The widow of an English army or -
was visiting me with her son,
a charming little !dhow about five
years old. The mother told we with
pride how honorable tie was, how
high-minded, ,9.nd that- she had never
for an Instant seen in him Indications
of any trait -that -were low or base.
The child was put to bed every
night at 6. We dined at 7. I was
sitting in the drawing room one
evening before dinner. The, room
was dark, the doors open, and my
seat commanded a view of both the
stairway- and the dining moat. The
table was set and in the center was
a..disli of tempting peaches. Present-
ly 'there came to my ears the patter
of idittle bare feet, and a childish
figure, clad in a night gown, stole
down the stairs, through the hall,
into the dining room, up to the ta-
ble. Small lingers seized the topmost
peach from the Mush, and the Itt-
tie fellow turned and trotted away
upstairs again.
WI I sat in the dark, In an agony
of apprehension, there came again

CHAPTER XIV. '
That vaele of Mrtamer's—hard as
I tried, and, us I believe, Babble
tried, to cheat myself into believing
the contrary—spolled the ole frank
Intercourse between us for ever. It
was my fault, I know. Dreams that
stirred my soul and shook my body
had epruag up suddenly on that
faint Wain of a spurious tie between
me and the girl I had before half -
unconsciously loved, Now; my long -
torpid paseloos stirred with life again
and held Wolper& Night revels
within me. Our lessons had to be
laid by for, a times \Ogle I went sal-

myself that it had been- long zie-
gleet of my rod that had caused for-
gotten passions and yearnings to
rua riot la my blood in this undieelp-
lined manner. But it would
not do; Tired out, I would drag me'
way home, eat it huge dinner, and
sink half -asleep into my old chair.

NIGHTMARE
AND ITS CURE,
I!
Those who suffer from- nightmare
and the number ie legion—may be in-

manor instances to preventable
causes. 'Somethnes these are due to
prolonged wakefulness, a radical
change in diet, or faulty position of
the bode, mice as lying upoin; the'
bads or fare. Sometimes it is due
to some mechanical hatereerence,
such as an adieUriern or even swol-
len tonsils. West laas reported a ease
in which, in, spite of all hygienic
treatment, nightmare continued ev-
ery night for a long period, due it
wus discovered after careful coe
slderatioa to a prolonged uvula,
wretch during sleep in prone position,

the point of this- mielnevous uvula
caused the permanent discon thiu-
anee of Mlle 'Visits of the nightmare.
In nervous person's, emotional in

by grew -some tales of woeful spec-
tacles, grief, discouragement, hat-
red, anger, etc. In, fact, Vile most
Intense nightmare Is due. to exhal-
ations of passiont, duo to the loss
of dearly loved relatives or friends,
sudden and extreme reverse of /or -
time, disappointed ambition, the fear
of disease, or even a shock to one's
self love and esteem., which, as has
been aptly said, slays more victims
than love.
The treatment of nightmare con-
sists In awakening the subject and,
U there is perturbation of mind, giv-
ing some mildly sedative potion, such
as warm Nvaaor sweetened with syrup
of lettuce. Following this care should.
be taken to remove the supposed'

Stories and grewsome tales should be
Avoided, especially before bedtime.
The child should be put to bed early
to avoid the exciting environment of
the social circle, of animated cow/er-
g/action and convivial jollity. The
evening meal should be a light one,

ooa and drink, avoiding highly spiced
relishes and stimulating drinka. The
haraber should be specious and well
ventilated, the bed not too soft and
without too much ben clothing, Pew -

of false positions and perfect free-
dom ; all compression interfering with

avoided. The feet ought to be warm

came in sight of a big she bear with
two cubs followieg in single file, pro-

the three being sharply silhoueted
against the sky. It was a very long

so drew a bead on the old she bear
and fired. The result tvas curious.
