ever had. Two minute* before she had
reached tho ollmax of magnitlcence
and grandeur, pe Tics.; In her radiant
beauty, dresxod In tho rob «* und
jewels of a queen. Now, what wbh
•lie? An usurpor, on Intruder, an
lntorIo]M<r. She had no right toCrown
Leighton—no right to the diamonds
that orownod hor no right to the
name that had been a. music in hor
ear*. A ery of despair eitc«|s d her—
utter, hopeless despair.
"I will kill inysolf," »ho mid, In hor
anguish; "for I nover cun go hack to
that life again."
How long who crouched thoro, her
brain burning and hor mind full of
dark, confut'd thought*, Loonlo nover
know. A nol*e upon tho stair* aroused
her, und she started up.
Hor llmt honest impulse wa* to rush
down through tho crowd, to toll Haul
Klomyng. and to pliieu the will In Ilia
hands. That wai her llmt impulro,
and sho rose to act iqion it. A* sho
passed tho lrrge mirror, sho caught
agliin|*o of hor.-oif, and it frightened
her. Wu-t that tho radiant, h -autiful
girl aho liud soon so short n timo be-
fore? All tho bloom hud died from hor
face, louving it ghastly white: the vio-
let eye * were dim and wild; the light
seuinod to hor excited fancy to have
faded from hor jewels. Oh, cruel
mockery, that dlodom of goins, those
queenly relied Shu laugho.l to hor-
t-clf— a' harsh, discordant laugh, un-
pleasant to hoar.
"I am no longer a countess. I am
penniless, obscuro, a paup-r, not a
quoon. ”
It was Buroly tho sorest blow that
could huvo ls.fallo 1 her. Hho hat
loved her position, hor magnificence,
ao woll. She had enjoyed them so wolt
—ahe had graced thorn »o profoetly.
‘I will go and put thin in his hands,”
she said, “and then I will go straight
out from that brilliant crowd—out to
cold darkness und deuth. I have drunk
of tho wino of life, und cannot taste tho
lees.”
Was thoro a hot breath on hor white
shoulder, or was it only hor fancy?
Was there a voice hissing in her cur,
or was it a dolusion? what was tho
voice saying?
"Let it bo os it is for ono night longer.
Go down und comploto your triumph-
go down whore men wait for you with
honovod words, Ueign queen to-night
—tora u-row lot poverty come and do
its worst. Thoro is no need to make a
sensation am ing nil thoro people-no
need to publish your downfall t i-night."
Was there a hissing, sharp voice
whispering these words, or was it hor
own fancy? Hhe pushed the diadem
and the golden-brown hair from her
brew.
“Many a woman would have been
driven mad by such a shock,” site said
to horsoif.
Thon she stood hesitating, with tho
parchment in her hand.
“Shall I take it to him now, or shall
I wait until to-morrow?
“To-morrow will do," said tho
tempter. "What difference can it
mako? Enjoy your reign a few hours
longer—mako the most of tho noxt few
hours. Leavo it until to-morrow."
“I might just as well wait until to-
morrow,” sho said, piteously; “it would
be so said to spoil tno fete and turn all
into confusion."
Thon suddon hot anger flushed in
her face and flamed in her eyes.
“I would fain do as Sardanapalus
did," she cried—“burnCrown Leighton
to the ground, and dio in tho ruins."
Then tho fierce hot anger died., “I was
so happy," she said, despairingly;
“Heaven might liavo lot me keep what
I believed to b.i mine. Perhaps I hud
bettor take this to Paul at onco—it
will be loss torture thon keeping it by
me until to-morrow.”
She walked toward tho door; she
bow horsoif seeking him, placing the
will in his hand, und saluting him by
his now tltlo—fiarl of Charnloigh.
Then camo a vivid remembrance of tho
timo when hor heart had thrilled with
ecstasy at tho sound of her title.
“I will not be so hasty—I wil. -----
until to-morrow,” she said; “I will en-
“I will not be so hasty—I will wait
ntil to-morrow,” she said; “I
joy those few hours, and then-
in the anguish of the moment she
even forgot her love and tho lover who
was waiting for hor. She took the
parchment, hid it in tho wardrobe,
locked the door, and then slowly de-
scended tho stairs.
“To-morrow," she moaned to herself
—“it will be all over to-morrow."
CHAPTER XXVIII.
