CHAPTER XIII. Marguerite judged it best to tell Mr3. Aeland all the .story of her long period of mental forgetftilnc.-ts, and received in return several interesting cetails concerning the courtship of this hateful unknown Ar;V.ir Pnillips, who, it appeared. used to bring her flowers, and tak-.; her out for v.a'.ks, and for whom she used to v.itca with intent eagerness day after day. '"I you more'n once holding him rovtd the neck, atid crying lit to break your heart; and he always seemed fvjnd cf you, too that he did. and gentle with you as a woman would be." "Mrs. Ac-land." almost whispered Marguerite, her cheeks burning with Ehamc, '"what was he like? Do you remember?" "Oh. my Irar. I ain't no hand at doscribing the quality. I couldn't tell you. Not riht-down handsome, but locked a real gentleman." "A real gent'. -man? Yes, I rhould think so!" she au-wcred in a tone oi bitter coatcmpt. "Mrs. Aeland, this is very horrible for me. to hear, but it is necessary. Tell me this man used to come and sea in? every day?" "Whenever your uncle weren't there, my dear; and when it got to be dusk, Ve'd take j ou c.rt for a valk along the shore, and you'd be as pleased as pleased could he. You'd c me a-run-ulng to rue. your pretty face all aglow, and your hands stretched cut, with 'Oh. dear Mrs. Aeland, do please let Sarah dress rue he's a-going to take me walkir.V We ha I no bright days rcr rur.ning nor jumping when your uncle whs about. No, indeed! VÖ was as mum as a mouse then; and itarah, she used to sry, 'See how frigl tened the poor th.ng is cf him.' We wa both fond of yo i. that we was; an he, too this fine Mr. Phillips. 'Mind you take care of 1:t. Mr. Aeland.' he'd eay.'an I'll make it worth your while!' "MIND YOU TAKE CARE OF which, to say truth, he did, though I've always regretted I listened to him ever since, an' it's laid heavy on my conscience, my dear." Marguerite wrung her hands. Oh, i be a man a man. that she might be : :venged on the base wretch who took advantage of her helpless innocence! "Jfou must be able to give me some Idea of what he looked like," she cried "something more definite than your opinion that he was a gentleman!" "Well. I'll tell ycu this much he was a tall man, slender and uot much color." "Was he dark or fair?" 'Fair" promptly. "Tall and fair and blackhearted!" murmured Marguerite. "Oh, how I hate him! Do you say he used to bring me flowers, Mrs. Ackland?" "My dear, the most beautiful! You was so fond of flovers. I remember now the sorts he u .ed to bring you always red and yellow rose3 and heaps cf ,'ern." Rlarguerite'3 eyes instinctively wandered to the table, where her sumptuous morning's instalment of flowers wa3 ranged In a large bowl. Red and yellow roses! A strange coincidence. For a moment the wild idea crowed her nJnd that the tinknown Eender of these flowers might bo her husband. Ited and yellow rose; at once lost their charm. She turned away from them with a gesture of disgust. "Oh, Mrs. Aeland." she eyrlaimed, "you don't know how dreadfully miserable I am! I don't know wh A to do. Was any one ever In such a d'eadful position neither married nor single!" "Ay. and with a sweetheart of your own, to I'll be bound," said Mrs. Acland sympathetically. The sudden flush upon the girl's face answered her. "Dear, dear, I do feel sorry for you, poor child!" said the woman, whose pity exasperated Marguerite. "Mrs. ArhnJ," she asked abruptly, "should you know this this Phillips again if you saw him?" "That I she uld. my dear, unless he's altered strangely." was the encouraging reply. "That's right. I will Just write down your description of him to tell my lawyer. Where did you lay that marriage certificate? I shall want to show him that, too." "Now, my dear." said Mrs. Aeland. "here's what I can't help thinklng'll fce likely of more use to you than that marriage certificate; and I took and copied that off a letter Mr. Phillips -wrote. He wrote it and left It by accident on the table while he took you out walking: and when he came In. I eaw he wa? lu a fine taking at the tnought of my 'laving seen It." She

laid a piece cf paper before Marguerite's eyes. "D. Brandon, Esq., High Lees, Great Woedenham, Hunts." Marguerite locked steadfastly at the address. "You are right. Mr?. Aeland," she Faid, with repressed excitement in her tones "this is the very thing I have wanted." And even as she gazed at t he paprr her resolution was taken. She wr 3 all alcne; there was no one to hinder her, no one to object. She. would take the train and go and visit the-e seerses of her childhood. "I believe," she murmured, "if onre I stood there and paw the place before me, I should remember all about it"

