They find me a fei^ minutes later, Mrs. Rutherfurd having scfat them all to searoh for me, alarmed by my non-«ppeeraaae at luncheon. At first they think I am dead, but the Doctor, who is sent for immediately, pronounces it to be a fainting-fit only, prob- ably brought on by the heat of the sun. I do not rave at all, cr betray my miserable secret in any way as I return to oonsdons- oeas, and I am glad of it. But I will not have Judith near me, which surprises Mrs. Rutherfurd, or would have surprised her if she had not accounted for it by the disorder of my brain. Neither will I remain a single hour longer than I can help at Yelfry. Mrs. Rutherfurd is exceedingly anxious that I should stay quietly in my own r*om thdre for the next day er two at least, prom- ising that no one shall come near me but herself. But I will not have the cairlage countermanded, and Mrs Rutherfurd is afraid to thwart me. Before five o clock I am lying in my own bed at Osierbrook, with the curtains drawn and anut Theodoaia sit- ting silently knitting in the big old'f ashion- ed arm-chair at the foot of the bed. Here I can weep and weep and weep, and no one be the wiser, t ere I can groan deep in my misery, for deiur old annt Theodosia is too deaf to hear. Judith has had her revenge on Mrs. Rutherfurd but she has broken my heart • • •'• • • • It is three months before I leave that bed again â€" during some of that time a great many people thought I should never leave it again alive. But youth and a good con- stitution pulled me throughâ€" that and the oara those four good women bestowed on the graoebss child Who had defied them when she was strong and well. Thfy never grow wsary, tiiey are never Impatient they bear with meas my own might-^they seem to me like angels, with- «ted and eld and homely as they are, when t^eiy bend over me through the long weary night-watches, putting oool bandages on my hot miserable forehead, lumps of cold deli- cious ice on my parched tongue. They are always there, one or other of them in the dead of the night I see them, ritting in the big chidr, the candles throwing their shad- ows grotesquely upon the opposite wall, their spectacles on their noses, their Bibles open on their kn«»es, their placid old faces so calm and peaceful, shedding an answer- ing peace into my soul. If I get well, I will be good to them al- ^rays ^nevar laugh at them, never call them odd, or old, or ugly, never disobey them in thought or word or deed. If I get well But if I do not If I die â€" I, Lisle Warburtonâ€" if I die, and am put in- to a coffin and buried beside my mother in the sbady old church-yard on the hill I I think perhaps tiiat will be betterâ€" better even tian to live to show my gratitude to my aunts.

I do not ask another question, nor does aunt^Auchoretta allude to her letter any more, so completely has my old love- dream faded away â€" so completely have I forgotten the lover whose " Honour, rooted in dlahononr, stood, Whoaftlaith, uofstithfol, kept him falrely true.' «â-  t « ... " What brings Ralph Rutherfurd- here so often r It is aunt Theodosia who asks the ques- tion. And she asks it of me, looking at me over the edge of the wheelbarrow as she stoops to gather up the pile of weeds she has raked together on the garden walk. " How should I know, aunt Theodeda " " I thought you might, that was all 1" Do I know I stand by the wheelbarrow, looking down dreamily at the olean-swept path. It is just a year slnoe I eame te Osier- brook â€" a yfar this very day. The May sun- shine lies warm on aunt Theodosia's flower- beds, on the overblown evening primroses, on the budding lily-of-the-valley. I have got on a fresh brown linen gown, prettily made, with Mg pearl buttons, and a Zulu hat. My hair has grown again but tnly into a crop of babyish short curls. Audi feel qtiite strong and well again, oad have grown brown and sunburnt, riding my pony over the breezy hills and through the long green winding lanes but, though my wings that were clipped have grown again, I never feel in the least inclined to fly away. I love Odierbrookâ€" the peace, the serene quiet, the quaint, formal, sunny days, the sweet calm nights through which I sleep so soundly, tired by the loving attendance to give which is the one great object of my life. Those feeble hands shall do nothing that mice can do instead those faltering steps shall al- ways be steiidied by my strong young arm. They may be peevish sometimes, and ob- stinate, and apt to think thdr own old wa^ the bert but I can bear with themâ€" no Bharp word shall ever pass my lips, no slight hint that their monotonous, oftm-repeated stories are not as fresh and deli^tfnl to me as the very newest number of my favourite •• monthly " no yawn shall betray how their late hours weaiy me, no nnile show that I am conscious of the quaint mistakes they make, or their still qnaiater oorreotioa o! eaoh other.