“Leonie, how long you have boon,
my darling! What is tho matter?
Your face is white, your lips tromble.
Lponio, have you Veen frightened?"
Although she loved Bertram hotter
than her iifo, in the supreme anguish
of that hour sho had forgotten him;
and now, at tho Bound ot tho kindly
voioe—at tho sight of tho frank hand-
some face—a keen some of what she
was losing came over her. She wont
up to him, and as he stretched out his
hands to her, sho laid her head on his
b.east, forgotting everything in hor
sick, hopeless despair.
“My darling,” ho said, anxiously,
“what is tho matter? Ton minutes ago
you woro all radiance and light—now
you are pale, depressoil. What has
hapjienod to you, Leonie?"
Hho raised her colorless face.
“Is it only ton minutes since I loft
you, Bertram?"
“That i; all,” ho said.
“It seemd to mo ten long years—ton
long, dreary, despairing yoars. I am
so tlrod. Oh, Bertram, how that music
wearies me! Will it never step? I am
so tired.”
“My darling, you have been doing
toi much. Your spirit! carry you
awny, and the i you are exhausted. Do
not go back to tho ball-room - lot me
bring you some wine and rest yourself.
I will net oven speak to you, nor will I
allow any one else to teare you."
“No. no," Bhe suld, “I must go back—
I have been away so long."
She made a desiierato effort 11 r use
herself. He looked at her in silent
wonder. She reminded him of a fair
and bh nming flower blighted by some
cool, frosty wind. The bloom and radi-
ance had loft hor face—even the queen-
ly. graceful flguro seemed t> shrink
and grow less, while tho regal robes
and jewels had lo.t half their bright-
ness.
“Leonie," said Sir Bertram, “you
frighten me. I am quite sure you are
111.7'
“1 am not. Do as you propose—go
and fetch me some wine, and bring it
to me in the morning-room.’
He placed her in a chair, and left her
without a word. Her brain was whirl-
ing.
“To-morrow,” she sald-“aU this will
be over to-morrow. I shall be flattered
and loved—I shell be queen of a brill
|Mrt fete -I ehsll be uustreee of Crown
Leighton until to-morrow; and then all
will Im over, und tho *un of my Ilfo not.
To-morrow! Hliall I llvo to faoo It all
-thu unuimcnti, tho gossips, tho
snoora! Thoso fine ladles who protest
that 1 am a modal of graceful manner*,
will Und out thou that I am low-hrod
and very deficient what ha* passed
for animation will bocome vulgarity.
1 know tho world, and hate it while I
lovo It. Its triumph over mo *hall not
irngln to-night. For till* one night It
shall bo at my foot, and I wilt trample
on It,”
Then Hlr Bertram cumo in with thu
wlno, and sho drank It. It brought tho
warmth and .oulor hack to hor face.
Ho was much rollovod.
“You aro hotter, Ismnln. (>h, my
darling, you must uovor look that way
again! Promise to Im careful of your-
suit; you aro net strong. You alarniod
mo when I saw you. 1 thought tho
ghost that haunts tho oak room liuil up-
imerod to you."
A doup, tearless sob broko from hor
lips*
‘Tho ghrsit of tho (Mik-rtsun," sho ro-
pouted, wearily' -"1 suw It, and It has
nearly killed mo."
Ho thought hor manner strange, but
userttmd it all to ovor-futlguo. Ho
drew nearer to hor, und rourrimgud hor
diadem, which hud half fallen from
tho fair, stately head.
“You nuvo all u qnoou's dignity, and
all u woman's oliann," ho said. “Oh,
Loonlo, was any ono ovor so full' and
so |merles* as you?"
Hho smiled; tho wino Imd given hor
a kind of courage that she mistook for
strength.
“Aro my jowols all In ordor, or nood
I send tor Klorottu?” sho asked, cure-
losly.
“Thoy aro In porfoot ordor. Your
apiKiuruncQ new Is my caro, 1/tonlo; It
concern* no onu but myself.”
Ho did not know what hud hapjiunod.
What would he suy or think when ho
had dlsoovorod that sho was simply
poor and obscuro Loonlo Haynor, tho
ox-guvornoss? Would it make any dif-
ference to his lovo?
Hho looked up at hlui.
‘Givo ino your urm, Uortrum. 1 must
go to tho ball-room. Hark! that Is my
favorite waltz. Toll mo before you go
—do you lovo me very much?"
