-BY A. J. AIADDOUOAL IN CANADIAN HOME
JOURNAL,.
A crowded piazza at a summer hotel, fair
ladies and fashionable gentleman talking,
Smiling and flirting ; the lo,dies' costumes
!:
eking the scene bright and attractive ;
uch, at haste thought Lewis Weston, as he
auntered to it. He had just arrived, and
referred walking to the hotel :rather than
ing cooped itp in the " fly, " which carried
assengere to and from the " Sweet Briar."
While carelessly scanning the assembled
errymakers, his gaze was caught and rivet -
ted on one among the number. Leaning
against the wall, she seemed unconscious of
where she was, her thoughts evidently far
away, Her dress of white, plain and ',imply
Made, was unrelieved by any color ; her sole
ornament a bar of jet tipped with gold fast-
ening the lace at her throat -young, graeeful
and lovelys she was still ; sheetood unnoticed
and unnotioing in the midst of 'the fun and
merriment around her.
Lewis Weston looked at the young lady
and made up his mind to know more about
her. The patient sadness that enveloped
her added to, rather than detracted form,
'her charm. The face rarely pale, seemed
even more so by contrast with the IMUIP of
ijet black hair that was coiled in tbe most
approved faehion on the shapely bead ; and
when she raised her large, dark, unfathom-
able eyes the shock was indescribable. The
lumbering passion that would have vent,

haaatm 1i:se? emd
older thrill with a strange feeling that the
irl had passed through the fires of adversity
nd still suffered therefrom.
But Lewis -Weston knew not this as yet ;
he merely felt a slight curiosity about her,
More induced by her apparent isolation than
anything else. He was a young man in
good oircumetences, One of those pleasant
agreeable, whole -soured fellows we often
meet. He was manly looking, not yet blase,
but able to enjoy to the utmost whatever
amusement wai going. As an inmate of the
" Sweet Briar '' be , was a decided acquisi-
tion.
," Hanle, Harrie, you're wanted," came in
guarded tones from the door that opened on
the piazza.
The speakerwas a rosy-cheeked girl, and,
tis the person addressed did not hear she
IIaid her hand on the arm on the girl who had
ttracted Lewis Weston's notice, saying,
‘ Hand; you're wanted : Jackson is ask-
ing for you, the latter accompanied bya little
shake.
Harrie turned with a start, and smother-
ing a sigh, said, " Thank you, Katie, you
are very kind."
,1 The words were simple enough, but voice
and manner were these of a lady ; and Ketie
glanced at her sharply as she had often done
during the past month, and with a like re -
Suit, her companion was unreadable.
"Nonsense, Harrie, don't you often do
things for me and save me many a weary
step ; but if you will let me say it, don't go
en the piazze again else Jackson may make a
uss. Now, don't get mad," as Harrie's
ead had unconsciously been haughtily
aised, " I would not have told you only to
Have you tronble." •
" I know it, Katie." Then, with an effort
" I would not have gone there this evening
but the view tempted me, and I think,
with a little smile, " I almost forgot where
I was."
" You looked miles away when I called
you. What were you thinkieg about?"
- A spasm crossed Harrie's face and she
turned her head away as she answered, Yes,
was far away : I was thinking of the long
go. 1,
" Well, here we are at the dining room,"
nd Katie opened the door saying to some
One ineide. " Here is Hrrrie, Mr. Jack-
son." ,
' Mr. Jackson wa3 " mine host" at the
0' Sweet Briar," a stout, Tuddy, jovial look-
ing man, who, however, was in anything
but a good humour as he turned round and
Said to the new comer testily, "Where have
yen been ? Oggling and flirting with some
of the gentlemen, Ill be bound ! Remember,
Misa, none of that at the "Sweet Briar,"
elee you cere pack your traps and leave ! Get
Your table set and no words about it," and
he stalked out of the room. .
, Harrie stood erect with compressed lips
and flashin eyes, till Katie said kindly,
-1' .Never m nd the old curmudgeon, deer,
lie'e in one , of his amiable moods to -day,"
*hen she drew a long sobbing sigh, and
Said, half under her breath, ' Oh, John,
L 'ohnt would yeti be willing to hear
i !"
Katie looked at her wonderingly, still'
ore puzzled at her fellow servant's worn
than ever before, yet unable to find clue to
the mystery that evidently surrounded her.
But work was to be done, and soon both
gir13 were busy—Harrie, deft, silent,
t oughtful ; Katie, quick, bustling, live.
i
The eupper bell had scarcely ceased . ri,ng-
i g when hurrying footsteps resounded
t rough the corridors and on the stairs, and
t e fashionable throng began to pour into
t 'e dining•room. The girls stood waiting
quietly, but a close observer might have
oticed_that Harrie gave a covert glance at
e ery man who entered, and looked greatly
✓ lieved when the last one made his appear-
ce. By some singular fatality Lewis
Weston was the last.
Only one vacant seat, and that at Harrie's
t ble ; so he took it, and "began a search for
the lady in white," as he mentally named
her who had attracted his attention on the
piazza. He glanced from table, to table, all
to no purpose, however, and was brought
!back to a sense of where he was by. hearing
tne words, " What pan I aseist You to, sir ?"
spoken at his elbow in a low, sweetly modu-
lated tone.. In giving his order he.glanced
up, lia•lf in curiosity to see the waitress gift;
ed with such a voice, and by so doing -found

