"Or a lettcer," mused Hal. "No, sir," said George, respectfully; "not a« letterâ€"that‘s dangerousâ€"gets left about or misearries. Let it be a mesâ€" sage, sir; I‘ll give it to the young lady, never fear, Master Hal." z"Right," said _ Hal, and the curt *"right" meant volumes. "Tell her, then, that I must see her, and soon, and that I will go or come anywhere, any time, ‘to speak a word with her. I must see her, mind!" George nodded, and tightened his lips. "She shall have them exact words of yours, Master Hal, before we‘re many hour older; the exact words, Anything else, sirâ€"anything that may «show 1 come from you, and ain‘t on the other side*" "That‘s enough for me, Master THalâ€" & word from you is enough!" with a flash of the eyes; then he laid his hard on Hal‘s arm and drew him â€" back! "There‘s the count, sir! going up to the courtyard. Now‘s my time, Master Hal. Go along with him, sir, and let him see Astounded and somewhat confused bly the unsuspected display of George‘s talâ€" ent for conspiracy, Hal was wise enough to do as he was bidden, and made for ‘the courtâ€"yard. f o "A fine place this, my lord," says Mr. HLambton, looking around with awe and xtelight. "A regular foreign castle, someâ€" ‘thing like the one in England, marquis, (Bbut what you might call heavier. _ And Rere‘s Mr. Fitzjamesâ€"I mean Lord Lane. ‘How do you do?â€"delighted to see you, my lord." The count is profuse in his thanks, profuse to the point of gratitude, and actually slips his arm through Hal‘s, and so they go up the hall to the drawingâ€" room, whence issue the wellâ€"known voices «of Maud and (eorgina, both talking at ‘once in the oldâ€"old style. P to the park. "You‘lt find us plain and homeâ€"like folk, Count Mikof{, but we‘ll give you a bearty welcome, and try and make you eomfortable. Oh, here‘s Mr. Vane, I mean the marquis, and how do you do, my lord? A lucky thing for us that the Lady Jeanne and Mr. Hal should run up against us in that confounded teaâ€" garden." "Papa!" ejaculates Maud, "teaâ€"garden." "Very much like one, my dear, anyâ€" .how. ‘And how do you find yourself? ‘You don‘t look quite up to the mark. ‘Ah, nothing like old England, as I tell the countâ€"reâ€"markâ€"able man, ch, my Jord*" he says in a sharp whisper. Vane, with his grave smile, looks sround, and shakes hands, glancing, as the does, at Jeanneâ€"Jeanne, so slim and ‘graceful, and altogether lovely. He does mot shake hands with her, but he might ‘«s consistently do so, for she is as much ‘s stranger to him.. i is 36 "Yes; here, take this!" said Hal, and, with a sudden flush, he drew a withered eamelia from â€" somewhere under _ his waistcoat. "You are a sharp feliow, George." C "I bave had the unhappiness to miss Lady Ferndale‘s visit, and I have brought a message from the princess, who is, alas, a sufferer from that too universal ill, a nervous headache." _i':;u’re safe at homeâ€"go on, sir, and ve the other part to me," and, inâ€" stantly resuming hbis usually respectful manner, be touched hbis cap and saunâ€" tered off. “Perhaps' be‘s brought the challenge himself," he thought. "If he has, I‘ll fight him on the spot, if he likes, confound him." But once more Hal was doomed to bitter disapgointment. All smiles and politeness, the count held out his hand with his courtly bow. As he says this, he keeps his eyes on Hal with the gentlest smile, and Hal,â€" well, while longing t~ knock him down, he is obliged to mutter the usual courâ€" tesios. _ If anything was wanting to complete Maud and Ceorgina‘s happiness, the presâ€" ence of a Russian count would supply it. "I am intruding," says the count, hesiâ€" tating at the door, but Hal leads himâ€" almost shoves himâ€"in and introduces him. Before five minutes have elapsed the count is the centre of an attentive group, literally basking in his charming manâ€" ner. Mrs. Lambton has remained in her room to rest, but Mr. Lambton, in his tweed suit, and mock old English genâ€" tleman air, is amazingly polite with the count. and before five minutes have "My sister is in the castle somewhere," he says. "I‘ll help you find her." _ _ PM TT â€" P wa+ yEX F/ y s C i tovs 47 /4 Jr x .4 Nip Xod‘| ";,»c- ht f ial \A & F % U ao + T f s tfi s j A ty C s y3 s fve P ) c m h 4 ya y a x in [ 2P 5 7. yc & JaS E 4 Lsnd ed e=l & » K ilcad WY J 7 ye j ghe na 6@ â€" s t ¢ ES p w c 44B C : y Fione P04 s m srr y PEA FeliFal? ::."\.‘ MV Wbows wl >A; o uotJ is e "Tll do has given him an invitation it, 3‘;'_8'5“1' Hal," said Gcorge,; Clarence comes in, looking anything a2 "*"*"!

