"V LDGAR A, BROWN.

A BLESSING OR A CURSE. Br. Talmage on the Possibilities of the Coming World's Fair. All the Nations of the Earth will Contribute toitTheir Products Their Manufactures nd their Vices "Welcome the Good and Shun the Bad. - The sermon of Rev. T. Do Witt TolroagQ In Brooklyn Tabernacle last Sunday was listened to by the usual overflowing audience. His subject was "The Coming Worlds Fair. Shall it Be Made a Blessing or Curse i?.- His ..text was Ezekiei xxvu, 12: 'HThey -traded in thy fairs." He said ; Fairs mav bo tor tho sale. el goods or for the exhibition qt goods on u small, scale or a large scale, for county or city, for one nation or for all nations. My text onnga us to the fairs of ancient Tyre, a city that is now extinct. Part'of the city was on an island, and nari on the mainland. Alexander, tho conquerer, was much embarrassed when he found so much of the city was on an island, f or ; he had no ships. But his military genius was not to be balked. Having marched his army to the beach, he ordered them to tear up the city on the mainland and throw it into the water and build a causeway two hundred feet wide to the island. So they took that part of the city which was on the mainland and with it built a causeway of timber and brick and sxone, : on which" his army marched to

the capture of that part of the city which was on the island, as though a . hostile army should put Brooklyn into the East river, and over it march to the capture of New York. That Tyrian causeway of ruins which Alexander's army built, is still there, and by alluvial deposits has permanently united the island to the mainland, so that it is no longer an island but a promontory. The sand, the jrreatest of all undertakers, for burying cities, having covered up for the most part Baalbec. and Palmyra and Thebes and Momphis and Carthage and Babylou and Wuxor and Jericho, the sand, so small and yet so mighty, is now gradually giving rites of sepulture to What was left of Tyre. But, oh, what a magnilicent city it once was 1 Mistress of the sea! , Queen of international commerce! All nations casting their crowns ,a't her. feet I Where we have in our sailing vessels benches of wood, she had benefics of ivory. Where we have for our masts of ships saila of coarse canvas, she had sails of richest embroidery. . The chapter from which ray text is taken after enumerating the richest countries in all the world says of Tyre : "They traded in thy fairsV Look in upon a world's fair at Tyre, j Ezekiei leads us through one department and it is a horse fair. Under fed and over driven for ages, the horses of today give you" no i dea "of t ho splendid an imaJs -which, rearing and plunging and snorting and neighing, were brought down over the plann of the ships and led into the world's fair at Tyre until EzekiOl, who was a minister of religion and not supposed to know much about horses, cried out in admiration : "They . of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses." Here in another department of that world's fair at Tyre, led on by JSzekiel the prophet, we find everything au ablaze with precious stones. Like petrified snow are the corals ; like fragments of fallen sky are the sapphires; and here is agate a-blush with all colors. " What is that aroma We inhale? . It is from chests of cedar which we open, and find them filled with all styles of fabric. But the aromatics increase as we pass down this lane of - enchantment, and here are cassia and frankincense and balm. Led on by Ezekiei the prophet we come to an agricultural fair with a display of wheat from Minnith and Pannag, rich as that of our modern Dakota or Michigan. And here is a mineralogical fair, with specimens of iron and silver and tin and lead and gold. But halt, for here is purple, Tyrian purple, all tints and shades, deep almost unto the black and bright almost unto the blue; waiting for kins and queens to order it made into robes for coronation day ; purple not like that which is now made from the Orchilla weed, but the extinct purple, the lost purple, which the ancients knew how to make out of the gasteropod mollusks of the Mediterranean. Oh, look at those casks of wine from Helbon ! See those snow banks of wool from the back of sheep that once pastured in Gilead. Oh, the bewildering riches and variety of that world's fair at Tyre ! But the world has copied these Bible mentioned fairs in air succeeding ages, and it has nad its Louis the Sixth fair at Dagobert, and Henry the First fair on St. Bartholomew's day, and Hungarian fairs at Pesth, and Easter fairs at Leipsic, and the Scotch fairs at Perth, (bright was the day when I was at one of them), and afterward came the London world's fair, and the New York world's fair, and the Vienna world's fair, and the Parsian world's fair, and it has been decided that, in commemoration of the discovery of America in 1493, there shall be held in this country in 1892 a world's fair that shall eclipse all preceding national, expositions. 1 say, God speed the movement! Surely the event com memorated is worthy of all the architecture and music and pyrotechnics and eloquent and stupendous planning and monetary, expenditure ana" congressional appropriations which the most sanguine C hristian patriot h as ever dre amed of. W as any voyage that the world ever heard of crowned with such an arrival as that of

