"You are indeed a friend she said,
with languid irony.
"Oh, you think Pm giving him away?"
he said. ealy dear Miss Falconer,.every-
body knows him, X very ball room,, every
tennis court, is strewed with his wrecks.
And all the time he doesn't know it; bat
goeshis way crowned with a modesty
which is the marvel and the wonder of
this most marvellous of. ages."
"It sounds hie a, hero out of one of
'Ouida's' novels," she 'remarked, as
listlessly as before.
But behind her lowered lids her eyes
were shining with a singular brightness.
Howard turned to her delightedly.
"My dear Miss Falconer, if' you were
a man I should ask to shake hands with
you. It so exactly describeshim.That's
Just what he is. Frank as a boy, as
gentle as a woman, as . staunch as a,
bulldog, as brave -he would have stop-

as that marble statue."
He pointed to a'statue which stood
whitely on the edge of the lawn. and
she raised her eyes and looked at it
dreamily.
"I could break that thing if I had a
big hammer," she said.
"1 daresay," he said. "But you can't
break Stafford. Honestly" -he looked
at her -"I wish you could!"
"Why?" she asked, turning her eyes
on him for the first time.
Howard was silent for a moment,
then he looked at her with a curious
gravity.
,Because it would be good for him:
because I am afraid for him."
"Afraid?" she echoed.
"Yes," he said, with a nod.. "",Some
day he will run against •something that
will .bring him to smash. Some woman
- But I beg your pardon. Do you
know, Miss Falconer, that you have a

She shrugged her shoulders,
"You were saying some woman," she
said.
He gave a sigh., of resignation,
"You are irresistible', Some woman
who will be quite unworthy of hien. It's
always the case. The block of ice you
cannot smash with your biggest ham••
mer is broken into smithereens by a
needle. That's the peril before Stafford
-but let us hope he will prove the ex-
ception to the rule and escape. He's
safe at present, at any rate."
She thought of the scene she had wit-
nessed. the girl sitting sideways ' on
Stafford Orme's horse, and her face
flushed for an instant.
"Are you sure?" she said.
"Quite!" he responded, confidently. "I
know all Stafford's flirtations, great and
small; if there was " anything serious
he would tell me; and as - he hasn't -
there isn't"
She laughed; the slow, soft laugh
which made Howard .think suddenly,
strangely, •of a. sleepy tigress he had
once watched in "a rajah's zoo, as she
lay basking in the sun: a thing of soft-
ness and beauty and -death.
We've had a most amusing eonver-
sation, Mr. Howard," she said. "I. don't
know when Pave been so interested -or
so tempted."
"'Tempted?" He looked at her with
a slow, expectant smile.
Oh, yes," she murmured, •turning -her
eyes upon him with a half -mocking light
in them. "You have forgotten that you
have been talking to a woman."
I don't deny it," he said. "It's the
finest compliment I could pay you. But

"And that to a woman your a0eount

He laughed.
]Don't: you'II be vanquished. Is that

So brutal that l will accept it," ere
said. "Is that ring of yours a favor-

ber. It was my mother's" he said, ra-
ther gravely,
She held out her hand, upon which
the costly gems glittered in . the sun-
light.
Choose one to Set against it," she
said quietly.
Howard, roused for ones from his
sleepy cynicism, met her gaze with
something like astonishment,
"You mean----?" he said, in a low
voice.
"I mean that I am going to try to
,meet your iceberg: You will play fair,
Mr. Howard? You will stand and look
on and -be silent?"
He smiled and leant back as if he
had considered her strange, audacious
proposal, and felt confident,
"Oa my honor," he said, with :a laugh.
"You shall have fair plays"

