There tcere delicious rides together.
The long T-cation was nng down tc
the lees. August had passed into September;
and September hod softly stolen away. The
scarlet geraniums, calceolarias," and pother
WMin?-out plants which had all the summer
brightened the gardens of Hazlewood House,:
were beginning to snow bijiia ua seiiue uacay.
The under gardener found it no light work
to keep the paths free from fallen leaves.
Yet Frank Carruthers still lingered at Oak-J
bury enjoying his cousins' hospitality. Hav-,
tag assumed the post of mental physician to
Hiss Clausen, he was no doubt reluctant to
resign it until he had effected a radical (cure.1
Besides, the days slipped by happily enjSugh
There" were drives thrdgbtagrn elm
s'uaded Westshire fcuies; which lead, to hills,
frcm the sumrnZs of which fine views of the
country and the aidant sea, are obtainable.
As Horace drcve, and as Herbert invariably
occupied the bc:x cat, Frank and Beatrice
had the body cf the Lirge wagonette to them
selves, an ai-ror:c:o';-.t wlr'ch one of the two

There were tLe d3:ic:.ous rides , together.
Young Purton Ifu't the place in disgust, and
joined an eleven of old Cragtonianswho weru
wandering about England playing matches '
a far better and more healthy occupation for
a boy than hopeless lovemaking. The bay
horse-turned out such a beauty, that Frank
broke his word to Mr. Barker and did not re
sell it. . ". v-: '

Frank wa3 such a success with these that
Horace and Herbert were quite proud of
their cousin. . - " . ':
And there were walks with Miss Clauson;
and above all tlioco delightful dreamy hours
when they sat under tho sycamore, and in the
cool shade talked of everything in tha world,
the heavens above, or the waters under it; ,
Or it may bo Miss Clauson was silent, and
Frank, watching every line of her beautiful
face, knew that the disease which he himself
had taken was becoming chronic and in
' curable. ... .. :" - ;'

, , In plain English, Frank had fallen in love
" with Boatrico, in tha good ojd-f ashione J.-way,
almcst at first sigh'' Ho had gone down be-
fore her gray eyes a3 surely as had', the sus
ceptible Sylvcnus. "Would he fare any batter?
About this 'date ho often asked himself -the
above question; for he had by now made, tie
was a rejected man. ; -'-: -,
He did not learn it' from Beatrice, who,
like every true woman, wished to hide, and,,
if possible, forget the story of a man's dis
comfiture. He did not learn it from Horace
I or Herbert Although they were as fond of
gossip as men always are, wild . horses would
not have rent such a confidence from -their
kindly hearts. : Sylvanus himself waa Frank's
. informant. . . ; t; : ; - ; -J-'. ;k V;. i.'x :k :
The energetic, bustling curate had returned 1
to Uakbury. Iraring his absence the Talberts
. had requested Beatrice to decide; "as to the.
terms of intimacy which should for the future
exist between ' Hazlewood House V and Mr
Mordle. . Eeatrico quietly told her uncles
that it was her particular wish that the Rev.
Sylvanus should bo received . on 'exactly the-
.nms fr4-; 1. ' ml..- J ;i

were unable to Sep how parochial affairs
could go on unless they; worked hand in hand
with the curate. So when Sylvanus returned

self up to Hazlewood 'House as often', as he
chose. Which, ; a? he was resolved to case
harden his heart ty accustoming himself to
seeing Miss Clausen in the , . light , of nothing
more than a friend, was very often. ? j: '

such as fiction, at least, seldom allows to'ext

wrong word, for, if any stray fragment of
nope clung to Mr. Mordle's portmanteau and
so returned with him 1 to England, it was'
swept away for ever and ever as soon as tho
owner saw Frank and Beatrice together. 1 He

