THE STORY OF G RDON RAVENEL AND HIS LAT VICTORY. - 1.11- ANNA M'CI BRESITOLL.,) On the eeoond mor ing after the house party had aasembled our hostess, Mrs. Ravenel, announced tc no at breakfaat that her nephew, George ¶erdon Ravenel, was oosniog that day to ta e- the place of young Whiting, to whom sonj8thing hadhappened at the Lust metneut. " If any one can take Jack Whiting's place, it' e Gorden," she said with de- cision. "I wrote hi t now as his chance to prove to me was his favorite aunt. He replied tha h wished the proof were harder and atk d more of him—so like Gordon ! - I know you are ail plesteed." We were more than pleased, the men as well as the girls; only the men, in. the nature of things; bad not thateseromantio intereet in Gordon Ravenel whith, under the circumstances, WN8 felt even by the most practical Orli in the party. This, interest was altogethe apart from Gordon's position in society aid from his environ- ments. We all knew that he belonged to a house, to a race, whi h was aristbcratio in the finest sense of the svord ; that he was a living witness to the t aditions of his house, - not alone by his goutiel manners, but by an indetioribable, indefina le something in the man himself, as if he had been born with great memories.One eels ocoaeionally that the most fortunate nomenta, the happiest memories, of many generations are some- times preserved in one deeoendart. Gordon to me always suggested the nobility of those long dead. . We knew all this about him.' We knew, too, that he was heir to a large fortune, yet' worked iu a down town office as,if his. lif& depended upon performing well tho sinall duties of his limitless. We knew theee things, but, they were secondary. It. was not the glamor of hi fi personality, not the charm of that luxury B,gainet which he lived his aornewhat austere !life, that fascinated us just now, and made' us welcome the very thought of his coming. It was the fact that two s epee before, a girl—a beautiful 'girl, high minded and high 'bred, seemingly worthy of Gordon, as Cordon was worthy nf F her—had suddenly bro en, her engagement with him, on the gourdthat ho refused to explain to her an ineident which he believed derogatory to his character. After having been engaged to Gordcin for f one year, after having known his love she chose to accept, oircumetantial evidenes that he was not a true man. • No one knew what ,Gordon felt or thought. He went straight .on with his work ; he either sought - nor- avoided social life. Whatever cataclysms he went throrsgla he ept to hirma If.

'up stairs, kaviug the.men to,a idnight smoke,' we gathered together for a few moments in Margaret'e room, for th inevitable feminine discussion of the event of the day. Gore don had not arrived after all. He had telegraphed to hie aunt hat. owing to sone hueiness detention be w uld not come down until the early mornie train. We could yet -speculate as to possible changes in him, wrought by a year's abs nce. . " Is he the Gordon Ravenel' who was engaged to Jialie Rollin ?" ask the only girl of the party wire had n t met Gordon. . ' s "There- is only ono Gordon Revenel," tiomebody answered. . " You all eeem so enthneialtic over him," she went. on ; "yet t,here was something wrong abo t the breaking of that engagement, if I remember rightly. What was it? Didn't he do something dreadful?" 1 "There was a great deal wrong about the hreaking of the etigage ent," said a clear, cpol voice, " but the Gordon."

