His long absence
had relieved her.
She thought he
would neither seek
nor molest ber mote.
Had she known "more of life, she
would have known also, that strong
er than the sweetness and endur
ance of love returned, is the pitiless
pursuit of a love scorned.
She had besought and prayed her
father to leave this place, but he
sternly refused. She withheld her
self from his nightly assemblies, and
kept strictly to i her own small
dreary room, but she coold not es
cape her foe when he chose that
she should again see him. It was
noon when he called, and ber father
susamoned her to his presence.
Then, ere she could leave the room,
or utter remonstrance, he locked the
door and she found herself trapped
and snared ere she was aware of it.
Like an eDraged lioness she turned
on the man before! her.
"Is it at your bi4ding I am treated
thus?" she asked, j in a voice tbat
rang clear and crld cs the blows of

"It is; you will jnot hear me by

"And so yon use force a manly
action, but after the chivalry display

it does not surprise me that you
have none left for women."
"You shall not anger me today,"
he said coolly. "Be as score ful as
you please. The hon's claw is pre

"What do you want with me?" the
asked, abruptly.
'Much; but

I could yield your father up to the
government of his own country at
any moment, and ive him the fate
of a deserter and traitor? Oq your
head would his blood be."
"To do so would be but in keeping
with your conduct and character,"
she answered, calinly as ever, though
every vestage of color fled from her
face at the terrible threat
"And more," he said, slowly and
sternly, with his ruthless eyes taking
in every sign of emotion in the
young white face before him. "I
will have yoor husband treated like
a dog till he dies ja dog's death, and
with his lst breath curses jour
name as the givpr of his tortutes!
Do you kno what he believes you
to be?" !
The gray shadows of despiration
fell over her, changiog all her beauty
into the chill colored repose of mar

"What vileness have jou told

aloud. j: '
Oh, I have touched, jou at last?

"You will not sell your leauty at

"Oh God, I cannot "
"Even to spare his life? Even to
buy his release? At a word from
you I will set him free. He may
return to his country in eafety. So
much I can do for him, at least.
Will you not say "the word, Ninette?"
"If you would only kill me," she
moaned.
"Nay, that would bs foolish in
deed," he said, with t! e cold,
cruel smile she hated. "You are
young and beautiful, you have youth
and
passion,
and
even
your
strength will not be always strong.
No, I can afford to wait, Ninette."
She rose and faced him with a
despair terrible as death.
"I have told you I cann t love.
What more do you seek? '
"To tame you, ma belle. Your are
wild now as a young fettered falcon.
Well, like the falcon, I would have
Jrou tremble, and grow meek, and
ove the hand that bas captured you
unwillingly. You are reckless
proud, defiant all these qualities
charm me, I would not hve them
changed for worlds. You are fool
ish and unreasonable otherwise you
would not be a woman. Well, be it
so, I am not angered, but I am re
solved. Do what I wish, or you
sacrifice both father and husband
(you see I have learnt iour recret)
to your obstinate folly."
She looked at him silently, with a
loathing and contempt that were el
oquent, though worldless, and for
once made his face flush and his
eyes sink before the haughty chal
lenge of her own.
"I wonder if God made men," she
said, quietly. -I think it must have
been the devil." :
He laughed aloud;
"Men have thought the same of
women, my dear, many a time."
"I doubt not, when such men as
you exist."
"We are not verj complimentary,
ma belle. Be wise, Ninette, and
yi Id ere it is too late. You caunot
hold out it ii impos-ible strong
as you think yourself. You are
heroic, foolish, mad, just now. If
your husband loved you I would not
wonder at your obstinacy but he
does not ke hates and despises
you."
"Oh, cease!" she wailed.
"It hurts you to hear it? Of
course. No womin
likes to think
she loves in vain," pursued the mock
ing voice of her tormentor. "Wei',
you are innocent, and you suffer fdl
the shame and ignominy of guilt.
What do you g iin frm constancy.
This man believes you fled from the
security of your home with a lover;
that wearied of that lover you have
now come to me! You see you gain
notbicg by yonr refusal. He will
never believe your life goiltless
though" you swore it by every oath
that ever bound lips to the truth.
Surely you see your folly?"
"I see your vileness. II my hatred
cculd deepen, your words wou'd
sound its lowest depths."
"So be it," he said calmly, in no
way shamed by her scorn. "I will
give yon six days to consider your
decision. With the' seventh I am
here again. But remember, each
day adds fresh tortures to your
husband's life; his health .is weak;
his privations great. You condemn
him to a hard fate, and for what?
the chimera of a virtue none believe
in he least of all. What do you
say?"
"What do I say?" she replied
slowly, as she. turned her heavy,
piteous eyes on bis hard and scof
fing face." "I say this. I wonder
no longer that women ere now hafe
found strength and will for mur
der!" And she turned away as if
indeed the deed she spoke of had
already breathed fts tempting to her
soul.
He gave the preconcerted signal
agreed on between Leon Monprat
and himself, and the door opened
to allow her of her egress. Like
a bird freed from -its prison, she
lew from th room' and from the
hateful presence of the man who
had stolen fr6m her life its last hof e.
But in her heart her choice was
made.
"I wronged bim once," she said,
"but never again never again."
And threats and persuasions were
alike of no avail, because of her
great love.

