He snakes use feel I cost him that—and it's bad enough. I'm sure I wonder I keep my looks on auch poor food ate I get." She turned her head as sho heard her father's heavy footsteps. " Prissy, lase, come in a bit ; I've a word or two to say to you." As she came into t -he house he added, " I'd have said it last night if you hadn't gone straight to bed." He gave her a keen look of in- quiry, but Prissy lookod serenely unconscious. " I didn't go to bad," she said, "I'd a heap of things to do ; to- morrow's Sunday, ani 1 hate to leave sewing till Saturday night." Richard Porter's face was pucker- ed and querulous. " Why need you sew by eight? That means candle waste. You stay in like your mother did and sew of afternoons." Prissy laughed but her eyes look- ed angry. " Mother was a saint, I fancy, and she died •of being too good. I'm quite another sort, father; yon should have brought me up yourself if you wanted me to have such hunt -drum ways." The silvery tones of the stable clock at the Manor (louse reached Richard's ears as ho stood in the doorway. " I wish you was half es good as your mother," lie said sternly. "Come inside, I tell' you I have a word to say." Prissy looked puzzled, but she followed hint into the kitchen at the back of the house. " Now look you here." Richard faced suddenly round on her, with a tiny flush showing on his high cheek -bone, "you've got to look to yourself, Prissy,' or may be you'll get into liouble. A girl may bo good-looking, but she shouldu't be for ward." Pris.y's oyes were extra bright with auger, and her color was like. a China rose leaf. " Who says I'►n forward 1" Her father looked puzzled: he plunged his hand into his hair as if to seek for an answer. " Yon know what I mean," he said. " I ,nay hold any tongue, but I've got eyes, Prissy"—she gave a little start'at this—" and I tell you there's too many young fellows after you. You'll get talked about, and then who d'ye think will marry you ? There's that fool, Johu Mil- ler, for one ; why don't you send hint about his business, when you know ' he's promised to Lizzie Parker." Prissy laughed, as if she really enjoyed the idea of John Miller's admiration: " I'm sure she's very welcome to him," she said, tossing her pretty head. " I don't want him and he knows it. But I suppose one must answer when a man speaks to one." She gave her father a keen look, and he answered it by a nod. " There's men and there's men," he said, slowly, "but if a girl wants to do well for herself she don't ought to have a tnany cotniug after her." Ile stooped to fasten the tops of his gaiters, brown like the rest of his velveteen suit; then he put on his straw hut and went out. CHAPTER, III. Prissy stood still after her father had left her—there was a mortified look in her eyes. "What a sunning fox father is," she thought: "I do believe he knows all about Mr. Gerald's com- ing, and he's willing to wink at it." She looked brighter. "That shows lie thinks \Ir. Gerald mean's to marry me if I manage well --he wants me to keep the rest at their distance." She pouted • and atood hanging her head. She longed to be mis- tress at the Manor House, and if she married \1r. Gerald 1)isbrook it would out be lung, for hu would come of ago in January first, and then his aunt and her husband who had brought him up and had man- aged matters at Disbrook would no longer ba master and mistress there. If it were for no other reasons the girl longed for a triumph over this aunt, Mrs. Selby who had always, since I'rissy's first arrival nt the cottage, seeped to consider the old gamekeeper's daughter her especial charge. "I hate hor with her tracts and hor advices and her superiority. She thinks no one can do tight that don't ride in a carriage—fancy her telling me not to wear roses in my hat, that wasn't suitable to my station. Won't it be nuts to take hor carriages away from her." Prissy looked toward the gate. A. gentleman was coming down the grassed road on the the left. She had just time to retreat and pull off the rough apron sho worn for what she called "dirty work," and thou sho went out of the cottage and closed the door behind her." Tho gentleman quickened his pace when h'o- saw Prissy at the garden gats. "Good marling," he nodded with a very admiring look in his eyes. "Well, how are you this morning, Mies Prissy, you look bright enough ; but a little bird has told me you wore risky last night. You let people come inside this gate, eh 1" Prissy looked couacious, but she smiled. "Twasu't;my fault," she said. "Mr. Gerald would come in, but I don't think father took notice of it." "Very likely not," Mr. Warwick said sarcastically; "but my dear child, you,ve got to be careful. There's a girl at the Manor House called Lizzie,and she told the house keeper that to the best of her belief Mr. Gerald saw you home last night. I've asked the house -keeper to keep quiet, but you know how things leak out." Prissy's temper had been already tried, and now it got upper hand. She cared more for this tall, fash- ionable Mr. Warwick, with hia lazy mentor and his easy walk, than for any ono oleo sho had seen. She was afraid he did not care for her or he would not connive at her with Mr. Gerald Dishbrook. "'Ton what right had he to lecture her if he did not care for her?" Her color had deepened and her eyes had a storm in tient. "You look so pretty, Prissy," Mr. Warwick said, "that it is quite im- possible to scold you; but look here you will lot ale toll Gerald, won't you, that he must not corne—it's dangerous." She curtseyed with a pretty look of disdain. "I'm much obliged to you, Mr. Warwick, but I'll not give you the trouble. I'm really able to manage my own affairs." • He raisod the latch