"I may never see hint again," I re- turned, warmly, °and. I know but little of him, yet I would stake much that he Ms never committed a crime; he may have mule a mietake." She loeked at me with wondering eyes, and repeated, dreamily: "A mistake! How could that be?

I wont, benle some days after that, and then matters fell into their old routine. The only change was in Miss Vane herself. She grew more hu- man; her one great net of forgiveness seemed to have changed her whole ehar- aoter. There was only one thing sae would not do -she would nob mix with the world. She took up a lily one day when talking, end front the deep white CU p pulled a petal. "Can onything re- store that petal or make the 1115 whole?" she asked. "No," I replied. "It is the ,seane with. my life," she said. "A page was torn abruptly from it -e page on which sweetest hopes wore written -and nothing cam restore it.

Instinetively I kept two. seorets from her. I never told her that Lord Wyn- ton had promised te come to see me, or that he intended tea call upon her. So the year pmsed, spring came round again, and in May I read this announce- ment: "Died, on the 3rd of May, at Nice, Isabelle, Lady Wynton. She was interr- ed in the cemetery at Woe on the 5th." A lending fasnionarble journal devoted a small paragraph to the event, and said that Lady Wynton, after suffering se- verely for some months, had died sod- denly at Nice. I took the papers to the River Haase and showed them to Euldah Vane. She grew very pale as she read - her eyes filled with tears; and then she turned th me and said: "I am very sorry for him. Poor Clive!" The remainder of the story I tell as I heard it some tone afterward, when the mystery was explained to me, and all was dear. CHAPTER XII, When it svas known In Loudon that Gerald Asheton, the younger son of a poor but noble family, had. returned after thirty years' service in India, a millionaire. society decided upon opening its arms to him. A millionaire! Such exceptional distinction sooiety decreed ought to he reeognized-must be reeog- nized, 111 fact -and Gerald Asheton was received with open arms. He did his duty as became a millionaire. He pur- chased one of the most magnificent manoiona in Belgravia, and furnished it regardless of cost; then Lord. Bathern's family estate, Silverwell Priory, came into the market, and he bought it, and had it refurnished with the utmost splendor. Afterward, hearing of a pret- ty little villa in the Isle of Wight, he purchased it, also. With three houses, each one rivalling the other in lemuty, he began to.consider who -eras to inhabit them. , His friends advised him to marry; but for that he did not care. His brother had married, and his wedded life, like his life generally, had not been a suc- cess. He had married a gentle, accom- plished girl, who had no fortune except her fair face and her noble mind. She stavived her husband six years, dnring whites time she was supported entirely by the bounty of Gerald Asheton, who allowed her an income quite sufficient for her wants. At her death, he ordered his agents to place her only child, Hub, dah, in one of the beat schools. He was so deeply engrossed on his re- turn to England by the settlement of Ms affairs that he almost forgot the existence of his Mem. It was not until lee bevel to wonder hosv Ile was to dis- pose of his vast fortune that he remem- bered her, and. then he went down to Brighton to see her. Ho found tos his intense surprise a tall, lovely girl, with a graceful figure and a 'beautiful face. His delight was great. Riddell Asheton was at once taken. from school, installed as mistress at Silverwell, and everything that money could procure was lavished upon her. Gerald Asheton idolized his beau- tiful niece; he never tired of looking at her, of listenink to her, he formally adopted her as his heiress, and au not Test until he had made his will, leaving her mistress of his vast fortune. It spoke well for Huldah Asheton that her head was hob completely turned by this Onstage in her position. She had been happy and eontented at :school, feeling sure that her editeation and ae. complishments were to be het fortune, and that ahe would have to earn her livelihood as a governess. The result Was that she had acquired a certain in- dependence of diameter, feeling that her suecess in life woula depend on her own efforts. At seventeen she found, herself one of the most beautiful, wealthy and admired girls in London. She could have mar - lied just as she would; but, young as she was, iluldah Asheton had formed a resolution to Marry only for love. Be- fore she had been a month at Silverwell the proved that she was fitted for her responsible post.

