Meaawhile, in February, Parliament met • The Duke and Duchess of Cheviot, with all the rest of che great world, came up to Lontioa for the SWUM. Lord Wellrose resumed the labors of humanity to which he had devoted his time niad, talents, • - Lady Hinclo Moray was again the belle 'of Belgravla, and generally pro- nounced more beautiful than ever. And „this was certainly true. She was more beautiful than ever, because she was lumpier than ever. The light of a pure: and peaceful love beamed in her face, for she loved the noble young Bari ot Wellrose, and she knew that he loved.her in return. Ite had never told her so, but all his self-control had failed to conceal tee bliesful truth from her eyes. How he etruggled with his passion'. How he told himself, day and night, that he should be Wse to every prin- ciple of honor and manhood should he suffer his affections to stray frornshis betrothed. • • He avoided Made as much its pos- sible, though, as she was his mother's guest at Ctfirefot House that season, common courtsy required him to be frequently in her society. He would have left London to escape tenmtation, Dad not his parliamentary duties kept lam in town. He wrote to Suzy by every mail, and told her all the news of the day, and sent her papers, magazines, -new honks and mew music. But his letters were no louger the ardent outpourings of passionate lave they had once been. They were as coolly friendly and matter-of-fact as her own had always been. And, meanwhile, the months slipped away, and bronat near the time•when the allied armies should achieve their great triumph. CHAPTER XXXT. In September came the most im- portant news. The allied armies had taken Sebastopol, and the Crimean war was virtually at an end. This news found the Duke and Duchess of Cheviot, with the Earl or Wellrose and the Ladies Hester and Eva Douglas, at Cheviot Castle, where they were spending the early autumn. White they were still discussing the great victory, a private letter arrived from Dr. Kinlock to the Earl of Well - rose. After describing the taking of the city, he went on to write: "Your brave kinsman, Lieutenant Douglas, has kept -his -word. With his own hand, he planted the colors on tbe walls of Sebastopol, _ But, all! in doing this, in the face of a muvderous fire, he has been severely wounded by a bullet through the left lobe of the lungs. He has been recommended for promotion, but it Is doubtful whether he will live to Kota, by it. Certainly he will not, if he stays here, I have advised him to be sent home with the invalid troops, who are to sail for England in a few days." • Lord Wellrose groaned as he Iaid this letter aside; and half las joy in the great victory was turned to grief. And even thus, throughout the land, the public rejoicing at the national triumph was tempered by the private mourning of those who beloved ones had bought the victory with their blood. - In a few days came another letter from Dr, Kinlock, in which he wrote: "Young. Douglas has received bis promotion. He is now a captain, but not yet assigagd to any company. .1 fear he never will be. He is sinking slowly, but surely. Ali his desire, now that the war may be said to be over, is to get back to England, Lo press your band once more and die. If I were not hoping from day to day that his desire may be granted and that he may be sent home, I should even entreat your lordship to come out here and ccimfort the dying boy, whose ,wish Itis to see your face. "I will go," said Lord, Wellrose to himself: then, suddenly recollecting all the circumstances, he pelded: "But I might mesa aim. Ahl he might be on his way Mime while I should be on my way out. I raust wait for an- other letter from Kinlock, I suppose. And Douglas is so ill1 be may _dee 131 As these troubled thoughts passed through his mind, .he turned over it leaf of his letter and read a para- graph dated a day later, and which was as follows: * * I had written so far when I received a message summoning Inc to headquarters. I immediately re - Ported there, and instantly received orders to go to Euglaud, by the Re- lief, in charge of a party of in-selid troops, Captain Douglas goes with us. 1 am extremely glad of this, as I shalt be able to attend personally en him during the voyage.

"And so he.is coming home, and I shall see him again, poor, brave, gen- tle boy! I thank the Lord tor this. And who shalt say that home air and kind friends and good nursing may not save his life and restore hia health'," said the earl to himself, as , folded this letter and laklit aside. Then Ile thug for bis valet, who immediatele_ Appeared. "Perkins, pack any portmanteau, and order the trap for four o'clotk, to tette us to the railway station. We leave for London by the five -fort - trate," said the earl, as he passed out of las room to notify his mother of his sudden journey. He reached Southatepton itz time kf s . He took apartments at the Lord Adzeiral. And utter a refreshing bath and change of dress, and a good breakfast, he set out to 'walk clown to the docks, to inquire for the ex - Ducted ship. Ile WaS. Inere fortunate 'than he could have hoped to be. The ship had just arrived, and was at anchor about • half g tulle front the land. • A steam tehder was already leav- ing the *bore to bring her passengers to land.

