You are not strong enough to gut the rope, or yet to hold the body. yes," answering the question he the girl's eyes, "1 will stay and hold her up y while you are gone. Hurry, Nina, hurry ! t • . - A horror crept over Esther's soul, left there alone. The candle cast weird shad- ows across the room e the awful form hung heavy on her hands. •She shuddered, as she noticed that Nina had left the hlOor ajar. What terrible creature from theblack be- yond might not chine . in and seize her? yet what more featful than to be shut in with this? " Jesns is with You." Who 'whispered his?t' The Spirit of Truth" :who takes of the !things of Christ. She lifted her heart with a prayer that God ' would send the right sort of help, and save ' this would-be suicide: But her . Posieion made her dizzy ; the few moments she was left there seemed hours. Then she caught sight of a man's figure, dim, as in the dis- tance; felt some one - beside her on the ta.ble ; heard a clear, deep, thelodions voice, • which she meld but obey, saying: "Don't strain. I am able to take most Of the weight and ent the kn t, too.". e A few minutee laterlshe was standing be- side the bed, where let the slender form of the rescued woman. Something struck Esther's hand as the woman's form had fa.11en towards her, but she did not notice it, or that it lodged in the lace at her throat. -Her hands eagerly undid the fastenings -of the woman's dress, seeking her heart. . "See, there is no mark on her throat. She may yet live. But we need a doctor," she cried, almost as excited ILS the girl be- side her, though far more collected.. But the voice of the stranger Stopped Nita ,on her way to the door. . "Stop," he eaidh "1 am a physician. That is right," turning to Esther, " always lay the head ef the patient lower than . the body in a case Of suspension of respiration." And he began to apply restoratiVes with unquestioned skill: - After,awhile there was a little twitching . of the mouth, a shiver as if a chill had struck the body, and presently the wide, blue eyes opened, and fixed themselves on the doctor's face. . "Thank God !" came reverently from the bearded lips as the physician bent his ear to note her breathing. Then he sat down, and took her wrist in his hand: The night was chill, and there was no fire. Esther had not noticed this, until now that the doctor pointed to the scatter- ed embers with an imperative, " You need a fire." She roe then, and with Nina's help, -soon had a litIble blaze. " That's better. N'Ve must not lose our senses utterly. Yoa will both be ill, if ' you, are not more careful," he saki. Then consulting his watch, " I must leave here in a few minutes. Tam sorry that it -is im-' possible for me to, remain. The patient will need good care, avoid all excitement - she has sustained some great shock ?" .look- ing at Esther half -questioningly. "I do not know: I cannot tell; I never saw her before to -night;" she replied, to his evident surprise. "Pardon me. I took you for -a friend, possibls- a relative. You seemed much in- terested in her recovery." • "As you did, Doctor, as every Christian must be interested to save the life- of one who would rush heedlessly into the presence of God." • He looked at Esther keenly -his first . 1 ook.

"If Nina could go and tell Hope, my sis er, so that she need not wotry." ' .-- , . "The child is not fit to go a..nywhere, end she will have to g� out for the medicines. Where is Hope? Perhaps I can deliver the message." 1 "Oh, if you would I" She met his kindly eves and half -smiling lips. "1 had forgot- ten, her in this dreadful affair. She may be suffering everythingnow." "1 must leave tie city on the next train, • scat rcely a helf•ho re" he said. "I am not i a r gular physihiate, though I have studied me 'eine.

It may noe be necessary to call another physician. If it should be, yOu will find Doctor Jes- sines, a Christian gentleman as well as skilled in his profession. I will leave you a prescription. If you can remain to -night it will be a great kindness.- This child is nearly ill, exhausted, ande-starved, I fear," lowering his tone. • - He wrote a preseriptioe, and hanied his note -book and pencil to Esther. "Write a few words te yout sister. I will see that it is delivered. Yes, I will de- liver it myself," se&ng how instantly Eether looked disturbed. ' . 'She will have to stay alone, unless - Doctor, will you be passing H-- Cor- poration?" . "1 can take it on my way." "If you would leave just a word for Miss Spinkham,No. 11." " Write it. I will take it." Eether passed him the tiny notes. He handed her . the prescription -with a ten - dollar bill done up in itis folds. He met her inquiving eyes. " They will need it. They must have ' medicine and food," he said kindly. "Now I must go. Keep the woman quiet, Give the.girl some- thing to eat. Good evenin g !" - "Good 'evening !"