Stafford rode round the

his hat, then turned his hose and rode

CIfAPTBR S'ZTI.
When Stafford and Maude Falconer
went down to the lake after luncheon,
they found a party from the Villa just
embarking on board one of the launches;
the air. was filled with laughter and
chatter,' and the little quay was bright
with the white flannels of the men and
the gay frocks of the women. The party
greeted the two with exuberant welcome,
and Bertie called out to ask them it
they were coming on board,
"Perhaps you would rather go on
the launch, Miss Falconer?" said Staf-
ford- but she. shook her head.
"No, thanks," she said, languidly. "I
hate crowds of that kind. Id rather
stick to our original proposition; it will
bore me less. But perhaps ,you'd ra-
ther join them?"
Is It likely?" said Stafford, with a
smile, as he signed to the lnan to bring
up a skiff. "Now, let me snake you as
comfortable as I can, We ought to have
a gondola," he added, and lie handed her
to the seat in the stern.
She leant back with the sunshade over
her shoulder, and Stafford, as he row-
ed out towards the centre of the lake,
looked at her with unconscious admir-
ation. She was simply, perfectly dress-
ed in a yachting costume of white and
pale -blue, which set off to the fullest.
advantage her exquisite coinalexion and
her red -gold hair, But it was admira-
tion of the coldest kind, for even at that
moment he was thinking of the girl in
the well-worn habit, the girl he loved
with a passion that made his slightest
thought of her a psalm of worship.
And Maude, though she appeared half'
asleep, like a beautiful" wild. animal
basking in the warmth of tbe,sun, glanc-
ed at hini now and again. She had made
her wager with Howard on the spur of
the moment, prompted. by the vanity of
a woman piqued by•.the salty of Staf-
ford's indifference to her se eelmt as she
looked atliim she wondered how a wo-
man would feel is she fell in love with
him. But she had.: no fears for herself;,,
there was a c,'ldnoss; in her, nature- zvhtche
ball hitherto iliart;cii her from the r•..
which. men all la e and She thought
Herself quite secure, There would lie
amusenient,,tr11ln li,-in- -malting liim
love Icer, in winning her wager. with
that cynical Mr Howard, who boasted
of his friend's invulnerability; •and when
she had conquered, and gratified her
vanity— Ah, well, it would be easy
to step aside and •bring the curtain down
upon her triumph and Stafford's discom-
fiture She would wear that cynical Mr.
Howard's ring, and every time she look-
ed at it, it should remind her of her
conquest.
Stafford rowed in silence for some
minutes. Isis beautiful companion did
not seem to want him to talk; and
certainly showed no desire to talk her-
self; so be gave himself up to thinking
of Ida --and wishing that it was she who
was sitting opposite him there instead
of this girl with the face of a Grecian
goddess, with the lustrous hair of a
hours. At last, feeling that be ought. to
say something, he .remarked, as lie gaz-
ed at the marvellous_ view,
"Very beautiful, isn't it?"
She raised her eyes and let them wan-
der from the glittering water to the
glorious hills.
"Yes, I suppose it is. I'm afraid , I
don't appreciate scenery as much as
other people do. Perhaps It is because
one is. always expected to fallanto rap-
tures over it. Does that shock you? I'm
afraid I shock most people. The fact is,
1 have been brought up in a circle
which has taught me to loathe senti-
raent. They were always gushing about
their feelings, but. the only thing they
cared. for. was money!"
"That ought to have made you loathe
money," Said Stafford, with a smile, and
a certain kind of interest; indeed, it
was difficult not to fees interested in
this beautiful girl, with the face and
form of" a goddess, and, apparently, as
small capacity for emotion.
"Oh, no," she said, languidly; "on
the contrary, it showed me the value of
money. I saw that if I had not been
rich, the daughter of a. rich man,. ' I
should have been' of no account hi their
eyes. They were always professing to
love me, but. I was quite aware that it
was only because I was rich enough to
he able to buy.pleasure for thein."
"Unpleasant kind of people," re-
marked Stafford.
No; lust the average," she said,
coolly. "Nearly all men and women are
alike -worldly, selfish, self-seeking,
Look at my father," she went on, as
coolly' as before. "Ile thinks of nothing
but money; ho has spent his life fight-
ing, scrambling, struggling for it; and
look at'yours---"
Oh, bold on!" said. Stafford, laugh-
ing, but reddening a little. "You're

"'sift it trite- about the dlteness, I

ferently, that Stafford. was compelled to
take her' sariousiy, -
"Nara a word," he; said, brightlY;
Olen, -with a sudden gra'ity: $L you

est of 'them; if she'd have me, which is
highly improbable,"
Do you mean to say that you'' have
no ambition,' that You would marry for

Stafford stopped rowing for : a mo-
ment and looped at her grimly.
"What on earth else ,`should 1 marry
fol? he asked. "Wouldn't you?''
Before she could answer, the. steamer
came abreast of, them, and so' close that
the swell from its screw set the slight,
narrow skiff dancing -and pluziging on
the waves.
Maude uttered 'a feint cry and
forward, and Stafford; fearing she was
going . to rise,' stretched out his hand,
and touching- lier knee, forced lier into
her -seat again, and Iropt her there un-
til the swell had subsided: The color
flooded her face at the pressure of his
strong hand, which ' was like a steel
weight, and she caught her.+: breath.
Then, as he took his hand away, end re-
sumed rowing, he said:
I; beg your pardons. I wase afraid
you were going to get up -a girl 1 glace
had in a boat did so and we upset."
"The boat is very small," she.: mid, ,in
a low voice, alni:,st one of apology
" Oh It's all right, so long as' you sit
still, and keep your head," she said. '"It
could ride over twice as big, a. swell as

and. as. if she could .not meet las eyes,
she glanced back with an .affeetaiirn of
interest at the steamer. 'As she 'die so,

