CHAPTER

"Be friends, sweetheart, and I promise n'ever to disappoint you again.'

could forgive you more easily, Bob, if I did not mow that you spent the evening at the Fishers'. You know I am jealous of Audrey, yet you will go there to make me miserable, I suppose. Then you come and coax me into forgiveness and repeat the offense directly you are temptea to do so."

Don't be cross, Jessie it spoils the effect of that pretty pearl bonnet." The pretty brunette put her little {loved hand to her head, and patted her

The

curly fringe as she said: Just look at the rain, I wonder the bonnet is not spoilt, and auntie gave two guineas for it at Elise's."

Bob looked with interest at the sort of beaded cap that was made entirely of pearls, with just a knot of deep crimson velvet to fasten it under tne dim* pled chin.

Jessie Yennimore was as pretty a girl as one could find in a day's march, tail and erect as a young larch, with full bust, slim waist, and all the graceful curves of Thorwaldsen's Venus. Just now her dusky eyes "gloomed" upon her lover, yet the sensitive lips with their

Domeeranate

bloom broke into a

tender smile, and one shapely hand was held out to show she could be friendly in a second, soft-hearted little spit-fire as she was.

Bob Raynor saw her relenting, and eagerly clasped the little hand his, while he leant forward and sealed his peace upon her vivid lips in a lingering kiss. "Oh, Bob, suppose someone saw you." "Not likely, love but if anyone did envy would be their portion."

Splash, splash, beat, beat, came the rain, as they stood beneath the archway of the old palace for shelter, till the courtyard was full of glittering pools, and Jessie's tight Newmarket coat was damp with the drifting rain-drops.

It seems natural to fall into silence while watching the tears of the sky fall to freshen the tifcrth, which it soothes more when it weeps than when it smiles. .1 Bob's proud, loving eyes were eager4 ly drinking in the pensive beauty of his sweetheart's looks, and feeling his fond regard she looked up, flushing into fresh loveliness beneath his ardent gaze. "Rex has come home, Bob dear." "Has he, pet? I am sorry for that. I do hope he will not persecute you with *his unwelcome attentions as he did last

It is unwelcome still, is it not,

fttd belle?" "You know it is. I would give ten years of my life to be rid of his mad love-making, it makes me wretched. 1

Do you know. Bob, sometimes, though jj**

a

I know how silly it is, I feel afraid of him he is so fierce, so relentless and untiring." "I wish I could take you away from 4 them, darling, and keep you to myself.

It maddens me to know that you are *v exposed to your cousin's cruelly covetous love, when the year is out I hope to be able to ask you to throw in your lot with mine, darling, to be my precious little wife. Do you think you will care to come?" "Need you ask me that, Bob?" "No, I don't think I need, yet it is so eweet to hear you confess your love that I can't resist the temptation to make you own it. Say you love me,

Jcssio "I love you dearly, Bob," answered the girl simply, with her radiant dark eyes earnestly answering the love light in his.

When will you meet me again, lady'j bird? Let it be soon, and try to stay longer with me." "I will njeet you by the river close to -A( the railway bridge, to-morrow evening „at nine, if I can get rid of Rex." "Hang Rex! say you will come.—

Where there's a will there's a way, you know, and a woman is always full of resources: you can be a cunning little rogue when you like, little woman." "Well, then, I will comp, even if I

have to run away from Rex -and rouse his evil temper. He has got a temper it makes auntie quake as though she were the earth and he a slumbering ,* volcano. See, the rain is over now, ana

'i-

I declare there's a splendid rainbow. /•r What glorious colors! One end dips right over the house-tops yonder."

Jessie drew Bob out of the archway,

... and they stood a second looking at the broad expanse of sky with the vivid arc of promise crowding it \Hth jewel tints. "Let me see you to the foot of the hill, pet, for I suppose you must be off.

