A Bit of Strategy

BY RETT WINWEOD.

'Come in, child. You are wanted. Something in her Aunt's grave voice caused Elisha Vaughn to start up quickly, though her lap was full of the riotous bloom of which she had rifled the flower beds. Lilies, and roses, and waxlike japonicas slid into a fragrant heap at her feet. Selecting a single scentless blossom of viaid scarlet,whicb »be fastened in the waves of her shining hair, she ascended the terrace steps and entered the house.

A sleek-looking man dressqd in black sat with Mrs. Morton in the drawingroom. He rose, instantly, and held out bis band to her.

Miss Elise Vaughn, I presume,' he said, politely. Elise bowed.

This gentleman is Mr. Dunbar, from Hazelhurst,' broke out Mrs. Morton, nervously. He has brought bad news, mv child.' ~Fpom Uncle Stephen Vaughn?'

Will you tell me what it is?' turn itig, and coolly surveying the sleek, well-few lawyer.

Mr. Vaagun is dead.' 1 am sofry to hear It.' This was all. Elise did not believe in shedding tears to no purpose, far less, in playing the bypocrit. Stephen Vaughn had never seemed anything but a stranger, despite the relationship existing between them, and now Mrs. Morton, in whose veins not a drop of Che Vaugh blood flowed she was £lise's mother's sister—was much nearer shedding tears.

Yon have not heard all,' said the lawyer, regarding the girl admiringly. 'Mr. Vaughn left you sole heiress to Hazelhurst and all bis wealth.'

Indeed,' sho returned, still retaining tor iinperturable calm.

41don't

believe you comprehend Mr.

Dunbar's meaning,' cried Mrs. Morton, quivering with excitement. You are a very rich woman—the richest in the eountry,' 'That is butter than being the poorest, I am sure,' sm.Ming sweetly.

A cool minx, upon my word,' thought the keen-eyed lawyer. I shall be compelled to handle her with velvet paws.'

But Elise was not so indifferent as •he appeared. A sudden flush, at some passing thought, swept over her face, and »beasked, in a softened voice:

When did my uncle die?' 'List night. I was sent down to fetch you to the funeral. We will take the next train, if you please, it leaves In an hour.'

Elise bowed consent, and glided from the room. She did not go directly up ntaira to dress, however. Her garden bat lay on a chair in the hall, and, hastily snatching it up, she ran down the walk, and knocked at the door of a pleasant little office situated just beyond the grounds.

Como in,' said a musical voioe. Sho entered. A handsome young fellow sat by a green baize table poring over some musty books. He was very handsome indeed, and if the truth must be told,very seedy and very much out at the elbows. How could it be otherwise, since he had taken a college course on little or nothing, and was now studying law in the same manner? HI* whole face lighted up at the sight of Elise, and he said, with a merry atnile:

You come to me like a sunbeam.' She smiled, too, and her cheeks colored a little. 'I am going away, Paul Haynor,' she said, 'and came to tell you.'

Going away?' he echoed turning pale. Yes, Undo Vaughn is deaa, and has made me his heiress.'

Is this true ho gasped, and glanced down Involuntarily at his threadbare ooat.

Yes. I go to Hasolhurst within the hour.' She stopped, and looked half-wist-ful !y at htm as he sat with his head fallen in his hand.

Will you not take this as a parting gift?' she cried, suddenly, tearing the scarlet blossom from her hair and offering it. ... •No,' he answered,briefly and coldly. •Good-bye, Elise.1

Good-bye.' Sho turned haughtily from him, and went swiftly Into the house.

Throe weeks slipped by and then Elise was back again. Th lawyer was not her escort this time, for he had sent substitute in the person of his •on, a handsome, self possessed man of the world, who was paying the most assiduous court to the heiress of Hasei-

^Reginald Dunbar was well-connected and his father was reported wealthy. Mrs. Morton, who had a weakness for blood," and a still greater weaknow lor bank stock and five-twentee,pressed the young man to remain at the cottage as her guest, and he readily consented.

Some gay festivities followed,despite the solemn event that bad so recently transpired. Nobody made a pretence of mourning for Stephen Vaughn, who had been gray, and crabbed, and tyrannical but young blood loves excitement, and so the bright summer days were full of pleasure.

Paul Rawer was asked to take part in all these sayetiea, but he seldom made his appearance among the pleasure seekera. Reginald Dunbar, however, showed himself the most gallant and devoted of attendants.

That «aa lores you, Klt*e,' said Mrs. Morton, one day. You must sn&rrv him.'

Why must IV said Elise, her red lip curling. 'He is a goe* *atefe, the hast yon will aver have, pet pa.'

