She broke down and covered her
face with her hands. And Lyndon,
wile had never yet learned the art of
being consistently unkind to anything,
felt his wretit aud wrongs melt aWaY
together, while a choking sensation
arose in his throat. To see Mildred
cry was to him the nearest peal and
misery the world could afford. What
was he that he should be the cause of
tears to her?
He forgot all his own deep iniaries,
and taking the pretty golden head be-
tween his hands, he drew it down m on
his breast, where she began to crY
right heartily.
"Mildred, how could you do it?" he
waispered, presently, in a broken
voice, "Had you hated me, you could
have done nothing more cruel. Child,
did you never think of the conse-
quences?"
"I know I have behaved basely to

"I shall never cease to be thankful

Poor Lady Caroline was greatly per-

Had things been different. she would
have followed the dictates of her own

the spot; but, as it was, She remem-
bered ford& scenes and Lyndon's
recent sad departure, and did not care
to take the responsibility on herself
of bringing aer daughter and Denzil
together in such a manner.
"Mildred, Mildred!" called the sick
man, impatiently, and then the little
ray of reasonthat had come to him
in connection with her face vanished,
and he wandered off once more into
the terrible feverland, bearing with
him the name of her he loved.
For two hours he lay thus, calling,
sometimes wildly, sometime feebly,
but always for her, until his toying

Not once again during all the re-

and then struck her fancy as she
glanced through the volume in her
hand, that he approached the subject.
. "Is your sister away from home?"
he asked, in the middle of a most pa-
thetic subject. -
And Mabel answered "No," redden-
ing a little.
"Then I think she might have come
to see me before this," Ile said, with
all the fretfulness of an invalid,
"Well, you see, she has all the
housekeeping to attend to, now tnanuna
is so much your slave," returned Ma-
bel, smiling; "that keeps her away.
She always asks for you, though, and
is so glad to hear of your getting on
so rapidly."
This sounded rather lame, and Ma-
bel, feeling it to be so, tried tame more
to resort to her book.
"I suppose it would give her, too
much trouble to make her inquiries in
person," he said, bitterly, "every one
else conies to see me except herself.
Surely Lyndon could not entect to
that?"
"Have you not heard, then?" asked
-Mabel, hesitatingly. "I fancied you
would have known before this. Her
engagement with Lard Lyndon is at
an end. He has been abroad for the
last four weeks."

"Meldred's engagement is at an end

haggard face flushed crimson; ho put
up his uninjured hand and brusted
back his hair impetuously, fixing his
eyes on .Mabel the while. "What
caused it?" he asked, with supprcesed
agitation. "It must have been very

Paused.
"Just after your aecident occurred,"
said Mabel, slowly; and then the grew
frightened, fearing that Mildred would
condemn the remark if she heard of
It, and determined to make no more
admissions, whatever happened. "You
are talking too much," site went on,
hurriedly; "you are looking very pate.

A WOMAN'S HEALTH
NEEDS CONSTANT CARE
When the Blood Becomes Poor
Disease Speedily Folows
Every woman's health is peculiarly
dependent upon the condition of her
blood. How many women suffer with
headache, pain in the back, poor appe-
tite, weak digestion, 0, constant feeling
of weariness, palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath, pallor and ner-
vousness. Of course all these sYnelie
toms may not be present -the more
there are the worse the condition of
the blood, and the more necessary that
you should begin to enrich it without
'delay. Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills are be-
yond doubt the greatest blood -building
:tonic. offered to the public to -day.
'Every dose helps to make new, rich,
:red blood which goes to every part of
'the body and brings new health and
strength to weak, despondent people.
.ffer. Williams' Pink Pills are valuable
•to all women, but they are particularly
'useful to girls of school age who be -
•come pale, languid and nervous. Thin
'blood during the growing, years of a
girl's life usually means a flat -chested,
hollow-cheeked womanhood. There
can be neither health nor beauty with-
out red blood, which givesbrightness
to the eyes and color to the cheeks and
lips. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do all
this, as is proved in thousands of
eases. Mrs. William Rowe, Carlsev
;avenue, Toronto, says: "I have receiv-
ed so much benefit teem Dr. 'Williams'
Pink Pills that I feel it my duty to
recommend them to others. I • was
about completely prostrated with anae-
mia. I had no appetite, was terribly
weak and subject to fainting spells. I
suffered greatly from dizziness, and
the various other symptoms that ac-
company a bloodless condition. Rem-
edy after remedy was tried, but to ne
avail, until a friend advised me to try
Dr. Wisaillue theram theramw z z
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. , -Before
completing the second box, I was
again enjoying splendid health, and
have since remained in that happy
condition."
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any medicine dealer or by
mail at 50 cents a belt' or six boxes for
32.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ont.
And so beyond the stilly deeps of wis-

