" I hope we shall have Ida down to din- ner," he observed cheerily, "but you must take her place till then, if you please, aunt Bess, and we will do as well as we can without her. Whioh of you are going to skate again in the afternoon? You boys, I know. But what do you say, Maud and Caroline !''-to some cousins of his own age, whose mother was the aunt Tibbie already referred to in these pages. The young ladies expressed their willing- ness to resume their skates. The afternoon was clear, and they were not too tired. It would be a shame to be content with only half a day. The speaker, Caroline, a fresh colored damsel, without any pretentions to to beauty, further added that she hoped and proposed to skate every day and all day long while there was frost in the air and ice on the pond, a sentiment which met with general approval. "1 only wish we could," subjoined one small, anxious voice. "And why can't you'?" was demanded of little Louie, to whom the sigh was traced. "Lessons," promptly, " Lessons ? Oh. Haven't your holidays begun yet ?" inquired her uncle. Here are Harry and Charlie holiday making. To be sure they came back a week too soon bea cause of the measles or something. Why didn't you get up a measles at your place too ?" "There is no one but us to get it up, uncle Jack." . "No one but you Ars you not at school, then ?" "We are not at school,"explained dennYt patronisingly. "We do lessons at the -vic- arage, and Mr. Stafford drives us there and back in•the snow -plow every morning." Mr. Stafford drives us ! Even Mr. Staf- ford felt uncomfortable. The remark was true enough ; for the past three mornings he had steadily escorted the -vicarage pupils to and fro on the little snow -plow, and only the Saturday holiday had released him and them on the present occasion. But there was a breadth and comprehensiveness about the calm assertion which was some- what ernbaraesizig. It seemed to embrace the past, present, and future tenses all at once. "Mr. Stafford drives us " inferred that Mr. Stafford had been driving for an definite bygone period,and would continue o do so with an equally unlimited range in ront. Children are apt to make such assertions. heir horizons are narrow, and they become o soon acclimatized ta noval- awe, -0O- ffaire, the.t they fail to realize it as either ew, or temporary. How often does one ear " We always do this, or that," from osy mouths, which scarcely know what the ord " always " means ! Then it becomes ifficult to set such email blunders right, r they will demand chapter and verse hich it is often not worth while giving, nd fight every inch of the ground until an presaion is left in their favor by the very ains which has to be taken to get rid of it. In the present case both Jenny's brother d his guest were aware of a certain silence hich fell upon the party, consequent upon e little girs speech. Aunt Bess looked " Oho ?" Maud and aroline glanced at each other ; their other's eyes twinkled over the glass of erry she was sipping; and only uncle ck munched away as %racial. - "Lessons at the vicarage, eh ?" quoted , jocularly. "'Pon my word that's a ce, easy way of being schooled. Haven't u so much as a governess, then?'What you do all the rest of the time? Run ld, eh ?" " We do our preparation," retorted nny, scornfully. " We don't need a gov- nese to help us to do it ! " emphasising e words with the grudge implanted by tter memories, "And we don't run ld ' one bit more than we did when aunt anria was alive, and we had Mademoiselle th us all day long. Ida wouldn't let us un wild 'if we tried. She --" "Lets you drive about on suer -plows, Her grammar was useful; it afforded in • occasion tor a laugh, under cover of which the person appealed to could reply, " You would rather have one of the boys, wouldn't you ?" and 3wixt banter and rejoinder the subject died away of itself. In his own mind Mr. Stafford saw himself some one else's charioteer, presently. The pretty sleigh was in good walking order,and what better carriage could there be for an invalid ? At the very same moment General This- tleblow, communing with himself in the great hall of his club, was wondering why the devil Tom Barnet didn't send those woodcock, and musing how he /should ad- minister the cold douche he had in store for Master Tom, supposing the woodcock were not to appear -at all. .1•1•••••••••11•1 -CHAPTER IX. PUTTING ON A GAME -BAC.. "What do you think about it?" said Maud to Caroline, directly the two were alone together. " Oh,T1 think it will do very well." Her sister had already considered and decidod upon the point. "He