himself face to face with " the lady in
white."
For a moment his self-possession almost
deserted him, but as she at that instant
moved off to comply with his request, he
had fully recovered ere she returned. To
say that he was consumed by curiosity does
not half express his feeling • but he ate his
supper and covertly watched' the deft wait-
ress who moved about so quietly and
seemed to know what was wanted by intu-
ition.
Some person called 4;1 Harrie ! " and she
moved across to speak to Katie, and Lewis
could not help noticing the contrast the two
girls made—one so fair and graceful, good,
birth and good breeding inetinct in every
movement, word, and feature ; the other, a
rosy-cheeked country girl, all dimples. and
smiles, witething, merry, playfnl, but lack-
ing the highbred ease of the first. The
more he looked the more puzzled he be-
came ; only of one thing he felt certain,
" she was a lady, anyhow, whatever cause
forced her into her present position."
The days slipped by quickly. Harrie was
the same quiet girl as at first. All Lewis
could glean was that her name *as Harrie
Vanetone. No one seemed to know any-
thing more about her than that. Some of
the male guests tried to initiate themselves
into her favor,.. -but she met all such ad-
vances so decisively that soon she was al-
lowed to go her way in peace. All gave up
but one • that one was Lewis Weston.
Quietly he bided his time.
The first Sunday be spent at the " Sweet
Briar" be spied a white -robed figure emerg
ing from the hotel, and recognizing it, fol-
lowed at a safe distance, till he maw Barrie
hidden from view in a charming little cop•
pioe. Thinking she was unperceived, she
threw hereon down on the mossy turf, and
the pent-up feelings had full vent. In a
little while she partially reoovered, and
drawing from her bosom a locket, opened it,
and gazed on its contents with a face in
which fondest love and deepest grief fought
for the mastery. After what seemed to the
onlooker an age, she raised the costly tritu
ket to her lips; and kissing it passionately
again and again, at length consigned it to
ite biding place. j
The violent grief was exhausted, but the
hopeless resignation that followed was far
more pathetic, and cut the observant watch-
er to the heart. Her book lay unheeded,
her hands idly clasped, her eyes . looking
forward at nothing ; there she eat, one of
the faired vieiona man ever beheld. But
litle recited she that she was fair, that the
day was gloriously beautiful, and all nature
seemed to sing for joy. 'Her thoughts were
far aWay in the past, when life seemed to
her just such a beautiful summer's day as
now shone radiantly around her.,
At length she 'roused herself, and drew
her book towards her, and in a short time
was intent on its contents, seeing which,
Lewis Weston strolled off. But idle curi-
(may on his part was now superceded by
another feeling. Pity and compassion were
blended with ladmiration, and he made a
secret vow to discover her sorrow and light-
en it if possible.
With this resolve, half an hour later, he
strolled to the spot where Harrie was seat-
ed, and, apparently without design, pone-
trated her hiding.place.
" Ah Good afternoon, Mies Harrie,"
raising his hat as politeiy as if she were not
a waiting -maid.
" Good atternoon, Mr. Weston," was the
coldly polite reply. -
" You have a charming nook here," with
a sm i le.
" It gives me what I seek—solitude," was
the significant anssver.
But Lewis Weston would not take the
hint. He still maintained his easy bearing,
as -he replied gaily, " Solitude, Miss Harrie !
who talks of solitude at the Sweet Briar I' "
Then, changing his tone, "But ,I beg yotir
pardon, I am interrupting you'r reading.
Scott is it not ?" with an inquiring glance
at the handsomely bound book in her
hand.
" Yes,"• and a slight flush pasied over her
face 'leaving it paler than before as she
eaw in his glance wonder at her 'being `in
possession of such an expensively bound
volnme.
"Are you an admirer of his ?" It was
hard work to start & conversation, but
Lewis war not easily daunted.
Brief and cold came the monosyllable
" Yes," from her perfect lips.
" Really, Mies Harrie, you might ask me
to sit down," and his merry blue eyes looked
down at her roguishly.
For answer, she rose to her feet indig-
nantly, -and in Bo doing her book fell almost
at Weston's feet. He instantly stooped 'and
picked it up ere she could. secure it, and in
doing no happened to glance at the flyleaf.
There a free, manly hand, was written
these w rds, " To my darling wife, Bette,
from he loving husband John." Instinc-
tively he glanced at the girl standing so
haughtily indignant before him ; but her
face might have , been chiselled marble it
gleamed so coldly white. 1
"If you have finished with my book I
should like to have it please."
The measured tones , recalled him to a
senee of where he was, and, mechanically,
he extended the book towards her. She
took it, and with a distant bow moved off
in -the direction of the hotel, but had scarce-
ly gone fifty yards when he was by her
side. With an indignant gestare she faced
him, her dark eyes blazing with anger at
his persistence.
"I beg your pardon, Mies Harrie, but
you must not let me drive you away from
your fairy palace. I am going to the hotel,
and you
and re,isi

