This peleyer Mr. Blount attended to it ca,refully es it was ie his indolent, sel- fish nature to attend to anything tin- conneeted with his oNv11 personal inter- ests, sending his nephew to sehool, and from sehool to college, with the money intrusted to his ere, until the lad. had finiShed his education, and had come home at last, only to fall madly in love with his beautiful cousin.. Then it is hard to say what would have become of the handsome, restless fellow, had not a brother of Ins father's coine forward and obtained for him a commission in a Line regiment, a profession very Much suited to the young man's own tastes and inclinations This same relative, dying soon after, left his nephew two hundred a year— whereas, he might quite as easily have left him two thousand --I upon whiela, and his pay as lieutenant, Blackwood Craven found it exeessively difficult to get through his days and live respect- ably without incurring too numerous lie bilities. His attachment to Katherine Blount was the one ruling passion of his life. She was part of his existence, He wor- shiped the girl with blind idolatry, pouring out on her a generous wealth of love of which she was scarcely wor- thy. In his eyes, however, she was perfeetion, no flaw ever appearing to his stricken sight powerful enough to dim the faultlessness of his idol, while be ever dreamed fondly, unceasingly, of the time when this woman, who was to him a very goddess, should be his wife. His poverty was an insurmountable barrier in the present, it was true; but in -Hine, if she would only consent to wait a little -and something whis- pered to him that he was surely more to her than all the other men who thronged around her and basked in her sweet smiles -he would conquer for- tune bravely, and claire her honorably for his own. So he argued; and not all Katherine's chilling speeches or hasty frowns could entirely check the mad longing of his heart. At Limes, indeed, the utter hopelessl nese of his project would strike him- self, crumbling to atoms all his plea- sant castles in the air, when. heyeould make up his min.d to fly to the( utter- most parts of the earth, and so escape the fascinations of her presence - all which intentions were very wise and laudable so long as they lasted, which was psecisely until Miss Blount's ir- resistible, piquant, brilliant face smiled on him once more, when he would again fling to the winds all his settled dreams of flight, and, hugging closely the bright, deceptive present, refuse to look forward into the bitter future. Such scenes as that just described had become of late very frequent be- tween them -a warfare in which some- times one, sometimes the other, came off victorious. To -day, indeed, the game was in Miss Blount's small hands, however it might be to -morrow; and yet, somehow, in spite' of her tri- umph, the girl felt a certain heavy weight lying coldly upon her heart, as she closed. the library door and walked forward into the hall.. 'What can be the matter' with me'?' she asked herself, impatiently, pushing back her hair wearily from her fore- head. "Blaokwood's face is haunting ene, and I seem to have lost all long- ing for this ball I eves so ready to cry abut not five minutes ago. I want air, I suppose, to dispel nay fancies, so I shall just order my horse and go over to Harry Charteris to see 11 she cannot rouse me from this depression," having come to which de- cision, she gave her orders to a passing servant, and went slowly and listlessly u,p the stairs to exchange her morn- ing dress for her habit.. CST APTER 11. Harriet Charteris was lVfise Blount's only woman friend and adviser; and naturally she was as unlike Miss Blount both in disposition and appear- ance as it was possible for her to be. She was fair, of middle stature, lived about three miles from Blount Manor, ancl was possessed of considerable at- tractions, a handsome house, a hus- band, two channing sons, and as many admirers as any woman need care to count; she was "fast" she talked a Lit- tle slang, she was adored, by her hus- band, a.nd by at least a dozen of his male acquaintances, and she flirted a good cle,al, besides all which, as might have been expected, she huntecl- Yes, she actually hunted, not like most girls, who go to the meet simply to see the hounds throw off, and then ride innocently home again, but straight over hedges and ditches, at the very heels of the mem in the most disgracefully masculine mariner imag- inable. • Why, it was only the other day, that she actually got a fall jump- ing over a high wall, tore her habit to ,pieces, and had every man in the field about her in less than; two minutes, when, instead of being heartily ashrun- ed of herself, and going home directly to her poor little neglected babies, she must neede mount her horse again and come in second tit the "finish." Indeed, the feeling among her own. sex had been strengthening day by day against pretty, lighthearted ISIrs Charteris ever since her husband had first brought her home to his hand- some residence, and Matters might have enme to a decisive, climax had not the all-powerful Duchess of Alwyn been so struele by her prOwess in the hunting field as to demand an intro- duction immediately, taking particu- lar care to be civil to her ever After- ward both at home and tibroad. Lady Floretice followed in her moth - wee footsteps, and declared her to be "of all weinen the most charming don't yoto know," while the duke himself who was rather it "rough eftstamer," Alia devoted to "pluck" of all kinds, gave it ae his own private opinion that the woman Who eould take 'that last fence" so gallaetly "must be a trump air, begadf and genie to no end," with varions other rvoramendations to the True Love same efceat, nloro forniblo, perhaps, than elegent, • This aristooratie interyentiOn turued the tide in Kee.

