CHAPTER XXIX.
It Wes ebintide. The sea had gone out
s far as possible from the semicircle of
hingle that made a little bay, mad it now
ay. as if sulltiag, in & long, gray, foam -

a centre bulged forwerde and seemed ready
presently to burst over the dull expanse of
and stretched out between the sea and the
emicirele of shingled beach. This shelved
n three distinot terraces or stept up to a
wind-swept meadow. Aoross this meadow
sandy path led to the back of Mrs. Rim -
11's cottage.
The gate of the little garden, set in a
hedge of tamarisk bushes, led on to the
meadow; end Ruth could spend as much
time as she chose beside the sea, without
attracting notice by having to pass through
the village. Bathing was over at Dohnouth.
There was a nautili lager and a much wider
sea -front at the end of two straggling lines
of cottages that constituted the village,
where boats were drawn up on the beach
and, fishermen in oilekin hats and. blue
jerseys loafed in the sunshine. There was
only one set of lodgings in the place besides
Ruth's cottage, and these others had been
let and vacated early in the season. No
fear of an intruder on her favorite haunt
disturbed Ruth as she sat on the lowest of
the shelves, her feet resting on the sand
that mingled -with fine gravel, screened by
constant friction of the water from the
coarse shingle on which she sat. Her rich
beown hair was blown out of its soulptur-
esque waves by the wind, which had
brought color to her cheeks and a yet
deeper glow than usual to her sweet, dark
eyes. Her mouth, however, looked a trifle
harder ; it was still beautiful in its firm
chiselling, but it looked less ready to curve
cheeks were rosy, and his sunny hair veiled'
bright, dark eyes; but the hand, he had.
put on Ruth's shoulder was too tiny and
fragile for childish health, and the email
pair of lege above his black socks were too
slender, though Irene the smallness of the
bones they did not look skinny. There was
too, a. wistful restlessness about him as lie
peered over her shoulder at Ruth.
"Why 1" he exclaimed, "what & time
you have sae here quite a till, doine nothing!
Nurse saw you when I came out for my
walk; she eau, you across the meadow. I
wanted to come to you, but nurse scolded;
she said; 'You must not trouble the lady.'
Do I troeble you, dear'?"
The pathetic ring in the thin, crooked
voice went to Ruth's heart; she slid her
arm round the little fellow, drew him close
to her, and kissed him over and over
again.
"You never trouble me, darling; you are
my dear littleo ornforte"
He wriggled himself out of her arms, so
that he could see her face,
"Comfort V' he said wonderingly; "yon
don't want comfort; you are well, and you
don't have to wear black frocks."
A cloud came over the bright, eager
little face as he looked at his black clothes.
Ruth knew that the child wore mourning
for his mother, and that his father, the
rector of the little parish, had been away
for some months from ill health.
She bent forward and tenderly kissed
him.
"Shall I call you my sunshine ?" she
said; "you are such a happy little fellow!"
He danced about, and then began to
speak so eagerly that the words cants tum-
bling out one on top of the other, so that
he stammered a little in getting them in
order.
"I—Pse not tsvite happy. When papa
comes home, then I'll be happy."
"You have your uncle," Ruth said.
He danced away from her again, holding
his hat with his tiny band, for the wind
was rising. Presently he came back and
atood in front of her.
"Did you mean Uncle Peter ? " he gave
an incredible look, screwed. his small mouth,
and began to whistle. "I say, dear" [he
put his hand on Ruth's shoulder], "don't
tell nurse, you know ; acoa she says he's
the best uncletat a little boy ever had ; but
I think Uncle Peter's a dunce."
Ruth laughed she knew the Reverend
Peter Mould had in his earlier days taken
pato a merry smile than it had done in her
a double first at Oxford, and that he was
still a fellow of one of its mese distin-
guished colleges. She had heard from Mrs.
Rimell that he was too shy and reserved to
be expected to call on any one, but that the
curate supplied this omission with regard
to the poor people.
" A dunce is he? I wonder what you
mean by a dunce, Watty! Am I a dunce ?"
"You 1—he .gave her a vehement hug,
and stood leaning againsther shoulder; "I
should just say you wasn't! Why, you
