"If my relatives were a set of parrots,' soliloqulzed Colonel Roslyn Seymour, "with only one set phrase among them, -they coald not echo more persistently, 'You ought to get married you ought to get married l' It's dinned into my ears'from morning until night, and now, positively, if Kitty hasn't taken it up— my favorite sistor, Kitty, who makes it fcer boast that she can twist me round feer finger. ••Pshaw! 'charming woman' "—bis eyes had fallen on a sentence in a letter* •ear him—"they are all charming women, 'Her husband only lived two yearn.* Wbatof that? Poor Luny only lived Shelve months, and I don't want to get •carried again. 'We wero school-fel-lows' 'and Bob has.known her from bis ahlldbood.' That isn saying anything •otuebody has known everybody from their childhood, and 1 haven't such an exauiitid opinion of Mr. Bob's intimates uiy meadlesome tnjukey of a sister fca* l'*'

Colonel Seymour would not have abafed half so sorely under the interfer «nce of bis family bad be not swn that there was some reason for it. His wife, a delicate youug creature, as pretty and about as companionable as a wax doll, had died in giving birth to a daughter, who had been left in the care of her grandmother. A year ago the grandnotber had died, and what to do with the child was a quosiion everyone had answered except the father. "You must marry again," they said hot that was just wha' be didn't want lo ), and be had accepted his sister's Invitation to Ashbrldge Manor, because Kitty never bothered him about this •exert question. "Tralirest!" He bad not a doubt but the upshot of her letter was that thi* Mrs. Coventry was to be there to meet him. He bad a good mind not to go but, then, there was the child, who was to go with him. Kilty bad naked her down, that she iniuht get better ac |u»iuted with her cousins, and had arranged that a new governess was to meet them at the station and take care of Bab during the journey. "Oh, hang tho women he exclaimed, irritably. "I don believe another being on earth is bothered about them as I am. "Hang Mrs. Coventry," he continued "and as for Kitty, confound her and hor echoitie together 1"

Now, It happened that on that same sight and about the same hour, in a cozy Utile boudoir in Kensington Gore, a very good-looking woman sat alone, trying to make up her mind to what seemed to her a desperate action. She, too, was •oliloquizing before ber also lay a letter, and her name was Mrs. Coventry. "It's the same thing invariably—always heralded by my money—and that's what is making Kitty soanxious for me to meet her brother. I'm sure she knew how much I admired him before he married, or I either. But your face was your fortune, then, my dear," Bhe said addressing the charming reflection opposite her. "Now you area rich widow, and its a different matter. I dou't see why it should be though," aud she regarded herself more critically "and as tor hi:n, although she does not know me from Adam, I admire him as much as ••er."

The little slippered feet were stretched out again, and she sat gazlug into the fire. Then, without moving her eyes, the reached ont her hand for the letter, and held it so that it might be read over her shoulder:

"Dear

Helkn Am I not the most un

fortunate person in the world? My counalu's little boy la very unwell with wuat may be a coUl, or the doctor says may turn out a tevcr. Of course, 1 dare uot risk th» children at \shrUlge Manor, but if It proves to be nothing at all, I do not wunt Mrs. Lambton to bo made nervous about having me, so I Intend to write and say that I am detained bv a sprained ankle—fortuuately I have turned my foot aud would you let one of •our servants go to Uolonel Seymour's and iay for me that I am unable to fu flit my ongagement of taking charge of his little gtrl on the louruey I do not know where to address him, or I would not trouble you. My «ou.h1u hss—

But at this point Mrs. Coventry's interest seemed to cease, lor without rereading the rest of the letter, she relapsod Into her study of th«,fir«. Suddenly she rang the befi. "Send Kills to me/' •ho said, and a few mlnutea later her maid appeared. "I have changed my mind about Thursday. I shall go to Ashridge to-morrow by the 11:50 trait). You cau come on by one later.'*

"I'm sure, ma'am, nobody, unless compelled to, would leave their home aacb a day as this," said Ellis, looking out of the window. "It isn't weather fit to send so much as a dog out." "Then tell John that Hex Is to be kept lndoora."

Two bare feet were on the carpet, and Mm. Couventry's decision ww announced hy "Order a cutlet for me before I go, and John is to fetch a goad cab to take cue to the station."

