Mi=ed 1 Goyiozm Greosx 40c Slaoealad be • rifts, .sift for time Reed Label Darcy Lonsdale had contrived to send Itis son to Oxford, and at Ox- ford he had distinguished himself as a scholar of no mean abilities; af- ter that he had passed some time in London, and now he was with his father, eharing his labors and toils, and working hard, hoping one day to secure a partnerehfp, and then to marry Violet. He had once thought of leaving Lilford; he had felt the place was but small„ the circle of in- terests limited. Then be put aside the thought as a temptation ; he must not desert his father or leave his business to the hands of strangers. There was something almost heroic to the way in which he looked round %spot tho great, bright, glittering world, with its magnificent battle-. fields of skill and inteffect, its great arenas where mind and brain fought mind and brain, and then said to himself ; "No, my duty lies at home, and{ I will work there." Ha was singularly gifted, this young Englishman, who was brave enough to make duty his guide. Peo- ple often looked at him. in wonder, asking themselves whence bad come his clear-cut face—a face of the pur- est type with Clark clustering Nair that waved back from! a low, broad brow—his beautiful mouth, that could be rigid and' firm, yet often wore a smile as sweet as a woman's, the dark eyes that were as true and eloquent as the soul they revealed. It was a poetical face, yet combin- ing with the intellectual and the Weal something of the practical keenness of the clever men. Darcy Lonsdale formed great hopes for his son ; Iso had rightly estimat- ed his abilities, and he had said to himself that it is time the best busi- ness of the county was brought to him. Hr` himself was industrious, hon- est, and In some degree a good law- yer, but his eon, was a genius, and the father told hin;xrelf with a sigh that in these days a touch of genius was needed before one could make a murk in the. world. As a Felix had youth, ved Violet and Etamve— to win her, to make her his wife, bad been the one dream of his life. Be had had no other, and it was equally certain that up to the present time his love had brought him far more pain than -pleasure, far more tor- I ment than raft, far more strife than ' peace. He could never tell whether beau- ttrul Violet eared for him or not. All the country' side knew that he loved her. It seemed to him that the very I HEALTH FOR BABY IN WINTER.

It had never been a ;secret ; but he could not guess whether she oared for him. If ever he telt hopeful and argued much from a kinder word or a sweeter smile tban usual, the next time she saw him, Violet would be void. She was so proud that he could hardlyextort a word from her ; and yet he had a dim idea, a faint conviction, that she preferred him to any other. Now was his opportunity'. Be was already making a lair income by writing reviews and essays. If his tattier took him into partnership, his share. tbougb perhaps small at first. would be certain, and would increase. Now was his opportunity ; he would delay no longer, but would at once e *c Violet Ha,ye to be his wife. "It seems altnost too good to be true," he thought to himself, " that I should win the girl I love for my wife ; that I should be happy and blessed. What have I done to de- serve It ?" He looked up to the sun- lit skies. "Done," he repeated—"II have done nothing. It is the good- ness of Heaven that has given it to nee. Heaven grants all to industry," he thought, "and while I work I need not fear." In that hour no thought came to him of the storm-slouds that darken men's lives--af the terrible temp - este that rend heart and brain—of the despair that looks for death as relief. He saw only the blue sky and the golden sunshine. He saw nothing but the beauty of the fair earth and the laughing sky when he went to woo Violet Hays and ask her to be his wife. He had been waiting only until he saw a prospect clear and bright before hire. Francis Haze might have objected to a man with an uncertain future; Francis Haye would not object to the junior partner of the old estab- lished house of Lansdale. He was only, twenty-four, and, after selecting a very choice flower for his coat, was to be forgiven if he looked once at his clear-cut face and dark mous- tache.