Standing where womanhood and girlhood met, her heert and soul thrilled with the vague, sweet poetry of life. CHAPTER XIII. The Countess of Ivrington had a beautiful villa on the banks of the Thaanes. She deligitted in spending part of her time there, surrounded by the very flower of Lendon society, She had. invitee "Tlae Queen of the Sea- son," without whom no assemblage Was complete. On the morning after her arrival, 'Miss .Asheton, tempted by the beauty of the grounds, rose early atel went. out. Life held many fair mornings; for her, but none like that. Her white morning dress, keotted here and there with rose- colored ribbons, fell in graceful folds round the tall, slender figure; a wealth of shining, waving hair rippled over her shoulders, the moaning breeze had brought the daintiest bloosn'to her face, her large, dark eyes shone with light; the beautiful lips were partecl 111 neen enjoyanent. • She .stood watehing a pretty ulnae- ture water -fall. She Iteld her hand in the water, and watched the spray run- ning over her white fingers; then. she thought she would cross a little rustic bridge which spanned the stream, and was about to do when a rich, deep voice said: "I should advise you not to trust yourself to that little bridge; it is un- der repair and is not quite safe," She looked round, and saw a gentle- man come across the lawn. He raised his hat and bowed, "Pray, pardon me," he said; "but I know that bridge is very shaky, I am Lord Wynton, Lady EvrIngton's brother. You, I know, are her guest, Miss Asheton." Huldah bowed;. not for worlds would she have spoken Just then. "I am afrai(II have startled you, Miss Asheton," continued the musical voice; "if so, I am very sorry." "No, you have not startled me," she said. He came nearer to her and jhe looked at his face; it was handsome, noble, with eyes and lips that could sweeten and soften like a woman's. Her heart went out to him -she eould not tell why, except that he was the hero of her dreams, the ideal come at last. Lord Wynton was visiting his sister. She had tempted him by telling him that the beautiful Mies Asheton was to be her guest. He had laughed at first, telling her beauties were always more or less failures. He came, however, to please his sister. But on the morning that he saw Huldah Ashton, in all the. sweet simplieity of her beauty, he was amazed; and, from that moment he loved her with a love that was his doom. It was a case of love at first sight, and everyone guessed it. Preen the mo- ment that she first saw Lord Wynton until the day she died, he was the one love of her heart and soul; she knew no other; no other man ever had the power to charm her. Her ideal was realized; be- yond that realization she never went. The time came -it was the gloaming of a beautiful june night -when Lord Wynton told her the story of his love. She raised her beautiful face -not to him, but to the evening skies and thank- ed Heaven for its goodnees. "Huldah, my darling," he cried, pas, sionately, "I am not, worthy of you, I know. Thetlove of apure, innocent heart like yours is a treasure above price." She would not hear it. He went on, holding her hands in his strong °hum. "When I was young, Hulelah-quite young -I committed a great folly. I must tell you what it was." ' "No," she •objected, "I will not hear it -or, if you will tell me at all, it shall not be until after I am your wife. My faith, Clive, like my love, is boundless. If, when you were young, some fair faoe caught your fancy, it was but your fanoy -your love is all for Mee" "As Heaven is my witness," he declar- ed, "all for you I have had no other love, and never shall have." So while the nightingale sang they plighted their troth to each other. Ger- ald" A.sheton was delighted. His darling would be Lady 'Wynton; and, besides that, she would be one of the richest wo- men in the country. With his cement the wedding was arranged to take place in September, and there did not seem to be eveij the smallest cloud in Lord Wynton and Miss Asheton's sky. CHAPTER XIV. All wenb happily until July, and then canto a terrible shock. Gerald Ashton died suddenly of old -standing heart dis- ease, and Huldah was left Miracle and sole mistress of hie immense fortune.

She had been the rage before; she became doubly the rage Owing to the death of Gerald Asheton, the wedding was, of course, postponed -it was arranged to take place in the following April. Iluldah spelt the an- tunte at Byde, where the Counteis of Evriegton reigned queen. Lord Wynton was vatting hie sister, so that he bud Miss A.sheteit met every day. Ha",dah had expressed A Wit& about her Marriage. "Let me be married in ouietness and peace," sho said; " the Cetemony is for us, not for a ()toted of idle lookers-on. There can be no prettiet (lurch than that one at Silverton -let us - be married there, Clive. 1 de not Want a great house full of oomparty-only your sister -no one elate"' It was well that Lord Wynton seceded to her request. The preparations all went 011.

It was a fair spring day, Huldah Asheton rem early; the was tee happy to bleep. The sky Might Well look to fair, the sun shineso brightly; it was her Wedding - day.

