CONFUSION OF CASTE. Or Gentility Vs. Nobility of Soul. CHAPTKR IV. H was April, with the sweet spring just beginning. Each day the earth grew greener, and young leaves burst and flowers bloomed. Was not something to thank Uod for to be restored to such a world ? "It seems so beautiful of the sun to shine, sir. when you're netting better " Lctty said to her mauler, ,n her simple grateful way one day. "1'in so glud it's going to bo sum- mer : it seems to help one to be glad." "Yes I am glad too that the RUIM- niiT is before tin." he answered quiet- ly. lie wa a man at most times who, absorbed in his own pursuits, wa affected very little by the changes of the seasons ; but now in his weak- nes*. which forced upon him an un- accustomed IdieneflH. these sweet bright days through which he watch- ed the world reawnking to its now j rousi-il in him also a feeling , of almost hitherto unknown pleasure I nud interest. They did not thrill his j heart with delight, pcrhapn. as they did Letty's. yet in his calm way ho thanked liod sometimes thnt his life had been spared to see them ; he would sit often for a lon< time ail hing the colors on tho trees or in the sky. "Yes. it is a beautiful world. Lctty," be assented one day In an- swer to something that tho girl had aid I i-tty had gentle, simple, almost childlike ways that made her pre- sence soothing and acceptable to Mr Trclawney. During these weeks of convalescence ho fell into the hab- it of having her a good deal with him He was to weak that solitude was wearisome to him, and work Impossible; he wanted some mild in- terest that should amuke and occupy without tiring him, und he found this In her. She wan In natural refine- ment w> much above her station that her presence never disturbed him . he waa ignorant, but her ignorance only affected him like that of a child, he used to talk to her almost on he might have if she had been a child Indeed, not In learning only, but in years It was an unwise thing to do, but he WHH u lonely man. shut out at present from his natural oc- cupation, and too weak in will per- haps, for the moment, to deny kirn- self any help that ho could find to make the slow hours pan. For a few days, at first, he hnd merely sent for her for half an hour lo coino and read to him, and nhe had come and performed her little service, and departed again . bnl presently, when he grew better, and waa able, as Ihe days become warm- er, to spend tho greater part of his tune out in the garden, they were more together by a grcnt deal Sh would frequently then, at hl re- |uest, bring out her work and sit down, not with him, but within ear- rtint of him, so that ho could cull her if he wanted anything, and he d'll Into the habit coon of callinK Often. He would call her, and gcn- fr.tlly when she went to him he would keep IHT near him lor a long time. Sometime* she would stand by his chair while who stayed, but some- time's her standing gave him a sense of unrest, and he would not let her do it. At first sho had begun by never sitting down In his presence rxcept when she wan reading to him, but he broke through the regulation Her a tint*. "You had better sit down. Letty," he lirgiui to *-uy, half irritably. ' You make me feel that I am wear- ing you out when you come and itand like this. I give you no much running about lo do that you limy well sit down and ro*t while you can ," and, though Kho did not want lo sit down, he wan so disposed to be impatienl when he waa crossed i ii.n she had prcsenlly lo give up her oppokiliiin "You'd bettor do what ho tells you Lctty." Mrs. Markhnm too mid. "There's no harm In II and pci,|i|i. when they'll! ill, they ha\e their funrios, you know. I'm suro I'm utilised to sit down when I'm With him. for I'll he lame with the swel- ling III my feet if I was to !>e kept on them for an hour beside his chair. Oh no, Letty, it's quite right you should sit down if he asks you, as long as he's ill. It would be quite a different thing, you know, lo do it at other times, but now it don't mailer, child." Letty had taken her difficulty to her aunt, and this wan her aunt's decision on it. For circumspect though r-lie was. no thought had "yet entered Mrs. Miirkhain'x mind of pos- sible dungcr to Letty In this In- crcaoed inlcrcourse with her master. ivrhups. on the contrary, she was rather flattered and pleased at the liking thai Mr. Trelawnev had taken to tho child ; she might have se- cretly hoped (for sho tvns always anxious about the future for her) that possibly he would ond by "do- ing something" for htr presently something that should raise her above the necessity of working hard for her own living. Mrs. Markhnm. for herself, was far from a grasping woman, but there were times when she could almost have been grasping for her niece. Letty was so unfit to light her own way In the world ; she would probably all her life be so much in need of somebody to hold out a helping hand to her ; if she made a friend of her master would it not be well for her in the time to como ? She may have argued in this way with herself, forgetling a Mr Trelawney too forgot that Let- ty was not any longer a child now. And a* for Letly herself, were these not days never to be forgotlen while she lived ? She was one of those girls whose passionate power of loving seems to be the one power they have, and their devotion to some great worship tho only work in this world thai they are filled to do. Such women must And a god nnd hero somewhere, and, though Mr. Trelawney was certainly in n-nlity neither god nor hero, yet Letty might have done worse, per- haps than spend her life an sliO did in burning incense before him. Me waa at least not a bad man, nor ono who would willingly slay her for her folly. After a very lillle while those first days, when he had merely railed her to him to read for a little while, and then he wanted nothing more from her, came In the memory of thnm to si-^m cold und colorless and almost blank to l.etty. BO much fuller, and sweeter were thono others in which nho was living now, when scarcely an hour passed but he asked soruo ser- vice from her when even If she were not with him she was near him 'when he talked to her a he had 'never done before. He wa* a very ! grave, quiet man, who in a general way talked little and thought