CH'AP"TTR III. It was a glorious afternoon. The country about Lilford was beauti- ful in the extreme, with lovely, un- dulating !meadows, great chains of green hills that stretched into the far distance, dark, shady woods with sonie of the finest trees in England, lonely, green lanes where wild flowers raised their bright heads. The town itself 'teas quaint and picturesque ; the pretty old-Inshloned houses were almost burled In foliage. The one long main ,street of the town—Cas- tle street—Might have been a Pari - stein boulevard. it was -so regularly. planted with trees. Thle afternoon seemed to Felip onedale ono of the fairest that he ever remembered. He walked throtegh be clover meadows, his heart singg- g for Joy, ,snatches of strong rising WOMAN'S BURDENS.

Among the many friends Dr. Williams' Pini; pub, leve mase there le perhaps cone more enthusiastic in speaking of the pills than Mrs. Edward Atche soil of Orang,eville, out., whto for two years suffered intensely, but at last found a cure ;through the use of ibis remedy. To a reporter of the Oracgevi,de Sun. Mrs. Atcheson said; "Tlisee years ago I became very much run down. My appetite almost vanlstied, I grew pale, was subject to lieadao:es, dizziness, palpitation of the heart and a ringing noise in the ears. I tried several Medicines, but they did not help me, and I was con- sequently much depressed and feared I was doomed to go through life a chronic invalid. One day I read the eure of a woman whose symptoms were almost identical with my own, through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I sent for a box, and by the time it NVIIS finished. I was suffi- ciently encouraged to send for an- other, and so on until I had taken six boos, wlani I was in every sense of the word a different person.

I feel that I owe all this to Dr. Mame' Pink Pink Pills, and I cheerfully recommend them to other weak and suffering women." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a real blessing to all weak, weary women.

Tlne hedges were all pink and white hawthorn, long ,sprays of woodbine twined round the rugged trunks o.f the tall trees, the clover was thick and odorous. He crossed the path at the end of Oakwoods, where he saw most glorious vistas of light and shade, entered a long, green lane, and then he reached the fair green fields that led to The Limes, the home of his love. Presently he saw Violet Iiraye. He gazed at her In mute wonder that earth should hold anything so pair. She carried a little basket filled with flowers, and on her golden head she wore a simple garden hat. Her dress seemed to him a wonderful combina- tion of white and blue. A feel- ing of humility came over him—who wee he that be should hope to win this brilliant young beauty and make her 1118 own ? Then his pride reassert- ed itself, his love ennobled him, he could hope to win her because he loved her so dearly. Violot did not see him. She was walking in the other direction, and ho hastened af- ter bee. It was no wonder that he toyed her ; the smiles with which she greet- ed him would have turned many a wiser brain thin his. "Felix," she cried, "I did not dream of seeing you." "A.nd seeing you, Violet, Is like a ;cream," he replied, "and atter I have left you I think of a hundred things that I wanted to say to you, meant to say, and yet forgot." "That proves that you have a bad memory, Felix," laughed Violet ; "but what has brought you to The Limes on this warm afternoon ?" "I have eorn•e to see you, Violet." "I ought to be much obliged to you," silo replied ; "but the afternoon is a very busy time w,it•li, me. 1 a{ilte'nd to all these flowers myself." "I will help you wrth the flowers, and I hope that I shall be no ob- stacle to your pleasant thoughts Violet," he said. , They walked together until they reached an opening in the lawn; there was a bank gay with wild flowers, a hedge full of wild roses, and hawthorns crowned it. Felix took the basket from her hand and placed her on the bank. "I have come to talk to you, Vio- let." be ,bhald. "You must forget your flowers for a few minutes and listen to me. Such a clay, as this. Violet, was made for a love story. I have an Idea that bverything in nature is in- terested in mine." "Your ideas are not of the or.11n- ary kind," 63tie remarked. "No, they are not, I own. Still, they please me, Violet. I have a. wrest fancy. Shakespeare says all sweet fanelgs'come to lovers." "But we are not lovers, Pelle," ate said, gravely. "Than I hope we soon :Ball have a fancy, Violet, that every bird singing in the trees knows why I am here, that the flowers and sunshine know it." "Then," ob"erved Violet, "they are wiser thein I."
