Among the Heather, BY CARL BRICKETT. "Hallo! Murray! Brown ! where are you?" . But echo alone answers the sports- man cry. In the ardor of his pursuit of the game that in the end has eluded his gun, the young man has wandered away from his companions, never -im- agining it would be possible for him to lose his way. But now as he calls again and no voice replies, he comes to the conclusion that such is the fact, and unless he be successful in retracing his steps the prospect of passing the night upon the heath is before him. Just as he 'inakes his mind up to the latter, a soundof singing comes to him. Ile is a woman's voice, clear and lilting as a bird's. Following the direction of the sweet sounds, the sportsman turns the corner of a rocky pass, and there, seated upon the heather, at the foot of a lichen boulder, he sees the loveliest vision it has ever been his privilege to gaze upon. A maiden, fair as a poet's dream, with a form rounded in the most, perfect womanly symmetry, but a face in which the innocence and freshness of childhood mingle with the beauty that beams from every charm- ing feature. A thrill of intense admiration pulses through the young man's frame as, everything else forgotten, his fingers . instinctively seek his pocket. His pen- cil is there, but paper—yes an envelope, it will do. Ali unaware that she is ob- served, the young girl retains her un- conscious position Intent only upon the wild flowers with which her lap is filled. And, more rapidly than he has ever worked before, the sportsman of a moment since—the artist now—with skilful fingers draws as if life depended upon every stroke. The sketch is but half completed when, attracted by the magnetism there always is in an intent gaze, the maiden looks up. The song ceases ab- "`ruptly as Che springs- to her feet with blushing confusion not unmixed with fear. "` But the latter is soon allayed, as "s doffing his cap, and with the courtly grace of manner that' has stood him well before now, the young man apol- ogizes for startling her, and explains as well his own dilemma; how he has lost his way, and had just been making up his mind to passing the night where he was, "That you need not do sir," the girl replies, in tones as sweet in speak- ing as they had been in singing. My father's cottage is but a short distance away, If you come hither with me, I know that he will willingly lead you to the' main road. I myself would do so were the dusk not so near." Pulling of his watch the young man sees with st .'prise, that it is six o'clock. "Your ofiffer is kind," he answers, "and I will accept it; and as it is so late, it may be that I will tax your fa• ther's hospitality until the morning— that is, if my presence will be welcome." It is early morning six weeks later, and, equipped for shooting, with his bag by is side and his long gun over his shoulder, our friend of the preced- ing lines is starting alone from his lodging house, when a voice behind him calling his name brings him to a standstill. "How now, Edgar? Off again alone before a civilized man ought to have abandoned his pillow. You're a pretty sporting companion. I say, old fellow, what quarry are you hunting that you find solitude so desirable? Hold on 1 I'm going with you to -day." A frown contracts Edgar's handsome brow, but , he waits perforce until his comrade joins him. And thus that day a maiden's blue eyes look from out the cottage window in vain for the corning of the handsome young lover wbo but a short time since was an en- tire stranger, but now has grown to be so near and dear to her innocent hear t. That evening, when Edgar returns from his day's sport, an ominous yel- low -covered missive is put in his hands. His face pales as he reads it. "Come home at once," it says.— "Your brother, Reginald, is dead, and your mother is dangerously ill." "Murray, I must leave for England at once. Read this," Edgar says, as he hands the telegram to his companion. Then he continues: "Leon I am going to ask you to do a favor for me." "You well know, Edgar, that any- thing that lies in my power is never too much for me to do for you who have always done so much for me," Leon Murray answers, simply, and Edgar believes him. Another day sees Edgar on bis home- ward way, and Leon Murray standing in mute surprise, his glib tongue for once at loss for words, before the love- ly girl whose artless beauty has won the impulsive susceptible heart of his friend. The letter is from Leon Murray, and runs thus i "The girl never was worthy of you, and now that you. are no longer the nun er brother, but the head of your noble name, anely you can feel but re- lief at such an easy release from what e fter all—do not be angry at me for rey bluntness—was but a foolish ro- mantic attaehinent, Howe er, to telt the truth, T` was' most thoroughly amazed When I heard that the lovely creature, whose faith I could have sworn by, when I 'saw the tears gun from her blue eyes, as I gave 'her your farewell message, net two, weeks after she was married to a man old enough to be her father; though, when I un- derstood that he was trolling in wealth, and knowing that she deemed you but a penniless artist, my astonishment spmewhat abated. Bear it like a man, Old fellow. Indeed she was not worth sorrowing for. I wish I might tell you this by word of mouth; but it will probably be sometime before you see me again, as I have prowised to join a yachting excursion to go over to Italy." "Faith ! Truth! The terms are but empty air as applied to women." Rising, Edgar prices the room rest- lesely. Suddenly he pauses, and draws his figure to its full height with a proud gesture. " `Bear it like a man!' That I will, and do my best to forget the mad dream whose sweetness was but a de- lusion." But the victor out leaving ins in the world, there was no tie home death had for years he bee Y g A month later, seated in the spacious library of his ancestral home, with an expression of deep defpondency upon his face, is Lord Edgar Dugal. His sombre mourning attire tells of recent bereavement. Though he had come upon the wings of the wind, his haste had been of no avail. The shock of h's elder brother's sudden death had been too much for the mother's frail health, never rallied. Now, she had a to odd to his depth of trouble, the letter, open in his hand,'tells him of the faith- lessness of her whom he had deemed spotless purity a r truth itself. tw y was not gained with- out marks. Alone and his own master, to chain Edgar to the made so desolate, and ams a wanderer. At length, after a lapse of time, he once more returned to England. It would have been almost impossible to see any resemblance in the bearded face, with its