CHAPTER XVII. 1 Dorothy shook off her indisposition quickly; indeed, she seemed to enjoy a walk with her guardian on the two days succeeding her attack of faintness. He bad intended making an attempt to draw from her the secret reason, if any, of the great nervous dread from which she seemed to suffer, but she baffled him by speaking more cheerily than usual on abstract subjects, the only personal matter on which she dwelt was Egerton's intention of going to Spain, which seemed to give her a certain satisfaction. On the third afternoon a few lines from Standish told her that his engagements would not allow of his seeing her till late the following day, so Dorothy went for a brisk walk with the children in Kensington Gardens.
On her return Collins told her that Miss
Onkeley was not at home, so Dorothy
went to take off her ontdoor garments before entering the drawing room. On her war she met Miss Oakeley's maid,
who said her mistress had gone ont again on foot to take some books to the Miss
Bluekburns, some young ladies in the near
neighborhood.
With a comfortable sense or taiigne
Dorothy settled herself to read, bnt found her own thoughts more interesting than
the pages lieforc her.
Presently the door opened anil sue nearu
Collins say:
"If you'll sit down a moment, sir, I will
tell Miss Oakeley."
Dorothywas lost to sight in the cloptns
of a large armchair, and did not perceive
who had come in; bnt, starting up, witn her nsunl dread of meeting any stranger,
she found herself face to face with Eger-
toa.
Both stood quite still, their eyc3 fixed
on each other a determined, sullen look gradually hardening Egerton's face, while
Dorothy s large, thoughtful eyes nameu
ont with such fire as none had ever seen
in them before.
. Egerton was the first to speak. "Had I known you were here, Miss
Wynn, I should not have intruded, as you
seem, from some uuaecouniaoie reason,
to dislike meeting me.
"No," said Dorothy, advancing very slowly a step or two nearer, her whole soul burning with the fiercest hatred against the foe before her, her veins throbbing with a tempest of anger. "No,
I am glad to meet yon, glad to speak to you, so long as there is no one else to hear me:" She spoke deliberately, her
eyes holding his. Bgerton's countenance changed. "I am most ready to lisfcu."
"Yes," she returned, grasping the tip of a high backed chair near her, as if to
steady herself; "you must and shall listen.
Do you remember, she continued, "one
day, not u week before she was murder.
ed, you were talking with Mabel in the veranda, when you nrged ker to leave her husband, and swore you would rather crush out her life than see her live happily with him? I was near the open window,
and heard you." She paused. "Then," exclaimed Egerton, ain a strange, stifled voice, "if yon have a human heart, yon must have some pity for the most miserable of men. Nothing but the dread of the world's references, the world's talk,- the reverence I have for her memory, has kept me from ending an existence that is a curse to me!" "Better yon did than pay the forfeit
dnc to justice," returned Dorothy, with
indescribable menace. "Knowing an do, what has kept me from denouncing you, save my love for her consideration for nw darling's fame? Here, face to
face, I accuse yon of destroying her hap

"For heaven's sake, be merciful! ' You
do -not know what tortures my own con

ing gesture, "yon cannot dream what the madness of a love like mine was!" He began to pace the room in profound agitation. "If she would have listened to me, and left that insensible tyrant, her husband, it would have been but a nine days' wonder, and think of the bliss that awaited us both! I could have made her life
one long, bright dream of joy, a palace of
enchantment!
"Founded on a brave, trne man's broken heart, and the contempt of her own children," added Dorothy. "How dare vou sneak such words to me? Has wick-

"For heaven's sake, e composed, whispered Dorothy in a quick, emnhati-.! whisper. The next moment Henrietta, radiant, exultant, entered, followed by a gentleman, slightly bent, with gray hnlr and mustache and beard of a darker tinge, all wild and untriuimcd, a pair of dark, dull eyes, very quiet and dreamy, his clothes thrown on unbruslied, and a general air of negligence about his apCould this be the well set-up,

Dorothy, still quivering with the cruel bWIj which had shaken her nerves, flew
to embrace Callander as she used in her
school days. "Dorothy! How do yon do, my dear?
said Callander kindly, but by no means
moved. "It seems a long time since we

"And wc have longed for yon to return," said Dorothy, bravely, choking down her tears. "You will want to sec the children, Herbert. They have looked for yon; they are such dears!" "Yes," he said, with a heavy sigh; "I must see them. My little Dolly, my poor boy " "I will bring them," cried Dorothy, hastening to the door, but passing Egerton. who looked stunned, and, it seemed

Then she summoned Mrs. McIIngh to bring the boy, while she herself led Dolly. They were at the door. Dorothy pushed it open. To her infinite relief Egerton was gone. "Go, darling; run to father," she said, loosing the little hand. But Dolly hesitated. To her, the gray-haired gentleman was a total stranger. She looked at Callander, and Callander at her. Then she said, low and soft; "Dolly; .my little Dolly," and held ont his hand. The child went to him, bnt slowly, nn

As he sat thus, his dark eyes woke up from their dull apathy, and looked wildly away, as if at some distant dreadful Object, with a strained, agonized expression, infinitely distressing.