Ellis retired In injured alienoe. She bad her own opinion of thle unwarrantable mystery—It waa something to do with that Miss Hamblm, who was going down as governess to Ashridge Manor, and who was always made a most ridiculous fuss over. Kilts did not see the way clear to punish the two delinquents but aomehfljr revenge rbe'd have. "Not that drew, the serge o»e. Mrs. Coventry's toilet was all Wit completed. "I shall take a bog to put a book aud the aewspaper In, the thick rug, and wear my black bonnet and my .lakin «)oak

Thus attired, behold Mr*. Cfcwatry--already repenting the atepahe bad taken and half inclined to turn back—mteHn* the waiting room of tbe WatarlooSta-

Hon. She wondered should she see Colonel Seymour there. No the room was empty. Very likely, seeing it was such a bad morning, be had given up all thought of coming.

any luquiiy b©0n niftdfl for Miss

Hambliu she said. Not this morning nobody has been inquired for. ... "Lad here o' tbe name o' Hamblio called out 9 porter, against whom she ran. "Yes this lady," said the waitingroom woman, beginning toexplain. But uiatiers buve to go rapidly at railway stations, and before Mrs. Coventry had arranged her plan of action Colonel Seymour had ebakeu ber by the hand, and was pleased to meet her, much obliged for ber venturing out on such a morning, put bis little girl under her care, aud desired the porter to see them to a carriage while he went to get trfieir tickets. Flight was impossible. She had come so far, and now

Bhe

must go on.

An hour later tbe train was crawling slowly past Stillwater. In one corner of tbe carriage, sat Mrs. Coventry, opposite er was Bab, at tbe far end Col. Seymour. lbe usual civilities had been exchanged, aud since then the Colonel bad sat intrenched behind his paper, keeping it up at a screen, under shelter of which he was taking stock of his fair •'Uncommonly tine young woman remarkably good style, too!" And then he shook his head, and sighed compassionately. "Far too pretty to be a governess. If tbey have some of Bob chums down there to stay, there'll be he very deuce to pay at Ashridge Msnor."

At this moment Bab took possession or a seat which Mrs. Coventry bad offered next to her. The movement attracted ber father's attention. What a big girl that child was growing! She would be old enough to bave a governess her self soon! Pshaw! What nonsense next? and a single mau like him, too. That would indeed set peojle talking. Col Seymour laid aside his paper, moved nearer the lady he was observing, and began: "I hope yen are not feeling the cold. That's a famously warm cloak you bave on."

Tbe cloak was a handsome sealskin dolman. Good gracious! His voice seemed rather pointed. Did he think it too handsome for a governess to wear? To allay bis suspicions, if he had any, ttiie said: "It i» Mrs. Coventry's eloak she was afraid I might feel cold, and lent it to "'of course he remembered who Mrs. Coventry was, her great friend Kitty nad told hiuithatit was she who had recommended her.

Mm. Coventry rose full fifty feet in tbe Colonel's estimation. "Ah," he tnought, "now that's a very kind action," aud be smiled approvingly, as he said: "My sister tells me that Mrs. Coven try is oharming—very nice?" and he looked as if expecting to hear an emphatic affirmation. •Yes—on—I bave known her so long that I am hardly able to nay. She has a great many friends." In what a «ad voice she said tbat. Poor girl! The Colonel lelt quite touched, and drew nearer still, aijA to explain his reason for doiug so belaid he felt a draught from tbe window. "Won't you bave your rug?" she said, taking one from Bab, and wrapping her iu half her own. "Your little girl and I will share this one."

Colonel Seymour protested, but allowed his scruples to be overcome. "I don't-think you know Mrs. Lambton, my sister, do you?" "Issbaatall like you?" asked Mrs. Coventry, evasively. The Colonel smiled. "Some people think so," be said, tie was not at all displeased at the way she had asked the question there was a look in her race which gave point to inquiry. "Mrs. Coventry thinks Mrs. Lambton is so handsome,'* she said naively. "Mrs. Coventry herself is very goodlooking, isn't she?" "Ob, she has a lot of money, you know," aud she smiled rather ^uieaniugly. •'Not a tenth part so pretty as you are, I'll take odds," thought the Colouel,but aloud he said: "I abominate women with money."

