Morton, beginning to knock the balls about; "all Indian officers do." "Yes; I am rather fond. of the game." In a few minutes they were trying their strength. Sir Frederic soon tound his opponent knew what he was about, and roused himself to exercise all ,his kill, which was of no mean order..Nev- ertheless, but for one or two oversights on Carrington's part., he would. not have risen, as he did, the winner of.ail his antagonist's loose cash, and. a five - pound note into the bargain, "You would be a foeman worthy of one's steel," observed. Morton, as they strolled. out on the terrace before the club to smoke a last cigar, "if you kept your attention fixed on your game; but you made one or two mistakes." "1 know I did. My hand is out. I'll come all right with a little practice. You must give me my revenge.' "With great pleasure. When?" asked Morton. "My movements are very uncertain, but 1 shall stay on a few days." "Let us dine together quietly to -mor- row," said. Morton, "if you will give me the pleasure of your conically, and we will have a trial of strength afterwards." "Thanks; I shall be very happy." A little more talk of cards and billiards, and then, after a brief pause, Carring- ton asked: "Who was that pretty Winn - an in grey you were talking to on the links to-dayr "It must have been Mrs. Pane." "Mrs. Pane? Who is she—a widow?" "A grass widow; rich, charming, spir- ituelle, everything a woman ought to be, except that she is encumbered with an unreasonable husband, who will neither enjoy his own good fortune, nor clear out of the way and let some more sen- sible fellow have a chance." Carrington smiled, grimly. "A dog in the manger, eh? I fancy I have met this man Pane in India. lie commands a corps of irregular cavalry, doesn't he?" "I know nothing about him. Prob- ably you have met. Our Indian Empire is a big place, yet everyone seems to run against everyone elect there." "I should like to speak to the lady if it is not intrusive to ask for an intro- duction." "No, by no means. I shall be happy to present you. But do not mention the husband. I fancy she does not care to have him brought to her notice—a case of mutual repulsion, I fancy." "She does not look like a repulsive woman," said Carrington, thoughtfully, as he flicked the ash from the end of his cigar. "No, not exactly; quite the other way round," returned Morton, with a laugh that somehow jarred upon his compan- ion. "Well, if you are on the links to -mor- row about 12 o'clock," said Sir Frederic, "you will meet the whole party. Mrs. Fane is going to watch her friend, Miss Onslow, play against myself. I'll intro- duce you to thorn all. Mrs. Pane gen- erally has a sort of confidential friend -with her, to do propriety, and that sort of thing. The present incumbent is a capital, jolly old woman, a sort of re- lation of mine. Oh, you are going? Well, good night, we'll try our luck to- morrow," and Morton turned back to the club to see if he could find any other adversary at billiards. Carrington, left to himself, strolled along the beach by the light of a splen- did moon, thinking, dreaming, hoping perhaps, though his memory was gener- ally more active than his imagination. He had a warm appreciation of such beauties as are offered by a glorious ‚night—the music of murmuring waves, the still grandeur of the starry heavens —and wandered on in a vague reverie rather than consecutive thought, till the striking of a distant church clock warn- ed him to return to his hotel. Mrs. Bayley, though fresh and smiling outwardly, was internally bored and dis- appointed with the result of their first day in St. Cuthbert,. They bad. had only an hour or two of Sir Frederic's company on the whole. He had been quite taken up with that stupid golf. It was all very well his saying that his old boyish love of the game had revived. She (Mrs. Bayley) shrewdly suspected that he had backed some of the players, and. hence arose his interest. He was not too lucky, and might seriously di- minish his supply of ready money. Mrs. Fane only proposed to stay a week, and he should not throw away a chance, and it was such a chance to have Mrs. Fane all to themselves in that sleepy little out-of-the-way corner. If only the rich grase-widow could be moved to use the information Mrs. Bayley was willing and able to bestow, she might free herself from the loosened, yet still hampering fetters of her unfortunate raarirage, and form an alliance which would give her rank and. assured. posi- tion, and really not a bad husband, as husbands go. So she mused as she stood in the pleasant window of Mrs. Pane's sitting - room, waiting for that lady, who was putting on her hat, in expectation of Sir Frederic Morton's arrival to escort them to the links. "Well, my dear Mrs. Bayley, what profound problem occupies your mind?" cried Morton, entering unperceived. "Those who lie down with the dogs, eh? You know that graceful proverb. You dined with a brace of professors yesterday, didn't you?" "A brace—a trio! I never was more bored. We had the humanity man, and the Greek professor, who Succeeded. Dr. Methvin and they talked quite over my head. One of them had. a terrific day to -morrow.' i accent! I was almost provoked. with "A terrible prophecy," exclaimed Mrs. Mrs. Pane, she was quite interested. and , Pane, "but I have a French novel, so am forearmed." Still conversing with the ex -professor, ehe walked on over the short, elastic turf, Carrington keeping at the other side, so that it was impossible for Sir Frederic to approach. When the flag- staff was readied, they all grouped round Dr. Methvin, who pointed, out some of the dangerous reefa, and. then Mrs. Bayley &licit "We had better go homewards, the wind is getting disagreeable." "Very disagreeable, indeed," tried Mrs. Fane, as a sharp gust caught a light shawl she was trying to wrap Tonna her and. nearly carried it, away. "Allow me," said Sir Frederic, en,..ea- veiling to lay bold of it; but °Arrington had it already in his graep. "Allow me," lie said, 'with grieve em- lieusie and not eetrnieg to hear Morton, *Pi \II.' 14.4001INIONOKOOACZW1000604,0600 VIK SAW) CUR The lldanF USes It Can Be Pat to ewe Health.