She had been to sorhe dance or other. "Tho electric light show i full upon -Gor- don, upon the miserable oma iae'tand the hansom he war trying to et jute. Next morning Gordon received a note from Julie, demanding an explanation •f his conduct, and implying the worst e spicion of him. He refused an explanation, urt to death, I suppose, that she should doubt. There- upon she broke the engagement, and took care that the world should k ow why." "And what did the world say ?" ques- tioned the girl that didn't k ow (yordon. "What does the world u ually say under circumstances ?" Margaret counter ques- tioned. "They said that it is not well to be chivalrous in the prize of an electric light." "I know what Gordon's m n friends said," spoke up the boyish girl of the party. "They said, One and all, t at Julie Rollin was a little fool, cinly the made _it more emphatic ; and that Gordon was well rid of her. He didn't sea it i th t light. I im- agine he worships Filer till t is day ; and he is wating for her taltrust hi . If he were wise he would console hi self with an- other girl." " Gordon, unfortunstely, is lacking in that bort of worldly wisdom," Margaret said, drily. " But didn't he ever tr to explain ?" said the girl for whose tbene t we were re- viewing Gordou, . " I fear that you are mis ing the point," Margaret answered, "He would have ex• plainod a thousand times ver, if she had not demanded an explan tion as if she thought the worst of him. What oould he -do? She drove him to silence. My broth- er who hadsparted from hie4 a few moments before this happened, took it upon himaelf to account for Gordon's whole evening to her—for they had been together at the Settlement—but oho told him that unless Gorden -himself explained his conduct, she would not be satisfied, Well, he wouldn't explain, and she dismissed him." " Lucky Gordon 1" said the boyish girl. " Perhaps," I say. But it is rather tragic not to perceive one's own good for- tune." _ " I remember the first ti e I ever heard of Gordon Ravenel," said Margaret's friend, Elizabeth James. "He w a just out of eollege, a youngster of t enty. He was invited to 8, very grand d nner indeed, to which I was also invited. He kept ithe other gueete waiting for im twenty five minutes. His hosteee only forgave him; I think, because he looked s beautiful and so penitent when he entere the • drawing. room, and whispered to her that he would tell her all about it, in th t truthful way he had. Well, it turned o b that he had found a cat in Washington quare—nothing ever did go right for Gordo in Washington Square—a mieerable, street at with a brok- en leg, half torn off, a belie e, and he took it to the S. I'. C. A., im aculate dinner clothes and all, because, f moth, he was afraid to intrust it to a messenger boy ; and to save thecereature some isery he kept eleven people waiting twen y-gve minutes for their dinner. Bit then :he was only a boy !" I watched Margaret'a fac as Elizabeth was talking. It was white nd impassive, but once her dark eyes brigh etted as if with sudden tears. She had bee a favorite for several seasons. Men felt that she really didn't care, so they cared. Success came to her because she did not seek it. Her fate ciliation was partly in her be uty, partly in her dainty luxury with whio she was sur- rounded,but chiefly in a ertain melan- choly not usually associateis ith youth and wealth and beauty. Elizabeth used to say t at Margaret's melansholy was that of a b rn aristocrat; the melancholy that; gives t the faoes of Vandyke' cavaliers their h unting charm. But I thought it had a m re direct, less mystical source. I thought so on this mid- night, when they were all talking of Gor- don, something in: Margaret's eyes told n melancholy. we had gone, O hour later, the fire, her nees, her face ere breakfast - a great many eh a moment °ening.

The Men were up in an in his hands ; the girls formed —we had known him so we we all talked at once, while to epeak to each one of us in urn. "Oh, this is good 1" he s id, when we gave him the chance. " The, same old set I haven't seen so many of you together since the children's party Mrs. M nnering gave. Do you remember it, Merger t You had . on A white dress and blue s oes, and you had water curls, which Jaok. and I would pull out 1" "1 remember it very w 11," Margaret said, letting Gordon take her hand a mo- rnent. I thought her -rather languid, 00U- Bidering that she had not seen Gordon for a year. " We 'remerriber, too," s i young Dsg- gart, "that small Margaret would dance; with no one but Master Gordon Ravenel." Margaret looked annoyed, but Gordon turned to her with laughter -in his blue eyes. They were very remarkable eyes, and the brows above them might have served for the brows of a young St. Lawrence, but there was nothing saintly about Gordon. He was too human! Browned by the In- dian sun and the wied and weather of a long sea voyage, he looked not at all like the typical broken hearted hero. " We thought you were never coming back from India." Elizabeth James said. A shadow passed over his face. " It has been a pretty long year, and I did miss my friends. I had letters and all that sort of thing to awfully kind people out there, but they don't take the place of one's own -people; of the men , and women one need , to go to school with," he added, mischievously, glancing at