THE CLEVER WIDO
CHAPTER V.
A NAVAT,.. CIONWES:e.
It Was the habit of the doctor and the
Admiral to aceompany each other upon a
morning ramble, between breakfast end
luuoh, The dwellers in those quiet, tree
-
lined reads were acoustomed to see the two
iigutee—the long, thin, austere seaman,
and the short, bustling, tweedolad physi-
clan—parte and repaset with such regularity
that a stepped, clot& has been roast by
them. The Admiral took two steps to hie
oompenionis three, but the younger man
was the quicker, and both were equal to a
good four and a half miles an hour.
It waa a lovely Summer day whioh
followed the events which have been de-
scribed. The sky was of the deepest
blue, with a few white, fleecy clouds drift-
ing lazily across it, and the air was
filled with the low drone of insects or
with a sudden sharper note as bee or
bluefly shot peat with its quivering, long.
drawn hum like an insect tuning fork.
As the friends topped each rise which leads
up to the Crystal Palace they could see the
dun Monde of London stretching along the
northern sky.line, with spire or dome
breaking through the towdying haze. The
Admiral was in high spirits, for the morn-
ing post had brought goodnews to his son.
"1t is wonderful, Welker," he was say-
ing, "positively wonderful, the way that
boy of mine has gone ahead during the last
three years. We heard front Pearson to-
day. Pee.raon is the senior partner, you
know, ad my boy the junior—Pearson &
Denver the firm. Cunning old dog hi Pear-
son, as cute and as greedy sa a Rio shark.
Yet he goes off for a fortnight's leave and
puts my boy in full charge with all that
immense business in his hands, and a free
hand to do what he likes with it. How's
that for confidence, and he only three years
upon 'Change1"
"Any one would confide in him. His
face is a surety," said the doctor.
"Go on, Walker." The Admiral dug
his elbew at him. "You know my weak
side. Still it's tenth all the same. I've
been blessed with a good wife and a good
son, and maybe I relish them the more
for having been cut off from them 80 long.
I have ranch to be thankful for."
" And so have 1. The best two girla that
ever stepped. There's Clara, who has
learned up as much medicine as would
give her the L. S. A., simply in order that
she may sympathize with me in my work.
But halloo 1 what is this coming along?"
" All drawing and the wind astern I"
cried the Admiral. "Fourteen knots if it's
one. Why, by George, it is that woman 1"
A rolling cloud of yellow dust had
streamed around the curve of the road, and
from the heart of it had emerged a high
tandem tricycle flying along at a break-
neck pace. In front sat Mrs. Westmacott
clad in a heather tweed peajacket, a skirt
which just passed her knees, and a pair of
thick gaiters of the same material. She
bad a great, bundle of red papers under her
arm, while Charles, who eat behind her,
clad in Norfolk jacket and knickerbockers,
bore a similar roll protruding from either
pocket. Even as they watched the pair
eased up, the lady sprang off, impaled one
of her bills upon the garden railing of an
empty house, and then jumping on to her
seat agaim was about to hurry onward
when her nephew drew her attention to
the two gentlemen upon the footpath.
"Oh, now, really I didn't notice you,"
eaid she, taking a few turns of the treadle
and steering the Machine across to them.
"Is it not a beautiful morning ?"
"Lovely," answered the Doceor. " You
seem to be very busy."
"I am very busy." She pointed to the
colored paper which still fluttered from the
railing. "We have been pushing our prop-
aganda, you see. Charles and I have been
at it since 7 o'clock. It is about our meet-
ing. I wish ie to be a great success. See I"
She smoothed out one of the bills and the
doctor read his own name in great black
letters across the bottom.
"We don't forget our chairman, you see.
Everybody is coming. Those two dear old
maids opposite, the Williamses, held out for
some time, bub I have their promise now.
Admiral, I am sure that you wish us well."
"Hum ! I wish you no harm, ma'am."
"You will come on the platform?"
"I'll be— No, I don't think I can do
that,"
" To our meeting, then ?"
"No, ma'am ; I don't go out after din-
ner."
"011 yes, you will come, I will call in
if I may, and chat it over with you when
you come home. We have not breakfaeted
yet. Good.bye." There was a whir of
wheels, and the yellow aloud rolled away
down the road again. By some legerdemain
the Admiral found that he was clutohing
in his right hand one of the obnoxious
bills. He crumpled it up and threw it into
the roadway.
"I'll be hanged it I go, Walker," said
he, as he reeumed his walk, " I've never
been hustled into doing a thing yet, wheth-
er by woman or man."
"1 am not a. betting man," answered
the 'doctor, " but I rather think that the
odds are in favor of your going."
The Admiral had hardly got home, and
had just seated himself in his dining -room,
when the attack upon him was renewed.
He was slowly and lovingly unfolding the
Times, preparatory to the long read which
led up to luncheon, and had even got so
fer as to fasten his golden pinceosez on to
his thin high-brid,ged nose, when he heard
a crunching of gravel, and looking aver the
top of his paper, aaw 'Mrs. Westmscott
cdining up the garden -walk. She was
still dewed in the dopier costume

