A RBV FOR HKLP.

'Ain I an intruder, young ladies?'asked Mr. Clyde, making his appearance just at that moment. 'Oh, oo quite the contrary!' and Julia delightedly slipped her, band through his arm. "I never was more glad to see it protector than at this minute!' 'Aprotictor! Against who or what am I to proteot you? The headless horseman who takes his spectral rounds twice or thrico a week in these woods? or, have you been frightened by any one? I could hare fancied but now that I heard ft shriok!^

He gnzei suspiciously Into the faces of the agitated girls. Holena drew down her veil and walked on without replying. "It was I," was Julia's ready reply. "You know I atn so easily terrified a sound in the bushes, or the report of a gun, or anything else, however trifling, makes me nervous for an hour!'

Mr. Clyde looked bat half satisfied with this evasive speech a ad for awhile thev sauntered on, somewhat languidly discussing the weather. "Are we detaining you?" Miss Ashley asked, pointing to bis gun. 'No I am not in the mood for winging "birds. A half day. onoe or twice in the soaaon, is about all I indulgo myself in. and then it Is far loss for the pleasure or carrying home a well filled game bag than to wander in this lovely wood!'

Helena smiled she could enter into bis appreciation of its beauties but Julia curled her pretty lip. 'It is a pleasure one soon gets tired of. After all, the country is wretchedly dull: and Courton is worse than my own borne How glad poor, dear mother will bo to tiee mo hack! I shall take her quite by surprise!' 'Then you are going to leave us?' and ho spoke regretfully. '.Yes, in a few days, or a week, at the furthest. Shall you really feel aorry when 1 leave herein 'Very!'

She looked up Infiis'faoe wUh an afr of pH»aaed surprise and Helena quickened her steps.

She had often longod to put, and yet dreaded to hear the answer to that question. Her own heart throbbed and nched whenever she anticipated It, although It could bo naught to her.

Waiter Clyde oould never, never be more to her than a dear and treasured friend and did she not nightly put up fervent prayers for his safety and his happiness? 'Yes, Miss Ashley, very sorry, indeed, for we shall miss you much? At theavme time, I oamtnenu your decision, for—I may speak freely, may I not?—you have been somewhat oblivious of the claims others may have on your Booiety and affections.' 'Claims!' she repeated, half inclined to be angry tbit ho should thus potutodly allude to Fred Wynne 'perhaps you are mistaken In supposing that any one a claim upon my affections!'

He

smiled.

'Do you know that I pique myself upon being an accurate observer and I can often give a shrewd guess at much which Is—as you and others flatter your-, selves—carefully hidden from *11 curi­

•You are talking In riddles now,' cried Julia, laughing and oolorioa 'and you shall never tell my fortune—! should be afraid you would tell It too truly.'

She waa right. He knew her better thau she knew herself. A devoted J»drolrer of everything beautiful in nature, it gratified him to watch her graoeful movements, and the ever varying ex-

But if it had not been to, nothing would have tempted Walter Clyde to make that woman his wife who sullied the fairest bloom of her maiden purity toy lightly permitting the touch or the kiss of anothor. And, as they drew nearer to the cattage he insensibly approached Helena, whoso composure had now

Fred Wynne's brow relaxed. 'In a week! Then you had made arrangements lor corning back to nsT! a fi •.

Come

Finding her politely resolute, he ceased to press his own wishes, and departed leaving Fred Wynne to fill up the gap caused by bis absenee. This be appeared to do tolerably well, for Julia became verv gracious, mid condescended to con fess" that she was homesick. It was therefore soon decided that the young man should spend a day or two at the cottage and from iienco pro.eod to London where he bad business to transact, and call for his t-ctroth3d on his return.

It may seem to town readers but a strange mauuer of commencing a pleasant evening, to pin np skirts, li«ht Ianterns, and prepare for a dark and frequently a muddy walk of two miles. But in these necludcd di^triots, where cabs are unknown luxuries, and even a lly is a rarity, and too expensive for any to venture upon but the resident gentry something must be braved to secure friendly intercouise and the Asbleys were now initiated into the mannersand customs of the natives.

