Those who wondet what the British
fleet is aiming at doing should read
the following by Admiral Sir A. 'Wil-
son:- "The main object aletied at by
our fleet, whether for the,defence of
commerce or for any other purpose, is
to prevent any ship' of- the enemy
from getting to sea far enough to do
any mischief before she is brought to

AND PRIDE
"Mabel, open the door, dearest," she
sled, knocklus gently Ou the outside
whereupon, after a minute's interval,
Mabel did open-, the door, and stood
on the threshold slightly defiant la
appearance,
"Oh, it is you, Mildreal" he Bald,
with an assumption of surpriee.
"Well?"
"May I come in, darling?" inquired
Mew Treyanion, reproachtully.
"Of courae yon an come in," the
"queen" answered, ungraciously, mov-
ing a Hale to one side.
Mildred went a few steps into the
room and closed tho cloor,
"Mabel, will you not show it to me?"
the said.
"So that I it!" crlea Mabel, "1
thought. se. Aunt Harriet's revenge-
tul expreasion when the post came in
was not illirfityn away upon me. She
has been dictating to mamma, and
saying of me all sorts of things as
unjust as they are untrue; and
mamma,' in • turn, has been dictating
to you. Now there is no use in you
trying to gloss over matters, Mildred;
I can understand it all as distinctly
as though I had been present. I have
never before been asked to deliver up
my letters for public inspection, and
I don't intend to do so now. It is easy
in such cases to draw conclusions, and
if Aunt Harriet imagines she can con-
trol my actions, she makes a very
great mistake—and so you may tell
Iter. He did not write for her eyes -

She had worked herself Into a high
statb of indignation by this time.
"Of course lie did," said Mildred;
"do you think I cannot understand
that? lilenima said 'clistinotly yott

