My Jem.

[Kmlly Heed In 'Deccmljer (Jodey'*,] Tlwy were a merry sot, the three of them,"ready for Hport or an adventure and my cottage was a home to them.

My lather was bailif! for okl Sir John, for over twenty years and he, Sir John, I mean, got tny brother Jem a berth as midshipman in the KuV-J Navy.

Thoru wa* nothing but lighting then which Jem said gained him promotion. But he also gained his death, poor lad! for he was killed by a cutlass wound. He lived long enouj. to send his love to his young wife, anu to say he died content, since ho had

Keen

J)o Grasse give up

hl« sword to Admiral Rodney, on the quarter-deck of the Formidable, Jem's own ship. A line sight, no doubt but 1 would rather have seen Jem well and hearty, since he was the only one of kin to me.

His wife did not tarry long behind him, and when dying, she put into my empty arms another'Jem to fondle and love.

Jem was very proud of his father's bravo death: and so

WHS

Master Brydges,

who by his father, was a far-oil cousin to the great Admiral. For rriy*elf. I had been Lady Ann's play fellow, and then her humble friend, though she often called me proud and pertinacious.

After her marriago, Lady

Ann was much in London, Sir John being in Parliament .and Master Brydges was left to my care, at tho cottage.

As for Mistress Lois, Lady Ann's niece, she, like n3' Jem, was motherless, and given into my keeping, Lady Ann, not cttring for tbe trouble of a baby. Jem vvas three years old then, and a sturdy little villain, never quiet indoors so 1 was not sorry to have a bonny girl for a plaything for him. But of the three, •m she gave me tho moat trouble, since there spw no form of pox she did not take, as

Well as chin-cough and rashosof all worts. But she battled with them all, and grew into as sweet and comely a lass as the doar Lord over made and the two lads just worshiped her.

It's poor pay bringing up other folks' children, as 1 found. For, Sir George dying—he was killed by a fall while hunting—Lady Ann came to the Hall to live, and being a young widow, and Master Brydges a mere lad, she was too wise to risk a second marriage, si-nce she liked her freedom, and knew a patch is likely to make a bigger rent.

So Master Brydges did not stay at the cottage more than a few weeks at a time when Lady Ann went to visit London.

When Mistress Lois was old enough to learn books, tho two left me, and yet as I said, the cottage was always home to them.

As to Jem, they were never willing to •do without him. I remember the day as If it were yes terday, when Mistress Loin came to tell ine she had coaxed Lady Ann to lot her have her birthday feast at the cottage. She would be seventeen and her next birthday was to be kept by a great ball at the liall, when all the gentry of the country were to bo asked. So Tady Ann let her have her way with this lesser feast all tho more freely since only Master Brydges ami tnv Jem were to share it.

The lass had taken a wish to borrow my kitchen, and with Master Brydges' and Jem's help she was to cook the dishes. Poor cooks they proved to be, which added to their merriment and I, poor fool, was as gay as they were, since 1 did not see a Anger's length before me. But such blindness may be a mercy, for often if we saw the endingof the day we would have no heart to txigin it.

But I am wandering from my uuerry lambs, who would make a joke of everything, even of tho dull business of clearing away all tokens ot the feasi. Mis* tress Lois had her sleeves well lacked un, showing her lino shapely arms, as white as lamb's lleece, and with two dimples in each elbow. She did a deal of jolting at the lads, who were uncommonly awkward, ruethought, because they had only eyes for her prettlnoss, so were of small help.

They were a trifle noisy, for the rafters of the'old kitchen sent back their laughter—when suddenly there came a ilaah of lightning that made all three look pale as goshts and then a crash of thunder that seemed to bring the roof about our beads. Afterwards the rain came down like a second deluge. But though violent, the storm passed quickly by, and the sun came out to set royally in purple a

But the storm ended the frolic, and Mistress Lois was in haste to go. as she wonld fain cross the ford by daylight, so that thev might see the stepping atones. "For, 1 care not for a wet foot," she said.

Jem promised to carry her over dryshod but she said she was no longer a baby, being seventeen.

