She was seated on the grass, with her
shtulders propped up against a ca.rnp
stood; there were twu or three gardeu
benches staeiding about, but she said
she preferred to sit on the grass--tt
made her feel more "country."
To intensify this feeling ehe had
clothed her fresh young beauty In a
marvelous organdy, so shear that her
arms gleamed through it like alabast-
er, and had pinned on her bright head
a great hat drooping with ruses. By
her side leaned a white parasol edged
Noahlace.

—"To Betty," he said; "may la r

"Betty was asking me about you
the other day," said the girl; "she
wanted to know if you still road and
boated and swam like you used to.
I told her you had given up dancing
because of the exertion," She looked at
him innocently,
"Did she ask you anything about
your own life ?" said Markland sit -
ling up—a resume of how you put in
you time during the winter season In
town might be interesting to her, and
certainly profitable."
"Anything I do is interesting to her,"
She responded, coldly.
"Do you know," he said, "I have
been marveling over you ever since I
carne. I cannot quite realize that you
have been ten days in the country
without being bored. How have you
accomplished it ? I thought that the
day of miracles was past."
"My good Tony," remarked Miss
Gresham, patronizingly, "you must
not judge other people by yourself; it
is a very foolish and narrow-minded
way of doing. Because you cannot ex -
let happily without yourcitubs and thea -
tree is no reason why I can't."
"I never knew you helonge' to a
club," observed Markland, mildly.
"Have you developed into the won-
der, a new woman ?"
"Oh, onsense ! You know I was
areakl4 figuratively ! I mean that I
am not, edded to ally particular state
of things—that I can adopt myself to
circumstances and enjoy whatever
comers.,"
"Can you ? How delightful ! But,
jesting aside, has it not been rather
slow for you here, without any girls
for you to see through and scorn and
b? amused by—nor men to analyze and
draw you out and get interested in ?"
"How do you knew there have been
no men ?"
"I have your own word for 1t. I
heard you refuse four of your best
friends permission to visit yon dawn

Idi'tt. Angell turned a new page 1n
her book, and went on reading with
a face of placid interest. Juliet came
a stele or two shawl.
"Mrs. Angell, 1 must go."
"Just as yuu please, altss Elmer;

The blood rushed in a hot tide to
Juliet Elmer's brow at this cruel stab.
"Mr•s. Angell 1" she pleaded.
But the lady heed up her jeweled
hand deprecatingly.
Juliet was silent. For an instant she
vets half rc•solt ed to rush from the
hutse, never again to set eyes on this
hard -parted• elegantly attired tyrant.
But then she remembered the quarter
t'•hlch expired that week, and thought
of the many comforts and necessities
that the fifty dollars were to purchase
for her mother,
Shp threw up her hands with a des-
pairing gesture, and then her face set-
tler' into white, uncomplaining pallor,
"Mrs. Angell, you are very cruel to
me ! but Gcd is over us all."
Then she went slowly away towards
the school -room.
How long the short December day
Fcemed, flow slowly the tiny hands of
the tittle school -room clock moved over
their dial. Juliet could almost have de-
clared that they stood absolutely still,
as from time to time she glanced at
them with feverish eagerness,
"Are you sick, Miss Elmer ?" ques-
tioned little Nina, looking up, as the
governess stooped over the French ex-
ercise book; " your hands are so hot."
" Sick ; yes, heart -sick 1" sald Juliet,
almost involuntarily. Then recollect-
ing herself she murmured :
"Dear little Nina, may this trial
neve?' come to you 1"
It was quite dark at five, the hour at
which Miss Elmer was released from
her bondage. Nor was the weather
out-of-doors at all reassuring to her
state of mind. The snow had turned
t,t a dull. driving sleet, the pavements
were as slippery as glass. But Juliet

