CHAPTER XVII. Miss Gregson spoke with such decision that Leila really began to question herself as to whether she had in truth met the colonel's proud wife in the lane. She had been excited twice previously that evening once by the attack of Ellen Watson, and next by the news of the old earl's illness. Besides, she had seen and talked with Arthur Calthorpe, and her brain had been hot and her heart 6ore. Certainly, she could not be mistaken in regard to the footsteps which had gained on her, nor as to that fearful yell ehe had heard jvhile in the barn. But, then, what possible connection could all that have with Mrs. Wycheriy? Miss Cregson's theory of a traveling showman's wife, who had quarreled with a savage husband, seemed far the most likely one; and thus it came to pass that, when Leila had partaken of the regulation bread and cheese supper which was the portion of the teachers at St. Martha's, she lay down with her mind very much in a chaos of uncertainty, not at all well able to d'.-cide that it was in truth Mrs. Colonel Wycherly whom she had met in the lane. She slept well, for bodily fatigue will induce sleep, even when the mind is disturbed, and it is a long walk from St. Martha's College to Abbotshold and back again. When daylight broke, the twittering of the birds amid the branches of the thick trees that cluster around St. Martha's awoke Leila. She arose, dressed and sallied out into the fresh air of the morning before the sun had waxed hot. She had no intention of straying beyond the precincts of St. Martha's. This was not permitted to the teachers, any more than to the pupils, without special leave. The lawn, and shrubbery, and side paths at St. Martha's were indeed pleasant and very extensive. The dowers in the borders were still asleep, their cups all closed, and heavy with dew. A delightful breeze was astir, which rustled all the leaves in the shrubbery, and made pleasant music in the ears of the girL Leila entered the shrubbery which was bordered by the very high wall over which Miss Jenny, the heiress, had climbed. Raising her eyes, she was amazed to see a man's figure recumbent on the broad summit, and the next moment a bouquet was hurled at her feet. She started, and looked up, half indignantly, at the bouluet thrower.' It was no youthful Adonis who had given her this token of Ii!s admiration. It was a man, broad and burly, sandy bearded and middle-aged. It was Dr. Dundas, the Scotch surgeon, who resided at Wycherly HalL "Good morning. Miss Leigh, said the Scot gaily, and he added gallantiy : Your cheeks rival my roses. Will you not accept them?" Leila had been brought up abroad, where politeness is taught from the cradle. She picked up the flowers, smiled very sweetly, and said that the flowers were charming. And so are you, cried the man of science. Leila colored faintly with surprise and perplexity. She had scarcely ever exchanged more than a passing greeting with Dr. Dundas, and the sudden marked attention of the Scot perplexed and astonished her. I do not wish to infringe the rules of this excellent establishment," said Dr. Dundas; and I srppose that I am Infringing them in climbing this wall and flinging you those Jlowers. I will confess, likewise, that I watched for you here. A little bird told me that it was your custom to walk In the grounds occasionally Wore the other ladies arose, consequently I have watched for you several mornings, and now, behold ! patience Is rewarded." And may I ask why?" iked Leila, flashing a glance npon the doctor which had not a gleam of coquetry in it. "I have something of importance to say to you. Miss Leigh, which must not reach any other ears than yours. Unfortunately for me. I am pot a fluent or correct French scholar, otherwise I might warnj you from this elevation, and persons passing along the road would in all probability not understand me. But though I read and write Greek and Latin, I only speak English. Thus I am about to transgress the rules. I am going to leap down npon this grass border. Do not fear; I am agile for my years." Anothr moment and Dr. Dundas stood by Leila's side in the shrubbery. "Now let us walk down that path oner the lime trees." Leila obeyed, wondering. "Now, Miss Leigh, I am not here to cake yoa a foolish declaration at which you would laugh ; I am here to warn you. Do not compromise yourself, do not even pledge yourself to marry Arthur Calthorpe, if he shall succeed in ridding himself of the claims of thai woman Watson. No, even when he has &haken himself free of her, whi-h I dn't think he will be able to do ; but even if he is, don't marry him." "Why?" asked Leila, turning ple with emotion. "He is not what he seems !" I will not believe one word against him," said the young lady indignantly. "Alas! you are in love with him, I fear, or is it the prospective title and great estate only which excite your admiration?" I would not care if he were penniless to-morrow, if he were free of that woman : but as it is, I must keep clear of Mr.