I would have kept them at the Cottage all night, reminding them it would not be their first sleeping unaer the old roof. But Master Brydgos wa* sure Lady Ann would'look for theia and so—well, why should not I own the truth that I saw no danger, never having known the stepping stones at the ford to be covered, save after along spring rain, when tbe enow in the hills melted and did lis part to swell the river. Audi as to danger, it bad been along day since any one had been drowned at the ford} not since I watt a wee one, and then itwa* a stranger who knew naught of the steppiog-«lone.

I stood watching them crossing the place. My Jem *w leading the way, and Mis trees Lois, lithe and bonny, cam© aftor him, then Matter Brydge*.

I could hear their voice* long after they were out of sight, the evening wa# »o Jltill.

I went back to my snug parlor, calling to Jenny to bring a log to cast on the fire, for I was chilled standing in the open doorway. Afterwards I was glad of tbe fire blaze, though at the time I was thinking only of my own comfort.

It was cheerful as I sat there spinning by the fire-light the kettle boiling merrily, waiting for Jem to come back for a CUD of tea and a cricket singing now and then, as if ashamed of its shrill song.

Soon it was too dark for me to see tbe fine thread so I put aside the wheel, nd went to the house door, looking for Jem. The moon had risen full just over the river, so there was a moon in the water as well as in the sky, and I could have read in the big Bible, by its light.

As I stood looking, there came a cry or were there three eries in one? I didnot stop to think but ran over the fields towards the ford, whence my heart told me the cry came. I ran, though ernelly hindered by trees thatcaught my gown but I tore myself away, not thinking of rents and so at last—for to me it seem ed an age—I stood panting by the ford.

Usually tbe water was not ankle-deep, and by the high-stepping stones one could cross dry-shod but then there was not a stone to be seen, but only the seething water, with an uprooted tree or bush, scurrying down tbe stream.

Nothing else to be seen! Ah me! there were three heads above the water rhat looked white in the moonlight. I, fafe on the bank, could guess well enough how it all bad chanced. Jem had gone first, fearing nothing, but, as it were, to feel the way. He had called a warning to Mistress Lois, and she, always venturous, had laughed at him and gone her wilful way, while Master Brydges, who Had on his best velvet coat in honor of the day, had been slower to risk the spoiling of it until he saw a' danger.

I stood there helpless, but glad to think there was a good fire at the cottage to dry them by, and tbe kettle boiling to make them a hot drink, for a chill was the worst I feared. Mistress Lois bad only to turn to Master Brydges, who could safely bring her to shore in a moment, and my Jem was such a brave swimmer I had no fear for him, even if he were beyond his depth.

Whether it all had a different look to them in the swift current, it is bard to say, as Mistress Lois, feeling her footing going, may have lost her head or perchance she thought death had come, and well, cannot tell, save that I saw her turn away from Master Brydges to Jem, who wan struggling in the current.

Even theu I was hot frightened, knowng how good a swimmer Jem was. Alas! I knew also—something told me, or I saw it in the eager way he turned— that my lad thought death a small price to pay for the bliss of knowing that t,he turned to him for help. I saw Jam battle with the cut rents to reach the sup 3licating arms. As he did so Master tirydges gave a sharp cry of warning, for he only saw the tree whirling in the stream as if it were a straw drifting toward them. I dared not see them sink. 'Fore heaven, he has saved her!"

It was Lady Ann's voice. How she came there I never asked, though I opened my eyes quickly to see Jem at my side with Mistress Lois in his arms. Ho laid her head on tny lap, and then he- invent away, Master Brvdgos going with him.

Tho lass had only fainted and soon came to herself, aud though I'd fain have taken her to the cottage, I fouad Lady Ann opposed me, and was keen to get her to the hall. I let her have her way, not knowing what she saw whilst my eyes were tigut shut besides I was anxious to go to Jem.

So I hurried home and found Master Brvdgea had persuaded Jem \to go to bed, and had himself gone for the doctor, at which Jem laughed and said he was only tired, battling with the current, And wanted mo to doctor him up a day or so. But I did not like.the looks of my lad's white face, and I wished he'd make more lamb-like. Besides I could only tind a bruise or two he would not have cried over when a boy. The doctor said something of inside hurts, aud that time would tell, and much more foolishness that gave me no comfort.

It was near a weok when Jem asked if Mistress Lois had been to the cottage. When I said no, he did not seem offended. But after ho had been a longtime quiet, he said —"She cannot know my state. I cau't go away without a sight of her, nor would she like me to. Therefore, dear aunt, will you not go to the hall and fotch her?"

