'I hope you have 'Not prettiot than Sigrid?' said the little sister confidently. 'Wait till you see,'said I''irthiof. 'She is a brunette and perfectly lovely. There now!' as the musie ceased, 'Sigrid, has felt her left ear burning, and She knows that we are speaking evil of her, Let us come to confess.' With his arm still round the child be entered the pretty bright looking room to the right. Sigrid was still at the piano, but she had heard his voice and had . turned round with eager expectation in her face. The brother and sister were very much alike; each had the same well cut Greek features, but Frith- io's face was broader and stronger, and you could tell at a glance that he was the more intellectual of the young man of one and twenty, ':'get all the information you can- ' of young Feick, but on no ac- count allow him to know that your father is seriously thinking of set- ting you at the head of the proposed 'branch at Stavanger. When that does come about, of course Herr ' Falak will lose our custom, and no doubt it will be a blow to him; so ,mind you don't breathe a word 'about it, nor you either, girls. We don't want to spoil our holidays with business matters, and besides, one should always consider other people's feelings.' Cecil set her teeth and the color rose to her cheeks, she moved away to the other side of the deck that She might not hear any more. ;-'What hateful people! they don't titre a bit for the kindness and hospitality of these Norwegians. 'They only mean just to use them ,as a convenience.' Then as her rdtb8'r rejoined her she exclaimed, 'Roy! who are those vulgar people over on the other side?' 'With two pretty girls in blue ulsters? I think the name is Mor- gan, rich city people. The old tan's not bad, but the young one ?his a born snob. What do you think I heard him say as he was writing his name in the book and, y;caught sight of ours. 'Why, Re- , 'heft Boniface—that must be the music shop in Regent Street. 1Norway will soon be spoilt if all ,the,eads take to coming over.' And °,,there was I within two yards of 'Oh, Roy! he couldn't have known .,or he would never have said it.' 'Ob, yes, he knew it well enough. It was meant for a snub, richly de - :served by the presuming tradesman who dared to come to Norway for his holidays instead of eating shrimps at Margate, as such cattle :should, you knew!' and Roy laugh - ,ed good humoredly. Snubs had a way of ' gliding off him like water ,%U'a duck's back. 'I should have hated it,' said Ce- cil. 'What did you do?' 'Nothing; studied Baedeker with an imperturbable face, and reflected sapiently with William of Wyke - ,ham that neither birth nor calling 'but 'manners makyth man.' But Took ! this must be Bergen. What a glorious view! If only you had time to sketch it just from here!' Cecil, after one quick exclamation of delight, was quite silent, for in- deed few people can see unmoved that exquisite view which is unfold- ed before them as they round the fjord and catch the first glimpse of the most beautiful town in Norway. Had she been alone she would have allowed the tears of happiness to come into her eyes, but being on a crowded steamer she fought down her emotion and watched in a sort of dream of delight the pictliresq,'ue wooden houses. the red tiled FOQfs, the quaint towers and spires,: the clear still fjord with its forest of menta and rigging, • and the moqu- tains rising steep and sheer, encir- cling Bergen like so many hoary old giants who had vowed to protect the town. Meanwhile, the deck resounded with those comments which are so 'very irritating to moat lovers of scenes Ys • ono long haired esthete gave vent to a fresh adjective of ' admiration about once a minute, till _Hoy and Cecil were forced to . flee froth him and to take refuge among the sporting fraternity, who occasionally admitted frankly that it Was "a fine view," but who ob- are made a good voyage.'