much, but in Iheae idle days ho bad no strength to think, and so, for occu- pation, for amusement, for somo- , thing to iiinkii the empty hours pus*. i he talked lo Lelly. It was an en- teit.4inn.ent thai hnd no dangers for him. arid he Was selfish, or forgetful. or indifferent enough not to think of hur. Sometimes he would amuso her, or hiuiself. by telling her things that | hud happened to him long ago. Ho i had travelled a good deal whon ho was very young, and he used to ! toll her about tho Ufa in foreign countries, sho silling the while near to him with her work, which oflon, in tho interest with which she lis- tened to him, would drop upon her knees She used to listen like a child, with a child's eagerness, and ignorance, und belief. Ho told her things thnt were so new and won- derful to her, and her doilght and surprise in thoni used to please him Sho would ask him questions some- hut never more than a few qni st ions, for she was always shy of him, mill too conscious of his con- <U-.i eiiMon to her not lo shrink from doing un.vthiiiK Hint might Hcem as if isha pul herself on an equalily with him. .Shu never onco through all these happy days forgot that he was her master (her master, und In her heart her lord and king), and she his servant. iShe was very neat and deft in waiting on him. Sho moved quickly and quietly ; her voice wu sweet and gentle Tho entire absence in her of all that was coarse and vul- gar was tho chief charm sho had in Mr. Trelawney'* eye. "My little handmaid." he used to call her. He would pat her shoulder kindly some- times by way of giving thanks to her ; he would often tell her how useful she was to him, or would praiso hci to Mrs. Markham. He would frankly say "1 hardly know just now what I should do without Letty ; she Is both eyes and feet to me." Kor a long time, even perhaps after he had grown strong enough to have dispensed with her services, he con- tinued to make her read to him partly from indolence, partly be- cause the sound of her voice had bo- come pleasant to him. and because ho said the practice wan good for her. If she were to be a school- mistress, it would bo useful for her to be able to read well. Ho would ask her about the work she was do- ing with Miss Watson, and once or twice be went over a few of her les- ions with her ; but Letty was slow in learning, and tho part of teacher was not the sort of part that suited Mr. Trelawney. Ho might recom- mend it (as he had done) for Letly. but for him lhat kind of work o far. at least, as concerned its lower brunches was too dull in Its mono- tonous routine to have any power of interesting him. So In- did not help Letty much with her learning, but contented himself merely with making general inquiries as to her progress except when she ventured to bring some special difficulty to him that she had been unable to solve, or when once or twice he took up some mor- sel of history that sho was feebly studying, and clothed its dead bones with flesh for her. "When shall I bo myself again. Oibson ?" he said lo his doclor ono day in May. "What are you In n hurry to be yourself for ?" the other answered. "Do you mean that you want to go back to your writing ': If you are wise you will do no more writing for the next six months. "Six months 1" echoed Mr. Tre- lawney, aghast. "Well perhaps we won't call it six months, but say three, nt any rate. Why, many a one is a year before he gets over the effects of such an i li- nes* as you have had. You may bo thankful to bo as well already aa you are " "Hut I think I am better than you suppose inc. I don't think it would hurt mo to work now."

Scv jrri Years or Kidney Disease- A Prominent Merchant Cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Kv-M-y day adds scores of namea to the lona; Hsl of persons who have tccn cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills, and among those who uro now enthusiasts In praising this great mtJfticine is Mr. W. Ollroy, the well-known merchant of lllenhejni, Ont. .Like many 6thors, Mr. Ollroy now wonders why he did not usf Pr Chasc'a Kidney-Liver Tills in the first place, instead ol experimenting with new-faiiRled and untried remedies. There is no doubt about the ex- ceptions! virtues of Pr. ('huso's Kidney-Liver Pills Thoy act directly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and thoroughly i lire complicated ailments which cannot bo ranched bv ordinary remedies. Mr. W tiilroy, general merchant, Illenheim, Ont, states: "I am rather enlluinla.'itic In tho praise of Or. < base's Kidney-ivor Pills, and believe 1 have good reason to bo.

' her prelty face, and her gentle, sim- ple, modest ways. Ho was touched, too, by her devotion to himself, which was the devotion of a child, he thought (or persuaded himself that he thought), and partly from gralitude for it, portly because he knew that no small a thing from him would give her pleasure, ho would often deliberately go and talk to her, intending by doing so lo make her glad. It waa a dangerous gratification to give her, and he ought to have known thai ; bul perhaps ho thought too little about it to recognize its danger. Ho only said to himself, gently, and even with a kind of tenderness, that he was glad he had tho power to attach the child te him. He said this to Mrs. Markham herself. "Letty touches me with her devo- tion," he said. "I don't Ihink I have a Iruer friend in the world than ho is. If il should ever be in my power to show that I am grateful to her, you and she may both be sure that I shall not be slow to do it." He put out his hand to Mrs. Mark- bam as he snid this. "I think no man ever had a pair of kinder women to take care of him." he said. "Oh. sir, we do no more than our duty. It's you who arc so good to Letty." the poor soul replied eager- ly. "I'm sure Letty may well love you, and bless the day that brought her here." And sho went away, when she had made this answer, with her heart light and glad, for had not her master almost said that he would "do something" for Letty. and was not the seeing Letty pro- vided for the first hope of her heart ? She thought too that the girl was too much of a child, and Mr. Trelawney too much removed from her both in age and rank, for tho kindness that he showed bar to do her harm. (To Be Continued).
