' CHAPTER XV.
OELY BROTHER WILL.
Th• is was a humiliating acknowledgment ;
but it was Aspe.tria'a first upward step, for
with it came an invincible determination to
make herself worthy of her husband's love
and companiOnship. The hope and obieet
gave a neiv color lo her life. As she went
about her simple duties, as ehe sat alone in
her room, as she Battened to her brothers
talking, it occupied, strengthened and in-
spired 'her. Dark as the present was, i;
held the hope of a future which made he
blush and tingle to its far-off joy. To lear
everything, to go evetywhere, to become
brilliant woman, a woman of the - world, t
make her husband edmire and adore her,
those were the dresses that brightened th
long, sombre winter, and turned the lo
dim rooms into a palace of enehattment.
She was aware of the difficulties in he
way.' She thought first of asking Will
permit her to go to school in London. Bu
she knew he would never consent. She had
no friends to whew* she could confide her
innocent planets sht had as yet hp money in
her controL But in less than tero yeseni she
would be of age. Her fortune would thee
be at her disposal and the law would permit
her to order her own life. In the meintime
she could teed and study at home ; when the
spring came she would see the vicar, and
he would lend her books from his library.
There waa an eneyclopaedia in the house ;
she got together its scattered volumes, and
began to make herself familiar with its
Melange of information.
In such efforts her heart was purified
from all bitterness,wonnded vanity and im-
patience. Life was neither lonely nor mon-
otonous, she had u noble object to work for.•
So the winter passed and the spring came
again. All over the fells the ewes and their
lambs made constant work for tbe shepherds;
and Aspatria greatly pleased Will by going
out frequently to pick up the perishing,
weakly lambs and succor them.
One day in April she took a bottle of
warm milk and a bit of sponge and went
up Calder Fell. On the first reach of the
fell she found a dying lamb and carried it
down to the shelter of some whin bushes.
Then she fed it with the warm milk, and
the little creature went to sleep In her
The grass was green and fresh, ,the sun
warm ; the whins sheltered her from the
wind and a little, thrush in them busy
building her nest, was making sweet' music
out of air as sweet. All was so glad and
quiet ; !she, too, was happy in her own
thoughts. A Wagon passed, and then a fax
cart, and afterwards two old men going
ditching. She hardly lifted her head ;
everyone knew Aspatria Anneys. When
the shadows told her that it was near noon,
she rose to go home holding the lamb in
her arms. At thaftmoment a carriage came
slowly from behind the hedge. She saw the
fine horses with their glittering harness aed
knew it was a strange vehicle in Amber -
side so she sat down until it should pass.
The'lamb was in her left arm. She threw
back her head and gazed fixedly into the
whin bush where the thrush had its neat.
Whoever it was, she did not wish to be
recognized.
Lady Redward,'Sarah Sandys and Ulfar
Fenwick were in the carriage. At the
moment -she atood with the lamb in her
arms, Ulfar had known his wife. Lady
Redware saw her almost as quickly and in
some occult way she fransferred by a glance
the kuowledge to Sarah. The carriage was
going very slowly; the beauty of the thrown
back head,. the simplicity of her dress, the
pastoral charm of 'her position, all were dis-
tinct. Ulfar looked at her with a fire of
position in his eyes, Lady Reoware with an-
" Is that really Little Bo Peep ?
The joke fell flat. Ulfar did not immediate-
ly answer it ; and Sarah was pismed.
" I shall go to Italy again,' she said.
" Englishmen may be admirable on masse
but individually they are stupid or cross." !,
In Italy there are the Capuchins " an-
swered Ulfar. He remembered that 'Sarah
had. expressed herself strongly about the
order.
" I have just passed a week at Oxford
among the Reverends ; all things consider-
ed,I prefer the Capuchins. When you have
dined with a lord bishop, you want to be-
come a socialist."
Your Oxford friends are very nice peo-
ple, Sarah."
" Excellent people, Elizabeth, -quite
superior people, and they are all sure not
onlv of going to heaven, but also of joining
theibest society the place affords." ,
"Best society !" said Ulfar pettishly.
tt I am going to America. There,- I hope, I
shall hear nothing about it."
" America is so truly admirable. Why
was it put'in such an out of the way place ?
You have to sail three thousand miles to get
to it," pouted Sarah.
" All things worth having are put out of
the way," replied Ulfar.
" Yes," sighed Sarah. a What an ad -
mixable story is that of the serpent and the
" Come, Ulfar Bald Lady Redware, "do
try to be agreeable. You used to be. ao de-
lightful ! Was he not, Sarah ?"
" Was he ! I have forgotten, Elizabeth.
Since that timers -great deal , of water has
run into the sew.
If you want an ili-natured opinion
about youreelf, by all means go to a woman
for it.' And Ulfar enunciated this dictum
with a -very scornful shrug of his shoulders.;
" Never mind him, dear !" said Sarah.
" I do not. And I have noticed that the
men who give bad characters to men have
usually worse ones themselves. I think
Ulfar is quite ready for American society
and its liberal ideat." And Sarah drew her
shawl into her throat, and looked defiantly
at Ulfar.
" The Americane are all socialite. I
have read that, Ulfar. You know what
these liberal ideas come to,—always social-
ism."
" Do not bi3 foolish, Elizabeth. Social-
ism never comes from liberality of thought,
it is always a bequest of tyranny."
nice and good agaie ?
I do not know, Elizabeth."
that when things are at their worst they
must mend. Ulfar, lately, is always at his
worst and he never mends."
There was really some excuse for Ulfar ;
he was suffering keenly and neither of the
two women cared to recognize the fact. He
had just returned from Italy with his
father's remains and after their burial he
hid permitted Elizabfith to carry him off
with, her to Redware. In reality the
neighborhood of .Aepatria drew him like a
magnet. He had been haunted by
her last, restful, amazed, miserable
look. He understood from it that Will
had never told her of his intention to bid
her farewell, as she was his wife and he was
not devoid of imagination. His mind had
constantly pictured scenes of himiliation
which he had condemned the woman he had
once so tenderly loved toindure.
And that palming glimpse of her under
the whin -bushes bad revived something of