My surrounded by a pretty little garden, niece, Miss Blanche Morgan.' it was painted a light brown color, Frithiof bowed, and his heart and like most Bergen houses it was began to beat. fast as a pair of most built of wood. Iii the windows one lovely dark gray eyes gave him such could see flowers, and beyond them a glance as he had never before re- white muslin curtains, for wstheti- ceived. cism had not yet penetrated to 'My sister is much looking for- Norway. The dark tiled roof was ward to the pleasure of making your acquaintance,' he said. `Ah 1' exclaimed Blanche, 'how beautifully you speak English !— And how you will laugh at me when I tell you that I have been learning Norwegian, for fear there should be a dead silence between us.' 'Indeed there is nothing which pleases us so much as that you should learn our tongue,' he said, smiling. 'My English is just now in its zenith, for I passed the winter with an English clergyman at Han- over, for the sake of improving it.' 'But why not have come to Eng- land ?' said Blanche. 'Well, I had before that been with a'German family at Hanover, to perfect myself in German, and 1 liked the place well, and this Eng- lishman was very pleasant, so I thought if I stayed there it would be to'kill two flies with one dash,' as we say in Norway. When I come to England that will bo for a holi- day, for nothing at all but pleasure.' 'Let me introduce my nephew,' said Mr Morgan, as Cyril strolled up. 'And this is my daughter.— How now, Florence, have you found your boxes?' 'Allow me,' said Frithiof; 'if you will tell me what to look for I will see that the hotel porter takes it all.' There was a general adjournment to the region of pushing and con- fusion and luggage, and before long Frithiof had taken the travellers to hie fatlloa's carriage, and they were driving through the long, piotur- eaque Strandgaden. Very few vehi- cles passed through this street, for ` throngs of pedestraina walked leis- urely along, or stood in groups talk- ing and laugbing, the women chief- ly wearing full shirts of dark blue serge, short jackets to match, and little round blue forge hoods sur- mounting their clean white caps; the men also in dark blue with broad felt hats.

'Here he comes, here he comes !' cried Swanhild, why had wandered away to the window, and with one accord they all ran out to meet the head of the house, Lillo bounding on in front, and springing up at his master with a loving greeting. Herr Feick was a very pleasant looking man of about fifty; he had the same wall chiselled features as Frithiof, the same broad forehead, clearly marked, level brows, and flexible lips, but his eyes had more of grey and less of blue in them, and a practised observer would have detected in their keen glance an anxiety which could not wholly dis- guise itself. His hair and whiskers were iron gray, and he was an inch or two shorter than his son. They outlined against a wooded hill ris- all stood talking together at the door, the English visitors still form ing immediately behind, with here and there gray rocks peeping through the summer green of the trees,while in front the chief windows looked on to a pretty terrace with carefully kept flower beds, then down the wooded hill side to the lake below —the Lungegaardsvand, with pur- ple and gray heights on the farther shore, and on one side a break in the chain of mountains and a lovely stretch of open country. To the extreme west was the giant Ulriken, sometimes shining and glistening, sometimes frowning and dark, but always beautiful; while to the right you caught a glimpse of Bergen with its quaint cathedral towel, and away in the distance the fjord like a shining silver band in the sun. As Frithiof walked along the grassy tot tree ho could hear sounds of music floating from the house; some one was playing a most inspir iting waltz, and soon as he had reached the open French window of his father's study, a quaint pair of dancers became visible. A slim little girl of ten years old, with very short petticoats, and very long gold- en hair braided into a pig tail, held by the front paws a fine Esquimaux dog, who seemed quite to entet into the fun, and danced and capered moat cleverly, obediently keeping his long pointed nose over his part- ner's shoulder. The effect was so comical that Frithiof stood laugh- ingly by to watch the performance for fully half a minute, then, unable to resist his own desire to dance, he unceremoniously called Lillo the 'dog away and whirled off little Swanhild in the rapid waltz which Norwegians delight in; the languid grace of a London ball room would have had no charms for him, his was full of fire and impetu- osity, a t dant Pe osity, and Swanhild, too, danced very well; it had come to them both as naturally as breathing. 