"No, thanks," says Signe, as she gives him her cup, and Sir Frederic feels a pang of regret that he hadn't thought 01 bestowing this little atten- tion. Hector Warren takes the cup to the table and comes back, standing before Sigua and the other two as if he aver° quite unconscious that every eye in the room was either openly or covert- ly regarding him. "And where is my friend Archie?" he asks, with a smile. "In bed," says Signe, "whither he haa gone with the most poignant dis- appointment. If you value your peace of mind, it would be well for you to avoid him for a few days. He has dreadful things to say to you re- specting the solemnify of a gentle- man's promise," and she laughs softly. "Poor Archie! And was he really deprived of his almonds and raisins? I am very sorry. If I had thought they depended so entirely upon me, I would—" "Have neglected most important business and been here?" says Signe, with a smile. He is not at all embarrassed, though Lady Rookwell shows all her teeth in en appalling grin. "Yes," he says, "a promise is a pro- mise, and sacred. I shall plead guilty, and throw myself on Arehie's mercy." "It will be the best course," says Signa. Ho stands for a moment, wondering -.whether the long-Iegged gentleman will rise and give him a eland° of taking his chair, but Sir Frederic is too overcome by the distinguished presence and easy manners of the Stranger to raove, and sits with an uneasy sense of inferiority. - "Hein," says Lady Rookwell. "In- troductions are out of fashion, but you may present your friend, my dean"- "Mr. Warren -Lady Rookwell-Lady Rookwell, Mr. Warren," says Signa. Lady Rookwell's sharp eyes 11kthemselves upon him like needles. "Warren, Warren," she says, "aro YOU of the Norfolk Warrens?" "I think -not," he says. "Hem! I used to know some War. rens in Bedfordshire. Perhaps you are of that family?" "I am afraid I cannot claim kinship with any of the preper Warrens," lie says, with a smile that puzzles Lady Itookwell. "Ab, well," she says, "it doesn't matter. And are you staying here?" "For a time," he says, This beautifully vague reply stag- gers her ladyship, and she tarns her shoulder to him. , Signe. detects a faint smile of amuse - meat an his eyes, and she wonders whether Lady ttookwell will return to the attack; but her ladyship knows when she is beaten, and talks to Sir Frederic. Tben somebody mentions the word music, and Mrs.. PodswelI tomes acres.; the room to Signe. "Have MI any music with you, Signal" she says, awkwardly. Signe, shakes her head, "No," she says, "I have not." "Perheps Miss Grenville can play 'without medic?" hazards Sir laredeek, with a blush. Lady Rookwell looks iliquiringly at her. "Of Course she can," she say% and Signe rises WithOut any hesitation and gees to the piano.