Living okeletons crowned wita deatles-headst Here were the maimed, the halt end the blind; the sick, the dying and the dead. Yes and "the dead." Many had died on the passage, and bad been burled In the sea. But some had died wItbe in a few hours; so recentlY, so near home, that their bodies had been soy - ed, to be given to their frieude, Lord Wellrose, Caen his Youth alh had been accustomed to sights of misery, fi his frequent personal min- istrations to the wretched. But , he bad never seen anything like this. And he grew sick and dizzy as be gazed, Soon the bustle of transferring these poor wrecks of manhood from the ship to the tender attracted his attention. At length the form for which he tso ertgerly watched appeared. Teat, oh, how cbanged! Was this man in the fiesb, or' a dtsembodied spirit, that approached, leaning on the arnt of the Middle- aged surgeon, Dr, Kinlock? Benuy was clothed iii his old war - worn, battle -Stained uniforru tbat hung loosely upon his emaciated -fig- ure. His face was so thin that it had taken an almoet triangular shape from the broad foreheaddown the hollow cheeks to the sharp chin. Tits complexion was so bloodless that pale would not describe it; it was a clear, fair, transpareut bluish-wbite. His large blue eves, sunk in their deep, shadowy hollows, seethed larger, bluer and brighter than before, His Olden hair had faded to a silvery fairnees. And in a word, If Benny was dying, he Wasa beautiful In death as is a setting star. So thought the Earl of Wellrose, as he epee' gently forward and took the wan hand, and said, with suppressed emotion' "Oh, my dear Benjamin! I thank Clod that you have lived to get home: And liow e will bone that geod air and good nursing will restore your health." The lime of the young soldier grew ra.dient with joy, as he grasped the hand of the earl between both hIi own, exelaiming: "Yee, thank God! I thank God that I live to see you once more: Now I am willing to die, "We will not talk of death, We will not have you die. You have every - tiling te live for now, Benjamin," said tbe earl. • But a violent fit of entighing seized tho invalid, and he turned and crept away to the aide of the ship, and sank down upon a seat to recover himself. "And now, Dr. Kinlock, yelcorne home. And much thanks for your de- votion to my—cousin, here," said the young earl, cordially shaking bands with the surge.on, whom, however, in the Mat moments of meeting Benny, he bad forgotten. "Thanks, my lord. f am very ham rnyeelf in the thotight that I have brought Captain•Donglas safe to.Eng- land. And for more reasons tban one," addea the surgeon, so emphati- cally that the young earl 'looked in- quiringly at him, as though he would have °hiked: . "Whet do you Mean?" ' • "He is your cough', you say, MY lord," remarked the surgeon, in an- swer to the unuttered question. "All the Douglases are cousins, you know,' ! replied the earl, -with a smile. 'Like the Stuarts and the Canm- belle, and the other Scottish clans. Bet that is all, my Lord?' inquired the doctor, in a low voice. • "That is all, so far as 1 anow," re- plied the earl, in a grave and some- what surprised and questioning- man- ner. "Then, my lord," said Dr. Kinleek, solemnly, "I have something to tell you that, I fear, will startle your lordship considerably. But not now; not now! See, my patient is recover - Mg himself, Ah, poor fellow! He is so sensitive! When he gets hit° those violent fits of coughing he sbrinks from observation like a wounded ani- ma . l3ut here he comes," added surgeon, as he arose and gave Benny his arm to support him to the side of the ship. Lord Wellrose also lent his aid, and thus the d the surgeon got the invalid on board the tender, and plac, ed him on some cushions in the stern of the deck. Benny sank down wtth a sigh of re- lief, and wearily closed his eyes and fell into the sleep of prostration. . Thr young earl, standing over hint, gazed mournfully down upon tee tette wan, wasted Mee, and then raleed his oyes ineuiringly to the surgeon. Dr. Kinlock gravely ishook his head und sighed. end the earl WM answered. The sick and wounded men were 411 corning on board. ''Where are all these poor creatures to be taken, doctor?" intillired the young earl, regarding the suffering crowd compassionately. •,.To tbe nflttary hospitale at Wale 'worth, for the present, where I have orders to deliver them over to the surgeon in charge," retitled the aut.- germ.

And then he raised 13en- uniy, and eupported him tenderly to the carriage, and placed him comfort- ublY ill U. And Lord Wellrose, taking Benny's fair head upon his breast, gave the order to the coachman to, drive slow- ly to the Lord Admiral. On reaching that hotel, his lord- ship's groom and valet were found to be in attendance. And, with their assistance, Captain Douglas was taken up to the rooms that had been engaged for bis accent- moclation, and laid upon a comfort- able lounge. Lord Wellrose ordered a dainty lun- cheon, such as he hoped might tempt the invalid's delicate appetite, And then he came and sat by.

"It is rest and peade-71t is meat and drink—only for me to lie here and look at you," said Benny, with a tone and glance of sneh pure love and per- fect content that reached the young earl's heart. • By the earl's direction the waiter drew a table up by the side of the in- : valid's lounge, laid the cloth and ar- ranged the lunchen upon it There ! fresh oysters, fragrant soup, a roast- ed pheasant, some light, delietous I wine, ripe peaches, apricots and ' grapes.

PAINT THE SCREW HOLES. ,Then You Can Use Thera Over and Over Again Without Trouble. Many persons experience consider- able difficulty in getting.screws o hola in screen doors and other movable con- veniences which are put up and taken down- frequently and which are tient in place by screws. The holes occu- pied by the screws become worn, and the screws are often quite loose, caus- ing doors to sag and be otherwise out of proper order, Bits of paper, string • and small pieces of good are used to partially WI up the holes so as to cause the screws to be tight, but these work out and cause groat annoyance, and a better 'nettled is greatly desired. • A coat of paint on the inside of the screw holes is the most satisfactory remedy for such an annoyaace. When screws are removed paint the holes with a small pen.ell brush or a bit of cloth twisted and dipped in the paint. When the paint fills the creases made by the thread of the screw and thoroughly dries the screw will fit tightly the next time 11 18 thrust into tho cavity. The painting should be done each time the screws are re- moved, and it will protect the wood as well as mike the holes ready for the readjustment of the door or Other ob- ject which had to the changed quite often.—Philadephia.