He will do so when you give him an opportunity—or he may make one tor himself,'

Mrs Morton was rigbU Tbe nropoaal came the next day, while Elise awl Reginald Dunbar wars outdriving. «j cannot live without yon,' he said. 1 love yon so vary dearly. Will yon marry me?'

All this was very abrupt, and Elise betrayed aconfusion wholly unlike her usually calm self. 'This is so sudden,' she feltered. 'Give me time to think of the matter.'

How long?' One week—until we are better acquainted with each other.' 'Very well,'said Mr. Dunbar, but he did not look altogether pleased. My influence over this queen girl is not so great as I thought,' he muttered to himself.

That night he wrote to his father and the second day afterward Lawyer Dunbar made his appearance at the cottage as though quite by accident.

I have an important communication to make,' be said to Elise, the moment they found themselves alone together.

What is it?' she asked, meeting his keen gaze. 'Your uncle's property was left to you conditionally.

Her eyes dilated in real wonder. You were to marry my son, who was a great favorite with Stephen Vaughn.'

She dropped the lids over her telltale eyes, and murmured demurely Indeed!'

Yes. I see that tbe condition surprised you,' regarding her keenly.

' But

you must remember that the deceased was a very singular man. He was fond of Reginald, as I just now said. But having so near a relative as yourself, he could not consistently leave his money to my son, out and out. Therefore he made the condition of which I have made mention.' And the property reverts to Mr, Reginald Duubar, If I refuse his hand in marriage?'

Y-e-s,' stammered the lawyer. Why did you not tell me sooner,' she said.

Because I wished you to make my son's acquaiatance While believing yourself unfettered by conditions hoped a mutual passion would spring up. Indeed, there is no doubt but Reginald loves you.'

And if I return his passion, all will be well with us both ' Yes.'

I am glad you told this.' And so the conference ended. Half an hour later Elise walked down the village street to a house in the suburbs, where lived a man whom she knew well, and who was a retired detective. She was closeted with him for sometime, in earnest conversation.

On the way home she encountered Paul Raynor. He seemed inclined to avoid her at first, but she went straight up to him, and, laying her hand upon his arm with an air of easy familiarity, said:

' Paul, may I ask your advice?'

Paul, may I ask your advice He opened wide his eyes. 'Certainly,' he returned, after a slight pause, ' on any subject where I may

on any subject where I may

consistently give It.' Thank you. I will come to the point at once. Reginald Dunbar has asked me to marry him. Shall I ?'

Paul trembled with emotion he could not wholly repress.

You have not heard all. I shall lose the fortune Uncle Stephen left meso I have been told—if I refuse Reginald.'

Paul did not see the tender, half-dep-recating glance which she fixed shyly upon his face, and he answered bitterly

Then you must marry him, of course. Money stands before everything else in this world. Without it you can win nothing—neither love nor honor.'

And he strode impatiently away. Elise looked after him with a deep sigh.

How proud you are,' she thought. Poor and Proud Oh, Paul !'

The week went by, bringing the day when Reginald Dunbar was to receive his answer.

Elise had seemed strangely nervous and excited. She paced the floor of her dressing-room all the morning, avoiding Reginald, and toward noon mounted her thorough-bred mare, Spider.and rode away by herself.

An hour later Reginald stood in the village street, and Paul Raynor leaned against the frame-work of the office door, looking out listlessly, when the thundering or horses' hools struck upon the ears of both.

Up the street tore the mare, Spider, like a flash of lightning, snorting with terror. In the saddle, clinging to the frightened creature's mane, sat Elise, her eyes burning like two stars.her lips shut tight, and her face white as some waxen Iily.

A cry of alarm broke from Reginald's lips, and then be stood utterly helpless, staring hard at horse and rider, while both seemed dashing on to sure destruction.

It was not so with Paul. With one bound he was in the street, and had flung himself In the way. waiting with muscles of iron the shock that must come.

He caught at the bridle, and for some giddy moments was tossed in the air. The hoofs beat franticaly at his breast as if hungry for victim, but he kept clear of them, and the snorting rebel

was soon brought to a standstill, panting in every limb. Then Reginald, rousing himself, came forward with his arms held out.

Thank God you are saved,' he said, with white tips* Let me take you down.'

She scorn fully pushed his hand aside, and said, coldly: I do not desire your assistance. You were more loth to offer it when it was really needed.'

A burning flush mounted to his forehead, and he stammered: Your peril paralysed me,Elise. My helplessness was only another proof of the love I bear you, and you ought so consider it.'

I am sorry that I cannot, Mr. Dunbar. Now you will please lead Spider back to the stable, I will follow as soon as I am rested.'

bar.