Margaret. She smiled hack, but not inthe same *ay. "And you are glad to get back ?" I said. "Oh, tremendously glad," he answered, but the fervor of his voice wasn't equal to the fervor of his.worele. We Introduced him eo the one girl whom he didn't know; and he said a few worde to her that were meant for her, and her alone, os was Gosdon's way. He was very imper- sonal in his manner, but he never said things to people that one might say to any- body and everybody. He discriminated always, and gave to you what belonged to you alone, It may have been a dangerous sort of courtesy, but it was very flattering. He didn't mean to flatter. J. think it was hie way of recognizing personality. Things moved very easily the rest of the day, because of him, without his being that objectionable element known as "the life of the party." He blended rather than led. He was with us all, and yet be was with no erne of us. It was well he had this social quality, for he could easily have made things unpleasant for the other men. I think it was a proof of Gordon's humanity that the men were hie firm friends, under circumeitances that relight easily have made them his sworn enemies. Fir the women did not'always conceal their preference for him. On the first two days of his stay, there were sOrne rather obvious exhibitions of this preference. The little girl who didn't know Gordon forgot her parasol and sent him back for it, and told the rest of us not to wait ; and the boyish girl wanted to dance all the twosteps with him in the evening. Only Margaret avoided him ; or, at leak t she avoided being left alone with him. I don't think he noticed that she did so, for I believe that under his interested manner there was an abstraetion that nothing per- sonal could penetrate. He didn't betray himself so long as he had to do the social and general thing; but I doubt if he could have been long alone with one person without showing that, his thoughts, or rather his feeliugs, were else- where. In consequence, he didn't know if any one avoided him. Once or twice, when he was in the background of a conversation or a happening, I saw a sadness in his face that, once seen, could never be forgotten. Elizabeth must have slipped- behind the curtain herself in some moment of play or talk, for she said to be one evening : 'I do believe he careyet for that woMare I know that look, when the eyee are so wide open, yet see nothing near them. He was looking at some one to -day • some one who isn't of our house, party. He was talking to her, too, while' we were all buz- zing about him. Her answer must have hurt him, for he suddenly ceme back to us as if for comfort, and the girl he turned to probably thought she was the one. He was ao eager to get back to us 1" " Yes 1 law," a voice said behind us. It watt dargaret's. She had come down droned for dinner in a costume that aug- geet,ed Paris, She was very distinguished this evening, and verbored. "I wonder -why it Surprises you," she wen;) on. " Ger- doe couldn't do anything elate being what he is, bub love and remember. Of oourse it is not brilliant of him—we all admit that— but it is an unusual form of stupidity." "She lookedas if she didn't want us to answer her, so we didn't. Gordon himself 'came up on the porch just then'and lingered a moment to say something to Margaret. I think his friendly, old time way hurt her sometimes like a knife edge. On this even- ing she answered him abruptly and turned away. He looked after her with a puzzled expression, but I don't think he could have told a moment later whether she had on calico or organdie; or whether it was !blue or white or pink. That night we had charades. The spring nights wore cool enough to keep us indoors. Gordon was clever at theatricals, so we made him act a great variety of parts. He was the villain and the hero and the infirm old gentleman, and the benevolent priest, and what not. Only once did he fail us. He was making love to Margaret in a vivid courtship scene. Well, it must have made him think of something, for he suddenly grew as stiff and awkward as a school boy. Margaret was clearly rattled. She said some nonsense, with such a sea.red look that the audience promptly yelled. We drop- ped the curtain on'theunfortunate pair." "That was my fault, Margaret," Gor- don said, ruefully. " Why don't you biff me for being BO asinine? Honestly, I forgot what I had to say." "Clearly you and I were never meant for lovers," she said in her little cool man- ner, which came back to her with the fall of the curtain. " We'd beacr not try it again," she added. It was the very next morning that paor Daggerb made his unfortunate announce - Mont, and ruined the day for himself as well as for Gordon, We were having an early breakfast, for Mrs Ravenel had planned a picnic for us, a a noel spring picnic to a wild and romantic ravine about ten miles distant, where there were high falls, particularly beautiful at this. time of the year, when the streams were swollen. We were to go in carryall, have our lunch there, and study " Fpring effects in scenery," as Mrs. Ravenel expres- sed We were all assembled at a nine o'clock breakfast, all but Gordon and one or two of As a F od For the Skin Powder a may cover up the disfiguring eruptions, but can never cure them, and are positively inJusious, because theY clog up the pores of the skin.

