She thought he was (lead. and all the love that she had so carefully re- pressed went out to him, as with a low wail she threw herself on him and pressed her cheek to his, her lips to his. Not a word passed her lipsâ€"in that supreme moment all power of thought or speech seemed to desert her. Last. night she had for the second time sent him from herâ€"had bidden him go forever, and he had obeyed her and gone to his death. She Could never send him aWay again. For an age it seemed she crouched thus, then suddenly a, thrill ran through her, and she shrank away from him. She had felt the heart Heating ben‘ath her arm, the dark, mournful eyes_were fixed on her, op- en and staring in confusion. With a. low, eager cry of hope she tried to rise, but he put out a weak hand and iecbly held her. "Not yetâ€"not yet." he muttered, a spi-S‘u of pain crossing his white, handsome face. "So, it is really you! Oh, do not leave me! No, it is a dream.” For sic had drawn her arm away. and, as she did so. his head fell back and his eyes closed. Then her voice came back to her. "No, no!” she cried. "It is I, Conâ€" stance! I am not going. Oh, what shall I do?" . >And she sprang to her feet and looked eagerly along the beach. Her voice roused him again. and, with a great e'Tort, he. raised himself on his arm, but still staring at her. "Constance?" he said. looking down at him in wild agitaâ€" tion. “Let me go for help; there are 011! How did Are you much hurt? others there below us. you come here? Let me go?

But I knew you were coming here, andâ€"and it was weak and foolish, but I thought I could come here by a by- path. and get a last look at you.“ With a sudden, crimson flush, she hid her face in her hands. He raised himself until his face was on a level with her shoulder. "I heard you coming down the pathâ€"I was just in front: and thinkâ€" inf,r you would be 1â€"1 am How came you up her to come nearer, her agitation. she could not strrck off ‘by one of the narrow paths.

Then she sprang up. “Now let me go for them,’ she pleaded. for he still held her dress. “You have saved my life," he said. with a faint smile. “You cannot still insist on making it a curse to me. Constance do not go away from me again. Iâ€"Iâ€"felt your dear face against mineâ€"surely I did not dicam it. I did not dream that. you loved, me.

As gently as possible they him, and with no little danger to themselves carried him down the irrrow path to the beach. There they llnade as comfortable :1 bed for Ihim as they could with their coats, and two of them volunteered to row the boat. “I will It's Caryl “How on lifted go," said luy, and he boat. ’I hen as be seized an oar, he said: “We shall row to the point.

