CHAPTER XVI.
THE LOVE OF A WOMAN.
Mrs. Malcolm knew that things were
amiss between Neil and Katie, but though
she yearned over the girl with the 'yearning
of a mother, the matter was never mention-
ed between them. They had too m ch re-
spect for private feeling to make common
talk of it, and to them reticence was atilt a
virtue worth clinging to. But as time wore
on Mrs. Maleolm found it difficult to
i keep her tongue off Neil, as she saw the
'gradual decay of buoyancy and hope in the
„girl, who took life seriously, and to whom
"love's young dream" had brought little
but complete disillusionment. She was much
Surprit el when Enid Lawrence took Katie
away to the Quill Pen's tea. She was still
more surprined when Katie came back, look-
, ing as if she had seen a ghost.
* le Dear me, lassie," she said, with •some
lisharpnees, " ye have surely been to a very
ll place. Have you had your tea?"
"Yes, auntie.
;
"The air inust have been very bad there.
Drink this at once—not a word."
She poured out a glass of wine with her
owe hand, and held it to her niece's lips.
She revolted from it, but sipped a few drops
obediently, and the colaur stole back faint-
ly to her cheeks.
"Tell me what kind of a plo it was.
Was Neil there?"
Yes, auntie. "
"And a lot ,of writing folk—men and
women—I suppose. Did ye enjoy it ?"
" Not very much. It wee a strange af-
fair, auntie. I can't think what they do it
for." '
" Imphm ! That doesn't tell me much.
Did Miss Lawrence bring you back ?
" Yes. "
41 And where, may V ask, is my lord
Neil?"
"We left him there. He has another
engagement, I think. He said he would
look in this evening about eight o'clock."
"Very kind of him. We will have an-
other engagement, maybe, at eight o'olo k."
Katie faintly smiled, knowing perf ctly
what was in her aunt's mind.
"Not to-nighu, auntie. Neil has s me -
thing to say to me, I think. At least, I
have something to say to him, and it may
be the last time. "
Mrs. Malcolm was silent a moment, eye-
ing her niece keenly, and with the most
solicitous tenderness. The sharpened fea-
tures, the delicate flush, the frail look, all
had been accentuated by the weeks of her
London visit. Sho groaned in spirit, think-
ing of her brother, to whom hi o child was
the very apple of the eye.
I am glad something is to be eaid at
last, " she said with a jerk. " It is not a
day before time."
"Auntie, if after to -night I wish to go
home to -morrow, you will not seek to keep
me here?" said Katie, as she rose to go up
to her room. She suffered her eyes to Meet
steadily the tender yet mournful gaze bent
on her.
"No, Katie ; if yell feel that it is harne
ye would go to -morrow I will not hinder—
only I shall take ye myself. "
A little sob caught Katie' s breath, There
were very tender hearts left yet, and some
true ones.
"What a wonderful woman Miss Law.
rence is, Aunt Grace.. "He will be a hap,
py man who marries her, "she aaid sudden,
ly. " -But I hardly think there could be
one worthy of her.
-" Dear me 1 Do you set her so high,
Katie? iut it's nothing more than others
i
say. Yes! there is a man worthy of her,
lassie, and he would give his life's blood for
her ; but e'll never get her, " she said
with a sig .
"Who ils it, auntie? But perhaps yoa
do not wish to tell me. " .
"1 wish, but I must not. The secret is
not mine'laesie. Now to your bed, and lie
in a darkened room or I bid' ye get up. Ye
will need your strength for eight o'clock.
Yet it is wonderful, just. wonderful, how
the wauf of caller air comes when we need
it. I am not too feared for you, Katie, for
because the Lord bears you, and such as
you for ever in His tender mercy. "
With this benediction Katie laid herself
down quietly upon her , bed, preparing for
the ordeal from which her woman's heart
shrank. To give him up 1 These are not
words to ring sweetly in the ears of the
woman who loves. She had not long lain
down when she heard tbe rattle of a han-
som in the terrace, and she knew that it
stopped at her aunt's door, She took her
watch from under her pillow, and saw tlutt
it was but little more than half -past s'x.
Her face flushed, and she raised herself on
her elbow to listen. If it were Neil colne
already, she felt herself scarcely able to
meet him. She was relieved when the d or
opened, and her aunt looked in.
"No, it is net Neil, Katie, but M es
Lawrence back again, Will you see her "
" Why, yes ; but what can she want so
soon, auntie? She must have forgotten
something." -
Shall I bid her come up here ?"
"If you please, auntie. I am not able to
get up just yet. We can use that freed m
with her, I think. "
For certain. She's a fine young wain n,
Katie. and my heart is sorer than it as
for the man I told ye of. I will send Aleion
up with her, and I may get a word af er
you have had your crack." •
Katie raised herself to a sitting postu e,
but was too exhausted to make an attest pt
tetrise. She smiled when she saw Eni
serious face in the doorway. ,
"My dear, can you forgive me? I arri

"What for ?" aeked Katie bluntly.

