This was Helen's reasoning; but it did not comfort Katy, whose face looked white and sad, as she moved listlessly about the house, almost crying again when she heard in the distance the whistle of the train which was to carry Wilford Cameron away and end his first visit to Silverton. -- CHAPTER VI. Katy Lennox had been very sick, .and the bed where Wilford slept had stood in the parlor during the long weeks while the obstinate fever ran its course; but she was better now, .and sat nearly all day before the . fire, sometimes trying to crochet a little, and again turning over the books, which Morris had brought to ,interest her•—Morris, the kind physi- ,cian, who had attended her so faith- fully, never lea; ing her while the fever was at its height, unless it was necessary, but staying with her day and night, watching her symptoms carefully, and praying so earnestly that she aright not die. not, at least, until some token had been given that again in the better world he should find her, where partings were unknown, and where no Wilford ('onleron could contest the prize with hiin. Not that he was greatly afraid of Wilford now; that fear had Mostly died away just as the hope had died from Katy's heart that the would never moot lviln again. Since the September morning when he had left her, she had not heard from him except once, when in the winter, Morris had been to New York, and having a few hours' Idei- sure on his hands, had called an Wilford's office, receiving a most •cordial reception, and meeting With Mark Ray, who impressed him' as a than quite as highly cultured as Wil- ford, and possessed of more charac- ter and ,principle. This call was not altogether of Morris's seeking, but was made rather with a view to pleasing Katy, who, when she learned that he was going to New York, had said inadvertently: "Oh, I do so hope you'll meet with Mr. 1Cameron, for then we shall know Ithan he is neither sic' nor dead, as I have sometimes feared." And so Morris had sought his rival, feeling repaid for the effort it had cost him, when he saw how glad Wilford seemed to meet hint, The first commonplaces over, Wilford in- quired for Katy.

"Mark will tell you how busy I was," and he turned ap- pealingly to his partner, i4 whose expressive eyes Morris read that SR- verton was not unknown to him, But if Wilford had told hint any- thing 'derogatory of the farm -house or its is inmat es, it ,did not appear in Mark Ray's manner, as he re- plied that Mr. Cameron had been very busy since his return from Sil- eerton adding: "From what Cam- eron tells me of your neighborhood there must be some splendid hunt-, ing and fishing there, and I had Met fall al halfa mind eto try it." This time there was something comical in the eyes turned so mis- chievously upon Wilford, who color- ed scarlet for an instant, but soon recovered hs composure, and invit- ed Morris home with him to dinner. ,his usually grave face wore a look "I shall not take a refusal," ho of happiness which his patients no - said, as Morris Regan to decline, tired, feeling themselves better af- "Mother ancl the ladies will be de- tel one of his cheery visits.

Whin Wilford first returned from Silverton. he had, as a sure means of forgetting Katy, told his mother and sisters something of the farm- house and its inmates; and Juno, while ridiculing "both Helen and Katy, had felt a. fierce pang of jeal- ousy in knowing they were cousins "Iteii'lember nit klnaiy to the Si verton friends, and say I have no forgotten them." And thin was all there was tee ca ry back to Katy, who on the after noon of Morris's r'eturn from New York, was at Linwood, waiting t pour his tea and make his toast she pretended, though the real re son was shining all over her tell tale face, a c c which f ht h rc w so bright an B ft eager when Morris said: "I dined at Mr. Cameron's, Kitty.' But the brightness gradually faded its Morris described his .call and then repeated Wilford's message. "And that was all," Katy whisper- ed sorrowfully us she beat tho da mask cloth softly with her fingers, shutting her lips tightly together to keep bac1S her disilppointment, When 'Morris glanced at her again there was a tear on her long eye- lashes, sad it dropped upon her cheek, followed by another and ano- ther, bit. ho -did not seem to see it, and talked of New York, and the fine sights on Broadway until Katy was able to take part in the conversa- tion.

This was in the winter, and Katy, bad been very sick since then, while Mor1•Is had coeie to believe that Wil- ford was forgotten, and when, as she grew stronger, he saw how her eyes sparkled at his coming, and how impatient she seemed if he was obliged to hurry off, hope whispered that she would surely be his, and lP tatnty would be, Morris dealt ou I her medicine, and for an instant fol her rapid pulse, but did not retai r- her hand within his own, nor la e his other upon her head, es he ha sometimes done, o IHe could not do that now, anis s , he hurried away, finding the worl a- into which ho went far different from - what it had seemed an hour ago d 'Then allwas r' bright ht 1 at d hopeful g P l u b tw o alto ,a al a 1d darker arl e r nit ht was ' gathering found him than any h had ever known, and the patients 11.e visited that day marveled at th whiteness of his face, asking if he were i11.

If you do not treat it in time it will, in all possibility, develop into bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, or some other serious throat or lung trouble. On the first sign of a cold or cough it is advisable to cure it at once, and not let it run on for an indefinite period. For this purpose there is nothing to equal Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, a remedy that has been universally used for the past twenty-five years. ' You do not experiment when you get it, Mrs. Louis Lalonde, Penetanguishene, Ont,, writes:—"When my little boy was two years old he caught a cold which turned into bronchitic, I tried every- thing to cure him, even to doetor'a lsledit• tine, but it did him no good.
