Two days passed, arid the earl au, Dammi Dammed hie ntention of going down to his tenants at the end • of the week. They were two peaceful, pleaoant ditys, and Margery found much to occupy her, She would have remained in her own roma (luring her spare moments if Lady Enid would have allowed it; but with pretty tyranny the invalid refused any suck concession, and so Margery brought her painting into the boudoir, Lady Enid imemed never tired of watching her as she sat bending over her canvas, and every now and, then she would touch her brother gently, and by a sign call his attention to the girl's beauty. Mar- gery liked Lord Court. She was -pleased at the graceful deference be showed her, and happy because or the joy las pres- ence brought to Lady Enid, He was a most agreeable eorepanion: his wander- inFs about the world had provided him witha fund of anecdote and. informa- tion; and Margery listened aelightedly to his voice, though her heart would sink at times at the memory of that other who had spoken of the same scenes. She found that the earl was an artist Of more than ordifiary ability, and was gratefel to him for his many hints, entering into long discussions with a zest that delighted. Lady Enid. The earl too found it a strange pleas- ure to listen to her, and he woald start a conversation simply for the sake of hearing her speak, and to watch tbe evermhanging expression of heir sweet face, He gave himself up now entirely to his sister; his fears were banished, her own hopefulness kindled his, and the delicate flush that appeared on her white cheeks led him to believe that 'ear strength was .returning. Margery too shared his eager delight in Lady Enid's; recovery; yet amid it all she could not repress a vague feeling of discomfort sometimes, and alarm would rise un- bidden when she looked up quickly and sew the unspeakable sadness in Lady Enid's face; but she kept her fears to herself, and indeed dismissed them as tanclee when she heard the brother and sister laughing and chatting together. Lord Court was Lament a week; but he sent despatches daily to town with ham- pers of flowers ami fruit. The two girls were ardent loveas of flower, and eiar- gery would flit about arrangingthem • till the room was scarcely recognizable. On the day of the earl's return she be- gan the pleasant teak of decorating; and, when all the vases were filled, she turn- ed to Lady Enid with the great clusters that remained in her hand. "ahall I send these up to Lady aferh vall, Riad?" she asked -by Lady Enid's special desire she discarded the title when speaking to her friend and mie- tram. • "Aunt Hannah!" Lady Enid laughed.

To all of theme acquaintances Margery was introdueed as "ray dears friend," arid her heart swell- ed with gratitude to Lady Enid for her delicacy ana consideration, Lord Court, though. he was Imay talking, lost none of the varying expreeeions that passed across Iter face.

The earl hail judged rightly - the drive teemed to bave brougnt new life to his sister, She chatted gayly, breathing the soft' air with avidity, and his hope rose higher and higher as he gazed at her animated face. They had tomer]. inte the park, which was filled with carriages and equest' eians• and Margery, who had been only once before in this pot of London, grew interested in watching the groups of people passing to and fro. Lord Court's eyes Wandered from his sister's face to hers, and a sense of peace such as he had never felt in the past four pare crept into his heart. Lady Enid saw his eyes turned on Margery, and she smiled to Iterself a happy little smile; she felt that these two would be friends, and the thought pleased, her. Just as they were turning to leave the park, a gentleman rode up to the car- riage and entered into conversation with the earl and Lady Enid. Margery sat back and let her ,eyes and thougats wan- der, She watched, with a smile on her face, two ohildren struggling for a doll„' heedless of the voice of their nuts°. then stiddenly the smile faded, and her heart seemed to stand, still. Beneath the trees to their right a party of riders was just moving onr-a woman between two men, followed by two grooms.

'The snapshotters find enjoyment in taking the pictures, even though in the final results obtained there may be a little disappointment.

Looked at in the air, with the eye it had seemed big, but In the finder it looks very small. But he snaps it for allthat-he wants to take some pictures of flying machines. And then when he mimes to develop them he finds, when they come out, there they are, all right, but he finds in the picture a whole lot, it great lot, a wide expanse of sky and field, and only a very little flying maehine. The picture of that is likely to be little more than a speck, and it may be but a. blur- red speck tit that. A flying machine go- ing at forty or fifty miles an hour ie, even at a distance, going it little to fast for his slow little, camera.

It was irritating and painful, and caused the little one hours of suffering. We tried soaps and powders and salves but he got no better. He refused his food, got quite thin and worn, and was reduced to a very serious condition. I was advised to try Zain-Bulc, and did so, It was wonderful how it seemed to cool and ease the child's burning, painful skin. Zars-Buls from the very commencement seemed to go right to the spot, And the pimples and sores and the irritation grewless and less. Within a few weeks my baby's skin was healed completely. He has now not a trace of rash, or eruption, or eczema, or burning sore. Not only so, but cured of the tor- menting skin trouble, he has improved in general health."