Caltr.jrpe; hat I still believa him to be the soul of honor." MYou love him," said the doctor. "Well, well, well, it can't be helped. Meanwhile, Miss Leigh, allow me to tell you that I think Mr. Calthorpe is a man of honor. I have nothing to say against him." Why warn me then?" 'Because brighter chances will be laid at yoir feet. You are not what you seem." Leila stopped in her walk. She looked at the doctor. The color mantled on her cheek, her heart beat violently. Suddenly the scene at Chateau Moreauville enacted itself before her again. Again her father, and the stranger in the mantle, stood close to her where she lay, and she beard her father say: You will find the certificates of my marriage and the baptisms of my children In the silver casket." "Do you know anything of our father, Dr. Dundas?" asked Leila eagerly. Who he was? who " The doctor held up his hand and smiled. "I know everything; I have known your whereal-outs ever since jour birth. The time is nearly come to make it public. Of co'irse, it is possible that your claims might be coleseed; but I do not think eo. Anyhow, they are so strong, and the proofs I 'hold so plain, that I do not dream they will be contested for a moment. I am sorry, in one sense, that you have given jour heart to Arthur Calthorpe. Still, it can't be helped. There Is a scamp of a brother; and the young gentleman himself has acted foolishly in playing such a prank in the Highlands. I tell you plainly that I believe this woman will get a sort of open verdict, and thea she will go to a higher court I should not wonder if there are not three Of four trials, and the whole of the United Kingdom kept watching and wondering and amused. Why, I am afraid it will wear out your young, fresh life. I wish you would give up all thoughts of him. Will you not try?" She shook her head sadly.

"Xo, Dr. Dundas; because I believe in my heart that the whole of Lis acquaintance with that woman consisted of a mere game of forfeits, such ai is played every Christmas in most English houses. He never spoke of love to her he never attempted to win hers. She only wishes to be Lady Beryl." "And that she never, never will," said Dr. Dundas, with a strange smile. "Then you think " began Leila. Again the doctor waved his hand. "I believe 6he will succeed in getting herself called Mrs. Calthorpe. I do not think you will ever be his wife." Leila gazed at the doctor in amazement. "You contradict yourself, sir," she said. "No, I do not," he said ; "although you frid it difficult to understand me. She ruay bt Mrs. Calthorpe, but never Lady Beryl," and he added, after a pause: "That honor is reserved for Miss Ella Wycherly." "Oh! is that so, indeed?" asked Leila, drawing herself up proudly. "I never kn?w that Mr. Calthorpe wished to marry Miss Wycherly. Still, it is a fitting match." . "Arthur Calthorpe will not marry Miss WycLorly," said the old doctor. "Nevertheless, she will be Countess of Beryl." Leila could not understand this man. He laughed, then held out his hand. "Trust me for a little while," he said ; "and try, my dear young lady, to think as little as possible of Arthur Calthorpe. Above all things, keep him at a distance until this trial is over. Before then many things will have happened. Keep up your spirits; do not despair. Now, can you let me out by an easier method than I descended by?" Leila led the way to a little wicket gate, which opened inside and led from the grounds of St. Martha's. Dr. Dundas raised his hat, and passed out into the fields. Leila stood at the gate, watching his burly figure until it was out of sight. The more she thought over this strange intervie'v the more perplexed grew her thoughts. Dreams of wealth and position for herself and her brother passed through her mind ; but only vaguely there was no enthusiasm in those dreams. Arthur Calthorpe, somehow stripped of his Tealth and expected title; Arthur Calthorpe separated from her, and given over into the power of Ellen Watson; or else Arthur Calthorpe become Earl of Beryl, and Ella Wycherly his countess. These were the pictures which her imagination conjured up. A rival always a rival ; the loss of Arthur Calthorpe's love ; and if so, what would all the wealth of the world avail to her? She went into the house more sorrowful than elated. Soon her pupils appeared In the classroom, and she had to take her FV-lcb, class before breakfast. was some time before she had an opportunity of speaking alone to Miss Gregsoa; it was while she was chagning her dress for the C o'clock tea. When MUs Gregson heard of the communications of Dr. Dundas, her light eyes flashed; she grew pale with excitement. . "Leila " she said, at length, "do you know, I believe the magician in the l.ng c!oak who paced along the old hall at the chateau with your father was none other than Dr. Dundas. Try to recall his figure and his voice. Do they tally with those of this Scot?" Leila paused a moment. "Yes," she said presently; "that man was tall, and his form was broad, as I remember it now sct'a wrapped in the folds of the cloak. Dr. Dundas is tall and broad. Then the voice was mellow and sweet; so is the deep voice of this Scotchman. Figure and voice agree, Eliza; only, how can such things be? Tell me, is Dr. Dundas a wizard, that he holds the leys of the secrets of three families not .roauected in any way? He knows the history of our father, of the Wycherlys secrets, and some mystery connected with Arthur Calthorpe?" "Because, my dear, you will find all three are intimately connected. I am sure of it. See, what does he say? Arthur Calthorpe is not what he seems?" "Yes ; he strove to set me against him ; said he was no match for mc meaning this dreadful Watson affair, of course." "Not only that ; this Watson woman will be set about her business shortly, if I am not mistaken. It is not only that no, I do not believe that Arthur Calthorpe is in truth the heir of the Earl of Beryl." And here Miss Gregson held up her finger impressively. "1 should not care if he were heir to a cabbage patch and nothing else, so that he could throw that Watson woman off!" Leila spoke with passionate warmth. Mis3 Gregson clasped her hands tightly. "After all, you are happy If you never marry him; you are happy, because you know that you have his heart that he will never love any other woman. You know that this Watson woman never excited in' him any more admiration than say. Miss Pritchard, of this establishment. But to love, and for him. you love to ignore you to appear quite unconscious of your very existence! Ah! Leila Leigh, that is bitterness !" And Eliza Gregson burst into a passion of tears. What could Leila say to comfort this poor heart? She knew where Lionel's heart was given; but she also knew that the romantic English governess had given her love unsought. (To be continued.) Ills Profession. In the midst of our tea drinking In the little Parisian restaurant, says Miss Betham-Edwards in an account or "Home Life in France," a gentlemanly individual wearing a tall hat and frock coat entered, and, after a short colloquy with the young master, passed out. "You would never guess that gentleman's errand," Marcel said, smiling as he reseated himself at the tea table. "He looked to me like a rather distinguished customer," I replied. "Some government functionary on half pay or an owner of bonds." Marcel smiled again. "That well dressed gentleman, then, supplies us with toothpicks, which his wife makes at home. He calls once a month a"ad takes our orders. I dare say he and hhi wife between them make from $G to $3 a week and contrive to keep up appearances on that sum. It Is an Instance of what one calls 'gilded poverty.'" It Didn't Save 111m. "I saw a statement in some paper recently that an umbrella would last, longer if It was always neatly rolled up when not In use." "There's nothing to It. I bought a fine umbrella a week ago and I never had it out of its case and yet somebody stole it three days after I bought it" Philadelphia Press. To the Point. "Move on, now," said the suburban resident to the persistent peddler, "ir you don't I'll whistle for the dog." "Just a moment, please," rejoined the peddler. "Let mo show you a special bargain in whistles a 25-cent article that I am selling for ealy a dime.