is not handsome," she observed, however. "At fi,nrseit."I thought him almost ugly -or any rate, uninteresting -but I don't think him uninteresting now. And bow beauti- fully he skates. We must practice that circle this afternoon, Maud. As the men will be out shooting, there will be no one to see us, and we ought to be able to do it, if we have the whole afternoon's practice by ourselves." "You may. I don't expect I shill." Maud was not so enthusiastic. "1 wonder when it will come off !" she added, her mind running more upon bridesmaids' dresses than the outside edge. "Yee, indeed, so do I. If Ida were like other girls, I should soon have it out of her ; but she and Torn are stroll queer, form- al creatures. She has never let fall the slightest -hint, and yet I am sure," pausing to consider, "yea, I am euro there is some- thing to hint about, aren't yon? It is Ida he is here for, isn't it? I wish she would say something.. I will go to her boudoir and sit with her, after we come in ; per- haps she will let me have tea there; she is to stay quiet for this afternoon, you know; and then I will see what I can do. Now be quick ; ths boys are writing, and I am all ready." _" Are Jenny and Louie corning oo ?" '" Of course," "Then why can't we find out from them about Mr. Stafford ?" "Try," said Caroline, grimly. Already she had herself tried, " Is it no good?" "Either they don't know anything, or they have been drilled into not saying any- thing. If the last, I never met such close little creatures. I walked to the ponds with -Jenny, and -began carelessly-' How nice Mr. Stafford is! Have you known him long?' What do you think she answered? Simply this I don't know about the others. Louie and I hare only known him since he came here.' Well, that told me nothing, of course: ; so then I tried this -I said, He has been here a long time, hasn't he ?' _Air demurely as possible, she replied, 'He He came to shoot.' As if corning to shoal entailed a residence of weeks in the house ' Well,' I said, I hope he will stay, as he is here, for he seems so good•humored, and jolly ; just the right sort of a nuyi to have in a country house And not one single word. did she say in reply I couldn't go on after that, you know; it would have seemed as if I were looking after him for myself." " Did you see his face at the accident ?" "1 did not think much of that. Any- one would have been in a fright, when it was his skate that cut her head." "Fancy Tome turning sick !" "Oh, Tom ! Tom's only a boy," rejoined er sister, contemptously. "Boys of that go faint when they are vaccinated, or see nyone else vaccinated ! They do ; I know. om thinks he is fearfully old and grand- ut he is really a very mild youth. It akes me laugh to see his anxious face go- ng about. He is so dreadfully in earnest ver every trifle ; and when anything goes rong, he looks as if the world were coming o an end I If any real evil were to befall ne of them, I verily believe it would break oor Tom's heart. The last words were spoken as the sisters merged from their bedroom, and the speak - r had to lower her voice in order nob to be verheard. In the large square hall below, there were veral people assembled. Toni and Mau- ce Stafford iwere starting for the woods; re. Lytton was luxuriously watching their uipmenta and toasting her toes at the nge furnace which warmed the hall; and e boys were hovering round, fingering and quirmg. Jenny and Louie were not, how- er, visible. "They are in their schoolroom," explain. Tom, in answer to his cousins' interroga• on. " Saturday is a holiday, so they are t at work there, and I believe they are I ready to go off with you as soon as they e called o but we don2o alioir them to be eiging about downstairs." " Perhaps they are with Ida ?" euggeeted and Western. Maurice Stafford looked up quickly. "Oh, I don't suppose so," said Tom. The schoolroom is their place after lunch - n, until they are called. Are you ready, aurice ? We may as well be off now." a a se ri eq th in ev ed ti no al ar tie if eo in t a 11 fo a itn an th eh Ja he ni yo do wi Je er th bi wi Jo wi ' r eh ?" " We have to get to the vicarage, some- how, uncle Jack. "And it such fun -Mr. Stafford drives us----" (" Oh, blow 1" ejaculated Stafford, inter- nally.) He had thought they were off the dangerous ground, and had been bleasing his own self-control, and the old gentleman's obtuseness for thus giving the subject the slip. To have it now cropping up again! He mug take notice this time. " We had a plow made on Tuesday, and they elected me charioteer for the nonce," he turned to his next-door neighbor, speak- ing so as to be heard by ell. "1 daresay one of the boys will Iike to succed te the Yes, rather,", from Harry, who was over the way. " It was not bad fun," continued Mau- rice, by his air transferring the privilege, " It really wasn't. The little- pony goes awfully well. Only you must take care at the start. 