THKKND. â-  â- â- â-  â-  Degeneration of the Arteries* The arteries convey the blood from the heart to every part of the body. They are not passive tubes, but hive a repalsive ac- tion of there own whereby they aid that of the heart. They consist of three coats, be- sides au enclosing sheath. The middle coat consists of elastic muscular rings, by the contraction and dilatation of which the vesseU are successively narrowed and en- larged. The nerves regulate their action. It will be seen that a healthy condition of the arteries b of prime importance. But the arteries may become diseased. One of their most frequent and serious diseases b a peculiar degeneration of their inner coat. It shows itself at first in thick- ened patches, causing a bulging toward the interiorâ€" the result of some inflammatory action. Later these patches soften and become paste like, whence the name of the disease, o^Aeroma, from a Greek word siKoifying "meal." Thb pasty mass may be washed out into/this blood or it may be- oeme calcified, and studded witii little hard points extending into the blood ourrent. These atheromatous patches may be of dif- ferent sizes, vary much in number and be oonfined to a few arteries, or be extenidvely diffused. Where the inner coat b thus destroyed, the weakened vessel, under the arteru pressure, may swell out into pouches (aa- eurisms), or may even burst. When the patch becomiss calcified, the blood, flowing against the jutting points, may form fibrin- ous clots, just as we may form them by stir- ring blood in a vessel with a st'ok. Thb fib- rin may fill up an artery, and shut off the flow of blood to a part. Thb b one of the oaus-s of senile gangrene â€" ^tke death of, per- haps, the foot in an old man. Or bits of the clot may be carried to remote small art- eries, say ot the brain, and cause embolism (a plugging), witii fatal consequences. These atheromatous changes may also cause sof telling of the bndn, by merely re- tarding die flow of blood to It, and thus in- ^rflHag with its -nutiMan, and may cause enbargamisut of the heart -^the leffeventricb â€"by the greater labor imposed on it. The oaloificatlon of the coronary artery b one cause of angina peotwis. Intemperate habits, violent exertions, gout, excessive anxbty and mental bbw are some of its cauaesy and these also sag- gert the habits which tend to prevent the disease.

A singular pr6t of the old proverb, "Mur- der will out," u given in a suit before the English House of Peers for possession ot the ':itle and estates of the Barony of Lovat. The suit u on behalf of an .engineer in the mines of Caernarvon, and the story brought to light by him begins two centuries ago. The famous Simon Fraser, when the Bar- on Lovat of that day died without issue, knew th..t the rightful heir was a hot-head- ed young cousin of his own, Alexander Fraser. Simon brought forth a false charge of murder against him, and the lad fled to Caernarvon, and there became a miner. Simon ttien assumed the titie of Lord Lo- vat, and took possession of the estates. The daughter tf the late Lord Lovat, Amelia, was at the time on the eve of marriage with a young nobleman. She claimed to be the chief of her father's clan, and ^heir to the estates. Simon Fraser, with^a body of hb retainers, took the young bridegroom prison- er, dragged him to the foot of a gibbet, and forced him to take an oath never to claim the hand of the heiress of Lovat. Simon then kidnapped the young lady himself, intending to make her his wife, but with the help of her maid, she esoaped to the mountains. Determined to have some claim to the Lovat property, he made the mother of AmeUahu prboner in her own caatie, and surrounding her with armed men, bagpipes blowing, and inkes and hal- berds pointed at her^breast, compelled her to marry him. For, thb outrage he was sentenced to. death, a sentence which never was revoked but hb power and keen wit kept him safe during a long life, which he spent in per- petual treaonery. He betrayed the Englbh to the French, and the French to the Eng- lish he professed devotion to the House of Hanover, while 1^ was supporting the ex- iled Stuarts. Hbname was the synonym for traitor for seventy years. At last he drove hb son, a qidet, thnid boy of nineteen, into the field, with the Pretender at the head of hb clan, and made haato to oomjAain of the lad to the Oovem- ment, ,and to swear to hb own fidsKty. The boy, however, was. pardoned, whib Lord Lovat at tbe age of eighty was beheaded. After hb death, a rtarving woman was dis- covered in a dungeon in lib castle, who pr**ed to be hb wif e,wbom he hod iininrison- ed there for ten years. Now, after two cmturies, the lidr ol Alex- a^ider Fraser, the miner, whom he robbed of hb titb and estotes, oomee forward, to prow the guHt of the usurper oad hb owa cbim to the peerage, " Jartiee b slow," MoUetkaa death.