Marriage of the
China.
Emperor f
The marriage of the Emperor of
China took place at Pekin, February
25. The ceremonies enjoined by pre
cedent appear to have been strickly
followed. ;On the 25th the marriage
proccession started from the palace
at two o'clock in the afternoon, and
wound its way by circuitous streets
to the residence of the bride. The
months, of the streets and lanes ih
the line of the procession were barri
caded w.to double rows of high mat
ting, the streets had just been re
paired, and were covered with yellow
earth, and the houses along the route
were festooned with red silk. Offi
cials and Manchu bannermen, in
their robes of office, lined both sides
of the streets. The presents to the
bride bad previously been sent t i her
house. The procession was headed
by four horsemen as heralds, followed
at a short distance by a large caval
cade of horsemen led by the two
imperial commissioners appoin
ted to escort the bride; then
lollowed nine pairs of white ponies
wish yellow trappings, two deep, led
by men, next two large yellow eaten
sedan chairs, with eight bearers.
These were followed by a huge
crowd of bannermea in large red
flowered robes, carrying Unterns with
the character 'velioity" painted on
them; then came halberdiers with
large, round jel ow silk fans or
screens and two close silken umbrel
las. Last of all came the phenix chair
in yellow sa'iu for the bride, carried
by sixteen bearers, succeeded by
groups of horsemen. . At two o'clock
the following morning the proces
sion returned to the palace, carrying
the bride and the two young concu
bines. The Empress is Baid to be
twenty-four years of age, the Emper
or being only eighteen, and the con
cubines, who are two sisters, twelve
and fourteen, respectively. The
streets were lighted with fixed lamps,
and the numerous bearers carried
lanterns. There was no music. This
is only the third time daring the
resent dynasty that the mat rmgd of
the Emperor has taken place while
be was on the throne. A week later
on March the 4, the Empress Dowa
ger officially handed over the reins of
power to the Emperor.
Consumption ot XieB.
Assuming the entire railroad sys
tem of the United States to be 160,
000 miles, as appears from "Poor's
Manual," with addition of the lines in
construction during the current
year, and taking 2,640 lies per mile
of track, we have in use at least 422,,
400,000 ties. This estimate, large
though the total appear?, is under
the mark, as no railroad uses less
than 2,640 ties per mile, and many of
the road 8 with heavy traffic bave 2,816
and in a few cases more.
The life of these ties varies ac
cording to their quality and the cli
matic conditions; but in the East,
where only the best ties are em
ployed, the average life ii found to
be about; six years, while in the West,
where a poorer quality of timbcb
often has to be accepted, and where
dry rot and other disadvantages
have to b contend d with, the .nver
age life i from Mm e to five year.;
so that even after allowing for a few
exceptional cases in which ties may
last ten years, the average life of tiea
all over the country cannot, be
counted as more tbau five years. !
It follows, therefore, that the an
nual consumption must be abont
84,500,-00. which, with steady in
crease o railroad building, must soon
exceed 100,000,000 a gigautij de
mand to be satisfied from our forests
each yo r, when we consider- the
many other calL- upon them, and the
fact that at present virtually nothing
ia being done by the government or
the people to replenish our source of
supply.
The certain rise in the price of
wooden ties, when these facts come
to be fully appreciated by the luin
lei men who control so large a p i t
of the available timber are , will
force the railroads to seek the best
solution of the question in the adop
tion of a metal tie. Pacific Lumber-