ght Lewis Weston was one of the
he dining -room, and set himself
y watch Harrie. In BO doing he
vered she was ever on the alert to
gentlemen, but paid no attention
to the ladies ; and some way the idea grew
in his m' 0 that she feared the artival of
some pers n.
That n'' ht, on his retiring to rest, the
scene of t e day was even more vivid than
I
ever, and &Doing before Hs eyes, assuming
all kinds fantastic shapes, but ever sur-
rounding that pure, pale, chiselled face
were tho e words, "To my darling wife,
Retta 1"
As the ays passed, his untiring courtesy
wen from arrie in return e -friendly feel-
ing, and n w when they met plessent words
wore pass d, and occasionally a 'hint chat
indulged . In this way Lewis discovered
that she as a girl of euperior education ;
bat still t e mystery surrounding ber was
as dense ever. No word of her past was
ever epoke he did not even know where
I
she came 1 om, but slowly and surely he
was beim ing infatuated, and ere a month
had passe away he knew that Harrie Van -
stone was earer to him than all else in the
world. B t he never got an opportunity to
tell her so ; there meetings were so unex-
pected an of such short duration - that he
had no ti e to speak of what was upper-
most in hi thoughts.
The end of bis sojourn was nearing rapid-
ly, and as e rose one Sunday morning he
mentally owed he would know his fate ere
nightfall. He was late for breakfast, and
the table was almost deserted. While he
was waiti g for Harrie to bring him his oof-
fee be hea d Mr. Jackson saying volubly,
" This vi y, sir ; take a chair here," and
glanced u at the hew comer, while Jackson
went in se rch of Harrie.
The lat arrival was a.young man, decid-
edly hand me, with fair curly hair, keen
grey eyes, and a _math the expression of
which w s hidden by a drooping brown
moutach ; but the rest of his face betok-
ened rem lotion which, on provocation,
might ver e intc: obstinacy. At that time
his face w re a half -sad, half -weary expres-
sion, as if he bad lost something 'out of his
life, and ould not find it agaio. , ,
Mr. Ja kson met Harrie at the far end of
the room, and told her a guest was at her
table wai ing to be served. She glanced
carelessly down the room, but the instant
her eyes f 11 on the new comnr she grew
deadly p e and would have fallen had she
not caug t the table for support. Mr. Jack-
son, in al rm, asked if she Were ill ; but
with an e ort she recovered herself, and,
saying eh felt better, slowly Talked down
to where eston was waiting her coming.
• •
Jackson etched her euriosly, and noticed
she stood directly behind the new comer to
reeeive hi order.
When she addressed him he started vio-
lently an looked around, but her face was
averted, nd it was a puzzled look that fol.'
lowed he down the diningrooni. When
she disap eared from view, he leaned for-
ward and ked Lewis " who the fair wait-
ress was?'
Weston answered briefly, "Her name is
Harrie Va stone," and eyed the man, with
ill -conceal d dislike.
" Than s." Then half aloud with knitted
brows, " 1 he voice was Retta's. I must
get a look into her face !" '
These ords caused Lewis Weston to
start and :row pale, and once more those
words, to my darling wife, Retta," float-
ed before is eyes, only this time there were
two faces ithm them—one was Harem's,
the other t at of the new Comer.
Cold, pa e, almost defiant, looked Harrie,
as she glid d up with' the ordered edibles, .
and Lewis aw a band of flaming red cross
the new est's face as he caught a fair look
at her. ry little breakfast he ate, and
when he ro a to leave the table Weston saw
he moved irectly towards Marie, instead
of going to the door. When oppoeite her,
he bent his head and said, low but distinct-
ly, "Rett !"
The tone was full of tenderest feeling and
reproach, ut ,Harrie made' no answer,.
merely mo ed aside te let him pass, which,
after a :no ent's hesitietion, he did ; as he
left the rofm, Weston caught a glimpse of
his face, a d could not help feeling sorry
for him, hi features displayed such acute
anguish.
Harrie I oved about the room ;performing
mechanical rthe duties that devolved npon
her. Fain would Lewis have spoken, but
an 4ndescri able something in her face made
him leave he room as silently as possible.
Outside he stationed himself to comlnand
the back ntrance, so as to see her should
she attemp to leave the house.
In passi g out he encountered the 'strang-
er, and a s dden thought struck him. *Go.,
ing to the egister he soon satisfied himself.
There in t e same handwriting as that in
Harrie's b ok was ths name, ',John Hart-
,nell, Portl nd."
In a sho t time, Lew•is saw Harrie leaving
the hotel a d going in the,direction of her
favorite co pi ce . As 'before he once again
followed h r. Glancing round like a hunted
deer she t- length reached the friendly
shelter, a d, casting ;herself down on the
grass, moa ed out, How can I bear it !
Heaven h lp me, how can I bear it 1'' and
sobbed un estrainedlys
'Lewis eston 'approached quietly, and
gently laid his hand on the bowed head.
With a oan of anguish she wailed out,
" Why di you come here ? Oh, John, why
did you co !" •
" It is ot John, Harrie, it is I," said
Lewis gen ly. I
She Bud, enly sat ap and gazed at him
with a,ffrig t in every feature.
Don't look so, liarrie ! My darning,
what tron les you ? " and the strong linen
gathered r to him in,a, close embrace there
was no mi taking.
With a ow anguished cry she burst from
him, sayin , " Leave me alone, Mr. Weston,
I must ha e peace, else I'Il go mad !"
" I will riot ge, Havre°, till you tell me