Not that she ever did anything to (muse this unre- lenting animosity, beyond dreSSing better and leeking loveliet and gaining more admiration iu it day than her neighbors could ever bope to receive itt their lives; but then what woman eau ever forgive any of these three things? Certainly s. Cher tete' neghbors were unfriendly to the last uegree, which was p.erhaps the primary calm of the great friendship subsisting be- tween her and KM horine Blount. Charlie Charterie, her husband, was a confirmed hookworm- a naturalist - and spent most of els Lime in a little "den" of his own, littered peetty, near- ly from floor to ceiling with dried ferns, wingless insects, obnoxious rep- ' Here he spent the greater part of hie day, and here his wife - whose favor- ite resort it was, and who had admis- tiles and torn, tattered parchments. skin at all hours - seatea on the top of some of his ehoicest papers, seemed to shed beauty and warmth around the silent, preoccupied man to whom she was as a bright sunbeam, and who possessed, whole and entire, htheearteep affection. of her warm, pure Snell was Katherine Blount's chosen friend, and to Castle Park it was that she wended her way, riding slowly and meditatively through the green lanes and under the branchin.g trees, which shed soft showers of faded leaves upon her head, until she arrived at her des- tination, where she made the slightly disconeertin.g discovery that, in spite of her determination not to do so when leaving, she had thought of nothing - but Blackwood Craven's dark, dejected face the entire way. "Tita, my clearest, is it really you!" cried Mrs. Clearteris, running merrily down the broad stone steps of the en- trance, to Miss Katherine, as ,the lat- ter flung herself impatiently out of the saddle without a mornthit's warning. "1 ana so awfully glad to see you. Come in and spend the day with me - do. Charlie has just got some new in- sect with forty legs, and wing§ to cor- respond, so he is lost, to nee fon good- ness knows how long, and it will be quite charitable of you to take pity on me. But what is the matter with you, darling? Are you vexed about any -- thing?" "No, it is only the heat,"'Miss Blount declared. "On the contrary. I have gcod news. • Papa -- after I had abused him heartily in my inmost soul tor about as • hour -- relented and gave me money to buy a new dress for , the Tauntons' ball; so I am perhaps I Just a little bit put out, you see, at having wronged him in my thoughts so much." . "Nonsense!" -cried Harry, leading her visitor into an exquisitely -furnish- ed little boudoir -"you don't say sol Well, I am astonished at his amiabil- ity, and a wee bit disappointed, per - baps as I had ordered' a dress for you myself. There! You need not get so indignantly crimson -you are quite in- dependent of my impertinent interfer- ence now. But tell me when it was yinolugru itfya?t,her became conscious of his "More than an hour ago," Miss Blount answered - "just after Cap- tain Barrington arrived about some partridges for next month's shooting. I saw him pass the garden on his way to the square field, where papa was." . Mrs. Charteris laughed. - "I don't want to destroy the admira- tion you are cherishing for your fathe er's unprecedented conduct," she said, "but I almost think I can guess what changed his mind. Did you not hear that Sir Mark Warrenne returned to the hall the evening before la.st? And cannot you fancy how eager the Tauntons, will be to have him at their ball -and what a desirable match the wealthy baronet , will be for 1VIr. Blount's beautiful daughter? Now do not look so savage, Tita-it is horribly unbecoming to your style; and, do not makeup your mind -as I see you are doing -to revenge all this on the poor young man himself. He is totally un- conscious of the whole concern, you know, and you, owe him a debt of gra- titude, as, but for his providential ar- rival at thisparticular time, you would in all probability never have danced at the Tauntons' ball." "If I believed what you said to be really the case," Miss Blount began, angrily, "I should--" "No; you would not, nay dear, de- pend upon it," interrupted Mrs., Char- teris, nrovokingly, "as he is one of the nicest fellows I ever met. I know hirn eetremely well, you