letter even to her, until you wished
t� do so of your own accord." Then,
sYmeatheticaly: "Is it a love letter,
Mabel?"
"Well, yes, I suppose so," acknowl-
edged "the queen," demurely, her
al'ole pretty, angry face breaking into
Smiles Of inexpressible happiness, as
she thought of all the love the letter
contained.
Then there came the unconquerable
longing to share her secret with some-
body—to let some other eyes beside
her own see how dearly she was be-
loved—to hear some other voice de-
clare how 'sweet and true and perfect
a letter it was.
"If—if you will promise faithfully,
Mildred, not to tell any one, I will let
you see it."
"I promise faithfully,"' said Mildred.
And then Mabel went over to her
drawer, and having opened it, slowly
and tenderly drew froni it the harm-
less letter that had caused all the dis-
turbance downstairs.
"Now read,' she said; and Mildred,
taking it, she drew back behind her
sister, lest by any chance the tlusa
that brightened her cheeks during the
reading might be seen.
"Bey darling queen," it began, and,
after the usual run of information re-
lative to the passage, reception, cli-
mate, and such -like uninteresting
matters, went on to say how much
the writer missed her—how well he
loved her—how entirely every thought
of his was centred upon her alone.
and how he had that day written to
her father explaining how affairs stood
between them, and asking permission
to make her his wife as soon as things
should have arranged themselves.
it was very like all other love totters
and wound up with an earnest, loving
entreaty that she would not -forget hint
—that whatever happened she would
be true to etim.
"I would rather be dead than hear
that you had been untrue to me," were
his words. "Remember this! Not that
I feel anything but the utmost faith in
you. Ever, my own darling, your
af-
Lectionate Roy Blount."
So it ended. Miss Trevanion, as she
folded it, felt a sensation of sudden
tightening at her throat. How good a
thing it seemed to her just then. w be
beloved—to have tender words on a
paper folded up and sent to one with
the certain knowledge in one's breast
that somebody was waiting with Impa-
tient heart for other tender words in
return.
Meanwhile "the queen" was standing
gazing into her face with eager, long-
ing eyes.
"Is it not the very sweetest' letter?"
she saichltinocently.
"The very sweetest letter 1 ever
read," returned her sister, kissing the
upturned lips.
, Then he went back to the cherished
Production, and read it again with a
fresh warm interest that went straight
to Mabel's heart,
"Well, perhaps you had better take
It dewit and show it to mamma," she
said, relenting, "but do not let Aunt
Harriet see you—say you will not,
Mildred."
So, Mildred having given the desired
assurance, carried the letter away with
her to Lady Caroline, who read it with
eyes tenderly suffused. Sir George,*
combag in at the moment with the
companion epistle in, his hand, Con -
mining a manly straightforward pro-
posal for Mabel, read it also, and sig•
flirted his intense satisfaction in and
epprobation of the entire affair, But
the engagement must of necessity be
a long one, so he decided, the young
man—though with great expectation
on all sides—having just -at the pre-
sent tittle...Wood his pay. They were
both only just atthe commencement
of theft lives, so cbuld afford to wait
until a year Or two had gone over
their heads; and when once -Roy could
sign himself "captain" they might be-
gin to look ,at things hi a nearer light.
So ft was arranged, to the delight of
all concerned, exeept Lady elagleton,
who objected to every argument that
could be predueed in their favor, pro-
testing oheeinately to the yelty last
that the. "girl was throwing. herself
away.
Having this standing grievance, they
Loped she would rest satisfied, and re-
quire no further imaginary Ills to
keep up the usual grumbling speelea of
excitenient that went. fax to constitute
her daily life. But they hoped in vain.
It so happened that by mutual con-
seht they had all maintained striet
taciturnity on the subject of the
Younges,--their antecedents as mer.
chant. pur St simple not Wing con.
aidered such as 'would meet the 'Views
of Lady Eagleten, She had wonder-
fully relieved their minds by letting
themm know of her inteution to spend
Christmas with some more fortuoate
relatives further south, and indeed
heut named a day in the ensuing Week
as that on which he would deprive
thenof her society.
The whole house instantly brigntened
up, and began to look more like !welt,
while it was tnought with confidence
that the Younges' visit miglit now in-
deed be kept forever in the dark, eo
far as their grandaunt was concerned.
But Eddie, unluckily, as it appeared
afterward, had been the only one not
warned on the matter, and therefore it
was he who, on the Sunday before her
departure, brought down her ltlaY.
ship's wrath upon the family.
Lord Lyndon was a great favorite
with her, he haying a certain placid
deferential way with him that never
failed to propitiate even the most ob-
durate of old ladies. She enaracterized
him as well-bred, courteous, and gen-
tlemanly, looking Upon him as a
Young man who had happily escaped
all the contannufetions of the period.
She never tired of speaking of Ids
many perfections, holding hint up in
triumphant comparison with others of
her acquaintance, instancing with spe-
cial unctuousness on thee occasions
the detested Roy.
"I consider it a most fortunate
thing, in this out-of-the-way place,
your having es a constant visitor a
young man so distinguished," sae said,
and then she asked again for about
the hundredth time, "And where did
you first become acquainted with
hint?"
"well, just about the time the
Younges were here, as well as 1 can
recollect," answered Eddie, promptly,
who was unhappily preeent, and then
went on with his fish—they were at
dinner—blissfully unconscious of all
the mischief he had done.
'The Younges? Who are they Mat
I have never heard their names men-
tioned?'
Lady Eagleton, though considerably
aged, had lost none of the perspicuity
that bad characterized her earlier
days; so she looked sharply first to
the right, then to theeleft,and, overtak-
ing an agonized glance of Lady Caro-'
Ithe's chi its way to Mildred, left ber-
aelf completely mistress of the situa-
tion. She turned her keen, searching
old eyes once more on the unsuspect-
ing Eddie, and began:
"And who were these Younges?" she
asked, in her most insinuating tone. ,
"Old 'lounge went in for cotton some
years ago," answered Eddie, frankly,
and without a moment's healtation—"a
mode of making money that I Lear
your ladyship will scarcely appreciate;
but it paid uncommonly well in his
ease, if we are to believe all the
accounts we hear. Strange to say, too,
the trade mark is not so apparent .on
them as it might have been. The son,
Denzil Younge, ie one of the nicest
fellows you could -possibly meet,
while the daughter—you should just
ask the girls about her, Aunt • Har-
riet; they will tell you about her—
what a 'perfect treasure' she is."
Her ladyship was above understand-
ing "chaff."
"Oh, indeed," she said, in such
constrained, stiff tone that Eddie
looked up amazed, and, catching eight
of his mother's despairing and Mabel's
dismayed expression, discovere4 for
the first time that lie had been the
cause. of much disturbaope in the
bosom of his family for the past five
minutes.
Lady Eagleton maintained a studied,
not to say ominous silence during the
remainder of the -meal, giving no vent
to her outraged feelings until the
ladies rose to return to the drawing -
room, leaving the happier sex to• dis-
cuss their wine in peace.
When the former were seated round
the fire—for it was more than ordin-
arily cold even for Novehaber—and
the old lady had comfortably en-
sconced herself In the snug arm -chair
specially brought down from the upper
regions to meet her wants, she began:
"Caroline, is this thing true that I
have been ' hearing?" she said, sot-
•
"What thing, Aunt Harriet?" asked
her niece, faintly.
"Don't prevaricate," said Lady
Eagleton. "It warn you it is beat to
bo open and above -board 'with me.
Speak the truth—is it possible you
have had a cotton merchant's family
on terms of intimacy at King'sesebbott,
enjoying free association with your
daughters, your sons?"
Poor Lady Caroline felt herself a
cbild once more, in hopeless bootleg°
to her aunt, and, crowing her soft
white hands helplessly upon her
looked with imploring eyes at Mildred,
and Mildred looked straight into the
fire.
"They were friends . of George's,
Aunt Harriet," she ventured to mur-
mur, at length.
"Then they were here?" ejaculated
the old woman, in an awful voice.
"Yes, they were here," confessed
Lady Caroline. in a nereous, subdued
nbiepet.
"I did not dreatn I should ever have
lived to her such an acknowledgment
from your lips," said Lady Eagleton;
after which, 'for several minutes, there
was corapiete silence—slIence that Was
to Mabel the most intense agony; as
it was, by a superheMati effort she
'kept herself freni bursting into a ring-
ing laugh.
Tho whole scene was Irresistibly