He had begun with the war news, or what was fast promising to be war news ; and then he had gone lightly on to the society columns, and had rattled off a list of names and events of more or less importance ta us. Suddenly he stopped ; then gave a low whistle. " Well, here's news with a vengenoe," he said. " Julie Rollin is engaged to Will Parrish 1" Of course he did not know that at that very moment Gordon had entered the room, but the rest of us saw that the newcomer had overheard the flippant item. I shall never forget his face. He stood just inside the doorway for a moment, motionless and pale as death. A horrible silence fell upon us. Daggert looked up from his paper and said with ostentation : "Mrs. Jack Marvin is going to give a series of little dinners at her town house through May. I wonder if Mrs. Jack is trying to set the fashion of a London sea- -son 1" We all began to talk at once, and Gordon came forward and said good -morning in his usual manner. He did not make a pretence of gay, feverish talk, however, to cover up his emotion. He was very silent during the breakfast, but it was not the kind of silence that embarrasses others. I think he would have given much for the prospect of a lonely day in the fields or forest. Our odds and ends of talk must have been unbearable, but he made no sign. We left the table as sootas we could, and hurriedup stairs to repa-c for the ride. 'Do you think he cares much?" asked the girl who hadn't known Gordon. \The eyes of the boyish girl were filled with tears. "I'm thinking it's a case of historic drum- mer boy. Was he a drummer boy? Well, you know, the story, any way. Napoleon said, You are wounded.' '1 am killed, sire,' he atswered." Margara Mannering said not a word. "1 am afraid that he dreamed Julie would be .true to a lost love," Elizabeth said. "How could she, when she wasn't true to hiin ? Well, this one day will be the hardept. He won't have even the comfort oflbeing alone under the open sky. He'll have to think of women's wraps and sandwiches and petty picnic stunts, while his heart is--' " Not breaking," Margaret interrupted ; "all that is past tense. The worst suffering never has a present and future—is it did, there'd be some hope. Stop pitying Gordon —he wouldn't thank you." She swept away from us, and went down stairs with her head erect. Gordon stood at the foot of the stairs. " My aunt has appointed me sentinel to challenge the girls as they come down. I am not to let them pass unless they have wraps enough. Are you sure you have, Margaret? The air is chilly on the moun- tain, and a spring picnic is a risky experi- ment." "Thinking of women's wraps, Gordon !" Margaret said, with a little enigmatical smile. "Indeed, yes ! It is the most important consideration of the moment," he added, with an answering smile. Throughout that day I think he must have made a life and death effort to keep his thoughts on the " most important con- siderations of the moment ;" he never relax- ed his attentions; he did his share of talk, of .work, of play, but with too much appar- ent effort. He even sang Borne rollicking college songs at the request of a woman who was not of the house party. The end of the day was corning on when I noticed him standing a little apart from the rest. In the expression of his face, in the whole aspect of his, figure, was a loneli- ness that blended with loneliness of the forest. It. seemed impossible to reelize that he would accompany us back to a cheerful, conventional house ; to an evening of light- ness and froth. But the hnpreesion was momentary. The tragic, lonely look was but a alga that for one instant he had been far away in the wilderness. Margaret had seen it, too. She went to his side and pointed back into the sorest, where the last sunlight was bronzing the dark pines. " Why don't you out and run !" she said, with the same little enigmatical smile. " Beceuse I am pledged to a picnic," he answered, with the ghost of a smile on hie lips. He saw it through, even until midnight, when the last girl—it happened to be the girl -who hadn't known Gordon—said the list good -night, and floated up stairs to gbesip or to slumber. Then somebody wanted him to play billards, and he played. I don't know when they let him go, but I know that he eecaped at last into the fair spring night. Long afterwards one of the grooms told Mrs. Ravenel that he had met Gordon miles from the house, very early on that next morning. It was the smile morning on which he learned that. war had been declared. Gor- don heard the reales without a word, though the rest of us were in a patriotic ferment ; and the metahad planned the whole cam- paign and finished it within an hour. I wondered if Gordon's love had Obliterated his patriotism; but later in the day I had reason to be penitent over this sin of mis- understanding. A headache had kept me fromsome out door gaiety. I was going dovVn to the library to get a book, and was fancying my- self alone in the house when from a landing I saw Gordon standing before the opeu fire- place in the hall. He seemed lost in thought. Something in his attitude re- minded me of the Watts "Sir Galahad "— if a modern man in a golf suit can resemble a knight in armor. There was armor, in- deed, and knightly symbols upon the walls above him ; and a complete suit of armor stood at one side of the fireplace, about ['which some one had draped the American ' flag. Gordon's deep meditations had, seeming- ly, referenee to the flag; for he turned at length, and laid his hand on it for an in - stank.' We learned later in the day that he would leave us very early next morning; that he was going to &disk The girl who hadn't known Gordon cried herself to sleep that night, and the boyish girl said that the house would be dull with- out him ; and El;zabeth said she was glad the house party would soon be over, for somehow the heart was out of things since war had been declared. Margaret said. nothing, but I