I wondered whore he thought of going, but he looked so wistful I did not ask, but promised to see Mistress Lois, and say he wished to see her. But how I was to see her I could not tell, for I knew very well Lady Ann would not be friendly to he visit.

The lass must have been looking for mo, for when I went by tho kitchen garden wall, so as to enter at the back door, I heard her calling me. "Teli me of Jem," she said at once. ••They say it would be bold in me to go to the cottage and hear for myself." "Thev sav:" so I knew Lady Ann was "They." "But Master Brydges comes every day —coiiId he not tell you of ray lad?y "My cousin does as she has bid, so we must not blame him. Jem is not huU only taken a chill," she said, as if she knew It.

But when I told how ill he was, and that he had sent me for her, she broke Into bitter weeping. I never could bear to see her cry, even when a baby and though I knew I could never mend the world or make Lady Ann see as I did, I eon Id do no better than take her to tbe cottage. I was afraid Lady Ann would find mo out and stop us, and though she did not, yet I breathed freer when I bad lod the lass to Jem, and closed the door on them. Then I sat down in my armchair for a rest which I needed.

After that, I had not the heart to disturb them, though it was near an hour before Mistress Lois eatne to me. Her eyes were ashine with tears, and yet she looked strangely happy. She would not let me leave Jem, but took Jenny to walk to the hall with her.

I found Jem restless and inclined to talk, and I was some time quieting him. When he fell asleep I went back to the parlor fire, which Jenny had mended, and where she brought me a cup of t«a. 1 would not let her light the candles, liking the fire-light better and being weary, I dosed my eyes.

When I opened them, Lady Ann was sitting in Jem's chair, on the other side of the fire.

I roused myself at once, and offered her a cup of tea? which she refused, saying stiffly, she did not need it. I knew she was angry, and in her stlfftost mood, for she always said my tea was of the

best. Something had displeased her 1 knew well enough, and the sooner she bad it out, the better. Somehow all my dread had vanished. I do not fear even

Ann by my own fire. bu area lucky nurse, to be sloeping over the fine," she sai«? sharply.

A wise nurse steeps when her patient does," I answered. "Besides, Jem is not one to be over-trooblesutne." "It is a boast you can make for very few of his sex". "He Is unlike the most of them," I said. "And being of your crew, of course he is white'*.

I made no answer, and she sat -for a few moments staring in the fire. Then she said in her sudden way:#You were at the*Hall to-day". "I'm not sure that it was wise in me to go," 1 said, thinking of Jem, and how he was upset by seeing Mistress Lois. "It was most unwise in fact you were a fool:" and finding I did not speak, she added: "There are some things best killed out at once, and others that can die ont slowly". "Would yon kill Jem?" I asked sharply. "Not the lad, but his love. blame stnyself for not looking after my niece bivtter but Jem was always a favorite of mine, and, to own the truth, I never thought of anything of the kind, and I do not think you did". "I don't know why I didn't, since old hearts are never in young bodies," I said. "I fancy it was because you learned your catechism in your youth, and thought Jem knew his duty in that state of life to which it had pleased God to call him. But all this is neither here nor there for it is the present, not the past, we are to deal with. You must think of Jem, and I of Lois though I confess she's past my patience. I am sure Jem would h?.ve held his tongue if she had". "I'll not answer for the lad. Jem is bis father's son," I said.

But Lady Ann did not seem to bear. "I know'the world better than you do, at least my side of it, said Lady Ann. "My experience is that a girl likes a lover to look up to her, but a husband to look up to. I do not mean to say Jem is one for any girl to look down on. But he is not one to like his wife to appear ashamed of him, nor of the kind to pick out his phrases to please her nice ear

Jem will never pick out anything but his duty to please anyone," I said, for lost my patience, in truth was angry "And asaor Master Brydges'' 1 can't tell what ailed me to bring in his name, for Lady Ann had not mentioned him only I knew what her heart was set on— "Master Brydges will never stand be tween Jem and what he wishes most for."

A fine red came into Lady Ann's faco. "We vill not mention my son," she said in her proudest way, so I knew she had heard something before.

After that we both sat staring into the fire, fashing our brains with many thought we could not at once put into words. I. knew she was thinking of Master Brydges, and my heart was full of Jem, but I was so angry with Lady Ann I would not tell her of his condi tion. So there we were, both waiting for the other to speak.