, It was no doubt tho desire to prove incon-
testablyto himself that he was cured, "that
made him, in a:moment of brisk conndence,
tell Frank how; ho had fared.; , The manner in
Which the COmirmtiirafcimi tvt imdA' ehnwp.-l

as much if not more than they did upon the

learning art; ' arms, landed i interest and
heredirafy sway were properly personified.
It was, indeed, ' a' representative gathering
after the Talberts' own hearts. .v-:;
But two days bljora it took place an event
happened whkrhthreatened iii ilL. Lord Kel
3ton wrote Hoface one' of those pleasant,
familiar letters'which, coming-from a lord,
are always delightful. Ho said he should
take tho liberty - of biincng his' friend Mr.
Simmoh3 with him. Aj this would raise! the
number to nine it. necessitated asking another
man': in order to equalize the sides of the
:: Then came consultation high and earnest.
Whom could they ask upon so short a notice
worthy of forming one of such a distinguished
party i Each of the Talberts woul$ have felt
insulted had he been asked by a friend to stop
a gap; so, following.. tho golden . rule- they
shrank from the task .before them. .Still,
they could not have four 1 on' one -side of the
table and threo cn the other. , f i . .. -t.
Frank listened to. their Eclemn deliberations
for seme time; then tried to help-them out -of
the difficulty. "Leave me out,", , he, said.
"Beatrice and I" he spoke of her sometimes
aow as Beatrice "will dine together " in the
aursery f of the housekeeper's room. , "Whit-:
aker can bring the dishes straight from your
able. Yf It will be delightfuL". .1; tor? V ; : ;
ihowed the utter futility of his suggestion "
- 'Why Hot ask the rector? I thought it was'
uhe duty of a country clergyman to meet
emergencies like this." ' " -
"He talks about notliing but his fishing,"
said Horace mournfully.
. "Fishing for -what? Formenr'? ' ; '
. "Ko; salmon and trout," answered Horace,'
as usual taking the matter prosaically. -
"Why not M-roZe? v Ee is capital corn-
"Ha-hum," said Horace, glancing ai'ntr
bert '.'This i3 scarcely a curate's.parig'.? -
"No, scarcely," said Herbert, shaking his
lead. . "." " : . '' :'- f-'i
A.S last they decided to ask a Mr. Turner,
but the decision was arrived at with inisgiv
nsp; for Mr. Turner was in trade. Ho was,,
iowevcr, a " merchant prince even a mer
chant emperor and, as Horace expressed il
vas a member of the aristocracy of vocJLlh. : -They
felt that Mr. Turner might be ask:d ?.i
jhert notice, and would not be '.oEcrd-d.

host who is certain to be rendered wretched
by a tureen of burnt soup, pr aj bottle .of

Horace talked : gravely and pleasantly tc

t.pellsd to attend almost entirely to Sir. Tur-
ner, whq had - ft booming .' Voaco; -vrhich he n
nated upen making heard. F. ar.k, who was

as he had feared itwould be. , - , ;- , ,
In tho course of conversation Horace learnt
that Lord Helston's friend warMr. Simmons,
the noted 'barrister,. who had- so., 'suddenly
sprung into eminence. Mr." Simmons wa3 a
Jew of gentle birth and education, and Horace
was very fend of high-class J sws. , So the two
sea got on admirably. "Frank'also.lmew"
who Mr. Simmons wai'j Herbert did not. . -;
All went on as well a the Ta!bert3 could
have ,wised rit.n the claret was placed on
the table. Then an awful thing occurred a
contretemps, which to this day is a sore sub
ject with Horace and Herbert. It all arose
from inviting tho stop-gap. Listen. ' s .
Mr. Turner, a3 loaders of commerce are
very prbperly in the habit ' cf doing, began
talking about England's commercial con
dition. " He spoke in his biggest ycice.
As he was treating upon a subject on
which he wa3 an authority, he felt he had a
right to uso it Herbert listened with his
gentle, polite smile, but felt sorry Mr. Turner
had been invited, ;-, fc"r;'; U f j --4
'What is ruining England?" boomed out
Mr. Turner. "111 tell you, my dear sir.
The Jews are ruining England." :?y - ;! 'i "i
' A3 Mr. Turner must know best, Herbert
simply bowed in acquiescence,
Horacd in the meajitinio was saying to Mr. -
mmoris: " ; V' ' ' 'i ' Y ::-yY

