" You are quite rigltb, ao it to 1 ana 1 oa speak of Maltby better than own most people, for ho makee a serf of eider Bieber of mound yells me elf hie affairs down to tete smallest trifles, so that of °puree he has told me ail abort yourself, and what are hie hopes and fears."' This wamooming to the plot with military promptitude indeed, and 1 onion I waited. anxiously to see whatmightfollow. " lie has told me how he was taken with you, and C Bahl, es happened to be the truth, that I wasn't in the leaet surprised, And then he wept further and told me all that had pasted between you. Not that he needed to tell we as I had pretty welt fathomed itfor myself, Now the first thing my dear Lady Craven, of course,is whether you like him. Naturally you haven't told him so in so many words, but equally of course I imagine you do ; because, in the first place, it would be very odd if you didn't; and in the next place if you didn't things could hardly have come to their present pass." I did not quite follow this line of argu- ment, but again assured her that I liked Captain Maltby very much, and from all I had heard and seen respected hien as much as I liked him. "I would have sworn au much," cried Mrs. Ilartyn triumphantly. "I told the Colonel en this very morning. Well, then, you see the only question is about hie old father, who from ell I hoar, is as puritani• cote he is rich, and likely to prove exoes- etvely disagreeable, . However, I ain sure for myself thab you like one another, and if so, everything will come right in the end. I am sure I certainly hope it will for both your sakes, for you'll make what the Irish call an `illigant couple 1' " And with this benediction Mrs. Martyn wee about to take her departure when I stopped her. "There is owe little question;' I said, "that I am dying to ask you, Mrs, Martyu," "Ask me anything you please, my dear child." "Well, then, how did my story got known in the regiment? How did it got abont at all ?" "Ob, that's an easy matter to explain. The parson here sante from Salcheeter, and 1 suspect -in fact, I happen to know -that the Dean of Salcheeter gave him what our young fellows term the tip. in other words Dr. Proper( repeated what your father had told him, that's how itgot about my dear child." I rennet asto ' atslted, My father seems totaket a ser of pleasure in following me about and trying to hunt no down, and everybody, appears to assist him." " Not everybody, dear Lady Craven. He won't get much assistance here ; not amongst ne at any rate. I am sure that some of our young fellows if the got ythe chance, would give him as fair a kining as he deserves.nd A , as I for myself disap- prove of any such schoolboy ,ranks on the part of young men and am olcially bound to do so, I should take very particular care in my ofBoial capacity, and with my official eyes, to look steadily the other way.". And with this very gentiles little out. burst of feeling, the good lady tossed her load like one of her husband's ohargers, and took her departure. Another good turn which 1 indireotly owed to my father. Well, this time at any rate, he had mosb signally failed. And while I was dreeeing myself for my after- noon drive, I began to wonder whether he . was by this time out of debt ab Southwick, and to hope that he was not and also that his creditors would insist upon impounding his income, or, at ary rate, a very °inaid- erable portion of it. Had they felt as vindictively towards him as I did myself, they would have given hint but very scanty grace. CHAPTER XXIX. On the afternoon of the day appointed I heard, from my seat in the window, Captain Maltby'a step in the street, and immediately afterwards his knock at the door. I had arranged my rooms with more than ueual care as to all minor details ; and they really lookedcharmingly English endpleas• ant, with flowers here and there, and other such simple adornments. I had taken espeoial pains with my own personal appearance, At that time it suited me best to dress either superbly, as was my babib when I was with Sir Henry in Paris, or else as plainly as possible. This afternoon I wore a plain white dress of nun's veiling, with flounces of lace. My only ornament was a large Gloire de Dijo just out of bud. He came into the room, and straight up totne with a radiant fade, and the blood rushed