She will not hear of the horrors which wait on pov- I erty." "May I," began Mona, with a slight hesitation, "may I send my love to your mother ? I am so fond of her.

"My dear Mary, you are a complete enemas!" cried Mona, when she returned to the drawing -room, and found her and Kenenth standing very close together in the window. "I do not know when my poor uncle seemed so happy and. content. She will eut me out, Kenneth." "Ahl that she never will! Nor would ahe wish it. It was a lucky hour for us when I met you, Cousin Mona." "I am glad you think SO, Kenneth. Now we are not to sit up burning lights," continued Mona, laughing. 'There's splendid moonlight, which costs nothing," returned Kenneth. "Let us blow out the candles and have a little talk before we go to bed; we have scarce had a word together yet." The well -assorted trio sat for some time talking softly in the silvery rad- iance of the moon, the delicious perfume of the pine trees breathing on the cool night breeze -and then crept quietly to their respective chambers. Lisle proved a tree prophet. The day but one after his visit, Uncle Sandy and his guests had asembled in the library to their five o'clock tea. This was a serious meal, with bannocks and scones, cookies, bread and. butter, preserves, and toast. It served to support nature till eight o'clock supper, aiter which came prayers and bed. Mr. Craig had just "asked a blessing," when the eound of an ap- proaehing carriage interrupted his attack on the toast and newly -made straw- berry jam. "It is anither visitor," he said. "Why, one might as weel be in Edinburgh or London." "We had not many visitors in Lon- don," observed Mona. As she spoke, Jessie, the youthful housemaid, came hastily Into the room. "There is a leddy speerin' for you, Miss Craig!" she exclaimed, "a brew leddy, in a chaise wi 'twa ?cavities." "It must be Lady Finistoun," said Mona, rising. "I may bring her in, uncle?" "Eh? Surely. Ask her ta tak' a cup of tea." Mona hastened to the door, before which, in a light basket -carriage drawn by two wicked -looking dun ponies, sat Lady Finistoun, and beside her an elder- ly lady made up in the most youthful style. "Ahl my dear Mona! So you are at home. I am so glad." She gave the reins to a smart diminutive groom, and step- ped out quickly, embracing Mona with effusion, Lady Finistoun continued, "I was so delighetd to hear you were within reach. I have brought Miss Mor- ton with me. You know Miss Morton? No! Oh, well, you ought; everyone knows her." "Then I must be no one," said Mona, laughing. "I am very glad to see you. Evelyn. You must come in; we are at tea; my uncle begs you will Join us. Descending the steps, she courteously invited Miss Morton to alight. 'Certainly, with pleasure," said that lady, with much decision, and, followed by both new arrivals, Mona led the way to the library. Miss Morton was very tall, and rather bony; her long neck was surmounted by a istiall head and a face short and broad for its size, rather of the pug order, with Small, keen, light -brown eyes. Her com- plexion seemed to have suffered a good deal from exposure to weatIter, and was considerably and undoubtedly powdered. She wore a very masculine -looking over- coat of light tweed with a round cape, a small deer -stalker cap, and a 'white gauze veil tied round it, which at present was turned back with a curious effect. Lady Finis - ton wore a heather -colored costume, ex- quisitely draped and fitting admirably -trimming, buttons, gloves, hat with a. pheasant's wing, 1111 matching to perfec- tion, and admirably becoming to the pretty brunette fact and dainty figure of the wearer. "Uncle, let me introduce Lady Finis- toun and Miss Morton to you," said Mona. "I am sure I ant verra pleased to see ony friends o' my niece," said. Uncle Sandy, rising after two distinet efforts, and smiling on the visitors. Like most eeotehmen, he was much mollified by the eight of a pretty face. "Ye'll sit doon and tak' a cup of tea or a glass a wine after your drive. Here, Jessie, set a chair for the teddy by me, and bring cups and places. Where'll the Wier leddy sit? Kenneth, mak' room 'twixt you and Mona." "Thank you, Mr. Craig," said. Lady Pinistouit, in her soft, sweet tones; "a cup of tea will be most refreshing after our long drive; for I stupidly, lost my w&i, and my groom is a Londoner. trusted for guidance to Miss Morton, who thought she knew the way, but-" "I did know the way," interrupted that buly, who was drawing off her gloves in preparation for an attack on the good things before her.