preached and doxologies sung. In the less than throo years between this and that world's convocation, let us got a baptism of tho Holy Ghost, so that the six months of that world's fair shall bo fifty Pen tocosts in ono, and instead of three converted, as in tho former Pentecost, hundreds of thousands will be converted. . You must remember thatr tho Ponlecost mentioned in the Biblo occurred when there was no printing press, uo books, no Christian pamphlets, no religious newspapers, and yet tho influence was tremendous. How many nationalities wcro touched? Tho account says: "Parthians and Medes and Elamites," that is, people from the eastern countries; 4,Phrygia and PamphyUa," that is, the western countries; "Gyrene and strangers of Homo, Crolcs and Arabians," that is, the southern countries; but they were all movod by tho mighty spectacle. Instead of the sixteen or eighteen tribes of people reported at that Pentecost, all the chiof.. nations of Ehropo and Asia, North and South America, will bo represented at our world's fair in 181)2, and a Pentecost here and thou would mean the salvation of tho round world. But, you say, wo may have at that fair the people. of nil lands and all the. machinery for gospel ization. tho religious printing presses and the churches, but all that would not make a Pentecost; wo must have God. Well, you can have him. Has ho not been graciously waiting? and nothing stands in the way but our own unbelief and indolence ana sin. May God break down the barriers 1 The grandest opportunity for the evangelization of all nations since Jesus Christ died on the cross will bo tho World's exposition of.lS92. God may take us out of thf harvest field before that but let it be known throughout Christendom that that year, between May and November, will be tho mountain of Christian

advantage, tho Alpine and Himalayan height of opportunity overtopping all others for salvation. Instead oi the slow process of having to send the gospel to other lands by our own American missionaries, who have difficult toil in acquiring the foreign prejudices, what a grand thing to have able and influential foreigners converted during their visit in America and then have them return to their native lands with the glorious tidings ! Oh, for an over whelming work of grace for the year 1SU2. that work beginning in the autumn of 181) I Another opportunity, if our publio "men see it, and it is the duty of pulpit and printing press to help them to seo it. will be the calling at that time and place or a great peace congress for all nations. The convention of representatives from the governments of North and South America, now at 'Washington, is only a type of what we may have on a vast and a world wide scale, at "the international exposition of 1893. By one stroke the gorgon of war might be slain and buried so deep that neither trumpet of human dispute or of archangel's blowing could resurrect it. When the last Napoleon called such a congress of nations many did not respond, and those that did respond gathered wondering What trap that wily destroyer Of the French republic and the builder of a French monarchy might spring on them. But what if tho most popular government on earth I mean tho United Stales governmentshould practically say to all nations: On the American continent, in I Si W, we will hold a world's fair, and all nations will send to it specimens of their products, their manufactures and their arts, and we invite all the governments of Europe, Asia and Africa to send representatives to a peace convention that shall be held at the same time and place, and that Shall establish an international arbitration commission 10 Whom shall ho referred all controversies between nation and nation, their decision to be final, and so all nations would be relieved from the expense of standing armies and naval equipment, war having been made an evor'as ting impossibility. All tho nations of tne earth wortii consideration would come to it, mighty men of England and Germany and France and Russia and all tho other great nationalit ies, Bismarck who worships the Lord of osis, and Gladstone who worships the Go 1 of Peace, and Boulamrer who worships himself. The fact is that tho nations are sick of drinking out of chalices made out of human skulls

and filled with blood. The Unite,! States government is the only govern mont in the whole world that could successfully call such a congress. Suppose Franco should call it, Germany would not come; or Germany should call it. Franco would not come; or Russia should call it. Turkey would not com?; or England should call it, nations long jealous of her overshadowing power in Eurons would not come. America, in favor wth all nationalities, standing out independent and alone, is the spot and l.yji will be the liino. May it please tho president of tho United St-ites, may it please tho secretary or state, may it please the cabinet, may it please the senate and house of representatives, may it please the printing presses and the churches and the people who lift up and put down our American rulers!