A woman finds ample compensation for her trials and wor- ries and bothers in the soft, clinging littlEl body nestling close to. her -own -in the trustful clinging of the little hands, and the love light in the little. eyes. A woman's 'health is her dearest pos- se.ssior. Good looks, good tiines, happi- ness, love and its continuance, depend On her health. Almost all of the sick- ness of 'I.Voineri is tractable directly or indi- rectly to some derangement of the organs distinctly -feminine. Troubles of this kind are often neglected because avery natural and proper. modesty keeps women away from physicians, whose insistence upon ex- amination and local treatment is generally as useless as it is common.

But a thought of the doc• tor's honest brown eyes detained ' her, and she teirned back to the hungry girl am Laing her return. It was a long night. The woman gave little sign of consciousness, • though evi- dently somewhat disturbed by Nina's out- bursts of ,sorrow. "Poor Leel! One broken reed, one heartsore Leel! At length Nina slept, and Esther watched alone. The dawn was struggling through tbe window when the weary girl awoke, and re- leased Esther, who after many charges that she should administer the medicine aright, left, promising to return at night. And Nina's doleful wail had a strain of cheerier measure as she bent above the sick wo- man. "Poor Leell One broken reed !

Oa returning it to Nina, the girl begged het to keep it. ' "It has been only evil to Us. That hand- some face has been Leel's ruin. Oh, that I should say it, for he is my own -my broth- er!

She look- ed at it, and grew mad! : She looked, and hung to die! Oh, don't ever let her see it again -don't !" So Esther hid it away iii a littl'e box, in the bottom of her trunk, never showing it ; even to Hope. , , The woman raved constantly. And one cry smote on Esther's heart as disl no oth- er, arousing suspicions. not easily laid to rest. It was this, repeated, -oh ! so many times, with such beseeching tenderness: "Gernon, Gernon, give me my babe -my little babe ! Oh,1 where is the little child !" . However Soothed, she always returned to this subject. ".111y poor lost little one ! Gernon, give me tny child !" . , Yet Nina, when questioned, shook her head, declaring she was crazy -she ho.a no child, never -heal!, No ; Gernon could! not be so bad as that s Amon°. the Sick woman's vagaries was .this ; se always called Esther " Mary," 'mistaking her for another. And When no other hand could control, no other voicb soothe, Esther's could.- - So through the two weeks that- fLlowed, she was often by that couch. And every day Nina whispered Some fresh secret, re- vealed to her from that hidden life, and wondered more.and more at the power ac- tuating all its forces, till at length she un- derstood it bet-er, and to the sick woman's query, made a few days after her restora- tion to consciouSness, "Nina, what makes that girl so different from everybody else?" she answered God" promptly; :" Esther , has a '. Many talks these two had had beside that sick -bed. At first her sister's danger swallowed up every other consideration with the girl. But after a little, the sha,me, and poverty and wretchedness of their surround - lugs seemed more than she , could bear, and she broke out occasionally into terrible la- mentations and rebellions. "Nina," Esther said to her after one such outbreak, "the dear Lord lives, and loves, and pities you. You must learn to pray." "1 jis&1 to pray-, Gernon used to pray - what oed ?" and she laughed fiercely. "He is one stone, this God. He has forg tten,or be neer was."