Enid, and closing the door, she sat down on
the bed. .“ It was borne in on me all. he

and when I'got out of the carriage, int ad

"They could not think that," said Ka ie
earnestly, and somehow as she looked 1. to
Ersid's face the trouble that had been so
dark an hour ago seemed to melt away.
I can't understand myself how I sr mild -
dare to take such a liberty," began Enid
rather quickly. "You don't know me, but
I aseure you I am not a person who pokes
her nose into other people'a business, but
quite the reverse. Will you acquit mei of
impertinence in what I am going to say ?"
Katie Forbes, most undemonstrative of
women, bent her head suddenly and laid er
lips to the shapely hand which had such oy
in kind deeds.
"Von are to see Mr. Macleod to -nigh "

aged to go on. " Something:tells me t at

" Not if I were convinced that the' tie

Enid earnestly. • " But, Katie, I think if
you do this it will be a great,gre'atinieta e,
and that you will ruin him. ,
"Ruin him 1" repeated Katie; "what

Katie was silent, impressed by
passion with which Enid spoke.
" What do you think I should do then ?"
she asked at lase, in a low veice.
" Wloll' I think you should marry him as
soon ae possible."
"But how can I do that ? " queried
Katie ehrinkingly; "He has never men-

Enid was silent. She could not deny her

fault with the fastening of her bracelet, so
earnestly did she keep her eyes on it.
"1 have 'seen a good deel of him, but not
so much as I would like," Katie answered
innocently. "He is so busy always. I
never knew any one'to go to so many meet-
ings, and. have so many engagements in one

" Men are often hard on one another,

said Enid. "But 1 have hot thought Mr.

CHAPTER
XVII.
THE WOUND OF a FRIEND.
When he got to the inbankme4, Neil
Macleod took a cigar f om his case and
smoked it furiously. Ble was very much
put out and wanted something to eoothe
him. He had got himself into a tigh place,
and did not know how he was to get out
again. He was very angty with Katie for
her persistence. He had told her the Quill
Pen Club was not a place where he cared to
introduce her, though he could not have
• made any reasonable objection, and he felt
chargrined that she had found him out.
His love for Katie had cooled in six months;
but no man cares to look cheap in the eyee
of a woman who has been accustomed to
look up to hire. He had. been posing as a
busy man full, of engagements, moving in a
sphere from which Katie was necessarily
shut out, and he knew that she saw through
it all and clesPised him for it. How was
he to reinstate himself, or did he wish to
be reinstated? These were the questions
he put to himself as he paced slowly albng
the river wall In the direction of West-
minster. It was one of those tender and
lovely evenings we have -in London at the
latter end of April and the beginning of
May. The waning aun, gleaming through
a delicate lute°, cast a subtle light upon the
brimming river, and beautified even the
ugly objects which line the banks. Its ef-
fect on thinge harmonious, as the stately
pile of the Parliament houses was magnifi-
cent and indescribable. For Neil the river
possessed a subtle and ever-increasing 'fasci-
nation. He was one who saw beauty and
fitness where others beheld only chaos; to
stand upon one of the bridges that spanned
that wonderful highway to the sea was to
fill him with a thousand unutterable
thoughts ; to stir in him the highest aspir-
ations, which, had he only allowed himself
a little leisure, might have found adequate
and commanding eXpression. But he
had allowed himself to drift upon the rest-
less sea of an emptier and a baser life, and
fine thought which brought him nearer to
God and humanity had of late visited him
but seldom. It is with many of us as with
the stiff-neoked generation of the earlier
time ; we shut our ears to the knocking of
the Master at the door, until the Holy feet
grow weary of the threshold; and, lo, ' we
awaken one day to a terable sense of the
desolation we have brought upon ourselves.
Bat the hour and its influences had still
power to move him, and Lome order came
out of the chaos of his thoughts. He felt
more kindly towards Katie, and by-and-
by a vague pity for himself and for her
swept over his soul. They had been happy
°nee with a happiness no longer possible, at
least to him. The new and gentler mood
won him to a sudden resolve; he would
go Oh to Porchester Terrace at once and
try to make up some arrears of his long
neglect; and he was anxious to know what
she would say; how she would receive
him after the experience of the afternoon.
He was oroseing towards the abbey, fully
determined to hail the first empty hansom
when'he saw just within the gates of Palace
Yard his friend Merrick in doe° converse -
tion with a tall mah of decidedly military
bearing, an aristocrat evidently ; and
though Neil did not know him, he fancied
something oddly familiar in his seriking
face. No dpubt he Was one of the distin-
guished members of the Upper or Lower
House, with whose face he had become
familiar through the public prints. He was
about to pass on With a nod to Merrick
when he was b okoned by a wave of the
hand, a enmmos he bbeyed, nothing loth.