Signa catches the name, and looks up with a sudden thrill. A silence falls upon the company. The rector changes color a,nd forces a feeble smile, and Aunt Podswell near- ly drops the tee -cup she is holding. With his calm smile, Hector 'Warren comes across the room toward heielle is in evening dress -his crush hat un- der his arm -his whole appearance so distinguished looking, that even Signe feels surprixed and startled. What is the vague something about him that seems to dwarf all the other men in the room -that makes Sir Frederic look more gawky than before, and his clothes ill -cut and countrified; while Mr. Jenks, besides the tall, graceful figure appears to have grown more vulgar and commonplace. With the easiest deference he makes his apologies, and Signe. hears the low, musical voice murmuring something about business, having de- tained him, his annoyance, and disap- pointment, and so on. Aunt Pods - well, with her nerves all abroad, stammers that it isn't of any conse- quence, and with a bow he leaves her and comes UP to the rector. The rest of the company watch him with the most intense and almost open curios- ity -a curiosity which deepens as he approa,ches Signe, and bends over the hand which she extends him. She looks up and catches the latent look of his dark eyes, and her Own fall for a Moment, Thee, Withelat asking lam who that One is, she breaks leto a Swiss melody, which she bee often heard the Milk -girls Muging on their way up the hill at Swine Ile, too, has heard arid knows It, end aa ho leans against the piano, his Arnie foldeal his whole Mind fixed on her, Le thinks -a wild thought enetials- how sweet it would be if they two could wander through the valley alul up the hill. "Playa like an artist," says Lek' Iloolewell, with cool, curt decision. "I knew till's Maid, Blie's her father's daughter. My dear Amelia, you bare got a treasure! I wonder Whether you know it?" airs. Podswell smiles feebly, and murmurs soniethlute about Signe, beillZ a "good" girl, which makes Lady Rookwell grin till her teeth become like grave -stones, "Good!" she echoes, scornfully. "You might as well say Raphael's inasterpiece is pretty or nice. 1 tell you -hem! she'll hear me," "She has heard every word, unless she is quite deaf,* says the captaia, with a laugh. "Ah'." retorts her ladyship, "a little flattery will be a pleasant change for her; you don't give her to much, Amelia, do you?" and she grins again. "Beautiful, beautiful," mamma Mrs. Plumb°, meekly, as the Swiss air comes to an end, "Oh, don't let her leave the piano, please! Mr. Podswell, please ask her to play again -or to sing?" The rector picks. his way across; the room with a bland smile. "You play very well, my dear, and with -ahem -e admirable expression. Expression in music is—" "Sing us something," comes in Lady Rookwell's voice. Signe smiles at the abruptness of the request, and she glances, half-unin- teationally, at the handsome, thought- ful face above her. "1)0 not sing a note unless you rlease," he says, in the low Yoke in which he had spoken previously. She colors, but shakes her head, "What does It matter?" she says. "They do not mean to be rude. Will you see if there is anything in the cabinet that I remember?" He goes dOWn on his knee, much to the amazement of Sir Frederic, who eoule not have none such a thing for fear of being leashed at, and turns over the portfolio. "'Come Into the Garden'-eno. 'The Male of Athens.' I wonder when this portfolio was opened last?" he says. "I'm afraid there is nothing here—" "Never mind," she says.. "I can remember something. Let me see." She thinks for a moment, then she sings an old-fashioned ballad so sweet- ly that, before she knows it, Mrs. Piumbe feels her eyes fill. As for Lady Rookwell, elle looks a little more ferocious -as usual when her feelings are touched. There was a murmur of admiration when Signe finishes the song, but not a word from the tall figure beside her. She looks up at him. "Don't you like it?" she says, with a smile. He seems to awake from a dream, and with almost a start looks down at her. "It isn't a question of liking," he answers, his eyes fixed on hers. "Your song will haunt me the night through." "I hope not," he says, smiling. "And now you must sing for them," she adds. "And not for yon?" he says. "Oh, forme, too," she assents, with a faint blush. "How do you know I have any voice?" he says. She smiles mysterlonsly, but shakes her head. "What shall I sing?" he asks. "The air from 'Canon,'" she an- swers at once. He thinks for a moment with knit- ted brow, then his face clears. "Why do you choose that?" he says. "Because I know that you can sing It," she retorts. "I have heard you. Will you ddhy it?" "No," Ile says. "I plead guilty. I had no idea I was disturbing anyone. I did not know you were near. you mean that night I was trespassing in the Grange gardens?" "Yes," she says. "Will you slag it • now? Shall I play it for you?" 1 dare not trouble you," he says. And, to the amazement of the com- pany, he sits down to the piano as calm- ly and quietly is if every man could play, and with a masterly touch strikes the opening chords, and in a voice Which Signe remembers in- stantly, sings the famous air. "What a lovely voice!" exclaims Mrs. Plumb°. "Who is this Mr. -Mr. Warren?" asks Sir Frederic, in a whisper, of Lady Rookwell. "Who is he?" repeats the old lady. "1 don't know, but I can make a guess. A man who sits down and sings like that must either be it music master or an opera singer. He isn't a music master, because they don't walk and talk as he does; thereaore he must be the other thing; and what on earth the rector means by admitting a man of that sort to hie table I can't imagine." Sir Frederic shakes his head. "Depend upon it, you're right. It's -it's rather bad form on the rector's part, you know." "Very good form, I should say," retorts her ladyship. "If we all of us got somebody at our homes to amuse people as this man is doing it would be to our credit," "But you said just now—" says the bewildered baronet. "I said I didn't know what the rector meant, and I don't. I suppose he doesn't know. Heal have an apopleptic fit, and Amelia will fella, when they find out."