To them I make this timely and solemn

and Christian appeal.

lievo that tho advantages will overtop everything in the world's fair. What an introduction to each other of communities, of states, of republics, of empires, of zones, of hemispheres ! hat. doors of information will bo swung wide open for the boys and girls now on the threshold! What national and international education! What crowniug of Industry with- sheaves of grain, and what imperial robing of her with embroidered fabrics! What scientific apparatus I What telescopes for the infinitude above and microscopes for the infinitude beneath, and tho instruments toputnaluro to tho torture until she tolls her last secret I Wh at a display of tho munificence or tho God who has grown enough wheat to mako a loaf of good bread largo enough for tho human race, and enough cotton to stocking every foot, and enough timber to shelter every head, making it manifest that it is not God's fault, but either man's oppression or indolence or dissipation if there bo any without supply. Under tho arches of the chief building of that exposition lot Capital and Labor, too long estranged, at least bo married, each taking the hand of each in pledge of eternal fidelity, while representations Of all nations stand round rejoicing at tho nuptials, and saying: "What Gou hath joined together lot not man put asunder." Then shall tho threnody of the needle woman no longer be heard $ Work, work, work! Till i lie brain begins to swim-, Work, work, work ! Till the eyes are heavy and cllra. Beam and gusset and band, Band and guBact and seam. Till over ttto buttons I fall a9lcsBp, And sew them on lu a dream. O, Christian America 1 Make ready for the grandest exposition ever seen under the sun ! Have bibles enough bound. Have churches enough established. Have scientific halls enough endowed. Have printing presses enough sot up. Have revivals of religion enough in full blast, f believe you will. uHosanna to the Son of David!

SwisNForm of GoTernmont, ...... The chief feature of Swiss government is to be found in its division into cantons and communes. The restrictions that are placed upon the Federal authority are deserving of study. While the Federal Government is in theory supposed to be absolute within its own domain, it has not the power to enforce its decrees upon an objecting canton, although the latter may generally be brought to terras by the. threat of occupying it with the military forces of another canton. Besides every law adopted by the National Assembly or Council has to be referred to the people for approval or rejection. Indeed, to such an extent doos this idea of the sovereignty of the people enter into the governmental system that any citizen has. the right to submit a law to t he National Assembly, and to demand that it be acted upon. Strangely enough, this right is seldom asserted, although one shudders to think wht would be the result if each voter should decide to try his 4 'prentice hand" at law-making. Although the reference of all laws to the vote of the people might naturally be. supposed to lessen the influence, ol the National Assembly, yet it has been found to act as a wholesome check on the Radical majority in the Assembly. Another effect is to do away with any wuch thing as party government No matter what the result of the appeal to tho people might be the members of the Government serve out their term. The heads of departments are not interfered with by elections, and subordinate officers 'generally retain their places in spite of a change of government The salaries for the higher offices, however, are low, a ndjsot everyone can afford to fill 1hem. -Phi la.

O tender songs I Heart-hoavings of tho breast that longs Its best-beloved to meet; Von tell of love's delightful hours, Df meetings amid jasmine bowers, And vows, like perfume of young fiowori As fleeting but more sweet, O glorious songs ! That rouse the brave 'gainst tyrant wrongs, Resounding near and far; Mingled with trumpet and with drum, Your spirit-stirrring summons come, To urge the hero from his homo, And am- him for tho war. O mournful songs! : When Sorrow's hosts, in gloomy throngs, Assail tho widowed heart; You speak in softly soothing strain, Tho praisO of those whom death has tn' en, And tell that wo shall meet again, And meet no more to part. O lovely songs Breathings of heaven ! to you belongs The empire of the heart. Sn throned in memory, still reign O'er uiiuds of prince and poor and swata, With gentle power that knows not wane Till thought and llfo depart.

