With what zest did we sit down to the table after our play was over and eat the mush and milk our mother put before us. But as we . get older it 'takes more to give us pleasure. Mush and milk no longer - tastes good to ns and our digestion may be impaired. The !lest advice we: can give to each a person is to tone ups the stomach with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is nature's most valuable and health -giving agent made without the use of alcohol. It contains roots, herbs and barks, and is the concentration of nature's vitality as found in the fields and woods. This remedy has 1 a history which speaks well for it because ) it waa4 - given to the public by Dr. R: V. Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.

And Francesca believed these shad- owy forms to .be portraits- of the ..people whom would one day 'inset in the :worlds No one told her Efferently: Her aunt—the still beau-- Loida Vyner—held the same opinion; for she had only made lit- tle holiday visits into the world, and she was quite ignorant of all ,that was mean or selgsh in the pemps -and vanities she took part in. Gentle and romantic, carrying in her heart.the "hush" of a great sorrow, Miss Vyner had brought up her mo- therless niece in that sweet, pious simplicity which makes a woman not only 'charming in good fortune but patient and strong in the days of - In this exquisite schooling of a young soul :Squire Atherton had lit- tle part. He distrusted himself ene tirely where Francesca was concerned. fie would have taken a Son to the kennels and the ferret hutches, made him wise in stable lore, and taught him all the mysteries of woodcraft, The little 'maid, even at nine years old, puzzled him. Her eyes, full of 80/eran wonder, 'gave: hire an uncom- fortable sense of,. incompetency. Her hand had but to clasp his finger; and he felt under an irresistible au- thority. And when her small /face lay against his largo, sunbrowned cheek, he had neither wish nor will of his own to spaa,k of. "She is just a little lady! God love her!, he said to his sister-in-law, "and she must -have a lady to guide her. As for me, Loida, thou knows, vvotild lay my hande under het feet." And Loida, looking up at the man standing firm as an oak before. her—massive, tall, tough, fearless— felt all the wonderful surrender in this free expression of loVe, and of, love's service—"I would lay my hands under her feet." If this was the squire's feeling when. Francesca. was nine years 'old, when she was nineteen it was ten .years stronger. For he had then be- gun to realize that his child bad be- come a woman, and that the high park walls of Atherton. Court would not much longer ,keep away feom hes 'whatever Fate was w,alting.

As he spoke he rose and went to 'the window, The leaded sashes were on an ivy branch, was almost in the room:- The squire chirruped to the bird, but kept his eyes upon his daughter. She was coming eyslowly up the stone steps of the terrace, lifting slightly her long white drum with one hand, and scattering wheat with the other to the many colored pigeons, who pa.ced an.d plumed and bridled their opal necks, and, "coo, coo, coo'd" around her feet.

It was a delightful uncertainty to her; she ,openc-d first one and then anoth- er of the wide clra.wors in her amiery; and stood looking down at their contents. The scent of lavender stole softly out of them, and mirigled with the sweet air of the room. And the stinehine fell on several pale -colored gowns, pink and amber, and blue and white. She could not tell which one was the prettiest, but, it' was quite an. important question to set- I tie; because a stranger was such a f rarity.

The dreeses, crisp and fresh, with the clear starching now gone out- of use, lay. across the counterpane. She considered their claims with a *divid- ed heart; none pleased her above all others.. "I shall have to shut my eyes aad take what fortune .setaltea me," she said, with a low latigh , satisfaction.

With a, light step she went down the terrace into the pleasan stretch flowers. Here there were all kinds of shady alleys; rose hedges shut in some, and the laburnums'. rain 'of gold and the climbing honeysuckle others; and lower doivn toward the steps of the second, terrace there was a thick screen. of white clematis. It covered also a little summer -house overlooking the steps and the hilly sward in which" they were Set; and lower down, -the place of summer fruits. The desire to enter the sum- mer -house was irresistible. It was so cool, and then the light was so green there, and leer pink dress made such a charming glow in its dim shadow. She spread it out with an obvious childlike pride in the con- trast. Oh, the stillness! Oh, the sweet smell of growing wood; of the soil; of the eowers; of the ripening fruit! Youth has a sensuous hunger for such alluring odors, -and Francesca, sat and cleeed her eyes, the better to enjoy them. The chair was her fathee's chair; it was large and sofe; the air was the noontide air, it was warm and sleepy; her soul was in the mood of a truant, and it slipped away Into the land of dreams. She awakened suddenly, as if she had- been sharply called. All the ower space of the fruit garden was "I hdarielamm.,,t that I dwelt in marble That was very like what she e had been dreaming. She rose quickly to her feet, a warm crimson wave rush - the clematis vines and looked through them. A young man was slowly walking between the plum and the apricot standrads, and singing as he walked. His voice had magic in it. The ten- der, ringing tonas, nave sharp and clear, then soft and lingering, came fleatifig up the terrace and went straight to her heart. She had heard the first verse of the song in her sleep—never before --and the se- cond 'Verse had an insinuating famil- iarity she could not resist, The singer came slowly onward, taking the. terrace -steps with a charming deliberation. He held an apricot, and he threw it lightly from one hand to the other, making the act as rhythmical .and graceful as the melody he sang to the move- ment. He was hare -headed, slender and tall, and carried himself with a royal air. As he came closer, she saw that he was very handsome; that his mouth was sweet and smil- ing% Ilea his clothes had the gloss He stood a m.oment .on Rol); stood in the sun- $.erenely..glad, and or a man who had su ie st places eave fled, but give the Wit, at heist, of indiffer- nee.

And ,the etranger said: And she dave him just the tips of her lingers, and they went thrdugh the garden together. And the white Clematis were never gathered, which was a fortunate thing, for tbe• free flowers of the gadding vine hold no , love -spell in their wide-open cups. ' There was one hour before dinner, and love for' an hour is love forever --if it .be true love. These tw o souls had juet found each other, and they had sR much tie say, and seem- ed to choose such unmeaning words that any, one not of the faculty of love would have been puzzled at their satisfaction. •A few syllables —ono step at a time, and the touch . of their hands—these simple vehicles elf understanding held a measureless contentment, And when they took the terraced steps together, the tips of their fingers had a language all their own-emysterically sweet as the influences of the Pleiades, mystically binding as th.e virtues of Orlon. They were talking of names at the time, and he said, softly: "I am called Lancelot." - She a,nswered: He repeated the word lowly— "Prameescal" and -every Tett r W0,11 vivid as light, and the name went to his braln like wine. What did it matter to them that they were late to dixinen, and that the squire, with a slow dignity that was almost a reproof, told them so? What did it matter that he loaked annoyed, and Aunt Loida anxious, and that the conversation. was con- -. fined to the elder gentlemen, and was painfully political. The great point was that dinner would so soon be over, and that they must then learn, for the first time how hard it is to spell the word "parting." Francesca could make no attempt to do it. She turned white, and re- mained dumb, Lancelot touched her fingers again, and said, "Good- night" and, if his eyes lied not, said many sweeter words. . Francesca, did not doubt them, All of love, and of love's confession that sprung from their beautiful depths, she iraplicitly believed. And, though it was yet a secret between their happy souls, she was certain the hour for its tranelation into mortal language. would come-ewonld surely As soon as his visitors were out of sight, the squire gave way to his _natural temper.
