HER POI I OF VIEW.
Helen Lester spentthe first three years of
her widowhood in, Europe- Then, tired of
wandering, came biome, planning to have a
house built on her jlace at Morristown,New
wondered that she lead never thought of
Jersey, She had plenty of money ; elle
putting some of itiinto a summer home be-
fore, where she coald have her friends. to
visit her, play the hostess, have dogs and
horses, and lead 4. free, open-air hie. She
grew enthusiastic 1 over the pictures her
and legal advisenbald,
quickened imagination drew.
"1 *uprise I m st constdt an architect ?"
she said to her friend
gray -bearded Mr. Adderton .Sims, who re-
garded her, with a mixture of admiration
and afnusement, ae a whimsical but charm.
ing young woman
"1 think so, unleaa you wish to draw the
plans yourself."
"Aa if 1 could " she cried !" half laugh -
ng. "Yon think tins building is simply a
fad." '
"Fed or not, my dear Helen, I sea no
reason why_ you a ould not amine yowled/
with it. You are one of the fortunate few
who have everything they want."
44 Unfortunate, f you mean, Mr: SIMS. It
is deadly monotony. to have everything you
want. I am sick Of it. I should like to feel
a burning desire for aomething I could not
get," she said, with a touch of impatient
weariness. "I'm afraid this% house is only a
fad, but it will amuse me while it lasts."
"Never mind; you are young enough to
have plenty of iTappointmitnts yet," said'
the old lawyer, nsoling/y. He had known;
her father, and h had also known her hus-'
band—a prosaic Middle-aged man, who had
indulged his young wife Jaen her whims and
fancies and who had left her a large
fortune when he died. M. Sims decided
that she ought WI be indulged and Spoiled,
she looked so lovely sitting there in the of-
fice chair opposite him, the soft shades of
heliotrope in her gown and bonnet giving
additional lustre to her light gold hair, and
bringing out the clear whiteness of her skin.
Sne had brilliant dark blue eyes and might
have been twenty-three instead. of twenty-
seven, the passing years left so slight an im-
rats. upon her. " Why have you selected
Morristown ?" he inquired, after that short,
silent scrutiny of her beauty.
"Because it Is old, it is historical, and
you know I own a piece of land out there.
Itis a picturesque location, and gives a fine
view of the town i and surrounding country."
"Suppose you go with me to the'Archi-
teotural League this evening? The exhibi-
tion is rather fine this spring, and you might
see some designs that you would like."
"I should be deli hted to go," she aried
with animation: " Thank you for suggest-
ing it. Houses are to be the , absorbing in-
terest of my life now, and I intend to study
architecture." I
Mr. Sims waled. ' Her confident an-
nouncement struck him as deliciously
amusing; it betrayed such ignorance. To
study architecture earnestly, comprehen-
sively, meant years of hard labor. He
knew men who had spent the beat part of
their lives in thc profession without reach-
ing the most aatiafactory results, but if
Helen Lester made architecture one of her
whims, it would Flo no harm.
They went to the exhibition that even-
ing. It is not the purpose of this %liter to
enter into the history of architecture, nor
the rapidly growing interest Americans are
taking in it. Nor can I enter into a detailed
account of the exhibition of the Architect-
ural League, a club growing in strength and
importance erery year. Its extent surprised
Helen Lester. he opened wide her eyes
at the elaborate drawings, the mural decor-
ations, diaplayed in the long, brilliantly
lighted rooms. A goodly number ot men
were walking about, inspecting designs,
-
discussing varicius schools of architecture,
with here and there a group of women.
Mrs. Lester stopped before the strong, bold
drawing of a colonial mansion, hung in a
corner, away from imposing churches,Greek
columns and arcnes, and ornate dwellings.
Its noble simplicity pleased her.
" It is just what I want," she said, after
a brief, comprehensive survey.
Mr. Sims put np his glasses and loeked at
the name in the corner of the drawing.
"Louis Stephensl. Ilnow him • a clever
young fellow; a Southerner, who has been
abroad and studied." 1
"I must know, him too," said Helen Les
ter, in her charming . imperious way. "1
want him to design,my house."
"1 wouldn't decide hastily," the lawyer
remonstrated, with gentle caution.
Helen laughedi , Dear Mr. Sims, why
should I hesitate and wait sv,haii I know
just what I want at once? You know it is
mynature-to decide tny likes and dislikes
in the greatest haste, even to he color of
my gowns. I knew that I want this young
architect to design my house. His style
pleases me."
Mr. Sims was teo old and wise a man to
nape with a wilful woman. Re instantly
yielded the point.
"He may be he e this evening."
"Then I ahoul4 like to be introduced to
him."
He was there, a d they found him stand-
.
ing before some mural decorations; and
when he turned Ills daak, clean-shaven face
toward them, with its fine, strong, almost
rugged features, its full low forehead, over
which short, wavy dark hair fell, and soft,
womanishly handitome eyes, Helen Lester
impulsively decid d that /she would like the
man, as well as hi work. It was after that
unconventional fas ion that she met Louis
Stephens for the fi st time. She said some
graceful, pleasant hinge about hie drawing,
and quite frankly told him that he must
make the plans forj her summer residence,
appointed an hour iwhen he should call upon
1
her the next morni g,gave him her address,
and turned away with a bow, leaving him
no choice in the matter. She desired it; of
course he must dol it. That was the im-
pression conveyed ; but a young architect
with his reputati n to make would not
cavil at the imper ousness of a beautifhl
woman when she h ld out such a flattering
chance to him.
He called at the our appointed, and was
shown at once to • er presence. She had
looked forward to he interview with a cer-
tain degree of pleas re. It would be a new
experience, and she had grown just weary
enough of her pros erous even life to be
glad of new sena tions and experiences.
nhe detained him be ond the ordinary busi-
ness interview, for s e soon discovered that
he was an enthusiai
lt in his professon, and
drew him out With many artfully innocent
questions. They hard gone over mach of
the same ground in the Old World, but
while she had lookeII on it with the super-
ficial eyes of the ave agetraveller, he had
been a student. She understood the art of
's'
listening, and not until she gayly cried,
"You humiliate me, Mr. Stephens ; I must
go abroad again," did he realize that
he had_ been somewhat led ; away
by his subject an her flattering in-
terest. Befgre hg left it was ar-
ranged that -they sho ild go out to Morris-
town together to leo at the location for
the , house and the s, rrounding landscape,
c
for everything must! harmonize.. She was
impatient to have the work commenced,
taking a kind of lildish delight in.. the
thought. Yet the a chitect as well as the
house occupied her mind atter he had
withdrawn. -
"He is a manly ma , simple and unaffect-
ed, I will have blue silk panels in my bou-
doir. His eyes are as dark as an Andalu-
sian's. I wonder if 1 annot have an Orient-
al room„ with real Ea tern stuffs to decorate

