"My dear ars,. Darnley, you for- get," she said, btandlyr "3tr., Crawahaw is quite of personage in ------shire ; and besides, his wealth gives. Mm any position in society tlsat he wishea to occupy.

Which thought proved Lady 'Burton. to bo a'woman of :some perception and common :!sense. Dorothy Leicester progressed to the end of welcoming her guests at last, and then exvery one trooped' off to the tennis court to see tlui match which was the original raison d'etre of the tete, . Nancy was kept busy in the tent seeing that all the elderly ladies wexeserved wl with ice, drinks or tea,. and Darnley had no chance cf get- tiAg near her, Be planted himself,. however, near tireentrance to the refreshment tent, and, it must be confessed, he grumbled a. great deal tinder his breath at the crowd, the Pleat, and, last of aIl,, at the fact that his darling was separated from him, and buried ,all the afternoon in such a spot. Sir Humphrey was careful to car- ry out his daughter's instructions, and presented Miss Hamilton to all the smart people of the neigh- borhood.. It made Derrick Darnley both. smile with pleasure and foam with anger as ho heard snatches of re- marks about the girl he loved; his jealousy was up in arms, too, as he saw the men stare Bard at her, end then ask Sir Humphrey to introduce 'them: "A set of countrified bump- kins! ump-kins1 I should like to kick them ell'" he savagely declared to him- !' °'lf, forgetting, with a lover's sel- -r-hness, that, as yet, Nancy was, a' t publicly allotted to him ashis, property, and that other eyes, doubtless, found her as charming to gaze on as his own had always done. He grew moody after a While; his love for this fair youngcreature was not all smoothness; it was so great. so thorough, it possessed him so 'completer*., that he could.think of nothing else; it seemed to him now as if he ha.cl known Nancy all his life ;. he read her simple. frank, sweetnature as clearly, as he read. book. He had no, wish to dive into her past, for he knew she could riot deceive, even had she tried to do- so, and he would have staked. his existence on her girlish record being as clear and pure as Doro- thy's :itself. Only once in their frequent con- versations.had he broached the sub meet of that January night, .when hisstrong right arm had struck the eoward into the glitter ; and though he had had no right then to question further, he learned enough to know that Nancy hated to ,be re; minded of the sceno, from no sham=' p her part, but from a woman's pride and dignity.

He heard the tower clock chine sevent and in: fancy' he saw N'aney wending her way to the si- lent arid distant end of the lake. Ile' resorted to all sorts of strategy, but Mrs. Fairfax- was not to be shaken off. It may be'that the pretty, passe, little matron had guessed something of the truth, and in pique determin- ed to spoil sport; but whether. that was so or not, she -successfully 'yuan - aged to prevent Mr. Darnley from escaping, and roused him nearly to the 'verge of madness and _anger. It was just half -past seven when he got free at last, and then he had to. manoeuvre ` to prevent re- mark being, passed on his 'strange eagerness and haste. "Confound that woman!" he mut- tered, under his breath, "we shall not have a moment, and my poor, precious one has been waiting down there all alone. I could willingly pitch Mrs. Fairfax into that foun- tain"F Once free of the crowd, however, he strode along quickly, and breathed a deep sigh of relief as he left_ the buzz of voices and the strains of music behind him. He hurried through the rose gar- dens, past the spot hallowed for ever in his- memory, as the place where his lips had first touched Nancy's, then through many nar- row paths to the lower lake. His heart thrilled•' with the in- tensity of his love. In another mo:-. meat all the ',misty dreams of.the past weelc would be realized, and Nancy would be in' his arms -Nancy herself—no myth -no tantalizing, illusive spirit; but Nancy in her ex- quisite beauty and enthralling sweetness.