No really do you?" and she sighed audibly. "I thought tbat was all men cared women to have. "I sure you're not speaking from experience now," said the Colonel gal-

l6"ll"ow

do jou know?" She spoke

sbarply, and looked the Colonel so straight in the face that he stammered*. "Oh—I am—judging from appearanc**." "Very unbound polleys'4*^People often are not in tbe least what they seem to be," and she opened a paper as if she intended to read. "Oh, ob! we have claws under our velvety paws, have we?" thought tbe Colonel and then he betook himself to his paper, and on tbey went in silence. "Dear me, the train seems to have come to a standstill!"' It was past 3 clock—they been due at Asbridge an hour ago Mrs. Coventry felt her courage rapidly ebbing.

We've chosen a cbeerfnl day to make onr louruey on," Col. Seymour said with a vain attempt to nee the obstruction. The windows are blocked with snow tbe carriage was all but dark. "What can it be?' she asked anxiously. "i really wish we were all back at home again."

Well, I don't fancy that would mend matters much In ray case. My bouse at present is all sixes and sevens they're having a general scrimmage there to see who shall be master." "Is that why Mrs. Lambton wants yon to—" She stopped, her eves had fallen on Bab. "Quite right—little pitchers sometimes have long ears. So my sister acquaint ed i.tnu Coventry, did she, with ber philanthropic views regarding my future?'' "Yes, and she told you that Mrs. Coventry tad lots of ironey, didn't she?" "Ctertalnly. Oh. the whole thing 1* arranged charmingly! Yon will be asked to witness a tableau vtvanf we shall play to gether." .. "We! What, you and Mrs. Coventry? You are sure of her consent then "Certain—when 1 ask it, which, with all due respect to the lady, I bave not the slightest intention of doing." "No? I thougt that It was because you had made up your mind to marry that she had been asked to meet you." "On the contrary my sister seems to think that the lair widow Intends taking to herself another husband, and baa J" arranged that I should meet ber. Wicked little Intriguer, 1* waa only at the eleventh boor she permitted her band to be seen, and then it was too late to change my plans, or I should not have had the felicity of making this Journey In your company."

"Upon my word, you are tbe very pluckiest woman I ever knew In all my life!" Colonel Seymour said enthusiastically.

He, Bab and Mrs. Coventry were getting thawed before a roaring tire in tbe waiting room of Yeobury station. Although it bad struck eight o'clock, tbey had reached no further and considering tbat their last four hours had bee a speut ail but buried iu a snow drift, from which with difficulty tbey had been dug out, thankful indeed did tbey feel that they bad reached a haven of safety. Bab was tbe only one of tbe three who had bad anything to eat since tbe trfornlug. "We can do better without food than a child can," Mrs. Coveutry had said iusisting that ber saudwicbes should fall to Bab'a share—and after this she had taken Bab on her lap to keep ber warm, and tbe child, growing drowsy, bad fallen asleep in ber arms.

The time, after all, did not seem so very loug, snd Mrs. Coventry was sensible of a certain amount of exhilaration produced by a spirit of adventure. There was, howevei, dismay when it was discovered that further progress was impossible for that night. The station waa seme distance from tbe town to get to the hotel was not practicable. "But really, considering all things, I tbink we ought to look upon ourselves as very lucky to be where we are," saiu the Colouel, who undertook to make up a bed composed of rugs and wraps lu t'-e ladies' waiting room, where Bab and Mrs. Coventry might sleep as suualy as dormice, while he and the porter iu change, who had provided thom with tea, kept watch by the general r-om fire. In the morning early tbe Colonel would start off to find out If tbev coujd uot reach Ashbiidge by driving'across country, as uo train went on there before,eleven o'clock,

Mrs. Coventry shut tbe door and sat down to consider. Surely no woman in the world h*d ever done anything so rash, so foolish, so utterly uufeminlne before! What could have possessed ber? She- must bave been mad. Ob. if she could but avoid meeting him—get back to Loudon—home—anywhere so as to escape tbe denouement which would take place on the very threshold of Ashbridge Manor!

