Laura Elmer drove to Chelsea, to inspect the lodgings on • the second floor of Mrs. Russel's little cottage. She • found the landlady and the lodg: Inge all that Mr. Cassinove ,had repre- sented them to be. The cottage was situated in a quiet, clean street, and had the advantage of a fine, shady gard.ea in the rear. The first floor was occupied With a neat little shop in front, and with the land- kuly's own apartments in the back. The second floor comprised a clean, airy parlor, with white window curtains in front, and an equally clean and airy little chamber, with white draperies, in the back. Mrs. Russel was •the same pleasing little lady. that has already been de- scribed. Miss Elmer was more than satisfied with the accommodations offered, and therefore she immediately engaged the apartments, promising to come and take possession in a few days. • When Miss Elmer then mentioned that Mr. Cassinove had recommended the house and the hostess, Mrs. Russel became enthusiaatic in her expressions of gratitude for his kindness, admira- tion of his character, and aspirations for his welfare. Miss Elmer Was de lighted with her warm encomiums, and in this pleasing frame of mind she took leave. She returned to Lester House in time for a late tea, and without having a second opportunity of conversing with Cassinove, she retired to hex chamber. Laura went to bed and tried to read herself to sleep, vainly, for she could neither fix her attention to the volume in her hand, nor compose herself to rest • - • . The day had been too full a ex eitements. Ferdinand Cassinove, whore in her secret heart she had long ador ed, had •declared his love, and she had made him happy by accepting the true heart that he had laid at her feet.

SalloW skin, dull eyes, a blotchy complexion—these no woman need have who pays proper attention to her health. Where constipation, liver derange-. Merit, blood impurities, and other irregularities exist, good complexion, bright eyes, and sprightly movements cannot exist. internal derangements reveal themselves sooner or later on the surface. Headache, dark rings around the eyes, sallow skin, labored heavy movements, a constant tired feeling—all these mean that the liver and digestive organs are needing help and correction. Bileans give this necessary help. They are purely vegetable and they work in Nature's own way. They do not merely flush the bowels and clear out the liver cells. They tone up liver and stomach to fulfil their proper functions. Not only so, but while more effective than the medicines hitherto obtainable, they are, at the same time, more Mild in their operation, and are suitable for the most delicate constitution.