Even Mabel grew suddenly grave as
this direct question was put to Mil-
dred, while Lady Caieline glanced
imploringly at her daughter, though
without the slightest hope that the
answer would be favorable to Denzil.
Mildred's long dark eyelashes quiv-
ered slightly, and her color rose a
degree as for a moment she hesitated,
but, when at length she did iipeak, it
was with perfect composure.

manner he was an unmistakable gen-

Slio as astounded. She had so en-

Dort; an now she found nerself astou-
!shed and disgusted, with no language
ready in which to express her just in-
dignation; while, as for Mabel and
her mother, no words could explain
their surprise and content. For Mil-
dred to be even neutral in such a
mese they had considered beyoud all
hope; and now here she was of her
own free accord nobly doing him jus-
tice, and succeeding, for once in her
life, In completely eilencing her
grandaunt.
There was a visible air of triumpb
about her relatives that maddened the
ancient dame.
"You have made me aequainted with
a new phase in your character," she
Said to Mildred in what she meant to
be a withering tone—"one with which
I have been hitherto totally unae-
quainted. .A.r.d, as 1 find I have not
an idea in common with anybody in
this house—now that you have de-
clared: yourself—I thilak the sooner I
leave it the better. I shall therefore
hasten my departure even more than
I have done, and beg you all to under-
stand that I depart on Wednesday."
This terrible" announcement she ut-
tered as though it could not fail to
strike despair and remorse hit° the
hearts of her hearers; and, indeed, in
Lady Caroline's breast it awoke min-
gled feelings of joy and terror, though
in those of Mildred and Mabel the
joy reigned supreme.
Lady Caroline attempted a faint re-
monstrance, but was sternly silenced;
and on Wednesday, two days earlier
than that on which she had originally
decided, the .old lady, bag and bag-
gage, swept diet of King's Abbott, very
much to the relief 'of those she left
behind.
CHAPTER XVI. •
And now came the most trying time
in all poor Mildred's life. During all
the past weeks that she had been eat-
fering violence at the hands of her
relatives, Lord Lyndon had become a
constant, untiring visitor at King's
Abbott, taking no rebuffs, nor open
slights, nor petulant actions to heart,
but, as might a faithful animal,. at-
tending all the more assiduously to
her wants who was his acknowledged
mistress.
Patience,. assisted by perseverance
ever been known to work wonders, so
it followed that in process of time he
became—though. so imperceptibly that
it was without lier knowledge—neces-
sary to Mildred; so much so indeed
that fewer and fewer grew the slights
and unkindnesses on her part, while in
their place a certain winning friendli-
ness came and increased, raising false
hopes in-Lyndon's breast that should
never have been there.
The end of all this was that close
upon Christmas -time, somewhere about
the . middle of December, while all
theer minds were fully otoupied with
Lady Eagleton's sayings and doings,
Lord Lyndon proposed for Miss Tre-
vanion, and was rejected. This blow
might perhaps have effectually daunted
another man; but Lyndon, still follow-
ing up his trusty instincts, determined
to bide his time and never surrender .
hope until another and more favored
suitor took his place.

,rs, Patrick Williams Tells How Her
Headache and Weakness Vanished
When She Used the Great Canadian

-e(Specia.1.)--"1 feel it my duty .to tell
tho public the great relief from head-
ache and weakness I found in Dodd's
Kidney Pills."
This is the message Mrs. Patrick.
Williams, of this place, sends to suf-
fering women all over Canada. Like
many other women, she dislikes talk-
ing about her troubles, but she feels.
she would not be doing right to let
others suffer when she had learned
frcin her own experience iniw great is
the relief and how easy in the cure to
be found in Bodd's Kidney Pills.
Nine -tenths of the weakness; and suf-
fering women bear so bravely comes
from sick lcidneys. Sick or disordered
kidneys fail in their duty of straining
the impurities out of the blown This
means that these impurities; these
seeds of disease, are carried to all
parts of the body. The natural cure
Is Dodd's Kidney Pills. They always
cure sick kidneys.

