CHAPTER VII. .
It was a, source of great disappoint -
meet to widow Wanklyn when she got
down to the drawina,roona the day her
sister-in-law and nieces arrived from
London, that she found Jr, Stanley
Baylese had • left a message of apology
and regret with the servant, and gone
away.
The truth wise, lie had expected to
find the widow alone, and had deter-
mined that very evening to bring mat-
teee to a erisis, awl ask her, in sueh
terms as opportunity and his 01,471 wit
might suggest, to be his wife. It was,

Mrs. Wanklyn had visitors, who were
not only to stay for dinner,. but for a
time, the limit of which tile servant did
/ea know.

where that a man. Ought to walk four

Heaven much it was lucky, for his
onyere were not fervent enough to as -
mud beyond 'the church's roof, He
had the wisdom of a fool, when a fool
is wise, not the folly of a, wise- man. If
a man struck him, he would walk calm-
ly to the poiice-offiee and state his com-
plaint. It ne found a traveler by the
wayside who had leen badly used by
thieves, lie would walk =laity to the
poliee-office with the news.
Among the men, he knew there was
a,, general belief that a good kicking
might do him good. But, out of all Ins
acquaintance% there was not one ma,n
who felt sufficient interest, in him to
try the 'experiment. He never offended
any one, mei no one ever offended him.
Even. rude women were aiot rude to
him. He was the chapinan of small
scandals in \Valeria* and Leamington,
and yet his talk was looked on as ham -
lees ; for, although he could thrust the
fang of fact into the flesh, he had not
force enough to squeeze the vernom in-
to 1 he wound. He had. not courage
enough to fear danger, nor was be
coward enough to be exalted by despair.
No place in this world seemed to suit
him exactly, and whe,n those who were
weary of hem thoughtte had better seek
e.uother, they could never exactly de-
termine the region in which he would
find a fitting home there.
Now Mr. teanley Bayless% had the re-
putation of being very rich, and he was
not. He had a few hundred pounds,
the last of a small fortune left him by
his maternal grandmother, and upon
this money and the hope of being able
to marry a woman of means he was
now living. He had never told any one
he was rich, but he had led people to
suppose he was, He rarely spoke of his
financial affairs, but when he did it
was always in a vague and general way,
as though he himself had no very clear
notion of what his position was. He
spoke of his man of business, the 'man
who looks after me, affairs,' 'my agent,'
'the man who advises me in all legal
matters,' mei so on. But whether these
were all one and the same man, .or sev-
eral men, no one knew for certain.
For some tune he had been ind
ing the hope that the widow Wanklyn
would fall to his het. True, she was
not as young as she had been five -and -
twenty years ago, but then, like every
other woman, she was very nice, and
had a most comfortable income. He
did not want youth or beauty; but he
liked good. clothes and the other ususal
attendants on a competency.
'Mrs. Wanklyn had made up her mind
that her niece Louisa should marry this
man, and thereby. not only prevent the
folly of the. girl mating herself with
poverty, but at the same tinae be pro-
vided with an irreproachable husband
with an irreproachable income. For
her own. part she had never the least
intention of marrying this man or any
other; and it is more than likely that
if she had any thought of changing her
etate and laying aside her widow's cap,
she would have chosen a man of much
more robust and ungenteel manners and
tastes. Tip to this time he had served
her purpose, and run of errands and
brought her gossip, but now she was re-
solved to put him to more important
use, and make him solve theadifficulty
which had arisen in the Starner family.
A.11 throughout dinner and all
throughout that evening, Mrs. Wank -
en did little else than expatiate on the
solid merits of Mr. Baerleess. .He was so
good, so amiable, so gentle, so amusing,
so useful, so well off, that Mrs. Wank-
yn thought any girl who might have
he good fortune to get him for a hus-
and would be the envy of every other
iri who knew him.
He was exactly the kind of young man
o make a girl happy ; for, while he was
free from alt the weaknesses that blem-
ish youth, he possessed all the qualities.
which could win the affection of a young
an.d lovietg heart. He would never cause
a. wife a moment's unea,siness, and he
would be her. slave. There was no man'
more careful or thoughtful -about ladies.
He was old enough, too, for marriage;
not like a silly boy of five -and -twenty,
who did not know hes own mind five
minutes, and. fell in love with apretty
face wheti he saw it, and renaaaned iri
love with- it until the .next pretty face
came his vray. '
No girl of any sense would think of
marrying a man under thirty; for, until
that age, the character of a men was
not formed.No matter how amiable
and good a 'tha,n might be at twenty-
five, there was nothing but time could
tell that he would not .be a demon at
thirty. But owe a man had passed out
of the twenties, his iclisposition was
finally farmed.
That night, before airs. Wanklyn
went to bed, she wrote a note to Stan,
ley Bayless, a.skiria him to came over
without fail for luncheon to-rnorrow.
When tho twa girls got to their room,
they sat down ta enjoy a Chat after the
ceaseless rattle of their aunt's tongue.

the widow into lunoheou.