Jem must have heard our voices, for he had risen and dressed himself, and before I knew it, he was in the room—he was standiug between us. I could say nothing, though I saw Lady Ann was looking at him in a scornful way. "I suppose-there is no need in my telling you my errand here." "I think I know it," he said quietly. "You think, Lois," (he did not call her Mistress Lois, as had been his wont for a year or two) "will bo better ofl for the loss of me, and you are right, perhaps, yet I do not believe this sweet dream of our youth will, be altogether lost, for love is meant to make us better. So my dear play-fellow will find in time that I have done him no wrong, but have only been before him in teaching Lois her own heart."

Lady Ann sat staring at him. At last she said: "Do you mean you give up Lois?" "Notaltogether willingly and I can't say that I would have done so, if—" He stopped there, and then began again— "I can't say what I would have done if sorely taxed, for it sounds like boasting, and maychance, knowing ime better than I know myself, the dear Lord has taken the matter into His hands and given me no choice. Iam sure it is best so, for, dear Lady, what can be grander than for God to aot for us?"

But Lady Ann did not follow him, for it's easier to understand the small, pitiful ways and losses we give each other than the dealings of God.

Jem saw in lime that she did not take in his meaning, for he said, in his low, weak voice, so unlike his old hearty one that I wondered she did not see the difference: 'Dear Lady Ann, has no one told you that my days on earth are not only num bered, but have dwindled to a very few? If it had not been so, do you think I would havo sent for Lois? And now my strength has gone. I can say no more, only you will let Brydges come to me?"

I went with Jem to his room scolding him for rising, as we went so slowly and I did not leave him until he had fallen asleep from weariness.

I found Lady Ann still silting over the fire. "Why did you not tell me?" she asked. "Tell you what?" I said for I was not inclined* to forgive her foreshortening the little time left me with my Jem." "That there was no hope. I never thought that such a bold swimmer as Jem would find danger to his life in the river." "And neither he would have if it had not been for the tree."

And then I told her how Jem was hurt. "And he was saving Lois' life and I so hard on you!" she said with a sort of sob in her votee. "Ah, Lady Ann!" I cried, breaking into tears "Is it not always best to give kind judgment? I never minded what yon said of me, but I did mind you, mistrusting Jem. "You should have told the ending at the beginning," she said shortly.

And I said nothing, knowing her wont to have the last word. Master Brydges came next morning. I told him not to stay long for my Jem was weakening fast, but he was with him near an hour, and when he came to send me to Jem, his eyes were red with weeping.

But Jem was calm and quiet, smiling up at me as he used to do when a baby, lender with me too for he saw how cast down I was at parting from him. "Don't fret," he said, "for when tbe Lord Himself leads, if we follow He'll

Brydges

been in mine. Lady Ann is right. A wife should look up to her husband not down should follow—not lead him."

And I knew he had heard our talk by tbe fireside. Yet I have always grieved that my Jem saw Lois' outstetcbed arms that evening, and wish Master Brydges had saved her, rather than my lad, whom 'I miss so much in the midnight of my life. As for the young, their darkness is only for an hour or so at least 1 think so when see Master—I should be used to the "Sir Brydges" now—and wife. I don't think Lady Ann cares to be grandmother, she never did take to children— so they have my cottage tor a second home, as Sir Brydges and Lois—she will not let me call her lady—had in the old days.

The children (there to a Jem amongst them) dropping their voices to a whisper, asked me to tell them of uncle Jem, who saved mamma from drowning* "and do I think the river will ever rise so high tftiDf'

Sir Brydges always thinks of my com-

fort, a day seldom passes that he does inot stop at the cottage to ask what I ineed, in his hearty way. He is growing stout and is as fond of hunt as Sir George was.

And Lois sits with me over the fire, for I am old and chilly now, and we talk of the past days, and of our Jem. I find he is no longer my Jem, since they all claim him.

CHEATING THE TYRANT.