rook wishes to be introduc-
" said Merrick, in quite a
voice. "My friend, Mr.
'Neil Htartedl and looked momentarily
confused, thou h he could not have told
why. It was n novelty to him now to be
introdnced to diistinguished persons, and he
had quite lost he diffident manner he had
brought with him from the Glen. But for
some unexplained reson he felt decidedly
uncomfortable, and could think of nothing
to say after the conventional expression of
his pleasure at the meeting. Lord Kilrav-
ode did not help him much. His keen,
flashing eyes dwelb searchingly on Neil's
face for a apace before he spoke at all.
"1 have wished to know you for some
time, Mr. Macleod, and I am obliged to Mr.
Merrick for this opportunity. Will you do
me a favor ?".
"Certainly, Lord Kilrayock, if it is in my
power," said Neil, readily.
"Call at my house to -morrow morning at
twelve o'clock."
Neil looked profoun4ily surprised.
'1 shall be please of course," he ans-
wered, politely, " bu
"To -morrow, at t , elve, then—one hun-
dred and thirteen Cadogan Place," said
Lord Kilravock, gravely. "Good, evening,
Mr, Merrick; I am going into the House
now to hear a young protege of mine, the
member for the Belton Burghsonake his
maiden speech."
He lifted his hat and lefb them. Neil
turned to Merrick with a low evhistle of
surprise.
What do you suppoee he wants, Mer-
rick, eh ?"
,
"I'm sure I couldife say. He is inter-
ested in you beyond a doubt," said.Merrick,
but without enthusiatim, "I ought to go
in, too, but I'm sick of the whole concero.
I have to dine at the Bath to -night with the
Lockharts and Sir Douglas Greeh, Ho*
many deep. aro you ?"
There was good-humored scorn in the
question, but Neil did not meet it with hie
usual banter.
"I've nothing on it at all. I'm going out
to Bayswater presently, but Ill walk a bit
with you if you're going home now. I feel
oddly depressed, Merrick, as if there was a
catastrophe hanging over me."
" You deserve to be depressed," observed
Merrick, drily. "I've been waiting for
some time for some much ho eful sign."
"Why, are you going t preach to me
now, Merrick? I thought II was ,safe with
you, anyhow. One would think I was a
scoundrel the way Fraser tind yen andoth-
1
ers go on."
"Well, I thought you behaved like a
bounder this afternoon at the Qaill ,Pens',
Neil," said Merrick, bluntly, "'Upon my
word, when I saw her face I felt sick and
ashamed of myself and of you."
" Whose face ?" asked Neil, Init his own
flushed guiltily.'
"Oh, you know. Are you going to
marry the girl, Macleod, or are you not?
she's one of those sweet, womisnly creatures
that a breath of suffering crus es. What
they are born for, God only kn ws, unless
to heap up sorrow, for themselves and blame
for the men they ;give their hearts to. 1
can't get her out cif my head."
Now, this was to Macleod an attaek from
a totally unexpected quarter, and for a
moment it struck hit dumb. Merrick
seldom spoke of women but with a jest or
scathing criticism; this earneat, even indig-
nant tone betrayed c�nitierab1e warmth of
feeling. Yet he had s
thought a hundred time
any closer acquaintance
and Katie Forbes, cer
could have , little but
simple -hearted woman fr
"I've told you befor

