CHAPTER XXII. i t he was greatly tickled by Charles' :inu:l:s, and more than once on t lie way hcjni1 repeated to himself with a chuckle, "Dook of Middlesex! I must ii ourage Charles a little. Pen my .soul, uncommonly neat Dook of Mid dlesex Meantime I must confess that Dorcrhy had gone home in what Barbara was accustomed to call 'a boiling pasion." Barbara happened to be coining ac ross the little hall v. hen she let Ijäfaelf in at the front door. "Miss Dorothymy dear, what is it?" the otd servant cried, her heart jumping fairly Snio her mouth as a dreadful Idea Hashed into her mind that the young mistress' hour had come. Barbara. " said Dorothy, in a voie taking with passion. "'I take back avtfytkiag that I have ever said in defense of David Stevenson every wotC "What! have you seen him?'' triad Barbara. 'l iLsed to feel,M Dorothy went on. in the same trembling tons. and without aking the smallest notice of Barbara's question, "very sorry that I could never fali in with auntie's wishes concerning km. And then, after auntie pot M iond of my Dick. I wasn't sorry for Darid, because I thought circumstances kad been a little hard for him. so I äave stood up for him with all of you. But you were all right, and I take back now every word t hat ever I have said In his t; vor." Barbara drew her into the pretty trawlng room. "Sit down, my dear yo'. i üs. mistress. " she said, tenderly, "ant tell me all about it." So Dorothy sat down on the sofa and tcid Barbara everything about her meeting with David what he had said and what she had said; what he had looked and what she had felt; how he had turned old Isaac out of his place and had put a grand new-fangled gardener to be Isaac's master at the Hall; and finally, how he had asked her to go back and the past would be forgotten, and he had insinuated nay. iiad told her plainly- but. no. Dorothy's composure did not hold out long enough for her to tell that part of her atory. for when she reached that point he gave way and broke down Into violent sobbing. Barbara sa down beside her and took her into her arms, so that she anight lay r er head upon the old serrant's amp'e breast and cry her heartache away. "Miss Dorothy, dear." she said, presently, curiosity getting the best of her at last, "did David Stevenson dare to tell you that you wasn't married?" "Not in 90 many words. Barbara," .Dorothy answered, sitting up now and drying her flushed face, "but he asked sue to go back and marry him." with anutterable contempt, "and he would show me what love meant he, that turned my old friend out of his place directly Auntie died and he said something about my turning my back on all my friends for the sake of a lellow who had brought me to this." "David Stevenson all over," remarked Barbara, dryly. "But, my dear young mistress, you didn't let 2xlm go away thinking what he had said was true? "I told him I had been married for months." Dorothy replied, "and then I just said, 'flood morning' in a tone of ice, and I walked straight in without even looking at him again." "And he saw you come in here?" Barbara cried. "Yes," Dorothy answered. "How could I help it?" "No, I suppose not; but, depend on . he will go gabbling back to CraveBHAKING WITH PASSION. igh and set her ladyship and all the rest of them on to you." "Never mind if he does," Dorothy cried. 'But you wanted to keep it dark, my dear." Barbara reminded her. "Yes; but it doesn't matter so much now that Dick is gone." Dorothy replied. "And. anyway, Esther will be oere. and Esrher will be able to ward off evei ybody and keep them from aak Ing me too closely about anything. I only hope that David Stevenson won't try to force his way in here before Esther comes." "What would be the good" BarSara asked. " You told hirn you were joarri- d."