She pondered a moment.
"Come," she said, "I will compro-

gether, but you must not think of

taking her hand—"wear this for my

He drew her glove off very gently
and slipped a loop of diamonds on her
fir ger.
The blood flashed to her cheeks.
"Tony 1" she cried, the full meaning
of his action breaking over her, "Tony,
I don't understand. I—"

drawing a reassuring arm about her,

It was one of the bitterest of De-

And she looked eomplaren11y rrntnil
at the elegantly furnished little bou-
doir whore she sat. A handt:ome octa-
gi nal room, its wall panelled in oak
to,levt and gold, with a heavy tracery
of gold vineleaves around the ceiling
by way of cornice, it had all the charts
of novelty.
Mrs, Angell herself was a pretty
brunette of about 30, with hard, brll-
Ii. nt Il irk py"s, hair brushed in the
fnihlnnabte style, away from a square,
low forehead; and lips that, although
rather thin, were of the brightest ver-

Mrs. Angell, after she had recognized

She gazed at the tall young man who

"You—you will engage me for your

LA GRIPPE'S VICTIMS.
A SCOURGE MORE To RE DREADED
THAN PESTILENCE.
THE STORY OF A NOVA SCOTIAN LADY
WHO ALMOfi'.0 LOST HER LIFE THROUGH
THE RAVAGES OF THIS TROUBLE --
UNABLE TO PEED HERSELF AND HAD
TO BE CARRIED TO AND FROM BED.
From the Acadian, Wolfville, N. S.
In the __spring of IS91 the many friends
of Mrs, Mary Freeman, in Wolfville,
N. S„ very gladly welcomed her re-
turn home after a long absence from
her native town, but it was with the
deepest grief that, they beheld in her
the prey of a disease of almost incred-
ible severity. It appeared to all that
the brightest future in store for her
was but a few months of suffering ex-
istence. Not long after her return,
however, the people of Wolfville were
surprised to hear that after using a few
boxes of Dr, \Villiarns' Pink Pills she
had become almost completely well.
Auxit'us to hear the truth of this sur-
prising report, our reporter waited on
11178. F144..11111 at the earliest opput tum-
i(y. Front her he received a full ac-
count of her painful illness and re-
markable recovery. In January of
IS,S9, Mrs. Freeman, who was then liv-
ing in i''oxhnry, Mass., wits severely
attacked by la grippe. She had partly
recovered w'I1et1 a relapse followed, and
while recovering from its effects, she
was seized by acute rheumatism and
neuralgia. The combined sieknet re-
sulted in completely break irigdown her
constitution. Upon recovering front
neuralgia., she one Clay noticed a little
pimple on her lt'ft ankle which became
exceedingly painful. It grew rapidly,
soon becoming as large as a gold dollar
and breaking into a cunning sore.
Others immediately followed and soon
the whole body was covered, the lirnbs
becoming terribly swollen. The most
eminent physicians of Boston were ap-
pealed to, but beyond informing her
that the ailment was due to a courplote
Iy run-down system, they rendered her
no assistance. In the spring of 1894,
she came to Nova Scotia, hoping that
charge of climate would effect a eure,
but to no purpose. Bone ulcer's, great-
ly exceeding in painfulness the sores
which first appeared, manifested
themselves. She soon lost the 7180
of her limbs, became unable to
feed herself, and w'ns compelled to
be carried to and from her
bed. tier eyes became weak and she
was thus denied the enjoyment of
rending, After many remedies had
been tried rtnt1 proved useless, Dr. Wil-
liams' Pint( Pills were finally appealed
to. Scarcely six boxes had been con-
sumed when the ulecra showed symp-
toms of healing, the appetite grew bet-
ter and her general health greatly im-
hproved. Mince that time her condition
>as steadily improved, anti her health
is now far hotter than it WAS previous
to heti serious illness. Siwe a slight,
stiffness of the limbs, she shows no
signs of the terrible scourge she has
passed through. Mrs. Freeman is not,
utinind1ul of the great obligai,ion she
is under to this remarkable medicine,
and she is anxious that the wonderful
core which it has effected should be
generally known.
The experience of years has proved
that, there in absolutely no disease dne
to a vitiated condition of the blood or
shattered nerves, that Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills will not promptly cure, and
those who are suffering from such trou-
bles would avoid much misery and save
money by promptly resorting to this
treatment. Get the genuine Pink Pills
every time and do not he persuaded to
take an imitation or some other remedy
from a dealer, who, for the sake of the
extra proflt to himself, may, say is
"just as good." Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills make rich, red blond, and (Tire