It's ngarly six o'clock and I know you dine at seven." "Yes, I must go, dear, but I wish you would not come any further with me we might meet Rex, and it would only •a cause a useless quarrel and upset auntie who is not at all well now." "Good-bye, then, my own darling I shall count the hours till we meet again." "Good-bye, Bob dear. Mind, you must not flirt with Miss Fisher, for my sake." "I never did flirt with her, my queen, only in your jealous imagination. I respect her too much to make sport of her with love which should be a woman's religion, a good gift from her pure heart that should be rewarded by an equal return, and even if you did not exist I could not love Audrey Fisher, though she is a dear, good, jolly little foul." "Ah. and a beauty." -v. "Not when, you are by, Jessie you know that." "Nonsense, you only tell me that to 4 make me believe you don't admire blonde beauties. But now really I must go let go my hands. I won't fail. to-morrow nieht at nine. Good-bye." "Good-bye, sweetheart." -,Bob lifted his hat, and stood a second iooking after the graceful, girlish figure that flitted so soon out of sight.

Then he sighed and set his face in the opposite direction, and walked swiftly tOT he came to a quiet street, where the houses had a respectable old-world look.

In the centre of the wide street, standing back, as though in dignified renerve, from its Jesser neighbors, stood

:iifilB SllfiS

a nanasome rea-Dnc* mansion cauea The Poplars. The hall door was wide open, and guarded by a noble bloodhound.

Dr. Raynor smiled as the hound sprang out to welcome his master. A momentary pride of birth and his old home swelled. Bob's heart as he looked up at the glinting windows and txBQS

Bob entered the shadowy hall where stained windows made patches of bright color.

A pretty pale girl came out to welcome him—a girl with his own open, honest look, and the same candid, deepset, dark-fringed grey eyes. "I expected you home to four o'clock tea BOD." "bid you, dear? I am sorry I could not come. I was detained. Have you been lonely?" "Oh, no Audrey Fisher dropped in, and of all people in the world, Rex Yennimore." "What on earth did he want here?" "I don't know he made himself very pleasant, and went away with Audrey. Are you vexed, dear?" "Not vexed exactly, only I cant quite understand this sudden friendliness on Mr. Vennimore-8 part. Perhaps he fancied he should find Jessie here." "Dear Jessiq I wish she could come, Bob. I miss her dreadfully, but I suppose it is better she should stay away if it is her aunt's wish."

Brother and sister had entered a rose-scented parlor, a quaint apartment with painted windows, dark-panelled walls, with a look of sombre grandeur about it.

A big china bowl, full of spring flowers, stood in the centre of an inlaid table, and beside it a shabby velvet lounge-chair with cosy cushions.

BOD sank into it wearily he had been up half the night before, and his round had tired him that day a sudden oppression of spirits had come upon him.

Yiolet kissed his hot forehead fondly, then rang a bell which summoned a neat handmaid.

Have you any hot strong tea in the kitchen, Susan?" Yes miss*"

Then bring Dr. Raynor a cup at once, please." "You need not have troubled about me, Violet I am only a little tired." "Yes, dear, arift the tea will refresh you."

Dr. Raynor took the tea and drank it :atefully, thinking all the while of essie's loving looks as she turned to smile upon him at parting.

Meanwhile, Jessie had hurried up the hill, and was met half-way up by her cousin Rex, a handsome, gipsy-faced young fellow, who asked her curtly where she had been*. "For a walk," she answered. "What, in the rain?" "Oh, I stood up." "Where?"

