She sat in the Redwoods' pew at Max-
well Chureh, On ChristmasDay, with
an aehing heart, and heard the angels'
message of peace on earth with an aw-
ful sense of incongruity; reminded that
Philip, who had not written for months
and was supposed to be shut up in
Lucknow, if alive, was one of a small
band beleaguered by innumerable foes,
reputed demons of cruelty; when the
familiar sentence which had so early
struck her Imagination, "for every bat-
tle of the warrior is with confused
noise and garments rolled in blood,"
rang through the church, she turned
sick at the endless battle scenes it sug-
gested, scenes in which Philip was ever
present, dimly seen through fire -cloven
clouds of smoke. "While shepherds
watched their flocks," she sang, her
eyes clouded with tears, and, looking
up, she became aware of the intent
gaze of a lady in the Marwell Court
pew—a gaze which WAS repeated and
Interrupted by the raising of Jessie's
eyes several times during the sermon.
"Whatever made Miss Lonsdale look
our way like that?" Cousin Jane asked
at dinner. "There was nothing wrong
with my bonnet, Jessie, was there? I
am sure yourn was as neat as a new
pin. And if Plummer did go to sleep
with his mouth wide open, as though
he expected the sermon to jump down
his throat, it's nothing but what she've
been accustomed to ever since she was
as high as the table. And I'm sure my
mourning is deep enough for a sister."
Miss Lonsdale was at the same mo-
ment asking Lady Gertrude who "that
charming girl" in mourning" with the
Plummers was, and how a creature so
graceful came among such rustics.
"Charming girl? Graceful creature?
Pathetic? Refined?" murmured Lady
Gertrude; bewildered. "I saw no
stranger, Clara, and I usually look
rcund the church; one owes it to the
people.
"Clara has discovered another pro-
digy," said her cousin, Hugh Medway.
"Be merciful, Clara. Leave the rose
to wither on its stem."
"You probably mean little Jessie
Meade, the miller's daughter," Sir Ar-
thur added. "You must often have
seen her.before, Clara. She is.certain-
ly growing into a very nice looking
girl. But the refinement soon wears
off in that class."
This speech put Miss Lonsdale on her
mettle. "Do not imagine," she re-
plied, "that our class has the monopo-
ly of everything, Uncle .Arthur. That
sweet girl at no age could be anything
but rehned. She has a history, too, I
saw it in her face,. She moved among
the rnstits, in coming out of church
like a stray princess. These ridicul-
ous aristocratic class prejudices!"
"Clara waves the red flag—A bas les
aristocrates! Vive •le peuple souver-
ian?" commented Hugh teasingly.
"My dear girl; I do so admire that
little sweep of the hand; it brushed the
whole upper ten in a mass to perdition.
It really is a pity that ladies cannot
enter parliament.
"It is," she replied, with unabated
majesty. "Jessie," she added, musing-
ly., "a caressing sort of name, soft but
not sufficiently dignified for her."
A few days later Sir Arthur lament-
ed in her hearing that, what with one
thing and another, he had not a horse
fit to ride that morning, and supposed
he must -walk. RedWoods was not so
very far, but he wished also to call at
Ferndale and Little•Marwell.
"Why not let me drive you?" Clara
said; "the ponies want exercise, and I
like an object for a drive."
"Thank you, ray dear, I shall be too
glad to avail myself of the honor, if
you do not mind pottering about with
an old fellow," he replied; so the ponies
were brought round, and they started,
Sir Arthur half buried in furs like a
Russian prince, his niece fully occupied
with her ponies, who sniffed up the
frosty air as they tossed their pretty
manes and made believe to take every
bush and stone for an enemy.