Descrioing Dr. utover's apparatus, the Scientific American says: "He places a galvanometer in circuit with a mierophone, an induction spool primary and a voltaic battery. A. volt- meter is attached to measure the electro- motive force at the moment of experi- ment. For a given position of the microphone this apparatuf drelo h Pps a cer- tain intensity, whic.: ...i.den.ed by the index of the galvanometer. "When the microphone is exposed to the action of the organic sound vibrations, from heart, lungs, etc., its membrane is subject to periodic deformations, which aro re- Nealed to the eye of the observer by the galvanometer hand, the quotient of the voltage of the electric source of the resistance of the microphone Gircult be- ing kept constant. In order to test and check the vis- ual record thus obtained of the patient's internal mechanisms, Dr. Glover has devised a system of two 'receivers insert- ed in the secondary coil of the induction - spool. This is appropriately used in ex- amining respiration and heart action. It Is to be noted also that the galvano- meter test Is of value when associated with ordinary feeling of the pulse, for it reveale delicacies of the vascular vi- brations which would not be sensible to the organs of touch. "Finally it is a simple enough step to attach a recording needle to the galvan- ometer, somewhat after the plan adopt- ed for the testing of candidates for the French aviation service, thus obtaining a permanent graphical record, which may be studied at leisure under far more fav- orable conditions than those of the oper- ating room or the clinic." • • • Gooti-Bye, Ohl Backache Norville° Will Fix You I Stiffness is Rubbed Right Out; Every Sign of Pain Disappears. Gee whiz -think of it! No more stomach dosing necessary to cure your lame back. Every trace of lameness, every bit of stiffness, every sign of weakness in the back's muscles can be rubbed away for all time to come by good old "Nerviline." No other liniment can do the work so quickly, can penetrate so deeply, can bring ease and comfort to the back -weary sufferer as Nerviline in- variably does. Backache isn't the only malady Nerviline is quick to cure. For lum- bago or eciatica you would go far to find relief so speedy as Nerviline gives. For chronic rheumatism there are pain -destroying properties in Ner- y,iline that give it first rank. The way it limbers up a stiff joint and takes soreness out of strained or rheumatic muscles is simply a wonder. If you have an ache or a pain any- where, if you have a sore back, it stiff neck, a stiff joint, a strained muscle - if you have lumbago, congested chest or sore throat, Just try Nerviline. Rub it on plentifully -it won't bas - ter, it can't do anything but cure you quickly.

Elephants, at least captive ele- phants, have queer tastes, says Pear - son's Weekly, in an entertaining article about the peculiarities of four' legged gourmets. One memorable day. in 1908 Suffa Celli, the mighty and. popular Indian elephant at- the zoo, ate his bed. A thirty-six pound truss of straw had been put down on the floor for his comfoet, and when the keeper went round in the morning not even the band* of the truss re- mained. Suffa Cull! folloWed it up during the day by eating three trusses of hay, weighing 150 pounds. Finally some one brought a number of Christmas Puddings into the elephant house. Suf- fa Celli swallowed his pudding with- out even opening the cardboard box that contained it. A zoo keeper once kept a tally of the ntnnber of hot cross buns an ele- phant took down.

The average giraffe loves nothing better in the world than a good ;square meal of flowers. It has not the slight- est idea, however, of the difference between artificial and real flowers. Some years ago when "garden hats" were all the rage the giraffe at the zoo made a day 01 11. In that glorious twelve hours he accounted for no few- er than seventeen hats, the majority of which were chewed beyond recog- nition before they could be rescued. One of the funniest mistakes a gi- raffe ever made -funny for lookers. on, that is to say -was when a pea- cock strolled into the paddock, The peacock's tall caught the giraffe's eye, and evidently the animal mistook it for a gigantic and luxuriant species of flower. At any rate, before any one could interfere, down came the gir- affe's long neck, and, seizing the pea- cock by the tail, he hoisted it in mid- air, It was not long before bird and tail said good-bye to each other, and the peacock fluttered away, screaming with indignation. Although a trifle astonished at the proceedings of the newly discovered flower, the giraffe chewed the tail with great gusto. Minard's, Liniment Cures Colds, Etc. Bungalows.

It is so wen suited to the climate of India that it is generally used by even the better* class of British residents.

Having noticed the unusual weight of some hair pow- der, he inquired what it was made of and found that it was a finely pow- dered clay from Aue .

The curious symbol in tbe centre of Turkish stamps, an intricate and mys- terious device, is the "toughra," or signature of the sultan. It is said to owe its origin to Sultan :tiered 1., who was unable to write his name. • St. Nicholas quotes from an article en "What Philately Teaches" as follows: "He (Murad I.) signed imperial de- crees dipping his fingers in ink and placing them on the documents with three fingers close together and the little finger and thumb extended. In the course of time this was adopted and, so to speak, consecrated as the signature of the sultan. It was also elaborated and arranged to form .a written phrase, While preserving in a genefal way its original form. The toughra contains certain diameters which are permanent and minor ones which change. The latter are the names of the sovereign and his fath- er." Mystic signitications in course of time have become associated with this toughra. BST THE TVA FOR LITTLE ONES Baby's Own Tablets are the best medicine a mother can give her little ones.

An explorer who took part in an Antarctic expedition states that the most remarkable effect of the cold which he noticed was the loss of sense and touch in the fingers. It was al- most complete. "Suppose you wanted to look for a knife in your kit bag. You would put your hand in and feel round for it, and you would actually bave it in your hand and not know. It was the same with everything we handled. We saw that we picked it up and saw that we held the article; we could not feel that we had it." He added that it was not possible to shave, because the skin became irri- tated and sore, while if the beard be- eame too long it became moist and then froze into a block. The only thing to do was to keep the beard and moustache clipped close.