Sleep! She never closed ber eyes, and the hours seemed interminable before Colonel.Seymour set off in quest of a carriage. Some fresh bands had come to relieve the porters who had been on night duty aud, sbutting the door on tbe still sleeping Bab, Mrs. Coventry addressed one of these: "At what time is theito a train to London "The first train will pnll up here by signal in twenty minutes, ma'am." "Can you stop it "Certainly, ma'am." Yes, it was a half sovereign she had given him. "Do you want me to take a ticket for you "I do. There is money, and presently I will giveryou a note to give to a gentleman who will come for the little glil In the ladies'waiting-room."

Off went the man, and down sat Mrs. Coventry to scribble the incoherent epistle which she was to leave for Colonel Seymour: "Circumstances have occured which make it impossible for me to go on to Asbbridge Manor. Will you do me the great favor of not saying that I tr veled with you thus far? 1 shall get Mrs. Coventry to give Mrs. Lambton reasons which I know will perfectly satisfy her." 1

IV.

"And you say tbat the lady has gone?" "Yes, sir by tbe8:40." The note bad been delivered, and Colone'JSeymour was striving to combxt with an iutense deshe to kick somebody.

What on earth was the meauiug of it? Wby'couldu't she stay Why mustsbe go What bad Mrs. Coventry got to do with it? If it hadn't been for Bab the Colonel would have- gone back to London too. Oh, bang the woman If she didn't want to go on, what did she come for? And in a very bad humor with everything and everybody, he bundled his little daughter into tbe carriage and away they went to Asbbridge Manor.

If Colonel Seymour had anathematized tbe snow before, he bad reason to bless it for the interest ctiused by their «dv«uture—the anftlety expressed and the affection shown—did away wiin all necessity for deception. Miss Hamblin's name was not mentioned, nor waaiany allusion made to ber uutil luncheon. "I say, what has become of tbe new governess?" asked Mr. Lambton. "I thought she wai to have arrived with you." "My dear Bob, who could expect her in such weather I suppose," and Kitty turned to her brother, "you didn't even inquire for her at the station

I told Steveus to," was the Colonel's answer. "Oh, I never expected her. If she is staying with Mrs. Coventry I know she wouldu't let her come. SbeV quite a treasure," she added triumphantly "very highly edusated, and so nice and clever."

And awfully good-looking, we hear.^ This was from Lambton. "That's nothing to do with it," said his wife, trying to speak severely. "Oh, basn't it, though! Charteris wants to know it, instead of going to a 'coach,'she could give him some lessons here."

Kitty began to langh, but stopped suddenly on her brother saying, "Is that fool of a fellow idling about here still "He's not doing any harm," said Kitty, apologetically. •'Only ready to burst out the stronger when opportunity occurs," put in Bob maliciously. '"Kitty shouldn't have let out that Mrs. Coventry was coming." "By the way," asked the Colonel, "when do you expect ber?" "To-morrow. I hope she won't be stopped by tbi» weather. Perhaps had better write to her?"

Although the words were said as a question, Colonel Seymour vouchsafed no answer. He seemed preoccupied, and professed himself tired. "I think something's up with Roslyn," Bob ventured to say, going into bis wife's room before dinner. "He does not seem himself, does he?"

Kitty sighed dismally. "I don't know," she said, holding out a telegram. "Read that from Helen Coventry—isn't It too provoking?" "•Miss Hamblln has sprained her ankle and cannot come. Her sister's children have the measles. I must defer my visit for fear of giving infection. Will write later.' "Wbew!" said Bob. "What does Helen mean Is she with them, or are thev with her?" ""Who can tell? And Roslyn here! The pains I have taken to bring these together! I always dreaded that he wouldn't co*ne, but I felt certain of her." »0h, Roslyn," said Mrs. Lambton In the drawing room, "I bave had such a disappointment," and she handed the telegram to her brother. "Isn't it provoking?" "Very."

Just as she thought. It was nothing to him, and she bad best not say too much about Mrs. Coventry, or he'd take a dislike to her. However, she launched into a history of Miss Hamblln, which lasted until tbey went down to dinner —such a aloe girl so well connected Mrs. Coventry was so fond of her.

And now those tiresome children most

go and catch the measles. What was aae to do "Uould I be of any service to you in seeing about ber?" Surprise made Kitty's eyes open wide. "I bave to go to London

some business, and I might

go to Mrs. Coventry and inquire from her." Kitty's feet went plt-a pat under the table. Her inclination was to jump up and execute a saraband. "Oh, but I don't Use to trouble you," said tbe little deceiver. "It's very kind. No." "But why no?" put in the Colonel energeticslly. "I have nothing much to do, and supposing it to be an exaggerated fear, well, I might bring Mrs. Coventry down with me."