"Porridge is exceedingly indigestible, and bad for the complexion," said Mies Morton, between the mouthfuls of ereani scones. "You're wrang!" cried. Uncle Sandy. "Just look at the men at the men and women aro reared on porridge! There's no their equals to be tound. on earth!" "My dear sir, I don't imagine you have seen much of earth beyond your native land." "You're wrang there again, mem. I've just come back from over a year's wan- dering wi' my niece about the continea of Europe; and there's little I saw there that Pd care to tak' awe'," "Ah, I see you are one of the large claas who think their geese swans." "I'm much obleeged for your high opeenion, mem; but I am no such a fule body. I have the mist, intelligent men of all times on my side." "Miss Morton has an intellectual love of argument," said Lady Finistoun, soothingly, and is generally in opposi- tion to the foeman she considers most worthy of her steel. But I am anxious to see your eharming gardens, if there is time after tea. Sir St. John Lisle tells me it is a gem of a place." "Weel, I hope you will come as often as you like to look at it," returned Uncle Sandy. "It is admirably situated. A family place, I suppose?" asked Miss Morton, passing up her cup. "Nam!" exclaimed Uncle Sandoy. "I bought it with my ain hard-earned money." "Oh, you lucky man! Of all powers the one I envy most is the power of making money." "You have quite -enough, dear," said Lady Finistoun. "Now, my dear Mr. Craig, I want you to spare my cousin to "Perhaps so. At any rate he is gone to the bad, so some one was telling me.

Some voice in her heart told her that had she been his wife, the tender consideration he had always shown for her would have kept him straight. But she answered the sug- through her I claim you too my dear a pleasant party, and the change-" "She's no your cousin," said Uncle Sandy, hastily; "she has no kin except me. Her grandmother's kin fell from her when she most needed them." "But she is indeed my cousin; and gestion by the old counter , Mr. Craig, as a kinsman, if y , question, "Amou will per- I my brother's keeper?" mit the claim." "It grieves me to hear such an account "It would be hard to say ye nay," he of him," she said, after a few moment's silence. "He was kind and generous, and deserved a better woman than 1 am." "Oh, you were always good! I am sute we were all fond of you. My moth- er took your refusal to marry Mr. ‘a ar- ing dreadfully to heart; but Sir Robert would not let her write to you. He was awfully angry. Then you know what heaps of things she always has to do, so I suppose she gradually forgot." Mona was silent. While Lady Mary Everard forgot, she might have starved though she acknowledged that she had no claim on Sir Robert Everard and his wife. Thank God! there were true souls to be found with hearts and memories. "You know, Mona, you are really lucky," Lady Finistoun was saying, when Mona listened again. "As soon as you threw away one fortune, you picked up another. I can see that the dear uncle is very fond of you, so -but," interrupt- ing herself, "I hear the carriage. Yes( and I protest Milly Morton has entrap- ped the handsome Highlander to come so far with her. She is an awful flirt - can't live without it, in fact! She makes such a fool of herself sometimes." Then came leave-taking, and the visit- ors drove off as the soft gloom of an autumnal night began to deepen in the east. "Do you mind. walking back by your- self?" asked Kenneth. "I am going up the hill a bit to speak a word. to Allan, the shepherd." "Oh, no. I am only a few steps from our own road, and there is nothing to fear among these delightful hills." "That's trtie. Ell be back before sup- per," and Kenneth went swiftly on, with a free, swinging step. The sound of the footfall had hardly died away when another caught Mona's ear and seemed to gain upon her. In spite of her assertion that "there was nothieg to fear," she felt an odd uneasi- ness that, though not absolutely fear, was unpleasant; nor was she surprised when a voice behind her said, "Good ev- ening, Miss Craig! I did not hope to ere you so far afield." Theti she was obliged to pause and turn and greet Lisle, who soon overtook her. He carried a gun on his shoulder. and was followed by a gil- reply from Balmuir." "This is a piece of luck! I was shoot- ing in this direction, se thought.of tak- ing Craigdarroch on my my way back, to tell your uncle that I have had no reply from aBlmuir." Mote was anoyed at this rencontre. She wanted to walk back aloile in undis- turbed thought. The report of Waring she had just heard had affected her. She was so scrry for him! Arid now came Lisle to stir up the less worthy side of her nature -for Mona was by no means an angel all round. She had de- bated with herself how silo should treat him; not with resentment -that, she told herself, fele had. no right to feel; charged me to secure you. neetee is me. not with cold avoidance, eserich wad her natural inelination, and which he would ing, too, and Lord Arthur Winton, and St. John Lisle.