In "pite of the prudent Bessie's suggestions, Julia had insisted upon regularly dressing for the occasion and although her light, gauzy robe and flower wreathed hair formed a marked contrast to the quiet, dark silk of her sister-in-law, she looked so charming that Fred Wynne was in rapture, and even her brother nodded approbation.

Bidding Helena affectionate farewells, and then lingering to hear her repeat her assurances that she should not feel lonely, tho„ party made their way to Courton^

t.

At the request of Mr. Clyde, Mrs. Ashley was to tako the head of his tea table. Iu consequence, they were early, and their boat was in the hall, deep some business cUsousslon with a gentleman.

Julia almost instantly recognized Mr. Richard Dalby but it was with the most perfect nonohalanoe that she stood permitting Fred Wynne's rather clumsy efforts to disincumber her of her wraps.

Mr. Dalby said a hasty good-night to Walter, ana instantly begged that he might not detain him away from his friends. Yet be lingered long enough to button a troublesome glove, while Mr. Clyde cordially greeted them, and privately said to Mrs. Ashley, "Then Helena—Miss 3ecil, I mean—oould not possibly be persuaded to como? I wonder why she refused? Can you form any idea?"

Indeed, I cannot. Her obstinacy vexed me, and it will takeaway much of my enjoyment to know she is sitting in the lonely cottage, with no better society than a sleeping child.'

A touch upon Mr. Clyde's arm made him look round. It was Mr. Richard Dalby. "Excuse me, old fellow, but I think I know these friends of yours by sight that night at the station, you know it is tbo same agreeable young lady, is it not? Pray introduce me."

Very unwillingly his host complied and Julia Ashley, with a demure courtesy, coldly repeated her acknowledgment of the service he had once rendered her, and passed into the sitting room leaning on tbe arm of her lover,

Her behavior would really have been propriety Itself, bad not some unlucky spirit of mischief led her to take a backward glance over her shoulder and Mr. Richard Dalby. amused at what he chose to consider a challenge, smiled and nodded signifloautly, ana wafted a kiss toward her from the tips of his fin-

gers. Unaware that the mirror on the opposite wall had revealed these proceedings to the jealous eyes of Fred Wynne, the young lady entered into all the gayeties of the evening. Of these, Mr. Richard Dal by also hinted some desire to bo a partaker but the invitation be almost compelled Mr. Clyde to utter was spoken so very coldly that, after a little hesitation, he naughtily refused it, and departed.

In the meantime, the porter to whom may it never reach the ears of the stern directors!—^the care of the station was intrusted during Mr. Ashley's absence, bad carried plenty of coals and wood into the oottage, and civilly offered to keep within call, if Miss Cecil felt at ail timid.

Bat, assuring him to the contrary, she thanked and dismissed him. With little Harry she played until he grew weary, and permitted himself to be sung to sleep and laid in his little oot. Then, drawing a table near the fire, she looked out the newest periodicals, and determined to divert her thoughts from all unpleasant subjects bv nerusing them.

It was "long after midnight, and the clouded sky was intensely dark, whan the party returned, each of them in the highest spirits, except Fred, who attributed his silence ana moodiness to a severe headache.

The nioreel of candle In their lantern had gone out when they were about half way home, and Mr. Ashlety, groping way ahfead, alfoost fell over ise potter, who

JJr. Wynne, I can only ofler yon a hearty welcome, with such poor entertainment as my old servant and I can muster but it will greatly please me to see yon.'

After some little demur, the invitations were accepted by all but Helena, who had nevtr entered Courton slnco the memorable evening of her first visit there and not even Mr. Clyde's entreaties—although earnestly urged—prevailed ofl her.

She would remain at home, she said, and take charge of little Harry. With him to watch, and some interesting volume to peruse, the time would quickly pass away.