•-They-drove through tlre park; 3,-fheiTer
the noble oaks and beeches bore fairy
like foliage of hoar frost instead of
green summer leaves on the fine tracery
of their boughs, which sparkled with
delicate jewel flashes against the pale
bine sky; through the village, where
the •,rime crystals glittered on thatch-
ed roofs, and 'women at cottage doors
dropped' courtesies; past the inn with
its swinging sign, the school house
withits. hive like hum, thence along
the high road. They soon came to a
comfortable farm house standinga
little way back from the road in a trim
flower garden, fenced by a low stone
wall over whieh the dainty little "rov-
ing sailor" spread its shining trails,
and yellow stone crop and patches of
green and gold moss crept. The house
was of gray stone, half hidden by
creepers, which in summer made a
very bower of bloom; the tiled roof
was richly embroidered by yellow
lichen, that caught and kept the sun-
shine in reserve so as to throw a gold-
en glow over gloomy, days; the warm
brown tiles roofed the barns and other
buildings in the yard, and were simil-
arly embroidered by nature's hand:
the pale yellow stacks beneath a group
of elms in the rick yard glowed in the
frosty sunbeams and sent out a rich
odor of corn together with a pleasant
radiance; it was a sunny place, sugges-
tive of summer and warm comfort.
So Miss Lonsdale thought when she
stopped the ponies at the garden gate,
by an old fashioned flight of stone
steps in the wall.
CHAPTER VI.
REDWOODS.
The sound of wheels on the frost
bound road and the appartitions of
Miss Lonsdale's bright plumed hat
above the hedge row, oecasioned a cer-
tain excitement within Redwooks
Farm.
"Patience alive!" exclaimed Mrs
Plummer, "Sir Arthur and Miss Lons-
dale! and me in a cap I wouldn't be
seen out of my own family with for
five pounds. Dear! dear! to think that
I must he brushing the cheese in my
oldest dairy gown this morning of all
others."
"Never mind, cousin." said Jessie
"people can't expect you to be in full i
dress at this hour."
'Tull dress! Well. there. Jessie, I
never did come across your equal for
want of feeling," complained Mrs
Plummer, in a tearful voice, "and not

"but you will be disappointed. I am

y "Poor child!" said "Clara, in a rich,

e Jessie rose quickly and knelt before
, the fire, very busy at mending it, with
✓ her face averted from the lady. Clara
✓ smiled a peculiar 4t,tle smile that Jes-
t
plump, firm arms, a very ingy 01
shawl was pinned over her shoulders
her cap had reached the lowest ran
in the cap scale, of which Jessie believ
ed there were ten grades, each grad
fitted for some special time and occu
pation; the bunches of curls whic
adorned either side of her face at mor
ceremonial hours, were now rolled u
in one solid curl at each temple, givin
her round, apple cheeked face a sever
ity,more suitable for awing serving
mains than for welcoming distinguish
ed guests; to crown all she wore, tied
high up over the ends of the crossed
shawl, a large, coarse apron, the string
of which refused to do anything bu
tie themselves in knots while she wit
shouting complaints and directions t
Jessie.
"Well, if ever I was in a pickle fo
visitors!" she might well exclaim, on
surveying herself in the glass.
Jessie was soon opening the door te
receive the guests; visitors veryrarely
had occa,sion to ring at Redwoods. 1
was deemed inhospitable not to go out
to welcome them as soon as they ap
peared in sight. The sight of her caus
ed Sir Arthur to remove his hat from
his head and himself from the low pony
chaise, and confirmed Miss Lonsdale
in her admiration. The touch of the
ungallant frost, which does not hesi
tate to nip the nose of rarest beauty,
only brought a delicate rose to Jessie's
cheeks, the sunshine fell full in her
face, causing her to lift one slender
hand to shade her beautiful eyes, while
with the other she held a light blue
wrapper, one end of which was thrown
over her head, beneath her chin; her
bright hair, the true "choime d'or all
aura sparse" so dear to Tasso, glittered
in tiny ruffled rings about her temples,
as if each separate hair were a beam
of light. Appearing thus, tall and
slim, in her plain black dress, while
some white piegons, startled by the
wheels, flew up with clanging wings
and settled on the lichen bordered
brown roof above her, she was a de-
lightful vision. She stepped lightly
down the garden walk, unconscious of
the admiration she evoked, to ask Sir
Arthur if he would walk in while she
sent a boy to fetch Mr Plummer, who
was somewhere about the farm.
