 4 months old. The awful deed was done with a double barreled breech-loading shotgun. After din ner Mr. jI.aOchri.lge went to church, leavingv. his home in Is usual state of quietness. i His ;!e hud been complaining r some . : ... .. . . ! time past, but onthat parlicular aflcrnoon she was no worse than during the past week. The children were playing around as usual, and there was not the slightest hintof the frightful tragedy o soou to be enacted. About "i o'clock he returned, to the little home and fnind the front door locked. This (eenied stram;e to him, but concluding his wile had L-"iie on a visit he went around the house iutetming l enter by the back door. This, too, wns hacked, and be was compelled to loree a window saslijn order to gain au en trance, He had never known his wife to so securely fasten the house, nud as he climbed through thewiudo.w a strange feeling of iiiipcndingevil came over him. Not, however, until he had g me into the living-room up stairs, where he Had spent so many pleasant hours, did the full I meaning ot tne sealed doors and windows rlmrt,! ni.iall him. There, upon a pa'let nicely arranged, lay his three darlings dead, aud across the room, with her feet tiirnext to theirs, wns his wite, their mother, cold in the grasp of the grim de stroyer. A double-barreled breech-load ing shot-gun, his companion on niauy a jolly hunt, lav be- -tween them. As near as can be learned from the surroundings, Mrs. Ixx'hndge had drawn up her children's clothes one by one, placed the gun against thidr hearts and fired. Then he placed tlu-in side by side on a pallet which she had made for the purpose and arranged their dresses neatly about them.;. Standing at their feet and probably gazing down upon them the distracted mother placed the muzzle of the gun at her own heart and seat her own soul to follow her children. After killing the first two she must have re loaded the gun, and that she did it shows that she was at least partially calm. How she pulled the trigger when the gun was against her own breast is a mystery, unless she did it with a stick held iu her hand or with her foot. It is thought the woman poisoned or chloro formed both herself and the children before she used the gun. in the letter, given ill part below, she refers to a pain in her head, and then it would have been difficult to have killed the little things while wide awake probably too difficult for even the fiendish hand of a child murderess. The following letter was found in the room with the murdered and the suicide: July 19, 1891. Dear Tom. I know you will be shocked when you get bnek mid find what I have done. This is not my first attempt. 1 took 40 drops of laudanum at one time and liO at another before I was married, and failed to accomplish my purpose, but think i will succeed this time. If Eunice (oldest child) had been at home lust Sunday evening this deed would have been committed then, but she bad gi ne to church. I could hot bear to leave her behind. I do wish you could go with us. But for you I would gladly, gladly give up all. an go home to heaven. ' I sometimes f -el that I air a terr.f ie sinner, but now I feel that the good Lord is waiting, ti:e door open, to welcome me and our little ones. You have kept your marriage vows so much mor perfect than I have, but you know that my health is bad now. I have been in a bad state of mind -some time. 1 feel that Iain tired o! life and must go. In concluding her letter Mrs. Locliridge gave instructions as to how clothing and articles of jowelry should be distributed.