and.canle into the garden, and before sho could prevent him he took both, the girl's hands in his. "You little beauty," he said, "can't you see it's for your own good I speak? If you want to marry Gerald you will have to keep him at a distance, my child. Ho looked at hor so tenderly that Prissy's eyes drooped. ''If you only kuew how much I give up for his sake !" Against her will Prissy looked up at hits, and he could not mistake the imploring glance ho saw—he had already told himself that the girl loved him; but this was proof— ®"1 don't really care for Mr.Gorald she faltered, while her cheeks burned hotly with fear that she had betrayed herself, Mr \\rarwick studied the down- cast, agitated face, and thou he looked away from it. "Well' then," he eaid'"°briskly, "give him up. The only thing is; Prissy, that a Tuan in Mr. Gerald's .rank of life oau very rarely marry as ho pleases. I know I couldn't. I'thought you, wanted to be mistress of a'big house and any number of servants." He waited, but she did,not an swer. At last she raised her head and gave him a look full of scorn. "Go away," she said bitterly. "I wish I had never seen you. You are not fit to tie Mr. Gerald's shoe- strings." CHAPTER IV. • It is a dark warm evening ; the gnats still kept up a ceaseless hum, broken, by the occasional whir of a beetle, or the click -click of the grasshopper—a louder sound comes from tate opposite meadows, the harsh cry of the corn crake. Two people had been sitting_ under the hedge that shelters Richard i',Irter's cottage on the side nearest t „ oak wood, they listen so inteti..y that they do not hear any of the,o sounds. The cote :e gate latch clicks. and both the 1 : • oners bend forward at once and a itch Prissy's small figure as the girl trips down the grassed road and then into oak wood. "What do you think of that, John ?"Lizzie Parker whispers. John ?filler shrugs his shoulders, but he gave no answer. He is already ashamed of having yielded to Prissy's allurements, for though he is too manly to say so, he knows that he_-ehould not have dared to call at the cottage if she had not aked him to come, and if Lizzie's suspicion proves true, poor John John feels that he shall hate Prissy to the end of his days, John .Miller's thoughts do not move quickly, and while be ii tryiug to judge Prissy auuther figure passes along the grassed road and into the darkness of the wood. This time it is a than. "Do you believe not/ 7" Lizzie whispered. "Stay hero till 1 come back," he answered, and then John Miller moved awaycautiously in among the trees. Ile had not far to go. Prissy was afraid of being alone in the dark ness. John soon made out near the edge of the wood her light gown below the cloak she had wrapped round:her should r4. He kept well within the doop gloom of the trees till he 'was near enough to listen. itis ears tingled with shame of his own action. Yet for Lizzio's sake he meant to be sure. "I can't see you to -morrow, dar- ling," Mr. Gerald Disbrook said. John could hardly help smiling, it seemed so ilnpossihie •to believe that this small eolonin-facee young man, who seemed a pattern to his household, could actually be mak- ing love • to his game keeper's daughter. llut Oren it's Prissy," John thought, with a sigh. "Why not to-ntor►•ow." The girl's voice was impatient. "If you were wise you'd see mo every stay." "I would, if I could, don't you know, Prissy, I would." There was the sound of a kiss. "You mayn't do that, Mi. Gerald: I'm not your wife yet, and I don't feel sure you'll marry sue." "You are unkind, Prissy; how can I help kissing you when I ,ove you so; it' you loved me as you say you do, you shy little puss, you would like to be kissed." There was a pause; it seemed to John Miller that Mr. Gerald put his arta round the girl, and that she did not by to take it away. "Ah, it's all very tine t:a talk like that," and he said, "but you ought to think better of use for being shy, IS you call it; if I felt quite sure you'd marry when you come of age, you'd maybe find a change." "You darling ! I wonder how I can make you believe me? I've said it more than once." There was a another paned. ``\Veil well, I shall be back iu two or three days and thou I'll find a way to slake you believe me, yoU little witch." Juhu Miller waited till first Prissy and thus her lover had passed out of hearing before he joined Lizzie. Half way to the Manor House Gerald Disbrook met his friend War wick, with a cigar in bis mouth. Gerald did not stuoko, and the swell of tobacco always irritated hiur. "How you spoil this exquisite tat- mosphere," he said, in a peevish tone; "I emelt your cigar long before I reached you." • Warwick looked••tt him mocking- ly, and threw his cigar into the ditch "It was just finished," he said, "but keep yourself quiet, my boy, you have a long ride before you to- morrow: What have you been doing—promising to marry the charming Priscilla, oht,y'oung green= horn? Will nothing else do fuf"hel' but that7" Gerald turned on him angrily "I'm not such a fool as you take mo for, Mr. Warwick. All the same,I don't want your advice in the wetter." Ile pushed on toward the Manor House. "The devil ! ?las the boy really plucked up a spirit. It' I do not look out the little beauty will end by becoming Mrs. Disbrooit, and then good -by to my pleasant vasa- tion quarters=no, that won't do." • • 'CHAPTER V. Twenty-four hours after he parted from Prissy Gerald Disbrook's body was brought home to the Manor House. He had gone over to Redlnoor on business for a douple of days, and had chosen to ride a young horse, a now purchase. He had been thrown, and his horse in falling upon him had fatally injured Ger- ald's spine. There had been