Sir Arthur perferred to go in search
of Mr Plummer himself, and when he
was gon., Jessie went out to ask Miss
Lonsdale to come in.
She assented with a smile, and laying
the reins aside, alighted. Tall, well
made, warmly clad in rich furs, with
the jewel like breast of a bird glowing
irridescent in her hat, with that inde-
finable air of one daily used to polished
humax/P intercourse and the constant
homage due to an absolute ,grace of
speech and movement—Clara Lonsdale
seemed to Jessie, who rarely saw any
but homely, often uncouth people, a
being from a more gracious sphere,
and her clear glance fell with a becom-
ing deference before the penetrating
gaze of the lady's golden brown eyes.
• "Not Mrs Plummer's daughter,l-em
sure," she said, in a voice naturally
musical, but the more so because of a
softer accent than that to which Jes-
sie was used.
"No," she replied, opening. the door
for Miss Lonsdale to pass in, -"I am
Mrs Plummer's cousin, Jessie Meade."
She led her into large, low room
with heavy furniture, and two fair
sized casement windows with deep
cushioned seats. Some sporting prints
adorned the walls, two guns were on a
rack over the chimney piece, massive
silver tankards, gleamed upon a side
table, a bright fire blazed in a large
grate with hobs to it, here_ _stoodav-
high-bircked Wooden arm chair which
Jessie placed for her guest. The bat-
tered form of Sebastopol reposed in a
tight tabby coil near the fire; just in
front of a window stood a small easel
holding a canvas on which a land-
scape in oil was beginning. to -show; the
palettes, brushes, and tubes of color
scattered near showed that the artist
had but just left work. An old bureau
with its sloping desk top closed, stood
against one wall, and a sofa, wide
enough to serve for a bed at a pinch,
was against another; a few pots of
growing flowers were in the window,
and a dish of russet red apples on the
Sop of the bureau. All these details
Miss Lonsdale took in at one rapid
glance. The interior was cosy, yet
there was a lack of something—which
she soon discovered to be books. These
were few but not select. One leather
broken backed tome With an illegible
title served to raise a flower pot into
the light, another made a press for Mrs
Plummer's cap laces and ribbons.
Jessie went straight. to a cupboard by
the fire place and took out a dish of
round golden brown cakes and some
decanters and wine .glasses, which she
placed on the table, in accordance with
the unwritten custom that supposed
all guests to be hungry.
"Mrs Plummer's doughnuts are ir-
resistible," Miss Lonsdale said, accept-
ing one with a smile that went straight
to Jessie's fresh heart; a rare smile that
came slowly and made her seem beau-
tiful, though not really so.
Jessie smiled brightly back, the smile
of a grateful child. "It would be no
use," she said, "for my cousin to make
doughnuts, if no one came to appreci-
ate them."
"There is reason in that," Miss Lons-
dale returned; "there are in art two
essential factors, the artist and the
amateur or admirer."
"Yes,"• Jessie rejoined, "it would he
futile to write even an 'Iliad,' if there
were no readers."
This, Miss Lonsdale reflected, was
not what one might expect from a
miller's daughter of eighteen, and
wondered to what extent the young
lady was cODSci oils of her superiority.
But Jessie, who sat on the other side
of the hearth sideways to the window,
in such a manner am; the sunshine
lighted her face and kindled the gold
of her hair, looked perfectly tincon-
SeiOns of self.
"You must be very lonely," Miss
Lonsdale said, with an abru tness that
brought the color to Jessie s face. yet
with an accent that bespoke such a
•
me could not see, and with ready tac
went over to the easel. -
"From nature?" '-she asked, with
some surprise, when she saw the dis
tent park with the village and church
in the foreground all firmly and truly
,
sketched. 'From nature in winter,
too! You have a good deal of feeling
for landscape, Miss Meade."