1

"What can that matter to you. Rex? You question all my actions as though I were a child." "So you area child, a pretty perverse child, whom one cannot help loving, even when one knows he is a fool for his pains." "I am not a child. Why, I shall be twenty-one in October." "Twenty-one, and your own mistress are you glad of that?" "Of course I am. Why should I not be glad?" "You should not be glad for one thing beeause every day after twenty is a step farther from one's youth but I know you are glad for Robert Raynor's sake. I saw his sister to-day she has grown into a nice sort of woman, rather simple and sentimental, but pleasant. Audrey Fisher was there.— What a lovely creature she is! Blonde and beautiful as a Venus by Rubens. Raynor admires her immensely, I hear, ana no wonder one rarely sees such a splendid bit of feminine humanity. I took her home. She can use her eyes, by Jove! she made me feel quite spooney." "Your natural state, cousin, when near a pretty woman. I am glad you admire Audrey, because aa she is exactly my opposite it gives promise of your leaving me in peace and transferring your attentions to one who will better appreciate them." "Jess, you area wicked little witch you rouse me out of myself as nothing else can." "That's a blessing you'd better be anything than yourself. Ah, here we are, and auntie looking out for us." "It was a large house on the hill, and a fine faded face appeared at one of the open windows above a box of mignonette. She smiled as Jessie waved her hand, and hastened on to run up the steps and be in before Rex. "I was afraid you would get wet, dear," said the Honorable Mrs. Venninimore, as the girl brushed her forehead with her cool, fresh lips. "No, auntie, I am not wet. Are you not ready for an hour's drive it's so delicious out now?" "I shall not go before dinner, dear, there's no time I was just going to dress. I had a nice doze, when I woke up I sent Rex to find you. Had you not better go to your room? You have but half an hour to dress, dear, and you are such a lazy puss that will hardly give you time to smooth your hair."

With a feeble sigh and a faint fluttering of her huge feather-fan the old lady sailed majestically out of the room, a mass of expensive millinery and hardly existing life.

Rex entered as his mother made her exit, and crossed quickly to Jessie's side. She had begun to pull off her long gloves and would have followed her aunt had he allowed her to do so, but with a covetous Sigh he put his hands on her shoulders and smothered her beautiful lips with fierce, jealous caresses. "How dare you, Rex?" die said, shaking herself free indignantly. "What harm is there in a kiss, cousin?" "A great deal of harm when your kisses insult a woman you should respect, she being under your mother's guardianship, and cannot get away from your unwelcome attentions. I despise you for your unmanly freedom." "Oh, I know how you hate me, but my power over your future is gigantic, and 1 have months to use it to my own advantage." "It is brave to make war with a woman. is it not? Yet unequal as the battle will be, 1 feel sure that the victory will be mine. Please let me pass." "Not until you have kissed me." "Then we shall wait here till your mother returns, for I will never kiss you of my own free will. I loathe the

very contact of your lips, you know that, yet you are mean enougn to force

Your turcica mnu scss ss

asxasg

some day, Jessie, if there be use in sticking to one purpose with all one's soul ana strength." "It is a poor strength and a black soul that can torture a woman, as you torture. But thank God it is only for a few months more, then I shall be beyond your malice. Ah, that is right, let me go. I feels as if I could forget the softness of my sex and strike you, cur that you are!"

CHAPTER N.

"MOtner, I believe Jessie meets Dr. Raynor daily. You must take her away from here. I mean to marry her before the year is out, by fair means if I can, if not, by foul. We are her only relatives, she is friendless but for these Raynors. I am fond of the girl, and we cannot afford to let her fortune go out of the family, so you must help me to gain my end." '*What can I do more than I have done? Rex. do be reasonable." "You could have taken her abroad out of that fellow's reach "But she would not go." "Nonsensel she was bound to go where you chose to take her, but you were too weak to press the matter properly. I intend to act differently, I can teli you. Now I have left college^my time is my own, I mean to stick txfthis little difficulty until it is done away with and the girl won."