1 Lung and bronchial diseases are among
the Most haling complaints which doctors

They change and reappear and dodge
1 about the system under numberless dis-
guises. They are almost always compli-
cated with liver or stomach troubles, nerv-
ousness neuralgia, or "general debility."
The best detective remedy which Nat=
Iran provided to search out and arrest these
perplexing ailtnents is Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical- DiscoVery. It lays an arresting
hand directly Upon the poisonous, paralyz.
ing elements hiding in the liver and diges-

It gives the blood -making glands powee

the lungs with heathy tissue; feeds the

'solid muscular flesh and active energy.

ture. How fortunate that I should secure
'his services! But I am always fortunate.
To desire a thing is to get it. Well, I'll not
quarrel with fate this time. I am unac-
countably interested in this young man. His
face appeals to me. I wonder if he has
ever been in.love ? Of course, halt a dozen
times, probably. Those ardent Southern
temperaments are very susceptible."
So ran her secret thoughts, and when the
day for her trip to Morristown with Steph-
ens arrived, she put on a ravishing travel-
ling gown and bonnet, with just che merest
suigestion of mourning about them.
16 was a sunny afternoon. Patches of
snow still lay here and there on the Jersey
hills, but light shades of green were appear-
ing among the gray and brown colors of the
valleys, and the quickening spirit of ipring
could he felt in the south win d.
Helen Lester felt a queer sensation of
youthful joy and expectancy thrilling her.'
There was something novel in this inde-
pendent little business trip with her archi-
tect, something fascinating in the way they
mixed lighter subjects of conversation with,,
the more serious one of building a house,.
Hie deference; his delicate care for her com-
fort, eeemed to be the natural attitude of
the young than toward all womanhood. It
was evidenecontact with the world had'not
robbed him of that old-fe.shioned chivalrous
regard for the gentler sex his mother, per-
chance, had taught him on a remote Seuth-
ern plantation. Helen Lester studied him
with .eeer-iecreasing delight,her brilliant
half -lowered eyes taking every Movement,
even the anxious glance he cast on her thin
Parisian boots when they left the car.
"Shall I order a crrriage, Mrs. Lester ?"
"Oh no; I would rather walk."
'But the streets are damp and cold."
"I am not afraid, thank you."
And they strolled along the quiet streets,
past the square, with its leafless trees, its
tall slender monument -erected to the mem-
ory of the soldiers and bailors of Morris
County, and up by the ancient court -house,
its roof green with the Mould of a century
or more and out to the fair plateau where
Helen 1:ad planned to have her house built.
They walked over the ground, discussed
plans and grew very enthusiastic, the mag-
netia fire of the architect setting aflame
some unsuspected smouldering spark in the
woman's nature. There were numerous
walks and talks afterward-ftut Helen Les-
ter dated her absorbing interest in ,the
young Southerner from that afternoon.
"From an architectural artistic point of
view a colonial mansion would be the most
fitting," said Stephens,taking a dreamy sur-
vey of the rolling hills on one side,their out.
lines softened in a haze of sunlight, and of
the hilitorical old town on the other.
"And from the point of view of a woman
who desires a home that will remind her of
her childhood, the colonial seems eminently
proper. I spent my earliest years on a
Virginia plantation, Mr. Stephens."
His eyes brightened. "You are a SouthCrner too ?"
"No; I cannot claim any such distinc-
tion," laughingly; and what pearls of teeth
gleamed between her lips when she laughed!
She was fully conscious of it, and of the
eloquent language of her eyes when she
wished to make them eloquent.
That was the beginning of a series of
little journeys out to Morristown through
the spring and the early summer. The
snow smelted away, the south wind and
April rains brought forth flowers from the
quickened earth and leaves on the naked
trees. The season revealed much to Helen
Lester; the spark of love kindled in her
pure cold heart burned and burned until it
seemed to fill all her being. She had never
loved before, and she had grown selfish with
the sort of selfishness a woman is apt to un-
consciously gather about her when she has
been indulged and gratified in all her -tastes
and desires.;
