CHAPTER XIX. "Lady Beatrice Selwyn will visit tho iohool." Those words rang in the ears of the sad, gentle lady, the mistress ot the little girls who regarded Lnily Beatrice with such awe. How wns she to meet her? what wit ahe to siiy? was her disgnise complete? She went up to her own ronm before she entered the school next morning and took a keen, critical surrey of her pale face. She was woman enough to feel pleased that such fair, tranquil licanty still lingered there. One or two golden hairs had strayed from underneath the black front and the widow's cap; site hastily cut them off. No; it was impossible, she thought, that anyone could recognize her. All that remained of the fair nnd lovely T.ndy Viotante was (he pathetic beauty of the large violet eyes; even those were disguised by the darkened brows. "If Dr. Henrnc did not know me. I need not fear Beatrice," she thought: "lie liked and she hated inc liking is quicker

than hate!"

She went into the school room then.

Great patches of golden sunshine lay

athwart the white floor; the long windows were open, and the perfumed air enme io sweet and odorous gusts. The children were all assembled fair-faced girls, with quick eyes and nimble fingers. A certain nameless restlessness went through them all; it was known that Lady Selwyu was

coming to the school that day.

Then there was a stir among the chil

dren, a murmur of excitement; nnd one

girl older than the rest came up ;o ber,

dropping a courtesy.

"If yon please, ma'am," she said, "here

is my Lady Selwyn. Then a tall, stately lady, clad in sweep

ing robes of silk and velvet, stood before her a lady whose proud, regal beauty

dazzled those who gazed upon her. The

haughty lips wore a pleased smile: the dark, lustrous eyes a calm, satisfied ex

pression. She swept, with the carriage of

a queen, through the garden into the bright, sunshiny room, "I hope I have not interrupted you." said Lady Beatrice to Mrs. Mirers. "I

am an early visitor this morning. I have

been driving to the railway station, and have called on my return."

There was no reply. Mrs. Rivers made

a low bow, nnd Lady Beatrice continued: "I will just look round among tbe chil

dren, Mrs. Rivers, and then, if yon please, I will see you in the cottage."

Nay, not one word to hTe saved her

whole life could she have uttered. She

tried, but her parched lips seemed glued together. My lady was overcome, and she most devoutly believed that it was

the effect of her own angnst presence, n

conviction that made ber unusually gracious and affable.

My lady swept down the room, her

fostly silk and velvet trailing after her. Mrs. Rivers -followed her, still with silent

lips and tightly clinched hands. Through the garden, where the crimson leaves lay on the broad path, to the little cottage, where the woodbines hung iu full flower.

She entered first, and the white-faced

woman behind . her gathered all her strength together.

My lady seated . herself on the little

touch, the gray silk and rich velvet fol

lowing around her.

Be seated, Mrs. Hirers, she said.

"Ton do not look strong. I hope you are

well, and like yonr now home. Ton are a widow, I beiieve?" said Lady Beatrice, looking at the close cap.

T have lost my husband and my son,

was the quiet reply; by this time tho vio

let eyes were raised calmly and searchingly to the lady's face.

'Dear me, was the conventional reply;

how very sad. You are glad, perhaps,

of a quiet life after a great soirow .'" said

my lady, after a'shbrt pause.

My sorrow has been and is R very

heavy one," replied the quiet voice.

Are you a stranger in this part of the

aonntry?" asked Lady Beatrice.

I have been living for some few years

it Shepton," said Mrs. Rivers.

I hope you will make yourself happy.

shall send yon fruit and flowers from

the Hall; I hare been in the habit of doing so. Are you fond of reading?"

It is my only pleasure, said the gov

erness; "I have no other."

"We have so many books ot tbe Hall."

continued Lady Beatrice: "you can have

what yon will from the library. I sent down a few; have you looked over them yet?"

'I have not had time," said Mrs. Rivers,

going to the little bookcase. "These are very nice and useful. I thank your lady-1 hip very much for the kind thought."

