Nothing I ate agreed with me. I took chron
le diarrnopa, and for some time my life wan
despaired of by my family. The leading iihy
jicilans of the country were consulted, but
the medicines administered by them never
did me any permanent good, and I lingered
between life and death, the latter being pre
ferable to the agonies r was enduring. In
May, 1888, 1 became disgusted with nhysi

all and depended solelv on 8witt's Specific

permently well well from then until now.

"Lizzie his gone again," said Mrs.
Crest ''Lizzie's no sort of use to me of
late. I don't know what's come to the
child, but she doeB act to me u if she
was bewitched."
Frances Crest set down the hlue
rimmed plate she was wiping with it
coarse noinespun towel.
"Where is she, mother?" said she.
"Out in the woods, I suppose. It's
where she always goi-s."
"Mother, you must rememlier that
Lizzie is young. Dun t lie hard

Mrs. Crest was Farmer Obed Crest's
second wife, and Fniimes. the tall, pale
girl with the somlier brown eyes and
the oval, colorless face, huh the good
woman's stepdaughter, while nrettv
18-year-old Lizzie waa her own n1i
only child.
"Hut for all that," said .lrn. Crest. "1
put a deal more dependence on Frances
than 1 do on Lizzie. Frances is all the
same to me as my own child!
"Hard upon her!" she repeated queru
lously. "What I'm afraid of is that I'm
ton easy with her. She's alwavs had
her own way in everything. And she
takes it dreadful hard that you should
be going to Albany and she left at homo.
' never knew such nonsense in my life!"
A disturlied expression passed over
Frances' face.
"It's natural she shoald feel so,
mother." she urged gently.
Frances Crest had diligently taught
....I I r ,i .
.nm.i lor uiree consecutive seasons to
earn the money for (his coveted winter
in Albany, during which she had prom
ised herself to take music lessons and
add to her knowledge of urtand litera
ture. For she was engaged to Stephen Ells
worth, and she funged with an exceed-
I ing great deHire to make herself worthy
of his love.
! "I'm only a country girl." sho said to
, herself, "and he lives in the city, where
! he is meeting brilliant women every
j day. And it would he dreadful if, after
we were married, he should he ashamed
of me!"
Mrs. Rigney, a distant cousin of the
Crests, had offered to givo Frances a
home for the winter for what use she
could render in household matters, and
the money she hail saved was to he spent
in suitable dress, lessons and other ex
IK'nses. And, best of all, she would see Stephen
Kllsworth every day.
She (hushed ' her" household tasks and
went quietly out to the nook in the woods
where site knew that she should find
Lizzie.
And here, with her head leaning list
lessly against a tree trunk, sat a lovely
girl of scarcely eighteen, with deep blue
eyes, full, cherry red lips, and a com
plexion like a balsam flower. One hand
was immersed iiithecool, runninir water:
the other held a crumpled pocket hand
kerchief, drenched with tears.
Lizzie! exclaimed Frances,
have been crying!"
The blue eyes sparkled resentfully.
"Crying? Of course I've been crying!'
retorted Lizzie Crest. "Who wouldn't
cry, to be left alinm in this dismal hole
all winter lung, while you are enjoying
yourself in the city? But I won't stay
here. I'll run away and go on the stage.
or else I II drown myself in Packer's
pool!
"Lizzie! Lizzie! think what
saying!"
"1 don t care!" pouted Lizzie. "What
is life worth in a place like this?
And she burst into a fresh flood of
tears.
Frances sat down aud took the gulden
neaa tenderly into her lap.

"And 1 11 watt another year," added
r ranees, swallowing a lump in her
throat. "You shall have the music les

wnai a winter in t lie city is like.
Lizzie's eyes sparkled; her cheeks were
red. hlie Hung her arms around Frances'
neck, with a sudden cry of rapture,

"Yes. I do," bravely uttered Frances
"But mother won't consent."
"1 will see to that."
Once more Lizzie showered soft, warm

"Oh. you darling! you sweet, guar

"ou shall escape, Lizzie." said Fran
ces.
And no one ever knew the bitterness
of the tears she sited when Lizzie weut
lo Albany.
.Mrs Crest remonstrated stoutly, but
r ranees held to her own way, and Liz
zie s entreaties were not to lie withstood.
"r ranees don't care," pleaded she.
"Frances always was a human icicle.