No wonder women weep. The wonder is
that they are not oftener in tears for all they
have to bear and suffer ; and the saddest
thing about it is how little their sufferings
are understood. Even the dodtor, nine
times in ten says : -"Oh, a little nervous-
ness, that's all ' or " neuralgia," or " insom-
nia," or "dypepsia." If he suspects. the
real cause he insists upon examinations and
local treatment,—about the very worst thing
possible to a nervous, overwrought woman.
There is no need of these repugnant
methods. Any woman may insure health
and strength in a womanly way by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Fa.vorite Prescription. It
cures the weaknesses and diseases of the
feminine organism absolutely and com-
pletely. It was devised for this speCial
purpose by• one of the most eminent and
experienced eihricians in this country; an
expert specialist in women's diseases.
For nearly 39 years Dr. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and urg-ical Institute, Buffalo, N. If.
Any woman may consult Iiim by letter, free
of charge. Her letter will be answered not
by a mere nurse or uneducated, unscientific
person: but by the most competent medical
authority anywhere obtainable.
All women should read Dr. Pierce's thou-
sand -page illustrated book, " The People's
Common Sense Medicat,Adviser." It con-
tains more clear and comprehensive advice
on medical subjects than any other book
ever published. A paper -bound copy sent

Why should he deny himaelf these delights?
What pleasure could pride and temper give
him in exehange ? Fenwich had always
loved to overcome an . obstacle, and such
poople cannot do without obstacles ; they
are a necessary ailment. To see and to
speak with Aspatria was the one thing in
life worthy of his attention. '
It was not an easy thing to accomplish.,
Every day for nearly a week he rode furi:
ously to Calder Wood, tied his horse there,
and then hung about the brow of Calder
Cliff, -for it oommanded Seat-Ambar, which
lay below it ae the street lies below a high
tower. With his glass he could see Will
and Brune passing from the house to the
barns or the flelds,and once he saw Aspatria
go to meet her brother Will ; he saw her
lift her face tosWill's face, he saw Will put
her arm through his arm and so go with her
to the house. How he hated Will Anneys !
What a triumph it would be to carry off
his sister unknown to him and without his

no opportunity to see Aspatria that day

She was going to the Icat's to return a

He knew then- how to meet her. Shp
would pass through a,medow on her- way
home, and this •medow was skirted by a
young plantation. Ha(lf-way down there
was a broad stile between the two. He hur-
ried his steps and arrived' there just as As-
patria entered the medow. There was it
high frolicking wind blowing right in her
face. It had blown her braids loose, and
her tippet and dress b ckward ; her slim
form was sharply derma by it, and it com-
pelled her to hold up th her hands in or-
der to keep harlot on er head. -
She came on so, tree ing lightly, almost
dancing with the merry gusts to and fro.
Once Ulfar heard a little cry that was half
laughtsr, as the wind made her pirouette
and then stand still to catch her breath.
Ulfar though the picture bewitching. He
-waited until she was within a yard or two
of the stile, ere he crossed. She was hold-
ing her hat down ; she did not .see him until
he could have pat his hand upcm her. Then
she let her hands fall and her hat blew
backward, and ahe stood quite still end

some reason for feeling grieved.
She shook her head positively, but she
did not or could not speak.