into my fade with pleasure, and I felt my hand glow as I held in oub to greet him, "It has been a long waiting," he said " and a hard one ; but I have got my reward at last. In it not eo?" "I suppose so," I answered, "if it has been worth the waiting for." " Worth the waiting for I" he said, plan. ing a handon each of my shoulders, and looking down into my eyes. " Worth waiting for 1 I would have waited aa long as Jacob waited for RaoheL" And then he kissed me on the lips, and again I felt the blood leap up blazing into my face. Presently, in fact almost immediately, we found ourselves talking about the future which we seemed altno0t to have reached. That we were to remain with the regiment was settled, and indeed to follow It to India, when he turn came for foreign service, And beyond this there wee really nothing to bo said, although we should not have been English, or for the matter otthet ordinarily human, if we had not touched upon walb and means. And how about your father ?" I asked, "Will he give hisoonsent to your marriage with me?" "My father," he replied, " would no doubt have been better pleased if 1 had gone through the unnecessary formality of first applying to him for hie most valuable and gracious pormieeion fn a matter so lin- portant. For that, however, there was not suifioient time, as I could only have written to him to tell him that my own mind was made up, and could net until today have written more definitely. I shall write now -in fact, tonight -and my letter will, I expect, bring him down at once to see us, as we obvioualy cannot go up together to eee him and my mother. But he is not the kind of a man to interfere with my ohoiee, or to raise any objection to it. "He wanted me, I remember, very much to go foto the Engineers, which of course I could have done as my pa58out from Sand - hunt ehoaved; butt told hien 1 preferred the cavalry. 1 think ho was annoyed, for he euggesbed with a sneer that if T really wanted cavalry eervioe with hard work and hard Bghbing, and a handsome uniform, I r had better join the Indian irregular oav- 010y,'" 1 want with kiln nearly es far as the brae ke, and then turned down to the bore, where I had eat dawn and began to Deem meaninglese figurers on the Baud with the point of my pI1arasel, It would be iello to pretend thet 1 had forgotten George Sabine, go that 1 should ever forget him. But it t wquld have been equally idle to pretend thab Idid not really love Captain Maltby quite well 'enough to marry flim with a clear 000001000e, and with the full belief that, as the yeare went on, I should love him more and more. No doubt the life that now lay before wee 000 that 00 Whioi I once looked fora me rd. ,Thera are few men fa the world molt as was Mr. Sabine, witit all his natural gifts, and all the advantages with which fortune had favored hien ; not yet in the primo of life, handsome, magnificently strong, full of energy and daring, end with a fortune that enabled him to gratify even his small - et caprice. Bet I could now think calmly of George as of a friend lost forever. As for poor Mr, Meadowowoot, lam really afraid that Idid not think of him at all ; had I done so, Ism sure it would hove been with the greatest kindness, end as of a moat true, brave, and loyal officer of the church militant. But he somehow had faded beyond even the pori• non of my present vision. Next moraine brought rue, before I was out of bed, a telegram, which I was 00000. led to find came from Captain Maltby, It was sent from the station, and was of ser- ious import. Ile was off to London at once, and had no time to write, Hie older brother had been thrown from his horse and was not expected to live. A letter would follow as soon as possible. Here was fortune again playing me her bowilderinl; tricks, and I had had by this time ornament experience of het to feel thoroughly uneasy, 1 knew that I could trust Captain Maltby himself thoroughly and implicitly. But, on the other hand, it was impossible to tell, if his position should be materially altered by his brother's death, what in- fluences or arguments might not be brought to bear upon him, or what pressure mighb not be put upon him. And 11,ad already come, not, I think, without suffloiont reason, to regard all uncertainty in life as dangerous, and in- volving something n:uoh more than