knew long afterwards that she did not ondress or lie down that night. She sat by her window through the long hours, waiting for dawn. We all said good -by to Gordon in the evening, because he was to leave very early, before six o'clock. Long afterwards I knew who saw him last of all, and I knew what they eaid to each other. Gordon had insisted you walking to the little country station two mike distant ; and had started soon after five. He was to take a cross cut through the woods, after leaving the grounds of the house. He had just en- tered the woods when he heard quick, faint footsteps behind him, and the rustle of silk skirts. Turning, he saw Margaree. still in the evening gown of pale rose claffon that she had worn at dinner. I can imagine the strangeness of the scet r; the forest in the ethereal light of eaa!v morning ; the beautiful girl, wan from hire night's vigil, and with a paseionate humility in her face, standing before Gordon in her proud array—for Margaret's garments, like - those of Herrick's Julia, were always sig- nificant ; I can see Gordon's look of wonder, as she came out of the evening into the morning, mysterious and pale. Questions crowded to his lip, but she did not give him time. "-Gordon," she cried, " I ad to come. There was no other way. I ould not let you go until you told me ow it is you conquer." He gazed at, bewil ered. "1 conquer? What do you mean, Mar- garet, and why are you here ?" "You love a girl who doubted you and threw you over. You love her yet. Oh, don't -look at me so I know. I know. You have had a wealth of love given back to you, with not even a sign of gratitude. No, I must speak. You had the right to die—or else to hate the world, to despise ail women, to trust no one, love no one. Yet you live and you trust, and eau are not bitter, You were gentle with that little girl the other day when she said some fool thing to you. How do you do it? You must tell me; for I am wretched enough to die. You must tell me before you go" "Margaret 1 Margaret 1" he cried, "you are not yourself. You must go back ;" then, as he looked into her eyes, his words seemed euddenly senseless and eruel. The light of a great compassion came into his face: "Have you, too, suffered for some one I should never have known. But. then we never know. We think only of our own selfish grief. Forgive me, dear." " because I have suffered that I come to you, Gordon," she said. He saw that see trembled, and his mind again reverted to the practical. "But you must go back, Margaret. You have nothing around you, and the dawn is cold." . She shook her head dumbly. He stripped off his overcoat as he had done once before for a woman in a far different scene, and folded it about her. '1 will not go -until you tell me, Gordon, how to keep from hating, from dying, when one loves and cannot----" 'Dear, what can I tell you? And you are shivering under that coat. Margaretago back;you will be ill." "No, no—nob till you tell me. Tell me, Gordon, at least, what love meant to you." "1 think it has meant pain," he said, And what else ?" " What else, Margaret? Perhaps in the end one is glad one could love. One is glad that a woman lives who gave one heaven, and—end no one can take away the after joy." She looked at him as if he spoke the words of an apocalyptic vieion, inspiring but strange and unintelligible. "So love is its own bliss ---in the end." she faltered, "even if the beloved does not know or care." "In the end—yes, I think so, I hope so, even if the beloved "—and his voice grew tender—" does not know or care. But, dear, yotr must go home now. Whatever is grieving you, Margaret? My playmate— for we were playmates—love must turn, somehow, to bliss—in the end 1" He held her hand a moment, then turned from her. For a moment she watched him, then she called : "Gordon, come back to me 1" He turned. I think that something in her face must have told him the truth. " Gordon," she said, " will you kiss me once ?" eiraTIONINOMMINIMINI* Lumbago Dodd's idney ills is Rheumatism`of the back. The cause is Uric Acid inthe blood.

I was very pale, and felt languid ath indisposed to exertion. A dizzy sensation on arieing quickly from a chair, or coming down stairs often troubled me. The least exercise would leave me almost out of breath, and my heart would palpitate viol- ently, -while at other times I 'would feel a, smothering sensation. Often my face and arms would swell and puff, and the arms - became almest useless. I doctored more or lees for the trouble, but did not get sty real benefie until I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had been using the pills only a few weeks when I found myself growing. stronger and better in every way. I con- tinued taking the pills for nearly three. month—for I was determined the eureveoull be thorough—but sometime before I diecon- tinued using them I felt in better health than I had enjeyed for years before. My sleep is now healthful and refreshing, my appetite excellent, and I feel equal to almo'st any exertion.

In Bartoneville, Vermont, S. C. Morrison, a prosperous farmer, decided to move with his family to Tacoma, Washington. The disposal of a Scotch collie dog, a family pet for many years, had been the. subject of much discussion. It was finally decided to leave the animal behind. The household effects were sold, and recently, as reported in the New York World, the family took their departure. The dog, left in the care of friends appeared dejected, and evidently decided diet life held nothing more for him. At the whistle of an approaching train he lefe the house. He was seen to go toward - the railway crossing. A call from the new master was unheeded. Delibeiately stretch- ing himself across the rail, the elog allowed the train to wee over him. The :aet was clearly premeditated, from the feet that he had been trained from a puppy to keep away from the railway tracks and had be- fore always evinced a fear Of approaching trains.
