LOVE AN
A TITLE
"All right," repeats IIal, patting her
encouragingly on the back. "We'll talk
it over when you come baek-before
then, for Vane bas asked me to go down
to Castle Ferndale; and, I say, that's
where you're going to spend your honey -
mon -not abroad. And, aunt, why dont
you get these fat -lass off her. and some
decent togs on ! Vane will be wanting
to start directly, and she can't go look-
ing like a figure off a Twelfth Day cake,
you know."
The boy's breezy voice and sound com-
O en sense rouses them all from their
stupor. Pushing him, with a kiss, out
of the room, Jeanne slips off her veil,
and her bewildered attendants proceed
to attire her in her traveling costume.
CIIAPTER XVIII.
When Jenne carne down, the carriage,
which was to bear her away from New-
ton Regis was at the door, and Vane was
waiting for her, dressed in a loose tra-
veling suit, and surrounded. by Uncle
John and Mr. Lambton and Bell, while
Hal was rapidly and apparently super-
intending the placing of the luggage. To
see the reverential airs with which Mr.
Lambton watched Vane -the marquis -
how he listened to every word he said
with the most profound eagerness, was
amusing. And when Jeanne came for-
ward, bowing and smiling very much
like his own butler.
But Jeanne had no eyes just then for
anyone but her own people, and it was
not until Vane glanced at his watch, and
Hal declared stoutly that they couldn't
possibly catch the train, that she could
tear herself from the embrace of the only
mother she had known.
"Are you sure your lordship hasn't any
commands for me ?"reiterated Mr. Lamb -
ton for the hundredth time. "If there
's anything I can do, any of us can do,
please remember that we shall be only
to humbly delighted to be of service.
James" -to the coachman -"be very
very careful, be extremely careful, sir,
how you drive. My lord, he's a very
steady man, and you can rely upon him !
Good -by, your ladyship."
"Good -by, Jeanne !" exclaimed Hal,
poking his head through the window-, at
the risk of being run over. "Good -by.
Jen I Good -by !" and the blue eyes
suddenly dimmed by tears, as Jeanne re-
luctantly loosened his chubby hand,
"Good -by, Hal !" cried Vane, leaning
forward. "It's not for long, remember.
I'll take care of her. Good -by !"
"Good -by, Vernon," shouted Hal, who
not once had caled him "my lord."
Jeanne kept her hand out of the win-
dow until the excited group was lost to
sight, then Vane put his arm around her
and drew her toward him.
'Well, darling," he said, "and now
have you quite forgiven me, or not ?"
"Forgiven you ?" said Jeanne, softly;
"for what ?" and she rooked up shyly."
"For my deception," he said, with a
questioning smile.
Jeanne dropped her face upon his
breast.
"Why did you do it ?" she asked, in a
low voice.
"I have to tell you that ?" he answer-
ed, and Jeanne, quick to note the slight-
est inflection of his voice, remarked the
sudden, half -pained gravity.
"Do not tell me,' she says, quickly.
"Yes," he says, "I must. from this
moment there must be no concealment
not the shadow of a shadow between us,
my darling; and I must tell you. But
weren't you surprised, Jeanne ?"
This quetistion made Joanne's heart
leap.
Now is the time for her confession;
now is the time to tell him of the break-
down on the Newton road, and Lady
Lucelle's visit; now is the time to whis-
per meekly, confidingly of her doubts,
and fears which led her to keep from him
the discovery of the secret. Why does
she not speak ? Why doesn't she say,
"I knew it, Vernon, last night; I knew
it was the Marquis of Ferndale whom I
married this morning !"
But Jeanne is silent. Jeanne, the
proudly candid, and fearlessly frank,
dreads the confession.
So precious is the touch of his hand,
so sweet are his loving words and voice,
that she dares not risk losing them. So
Jeanne, alas, is silent.
He waits a moment, then laughs soft-
ly.
"0 course you were; how could you
be otherwise? It was my fault; I ought
to have taken Bell into my confidence
when I gave him the license, but I clung
to my secret as long as I could -I pre-
ferred being Vernon Vane till the last
moment; and no wonder. Was it not
Vernon Vane you loved, and not the
Marquis of Ferndale?"
Jeanne opened her lips to rush upon
her confession; but be goes on, and his
next words decide her forever.
"Yes, Jeanne, it was cruel, it was un-
kind to keep you in the dark, and let
them spring a mine upon you at the last
moment, and before them all. But,
Jeanne, listen, and confess that I have
some excuse.
He pauses a moment, and gently ear -
eases her hand, and, lover -like, lets his
eyes wander over her graceful form lrng-

dale.

lee nods, and musingly divides the slim
fingers and entwines them in his own.
"Unfortunately," be repeats. "Jeanne.