'It is an indisnutablo fact that the Jews
are tho most loyal, patriotic ,. race : under the
sun. Their cleverness no one ' denies. In the
finer, tho emotional arts, such as music and
poetry, it i3 generally admitted that a mar
must have a strain of J o wish blood in him tc
rise to eminence' ' . '; , .
Here Mr. Simmons bowed and smiled.
"Read one of the trade gazettes," continued '
Turner, fiercely. . .''."." "
'I should not be able to understand
ured Herbert. ,
Head the list of bills of sale," shouted Tur
ner. "See the Levis, the Abrahams, the
Moseses who are battening on borrowers; The
Jews are the curse of the country. They art
And Horace, who, although he shuddered
at Mr. Turner's strident tones- avoided listen
ing t6 . his . words, was saying., to his neigh
bor: i V'H I ::-Y '? ; ' ;'Vi j - -K" -

The drawing-room door, liki every other

out' noise. -. There are ! some i people's doors
which always scraioe; and banc, iust as there
are some ; people's shoes which always creak.
The Talberts',, shoes never creaked. The
Talberts' doors never uttered a sound. 'Sc
Fi'ank stood on the thick," soft 5 carpet and
looked at Miss Clauson,, who had no ideahat
her solitary exile Was ended.;. ?. t ' '

JVJr. Camtfar stood tcatching her.
He ; knew .. he was doing wrong- knew he
ought to make her aware of his presence-
but the picture waa to him so divinely beau
tiful that ha could not help himself.
The girl : was perfectly dressed ; if fault
could bo found with . her attire it was that it
wa3 a trifle! too eld for her aje. Her arras
and neck gleamed white and fair from the
black satin of the dress, which fitted as a
dress can enly fit a form like hers. Tho rich
brown hair was jcunningly and 'becomingly.
coiled, and without jewel or even flower to
datract from its own native glory, r No won

in admiring silence!
f And as he watched ne saw, or fancied he
sa Wi tears risin t. to? those cra7 etes. :This
'was mere than human, nature could bear,
' Mr. Carruthers to this day assures himscll
that 1 he entered that drawing-room with no
intention of precipitating matters. We inay
believe him," because, as it Was probable that
in a few minutes nine respectable middle-aged
gentlemen would troop in, the occasion was
not a propitious one. So.it is clear : that he
acted cn the impulse of the moment.
He never know how he dared to do it, but
before she looked round he - was at her side,
hisarmwa3 round her a music bench offers
dangerous facilities, it has no back and he
was telling her with passionate eloquence that
he loved her be loved her! There , was none
of poor Mr. Mordle's hopelessness about this
ardent young Carruthers.
. -'But how did Beatrice take' it? -With a low
cry. as of fear, perhaps aversion, she sprang
to her feet and stood for a moment looking
at him with a face as pate as death. . Then
without a word she turned and went swiftly
towards the door. ; Frank, with a face as pale
as her own, followed and. intercepted, her. He,
grasped her hand.

,- . : Charlotte, if. C, Dec. 10, 1884.
I have msed Mrs. Joe Person's Reme
dy, aad it isr tbe finest medicme TeY.er
used for ,Bhenmatism.' For more than
twenty jears I hare been afflicted with
muscular , Rheumatism, and . had tried
every , known remedy, but" . without
avail.8 I' was often sobad off and suf
fered 1 W much, that I could not -lie
down, but had t6 be propped up in bed.
I had been subject to, these severe "at
tacks,: for, twenty"" years, tried, Mrs.
rerson7 Kemedy last spring, and am I
perfectly cured. ; It is the best medicine
in 'the world; I think. No : words of
mine can express the benefit' I have de
rived from its use I suffered from nal-
if.artn nf tK 1,4 lioof .
ertion. Of that I am perfectly relieved.
My health is now perfect and jt is all
owing to Mrs Joe Person's Remedy. I
am strong ana wen, ana can ta&e ex
tended exercise without fatigue; I ad
vise all wno need a Tonic, or are suffer
ing with Kheumatism or Eczema, 'to
take it. I was induced to try.it by it