"Well, I honestly confess I did. not care for the conversation," said Mrs. Bayley, with her accustomed. good-hu- mored candor—candor was her line, "But the mere material dinner was excellent. The doctor gave Us a glass of really good. port wine, which is not to be de- spised, in my opinion. Good port is yery rare now," and Mrs. Bayley laughed in her pleasant, hearty way, as she often did in the pauses of her speech, which had just enough Scotch accent to give raciness to a good story. "What will you say to your diligent employe," said Morton, bending an ad. - miring glance on Mrs. larine, "if I have found and. captured the bold intruder of your story ?" "Have you. really? How, and where?" asked Mrs. Pane, with some interest. "He sat next me at the golf dinner last night, and we had a game of billiards after; then he confided to me his wish to make your acquaintance, and as old Leslie Morton, who seems to know him, said he was all right, I shall, if you will permit me, present him to you. I be- lieve he has been walking about the links since daybreak, lest he should lose a chance of meeting you. Another ad- mirer added to your long list, Mrs. Fane." "Admirer!" she exclaimed, laughing. "I never saw eyes express doubt and disapprobation more distinctly. It is this that has aroused my curiosity. How can I have offended him?' "Clever fellow!" cried. Sir Frederic. "He knows how to make himself interest- ing! But if you are ready, let us come on, I fear Miss Onslow will be waiting for us." The weather was still fine, but the sky was more overcast, and the shadows of slow -sailing clouds gave variety to the aspect of the bay. On their way to that portion of the ground called "The Ladies" Links," they turning to see how matters were going On, noticed the little by-play, and, com- pressed her lips with a. confirmed dislike of the boll strenger, whom she resolved most firmly to rout and unmask. She therefore attached herself to Mrs. pane in her homeward. walk, anti proceeded to cross-examine the foe. "Pray, have you any relations in the south of England? I knew some Devon- shire Carringtons years ago." "No, I have not," rather shortly. "Then there are the Herefordshire Carringtons, rather an ol dfasaily—per- Imps you belong to that branch?" "I can't say I do." "Ah! There was a rich cad Bombay merchant of that name who died lately, and, made a curious will, leaving his money to some stranger. Did you know him?" "I have heard of him." "It must be a great bore having hosts of cousins," said Mrs. Pane. "Oh, do you think so?" cried. Miss On- slow. "I dote on some of my cousins! Then Aunt Julia and Uncle Metlivin are delightful." "I suspect," said Sir Frederic, "there is something in yourself that attracts the better part of even crusty cousins." "I am afraid that is nonsense." Here, being close to the hotel, Carring- ton thought it wise to say good morn- ing. "There is something original about your friend," said Mrs. Pane, as she parted with Morton at the door; "bring him to coffee any evening you like." Mrs. Bayley sniffed. CHAPTER II: Confident as Morton was in his pow - era of pleasing, in his superiority in looks, youth. knowledge of the world, and general attractiveness, to the grim soldier, who had somehow made a place for himself in their party, it caused him no little uneasiness to observe that overtook Miss Onslow, who was accom- his society was not unacceptable to • will remove all skia impurities, such as blaekbeads, phuplee, aml. will help to flatten out wrinkles and improve your complexion.

He had. devoted some hours each day since she was his guest to in- structing his niece in the mysteries of the game. As they grouped themselyes to see Miss Onslow strike off, a tall figure came up from the beach between two sand hills and approached them; but it was not till lie had put his ball safely into the first hole that Sir Frederic exclaimed "Re! you have come to see this excit- ing match? I assure you I expect to be shamefully beaten. Mrs. Fano, allow me to present my friend, Colonel Cairington. Mrs. Bayley, Colonel Carrington. .Mrs. Bayley understands the game and will expound its complications. Now, Miss Onslow, for No. 2. Capital!

Mrs. Bayle—somehow he did. not take to that frank and lively widow—"not to be trusted," was the verdict of his instincts; but Sir Frederic Morton excited his strong aversion as he watched his graceful, sympathetic man- ner, and noticed, with a bitterness that surprised himself, the confidential tone existing between him and. Mrs. Fano. He knew all her songs and. which suited her best; he was full of reminiscences of little adventures at Naples and. ren- contres at Rome; and though there was rcdcaind and pleasant repose in Mrs. Fane. It was absurd to suppose he could. bo rival, Or, if he were, D. for- midable rival. In truth, Sir Frederic Morton's affairs were in a desperate condition; not only was he in love with .Mrs. Fano after the headstrong fashion natural to him, but his chief hope of retrieving his fortunes lay in his chance of appropriating hers. Hitherto lie had felt himself compelled to play a waiting game, but now events were pressing. He must lose no time in persuading her to give hiau a conditional promise, and commence that suit for a divorce, in which she was certain to suc- ceed. It was impossible that she could be indifferent to him. It suited her in- tolerable pride to fence herself round with platonic affections, but let things only come to a crisis, and she would. soon make up her mind; he must have a con- sultation with his ally, Mrs. Bayley.

Buried Alive. • (London Daily Mail,) The risk of premature burial at the present time is greater than twenty years ago, said Dr. J.-Stens= Hooker in presiding on Friday at a meeting held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet street, under the auspices of the Aaeociation for the Prevention of Premature Burial. For- , merly it was no uncommon thing to keep a body some six or seven days, but the hurry and scurry of modern life seemed even to have entered into the death chamber. Statistics compiled by two members of the association from medical sources .alone ,showed that 140 people were known to have been buried alive, 219 to have had narrow escapes from prema- ture burial, while ten had been dissected Resolutions were carried supporting the association's bill, which urges the establishment of waiting mortuaries, where doubtful eases may be kept until the fact of death has been conclusively ascertained. into his grave eyes, instinctively seeking to desperse whatever prejudice against herself might exist in his mind, and en- deavoring to recall his face and figure to her memory.