Health nnil Iteaaty Hint. j Kemembor that excessive exercise i wears away fat. while moderate exercise develops it. The skin that canrot use glycerine pure may suffer no evil effects if it is diluted with soft water or with lemon and water. It is a mistake to tuck the nightdress under the pillow by da, as is the habit with many. First air it thoougbly and then hang It in the closet. If you want to strengthen the muscles of the throat both inside and out try pulling out the cheeks and at the same tia.e blowing hard with the lips. In getting any tooth powder in quantity it is better to take out but a small portion at a time for daily use, as, if exposed to the air, it absorbs impurities. If you ever are troubled with buzzing and thumping noises in the ears a physician should to consulted at once, as the hearing is too delicate to be trifled with. It is a mistake for a person in ordinary health to force herself to eat when she has no appetite. Some people think it almost a crime to miss a meal and ruiu their digestion in consequence. Stretching the jaws as widely as possible, and, while held in that position trying to force the corners of the mouth together will bring into play all the muscles around the mouth that too often sag from lack of exercise. When you first feel a sensation of pain in the lingers that may mean a felon, at once put rock salt In the oven, pulverize it and mix with equal parts of turpentine. This mixture applied frequently will destroy within twentyfour hours even a felon that has made some headway. Checkerboard Design, A favorite combination of black and white Is In the checkerboard design, like the sketch. The skirt is plaited and finished with a plain hem. 'lhe waist is made Jumper fashion and trimmetl with black braid and flowerlike ornaments made of loops and black soutache. The girdle closes in the back and is of black satin. Turpentine In the Home. After a housekeeper fully realizes the worth' of turpentine in a household she Is never willing to be without a supply of it. It gives quick relief to burns, is an excellent application for corns, and is good for rheumatism and sore throats. Turpentine is a sure preventive against moths; by dropping a trifle in the drawers, trunks and cuiboards it will render the garments secure from injury during the summer. It will also keep ants from the closets and storerooms if a few drops are put in the corners and upon, the shelves, while it is sure destruction to bedbugs and will effectually drive them away from their haunts if thoroughly applied to all the1 Joints of the bedstead. It Injures neither clothing nor furniture. One tablospoonful added to a bucket of warm water Is excellent for cleauing paint. Turpentine is used In laundry work in conjunction with ammonia to remove paint stains from colored clothes. The two liquids are mixed and the stain dipped in and rubbed until it disappears. It is also used in cold water starch to make the iron pass along the fabric smoothly. Proportions, four drops to one tablespoonful of starch. J ' Ilans to, Iletarn. Bangs are coming back to fashion, but that does not mean that young women need cut their front hair short and do It up in crimps at night, neither smear it with the stick quince seed and dandelion lotions of ancient bang days. The new bang is a soft, fluffy row of what are called pincurls resting on the forehead, Just below the pompadour; and "they are called pincurls presumably because a good many of them are attached to a hairpin arrangement and tucked in after the pompadour is finished. That is to say, they have no more connection with the wearer's head than they hive with the braids and puffs and curls that decorate the top of It. This little row of curly bang across the forehead is to be considered more and more au fait as the days go by. ZVetr Uses for Electricity. Electric appliances are entering into family service at a surprising rate. Hot water bags are superseded by an electric sheet of a given size, exceed ingly thin and pliable. It may be purchased at an electrician's supply shop. This thin metal sheet may be heated to three different degrees, and thus proves invaluable In the sick room. The pliability of the metal makes it ios-sible also that this con ductor of heat may be changed to all parts of the body. Virtue of Coal Oil. Try the virtues of coal oil. A few drops on cloth, moistened first with water, polishes windows and mirrors, removes dust from paint and furniture. Equal parts of linseed oil (boiled) and coal oil polishes oiled furniture and floors; also den uses painted floors. A tablespootiful in :i boiler of clothes Is equal to the best washing compound Two-thirds milk and one-third oil, well shaken, is the host remedy for rose bugs. Kcrosuie removes lice from

This, however, Is only for sore throats from cold, as sore throat with fever and pain needs a physician every time. Best medical authority ad vises coal oil for hair tonic, rubbing in scalp thoroughly with ends of fingers, applying at least once a month. The odor quickly passes away. Nothing better for cleaning zinc and tiu. S. B. Bowerman, in exchange. To Change Sheet on n. Sickoed. When changing sheets it Is often not advisable to move the patient, and in order to prevent any risk of chill the blankets should be left undisturbed while the upper and lower sheets are slowly withdrawn and the fresh ones Substituten. To do this a good plan is that of fastening the . edge of . the old sheet to the clean one by means of three or four safety pins, and the former, after having been untucked at the bottom and sMs of the bed. drawn away by degrees until the other takes Its place. When a "draw sheet' is used the patient should be made to lie on the side and th? original sheet rolled up as far as It will go, the new