" You are quite rigltb, ao it to 1 ana 1 oa

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

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

---
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.

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

states that the fire is thought to be out,

South American Medicine Co.
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

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.