Most appropriate and patriotic and Christian will, be a commemorative world's "fair in America in 1892. Leaving to others the discussion as to the site of such exposition and I wonder not that some five or six of our cities are struggling to have it, 'for .it -will give to any city to which it is assigned an impulse of prosperity for a hundred years I say, leaving to others the selection of the particular locality to be thus honored, I want to say soine things from the point of Christian patriotism which ought to be said, and the earlier the better, that we get thousands of people talking in the right direction, and that will make healthful public opinion. . I bAj you to consider prayerfully what I feel called upon of God as an American citizen and as a preacher of righteousness to utter. - My first suggestion is that it is not wise, as.certainly it is not 'Christian, to continue this -wide and persistent attempt of American cities to belittle and depreciate other cities. It has been going on f or years, but now the spirit seems to culminate in this discussion as to where the World's fair shall be held;4 a style of discussion which has a tendency to injure the success of the fair. as a great moral and patriotic enterprise, after the locality has been decided upon. There is such a thing as healthful rivalry between cities, but you will bear me put in saying that there can be no good to come from the uncanny things said about each other by New York and Chicago, by Chicago and St. Louis, by St. Paul and Minneapolis, by' Tacoma and Seattle, and all through the states by almost every two proximate cities. All cities, like individuals, have their virtues and

their vices. All our American ities should

be our exultation. What churches !

public libraries ! What asylums of mercy !

W hat academies of music! W hat mighty men in law arid medicine and art and scholarship! What schools arid colleges and universities 1 W hat women "radiant and gracious and an improvement on all the gener

ations of women since Eve! What philan- I thropists who do not feel satisfied with their own charities until they get into the hundreds of thousands and the millions! What , "God's acres" for the dead, gardens of beauty and palaces of marble for those who , sleep the last sleep! Wow stop your slan- ; der of American cities. Do you say they ; are the centers of crime and political cor- j ruotionl Please admit the fact that they 1 are centers of intelligence and generosity and the mightiest natrons of architecture and sculpture and painting and music and reservoirs of religious influence for-all -the continent. It will bo well for the country districts to cease talking against the cities of other localities- New York will not got the World's fair by depreciating Chicago, and Chicago will not get the World's fair by bombarding New York. Another suggestion concerning the coming exnosition: let not the materialistic and monetary idea overpower the moral and religious. During that exposition, the first time in all their lives, there will be thou sands of people from other lands who will see a country without a state religion. Let us by an increased harmony, among all denominations' of religion, impress other nationalities, as they come hero that year, with the superior advantage of having all denominations equal m the sight of government All the rulers and chief men ofEurope belonjj to tho state religion whatever it may be. Although our last two presidents have been Presbyterians, the previous one was an Episcopalian: and the 1 wo previous, Methodists; and going further biclc in that line of presidents, we find Martin Van Buren a Dutch Reformed; and John Quinoy ; Adams a Unitarian ; and a man's religion ; in this country is neither hindrance nor ad- : vantage in the matter of political elevation. All Europe needs that. All the world needs that. A man's religion is something between himself and his God, and it must not, directly oi? indirectly, be intcrf erred with. ..: -.. Furthermore, during that exposition, ' Christian civilization will con f rout barbar- , ism. We shall, as a nation have n greater

opportunity to matte an evangeumg mipreHsidn upon foreign nationalities, than Would otherwise be afforded us in a quarter of a century. Let the churches of the city