mere matter for disquietude. Clearly, however, there was nothing to .be dodo but to wait; and, as I had once waited for a verdieb, so I felt thab I must now hold my soul in patience, and wait for something far more important to me than theerd' v ,,,t of anyjury was ever likely o J Yt be. And, after all, the ohucee of the game were all in my favor. Captain Maltby'apay and my own income would he .amply sufficient for us, if we lived quietly, whatever hie father might think, or even do. So that, really, my mind was only troubled about himself, for I knew that he had been much attached to his b ter ro h ,and that with bro0hera thore'is no via media. Either the love between them is that to which David likened his love fon Jonathan, or else they detest one another cordially, and make no 0eoret about the fact, And, consequently, I was deeply grieved for iMaltby's sake, and felt as sorry as I could feel at the danger of a man whom I had never seen, and only knew by name. Almost at .the last flour that evening came a second telegram to tell me that his brother had died ; that the base of his skull had been fractured, and that believer recovered consciousness. I eat up late that night, thinking over matters from every point of view by the dem, pleasant light of a shaded reading lamp. I am afraid my thoughts, except in so far as my eineere regard and effeotion for Maltby himself might be concerned, were somewhat selfish. I knew, as I have said, that 1 could trust 10100; but then, in this lifo, you eau never be entirely certain how any man will sot under sudden and trying oirounletanees_ CHAPTER XXX. Next morning brought me a letter. A soldier's letters are usually short, and this one was no exception to the general rule. Captain Maltby began by saying that he had hardly time to write at all, although he was alwwayo thinking of me. He had been obliged, perforce, to Reply for extension of leave. The whole household at present watt in confusion, for his mother was really dangerously ill from grief, and his father was in a highly nervous condition which required constant Dare and attention. Everything consequently devolved upon himeelf. As soon as things had in theleast degree settled down I should see bim, 11 10 was only for a few hours ; meantime, I should hear from him constantly, if it were only a couple of lines to say that he was well. I wrots back to him an affectionate letter, but , ot at all ab too great length, carefully avoiding any allusion that might suggest that my mind was in the least degree uneasy as to my own position, and, I also seed that I should send him myself a short lino every day which would be merely to let him know how I was, and would not in any way call for a rept'. This leg "despatched, I adhered religi. ously to it pledges. My daily letter to him was commendably brief, and eo worded as not to pall for anything like a specific ane. wor. I told him each day how I was, what I had been doing, and what I had been reading, and took the very greateat care not to trouble him with any of the detaile of garrison gossip. I had been a wife myself once, and I knew, or fancied I knew, the kind of a letter which a man 'you'd like to have from the woman he intends to marry, The day after his brother's funeral 1 heard from him, although, as usual, very briefly. The next day he wrote again to say that I might expect hem daily, that he had already that morning spoken to his father about our intended marriage, and bhat, although the old gentleman had not, maid anything at all definite, there was every reason to believe and suppose that everything would turn out well and happl. ly, although naburally our marriage would have, for a short time, to be deferred. The letter was very atleotionate, and made me extremely haply. I had, of course opened it before even hooking at the superscription of any of my other communications that morning. But 1 next turned to and opened a letter also with a deep black rim and sealed with an immense creat.' The address was in a distinctly oommoroial hand, and the letter itself, as 1 had expeoted the momen0my eye first bolt upon it, was from Maltby per°, I cannot help giving it exactly as it was written, though 10 would be difficult to re- produce the terribly chilling effeot of the pedantic oallgrapkyy with the clearly defined margin.

