Ending; All around hor the golden glory of iummor-time, in the distance groan hills lifting their verdure crowned heads to Heaven, and at her feet the rippling waves. A girl, dreaming a girl’s day dream —dreaming of her lover and his love for hor. And he did love hor. What groater bliss could earth hold for her than that? True he , had never told her so in words; but every action showed the passionate tenderness of his heart where Evelyn Clayton was concerned. Gerard Carrlshroke, the mastorof the sti^ely mansion whoso granite t-owors she could see from the windows of her cottage home, loved her, and earth was fairer, tho flowers brighter, tho sky bluer since the glad truth had broken over her soul. Her life had boon bright enough be­ fore at the cottage homo of her idolized sister, dark-eyed Iona, the potted bride fal a year—bright onough before, but it' was glorified now. Her womanhood was crownod with glory sinco Gerard Carrlsbroko first looked into hor lovely, earnest eyes. She was vory beautiful, this Evelyn Clayton, with a rare, fair loveliness,’ with eyes of turquoise-blue and lialr of Titan gold, with level brows and swoop­ ing lashes; low, whito forehead, and crimson mouth- . Standing thoro, with tho glow of tho sunset falling around her, she was fair as a poet’s droam, hor robo of pale-blue Indian musllrt clinging gracefully to the slender, .girlish form, the faint sea breeze tossing the red gold tendrils of hair into closer rings on her brow, and deepening the rose flush on her delicate cheeks. And then there was a stop on tho sand —-a slight, firm stop—and it was almost at her side before she turned her dainty head and raised‘ her lovely eyes to the face of Gerard Carrlsbroko. “I have been to tho cottago just now,” he said, “ and they told me you were here, and”—with a happy laugh—“ hero am I as well and—sweetheart! swcot- heartl”—breaking off with a passion of love in his voico that made tho girl tremble—“ sweetheart, tell raej amwel- ,come!” “ Welcome!”—the sweet voice low, the lovely eyes drooping beneath his glance -V'you know you'are Welcome.” “ Evelyn, do you know how I would he welcomed by you as a lover, my dar­ ling? As tho Irish maiden welcomed her lover: "Come la the evening or como in the morning, Come when you’re looked for or como without warning, Kisses and welcome you'll And here before you; And the oftoner you come, love, tho moroI'U idore you.” Evelyn laughed lightly. “ llashfulnesB could hardly bo classed among your failings,’’Abo said. Gerard’s OyCs^wore resting on her face, all his passionate love gleaming in their depths. “ Evelyn,” your heart must have told you hew I love you*’* he said. “ Sweet­ heart, can you give me your heart in re­ turn tor. mine—your love for the pas­ sionate, deathless love-1 effor -you?” - There was a moment's silence) th* girl’s face grew pale, her slender form trembled, “ Darling, have I frightened you? Evelyn, speak to me." “ Frightened me? Well, hardly that” - the color coming back to her face; "but oh, Gerard! Gerard, I am not wor­ thy of such a passionate love!” . i'Worthy? My love! ray queen!” It was well they were alone, though after all it would have made little dif­ ference. for the next momontaho was folded close in his arms, his passionate -love-kisses falling like rain on her lips and brow and red-gold hair.t “ 'Oh, for anhourwhere the eun'first foundns, Out onthe beachwithhis red cloatfroandual Oh, for anhour, andyou, love, nearme, None hut thewavesandyou to hearmel* “All day the words of that sweetest of love-songs have rung in my ears, Evelyn,” ho said. “ 'Oh, for an hour, andyou, love, nearmo, None but the waves andyouJohoarme!'" And it was all love, sweet love, that the waves listened to, and noword spoke ho then of the failing of all tho Carris- brohes; no word loft.his lips of the.ter­ rible jealousy that was a Carrisbroko inhorituncu,a curse that had wrecked the happiness of many bright lives of his name, . , So tho bright, sweet summer passed, and Evelyn Clayton grow fairer, if pos­ sible, in tbe happy bliss of her swoot lovo-dream—the lovo-dream so soon to know a bitter awakening. And then, when- all was fair.,and bright and life like a oloudloss summer sky, the shadow fell, tbe shadow that darkened life for Evelyn Clayton, dark­ ened the fair lovo-dream that, had boon so madly, so perilously sweet *‘Jn lore, ff lora be love antflove be ears, Faith and unfalth cun ne’er bo equal powers, TJnfaithInaught is want of faith Innil.” . That was Evelyn Clayton’s belief until the day Gerard Carrisbroko’s mad jealousy laid he? life barren and bare before her. - Ahd yet, was ho so much to blame? God only knows! Perhaps few lovers- wo.uli-havo taken it leas lightly. It was' when hope was highest and love brightest that the gloaming came- Even after many days, tho memory came back to her with all the old pain and ag’onyof the moment She was standing on thocliff with her lover, when she had come face to face with Franklin Emerson. His dark eyes met hors in recogni­ tion for a moment, and a mocking smile corved his lips at the sudden pallor of her face. That nlglit' a note lay In’her hand. “ I must see you,” it ran. “ Moot mo below tho'cliffs at eight o’clock to­ night” Her face grew pal© as doath. “ 1 will not go,’ ’ she cried, “ and yet - - Oh, Iona, my sister! Ob, Godin Heaven! what will 1 do?” . And then, as a promiso' given to tho dying crossed her mind, she lifted a wrap, and, throwing it around her houd and shoulders, stole from the house. A man stood waiting hor coming. - “ You recognize mo?” ho said, a pecu­ liar smile curving his lips as his eyes fell oh her face. “ Yes, I know you, Reginald Emer­ son, and £ simply ask the price of your silence.” He laughod again.