BANANA IS A REAL FOOD.
Supplies Animal Heat, Builds Up Muscle
and Repairs the Nerves.
Professors of dietetics tell us that the
banana is not, as. 8o many fruits aro, a flavor
and nothing nmore, but a rood and a source of
real nutriment. It is at once useful and
delicious. it not only gratitles the palate, but
supplles material for combustion and the
maintenance of animal heat, while it also
builds up the muscles and repairs the worn
and threadbare serves
The flour made front it In its dried state
Is equal in nutritive value to rice, and how
lavigorating and sustaining rice is has been
demonstrated In the recent achievements of
the Japanese. Dried and sprinkled with
sugar, a form In which it has been recently
Introduced into this country, the upstart ban-
ana is, weight for weight, as nutritious as the
venerable fig.
But it Is In the fresh state, clad In its prim-
rose tunic -the stripping off of which lg in
itself a fascinating operettas -that the bana-
na chiefly appeals to us. Its creamy succu-
lence and delicious odor are inviting and Its
pleasant sapor Is a prelude to good digestion.
Dependent as that sapor Is on an ethereal
body which the coal -tar investigators have
not yet been able to imitate by any chemical
essence, it is a subtle stimulus to all subse-
quent alimentary processes. And thus It is
that the banana is an eminently digestible
food. No sense of oppression or drowsiness
follows a meal of It, and a meal of it may be
bulky enough. Pall Mali Gazette.
7. T GRAVEL WAS
SURELY CURED,
Dodd's Kidney Pills Removed the
Stones.
And now Reuben Draper is Well and
Strong after his Long Suffering.
Bristol, Que., July 24. -(Special) -
Reuben Drupes, a well known resident
here, keeps the proof right with him
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will surely
cure the niuch dreaded Gravel. The proof
consists of two stones, one the size of
a small bean and the other as big
as a grain of barley. He passed these
stones and was relieved of all the ter-
rible pain they caused after using Dodd's
Kidney Pills for a short time.
Mr. Draper is confident that Dodd's
Kidney Pills and nothing else paused his
oc
cure, as he tried two doctors without
getting help, and was fast getting weak
and despondent when he stopped all
other treatment and started to take
Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1n a week he passed
the large stone and four days later the
smaller one.
This cute causes a feeling of relief
over people in these parts as it shows
those terrible operation, long thought to
be unavoidable in case of Gravel, are
no longer necessary.

A Ilindoo Boy on the Horse.
Here is a Bombay student's essay
upon the horse: "The horse is a very
noble quadruped, but when he is angry
he will not do so. He is ridden on
the spinal cord by the bridle, and sadly
the rider places his foots upon the stir-
rup, and divides his lower limbs across
the saddle, and drives his animal to
the meadow. He has a long mounth and
his head is attached to the trunk by a
long protuberance called the neck. He
has four legs, two are in the front side
and two are'afterwards. These are the
weapons on which he runs, and also de-
fends himself by extending those in the
rear in a parallel direction toward his'
foe, but this be does only when in a
vexationus mood. His fooding is gener-
ally grasses and grains. He is also use-
ful to take on his back a man or wo-
man as well as some cargo. He has pow-
er to run as fast as he could. He has got
no sleep at night time, and always stand-
ing awaken, Also there are horses of
short sizes. They do the same as the
others are generally doing. There is no
animal like the horse; no sooner they
see their guardian or master they al-
ways crying for fooding, but it is al:
ways at the morning time. They have
got tail, but not so long as the cow and
other such like similar animals." N.

Floating Homesteads.
On all the great lakes of China, aro
found floating islands, which are enor-
mous rafts of bamboo, overlaid with
earth, and upholding above ,the surface
of the water pretty houses and gardens.
They are, in fact, aquatic farms, bearing
crops of rice and vegetables. The rich
bottom mud, utilized as an ar tifieiai soil,
is extremely fertile, and yields bountiful
harvests, though on a small scale. In a
country where there es such a lack of
available land, owing to the overplus of
population, these floating plantations aro
most serviceable, large sails being at-
tached to the dwelling house as well as
whenever
it
to each corner of the island
is desired to move about. After gather-
ing a crap of grain or garden truck from
,the •surface of the lake, the floating far-
mer casts his nets into the waters and
from their depths brim up a supply of
fish for his family.
. To Protect the Angels,
A Richmond (Va.) judge tells a story
which illustrates the difficulty met in
trying to stop the carrying of pistols,
A 'fough youth was brough before the
judge, charged with firing a revolver
in the street. The testimony in the
case was to the effect that the young
hoodlum bad filled himself with
whiskey and had discharged his weapon
in a crowded street. "Twenty dollars
and costs," said the magistrate. "But
your honor," interposed counsel for
the prisoner, "nay client did not bit
anybody." "Wiry you admit that he
fired the glint" "Yes, but he fired in
the air,' explained the lawyer. "Twenty
dollars and costs," repeated the judge.
"Ite might have shot an angel." And the
riotous fellow went to jail, not having
the money to pay his fine.' --New York
Tribune.