She welcomed love with trembling fear
and delight it opene such a new world
to her, gave her such 1 tender patience and
toleration for the wea riesses of other peo-
ple. What a deliciou secret it was to'carry
about in her heart What a delightful sen-
sation to feel so anxioes about her personal
appearance, to feel absolutely afraid of not
pleasing one certain person !
Sometimes she would laugh to herself and
hide her face in her hands, bluehing Wee a
rose and softly murmuring : "1 amNe in
love; I am really in le. How do 1 knhev
it—I, who have walked in blindness filir
twenty-seven years? But I do know it,
though it may defy all analysis, though I
have no former experience by which to
gauge ray feelings. It is greater knowledge
than to Mad all the bOoks of the world, than
to study all philosophies. The Sage may
count himself wise, but now I know that the
unlettered peasant gil who has loved has
risen to the supreme height of human wis-
dom."
Stephen's unconscio sness amused her.
" What would he s y if he could look in-
to my heart, read my thoughts ?" she
would secretly muse IA hile talking to him.
"What would he do if he knew that every
glance he gives me, every intonation of his
voice has become more precious than gold or
jewels to me ?"
But it delighted her to throw safeguards
around her secret, to utteesome convention-
al commonplace while tender caressing
words hovered on her lips; or to play with
a pencil—one of ,his pencils—while her fin-
gers tingled to smooth down the Mughtiess
of his hair, or to be laid againet hag brow.
How many consultations the building of
that houtte required! Stephens submitted
Iall the plans to het, and fteu it pleased her
to find -fault or to suggest changes, and
sometimes their interviews would end in
heated argumente as to interior decorations,
stainkuses, and fireldaoeti. - She would make
hint half angry; thou, when he had gone
away, recall him with a sweet note of
apology, or send him; an invitation to dine
with her.
The house seemed to be Stehpan's chief hi.
tweak and ini the season actvancedIfeleu be-
gan to feel restless, to wish that he would
think more of her as a Ionian, and less as
his employer. The exaltation of a great
passionwhich could not take account of
the !aura, gradually passed. At first she
had been satbsfiecrwith her own feelings, but
a desire for some response from hihimspoiled
the perfeetion of her jo,, .
They had become fr ends, and gkadualty
touched upon personal lexperiences, became
confidential. Her life had been so smooth,
so soft and sheltered, that she had little -to
1
tell ; but her fiattennif interest drew from
him many stories of h childhood i spent on
a plantatioa, his taste for arohitecture early
developed, his desire to study it, his moth-
er's death, the sale of his old home, and his
plunge into the great world. The name of a
dietant cousin often fell from his lips. She
seemed to be mixed up in all his early 'ad-
ventures, to be the repository of his youth-
ful secrets. Abbie Lestrenge borrowed
hooks for him; Abbie hound up his wound-
ed hand when he fell from the roof, • where
he had gone W set up a unique martin
hat, one of ,his first architectural designs. s
"She must be quite elderly."
" Abbie ? Oh no, unless you call me
elderly. Shels a month or two younger
thanSill.is your cousin 77
., l
"Yea, in a remote wey." -
"1 suRpose she felt acirry to have you go
away ?" 1
His dark eyes grew dreamy; a slight
smile curled the corners of his mouth.
Helen felt that he bad forgotten her exist-
ence, and shuddered as though suddenly
chilled.
"1 think she did. Ableie is
"And pretty ?" carelessly.
" Very pretty."
What meant that sharel pain piercing her
heart? Could it be jealoney ?
"Dark or fair ?"
a good girl."
•,•
"Dark." Then he raieed his eyes and
looked at her, warm admiration in his
glance. " You are a lilY, but she would
have to be called a tiger -lily."
She . smiled, with suddenly lightened
heart, and chided herself fOr being so foolish
as to imagine that he could be in love with
this cousin.
"1 have put yon throUgh a merciless
.catechising, Mr. Stephens ;, pardon me for
it."
"You are only too good to seem inter-
ested," and he impulsively kissed_ her hid.
"The very smallest, simplest detail of
your life interests me," she said, softly,
then bit her lip, vexed witb herself for say-
ing so much. But her Words did not hold
the same significance for him that they did
for her.
"Thank you; but you are too kind,"
he cried, protestingly. " You make it pos-