"Depend upon it, girls," he said, in the privacy of their own apartments, "the higher you go in the social scale, t ehmore natural and simple you find ‘em. It‘s a mistaken notion to suppose that the qucen sits down to dinner every day in the crown and coronation robes, and I‘m begining to think that these swells are pretty much like everybody else !" and Mr. Lambton never made a truer or shrewder remark. EPC PRMOTMCD CCR O TPUT ucuéuv- ‘"Neighbors of yours, Mr. Bertram ? says the count, going up to where Hal, leaning against the window, watches the comedy in profound silence. "Yes," says Hal. "A charming specimen of the old Engâ€" lish gentieman, ch ?" says the count. Hal stares. "You‘re wrong for once," he says. "Mr. Lambton is a gentleman, no doubt, and English, and a jolly good fellow, but he‘s not what you thinkâ€"although he could buy up many of the real thing." But the count does not take offense, although Hal‘s tone too plainly infers that he, the covuat, is a fortuneâ€"hunter ; he merely shrugs his shoulders, murmurs ‘"no," displays his wrinkles, and goes back to Maud. But if the Lambtons seem particularâ€" ly impressed by any one of the aristoâ€" crats, it is by the count, and the count returns the compliment, his keen little gray eyos are glittering as the huge diamonds in Mr. Lambton‘s shirt front, and his face screwed up into a smile, bland and affable as only a Russian can be. "Perhaps. I don‘t go in for heiresses myself," says Hal, with red spots on his cheeks. Hal, as he leaned against the window, watching this swell, and listening to the perfect and polished English, fallâ€" ing slowly and slowly from the thin and carefully rouged lips, suffered from such an intense longing to seize the little carefullyâ€"dressed figure and fling it on the lawn, that he was obliged to thrust his hands deep into his pockets, and keep them there by a strong effort of restraint. "Rich, wealthy, eh ?" says the count, smiling. Hal nods eurtly. "Rich as Croesus," he says, "And his family *" "You see ‘em," says Hal ; "there‘s no more." 7 "Inâ€"deed," murmuts the count, with his sweetest smile. _ "What prizes for some fortunate compatriots !" _ _ This may certainly be considered the happiest moment of Maud and Georgina‘s lives, to say nothing of Mr. Lambton‘s. In that gentleman‘s eyes, a lord was a being something more than human, something to make much of, to worship and to gloat over, and here they were as thick as currants in a Christmas pudding, and all as affable, as he reâ€" marked afterward, as if they were mere nobodies. and asked me where I‘d been.â€" He‘s coming down the yard now ; let‘s talk about the horse, sir _ Yes, he wants some beans, sir, and he shall have ‘em ; Presently. before he knew it, the count had transferred his smile to himâ€" self, and, also, without his being scarcely aware of it, Hal is giving him parâ€" ticulars of the Lambton menage. "Rich, is he not, your friend ?" asks the count, coaxing his moustache with his scented handkerchicf. "Rich asâ€"Pluto ; the richest man in the countryâ€"bar none." "And no sons, you say ?" remarks the count. "Only those charming dauâ€" ghters. Ah, yes, very charming ! Quite examples of the amiable and cultured English." . "Ah, you flatter me" says his excelâ€" lency, with a bow which so exasperates Hal that he is compelled to dart out of the window into the open air. The count looks after him with a smile and Hal follows him into the stable, where George has commenced rubbing down .lonn,andfivuventtotho.umllim- uatient "Well * "Halfâ€"aâ€"minute, sir," â€" sa George, mbbing away for dear li(:.. "One o‘ those German chaps saw me coming in "You think so, do you ?" says Hal, pugnaciously. "All right." â€" â€" â€" _ _"Do you mean "yes or no," asks the count, with a goodâ€"ni@tured smile. "I ask pardon : my English is so imperfect." "Oh, come," says Hal, sullenly, "you speak English like a nativeâ€"and better than nine out of ten Englishmen I know, count." a little shrug of the shoulders, and reâ€" turns to the ladics, among whose voices Hal hears his soft one chiming in melâ€" odiously. _ dn Once on the terrace, Hal cannot keep his feet from the direction of the stable jard, and, having lighted a huge cigar, g:c sits down on the wheelâ€"barrow, and waits, impatiently chafing. â€" it He has not to wait long,for presently George comes sauntering in as if he had been nowhere in particular, and touches his hat to Hal, as if he had not seen him before that morning. _ . _ CHAPTER XXXIV. 