The voice was gentle enough, the words

were humble, yet Lady Beatrice thought

to herself:

"How stiff and nnmoved she is." Suddenly Mrs. Hirers saw the volnme

of Wordsworth; in one instant she recognized it. She remembered the very after

noon when Lord Selwyn had given it to her. What did it h-? Lady Beatrice j saw it in her hands. "Do you like Wordswdrth?" she asked, condescendingly. I But Mrs. Rivers did not appear to hare

heard the question. She had opened the book, and was looking at the title page. "To my dearest Vioinnte; from her devoted husband, Virinn Selwyn." Heaven be merciful that the sight, of the handwriting and the words did not lay ber. Lady Beatrice glanced nt it. "No," she replied, carelessly nnd untruthfully, "Lord Selwyn sent it v,ith.tho others." Mrs. Rivers repressed the cry of anguish that rose to her lip. Iid he love her memory so little that lie gave to his dependents tho gifts that Ji:id been hers? "Come for books when yon want more," laid Lady Beatrice. "I hare rnmc notion of founding a library for the use of the villagers; if so, Mrs. Rivers, I shall he pleased to put it under your care. Hemember, at any time and in any dilliculty, you must apply to me.' She rose arid stood, so tall and stately, that the little room seemed too small for her. "I am rery pleased to hare seen yon. Mrs. Rivers," she said, grneintisiy, "Master Rupert Selwyn will lie riding )nst the school to-day, and he will bring you the rules I was speaking about. I wish you good-morn ins'." "Good-morning, Lndy Selwyn," murmured the vthite lips, and a cry from the bleeding heart went up to Hen ven belter any anguish, aay death, than this! Sne was gone, the beautiful, stately lady; but the rich perfume of her garments still lihgored'in the room. With trembling hinds Mrs. Risers raised tin; "Wordsworth" she opened it, and tore out the title page that bore her name. "No ono else shall see how little ' he cares for my memory," she said, 'lie might have cared for my hooks." Despite her heroism and her sort-naeri-Bce, ahe was but a woman that one little instance of his Indifference hurt her more than his marriage had ddne. She laid her tired head down upon the table and wept, hot, bitter tears.

CHAPTER XX. Picture a long, winding road, bordered on either side by tall trees, with overhanging branches, the hedges brilliant with wild rose and woodbine, with climbing foxglove and strawberry blossom, tbe thick, leafy branches meeting in some places, twining their giant c rms so as to form shady arch, tbe sunlight falling through and casting quaint, graceful

badowa oa tbe ground Then Uircugl'

the sunlit foliage, under the moving boughs of the tall trees, a handsome youth, with eager eyes and clustering hair, rides nluwly along, looking sometimes at the sky above him. and sometimes at the blooming flowers. A gallant, princely boy, with the face of a cavalier, nnd the frauk, grand smile of a crowned king. As he comes riding over the Rhadows under the trees, the watcher by the gate sees him at last, and heaven is merciful to her that the sight does not strike ber dead. Then a great mist came before her eyes and dazzled her, a mighty sound as of rushing wntrrs filled her ears, a torrent of love rushed thtnngh her heart, making her tremble like a leaf in the wind, for be had stopped at the gate, and was speaking to her. She looked at him helplessly: her lips parted, but were dumb; her eager, yearning eyes were fixed on his face: her white, nervous hands clutched nt the bar of the

gate. "I most steady myself," she thought. "I must remember by my own act 1 am dead." "Hood morning, Mrs. Rivers." a cheery, rich voice was saying: "Lady Beatrice asked me to call and give you these." Her own son heavevi help her! her only child! She longed with desperate longing to fling herself under the horse's feet and let hiin ride over her, leaving her dead. He flung the reins aside and dismounted. "I will fasten my pony to the gate," he said, "and come inside, if you will allow me, Mrs. Rivers. It is very warm, and I have ridden fast." Ah! if she could but speak to him! If she might but cry out: "Rupert, I am your mother! I am Violante Selwy.'j!" But the white, parted lips were still dumb. He. looking at ber. thought her strange, sad and quiet: but the widow's cap sad the mourning dress accounted for that. "Yon will not spoil mo as Mrs. Browne did, I hope," said the laughing voice. "She used to make such grand lemonade for these warm days." "I I will give yon anything I haY, she said with trembling energy. ' He looked at her with little surprise. "(Jood and kind, but nervous," was nil mental comment. "Will you really come into my house?" she asked faintly, seeing that be went toward the door. "That T will, with many thanks for the shelter," be said, leading the way into the pretty little parlor, where Lady Beatrice had sat so lately. "I am so glad of a rest," said the boy. throwing himself on the couch. "It is awfully hot, Mrs. Rivers: how cool you look here. I should like a glass of water." "Xay." she said softly: "I haTC something nicer than that fir you." And she ran to the basket, loaded with fruit, that Lady Beatrice bad sent. Her hands trembled as she took from it a bunch of purple grapes, and a sunny, blooming peach. She laid them on a plate, covered a small tray with a dainty white cloth and took it to him. "How kind you are," he said eagerly;

