She c at a sweet-, pleading look at Oertana, and just then they enUred the parlor. All eyes rested on the two beauties, end all seemed enchanted, for they neither moved nor removed their eyes from Cbnora'a lovely face. Every noise ceased ; all irere so still that the ticking of the little French clock on1 the mantel could be plainly lizard. The same tbonght -was in every mind "How could any earthly being be ,; so beautiful as tlm little cousin ?" Lenora stood there, her little hands slightly trembling and clasped in front. Her great, beautiful dark eyes glanced from face to face, but none were familiar to her until they glancetl into the back parlor where Sylvester Noll sat. Their eyes met. His soul seemed to shine through those deep, dark orbs, as they rested 'upon the girl he "was at that moment o cruelly wronging. " ' - ,-, . The eager and steady manner in which he gazed upon Lenora attracted the attention of those who sat near him. To satisfy their curiosity they peered iuto the front parlor, only to be fas cinated as the rest had been. No one seemed able to move or say a word, and even Gertana had lost her usual presence of mind. Not becatise she did not know that Lenora wai lovely, al most beyond description, but she seemed to have been lost in thought, and those thoughts were, how to prop erly protect the poor, lone girl at hei side. ' They stood in that strange position only a very short time, but to Lenora, all unconscious of the effect her beauty had had upon the party, it seemed a very long while. s. . She began to feel quite nervous, and then slowly raised her dark, peerless eyes to Gertana's in such a pleading, childish manner that Gertana seemed ! to awaken from a dream. to a sense of her duty, and then, from some unac countable impulse sha kissed Lenorj'd soft, velvetry, rosa-tinbed cheek, and said; "My litjle cousin, Lenora." Sho said nothing more she could not - for it seemed that her tongue clove to the. roof of her mouth. Lenora made a graceful little bow, and the whole party arose. Then, and then only, did that , awful, unaccount able spell break -A murmur of "beautiful," "wonder ful," sounded through the raomg. Could it be helped, and could those people refrain from using such expres sions? Of course they could not, for, in deed, Lrnpri's beauty was something very uncommon ; there was stich a pleas ing, innocent, almost angelic expression on htr face, and to-n"ght that expres sion deepened and her pure, untar nished, though heavily burdened, soul shone in" that sweet little face. ' Gertana kd Lenora to a seat in the back parlor, and introduced her to Mrs. Hetes ; she then left them, to attend to the cuests. Soon quite a circle had forrAed round the little Drisonersilentlv lis'teninar to the low and mnsical tones of her gentle voice. All were anxious to iornr ner acquaintance, and particularly some of theyoung gentlemen of the party. The arrival of some late guests caused the little group to scatter, and LenOra soon found herself alone with Noll and a young gentleman, also a few ladies. The young gentleman, Alexander Dunn, was the first to form the beauty's acquaintance. Noll' wan prudent enough, under the circumstances, to keep away from Lenora. - Others were presented to the "littl? cousin," and she soon became the cen tral attraction, and was acknowledged belle of the evening. Seldom a smile would grace the scarlet, treiiibling lips; Alexander, Dunn, who l ad fallen heels over heal in love with Lenora wh n he first saw her, quicnly noticed the sad, lonely ex pression that would often cress her fac3, also, that she smiled upon no one. "Great Governor, who is that girl? I neve? saw anything to compare, with her before. Can she really be flesh and blood ? See, Gorden, how sad she ' looks, and uot once hai she smiled to night. I shall make a despsrate effort to obtain th3 first one." "All right, Alexander; ladies gener ally think you about right." "Yes, and it rather piques me to think that this strange beauty treats me so coolly' He seldom : removed his eyes, from her face, and "was fortunate enough to escort her to the great, beautiful din-ing-halL As yet Gertana ha I been unable to bj with Lenora scarcely at all during tho evening; but they met in the drawing room after they had returned from the dining-hall. . "I am, oh, so weary, Gertrude," and feel rather faint. What makes thes i people act so strangely, and look at nit in such a strange mann: r ? Do you suppese they know how very miserablj Iam?" "Lenora, do you not know that you are very beautiful ?" "I never think about my looks, and was not aware that I was beautiful. If they would but judge my looks by my feelings, it would relieve me very much. 