welcome, no love to give me ?" And he
put out his hand, as if to draw her to his

" I say you are. I married you in As-

" You also left me there, left me to such

lithe spoke calmly, with a dignity, that
became well her youth and beauty, Ulla
thought her exceedingly lovely. He at-
tempted to woo her again with the tender
glances' and soft tones and curetting' touch
of their early acquaintance. Aspatria sor-
rowfully withdrew herself ; she held only
repelling palms toward her bending face.
She was not coy, he could have overcome
coyness ; she was cold,and. calm, and watch-
ful of him tted of herself.. Her face and
throat paled and blushed, and blushed and
paled ; her eyes were dilated with feeling ;
her pretty bowshaped mouth trembled ;
she radiated w personality sweet, strong,
womanly—a piquant, woodland, pastoral
delicacy, ,all her own.
But after many useless efforts to influente
her, he began to despair. He perceived
that she still loved him, perhaps better than
she had ever done, but that her determin-
ation to consider [their marriage void had
its source in a oneness of mind having no
second thoughts and no mind behind it. The
only hope die gave was in another marriage
ceremony which in its -splendour and, peb-
licity should atone in some measure for elle
first. He •could not contemplate such a
confession of his own fault. He could not
give Will and Brune .Anneys such a triiimph.
If Aspatria loved him how could she esk
such a humiliating atonement? Aspatria
saw'the Shadow of these reflections on his
face. Though he said nothing, "she under-
stood it was this struggle that gave the
momentry indecision to his pleading.
For herself she did not desire a preeent
reconciliation. She had nursed too long
the idea ed the Aspatria that was to be, the
wise,. clever, brilliant woman who was to
win over again her husband. She did not
like to relinguish this hope for a present
gratification a gratification so . much
lower in it's aim that she now -under-
stood that it could never • long
satisfy a nature se complex and SO
changeable as Uffar's. She therefore refus-
ed him his preseht hope, believing that. fate
had a far better meeting in store for them.
While these thoughts flashed through her
mind, she kept her eyes epon_the horizon.
In that wide open fixed gaze her loving,
troubled soul revealed itself. Ulfare was
wondering whether it was worth while to
begin his argument all over again, when' she
said softly : " We must now say farewell.
I see the vioar's maid coming. In a few
hours the fell -aide will know of our meeting.
I must tell Will, myself. I entreat you to
leave the dales as soon as possible."
" I will not leave them without you,"
" Go to -night. I shall not change what I
have said. There is nothing to be done
but to part. We are no longee alone.
" I care not who is present. Yoe are my
wife." And he clasped her in his arms and
kiased her.
Perhaps she was not sorry. Perhaps her
own glance of love and longing had com-
manded the enibrace ; for when she releaeed
herself she was weeping and Ulfar's tears
were on her cheeks. But she called the
vicar's maid imperatively and so put an end
to the interview.
" That was my husband, Lottie," she
said. It was the only explanation offered.
_ Aspatria knew it was useless to exp.ect any
reticence on the subject. In that isolated
valley such a piece of news could not be
kept ; the very birds would talk about it in
their nests. She Must herself tell Will, and
although she had done nothing wrong, she
was afraid totell him.
When she reached home she was glad. to
hear that' Will had been sent for to Squire
Frostham's. " It was something about a
fox," said Brune. " They wanted me too,
but Alice Frostham is a girl I cannon abide.
I would not go near her."
" Brune, will you take a long ride for my
sake ?"
Then you did a badthing. I would not
have believed it of you. Good Lord !there
is as Much two-facedness in A woman as•
there is 'meat in an egg."
" Brune, you are thinking wrong. I did
not know he was in the country till he
stood before me ; and he did not move me a
haire-breadth any way. But Lath) from
the vioerage saw us together ; and she was
goingto Dalton. You know what she will
say ; and by and by the Frosthams will
hear ; and then they will think it to be
only kind ' to talk to Will about Me :and
my affairs and the end of it all will be some
foolish deed or other. If you love me,
Brune, go to, Redware to -night and see Ledy
*Redware and tell her there is danger for
her brother it he stays around here.'
" I can say that truly. There is danger
for the scoundrel, a good deal of it."
" Brune, it would be such e sorrow to
me if every one were talking of me again. Do
what r ask you, Brune. You promiked to
stand by me through thick and thin." .
WOO as i have eaten my dinner. If Lottie
saw him, it will be known all over And if
no one came up here on purpose to tell Will
he would hear it at Dalton !mit week, When
that lot of bothering old squires sit down to
their market dinner. It would be a, grand
bit for them the chew with -their victuals."
They are like other men. If you • get
more than one man in a place, they are
talking bad of some woman. They call it
politics, but it is mostly slander."
"-I am going to tell Will myself."
" That is a deal the bestedan."
make her think Ulfar's life is in danger—
anything to get him out of the dales."
t She will feel as if the heavens were go-
ing to fall, when I get done with her. My
word ! who would- have thought of him
coming back ? Life is full of surprises."
" But only think, if there was never any-
thing acoidenial happened ! Surprises are
just what makes' life worth having,—eh,
Brune ?"
" Maybe so and maybe not. What Will
comes home tell him everything at once. I
can inanage'Lady. Redware, I'll be bound."
" With the promise he went &way to per-
form it and Aspatria carried her trembling
heart into solitude. But the lonely place
was full of Ulfar. A thousand hopes were
budding in her heart,growing slowly,strong-
ly, sweely, in that earth which she had
made for them out of her love, her desires,
her hopes and her faithrul aspirations.