Ah, llen, how fallen, we once so proud ! e, no gold, nothing to pay ! You good -you have no right. "I have the right all of God's children have to care for the helpless," Esther re- plied, while'in heart she questioned how far that right extended. As Mrs. Nestor recovered, Esther watch- ed sharply for any intimation of feeling when her n me should be mentioned. The 8. patient start d a little, repeating it softly. "It is no a very common name, but I have heard i • before," she said quietly. - Very cautiously Esther questioned Nina as to her sister's name before merriage, but without results. ' 1 She did not know -she had not thought. Gernon never spoke of her people; Leel never didq Yes, her name was C'elia, but Gernon celled her Leel when first she came to sunny !France. She only cared for that name no*. Poor Leel! she loved him so. Once, When the woman was first recover- ing, Esther, singing a hymn softly as she stepped about the room, was conscious of great blue eyes following her eagerly. Smiling up to them, a she ceesed, th 0 wo, I man said, i I "It sounded like hoe." i "You had a Chr.stian home, then?" Esther asked gently, , i She shook her head, e 'ruling the question.- " I had Christian fri rids, No one is to blame but myself." So Esther gave no ,voi e to her suspicions, and kept on her way, waiting for further developments. She visited them often, al- ways with kind, cheery words, often with more substantial comforts; for h she taxed her purse to the utmost, that these poor ones need not suffer. And the two in that humble home learned to look forward to her coming, to almost invite her words of Christian trust,, to wholly believe in the sweet religiousness of her spirit, and to think more kindly of Christ, of God, because•of her unwavering faith. CHAPTER X. OCEAN'S OF FUN". • Spring grew into fulness and declined; summer came with blue June skies and warm breezes and now this month of months waned to its close; and Hiram -.wrote for one of the girls. • Jennie's failing health made her duties too onerous; she muse have help, and pre- ferred one of her sisters. He magnan- imously added that the work done would pay for Uncle Howard's board, and he would give Achor anything. she might need for the summer; and 'Hope, laughin at Hiram's liberality ; prepared to answe • the call, for so Esther decided. Independence accompanied Hope a far as C . She had friends in that eigh- borhood, and needed a rest. An accit aint- ance gladly supplied her place in the mill, and she departed, promising to return in a few weeks. The change from the close mill to fresh .country air made even work delightful, and - Hope wrote to Esther "that she earned all her keep, and enjoyed all her earn, and should be wholly satisfied if she could but hug her occasionally." - She had been at home only a few days when she decided to go strawberrying with Aehor when the • after-dinner work was done, leaving Jennie to take a nap with W thHai l tle,i le . sister laughetin-pail in hand, piesented itself at laughed at the ridicolous figure the appointed time. . ".If it was -anybody but you, Hope, in such a rig, I should pronounce her a fright," she said. "My poor old sunbonnet nearly swallows you. Why couldn't you dress a little?" • " I want to .have a good time -climb fences, wade broaks, and forget I was ever in a mill; that's reason number one. Num- ber teVo is, my nicely starched calico is too good for such purposes; I've been living with Esther this year past, and studying economy. Confess that I am profiting by her example." And Hope swung her pail in adieu. Jennie shook her head at the laughing face turned towards her from the stone wall a moment after, and disappeared into the house, while the two girls pursued their way to the berry lot. A fine -time they had, and "oceans of fun," to quote•Hope's words. She had chat- tered like a squirrel, piped like a bird, imi- tated the crow's " caw, ' and danced -like a fairy, but she ca -me to a sudden standstill when a gentlemap's form appeared- around the base of a kei-on. "Bless mei who can Ile be ?" she ques- tioned, dropping to the grass, apparently absorbed with the berries. "Why, it's our new minister. He's been across lots to :strike the roads sooner," said Aeh or. Then Hepe took a little upward squint, and fell industriously to work as the gentle- man' e eye e were turned in their direction. What'a poor unfortunate I am !" she said dolefully. "I wonder if he saw the • whble performance? He'll take me for a wild Indian or some such heathen if he did, and have a duty to discharge in my int rest." • ut Achor only replied, `• He is so nice," whle her face flushed with 'pleasure as he bowed. Is he? well, I wish he had kept out of the way, though Jennie may oount him a blessing in disguise. I had really forgot- ten my berry dish, and it must be nearly time to return." . • When they did return, the Iminister was sitting in the parlor, conversing with Jen- nie. But dear, 'unconscious, absurd Hope, never dreaming of such a possibility., thrust her head; disguised by the huge sunbonnet, into the doorway, with: 1 "Would you be liking a Ifew berries. mum? They be fresh and hoice, if ye plaze," "Be off with you !" replied Jennie, di- vided between vexation and merriment. And i'Hope still unenlightened, her sun - blinded eyes having been of little service in the darkened room, started -leisurely for the dining -room, singing, "Who'll buy my strawberries ?".followed by her sister, try- ing vainly to quiet her. "Such a jolly time !" she cried, every word conveyed to the ears of the gentle- man in the other room, through the open window, though careful Jennie had shut the door between. "Oceans of fun, and, 0 Jennie !" unheeding her sister's `push !" as pointed to the parlor door, " :e met the parson, or rather he stumbled upoine us just Achor and I" -and the gentleman listening, heard a little gurgle, followed by a gasp, as if some one was being stifled, and guessed truily that Mrs. Roper had put her hand over Hope's mouth. "Jennie Roper! how dare you? As if • that baby of yours was the Only inorta1 who had rights in the world. It is time his nap was over, anyway, if he is to sle p any to- night. I believe you are only twe letters removed from a Z, Jennie ;"-- eLnd Hope crossed her'fingera in the shape of an X. "Hope," Jennie's voice was lohe and in- tended only for her sister's ease, "Hope, there:is a gentleman in the other room." "A what?" in feigned astonisliment. "A gentleman, and in 0—! • I did ; not know it contained so rare_ 'a specimen of the genus'homo," persisted Hope. . - "Hope, do be sensible. Our minister is in the parlor." ' Then the gentleman heard a decided "Bless me! Are you in earnest? Did he see me stick this ridiculous sun -bonnet into the room? It is large. He could .not see my face: Perhaps -oh! ray of comfort -he took me for a veritable berry woman. Well, I shall not have to see him: that's re com- fort.' e's awaiting your return. I told him you: would be home presently. I'm so sorry." • - "Have me excused, that's a duck."' "I can't. have asked him to wait. If only you had taken some other time for your pranks. I- did wish you to make a good impression." "As if I ever made any other ! There, there, you dear Mrs. Roper. Go in and,en- tertain the Reverend. 1 will be down in a jiffy, so astonishingly lovely as o dissipate any lingering doubt the dear old gentleman may entertain respecting the identity, of the berry woman. You know I am irresistible when I will to be, and 1 will to. be to -day." .And Hope flitted up -stairs with never an an idea that all the wo ds had been con eey- ed to the ears of the en3on of whom she spoke, who had shifted his seat to the win- dow -let us hope with no intention of eavesdropping. Be that as it may, there was -a merry twinkle in Mr. Campbell's eyes, when, a few minutes later, Hope appeared at the door, bewilderingly charming. It was hard to believe that the daintily- robed figure, with glowing face and shining ringlets, was the sun -bonneted berry woman of a few flao..

