CHAPTER 111. Major Haye had nothing to say against the acquaintanceship formed with General Seymour’s nephew. He joined in the (Conversation and very naturally called the young man “Mr. Seymour.” Whereat Lawrence informed him that his mother had been General Seymour’s sister, and that she had married a certain. Captain Lawrence, and that therefore “'r" eagerly interJwrence whom Oh, know nil about you. Your exploits in shooting, fishing, hunting—l have some young friends who positively rave about Mr. Lawrence —Mr. Jack Lawrence, as they usually call you, do they not? And they knew Miss Clare Seymour, too. Perhaps 1 should call her Mrs. Lawrence, however?” in a gently insinuating tone. A shade had come over Lawrence’s brow. He looked vexed —disconcerted. He answered more ceremoniously than before. “I am sorry that I cannot lay claim to the good fortune of a cousin of mine, whom I think your friends must have met.” “Well, it was to Mr. Jack Lawrence that Miss Seymour was engaged,” said Mrs. Haye in a tone of conviction. “Did that marriage take place, Mr. Lawrence?” “No,” said Lawrence, rather grimly: “that marriage did not take place.” “But I suppose it will take place ultimately?” Lawrence hesitated a little. “Yes,” he said, “ultimately, I suppose.” And then he pulled his mustache and turned rather : red, as if he were conscious of some secret embarrassment. “You met Mrs. Burton in London, didn’t you, Anne?” said Mrs. Haye, suddenly turning to her companion. “By tho by, I beg your pardon; I did not intro- j duce you. Anne, this is Mr. Lawrence. I Mrs. Burton’s friend; my friend, Miss Carteret.” Lawrence bowed gravely, with some curiosity as to what Miss Carteret would do or say. She answered with careless frankness, which showed that she had attached very little importance to her former meeting with him. “Mr. Lawrence and I remember each other,” she said. “He was the gentleman who kindly brought me a glass of water when 1 turned faint yesterday. I was very much obliged to him for his help.” Then some of the other passengers joined the group, and presently Mrs. Haye was persuaded by one of them to take a walk up and down the deck. Tlio usual ’before-luncheon promenade having begun, Lawrence found himself virtually alone with Miss Carteret. Major Haye was certainly within hearing, but he seemed to be absorbed in an old newspaper, which he had obtained at Valetta.” 1 “You will not take a tittle wallx?” Law- 1 rence said to her. I ? “No, thank you.” - “Miss Carteret is not strong «npugh to 1 walk,” said Major Haye, emerging from his newspaper. “She is an invalid for the t present. She went to that cbftrch yes- < terday against my wishes, Mr. kawrence. 1 I said it would be too much for Ater. But i my wife wanted a companion; Tnd I be- ! lieve, Anne, I believe you wenj simply to ! please my wife, and not yourself at all.” 1 He stalked away down the Heck, and Lawrence settled into the seat hext Miss ’ Carteret’s chair, watching her with undis- 1 guised interest and admiration. He saw i that something in Major Hays’s speech 1 had touched her; the color ha I risen to 1 her cheeks, the water was stam-lhig in her s eyes. But her lips smiled still. “Major ] Haye is a very old friend of aline,” she : said. “He thinks Ido not takSs sufficient care of myself.” i “You were ill before you left England?” < “Yes; I had a nervous feve?, A win- 1 ter abroad will do great thin-rs for me, ; people say.” “Major Haye is going back to India?” ! “Major Haye? Yes.” “Will the Indian climate suit you?” “Oh,” said Miss Carter^., her face lighting up, “I see what you Inean. But 1 am not going to India; only half way—to Egypt for the winter.” “So am I.” She looked at him inquiringly for a moment. “Not for your health?” she said in a doubtful tone. “No; for amusement. I sb.r.ll go up the Nile. I am tired of EnglanS.” It was not the last conversation that they held together. Friend?;?, comfortable talks are easy on board ship, where the mornings and afternooih! and even- • ings present long blank spaces which have to bo filled up by pitiably inefficient devices. Lawrence found, too, that his । place at meals was beside Miss Carteret, and this was a fact which greatly aided the growth of their friendship. For, after that first day. Miss Carteret came to almost every meal except breakfast, and seemed to gain strength and brightness hour by hour. They had left Malta on Friday afternoon. Saturday. Sunday, Monday, these were the days of which Lawrence disposed chiefly in company With Miss Carteret. Monday night came; they would reach Alexandria early on the morrow. After dinner nearly ail the passengers came on deck. The ai».‘ was fresh yet warm; the moon was rising in the cloudless heavens, but the sunset glow lingered in the west. Anne found herself with Lawrence at her side. For a minute or two they paced the deck in silence. “It is our last night,” he said. “Are you glad—or sorry?” “I think —both.” “I have a request to make,” he said, after a pause. His voice sank into a peculiarly soft and serious tone as he spoke. “I don’t know whether we shall ever see each other again. You may hear of me; yon may hear evil things of me. I have not led a quiet, life like yours. And I want to ask you—whatever you may hear—to think kindly of me, as a friend would do. May I ask that?” “Why should I not think kindly of you?” she said. “Why should you think of mo at all? I have no claim to be remembered. And »et—l should like you to remember me..