stern, sad expression, to the youthful countenance he had borne away seven years before. And Lord Edgar's Menus had found him changed in other ways as well, though why it should be so—why one, whofrom his boyhood had been a general favorite, who was talented, rich, seemingly pos- sessed of every benefit in fortune's power to bestow, should be so prema- turely old and grave, all wondered. Lord Edgar had been home but a few months,when one day, in his club, he overheard a conversation, which, in spite of himself, drew his interest. "Beautiful? Yes, peerlessly so, to my taste, and we calf her the 'Lady Charitable.' For, instead of spending her time like most of the girls of our set, in dressing and arming herself for conquest, she goes about among the Door doing good. Her adopted aunt, i,ady Lyndhurst, fairly idolizes her, as well she may. By the by, Parke, if you are so anxious for an introduction, suppose you come with me to Lady Lyndhurst's reception to -morrow even - in "Beautiful and beneficent !" truly an anomaly in the fashionable world !' Edgar thinks, as the speakers move on. "Perhaps I'll break through my rule and go to the Lyndhurst reception. I'm somewhat curious to see if the sub- ject of Lord Vennet's encomiums mer- its them." And so society lifts its gloved hands in amazement as the following evening the grave face of Lord Edgar Ducal is seen among the guests. "The •-recluse .as. emerging from his seclusion," one fair beauty whispers to another behind the convenient fan, and bright eyes beam brighter, and red lips arch themselves to sweeter curves; for the Dugal estate is by no insignificantmeans an one; and its owner, despite his hauteur and indif- ference, was handsome. "Eleanor, let me present to you Lord Edgar Dugal. Lord Dugal, my niece, Miss Loyd." All the blood in Lord Edgar's veins courses for an instant in one mad whirl to his heart as his eyes rest upon the face of the beautiful girl who stands beside his hostess, and who has been presented to him as Miss Loyd. But with a supreme effort he controls himself, and forces himself to reply with the calm courtesy etiquette re- quires. That night, after he returns home, Edgar sits far into the morning, his brain teeming with thoughts in which mingle surprise and conjecture, and above all an overwhelming sense that all in vain has been the battle of years. For, though in what manner the change in her fortunes has been affect- ed he knows not, he has recognized with his first glance in the face of Lady Lyndhurst's adopted niece the lost love of his youth. The next day passes, and the next, and then, though he has struggled with the inclination that draws hire irresistably on, Lord Edgar finds his feet turning in the direction of Lady Lyndhurst's home. - He is given admittance by the butler, who, an old servitor, knows Lord Ed- gar as a family friend, and, without formality, ushers him into the sitting - room, in which he supposes his mis- tress to be. But the room is vacant but for one gracetul form bending over an embroi- dery frame. "Eleanor!" At the sound of her name spoken in such a tone of reproach, mingled with passionate delight and longing, the girl starts to her feet with a faint cry, unmindful of the silks that flutter in a many -colored tangle down upon the polished inlaid floor. .

TH .T-+� C L JI, N T �./♦� N .Ful g RA handsome face has come a look Of hap- piness sueh es it has not known for years, and into his heart a rapture un- speakable, The explanation is simple, and we tell it as Lady Lyndhurst atter ward related it to Lord Edgar. Instead of a true friend, Leon Mur- ray, whom to this dayLord Edgar had not again met, was false both to his friendship and to the trust he had had reposed in pini, With his first sight of Eleanor's fair beauty he had become desperately enamored, and had deter- mined tp part her from Edgar, and, if possible to win her for himself. But though her innocent heart had believed his fraudulent tale of her lover's false- ness and desertion, he lead not succeed- ed in his desires, and though he had left no stone unturned to aid him in his purpose, he had been obliged to admt himself defeated. Then, while still smarting under the pain of believing her love slighted and herself scorned, to verify the adage that troubles never comes singly, Elea- nor's father, her only surviving rela- tive, had died suddenly, and the poor girl had found, herself alone. But she was not without friends, as one of her goodness and loveliness never could be, and when the venerable pastor of the parish, who had known and esteemed her from her childhood, urged her to make her home beneath his roof, she had gratefully consented. Thus it was that Lady Lyndhurst, while sojourning with her royal mis- tress at Balmoral, had seen her with her companions in the choir of the vill- age church, leading with her tuneful voice the simple hymns. When she left Scotland for her Eng- lish home. the queen's train numbered one fair maiden the more. And thus, by a marvellous whirl of that wheel which the fates guide so erratically, the maiden who had opened her eyes in a modest cottage on a Scottish heath was destined to close them amid state - halls, and surrounded by the pomp and grandeur that accompany the every step of those seated in the world's high places. CURED TO STAY. Da E. A. BOSS DISAPPOINTS THE DOUBTERS— HE ONCE HAD DIABETES BUT HAS IT NO MOBS—ATTENDING TO HIS BIO PRIO- TICE. PonrLAND, Ont., Aug. 20—The account which appeared in many Canadian papers a few months ago of Dr E. A. Ross having been cured of diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills, attracted widespread attention at the time. Many douotere, though, protested that the cure was not a permanent one. The best proof that the doubters were wrong is the fact that for a year back, Dr. Ross has been attending to his practice, which was always a large one, in this vil- lage and the surrounding country, and has never had any return of the disease. Hi health is first•class and the doctor is not compelled to take any of the precautions as to diet or otherwise, that are always order- ed for people threatened or troubled with r:liabetes.

An exciting incident took place at Wind - mere on Wednesday afternoon that caused quite an excitement for some time. A boat which was being sailed by Sir John Thomp- son's sons, was upset by a sudden squall. The accident was noticed from the verandah of the hotel, and on an alarm being given several boats started to the rescue. A. boat reached them just as the men were about .leaving the boat to swim ashore, and which' it would be impossible for them to do. They were taken home apparently none the worse for their ducking.