'What puzzles me is, why society peo ple should act so." "I do not know, Lenorabut yon seem to bewitch them." "Well ! If that is the way people act at parties, I would rather be dead than be at one again. : I feel so strange, so miserable, as if . I . wanted to flee from this all as if there is some great dan ger near. Why I fee so I cannot tell ; but promise me this, that yon will al ways be my friend, whatever may hap pen." "Oh, Lenora, you know I have vowed, solemnly vowed, to be your friend and protect you. Can't you trust me?" "Yea, I believe you, but this horriblo romething, I don't know what it is, but it (Oppresses me so. It seems just as, ii I should lose you, and that he I mean Mr. Noll will do something terrible. He looks at me, oh ! so fiercely at times. But I shall never relent, Gertana ; he may kill me, but I snail never be . hi wife!" ... ' Lenora had become pale in her fear, but just then some one began to play npon the piano, and the music some what revived her low spirits. - A number of the young ladies of the Eiarty were good singers, but none eemcd to possess the talent that the ad little cousin possessed. - None of (he party had ever heard her sing, and tlid not know what she was capable of. The general impression was that she was like many unfortunate people. They are possessed of a handsome fac and form, but not a brilliant mind Noll still kept away from Lenraa, but u as Tery anxious that she should sinsf "Hallo, Dunn, you seem to be quite a favorite of our fair cousin.; perhaps ehe rill nng for you." "What ! Do you suppose she would ?" risked Alexander as lie sprang to his feet. - -' f . "Well, nothing like trying, you know. Best ask her and see." "I will if she kills me the next mo ment with one of those looks from her lovely eyes." He then walked across the room to where she and Gertana sat. "Miss Churchill, I hear that you sing beautifully. Won't you please gratify me with one song?" She raised her great dark eyes to his in an expression of pain and pleading j pity, but the much covered smile d.u not wreathe her scarlet lips. Mr. Dunn, please have compassion upon my ignorance and do not ask me to expose it. You have forgotten that I told you thrt I knew nothing." Lenora spoke in pleading, sad tones, while from the expression on fcet face Alexander saw that she was in pain, and he felt sorry for having been the cause, as he supposed. ,,-: ; Gertana sat near; she saw the look on Xenora's face and heard what she had said to Alexander. "You will sing for me, won't you, Lenora?" and then in an undertone : "You know you may never have a chance again." "Yes, I will sing for you, Gertana. 1 will do anything. Even expose my ig norance." . ' "Hallia! Iam not afraid jot that. " The two then went to the piano. Ger tana sat near the little beauty while she played. As Lenora's soft, dimpled fingers wandered over - the keys, the sweet, pathetic strains rang through the whole house, which seemed to startle and fascinate the whole party. Every sound ceased; no one seemed able or wished to speak. As she began to sing a sweet smile played about her lovelj lips, and she sremed lost to her pres ent surroundings. She was there sing ing for her only friend, the friend whe had promised to give her freedom When the swset voice ceased and the echoing strains died away, a murmui of thanks sinnded from room to room Gertana pi iced a beautiful bouquet in I Lenora's lap. I . As she did so, Lenora looked down ' at her with a Bweet, happy smile o) ! thanks. "I know you are weary now, Lenora. let's go to the conservatory for a few moments." ' A l?xander Dunn stood near and heard what was said. It seemed that tie had no power over himself, and was being drawn closer and closer, ; by spme strange fascination, to Lenora's side. In his great desire to be near hei and feast his eyes on her unearthly beauty, lis asked if he might go with 'them to the conservatory. . Of courHe they consented and the trio so.m disappeared from the crowded isitting-room into the bright, refresh ing tropical gar Jen. It was then getting quits late ; there had been waltzing and dancing all evening, and now some of tho1 partj were returning home. y- They had been in the 'conservator? but a short time w-hen Gertana was called away. Lenora and Alexander strolled down the long broad aisles;- past the love ly bright flowers and the playing foun .tain.'Near the. center of this lovely garden was a large circle, on tljp bor der of whicn were placed in equal