one, half of which is worked into a long roll, being laid alongside. If the patient is then made to turn over to the other side of the bed the old sheet can Ik? easily removed and the new one unfolded and laid flat Ideal Hoaite Mother. Let every woman take it to heart to make everybody alout her as happy as she can. Let her see that as far as iMissible they have the rooms they like bct, the little articles of furniture and ornament they prefer; let her not disdain to pay such attention to the chairs and sofas of the family dwelling rooms ns that every individual may be comfortably placed and feel that he or she has not been left out In the cold. Let her try not so much to make hvr moms splendid as thoroughly habitable and comfortable a drawing room bright nnd sweet with flowers in summer or dried rose leaves in winter, plenty of soft light and warmth, or of coolness adapted to the weather this sort of thing belongs properly to a woman who seeks to make her house a province of the Kingdom of Heaven. To Fasteurlze Hahr' Milk. If jars with glass tops are obtainable u them; otherwise use ordinary fruit jars. Break the glass in the tin tops of the latte; and remove it, so they are easier to clean. Every morning iK'fore preparing the milk scrub Jars and tops and scald thoroughly. Prepare milk in a pitcher, then fill Jars and screw on the tops loosely and place on a clean cloth in a kettle of cold water and cover. The jars should stand in water about half way. Bring wator to boiling point, remove from fire, let stand about fifteen minutes, then cool rapidly and keep in a cool plyee. When wanting to feed baby stir the contents of one jar, pour off deslrtnl amount into a nursing bott'le, put on nipple, and heat in hot water. Two or three jars will hold enough milk for twenty-four hours. No woman with a liking for short sleeves need feel troubled lest long sleeves are to usurp the field next season. More long sleeves are being made for many a day, but short ones are also popular and are coming in the handsomest gowns of all classes except strict tailor-mades. The spring and simimer traveling suit will have long sleeves, as it should always have had, but the other summer run-around and bowse frccks will be in order with short ones. Nine fashionable women out of every ten wear the bell-shaped skirt with

COSTUMES.

long pointed train, which dress prophets declare will reign for many a moon. The tenth woman, who, for one reason or another, prefers a walking skirt, usually has recourse to the time-honored plaited models, although the efforts to shorten the gored style sometimes result 'in a garment which does not sag at the sides nor fall in about the feet. Long skirts have brought In their wake longer jackets. Fetching affairs have fitted backs and cutaway fronts which, in common with the redingotes some of which extend to within a few Inches of the skirt hem open over smart waistcoats, deeply pointed at the throat and cut squarely off at the waist line. With the light-colored broadcloth and kersey suits, the vests are usually of corded silk of precisely the same shade, and many of them are double-breasted and finished as in the masculine garment. Novel Apron. An innovation in chafing dish aprons is shown in the illustration, the distinguishing feature of which is the attachment of tlje bib to the belt la back where it comes down to meet waist line. Large bandanna handkerchiefs are appropriate for aprons of this sort which are practical as well as pretty. The Dotterinilk Dntb. Now It's the buttermilk bath tf.ken internally. It's the newest beauty secret, yet already It Is sweeping through the ranks of the elect at a rate that threatens to make it universal before the Newport season opens. Possibly the bath in itself doesn't give so lunch of the benefiting as does the rest it entails. It must be taken In bed. and the taking requires a whole day. Which means that the woman who takes It doesn't get up at all. She awakes at her usual hour, but instead of rising or even drinking her mornln cofleo or chocolate, she swallows a draught of buttermilk. Then she turns over and goes to sleep for an hour or so. When she awakes she drinks more buttermilk. Another nap follows if she feels inclined. If she doesn't she drinks more buttermilk. And when she has done that she drinks more buttermilk. Tall and Short Walat. If a girl is tall and short-waisted she Bhould contrive to have the tucks in her waist running up and down, anJ the tucks and ruffles in her skirt going around. A narrow belt of the raaterial of the waist should always Ik worn. A tall, slender girl may wear pictur esque hats, the large and drooping kind, but should avoid the new striped effects In suitings, ns well as the long pi.nel effects In skirts and coats. To Shine as n Fool. Ought we really to regard silliness as an "asset T It is not at first sight a flattering proposition, yet If we legin to count the truly silly people we know, those who are delightfully idiotic when every one else is merely dull and sensible, we legin to realize that it really requires no uncjm'uon gift to shine as one having j. splendid reputation is a fool. Fine Munllns. Very fine muslins should be soaked in tepid water In which borax has been dissolved; one tcaspoonful of borax to a gallon of water being sufficient. After half an hour they can be rubled gently in soap suds "made of fine, white curd soap. Boiling! water is then poured over them and allowed to cool. They should bo well rinsed and squeezed rather than wrung out. Tnn Shoes Popular. And still it is the tau shoe, denlors declaring that It Is more iopular than ever before. It may be harder to keep in nice condition, but it is always a comfortable shoe and seems so especially suited for street wear and outing purposes generally.