Sometimes unto my ears it seems al

No industry of the present day of-
fers so many opportunities for keep-
ing alive an interest lee the work of
enotent araftsinen as does that of the
Patter, and 110 craft has been so pro-
lific' in emnpetent workers able and
willing to accept those opportunities
than has thls same business of pottery
making in its many and varied phaseo
and ramifications.
When the Josiah Wedgwood Mute
eum was opened at Etruria (Stafford-
shire, England) about ten years ago,
a feature that seemed to impress vis-
itors very strongly was the wide var-
iety of object the master potter had
experimented with, from his earliest
to his latest days, objects that, few
other potters had previously given
serious consideration to, and objects
not usually associated with the pot-
tery industry, yet one and all saggest-
ive of helping to increase its scope
and volume and calculated to open
out paths of 'commerce on hitherto
untrodden ground, The care with
which his experiments were recorded
helps us fo the conclusion that Jo-
siah Wedgwood hardly knew what ul-
timate failure meant, for among the
proof of his skill it Is possible to
trace the greatest final auccesses from
ithe most persisteat initial failures, and
wherever we find an experiment tried
there is evidence somewhere among
records of the Museum of success in
the end. His active mind was ever'
at work to find some new use for one
or other of his inveutions, utility ap-
parently being his first thonght, and
many of his earliest successes were in
articles in which his pottery ,only
formed a part and in some cases a
minor part, alit yet calculated to add
to the number of ways in which trade
might be cultivated and his produc-
tions more widely distributed.
Competition with several old-time
industries was entered upon and per-
haps the art Metal workers were the
first to feel it beneficial effects.
Knife -handle making in pottery was
one of Wedgwood's first ventures;
snuff boxes were also an important
Item in those days and this Cass of
production was developed in pottery
effects imitative of agates, tortoise-
shell and porphyry.
Wedgwood's association with the
art metal workers of London, Bir-
mingham, Sheffield, Wolverhampton,
Uttoxeter, etc., opened fields of oper-
ation it is possible he may not have
reached simply with his regular pot-
tery -products. Very early in his car-
eer we find him working in associa-
tion with Matthew Boulton and others
who labored to advance the art metal,
industries.

There are many curious points
about crabs and lobsters. Every one
of either genus is provided with a
big claw for crushing and a small
claw adapted by its shape for cutting
as scissors do. With thee two claws
they tear the food they capture into
fragments and feed themselves literal-
ly from "hand to mouth." But there
is every reason to suppose that the
claws ' are intended quite as muchefor

Origin of the Gypsies.
When the gypsies firet appeared in
England in the fifteenth century the
name gypsy was given to them by the
English people, who believed them to
have come from Ilgypt. The French,
by a similar mistake, called them Bo-
hemians. nut a careful study of this
race, and especially of their language,
shows that they came originally front
Indla. The gypsy teenage is derived
from the Sabaltrit, as aro the other
Aryan languages of India. A similar
error was Made by the English when
they called a distinetivelY American
bird a turkey, under the lenpression
that it Was an importation froth the
°Uteri= empire, end by the Prerteli
when they called the same bird coe
d'Inde, believing that it came front
India. --Christian Herald.