48 "Did you see the princess?" breaks in Hal, searcely _restr“m_ning. lus anxiety. George nods with quiet satisfaction but evidently has made up his mind to tell his story in his own way. "aes "First I went to the stables, and 1 hung about Master Hal, aâ€"praising the caochman‘s harnessâ€"polishâ€"which is the beastiiest stuifâ€"am{’ says, quite promisâ€" cuous like: ‘Is her highness been down this morning? and he says: ‘Yes, and gone half an hour ago.‘ This put me out. Master Hal, for I reckoned to catch her, it being just her time; and I didn‘t know what to do. ~But at that moment, while I was sitting there admiring the beastly polish, in comes the gardener, and I fell to admiring his flowers, and he was so pleased that he asked me to walk around, which we did; but I didn‘t noâ€" tice the flowers much, Master Ha.lâ€"â€"m‘f' eyes went around like sails in a windâ€" mill, but there wasn‘t a glimpse of her highness to be got. Presently the garâ€" dener looks around ,too. ‘If f-’was sure the princess wasn‘t about," lRe says, ‘I‘d show you her own glass house; there‘s w«hile worthy were dressi mmu,unmmmflfi wmum and and Maud were chattering away n their room over the agreeable qualities :uth:nblcmn,Nottumt:eMbeen of hi to princess, uv-'ypmm the two girls would -thnh--yoinpmud; indeed, some flowers there as ‘ud do your heart Herre Shorshe‘â€"that‘s what he calls ‘George, Master Hal! _ Seeing nobody about, he takes me in at last; just as he eloses the door, I catch sight of a lady‘s frock. "The gardener, he pulls u%, and tugs at me to draw me out again, but I pretend that I don‘t understand; and presently the princess comes slowly down the conâ€" servatory and sees us. _ The gardener pulls off his hat, and I pulls off mine, and he begins to stammer an excuseâ€" says I‘m fond of flowers, I suppose, for the princess, bless her sweet heart, smiles in a sad kind of way, and says; ‘Do not go; I like people who love flowâ€" ers!‘ she did, Master Hal, as true as I stand here; and smiled as if I were an old friend. Not an ounce of pride, nor nothing of that sort. And then she walks on, with me all of a trembleâ€"for a prinâ€" cess is a princess, after all, Master Halâ€" and I didn‘t know how to get my mesâ€" age outâ€"it seemed to stick in my throat, for all she looked so young and kind like. But I plucked up courage at last, and, just as she was turning to go, I went to open the door for her ,and I says, quite lowâ€"which there wasn‘t any occasion for, seeing the gardener didn‘t understand English, excepting you speak it out loud and slowâ€"I says: ‘I‘m come from Master Hal, your highness.‘" George stops for want of breath, and wipes the perspiration from his forehead. Hal, biting at his cigar furiously, with his eyes fixed on the man‘s face, draws a long breath. "Go onâ€"go on!" "Well, Master Hal, it was just as if I had told her the world was going to end; she turned as white as snow, and her hand dropped to her side; then she raised her eyes and looked at me so, that I was struck dumb for a moment; they scemed to go right through me, soft ang kind as they were. Then I told her, word for word, Master Hal, and waited." "Wellâ€"wellâ€"well?" "‘You are‘ Mr. Bertram‘s servant, yes?" she said, so low and quiet like. Then I pulled out the flower without a word, to show her that it was all right. She wasn‘t pale any longer, Master Hal, and to see the way she looked at that flower was enough toâ€"toâ€"make a man knock that blessed count on the head there and then. ‘Tell Mr. Bertram,‘ she says, with her face all drooped like, "Thank you, my dear," laughed Mr. Lambton. "There‘s a difference between ordirary husbands and a husband that‘s a marquis.â€"â€"" "Not, a bit," said â€" Mrs. Lambton, shrewdly ; "a man can‘t he:r showing his love, if he‘s a king. I‘m always suspicâ€" feous when I see a married man and woâ€" man so stiff and formal; but there, 1 suppose it is besause they‘re so high and grand, and I‘m &l:d you‘re not a marquis, Lambton, if that‘s the effect of Hal sratches at itâ€"very much as the monkeys snatch at biscuits in the Zoo. "Iy tint. all?" he demanded, greedily. "Every word, Master Hal," responds George, solenmly;â€""every syllable, and she was gone and across the lawn like a fairy." 