The dog-cart can go on to Lougham, to Dame Chesâ€" ter‘sâ€"she must find a room in one of the cottages; the castle will be too .far. Now, then!” And with a strong stroke he sent the boat toward 1113 point. Long before they gained the point Caryl came to, but he still looked so wh‘te and haggard that when Lord Algy, who had come down in the v'agonette, first caught sight of him, ‘he sent up a cry of alarm and sor- row. "My dear old man!” he cried, leanâ€" ing over him as they laid him on the floor of the wagonette, “are you muih hurt? How did this happen? For the first time Caryl spoke. On regaining consciousness in the boat, Guy's face and voice had been the [first to g) cet him, and he had turned his lead away in silence; but now he explained: “Don t ’Algy: it alarm yourself, my dear was all my fault. Cliffâ€" iclimbing is not, fny vocation, I find. How did 1 get there? By the quick- ‘est and simplest routeâ€"by failing. It beats an express train, my dear boy. Oh, you meair what, brought \me to the cliff at all? Well, you see, [I could not resist this picnic of lyours, and when I had got half way 'to the station I turned back and 'made straight for the Titan's what- youâ€"Callâ€"it.” l "But why didn't you wait for us?" asked Lord Algy, an {iously. Oh, my! don’t ask me any more que<lio15," he retorted testily. “What does it matter? What does anything matter, if it. comes to that? Where are you taking me?” “I sent on to get you a room at Lougham,” said Guy. “There’s an old nurse of ours out that way; you couldn't be. in better hands." “All right," was the response. giv- en with languid indi’l'ercnce; “that will do famous!y.” Then he added. looking aro‘md, “You fellows have had an awful trouble. I'm very grateful." l CHAPTER XXIX. reached Lougham. There one of the grooms, “ho had gone. on with the dog cart, met them and told them that llamo Chester had prepared a for them. Guy looked up with a lsudden start. lie had not intended -th.it they should go to her cottage, ibut it was too late to alter nr- rangcments, even if he had wished to do so. ' ’l‘hc dame met them at the gate. and Mildred stood in the door-way. Iic. avoided her eye, but he need not. have feared. She as scdulously avoided his. She waited with woâ€" manly sympathy for the. sick man to lo lrought in. She had yielded up her room to him and Was ready to do what lay in her power for him. At first the dame was not willing, but Mildred was so persistent. that she yielded and allowed Mildred to watth him during the night. During the early hours of the night. the. sick man was delirious and talk- ed incessantly of Maida Carringford and tomco; anzl Mildred, hearing him, knew he was talking of the faâ€" mous actress who created such a furâ€" or at the time she was in San Franâ€" cisco. But after a. time be mixed the name of Maida Carringford and Con- stance IIartleigh, and little by little told the whole of his own and her story. And Mildred. listening as if to a voice from another World learnâ€" ed all that had been a mystery beâ€" fore. And so. all through the lonesome night. she listened to the wild utter- ances of the sick man, and struggled with her own thoughts. She pitied this man who had been so kind to her, and stgl more she piticd the. crâ€" rivi': woman who had brought so much miSt-ry to herself. “Two weoks," she muttered to herâ€" self: the man said two weeks. I must do somethingr within the two weeks to save her from that man. If I had the money that would do, for all he cares for is money; but then, room in the cottage and Was waiting ‘ there is that wicked little creature who stole the memorandum book. What shall I do about her? What shall I do at all? Oh, if he would only get well in time." But. he did not get. well at all, seemingly. Every morning a host of inuniries were made at the little cottage. Lord Algy was almost heirtâ€"broken, and he never allowed a day to paSS without calling. Guy. too, rode over every morziiri'r, but it was not often that he saw Mildred. or if he did it was only to exchange a shy goodâ€"morning with her. iilaida seemed the only one of all the neighborhood who did not call. and lllildred, though in daily expec- tation of a call from her, and on the alert to slip out of sight in case she did come, was very much relieved to have her remain away, for she (lid not know what would be the effect of a recognition. It was rather strange, considering how frenuent a visitor to the Hall the injured man had been, that that one. of all the ladies in the neighbor- hood, refrained from calling. More than a week had elapsed since. thx accident, and the interest in it had not disappeared, when the prospect of a still more exciting event stirred the country to its depths. The engagement of Guy and Constance Hartleigh had not made much stir, simply because it had been foreseen and predicted from the first; but now it was announced that the marriage was to take place almost immediately. The news ran around like wildâ€"fire. and the neighborhood was divided in- to two parties; the men who envied luy and the women who envied Maida Poor, unselfish Algy went strai ht to the Hall to hear if the news was true, and to get a few words with Maida. As he drove up to the house in a low ponyâ€"carriage, which he preferred to the stately barouche he saw Guy stainin‘: on the terrace. It lacked an hair or more of dinner time, and G y was smoking his favorite pipe. Algy’s e) es were sharp, and be keenâ€" ly scanned the frank, handsome face. "lie on: ht to look happyâ€"â€"as bap- py as a mortal can look," sighed the Loy, “l ut le only looks grave." W on he called to him, Guy came down the steps with hTs mienâ€"hearted smile.

"is it. you, Lord Algy?" she said. in her low musical voice. "I can scarcely see.