CoiuiltlitK a Work Begun Under

A work of engineering begun by
the Romans under Nero, in the fee
ond century, will be finished this
year ; that is, it has been in process
of construction for over 1,700 years.
The work to which we refer is the
cutting of a canal through the Isth

done, will be only four miles long,
and have the depth of eight metres,
which vitl 1.II0W the passage of the

It is not so great a matter from an

much to fattier the rapid progress
made by modern Greece in the art of

: Nine shipwrecked sailors lived for
three weeks, in April last, on a des
ert island only thirty miles from the
southeastern corner of Jamaica.
They were entirely naked, for, in
their terrible struggle to get ashore
after their bark had foundered on a
coral rsef, they lost all their clothing.
For two days they were without driok
but they finally obtained, by digging,,
a, small supply of brackish water.
They had no means of kindling a fire,
and were compelled to eat their; food
raw. They found a few cocoanuts,
jaugbt a few birds and a number of
sea crabs, and eked out their very
meagre diet with some little roots
like the common white radish. Their
story is all the more interesting be
cause the adventure occurred in the
West Indies, within a short distance
of the large town of Kingston, Jamai
ca, where it wonld hardly be believed
that shipwrecked sailors could suffer
so long without succor. In faot, re
lief did not come until after two of
the crew had reached Jamaica on a
rBft.
The bark Gettysburg of Aberdeen
ws on her way from Montevideo to
Pensacola when, oh a dark and stormy
night, she struck on a reef outside
the Morant Keys, snd in a. few min
utes sank in deep water. Sevan of
the crew were drowned, but Capt.
Stewart aad eight men, afier clinging
to the wreckage until daylight., .sue I
ceededin getting ashore. Half t,trved
terrible blistered, and burned by the
hot sun, and some of them so weak
ened by their struggles in the sea as
to be almost helpless, they were from
first to last in a pitiable co lition.
There is no telling how long their
sufferings would have continued if
they had not at last succeeding- in
making a frail raft that bore two of
the men safely to Jamaica.
Oat of an old piece of bogging,
some bits of blanket, and a mattress
that had washed ashore :bey con
trived to rig some sails for their
raft. It was just three weeks after
they landed on the island that Jones
and Allan, two s dlors, started from
Jamaica, The provisions they car
ried were all the cocoanuts that were
left on the island, a piece of pork
tbat had washed up on tbe beach,
and nine pints of water in old bot'lesj
tbey hid found on the island.
The raft sank eighteen inches
below the water in the centre, but at
the end it was slightly elevated above
the surface. The men were too weak
to stand, and during the forty eight
hours required to sailj thirty milea
to Jamaca they were constantly in
water op to their waists. Landing
near Morant Bay, thev were picked
up nearly dead from exhaustion and
taken to Kingston, where they were
kindly cared for. Relief was promptly
sent to the'r comrades, and the whole
party were landed in England a few
weeks ago.
The Pacific has of late years been
the most prolific scene of castaway
stories; but the thrilling adventures
of the crew of the Gettysburg1; show
that tailors along our eastern shores
may also meet with experianees now
and then of the Robinson Crusoe
order.

I hav sat by the hour in El Pro

Madrid, Spain, and watched the dark
eyed beauties of that celebrated city
in all their loveliness,- bnt they were
associated in my mind with treachery
and deceit. , While thus ' sitting one
beautiful evening, the thoroughfare
thronged with its usual gayety, I saw
two splendidly . dressed ladie meet
and embrace with great enthusiasm,
when, with x chill ,of horror, I eaw

Dreary Times on the Isthmus.
Panama, June 5, Tbe canal colUTpse
continues the topic on the isthmus.
Ih all upward of 9,0Q0 Jamaicans
have been sent back to Jamaica.
Matters are, of course, as dull as
they can be, and the city of Panama
has resumed the quiet, appearance it
woro.'Over twenty- years gV when
only one or two steamers visited the
po t in a week.
Tbe suppression of trains on tbe
Panama. Railroad, '.and the cutting
out of two o?.. three of the interme
diate stations, has dad bo perceptible
effect on receipts,, and . as the line
of canal work is npw a scene of com
plete desolation, and few occupants
are to be' seen, the traffic is io considerable-
' The number of sales by auc
tion of household furniture, even in
the city of Panama, is unprecedented,
and all merchandise., i disposed of
for much below its value.
One- of the canal dredges which
cost 200,000 francs, reccntjy nk in
a creek near Xavjernxilla, on the Cha
gres river j No attempt will be made
to raise it u Mif the "next'dry, season.