lutely. Child, don'G you know I love you

sorrow ? Let me help you 1"
" No one can help me, Mr. Weston," and
the utter hopelessness of the tone sent a
chill to the heart of the lietener.
" Promise to be my wife, darling, and
know we can disperse this cloud ofi morrow."
His voice was winning and tender, i
" Your wife 1 year wifs 1" and1the dark
eyes looked doubly large and dark as ehe
gazed at him horrow-stricken.
" Yea, my -wife ; my dearly laved and
guarded wife. Harrie, won't you sky yes ?"
and he moved towards her, but retreat,.
ed slowly, her face, never losing its white
scared look.
" Your wife ! Oh, you don't know, else
you would never, never have asked ,itich
thing ?" she ejaculated. -
" Know what, Harris ? I only knew I love
.you better than life !" passionately
" " Hush 1" and she controlled herSelf by a
great effort. " Mr. Weston, I cannot answer
your question because," and her voids shook,
'“ because I am already a wife."
•Lswis Weston staggered back as if he had
received a blow. " Married -1 Oh, good
Heavens, Harris Married and to whom ?"
Then, as if a light had suddenly deoWned on
him, " Not to that man who spoke to you
this morning and called you Retta'? not te
John Hartnell, Harris !"
Yes, Mr. Weston, to John Hartnell,"
she said with bloodless lips.
" Then how is it you ealled yoursihf Hars
rie Vanstene ?" eternly.
" It is a long story, Mr., Weston, but if
you chooee to listen, I will tell you all, and
then yon evil' not judge me ao harshly," she
replied Nimbly. •
Withosa a word, Lewis Weston stood wait-
ing ; white, stern, and eold, he looked at the
beautiful' woman sitting in Bich hopelesi
despair at his very feet. For a shed time
they ward silent. then he broke the ;spell ill
cold, stain words.
" I ard waiting, Har—, Mrs. Hattnell
She roused herself with a little shudder,
drew. her hand across her eyes u if to clear
their sight, then began in a low, clesr tone,
so deadly level in its calmness that every
word fell like a blow on the sensitiVe feel-
ing of the man, who for the time being
stood facing her in the double character of
scouter and judge. Hadthey not been eaS
absorbed in their misery they might haVe
noticed a slight matting in the bushes near
them ; but it passed unheeded as likrrie be -

gan her story.
" Mr. Weston, you ask why I am here ati
Harrie Vanstone, and I will tell You, btit
you must listen patiently. My name, be-
fore I married, wise Harietta Ironstone
Howard. op, as I was generally called, Ret.
ta Howard. While quite a mere child,
about sixteen years of age, I met John
Hartnell for the first time. I was an only
child and an orphan, my home being with
an aged aunt, who died shortly after my
marriage.
" That first summer of our meeting wile
like one long, glorious holiday—nothing to
mar its pleasure and joy. He spent the
greater part of it in our vicinity, and yea
can guess the Impel. I learned to lov'
him ; indeed, I think from the *et m
ment looked into his fa3e that I love
him with a love that will never kpow
end. Still nothing was said, and When
