She has self-respect, and pluck and good na- ture, and so Captain Lacy cannot even think lie has slighted her or trifled with her," says Mintie, de- cidedly "And, as I said before, if she is' not sorry or vexed, you would be only doing her an injury by taking the matter up as an insult and an injury." Aramintlta, my dear, do you suppose -do you suppose for one moment," Mr. Deane says, tragically, "that my daughter would give her hand without her .heart 7" "1 .suppose that girls have done such a thing pretty often before now," retorts Mintte. My child is bearing herself with dignity In the matter, I am glad to see," Mr. Deane says, pompously. "Sire has asserted herself in tide disgraceful affair, and is even gra- elous to this mean and the adven- turess who has married him for his position!' Gracious!" Mintie says again, but rather flashing her brilliant eyes at her lord, wlio is' asserting himself more than she likes; "don't call people pantie, Mr. Deane. You might as well say I was an adventuress be- cause I married you le a hurry, and because I wanted position and money, and didn t dislike you. I've no doubt Captain Lacy leas married a lady, whoever the is; he couldn't endure her if elle wasn't -and I've no doubt either, that she will make him as good a wife as I shall make you. And if you doubt about Gillian's feel - Inge in the affair, why in creation don't you open her letter and read it, and see what she says?" Thus adjured, Mr. Deane opens the Letter and reads it through - poor little Milian's almost eloquent defence of ,her faithless admirer. "Oh! she is talking nonsense, poor girl!" he says, testily throwing the letter down. "Of course she despises the fellow, and upholds her own dig- nity in not condescending to let Trim see how she feels." "Hand nee the letter, please,", Mrs. Deane says, coolly, and reads it through in her turn. "Of course she doesn't do anything of the kind," she says, tersely, "She is a real, nice, generous hearted girl, and -if you'll take nay advice, Herbert" -this in very marked accents-, "you will just' do ne your daughter wishes you to do, forgive Captain Lacy for not spoiling her life in marrying her when he was head and ears in love with another woman, and when she -was head and ears in love with another man--" "Wbo ?

"I know because --1 know, and that is all I t'an tell you just now, Mr. Deana," the fair oracle in a satin - and -Lace tea -gown answere with some asperity. "Write a sensible, good-natured letter to Captain Lae,v, and tell hint sou are glad that the engagement between lain and your daughter has ended so well for all parties, and that you are going over To Ireland, and that yon ivill be pleased to meet him again and be introduced to the Lady he has mar- ried."

The "few days," however, stretch into a week, and as Laey's and Gil- lian's letters have not been written until ten days after her return to Ireland, and then been delayed a day or two in London, it is three. weeks from the time she returned -in fact, on the very evening of the burglar's attack -when DIr. Vezina and his wife reach Dublin after a very rough crossing which prostrates him for the whole of the next day. But on the following morning he telegraphs to itis daughter that he and her stepmother will be in BatlY- ford at the Imperial Hotel that after- noon, and trusts that "Sir Harry Darner will kindly escort her so far on her journey home." At five o'clock that afternoon they are at the Imperial Irate!, in Bally - ford, for a certainty, awaiting Gil- lian's arrival. But when she does ar- rive. thickly veiled, and dressed in deep mourning, Afro. Deane is as- tounded almost as much as her hus- band. to perceive that tfii'ian's escort ha a tall, stalwart, handsome young man, dressed also in deep black, on whose arm she is leaning.

When an animal is all run down, has a rough coat and a tight hide, anyone knows that his blood is out of order. To keep an animal econo- mically, he must be in good health.