know, having been introduced to him last year in Switzer- land, when he took the greatest fancy to me, and traveled about with ug af- terward for at least two mouths. I liked him extremely, and have kept up a correepondence with hint ever since; besides, he has fourteen thousand a, year, and a delightful place quite enough to make Pluto himself lovely he these degenerate days -- and is just the very man for you." "And is old and ugly, I think you forgot bo add," Miss Blount put in, languidly, without the faietest sus- picion of interest in her voice. "Nb, he isn't," Harriet answered, gayly; "he is everything your fancy could possibly paint him --`lovely' as Apoilo, but, thank Heaven, by no means 'divine,' An& if you are a very good little girl, and play your carde properly, I will put in such a telling word for you that in the long run be will infallibly, be `thine,'" "I do think, Hurry, that at timed you have not a particle of sense," Miss Blount exclaimed, amused at the oth- er's absurdity in spite of herself ; whereupon the two filen& broke into merry laughter, and went up stairs to- gether to inspect Harry's dress for th130aiel:tir:m.miansgt Lehi tele, onaa na i ng de.ideethetci<atoharine Having at length, after e some - whet. etormy debate, arrived, at the setisfactory eonclusion that Miss Blount would make it very presentable "appearance in white end etribee, the two began to meditate a descent oil Charlie's sanctum, for the express pur- •pose tet carrying off its ecetipatit forci- bly 4.o Itineheore from ateoeg his belov- et beetlee, when a home's hoofs ring- ing it the hard gtevei arrested their steps, Mrs, Chaeteris's beattioin be. trent a the bons°, overlooked a great part ef the tiVqAUO, 8P, runeieg hastily to the WiadQW to aeSertalri W1W the newerener eaieht be, elle was both Sleuthed aed delighted to -per- ceive that Is wait no less a pereon than Sir Mark Warreerse himself.

And as she finished speaking she held out her hand to Mrs. C'harter's with a pretty, wilful grace and a sud- den assumption of good spirits that only partially impoeed ou her quick- witted, watehful friend. However, she made no further re- ruarle just then, but took the girl's proffered hand fondly in her own, and led her down stairs into the tasteful, •eunny drawing -room, where Sir Mark Warrenne was introduced to Kath- erine Blount, and where Miss Blount made herself as disagreeable as she very well could to that exceedingly in- offensive young man: Mrs. Clearteris was provoked beyond measure -how could Katherine show herself in such an unfavorable light? anti set herself with laudable persever- ance to turn tile conversation into a more congenial channel, finally sug- gesting luncheon as a last resource. This •was always it pleasant meal at Castle Park, servants being strictly ex- cluded, and a general air of uncon- ventionality pervading the whole at- mosphere; so Harriet fondly hoped that Katherina might thaw if ex- posed to its influence. "I hope that you have come laome for good this,tinee, Sir Mark," she began, presently, smiling in her pretty friendly manner at the baronet. "I cannot say whether it will be for good exactly," he answered, pleasantly, "but I have at last made up my mind to give the old country a fair trial. You see, after you left, ales. Charteris, I found traveling about by mytself just the slightest degree in the world slow; so I threw- it up after a few months' longer wandering. A fellow does feel the want of friends at some time or other during his hfe, I suppose, and my turn has come now." "I am afraid, for all that, you will miss the warm Italian skies and the beautiful Italian faces more than you fancy possible, after awhile," Mrs. Charteris went on, "and we shall be lasing you again in a few months or so." "I hardly think that," he answered, "My tastes are not altogether so for- eign as you seem; to imagine; indeed, to please me, I have seen more real beauty since my return to the old place than I Oyer saw abroad." And involuntarily as he spoke his eyes fell on the exquisite downcast face of Miss Blount, who was sturdily demolishing her cold fowl in the most provokingly practical manner con- ceivable. "There 1 what a compliment to our dear old England!" Harriet exclaim- ed. "I