Rex towered darkly above his mother, an evil look in his dusky eyes, tbe picture of force and resolve. His mother shrugged her thin shoulders and saidpeevisnlv: "I don't see wh] you should try to compel Jessie to be you wife you could live very comfortably upon your income, if you would only keep within bounds, and be content, as your father was. with a quiet, decorous life." "But I will not be content, ma mere, so why worry me with such prosy talk? I want the girl as much as her money." "Just because you have been denied both. It was ever so with you from childhood. Well, I hope your plans, whatever they are, will not bring you intoStrouble." "Do you mean to help me, mother? I warn you that if Jessie is not my wife before the year's out. I'll marry that pretty actress you bother your head so much about, and live abroad." "Don't say that, Rex. I'd rather see you in your grave than bound to that wicked woman." 'She is not wicked, only just as deliriously naughty as she dare be, and the jolliest little wretch in England. I wish all women were such good company. Here comes Jess not another word of Dolly as you love me."

Mrs. Vennimore sighed as Jessie entered, her cheeks still crimsoned -by resentment. She was tastefully attired in

a

black lace dress heavily beaded with jet the bodice, cut square, showed her white neck and left bare her beautiful arms.

Crimson poppies nestled behind her tiny ear, and abroad sash of the same deep red kept her skirts in place.

Rex thought he had never seen l)er look more lovely, and he tried hard to win forgiveness for his rash and ill-ad-vised freedom but in vain, she was barely civil, and that only out of consideration for her atint who looked worried and weary

Dinner passed in moody silence when it was ended Rex brought an Eastern wrap and asked Jessie to go out on the balcony with him as he wished to speak to her.

Fearing, for his mother's sake, to rouse his rough temper wain, she consented, placing some red roses in her bosom as she went.

Mrs. Vennimore took up a novel with a sigh of relief, and watched them as they stood on tne moonlit balcony looking towards the silvery Thames. ix lighted a cigarette, and between the puffs, said in that cool tone of his: "I'm sorry I vexed you to-day, Jess, but you fire a fellow so with your disdainful beauty, that one loses his head before he knows where he is."

Jessie's lip curled, and her thoughts flew to one man who never lost his head, but was always steady, true, reliable and tender.

Rex, not noticing her silence, said: "How beautiful the river looks tonight will you be sorry to leave it?" "Leave itl What do you mean?" "I mean that 1 intend to take my mother away for awhile on account of her failing health, and, of course, as you are under her guardianship, you will accompany us."

Jessie felt as though an icy hand had clutched about her heart. To leave Richmond and be taken away from Bob's protecting presence had never entered her head. It was too horrible, all her boasted courage seemed to desert her.

Rex saw her consternation, and laughed a mocking laugh as he said: "You don't seem to relish the idea, Jess, but you must submit for once the journey cannot be delayed on any pretext."

A feeling of despair and defeat came upon Jessie. It wanted but a few months to her freedom, yet what might not this man's evil strength compass in that time?

She knew how vain it was to struggle against his decision when it had once been'fixed upon. Her aunt too was but a tool in his hands whom he could use to his own purpose Jessie knew she must submit, so she said lightly: "One place will be as unendurable as another, if your society must be inflicted upon me. When do we go?" "I have not yet decided soon, at any rate, and considering you must submit to my society, my pretty vixen, I should advise you to do so with civility. Come, be friends I'm too fond of you to be on ill terms." I Jessie shuddered as he put his arm round her waist she disengaged herself silently for she saw her aunt"had fallen

As she bent over the balcony the roses dropped from her bosom to the garden below someone standing there in the shadow nicked them up and pressed them to nis lips, which were white with passion, for he had seen Rex put bis arms about tbe woman he loved with such reverent, adoring devotion saw, and dared not interfere for her sake.

Still, he could haunt the house and keep an unseen, unsuspected guard over her whom his heart held dearer than life, his pure innocent girl-love.

... by every law of love, and who was only your caresses upon me. Oh, I hate you separated from him for a few months. 1 •at if |3) I

Oh, it was horrible to think that she was compelled to live in the same house with the man who persecuted her so cruelly, she who was his, his very own,

done passion lifted "him out of his workaday world and inspired him with a desire to defend his darling against all the world.

But wishes were powerless, and he knew he should but increase her trouble by seeking to help her now.