Will you think of me sometimes?” “I will remember you,” she said. She turned from him without another word, and went down into the cabin. He watched her out of sight, then returned to his former position, leaned his elbows on the railing, and placed his hands on either side his head. Once he sighed very deeply. His attitude was, thaf^f a man oppressed by gloomy remembrances and painful thought. Was it simply from vanity that he had asked. Anne Carteret to remember him? CHAPTER IV. In the morning Miss Carteret, and Lawrence parted with laughing words upon their lips. Yet when Lawrence’s back was turned a little weariness crept into her face. For the space of ten seconds or thereabouts the harbor and its varied colors and changing lights lost interest and vividness in her eyes. But that sensation passed as quickly as it came. After all, Mr. Darner Lawrence was nothing in point of interest compared with the friends whom she was going to visit and the sights that she hoped to see. Lawrence looked as if he felt the parting more than she. As he settled himself with his luggage in tho stern of the boat that was to take him to the shore, an expression of gloom and discontent was so visible upon his face as to attract Mrs. Haye’s attention. “How miserable that young man looks!” she said. “And a man in such fortunate circumstances, too—rich, wellborn, handsome, free! Some people are never - contented in this world!” Mrs. Haye’s trite moral reflections wore always rather lost upon Anne, but iho fact which had called them forth on this occasion was not so easily overlooked. She had little time for speculation concerning it; she had just distinguished in one of the boats approaching from the shore the figure of her uncle, Mr. Dumaresq, at whose house sho was going to stay, and her attention had to be given to him. Mr. Dumaresq belonged to a large banking house, and had lived in Egypt for many years. His wife and children often went to England or Switzerland for a few months; but he himself was much absorbed in business affairs, and had now not quitted Egypt for some time. Mrs. Dumaresq was the sister of Mrs. Carteret, who had died several years before Anne ever thought of going out. to Alexandria. Mr. Carteret also was dead; and since his death Anne had lived in the house of a distant relation, an old admiral, whom she had nursed and tended ever since she was eighteen. His recent death left Anne desolate; and the Dumaresqs wrote to her, inviting her to spend the winter with them. Mr. Dumaresq’s clasp of the hand was a comfort to Anne, who had been feeling a little lonely. He thanked the Hayes for their escort, asked them to bis house, gave orders about the luggage, and helped Miss Carteret and her friends into the boat. “Your Aunt Charlotte would have come to meet you, but sho was not well enough,” Jie said to her. “She sent in r love, and hopes you will accept Michelle as her substitute. You reinember her?. She is waiting for ns on the quay with Mr. Eastlake. You know Paul East lake by name, no doubt?" Yes, Anne knew bis; name. Two figures were pointed out to her on the quay; but they wort 1 too distant to be easily recognized. Her luggage had to be de- i livered to the custom house officers. An hour or more passed before site found herself seated in the carriage which had been provided for her. with Michelle Dumaresq at her side, and Mr. Dumaresq and Mr. Eastlake opposite. The Hayes were driving in another carriage to a hotel. Michelle was a slight, pretty girl with dark eyes, and Mr. Eastlake was a tall, good-looking, middle-aged man. Just as they .passed the English church, at one side of the squa.ro, a gentleman in another carriage raised his hat. Anne returned the salutation, and ottered a word of explanation to her friends as she did so. “That is a Mr. Lawrence, who came from Malta with us in the Syria.” “H’m—a very good-looking man,” sail Mr. Dumaresq, “He knows neople here, then. I see he is driving wi.h Mr. Calcott.” “He said he had friends in Alexandria.” Here the carriage stopped fe order that Mr. Eastlake might get out: of it. He entered a pile of buildings in a narrow street near the square; Anne understood them to say that he was going to his mffice. It was in a curiously bewildered State of mind that sho presently found herself at an ordinary looking railway station, and seated in an ordinary firstclass carriage. Hero Mr. Dnmaresq hade them good-by; he had no time to go out with them to the village of Ramleh. where his house was situated, three miles from Alexandria. The train steamed out of the station, amt moved onward through a new world. There were five or six stations at Ramleh, 'about five minutes' walk from each' other. Michelle and Anne got out at one of these stations. A tribe of donkey boys with their steeds rushed at the travelers, but, on Anne's refusal to mount a donkey, Michelle dispersed them with an energetic Arabic sentence or two. Then they walked on to Mr. Dumaresq's house, which was not very far distant, a large white mansion, in a garden, with a broad veranda running almost round it. The garden was gay with flowers; roses bloomed there ail the year round; the poinsettia trees were gay with scarlet leaves; the golden green of the ragged banana leaves glittered in the sunshine. The babble of children’s voices could be heard from an upper window, and Mrs. Dumaresq was ready at the door to take the newcomer into her welcoming arms. CHAPTER V. Anne’s boxes had to be unpacked. Mrs. Dumaresq was astonished and rather vexed at the smallness and perhaps the shabbiness of Anne's wardrobe; and Anne had to own with a smile that when she left England she had been too ill and too worn out with fatigue to trouble herself about her dresses. “Besides,” she said, “I thought I was