The tough of his strong arms about her --the whisper of his love - laden voice ---the touch of his lips as he rained passionate kisses on her. sweet. upturned face, awoke a good of ectasy such as she had never felt bolero, and would remember in all the years of her life to come. Long, after, when despair was eat- ing out her heart, Nancy recalled the. beauty of this scene -the peace- ful lake gliding serenely at her: feet, the feintly znoving boughs, the rud- dy glow of the setting sun, the soft murmuring breeze, balmy and lad- en with a thousand heavy scents, stealing slowly upon them, as though it would join in their rap - tura and learn their joy. Suddenly a elock from afar struck eight. With a. start, Nancy drew herself from his hold. "I must go. They will wander,'" he murmured, shyly, "Let them wonder, What do we ata l Are you not mine now?

In talking of pneumonia to peo ple in general, it is necessery to say- and repeat many times that pneumonia is not a bad cold run s mad, for this conviction appears to be invinciblylodged in the laymind. g an Pneernonue is first, last, and all the time an acute local disease of the lungs, which, according to the gravity of the case, become more or less consolidated or choked up.. The more of the lung tissue that is thus choked, the less the lungs are able to breathe, The first con- sequence of this helplessness on the part of the lungs is that the heart -that gallant organ --labors to get r enough blood to keep things going, and this is why we see the distress- ing rapid and shallow breathing so characteristic of the disease.' With all the heart can do it, can only pinup blood, it cannot oxygen- ate it --that is the function of the stings, Presently, therefore, the blood stream beccizues more and more impure, owing to lack of oxy- gen, .y gen, and in those eases ending in death one of two things happens— either the heart gives out entirely, unable to stand the strain put up - an it, or else the system is overcome by- toxins, that is to say, by the im- purity indueed by th.e,lack of oxy- genation. It has long been recognized that what the pneumonia patient needs' is oxygen, and we are now sure that this is best supplied by a direct current of fresh air from outside, and thati, this fresh should hair ,_oa b t.ebasiso-a. h f 11 treatment t fr n t to en o the e 'fiery beginning. Too often has life been lost by a failure to recognize this truth, or by a belief that rushing in canned oxygon at the 1st moment would effect a euro. There is less pneu; nhonia among country dwellers than among eity people. There is less pneumonia among people who ven- tilate well than among the stuffy. And there is less pneumonia in the SUMMIT than in the winter. because in the summer there is a free circu- lation of air throu;lrall our houses. The ideal treatment of pneumonia is to carry thc patient into the open air and keep liitn thorn with pro- per precautions= against wind and weather. But as this cannot al- ways be done, the patient can at least be placed in the largest, sun- niest and best ventilated room in the house. If possible, a room with windows on tiro sides is much to be preferred to one which can be, open- ed only'to one point of the corn - pass. By a system of screening, it can always be managed ,that 'a'direct current of very cold air shall-. not blow, right on the bed, but the air of the room should be eons -Wetly renewed and always eool.

How little did she think, poor girl, that the trite proverb quoted so lightly, would be only "too griev- ously proved in her own case t "Do not defy zee?"" Darnley ask - cd, with mock , anger. Beware, madam 1 or— Well, for two pins, I will pick you up in my awns and walk' off with you to the house, there!" Nancy shrank back, as if she ac- tually feared this, whereat Darn- ley broke into hearty laughter. He pushed aside the boughs for her to pass on to the path;., then just as she was going he. stopped. "Do you really love me, Nancy f" he asked, softly, yet with deep eag- erness. You have not told me yet." She lifted her eyes to his. ee I love you with all my heart. I shall love you till'I dies" she an- swered, solemnly. Their lips met in a last kiss, then the boughs ' slipped back, and the sound of their footsteps died away in the distance. When they were quite; gone, a man crept° out from behind some bushes. His swarthy face '•vas pal- lid with anger and jealousy; "he. strode to ' and fro with clenched hands, muttering: angrily every now and then between his pale lips. Few of the guests would have recogniz- ed in this agitated, haggard, in- furiated -looking man, the self-sat- isfied, important, yet undeniably plebeian millionaire, Thomas Crawshaw, whose .appearance at the fete had caused. such.a flutter among the fair sex; and little did Nancy think that in this, the very birth of her exquisite;happiness, a cloud no larger than a man's hand teas rising slowly from the horizon —a cloud that would darken and destroy her simple, peaceful life.