'Just for the first few steps. He is all right for the rest of the time." 1 As he spoke a pair of earnest eyes re- garded him, "Aren't you going to drive us at all, never again, then ?" said little Louie. post--" _ _ "One moment," said Maurice. "This - ah ---strap is not quite tight enough. I think you are right, Miss Western," in an undertone, "Jenny ran along to her sister's room just now. She will be back immedi- ately. Bother this strap -I must bore a new hole -your knife, Tom -shan't keep you a second." A flying step was heard on the staircase. "1 thought so, here she comes." The last words being uttered in the same subdued aside, which was only for the ear of the nearest person. Then the epeaker glanced upwards. It was obvious that his messenger -if Jenny were a messenger -had not expected to find so many in the hall on her return from the embassy, and on perceiving who were present in addition to her brother and Maurice, her step slackened, till finally she descended the last few steps of the broad, old-fashioned staircase, dropping from one to the other, as though about to come to a standstill on each. "There's your knife, Tom," said Mau- rice, loudly. The next moment, with a sud- den hasty diligence which had the effect of Rheumatism ? SOUTH AMERICAN RHEUMATIC CURE A UNIVERSAL LIBERATOR.

Jenny, will you sling on this bag for me ?" He inclined his head towards Jenny as he spoke. She raised her arms and the game - bag was dropped over it. The two heads were very near together, and something - but no other persohpresent could hear what --certainly did pass between the two. It might have been a mere remark, or interrogation on his part, and rejoinder on hers. It might have related solely, to the service the was rendering him. On the ether hand, it might have been a sovereign's demand of his envoy how she had sped upon a mission, and the envoy's laying of ,her re - Tort at her master's feet. Maud Weston, who could see, though she could not hear, inclined to think it was the last. "He did it beautifully -just beautifully," cried the little ambassadreas, however, to herself. "Nobody could ever have guessed. And I didn't know how I was ever to get at him with all these heaps of people standing by, and uncle Jack who always will talk to me whenever I go near, as if on_purposa to draw Tom's attention so that Tom begins at once with his Why are you not in the schoolroom ?' As if I'm not in the school- room for hours -as if I'm not always in the schoolroom whenever I am not out of it ! Maurice is the only person that ever seems to think Louie and I shouldn't be in the schoolroom -all day long. And I was de - termed to get at him -determined. Tom couldn't stop that. I do hope Tom won't stop his going. But there, / don't suppose Maurice would let him stop it," and thus pondering and cogitating, • the little girl trotted along by the aide of the skaters, her mind running as fast as her feet, and the blood in her veins dancing with excitement. She had been sent up to Ida -sent, as in- stinct told her, with a secret rriessage-for which a secret answer was desired. Not a syllable had been breathed regard- ing this secrecy. Maurice had not even taken her apart, or dropped the casual ob- servation "Don't say anything about it ;" but he had by apparent chance found his way to the faraway whoolroom, the deepised' haunt of the schoolroom pair, and by rel good luck found the elder of the pair, an her own especial friend, alone therein. Then this had followed: "Jenny, you' going skating this afternoon ?" "'1ea.' "Alt of you ?" " Yee, all °tura" "And your uncle Jack, and aunt' Bess, and your other aunt are going to drive in sleigh ?" "Yee. It is ordered round at three o'clock. Uncle Jack is to drive." 