Not daring to disobey the haughty beauty, he took the bridle from Paul's hand, and reluctantly strode away.

Elise waited until he was out of sight, and then said, in a low, beseeching voice:

Paul, will you not come here?' Paul Raynor stepped forward and

What is your pleasure, Elise She lifted her eyes to his for an instant, and a whole tide of crimson flushed over her face. ' You are cruel, Paul,' she murmured.

You make me say words that ought to come from your lips alone—I love

you !'

He started. What do you say? he faltered, with an incredulous stare. ' You love a

off in his own coin. Uncle Stephen made no such condition as the lawyer said he did. I sent a detective up to Hazelhurst to inquire into the matter. He has returned, and reported to me last night. I am free to marry whom I will.'

And you choose to marry me?' 'I do.' Knowing this, the reader will readily guess what answer Reginald Dunbar received to his suit, a few hours later.

Kathleen O'Neil.

Kathleen, is it possible that you are crying again? Did I not tell you that I would discharge you if I found you indulging in this foolish whimpering any more?'

Poor Kathleen O'Neil had been dusting tbe elegantly furnished drawingroom, and she stood before an exquisite little painting of one of tbe blue, sparkling Irish lakes, set in gold green shores, with a sky beyond like liquid amber—stood with her apron to her eyes, and her ruddy cheeks deluged with tears.

41couldn't

4but

Deed did I, then, ma'am,' answered Kathleen,

4and

many a time. For we

lived beyant them same green shores, when

There, that will do,' said Mrs. Arnott, coldly.

She looks down on me as if I was a dog!' Kathleen thought to herself.

And sure It's the same flesh and blood God has given to us both. How would she like it, I wonder, to be in a strange land, and niver a kind word spoken to her Oh, but if I could see the mother and little Honora, and Teddy, that's but a baby yet but it's the Blue sea rolls between us, and it's all alone I am!'

Poor ithleen tho sen of desolation came upon her with sickening power just then as she stood before the picture of the sweet Irish lake, with the wet splashes 011 her cheek,and Mrs. Arnott's cold, hard voice sounoing in ber ear.

It's a great pity to be obliged to do with these wild, untutored Irish.' Kathleen was just bringing up the tray, and Mrs. Arnott's words sounded distinctly in her ears as she paused on the top step to get breath.

Of course, my dear,' said Mrs. Tudor Audor, sympathetically, 'they're bad, thoroughly bad, the whole lot of them. I'd send th«m all back to their native country if it lay in my power.'

I wish they were all at tbe bottom of the sea,' said Mrs. Arnott, 'and then, perhaps, we should have a chance to employ Swedes, or Chiuese, or somebody that would at least earn their bread. Is that you, Kathleen? Why don't you bring the iee-water in at once, instead dawdling there?'

Kathlenn obeyed, but the dreary, homesick feeling that thrilled through all her 1 ilses can hardly be described. 'If I w.w only at home again,'she thought, 'where the poorest and the meanest have a kind word for each other They scorn and hate me here and sure, I've tried to do my best, but the lady has a heart of stone, and even tbe little children in the nursery, with their French maid make fun of Irish Kftfcblftfln

And the lonely exile wept herself to sleep on her solitary pillow that night. It was a mere closet of a room, without light or ventilation, that she occupied. Mrs. Arnott thought that any place was good enough for Kathleen the was hard, and insufficiently provided with clothing, but as Mrs. Arnott carelessly observed, it was no doubt a great deal better than she was accustomed to at home. And she hnd just paid to Isaacson & Co. a thousand dollars apiece for draping ber drawing-room windows with lace and brocatelle—so, of course, there was nothing left for such a trifle as the comfort of servants.

Is Kathleen sick, mamma?' little Julia Arnott asked one day 'she cries so much and looks so white!'

Mr. Arnott, a stout-built, good-na-tured man of forty or thereabouts, glanced up from his paper.

What does tbe child mean, Lucretia be asked of his wife.

you look a little after your grtrla?'

Of course I do,' ahe said, sharply. Kathleen Is a silent,' sullen thing, and I shall discharge her next month. Natalia has a cousin wbo wants the place.'

Haa she any friends in tbe country —Kathleen, I mean.' Not that I know of.' 'Seems to me I wouldn't discharge her. then. It would be rather hard,unless she is guilty of some fault.'

Mrs. Arnott bit her lip. Gentlemen understand nothing of

Yes.* I wish you'd stop and aik Dr. Hart to atop here thia morning little Clarence is feverUh.' $

Anything serious?' I hope not,' tbe mother answered, but I always like to take these things in time.'