"tint 1 am roumng yon. "No, no." she told his hastily. It was a thousand times mury pleasure to her that he should en;.oy them. And enjoy them I v did. She sat down near, where she ciuld watch him eating the luscious grapes. How her heart yenrtird to him, her fingers tingled to touch the bonny head, with its clustering curls, her lips burned to touch his face once only just once. She hovered round him, she stood near him: she could not feast her eyes enough on thnt frank, handsome face: nil her soul was in her eyes and on her lips. "These nrc nice," he said. "To tell the plain truth, Mrs. Rivers, I do not get many grapes at home. Lady Beatrice thinks boys should be brought up like young Spartans." "Lady Beatrice?" she repeated. "Yes," he continued; "my father's wife. You know Lady Selwyn is not my mother.' he added eagerly. "Not your mother!" gasped the while lips. "Oh. no," he replied: "my own mother

is dead. She was killed in a railway accident at Sedi, in Italy. My mother was as beautiful as an angel, Mrs. Rivers."

She murmured some reply; she never

knew what..

"Yes," he continued decisively; "she

was just as beautiful as an angel. I remember her face quite well. 1 used tn dream of it for years; I dream of it now. Such loving eyes, sueh sweet lips, nnd she used to kiss me so. She used to hold me in her arms, and kiss me as tho.igh her heart was breaking. I do miss my mother."

The handsome face grew sad, and the

clear eyes filled with tears.

No one is quite like your own mother,"

he said: "and mine loved me. My father often tells me how she used to teach me, and fear for me; how she always longed to see me a good nnd great man. 8o I mean to he. My mother is among the

angels: but she shall see how I loved her." She can bear no more: she is weeping wildly now. kneeling nt the foot of the little couch, her whole figure shaken with deep-drawn bitter sobs, and he is standing over her in deep nmnze. "Whnt is tbe marter, Mrs. Rivers? what is wrong?" By an effort so violent that it almost killed her, she controlled herself nnd rose. "I am ashamed," she said, "of giving way so; but I bad n son once, nnd I lost him you made me think of him." "You have lost n son, and I a mother," he said. "Which is the greater trouble of the two?" "Mine," she said softly. "Shall you come to see me often, Master Rupert?" ' "Yes," he said. "1 always liked coming tn see Mrs. Browne, and I shall be just as please"" to see yon. Whenever my father in away, and Lndy Beatrice is in one of her 'hn-nors,' as the servants call them.' I like to ride over here. My lady used to think a sound box on tho ears a remedy for every fault I had. My father, however, did not agree with her," "I should say not," she cried indignantly. He laughed jgain. "A woman's band could never hurt sae," he said proudly. "Good morning, Mrs. Rivers. 1 will come again often, if you will let me." "Come when you will," she said; and then tiieir eyes met. The boy started. "Who on earth are yon like, Mrs. Rivers?" he cried. "I have seen you before, 1 am sure; or else tome one like you." She drew back in nlnrm. "Chance resemblances are common enough," she said quietly. "I can only hope my face reminds yon of some our. very pleasant. "That it doea," he replied. "Now 1 must en." And the nevt minute he was on horseback, waving his cap iu a farewell salute to her. (To be continued.)

than in 1802 nnd for the month 1T.S per cent larger than in 1802. Similar testimony Is supplied by "Brndstreefs" as follows: Probably never before at this dale was the course of general business so animated as it is at present. Speculative activity is no longer confined to (he stock market, but has widened to include wheat nnd corn among the ceret.ls and copper among the metals, while the rush of business in iron and steel seems little, if any, abated, and some lines, notably cotton goods and raw wool, are displaying an activity and strength which would hove been welcomed nt any time for n year past. Prices of seeurit ies and of staples alike furnish examples of aggressive strength. In many lines the country's production of manufactured products has

been hearlly sold ahead, and there appears every reason to believe that present values ivill be maintained or increased. "Bradstrect's" says that the bank clearings for the weak nggrpgato (73,OO0,OfM, a gain of 25 per cent, over this week a your ago, of Ki per cent, over 18JK1, of 45 per cent, over S!i5. very nearly twice as large as in 1S!H nnd lSlKl and 10 per cent. larger than In this week of 1802. which tip to this year was the heaviest week on record. "Dun's Review" makes this observation lu closing lis review for December and for the year: "How Kurope will be able to pay more than $75.000,000 due on merchandise account fr the month of December, besides the enormous balances due for Novemlier and previous mom lis. is a question which the country can afford to consider at Its leisure anil with comfort." The Old Year goes out in a blaze of splendor. The New Year comes in with the assured promise of increased happiness, liberty and prosperity for many millions of people. Tn Jackson'R Xante. Ex-Governor Altgeld nnd Col. Rry.ni exchanged pulpits on .lack son Day and preached the gospel of IJryaiiisin iu tinname of Democracy's saint, who being