i o c

"Yes, but he didn't look a bit as if he believed me." Dorothy returned. "Then just let him come here and try it on," cried Barbara valiantly, and really as she stood there, a stout and comfortable figure with her arms akimbo, she looked more than a ma: h for any ordinary man. and nobody would have believed, except such as knew her well, how utterly her courage always deserted her at a critical moment. "Let him try it on. that's all. I can give him a bit of information he won't find very much to his liking I can tell his h.gh and mightiness that I see you married with my own eyes." But David Steenson stood in need of no such information: he had not believed that Dorothy was marriedshe was right enough there. Still, he had realized at last that she was not for him. and that afternoon, whilst he was Idly turning over the papers in the reading-room of the hotel, and wishing himself with all his heart down at Holroyd. it suddenly occurred to him that if IXirothv really i s Iii Q r ried, he would be able to get evidence of the fact by walking down the street and spending an hour and half a crown at Somerset House. Ami there, sure enough, he found the record that was the death-blow of h last little feeble hope the record of the marriage between Richard Harris, bachelor, and Dorothy Strode, spinster, bearing date now a little more than nine months old. "Barbara Potter, witness." read David to himself between his teth, then clenched his hand hard as it rested upon his knee, so that the glove which covered it was burst in several places. Dänin that old woman! she must have a hand in it. of course." Then he put the great book back upon the table, and strode out along the empty echoing corridors and across the street. After a moment's hesitation, caused by the noise and throng of the street, he made up his mind. "Hang it all, what's the good of stopping here? I ll go back home; I shan't feel it so badlv there." CHAPTER XXIII. HREE days had gone, and still Esther Brand had not arrived in London. Each day Dorothy got more and more impatient for her presence, because, although she had never once seen David Stevenson since that morning when she had almost walked into his arms in the Kensington High street, she was so afraid that he might be lurking about the neighborhood that she never set foot outside her own door. If she had known that he was safely down at Holroyd. dividing his life between riding hard from one point of his property to another, and sitting moodily staring into the empty fire-grate, his thoughts all busily occupied in cursing at fate! However, that phase of feeling did not last long with him. for one fine September morning he went over to the Hall and wandered round the quiet old garden a good deal of its especial (harm of quai.it beauty "improved" away now whtre she had spent her happy childhood. 'Til have that bed done away with." he said to old Isaac, pointing out a small, neat bed cut in the velvet turf, just in front of the dining-room window, "it spoils the look of the lawn; dig it up, and we'll have it turfed over." Old Isaac looked at him hesitatingly the old man had felt bitterly his degredation from gardener to odd man, yet ten shillings a week is not to ie sneezed at when its almost certain alternative is the workhouse. Hp hardly dared to say what was in Iiis mind; still, the old feudal instinct, the habit of forty years was slrong in him, and he ventured a timid . protest. "That were Miss Dorotny's own bed, sir." he began; "she dug it her little self, and then she'd take a turn round and have another spell o' digging after. And then, in the springtime, when the violets came out. she was werry proud o' the fust Vaack she took to the mistress." "D m," muttered David, ami moved away. "Took it better nor I thought he would." mused old Isaac, rather elated at his own boldness. But Isaac had counted his chickens too early, for later in the day the head gardener came round to him. "By the bye, Isaac." he said, after mentioning one or two little matters, "the gov'nor wants that little bed under the dining-room window leveled ami turfed over -wants it done at once." "I hear," said Isaac. The old man was trembling as he turned away, and when the other was gone lie stood by the little flower-bed as if it were a grave, looking down upon it with tear-filled eyes. "Brute!" he ground out between his teeth, "brute! What be I to do wi' the Violets, Bell?" he asked, the next time he ain across his superior. "(luv ner said you was to chuck 'em

out on ?be rubbish heap," Bell answered. "Nay, I'll take 'em down to mine," said Isaac, in a quivering voice. "As you like about that." said Bell, all unknowing of the tumult in the old man's breast. And the day following that David Stevenson ordered his horse and rode away from Holroyd through Crave-l'-igh and past the old Hall to a large and prosperous-looking farm, about a mile beyond the house where Dorothy's old fiiend. Lady Jane Start, lived. He turned in at the gates and gave his horse into the care of a man who came running out. "Is Miss Klsie at home?" he asked. "I believe she is. sir." the man replied; "but if you'll knock at the door they'll tell you for certain." A nh e-looking country girl in a neat apron and cap came to the door. Yes. Miss Elsie was at home, the mistress had gone into Dovecourt. Would Mr. Stevenson come this way? He followed her into a pretty enough Bktiag-room, though it had but few of the little touches which hud made Miss Diinsdale's drawing-room so pretty and so restful. There were shades over wax flowers, and a plaster of Paris vase containing some artificial orange-