things on eirth, and there is no diegrace in
it, unison untruth enters, or unless the
praise is underserved. It is the nem
grateful becatuie no one may ask fer open
praise and • receive by asking.. When. it
comes thus at call it is not praise a it# fine
.flavor is quite gone.; and it is but flattery.
POISONED BLOOD.
Dreadfill Death -Draught Comes
from Diseased Kidneys.
When Uric,Aoid Flows in the Veins, Life
looks out of Darkened Windows, ex-
peoting soon the Close of Day.
The fashionable Italian poison of the XVI
century was Aqua Torfans. It was used by
the mediois and -all the first families df
Rome, Gene& and Naples. In fiie year's
historians tell us, over 600 Wives used it to
make widows of themselves.
In these modern days a more terrible and
more prevalent. poison decimating the
human family, and men have asked in vain
for an antidote. It is the urtemic poisoning
of the blood, caused by ditteased kidneys.
The poison which these useful organs should
filter from the blood, is allowed to remain
in the circulation and courses through the
body, like-
" Accursed Hebenon....whore cited
Holds such an enmity with blood of man
That with a sudden vigor it doth possOt and
ourd
Like eager droppings into milk,
The thin and wholesome blood."
To -day there is a remedy. Science has
discovered a sure cure. Ail may have and
apply it. It is sold under the name of
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
It is a specific for all Kidney ailments. It

An Odd Incident.
A curious incident happened one Sun*
to 'a lady in a neighboring village.
The husband of a Mrs. Lewis is the super-
intendent of the Sunday school in the little
town, and it has been her habit to call at
the !school at about the hour of closing to
walk home with him. On the day mention-
ed, as she was approaching the church, one
of the pupits said to her, "Hurry uP, or
you will be too late," but did _not mention
what she might be too late for.
At the door she met another little ,girl,
who said : "Oh, hurry, Mrs. Lewis ! You
are Net hatime."
- As she entered the room a minister, in
his clerical robes, stepped in front of the
prayer desk and said :
"Let the candidates for matrimony come
To the astonishment ,,of Mrs: Lewis, her
husband and one of the young lady teaehers
retponded to the -invitation, and hete is a
point where the novelist could put in some
dramatic werke Mrs. Lewis might have
screametli fainted or have done anything
startling,• but, horrified as she was for
the moment, her judgment told her
that there mnet be some reasonable excuse
for the apparently inexcusable situation,
and there was. .
More deliberately, and with consideabie
embarrassment, a couple no longer young
came forward to be married. They had
come from a distance without any friends
attending them. and' had been directed to
the Sunday school to find a minister.
The other couple had been requested to
act as witnesses. Mrs. Lewis says she
could not have suffered more for the mom-
ent had her husband really deserted her,
for, to all appearances, he had done so.—