knows everything, I 'spect—just like papa
does. You knowe how to pet and kiss me"
[he gave her a tender little squeeze); "you
knows 'musing stories. I love stories, I do.
Why I b'lieve if it was in -doors you could
do Ride a. Cock -horse' and Going to
Market ' as well as pane does."
" Oh, yes 1" said Ruth, laughing; "and
I can do Margery Dew."
Watty looked aggrieved..
" Look here!" he said. "Last night I
asked Uncle Peter if he could do This
Little Pig Went to Market,' and he just
looked up from his book and pushed up his
spectacles and stared." The little mimic's
face .expressed such utter bewilderment
that Ruth could not helplaughing, "Well,
he did. look so," the child went on gravely;
"and he said lee didn't know about pigs,
but he would like to teach me to read for
myself." •
Watty made such a wry face that Ruth
said, "That was very kind at your uncle."
Ear little friend stood upright and looked
suspiciously at her. " I want to do what
papa does," he answered, .after a minute's
thought. "I heard him tell the school-
mistress 'at I was to wait till I was five."
"It will be nice for you to be able to
read," Ruth smiled at her little friend, who
stood looking into her eyes as if he meant
to read her thoughts.
happy days at Appledore. The perfect
rest of this place and the bracing sea -air
had, however, benefited the girl. At first
she had been troubled by her father's con-
stant questions, and had found a difficulty
in soothing his uneasiness. Fortunately
lie had not suspected the truth. The idea
that tormented him was that this removal
to the sea, as well as the enlargement of
the house in Broad Street, were both
sacrifices made on his behalf by his too
generous friend. One of Ruth's trials had
been the having to listen to her father's
constant praises of her husband, and his
congratulations on the treasure she possess-
ed in Michael's love. Almost every day
Bryant had asked her when she expected
a visit from Michael, but his confirmed
optimism had after a time quieted Bryant's
misgivings. His returning health and
strength helped him to the conclusion that
probably this delay was the best thing that
could have happened with regard to the
future happiness both of Michael and Ruth;
it would give them time to get used to one
another, and would help his daughter to
appreciate the good and lovable qualities
of her husband.
He could not, however, understand
Michael's absence, or the need of the pro-
longed absences from home which now and
again Michael spoke of when he wrote to
his father-in-law. In these brief notes
there was usually an enclosure for Ruth,
but Bryant did not know that this en-
closure simply contained the monthly pay-
ment which Michael sent to his wife with
a request for acknowledgment, and an in-
quiry for her health and her father's.
It was certain that Ruth's health and
strength had benefited by the air of Dol -
mouth, and by the relief from pressing
anxiety about her father's illness e but the
deepened consciousness of her own wrong-
doing and of her utter dependence on B,
man to whom she could snake no return
had aged the girl.
As she now sat, her eyes—sometimes
brown, sometimes a greenish gray, accord-
ing to the light that fell on them—fixed on
the far-off, sullen sea, she looked very
lovely; but her expression had changed.
The unexpected mobility of her face had
been one of its charms. Now, though
sweet and kind thoughts still glistened in
her liquid eyes, and at times curved her
lovely lips in a passing smile, or the reflec-
tion of deeper, sadder feelings flitted over
her face, as the shadow of a passing cloud
falls on a bright landscape, the brilliant,
saucy glances that once made her sweet face
so bewitching, so irresistibly fascinating,
had gone seemingly forever. Her move-
ments even were slower than they used to
be. She had told her father only this
morning that she had suddenly become ten
years older. Sometimes when Bryant asked
Jeer how soon she expected a letter
from Michael her short answers rows -
ed his curiosity, and he foiled it so
difficult to avoid a falsehood that she was
glad to escape as soon as she oduld to her
favorite haunt, the little lonely bay. Ruth
loved to come here at ebb -tide. She noel
sat on the shingle 'thit afternoon watching
the dull, sad -colored. water, and listening
tq its ever -lessening moan, watching the dip
of the sea -gull's wing, till the dreary mon.