"And so much prettier," quietly spoke
the eluer sister. "es, Lizzie dear, I
know it."
Lizzie laughed and hissed her golden
curls.
"At all events," said she, "I think
ought to have a fair chance."
Lizzie's letters from Albany were full
of life and simrkle. Shu was like a bird
let loose. F.ven thing was couleur de
rose to her. The gay streets were a
dream of delight: the opera was an actual
reality. Her new dresses filled her with
delight; she was improving so fast in
music and drawing, nd she could not
imagine how she had ever lived all those
dreary, dragging years in the old farm
house at home.

She could not say enough in praise of
Stephen Kllsworth lie was so hand

sion on Stall street was so elegant, he

And Frances, reading those letters al '

teaching was over, tried to rejoice in her '
youim sister's happiness.

"Wife." said Fanner Crest hoarsen-
when Frances had gune up to bed, full
of her new plan, "l don't know'g we I

"Why not, Olieil?"
"I saw Dr. Jones' ton lrnV.'-gjuig

"Olied Crest, you're a-dreaium'!''
"I wish 1 was, wife I wish I was!
But it's only what we'd ought to have
expected. Lizzie is as pretty as a picter
and as frothy as a howl o' soapsuds, and
brimful o' mischief into the bargain.
And Ellsworth's only a mortal man,
after all. Frances ought to have mar-

her to do so, only she wouldn't leave us
until we'd paid the inorUriu-i. ti,

"But. Olied. what are we to do? I

"Nor 1. neither. There's no help fur

self." And he let his wrinkled forehead fall
into his hands with a groan.
Just then the door opened.
A tall, slight, figure came in like a
gliding shadow.
"I've heard it all. father," said Frances,
"and you mustn't blame either Stephen

"Come in!" called Lizzie's sweet so
prano voice; and, with a sudden quick
cuing of her heart, she obeyed.
Was that little Lizzie standing by the
nro, one uaiiity, slippered toot on the
fender.Jier gleaming silken guwn held
up by a slim w hile hand, w hile her ex
quisite prolile was outlined against the
ruby velvet of the lambrequin?
She looked more like a princess a
tairy queen In tins atmosphere of
change and happiness she hud fairly
blossomed out like a rose in mid June.
And that tall figure in tho shadow be
yond "Frances! Dear, dear Frances!"
In a second Lizzie was in her arms.
"You got my letter, love the letter 1
wrote to you yesterday the letter that
lold you all?"
"I have received no letter, Lizzie. I
left home e.ulv this morning. Hut-
where is Capl. Ellsworth? '
Here right here heiure vour eves
Come here, Clarence, and let me intro-
luce you to your new sister, for we lire
engaged, r ranees. Clarence and 1 Thnt
is my mysterious secret."
The tall figure advanced with a luili
tarv sort of salute
It was not Stephen at all. but a taller
younger, less impressive looking man.
Frances liowed in a bewildered way.
"Hut Stephen, w lieu is Slei n il?" she
isked
Gone down to Woodlield, Francie
. C. . . . . I ,
meryoii. necause ne savs lie means
there shall be a double wedding if there'
to be a single one. and he declares h
won t wait any longer lor you lo make
up your mind. And how puzzled he w ii
lie, to be sure, w hen he limb the bird has
flown! Are you very much surprised
riauces.- nut. you see. t iarence is m
the regular army; not a mere uiiliii;
captain like Stephen. He is .stationed in
Florida, and he was spending his leave
ot absence with his cousins here in Al
bany; and so, of course. I couldn't help
getting acquainted with him, because
ateplit-n came here every day to talk
about you, and Clarence alwavs came
wun nun. V n it 1 es, i larcuce; go
away now and get the flowers for tin
evening reception at Miss Bird's, for I've
got so much to sav to mv sister."
She dismissed her handsome lover
with the in incha lance of a queen, and
then showered caresses anew on Frances.
"Isn't he splendid, darling?" she cried.
And only think, 1 owe it all to vou; for
if it hadn't been for your sending ine
here, 1 never should have met him at
all. And we'll telegraph to Stephen at
once, and you will consent to he married
at the same time with me won't you,
dear?"
Y'ea," said Frances, her eyes brim
ming over with blissful team, "I will!"
