Its artistic litter was something novel to her, and ex- cess hem curiosity, and, after a Mo- ment or two of listening, she stole Inside. She flitted to and fro, more like a jackdaw than ever, casting swift glances at the sketches and canvasses and turning overthe books a and knick-knacks which were strewn about the room; then she went to the mantelpiece. The watch was 'there anis she took it up and looked at it. As she slid so the chain dragged dowel the ring, which, after the manner of rings, roll ed across the room, Away went Becca in pursuit, and, after a short search, she found it un- der tho sofa. It was a plain baba of gold, with the initials C. B. on it, which Cyril had in a moment of preoccupation scratched upon it with his penknife. Bocce turned it over and looked at it, then she tried it on one finger af- ter another until she found that it fitted the little one, anti then held up her hand and gazed at it admir- ingly, thinking how nicely it showed off her slim hand. Eve like, she passed from the ad- miring to the covetous mood. 110 had said nothing about a ring; Perhaps he hacl forgotten all about it, and ff-1f she should keep it., he would conclude that he had lost it. It was a beautiful ring, but, no doubt, a gentleman like. Mr. Burns did not set much value on it. While she was looking and longing and hesitating, Pato lent the evil ono its aid, just as it had done in the matter of Catherine's photograph. Baca heard Mrs. Ib uglish's voice in the kitchen. She started up and tried to pull the ring off her finger, hut it stuck fast. In a spasm of terror, lest she should be discovered in the room, she darted through the passage into the bar, waited a mo- ment, then, still tugging at the ring under her apron, passed into the road. Before she had §one twenty yards, the ring came oil, and with a feeling of relief, she turned, intend- ing to replace it. But as she neared the bar door, she stopped and hes- itated. After all, the worst was over. She had taken the ring and she might just as well keep it. She slipped it Into her pocket and began to sing, and, still singing, stopped a few paces from the inn door. Then she called out "Mrs. English!" and after a moment or two the Landlady came into Be ear. Becca walked toward the door as if she had only that second arrived, "0h, Mrs. English," she said, "Mr. Burne asked me to come and tell you to take his watch upstairs. I forgot whether he said he'd left it of tho mautclsbelf on on the table, but be said in the sitting -room." "Dear ate, yes," said Mrs. English. "That's just like hien; he's so care- less and forgetful. Some of these clays he'll loose something, and hon- est folk w•Ilt get the blame. But there, he's an artist gentleman, and n'hat can you expect?" she acldecl, raising her voice as she went into the sitting -coon. "Is it there all right?" cried Decca, in her clear treble, "Yes, all right, and thank you, Becca South!" called back Mrs, Eng- lish and Bocce went 'on her way sing- ing like the innocent, light-hearted girl she was.

MIllE OF T + OR THE STEWARD'S SON + +A+s + +ici+04.0.t4 an(+)1+ +rtt CHAPTER XVI, Norah left Cyril; and walked home- ward almost entlmly, happy. The only bar to her perfect happiness was the fact thatshe could go straight ght to the earl and toll hint all that had happened, . She hada enteral detestation for secrecy and 'deception, and she thought, with a sigh, how delightful it would have been if her mother or the faithful Catherine had been alive, to go to either of them and pour out her heart. For it seemed to Norah, as she went through the sunlit woods and over the velvety lawns, that .she was the most fortunate girl in the world. Where had never been abother man since Adam was created like Cyril, and she stopped now and again, that she might recall his image and think of all he had said. :And it seemed to her that he lied spoken, as helooked and behaved, lino a hero, He had said that she x>r oht have married some man with a title; but .to her he seemed the noblest of men, and it was hist in harmony with his character that he should wish to wait 'until he had made a name before he went to her father and asked for her. Ho had said that he would rather be a self-made man than a belted earl, and she agree(. with him. Agreed with him! If he had declared that the moon was made of green cheese she would have assented. Yes, she was happ t with i he hap- piness which comes o a g o has won the heart of the man to whom she has given ber first ]ter best love. She wondered how long it would be before she should see him again, how long before he would come and de- mand her hand of the earl. She had said that if the earl relies- _ ed it would make no difference to her; and under the great oaks she repeated her vow. Nothing should separate her from her hero, her lover. When she reached the house she saw several carriages standing outside, and heard voices in the drawing - room. It 'seemed full of people to her' confused sense, and she stood for one .moment looldng round ber; . but the next, Lady Ferndale came for- ward orward and embraced her: "My dear child! I couldn't stay away from you another hour, dear, ' she said, "and so 1 have brought my friends with ine," and she introduced two ladies, who, by the way they greeted Norah, had evidently heard her praises sung by Lady Ferndale. There were also two other ladies who had come to make their intro- ductory call ,upon Norah; and the earl, standing with his "reception" smile upon his face. watched Norah. beneath his brows closely. But though her thoughts had been scattering by the unexpected visitors, she regained her composure after a -minute or two, and presided at the tea -table with the quiet self-posses- sion which Lord Ferndale declared was one ofhergreatest charms. "I was in despair when they told mo you werewout, dear," said Lady Ferndale, who had seated herself on a low chair beside Norah's table, and kept looking at the beautiful face, and glancing with covert triumph at her friends, as much es to say, Did I exaggerate? Isn't she altogether charming?" "Where have you been, dear?" she asked. "For a walk," she replied. "In sear a heat!" said Lady Fern- dale. "Ah, well,.I did it when I was your age," and she sighed. ,ere you so very old?" $he said. "Not too old to enjoy myself, dear; and I've come to