dis- tancs apart six pieces of statuary, All the walks led to this stKt. In the cen ter of this circle was a large fountain, while in the clear, sparkling water oi the basin swam the '-pretty tame gold fish. i No one was in the. conservatory, and Lenora and Alexander had reached this lovely spot and now stood in the full glow of the bright lights. Lenora stood a few steps from a piece'of statuary, while Alexander stood in its shadow. The bi ight light fell full lon the pol j sweet face of the girl. As she stood the re her hands hung JLoosoly at her side, and her great dark spafkling eyes gazed "in pleased , ad miration at the beauty before her. i The innocent girl did not sesm to realize that she was in the presencs o a man who loved yet feared her. ! Lenora's dress was a rich dark plush beautifully trimmed with the spotless white swan's-down. A rich necklace of diamonds decked her bare white throat, while part of her long golden curls were carelessly looped 'and fast ened at the back of the head with a lovely gold dagger set with diamonds, the rest of her long loose curls hang ing carelessly about liar shoulders. In her sweet quiet iife she had been so closely confined to her pleasant country home and the schoolroom that she knew nothing of the wickedness oi the world, and in her simple, loving, trusting nature there had never a wicked thought entered her mind. At she stood there, her pure, spotless soul peemed to shine through her face. As her lips parted in a smile to welcome the beauty around her, she turned to Alexander and said : "How beautiful this is; it seems al most too lovely to be upon this wicked earth, and yet if wo were not blessed with such gifts the world would be a dreary waste indeed." - "Yes, this is lovely. It is nal,ure, aided somewhat by art; but; that spark ling fountain and all the beauty of the world combined is not equal to your own purj, lovely self. I have been a selfish, ignorrt man nil my life, and time and time again hive I imagiued that I loved som9 fair woman ; but since I first saw you I knew what I then' imagined was love was only a? pleasing fancy. Yoiir ead, baitif ill f jcj," with that heavenly expression npon it, ha3 made a man of me it has changed my whole life. You seem so far above m , co supreme, that I coald not ask yon to utoop to give me your love. That mile which you unconsciously b ptowe I upon me awhile ago was all that I could, ask. This world will seem empty to me without you. I can scarcely believe that you can be an earthly bo ing, and I therefore cannot ask you to share my miserable life. I am resigned, and care nothing more for the world or mankind, and all I can ask of yon is to, sometimes think of ma kindly-." ' He sank on his knees at her feet, pale and trembling, but dare not touch her white, limp hand. Lenora stood looking down in his sad, upturned face with a look of pity. "You must be some heavenly creature that has stolen away from your home on high to come here and teach us sub mission ; whether I shall ever see you again or not, I shall always believe that you are an angel." He then bowed his head and kissed the slippers on her little feet. .. As if in sympathy for his misery, she gazed long and steadily into his sad, pleading eyes. With her unclouded sight she saw the misery of his soul, saw the great hunger for sympathy, and she pitied him. . - She leaned over nntil her soft, pink cheek almost touched his forehead. while her little hand gently rested on the soft, rich, wvinghestnut hair. . "Mr. Dunn, do not look at sad; or are you in pain?' I pity you, for you do not seem bo cruel laud wicked like every pne else here 'except Gertana. You must not think me an angel, and that my home is in heaven ; no ; but, O, how I wish it was. I have no home now, but am a sad, weary and almost friendless girl, arid, O, so very miser able, tha it seems my soul must leave my body. All that is dear to me on earth seems lost to m4 forever." She then press 3d her hand to her heart, as if to check tha pain. "I feel so sad that I wish that I could leave this world." - . Her voio i as she uttered these words to Dunn, while one hand gently pressed hii brow, seemed more sweet to him than the murmuring: music of the playing waters of the fountain at his side. As v Lenora ' took her hand from his head he seemed to awaken from some sweet dream, and looked up in her face in a wondering bewildered fash ion, v I , "Oh! it seemed as if I had been carried to heaven on the music of your voice. You must be an angel ; no earthly b?ing could be so powerful, so beautiful, and pare." He then staggered to his feet and leaned heavily against- the statute, crushing a lovely passion flower with his weight. Lenora cast a pitying glance at him, but said nothing, for Gertana just then appeared. 