I was young my prospects wore pood, my business nourishing, and I was engaged to the pill of my heart pretty Hetty Davenport. Her name, by tlm way, was Lliza Ann, in complaint to a wealthy godmother. A dreadful combination, which Us owner indipmuitly repudiated. Mr Davenport was nn engineer, nnd iiad lately returned from South America. Hetty imd tile reputation of hemp a bit of a flirt, and there was a certain merchant nt Buenos Ayres, James Andrews by name, whom her briplit eyes and clear complexion lmd entirely vanquished. My sweetheart always looked serious when the merchants name was mentioned. Poor fellow! On his sido, at least, it was no idle flirtation. Since the lair Eng lisli pirl rehised him ho laid neglected bis business, and was on the high road to ruin. Curiously enough, I had been mixed up with his nadirs in a strange wav.

And as he bent forward I noticed that his face was working curiously, and his outstretched hand trembled I rushed forward nnd tried to wrest the pistol from him. A brief struggle ensued in which he, endowed with nmnine strength, threw me to the floor of the carriage. Before I could rise lie placed tlie pistol in ttie middle of his forehead, fired, and fell dead. For one moment horror at the lover tragic end of Bettyssome-tim- e banished all other thoughts. Tlie next I noticed that we were slackening speed. I pulled down the wiudow and thrust out mv head. We wore nearing the end of the journey. Like Hashes of lightning, one thought after another rushed across my brain, lie was dead James Andrews; tlio man who had every reason to hear He was dead. Shot me enmity. through tlie brain with my pistol. What more likely supposition could there lie than that in tlie heat of anger, ot recrimination on his part, I fired at and had lost killed him! Then ensued the most foolish action of in y life. I leaped from t lie now almost motionless train on to tlie platform and ran up stairs into tlie street. I hailed a passing hansom, nnd told the man to drive to my chambers in Furnivals Inn. As lie rutiled through tlio quiet streets I congratulated myself on my escape from nn unpleasant predicament. It was unlikely that tlie porter would remember my face, and if he did there wns not a very great chance of discovery. Tho pistol Hood God! I lifted my hand to my pocket it was empty. In the hurry of my impulsive llight I had left behind tlie evidence that would convict me Iliad forgotten the pistol. It wnsimpossihletogohome. They lmd my name; my address was in ttie Directory. I should be nrrested before daybreak. I called to the driver to go to Isdeester Square, stayed till closing time; then wandered about London. Then I went into a cafe, trying to decide on my plan of action. To fly the country wns the first course that suggested itself. Then I remembered the vigilance with which the ports are watched when a supposed criminal is nt large. So 1 wandered on for hours, wavering miserably. I wouhl put a brave front on the matter, and confess my would tako share in the tragedy; train to Newhaven and cross to France; I would hide in some obscure part of London, und await the turn affairs took.

Here I lived, lay quiet, so to speak, for three horrible days. I had never earned the reputation of cowardice, yet tlie immediate of that unhappy flight wns my transformation intoan object craven. I started violently nt the landlady's tap at my door and a strange step on the stair. With the example of another ease before me. a ease which a short time before had greatly roused the public mind. I was afraid to keep entirely to th house least my landlady should suspect my identity and hand me over to tlie police. On tin other hand, I ran a great risk in going out, for on every blank wall my own likeness confronted me, A thousand times I cursed my folly in acting as 1 did.

Fortunately I was not ia Porter street Kentish Town. And on th third night uu evening paper mentioned that theyounglady to whom Mr. Biigh had been engaged was rendered prostrate by the blow which had fallen on her, und that her friends proposed taking her abroad. The paper dropped from my hands. All, my bright I! tty! What wouhl Inot give lor a sight ot herdear face! And why should I not see her? I wrote an ndvertis:?.t and sent it for insertion in tlio ligency column of the Times. In tlie old happv days mv pet name for Betty was my maiden aunt. This sobriquet she earned from a certain sage way she had of giving me counsel and prettily advising in an elderly relative way, on business matters, etc., which she did not understand in tlie least. So my message ran thus: If Maiden Aunt will rail at ., Dorter street, Kentish her Town, on Thursday, she will nephew, who is in London for the day. At o o'clock on Thursday tlie door was thrown open of my sitting-roonnd Betty, thickly veiled, ran in. Door little girl! When I had bid her farewell at her father's house, a fortnight before she had been rosy aud radiant, daintily dressed. Now her clothes were carelessly huddled on, her cheeks were thin nnd pale, her great blue eyes were dimmed and mournful. Our conversation would not be of general interest, lovers dialogues rarely are, but before my sweetheart left me I had decided, come what might to make a clean breast ol tlie matter. Betty who wns of the nervous, not the heroic type of woman, vuinly tried to dissuade me. They will hang you, she sobbed, and kissed me wildly, or sentence you to penal servitude for life. I know they will. Nonsense, I said, nnd tried to sooth her. They cant hang; they cannot even convict on such evidence. I was a fool, a madman, ever to shirk facing an inquiry.

Pure and wholly genuine chocolate is a rare tiling in the market and. in fact may be said not to bo fipnd there at all. It is made from the kernel or bean of the Theobroma Cacao, a brown seed which is known in commerce as the "cocoa bean." These beans contain, as their principal constituent, an oil called cocoa butter, whicli is so valuable as a medicine that it is expressed from the beans and sold by itself and a cheaper and poorer oil is substituted for it in making tho chocoCocoa nibs" are the cocoa beans late. crushed without being ground, and these are more likely than any other form to furnish a genuine chocolate to the purchaser, as the ground choeolato is adulterated with various ground nuts and other cheaper material. In making good chocolate, tlie fruit containing the beans is first buried in the ground till the pulp is decayed. The beans are then roasted, tlia shells removed. and the kernels are ground between stones, the heat caused by the friction melting the mass, so that it is poured into molds. Where tho oil is wanted it is expressed from the melted chocolate, and the residuum, carefully is either sold as dried and "cocoa" or treated with a cheap oil as chocolate. An excellent and pn-schocolate is made by hand by the natives of the West Indies, who pound it in mortars without melting, nnd put it up in round bars. It is probably impossible to reform tho popular habit of speaking of the products of the cacao plant as caco 1, especially as tho mistaken term is also used in trade, but it should bo borne in mind that it bears no relation to the cocoa nut tree. ed "Grant Hilda Like UemOD.
