Dorothy's ?oleo Mr. Crawshaw jerked his head in the direction of Nancy, and then, with an evil look in his black eyes he turned and lounged towards the girl just as Mrs. Fairfax glided up to Derry's side. ";Here you are at last," she said, with a sigh of relief; "where have you been to? Oh, there is Miss Hamilton, alao. Shall we join them'!" "I prefer to remain here, if you have no objection." To all appearances Mr. Darnley was only very languid, very tired, and rather dull. "I am delighted --delighted!" cried Mrs. Fairfax, with enthusi- asm, and speaking the honest truth. "I have been dying for some con- genial society all the day." "Scarcely flattering to my cou- sin and her guests." He was smiling, but his ears were listening for those tones once again. She was surely very silent. He did not dare look,' for if he did it meant fresh torture. "Oh, you know what I mean," cried Mrs. Fairfax, setting herself in 'a luxurious .chair and glancing up at him coquettishly, feeling that beasts of the field -a man without her complexion must look well in heart or honor.

"You must forgive me, Mr. Crawshaw, if I spoke rudely to you," she said, coldly, drawing Nancy's trembling hand through . her arm; "but please understand that Miss Hamilton is my dearest friend, and I resent an insult to her as I should resent an insult to myself." Mrs. Fairfax shut her fan and sat bolt upright. This was going to be amusing with a vengeance 1 Derrick Darnley only leaned still closer against the marble pillar; his face had grown curiously set and stiff, and his eyes ware fastened on that slender, shrineing form before him. Acting or no, there was such a look of pain and anguish written visibly on her white cheeks and quivering lips, that it awoke his pity. savagely; then he put his hand on Crawshaw smiled almost insolent- Nancy's shoulder.

"Nancy—Nanoy, say this is not true!" The girl rested her hands in those two gentle ones for ono instant. There comes a limit even to suffer- ing, and her limit had come.

Nancy reared her head, her eyes went across to those of the man she musb call master. At the cruel, wicked look in his face she flinched;' she seemed to see her uncle alone, deserted, perhaps dying, for she knew Crawshaw would give him no mercy. "I marry him of my own free will," she said, slowly and delib- erately. Dorothy's arms Slackened in their hold, and she stepped back. "Then," she said, in trembling tones, "then there is nothing li ft for me to do but to offer my sin- cere apologies to Mr. Crawshaw, and—and to wish you happiness,, dear." Derrick Darnley had not moved through this short, strange inter- view, but at Nancy's cold, curt words he started, and moved for- ward. orward. As she was unmerciful in her strength, so he would show her he had no mercy. "Of' course you do, Dolly," he said, speaking very easily and Meer- ly ;, and so do we all, Coma, Mrs. Farrtex, where are your congratu- lations 1" "Here, and at Mise, Hamilton's service ,, , was' the prompt reply.t "My dear, I congratulate you o sincerely.

Mrs, Farhat Was well versed in the lawn she saw two forms com- ing toward her, carrying something between them, and evidently mak- ing for the plantation. She stopped till they came.

NERVOUS HEADACHE. A well-known medical .authority says, "Sleep, if taken at the right moment, will prevent an attack of nervous headache.

This is the time asleep of an hour, or even two, as nature guides, will eventu- ally prevent the headache.