dead could not help it. Cnlauiiiy was the keynote of both addresses, and Hi to 1 and d n Urn courts the remedy prescribed for tbe political ills of a sick nation. Mr. Altgeld stuck pretty closely to the old test promulgated at Chicago, nnd the gnlluiit Colonel, after showing that his heart was in the right place as to silver, nrailgd of the opportunities offered by bis new issue of nntl-imperiallsni to border bis remarks with a few epigrams and some wisdom from the ancients. The concentration of wealth and the tendency toward an aristocrat ical rule was the burden of Mr. Altgold's plaint. Wealth is accumulating and men arc decaying, he declared. Tho spectacle of "cheap property, cheap labor and cheap men" tilled him with foreboding. Starting from these premises, bis dismal conclusions were perhaps warranted. Hut the trouble is that lie invented the promises. Cheap property nnd cheap uii'ii were never so little iu evidence In tho land ns now. The standard of living is rising with wages, and the average, of intelligence and miirallly is ascending. Statistics show it; nnd tbe observation of fair-minded men proves It. True, there are large fortunes made. They are the result of th- groat oppor tnnltles which are open to all with Uncapacityto improve them. But If the nation is In a crisis demanding revolutionary measures the remedies suggested by the prophets of BryunlKin are lamentably Inadequate. It will not help cheap labor to degrade tbe money In which it la paid, and it surely will not add to tho value of property to destroy the Authority of the judiciary which protects its rights ami the security of public order. I'ree silver and free rlol are too strong :i proscription for a well nation, saying notli. lug about a sick one. In (heir appeal to discontent thr Bryanltes are blind to the facts of the situ atlon and are intent only upon stirring up passion and prejudice for their own political profit.

' The Joke Alexander of Russia Played on the Late Queen of Denmark. ! Among the many anecdotes told of the late tjaecn of Denmark there Is none mors interesting than those rej luting to her august son-in-l.i w, Ein- ! poror Alexander- III. of Russia. The I late Kmperor was very fond of his j mother-in-law. It is related that on j one occasion the King and Queen of I Denmark were sitting together, taking lea. at 9 o'clock In the morning, as was i their custom, ill their modest palace at

Copenhagen. The date was June 2. 12, the day fixed for the visit of the C:iar. A chamberlain rushed into the

! salon with the startling news that the

yac ht of the Imperial guest was signaled off Toldbod point, at the entrance of Copenhagen harbor. Everything had been arranged for his reception at 3 o'clock p. m., and his appearance at that hou? lu the morning upset ail pi.-ins. Queen Louise, who was remarkable for presence of mind, gave orders to signal the imperial yacht and pray the Emperor to postpone his landing until the hour originally fixed. Alexander 111. signaled hack that he had no Intention of the sort, and that be might be expected on shore in half an hour. He further signaled not to d'srurb the royal family and to let the diplomatic corps stay In bed. He would walk up to ilie palace himself lu traveling costume. The IViIar Star conid be seen coming up the harbor, and there was nothing to do but to go to moot the august visitor. Tin! King put on his uniform nnd proceeded with his staff to the quay. He

I arrived tit the lauding place just as the

Kmperor put his foot on shore. The only members of the diplomatic con's present wen- the Count d'Aunayn, the minister of France, and the Russian minister. Gently reproached by the Queen for bis unexpected arrival and the disappointment It would ennse the good townspeople of Copenhagen, who had prepared a splendid reception for the Imperial, guest, the Emperor burst Into a roar ot laughter and said that that was the way he liked to pay a visit. He was Id such high spirits and so full of the bonhomie for which be was noted that there was nothing to do but to treat the matter as a joke. It. afterward transpired that the Emperor had given orders to the captain to put on top speed, with the express intention of arrlvim; even earlier than lie did. He knew t ie great importance' attached by the Queti of Denmark to questions of etiqiiet,U and uothiug gave him more pleasure than to play her a trick of this sort.

No Profanity. Americans boast a little over what, they br.ve. There Is one country In the world I lut t lias a good right to rejoice over what it has not. Japa i is 'destitute of one particular form of evil. Its authorities never have io put down profaue swearing. There Is, says the Evangelist, no oath ill the Japanese language -no word that Is equivalent to an oath. Xot only is then- no native word in which profanity may take refuge, but then? is no Imported word. During the past ten years forolguers have added thousands nf new words to the language, but. not. one profane word bns been incorporated. In this respect Japan is believed to stand alone among tbe mi t Ions. (inmped the Opportunity. Miss Primiey-Ah, yes; I coma of a very old family. Miss IVrklelgh Oh.

