The dear old vicar will read them in his sleepy tones : “ ‘ I publish the bum! of marriage for the first time between Lancelot Chandos and Leone Noel.’ No one will hear the names plainly, and those who do will not know to whom they belong, and there will be no impediment ; will there, Leone ?” asked “No impediment,” it seemed to say ; “no impediment, Leone.” “ There is no fear. Nothing can ever be done without risk; but there is no risk thereâ€"ac least, none that I fear to run. I guarantee that not one person in that church hears those names clearly. Then you will see that, I have arranged every detail. Then, when the three weeks have expired, we will meet there some fine morning and be married. I have a friend who will come with me Asawitness. After that. Ipropqse that we go to London. and there I‘shill introduce'you to my father first ; then we WIll go dowu to Cawdor to my mother. Do you like the plan Leone?” “Ishould like it much better if they could know of it beforehand," she replied gravely.

Unlike most villagers, the people do not seem to know each other, you do not hear any gossip; the people, the houses, the streets, all seemed sleepy together. At one end of the village is a. church, one of the most quaint, an old Nor- man church, that has stood like a. monu- ment while the storms of the world raged around it ; the vicar is the Reverend Josiah Barnes." “ How do you know What I am thinking of ‘3” she asked. as ihey lingér on the filling waste}.

And now. Leone, let me tell you my plans. They are all rather underhand, but we cannot help that ; everything is fair in love and war. About twenty miles from here there isa sleepy little village called Oheton. I was there yesterday. and it. was there that this plan came to me. Oh, my darling, turn your sweet face to me and let me be quite sure that you are listening." “ I am listening, Lance," she said. “ No, not with all your heart. See how well I understand you. Your eyes linger on the water, and the falling of it makes music, and the rhyme of the music is : “ ‘ These vows were all forzot‘ten, The ring asunder broken.‘ inked.

Marry me, and I can take you to them and say, ‘This is my wife.’ They could not help receiving you then, because the marriage could not be undone, and my mother, with her worldly tact will make the best of it then If I ask per- mission to marry you, they will never grant it ; if I marry you, they will be compelled to forgive it.” She drew herself half proudly from him. “I do not wish any one to be compelled to receive me, nor do I wish to be the cause of unpleasantness, " she said. " My darling, all lovers have something to suffer, The course of true love cannot run smooth. Surely you would not desert me, or forsake me, or refuse to love me be- cause I cannot change the opinion of my conservative parents. I know no Indy, no peeress in England, who is halfso beautiful, so clever as youâ€"not one. I shall be more proud to take you home as Lady Chandos than if you Were a queen's daughter. You believe me 7" “ Yes, I believe you,” she replied. “ Never mind any one else, Leone.

Lord Chnndos continued : “ I know my parents well; my father is inflexible on some pomts, but easily Influ- enced; my mother is, I believe, the proud< est women in the wide world. Iknow that she expects something wonderful from me in the way of marriage ; 1 hardly think that there is 8. peeress In England that my mother would deem too good for me. and it would wound her to the heart should I marry a. woman beneath me in rank.

He plaCed the ring securely on her finger, then kissed the white hand. “ How angry you were with me the first time I kissed your hand," he said; “and now I have all your heart. There will be neither broken vows nor a. broken ring for us, Leone, no matter what the water sings or says.” “I hope not." says the girl. brightly. “ I shall take possession of my lodgings at Oheton to-morrow," he said. Ishall have to spend some little time there; but you must promise that I shall see you every evening, Leone. Will you find yonr way to the mill-wheel? When we are married, I shall try to buy the mill, the stream, and the land all round it ; it will he a. sacred spot to me. In three weeks, Leone, you will be my wife.” “ Yes," she replied, “in three weeks.” The wind fell, the ripple of the green leaves ceased, the birds had sung themsel» ves to sleep, only the water ran laughineg “ 1' am quite an willing to be marred as to be married," said Lhe young lord, “and married I will be if all the powers on eanh conspire against met” “Lance,” cried the girl, suddenly, “ do you know what the water saysâ€"can you hear it ‘2" “No,” he replied, with a. laugh ; I have not; such a vivul fancy as you.