'It is better than Lillo,' admitted the child. 'Somehow he's so dreadfully heavy to get/ around. Have the English peop a come? nt hlidr+gn ryfor ng the staple of conversation, and the anxiety giving place to eager hope in Herr Falck's eyes as Frith - sof ono more sang the praises of Blanche Morgan. 'Have they formed any plan for their tour?' he asked: `No; they mean to talk it over with you and get your advice. They all professed to have a horror of Baedeker, though even with your help I don't think they will get far without him.' 'It is certain thatthey will not want to stay very long in our Ber- gen,' said Herr Feick; 'the English never do. What should you say now if you all took your summer outing at once and settle down at Ulvik or Balholm for a few weeks; then you would be able to see a little of our friends and could start them well on their tour.' 'What a delightful plan, little father!' cried Sigrid, 'only you must come too; er we shall none of us enjoy it.' 'I would run over for the Sun- day, perhaps; that would be as much as I could manage; but Frithiof will be there to take care of you. What should you want with a careworn old man like me, now that he is at home again!' 'Yon fish for compliments, little father,' said Sigrid, slipping her arm within his and giving him one of those mute caresses which are eo much more eloquent than words. 'But, quite between- ourselves, though Frithiof is all very well, I shan't enjoy it a bit without you.' 'Yes, yes, father dear,' said Swanhild, 'indeed you must come, for Frithiof he will be just no good at all, he will be sure to dance al- ways with the prett Miss Morgan, and to row her ab ut on the fjord i all just as he d those pretty lP y girls at Norhoimsul d and Faleide.' The innocent ear estness of' the child's tone made t em all laugh, and Frithiof, vowingtvengeance on her for her speech ch,hsed her round ;Pitcher's C. 1' storia. and round the garden, their laughter floating back to Herr Fakir and 1 Sigrid aa they entered thehousq. I 'The little minx!' said HetrFalck, 'bow innocently she said it, too!! I do not think our boy is, such a des- perate flirt, though. As far, as I remember there was n $thing more than a sort of boy and girl Mend - fillip at either place.' 'Ob, no,' said Sigrid, smiling.,•-. Frithiof was too much of a school- boy; every one liked him and he liked. everyone. I don't think he is the sort of man to fall in love easily.' 'No, but when it does come it will be a serious affair. I very much wish to see him happily married.' 'Ob, father ! surely not yet. He is so young, we can't spare him yet.' Herr Feick threw himself back in his arm chair, and mused for a few minutes. 'One need not necessarily lose ,him,' he replied; 'and you know, igrid, I am a believer in early mar- riages—at least for my son. I will not say too much about you, little woman; for as a matter of fact I do not know how I should ever spare you.' 'Don't be afraid, little father; you may bo very sure I shu'n't marry till I see a reasonable chance of being happier than I am at home with you. And when will that be, do you think?' He stroked her golden hair tend- erly. 'Not just yet, Sigrid, let us hope. Not just yet. As to our Frithiof, shall I tell you of the palace in oloudland I am building for him?' 'Not that he should marry the pretty Miss Morgan, as Swanhild calls her?' said Sigrid, with a strange sinking at the heart. 'Why not? I hear that she is a charming girl, both clever and beautiful, and indeed i' seems to me that he is quite dispo ed to fall in love with her at first s t. Of course were he not properly in love I should never wish him to marry, but I own that a union between the two houses wotild- be -e great pleas- ure to me --e. great relief.' He sighed, and for the first time the anxious look in his eyes attract- ed Sigrid's notice. 'Father, dear,' she exclaimed, 'won't you tell me what is troub- ling you? There is something, I think. Tell me, little father.' He looked atartled and a slight flush spread over his face, but when he spoke his voice was reassuring. TO BE CONTINUED. DEMONSTRATED. Sometimes it costs hundreds of dollars to convince a man; very often loss is required, but in the case of Poison's Nerviline, that sovereign remedy for pains, 10c. foots the bill and supplies enough Nerviline to convince every pur- chaser that it is the best, most prompt and certain pain, remedy in the world. Nerviline is good for . all kinds of pains, pleasant to take, and sure to cure cramps -and all internal pains. It is also nice to rub outside, for it has an agreeable smell, quite unlike so many other preparations, which are positively disagreeable to use. Try it now.