So he waited with hot resentment maHng a tempest in his mind, waited till he saw Jessie outlined against the yellow lamp-light, the faint moonbeams increasing the pallor of her passionate face then he saw Mrs. vennimore come out and stand beside her niece.

A second later Rex brushed close by him in the shadows, toith his hands thrust deep into his pockets, and puffing a cigar furiously between his teeth.

Something that was almost murderous moved Sob's usually calm heart to quicker beating, with a stern effort he mastered his desire to quarrel with his rival and stood still till ne had passed out of sight then, with a muttered prayer for his darling's safe keeping, he went out into the white road and walked hurriedly homeward.

A pleasant, homely scene greeted his arrival in the quaint, panelled parlorViolet, with aglow of happiness lighting up her pale face, sat beside a clerical looking Hercules, whose pleasant, plain face reflected the happy content of hers, and making dreamy music with idle, wandering fancy was a lovely waxen woman, bending her flaxen head over the yellow keys of the sweet-toned old piano. "I told you I would be in time to take you home, Audrey you see I have kept my word. Just sing us one song and then we'll be off it is getting late, and the father may feel anxious." "Sing 'The day is done,' Audrey John is so fond or that." "You good little thing, and you are so fond of John," answered Audrey in a low, sweet voice, as Violet searched for the song amid an untidy pile of well-worn music.

With unaffected readiness and grace Audrey sang, and the words sank into Bob's troubled heart, the winged words seemed to fold themselves about his soul and bring peace. No longer he felt cruel resentment tear at his heart.

Walking beneath the quiet light of the stars, Bob opened his heart to his sister's friend and told her his trouble and anxiety on Jessie's account. He did not dream that the story of his love for another sank like a poisoned arrow into the quivering heart of the girl who gave him ready and welcome sympathy. "Of course your suit was dismissed so curtly to make room for* her cousin. Do you think he loves her, or is it only her money he wants?" "Such love as his can be but an insult, and I would to God the money were his, for if it were not for that, my darling could have come to me before. I have

need for it. I can earn a fair

income to what I already possess, and it would be such happiness to feel my wife depended upon me for everything." "Money is a good thing, Bob, and you can do with more than you have now, I feel sure, but I hope in this case money may not prove, as it so often does, more a curse than a blessing. If it were not for the money, perhaps Mr. Vennimore might have the grace to retire and leave the field clear to you. But.I do not see that you need fear if you are sure of a woman's heart you may be sure of her, and the man cannot force her to marry him against her will." "I know that. I know he will never win her but by fraud, but I feel as full of forebodings as an old woman." "I wish. Miss Vennimore would let me be her friend/' said Audrey, thoughtfully "perhaps I might help you both* Will you introduce me to her?" "Of course I will there is nothing I desire more than to see you friends. I will manage that you shall meet soon. I am sure you will like Jessie exceedingly she is such an honest little soul, and so terribly lonely." "Lonely!" repeated Audrey, after he had said good-night. "Lonely! and she has his love! Were I so placed I should not feel lonely, if but he and I people*' the whole world. Oh, how shall I bear my life? How mad I have been to fancy he cared for me, and so let him win all the love of my life. I wish Rex Vennimore could make Jessie marry him. I wonder if I could help him? If she were once married, who

I might catch my hero's heart at the rebound. I know he likes me a little. I will think about it. My love after all may not be quite hopeless."

At the appointed hour by the riverside the lovers met. The spring-tides had flooded the towing-path, and a heavy shower had made the trees an unsafe shelter the rain-drops dripped unpleasantly, wetting the seats and making things generally uncomfortable.

