'What an unheard of hour!'

a,;sort of young Viking, large boned

Blanche, folding the letter. . while his Northern birth was at-

There was general laughter, and
some trifling bets were made upon
the vexed question of Frithiof

the little sister confidently.
'Wait till you see,'said I''irthiof.
'She is a brunette and perfectly

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-

count allow him to know that your
father is seriously thinking of set-

' 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

'Ob, yes, he knew it well enough.

his holidays instead of eating

,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

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,

`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.

do anything to help'him.'
'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

osity, and Swanhild, too, danced
very well; it had come to them both
as naturally as breathing.

the child. 'Somehow he's so

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

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.

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. Go to a drug store
and buy a 10 cent or 25 cent bottle
of Poison's Nerviline. Take no