J wish any one of my read°, seriously to ask themselves whether a mot deliberately insulting letter, from a man t a woman, was ever written in oold blood, I had been many times before angry i my life. But this time I was terribl roused. The Pharisaism of the whole thing the intolerable assumption of blue blood i a man whose extraotion, as everybody kne perfectly well, had been humbler than ev that of the great Lord Leonard's himselt My blood. fairly boiled. Then I began in spite of myself, to laugh, for I remembered a story, apropos, by the way, of hie own father, Captain Maltby had told me about two recent Lord Chancellors, of whom one was the eminent lawyer w w r to whom I e Y h av just referred ; the other was Lord West- bury, then only plain Sir Richard Bethell. But I sons resolved that I would take refuge in the uttermost parts of the earth -in Grinnell Land, or Terra del Fuego ; in farthest Cathay, or in unsavory Monte Video -sooner than let the man whom I liked and esteemed jeopardize a useful and distinguished future uture for my sake, And eo when I conclude$ " Fra Diavolo" with a crash, and shut the pianoforte, my mind was quite made top. Then I ordered the carriage and started for a country drive among the quite lanes. My only difficulty would be with Captain Maltby. If he would consent to accept me eo a friend and nothing zoom all would he easy. If he insisted upon anything more, It would be imperative for me to go. It was a comfort to recollect that he was a gentleman, and that gentlemen are always to be trueted, if you satisfy them that you trust them entirely. --- CRAFTER XXXI. Captain Maltby lost no time. He came down from London indeed the very next day ; and I had very little to tell him which he did not know already, as his father had of course, forstalled me. Maltby had returned in a rage and more than ever determined that we should be married as soon as the neoeseary period of mourning dee to his brother's memory he'd expired. This he pressed upon me in the most im- petuous manner, evidently not antioipat. ing for a moment the least objection on my part. ' Vire shall have to wait bit, of course," he said. " The grave as yet has hardly closed over my poor brother. But there is no occasion whatever to wait for long. There is a certain proscribed period of mourning ; but I have no intention what- ever of protracting it in a matter which eo nanny concerns my own happi- ness, and in which I have already had so much anxiety. If you had. known my brother you would, I am sure, have shared in my feeling towards him. As it is you can quite understand the grounds for a delay, which, under any other eircumebances ; would be intoler- able." It was some few seconds before I oould bring myself to answer him at all. Then I said slowly: "I am certain yon mem all you say, but I must not allow it to alter my determination. Nothing on earth shall aver persuade me to marry into a falnily where, eo put the matter as plainly as possible, I am nob wanted, or to create a hopeless bit - tertian between a father and his only son. From his owe point of view your father is perfectly justified. Ho might no doubt have taken matters in another light -a wider and more generous one t but he fully believes himself right in his own (mune of conduct, and ie acting oonecientionsly and from a aria een80 of duty" " I don't see it at all," Maltby angrily interposed. The interview was now getting too pafn- ful for either of us to endure it any longer, end we brought it to n olose by a tort of mutual consent. I kissed him fondly, and then to please him put on my hat and went clown with him towards the barracks. We met the Colonel and his wife, with whom we exchanged u very friendly greet- ing, and finally 11000 him at the barrack gates, and wished him a pleasant journey back to town, and as quick a return as pos. Bible to Eaethampton. I did this with a guilty conscience, as I had made up my mind folly that when he came back, he should find I had taken my flight, Then I walk slowly back to my horse and when I had entered 10, and found tny- self alone, the full bitternesa, loneliness, and humiliation of my position burst upon me in all its hideous reality, and oppressed me eo terribly that I fairly broke down, Tears, however, are of no substantial and practical value in this world.

Gentlemen : I received a letter from you May 137th, stating that you lead heard of my wonderful recov- ery from a spell of sickness of six years duration, through the use of SOUTH AatgsxouN NLnvtNE, and asking for any testimonial. I was near thirty-five years old when I took down with nervous prostration, Our family physician treated ins, but with- out benefitting me in the least. My nervous system seemed to be entirely shattered, and I Constantly had very severe shaking spells. In addition to this I would have vomiting spells. During the years I lay sick, my folks had an eminent physician from Day- ton, Ohio, and two from Columbus, Ohio, to come and examine me, They all said I could not live, I got to having spells like spasms, and would lie oold and stiff for a time after each. 41 last I lost the use of my body—could not rise from my bed A. DEAD1111AN or walk a step, and had to bo lifted , like a child, Part of the time I coald mail a little, and one day saw an advertisement of your medicine and concluded to try one bottle. By the time I had taken one and one- half bottles I could rise up and take a step or two by being helped, and after I had taken five bottles in all I felt real well. The shaking went away gradually, and I could eat and sleep good, and my friends could scarcely believe it was 1, I am sure this medicine is the best in the world - I belivo it saved my life. I give my name and address, so that if anyone doubts my statement they can write me, or .our postmaster or any citizen, as all aro acquainted with my case. I am now forty-one years of age, and expect to live as long as the Lord has use for me and do all the good I can in helping the suffering. Miss &maw STOLTz.