5y Mas: f "that I will be by the large cedar at the end of the garden at 6 o‘clock, and give him this, and she takes this flower from her dress." "George," he says, "you are a good felâ€" low, a good, faithful old chap! You have managed wonderfully, beautifully, and I can‘t say how much I am obliged." "I can‘t really say, sir," replies George, sertaching his head meditatively, "but there seemed an unusual kind 0‘ bustle about the place, in the stables, especially, and when I asked the coachman, he put me off, like, and didn‘t answer straight, as if he‘d had his orders to keep quiet. But don‘t you be afraid, Master Hal; nothing ain‘t going to happen up at the villa without my knowing it. And here‘s the man poking about again; better go now, sir, ‘and so Hal, sensibly following the advice, leaves the stable. If there was a cloud overhanging the King‘s castle, as Bell declared, a casual observer would have needed to be very :lhear-sighted to detect or distinguish its ave. Jeanne was not the girl, nor was Vane the man to wear their hearts upon their sleeves, and if Jeanne looked a little pale and wistful to the Lambtons, they asâ€" eribed the slight change as natural reâ€" sults of the married state; and as for Vane, a siight preâ€"occupation and grayâ€" ity befitted a man of his high Position. Hamiv o Loo d e eE ET _ 99 naid "The marquis‘ responsibilities," _ said Mr. Lambton sighing with a complacent pomposity, " must be simply henormous, And he‘s a great hartist, too, likewise, which alone is enough to make a man look serious." Hal paces up and down, his face workâ€" ing with excitement and passionate deâ€" licht. "All r'ight, Master Hal," says George, flushing up to the roots of his hair; "don‘t say another word; I‘m happy enough for one dayâ€"but, Master Hai, there‘s something elseâ€"I used my eyes, sir, and if something ain‘t up, I‘m a Dutchman." "What do you mean?" asks Hal, anxâ€" iously. 3 oi T plaiiy Goodâ€"hearted and sensible, Mrs. Lambâ€" ton was not so easily satisfied, howâ€" _ "What makes him so polite to Jeanne," she said; "husbands aren‘t, as a ruleâ€"" George falls to at his work as if he badn‘t an idea above polishing harness and grooming horses. ; o; car, Or In &l â€"risk whateve he invonts.o 46« '::5 of Health se and impracticable war ure, but quil there had been no time for any such @emunication, and, in the general bustle, Mal‘s absence had not been noticed, exâ€" cepting by one personâ€"Lady Lucelle, and certainly she did not remark it openâ€" ly, or display any curiosity, until â€" she got to her dressing room, where her maid awaited her. Lady Lucelle‘s eyes were sharp, _ and she saw by the flush on the good lookâ€" ing face, and the light in the dark eyes, that the girl had something to tell, and wes anxious to tell it. It may be stated kere that Marie bore no good will toâ€" ward George; in fact, to put it mildly, she hated him like poisorn. There are two reasons for a woman hating a man; fisst, because he has loved her _ and left her; and, secondly, because he will mot love her at ali. The second whas the reason which produced Marie‘sehatred of George. She had fallen in love with his hkhandsome face, and set her cap against him, and he hadâ€"had simply ignored her; but Marie was not without admirâ€" ers, and among the was one of _ the grooms, the man who had hovered about whwile Hal had been conspiring _ with George in the stable.

The countess was deeply silent for some time; then she said, suddenly: "Don‘t pull my hair out, Marie; but say what you have to say. What is it?" "It is about Master Hal. countess," said Marie. "What about him ?" "There is some plot, some _ wicked scheme on foot, my lady, between him and thatâ€"that scoundrel, George," and Marie‘s pretty white teeth came togethâ€" er with a sharp clink. Lady Lucelle smiled. "You don‘t like that George, Marie? A handsome young fellow, too." "Never mind," interrupted Lady Luâ€" celle. ‘ Tell me about Mr. Bertram." "No, my lady; but toâ€"dayâ€"this afterâ€" noon, he has sent a letter to her." Lady Lucelle smiled. "How do you know that?"