If advertising doesn't pay, who does the most business? If it doesn't pay to advertise, why do tho heaviest business firms in the" world spend millions in that way? Is it because they want to donate those millions of dollars to the newspaper and magazine publisher, or because they don't know as much about business as the six-for-a-dollar "storekeeper" in a country town, who says money spent in advertising is thrown away, or donated to the man to whom it is paid? Such talk is simply ridiculous, and It requires more than the average patience to discuss tho proposition of whether acvertising pays or not with that kind of a man. His complacent

federate armies who were at. the front, or J to some of us who, as members of the' Christian commission, saw the ghaslly

hospitals at Antietam and Hagerstown. Ah! you may worship tho Lord of Hosts, 1 worship the "God or Peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of the sheep." War is an accursed monster and it was born in the lowest cavern of perdition, and I pray that it may speedily descend to the place from which it arose, its last sword and shield and musket rattling on the bottom of the red hot marl of hoil. Let there be called a peace convention of ISO-, with delegates sent by all the decent governments of Christendom, and while they are in session, if you should some night go out and look into the sky above the exposition buildings,you may find that the old gallery of crystal, that was taken down after the Bethlehem anthem of eighteen centuries ago was sung out, is rebuilt again in the clouds, and the sumo an-

V hat ( gelic singers are returned with the same Qrcv ' ' librettos of light to chaut "Glory to God in

the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men." Again, I suggest in regard to the W'orld's fair that, while appropriate places are prepared for all foreign exhibits, we make no room for the importation of foreign vicea. America has enough of its own, and we need no new installments of that kind. A world's fair will bring all kinds of people, good and bad. The good we must prepare to welcome, tho bad we must prepare to Fhun. The attempt will again be made in ltW, as in 17(5, to break us our American Sabbaths. The American Sabbath is the best kent Sabbath on earth. We do not want it

broken down, and substituted in the place thereof the Brussels Sabbath, the Vienna Sabbath, the St. Petersburg Sabbath, or any of the foreign Sabbaths, which are no ! Sabbaths at all I think the Lord is more j than generous in asking only fifty-two days j out of the 55 for his service. You let the j Sabbath go and with it wiil go your Bible, and after that your liberties, and your ehil-

aren or your gnmacuuuren win ue nere in America under a despotism as bad as in those lands where they turn the Lord's day into wassail and frolic. Among those who come there will be, as at other expositions, lordly people who will bring their vices with them. Among the dukes and duohosses and priuces and princesses of other lands are some of the best men and women of all the earth. Kemem' ber Earl of Kin tore, Lord Cairns and Lord ShaftenburA'. But there is a snobbery and fluuiceyism in American society that runs afror : grandee, a duke, a lord or a prince, though ae may be a walking lazaretto and his breach a plague. It makes tho fortune of sonic of our queens of society to dunce one cotillion with one of these princely lepers, Some people cannot get their hat oft! quick enough when t hey see s uc h a f orei gn 1 ord a pprc ach i n g, and they do not care for the mire into which they drop their kness as they bow to worship. Lot no splendor of ped greo or any pomp and paraphernalia of circura stance make him attractive. There is only one set of Ten Commandments that I ever heard of, and no class of men or women in all the world are oxeused from obedience to those laws written by finger of lightning oil the granite surface of Mount Sinai, Surely wi --have enough American vices without making any drafts upon European vices for U93.

Yankees In Valentine. ' Among the people who confidently believe that the Jews vail soon again own Palestine, is a colony of fifteen persons who live in a fine house built on the very walls of Jerusalem and who are known as 4tthe Americans." These people are not Jews at all. They are Christians who have come here from different parts of the United States, and more especially from Chicago, to await the fulfillment of the prophecy that God will regenerate, the world beginning at Jerusalem. They believe that this day is close at hand and they say it has begun in the Jews coming back to Palestine. They see its fulfillment in the improvements that are going on in Jerusalem, and cite the new roads that have been built over the country as one of the evidences of it. They are evidently people of means as well as of refinement and cuHure. When I visited them the other day I talked with several of them and found them intelligent and well educated. 1 asked one as to their belief and was answered that they had come to Jerusalem to endeavor to follow its precepts while living upon its walls. They have no particular creed, and one of them said when asked as to this, that there is too much preaching and too little good " living. They do no missionary work and say that they have not felt called upon to preach.

A Story of St, Valentine s Day.

