11 You are right, my child,'' he said: ■i* your mother pardons you, and if yon give effect to your resolution, I will bless you; for I need, even more than you, that prayers may go up to Heaven for pardon." " Ludka 1" cried San-Vitale: " do. not **do not abaudon me; I love you." " My resolution is taken," said Ludka. M. de Montevrain continued: •' To-morrow we will start, and I will restore you to the care of the superior. " Poor child 1" murmured Mme. de Montevrain, looking at Clotilde; " How you must have suffered." "A month ago," said Robert; "the accomplices of this Italian were prowl* ing round the house.'' "That is a mistake," said San-Vitale, taking up his hat. "A mistake?" cried Robert, and seiz ing hold of him violently by the left arm, he tore off his glove, underneath which appeared a jointed wooden hand. The Italian's wrist was covered by a band of black silk. Robert then narrated the circumstan ces with which our story opened, and said —" This is the man who escaped at such a fearful cost," and, turning to San- Vitale, cried :" And now, sir, begone I Were it not for the intercession of my betrothed, I would hand you over to the authorities, to be dealt with as you de* ■erve. Francis, show this gentleman the door." When San-Vitale had departed, CIo« tilde and Robert sought a secluded spot in the garden and spent a blissful hour in talking over recent events. Clotilde informed her lover that her father had told her all about himself and Ludka, and then poured into Robert's ear the •tory M. de Montevrain had related (0 her. Part of this, the young man had already heard, but he loved too well to listen to Clotilde's sweet voice to make any interruption. " I was a long time, 1' she said, " in persuading my father that I was really Clotilde, and not the daughter f>r whom he had been searching since her disappearance from the convent. 1 did not quite succeed in doing so until we had reached his house, and I had had a long talk with him. You see, Ludka and I almost exactly resemble one another." "Yes, dearest, the likeness is very remarkable. I suppose your father was quite at a loss to account for your abduc tion." "He was utterly in the dark until the arrival of Doctor Marbeau, but had be gun to take steps to unravel the mystery.* '" It seems rather strange to me/ said Robert, "that San-Vitale should have allowed you such unlimited freedom in Paris. The only reason I can conceive j is that he must have thought that if you had returned home you would have been unable, owing to your likeness to Ludka, to have proved that/0« were not an im postor." Clotilde meditated for a few moments, and then said : "You are right, Robert. The re marks of San-Vitale in reference to my resemblance to Ludka, and the question addressed to you as to whether you had picked me up in the Rue dv Colysee, showed that that was his idea." "It was a daring scheme, cleverly carried, out, my own, and I thank God that he has frustrated the villanous de signs of which you were the chief victim." We will draw the veil over the scene which followed, feeling confident that even the most stupid of readers can very well imagine it. Whilst Clotilde and Robert were in the garden M. and Mme. de Montevrain were engaged in earnest conversation, at the conclusion of which they were both very much happier than they had been for many years. Of course they were to some extent pained by thoughts of their erring daughter, but were a good deal comforted by the belief that she had thoroughly repented. Ludka had gone to the room which had been hers during her stay at the chateau, and there, upon her knees, fervently prayed that her sins might be forgiven. She prayed aloud, but her petitions were broken by many a flood of tears. It was perfectly clear that •he was heartily sorry for her misdeeds. A few days after the marriage of Clo tilde with Robert de la Mire took place. The bride was no exception to the general rule, but looked positively charm ing, and Robert, who considered himself the most fortunate indvidual on the face of the earth, made a handsome and manly bridegroom. M.de Montevrain and his wife were very proud of the young couple, and when they were properly settled in their home, visited them frequently. General de La Mire and the old friends of the family who have been introduced to the reader, were also regular and wel come visitors. One evening, Frontenay, who was sup ping with Stanislas and Wilhelmine sud denly strucic the table with his hand, crying out: " By the way, I met San-Vitale to-day j lie looked fearfully shabby, and out at elbows. Ludka has become converted ; she has renounced Satan and all his works, and returned to her convent." "God bless her!'\said Wilhdmine, and helping herself to a slice of truffled galantine, she added: " I always said that girl was a bit of a saint at bottom 1" (THE END).

RESERVE FOR EMERGENCIES

Partisan: " The opposition press has found out all about your shady career. How can you meet their truthful accusa tions?" Politician: "I am impregnable." 11 How so r " I still have left that strong reserve for such emergencies.o "What?" 11A dignified silence."

Luck is a good thing to have, but, no one will deny, it is a poor thing to vva# for.

NO TIME TO WRITE.

A Brief Mote from the "Household Drudge."