A beautiful light came Into his face.
“You will nuvor know how much,
swoot.”
“Would you care just as much for mo
if I woro very jioor, and you know mo
only as Loonio Haynor?”
“.fust as much," ho roptlod, “my lovo
dros not dopondon your olrcumstancos.
If yon woro mado quoon to-morrow, I
should love you just as dearly; and if
to-morrow you became a boggur, it
would mako no difference In my affec-
tion nay, I sm wrong—I should lovo
you all tho bottor.”
“Is ittruo?” sho asked.
“Most assuredly it Is; tho only thing
I should regrot in that case would lie
that I am not a rich man that i could
not surround you with all tho luxury
and magniflcenco to which you have
boon accustomed."
“Aro you not rich, Bertram?” sho
askod, wistfully.
He laughod.
“No. my quoon—not what peoplo call
rich, in those luxurious timo*; my es-
tates are mortgaged. I wish that I
woro ilch enough to puichoso tho
whole world, so that I might endow
you with it."
“You shall not spoil that compliment
by any other,” Bho said; “we will go.
Where is my programme? I have
missed two dances. I have to apolo-
gize to two gontlomon Tho next is
tho ‘Lancers,’and I am engaged to Lord
Holdout;. Ho ought to thank mo for
thoso stiver buoklos.”
Thon from tho very depths of hor
young hnart thoro camo a most woeful
sigh. It he had nover askod for those
buckles, that will would porhaps nover
haveoome to light.
For a fow minutos after she re-en-
tered the ball-room, Loonio stood be-
wildered Then she rocoverod her-
self. Lord Holdeno camo up and
olTm'ntl a hundred Sltnlociflt fpl' having
mentioned thu silver buckles. Sno
looked up at him with a vague, dreamy
Bmile, as though sho did not oven un-
derstand tho word*. Sho was think-
ing to horsoif that it was not his fault
—that it was not what peoplo would
call fate or chance that had led her to
tho oak-room, but the very hand o
Providence, and ho had been led
thithor in order that justice might bo
done.
Thon Captain Flemyng saw hor and
hastened to hor.
“I could nut imagine what mado the
ball-room so suddenly grow cold and
dim, Lady Charnloigh,” ho said. "Why
have you been so long absent?"
“I have been searching in a haunted
room for silver buck'es,” she replied,
trying to still the quivering of hor lips
and spoak in hor natural voioe.
But something in tho tone struck
him as strange—a weary,.hopeless ring
that told of pain and sorrow. He looked
tenderly and anxiously at hor.
“You aro over tired, Lady Charn-
leigh. Let mo persuade you not to
dance, but sit down and rest.”
She laughod.
“No, I could not sit still; 1 like con-
tinual movement. Where is Ethel?
Is sho onjoying herself ?”
“Yos: and so is ovory one else. The
young ladies of the county ought to bo
deeply grateful to you; I have hoard
many ot them say that they never en-
joyed a n evening so much before. You
must givo us some more charades, Lady
Charnloigh, and more balls.”
She laughed again. How little ho
knew that this was the last night of
hor reign—that with the sunrise of tho
morrow all her wealth and magnifi-
cence would vanish into thin air-that
henceforward he would rule at Crown
Leighton, and givejballs and parties—
that he would succeed to the glorious
inheritance she had valued so!
“They shall remember ray last night
at Crown Leighton,” sho said to her-
self; “they shall talk of it, and tell oach
othor that I died a queen."
With Loonlo, to wilt was to do. She
called all her magnificent courage into
play, sho resolutely trampled under
foot all romembrnnee of the oaken
-chamber and what it eontainod, sho
reir.omberod only that this was hor
last ap] o irance as Countess of Charn-
! loigh, and tnat people must not for-
I get it.
| Such was the case; no one so brill-
iant or beautiful had boon Been there
I for many long generations. Hhe danced,
, and tho grace, tho perfection of her
movement, was marvelous: she talked,
and men gathered round her, charmed
| out of themsolvoB. She had nover been
so brilliant. Her anecdotes, her re-
parteos, her sparkling sallioi woro re-
peated one to tho other; hor beautiful
' taco grow brighter and more radiant
every minute. People no longer won-
dered at the spoil she cast around her;
there were men in that room who
thought that to have won a smile from
her they wc uld have gone through any
difficulty. As tho cloud < f homage rose
and teemed to float round hor, sho
smiled bitterly to herself, saying:
“It is my last triumph: to-morrow the
dark waves of poverty will rire and in-
gulf mo, and the world will hear no
more then of Loonio, Countess of
Charnloigh.” _
CHAPTER XXIX.