Kitty dared not look up, because that wretched Bob, under the pretense of picking up something, contrived a violent pull at her gown. Fortunately the Colonel went on with his dinner while waiting for an answer. "I might give you a note to Helen," Kitty began. "Or to Miss Hamblln," put in tbe Colonel. "Wouldn't that be better "When did you think of going?" "Oh, It must be to-morrow."

A diversion was here affected by Bob suddenly choking—something had gone the wrong way, he said. His recovery led to the recital of various similar calamities, and without returning to the former subject Mr®. Lambton left the dinner table., 1

"Pull up here. That will do." Colonel Seymour was Indicating the Albert Hall with his umbrella. A few steps would bring him to tbe door ot Mrs. Coventry's bouse, and for the first time it seemed to strike him tbat he did not quite know what he waa going there for. True that in his pocket be bad two letters, but to deliver them wsscertaiBly not tbe purport of his visit. No the thought of that aggravating youug woman had bothered and worried him so tbat he felt, come what might, be must know why she had uot gone on. Was she angry, annoyed A consciousness^ which he wished to ignore, re minded him of tbe holding of the bsnd and the parting look be had given ber but, then, pretty women must know that men look at them. Only he wished to feel that he had not offended her—to assure her that it was quite impossible for auy one to have witnessed, such courage and self-command as she bad displayed without feeling intense admiration, more particularly hi uself because he had always been brought In oontacl with such very helpless women.

Confound It! The knocker wasn't out of bis hand before tbe door was opened. Who should be ask for "Is Mrs. Coventry at home "Yes, sir."

Good heavens! what should he do? The mau decided for him by sbutting the door and leading the way up stairs. "Beg your parden, ma'am, I did not know you were here," and as his apology for entering the room rather abruptly he drew back and announced "Colonel Roslyn Seymour."

Mrs. Coventry .started as if to get up, and then sat down. Colouel Seyrrour baited to give the servant time to withdraw, and then went hurriedly up to her. "XbiB lo good luck, Indeed," he exclaimed. I came to see you, but 1 bad not a hope of finaiug you alone. And now before any one comes in, tell me what made you go off in that mad way? I bave not been able to rest since I so awfullyafraid that by soma uulucky meaus I managed to offend you."

A shake of her head was the only reply she had not looked up, so she could not see how fixed he was looking down

at"Ih'ope

you are assured that I would

not do that," he continued, "I can not. tell you how the bare idea has distressed me. My sister was in despair at the telegram, and I was only too happy to make it an opportunity of seeing you. You may imagine my anxiety to come, when I offered to take back with me Mrs. Coventry."

Two pretty bands were put up to cover the confusion of a very red face. "1 am Mrs. Coventry," came forth in a whisper.

Tne Colonel drew back and stared at her, while sue, feeling a staighforward confussien was tbe only way of maintaining the little rag of her dignity left, stood up and began speaking hurriedly: "Colonel Seymour, I dou't know what you must tbink of me, but tbe whole thing was on my part a sort of a practital joke. Your sister, you know, wrote to rue. and Miss Hamblln was to have traveled down with you. At the last moment she was unable to go, and some madness prompted me to pass myself off iu her place. Oh! you don't kuow how distressed I was! I couldn't tell you what I have suffered! I shall never for-

f,ambton

ive myself—never! Of course, Mrs. must know, nnd what will she in

And the heightened color and the brown eyes swimming in tears made her seem so lovely tbat the Colonel was forced into saying, "Well, I'm afraid If I told you now it would make you very angry. But you are maklng^a great deal too much of nothing at all. Why need any one be told I am tbe only one," be continued, "who ought to be distressed to think I have fallen a victim to the charms of a lady who does not exist." "Yes. but she does—there is a Miss Hamblm."

He shook his head dismally. "Alas!" he said, "there is a Mrs. Coventry!"

