The ten minutes c,loguated t.m-
eelvee; she could hear faint mur-
murs of the two lovers she yeas be-
friending and abetting; she saw the
man to whom ehhe hail engaged her,
self for this dance wanthring about
with the disconsolate air of a man
who has lost hie partner ; then sud-
denly she became aware of a buzz,
a ,stir of surprise and excitement,
that peculiar movement and expres-
sion of n crowd which the report-
ers describe as "a. sensation.' ”
She ,saw the dowagers and other
wallflowers at the upper end of the
room stare et the entrance, and
then put their heads together, and
heard a man near her, but ignorant
of her proximity, exclaim :
"No 1 It can't be, by Jove 1 Well, I'm
-- but it is, though !"
Roused from her reverie, she put
the curtain asides, and so gained a
view of the entrance, and saw a tall
figure standing before the stewards,
who had evidently flocked forward to
receive him. '
She had no need to look twice. It
was the marquis. The fan suddenly
became motionless in her hand, and
she knew that the color had left her
face. His presence was so unexpected
that it was almost like an appari-
tion, and it affected her very much
as an apparition would have done.
She shrank back behind the curtain
BABY'S HEALTH..

and, deaf now to the murmurs of the
lovers, watched him.
In his evening dress he seemed al-
most a stranger to her. She had al-
ways associated him in hor mind with
the well-worn suit of tweed in whioh
she had seen nine on bosh the oeca-
sioas on which they had met. She had
thought lane distinguished -looking
then ; sale felt now that in the regu-
lation social garb he towered above
his fellows, with that air which birth
and breeding seize as it were without
effort.
Ho stood just in•sido the entrance,
responding to the civilities of the
stewards with a polite, half+ -wearied
smile; then he made his way slow-
ly town rd the upper end of the room.
As he went slowly between the
dancers and the promenaders, he
looked to right ;and left as 1f in
search of some one, and Elaine no-
ticed that even as he bowed over
Lady Banister's hand his penetrat-
ing oyes seemed to wander beyond
her ladyship's eye -glasses.
Holding the curtains round her,
Elaine watched him closely, and
presently •saw Lady i3,lanche gild-
ing toward him.
The two stood talking together for
it minute or two, as if they were old
friends or acquaintances; then sud-
denly she belt May's hand upon her
arm.
"Is the ten minutes up, dear ?" she
said in a rapturous whisper. "How
good you have been 1 Gerald and I
will never forget it, anti-."
She stopped suddenly, and stared
beyond Elaine; and Elaine, turning
her head, found ,the marquis by her
side. She tried to greet him with
a smile of polite indifference, but
the smile would not come, and she
could only extend her hand with a
silence that seemed almost cold and
repelling.
"Are you surprised to see me,
Mass Delaine?" lie said, his dark
eyes fixed on her with an expres-
sion difficult to describe; it and the
tono of his -voice seemed to indicate
a pleasure w-bich .ho was trying to
conceal.
" Surprised?" faltered Elaine. "Yes.
Did you -not say that you never went
to balls?"
" I did. I do not," he responded.
"I haat no intention until last night
of coming here, but suddenly I
thought ]how .Q;oed it would be to
see"—he paused a second, and`tbough
hs had not spoken the word, it seem-
ed as if his eyes said "you 1"-•-" a

"1 the, a conspiracy " he said.
"What has this young lady been
doing, Miss Elaine ? And why are
you abetting her, may one ask ?"
Elaine took May's hand and waved
Gerald Locke back to the• balcony.
" This is •a very dear friend of
mine, Lord Nairne, and—"
"I understand," said the mar-
quis, with a swift glance at May's
cl7lwncast bluelaing face; "and site