A I

. Of V THAT WERE MISS DOROTHY'S BED blossoms, which had once adorned the wedding cake of the married daughter of the house, and there were white crochet-work rags over some of the thairs, and others with fearful and wonderful designs in crewels tied up with its bits of gay-colored ribbon.-. Yes. it was pretty enough, but not bearable to him after the quaint and dignified air which had pervaded everything at the Hall where she had lived. In two minutes Elsie Carrington came in, a tall, wholesome-looking girl, with fair hair that was too yellow and cheeks that were too red. and as David's eyes fell upon her 1 am bound to say that his very soul seemed to turn sick within him. Not that he flinched, oh. no. David Stevenson was not of the kind that flinches. "I've come on queer enough errand. Elsie." he began. "Yes?" she said in a questioning tone. "Yes! But it's no use beating about the bush: it's best to be honest and true, isn't it?" "Of course it is." She was very much flushed and puzzled, too. but as yet she had no idea of his meaning. "You must know as well as I do," he went on, not attempting to go a step nearer to her or even to take her aaad, "that I've cared for Dorothy Strode all my life." "Yes." said the girl, faintly. "Well." standing up very straight and still, and with a face like marble, "that's all over now. and I want to get my life settled into shape. Holroyd wants mistress, and I've kept the place open so long." with a piteous attempt at making fun, "that I hardly like to offer it to any one else. Well." finding that she did not speak, "what do you say, Elsie?" (To be continued.) World's iit ttifMita Kuin. The most stupendous ruin in the w orld is the great temple at Baal bee, an ancient city of Syria. It seems to have been a kind of Pantheon, and is situated on a magnificent platform, which rises it high above the level of the ground, and extends from east to west a distance of about 1,000 feet. The portico is at the east, and must have been reached by a grand flight of steps. It is 180 feet, or. including the pavilions L'',it feel from north to south. The threefold entrance leads into the first court, hexagonal in shape, and measuring about 25t feet from corner to corner. A portal 50 feet wide gives admittance t' a grand Quadrangle, which extends from ast to west for 44U feet, and has a breadth of 370 feet, thus including an area of between three and four acres. The peristyle of the temple proper was composed of fifty-four columns; the height Of their shafts w;is about t'.L' fost, and the diameter 7 feet at the base and about 5 feet at the top. That part of the great platform on which the peristyle rests consists of immense walls built tip about f0 feet from the ground and formed of thirteen courses of beveled stones. Another marvelous ruin is the Coliseum at Home, which encloses a space of about five acres, and is said to have been capable of seating eiglity-seven thousand spectators. Hoth of these are ruins of a single building. If we take into consideration groups of ruins we shail be confronted with the wonderful masses of ancient Babylon, of Memphis, of Thebes, and of the temple of LUXOT and the remains of I'ompsil and Herculaneuui. the cities which were bttriad by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.

Spring Medicine

These two words emphasize a necessity and indicate a remedy. Spring the season when the blood is most impure as result of the winter's closer confinement, higher living, slower action of the kidneys and liver; when humors of all kinds, boils, pimples and eruptions are most liable to appear; when the weak, languid condition of the whole bodily structure demands and welcomes help. j Mf.oicink that to which the millions iura a i tins season Hood s iSarsaparilla. The original and only preparation especially adapted to the present needs of the human family; that which makes the blood pure and clean, as shown by its thousands of wonderful cures of dreadful blood diseases; creates an appetite and cures dyspepsia, as shown by its "magic touch" in all stomach troubles: steadies and strengthens the nerves, as proved by people formerly nervous, now calm and selfpossessed, thanks to Hood's America's Greatest Medicine, Police as Shark Catchers. Among the multifarious duties which demand the attention of the Calcutta police the capture of sharks in the Hooghly finds a place. During the past twenty years rewards have been paid for the destruction of those marine man-eaters, and recently the Bengal government laid down a scale for these payments. An Opinion.