By this time Mrs. Ashley had reached the door, and lifted tbe lateh. But all was so still and gloomy within that she feared to cross tbe threshold. 'My boy! my boy! Oh, Chades, is hesafe?' •Safe?—yes, of course he is. Hark! I can hear the young Turk whimpering now. Do you think Miss Cecil really has gone to bed, Bessie? It seems an odd thing fbr her to do before we returned.'

But Mrs. Ashley's heart miserave her too murJn for her to.frame a ooherent ra-

Reeling his way into the houso, her husband called Helena—first gently, and then very loudly. There was no response, save the fretting of tbe child, who cried sleepily, as if their voices from without aroused him from bis slumbers. 'Fetch us alight from the offi&,* Tom will you? Be as quick as you can now there's a good fellow for Mr. Ashley began to feel exceedingly uncomforta ble.

Too impatient to await the return of the man, he continued to advance into the dark and silent room.

And now something cracked and broke into fragments beneath bis foot. It was the glass of the center lamp, as be ascertained by stooping and picking up some of the fragments.

Another step, and hestumbled against tbe overturned table. Had there been a struggle here? Had burglars entered tbe cottxpe during his absence? And, if so, where was Helena?

Coming thus unexpectedly in contact with the table had brought him down on one knen before he oould recover nis equilibrium. He extended his hands

His own looked fearfully ghastly as he bounded out into the porch, where the light of the approaching lantern shone upon it. •Keep back, Bessie! Jnlia, keep back! I insist that you wait until we have been in.'

Faint and sick with fearful apprehension, tbe trembling women clung to each other.

They listened intently. They saw through the. half opened door Fred Wynne and the porter, with hastily smothered exclamations, bend over a prostrate form beside the hearth while Mr. Ashley hastened to procure more light.

At last the words spoken by someone, 'She is not dead she nai ouly fainted.'' 'Lay ber upon that sofa,' said the station master, in relieved tones. 'You may come in now, both of you. I think that we are all more frightened than the occa sion warranted. Miss Cecil has fainted, and in falling has overset the table. Look, Bessie—there lie the remsins of your treasured lamp.'

Mrs. Ashley threw off ber shawl, and began to busy herself about the insensible girl. But for quite along time her efforts and Julia's were equally unsuccessful. •I cannot understand it at all,' she said despairingly. 'This is not like a common fainting fit, but more closely resembles the unconsciousness I have seen follow a violent blow.'

Her husband started. He remembered tbe porter's assertion about the cry for help, and the closing of the garden gate. Had the enemy of Helena found her out and taken advantage of her loneliness to attack her?

But nqw her lips moved, and, raising up her hands to her temple, she moaned as if in great pain. 'Oh, mercy!'exclaimed Julia, examining tbe forehead she was bathing 'poor Nelly must have struck ber bead against something. See how fearfully it is discolored.'

There was indeed a broad, livid mark upon it, evidently produced by a fall, or —and to this idea Mr. Ashley inclined— a blow.

While they stood anxiously watching her, those dark eyes opened with a wild, scared look within them 4s9nSfami-: liftr face after another bent over and' spoke to her, this disappeared, and she soon sat up, and slowly collected her scattered thoughts. •Who has bevn here, Miss Cecil! Has some one been here and alarmed yon?'

Sho grasped Mrs. Ashley's dress, and her glancS of feat: again WaBaered around the cottage. ..'Yes, I heard his step without, and, thinking that you had returned earlier than jou had intended, flung open the door/-

Her voice died away, and she hid her (ace on Julia's shoulder. 'Some scoundrel or other, suppose*, who bad discovered that she Was alone,' was tbe comment of Fred Wynne. •Poor love,' said Bessie, kindly 'bow sorry I am tbst we left jou!. Did the man use any threats?' 'I refused to listen to him,v Helena continued, excitedly. "I bade him go, and I also warned him that there waa some one at hand who would protect me and when he persisted in entering the room, I cried loudly for help. I! Saw him raise his hand, but I remember no more' 'Dastardly rascal!' muttered Mr. Ashley. 'Can you give us any description of tbe fellow?'