"Constance," he suddenly asked, is it true. that you and Guy are to' be marriol directly?" 'l‘hcrc was a moment of stillness. Then she answered, distinctly and slowly: “Yes, it is quite true. Papa wishâ€" es it, and a wish of his now is law." Algy looked at her. Iler eyes were downeast. It was not the voice or the {are of a bride blushing with anâ€" ticipatiuns of happiness. With all his love. for her, Algy was beginning to think he did not, understand her. "I hope you will be happyâ€"you know that, Constance. I think Guy the happis st man in the worldâ€"~you know that, too." “‘Do you," she said, quietly. "Do you think. he looks happy?" and there was almost a touch of irony in her voi-e. "Guy wise," softly. ’i‘hcre was a. pause; then he suddenly: “By the way, I have just come from Lougham." always looked grave and said Algy, patting her hand said, "From Lougham?" repeated Maida turning on him with a swift blush and a sudden quiver of the delicate lips. "Yes; I tried to see poor Wilton, but couldn‘t: they don't let anyone see‘ him. Poor fellow!” "Isâ€"is he better?" she asked, the words dropping from her lips slowly, as if they cost her an effort. “A little, they think; andâ€"" Lord Algy got up and began fidget- ing about, and fumbling in his pock- et. Presently he laughed shyly, and taking her hand, went on hurriedly, “I hope you won't mind, but I thought I'd bring my wedding pre- sent now. It isn’t a regular sort of present, as it ought to be, fresh from a Bond Street jewellcr. It is quite an old trifle. It was _my moth- er‘s Constance; but you will like it none the less for that, I am sure." For a, moment it seemed to her that she could not take this thing which his mother had worn, and which could not be worn by such a on;- as she: but her sense of caution caute quickly to her aid, and she rose and. still holding his hand, drew him to the candle light and opened the case. A cross formed of emeralds and diamonds flashed in her eyes. At a gance she saw that it was of enorâ€" mous valueâ€"a gift lit for an empress. ’lhe feeling that it would be unjust to him to take the gift once more overcame her. and she held the glitâ€" teiing mass towaid him saying: "(:h, no, no! Not such a, gift as thisfil am not worthy.” “Not, worthy?" he echoed, looking at her with a. rapt smile of wor- ship. “You not worthy? Tell me who is then?" With a gasp, she sank to the floor, anl hid her face in her hands. Ilis question had pierced her to the soul. \‘(ho was more worthy?

FREQUENTLY RESULT IN A BREAKDOWN OF HEALTH. Headaches, Baekaches, Dizziness, Poor Appetite and Insomnia the Outcomeâ€"How to Avert These Troubles. From the Review, Windsor, Ont. Only those engaged in the teaching profersion realize how much care, worry and perplexity is met with daily. It is therefore little. wonder that there are so many health breakdowns, especially among young ladies who follow this calling. lilies ('hristino I'ure. of ()jibway, ()nt., is one. who has suffered much in this respect. To a reporter of the. Wind- soi Review, Miss I’are said :â€"“l“or several years, while teaching school, I was continually troubled with headaches. dizziness and a weak back. I tried several doctors and medicines, but got no relief. I be- came so badly run down that I thought possibly a change of em- ployment would give me relief. I gave tip my school and tried other duties, but the result was disapâ€" pointing as the trouble seemed to have taken a firm luth upon me. The. headaches grew more and more severe, my appetite failed me and I was frequently compelled to take a rest. in order to overcome dizziness. A friend {Itivifilll me to try Dr. Wil- liaJns' Pink Pills. I decided to try a box, and before they were all used I found much relief. I continued taking the pills for some time longer every day gaining new health and strength, and now i feel as well as ever I did in my life, and am never bothered with the old troubles. \‘ou may say therefore that there is no- thing l can recommean so highly as Dr. \Villiams’ I’ink Pills."

Every Mother Should be in a P0- sition to Relieve the Minor Ailments of Her Little 1 Ones. The baby who is always plump al- ways has a good appetite, always has a clear eye and a rosy cheek, and is always active and playful, is the choicest treasure this life affords. The medicine which keeps babies in such a condition or which restores them to it when they are ill is cer- tainly a priceless boon to humanity. rl here are many medicines which pro-L (lucc sleep, but their action upon the child is similar to that which whisky or opium has upon a full grown man. They deaden and stupefy and are the most injurious things which can be given to children. The only safe course is to use no- ture's remedies. Nature has provid« ed a vegetable cure for every ill, and her remedies for children’s disorders are scientifically compounded in. Baby's Own Tablets. For diarrhoea constipation, colic, simple fever, croiip, irritation when teething, indi- gest ion and all the disorders of children so familiar to mothers, this remedy is Conceded by the. medical profession to be without an equal. Its ofcct is gentle, soothing. prompt- ly Clii‘dLiV‘ and never failing. it will save pain, anxiety, doctor hills and perhaps a life. All mothcrs who have used Baby's (lwn Tablets for their little ones speak of them in terms of warmest. riraise. Mrs. Ben. Seward, I’m-far, Ont, says : “l have used llaby's Own ’l‘ahlets and can highly recommend tnem to all moth~ (as. My lahy was cutting his teeth, and Wes Very cross when I first gave ti em to him.