but I'll tell you
as strong as I
know how to make them. Yon are making
a blundering idiot of yourself. You have
become the talk of the town for a woman
who is not worth a hair of Katie Forbes'
head. As I said to her this? afternoon, I
would to God I had left you in your High-
land glen."
"Did you say that to Katie ?" asked
Neil, feeling as if the heavens were about to
al
eouo.ld: ? tm
don't need me to tell you that
and it is the truth. When are
going to to drop this infernal folly, Mac -
it is ruining you. You've never written a
line fit for publication eine° you came to
London—nothing but drive % and worse.
She's laughing at you,
and she's tired of you
long ago. Don't you for a rnoineat imagine
that her ladyship ever gave a serious
thought to you."
. The scathing emphasie on the last word
roused Macleod's hot Highland temper, and
involuntarily he clenched his fist.
"You're jealous, Merrick nothing but
jealousy would make youlsay such things,"
he said sullenly, and the smile with which
Merrick listened was more maddening than
his words.
"I'm not going to quarrel with you,
Mac-
leod," he said quietly, "80 we'd better
part here and not meet again uuii1 we feel
more cordial towards each ether I repeat,
I regret the part I have played; I blame
myself for it more than I can say, but I
thought you were made of better stuff."
With these words, the sting of svhieh long
remained in Macleod's mind, Merrihk jump-
ed into a passing hansom and droves off with-
out a farewell of any kind.
Macleod stood on the kerb staring stupid-
ly after the retreating vehicle. Merrick
had meant well, but unfortuna ely his
home -thrusts had touched a very tender
place, and took exactly the opposite ffect to
that intended. Macleod's better meod had
passed. He was in a blazing rage, and he
knew that to go out to Porchester Terrace
in such a mood would mean nothing but in
immediate ruptu:e between Katie and him-
self. That he did not immediately desire.
After a moment's thought he entered a
stationer's shop, wrote a note, which he des-
patched by special messenger to Porcheater
Terrace, then, out of tune with the whole
world, he drifted into the Wanderers' Club,
where he dined moodily -at a table alone. In
the smoking -room he met an acquaintance,.
w o suggested that they should turn into- a
m sic -hall for an hour, While he listened
wi h moody contempt to the feeble drivel
in hich a section of the British public finds
its -recreation, Katie Forbes was busily en -
gaited packing her truhle for Scotland, in
which occupation she was heartily aided

Curing. a Cold.
To get rid of a cold, send to the druggist
for a mixture containing sulphate of- atropia
and two hundred and fortieth of a grain;
bi-sulphate of quinine two grains, and Fow-
ler' e solution, five drops, to each, dose.
Take a dose ones in two hours for three or
four times, or until the throat beginsto feel
slightly dry. If this does not entirely re-
lieve the symptoms, repeat the treetment
the next day. Copy this prescriptiod ' ear°.
fully, and use it with care, as some, of the
ingredients are poisonous. There is no dan-
ger in using it if the directions are fellowed
exactly. Before goiug to bed take a warm
bath. The next morning sponge th body
rapidly with tepid water, rubbing i bard
until the blood circulates quickly ad the
skin is in a glow. Take more exeroi e than
usual, and do not sit in a, hot' room with the
windows shut. Mix a teaspoonful of cream
of tartar in a tutnblerful of water and drink
it during the day. If there is constipation
take a gentle laxative, as a rhubarb pill.
it is very important that all the avenues of
the body for carrying 'off waste matter
should be wide open.

• Rice -Throwing.
Rice -throwing at weddings—at least at
those perfornied iti churches—probably
soon will be a phing of the past. A clergy-
man in Springfield, Massachusetts, recently
raised hie first objection when a number of
the friends of the bride and bridegroom
scandalized him by throwing rice in the
"sacred edifice." He threatens to stop the
custom, even though it should be neeessary
to invoke the law to do so.
Other cle gyman heartily commend the
stand he bas taken. "The throwing of
rice at wed ings," they say, ." is a heathen
custom pro ably having its origin in India,
for among t e Hindoos the throwing of rice
10 expressive of the hope that the bride
will in time be a happy mother of children.
During the marriage ceremony the bride-
groom throws three handfuls of rice over
the bride and the bride does the !tame over
the bridegroom. A preliminary rite is tb
place an earthen vessel filled with water on
a heap of rice. The Brahmins then repeat
over the vessels several invocatione, calling
on Taruna, the god of the waters, to scantily

piciour, and is as indespensable on wedding
occasions as are the orange blossoms among
Europeans. As the father gives the bride
away he presents to the bridegroom grains
of rice tinged with red, along with betel
leaves. At the end of tbe ceremony grains
of parched rice are eaten. Somewhat as
Europeans send out wedding cakes and

Good Breeding Within the Reach

If a man or woman has got what is called
good breeding, he or she has it. So much is
certain. But what is good breeding' 1t is -
not the superficial politeness found in so-
ciety. So much is also certain.
..—Real good breeding is simply a. general
walk in life which always avoids giving un-
necessary pain, which sinks self, and which
is uniformly kind to all people. A factory -
girl, in this sense, may be, and often is, as
well bred as the princess.

Do Everything Well.
If you have something to attend to, go
about it coolly and thoughtfully, and do it
just as well as you can, Do it as though it
were the only thing you ever had to do in
your life, and as if everything depended (si-
ft. Then your work will be well done, and
it will afford yon genuine satisfaction. Often
much more depends upon the manner in
which things seemingly trivial are performed'
than one would suppose, or that it is pos-
sible to foresee. Do everything well. Make
that the rule of your life and lives up to it,
and you will find it most eonducive to your -
own happiness,_and to the happiness of
those with whom you are brought into con-
tact or communication.