said Elaine, quickly, "Oh', dear,
what shall. we do ? She will take
May, home, I'm )afraid."
The; marquis nodded at May very
much as an eider brother might
have done.
"Run away and hide," he said to
her in a low voice. Then to Elaine,
"Introduce me to the lady,. We will
save your pretty Attie friendfrom, a
scolding if wo can."
She griffin was coming toward
them with her talons extended, so to
speak, and Elaine, scarcely, knowlug
whether to laugh or tremble,
waited for her.
"Have you seen May recently, Miss
Delaine?" she asked, severely, her
plumes nodding in the faint breeze,
'her eyes searching Elaine's face sus-
piciously.
"Mrs. Bradley, I believe ?" said
the marquis, before Elaine 'could re-
ply. "Will you be so good as to in-
troduce me, Miss Delaine?"
"Lord Nairne, Mrs. Bradley," fal-
tered Elaine.
The griffin gave a start of as-
tonishment, and swept him a grati-
fied courtesy.
"Aro you looking for your sis-
ter, Mrs. Bradley ?" he asked suave-
ly. "Let me help you. I've no doubt

The two lovers managed to clasp

each other's eyes, then fled, and
Elaine was left alone.
Should she wait as be had asked
her ? Why should she? What right
had he to ask her ? Was he going
to ask her to dance ? She had al-
most resolved to go When he came
toward her.
" You have waited," he said.

met casually, both being, of course,

to see his old school friend, appar-
ently forgot for the moment what
discipline required of him, and made
a motion to a'.hake hands with Huss-
ner ; then, remembering himself, turn-

y
Writes on War
In the Independent of April 16th is
art artlole oat the horror of war, by
Count Leo Tolstoy, now printed in
America for the first time. It was
written in 1889 as a preface to a
volume of "Recoileetions of Seva,sto-
poi," by A.' G. Brame, a, Russianof-
fleer, who served with Lieutenant
Tolstoy; in the Crimean war, but it
was not approved by tbe Russian
censor, and so it was not printed.
Recently; it has been .published in
England in the Russian language, As
it expresses Tolstay,'s mature feel-
ing about war in general, as well
as about the particular war in
which he was engaged, it is of mare
than passing interest.
The reading of Ershof's book m'a,de
a very strong impreesiotn on Tolstoy.
It caused him to re-experience with
the author what they, both had lived
through thirty, -four years before.
"We then experienced," he says,
"what the author describes—the hor-
ror of war but we also experienced
a mental condition the author hard-
ly describes at all."
A lad, fresh from the Cadet's' Col-
lege, finds himself in Sevastopol. A
few months ago he was as merry
and happy, as girls aro the day, af-
ter marriage. It seems but yesterday
that he first donned the officer's un-
iform an expert tailor had skillfully
padded with wadding, arranging the
thick °loath and the shoulder -straps
so as to mask the boyish and still
undeveloped chest and give It a brave
appearance. 1: seems but yesterday,
that he put on that uniform and
drove to the hair -dresser's to
have hie hair curled and pomaded
and his incipient moustaches acen-
tuated with fixative, and that, clank-
ing the saber attached to his gilt
belt against the steps, with his cap
on ono side, he walked down the
street. * ° °
Only yesterday he met a lovely
girl; they spoke of trifles, the lips of
both were wreathe) in smiles, and
he knew that she (and not she only,
but hundrede of other girls a thou-
sand times better even than she)
might, and must, love him. It all
seems to have happened but yester-
day. It may have been trivial and
absurd and cancelted, but it was all
innocent, and therefore pleasing.
"Go and Let Your seLI' be Wailed."
And now he is in Sevastopol, and
he suddenly sees that something is
not right ; something is happening
that is not at all as it should be.His
commander calmly tolls 'him that he
—he whose mother so loves him, and
from whom not: eke along but all
)(aye expected so much that is good
—that he, with ail his special and
incomparable bodily and mental ex-
cellencies, Is to go where men are
}:ming killed and crippled. The com-
mander does not deny that he is
the same. youth wham all love and
must love, and whose lite is to him
more important than anything else
in the world. The commander does
not deny this, but simply says: "Go
and let yourself be frilled." His heart
contracts with a eatable fear; the
fear of death and the fear of shame;
but, pretending that it is all the
same to nim weather he goes to
death or remains here, he gets
ready with a show of interest in
what he is going for, and even in his
belongings and bed. He goos to the
place where men aro killed, and
hopes it ie only said that mean are
killed there, but that really that is
fiat tbe ease and things will turn
out otherwise. But half an hour at
the bastion ie, ample to shote that
the reality is more terrible and un-
bearable than he expected. Ile sees
a man radiant with joy and blooming
with health. Suddenly something
splashes and thin man tumbles over
into a neighboring heap ed excre-
ments --a terrible example of suffer -
leg and remora() and an exposure of
all that is being done there. It is
awful—it will not do to look at it
or Ito think abo'u't it. But it is im-
possible not to think.
His thinking runs after this fashion:
"That time it .happened to him, soon
it will linppen to mo. Howe; is it ? Why
Ist it ? :i"hy slwuld they do it to me—
to me who was so good, so nice, so
dear, not only to my nurse, not only
to my mother, not only to 'her; but
to so many people --almost to every -
bo ?"
Anddy a moment later he reflects:
"Whether I shall to -day be what
be n•ow is noone cares; on the con-
trary it seems almost as if they
wished it. Yes, I—even I --am not
wanted by anyone. But if I am not
wanted, why am I here ?" ,