ch.pti::i xiv. It was a beautiful autumn day. The Virginia creeper cn the little wayside station of (Jre.it Wocdcr.ham, a mass cf scarlet and gold, lu.-lle-d every now and then in the iiaht breeze. The distances melted in blue mist; the dew still lay in heavy beads cn the long grass of the banks and dilelKS, rs Marguerite stepped from the Lcndon train and looked about her with wondering, observant eyes. She formed a very fair picture as sb.3 stood there, in a neat. we!l-fitting gray morning dress, and white straw sailorhat trimmed with a knot of white ribbons. I'ven the solitary porter forgot himself in admiration of her pretty face and charming figure. Marguerite did not see him; she was gazing at the board on which the name of the station was painted in large black letlets. "Great Woodenham for High Lees and Clarisdale." She had not grasped the fact that she was rorning fo near to Clarisdale. Why, she was within a few miles of Bernard, and of her legal adviser, Mr. Martincau! Suppose she were to meet thm! Her cheeks burned at the thought. Turning, she HER. MRS. ACLAND," HE'D SAY, beckoned to the ad C3 A' v v . "In which direction is Clarisdale from here?" she asked. "About five miles west o' this, mir;; but there ain't no village to speak of only Lord Umfraville's place." "Oh and which is the way to High Lees?" "Right out the other way, missrather better 'n three mile, miss." "Does Mr. Brandon still live there?" "Yes, miss; but his house is two mile good beyond the village. It's a long tramp, miss." "Oh, I am a good walker! I suppose, when I get to the village, any one would direct me to Mr. Brandon's?" "Oh, yes, m!ss." "Then will you tell me the nearest way to the village?" He gave the necessary direction, and with a bright "Thank you," she started off. Marguerite walked cn in a state of mind strangely divided between exhilaration and fear. The fresh, pure air, the blup iky, the waving trees, and, above all, the sense of enterprise and daring, were delightful to her. But presently, to her astonishment, shefound that the oid habitual terror of her uncle was creeping over her. She began to realize that it was scarcely prudent to trust herself alone to the tender me ties of the man who had already adopted fouh measures to be rid of her. She began to think that she was foolhardy; but, being thus far on the journey, nothing would have induced her to turn back. She walked on briskly, ffcure in the thought that every step was taking her farther from Clarisdale, and that there really wi'.s no chance of her being seen. As to Mr. Brandon, she did not want to see him; she wanted to see Cathie; and her remembrance of the back entrance to the house was so vivid that she felt certain that she could accomplish her object. Anyhow, she was In for it the Issue mu?t be left to fate. She felt the longing for certainty greater than ever. Come what might, she must ascertain who and what was Arthur Phillips, and whether he was living or dead. A letter from Bernard lay In her pocket a letter full of Lady Mildred. "This Is such an Ideal house." he wrote. "Mine shall be managed Just the same. You should know Lady Mildred in fact, you must know her. She could teach you so much, especially as regards dress she understands the art to perfection; and. when you see her, you must take hints; though of course your style and hers are very different," etc. . The letter hurt Marguerite's feelings.

tLcugh of course she owned bitterly t herself that It was true. She was absolutely Ignorant of everything which Bernard Selwyn's wife should know. She paused against a stile leading int3 a cornfield, and sat down a minute to rest, for she had walked a ccuple of niles at a very rapid rate. As she f at, she heard the galloping of horse i behind her on the road, and the sound of laughter and voice.?. Urged by an impulse she hardly understood, she climbed over the stile, and paused on the other side, hidden by the hedge, to see the riders go by. Just as they reached that rart of the road they slackened to a foot-pave, and she could both see and hear distinctly. There were three ycung men and two girls, all well mounted and in high spirits. They were all looking behind them. "No sign of them!" cried one of the ladies. "My dear Mi?s Talbot, you won't ses them again this rncrning; they are off as usual. Perhaps Lady Mildred is showing him the short cut to the