1 "Com?, soma of the company are going home and wish to bid you good night, Lenora." "Very well, but I am loath to leave (his lovely spot." Ths two started on, but Lenora glanced back to see if Alexander followed. No; he stood motionless, gazing after the lovely form, as if he dared not follow. "Mr. Dunn, would you rather remain here than go to the parlors?" With seme difficult he replied: "I will follow." "i Gertana noticed a wonderful- change in Alexander and divined the cause. "What has Mr. Dnnn been saying to vou. Lenora? Nothinor imnroner. I hope. "No, Gertana. He - 7 . j O X i seems to be a srentlcman, but is much mistaken on one point, for he positively asserts that I am an angel, and no earthly, sinful creature. He did not seem so cruel and wicked, and talk of lore as that man did I eo much fear." They soon reached the drawing-room, where they found a number of the guests patiently waiting for Lenora. The good-nights were said, and, in a, very short time the beautiful house was still and dark ; Lenora and Gertana had retired to, their rooms and Noll to the library. yS It was then quite late, "but he lan guidly threw himself into an easy chair, where'ne sat in his favorite position in deep thought for hours. He was expecting a telegram every minute that would call him to Spring field,' but before he co nld go there was one question that must be decided up on, and to it must be i n his favor. Many dark and wicked thoughts and terrible plans passed through his mind as he sat there alone in the small hours of the night. Finally he sprang to his feet and began pacing the floor. "Ah ! By all that's bowerf ul, if she does not relent and consent to be my wife I will make her. She must marry me, and then I am safe ; if not, all is lost. To-moiTow morning I 6hall ob tain an interview from that beautiful," haughty girl, when her iron willmnst be bent. I must now retire and catch a few hours' sleep ; the telegram may come any minute." fTO BE COKTnrrED. CABLE SPARKS. Frotessob BECQCEKEt, the French physi cian and author, is dead.

Sixteen Grave of the Ancient Mound , Builders Uncovered- ,f' A despatch from Cincinnati, Ohio, says: Sixteen graves were uncovered at Fort An cient, the site of the greatest of the earthwork of pre-historic people known as the Mound Builders. The excavation is under the aus pice of the World's Fair, and the direction of Professor Putnam, of Harvard, the field work being in charge of Warren K. Morehead. The skeletons disclosed were those of eleven men, one woman and four children. Five were in a good state of preservation. The skeletons were those of men averaging five feet two inche in height, the tallest being six feet two inches. - - There are evidences that the men had died in conflict. A boot the-neck of one of the children' skeletons wa found a necklace of bear' teeth, and in two or three of the grave were found, tomahawks and stone hatchets; but no relics of an especial value- The crave will be reconstructed exactly as found for the World' Fair exhibit of American antiquities, except that no earth will cover the skeletons. Modern humanity has larger heads and shorter leg tbgn tbe ancients. - SLAIN BY DYNAMITE. - If-' - TweatjMen Killed and jffany Injured .. .at Tarrytown, N. Y. Many Blown late tho Hmlsin Itlver Torn te Piece In HorriblW Manner, Close of the Explosion. By an explosion of dynamite on a fiat car on the New York Central and j Hudson River Railroad near Holme Point, midway between Trrytown and kvington. New York, from eighteen to twenty laborers were -killed, and twenty-five were seriously injured. Nearly all of the victims were Italians. Among the dead is Finnegao, the Irish boss of .the work. The Italian were o the flat car with twenty four cases of dynamite, and were going to a section of road where a third track was btCng laid. A coil of rope' lay on the front of the truck of the engine. As - the train passed Holmes Point a spark from jthe locomotive ignited the coil of rope. The moving train fanned the flames, and they reached the first package of dynamite. One of the Italians saw this; and sprang off the flat car. He fell under the wheels and was killed. The next moment there was a rumbling noise, a dense cloud of smoke, and a flying mas shot up into the air. Before the explosion some of the Ital ian had tumbled off, and a lew saved their lives by so doing. The train jhad just