words of her father's had caused.
Be had. been telling her how he longed
for a grandchild—another little Ruth; "the
picture of yourself, though there can never
be again such another little maid," he
added.
While he spoke the blood flew to Ruth'a
milk white skin in angry protest, dyeing
the fair face till it even showed on her
temples and among her hair. She snatched

this while she had little by little gained

De look I There's 4 Romper coming round
now."
Ruth looked where he pointed.
Coming round a white mass of rook, al-
most tall enough to be called a cliff, that
made the boundary of her little bay, she
saw Reginald Bevington. Her first impulse
was to take flight as 4 refuge from the in.
'Waft longing she felt to see him, and the
joy his mere presence gave her • but she
knew the thought wars idle. Before she
could possibly reach the meadow he Would
be beside her, She hesitated a moment as
to whether he should send Watty away or
keep him beside her, but reflection quickly
warned her that the child would certainly
tell his Aurae all that he heard, and she did
not put much confidence in Mr. Bevington's
selfoontrol She felt sure he would reproach
her for her marriage. She must take care
of her own reputation in Dolmouth.
"Ye had better go home, dear Watty,"
she said. "My father will be looking for
me, and I expect your nurse is waiting tea
for you. Run away home, darling, and ask
your uncle if you may come and have tea
with us to-rnorrow."
Meanwhile Mr. Bevington was coming
very slowly forward, picking his way over
the fallen masses of rock that added to the
natural barrier at the angle of the semi-
circle. Watty lingered ; he was anxious to
get a nearer view of the new arrival, a
strange gentleman being me at Dolmouth.
Ruth abruptly rose; she took the child's
tiny hand and led him up to the top of the
beach.
"I don't know," he said; "you are go-
ing to be my wife ; you said 'yes' when I
asked you. Well, then, you can read,
can't youl A husband and a wife needn't
both read you know."- • Be looked trium-
phant, and then darted away from her on
to the wet sand and came back with a spray
of dried seaweed and held it out to her.
"But, Watty," she said, when she had
kissed him for his present, "I might be ill,
like your papa, and then I should want you
to read 'to me."
He looked perplexed and stood lost in
thought; then he burst out eagerly; "I
know, I'll tell you; don't never be ill—
that'll be the best way."
He put his arm round her neck, and she
fondled the delicate hand and kissed the
child's warm, flushed cheeks.
"Yon are a darling," she said ; "you
must come and see my father one of these
days. Ask your uncle if you may come."
"Why, of course I may. Why didn't
you ask me sooner? You live in a cottage,
so you must be a villager; I know I may
go and see villagers."
Be flushed when he saw that she was
laughing,
"I don't think you are the same as the
other villagers you are a lady, and of
course your papa is a gentleman; but you
must be villagers if you live in the village,
mustn't you?"
Rath did not answer; she sat wondering
whether she and her father should Hee on
for years in this quiet, lonely place, buried
alive, as it were, from every one they had
ever known. She had heard more than
once from her aunt and from her cousin
Peggy, but she had not answered their
letters, which had been forwarded to her
from Appledore. The girl had often wished
to write to Sally Voce to inquire what was
happening at the old place, but she felt too
much ashamed of her present position to
run the risk of exposing it to Sally, She
knew how inquisitive the Woman was, and
she might take it iato her head to come
over if this opening were given her.
"Why do you come here, dear?" The
small cranked voice roused Ruth from a
reverie. "Why don't you go to the big
beach round the point?" he nodded toward
the tight mid of the bay; "it's more, mut-
ing there, and you'd see Tom and Joe;
they're always on that beach when they
don't go out fishing. Nobody never comes
here."
"That's why I like it darling. like to
have you etcl the sea all to myself."
Walter stood thinking; his ready wit
for once had failed him, At last he burst

REATLY SHOCKED.
A Dodge that Challenges Admire non for
Ds Ingenuity.
The dodges resorted to . by travelling
fakirs are many and Ingenious, One of the
cleverest is recorded by a London paper,
and challenges admiration for its in-
genuity, though the well-known aversion o
elephants to mice might, perhaps, be taken
as explaining the mystery of the animal's
behavior.
The proprietor of a travelling circus an-
nounced. that on a certain night a trained
elephant would play the "Russian Hymn"
on a piano with its trunk. When the
evening came, the circus was crowded to
the roof with an expectant public.
After some of the usual performances had
been gone through, four men brought in an
upright piano, which they placed in the
centre a the arena. Then the elephant
was led in. Be walked slowly three times
around the ring, and then, amid the keen-
est excitement, advanced to the piano.
With a slight movement of his trunk he
opened the keyboard, butt scarcely had he
done so when a sudden change mune over
his appearance. His eyes dilated with fear
and rage, he litted his trunk in the air, and
then with a wild scream of terror he rushed
out of the arena.
The proprietor of the circus and the
elephant's keeper held a short and hurried
consultation, and then they too left the
ring,
After a few moments the circus proprie-
tor entered again, and announced with
regret that the performance could not take
place. The fact was, he said, that the
elephant had recognized in the keyboard of
the instrument a portion of the tusks of his
long. -lost mother, who had fallen a prey to
the ivory -hunters of Africa.

serious illnesa. For outside wear in sum-
mer, linen may be tolerated as clothing,
but nowhere else. Where, however, it is
at its most useful and best, is in house-
hold uses. For table service, for the toilet,
and for minor ornamental details, it ia
simply invaluable; its smoothness of text-

the one fabric fit to drape the dining -table
and to use in the toilet, while its suitability
for needle -work decoration, makes it ad-
mirable for all kinds of fancy work. And
here it is rightfully used; but to wear next