j Home Farm again!" There was evi dently a joke here. They all bu:st out laughing. "Sclwyn is awfully hard hit, isn't he?" said one of the men. "It will be a fine thing for the Umfravilie estates," remarked another, and then the voices became indistinct es the party pa..cd on dr.vn the lane. Marguerite s-tood ötill. Of course she had known it all before, but it seemed notwithstanding to come upon her with a sudden shock. She bowed her head on the stile, and gave way to her ticuble for a limn, she d ".ot knowhow long she stood there; she enly knew that what roused her was the sound of more horses' feet. She started and shivered, but it was too late to move. Holding on by the rough wood for support, she saw them ride slowly past saw Lady Mildrcu a pale, proud face, noted the downward curve of her exptessive mouth, saw Bernard riding close ab, so clo-e! but could not catch the low words that he was speaking. So they passed, and it fremcd to Marguerite as if the life anil gladness of the sunny day passed with them. She waited till the last echo cf horses' feet had died away in the distance, and then climbed resolutely back into the lan .r.d continued her journey. She did rot ?are for twenty Daniel Brandons no .v. Nothing, she thought, could ever liir her emotions rgain love and fear were dead together. "I have lived and loved," she said to herself, "and now it is all over. Others have had harder things to bear. I can bear this." To be continued. TAKES A ROOM On the Top Floor of Ilotrl to Avoid tin No!p sit Home. A ead-faced man with iron gray hair and a tired manner walked into a hotel, bowed to the cVrlc who greeted him, by name, and took the key held out to him. "H!sh?" he asked. "Tcp," answered the clerk with a smile. The man wrote his name in the register and followed it with that of a popular srnimer town near Xew York. As he walked to the elevator, the clerk turned to a man leaning on the counter. "So long as the Fourth of July continues to be celebrated and that man lives," he said, "this hotel will never be without on? guest on the national holiday. While everybody eke is hurrying out of town, he is making his way for this hotel from his country place. lie lives near a small town which has lately become the center of a fashionable country house district, lie is the father of several children and a man of wealth. But he suffers from nerves. The Fourth of July is too much for them. He says that the fireworks pet into working order twentyfour hours ahead of time in the country and he cannot stand the nervous wear and tear. Nor decs he want to interfere with the pleasure of people who like to hear noise and smell powder. So he has come here on this day every summer for the past four years, taken a room on the top floor where he can hear nothing and passed the night and day as quietly as if it were net the day his family, friends and neighbors ! are celebrating." New York Sun. WOMEN'S CLUB And the i:-;iftoii for Their Kuplri Cirowth of l-te Years. It was at a woman's club, after the meeting, and when the hum and buzz of feminine voices were intermingled with the clatter of tpcens and temporarily hushed by the mouthfuls of ice cream, that the following conversation took place between two women, one of whom was an ardent club woman, as could easily be seen by the string of medals and insignia which ornamented the front of her bodice, while the other was just the ordinary everyday womar. "My dear," said the club woman, grabbing her companion's hand, I must be going. I am due at a meeting of the daughters of Lafayette Post, and then I must drop in for a moment and see Mrs. Blank about our li'-xt meeting and the topic for discussion." "How do you find time for all these clubs and what docs your husband say to all this running about?" "Ten years ago it was I wn'o sat at homo and waited till between 5 and 6 for him to come home. 'Mais 110113 avons change tout sela, he sits homo and waits for me now. I have been out since 9 this morning and I am just looking lige a tramp now. Well, he does not leem to mind it; he is just as good and de ar as he can be. We board you know, and I never had any children. But good bye; I shall see you again at the 'Justicia, shall I not?" Is this the solution of the abnormal growth of woman's clubs. "We board, you know, and I never had any children. " Is it the lack of motherhood which has driven her into the clubs? "How would you define luck?" was asked of the man who hag made more money than he knows what to do with. "It Is the product of a reasonable amount of ability, backed by tenacity." Detroit Free Presa.

