Gerald Dorman watched her anxiouslyâ€"he saw that something was wrong with the wo- man whom he so passionately loved. There was little rest or peace in the, Abbey that dayâ€"it was filled with guests. Vivien’s only haven was her own room; in every other place she was liable to interruption and intru- sion. Lady Neslie’s friends would faint have admired her; some of the gentle- men declared that she was one of the most beautiful women they had seen in England, dreadfully proud. Whey made one or two attempts to talk to What would happen to Oswald if his mother brought a husband to the Abbey ? She recoiled from the thought, It had been bad enough when her father brought a new wife home; what would it be if that wife in her turn brought a new husband 3‘ The morning sun found Vivien Nes- lie still pondering this, the greatest sorrow that had befallen her. She could not recover from the shock. “As soon as Oswald comes of age, I shall persuade him to have those trees cut down.” Vivien remembered well that one day, when they were speaking of some fine old cedars, Lady Nesllie saidâ€" She tried to imagine what she should doâ€"whut Lancewood would be like with one of these loudaspeaking, digni- smnkinvg, bil‘liard-mlaying Frenchmen as its master. Valerie and the consort would not have the power to pull down the building or to cut down the trees; but, if Oswald proved to be what he gave promise of being, they would be able to win his consent to anything. No sorrow that had fallen over her touched her as this did; and that what she dreaded would come to pass she felt sure. Lady Neslie would marry again if she chose. “And I am powerless to prevent it,” she thought; “powerless even to 'nge advice! I can do nothing.” There was no clause in the will to prevent. her marrying and bringing any husband she chose to Lancewood; it was to be her home until Oswald attained his majority. She might have married M. de Nouchet and made him master of the Abbey. If she had the idea of marrying in her mind, it was mo-St likely that she would carry it out. From this abyss of shame and hor-i Eror there “as no escape; and daiker troubles were gathering round her The fear of her secret becoming known - had been some little restraint on Lady 5 Neslieâ€"now that Vivien knew it, there would be no restraint at all,§ Vivien understood the vain, shallow‘ nature well enough to be sure that Valerie would seek to revenge her disgrace upon herâ€"that for bravado’s sake she would be more defiant and in- ? solent than ever. She had never dream- ed of her fathe r’s wife marrying again. ‘ It was an evil she had not foreseen; 9 now it was one she had to dread And when her ladyship married it would doubtless be one‘of those soi-disant " military men whom she so much af- fected â€" not an English gentleman. ' \K hat would become of Lancewood . then? fl Lady Neslie returned to her guests with a calm, unruffled face, as though nothing had happenedâ€"indeed, Henri de Nouchet’s exposure of her' to Miss Neslie troubled her very little. No one could send her from Lancewood or take her fortune away. It was true, Vivien might and probably would say some very unpleasant things, but then words were only air --they could not hurt her. “Henri's revenge has come to no- thing, after all,” thought “miladi;" “and I am really glad to have had the chance of quarreling with him. How‘ could I have ever fancied that I' loved him. How foolish girls are l" The grand exhibition of fire- works came to an end, the banquet was over, the dancers wearied and tired, had gone home; no one no- tioed that the handsome Frenchman iwho had been her ladyship-’s shadow had vanished. The exhausted servants had gone to their rooms; ”my lady,” gay and brilliant to the last, had at length allowed her tired sister to es- cape. The whole household slept ex- cept she who had once been its mis- tress. Vivien Neslie was half bewild. ered by the horror of what She' hadl heard, though it did not take her by surprise. She had always doubted Lady Neslie. Her brilliant beauty and airy grace could not conceal the fact that she was not athorough-i bred lady.’ Vivien would not have been i surprised had the reality been eveni more terrible.

Seldom it ever has a physician so thoroughly won the confidence of the people as haS' Dr. A. \V. Chase, through the absolute reliability of his Recipe Book and the wonderful effi. ency of his great prescriptions. - SALT RHEUM. Mr. John Broderick, Newmarket,_ Ont., writes :â€"“I have been troubled for thirty years with salt rheum. I used remedies. and was treated by physicians all that time, but all fail- ed to cure me. The doctors said there was no cure for me. . I spent hundreds of dollars trying to get relief, but all in vain. My son .brought me a trial sample box of Dr. Chase’s Oint- ment. I found great relief, and had the first night's rest in years. It stopped the itching immediately. One box cured me.