Germany and Aaia Minor, It is inevitable that Asia Minor shall evcutnally pass from Mohammedanism, and whether tjermany accomplishes the task or not, tbe Sultan must yield to a Christian nation. It is just as inevitable that diseases of the digestive organs must yield to Hosteller's Sit mach Hitters, which are usually culled lyspepsis, constipation and biliousness.

Fashurtn's Rig Game. IJIg game is said to be extraordinarily plentiful in the regicu of Fasboda. The river swarms with crocodiles and hippopotami, while great herds of antelopes of various kinds and giraffes are frequently met with. The bitter fact Is particularly Interesting, as most of the zoological gardens in the world are in want of a specimen of the North African giraffe, which (hey have been unable to obtain, owing to the closing of the Central Soudan for so mauy years. A Remedy for the Grippe, A remedy recommcndcc for patients af fflicted with the grippe is Kemp's Balsam which is especially adapted to diseases ot the throat nnd lungs. Do not wait foi the first symptoms of the disease, but get a liottle to-day and keep it on hand foi use the moment it is needed. If neglected the grippe has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. The Kalsam prevents this by keeping the cough loose. All druggists sell the Halsam.

Prefer Convict Iilfo. There arc at present several old convicts in Freuiantlc (Westralla) Jail who, though their time has long expired, live on there. They give ns thelt reason that all the people they knew in the old country must be long since dead; so they prefer t remain where so much of their life has been spent.

DISEASES Maitf diseases considered in-

curable are catarrh under ether names. Simple catarrh in the head is called

incurable. Consumption is catarrh of the lungs, and its victim is, no doubt , past help in the more ad-

y vnneerl fitaires!

but great num

bers of people clio f consumption needlessly. It is certain that every phase of catarrh, including many enses of consumption, are cured by the. right treatment.. I'e-rc-na, Ilr. Ilartman's preat prescription, attacks catarrhal diseases scientidcnlly and cures them. Dr. HiirUnan explains it fully in his books which arc mailed on application. Here is a letter from Mrs. Ilarmening, Mazo Manie, Wis., who is ono of many cured of consumption by Pe-ru-na. f-ho sayi : Pe-ru-na Afedi rn' Co., Columbus, O. IlKAn Sins: "I cannot praise your remedy too highly. Last, winter I had la grippe and heiiiorrhiigo of the lungs followed. All the doctors around here told me I bad to die of consumption. Then 1 thought 1 would ask Dr. Hartmuii fur advice, which I did. lie prescribed Pc-ru-nn for me, and T took it according; to bis directions and was cured. I advise everybody thai ii troubled with limp disease to. take Dr. Ilartman's treatment. I am sure they will not regret it if they do. 1 am now enjoying good health, "and can tha&b ?e-tfu-na,f.orit."

What Do the Children Drink? Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is delicious and nourishing, and takes the place of coffee. The more Grain-O you give tae children the more health you distribute through their systems. Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee, but costs about 4 as much. All crocers sell it. 15c nd 25c. , A sure Way.

THANKFUL TO MBS. P1NKHAM.

Barn est Words From Women Who Have Been Believed Of Baur oha -Mm, Plnkham Warns Against Neglect.

Deab Mrs. Pinkham : I have been thankful a thousand times, since I rote you, for what your Vegetable Compound has done for mc I followed your advice carefully, and now I feel like a different person. My troubles were back

ache, headache, nervous tared feeling-, painful menstruation and leucorrhcea. I took four bottles of Vegetable Compound, ono box of Liver Pills, and used one ackage of Sanative Wash, and am now well. I thank you again for the good you have done for me. Ella E. BRENJtER, East Rochester, Ohio. Great numbers of such le tters as the above are constant.? being1 received by Mrs. Pinkham from women who owe their heal th and happiness to her advice and medicine. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. Her advice is offered free to all suffering' women who are puzzled about themselves. If you have backache don't neglect it or try heroically to "work it. down,"you muKt reach the root of the trouble, and nothing will do this so safely and snrcly as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Backache is atscomponicd

by a lot of other achea nnd wearying sensations, but they nearly always come from the same source. Remove the cause of these distressing things, and yvu become well and strong. Mrs. S. J. Swabson, qf Gibson City, IU., tells her experience in the following letter: " Deab Mrs. PinkuaM : Before using yonr medicine I was troubled with headache and my back ached so that I could not rest. Your medicine is the best I have ever used; it has relieved me of my troubles, a&d I feel like myself again. Thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham. " I vould advise any ono troubled with female weakness to take yonr medicine. 1 shall also recommend it wherever I can as a great reliever of pi tin."