Wale for me to ben you dreadfully."
She did not feel quite satisfied about that
cousin. She wanted that gho, st of jealousy
to be finally laid. She did not want to be
unhappy; she could not beer pain as one
used to it.
"1 suppose you.correspond with Miss Le-
atrange ?" ,
"Oh yes, we keep one another • informed
as to the changes in otirselve and our Air-
ronndings. That was the compact we made
before I went away nearly seven years
ago."
"You have not seen her in seven years 7"
" No ; but occasionally wel,exchange pho-
tograpW smiling, as if he half expected
her to exelaite over the foolishness of such a
thing. But she did not; she was too ab-
sorbed in her own feeling. The ghost
would not be effectually laid. It haunted
her sometimes, mocked at her in little
thrills and pangs of jealous fear'made hope
look wan, clouded the future. But a well-
defined intention to win Stephen's love
phaped itself amid the conflict of her
thoughts. It would be the keenest irony of
fate to give everything else she desired and
deny her this one supreme joy without which
life mould be valueless. She would not con-
template it, or think that she was to be
taken at her own rash worde, uttered to
the lawyer only a few hours befere meeting
Stephens. It was her wealth etanding be-
tween them. , Because he was poor and
comparatively unknown, his pride would
not permit him to take advantage of her
kindness to strive for the winning of her
heart. Ile would not be called n fortune-
hunter, or offer himself to a woman when he
had naught but himself to. offer!, Perhaps
a loyal sense of honor toward her as his
employer held him aloof, or perhaps it had
never occurred to hiin that she could or
would love him. 1
But -earthly affairs, even those involving
the hearts of men, have an end, and some-
times it comes abruptly. It was about 'a
year from the beginning of that house till it
was finished, and stood forth a triumph of
architectural beienty. Stephens felt juitly
proud of it, the interior as well as the ex-
terior. His taste and skill had been called
into requisition in the furnishing as well as
the decoratione, and the April day he went
out with Helen to see her take formal pos-
session he looked very happy. She was
flushed and excited,- and looked beautiful,
though her laughing mouth quivered, and
her eyes seemed to have the moisture of
tears in their brilliant depths.
It was a chilly afternoon, and a great
wood fire greeted' them when they entered
the hall, _its ruddy glow lighting up the
stairway, and the splendid white and gold
furnishing , of the parlor 'beyond. It was
really like coming home, for a little feast
was being spread in the dining room, and
Mrs. Lester's maid came out to take her
wraps.
Stephens turned !-,o Helen as they walked
up to the hearth, and taking her hand,said:
Are you pleased ! Are you satisfied ?"
"Perfectly," her fingers closing around
his. He gave them a warm pressure.
"IL is beaetiful. I hope I'm not covet-
ous, but kewish that I could have one like
it."
"You can—have it," with a little gasp
for breath, turning white, too, as a privet
flower. But his roving eyes were taking in
the breadth and harinouious decorations of
She had been brought up in the \ most con-
ventional way, but now she secretly re-
belled against the unwritten law ferbidding
a woman to acknowledge , her love until
asked for it. If she could speak to him,
tell the simple truth, instead of hiding her
love as though it were a thing to be
ashamed of! She tasted of real , suffering
when she reached that point, aed it was
bitter to her.
Do not think that it required a few days
or a few weeks to get to that. Months had
elapsed. The house progressed slowly, but
of that Helen felt 'rather glad, as its com-
pletion would, she felt sure, bring her heart
affair to a crisis. She read a good many
books on architecture, fell into the habit of
looking at buildings with observant, eyes, to
distinguish between their good iend bad
points, and learned to appreciate beauty of
structure -411 to please Louis Stephens, who
seemed gratified, without understanding her
motive.
In the middle of the winter she decided
to go South, to see what change would do
for her, to put herself to a test, and all the
weeks of her absence spent half the time
thinking of Stephens, readieg his brief let-
ters—filled mostly with news cf the build-
ing, its progresk and the decorations he had
planned for the interior—and answering
them guardedly, hardly saying enough in
her fear of saying too much.