lake.
"What was that?" she said. "Some-
thing fell overboard."
"Ha? A man, do you mean?" he ask-
ed, stopping,
"Oh, no; something small."
"A parcel, somebody's. lunch, per-
haps,": he said; and he rowed on.
She' leant back, her eyes downcast;
she still seemed to` feel that strong ir-
resistible pressure of his hand under
which she had been unable to move.
"There ought to be an echo some-
where here," he said, as they came op-
posite one of the :hills, an$ •Ile gave the
Australian 'coo -eel'" in a clear, ringing
voice, which the echo sent 'back in a
musical imitation.
"How true it was!" she said!" and
she opened her lips and -sang a bar or
two .of the "Elsie" song.
Stafford listened to the echo, which
was almost as soft and sweet as the
girl's notes.
"What a wonderful voice you haves"
he said, almost unconsciously. ""I never
heard 'a sweeter. 'What, was. that you
sang?„
"That thing of Wagner's," • she re-
plied; and quite naturally she began the
air and sang it through.
Stafford let the boat drift and leant
upop they oars, his eyes'fxed on her face,
a rapt and very eloquent admiration in
his own.
"Ah-beautifull" he'said in a low
voice, '"What a. delight it must he to

which flowed like silver front her soft,

drew a long breath and'}still leant for-
ward looking at her. •
'Thank you, • thank you!" he said,

in his voice that, •as if to apologise for
it, he said: "I'm fond of music. But
I'm.forgetting your tea. Shall we pull
back to the 'Ferry Hotel' and get

"I'm in your hands," she replied,
languidly.
He turned the boat and pulled back

Delirium,
When all parts of the brain work
properly together, our conscious-
ness of what isoin oil in
the world` round os is'an orderly
one; thinggs;are, as the doctors say,
"properly 000rdinated." But . if
that co-ordination is distnrbed, the
consciousness gets muddled, 'things
lose their relation to one another,
and everything becomes topsy-tur-
vy. That condition is celled deli-
rium, fromthe'Latin word for ca',zy.
and it is not a disease in itself, but
a ,symptom that may complicate
many diseases... •
It may aeconipany some grave
brain trouble, such as abscess or
tumor, and it is seen in many forms
of insanity. In the form of deli-
rium tremens, it follows -acute pois-
oning by alcohol Then there are
deliriums that complicate such
acute infectious diseases as typhoid
fever, pneumonia, diphtheria, and
scarlet fever.. Moreover, delirium
is often produced by poisons in the
system; not only by poisons taken
into 'the system, but by poisons
formed by the . system itself, as in
various kidney diseases, in which
the body loses its usual power to
eliminate its injurious • products or
to counteract them chemically.
There is also the delirium of col-
lapse, which is seen in the later
stages of .starvation or of extreme
exhaustion.
The cause that underlies a case
of delirium must first be found, be-
cause the treatment will vary in
accordance with it, Few of us are
called on to deal with delirium tre-
mens or with the delirium of star-
vation, or with that terrible form
known as acute delirious mania,
which generally ends in death. But
the delirium that accompanies ty-
phoid fever, pneumonia, or the
acute infectious' fevers of childhood
is of common occurrence, and it is
well to know that much jean be
dine to prevent it, or to bring re;
lief after it has begun. Sedative
treatment, euch as, .a warm bath
with cord applications to the head,
will .often ward off' an attack; but
when there is great prostration of
strength, stimulation 'id usually ne-
cessary. Delirium is always ex-
hausting; .see that the patient's
strength is kept up as far as pos-
sible. And never leave a delirious
patient alone, •even for a minute.
There are; too many eases of sick
people falling from open windows.
The'Care of the Aged.
We are all of us eager er to make
the last years of those who are near
and dear to us .as happy and com-
fortable .as possible, Old age, even
when the health remains good,
brings certain obvious .disabilities.
As the old person has to give up
one activity after another, the
days grow longer and more barren,
especially for those who find it dif-
ficult to sleep more than four or five
hours a•night. The ennui of the aged
is a+pitiful thing. But much can be
done to taf^leviate it.
Sometimes the habit of waking in
-tile middle of the night can be
traced to the wrong sort of 'supper,
or to 'tea or coffee or tobacco. Old
people do not like to give up the
habits of a lifetime, and it is not
wise to change those habits sud-
denly. But they ,can be, gradually
modified. Occasionally it is an ex-
cellent thing to give a little stimu-
lant in 'hot water just before going
to bed. In cases where the strength
is seriously impaired, it should be
given after the person is actually
in bed. Poor circulation is a fre-
quent cause of restless sleep. That
can be helped by wearing warm
lamb's wool socks or by sleeping
with warm water bottles.
If the digestion is disturbed, es-
pecially at night, try the .slow sip-
ping of a glass of warm water with
a little bicarbonate of soda dissolv-
ed in it. Old people often drift
into the habit of taking no exercise
of any kind; that is a mistake. Only
those who take a little exercise
every day can keep in a reasonable
condition of health. If the weather
is bad, a few minutes' gentle exer-
cise several times a day will help
to maintain health and prevent the
stiffening of the muscles.
Some very old people are afraid
,of an open window. To nag them
about the necessity of ventilation
usually does more harm than good,
but as they move from one room to
another during the day it is gener-
ally possible to give a thorough air-
ing to the room they have just left.
The clothing of old people should
be light, but warm, and always
loose. Daily. but not prolonged,
massage is u' ful; it occupies the
attention of the aged; it rests
them, and at the same time gives
then gentle exercise.: Youth's