End of the unhappy Charlotte or Mexico
Expected in a Short Time,
It was a melancholy day for the members
of the royal family of Belgium on June 7,
when they made their annual official pil-
grimage to the Chateau de Bouchout, near
the village of Meysse, to present their
"best wishes" to the unhappy Charlotte,
ex -Empress of Mexico. It was the fifty-
fourth anniversary of her birth. Her
condition since that day, too, has continued
to grow worse, so that it is believed the
princess is soon to be relieved by death of
her sufferings.
Until a short time ago she had at least
moments when she appeared to be herself
and understood, in part, at least, what was
said to her. These moments came most
frequently in [lee presence of her sister-in-
law, the Queen, for whom she always mani-
fested a deep love, Few persons are
allowed near her, in fact, as the presence of
one whom she does not like or who is
unknown to her always makes her tremble,
and thus increases her sufferings. But she
had always welcomed the Queen, whose
presence had a soothing effect on her.
But when Her Majesty approached her
on the birthday anniversary mentioned the
ex -Empress looked on her with stony eyes,
from which no ray of intelligence flashed.
Even the announcement a few days ago
that her favorite neice, Princess Josephine,
had been married, had no effect whatever
uponher—did not realize the meaning of the
words spoken. UAW recently she played
daily npon her piano, arid her improvis-
ations at times were beautiful—the fancies
of a mad brain. But now she has no
interest in music. She is growing weaker
daily, and the end of her suffering is not
thought to be far distant.
Curling Hair. -
Now that waved hair is worn so much a
great many women ate dependent upon
curling irons for the waves that are so de-
sirable. This is the way a hair dresser
waves the hair on each side of the fashion-
able parting: In the first :place she uses
very large irons. The hair on each side of
the parting is divided, each division is
combed, then wrapped. about the irons and
held for a minute. The hair is wrapped
upward toward the parting. This gives a
more graceful ripple. The hair near the
ears is waved backward. The hair is not
combed. out until the heat has entirely left
Should the hair not commence its wav-
ing near enough to the parting, the iron is
run under, and, clamping it, rolls it up-
ward. This gives .the spring from the
parting that is so sought after. The hair
t in the back is waved after the same man-
ner. If the face is long and thin, never
let the back hair "sag," but pull it firmly
into the knot.
A Hudson Bay Post.
Life at a Hudson Bay poet, far from a
railway, may seem a very quiet and unin-
teresting one to dwellers in busy towns;
but quiet as it is, the particular post in the
district is the centre of all life e.ndanirnation
or all white men, half-breeds, and Indians
within a range of many miles. There they
come to hear the news and bring the back-
woods gossip. At any hour of the day one
or two Indians or half-breeds may be seen
listlessly hanging about the store or shop
smoking but talking little. Perhaps they
have come into buy something, perhaps they
want to sell some skins—or very likely they
are only loafing.
Often they come to see the manager sine'
ply in the hope of getting an Advance of
money or of stores oncredit, previous to go-
ing on a prolonged hunting trip, when, if re-
fused the first time, they will hang about
for days, persistently and petulantly return-
ing to the charge. But this advance is often
allowed, repayment being takett when the
furs come in in the eprieg.
Tice Indiana look upon the managot of a

A Cure For Sunburn.
If you have been badly sunburnt just
as soon as you can procure it apply to the
burned parts a thick coating of white vase -
line, which let remain for ten minutes or
more; then rub it off by applying a soft
dry cloth gently,; have a bowl of very hot
water brought to you and a big linen
towel. Dip the towel in the water, which
must be hot enough to steam, and a.lmoot
bury your face in it but do not touch the
skin with it for some time; you should
steam your face this way for fifteen minutes,
and by that time every drop of blood in your
body will seem to be in your face. . Then
call for more hot water and apply it in slow,
gentle fashion to the akin for fifteen minutes.
Then -put on a coating of the vaseline and
lie down for half an hour; when you get up
you will be fresh as a daisy and your face
will not trouble you in the least. Of course
the length of time for treatment will depend
upon how badly you are burned. But an
hour ought to fix you up all right. Apply
vaseline again on retiring.
Definition of a Lady.
A lady is a woman who is honorable,
truthful, and refined; who regards the com-
fort of others first; who never forgets how
important are little courtesies to the happi-
ness of life; who is loyal to her friends,and
never betrays a trust; who scorns to think
a mean thought, or speak a mean word, or
perform a mean act; who reverences age,
protects weakness, and maintains her own
womanly self-respect.
ln European countries the title is goner.
ally canfineci to women who belong to the
nobility and gentry. In this country it
justly belongs to every woman, young or
old, rich or poor, beautiful or plain, who
possesses the qualifications we have named,
and the term should not be made meaning-
less by indiscriminate or unthinking use.
Souvenir Pillows.
The craze for souvenir pillows is super-
seding that of souvenir spoons. They are
all shapes, sizes and materials, from ging-
ham to costly brocade, and they must have
a meaning. One young woman has sofa
pillows made from pieces of each dress- of
her wedding trousseau. A romantic matron
shows one made from the dress which she
wore on her first meeting with her " liege
lord ;" another of the gown worn when he
asked the all important question; a. third
from a piece of her wedding - dress ; and
sweetest of all, from baby's christening
robe.
Brushing the Teeth.
The proper way to brush and clean the
teeth is to brush from the gums downward,
for the upper teeth, and from the gums
upward, for the inferior or lower teeth. It
is not leas important to brush downward
on the palatine -roof surface of the upper
teeth, and upward an the lingual -tongue
side ot the lower teeth ; that is to say,
brush the inside of the teeth as carefully as
the outside.

