She made no answer, but, putting her head against the side of the tree, raisecj herself to a standing position, As the !untied foot, however, was breught more firmly to the ground a spasm of pain contracted her face. "What is the matter? Have you hurt yourself?" he asked, 1 na somewhat softer tone. "I have strained my foot in some awkward way -it is nothing," she an- swered. "Perhaps you had better` take my arm," said he, still coldly; and she re- turned; "No, thank you; I think I can man- age to get on," and she did manage for a few yards or so, when she fal- tered, uttering a faint moan. "What is the use of your persisting in this folly?" exclaimed Denzil, an- grinly. "Do you wish to be laid up for a. month? Take my arm direla.ly or" -ungraciously --"shall I carry you?

"No," she answered indignantly- "eertainly not, I can walk quite well." But she took his arm for all that, and for a while 'hobbled along, -mfserahly; beside hini, her face. white with pain.

"My dear Margaret," Field Lyndon, "do not ask me to do that, You knoW I have Mildred under my care." "My dear Henry," returned Mies Deverill, desperately, "YOU must drive Me, or you will have ray death to au - wee for. I will not trust myself again to. that hare -brained boy, who sulked the entire way here, and knows noth- ing whatever of driving. Indeed, my nerves are at present in such a state that I can go home with nobtely but you; besides, anybody can see that that horse is }positively dangerous." Lyndon glanced toward the animal question, and saw that it was un- questionably skittich, displaying an evident desire to bolt, and seeming to take particular delight in taxing the patience ef the small groom who stood on tiptoe to hold him, after which he looked once more at his cousin's dolor- ous countenance and relented. "Well, somebody must take care of Mildred," he said with heeltation, "and -where Is Mildred?" • "She went toward the wood about half an hour ago -somebody ouglit to find her and say that we are on the move," responded Harvey from be- u.eath a horse, where he was busily ar- ranging a twisted strap. "Eddie," to and find her," said his lordship, distractedly. "Can't, eny dear fellow; don't you see how engaged I am?" answered Ed- die, casting an expressive glance at Silvia Lisle, who blushed and 'sim- pered, and lowered her white -lids in acknowledgment in the Most bewilder - 'lug manner. "Denzil, • you are doing nothing. -go and succor the lost dam- sel, and restore her to the bosom of her bereaved family." "Yes, do go and explain things to her, Younge," implored the unsus- pecting Lyndon, "and just say how It was I was put in for my cousin. It is an awful bore" confided his lordship, in a heart -broken whisper, "but what can a man do when a. girl comes cry- ing to him about some miserable boy's stupidity? You bring Mildred home safely -there's a good fellow; remember, I leave her to you;" and, without waiting for a reply, Lyndon bustled off, greatly to his cousin's re- lief, who dreaded lest some inoppor- tune chance should again consign her to young Sunnerly's care." Both Lady Carollne and Mabel, -Who alone there knew his secret, had gone long since sb Denzil was left with no one to assist him in this hour of per- plexity -with no one to aid him in es- caping the tete-a-tete drive that appar- ently lay before him. Ever since his arrival at King's Abbot he and Mil- dred had scarcely spoken to each other -had shown, indeed., a mutual though an unspoken determination to avoid each other in every Possible way. And now to have her thrown on his hands in this unavoidable manner was most distasteful to him. Then came the thought that she - knowing nothing of the circumstances -would perhaps Imagine that he had connived at this arrangement, and had made the most of the opportunitY offered to gain undisputed. possesaion of her society for the tang homeward This idea was particularly galling to his pride, and, as it grew on hen, don, solemnly gazing up at the Warn - You, that are sohs of a freedimi forged he gnawed bis mustache savagely, and with your own strong hand. ing aS though lost in amazement at Born, cf a. deathless heritage, sot in a his own want of observation.

Whether right or 'wrong, Denzil at hetet knew that Mildred had kept his ittact, so he persuaded himself, on that first day of his coming, how im- possible it would be for him to take his departure until a certain time had gleamed; though in his inmost heart he Was aware that inclination, not necessity,. was keeping him.

It penetrates the rock to a depth of ale or eight inches and hollows out its burrows as it increases in size.

In 1901 the Dan- ish explorer Peterson, With three com- panions, dived deep into the heart of this unknown country. • They were captured by a tribe of savages, who killed their carriers and made them prisoners. For long they were be- lieved to be dead. Then, td every one's amazement, a letter in Peterson's writ- ing was brought by a native to ,the coast. It told of his miserable plight, and an expedition was at once sent in- land to bring him home. -London Spectator., • iloa Have Been Tried and Found Good WHY DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS ARE SO POPULAR, They are invaluable as a Tonic and Family Medicine As Well As a Pre- ventive and Cure for the More Ser- ious Kidney Diseases: Chelmsford, Ont., June 19s -(Spe- cial) -"We have found Dodds Kidney Pills extremely good. We are in good health, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills."' These are the words of Miss Delia Charron, a well-known resident here. Others tell the same story. • They have tried Dodd's Kidney Pills and found them good. For Dodd's Kidney Pills as a tonic and Wally medicine are without an equal. When you feel worn, tired and run down the chances are ten to one that your kidneys are at fault. ' When the kidneys become clogged or out of order, the circulation be- comes sluggish, the impurities are not strained out of the bleed and the u- nit is weariness and lack of energy all over the body. This condition is not only disagree- able, but dangerous as well, The im- purities in the blood are the seeds or disease. If they are not removed Rheumatism, Lumbago, Gravel, Drop- sy, Diabetes, or Bright's Disease may result. Guard against these diseases and get back your tlecuStonted energy by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. • ••••••••-•••••.<4.4-40. Chinese Proverbs, Think twice and ,do .nat speak at all.

The widespread belief in the exist- ence of an equinoctial Gtorm and In- dian summer comes, to a certain ex- tent, under the head of popular super- etitions. If the equinoctial etorm is defined as d rainstorm, lasting at Test three nays of the 21st of September, then there is very seldom a year when several equinoctial storms do not oc- cur. Tit reason fon the belief in an equinoctial storm is probably the fact that about that time of the year the first storms of the winter type, 'with steadily falling precipitation, make their appearance. They atand in sharp contrast to the summer type with the sultry weather and thunder showers. Storms of the winter type can occur, - however, during any month of the summer. The amount of precipitation near the 21st has been ohown by av- eraging the observations at many sta- tions to be no greater than before or after this date. -Willis Ishliester Mil - ham in litetedrology.