bade me good-bye that October morning
return to his home, we stood unfettered
word or promise. •
" But the bright new year brought hi
again to my side, and ere the shert d
closed, we were pledged to each other f r
weal or woe. Ah, how fair it all looked !
"In May we were married. He thok me
to his home at once, and I then hinted fel.
the first time that it was a rich rnan I had
-
married. His mother and two eistets lived
in the adjoining house, and from the very
first treated rne with:cold, contemptirout in-
difference. I felt deeply grieved, but John
said when they knew me better they would
love me as he did • so I tried in every wa
to win their affection, but all in vai
and they left no chance unimproVved b
Time only seemed to deepen their dislike
which they could mortify or annoy Ime. ,I
bore with it for his sake, for were they ndt
te,
his mother and sister ?
" Thus the first year of my marriage wore
away, and I was joyfully happy for all, foil•
John was the most tender and loving Of ha -
halide, and strove in every way to make me
happy.
' In June our little Grace came to us,
and if anything could add to our jo that
lie
did ; but if it were possible to incre the
rancour andhatred of his mother a d• er -
term our added happiness seemed to de so.
" For three months she Was given . to ut,
then God reached forth His hand and took
her home. Oh, the misery of that1 time It
When they ;robed my darling for the grave
I sat in dumb, tearless agony, like al being
cut from stone, and his mother Said i 'neer-
ingly, I had no feeling and was, in my heart,
glad to have the trouble of a child se quick-
ly removed. , I II
,
" They buried her near the lake, end ter
weeks I was like a dazed woman. The firet
thing that aroused me was the feeling! tha •
John was changing in manner towards me.
No longer did he seem to anticipate my
wishes ; even his caresses were cold and
formal, and I chid myself for my ' selfish
sorrow and tried to make , amends, tit all
in vain. ' r
" Each day seemed only to wr en the
breach, and I saw with a slow sensation of
horror that he was beginning to spend more
and more of his time with his mother, and
after each visit he grew colder and more re-
pelling then ever. I begged and preyed of
him to tell me the reason. A contemptik
ous lobk'or silent disregard of my question
was tht only answer.
At last, in desperation, I went to his
mother's, and on my knees begged i her to
give me back my husband's love ; but she
laughed at my tears and agony, and said,
John was only beginning to see what a mis-
take he had made, and taunted Me with
having married him for his money,atid much
more I will not repeat. I rose trent my
knees a different woman. Even that bold,
wicked woman quailed before my look, as
without a word I left her house.
" From that day I was more' like a mar-
ble than a living woman • the only time I
seemed human was when'I stole to My dar-
ling's g, rave and, with tears and sobs,
thanked Godfor having taken her home,and
begged to be taken also. I have often lain
hours on that tiny prave ; it was the one re -1