- “ Your memory does you credit," bo said. “ I believe you only saw—” “Neiror mind!” cutting across kls words, “ I have asked the price of your silence." 1The'man laughed as he answered her. “ I will bring you it here n't tills time to-morrow,” the girl said; and then without another word she turned away —turnod away and went quickly around the edge of tho cliff, and came face to face with Gerard Carrisbroko. Gerard Carrisbroko; but not tho hand­ some, bright-fttcod lover, whose eyes had never' looked with aught but love upon hor; but a man whoso vory lips wore whito with passion, whose dark eyes gleamed with jealous rage, whoso every feature was convulsed with the tempest, tossing his soul and lashing his insane passion to fury. “ So you have left your other lover, Evelyn?” he said; “ but scarcely ex-* pectcd to meet your dupo as you left him.” "My God! Gerard, are you mad?” tho girl cried, holding out her hands in pas­ sionate pleading. “ Yes, 1am mad—or, rather, havo been mad, mad. to havo trusted your fair, false ’taco. Evelyn Clayton, do you know wliafc you havo done? Wrecked a man’s life, his hope, bis happiness and destroyed his faith in the truth of women.” * " “ I have done nothing to be ashamed of,” she answered, her pride coming to hor aid. ' Gerard caught her hand, “ Look at me, and answer me!’ * he said, “ Who i§ that man you met, and what is ho in you? Answer me that, Evolynl” “ I can not tell you, Gerard.” she said, quietly, her eyes full on his face. “ Can not toll mo! My God! Evelyn! Can not toll me, and you my promised Wife?” She laid her hand lightly on his arm. “ I love you, Gerard,” she said. “ I am loyal ahd truo to you; but I can tell you nothing about the man I mot to-night. Dearest, can you not trust mo?” -•“ Trust you? No! No woman-will bear the Sacred name of wife to me whoso past—” “ I will certainly not bear it,” she said, proudly; “ you aro free—perfectly free, as far as I am coticerned, Mr, Car­ rlsbroko.” , The noxt moment she had drawn his ring off her flngfbr and' laid* it in his’ htr.d. “ I will keep it as a memento of the faithfulness of woman,” he said. 'then he turned and left hor standing there—standing a moment white and motionless, tho noxt she throw up her hands with a bitter cry, and sunk white l and motionless under the pitying light of the rising moon. Along, low, level stretch of sand, and a girl standing with weary, wistful eyes looking over tlio bright blue waters that rippled to her feet. It was Eyolyn Clayton, but only * shadow of tho fair, bright girl who had pledged her lovo to Gerard Carrisbroko two years before. Standing alone, AM so utterly, so wearily •alone, for to love once with Evelyn Clayton wqs to love forever. Suddenly down the slope onmo a slender form, and her sister's soft, dark eyes looked into hers with a strango ex­ pression in their- dreamy depths—the sister for whoso sake she bad sacrificed so much, the sister whom her dying, father had made her promiso to think, first andalways of. “ Corne home, Evelyn/’ Iona said. “Oh, Evelyn, howcan 1 tvl'you, only—r” How she told it she could never tell, only Evelyn understood that there had been a railroad accident, and among tho dangerously injured brought to their home as the nearest place was Gerard Carrisbroko. ‘ ’__ , “ And some oho else, Evelyn/! Tona said. “ Reginald Emerson's twin HOUSEHOLD BREVITIES. brother, and, Evelyn, ho has told me of your fatal mistake In takinghimfor Regi­ nald hjmsolf, and tho cowardly advant­ age he took of it, and-—oh, sister,‘ sister, what you must havo suffered, believing mb to be the wife of two husbands, for tho divorce granted rao was only a, way to take me oii-t of-his power,” Evely n caugh t her sister’s hand. ■■Iona*you know now of my meeting with that man, do y.ou mean—ah! kind Heaven, do you mean—” . “1 mean He' was not the man 1 mar­ ried in my early girlhood and fled from; ‘he was dead before I. became Phillip’s wife; that man was his twin brother. Evelyn, was that what came between you and Gerard Carrisbroke?” . “ He saw me meet him and refused to trust me,” Evelyn said, “ and I could n o t! tell him yhnt I believed to be the truth.” . Two hours later Iona sought Evelyn. “ Evelyn, will you go to him—to Gerard? ahd Evelyn, bo kind to him.” Evelyn’s face grow pallid. “ Is he—is he1worse, Iona?” - “No. He will live, they say./’ .A moment later Evelyn stood.by tho