Teething is generally accompanied by nervousness, irritability and stomach disâ€" orders, which may lead to serious conâ€" sequences if not promptly treated. Baby‘s Own Tablets is the best medicine in the world for teething children. They allay the inflammation in the tender, swollen gums, correct the disordered stomach, and help the teeth through painlessly. Mrs. T. Nutt, Raymond, Ont., says: "My baby suffered terrbly while teething, but as soon as I began giving him Baby‘s Own Tablets he improved in every way and is now a bright, healthy child." The Tablets also cure colic, constipation, diarrhoea, indigestion, simple fevers and destroy worms. They are guaranteed to contain not one particle of opiate or harmful drugs, and may be given with equally good results to the new born baby or the well grown child.

The action of the Jersey City Board of Health in insisting that the railroad companies having their terminal in that city shall provide special cars for the conveyance of consumptives seems to us a clear case of phthisisphobia, a case where zeal for public service has outrun discretion and common sense. It is difâ€" ficult to believe that such a requirement cabe based on the advice of skilled and competent medical counsel. In the first place, how and by whom shall it be deâ€" termined that a railroad passenger is & consumptive? Such persons are not orâ€" dinarily labeled, and are naturally averse to making any public declaration of their malady. It is now a generally recogâ€" nized fact, too, that a person may be afficted with tuberculosis in a proâ€" nounced form before any outward and visible symptoms appear such as aig commonly associated with the disease. Many persons, doubtless, have the malâ€" ady in a communicable form for a long time before they are aware of it themâ€" selves. Moreover, it is now an estabâ€" lished fact that consumption is not an epidemic disease in the common acceptâ€" ance of the term. It is not commumcâ€" able by the breath; it is not in "the air." It can be conveyed from one person to anotherâ€"only by means of the sputum "He is odious," declared Marie. He is Blue Ribbon Fragrance TEETHING TROUBLE. (To be continued.) C ol A The following statement regarding crop conditions on the 1st of November, based on results of six hundred correspondents, has been issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture: d 4 hk s Barleyâ€"This crop may be considered as above the average in both yield and quaiâ€" ity. Some fields were more or less injured by rain, but most of the grain was of good color. It was relatively the best cereal crop of the year. _ &; Turnipsâ€"This crop may be classed as a comparative failure. The aphis popularity known as the turnip louse, appeared _ in greater force than for years, and hindered the development of the bulbs, which sevâ€" eral correspondents describe as being small and rooty. _ Clahs) i ; ¢ Spring Wheatâ€"This class of wheat is not so widely known as the fall varieties, but the quality of this season‘s crop is rated by correspondents as from medium to very good, and there are no complaints of the grain being under weight. _ F The New Fall Wheatâ€"The area of new fall wheat is larger than that of last year, taking the Province over, although a fexw counties may show a decrease. Oatsâ€"Oats, ripening later than _ eithar wheat or barley, suffered more than these from rain. There was consequently a good deal of lodging, and a considerable amount of rust was also reported. While the yield per acre is a large one, some of the grain is reported to be light in weight. k _ Ryeâ€"Correspondents have even less than usual to say about ryc, but the crop where grown turned out fairly well. . A Peasâ€"In both yvield and quality, peas are well up to the average. ‘There was comâ€" paratively little injury from the weevil, or "bug,‘"‘ which for some years past has wrought havoc in the Province. The crop suffered more from rain than any othor cause. Fall Wheatâ€"While a majority of corre:â€" pondents describe fall wheat as being of good quality, some speak of the grain as beâ€" ing rather shrunken and light in weight. All the cereals suffered more or less from a few days of exceedingly hot weather durâ€" ing the ripening stage, but most of the inâ€" jury came from heavy rains during the latâ€" ter part of barvesting. Rust in fall whesat was complained of by some correspondents, but very little harm to the crop was reâ€" ported from Hessian fly or other insects. Potatoesâ€"Almost up to the time of digâ€" ging, an immense yield of potatoes . was promised, but rot set in and many corresâ€" pondents report losses from this cause, in both pit and cellar, ranging from 10 to T5 per cent, f 6 a w derivation AECPPUMLETI GORRCRCIO® WR : BL," Allan liners‘ name are drawn !ronl countries or great territories, but must end in "ian," and the Prince line makes ! all of its veksel princes, the Castle line | following suit by naming its boats after the famous castles.

Cattle were reported to be rather thin, but heaithy. More beef aniâ€" mals are on hand than is usual at this time of year, owing to the comparatively low prices offered and the abundance of fodder on hand. Sheep are scarce and in good demand.