" His mother and I seldom met now. 'If
by chance I encountered any of them my

that only added fuel to the flame, John sid-

John had only gone aWay to get rid of nui,
and meant never, never to come back again.
I disdained to reply ; but when week fol-
lowed week, and three months had drigged
their weary length by, and yet never a word
from him, hope slowly died in my bosom
and despair took its place.
" The climax, was reached when one May
morning she came tome with a letter from
him in her hand, and read his own words' to
the effect that, as long es I remained in
his shadow should never darken its
streets. I listened, and when she had fins
ished, said : " You have done your work
admirably, Mrs. Hartnell, and I hope your
suceess may not prove to _you the bitter
punishment it has to me. Now go, and
hope I may never look on your face again at
long as I live and she went cut like one

she left behind her 1

the next day, after a farewell visit to my lost
darling, I turned my back on E--. I

out of the place as completely as if I bad

" Love him ! love him ! Yes, more than

lips, for the bushes parted, and John Hart-

With one bound he reached Harries side,
and heedless of the onlooker. knelt there
murmuring wOrds meant only for her ear,
and begging for forgiveneas. Lewis Weston
stood for a moment, then turning away

We will draw a veil over that meeting o

found himself face to face with Mr. and
Mrs. "Heathen. The shadow was lifted
from their lives, and they stood facing him
with cinch a look of peace and content that
it almost caused him to feel a jealous pang
at the change.
John Hartnell was the first to speak
" Mr. Weston," he said, in clear, ringing
tones, " you have heard part of oure sad
story, and with your permission, I will tell
the rest." •
Lewis bowed, he could not trust himself

Toronto, Sept. 4—Rev. Mr. Elliott, of
Richmond Hill, was in thi city reeently,
on his way home from a tri , and was inter-
viewed as to his experience' in the 11141 of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, publithed some thee'
ago. Mr. Elliott said at that time ; "I
consider Dodd'aKidney Pills a good reliable
medicine for the diseases fo which they are
recommended. When I ar people com-
plain of lame back or Rheu &tic Trouble I
always ray why don't ou take Dodd',

When interviewed Mr. iElliott fully and
emphatically confirmed hisi firat testimony.
Farm and Garden.
There it only one flock of pure merino -
sheep in England.
The orchard is a most,e cellent. place to
allow the fowls to run in, as there is a great
deal of matter 1 ing upon the surface that
will be tuied ood by the fowls.
The summer egg is the One from which
the money is made by the farmer. It ia
the man who takes excellent care of hit
flock who makes money frem winter eggs.
This kind of care very few farm flocks ever
get.
The 'dearth' of farm servants is not con-
fined to Scotland. In England the same -
complaint is heard, and farmers are &im-
pelled to work with less hands than they
require, and to pay handsomely for the -
labor they are able to secure.
Who is the biggest sheep farmer in Scot-
land? Thu; quettion was Warmly debated
the other day in a provincial market town,
and the conclusion was that! it is probably -
the Duke of Argyll. The Duke's holdin„gs.