It Wes ebintide. The sea had gone out
s far as possible from the semicircle of
hingle that made a little bay, mad it now

a centre bulged forwerde and seemed ready
presently to burst over the dull expanse of
and stretched out between the sea and the
emicirele of shingled beach. This shelved
n three distinot terraces or stept up to a
wind-swept meadow. Aoross this meadow
sandy path led to the back of Mrs. Rim -
11's cottage.
The gate of the little garden, set in a
hedge of tamarisk bushes, led on to the
meadow; end Ruth could spend as much
time as she chose beside the sea, without
attracting notice by having to pass through
the village. Bathing was over at Dohnouth.
There was a nautili lager and a much wider
sea -front at the end of two straggling lines
of cottages that constituted the village,
where boats were drawn up on the beach
and, fishermen in oilekin hats and. blue
jerseys loafed in the sunshine. There was
only one set of lodgings in the place besides
Ruth's cottage, and these others had been
let and vacated early in the season. No
fear of an intruder on her favorite haunt
disturbed Ruth as she sat on the lowest of
the shelves, her feet resting on the sand
that mingled -with fine gravel, screened by
constant friction of the water from the
coarse shingle on which she sat. Her rich
beown hair was blown out of its soulptur-
esque waves by the wind, which had
brought color to her cheeks and a yet
deeper glow than usual to her sweet, dark
eyes. Her mouth, however, looked a trifle
harder ; it was still beautiful in its firm
chiselling, but it looked less ready to curve
cheeks were rosy, and his sunny hair veiled'
bright, dark eyes; but the hand, he had.
put on Ruth's shoulder was too tiny and
fragile for childish health, and the email
pair of lege above his black socks were too
slender, though Irene the smallness of the
bones they did not look skinny. There was
too, a. wistful restlessness about him as lie
peered over her shoulder at Ruth.
"Why 1" he exclaimed, "what & time
you have sae here quite a till, doine nothing!
Nurse saw you when I came out for my
walk; she eau, you across the meadow. I
wanted to come to you, but nurse scolded;
she said; 'You must not trouble the lady.'
Do I troeble you, dear'?"
The pathetic ring in the thin, crooked
voice went to Ruth's heart; she slid her
arm round the little fellow, drew him close
to her, and kissed him over and over
again.
"You never trouble me, darling; you are
my dear littleo ornforte"
He wriggled himself out of her arms, so
that he could see her face,
"Comfort V' he said wonderingly; "yon
don't want comfort; you are well, and you
don't have to wear black frocks."
A cloud came over the bright, eager
little face as he looked at his black clothes.
Ruth knew that the child wore mourning
for his mother, and that his father, the
rector of the little parish, had been away
for some months from ill health.
She bent forward and tenderly kissed
him.
"Shall I call you my sunshine ?" she
said; "you are such a happy little fellow!"
He danced about, and then began to
speak so eagerly that the words cants tum-
bling out one on top of the other, so that
he stammered a little in getting them in
order.
"I—Pse not tsvite happy. When papa
comes home, then I'll be happy."
"You have your uncle," Ruth said.
He danced away from her again, holding
his hat with his tiny band, for the wind
was rising. Presently he came back and
atood in front of her.
"Did you mean Uncle Peter ? " he gave
an incredible look, screwed. his small mouth,
and began to whistle. "I say, dear" [he
put his hand on Ruth's shoulder], "don't
tell nurse, you know ; acoa she says he's
the best uncletat a little boy ever had ; but
I think Uncle Peter's a dunce."
Ruth laughed she knew the Reverend
Peter Mould had in his earlier days taken
pato a merry smile than it had done in her
a double first at Oxford, and that he was
still a fellow of one of its mese distin-
guished colleges. She had heard from Mrs.
Rimell that he was too shy and reserved to
be expected to call on any one, but that the
curate supplied this omission with regard
to the poor people.
" A dunce is he? I wonder what you
mean by a dunce, Watty! Am I a dunce ?"
"You 1—he .gave her a vehement hug,
and stood leaning againsther shoulder; "I
should just say you wasn't! Why, you
knows everything, I 'spect—just like papa