She raised her head, and gazed at tbo speaker. 'What would you odt Seek tor him and punish him?' 'Most assuredly so. Would you have me to overlook such an outrage as this —and committed, too, under my own roof?'

With a heavy sigh she dropped ber head upon ber hands, hut made no rearound her in mnte

'This indeed a vwy^unsatiafiactorj State of things, Miss Oedl. Howis it to end?*

She could not repreas a wail of despair. 'Only with my Ufo—only with my lifel' Julia tenderly led her away and tbe Ash leys, after sitting up until It was nearly daybreak, conversing and forming probable and improbable eanjecturea, finally agreed that if Helena persisted in preserving ailesce the only co urea tbey aould adopt waa to imitate her reaervej. and keep a better watch over ber safety for the lutnre.

Tbe day following tbeit* was a fog—a dense, yellow fog—out of doors, and yawns and depressed looks within.

Helena, though paler than usual, went about the bouao uncomplainingly, with placid composure. Every one else waa enduring ibe-reaction consequent upon want of rest, and perhaps suffering, in a greater or less degree, from the headaches' commonly engendered by the hot room and profuse hospitality of country -merry makings.

Mrs. Ashley wisely drew from the depths of her work casket some odds and ends wbiuh required but little attention, and took up a oomfortable position in an easy chair by the fire. Ashley imitated her in tbe office, where he alternated little apells of writing with long spells of sleep.

Fred Wynne had disappeared a3 soon as he arose in the morning, without saying whither he was going or when he proposed returning.

This unuaual independence annoyed and perplexed Julia, who, pettishly comolaining that the 'liouae waa so dull it affected her spirits, snatched up little Harrys and, wrapping a large traveling cloak around him and herself, ssoended to the platform, to see if any amusement con Id be extracted there.

Mors than two hours had elapsed, when shfe-rStu fried, fadiant with mirth. 'I shall not want for amusement now, while Fred is in London. There is a new arrival in Courton. Do you hear, Beaskr •Ah, yes. What is it, dear?' 'It/

Bessie began to be a little—

least in the world—interested.

'And he has quite won Charlie's heart by kindly offering to show him how to tune that great noisy brass instrument of bis. I wouldn't allow that if I were yon, Bessie.'

Bessie cast a glance at the abused cornopean. il don't mind tbe noise' atallA 'Placid creature! How conveniently deaf you can be! I wonder whether 1 shall'ever ba such a pattern wife. There is one comfort^ Fred has no ear for music. Well, you'll see my nice man this evening.1 'Indeed! And we haven't a bit of anything in tha bouse for supper. What made you invite him, child?'

Julia lifted her hands, as though horrified. uo think that I should take such a liberty! It is all Charlie's doings—scold him!1 'I do not intend to scold any one and Bessie smiled upon her husband, who entered just then. 'But is it true, love, that a stranger is coming? You do not often ask people here whom you do not know.'

Ashley rubbed his forehead thoughtfully. "Really, dear, I cannot be certain whether I invited him or he invited himself. Certainly I do not care to make sach acquaintances but, by his free and off hand manners, and his very pleasant way of entering into and appearing to share one's interest in different topica, I have been beguiled out of my usual caution.' •You speak rather strangely,' his wife observed. •Because I do not feel entirely satisfied with him, and am half angry with myself." 'What, for the simple actionof kindly permitting a sttanger to take A seat among us for aa hour or two? This Is being too particular, Charlie, dear. We need not invito him again. Is be staying at Courton?' •I think so. But he wai not very communicative about bis own affairs, although deucedly inquisitive in regard to other people's.'

A Great Remedy I

MR. LUTES or this city h&s had for Wveral years a receipt for tbe cure of Rheumatism, which is a quiok and sure care for this terrible affliction.
