CHAPTER XI.
TitE CRASH COMES.
She would give no explanation of this
enigmatic remark, but, having now reached
the lame, she put the Nide-eaddle on the
roan cob, arrayed hereelf in the loeg grey
skirt which served all three girls in turn ree
a riding habit, and started for Banport.
She haft ttied to see her father, but he
avoided her.
She redo fast, and. was not, on the whole,
unhappy. She had: been expecting. a crash
for so king thet the change from suspenee to
a heavy, trouble larought as much relief as
fresh dietress. Atter all she was only in
the position Herbett had propoeed, of debtor
to him for a coheiderable sum. Fen of
course, When he dieeovered who the offender
waraihe would not proseoute; while she could
not but' hope that this affair would at levet
frighten her father from the city and its
snares.: And—ie would put an end, °tic°
and fori ail, to the exciting, unsettling, bit-
ter-sweet, intercourse between Herbert and
herself whioh had been the eeoret joy and
torment of her life lately. The girl Was Bo
painfully modest, as to her own attractions;
that the thought that she might be able to
retain $ hold on the affectione of a handsome,
lively young fellow like Herbert namely
entered her head. The evi lent attraction
she now had for him she ateributed rather
cynicalty to her own " stand off " attitude ;
and ehe never doubted that e little softness,
a, little eielding on her part, would cause
his admiration to melt. away miteh noire
rapidly then it hied riaen. But her stern
self-mestery had only been atteined at the
wee of many struggles, so that the end
_which had now coine to this state of tension
was a relief also.,
Dusk had fallen when she reached Ban -
port, and leaving the quiet cob outside, ran
into the station and despatched her tele-
oram. This was her measage
"Herbert Danscombe, Esquire,—Queen's
Gate, London. Please see me before doing
anything.
44 MARTON Vithseenaore."
She had a greet mind to tear it up when
she had written it, It seemed to imply, she
thought, with a self-conscious blueh, a right
on her part to control his movements. Yet
she must see him at once. After a little
hot debate with herself, she let the -message
go andjistarted to return home.
She id not see her father that day ; but
the gide' account of the silence and absence
of mind he had shown at tea and supper
time again filled her with uneaeinese. She
wanted to tell him it was " all right," even
-againsti the better judgment which seid it
was gobd for him still to think it wae " all
wrong.t But so anxious did she become on
hie accOunt that on the following morning
she waylaid him as he hurried on ahead of
the others to churoh, and tried to get a
moment's! hearing. But he veould not listen
to her. I
, " Go away, go away, please 1" he said,
testily. " I cannot fix my mind properly
on the duties before me if I am disturbed in
thie way."
She retreated, still anxious. M abel tried
to calm. her distress.
"Papa likes to see you worry yourself
like that," she whispered. " I saw him
look at you this morning as if he quiee en-
joyed seeing you eat no breekfast.'
Mabel was pushing the little wickerewark
wheel chair in which Mrs. Westerton went
to church. She, too poor lady, was anxie
oua aboat her husband, and chattered to the
girls upon the bad effects of a studious life
upon a nervous man, and about the restless-
ness which made him now habitually wander
through the house at night. To Marioeas
dietress, several membere of the congregation
remarked, on leaving the church, how ill the
rector looked. And it was evident to all
eyes at dinner time that he was harrassed
and depreesed as they bad never eeen him
before. I He had to hold a service that af-
ternooreat the little church of Pinkton-on-
the-Soke, and he started as usual after din-
t
ner, onl earlier than was his cuetorn, on
his thr e miles' ride on the roan cote
Marion ,watched him item the gate with
eyes full of anxiety. Edgitha came behind
her and apoke in an affectionate voice :
" I dent think you need be so nervous
about papa, Marion," she said reassuringly.
" 1 thirilc he's taking it very quietly, al-
most as if he didn't care."
"- That's jest why Pm afraid," whieriered
Marion.' "For he must earn, and l'm afraid
he has made up his mind to—to do aoine-
thing rash."
" Why, what could he do ?"
" I don't know. But why has he started
so early, whoa he generally waits till long
after we have set out on foot ?"
" Perhaps he wants time to pray by him-
self that he may tieat us better for the
future,", seed Mebers sharp voice behind
them. i
The elder sisters turned and rebuked -her,
and then they all hurried in -doors to 'pre-
pare fot their walk.
It was a fine October afternoon ; the sim
was shining with a warm yellow light on
the rich brown earth of the freshly plowed
fielde ; and, but for the heanixess at the
heart of all three girls, it would have been
a pleasant walk' enough. They took many
a short cat aeross the fields, and once they
had to Grose a wide stream, a tributary of
the river, which ran into the sea at the
nearest Watering place.
This tributary stream was between twenty
and thirty feet across, very deep and swift
and straight, as the water carne with great
force from the neighboring hills. It was
now e.wollen'by the autumn rains; and no one
lees strong of nere than these three country
gide would have dared just now ' to trust
himself over the rickety wooden bridge by
which they had to cross it.
" Why, this was just where poor Tom
Noakes was drowned, just a year ago," cried
Mabel. '
Marion turned upon her sharply. .
" Why ara you always talking about Tom
Noakes ?'' she said, uneasily.
" I don't thiak I ever mentioned it !be-
fore," answered Mabel in surprise. (I It
was only -seeing the stream in just the same
.atate as it was then that reminded me of
it." i
They went on in eilence, and more raPid-
lv. The day seemed to have derkeued ; 'the
.
wind had begun to blow cold ; the midi
were heavy under the trees ofthe fir-oeppea.
By the time they came in sight of Pinkton,
a straggling village of yellow washed,
thatched cottages, they were racing over
the fields, brealeae, and full of unspoken
fear. .
When they Canle up to the little unpre-
tendine building which did duty for a
church: they found the small congregation
already either within its wallal or collected
in groupa just outside ; but the old manwho
'did duty as bell-ringer and verger had left
his rope to be pulled by a small boy, while
he himself, shading his eyes with his:hand,
seemed to be watching anxiously for some
one as the churchyard gate. Marion came
up to him first.