Indeed the lot o£ woman is hard. Has it not been dinned into our ears since we were young? I She is the slave and serf of selfish man. Hers is the work that never ends. She is the one who, to give ease and comfort to her worse half, the brute! and let him dally in the lap of ease and luxury, must sacrifice her young life, her beautiful hands, her everything else and carry one on the altar of work. At the very hottest curl of the hofc wave I picked up a letter in the street which bore eloquent testimony to these pathetic facts. I hate to print it because it bears ho heavily upon the laziness of pater familias and the ease and luxury with which he surrounds himself at the expense of his family. Ido not like to give my own sex away, as it were, but a stern sense of duty nerves me on. So here goesi I BERKSUUtBVUJiB, MOSS. 1 Mr Own Dbabmt, Darmwo Hubby—Yon do not know how lonely we all are without yon. Why don't you just drop your hateful business and come up here for a week or two? I am sure the old store would keep right on running if you were not in it. Did you send the check for fifty dollars for the board last week? It has not put in an ap pearance. It seems dreadfully stupid here. Thera are only three or four nice young men in the place. Of course I have no trouble in keeping them out of the hands of the young girls, for they know I have no designs upon them and feel i correspondingly at ease in my society. Besides, I rather think they like me. Those children will be the death of me yet. Here am I trying to economize and they all the time making trouble and expense. I have just paid a sewing woman two dollars for mending their stockings and putting new seats in their pants. Last night Raphael knocked over one of the Etruscan ewers in my bedchamber. The landlord says he regrets exceedingly the accident, as the set was a very rare one, and he shall be forced to put down ten dollars in my bill for the broken, pitcher. It has been awfully hot here and we have suffered dreadfully. If Mother Eve had been here last night I verily believe Bbc would have slept without the fig leaf. I envy you the big, cool house in the city all to yourself. Calipso broke my bottle of hair bleacher last night. Wish you would go to Mme. Rubens and get another bottle and send it up by ex presa. While you are about it you might as well hare her put up the usual set of toilet ne cessities, the §15.50 set, as lam nearly out. She will understand. We had a delightful excursion yesterday to Hornswoggle mountain, and picnicked in the glen. A mosquito bit me just between the shoulders, where I could not possibly reach it to scratch, and I suffered excruciating agonies all night. I was just able to reach it with my shoehorn and that was all. The man charged sixteen dollars for the wagon, and as I had so many children I had to pay half. Isn't the price rather high? By the way, lam all out of money, and if you want me to do what is right and proper by the collection plate you must lend me some right away. There is going to be a grand hop here next Saturday night and I have positively nothing fit to wear. I wish you would get the pearl colored slippers out of the second drawer in the back room bureau. Tako them to Blank's and ask them to match tlio color with some of their grosgrain §3.50 silk and send to me at once. There is a very nice and killingly cheap dressmaker here, and I guess with prompt work on your part that we will pull through. I have signed a subscription paper for five dollars to put a new coat of paint on the Epis copal church here. Please send check for the amount. It looks more respectable to give in that shape, and there is no mistake about the donor. Make check payable to me so I can in dorse it. You poor, dear boyl I wish I had the time to write you a nice long letter, but I have been invited by Jack Assford to take a ride to Blum tum mountain, and so for today you must put up with this hurried little scrawl. You must be dreadfully forlorn keeping bachelor's hall without any servant^ and yet I suppose we must economize until you get a rise of salary. I almost died laughing at your description of how you sleep in an nnmade bed and try to cook over that horrid little gas stove. ElsJo, my nursemaid, said this morning that she wanted to go buck to the city. She seemed quite set on goingl, and I had to bribe her with an offer of five dollars move a month in order to keep her. It would be impossible to get a girl here. Well, good by. There are several little com missions I wanted you to do for mo, but Mr. Assford is calling now and I have not got tho time to think of them. Your lonely little wife, EVANGEUNE. ~New York Herald.

Disqualified.

A strapping young fellow appeared be fore the committee of inspection. "You claim exemption from military service?" inquired tho presiding officer. "Yes, sir." "On what grounds?" "I am subject to a most serious afflic tion." "Step into the next room!" "But, sir" "Step into the next room!" "Why, it isn't" "Step into the next room!" Our man entered the adjoining apart ment, where he was made to undress from head to foot, after which he presented him self again before the committee, this time sans coat, sans vest, sans everything." Officer—-Will you now tell us what is your infirmity? ' Recruit—l am shortsighted!— Figaro.

Well Meant, but Awkwardly Put.

"So gla,d ycr. L.iven't forgotten me, dear Lord Varicose. I was afraid you would after so many years!" "Oh, no, Miss Evergreen. I never forget old faces!"—Du Maurier in Punch. '

Hard to Work.

''You have been promising me steady employment; I have beea coming here five or six times a day and you haven't found me that employment yet. I want the two dollars back I gave you," said an angry man to the superintendent of a New York intelligence office. !'How far do you live from here?" Jllt's two miles if it's an inch." "'lf you come that distance five or six times a day, don't you think you have got as much steady employment as you need, eh?"— Texas Siftings.

Hard.

''Oh, misery!" cried the editor. "What's the matter now?" "I just threw a poet out of the window, and his wife, who v/as waiting for him be low, has presented one of our insurance coupons at the cashier's desk. He had it on him! Another hundred pounds gone, when five shillings would have bought not only his poem, but his everlasting grati tude.—Tit-Bits.