CHAPTER Vn (Continued). Fifteen minutes later, and tho deadly

bullet lay in Noll Thanet's slight ha:ad, which then, and not till then, showed signs of tremor. Sir William eyed her keenly, Her eye, sank beneath his searching look; she turned hastily away and applied herself to the dressing of the patient's wound; but slio was not as deft as usual; somehow her sight seemed at fault, and some large tears fell. Sir William quickly took the appliances from her hand. "Let.. me finish' ho said. "You have done enough for one day you have made yourself . a name. And now," ho continued, bonding over the Colonel, "all you have to do is to get well. You have plenty of strength for that, thanks to Dr. Thanet." "Doctor who?" asked the sick man quickly. "Than et," answered Sir William "Doctor Thanet. " "Oh, why did you?" cried Nell suddenly. "Ho has fainted." She spoke in her natural voice, not in the rougher tone she had assumed. Only Sir William noted the char ge; but he made no remark. He administered a stimulant, and in a little while Lyon Leslie returned to consciousness. He looked eagerly round; but Nell had drawn back; only Sir William's great form, was visible. "Your life depends on absolute quiet," he said. "Take this, and leep." Sir William was not a man to be disobeyed; the Colonel was fain to dc his bidding, and, in a few minutes, as from very weariness, his eyes closed, and he slept., Nell then left some directions with Mrs. Mclan, and followed Sir William Into another room. jli. Parr was in haste to be gone, , to carry the glad hidings to Lady Masters. 'Youaroan ornament, sir, to the

profession," he said, shaking Nell's hand warmly, "You'll be a great man someday." . Nell's heart sank within her as the door closed, andi she was alone with Sir William. She was afraid, she scarcely knew why. He did not leave her long in suspense. He came up to her, took her passive hands in his firm grasp. "Young lady," he said kindly, "I have penetrated your secret. You know I am an unapproachable anatomist" smiling. "You are safe with me, and I wish you all success. Greater skill I never witnessed than I witnessed to-day; and I have had much experience. Tell mo one thing -I do not ask from idle curiositydid you know Colonel Gordon before?" "Yes," she answered, trembling; but I old not know it was he at first. I begged my brother to let me see the case, as I had made surgery a more particular study than he had,, and so I was led on. Ho does not recognize me, and did not know my name I was only the doctor' to him till you told him. Sir William, you will not betray meP Randall can do all that is necessary now." "Doctor Helen Thanet," he said, "you see I know all about you I've heard a good deal.. Your secret, whatever it is, is safe with me; but I refuse to give Dr. Randall Thanot the credit of what you have done. No one need know how you managed it; but the rase anc your name must be hi the medical journals. And, take my advice, my dear young lady and fellowworker lake your brother's name off your door. You can only injure each other. This is not a sort of thing you Ccin do again with impunity. I've been told quite lately a good deal about your brother; he is young enough to ehoose another career. I speak to you as I would to my own daughter. I only vish I had such a one. Then he raised Nell's hand to his lips and took his departure. . The advice given by Sir William Cheque was followed. Randall's name disappeared from his door; only his sister's remained. He had retired from ihe medical prof esssion to follow that jf literature, that was tho simple iiimouncoment made ho preform, Vooks. But a great care was taken off Nell's apprehensive heart, and an in tolerable load off .Randall's. He could be himself now, live his own life, atul feel to his fellow-man. It was Gf necessity a Litter disappointment to his father, who was at first disposed to resent it on Nell, and inclined to regard her success as an ietual injustice to her broth'Dr. It 'ook timo to force the conviction on him of, in this Instance, at any rate, female supremacy; and, when at last he grudgingly admitted thftt his daughter had won what his son had lost, and that by superior acquirements, he qualified ( the acknowledgement by asserting that the latter had failed, not from lack of oapacity, but because he had obstinately elected to become that "devious and indefinable thing a litterateur," . Prudent Mrs. Thanet never once said, "I told you sol" She wan more than satisfied that for her boy the strain of a distasteful calling was at an end, and she wrote some words of approval and cheer, urging him to justify the step he had taken by doing what sho was sure he would do, making the same mark in his new profession his sister had in the ono of which frhe was such an ornament. And in time, in very despite of himself, her husband took an increasing interest iu his daughter's career and pride in her triumphs; but, by a strange contradiction, as it seoraed, but in reality only in simple conformity to a nature given to fixed ideas, when the son, who had disappointed him so keenly did make the mark his mother predicted ho would in the world of lett ers, he felt neither pride nor satisfaction, and acknowledged no merit.