" Yels, oh—oh, yes," she stammered in a

" Come in."

I—I think you had better. '
There was an awful moment of deed sil-
ence. Then Marion, with ahaking fibgere,
tore open the inner envelope 1 and read the
note :

tion that her father had gone. They tramp-,

I Then Herbert went off to fetch the Icob

iflfloulty, kept up With her father a converts-,
Mien on indifferent tinbjects. And present-
ly, it having been decided that a fortnight's
Scraping would hardly get the mud of, his
peon clothes, the rector started to return
home in those he was wearing. He sat with
his daughter in the wagaonette, while Her-
ert followed on the cob.
The rector seemed to be perfectly at his
ale ; but, to Maaion's great . joy, he proved
to have more feeling in this matter than by
his manner he would have gained crediVfor.
Ile grew evidently nervous as they drew
hear the rectory ; and as the other two gide
ivien were on the watch, had the tact to re.
ire into the house on his approach, he en-
eeed quietly and went etraight upstairs to
iti room, telling Herbert and Mation to
wait him in his atudy. But Marion went
tastead to tell her sisters the news, and only
'entered the study as her father came down-
stairs.
She saw by his face and bearing as soon
as he began to speak to them, by the new
i=nifty in -his handsome eyes, the simple-
ignity of his manner, that he was not only
emorseful and repentant, but anxious to
egin his atonement by confession. But
his neither Herbert nor Marion would
llow. Silently and with downcast eyes
they listened while he began to ask their
forgiveness for his conduct.
But when he came to the words, " I nave
done wrong ; I have behaved very, Very -
badly to you, to all of you—" Herbert
(mild bear ill 'no longer an& iutetrupted
nim.
1 " You are only making us very uncom-
fortable, air," he said. " Of course we
know you have been imprudent, but I am
sure you won't again."
" Indeed, I shall put it out of my own
power to be so," said the poor rector simply..
i," But—you are very, very good—but Abe

" Will be my wedding present to Marion,
sir ; we are going to be married at Chriet-
mas."
Marion, down whose cheeks the tears
Wert: rolling last, looked up, blushing, as-
tonished, with a epesm of feeble indigna
tion.
" No," she mid. " who says so ?" '
" I say so. Women are inferior crea-
tures and should not be consulted in these
matters."
The rector, who was on the point of
breaking down, tried to speak, but failed.
Drawing his daughter to him, he geve her a
kiss, which Marion took for a recogeition of
her years of patient labor. Then, shaking
heartily the hand Herbert held out to him,
be dismissed them quickly, to save his own
failing diguity.
: Outside the door Herbert threw his arms
round Marion.
I I,' Don't," she said. " 1 w.won't marry
you. I can't. It's just es if I had been
h-labought and set -sold."
"Of course. You have often owned you
Were a sevage, and among savages wives are
bought and sold. And once married; I am
going to civilize you." .
Then the door , of the dining room was
opened eof lY ; Edgitha peeped out discreet-
lY but Mabel came out like a whirlwind
and dragged them inside.
" Come and see mamma, come and tell
mamma. Of course we've known it forever
ao long, but I don't believe ehe has even
guessed." .
She had nob Mis. Westerton, living in
her corner, and at her daughters' mercy for
news, knew just what they chose to tell her
nd no more. The innocent lady overflow -
d with astonishment and delight, and with
he pride of marrying of a daughter. They
all clustered round the fire and listened
very quietly to her chatter, feeling it a
nelief after the frightful anxiety of the
, -
clay.
And presently the rector himself, hearing
i
the pleasant babble, and feeling attracted
by it, came quietly in and joined the circle,
and was made much of. And :he made
many a good resolution in hie I humbled
heart about, avoiding speculation for the
future. •
Luckily for him, there was a strofnger will
than his ready to work those resolution
out. The girls all felt thee their king atrug-
gle was over, and that thene was a mascu-
line arm now ready to procure them their
juet rights. ,
" I ahall be able to keep my \ poultry
tinoney and have the drawing lessons 1"
cried Mabel, when the rector had retired.