Lord Chahdos laughed ; his handsome face was flushed and eager. “ You will prize it all the more because it has been dipped in your favorite stream.” he said. “Give me your hand again, Leone; we shall have better fortune this time.” “ This is what IadieE call an engagement- riug," he said; “ let me put it. on your fin- geE-n How strange that by this stream you should offer me a ring !” “ You seem to think there is a. fatality in the vygter, Leon_e," he sai_d, quietly. “ I have an idea that: I cinnob' express, but it. seems to me that, story is told in the falling water.” “If the water tells of a. golden bright life. all happiness with the most devoted and loving of husbands, Lhen it may tell you as much as in likes. Let me put: the ring on your finger, Leone.” She held out her handâ€"such a beautiful hand, with a soft, pink palm and tapering fingers.

You promise me, then Leone, my love, to do V\ hat I ask. and (o be my own beloved wife, when the three weeks are over 7" “ Yes, I promise, Lance,” she replied. Her voice was grave and sweet, her beautiful face had on it the light of a beau~ tiful and noble love. “Then kiss me, as the children say, of your own accord. and let. that kiss be our betrothal." She raised her lips to his for the first time and kissed him. . There was no resisting the pleading of the handsome young face. the loving eyes, the tender words, the passionate kisses ; she could not resist them ; it was so sweet to be loved so well. “My darling, there is only one thing that. can bring trouble on me and than would be to lose You ; hat would kill me.

Section three of the electoral franchise act, passed at the recent session of the House of Commons, reads as follows :â€" “For the purposes of the revision in the present year, section fifteen of the electoral franchise act, as the said section is enacted by section four of chapter eight of the stat- utes of 1890, as amended by section two of chapter eighteen of the statutes of 189l, shallbe read and construed as if the words ‘first day of June inleach year’ in the first and second lines thereof were struck out and the words ‘ first day of August‘ substituted therefor, and as it the word ‘Augnst' in the fourteenth line of subsection five thereof were struck out and the word ‘ October ’ substituted therefor.” Séction two of chapter eighteen of the statutes of 1891 substituted for the word August the words “ up to but not later than the fifteenth day of August." As the act of 1894 applies to the enactment of 1890 as amended by the act of l89l,declarauons for the preliminary revision must be received by the revising officer “up to but not later than October fifteenth." One of the most bathing of the numerous sanitary problems of London Eng., is the abnormally high mortality from diphtheria. The number of deaths was actuall y 3,265 last year,which is very greatly in excess of the rate of mortality in the provinces, and is even stated to be a. rate three times as high as that of the unsanitary cities of the east. What is the cause of this? Some authorities ascribe it to the evil system of collecting the refuse of the metropolis in baskets and carrying it through houses to the cart on the street, the germs af disease being prone.ny scattered in that way. Medical opinion seems to be divided as to the efficacy of the injections advocated by The British Medical Journal as a. new cure for this terrible malady.

Your tastes are not formed yet ; that which pleases you now you will dislike in ix or ten years' time. I assure you that; if you marry this farmer’s niece now, in ten years’ time you will repent it in sackcloth and ashes. She is not fit, either by manner. education, or anything else. to be your mother's daughter, and you know it. ; you know that when the glamour of her beauty is over you will wonder as your own madness and folly.

Some twenty guests were present, and a beautiful sight was presented when all were seated at table. Lovely fruits and flowers graced the board. Beautiful ladies and famous men in the highest spirits surrounded it. The glass sides to the saloon were withdrawn, and we sat at dinner in the midst of a fairy scene. Already some of the yachts had begun their illuminations. The town of Cowes and the quay were gay with colored lights. Beautiful music was being discours- ed from the upper deck. After dinner and cigars, the electric launches were ordered alongside and we were all conveyed to the Royal Yacht Sqadron headquarters, in order to gaze on the fireworks in ease and comfort. The work of transporting the whole company was carried out with the greatest ease and comfort in a few moments. each guest being told off to a boat. On landing at the squadron boatslip, we were conducted to the balcony of‘the club house, where the fireworks began with the firing of a. gun. It was a beautiful night, and the scene could not be matched by any country except England. Those of “Asiauming thnc dinner was MS or 8.30, this would give me ample time to dress. To dress!

A fresh breeze was blowing from the west. and the flags of the yachts, the guardehip. the Vic- toria and Albert, and the Osborne, flew stiflly from their respective masLe. Reaching Cowes at 5 o’clock, I went to the hotel in the first instance to get a. cup of tea and a httle rest after my journey from town.