Jessie shivered beneath the light dust-cloak she wore, and Bob, always anxious for his darling's health, sugshould go to his house

a while, so that she might not take

He received the news with evident concern. "I am afraid, darling, that your cousin has some plan to separate us. Can you be brave and resist him when you are far away from me? Can you keep your faith in me firm and unshaken under evil report? Oh, my queen, my heart aches at the thought of parting. I fear I know not what." "Do not make trouble, Bob dear. God knows there may be trials enough without our suffering by anticipation. You may rely upon my faith in you nothing they can say or do shall alter that. I will keep true till you are dead or married. That does not sound nice, does it? Yet it promises well. Only a few months, Bob, and I can come to

fou

and say: 'Bob, take care of me, for love you more than life.'" "My own dear love, I.would that time were come."

Bob opened the door with a latchkey, and removed Jessie's damp hat ana cloak for her in the hall, so that she entered the well-lighted sittingroom neat and fresh as when she leit her own apartment.

Violet welcomed her brother's beautiful betrothed warmly, and her bosom friend, flaxen-hairea Audrey Fisher, came forward and with a winning smile professed herself charmed to see one of whom she had often heard such kindly mention.

The two girls made a great and picturesque contrast standing together In the centre of the quaint, sombre-tinted room, one glowing like an Eastern dream, the other pale and fair as a pic* tured Mairdaleu. ..

AU Jessie nature receivea a at the sight of her rival she had hated the sound of her name, now she was volted by the sight of her face.

Audrey noted the erect carriage of the head, the proud curl of the sensitive lip, and felt that for once her sweet seductive manner had failed in its desired effect. She felt assured that Jessie neither liked or believed in hex, yet she did not show that she had Noticed her rival's repugnance on t' contrary, she was more charming thau ever, and Bob thought Jessie must be taken by her pleasant manner and amusing and witty talk.

Violet after a time drew her friend aside, and left the lovers alone to discuss their coming separation in uninterrupted security, violet could but notice how restless and excited her friends had become, for Audrey's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes brightened by an uncontrollable excitement.

An emotion of deadly envy and jealousy assailed her she could not endure that the same roof should shelter her and her rival she felt she could do anything in the world to tear the lovely gipsy from Bob's heart for ever.

She wondered how she could come between them, how she'could put herself in the place of the dark, proud beauty who had so easily won all she valued upon earth. She taxed her brain for a plan to aid her evil purpose, but in vain, till aloud knock came to the hall door and Rex Vennimore was announced. Then the notion came to her that she would make an ally of him, and get him to point out a path for her.

She did not heed Violet's whispered caution: "Please, dear, do not let him know that Jessie is here."

And when she found an opportunity she whispered to Rex: "I want to speak to you alone vwlet will leave us directly to warn her brother of your arrival."

A moment later Violet did leave them, and Audrey laid a white shaking hand upon his arm.

Rex looked amazed at her emotion as she whispered: "Your cousin, Jessie Vennimore, is here she came in with her lover. Dr. Raynor. Am I right in supposing that their engagement is displeasing to you?" "Quite right. By Jove! there is nothing I would not ao to part them." "Shake hands on that, so would I.— Hush! here comes Violet do not let her see that you know your cousin is here. Let it pass surely we can undo what little mischief can De done by her visit. See me home, and we'll talk it over. Ah, Violet! you here? Mr. yennimore has kindly offered to be my* escort home. I think I had better go while I have the chance. I hear the rain hdS C63S6d»"

Violet gave her friend a grateful look, and saw them, depart with evident relief. "It was so good and clever of Audrey to carry off the enemy," she thought. [The continuation of this story will bs found in the succeeding issues ot this paper.]

That* a common expression and has a world of meaning. How much suf%ring is summed up in it

The sing- Jar thing about it is, that pain in the back is occasioned by so manythings. Maybe caused by kidney disease, liver complaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism,dyspepsia,overwork, nervous debility, &c.

Whatever the cause, dont neglect it Something is wrong and needs prompt attention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as BROWN'S IRON BITTERS, and it does this by commencing at the foundation, and making the blood pure and rich.

Wm. P. Marshall, of Logansport, Indiana,writes My wife has for many years been troubled from pain in her back and general debility incident to her sex.