feel quite prowl when I recol- lect you are just fresh from the "Land of Beauty.' Teta, will you not „ac- knowledge thatit was a pretty speech?" ' "Very," Miss Blount replied, with abominable coolness, and without deigning to raise her eyes -"quite the prettiest thing I ever heard., and so original. But unfortunately, it has rather lost its charml for me, as I am Quito tired of being told Bow extreme- ly lovely I am." Mrs. Charteris was aghast. She had. never seen Katherine in such a wayward nabod before, and could have ehaken her heartily had they been alone. But Sir Mark wee inexpress- ibly amused at the novelty of her im- pertience, and laughed. To be Continued. Children Cry for CAS110 IA, BEST TIME TO TAKE MEDICINE. According to Professor Moritz, writ- ing in a German medical periodical, the most speedy absorption of a drug into the human systera is insured by administering it •with water on an empty stomach. In many cases, he says, a definite effect will thus be pre - duce& when no effect would be pre- ceptible from the same dose adminis- tered shortly after the taking of food.

The kingdom of the horse is about to pass away.; his realm has been in- vaded, first by the application or st eane to locomotives, and, new steam and gas- oline end electricity are about to ban - isle the horse from, the carriage and cart and truck. No doubt •lovers of the horse will retain the finer breeds for racing and other purposes, but from the beasts of burden throughout the leading civilized coentries a morituri salutaraus is already beginning to arise. The inventive mind has only recent- ly been turned upon the autornobilq, and the enormous possibilities of the ma- chine have not yet, by any means, been fully worked; out or realized. But, ac- cording to the old adage, money makes the mare go, and money combined., vvith the brains that money conearands will certainly make the autorabile go. A. year ago there Were not 80 automo- biles in America, but since the first of this year et least 80 companies have been organized in different sections of the United. States and Coracle, with an enormous aggregate capital of nearly 0400,000,000. These companies • are turning out about 200 types of vehicles, with var- ious raethoils of propulsion.- Electricity steam and. gasoline, are the three main forces that have been chained. and bound to; do the bidding of!, the man, be- hind the lever. Other motive powers, derived from compreesed air, liquid air, carbonic acid gas and alcohol, are be- ing experimented with, but automobiles with these power's behind the throne are not yet practical and accomplished facts; they' are stiU in the experiment- al stage. THE AUTOMOBILE ABROAD. In France the antomobile is used by the farmer and milkman and grocer and peddler as well as by the man of wealth and leisure. An automobile club isf in existence which numbers up- ward of 2,0e0 members. In Paris the electric motor is fast supplanting the old-fashioned horse cab. French laws have been arassed for the regulation of builders and operators, and providing for races and speed limits. The machine is to be used. for military purposes, and has become a Governmental institution as well as a great business industry. There are several powerful associa- tions in England devoted 'to the devel- opment of the automobile, and espe- cially in the line of carrying heavy loads enri for trucking purposes the m.achine hac found a far wider accept- -ance than in the United States. Auto- mobiles propelled by steam are the most popular in England. In New York and ha some of the other large cities of the United States the electric vehicle has come largely into favor. It is especially well adapt- ed for all silty uses, for it is without odor or vibrations, and is almost noise - leas; hue owing to the necessity of car- rying a storage 'battery, it is very heavy and can run for but a limited distance -about 25 miles -without re- charging. Therefore at preseet-for there is no telling what improvements may be made -the automobiles run by steam or' gasoline are superior for long distance purposes. These machines can be made much lighter, and do not re- quire, as do the electric vehicles, charge ing stations; moreover, fresh supplies of gasoline can