great grief throughout the village, and and Richard Porter was terribly troub•- led: He had chafed under Mrs. Selby's close, exacting ways, and he had hoped much from the heir when 'he should conte into possession. IIo groaned and groaned aloud, and was surprised at Prissy's silent tearlessness. The girl sat like a stone; she was literally crushed with disappointment and fear. She had not forgotten Mr. War- wick's warning, and when a week later she was told that Mrs. Selby had sunt for her to the Manor House Prissy turned coward. "Say I'nl ill," she said to her father who brought the message. • Richard Porter looked sternly at her, and for the first-time she shrank away and hid her face iu her hands. "If you've brought a scandal on my name," he shook his fist at her, "this place'll not hold you and mo." Tho sun had begun to sink, and still the girl sat where her father loft her. ' It seemed to her that if if Mr. Gerald had promised to marry her she might yet hold her own aoainat thong all,and why should such a fuss be made about nothing. "Lots of girls go out to meet their sweethearts," •sho said to herself; but all the while she knew that their casts were not tike hors. Presently there came the click of the garden gate, and she looked up expecting t� see Mrs. Selby. It was Mr. \\rartfick. Prissy went forward and held out her hand, it was such a relief to see a smiling face. "My dear child, now miserable you loop." He kept her hand and fondled it between his own. 'Your poor little fingers are like ice. Who has had tho heart to vex you 1" he said in a soothing, tender voice. • ndigestion I$ not only a distressing complaint, of itself, but, by causing the' blood to become depraved and the system en- feebled, is the parent of innumerable maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway Centre, Mich.: — "Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly bad strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving re- lief. Nothing that T took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which bas produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa- rilla I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength im- proved each day, anti after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY Dr. J. 0. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Price $1; six bottles, $5. Worth $5 a bottle. Pa issy could could not help it— slae broke away from hint in a crying fit. Mr. Warwick let her cry, and ale sown recovered herself. She wiped her eyes augirly, as if to puuish theta for their weakness, and stamped her feet iu, soIf-contempt.. "Why cru von ask the who's vexed alit'," she said angrily; "you have come straight from the house, and know what they say of me there. That hypocrite Lizzie was hero .yes- terday, pretending to be sorry, for. ole, and father has threatened to turn ate out." "Would you care to stay here then," he said, iu a surprised tone. "She looked at him sharply, but he seemed to be in earnest. "No," she said, suddenly. "1 can't stay Jere 1 wouldn't if they asked ole to." Warwick thought how pretty she looked, with ler flushed cheeks and tearful eyes. ."I ant goitrg to London this evening," he added quietly. "Will you meet ate in the wood at 7 o'clock and go witli me—yes or no, I am not likely to cone again to Dis• brook," Pr(s..y lookod at him—ho seemed really to feel for her -his Manner was kind and.carnest. Surely life with •this gentleman, she thought would be better than going to service, and what else lay before her 7 "Yes," she said faintly, and War- wick pressed Init. (land and went aWay. * * ' * - * An hour later Prissy with a boudlo under arm, crept downstairs. She. had heard her father come in, but site had not seen him, and she walked as lightly as sho could till she reached the gate. She gave a look back and paused irresolute. In an instant elle seemed to see her life with her father in the cottage and life with Mr. Warwick. She hurried on to the wood, and was soou lust to sight among the trees. TIIE END. —About midnight, fire broke wit. in the kitchou-of Rector Rohl - net's hou•t', near the Grand Trunk depot at Tecumseh, eight miles east of Windsor. Mr. Robinet was awakened by the smoke about the time the 1111111 was given front the outside, and groping to the kitchen he opened the door a sheet of smoke and flame blew into his face, driving him back- ward and burning his face and head. He ran upstairs and threw his children out of a window to the neighbors who had gathered. Some of the crowd rushed into the building and dragged out Mrs. Robinot (who was lying uncon- scious near the window), a hired man and Mrs. Robinet's father-in- law. The flames next seized upon a wine house and carriage shop adjoining. The cry went up that there was a keg of powder in the former. Almost as Boon as this was announced, and while 300 or 400 persons were etandiug in the road in front of the house, the wine house blow upward and outward, scattering the bricks in all direc- tions. People then devoted their attention to the other houses in the vicinity which they saved after two hours' hard work. Dr. Reaunto, of Windsor, was sant for to take caro of the injured. He found Mrs. Robinot badly burned about the right hand and arm. She had also inhaled so much smoke that it took six hours to rususeitate hor. Renaud, tho father-in-law, was not badly injured, but Mosseau, the hired man, will probably not live. Tho children escaped with some slight burns. The property loss will bo about $8,000. Mr. Robinet says he does not know what started the firs. 8111111E88 OIRE'CTQRY geuttot.rlg. G. H. COOK, Licentiate of Dental Surgery, Honor Graduate of the Toronto School of Dentistry.
