"Lady Waverley isn't here?" asks Blanford with a certain signi- ficance. Lady Waverley alone would have the power to making the torturing vision of the American among the heather fade into the background of her host's reflec- tions. CHAPTER II.

A good deal is said in these days about the effect of- mind on matter In the way of the cure of disease, but less 1s heard about mental influences as a cause of bodily ills. yet it is an old truth that the state of mind bas a direct effect on the body. rite gloom and depression caused by worry and anxiety create a morbid condition of the physical system. It is impossible to feel well physically when the mind and spirits are downcast. The blood does not circulate properly, appetite falls, the head aches, and If these, mor- bid conditions continue more deep seated aliments are likely to arise, and cancer may be one of them. With many persons a fit of anger is followed by an attack of indigestion. 1ixcltenient destroys the appetite, bad' news creates nausea, fright causes, faintness, and so on.