be obtained anywhere, and -steam is easily generated. HANDS AND FEET BUSY. In the electric automobile the cur- rent is readily controlled by a lever managed by the left hand of the driv- er, whose right hand is occupied with the steering lever. Thus the driver has his hands full, and his feet are fully occupied as well. With his left heel he manages the emergency switch, and with his left toes he rings the gong. The reversing switch is turneri with his right heel and the brake, is applied with either right or left foot. He turns out the light by pressing a but- ton under his seat. Hence it can be seen that the driver must keep his wits about him and ba handy with both hands and feet. The gasoline automobile also keeps its operator fully occupied, and he has more details to master. He must know how to fill the gasoline and water tanks, how to regulate the battery which ignites the gas and must un- derstand how to clean and oil the ma- chinery, and must familiarize himself with other ,details of the machine, The mere running of an automobile is ranch the same, wlaatever the power employ- ed. The gasoline machines are usually French inventions. • Certainly the automobile is going to bring about great changes among all sorts and conditions of men. The ma- chige isl but in its infancy now -it may be tallea a mere baby in comparison with • what invention and progress will make It. In our rural districts it is a great curiosity now, but before many years have passed away, it horse in these ammo dietriets will be it far greeter ceriosity than an automo- bile. THE THREE TYPES.

The above is an American reproduc- tion of a Decauville voiturette. The motive power consists of a double cy- linder gasoline motor, which transmits its poswer to a differential in theerear axle. It is well known that when gaso- line is; mixed with air in proper propor- tions and ignited, it explodes instant- ly. By admitting this mixture at; the end On head of the engine cylinder and exploding it at the proper moment the piston is driven violently forward, and then, by th.e a.cti on of the fly wheel or an equivalent device, it is forced back again, and. the motor is kept in motion. The explosion of the gas is produced by means of an electric spark. The machine is started by turning the starting wheel at the side. This starts the motor by sucking in a charge of gas and exploding it. In the steam automobile the steam is, generated by using gasoline as flier There is a gasoline tank in the front part of the carriage, which connects by means of a pipe with the firebox under the boiler. Combustion goes on in the firebox and the gasoline is vapor- atized and conducted by the pipe around the boiler. A. double cylinder engine connects with the boiler, and the power is applied to the rear wheels by means of sprockets and chain. When the machine is to be starteda rod is heated and inserted in the fire- box. Then gasoline is turned on from the gasoline tank. The heat vaporizes the gasoline and prevents any explo- sion; than a match is applied to the firebox and starts the gasoline flame. It takes about four minutes to get Up steam. Then the tlarottle is open- ed by pressing it forvvard; this lets the steam' into the piston. Every oper- Afton is automatic after that. Children Cry for CASTOR IA. PECULIAR PEOPLE. Amongst the many- peculiar customs prevalent among the people of Cen- tral America is that of parting for one year after the marriage ceremony has been solemnized. This custom has 13revailed among the jarnos from time immemorial. Thera ie no courtship al- lowed to be carried on between the parties prior to the wedding. When a man selects, a woman he obtains the cement of the parents on both sides, and if this is given they are at once married. The reason, however, for their not living together as roan and wife- for one year after marriage is in order to permit of the parties visit - beg and staying with their respective friends in different parts of the coun- try, which is a customary thing, and occupies the time specified, Ninety-nine out of a hundred of these marriages turn out well. •t eaves 'T hou sari as of Lived,, rear years age -eatieb Dewitta, of Ho !eland, was • dragged to the verge of death by, dreadful !inert dleease.