Anne," said Mrs. Dumaresq, “I atn gomg to speak plainly to you. James said I whs to talk to you. We are the only people you have to look after your affairs and interests. You were eightee.n when your uncle, as you call him, took you home with him after your mother’s death, and said you were to be his daughter. and all that sort of thing. oNow, weren’t you?” “I was.” “And you are twenty-fierce now. That is to say, you let him m&v you up in a gloomy old house m Lon«^p^ where you never went out or saw anybody from one week's end to another; ahd when he became ill you nursed hinfaynd tended him like an angel—no, fbsaMnperrupt me; 1 shall say What T like—-were scolded and bullied and snspevK all day long until he died last July: ay^then of course you fell ill from ovea'ork and overanxiety; and we all h®, ‘Thank goodness, that part of her lis is over!’ ” * .vunt Charlotte, I am sure you were not so unfeeling!” said Anne. “And we also said,” continued Aunt Charlotte, regardless of the interruption, “ ‘Now she will have her reward. The old Admiral ought to have made her independent for life.’ And at first we heard that he had left you his whole fortune; and then wo were told he had left you nothing; and then you wrote and said you had two hundred a year. So now, your Uncle James and I would like to know what it all means, dear, if you don’t mind telling us; because we are your nearest relations, and we do hope that you have got your rights.” “Yes, I got all my rights.” “Do. dear Anne, tell mo what happened,” said Mrs. Dumaresq, persuasively. “How did he leave his money? He had two thousand a year, I know.” Anno hes'tated for a moment, then looked her aunt steadily in the face said, “He u ft his money to me.” “Well, what have you done with it?” “1 gave it away.” Anne murmured, apologetically. Mrs. Duma: .q rose from he: chair, and drew herseif to her full height. “Good heav ns. Anno.' sho said in her most omphiti tones, “are you mad.” “'i hat is what Mrs. Haye used to ask me/ si.id Anne. "She was angry with mo throughout the whole voyage. Dear Major Haye tried to be angry too, but could r.o - . manage it. He si v that it was a nu tter of right and justice.” “Kight and justice!