with a smile.
Now, to the reeidents in Warwick and
Leamington Jephson's Gardens were not
only genteel but fine. To any Londoner
used to Clepham Common and the
Parks, the Gardens do not appear wor-
thy of partieular notice, and in the mid -
die of whiter they look rather dreary
and forlorn. There is no other place
so like the country as the romantic,
parts of the Loadon parks. Bat a fine
dee' anywhere among trees ci,nd shrubs,
when, one is young and el good bealth,
is better than a wet day anywhere
among bricks and mortar.
But a winter day does uot keep alight
long after luncheon; and in a short
time, just as tbe long gray winter twi-
light began to fall, Stanley Beyiess led
the two girls down to the railway -sta-
tion, got tickets for them, and took
them back to Warwiek.
When they got back to Mrs. Wank--
lyn's they found the owner alone in the
Ian ina-room. There was yet some
tune between then and dinner; and
after a few minutes Lizzie and a Loo
went to take off their hats. Thus, for
the second time that day, the widow
and the young man found themselves
alone together.
Mr, Stanley Bayless had no objection
to youth and beauty. He was a man
of modest desires. and did not ee-pect
to find youth, beauty, and a fortune
combined in a wife. But if youth,
Int3', and a fortune had came hie way,
ha would not have avoided them. Mrs
Wanklyn certainly had not youth or
beauty, but she had a fortune, and. he
valued the la.st more then the other
two. But, she had plainly announced
to him that very day that. she did not
intend to marry. If sae had said no
'
more ha would have tried for a short
, tune to break his heart over her, and
-7" he would have failed. But, when tell-
ing him she had resolved to remain
single, she had revealed to bine her
K heiress. Now this heiress had, any way,
e . eoutir and a fortune; that is, she pos-
sessed the youth now, and would pos-
s seas the fortune one deer in the future.
e He would have preferred the ready -
I money with the mature charms of the
11 widow, but that could not be. No one
; was ever better off after crying for
the moon; so he immediately resolved
not toebreak his heart aver the widow's
xesoluaion, but to try, insteed, if he
, could not win the widow's niece.
& 'Well,' said the widow, 'how did you.
. get on with the girls?'
'0, very well. indeed. They are most
, charming, most charming a

e • Yes, almost all the way, I may say/
'And you made frientle?' said the we-
, dow, with a radiant smile.
0 'Friends, yes—the very best of friends.
Look, she gave me ehise pointing to a
d sprig of 'myrtle in his button -hole.
- eou dreadful man, you have

exclaimed the delighted melt.
Mr. Stanley Bayless sinned as though

'Against what?' asked alra. Stainer

'0, generally,' said the widow vague
ly.
'Indeed, I hope so,' said Bayless, as
though he thought it would lie an ex-
cellent thing to warn her still more

When .luncheon was over tbe girls

Tha widow had not felt so happy for
a long time.
'The tall fair Miss Starner seemed out
of spirits, and spoke but very little.'
• 'And who on earth was it you, talked
with so much, and who gave you the
spray of myrtle?'
'The Miss Stainer who is dark, and is
not tall,' he answered, looking down
at her in surprise.
Mrs. Wanklyn rose and turned im-
patiently upon him. -
'Why, you have been making love to

'Ah, that is unfortunate. HadI not
better apoligize to her, and begin over
again with the other?'
'Hush! Here they are.'
(To 'Be Continued.)
'Isn't he dre,adfui?' said Mrs. Stainer,
holding up both her hands.
'And yet,' said Lizzie, 'I am greatly
afraid Loo is already half in love with
him, and I am sere by the time we
mane back from this walk it will be all
over with poor Loci '
'What I' cried Mrs. Starner, with un-
qualified disgust; fall in love with
him! I'd rather live all my life in a
garret with a man than sit behind the
carriage of such a creature as that.'
'But then, you know, he is so rich
and amiable,' said Lizzie maliciously.
She thought it better to provoke Loo
by any mesas than to let her brood.
in silence with her melancholy eyes
fixed on vacancy.
'I hate amiable men,' said Mrs. Sta-
iner hotly; 'and I don't think riches
are much of a recommendation in a
young man.' The mother rose, went
over to her younger daughter, and put-
ting her arm round her, said, There
now, Loo, don't mind hare
Loo had not seemed to mind her sis-
ter in the least. She had not uttered
or looked, a protest. The mother knew
this, and she knew that Loo hardly
heard the words uttered by Lizzie; but
she was not content with that. She
wanted her youngest daughter to
know that all her sympathy was with
the 03.1180 of young Aubyn.
In the mean time Mrs. Wanklyn and
Mr. Stanley Bayless were alone in the
dining -room.
'When I called last evening,' he said,
standing over the easy -chair in which
she lounged, 'it was in the hope of find-
ing you alone, as there was something
of great consequence I wished to speek
to you about. 'When may I have the
pleasure of a few minutes' conversation
with you?'
Ile looked tenderly at her, and sighed.
'Now, if you wish it.'
She knevv very well what he wanted
to say.
'Ah, yes,' he said but the ladies will
soon 13e down, and I Should not care
for an interruption once I had begun.'
He moved bas hands softly towards
her.
'Well, she said briskly,you must

HORRORS OF A MEXICAN PRISON.