does. You knowe how to pet and kiss me"
[he gave her a tender little squeeze); "you
knows 'musing stories. I love stories, I do.
Why I b'lieve if it was in -doors you could
do Ride a. Cock -horse' and Going to
Market ' as well as pane does."
" Oh, yes 1" said Ruth, laughing; "and
I can do Margery Dew."
Watty looked aggrieved..
" Look here!" he said. "Last night I
asked Uncle Peter if he could do This
Little Pig Went to Market,' and he just
looked up from his book and pushed up his
spectacles and stared." The little mimic's
face .expressed such utter bewilderment
that Ruth could not helplaughing, "Well,
he did. look so," the child went on gravely;
"and he said lee didn't know about pigs,
but he would like to teach me to read for
myself." •
Watty made such a wry face that Ruth
said, "That was very kind at your uncle."
Ear little friend stood upright and looked
suspiciously at her. " I want to do what
papa does," he answered, .after a minute's
thought. "I heard him tell the school-
mistress 'at I was to wait till I was five."
"It will be nice for you to be able to
read," Ruth smiled at her little friend, who
stood looking into her eyes as if he meant
to read her thoughts.
happy days at Appledore. The perfect
rest of this place and the bracing sea -air
had, however, benefited the girl. At first
she had been troubled by her father's con-
stant questions, and had found a difficulty
in soothing his uneasiness. Fortunately
lie had not suspected the truth. The idea
that tormented him was that this removal
to the sea, as well as the enlargement of
the house in Broad Street, were both
sacrifices made on his behalf by his too
generous friend. One of Ruth's trials had
been the having to listen to her father's
constant praises of her husband, and his
congratulations on the treasure she possess-
ed in Michael's love. Almost every day
Bryant had asked her when she expected
a visit from Michael, but his confirmed
optimism had after a time quieted Bryant's
misgivings. His returning health and
strength helped him to the conclusion that
probably this delay was the best thing that
could have happened with regard to the
future happiness both of Michael and Ruth;
it would give them time to get used to one
another, and would help his daughter to
appreciate the good and lovable qualities
of her husband.
He could not, however, understand
Michael's absence, or the need of the pro-
longed absences from home which now and
again Michael spoke of when he wrote to
his father-in-law. In these brief notes
there was usually an enclosure for Ruth,
but Bryant did not know that this en-
closure simply contained the monthly pay-
ment which Michael sent to his wife with
a request for acknowledgment, and an in-
quiry for her health and her father's.
It was certain that Ruth's health and
strength had benefited by the air of Dol -
mouth, and by the relief from pressing
anxiety about her father's illness e but the
deepened consciousness of her own wrong-
doing and of her utter dependence on B,
man to whom she could snake no return
had aged the girl.
As she now sat, her eyes—sometimes
brown, sometimes a greenish gray, accord-
ing to the light that fell on them—fixed on
the far-off, sullen sea, she looked very
lovely; but her expression had changed.
The unexpected mobility of her face had
been one of its charms. Now, though
sweet and kind thoughts still glistened in
her liquid eyes, and at times curved her
lovely lips in a passing smile, or the reflec-
tion of deeper, sadder feelings flitted over
her face, as the shadow of a passing cloud
falls on a bright landscape, the brilliant,
saucy glances that once made her sweet face
so bewitching, so irresistibly fascinating,
had gone seemingly forever. Her move-
ments even were slower than they used to
be. She had told her father only this
morning that she had suddenly become ten
years older. Sometimes when Bryant asked
Jeer how soon she expected a letter
from Michael her short answers rows -
ed his curiosity, and he foiled it so
difficult to avoid a falsehood that she was
glad to escape as soon as she oduld to her
favorite haunt, the little lonely bay. Ruth
loved to come here at ebb -tide. She noel
sat on the shingle 'thit afternoon watching
the dull, sad -colored. water, and listening
tq its ever -lessening moan, watching the dip
of the sea -gull's wing, till the dreary mon.