couch where Gerard lay, her cool hand resting on his brow, her beautiful eyes, filled with woman’s tenderost love, rest­ ing on his pallid face. ■ Ills eyes opened, bis lips parted, and sho bent down hor head to hoar what ho wisV'd to say. . ■ “ fona has .told mo all. Evelyn, can you— Oh, my level my love! forglvo- me!’” ho cried. Sho was only a woman, and sho loved him, and she bent her head still lower till her lips touched his brow. . “ I lovo you, Gerard," was all sho said.. But he knew he was forgiven—for­ given bis mad folly and all she had suf­ fered in tho two wonry years. It was months, long months beforo Gorard Carrisbroko waB himself again; but when onco more strength came to his limbs” add tho huo of health to his cheeks, he knew tho demon of joalousy was laid forover and that his lovo and faith would nover waver again, for “Love, took up the liarp of life, and smote op- all the chords with ml;:ht, i Smote the chord of self that, trembling, pa4se<l in music out of sight.” , it'}*. —L. M. Mulhorn, in Chicago Daily Nows. THE WINGED LIZARD. A Strango Creature Found in the Wild* of Southern Asia and India. ' One of tho strangest of the many strange creaturos that inhabit tho wilds of Southern Asia and India is tho “ flying flowers,” a small, brilllant-hued lizard of tho order braolovans. On tho wing braclovans resembles a richly- tinted insect; whon at rest it compares favorably with others of the lizard tribo with tho exception that it has an extraordinary protuberanco on both sides of tbe body. These are the wings! which aro formed by a cutaneous flap, wing-liko in shape, supported by a series of false ribs. In. color these flying lizards aro blue and gray, with intermediate tln'ts of various kinds and shades. Tbo tail Is long, slender and very snaky in appearance; a large double pbuch extending below tbe bead adds to the ferocious aspect of tho little rainbow-colored bffi te. Tho wings ard not true wmgs, strictly so-called, but aro used merely as 'parachutes. Whon the lizard leaps from the limb of a treo into tho alr„ tho upper current brings them out and enables tho possessor to soar away at an angle to a.greater or lesser distance, according to the height of tho starting point. Tho lizard can chango its direction while in tho air, a power not possessed by our “ flying squirrels.” ficneo tho casual observer might readily bcliovo that thfty had tho power of moving tho wing-like appendages, which would, In that case, be truo flight, Soaring is, however, tlio limit of thfiir power, the height of tho starting, paint regulating tho distance traveled in tho soaring flight, which is quite frequently floveral hundred yards, an aorial exhibition which strikes terror to tho heart of a stranger wandering for tho first time in the jungles of tho Antipodeanwilds.—St LouisRepublic. —“ Miss Clara,” ho remarked, as he reached for his hat, “ I trust that you do not view my going with anger.” “An­ ger, Mr. Barlow!” replied his idol, who had declined to receive him as a wor­ shiper; “ on tho contrary, it gives ms joy.”—Harper's Bazar, . —Drop Ginger Cookies.—One cap each of molasses ap.d° sour cream, one-half eup of sugar,‘ono egg, one toasnoonfui each of soda, ginger and cinnamon, and three heaping cups of flour, Drop in spoonfuls on a dripping pan. - Bake quickly. ’ —If jolly does not “ form” . tho next day after being made, it is useless to cook it over.

The article on poison oak and poison ivy recalls to ray mind another stinger that sportsmen are very apt to fall in with when trampling bottom lands ad­ joining creeks and marshes when /in quest of woodcock or ducks. I refer to the common nettle, and most of your readers who frequent such places have no doubt made its acquaintance, and much to their annoyance. Growing rank in such places, sometimes shoulder high, it is very annoying to both man and dog; indeed, I have seen dogs complete­ ly used up with it, Whllo the sportsman only partially esca^icd by holding his bandsaaiiMO his- head-wban pushing through the rank mafcs. I have often been punished by this vile weed, and until two years ago knew of no anti­ dote, hut I then found ono in this wise: I had gone on the invitation of a rural friend to inspect a low marshy creek which in seasons when the water re­ mained high abounded in .ducks; and if prospects woro good wo intended to lay plans for tho opening of tho sea­ son, then s«/no. two weeks distant While teaming through tho woods and marsh' adjoining tlio creek I had my hands severely stung with the nottles, nhich were Very rank, My friend said: “ Why suffer? tho cure is at hand,” and reaching out, he gfasped a handful of the soft ahd tender ferns which are al­ ways found growing in such places, and handing them to me, directed mo to rub them well on tho afflicted parts. Well, 1 did so, and I must say with consider- alfle lack of faith; hut tax-»tof*in less time than it takes to tolL it tho smart­ ing and pain had all gone; yes, and gone not to return, until another brush through the nettles made another ap­ plication necesdary.