Hope's pre ty, saucy face flushed hotly at finding this s pposed elderly gentleman her young cleric 1 acquaintance, - but she re- covered hers If immediately. "1 am s arcely more surprised than pleased to meet you again, Mr. Campbell," she said in her easy way, and he answered so happily, hongratulating• her on her re- turn to country air and sports, that she guessed immediately that he understood her secret.he •She lifted her berry -tinted fingers with a laugh, inviting him to remain to supper and taste the fruit of her afternoon's expedi- tion. And- Jennie was only too happy to second her request. Edward Campbell found his way often after that to the farm house. It was re- freshing to drop for awhile his duties where the light-hearted, innocent mirth 0 this j girl made everything so cheerful. Her mirth was contagious, and in her p esence he laid aside every burden that eighed upon his life, and forgot for a time, ti e sor- rows thronging his pathway. Tender, gentle, sympathetic, his life ab- sorbed naturally the woes of others, ' nd as- sumed the burdens weighting the souls on whom he ministered. Had it not been for the vein of humor, inherited from his fath- er, he would have broken down early be- neath the peculiar trials which are a pas- tor's heritage. Just now, too, unexpected circumstances were developing in his field, and- telling sadly upon his sensitive nature. This bright young life, with its spring and gaiety, burst in upon the gathering shadows and scattered them, surprising that side of his nature susceptible to mirth, and resting him continually. So, unconsciously, ' he sought Hope's side often. He was in the parlor one day, waiting for Hope, -and Achor sat at the window sewing. He had been examining a book which lay on the table, 1 gift from Esther to the child. On the front page was written, "To my little sister Aehor, from Esther," and the little girl had added the letter N after her name. "It must make a p easant difference to I you, Achor, having yot r sister at home," he said, looking towards the quiet little fieu,re. "Hope is het my sister," was the grave reply. "She is Esther's sister, Hope Ertts," was the quiet reply. "And yeti are Esther's `little sister.' 1 That is what she cans you," tapping the book significantly. "Yee ; she calls me• that, but I am not her sister; she has only Jennie and Hope." "And you r, he etopped inquiringly. "1 am nobody's ,.•liild or sister. That is what the N means j I put it there."

' AYOID GRAVE DANGERS. , Never neglect your trouble in its minor forms -Never despair at any stage- Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure. It, is far easier to prevent than to cure the serious forms and complications of kid- ney disease. We don't say this because we doubt the efficacy of Dodd's Kidney Pills, but it is better to avoid the wear and tear by curing at the minor stage with a single box. The dangers of every sufferer are -of a three -fold nature :-Not to know what aft to neglect when he knows; and to despai ' when everyone says he is going to, die./ If you are not posted in the syrhptoms of kidney disease,write to the Dodd's Mediei0 i Company, Toronto, Ont., for their callenda !fen. 1897. It will cost you only a postal car , and is worth a hundred. If you suffer and neglect kidney disease remember that nineteen out of every twent deaths result from this disease and tha • every such death is prevented by usin Dodd's Kidney Pills. To those,who suffer and despair of cure, we -briefly say: • We have never yet heard of Dedd's Kidney Pills failing to cure. We have letters from more than a thousand who were cured when given up by physicians and friends. We have published many scores of such letters and the writers are still living in health and comfort. Over one hundred -thousand persons in Canada have been cured of kidney disease in its simpler forms -cured by from one to three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. • Dod 's Kidney Pills will cure any kidney diseas . If in need of kidney treatment don't iermit yourself to buy anything short of the original and genuine, Why should you trir experiments to benefit those who say thy have something "just as good ?" • -Mrs. H.