Sbe Surmounted the Barriers Fashion Puts Up and Got What She Wanted. "What tyrant!" Amongst so many one may well ask, "What tyrant?" This time it was the tyrant of fashion, and. all his jailers in the form of West End milliners, bootmakers, etc. We are often blamed—indeed, I, being a woman, might, say we are always blamed—for submitting

My old school girl watch had seen its best |days, and after many months of scraping and working, getting little odd jobs, over and above my regular pay, I had saved jenough to buy myself a real good gold lever watch, self winding, minute hand, and all the rest of it. I went to the army and navy stores and requested an amiable young man behind the counter to show me some watches. He brought out a case "of ladies' watches. ... ......

I have a feeling against small watches and wanted something sensible and useful, so taking up the largest one 1 said, "I want one a size larger than this." Ho replied: "That is the largest size we make for ladies."

'Well,"

I said", "then show me your smallest size of gentlemen's watches." A look of intense disdust passed over his face, as though I had teen guilty of an impropriety in asking for a man's watch. After considerable argument and pressure he stooped down and brought out a case of men's watches. I chose the one I wanted, which was, of course, rather dearer than the largest of the ladies' watches. So strong was the young man's prejudice that, although it was to his interest to sell me a higher priced article, he showed annoyance and disgust that I, a woman, should refuse the articles made expressly for the inferior sex, and should provide myself with one made and intended for the exclusive use of the superior male being. He felt personally aggrieved and insulted, and he showed it.

My malo watch goes very well. Some time after this a friend in the country asked mo to get for him an extra strong clasp for a locket and chain which he always wore, containing his child's portrait. I went into the shop of one of the first jewelers in Bond street and said: "Show me some extra strong clasps for locket and chain." Plenty of trumpery clasps were shown me, but nothing really strong or extra good. After a long search through the clasps, I rose and said, half to myself: "I am sorry I can't find one the gentleman will be disappointed." gentleman!" cried the man, "you never told me it was for a gentleman. I've got the very thing he wants." Whereupon he went straight to a drawer and showed me, to my surprise, a quantity of strong, good clasps, made for the superior sex again. Now, these two incidents set me thinking in both cases I had made it clear that price was no object, and that ready money would be paid. What, then, did it mean}

It means that women are, and are to bo, slaves of changing and, therefore, ephemeral fashion that the solid good things of earth are not for them, and that theu* pretensions to a preference for what may be Solid and good over what is trumpery and poor is &n audacious and subtle form of women's rights. I pondered deeply these men are not farwrong. Women's rights have taught me many, many things amongst others they have taught me how to cheat the tyrant.

Last year I wanted to go to Scotland in a hurry. I required strong, large, comfortable boots. Faggs had none that fitted me, so I went toward -'s, in Regent street. I mused—the boots I required must be wide soled and double soled to take iron nails no ladies' boots are made wide soled in my musings I concpcted a deep laid scheme.

I found myself at the bootmaker's, walked in, and said: "I want a pair of strong, ready made boots." "Yes, madam ladies' department upstairs, if you please." Visions of the narrow soles and high heels and thin kid of the "ladies' department" flashed before me. I said to myself, "I must dissemble," so replied, curtly, "Boys'—for country wear." "Yes, madam, this way, if you please." Several pair were shown me. I chose one, and said, "These might do." "Can you give us your boy'ssize, madam f" I replied, "They are as near as possible the same size as mine! "Would you object to fitting them on for him, madam "No," I said, "not at alL" So, in ray eon's name, I, a lonely spinster, bought myself a capital pair of boots, which neither money nor the most eloquent and cogent argument could have procured for me as a woman.

Ouce more, and I have done.

s•

I needed a hat that would meet certain •ample requirements—first, to keep its place on my head without a skewer or elastic secmid, that it should shade my eyes from glare third, that it be not ugly.

A patient search in Regent street, Bond street and South Audley street, produced not oo» bat that would answer even the first requirement.

So 1 again dissembled. I walked into the shop of a man's hatter in Oxford street. "I want a soft, brown felt hat with a wide trim." "Yes, madam ladies' department this way," and so on as before. "No," I replied, "a gentleman's hat." This time it was my husband's fictitious hat that was being bought. —English Woman1!! Fanny Paper.

A Nev Method of Treating Disease.

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is a new departure in the treatment of disease. It consists In the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach aad liver troubles only, was obtained and prepared. The treat men t.of other physicians celebrated for curing catarih was procured, and so ou till these incomparable cures now include disease of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheumatism, and nervous debility. /-f

This new method of -'one remedey for one disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly realise the absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to cure every 111 out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove, has ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors.