And then they looked at each other, and both began to laugh. "Ob, that Kitty!" ssid tbe Colonel. "Isn't she shameful? I know now that she made both believe each of us was dying to marry the otbe\ "And 111 tell you what we'll do," said tbe Colonel. "Let us, in turn, play her a trick, withoat informing her tbat we've ever met before—go down there together»" "It would serve her tight, but—" and then there came a recapitulation of repentance for her escapade, and this led to the motives each had for distrust and su-plcion so tbat by the time one o'clock struck tbey had grown quite confidential Colonel Seymour had heard how, when years ago be had come to see Kitty at schaol, all the girls bad—traightway fallen in love with her brother! "Yes, but you were not among them?" he asked, pointedly. "Oh, indeed I waa, and did my very utmost to make myself most conspionous. Of no use you passed without throwing a second glance in my direction." "Impossible!" "Nothing of tbe sort. Besides, after tbat, we met many times in society."

But tbla the Colonel denied at all risks. No earthly power would induce him to believe be bad ever met Mrs. Covent.y if so. he must—he ehoold— be could not help remembering her.

He stayed to luncheon, be came ba to afternoon tea, and sat boor after bonr chatting, in tbe vain hope tbat Mrs. Coventry might be driven into asking him to dinner but as she was resolved not to do this, be bad to frame an exewe for reappearing early

day, when she consented to trave.1 again to Ashridge Manor iu bis company. And to prove him equal to profiting by opportunity, wb*n, radiant with the hope tbat her cheru-h^d scneine was beginning to work satisfactorily, Mrs. Lambton ran to embrace him, a whisper made her exclaim:

Ypu dou mean it'B settled No. not really—it isn possible Nelly, says it's true Why, how did it happen "Oh, quite in tbe usual way." And Colonel Seymour begau laughing, while Mrs. Coventry murmured something uu intelligible. "But I uever knpw anything so delightful, so romantic! Love at first sight, evideutly!" And, then, with another shower of kisses on the fair face before ber, she added, "1 must say, Roslyn, that you area bold man." "Certainly, my dear it's my trade— I'm a soldier." "Yes, but to propose like this, at once -and to Nelly, wb« is so particular. Well, if I'd beeu asked, I should have »aid vou were mad "So I am. Havu't I a reason to be?" "Yes, but Nelly 1" "Oh, I've been bewitched, evidently said Mrs. Coventry. "1 feel that I must be somebody el«e. I don't know who, but it can't be Helen Coventry "Why, there, that's ber!" exclaimed ungrammatical little Bab, whom the sound of ber father's voice had brought down. "She's the lady who was in the train—didn't I tell you so?"

Mrs. Lampton stretched out her hands, more mystified than ever. "What does it all mean

But Colonel Seymour had caught up the child, and was holding her towards Mrs. Coventry, sayiugtbat this lady had promised to be ber new mother hen grasping his sister by tbe arm be said, "Don't ask any more questions now, Kitty. You shall be told the whole story only keep in your curiosity until we three can sit down quietly together, and we'll let you into tbe whole mystery."

WHAT TO DO TILL THE DOCTOR COMES. In frost bites use gentle friction In a warm room, using enough cold water to prevent too rapid reaction and consequent pain In the affected part. If very severe a, physician suould be called, aa gangreue may follow.

When a fishhook has entered any part of the body cut off the line, file off tbe flattened end and pass tbe hook on through the flesh as you would a needle in sewing.'

When persons have fainted lay them drwu with the head as low as ptssible loosen tbe clothing Keep back crowding that wonld interfere with plenty of fresh air sprinkle water over the lace apply hartshorn to tbe nose, and if too long in recovering consciousness place heated cloths or plates over the stomach.

Croup attacks childien st night, and is distinguished by a peculiar barking souud. One of the earliest symptoms is hoarseness. Apply hot waier to the throat for fifteen or twenty minutes with a sponge or hot cloth, and give powdered alum mixed with syrup in half teaspoonful doses, repeated every twenty minutes until vomiting takfs place. Keep the child warm, so that sweating may be induced.

Children are apt to shove up their noses small bodies of different sorts, which may cause serious trouble unless soon removed. This may be effected by vigorously blowing the nose or bv related sneezing, produced by snuff, or oy tickling the nose with a feather. If these fail a hairpin may be carefully tried.

When

a splinter In the eye cannot bo

removed, bathe in cold water and bandage looselv, so as to keep tbe eye as quiet as 'possible until the surgeon arrives. ___________