Tolstoy's conclusion, after resale
ing Ershof's book, is this: "We
should be told what it is that
causes soldiers to suffer and die,,
that we may know, and understand„
and destroy these causes.
Suffering and Death Not tine Worsts
"War 1 How terrible," people say',.
"is war, with its wounds, bloodshed
and death. We must organize a reds:
cross society to alleviate the wounds
suffering and pains of death."
It is not the suffering and mutt's,
tion and death of man's body that
most needs to be diminished—It'
is the mutilation and death o! hia
soul. Not the Red Cross is needed, bntt°
the simple crass oI Christ to destroy)
falsehood and deception. * ° *
Tolstoy concludes by speakiing of
his advice to a cadet of the military}
college not to drink wine. The lath
• replied:
"But in mili.taryE service it is some-
times necessary." I thou'g'ht he
meant necessary, for bealth and
strength, and I intended tri..
nniphantly eau overthrow him bgy
proofs from experience and science,
but he eon'tiaued :
"Why, at Geok-Tepe, for instance,
when Skobelef had to massacre the
inhabitants, the soldiers did not wish
to do it, and he h'ad drink serred'out,
and then--" Here are all the hor-
rors of war—they are in this lad
watt his fresh young face, his little
shoulder straps (under which the endti
of his bashlik are 90 neatly tucked),
his well -cleaned boots, his naive
eyes, and his conception of life so
perverted.
This is the real horror of war:
What millions of Red Cross work -
ere could heal the wounds that
swarm in that remark—the result
of a whole education.
Hard on the Minister.
A Scottish parish minister was one
day making calls, and when about to
knock at a cottage door was hailed
by, a childish voice thus: "Theer's
nnebody in there," and. turning
round, became aware that a six-
year-old boy was behind him, having
ruin up from where he had been play-
ing on the mini'ster's approach. "Oh;
there's nobody in, my little man,"
said the minter. "No, there's nae -
body in there," reiterated the boy.
Then, after a. good look at the minis-
ter, came the disconcerting query,
"Fat Ls't ye're sellisi'? Is't specs ?"' ,

Too (creat a Strain for the Nerves—Dr. Chase's Nerve Food
So many school girls and school
boys, too, are pale, languid and run
down in health, sabjc+•et to weak
spalls and nervous headache, and
victims of sloeplessness, that we no
longer realize the folly of develop-
ing the anlnd at the expense of
the body.
It is on the mothers and fathers
that falls the responsibility of
looking after the health of their
children, and to therm we suggest
the wisdom of having the health
of their children kept at the high
water mark by using Dr. Chase's
Nerve Food.
This great food cure is so gentle
and natural in action as to be ad-
mirably -spited to the require -
meets of children The benefits to

" One of my children tees suffered
a great deal with nervous head
aeltes, dizziness and sieeplessnees,
and, in feet was all run down, pale
and languid. These troubles were
attributed to overstudy a:nri con-
finement at school. She began us-
ing Dr. Chasid's Nerve Food, and I
can say that wo lr;aava fou,]d this
treatment exceedingly helpful. It
has relieved her of boaciache,steade

system wonderfully, We can see
a great change in her, as the col-

she is gaining in fickle and weight.*