4' Your sister Ida will be all alone ?" Jenny nodded. " Don't you think she would like to have some one go in and sit with her ?" Jenny smiled, "But you eee Tom and I are going off shooting." Jenny was all attention. _ "You ask your sister this," said Maurice, drawing nearer, "mind you say these very words. Ask her from me, whether, if I should come in from shooting presently, while the rest are out of doors, she would let me come and see her in the boudoir? I say," as the little girl was about to start on the itustant, "don't -don't startle her, you know. Just take your own time, and do it quietly -not before other people." "Oh, there's no one with her." "All right. do when there's no one with her, and you can just tell me quietly too, you know. Other people are only bothers, aren't they? They don't understand about things. But you understand, don't you? Well, you just manage it and -and I an wait here till you came back." But he bad not been able to wait there till she came back. Tom had misted his fellow-sportsman,and begun to look for him and to shout for him, long before the faithful little girl had accom- plished her task, so that he had been reluc- tantly compelled to quit his stronghold and come forth, lest suspicion should be awaken- ed, and curioeity set foot. He had,however, trusted Jenny. Jenny's face had crimsoned and her eyes had lighted up while he spoke; she had been so proud of the trust impoted in her,, and so impressed with the gravity of her mission, that intelligence had beamed in every feature, and Maurice had felt confi• dent that, whatever happened, she would not betray him. In consequence he had joined Tom in the hall, secure of being found there,k and of finding some means of communicating with his accomplice. Her slower step and wist- ful perplexity at sight of his companions was exactly what he had anticipated, and we know how he contrived to break through the barricade surrounding him and obtain her ear. In the moment of bending his head to re- ceive the large leathern game•bag, which he had put into the quickly -comprehending Jenny's hands, he murmured, "Wil she see me ?" and the answer he received was con- veyed in the single word "Yes." • Thus Mies Western was not at &oh in considering that a transaction of some im• portance took place beneath her very nose, though inaudible to her ear, before she set forth on her skating exhibition. CHAPTER X. A SPORTSMAN'S TRICK. Brilliant winter mornings have an ugly trick of turning into dull and misty after- noons, and though the various parties at Duckbill Manor were not prevented from setting forth on their several expeditions, the glory of the day had departed ere the sun had begun to decline, and • nothing but shooting, skating, or sleighing would have kept anybody out of doors after three o'clock. But what cannot people put up with who healthy, good-humored, And on pleasure ? What cannot even women do who make up their minds to do it ? Had the peevish fine ladies, Tom Barnet's first guests, been still at Duckhill, scarce a foot indeed would have stirred out of doors For sale by I.V.Fear and Lumsden & Wilson • • -woo after the plenteous luncheon which followed the efforts of the -morning. biro. Jelsop would have retired to her bedroom sofa; Lady Sophia Clarke to the writing -table; and the rest to fancy -work and novelties; but the aunt Bess and aunt Tibbie who now set forth, gallantly escorted by uncle AA, in the cosy little sleigh, were of stouter stuff; while Maud and Caroline were, as we know, impervious to weather, and as keen on outdoor exercise as a couple of spaniels. "They are all right enough," ruminated Maurice Stafford. "Even if those girls talk of coming in -which they don't -Jenny will take care they do nothing of the kind. It was a happy thought to enlist her on my side. The old ladies are dispoeed of fem. ously,"-he had seen the sleigh traversing a piece of ground shortly before-" and not a soul has been left behind. Now to effect my own escape." 1 (He took out his watch. It was hall. three. The driving -party must have b late in setting off, since they cold noe h taken half an hour in reaching the spot t were at, when flighted. All the , bette they would certainly not be in for anot hour. The field would be clear for three-quarters of an hour after he sho have got home,after which -oh, after wh -he laughed. He would, not trouble ab that " after which." He would leave it take care of itself. So far, luck, or fate, Providence' had provided for hini ; and w the presentalone he had to do. Tom was on in front. Should he say any- thing W Tom? Some how he hod a great disliking to saying anything. Tom was not the aort of man to whom certain things come easy to say. There was a chain armor of solemn innocence about Tom Barnet which wail well enough in its way, but formed a barrier betwixt him and other young men of hie age, even as it irritated, and, after a fashion, humiliated his elders. "He is so infernally pompous," old This- tleblow used to say: Perhaps he was a little pompous . • per- haps he was a little stiff and rigid anddic- tatorial. Certainly neither his