It was when tho ball was drawing to
aclcso that Paul Flomyng found an op-
portunity of slipping u folded paper
Into Lady Charnlelglrs ha'.ds.
“Head this, Loonio," he whispered,
"and | ermit me to call for tho answer
to-morrow. ’
She took it and p’aced it in the folds
of her dress. To.mirrow he would
know all—to-morrow he would be Lord
Charnleigh, and sho Lo nio Ifayner;
their positions would be reversed.
Then came the faint gray dawn of
tho June morning, and one by one the
guests departed from the brilliant
tcenc. Each visitor exp; eased so much
pleasure, and seemed so truly delight-
ed, that no greater compliment could
havo been paid t~ their hostess than
their regret at leaving.
"Give us another bAll woo, dear Lady
Cbtnilaifb,* whispered one of the
younger girls: “thu ha* been so do-
llghtfuir
Leonie laughod aloud; the young girl
started back at the harsh, unnatural
sound.
*1 atu tiro I, my dear,* said Leonie,
seeing tho startlod look; “remom Iter

pleaded, piteously. “I am so tired —

“1 will wait just as long as you
ploaro,” ho said. “You will lie mine In
tho ond, Loonlo; that la all I care for.”
A sudden impulse came over her to
throw horsoif Into his arms and toll
him all—ho would console and comfort
hor; but sho set hor foot resolutely
upon tho Impulse. This night should
pa,* over without hor secret bulng
known.
Ho sho stood until the Inst of hor
guests dlsapiwarod, graceful, bright,
ami charming to the ond, hor gay
words never faltering; thon she was
loft In that brilliant ball-room alone.
Hho looked around, with n flush on hue
fuoo, on the flower* and tho light*, the
wondrous combination* of color that
sho horsoif had cITectod.
“I havo diod a quoon," sho said. “I
havo not given way for ono moment.

WALKING ON STILTS,
It Is a Common Tracttc« to Ono Frovtnra
of Franco,
Tho majority of the pooplo In tho
wo. torn portion of the French province
of Gascony walk on stilts. That is a
district known as tho Landes, with u
sea lino bounding tho French side of
tho Hay of Hlscay and extending at its
greatest breadth about sixty miles
hack into tho country. Tho Landes
form ono of tho wildest and strangest
parts of Franco, and tho inhabitants
aro fully ub strange and uncultivated as
tho black pine forests, tho dreary
swamps and tho far-spreading desort*
of lino white sand which they inhabit.
Most of them aro shepherds, and they
elevate themselves on stilts llvo feet
high in order to bo above tho marshes
ana the sand blasts. Thoso sttlt-wulkers
present strange and uncouth figures as
thoy progress ovor tho wilderness of
country In attendance on their flocks,
sometimes at tho rate of six or seven
miles an hour. They rost by tho aid
of a third wooden support, pursuing
meanwhile their everlasting occupa-
tion of knitting. In appearance tho
Landes shepherd looks like an uncouth
mass of dirty wool. On his body ho
woars a fleece like a rude paletot, his
thighs and legs on the outside are pro-
tected by greavosof the same material,
and his foot are encased in sabots and
c> arse woolen socks.
In some parts of Malaysia tho nativos
walk almost habitually on stilts. Na-
ture and necessity haro brought alxmt
this result, as excessive inundations of
rivor and soa often submergothe whole
surface of tho land in many places, ren-
dering ordinary modes of locomotion
impossible. In parts of Holland also it
is a very ordinary sight to see pooplo
walking about upon stilts of various
sizes. _
London's Anarchist*.
Tho outrages committed lately by
Spanish anarchists at Barcelona nave
caused tho greatest indignation all
over the world. Speaking of them and
their fellows in Ixmdon tho European
correspondent of the New York Hun
writes from there as follows: Amid all
tho dark topics which monopolize Eu-
ropean attention, Spain furnishe, tho
blackest. The dynamite outrage in
Burcolona i„ of general European im-
portance in soveral ways, it has
aroused universal detestation of the
vile miscreants who aro again operating
over a wide field, and it Is effectually
demonstrating tho necessity for tho
closest co-operation of all countries for
thoir extermination. Tho authorities
of Spain virtually doclare that they
cannot copo with tho evil without the
assistance of Paris and London. Paris
has promptly responded, and every re-
source of tho police has been placed at
tho disposal of the Spanish officers.