An art patroness was gushing over a
portrait in the presence of the artist.
"I do not know how it 13," she
said "but when you paint a portrait
you seem to put more into it than
anyone else can see."
"Madam," he exclaimed in rhap-
sody, "it is not faces alone that I
paint; it is souls!"
"Oh," she replied, cuttingly, .for his
enthusiasm was too warm, "you, de in-
teriors, do you?"—Exchange.

Putting the Blame On Noah. \
A tablet believed to be 4,000 or 5,000
Years old and to antedate the book of
Genesis by 1,000 years sets forth, ac -E
cording to the translation of Dr.
Steven Langdon, of Oxford university,*
England, that it was Noah and not
Adam and Eye who brought about the
fall of man. Noah was commanded
not to eat of the cassia tree in the gar-
den of paradise, the translation has it,
and when he disobeyed the curse of ill
health and an early death instead of
a life span of 60,000 years like that of
his anceetors, fell on him. According
to Babylonian and Sumerian accounts,
the flood occurred about 35,000 years
before Christ, and the period between,
that catastrophe and creation -432,000
years—was filled in by ten kings, so
that each Must have ruled something
like 43,6(10 years. The comparatively
short reigns of later kings is explain-
ed as being the result of Noah's sin
In eating of the celesta tree.

The report of the U. S. commission-

sure persons who are fearful of the
spread of disease through books by
recording the results of recent inves-
tigation at Yale university. During the
cleaning of the library a chemical an-
alysis of the dust was made. About
half of this was found to be mineral
matter, while the other half was or-
ganic, including paper fiber,.wood Pi-
per and molds. No mouth bacteria
were found, and in general the analy-
sis showed the harmlessness of. the

A Paradox.
.A. maiden well advanced in years
used t� wait every morning for the
Pestman, a bachelor of about her age,
and ask him if there was not a letter
for her. Several weeks passed thus,
but the anxiously expeected letter did
not arrive. Finally one morning the
Ipostman said to her, "Well, to -mor-
row you shall get your letter, if I have
to write it myself."
"That's right; do it," replied the old
Inlaid. "I shall be delighted to ac-
cept it." .
. "Well," said the postman, smiling,
1"what do you want me to write —a
ibusiness letter or a love letter?"
, "If you mean business please write

at the club he asked Robert Martin,
of "Xillaloe" fame, to sing "Bally-

"Divil a note will I sing for the

sold Martin.
The Lord Chief Justice took up the
challenge, and led the way with

Catching Redhot Rivets.
This would not seem to be a pleas-
ing occupation even if the rivet is
caught in an old mail bag, yet the feat
is constantly performed by workmen.
Ordinarily they catch rivets in a rivet
keg or something of that sort, but
there are men who catch rivets with
a pair of tongs -dust reach out for
them and nip a redhot rivet out of the
air with the nipper part of the tong
in much the same way that a bird nipte

Magic "Nerviline"
Ends Stiff Neck, LuMago
Any Curable Muscular or Joint Pain
is instantly Relieved by Nerviline,
GET TRIAL BOTTLE TO -DAY.
You don't have to wait all day to
get tho kink out of a stiff neck if you
rub on Nerviline. And you don't need
to go around complaiuing about lum-
bago any more. You can rub such
things away very quickly with Nervi -
line. It's the grandest liniment, the
geickest to penetrate, the speediest to
ease muscular pain of any kind,
One twenty-five cent trial bottle of
Nerviline will cure any attack of lum-
bago or lame back. This has been
proved a thousand times, just as it
was in the case of Mrs. E. J. Grayden,
of Caledonia, who writes: "1 wouldn't
think of going to bed without know-
ing we had Nerviline in the house. I
have used it for twenty -odd years and
appreciate its value as a family
remedy more and more every day.
lf any of the children get a stiff neck,
Nerviline curei quickly. If it is ear-
ache, toothache, cold on the chest,
sore throat, Nerviline is always my
standby. My husband once cured bim-
self of a frightful attack of lumbago
by Nerviline, and for a hundred ail-
ments that turn up in a large family
Nerviline is by•far the best thing to
have about you."

General Dissatisfaction.
Tiny Elsbeth was taken by mother
to an afternoon tea, fashionable, but
where the various ladies present were
well acquainted and indulged too free-
ly in gossip. The little girlie sat very
straight and still, listening to all that
was said. Critical remarks were made
about absent friends, and even guests
who took their departure were discuss-
ed with some freedom,
' Elsbeth edged closer to her mother
and remarked in a solemn whisper:
"Nobody seems jes' exactly satis-
fied with anybody, does they, mamma?"

one else rode him yesterday, and an-