Dr. Hsrt leaned over Clarence's little crib he involuntarily nttered the name of a malignant type of fever jast then raging in the eity.

I wish yon had sent for me before. I fear that it ia too late to secure the exemption of your two other little ones. But with oonatant care I think we may save tbe little fellow. You have a good nurse

An exoellent one. I can trust Natalia aa I would trust myself.' You are fortunate/ aaid the doctor. He had scarcely closed tbe door, when Natalia came to ber mistress.

You love a

wretched beggar like met I cannot believe It.' It is true, nevertheless.' A cry of rapture broke from his lips. He stooped to take her in his arms, and then drew back.

Your fortnne he said. Surely you will not give that up for my sake It la too great a sacrifice.'' 'I need not she laughed. Lawyer Duabar undertook a bit of strategy. if the truth must be told,and I paid him

But, Natalia, the baby la sick •One's first duty Is to one's aelf I wouldn't risk tbe infection for twice what you pay me.'

And Natalia packed ber trunk and departed, without even ooming into tbe nursery to bid little Clarenee goodbye. 1 be cook waa next to give warning. Matilda, the laundreea, took herself off without any such preliminary ceremony.

I'm going too,' aaid the aeamstreas. 'Mrs. Arnott wonldnt have lifted her finger if we'd all been dying, and I believe in doing to othera as they do to me.'

And almost before ahe knew it the stricken mother waa left alone by the bedside of ber Buffering babe. Neighbom croseed on the other aldeofthe street like tbe priests and Levitee of old friends contented themselves by ia to Inquire eves hired

But, Kathleen, 1 was cruel to you, so perfectly heartless!'

We won't talk of it, ma'am dear,' said Kathleen, evasively. But say just just once that you forgive me!' pleaded the lady, once so haughty.

ma'am, as free as the

sunshine,' Kathleen answered softly. Arc you'll stay with me always,and be my mend, Kathleen

If God wills it, ma'am.' And Mrs. Arnott put ber lips to kiss the fresh, cold cheeks of Irish Kathleen.

The years that have passed since then have made men and women of the little people that Kathleen nursed through the fever, and strangers who visit Mrs. Arnott scarcely know what to make of the plump, comely, middle-eged woman who moves about tbe house apparently as much at home in it as tbe mistress herself—who is always consulted about everything, and trusted with all secrets.

Is she a housekeeper or a servant or a relation some one once asked. Mrs. Arnott replied:

"HOUSEKEEPER" OP HEALTH. The liver being the great depurating or blood cleansing organ of the system— set this great "housekeeper of our health" at work, and the foul corruptions which gender in the blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life, are gradually expelled, from the system. For this purpose Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery with very small daily doses ol Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Putgative Pellets sre pre-eminent!j the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from tbe worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of their terms, and by their persevering and somewhat protracted use the most tainted systems may be completely reaovated and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of these great resolvents. DOCTORS COVLD2TT HELP BIM.

TIIE Danbury News Mau says:

One

of tbe most annoying complaints in the range of medical knowledge is a cold In the head. The man with a cold in bis head is a most mournful fabric to contemplate. He loses his interest in everything but a stovo and a handkerchief, and were he called upon to glvf an expression, it would be found that bis idea of benven was a place where stove foundries and cotton mills were about equally divided. His eyes are watery, nis. skin drawn tight to hlW flesh, nis nose is swollen, of a fiery red, and sorer than a strange dog. What he mostly fears is the draft,but in spite of his most active eudeavors he is sure to get into it and he is hardly able to conceal bis surprise at the pressure of business tbe family is subjected to, which keeps the door open about twothirds of the time, and establishes an uninterrupted current ol air about bis legs. Screwed up back of the stove, with his nose like a teacon shining above it, he patiently holds bis handkerchief to the blaze, and finally slips into a mental calculation as to which will first lose its moisture—his cotton or bis blood. There he sits all day,with his handkerchief as a flag of truce, teddered by the fire in his bead to the fire in tbe stove, and at night be goes scudding through a cord hall, sneezing at every leap. Long after every one else is asleep, be starts up with a terrific sneeze, and finds that his feet are sticking out below the quilts, and the handkerchief which he meant to have carefally located for just this emergency, is nowhere to be found. This distressing malady is the Wandering Jew of ailments, ana Invades every household. But the hydra-headed monster is now brought under the most perfect control of medical science, as demonstrated by tbe tbe almost instant relief afforded by snuffing a few spoonfuls of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy liquid, whicb soothes and quenches the feverish heat as if by m»gicf suddenly arresting the frantic rage of thia heretofore untamed barbarian, and in twentyfour to thirty-six hours,