"Do you always wear the kilt?" said Miss Morton, abruptly, to Kenneth. "Mostly, when Pm amang the heath - "It's very becoming," said she, with an admiring glance. "I do not wonder at Highland gentlemen wearing it, but you are all very conceited." "I am sorry you think so." "Don't you admit it?" "I am not sure." "Ah I that is the cautious Scot all over. Tell me, are you his nephew?" nodding in the direction of Mr. Craig. "I am." "And. Miss Craig's brother?" "No; my name is Kenneth Macalister." "Ah! Highland to the backbone. Then is this young lady your sister?" Kenneth and Mary blushed simulan'e- ously. "I see. No, certainly not," returned Miss Morton, with a harsh laugh. Now, Mr. Macabster, the room is rather warm; haven't you a shrubbery or a garden, or something to show me? I don't care to sit here any longer." Kenneth rose reluctantly. "Oh, yes; I can take you for a stroll." "I am going to look at the grounds," said the resolute spinster to her chaper- one, "with Mr. Maealister." "My niece will-" began Uncle Sandy, but Miss Morton promptly interrupted bim. "Oh, no, thank you; I don't want any young ladies; a Highlander is enough for me"; and she walked off, followed some- what sheepishly by Kenneth. "Milly Morton professes not to like women," explained Lady Finistoun, laughing. "Mair's the pity," said. Uncle Sandy, dryly, "for I'm thinking few men would like her!" "I assure you they do. She is very popular, and. has had endless offers -to be sure, she has a ;rood fortune." "Wee!, weell oilier is nae everything In a wife.

"I think, dear, you had better not trouble about it.

One of the most curious marine pheno- mena known to seamen is that cabled Norwegian sailors "dead water," which with- out any visible cause, makes a vessel lose her speed and refuse to answer her helm. The sailor's only definate knowledge of its origin is that is exists solely where there Is a surface layer of fresh water resting upon the salt waters of tlie sea. Several ex- planations have been advanced by the cap- tains of ships of the effect of dead water, the commonest of which is pat' the two water layers move in different, directions. The true explanation, however, recently of- fered by Swedish navigators and verified by mathematical calculation and direct experi- ment is that in addition to the "resistance waves" at the surface the vessel creates a second line of subaqueous waves between the two strata of water. The experiment carried out to demonstrate the truth of this °theory was an exceedingly 'pretty ono. A largo plate glass tank was first mounted on a wooden frame. 'Phe tank was then filled to a certain depth with salt water and a layer of fresh water was care- fully poured onto the surface, so that the two separate water layers were obtained. The salt water was blackened with liquid Chin- ese ink before the water layers were pre- pared. and in this way the different layers were.made more visible. A boat model was then towed along the tank, and a silhouette of the waves produced was obtained by plat- ing a white screen at &short distance be- hind the tank. The waves were also photo- graphed by flashlight, and the results show- ed conclusively that waves actually were set up at the boundary line between the two liquids. Further experiments were made to verify the sudden loss Of speed duo to dead water. The boat model was drawn across the tank and the towing string suddenly slackened when the boat was about half way across. In cases where trio tank contained salt water only the boat stopped gradually, moving some boat lengths after the towing string had been slackened. When the tank con- tained a layer of fresh water resting ou salt water, on the other band the boat slack- ened speed quite suddenly and moved only a very short dintance. These experInlente carried out on a small scale, •proved con- clusively that the difficulties encountered within a dead water zone are really duo to the resistence experienced by the vessel in generating invisible waves at the fresh water salt boundary, although tu some particular cages the influence of undercurrents muet also, doubtless bo taken into account.-IProin the Scotsman.

Makes Many Friends. The fashion now prevalent of wearing bodies fastened up the back makers strange friends, says the Baltimore News. Yesterday a young woman got on a car, sat down and made herself com- fortable, and was immediately seized with the conviction that her waist was unfastened. She has had these convic- tions before, and they are always wrong, but this thne when she put her hand back .surreptitiously, sure enough, not one of the little buttons was in the but- tonhole appointed for it. The girl knew that if she attempted to fasten it herself her contortions would be such as to attract the atten- tion of everyone in the car. She thought the situation over care- fully. There were five men in the vehi- cle and only one woman. The woman was in the very front seat. After some consideration, the girl de- termined that the thing to do was to go up to the member of her own sex and beg her indulgence and assistance. She did go, and when she stated her er- rand was received with a lovely smile. "You see how I am backed up against the wall, whispered the stranger; 'well, that is to conceal the fact that my waist is unfastened also. I was just wondering what I should do. Let us go to the back seat and help each other," which they did to the immense delight of the men, who, while apparently reading their papers, were really i.e. garding these maneuvres with interest.

Is Painter's Colic a Myth? • In 1903 the French Senate appointed a committee of scientific men to inveatie gate the effects of white lead upon the health of journeymen painters. The com- mittee has just reported that it has made a careful investigation of the subject in eighty-six of the eighty-eight depart- ments into which France is diveded, ex. tending its inquiries even into Algeria. According to this report, out of 194 Jour. neymen painters wile- seem in the hos. pitals of France in 1904 oney twenty. seven evert) sick from diseases originat. ing from their trade. "If this number were double," says the report, "We sire still very far from the ravages which have been attributed to the use of %white lead." The committee has not been able to discover any evidence of the eXces. sive mortality which was reported to prevail in this business. The death rate among house painters is very low, evert aging only one in every 7,000 or 8,001 journeymen. .1•11•••••1111•IMINIIIIMMO A SALLOW SKIN Means weak blood, general debility, impaired diseetion.