notions of ptopriety, but he could not
deny, Ps he looked at her,that she was a very
fine woman. In many clime t he had looked
upon women of all shades and ages, but
never upon a more clear-cut, handsome
fade, nor a more erect), supple and womanly
figure. He ceased to glower as he gazed
upon her, and the frown smoothed away
from his rugged brow.

feel like an invader in an enemy's camp."
"It is a very welcome invasion, ma am,"
toad he, clearing his throat and pulling at
his high collat. "Try this garden chair.
What is there that I can do for you? Shall
I ring and leb Mrs, Denver know that you
are here 2" .
"Pray do not trouble, Admiral. I only
looked in with reference to our little chat
this morning. I wish that you would give
us pear powerful support at our coming
meetieg for the improvement of the condi-
tion of woman."
"No ma'am I can't do that," He pureed
up hi a lips and shook his grizzled head,
"And why Dot ?"
" Against my principles, tria'arra"
''131111 why t"
TIE TBR: .
" Beeetise woman has her duties and
IMan has his. I inay be old-fashioued, hut
that is my view. Why, whet is the world
coming to? 1 was saying to Doctor Welker
only last night that we alioll have lt

(1)811 wauting to comunuad the Chat:sue/
Fleet next.'" ,
"That is oue of the few, profeesions
whioh oatmot be improved,' said Mrs,
Weatinacoet, with her sweetest Birdie.
"Poor woman must 4t11l 1QCOlt to man for
protection."
"1 don? 11 like thee new-fangled ideas,
ma'am. I tell you honestly that I don't,
like discipline,. and I think every one
is the better for it. Women have got a
great deal which they had not in the daya
of our fathers. They have, nisiversities all
for themselves, I am told, and there are
women doctors, 1 hear. • Surely they should
rest contented. What more met they
want ?"
"You are a sailor, and sailors are always
chivalrone. If yna could see how things
really are you would change your opinion.
What are the poor things to do? There
are so many of them and so few of things
to which they tutu turn their hands.
Governesses? But there are hardly any
situations. Music, and drawing? There is
not one in fifty who hart any special talent
in that direction. Medicine ? It is still
surrounded with difficulties for women,and
it takes many years and a small fortune to
qualify. Nursing ? It is hard work ill
paid, and, nose but the atrongest can stand
it. What would you have them do then,
Admiral? Sit down and starve ?"
"Tut, tat 1 111 18 not so bad as that."
"The -pressure is terrible. Advertise
for a lady companion at ten shillings a
week, which is less thou a cook's wages
and see how many answers you get. There
is no hope, no outlook for those struggling
thousands. Life is a dull, sordid struggle
leading down to a cheerless old age. Yet,
when we try to bring some little ray of
hope, some chance, however, distant., of
something better, we are told by chivalrous
gentlemen that it is against their principles
to help."
The Admiral winced, but shook his head
in dissent.
"There are banking, the law, veterinary
surgery, government offices, the civil ser-
vicem.all these at least should be thrown
freely open to women, if they have brains
enough to compete successfully for them.
Then if woman were unsuccessful it would
be her own fault, and the majority of the
population of this country could no longer
complain that they live under a different
law to the minority, and that they are held
down in poverty and serfdom, with every
road to independence sealed to them."
"What would you propose to do,
ma'am?"
"To set the more obvious injustices right,
and so to pave the way for a reform. Now,
look at thatman digging inthe field. I know
him. He can neither read nor write. He le
steeped in whiskey, and he has as much
intelligence as the potatoes he is digging.
Yet ths man has a vote, can possibly turn
the scale of an election and may help to de.
cide the policy of this empire. Now, to
take the nearest example, here ami, a wo-
man who has had some education, who
has travelled, and Who has aeeu and
studied the institutions of many coun-
tries. I hold considerable property, and
I pay more in imperial taxes then that
man spends in whiskey, which is saying a
great deal, and yet I have no more direct
influence upon the disposal of the money
which I pay than bhat fly which creeps
along the wall. Is that right? is it fairV'
The admiral moved uneasily in his
chair. " Yours is an exceptional case,"
said he.
"Bub no woman has a voice. Consider
that the women are a majority in the
nation. Yet if there was a question of
legislation upon whioh all women were
agreed upon one side and all the men upon
the other, it would appear that the mat-
ter was settled unanimously when more
than half the population were opposed to
it. Is that right?"
Again the admiral wriggled. 16 was
very awkward for the gallant seaman to
have a handsome woman opposite to him
bombarding him with questions to none of
which he could find an answer. "Couldn't
even get the tompions out of his guns," as
he explained the matter to the doetor that
evening.
" Now those are really the points that
aa shall lay stress upon at the meet-
ing. The free and complete openinmof the
professions, the final abolition of the zena-
na, I call inand the franohiee to all women
who pay Queen's taxes above a certain sum.
Surely there is nothing unreasonabla in
that. Nothing which could offend your
principles. We shall have medicine 'avv,
and the church all rallying that night for
the protection of woman. Is the navy to
be the one profession absent ?"
The admiral jumped out of his chair
with an evil word in his throat. "There,
there, ma'am 1" he cried. "Drop it for a
time. I have heard enough. You've
turned me a point or two. I won't deny
it. But let it stand at that, I will think
it over."
"Certainly, admiral. We would not
hurry you in your decision. But we still
hope to see you on our platform." She
rose and moved about in her lounging,
masculine fashion from one picture to
another, for the walls were thickly covered
with reminiscences of the admiral's
voyages.
"Halloo!" said she. "Surely this ship
would have furled all her lowed canvas and
reefed her topsails if she found herself on a
lee shore with the wind 011 her quarter."
"Of course she would. The artist was
never past Gravesend, I swear. it's the
'Penelope,' as she wail on the 1411h of June,
1857, in the throat of the Straits of Bantle,
with the Island of Benoit on the starboard
bow and Sumatra on the port. He painted
it from description, but, of course; as you
very eensibly say, all was snug below and
sho carried storm -sails and double.'reefed
topsails, for it was blowing a cyclone from
the eou'east. I compliment you, ma'am, I
do indeed 1"
"Oh,i have done a little sailoring myself

