But drive as fast as he would, he could not; forget the sweet. childish fuco tlut lud taken such a strong hold upan his funny. The trembling red lips and pleading blue eyes llmuntod him all the morning, us though they hold some secret they would Iain have whispered. All the night long Daisy clung to the hands that held hers, begging and praying her not to leave her alone, until the [poor old lady wns quite overâ€" come by the fatigue of continued watching beside her couch. Rest or 'llecp seemed to hive fled from Dcisy's bright, restless eyes. V "Don't. go away," she cried; “everyâ€" oody goes away. I do not belong to Any one. I am allâ€"allâ€"slono," she would sigh. dreiirily. Algain she fancied she was with Rex, standing beneath the magnolia boughis in the sunshine; again, she was clinging to his armâ€"while some cruiel woman insulted herâ€"sobbing pitifully upon this lbreiast; again, she was parting from him at the gate, asking him if what they had done was right; then she was in some schosl- room, begging ipiteously for some cruel letter, then out on the waves in the storm and the on-coming dark- ness of night. The sisters relieved one another at regular intervals. They had celsed to listen to her pathetic little apâ€" peals for help, or the wild cries of agony that lburst from the red fevâ€" erish- lips as she s'tarl’e-l up from her sl'uimbe'rs with stifled sobs'. moaning out that the time was flying; that she must escape anywhere, anywhere, while there were still fifteen minutes left her. She never once mentioned Stan- w'l'ck's name, or Septima's. but called incessantly lfOI‘ Rex and poor old Un- sle John. ' "‘Who in the world do you suppose Rex is?" said lVIatilda. thoughtfully. "That name is continually on her lips â€"â€"'the last word she utters when she closes her eyes, the first word to cross her lips when she awakes. That must certainly be the handsome young fel- low she met at the gate. If he is Rex I do not wonder the poor child loved him; no. He was the. handsom- est. micst noble-looking, frank-faced young man I hive ever seen; and he took on in a way that made me actu- ally cry when I told him she. was mar- ried. He would not believe it, until I called the child and she told him herself it was Lb: ltruth. l was sorry from the bottom of my heart that young fellow lind not won her in- stead of this Stanwick, they were. so suited to each other." "Ah," said Riuth, after a moment's pause, "I think 1 have the key to this mystery. She loves this ll‘llld- some Rex, that is evident; perhaps they had n Livers' quarrel. and she has murrie-l this one on the spur of the moment through pique.

The crisis had passed. and Dr. \Vest sziid she would soon recover.

"You have been like a ray of sunshine in this gloomy old bonse. “We have all learned to love you very dearly."

A sudden change came over Diiisy's face as the sound of her footsteps died away in the hall. "Oh. God! help me!" she cried, pitcâ€" orusly. struggling to her feet. "I must be fur away from. here when daylight breaks.” She was so weak she almost fell back on her bed again when she at- tempted to rise. The thought of the marrow lent strength to her flagging energies. A strange mist seemed ris- ing before her. Twice she seemed |near fainting. but her indomitable ‘courage kept her from. sinking, as she thought of what the morrow would have in store for her. Quietly she counted over the little store in her purse by the mom's rays. "Seventy dollars! Oh, I could never use all that in my life 1" she cried.

Great stress is laid by all instructors in physical training on deep breath- ing. A simple shoulder exercise that the children may take several times a day, consists in raising the shoulders slowly but vigorously as high as pos- sible, then slowly lowering them. This may be done either with both shoul- ders at the same time, or with the left and right alternately. Inhale while raising and exhale while low- ering the shoulders. In a case of a. so-called high shoulder, which is caus- ed by a lameness of one side, or a lateral weakness 3f the backbone, the exercise may be performed only on one side, that is, by the lower shoul- der. The bending of the body side- ways is helpful for lateral curvatures of the spine. The bending should be performed by the opposite side from that towards which the curvature bends. All exercises should be taken if possible out of doors, or at least, with opened windows. If children do not breathe deeply naturally, they should be encouraged to take quick leg: work by running and leapingâ€"ex- ercises that demand a great deal of force in a short time. Let the chil- dren associate pleasure with the care of the body, let them run and jump and climb and shout, indulging freely in all out of door exercises, remember- ing girls as well as boys need just ;this training to keep them hardy and ‘ healthy. FOR THE TEETH. Mix one ounce of charcoal, as much .qninine as will lie on a dime, five igrains of magnesia. and a. few drops of attar of roses. Both a soft and a. hard brush should be used, 1nd the upper teeth brushed from the top downwards. the lower teeth from the bottom upwards. The inside of the teeth require to be brushed in the same way. Besides the usual brush- ing twice :1 day, the teeth should be brushed with soap three or four times .a week. This is not at first pleasant, but it is very beneficial to the teeth. ISoap is an alkaline preparation, be- : sides being antiseptic, and it also helps j to remove the tartar. SULPHUR. Geo. T. Angell, publisher of Our Dumb Animals, calls attention to the l usefulness of sulphur, sprinkled in the strikes me as shoes as a preventive of the grip. Half a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in each shoe or stocking is considered to be sufficient.
