TIEN Armstrong left the room

where the wounded boy lay be found Dr. Marsden nlor.e, pacing up and down the lon

feall, visibly impatient. However, be appeared gratified that the stranger bad contented himself with so short an Interview. Armstrong bade the practitioner farewell, and thjs proved the last he was to see of bim. The young man went to the stables to feed and water Brute, not knowing bow soon be might bate need of him. Returning to the bouse he met Frances Wentwarlh evidently in search of bim. It seemed to bim she bad been weeping, and there was a perceptible change in the cordiality of her manner toward bim. lie, feared this was perhaps . to be accounted for by the Admiration of bcr beauty which hi glances might have betrayed, and Ikresolved t be, more careful in future, although -It was difficult to repress the exaltation be felt at toe prospect of being ber companion on a long and possibly dangerous expedition. "Has my brother spoken to you of my visit to Oxford?" she asked. Tea." "Would it be as convenient to you ta eet out tomorrow morning as this afternoon?" "QuitX ;lt would be better, in fact, for my bcrso bad a hard day of It yesterday, traveling I don't know bow many miles. Perhaps you can tell me where I am. I could get no Information from my surly jailers." "You are in th southern part of Durbain, near the Yorkshire border." "We have come even farther than I thought A day's rest will do no harm to the btiee." "I thank you," the girl said botugwnat primly as she turned nwny. Then, pausing and hesitating a moment, .she coatiuued, with face half averted, "My brother and I are twins, and perhaps the more devoted to each other on that account. I would do Anything for bim. I wish to stay and iseo the nurse Installed." . "I thoroughly .understand the situation, and I wish I were able to tell you how completely I sympathize with you.

be of U.e i ...i.;;.uue to 1dm." This griulou avowal did uot appear to have the effect it merited. Some trace of n frown marred the smoothness of the girl's brow, and her lips became compressed. If a stranger is to be robbed and thwarted it is embarrassing to Lear friendly protestations from him, especially when there is no doubt about their truth." "I thank you," she murmured again and left him abruptly. It was very early next morning when Armstrong stood by his block horse in the lane under the trees, waiting for bis fair charge, who seemed to exercise the privilege of ber sex in being late. Old John was already mounted on an animal that, besides carrying him, was pack horse for the luggage required by the young lady oo ber travels. When the girl appeared Armstrong stepped forward t$ oflr bis assistance, but he was a fraction of a second too late, for, ignoring him. she was in her saddle and away before he could utter a word. He admired the light ease with which she accomplished this act and saw at once she was a practical horsewoman, on as good terms with ber steed as he was with bis own. She rode down the lane to the main road, then turned south, never looking again toward the borne she was leaving hurrying, Indeed, as if it were her purpose to get out of sight as soon as possible. After an hour of this Armstrong began to wonder where he was going. Nothing had been said to him regarding the route to be taken, and the girl went on as confidently, never turning her head, as if she and not he were to be the leader of the expedition. He laughed quietly at this. Then, gathering rein, Bruce, requiring no other hint, stepped out and overtook the horse in front. "Have you any plan marked out with reference to the roads we may take or the towns we are to pass through or avoid?" be asked. "Yes. We will reach York tonight, then follow the. London road as far as Stamford. After that we branch southwest through Northampton to Oxford." "It is all settled then," he said, smiling. "I know the way well, and you told me you were a stranger. I have pass ed between York and Iondon four times," she answered seriously, and with a chilling tone of finality which seemed to indicate that further discussion was unnecessary. The Inflection may have been too subtle to impress itself upon the young man. for he continued with obvious geniality: "You have wandered far 'afield for one so young," To this remark the girl made no reply. Her eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and Armstrong, being at a loss to continue a one sided conversation, found nothing further to say. He was vaguely conscious of the constraint that had come between thorn, for she had talked with bim freely enough the day before, but he could not ac

count for u.e tuaiige. He bid always been accustomed to the free spoken communm of men and knew little of the vagnries of the other sex, whom he had ever regarded as the more talkative. And so through Yorkshire the silent progress continued. "This is not unlike some parts of Scotland," he said at last, in an ill fated attempt to revive a conversation which he did not recognize as dead and beyond his power to resuscitate. The girl reined in ber horse, and Bruce stopped through sympathy, old John halting, that the respectful distance be Lept might not be decreased. Frances held her Ued high, and there was a sparkle of determination in her eye. It was best to begin right, and she would put this persistent man in his place, a tnfk already too long delayed. And perhaps the putting of him in his place would lessen the clamor of her own conscience. '"Sir, who are you?" was her amazing inquiry. ( "MeV" gasped Armstrong. "I'm a Scotsman." "Perhaps I should have said, what are yon?"

"That w ... t t "I have no objection in the least. From tLe conversations we hsd together he shows himself n man of knowledge and a lover of horses, which is an easy passport to my liking." "I cm triad hi company is so much to your taste, and I shall be obliged to you if you fell back with him, as I winh to ride ilone." "That will I not do under command, for, although I may cherish old John's conversation. I cannot admit the claim of superiority you set up. lama drover, I said, and so your ancient King Alfred might with equal truth have dubbed hlmwlf a baker, if old tales are true. I am William Armstrong of Gilnochie Towers, lord of the lands of Langholm, Dalbetht, Stapil-Gortown,

Shield and Dalblane. I can trace tuy

nneage as lar back as any noble in England and come to my ancestral thieves as soon as they. In courtesy we Armstrongs are the equals of any Englander, and In battle we have never turned our backs on them. The castles of my elan line the river Liddel, and when I ride with my friend, the Earl of Traqualr, I ride by his side and not with, his followers."

nm mean Oh, I'm a drover a dealer in cattle." "Did my brother tell you who I am?" "He told me bis father was the late Earl of Strafford." "Yesterday I was grateful to you for the aid you afforded my brother, nsNI should have been grateful to my servant if he had occupied your place, but I should not have forgotten the distance between that servant and myself. Strafford's daughter does not recognize a drover as her social equal. I ask you to take the position I set for you when I began this journey." "Do' you mean, madam, that I am to ride with your servant?"

"olr, you overwhelm me with your grandeur," said tbe girl loftily, rejoiced to find herself in what promised to be a quarrel. She was human, and thought it would prove easier to rob an enemy than a friend. "I thought the crowns of England and Scotland were united, but I see I was mistaken. I travel with the king of Scotland, and he is doubtless on bis way-t-xford to confer with his brother, the king of England." "Madam, I . go to greet his majesty Charles, and if he dare to address me as you have dene I will tell him I am more king of the border than be is king of England, and my saying will be true."

"Madac:. j on may ride where you please." gruifiy replie-1 the ibrcugb!y angered Scot, tingling with wounded pride. . "Sir. I thank you," replied the maiden, bowing again, "nud I an 1 li; bted that you should exhibit U cut so lowly as I an example of that ctorte-y of which you just now boasted." To this the indioiait mu made no reply, thus changing his former relations as regarded conversation. He urged on his horse, and she. after pausing awhile and seeing that John would approach no nearer, also went on, and thus tbe three kept for the day tbelr new relative positions. Unheeded, the sun passed the meridian, and at last she was roused to a sense of her surroundings by the stopping of her ungulded horse before a roadside Inn. Armstrong, his black steed brought to a standstill across the highway, sat rigidly upright, and he said when she thus unexpectedly looked at bim with something of startled appeal in ber eyes: "We stop here for rest and refreshment." "I need neither rest nor refreshment," she answered wearily.

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition ; beauty,'

vigor ana cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the

child urinatestoooften, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, thecause of thedifficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these importantorgans. -This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased conditio of the kidneys and .bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.
