"Oh,I could not stay then; it would be terrible!" Stuart opened las lips as if- to speak, than eloaed them firmly again, and for a wbile there was silence between them as they walked.

The footman bowed And turned away, while Vane felt that elm wished the ground would open and swallow up this queer, dried, cynicalecousin or herself - it mattered not which. Never had she been in so disagreeable a position. Sir Douglas came to her rescue. "Will you forgive me?" he said, quiet- ly extending his hand, a long thin white hand, which seemed strangely at vari- ance with his rough, ill -cut clothes.. "It is I who ask that," she replied. "Of eourse, had. 1 known—' "Naturally, naturally," Interrupted Sir Douglas. "Let us say no more about it. So my cousin, Constance is out? Well, I hope she will forgive me for taking her by storm in this way. And where is her boy?" - "Stuart has gone to Cheeterham." "Hunti And is he a nice fellow? Do you like him?" Miss Charter's hesitated. "Yes," she replied, slowly, "I like Stu- art very much. You will see him this evening." "Hum!" abeerved Sir Douglas again; and at that instant, 'the squire's tall thin agate appeared, a look of omits- guised pleasure on his face. • "My.dear Douglas!" "Sholto, old fellowl" The two men clasped hands; no words of stronger welcome were spoken, but their eyes looked all they would say; the hand -grip testified more plainly than words. What memories filled the mind of each as they stood thus face to face --the traces of the world's buffets In their worn lineaments -memories of two young forms with hope and vigor sbining in their glowing eyes, determines tion and ambition strong in their hearts.

"My man will axrive with my traps in about an hour's time." "On foot from Chesterham! You must be tired out. Come to my study. What volumes of anecdotes we could write, Douglas, of our respective lives! Vane, nay dear, will you come with us?" "No," replied Miss Charter's, with a foreed emile. "1 will go and tell mamma that Sir Donets has arrived." She moved away gracefully as she spoke; Sir Douglas looked after her. "Tlint is George Charteris' girl?" he asked. "Yes. She is very beautiful, is she not?" returned the squire dreamily. "linin!" observed Sir Douglas to him- self. "She may be; but-" The sentence was left unfinished, and the strange guest followed the squire in- to the house. "How unchanged it all is!" Ito remark- ed, as he entered the great hall. "I seem to have stepped back into my boabood again, Sholto. Ale we don't wear as well as bricks and mortar, old fellow' Only a few short years, and we are both 'wrecks of what we were!" They had entered a smaller apart- ment at the back of the building, one used by the squire as his study and own special sanctum. Books and pamphlets were ettrelessly strewn about; and the room, in its plain appointments, told clearly and distinctly the character of its owner. The squire pushed forward a large chair to the window, and Sir Douglas, throwing off his bat, (seated himself it it, whilst the sqlare settled himself at the table, "Did my letter startle you?" asked Sir Douglas suddenly. "Yea, it did," was the eandla tuiewer. "I had begun to think you would never teturn. to England, that you would .die as you have lived, a wanderer . from your home."

As thne goes on, it growe worse, becalm, the daughter follows in the steps of her mother and the next generation is bound to be more lavish than the last. One thing that makes the beart ache is the thought of American men toiling and denying themselves to give such a prodigal family the only sort of va- cation that seems to satisfy it. If men, women and children could be made to understand the blissfulness of a simple holiday, the vast migratory portion of the nate!' would learn how much more enjoyment, health and rest eould be got from the simple life than from an unending effort to be "just as good" as Our neighbor, leveey one has to adapt advice to suit one's circum- stances; still, from what one ,wotnan has learned during many seasons of "cot- taging," it few ideas may be gleaned that will prove useful, -Isabel Gordon Curtis, in Success.

It is kntOwn as Burr Oak Grove. /1 Is sur- rounded on all sides by open prairie, and is situated at a considerable distenct from the nearest stream, whereas all the other forest tracts in central Illinois lie along the larger watercourees. Dr. Gleas- on believes from the character of the trees In the grove, that it "migrated" into its present position from the north- east. It lies on a large glacial moraine. formerly, it is believed, covered with similar 'trees, and has been protected from forest fires, which have destroyed the remainder of the wooded area, by the water standing in the low grounds scattered throuhout the grove.

Sir James Barr, a distinguished English physician, who has been lecturing in this country, says that more honesty and courage arid lass sentiment is needed In the fight against disease. He told a Montreal audience: "1 would advise you while showing all possible kindness to the insane and mentally defective, to give them clearly to understand that with them their breed must come to an end."