In the trial, of his $50,000 damage suit
against the Mexican Central Railway
Company Herbert 13. Geier relates his
experiences in. a Mexican prison. The
trial is heard by Judge Neely. The suit
charges false imprisonment, his arrest
and incarceration batting been due to
a robbery committed ia the office of 'the
company ia the City of Mexico, where
he was employed in June, 1890. The rob-
bery occurred on the morning of June
17. On teat morning he arrived at
the raiheted office shortly before 8
o'cloek, and was inforrued that 8,000
had been stolen from the safe of the
payraaster during the nigbt. He and
seven other employes of the office were
locked in a room and he was compell-
ed to make a statement, giving an ac-
count of his movements. Later he was
taken to the prieon in tale center of
the eit,y, called "Belera," which is both
a jail and a penitentiary, On reaching
that place he was taken down several
flights of stairs and given into the
charge of a Mexican who, witb One
hand, held a buladoge by a chain, and
in the other had a club as large as a
baseball bat. This 1E04 pushed him in-
to a dangeon, whiclt he said he eould
not describe, for the reason that he saw
nothing of the interior. It was too dark
to see his nand before his face, but. he
was there for neari,y three hours, stand-
ing on a floor which was
SLIPPERY WITH SLIME,
He was then taken out of the dark
dungeon and played in a room, 5 feet
by 7, with a heavy wooden doorevlaich
was locked tiglit. The only other open-
ing was a small wiadow a foot from,
the ceiling. There was DO bed or an3r-
thing else tri the room, but he remained
there for .seventy-seven. hours. Each
morning he was in Oils room, the door
was opened by a Mexican, who pushed
a pan of gruel into the room and then
locked the doer again. At, on the door
was again opened and a piece of boiled
meat and a chunk of bread throe n in
upon tale floor, In the evening the door
again opened and a small pot of beams
was pushed in. That was the daily bill
of fare, with water, which was handed
in occasionally.
"Front the solitary cell," said Gehr,
"2 was taken to a larger room, in
which tbere were forty-five prisoners.
The room was 25 feet wide and. 45 feet
long, and had two email windows on
one side opening into a court in the ecu -
ler of the parasol). There was no fur-
niture and no bedding in the room,and
each man marked out a plaike upon the
floor where he slept. 1Ve lay on the
floor in rows. Many of the prisoners
were convicted felons, and in the orowd
were eight murderers, several thieves
and men convicted of every other
crime."
Gehr was in tbis place for fifty-five
days when he was released by order of
President Diaz, after the latter had re-

These central schools would have the ad-
vantages, as compared with the country
schools, of being graded and of having
superior apparatus and facilities. The
plan contemplates also the use of convey -
anew, at the public expense, for pupils
living at a distance from the schools.
Several townships in the State have ex-
perimented with the idea, and are pleas-
ed with it. They not only have better
schools, hub they find that there is ec-
onomy in centralization, the saving in
maintenance of school buildings and in
salaries of teachers nibre than balancing
the cost of transportation of children
The plan is not peouhar itt Pennsylvan-
ia. It has been adopted with good re-
sults in Connecticut towns a large area'
and small population, and has the warm
approval of the Board of Education of
that State.

Scott's Sarsaparilla his Salvation.
Nothing blights existence like the
knowledge that our appearance is re-
pellant to those with whom we come in
contact, nor as there any relief like that
of feeling that the disfiguring causes have
been removed. Says Mr. William Alger:
My face onone side was a mass of
blotches, some of which were constantly
full of matter. I run a bake shcrp doing
my own work, 15ut my face got so bad that,.
customers drifted away. Than I hired a
man and went to a doctor. He said my
blood was in a horrible condition. I sold
my business and moved to the city where
Scott's Sarsaparilla eves recommended, to
me. The first bottle did me much good,
and after taking five bottles my skin is as
clear as possible, and not a sign of my
previous disagurement I say Scott's
Sarsaparilla is the best blood medicine
going and am speaking from experience
Pimples, blotches, boils, ulcers and all
diseases arising from vital exhaustion
and impure blood are radically cured by
Scott's Sarsaparilla, a concentrated com-
pound of the finest medicines ever
known. Your ugist has it at $i, But
get Scott's. The kind that cures.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
Rejoice Together.
Nine Year Old Maggie McRitchie, a Victim of Chronic
Fainting Spells and Nervous Weakness, Completely Cured
by South American Nervine After all Other Efforts had
failed. The Mother, a Sufferer From Nervous Prostration
and Indigestion, Likewise Cured. Hear What the Thank.
iul Father Ras to Say,
MRS. JAMES MoRITOIFIE AND DAUGHUR
A leading local physician, whose
profession takes him among the chil-
dren of the various public institutione,
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
us the 24th ult., in a letier 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 a con-
dition of weakness afterwards that
the child was practically an invalid.
We tried several remedies ana doctor-
ed with her in one way and another,
but nothing gave relief. Seeing South
American Nervine advertised, as par -
Ocularly efficacious in nervous dim.
eases, 1 decided on trying it for ber,
and I 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 medicine, 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.

outstrips all ordinary pursuers. ' It is

They are of better class of horses titan