"The only thing that I charged myself with doing was to see that the income should not all go to ihe . eldest son. There will be an equable division of the property. My dear Aunt Charlotte, I have done very well for myself." sho said, looking at her aunt with an assumption of innocent dignity. "I have kept four thousand pounds for my <>wn use and behoof, and 1 feel rich upon I ir ” To her surprise Mrs. Dumaresq sank into the easy-chair again, and began to cry. "It is too bad,” she said, sobbing. "Here you have given up your youth—the live b t years of your life —to that wicked old man. and have got nothing by it but a paltry two hundred a year; and I have been saying. that you were an heiress—and everybody is so curious to see you. I must tell your uncle the whole story, because he is so very anxious about you. What he will say when he hears it 1 simply cannot imagine.” Mr. Eastlake came to dinner, and with him a Mr. RollestoA and the Dumaresq's eldest son. Harold, who had been detained all day by business in town. Harold was a bright licking, boyish man of one-and-twenty. with thick brown hair and sparkling blu|s eyes. Mr. Eastlake was some years older than either Harold or Mr. Rolleston, but seemed on very intimate terms with them, as indeed he was with the family of the Dumaresqs. Ho had known them well iu England, and was connected with them by marriage in sonic distant degree. He was almost as mmfh tn home in Mrs. Dumaresq’s house as/in ids own.

BEAT HER HUSBAND. IN the recent election Mrs. Martha Hughes Cannon, of Salt Lake City, defeated her husband for a seat in the Utah Senate by more than 4,000 votes. She is a Democrat and her husband a Republican. A believer in .polygamy, she is the fourth wife of the man she defeated and has three

children whom she supports by her income as a practicing physician. She is 32 years of age and is an unusually attractive woman. She is well educatk cd and a fine stump ® speaker. In the matter of ‘ polygamy Mrs. Cannon believes

& / MRS. CANNON.

that in the present condition of society it is a good thing for women. A fourth wife has more liberty than a whole one. She is only one-fourth the slave that a whole wife is. As woman's influence on man grows man will become less domineering, have more regard for the feelings and liberty of his life companion, and when woman's victory is completely won polygamy will disappear, for each member of both sexes will find his or her affinity, and both will be perfectly happy. Hints for Beauty Seekers. In addition to its daily brushing, it will be found that frequent changing of the style of dressing the hair improves Going gloveless not only tans the : hands, but hardens them. Therefore ■ the wise damsel who objects to wear- I Ing tight gloves by day. but who has I equal prejudices against a harsh skin, wear at night loose gloves, rubbed on ■ the inside with cold cream. If the fingers are cut out there is no disagreeable i sensation connected with the operation, i If you have a rooted objection to turning a livid lobster hue and still retain a fondness for aquatic sports, rub cold cream into your face before going forth. M’ipe it off with a soft rag and apply powder with inartistic liberality. No veil will be needed with this protection. When the summer girl's complexion has been exposed to the rays of the Kim nixl nhe Ih hlio wash her face in cold water, but in water as hot as she can bear It. In it should lie dissolved some ordinary soda. This takes the sting out of the burn ami prepares the face for au application of some soothing lotion. For Slender Women. Columns of conflicting advice have been written fro.m time to time for the benefit of women who wish to get thin, and, as it is not enough for the woman who desires to put on a little extra flesh to draw her conclusions from the reverse side of the fleshy woman's instructions. she is coming in for a goodly share of counsel, too, which is all excellent in away, but the regime of exercise and diet which is advised for perfect development from the standard of too much or too little flesh is usually an absorbing process which leaves very little time for other things, and the average woman soon wearies of it if she has the courage to attempt it at all. The simple recipe, “Eat vegetables and plenty of butter, drink milk, sweet wine and stout, take cod-liver oil. go to bed early, sleep a little during I each day. and laugh as much as possi- I ble,” will often help the thin woman : immensely. Cream may be substituted i for the cod-liver oil if preferred. A Prayer for Girls. You ask for a little prayer. Here is one written by Jeremy Taylor in his effort to teach the world what was meant by holy living: “Teach me to ' watch over all my ways, that I may i never be surprised by sudden tempta- ! tions or a careless spirit, nor ever re- i turn to folly and vanity. Set a watch. ! O Lord, before my mouth, and keep the door of my lips, that I offend not in my tongue, neither against piety nor charity. Teach me to think of nothing but Thee, and what is in order to Ihj- I glory and service; to speak nothing but ; of Thee and Thy glories; and to do : nothing but what becomes Thy ser- ■ vant, whom Thy infinite mercy, by the ‘ grace of Thy holy spirit hath sealed up j to the day of Redemption.”—Ladies' ■ Home Journal. The Dress of the Future. According to Mrs. Annie Jenness Mil ler the house dress of the future will 'not in the least resemble the long- I skirted affair of to-day. The skirt of ' this rational gown will come half way I between the knee and the ankle, and the waist and the skirt will be in one piece. This simple affair may be worn ' while the mother of the family is loung- ' ing in her room or attending to her lit- ; tie necessary duties about tho house. It should be supplemented, however, by a little Eton jacket, rather more ; elaborately made, which may be slipped on iu the emergency caused by the unseasonable caller. This ks supposed i to represent utility in dress. Keeping Insomnia at Bay. Everything which increases the i amount of blood ordinarily circulating through Ihc brain has a tendency to j cause wakefulness. Tight or ill-fitting । articles of dress, especially about the . neck or waist, and tight shoes and । boots, should be discarded; the feet ;