Manners at Table.
" Manners maketh the man," is a saying
ith which we are all familiar, and there is,
ndoubtedly, much truth in the old adage,
he young man who starts in life with a
good address and an eaey and pleasant de-
portment etands a better chance of " getting
elorig " than his less fortunate, although
equally deserving companion. Froth a social
Point of view, there is quite as mueh import-
ance to be attached to table etiquette ; end'.
the young man or Woman who is invited ont
to dinner or supper often find thernselvee
tereibly handicappped by their own little
solecisms, ;which proceed from want of
training in childhood. I don't think that
there is an age too young for this training te
coMmence. I am intimately acquaint°
with a girl—end a dear, bonnie girl she a
too—who, when qnite a baby, and just ab e

not to use at that catty age, of course, bnt
so that she should alweys be accustomed to
the sight of such things at the proper time,
and never once has ehe, to any knowledgt,
committed any breech of table manners.
Will parents kindly take my suggestton,
and bring up their little ones to behave well
at meal times ? The linen may be coarse
and the food plain, hut a grace willbe add d
to that meal far moreimpreseive than th
verbal grace so frequently uttered witho
meaning or eincerity. The first things fon. a
child to learn are, to sit still ; not to toneh
anything upon the tabre-; and not to persi t
in asking for any article which juts on
been refused. Then there are numero s
little details that are better taught by e
ample than by yerbalinjunctions. The knife
should never be put into the mouth—not
only is it dangerous, but the action is quite
contrary to all rules of good behavionn
When your children are old enough to take
salt, pepper, or any other condiment, insist
upon them teking it in a proper manner.
To take a pinch of salt with the -fingers, 'or
on the blade of a knife, is only seen in coMic
papers. Your little ones will seldom drink
much during dinner unless encouraged to do
so. Nature knows how much is required,
and unless the meal is of a dry nature it is
well for them not to drink at all until the
meal is over, and then see that the lips are

A REMARKABLE CASE.
Told By Mr. Orh.n Post, of
Grumidge, Manitoba.
Suffered Greatly for Five Years From,
Rheumatism—Doctors and Many Medn'
eines Failed to Help Him, But He Gotj
the Right Medicine at Last.
From the Echo, Dominion City, Manito
Recently while chatting with a repor
of the Echo, Mr. Orlin Post, a well-kno
farmer of Grumidge, Manitoba, gave h*
following story of five years ef great au rte
ing from that most painful ot disease
—1
rheumatism. Mr. Post said : ; " There ere
few people, unless they have Iteen similarly
afflicted, can understand how much I su erf
ed during those five years from the pain of
rheumatitm. There were times when I sit
wholly unable to do any work, and to meret
ly attempt to move my limbs caused the
greatest agony. I tried several doctors, but
they seemed quite unable to cure me. Then
I tried several advertieed medicinee, tha
were highly recommended for this trouble,
release from pain. As these medicines f il,
het they also failed to bring the longed ;,o
ed me one after the other, I began to look
upon the trouble as incurable, and was al
moat in despair. At this time some frie de
asked me why 1 did not= try Dr. Willie s
Pink Pills, and I decided to make at le s
one more effort to obtain a cure. 1 k e
my ease was not only a severe one, ut
from the failure of other medicines, a et b
born one, and I determined that the pit
should have a fair trial, so I bought a do 6
boxes. I took them according to directie s
and before they were gone there was a grea
improvement to my condition, but I a
net fully cured. I then got another h lf
dozen boxes, and by the time 1 the thir o
them were emptied I had not en ache dr
pain left, and was able to do e good her
day's work without feeling any of the tor-
tures that had for five years made my lif
miserable. You may asy for me that I d
not think there is any medicine in the worl
can equal Dr. Wil4ams Pink Pills as a c 9
for rheumatism. Is is several years since
my cure was effected, aed as I have neivee
since had the least sign of the trouble, II
think I can speak with authority." j
When such severe oases as this are entire-
ly cured it is not surprising that Dr. Wil -1
hams' Pink Pills have made such a gres.
reputation throughout the world for the
cure of other diseases due to poor or watery
blood. Paralysis, St. Vitus' dance. anaemia,
coneumption, dyspepsia, palpttation of the
heart, nervous • headache, female ailmente
and neuralgia are among the other troubles
they have cured in thouaands of cases. Only
the genuine pill will cure—substitutes never
cured anything—and to avoid subatitute