Making Marbles.
Germany maintains a nronoply of
making stone marbles in spite of various
'efforts made to wrestle the trade away.
In the marble and. agate quarries there
are innumerable chips and hits of stone
from the cutting of the largo blocks,'
and this refuse is broken into cubes
about the size of a marble.
An experieneed 'worker produces these
cubes of stone at an incredible speed and
•with remarkable uniformity. When
about a bushel are ready they are drop-
ped between a grooved bedstone and a
revolving runner. Water is kept con-
stantly supplied, and in half an hour
the stones are turned out perfect spheres.
With abundant water power the cost is
slight, as a couple of mon can keep a
dozen stones supplied, and the raw ma-
terial costs nothing at all.
In other countries the cost of prepar-
ing the blanks ents up the profits and
competition with the Berman made pro-
duct is impossible.

It is an old ,trick of Kipling to preface
a story with a scrap of verse. He has
ehosen for introduction to An Habitation
Enforced, which appears entire in' the Au-
gust Century, these lines of Thomas Tus-
ser:
My friend, if cause doth wrest thee,
Ere folly hath much oppressed thee,
Far from acquaintance kest thee,
Where country may digest thee . . .
Thank God that hath so blessed thee,

Writing Treaties innE gland.
It is not so remarkable es it may at
first seem that Japan should specify
that peace negotiations iwth Russia
should bo conducted in the English lan-
guage. And yet it is a sign of the times
and may have the effect of establishing
an important precedent. It will be the
first time in history in which two non-
English -speaking nations have made use
of this language for treaty or conference.
Japan's preference for English is only
natural. The Japanese have been coming
to America and England for their edu-
cation; the English and American influ-
ence is the greatest in Japan. It is fur-
ther appropriate because the preliminary
negotiations are to be conducted in
Washington. But it is a significant of
the fact that English is becoming the
world language. Already it is the lan-
guage of trade. -Cleveland Leader.

No "Alleged" Stealing With Him.
An English prisoner on being put into
the dok in a ondon court leaned over
the front of th'e boxand handed a "dock
guinea to a young member of the Bar.
"You defended me one before sir; do
you remember, and got me off? It was
at Hertford Sessions, sir, for stealin' a
watch." "For the alleged stealing of a
watch you mean," corrected the barris-
ter, as he pocketed his fee. "Alleged, be
blowed1" replied the prisoner, promptly,
"I've got the watch at 'ome now."

A Beggarly Compliment.
A woman who moves in the best so-
cial circles saw an old, stoop -shouldered '
woman begging, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Tho heat and the look of ,
distress, real or assumed, on the aged
mendicants- face, appealed strongly` to •
the more fortunate woman, when crossed
the street and bestowed a half dime.
Glancing at the coin which lay in the
deeply lined palm of her hand, the old
woman said:
"God bless you! Many a younger and i
prettier woman has passed me by this
day without giving so much as a thought
to a poor old woman. God bless
you!"

Artificial Surf.
'Not even Father Neptune himself is
free from the encroachment of the
imitator, and an open air bath in
Munich offers to the swimmer a roar-
ing surf, not dependept upon wind or,
tide.
The surf is created in a tank some
two hundred feet long and fifteen fif-
teen feet wide. At one end a mechani-
cal device is employed to send huge
waves crashing against the other, and
the swimmer enjoys all the sensations
of an ocean dip with the assurance of
absolute safety, since the tank is but
n. dozen feet deep and the surf may be
shut off during the rescue of a swim-
mer overcome by his struggles'.
The surf basin is one of the attrac-
tions of a bathing resort, and a small
fee is charged spectators for admission.

their potations at the wedding feast had
left them.
"Sandy," said the minister, "jus stop

I don't walk very steady, and the good
wife might remark something not just
right."
He walked ahead of the servant for
a short distance and then asked:
"How is it? Am I walking straight?"
"Oh, ay," answered Sandy, thickly,
"ye're a' richt-but who's that who's
with you?"-Harper's Weekly.