words of her father's had caused.
Be had. been telling her how he longed
for a grandchild—another little Ruth; "the
picture of yourself, though there can never
be again such another little maid," he
added.
While he spoke the blood flew to Ruth'a
milk white skin in angry protest, dyeing
the fair face till it even showed on her
temples and among her hair. She snatched

A little boy stood beside her, it delicately

De look I There's 4 Romper coming round
now."
Ruth looked where he pointed.
Coming round a white mass of rook, al-
most tall enough to be called a cliff, that
made the boundary of her little bay, she
saw Reginald Bevington. Her first impulse
was to take flight as 4 refuge from the in.
'Waft longing she felt to see him, and the
joy his mere presence gave her • but she
knew the thought wars idle. Before she
could possibly reach the meadow he Would
be beside her, She hesitated a moment as
to whether he should send Watty away or
keep him beside her, but reflection quickly
warned her that the child would certainly
tell his Aurae all that he heard, and she did
not put much confidence in Mr. Bevington's
selfoontrol She felt sure he would reproach
her for her marriage. She must take care
of her own reputation in Dolmouth.
"Ye had better go home, dear Watty,"
she said. "My father will be looking for
me, and I expect your nurse is waiting tea
for you. Run away home, darling, and ask
your uncle if you may come and have tea
with us to-rnorrow."
Meanwhile Mr. Bevington was coming
very slowly forward, picking his way over
the fallen masses of rock that added to the
natural barrier at the angle of the semi-
circle. Watty lingered ; he was anxious to
get a nearer view of the new arrival, a
strange gentleman being me at Dolmouth.
Ruth abruptly rose; she took the child's
tiny hand and led him up to the top of the
beach.
"I don't know," he said; "you are go-
ing to be my wife ; you said 'yes' when I
asked you. Well, then, you can read,
can't youl A husband and a wife needn't
both read you know."- • Be looked trium-
phant, and then darted away from her on
to the wet sand and came back with a spray
of dried seaweed and held it out to her.
"But, Watty," she said, when she had
kissed him for his present, "I might be ill,
like your papa, and then I should want you
to read 'to me."
He looked perplexed and stood lost in
thought; then he burst out eagerly; "I
know, I'll tell you; don't never be ill—
that'll be the best way."
He put his arm round her neck, and she
fondled the delicate hand and kissed the
child's warm, flushed cheeks.
"Yon are a darling," she said ; "you
must come and see my father one of these
days. Ask your uncle if you may come."
"Why, of course I may. Why didn't
you ask me sooner? You live in a cottage,
so you must be a villager; I know I may
go and see villagers."
Be flushed when he saw that she was
laughing,
"I don't think you are the same as the
other villagers you are a lady, and of
course your papa is a gentleman; but you
must be villagers if you live in the village,
mustn't you?"
Rath did not answer; she sat wondering
whether she and her father should Hee on
for years in this quiet, lonely place, buried
alive, as it were, from every one they had
ever known. She had heard more than
once from her aunt and from her cousin
Peggy, but she had not answered their
letters, which had been forwarded to her
from Appledore. The girl had often wished
to write to Sally Voce to inquire what was
happening at the old place, but she felt too
much ashamed of her present position to
run the risk of exposing it to Sally, She
knew how inquisitive the Woman was, and
she might take it iato her head to come
over if this opening were given her.
"Why do you come here, dear?" The
small cranked voice roused Ruth from a
reverie. "Why don't you go to the big
beach round the point?" he nodded toward
the tight mid of the bay; "it's more, mut-
ing there, and you'd see Tom and Joe;
they're always on that beach when they
don't go out fishing. Nobody never comes
here."
"That's why I like it darling. like to
have you etcl the sea all to myself."
Walter stood thinking; his ready wit
for once had failed him, At last he burst

REATLY SHOCKED.
A Dodge that Challenges Admire non for
Ds Ingenuity.
The dodges resorted to . by travelling
fakirs are many and Ingenious, One of the
cleverest is recorded by a London paper,
and challenges admiration for its in-
genuity, though the well-known aversion o
elephants to mice might, perhaps, be taken
as explaining the mystery of the animal's
behavior.
The proprietor of a travelling circus an-
nounced. that on a certain night a trained
elephant would play the "Russian Hymn"
on a piano with its trunk. When the
evening came, the circus was crowded to
the roof with an expectant public.
After some of the usual performances had
been gone through, four men brought in an
upright piano, which they placed in the
centre a the arena. Then the elephant
was led in. Be walked slowly three times
around the ring, and then, amid the keen-
est excitement, advanced to the piano.
With a slight movement of his trunk he
opened the keyboard, butt scarcely had he
done so when a sudden change mune over
his appearance. His eyes dilated with fear
and rage, he litted his trunk in the air, and
then with a wild scream of terror he rushed
out of the arena.
The proprietor of the circus and the
elephant's keeper held a short and hurried
consultation, and then they too left the
ring,
After a few moments the circus proprie-
tor entered again, and announced with
regret that the performance could not take
place. The fact was, he said, that the
elephant had recognized in the keyboard of
the instrument a portion of the tusks of his
long. -lost mother, who had fallen a prey to
the ivory -hunters of Africa.

Besides that, it wrinkles and tumbles, in

ance,
Nobody recommends linen for body wear.
Its firm texture and hard surface make it -
wholly non-absorbent ; it allows the body
to become chilled by refusing the peropira-
tion, and so has been known to bring on
serious illnesa. For outside wear in sum-
mer, linen may be tolerated as clothing,
but nowhere else. Where, however, it is
at its most useful and best, is in house-
hold uses. For table service, for the toilet,
and for minor ornamental details, it ia
simply invaluable; its smoothness of text-
ure, its brilliancy, which laundering even
increases, its exquisite freshness, makes it
the one fabric fit to drape the dining -table
and to use in the toilet, while its suitability
for needle -work decoration, makes it ad-
mirable for all kinds of fancy work. And
here it is rightfully used; but to wear next
to the skin and sleep in—no.
End of the unhappy Charlotte or Mexico
Expected in a Short Time,
It was a melancholy day for the members
of the royal family of Belgium on June 7,
when they made their annual official pil-
grimage to the Chateau de Bouchout, near
the village of Meysse, to present their
"best wishes" to the unhappy Charlotte,
ex -Empress of Mexico. It was the fifty-
fourth anniversary of her birth. Her
condition since that day, too, has continued
to grow worse, so that it is believed the
princess is soon to be relieved by death of
her sufferings.
Until a short time ago she had at least
moments when she appeared to be herself
and understood, in part, at least, what was
said to her. These moments came most
frequently in [lee presence of her sister-in-
law, the Queen, for whom she always mani-
fested a deep love, Few persons are
allowed near her, in fact, as the presence of
one whom she does not like or who is
unknown to her always makes her tremble,
and thus increases her sufferings. But she
had always welcomed the Queen, whose
presence had a soothing effect on her.
But when Her Majesty approached her
on the birthday anniversary mentioned the
ex -Empress looked on her with stony eyes,
from which no ray of intelligence flashed.
Even the announcement a few days ago
that her favorite neice, Princess Josephine,
had been married, had no effect whatever
uponher—did not realize the meaning of the
words spoken. UAW recently she played
daily npon her piano, arid her improvis-
ations at times were beautiful—the fancies
of a mad brain. But now she has no

