Lady Burton coughed slightly;
she felt annoyed at the remark, just
when she, had settled in her own
minty that hes sweet Maude should
reign over the Crawshaw beak

And with that Derrick's another

treated entirely cat poor Nancy and
her position at Ripstone Hauls.

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

wexeserved wl with ice, drinks or tea,.
and Darnley had no chance cf get-

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.

-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.

into her past, for he knew she could

do- so, and he would have staked.

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;

pride and dignity. Yes, Da ',' ni

N'aney wending her way to the si-

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-

tered, under his breath, "we shall

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.

sweetness.
One more moment.
He pushed aside a ,low -hanging
bough,- and then' he paused:

Her face paled at his vehemence,

It was as if a sudden ray of gol-

dy glow of the setting sun, the soft
murmuring breeze, balmy and lad-

stealing slowly upon them, as
though it would join in their rap -

herself from his hold.

1e ESH, AIR IN PNEUMONIA.
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,

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

of the room should be eons -Wetly

and again; "but I warn you I shall

world, my own dainty witch 4"
" `Man proposes,' foil know the
rest," laughed Nancy, nervously,
ILS she picked up her gloves and
prepared to start.
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,

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.