should be kept warm, so that the circulation may be promoted. Apart, however, from physical causes, there are various moral causes acting on the brain equally inimical to sleep. When the mind is quieted the tendency of the vessels is to contract and for sleep to follow. Women as Sailors and Pilots. Scandinavia bears the distinction of being the only nation of the world in the navy of which the women enjoy the same privileges and share the same perils as the men.

Wonders ul Demand for Spruce. Timber cutters iu this country are j now confronted with the unique condi- : tions that spruce is worth more in the market as material for wood pulp than ias lumber. Spruce is the only wood that is in demand in the pulp mill as , well as the saw mill. A recent calculation, made by experts in the lumbei trade, shows that at least 65 per cent, of all the spruce cut in the forests j of the country this year will go to the ; pulp mill. During 1897 fully 1,200 1 cords of spruce woods will be convert- ! ed each day into ground wood pulp and | sulphate. This will aggregate 360,000 I cords for the year, or the equivalent of 225,000,000 feet of spruce logs. The finger ring was the earliest or- ; nament worn by man.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL? INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. Reflections of an Elevating Character —Wholesome Food for Thought Studying the Scriptural Lesson Intelligently and Profitably.

The study of the lesson should include vs. 15-31. 1 1. “The captain of the temple”: an officer who had a number of Levites under | his command, and was charged with po- 1 lice duty in the temple. “The Sad- ■ ducees”: who would be especially displeased by the teaching about the resurrection, since they denied the possibility of a res* urrection. They were the ruling classM J — — —— grieved”: refers chiefly or entirely to the Sadducees. “Grieved” hardly represents the thought; it was not sorrow but indignation that moved them. 3. “In hold”: that is, of course, in prison; it was too late in the day—now probably about sunset —to bring them before the Sanhedrim until the following morning. 4. “About five thousand”: not the nu|> her of those converted on this day, Iw rather the whole number of converts up this time. The verse is a parenthetic sv ming up of the results of the preach of the gospel up to the time of this, first important setback. 5. “Rulers and elders and scribes”: t is, the Sanhedrim. The assembly cons ed of seventy men, twenty-four b< priests, twenty-four elders and twe two scribes. It was the highest trib> of the Jewish nation: hence the he of Peter and John would be properly 1 before it. 6. “Annas the high priest”: Annas not high priest at this time, but his in-law Caipahas (pronounced Ca phas). According to the Jewish cu however, Annas retained the title. ‘ and Alexander”: Nothing is knov these men; they were presumably hi authority. 7. “In the midst”: It is said the Sanhedrim sat in a semi-circle, and persons who were heard before them within the group. “By what pothis does not mean “by whose authoi for that another word should have used. The meaning is, “by what 1 by what means.” 8. “Filled with the Holy Spirit”: ett says, “i. e., filled anew. Pete thus elevated above all human sea assisted at the same time to make s defense of the truth as the oceasi quired.