A great eagerness seemed to have come on Doctor Randall Thanot's patient, an eagerness to recover. He was no longer quiet a.nd enduring, ho was restlo.MS and unsatisfied. "I did not know that you were my old acquaintance Randall Thanot," ho said to tho latter, the evening of the operation. "You have placed mo under a life-long obligation." Randall chafed at1 the undesired acknowledgement. "I only discovered your identity," lie said hiiiy, "by Esccident; but you lake a wrong view of the matter; it is my profession that is under obligation to you. You have afforded it one of the most interesting -oases of the day; to mo personally you owe nothing, absolutely nothing -on. the score of skill." "Nurse, said tho colonel, a few days later, "Doctor Thanot has never been the same since the operation I mean at night, I tisod to watch for his right-visits ho seemed to bring an atmosphoro of soothing calm with him he never uow arranges my pillow I asked him. once; but' ho was so awkwardand then his - voice seemed to be so soft. It is such a strange metamorphosis. I can't account for itt" Mrs. Mollan thought how easily she

could; but she only smiled, and said the Colonel was getting , well and seeiug things as they were, and. not as he fancied. But the Colonel was not satisfied. At last the day. came when it was pi'onounced safo for Colonel LeslieGordon to bo moved to the country. Ho was to go to his sister's countryseat. Randall came " to bid him good-., bye, and to see him safely conveyed to the station. He did not seem to require rauch care and he said so. Wasted still, and woyn-looking, therei were-: evidences, of quickly returning strength. He had that morning dressed himself without assistance he told Randall so with satisfaction and the day before had taken a half-hour's walk in the.Green Bark without much fatigue, ....... . .v . , . I'm naturally strong," he said. . VAT week of country air will set me on my legs. You'll see that I'll be at the opening of Parliament. " ' Then he paused, and added. hesitatingly "How is your sister, Randal IP, Ivcan't?forget you were only a lad when I was at at Thorpe." ,,; . , . "My sister is well' Randall replied

a little stafly. 1 Sle lives with me' 3 ho did not addsherpractised. J - "She she went in for medicine,didn't she? -to be a nurse, I suppose?" "My aister, Colonpl Gordon, is one

of the most rising' physicians of- the 1 day. I hear the carriage you mustn't ! be late for. the train;" and, with an air of hauteur, Randall lifted the Colonelte , wraps and led the way to the door. j It had been on . Lyon Leslie's tongue :

to ask if his old acquaintance, the pretty Nell, still held him in remembrance; but the Hush on her brother's cheek warned him that he was oh dangerous ground, With a heavy sigh, a feeling of intolerable smallness, a sudden swelling up of a yearning regret, a dissatisfaction with himself and with

Randall, he followed tho latter to. the carriage. "I will come and see you," he sjid, as he took Randall's reluctant hand. "Will you remember mo to your sister?" ' : Randall bowed gravely, but.said nothing. 4

CHAPTER -Yin. i ; Colonel Gordon, in his anxiety to get well, had kept early hours' at his sister's luxurious mansion. To-night the -him es clock in the great hall had lolled the third hour of the morning jo fore ho sought his pillow. 'For hours, w hoso llight'lio hardly noted, ho "iad Fat in a great arm chair . before the fire, in his hand a lock?of dark iair, and on a tiny table at his side a massive gold locket, and chain; close o this lay an open journal the Laner. The page at which it ..was open jo re a mark from a, blue pencil. He tad read 'the. article so marked until lie could ha repeated the article without hesitation It was his own ase. Ho know now to whom he owed "us life. Late on the following day, five by its watch, ho stood in a little room where Doctor Helen Thanet . received .ier patients in the , forenoon, waiting 'lev return from her rounds. , She was not as punctual as usual. A difficult eas-e, the servants supposed. Randall was opportunely absent. He was not expected to return until the morning. , Sho came at last, her light ulster oh hor arm, and her close plain hat itf her hand glad that the day's work was over, just a little tired and anxious. "A gentleman ma'am, who would not be denied," the servant said; "he has come with n message for you. He is not a patient"- for Nell saw no patients in her own house after a certain hour. And thus these two were, once more face to face. The; servant hadgintly closed the door as he retired from showing his mistress in.For the moment Neil forgot the prostrate man, the fateful illness, the watching, and the anguish of tho month that had passed; she did not hear the faint moan, or seo the feveriififh ted eyes and -m he hollow cheeks. Memory rushed back on her a winter's day, now eight yeais a thing of the past. It filled her ears with the