"Lovely, you say I Ali, she was lovely!
That is the 'Andromeda.' I was a mate
aboard of her—sub.lientenant they call it
now though I like the old name best."
"What a lovely rake her masts have,
and what a curve to her bows I She must
have been a chow."
The old sailor rubbed h1 ha,nds and his
eyes glistened. His old ship bordered close
upon his wife mid son in his affections.

CH A.PTER VI.
AN 01,11 STORY.
But this was not to be the only eventful
converea.tion which Mrs, Westmacott held
that day, nor was the admiral the only
person in the Wilderness who was destined
to find his opinions considerably changed.
Two neighboring families—the Winslows
from Anerley, and the Cumberbatches from
Fenn Hill—had been invited to tenni e by
Mrs. Westmaoott, and the lawn was gay in
the evening with the blazers of the young
men and the bright dresses of the girls.
To the older people, sitting round in their
wicker -work garden chairs, the darting,
stooping, springing, white figures, the
sweep of skirts and twinkle of canvas shoes,
the click of the rackets and sharp whiz of
the balls, with the continual "fift eeit love
—fifteen all!" of the marker, made up a
merry aud exhilarating scene. To seb their
sons and daughters so flushed and healthy
and happy gave them also a reflected glow,
and it W8E4 hard to say who had most
pleasure from the game, those who played
or those who watched.
Mrs. Westmacott had just finished a set
when she caught a glimpse of Clara Walker
sitting alone at the further end of the
ground. She ran down the court, cleared
the net, to the amazement of the visitors,
and seated herself beside her. Clara's
reserved and refined nature shrunk some-
what from the boisterous frankness and
strange manners of the widow, and. yet her
feminine instinct told her that beneath all
her peculiarities there lay much that was
good and noble. She smiled up at her,
therefore, and nodded a greeting.
"Why aren't you playing, then? Don't,
for goodness' sake, begin to be languid and
young.ladyish ! When you give up active
sports you give up youth."
" I have played a set, Mrs. Westina-
cat."
" That's right, my dear." She sat down
beside her, and tapped her upon the arm
with her tennis racket, " I like you, my
dear, and I am going to call you Clara.
You are not as aggressive as 'should wish,
Clara, but still I like you very much. Self-
sacrifice is all very well, you know, but we
have had rather too mtunn of it oil our side,
and should like to see a little of it on the
other. What do you think of my nephew,
Charles ?" .
The question was so sudden and unex-
pected, that Clara gave quite a jump in her
chair. "1-1-1 hardly ever have thought
of your nephew Charles."
" No ? Oh, you must think him well
over, for I want to speak to you about
him."
"To me? But why ?"
"It seemed to me most delicate. You
see, Clara, the matter stands in this way.
It is quite possible that I may soon find
myself in a completely new sphere of life,
which will involve fresh duties and make it
impossible for me to keep up a household
which Charles can share." .,
Clara stared. Did this mean that she
was about to marry again? What else
could it point to? ,
"Therefore, Charles must have a house-
hold of her own. That is obvious. Now,
I don't approve ot bachelor establishments.
Do you?'
"Really, Mrs. Westmacott, I have never
thought of the matter."
"Oh, you little sly,pues ! Wairthere ever
a girl who never thought of the matter ?
I think that a young man of six -and -twenty
ought to be married."
Clara felt very uncomfortable. The
awful thought had come upon her that this
embassadress had come to her as a proxy
with a propoeal of marriage. But how
could that be? She had not spoken more
than three or four times with her nephew,
ancrknew nothing more of him than he had
told her on the evening before. It was im-
possible, then. And yet what could hie
aunt mean by this discussion of hie