ask you to help neo. We•aro going to have --what' "then that's settled, I do hope you'll enjoy yourself, dear.", "I am sure I shall," said Norah. "Perhaps it would be as well to know the date of the—the jollifica- tion," remarked the earl, softly, "Wednesday 1'eoh" said Lady Ferndale, promPtl ; then she bunt forward and whispered: "Norah, I have asked your Mr, Cyril Burne." Noxell had resolved that she would not blush at the sound of Cyril's name; but the color came into her face notwithstanding. "You have asked him?" she cried, trying to speak indifferently, and sue- ceeding better than she hoped. "Yes, I called at Mrs. Brown's as I camp along. I thought somehow that you would like mo to call on him before T reached you, dear," Norah made a slight gesture of as - Sent. "He behaved so admirably. I hoard it all from Jamieson, the coachman. It was beautifully done! And he was so thoughtful and considerate in seeding me that note. I have been telling your father ell about it, but, of course, he sees nothing to admire in it. What do you think lie said?" "I don't know." "That it was what any one of the ploughmen would have done." "And—and—did you see him?" she asked rather guiltily. I "Mr. Burne? No. Ffe tuns out painting, they said; but I left him an invitation, and Ferndale is going to call on him, He says that he is a very lucky young man, and that if ho had only insisted upon seeing you home, it would have been he who would have rescued you." "But Lord Farmdale would have been inside the carriage," said Norah smiling, "Still, please tell him that I thank him all the same." "I shall tell him nothing of the kind. I altogether decline to carry soft messages from you to him. He is quite infatuated enough, as it is." Norah laughed, and the brightness in her face caught Lady Ferndale's attention. "You seen very happy, to -day, my clear," she said; "has anything hap- pened. Norah felt the crimson burning her face and neck, and her eyes fell. "Why, you .have come to see me," she said. Lady Ferndale bent forward and kissed her, making her feel a mass of dissimulation. "Me dear, you are simply irresisti- ble. You got that trick of repartee from hire," and site nodded toward the earl, who was talking to the others, who were listening in rapt attention as if to an oracle; "but the pretty speeches sound genuine from your lips. And was Mr. Burne very much bunt, dear?" Norah arranged the teacups before her, and kept her eyes donna. "Yes, I am afraid 80," she replied. "Fla is obliged to wear his left arm in a sling." "Then you've seen him," said Lady Ferndale. "0f course, he called to asic after you this morning?" Norah was silent, her heart heating and Lady Ferndale got up. "Como and see ns as soon as you can, my child," she said, as sbe kiss- ed her, "and mind, Wednesday tveekl' But even then it seemed as if she could not tear herself away, and half an hour passed before the car- riage drove orf.

It is probably no exaggeration to say Hutt the great majority of habi- tual or frequently recurring head- aches are the direct result of eye troubles—astignum111m or nr•ar- slghtedriess,—w'hioh the proper fitting and wearing of glasses will prevent. But nut all headaches aro of this character—not all, even, of Cho often recurring headaches, and it nnay be well to mention so1110 of tate other causes. Any form of blood -poisoning is apt to 001180 001'000 1100.0 /Who. Indeed, this is the most; common cause of the trouble next 10 a e-stt ata. Such a headache is that which accom- panies fever, or which occurs in cases of chronic lead -poisoning, kid- ney disease, habitual constipation, or sleeping hi unventilated rooms. This is the headache also which oc- curs In gout and rhermatism, and hi malaria. Pain in the bend of a most violent and perl•istent character may depend upon some disease of the skull, and of course any inflammation of the brain itself or its a enbranes will manifest itself by severe pain in the head. A variety of paroxysmal or recur- rent headache, which resembles somewhat the eye -strain headache, and may he mistaken for it, is one duo to catarrhal troubles in the nose, and especially In the large air - cavities in the forehead and face connected withthe nose, This head- ache, like one kind clue to eye -strain, comes on at a certain time each day, and increases in intensity for a while, then subsides; but its tithes differ from those of the headaches of eye mega'. The latter aro worse in the evening, but the nose headache comes in the early morning and gradually diminishes as the day wears on, to disappear at sundown. Most of the causes of headache above mentioned act by inducing changes in pressure within the skull. 'rhe latter is, of course, unyielding, so the effects of pressure must be exerted upon the brain, These pro - sure changes, except in the case of a tumor or effusion or fluid or other material, aro thio to vibration in the size of the blood -vessels of the brain. Congestive headaches are such as are caused by omental excite- ment, over -indulgence in the plea- sures of the table, or in tobacco, tight collars or severe coughing. Headache may also occur in ane- mia, but then it is probable that the blood contains some poisonous material, SUGAR USEFUL. The British Medical Journal in- forms us that sugar is about as beteficfal a thing as one can eat, Speaking of sugar as a rood, this authority says: "Iii certain circum- stances it can be converted Into fat, and thus stored in the human body produces heat and energy, and one of its special advantages is that it takes up very little space, Like mus- cular deterioration, it seems from experiment, occurs under a sugar diet; but when tine muscles aro fa- tigued and worn out nothing so quickly brings them into serviceable condition again as the use of sugar. The German army strrgcons, in the course of investigation, found that an extra ration of less than four ounces of sugar daily tncreasecl the weight: of the men to whom it was issued, and that they were able to do better worts than their comrades. Ls instances of fatigue n. lump of sugar proved wonderfully efficacious; and moreover, contrary to the gen- eral supposition, sugar -quenches thirst. The experiments in behalf of stager have been so satisfactory that the sugar .ration of the German soldiers will be raised two ounces n day.