One man, w ho is well to do in the world and does not care a rush for a dollar and is continually loaning small stuns to his young woiwn friends, asi erts that he has seldom if ever been repaid, and fears that be would be attacked vith heart palpitation if a ler.drr of paynic.it of these loans should bo made. But men are not the only victims of the borrowing pirl. She frequently mulcts those of her own fcx. It may Be safely said that the girl who borrows half a dollar from a girl chum when chopping because her own funds have b"en exhausted and then fails to return it as coon as fhe receives her n?xt week's allowances is the very girl who. when she becomes a housekeeper, will thrust all of her bills into a drawer, shut them up and finally scheme all corts of ways to meet them, and failing in her ability to do so, pout and say that the tradespeople are "mean things" not to extend her credit, rays an exchange. Every schoolgirl knows the type of Kirl who would not be thought stingy for the world, is jolly and ready to "go halves" on all sorts of fun, yet who often neglects to reimburse the one who has stood the whole expense because at the moment it was more convenient or less conspicuous to do jo. This girl will finally meet the obligation, but she will do so at her convenience. Mayho the girl who 1ms "foofd the bill" will suffer all sorts of little? Inconveniences because of the unusual demand matte upon her purse, but pride forbidding her mentioning it the just suffers in silence. The girl tvtn with an almost limitless income should be taught to knov that she is one of the fortunate few, that perhaps her girl associate.; must be as careful oi th'Mr pennies as she is of her dollars and that without show or any indication of patronage she should always meet and never ng'ect any obligation. Clever I!ra. It has been a mystery and a conundrum to the average man for tome little time bow women did without pockets, and also a wonder to the aforesaid man why women did riot loe more of these llimsy creations called handkerchiefs than they did, for it was a marvel to them how the women managed handkerchiefs, pocketbooks and bundles, held up thoir ckirts, carried oftentimes an umbrella, and only had the one pair of hands for this rather complicated performance. For ome time past the women have endeavored to solvrt the problem of doing more titan one thing at a time, and have utilized their pocketbooks for the purpose of carrying thir handkerchiefs, to the great detriment of the former and the Ycry untidy condition of the latter. Some enterprising manufacturer has conceived the idea of a pockeihandkerc hiefpockr tbook" (this word need not be pronounced very often, else there might bo some trouble),and an article meant for this double purpose is now on the market. It is made with the last compartment open at one end to admit of the handkerchief or the gloves or both bring slipped in and not necessitate- their being rolled up into a ball, bulging out tho purse and wrinkling the handkerchief so that it is mussy looking. As the cides of (he purse were ant to be torn down under the old style, women will bail the innovation with dnlight. These pocketbooks come in pretty styles and can be bought at a price to suit any purse. They .n o f bown in the shops from r0 cents to the amount of several dollars.

Barrings arc; coming in again, and while fashion's slaves arc merely protesting that they will not wear the barbarous things, they will undoubtedly submit in the tad. The edict has gone forth that earrings are to be worn again, and the jewelers are prepared for an Immediate demand for that article of jewelry, which was relegated to oblivion ten years ago. One drawback to the revival is that nine out of every ten women will need to have their ears pierced again, and every woman has an acute remembrance of that painful ordeal In the past. When o-r mothers were young It was the custom to pierce the cars by putting a cork behind them, stretching the lobe of the ear tight over the cork, and then piercing with a needle, afterward drawing a silken thread and a gold ring, made especially for the purpose, through the hole. Pearl or diamond fcrew rings will hold their own for a long time in woman's favor, but there are some new and startling fancies shown in the way of earrings in the jewelry shops. Cur of tltt Kara.

It's a funny thing to me why women will not underttand that it is a deal tarier to have a beautiful complexion by putting proper food into their stomach than it is to doctor bad skins with various lotions and cosmetics, says the Philadelphia Times. Simple digestible food makes a pood, pure blood, and if the blood is in good condition there will be no poisonous matter to be thrown off through the pores of the skin. Let fruit and vegetables predominate in your diet, take a daily sponge bath and exercise in the open air, for exercise helps to keep the digestion active the cure for half the beauty ailments to which femininity falls heir. Scrupulous cleanliness not only the face itself, but of the entire bodyis absolutely necessary. A simple lotion like li.-terine which is soothing and healing and applications of creme marqme or any other harmless, home-made cosmetic, should put the imishirig touches to the good work. Dath for the Il ilr. Light hair should be washed often and dried in the sun. A tablespoonful of household ammonia added to each basin of water used in washing assists materially in keeping It light. Dark hair should be dried in the shade, or it will fade in etreaks. But if the dark haired girl wishes to lighten her tresses without a bleach she can accomplish something in that direction by adding borax to the water, and, after drying the hair In the shade, giving it a "sun bath" as often as practicable. During the sun bath the hair should be spread and shaken out constantly, that the rays may reach all the roobs alike. ETrnliiff Toilet.
