She ` wanted her to take the London world captive by her fresh and un- dimmed beauty; she did so. On the day of the drawini;-roauu little else was disc►tss[ffd but, the loveliness, this rich dress, the costly jewels, the vast wealth of MIss }Hatton. People even went into "raptures over her name, and said that no other would have suited her dark passionate beauty. In a few days "the beautiful ,Mise Yatton" grew famous—sho became the rage. (:n the night of the day that she had been presented the Duchess of Roseden° gave a sumptu- ous ball, at which she was the belle. Sorne young girls would have ween both elnted and excited by the sen- sation made. She was neither; she was cool, *aim, stately as a young empress. Some of the noblest men in the land bowed before her, peers complinrentcxf her; but the beautiful face never flushed, the beautiful eyes . never brightened with triumph. "Who shall gay that good blood does not tell?" thought the old soldier. I do not beliov(i her pulse would beat more quickly oven it an emperor asked her to dance." He was right; in this, the most brilliant scene in which she had ever mingled, a strange sense of unusality came oxer her. She could remember the fiery, passionate burning words which her father hnd denounced all such gayeties and the men and wo- men who joined in them; and yet, here was she, his eldest daughter, who had been trained by hits, the very queen of one of the assemblies ho censured! There was a few moments' pause for her, during which she said to herself that her past life shadowed the present, during which she won- dered if she would have been per- fectly hnppy had the past been dif- ferent, had she been differently trained. Those watching her won- derc(1 at the shadow that seemed to fall over her face. It was not the perfect beauty alone which attracted men. She was unlike most girls of her age. She was calm, but not content; nothing seemed to interest her long — the sweetest Music, the most witty or animated conversation, could not hold her for any time. She was restless, as one always seeking something better than yet found. The only time when she seemed quite satisfied was when sho poured out all the pent-up passion and poetry of her nature in music of her own. Men were quick to perceive that she was not of the ordinary type of girls, that flattery did not touch her, that sho was above all co- quetry acrd flirtation. Half of those who met her went home that night raving of her. The duchess was delighted with her success. She had felt sure of it, she had prophesied it; but it had far exceeded even her most sanguine anticipations. "The world is at her feet, Sir Ar- thur," she acid; "she can do as she will. No girl ever made a more successful debut. I am proud of her. Look at her now." The duch- ess was seated watching the danc- ing; Sir Arthur stood by her side. "Look." sho continued, "at the easy self-possession. 'rhero is not the faintest flush on her face, not even the faintest stir in the diamonds • ;t not a lie on her brew quiver that i hp • .1 flowers lore the v in the blossoms of, she holds." Yet on one side of her stood n gallant. genial prince, on the other a group of the most notable men in the world of fashion. She turned with really attention from one to another, without conquetry, with - of a queen often aches as kceuly as the heart of a peasant. '!here was something far better worth living for than all this. Some exquisite lines were ringing vaguely through her brain of the de- sire o- sire of a tooth for t► star. Was she the meth, and happiness the star? There must be a bright, beautiful something in life that elm had not reached yet, something higher and better than rank, tattle, or gold, something that was the crown of life and the treasure of womanhood. The knowledge carne to her, in that silent hour, that nothing would ever content her but "a great love. (To be Continued.) SELECTED RECIPES.

No other ball in after years was like this. When they reached home Sir Ar- thur was surprised to find that his niece fookeet almost as dainty and as fresh as when she hard started. The flowers had not withered in her hared, there was no sign of fatigue in the'beautiful face, or of w(atriness in the dark eyes. "It has been a grand success, Leah." said Sir Arthur, as he; bade her good -night: --"one of which we may troth bo proud." "A grand success irffdeed," - she re- plied. Yet oven as she said the words. a eense of desolation and loneliness filled her heart. A little later she stood in her lux- urious dressing -room. I]verything that surrounded her was costly rich jewels gleaming in their satin cases. fans, slippers, ornaments of every kind, intermixed with choice flow- ers, made a very eanfussion of beauty; the delicate carpet of velvet pilo was soft and thick; the hang- ings were of white and pink: a few choice engravings adorned the walla; treasures of marquetry, dainty oat'v- ings, and lovely statuette told of the artistic, taste which made the room a gem. She stood in the midst of it, her heart still beating with the emoticm she had not been able to control. A success indeed! Yet in the olden days, so far off, when she had been with Mettle for a stroll in the woad or by the sea, or even in the crowded streets of the city, she had felt happier and less lonely than now. She had ev- erything- that wealth and affection could lavish upon her. and yet she was lonely. It only the fair. loving sister were here!

Scrofula—is consumption of the small glands under the skin, and these break out into sores. Scott's Emulsion heals these sores. But there's more to the story. The loss of flesh and great weakness that comes with Scrofula is a regular part of the disease—the same as in consumption of the lungs. For this as for the sores, Scott's Emulsion is just the remedy.