She had withdrawn her hand from:Mel
and stood before him, still pale, but Out-

meaning of her words? He looked at her
and fhts ' ed. - .•

"Hush ! Oh, good heavens !" he cried,
and emote hisliaads together in an meant-

She flashed and paled, for there was no
joy in hie agitation, but shie held desper-
ately to her composure.
"1 am In pawed; but you—I see that I
have been misitaken—that you do not care
for me—that—"
"1 am engaged," he said.
"To—to Miss Lestrange ?"
" Yes."
- She sunk down on the divan wheeled to
the corner of the hearth, groping blindly
for the eil en cushions to hide her face;
but before that refuge could shelter her he
was on hut knees at her side, had drawn her
head againet his shoulder, had kissed her.
"Forgive me 1 forgive me !"
She pushed him away. "There is *noth-
ing to fore. It is my mistake. I thought
—But whytry to explain ? Go ! Will you
please go ?1'
He rose and without another word left
her alone with her new home and her great,
bitter shame. She fell down among the
cushions, tearless, but writhing with an-
guish at the new and splendid things about
her, even the fire -light, mocking her deso-
lation. She had desired something with a
great desire, and it had been denied her.

dence in Toronto on Saturday morning, of
heart disease. He arose early to sand his
baggage to the ndlitary camp at Niagara,
where he intended going on Tuesday. On
returning to his room his housekeeper heard
him stagger. She entered, and assisted him
to bed. He thought he was suffering from
a bilious attack, but three hours later he
expired. Dr. Strange was a prominent figure
in political,as Well as in military, circles. He
was a candidate for the Commons for North
York last election, in the Conservative in-
terest, but was defeated by Hon. Williatn