I rend "n continues to harbor tho
largest and most dangerous nest of
those vermin, probably because sho
selfishly bolievos she thus insures her-
self against their attacks inasmuch os
they have no other European retreat
to which to floe. So we had the spec-
tacle recently of a mooting of these
creatures in this city at which they

Exhibited the Corpse In the Window.
In Philadelphia the other day there
was a striking evidence of the intense
desire of some people to ‘exhibit the
remains" -t funerals. A man had died
of diphtheria and the authorities very
properly refused to permit a public fu-
neral. So the family had the coffin
containing the corpse stood on end in
front of a window of the house so that
the face of the deed oould be viewed

This may be lawyers’ justice, but it
doesn't seem the justice of common
sense nor lg it tinged with one streak
of Christianity. Sentencing tho arch
betrayer of widows and orphans and
the embezzler of $1,000,000 to undergo
a less severe sentence than that inflict-
od on a youthful and an ignorant boy is
not the way to impress the .American
people or anybody else that we are liv-
ing under equal laws. Sing Sing is u lit

should bo the place for the youthful
sttaler of a watch, locket and chain.

EASTER roa ROLLINGS AT THE WHITE UOtJSE
many may bo seen waiting at the closed
gates; at 8 o’clock these aro opened
wide, and the eager children, dresred
in holiday attire, flock in, each ono
carrying a basket or box of colored,
hard-boiled eggs.
There is no distinction; all classes
and conditions are equally welcome.
There is no limit to ago; the child who
can scaroely walk alone and tho girl
and boy of 16 are alike welcome. Many
of the wee tots are accom; anied by
colored nurses, who, if we can judge
by their dusky faces all aglow with
smiles, expect to enjt y tho pleasures
of the day quite as much as tho chil-
dren.'
Some very elegant carriages a-e
driven to tho ground i; in fa it, before
noon there is a long line of them, and
the drivers wait for hours while tho
little pooplo enjoy tho sport.
There is a certain way of rolling the
eggs, and the tradition is that those
who roll tbo greatest number without
breaking any are to lie the most suc-
cessful Tn life. It is interestin' to
wateh the young folks whil 1 they en-
gage in this game, ail seeming to fully
appreciate the honor of playing hen.
They arc trulythe happiest of children
as their merry laugh and joy ul excla-
mations ring and echo throughout the
•atiro domain; nothing rude or dis-
courteous is heard or seen to mcr the
innocent festivities.
The Inclosed grounds consist of about
twenty ox-res, handsomely laid out, con-

Teinn Hospitality.
* Tho Inich-string hangs out." ex-
pressed the hospitality of the South-
ern frontier, in the days "before the
war." If a traveler rode up before
the fence that separated the log cabin
from the road, lie was greeted by,
‘-'Light, stranger, ’light" Without
this salutation no one dismounted;
but it was rarely withheld. 4lr.
Williams, in Ills recent book, "Sam
Houston," thus describes the impulse
of hospitality, which mado every
traveler a guest, during the early
settlement of Texas: 1
Tho traveler who rode up to ttio
front fence was instantly invited to
al ght. His horse was staked out or
hobbled to food on the prairie grass,
a:,il the visitor sat down to exchange
tlie news with his host. The coffee-
I mill was set going, if there were any
of tho precious grains in the house,
and the hopper in the hollow mg to
grinding the corn. The venislon; or
bear meat was put on the coals and
the ash-cake baked.
After the meal and the evening
pipe, tho visitor .stretched himself on
a buffalo robe on the floor with the
mem' ers of tho fam ly, and slept the
sleep of health and fat gue In the.
morning the responso to any inqu'ry
as to the char e was, "You can pay
me hv coming again."
The story that a certain hospitable
settler used to waylay travelers on
the road, and compel them to visit
him at the mu zle of a double-bar-
rolled shotgun, was only a humorous
exaggeration of the instinct for hos-
pitality which characterized tho com-
munity.
The visitor was a living newspaper,
who brought the only news obtain-
able, and was u welcome relief to tho
monotony and loneliness of the wild-j
erne.<9.