And jam Lewie blessed her with lov- ing words, foretelling such happiness for her as made the girl's heart beat and her face glow. "Now come, Lewis," she nide "and flee all my weddiegetttire; it lies ready tu my -dressingeroom." Lewis followed her. Tile wedding -dress, the wedding -veil, the wreath of oraege blosamans, the white gloves, the white sans shoes, the white fan with the Jew - tallest handle, the bracelet of magnifi, cent pearls, all ley ready, just as for years afterward they lay In the clos.ed- up room of the River Rouse. "You shall dress me, Lewis," said.the beautifal bride; "no other hands but yours because yours have been the kind- est hands in the world to me." She wore it wrapper of white silk, and, juot as she was unfastening the hand of it, saying, "See how the aim smiles on any wedding morn," a knook came at the door. Susanne, the Paris- ian maid, came in, "There le a lady in the hall, Miss Asheton, who insists upon seeing you," "-A lady7 1 cannot see anyone. Say that I am particularly engaged. I have spent so maul time aut of doors, Lowis, I shall be late." 'Another rap came. "Lady Eyrington begs me to say the vantages ale ready." "I shall not be tong," said the young heiress. "Susenne, tell the lady 1 eau - not see her; whatever message she luts must he sent by you." Susanne went away, but returned in a few minutes'. "The lady insists upon seeing you; she bade me give you this." Huldah took a note from the girl's hands and read: - "If you yidt to spare yourself untold shame, anguish and remorse,' see me at once. If you refuse to do so, I shall follow you to the chureh. 'When you have seen me, you will understand that to -day's ceremony would be a wretched f Hulclah Asheton looked up at the ser- vant who had brought the note. "The person who wrote this mint be maul," she said. "I do not think so, miss; she looks sane enough." "What kind of person ie she?" "Tall, elegantly dressed and pretty - looking, anise. She heard something about the carriages helag ready, and she laughed. 'You had hotter wait until have seen your mistress,' she said." A sudden presentment of evil came to the young heiress, "I will see her, Su- sanne," she said; "bring her here." "Into your dressing roozn?" question- ed the maid, wonderingly, "Yes, I have no time to go anywhere else." Susanne went away quickly, Miss *skeleton read. the letter again. What could it mean -dear heaven, what could It mean? Her beautiful face grew pale. "Is it bacl news, any dear?" asked the old nuree. "I do not know," replied Huldah, Be- fore she had time for another word the door opened, and a tall, elegantly dress- ed woman entered. Her veil was thrown back, showing a pretty but somewhat insipla face, and a quantity of false hair. The visitor was elegant rather than graceful. With, it inn:king smile, she looked round the magnificent dress- ing room. "I am sorry to intrOde, Miss Asheton, but my business is Imperative -it admits of no delay. I hear you are :to marry Lord Wynton to -day." "I do not see that the matter con- cerns you," was the haughty reply. "Pardon me, I am the best judge of that." "I see your wedditig dress is all ready -the veil and the wreath and the bridal bouquet, sent by nada loving hands. The minister stands ready robed at the al- tar, the ringers are ready to ring the wedding bells, the carlrages stand at the door, the servants all wear white f ors, the bridegroom is counting the mo- ments. But listen to me -oh, hour of triumph, for which I have waited and longed and prayed -there will be no wedding, there can be no wedding, for I am Lord Wynton's wife!" (To he continued.) The Fallacy of the Fireplace. While we deeply regret the neoeesity of disturbing such a hoary end venerable belief, with so many delightful and com- forting associations connected with it, as that of the "perfect ventilation" ole babied -by means of an open 1ireplace, candor compels us to state that the oat- -urea method of ventilation, either by m,easne of an open fireplace or an ordin- ary stove, Is neither adequate nor Batts- factstay. It is not adequate because, ex- cept in the leakiest of rooms, the am- ount of change made in the air is insuf- 'Went.

Oil of wintergreen is recognized by the medical fraternity as one of the best of all remedies for skin diseases. But it has been found most effective when combined with thymol, glycerine, etc., as in D. D. D. Prescription: The following letter, written on July 12 last by Mrs. R. E, Purdy, of Condie, Sask., gives an idea of the variety of the 'uses of D. D. D. in the household: "Last winter I sent for one of your free samples of 13, D. D. Prescription. I tried it on ilexes that broke out on a teething baby's head, on cold -sores and on a mild type of eczema, and found it worked well, curing each trou- ble quickly and easily. This summer we have used it on bad mosquito bites and it heals them in two or three applications." D. D.

Al certain places the wires are exposed to coetinualathough slight, friction, which will ultimately break through the insul- ation and establish a short circuit. The timely application of a little insulating tape will often save much trouble in this respect. The heat of the exhaust pipe or muffler, for example, will melt the insulation of the high tension cable, if too close and cause a defect. Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. • • • A CONSULTATION.