about come to a stop. One man wad. blown fifty feet in the air, and fell into the Hudson river. Another man was blown over into the bluff. Others were blown - in various direction. Several are supposed to have been blown into the riven ji , .. - The air was filled wit!i flying debris and the fragments of human bodies, which soon came down like a patter of hailstones. People a block off were thrown to the ground by the concussion. Glass was broken in the window of houses two or three hundred sr8 away. When thesmoke cleared away there was a sickening spectacle. Thirty-one men, princi pally Italians, Jay tipon the ground. The car was nowhere to be seen. Portions of the trucks were thrown a hundred feet away, part of the track and the roadbed were blown away, and a great, hole was dug ln.the ground. Those who were killed were horribly multil tted. They were literally' blown to pieces, ana tne wounuea menwerei shockingly in Hired. Spine were mmus ' their arms, others i awav. and still other were dismembered in an equally horrible manner. Few of them could i speak any En glish, .and they w ere only known by numbers. The dead men were removed to Vander bilt's undertaking shops in Tarrytown. Some of the wounded were taken in a special train to New York, where they were taken to Belle vile Hospital. Two bodies, have been taken out of the river, and nobody knows bow many more are there. The two Italians who were not killed by the explosion were so badly frightened that they ran to the river wall and jumped into the river. They have not been seen since. - . The bodies of some of the victims lay in a swamp alongside of the track, and when the swamp was drained to recover the remains of the unfortunate men, a number of the bodies were found sticking in the mud, where they had been forced by the explosion. Three of the Italians died in the Tarrytown Hospital after being moved from the wreck. Ten of the bodies were picked up along the track, while five were taken out of the water. The force of the explosion was heard and felt as far down the river as- Yonkers and Spuyten Duyvil and up the river as' fur as Peekskill.' Windows were broken in Irving ton, Dobbs , Ferry and villages surrounding Tarrytown. The force of the explosion was also felt across the. river at Nyack, where, buildings were shaken and windows broken. In Tarrytown and Dobbs-Ferry many clocks in public and private buildings were stopped. In the High -School of Tarrytown a portion of the ceiling was knocked down, and ft panic ensued among the pupils. The school build ing was shaken violently, and the scholars and teachers thought au earthquake had oc curred. - The pupils began to run out of their class-rooms, aud the teachers with difficulty prevented a stampede. j . The scene of the accident is one of the beautiful points of the bank of the Hudson. TOUCHED A MAN'S HEART. Wonderful Surgery That Saved a L.lfe . . in Chicago. Surgeons West and BoufHer have performed a difficult operation on ' Luke' Branick at the County Hospital. It consisted of sewing up a knife-wound that penetrated the outer cover ing of the heart. Branick was brought to the hospital in almost a dying condition. Dr. BoufHer made an incision five inches long ex tending in the median line through the peri- l toneum. A gush of dark blood from the -'previous internal hemorrhage; flowed from tho incision. Silken sponges were placed between the intestines, and the liver was pulled down and tied. - The surgeon followed the I course of the knife. His finger was passed upwards and found an opening in the diaphragm. This settled the question of life and death with the' nurses and attendants. The min may be dead; But Dr. West's finger passed pn through the opening when he looked up jm surprise and hastily withdrew his hand. . "This man is living.. I totached his heart. I felt its pulsationn," said he.i , The opening into the diapliragm led into" the pericardial cavity. " The jheart , was flut tering and the patient was sinking rapidly. Hastily a suture was passed through the edges of the wound and theopening in the dia phragm was closed. An "M" shaped stick was put into the liver and the upper part of the abdominal cavity was sponged out The abdominal incision was then closed with iodo form gauze and occlusive dressing. The man was still living and is still alive. The opera tion was performed a fortnight ago, and Branick is preparing to be removed to his home. He is twenty-four years old, unmar ried, and an engineer by trade. ' MONEY FOR THE SOLDIERS. Allotment of the Government Appropria tion to Various States.