I can choose no 'better than you.” You Can Have Confidence i It was evening before Vivien foundl 'achance of escaping from the house.g Then the people she dreaded to meeti were out in the grounds; but none of: them, she knew, would trespass in her own nookâ€"the garden where the sun.i dial stood. She had resolved upon. consulting Gerald Dorman; he was a; true friend, he would give her sound T advice. She sent a little penciled;I note to his room, saying that she] should be glad to see him, and asking him to join her in the little rose-y garden. There it was all quiet andé calm. After the turmoil of the day? it was pleasant to sit there and think P for a few minutes of her lover. She laid her head against the old sun~dial, ‘ while the western wind brought the scent of the roses to her, and She closed her eyes that she might the better think of her love. “That I certainly shall not,” said Vivien; and so their interview ended. “Certainly, if I receive a suitable offer,” she replied. “You may rely upon one thing though, Vivien â€" -I shall not choose a needy Frenchman, “Yes, if the Fates are willing, After all, you are a sensible girl, Vivien. Yor take things very quietly and very discreetly. I know you will not re. peat any of those horrible stories that Henri told you last evening.” “But you do intend to re-marryf Valerie?” Miss Neslie repeated. “Valerie,” said Vivien, “you have so little good taste that it is useless for me to appeal to that; but, if you have any sense of shame left in you, you will never mention what happened last night to me again. I at least can blush for such scenes. They are the first_of,the kind at Lancewood, and they are a disgrace to the place. Pray do not mention them. Will you answer “As though I should place myself and my fortune in his power!” exclaim- ed “miladi.”""What an idea!” me this, Lady Neslie? Have you any thought of marrying again?” “He left this morning,” replied Miss Neslieâ€"“so Holmes tells me.” “That was a fine scene last night, Vivien,” she said. “Has that absurd man gone 3” (5n the tbua‘éfifig morning, when the two met, Valerie introduced the sub- je9t_-_ ‘her, but they were great failures. The ladies of the party quietly ignored her, which was far more pleasant than if Vivien had ignored them. She was perfectly correct in her judgment of Lady Neslie. The fact, that Vivien knew her secret simply increased “miladi’s” dislike of her. Still Valerie felt quite sure that her secret was safe in Vivian’s hands. “For the hon- or’ of the Neslies she will never betray me,” she thought. in the medicines that have stood the test of years In private praotioe and made famous the name of Dr. A.

'1‘hen another scene occurred. On Lhe terrace just beneath them the little Sir Oswald was playing with a young nurseâ€"girl. She did something to displease him. He raised the whip with which he was playing and struck her a 'violent blow on the mouth. The girl cried out with pain. "Miladi” and the count went to see what had hap- pened. \Veeping with pain, the girl made her complaint. Vivien thought as she watched the two on the terrace, that they certain- ly looked like lovers. She did not like the count. There was something suspicious mercenary, cunning about him. He would not perhaps gamble She sighed deeply. “Alas for un- hapngr Lancewood,” she thoughtâ€"“uh- happy indeed if it fall into his hands!” f “I do not believe that, when Sir iArthur uttered those words as a Especial direction to you, he intended :that your whole life should be spoiled by them.” “No,” he replied, “I do not. I think they love Lancewood and its rent-roll, Lady Neslie is incapable of love; and, though she may’ infatuate and bewild- er a. man, I do not think she could ever win real love. She is too shallow too false.” “ Do you think,” she asked Gerald, “that any of these men love Lady NeSlieâ€"really love her for her own sake 9” Vivien looked in the direction he in- dicated, and there, in the light of the setting sun, she saw “miladi,” with the count. They were walking down the broad terrace, the count all devotion,I all attention, “my lady” lovely, laugh- ing with all her usual grace. She wore a dress of white which looked almost golden in the shade of the set-‘ ting sun. She wore rubies round her white threatâ€"rubies that shone with .-..-.â€". 5- â€"_-. “Look i” cried Gerald. “I should not be surprised if in a few months the Comte de Calloux were master here. I hear on all sides that her ladyship favors him, and that Monsieur de Nouchet has been dismissed.” “Myfather trusted me,” she said: simply; “I must obey.” Be longed to ask her it she would never marryâ€"to remonstrate against the idea of her whole life being wasted through the folly of a false, fair wo- man; but he did noi: dare. He saidâ€" "I shall never leave it, no matter what happens. I shall remain until the endâ€"until I die. My remaining here is the'only hape for the place." "No I.” said Gerald. "I feel .sure that she will marry; and then, at least until Sir Oswald comes of age, her hus- band will be virtually master, The Abbey will be no home for you then, Miss Neslie.” “From the very first I felt that Lady Neslie was not what she seemed to be, I may even say that I am relieved, The truth, I felt sure, would be known some day, and I dreaded worse than this.” “It is bad enough,” Vivien remarked sadly, adding, “But my worst fear is this. If she chooses to remain and make one of those underbred men master of the Abbey, I do not see that anything can be urged against it.” The books we read must be either foes or friendsâ€"they help or harm us. It is well to understand thor- oughlyâ€"as many careless readers never doâ€"whet literary company we a simple list of titles, half the jour- nal of one’s mind, is as easy as it is desirable.