Jessie had persuaded Philip, who re
cognized her 'decided talent, to let he
exchange Miss Blushford's pencil draw
ings and water color flowers and fru'
for lessons from a broken down artist
whose constant potations had not been
able to quench aspark of genius which
might have brought him to the fron
rank, and under this inan she had
made some progress and learnt to cher
ish great hopes. Had she seen many
of the great masters? Who was her
teacher? Did she know the Claude
Lorraine at, Marwell? Had she seen
the De Wints and Constables? She
could scarcely believe that Miss Meade
had seen nothing and yet painted so
charmingly.
While they were standing thus at
the easel, Cousin Jane, her curls beau-
tifully arranged in glossy bunches on
either cheek, with a cap five grades
higher than that of the cheese brush-
ing, and her afternoon gown and apron
on, came in and was'complimented up-
on her doughnuts. Ahnost at the
same moment Sir Arthur was seen re-
turning to the carriage, so Miss Lons-
dale took leave and went out to join
him,raccompained by Jessie, who stood
until the pony phaeton with its smart
groom, Russian prince Sir Arthur, and
bright plumed lady driver had vanish-
ed like soree ethereal vision.
Then she turned:delicately flushed
with a pleasant excitement and ran
with a spyinging step in from the frosty
air, singing some snatch of a song in
the glow kindled by this passing
glimpse of another kind of life. A long
dorment something woke within her
under the spell of the lady's gracious
presence; her voice, her face, her smile
set many currents astir in her half pe-
trified, half crushed nature. It was
wonderful to Jessie that she should at
once have detected her loneliness, not
the loneliness natural to a young crea-
ture bereft of kindred and friends, but
that more invincible loneliness of one
who lives among uncongenial and un-
sympathetic natures. Even Philip had
never seen this; Philip, with all his
tenderness, held her but a slight, mind-
less, colorless creature.
"And to think," mourned Mrs Plum-
mer, "that the parlor should have been
all •littered up with your painting
messes—and the smell too, as if the
house was being done up—for company
to see."
"Miss Lonsdale paints herself, cous-
in," Jessie replied, gently. "I don't
think she minded it. Please let me do
a little more now the light is good. I
will make all tidy bydinner time."
"To be sure, Jessie, I'm not one to
go against my own flesh and blood,"
continued Mrs-PlunarileF, in 5:resigned-
voice; "and if you are to be an officer's
lady, tidy ways of plain folk can't be
expected of you. But 'tis a pity. Many
a time I've spoke to your poor mother
against the way you were bred up, ne-
ver to soil a hand. And I always told
your poor father the day would come
he'd repent it. But I might as well
have talked to that cat."
Sebastopol, whom Mrs Plummer
equally disliked and feared, was not
the only waif from the mill that found
refuge beneath her hospitable roof. It
chanced that she needed both a dairy
and a cow man soon after Mr Meade's
-death,_and-set,--her-hescrt-upon Sarah,-
the maid, and Abraham Bush, the
miller's man. One obstacle prevented
her from engaging them; they were
not married, and the Redwood's cow-
man and dairy woman had always
hitherto been man and wife. After
some reflection, she commanded her
husband to open negotiations with
Abraham, and at a certain stage to
inform him that his bachelor condition
was a bar to the office. At the same
time she broke ground with Sarah and
lamented that it was impossible to
come to terms with a woman who had
no husband.
"You never gave a thought to marry-
ing, I suppose, Sarah," she said at this
stage,

"August
Flower"
This is the query per -
What Is petually on your little
boy's lips. And he is
no worse than the big-
ger, older, balder -head-
ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. "What is it for?" we con-
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: "What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR ?' As easily
answered as asked: It is for Dys-
pepsia. It is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To -day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
facturing plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. It is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along—it
cures Dyspepsia.