sympathies nor his emotions lay on the surface, and even when secure of approval it was formid- able to approach him with confidence. "Oh, I can't bother about Tom," Mau- rice came to a conclusion, hastily. " I must iust have a headache, or something. I have a bit of a headache from the fright this morning. If he kicks up a row, I can speak out; but if he let's me slip off quietly, I will Hullo I Tom !" Tom turned round. " Sh !" he wispered. "'Ware. Duck "I'm going to leave them to you," whis- pered Maurice back. "I -fact is -I can't go on. Beastly headache. Never mind - nothing to mind about," all in the same un- dertone. "You go on; turn back. I know my way ; its just down here, and over that field. -Don't bother about me -its all right. Ts-ta." And before his companion could recover from his astonishment, the speaker had put some paces between the two, and was clearing the ground home- wards at as rapid a rate as the broken, snowy track permitted. Tom stood still, staring ; rubbed his ayes, and stared again. Then a slow smile crept over his face. He began to comprehend. "But he will never see her. She is not down," he muttered to himself. "11 *he had only known about it, and got down to the drawing -room 1. She could have done it perfectly, if we had bad the least idea ; she was not so bad but that it could have been managed. Now he will have given up his shooting all for nothing. I had better call him back." He drew breath for a shout, then let it die away unuttered, "1 am not supposed th know what he has gone for; I had forgotten that. Stupid fellow ! If he had only had it out -with me, I could have told him there was no earthly use On trying to see Ida this afternoon. Of cream he may manage it, if he likes to send up to her, and she likes to come down to him - then suddenly he stopped short. " By Jove !-what a fool I am !" A vision of Maurice's reluctance to start earlier in the afternoon, and a recollection that he had wondered whether his fellow -sportsman really "dished to shoot, or whether he was not lingering out of disinclination, flashed upon his mind. He remembered that Mau- rice had not jumped at the idea of shooting. At the time, he had, indeed, when begged to say if he preferred the ice, given hie vote for the woods ; but, and all attonce, it was born in upon the elder brother's mind, that if his guest had been absolutely free to de- cide, he wonld have chosen neither; he would have preferred another quest. And Jenny too ? He had seen Jenny come flying down from Ida's room, and whisper something into Maurice's ear. At the time he had thought nothing of it, nay, one might almost say be had seen nothing of it. But there are sights which, like the photographic plate, are invisible at &at, to become gradually developed, as it were, to the inward eye ; and this was one of them. "By Jove ! I am a fool ?" reiterated Tom, internally. "There is something up. Well, now, had I better be out of the way, or had I not? I'm not wanted, of course ; but can they manage without me? How if those others go in. As likely as not they will want to go in, just because they are particularly desired to keep out. Those Western girls will turn cold, or something ; or uncle Jack will funk the driving and bring the sleigh back, if he has not done it already," -he had not seen the sleigh go by when Maurice did-" well, now, what am I to do ?" he cogitated. "If I stay out I shall get some cocks, that's a fact ; but if they go and botch matters at home it won't do. I had better let the cocks slide. I know what will put it straight. 111 go round by the village, and bring up the let- ter bag. That wilt be an excase ; and I do expect letters, and we might have to answer them ; so I can say I went to bring them early. Its rather a pity," and he looked wistfully round. The afternoon was not brilliant as we have said, but it was eminently workman- like. It meant good luck, and a good bag.

The apartments of the houses in France are generally divided by stone walls and not by lath and plaster, and as they are very expensively decorated the curing of damp walla is an object of greater importance in that country than in Britain -so much so that the most scientific chemists have be. stowed great pains in providing a remedy.

The heads of the rivets have to be cut off, and it was Mr. Edwards' misfortune to be struck in the right eye by a head, whioh flew off with great force, and striking something near by, rebounded. Mr. Edwards, who had his other eye injured some time ago, was wear- ing glasses, and the glass over the right eye was driven into the optic.