Curling Hair. -
Now that waved hair is worn so much a
great many women ate dependent upon
curling irons for the waves that are so de-
sirable. This is the way a hair dresser
waves the hair on each side of the fashion-
able parting: In the first :place she uses
very large irons. The hair on each side of
the parting is divided, each division is
combed, then wrapped. about the irons and
held for a minute. The hair is wrapped
upward toward the parting. This gives a
more graceful ripple. The hair near the
ears is waved backward. The hair is not
combed. out until the heat has entirely left
Should the hair not commence its wav-
ing near enough to the parting, the iron is
run under, and, clamping it, rolls it up-
ward. This gives .the spring from the
parting that is so sought after. The hair
t in the back is waved after the same man-
ner. If the face is long and thin, never
let the back hair "sag," but pull it firmly
into the knot.
A Hudson Bay Post.
Life at a Hudson Bay poet, far from a
railway, may seem a very quiet and unin-
teresting one to dwellers in busy towns;
but quiet as it is, the particular post in the
district is the centre of all life e.ndanirnation
or all white men, half-breeds, and Indians
within a range of many miles. There they
come to hear the news and bring the back-
woods gossip. At any hour of the day one
or two Indians or half-breeds may be seen
listlessly hanging about the store or shop
smoking but talking little. Perhaps they
have come into buy something, perhaps they
want to sell some skins—or very likely they
are only loafing.
Often they come to see the manager sine'
ply in the hope of getting an Advance of
money or of stores oncredit, previous to go-
ing on a prolonged hunting trip, when, if re-
fused the first time, they will hang about
for days, persistently and petulantly return-
ing to the charge. But this advance is often
allowed, repayment being takett when the
furs come in in the eprieg.
Tice Indiana look upon the managot of a
Hudson Bay post 'very much in the light of
a father; and if he is a good-hearted fellow,
as he meetly is, be in turn comes to regard
i
them almost n the light of his children, anti
Ito know the characteristics of each of them.
Beet, like a father with his children, he
knows what is good for them, and often it
many ways has to deny them to protect
them against themselves.

A Cure For Sunburn.
If you have been badly sunburnt just
as soon as you can procure it apply to the
burned parts a thick coating of white vase -
line, which let remain for ten minutes or
more; then rub it off by applying a soft
dry cloth gently,; have a bowl of very hot
water brought to you and a big linen
towel. Dip the towel in the water, which
must be hot enough to steam, and a.lmoot
bury your face in it but do not touch the
skin with it for some time; you should
steam your face this way for fifteen minutes,
and by that time every drop of blood in your
body will seem to be in your face. . Then
call for more hot water and apply it in slow,
gentle fashion to the akin for fifteen minutes.
Then -put on a coating of the vaseline and
lie down for half an hour; when you get up
you will be fresh as a daisy and your face
will not trouble you in the least. Of course
the length of time for treatment will depend
upon how badly you are burned. But an
hour ought to fix you up all right. Apply
vaseline again on retiring.
Definition of a Lady.
A lady is a woman who is honorable,
truthful, and refined; who regards the com-
fort of others first; who never forgets how
important are little courtesies to the happi-
ness of life; who is loyal to her friends,and
never betrays a trust; who scorns to think
a mean thought, or speak a mean word, or
perform a mean act; who reverences age,
protects weakness, and maintains her own
womanly self-respect.
ln European countries the title is goner.
ally canfineci to women who belong to the
nobility and gentry. In this country it
justly belongs to every woman, young or
old, rich or poor, beautiful or plain, who
possesses the qualifications we have named,
and the term should not be made meaning-
less by indiscriminate or unthinking use.
Souvenir Pillows.
The craze for souvenir pillows is super-
seding that of souvenir spoons. They are
all shapes, sizes and materials, from ging-
ham to costly brocade, and they must have
a meaning. One young woman has sofa
pillows made from pieces of each dress- of
her wedding trousseau. A romantic matron
shows one made from the dress which she
wore on her first meeting with her " liege
lord ;" another of the gown worn when he
asked the all important question; a. third
from a piece of her wedding - dress ; and
sweetest of all, from baby's christening
robe.
Brushing the Teeth.
The proper way to brush and clean the
teeth is to brush from the gums downward,
for the upper teeth, and from the gums
upward, for the inferior or lower teeth. It
is not leas important to brush downward
on the palatine -roof surface of the upper
teeth, and upward an the lingual -tongue
side ot the lower teeth ; that is to say,
brush the inside of the teeth as carefully as
the outside.