"1 am not sure; he may take the whim any day." Dillon thought for a moment In silence, and Standis-h said: "You did not think the evidence of that sailor, Kitson, of any cousca u ence ?"

"True!" and Standish did nut speak again for a few seconds; then he exclaimed. "I have detained you long enough, aud I ought to dress and go out." "All right.

GUARD THE CHILDREN'S EARS. Bertona flnrm Often Done Through the Carelessness of Parents. A high English medical authority, Sir William Dnlby, has recently written a treatise on the preservation of the bearing, In which lie speaks with strongest tern s of reprobation of the "cruel anil Iniquitous practice of boxing children's ears." Blows on the head of any sort are apt to be permanently Injurious, nnd nny one who hns studied physiology, however superficially, will readily under
stand how easily a violent box on the ear may rupture the ear drum and perhaps produce Incurable deafness. There lire many such cases on record, autl parents who do not understand tlio danger of such chastisement will do woll to take heed and nvold It.
It is more startling to bo told that a drop of lnudanum put into the ear to relieve earache may produce permanent trouble: nevertheless It Is so. Nothing of any sort should lie Injected into the ear except by medical advice. If lnudanum and glycerine are used they should be put oit n bit ot cotton wool, and care must be taken not to put the cotton In too far. The best aurlsts positively forbid syringing the ears, and where it is necessary to cleanse them prescribe surglcnl cotton
twisted on the end of a wire, the wire being carefully covered and the cotton projecting of an inch beyond it. Even then the cotton must bo carefully aud tenderly applied. In case of earache the only safe home
remedy Is a hot water bag, or, better yet, a roasted onion, very hot, done up first In newspaper and then in flannel and applied ou the outside over tho ear. In bathing, especially lu the surf, cotton wool should lie put Into the ears, otherwise a sudden nnd violent influx of water may dl si-rious harm. Philadelphia Times.

Persons Who Walk on Their Toes
Fond of Sport and Sentiment.
"In twenty-three years of constant walking ubout the streets on my rounds
of duty," remarked an observant policeman, "I thlnl; I have picked up a few Ideas about people and things generally, nud 1 have come to the conclu
sion that the character of a person can
be rend pretty well by his manner of walking; that their habits nnd disposition are marked very clearly by the way they appear on the streets. A careless person, man or woman; n slouch or sloven, walks that way, while those who have nspirat Ions or energy will Indicate it iu the way they get about. A fira, determined ierson Is likely to be firm and determined in his or her walk, likewise the fop. the flirt and the person whose greatest stock Is shown gives evidence of it In many of their street movements. In the case ol the determined, energetic, the people who get there, as It were, thir walk Is marked by rapid, long steps, which arc the same under all circumstances, while the fops and flirts change the Btvle of their walk to suit the prevail
ing weather. One hour they will walk
one way and the next Hour tnoir manner of walking will bo entirely different, nnd .11 times uncertain aud unre

liable to be easy nnd graceful in every
thing else they do. I don't think I

manuer of walking or whose every step

anything else. They are naturally j
sneaks and delicleiit in character gener

mit their wrongdoing In a sneaking sort of way and are never bold and open
about It. A heel walker Is generally a solid kind of a character, while those who do the most of their walking on the forward part of their feet are fond of sport and Inclined strongly toward the sentimental things In life. The springy walkers arc the happy people, but are not strong mentally. The proud men or women walk In a way that hears out their dispositions. I don't
think I ever knew of a thief or habitual wrongdoer of any kind that stood
straight upon his feet. The best times to studv the character of people by the way they walk Is at right. You can then get your Impressions from what

Tbo Queen and Her Daughter. Queen Willielmlna, of Holland, was ever of an Independent and high-spirited nature, aud, as a child, was not always easy to manage. The person to
whom she submitted (generally) with grace, and whom she avoided displeasing, was her English governess. The magic Influence of this lady has been attributed to the judicious useof the word
"dnrling"-iu English. When Willielmlna was obstreperous and was addressed in sorrowful tones as "darling," she was generally charmed to obedience. She always kept the notion of belug queen constantly In mind, and when opposed In nny way would murmur, "Ah, when I am queen, thou I shall bo mistress." Many delightful stories are afloat about the girl's pride, which the QueenHegent Emma often found It necessary to check. Here Is one of tbt'in.

Unless Callander was absolutely in

under his sudden nun extraordinary enmity against himself, and, seek ns In.' might In all the holes and coiners of his
memory, Standish could not hud the faintest shadow of a cause, even for fancied offense. Then, although not a little ashamed of giving heed to the whims of a young crentnre like Dorothy, he could
not quite steel his mind against the effect of her profound dislike nnd distrust of Egerton. What could have roused it? It was provoking of her not to confess all her reasons, if she had any, to him. Finally, that somewhat tricky fellow Dillon was playing "fnst and loose" with him in un audacious manner. At any rate, he would bring him to liook at once.