HOW OLIVE OIL IS MADE.

Frnlt I Crushed to a Faste, from Which the OH Is Pressed. The finest olive oil in the world is frown in Tuscany the garden of Italy. The trees blossom in Tuscany in the aionth of May. The fruit begins to ripen in November and Is generally in full maturity in January. It is a risky crp, says What to Eat, aiaturing as it does during winter sveather. A cold snap with frost may :ause great damage to fruit. Sometimes the fruit remains on the trees till May, yielding a pale, very thin oil, appreciated In some quarters, but which speedily develops rancidity. The process of extracting the oil is simple in the extreme; the fruit Is first crushed in a mill to a uniform paste, then the paste Is transferred to circular bags or receptacles made of vegetable fiber. A pile of these are placed In a press and the exuding oil flows Into a collecting tank below. Essential conditions are that the mill should not revolve too fast or it will overheat the olive paste and give a bad flavor to the oil; that the bed of the mill should notbe of metal, for the same reason. Also the degree of pressure, when the object is to get the finest quality of oil "oil from the pulp," as the term runs must not be excessive. The finest olive oil Is essentially a cold drawn oil. Heat is prejudicial to quality. However, when all possible care has been taken in the process, the fact remains that olive oil can be made only from freshly gathered, perfectly sound, ripe olives of the proper kind. The big fat olives of hot, subtropical climates can never yield a delicately flavored oil. The newly made oil must be allowed to settle. It is then clarified simply bv nassiuc It through purified cotton wool in a suitable filter. Really fine olive oil calls for no other treatment whatever, chemical or otherwise, to ren der it fit for the table. On this point It Is as well to be clear, as reference has been made before now to processes of refining olive oil so as to obtain a snecially fine quality one might as well try to "paint the lily or adorn the rose !" After being brought to America the clarified oil la preserved In warehouses in large slate-lined tanks, holding up to 20.000 gallons each, wherein the oil Is maintained at an eqifable tempera ture. For bottling ar can filling purnoses it Is transferred by pipes from these large tanks to other smaller tanks In the packing rooms. AHCTIC TRIP TO LOOK FOB GOLD. Hxplorars to Make. Scientific Study of the Northern Lands. An arctic expedition which has not attracted much attention is being ac lively equipped and will soon be ready to sail from one of the ports in the north of France, according to the New York Herald. It is the expedition of the French Oceanographic Society and the commander chosen is Captain Charles Benard. The expedition will sail in the ketch Jacques Cartier, the pi ft of a woman, Mme. G. Thomson, and the party will consist of twenty men. Charles Roux, president of the coun -il of administration of the Compagnle Generale Transatlantique, Is directing the enterprise, which was projected at the recent exhibition , at Marseilles. There was a section of oceanography at the exhibition which brought together a great many scientists and navigators interested In the study and the defi ciencies of information as to polar waters were discussed and so the idea of an oceanographic polar expedition was evolved. The Benard expedition is not to try for any record in the way of high lati tude. The program Is to study the coast and waters in the neighborhood pf Nova Zembla and the Kara Sea. Indications of mineral wealth will be sought on the islands and opportuni ties for the extension of trench fish erics In northern waters. These will be the Industrial alms. The scientific ones will cover the whole field of polar research. The Jacques Cartier is a solid vessel, with a steel prow and a sheath of heart of oak along the water, or, rath er, the Ice line. She is specially braced within to resist nipping by the ice pack. She is schooner rigged. The quarters for the men are spacious and the storerooms ample for several years' supplies. There are, besides, photographic workrooms, laboratory. and a library. There is apparatus on board for surveying and for deep-sea sounding and an elaborate fishing out fit. The small boats include two steam launches. An Autogroph Cook Ilook.