rush and bustle of a departing: train

and the imperative iing of a bell; it sounded like a knoll now. It showed her, it't dim gas-lig ht, an eager, halfashamed face bonding towards hers. A warm, tremulous hand grasped hers. Tho words "Dinna forget" came back to her like a long-lost melody. Her lips moved as at a magnetic touch; she shivered the vain phantasy had passed, and she was herself once more herself calm, cool, but gentle wi thai. 'I am glad to see you so much better, Colonel Gordon," were- tho quiet, conventional words she spoke. She did not hold out her hand in greeting.

"Will you not; sit down? You must not try your strength yet;" and she brought a chair forward. ' He pushed it aside. With a sudden action, against which she was powerless, he seized her hand, and drew her to the fading light. He was still weak, even then sho could see that, and he was pale and haggard; but his eyes were eager; they looked a victor's. "Nell, iNell," he cried, "you haven't forgotten I. know you . haven't! I owe y ou one life; will you not give mo back another? T have never loved another woman, though I have tried. I am rich now. I have a name. I lay all at your feet, Nell, my darling. Look at mo with your sweot true eyes, as you did by the lake that summer day, and tell mo you love me still, and and forgive me." She did not try to roleaso her hand. She stood calmly still, as. she answered "You say you have tried to lovo another. I nevor did, Lyon Leslie; you had my first, and you will have my last. I can never forget; but I. will never marry you never marry any one. Let my harid go f roe" he had drawn her nearer. "There is a gulf

between us that can never bo bridged. Leave me in peace. I am not unhappy.now." . ; . She had struggled free, but did not turn aside. In the strength of betrayed trust, of conquered self, she stood erect and cold. All suddenly, she seemed to him unapproachable as an accusing spirit, and investedwith a dignity that raised her, even in7 person, above his height; and yet she was but a slender girl, of no commanding presence, so to speak, and with no striking beauty to catch the eye.- . "jNell, I did you wrng, " he pleaded "but what could I do? I was poor 'jh those days, and you were not all serr ous either, o you would not be givep & gagc (VavidUr to that man who calls,himself the Baron von Melkenburg. I saw it it Was a link of the chain I sent you, and it had inside the words dinna forget.'." . Then, as if suddenly inspired he continued, "I did love you, Nell, but when I found your love was not so very deep: as I had believed, I thought myself free; but I was . not. Your spell has been on me always--I-never could forget" She looked at him with a. strange wondering sorrow in her eyes. - "Lyon," she said very gently;' "you are even less true than I thought you.. You know in your heart that I never

gave that man the link he showed you. You knew it when he made the boast; but you accepted the lie it justified your falseness. You were present when he repeated that lie, and you' saw the punishment he got; but you said not a word. You are not a true man, Colonel Leslie-Gordon; the Lyon Leslie I loved was a creature of my own creation, and, like, the baseless fabrics qf all such visions, he has vanished; Do not mistake me; what,!; thought he was I shall always love,;' and I shall dream no more dreams." r .Then she turned quickly and opened a secret drawer in a cabinet, jand laid in his hand the tiny link that had been returned to her so many years ago. .'Andrew Kennett sent it bacc to me," she said ; it was stolen from my room. Read that." He obeyed her, taking iron- her a slip of paper and opening it. It rah "F do confess I did take a iinibut of Miss Thanet's chain. I did find the chain on her table one morning; her

rooimwas open, and I did do it for a bit of fun.'1 .-. ' 1 .... 'Thati4 was all.