private affairs?
"Do you not think yourself," she per-
eisted, "that a young man of six -and -
twenty is better married 2'
"1 should think that he is old enough
to decide for himself."
" Yea yes. He has done so. But Charl s
is just a:little shy, just a little slow i
expressing hirozelf. I thought that '
would pave the way for him. Two women
can arrange these thinge so much better.
Men sometitnes have a difficulty in making
themselves clear." •
" I really hardly follow you, Mrs. West.
macott," cried Clara in despair.
"He has no profeseion. But he has nice
tastes. He reads Broivning every night.
And he is most amazingly etrong. When
he wasyminger we used Co put on the
gloves angether but I cannot persuadmhim
to now, for he sari he cannot play light
enough. I should allow him five hundred,
which should be enough at first."
"My dear Mr, Westmacotn" cried
Clara, ' I assure you that 1 have not the
least idea what it is that you are talking
of."
"1)o you think your sister Ida would
have my nephew Charles ?"
" Her sister Ida I Quite a little thrill, of
relief and of pleasure ran through her at

That the way to a man's heart is through

n the marriage of Millionaire John D.

Aristocratic Boston stood aghast when it
heard that the records of the registrar of
marriages and birth e in the old courthouse
showed the following entry :
John D. Bates, aged GO, no business.

Mary Larkin is an Irish girl, though
born in England. It was from the sunny
vales of England that she came to America
to seek employment as a cook and Mr,
Bates being in need of a female chef about
that time employed her. That her culinary
abilities were all that he at, least desired,is
proved in that her reign spread from the
kitohen to the parlors and over the heart
of the millionaire employer. Mrs. Bates

MRS. JAMES MoRITCHIE AND DAUGHTER. -
A leading local physician, whose
profession takes him among the chil-
dren of the various public institutions,
remarked to the 'writer, that one
would hardly believe that so many
children were affected by nervous
troubles, which sap the system and
prevent proper development. In
many cases the doctors are powerless
to cure these troubles. They can
relieve the suffering little ones, but in
South American Nervine we have a
medicine that does more than simply
give relief. Its peculiar strength is
that it completely cures where physi-
cians relieve. A case in point came to
as the 24th ult., in a letter from Mr.
James W. McRitchie of Bothwell,
Ont. He says :--"My daughter
Maggie, aged 9 years, Was afflicted
with nervous fainting spells for over
a year, which left her in such v. con-
dition of weakness afterwards that
the child was practically an invalid.
We tried several remedies and doctor-
ed with her in one way and another,
but nothing gave relief, Seeing South
American Nervine advertised, a.s par-
ticularly efficacious in nervous diu.
eases, I decided on trying it for bar,
and 1 must say that I noticed a decided
change in my daughter for the better
after she had taken only a few doses.
As a result of using this medioine, she
is now entirely free from those faint-
ing spells and possessed of that life
and brightness that is the, happy lot
of childhood. I am satisfied it is an
excellent medicine for any nervous
weakness. My experience has been •
further supplemented in the fact that -
my wife has also been using South
American Nervine for indigestion, .
dyspepsia and nervous prostration,
and has found very great relief."
Whether the patient be man or
woman, young or old, South American
Nervine provides a complete medium
for restoration to health. It is a
medicine differing absolut na
every other. A cure is ef1lby,
application to the nerve centres of the
human system, and soience has proved
that when these nerve centres are
kept healthy the whole body is healthy.'
For these reasons failure is inipose.,
ible.