In my little Book of Bhoks, as I call it, I can look back and follow my girlish track through the Scott fever, the Dickens mania, the Thackeray period, my poetic time, my relapse into romantic novels, my digression among detective stories and remorseful return to particular- ly dry and solid philosophers, my happy acquaintance with George El- iot, my discoveryâ€"such it'seemed to meâ€"of Emerson; and note along the way the increasing stars Which indi-i cate the gradual formation of my taste, and my recurrence to the au- thors I love best. i She was startled by these observa- tions, but was interested enough to continue her record another year, and indeed she has kept it ever since. Next, she was not prepared to dis- cover that the proportion of; her read- ing given to fiction was considerably more than three-quarters. ~Lastly, knowing herself not {6‘33 3 reader of actual trash, I she was amazed to find how many books she had read which were merely agree- able at the moment 'and of no per- manent value. Standard books as compared with ephemeral literature held a place in her list of which she could not feel that she had reason to be proud. First of all, she found that she had not read nearly as much as she sup- posed, having exceeded the hundred by a few volumes only. although when this number was regarded as on av- erage of two books a week it did not seem so small. A young girl, called by her friends a great reader, kept account for a year of the books she read, putting them down in a small blank book, numbering each and marking with a star anything read for the second time. At the end of the year she read over the list. and found in it several things to surprise her. He started for Vivien was looking into his face 11 ith a strange expxeSsion in her dark eyes. For halfa minute a weird fancy crossed his mind that an- othei soul was looking at him from he1 eyes. “His death would be the means of saving Lancewood,” agreed Gerald, “But children of that description seldom die.” he added. “If that child were dead,’ ’she said, "all this would be ended. The power and the rule of that false, cunning woman, would be over and Lancewood saved. I do not wish to hurt himâ€"but oh, if he'were to die, how changed it would all be!” Vivien leoked after him with flash- ing eyes. A sudden, almost intoler- able sense of her wrong came over her. She thought of what she would have done for Lancewoodâ€"how she had loved it. and lived for it. She thought of her love, crushed down and well- nigh hopelessâ€"of her vain attempts to preserve the stainless honor of her name. She gazed down the long vista ed home, a by-word in the country, a scene of low dissipationâ€"she saw it disgraced, dismantled, its glory faded, ruined far more cruelly than if its walls had been blackened by fire. She clasped her hands with a cry of pain, All the pride of her nature rose in hot rebellion. She would have periled her life in that one moment to save Lance- wood. She was beside herself with anger, with pride, with despair. "You must mind, Oswald, that you do not offer to boat a man so, or he might hurt you,” she said; and. as she walked away with the count obsequi- ously bowing by her side, the two witnesses of the little scene looked at each other. He lay down on the ground, resist- ing, struggling, striking out violent- ly. He was finally overpowered and carried off amidst violent shrieks and cries. They had not time to exchange a word before the head-nurse came. It was Sir Oswald’s bedtime. "Is it 8” said the child. “You may take me if you can.” Lady Neslie turned away with a light laugh.
