".'hank you, Mr Donovan, my health is very well," answered Do- •ery, precisely. "Acid as to Miss Dot, her face is flushed just from "excitement, and nobody can't deny that she's been very poorly this ; last week." He listened with the wistfulness of one obliged to obtain the news nearest his heart from a detailer , not greatly interested in the gat ter. A shade of disc intment sand anxiety stole over h ace as he turned to look at Dot, but she soon made him smile again. "I am as well as possible now you are come. Last week it got hot - so quickly. %Vas it hot in London? And what did you and Cousin Ellis do?" Nnovau gave as bi ight a descrip (cion as he could of what had been in reality an unhappy and unsatis- factory time; but he was not sorty to. be interrupted before long by a sound of scratching at the door. "It can not he Fido, because he always barks su at you," said Dot, wonderingly. "No, I think it is my present foi you, who has had the impudence to rlrn upstairs before he was called." "Your present ! Oh, Dono ! and a live one!" Donovan opened the dour acd ad,rnitted a fox terrier puppy, whose whines of delight at finding his friend were drowned in Dot's de lighted exclamations. "Is he for my very own? Olt Dono, what a dear old boy you are! What made you think of itl" "The fellow tacked himself on to ane one day in the Strand, and re. fused to go. That's ton days ago Bow,and, as he's not been advertised for, I thought I'd bring him home to you. Coyne here, old fellow, and see your new mistress." The dog pattered up obediently, auto Dnngvan lifted him onto the couch that Dot might strokehim. "He's a darling," said the little' girl, rapturously; "such nice eyes be has, and half his face black and half white, and a white and yellow coat." "White and tan," cortected Donovan. "He'll be a capital dog when he's full grown; he's quite young now. What shall we call` him? Harlequin?" "No, that's too long, and it wast .2nean something that's lost and all alone," said Dot, meditatively. Dover would do, only it's so corn ..anon." "Vagabond, Tramp, Waif, or ,:Stray," suggested Donovan. "Oh! Waif—that's beautiful, and ...so nice to say. Does that mean '. something that's all alone, with nobody to take care of it?" "Yes,a thing tossed up by cheece; it'll just suit the beggar. We must teach him—" he broke off hastily as the door opened and rose to gleet his Mother; but their greeting was llirisef, for a sudden barking, yelling, and howling filled the room, and eansed both mother and son to turn hastily. There stood the handsome Pomo- ,e ranian iu a perfect fury, his tail ;$riatling with wrath, and there, from his vantage ground on the :starch, stood the plucky little Waif, 'barking vigorously in self defence. Defoe Donovan could re -cross the xoom, Fido had sprung on to the .'>`oonch, and had seized the smaller dog by the ear, while poor I)ot shrunk back in terror, adding her cries to the general hnbub. Dono- :'raia's first care was to put one of e::his arms between her and the coin - Intents, and then seizing his oppor- ,; unity to sweep both dogs on to the 'efioor with the other.

"Where did this dreadful new dog come from?" asked Mrs Far- :>i'ant. "I never saw a more hideous ;creature. You surely don't intend to keep it in the house?"

Hi guardianship was likely to prove very convenient aid in the further ance of his scheme, for what could be more natural than that he should frequently go down to inspect his young wards, and what could offer wore convenient oeportunities for winning his way with Mrs Farrant than such visits? A little time, however, must be allowed to pass first. Ellis made arrangement, forstaying in town till the middle of July, and resolved to go down to Oakdene then for as long a visit as seemed advisable. His arrival really pleased and roused Mrs Farrant, for it must be owned that Otkdene had not been the liveliest of homes during the summer. Visitors of course had not been received; Dono-van had been unusually taciturn and moody; and though the, favorite Fido, and the unfailing succession of new books, and the comfortable sofa by the open window, rendered life bearable, any interruption to such quiet monotony was a relief even to one so indolent as Mrs Farrant. To Donova i the arrival of his cousin brought a strange mixture of annoyance and satisfaction. He too was glad of an interruption to the dreary quiet of the house, but nevertheless Ellis managed to irri- tate him not a little. TO BE CONTINUED,. r; n t y s a a a WILSON'S FLY POISON PADS.
