So it arranges itself; and during all the intervening (lays it pours, and tliundcrs, and generally misconducts itself, until one wonders dismally whether such an awful rent in the clouds can.ever be stitched up again, still on the morning of the Eventle Thursday the weather, as though ashamed of its churlishness, 'zlears up suddenly, and sends a brilâ€" liant sun to dry up all its tears. The flay breaks upon the World bright and glorious, full of warmth and freshness and promises of good thing to come. Far away in the vast, heavens pale rlouds are sailingâ€"sailing into worlds unknown. Below, the scene is almost as fair; on each side emeralds, far as the eye can see. To the right a broad river like a white ribbon runs listlessly between its sandy banks; upon its edge, stoopâ€" lng to drink, half a score of deer add life. and beauty to the already perâ€" fect pict’ure; whilst a little higher up the drooping flowers, faint with heat lean over it as though to catch a glimpse of "their own dear loveliâ€" ness.” Coming quickly round a. rocky corâ€" ner studded with ferns. the 'I‘reâ€" niaines find themselves at the en- trance to a. piece of soft lawn, made rircular by a band of giant oaks that have grown there of their own accord for generations. It is 21 fav- orite wood at Coolniore, a pretty though freak of fanciful Nature, what. the children would call a "veritable l'airy's ballâ€"room.” . Everybody has arrived before them, and every one is very hungry. The history of one picnic is so exactly the history of every other picnic that one need hardly enlarge on this particular one. They all sit about in impossible attitudes and try to think they are graceful. All the men get as close to the women they most affect. as circumstances will permit; there is a blessed lack of formality; and there are unlimited flies in all the glasses. There are the usual number of heartâ€"aches: and Jealousy, in its green and ugly rags, stalks about rampant. Give me a picnic as the most promising thing on earth for the creation and promotion of quarâ€" rels of all sorts! Scarlett. who has got himself up in the very lightest of all possible tweed suits, with a view to furthering his cause and making himself irresistible in the eyes of his beloved, is utterly and openly wretâ€" ched, because Gretchen, in the. good- ness of her heart. is listening with apparent interest to the animated conversation of a tall and lanky young man with a bright dark ugly face and one expressive eye; the oth- er has withdrawn itself behind a green shade,â€"at least one charitany hopes so, though really whether it is there or elsewhere is a'inatter for speculation. To Scarlett, who perâ€" sists in calling him “the man with the eye" may be the man without it, he seems a very poor creature indeed. "Not; a thing to recommend him, don’t you know, and about; the shab- biest old traveling suit on him you ever saw in your life.

Once or twice, so‘ interested is she in her new friend” who is of the scientific order, that ;she has even failed to hear Sir ‘John's voice when he has addressed her. This sort. of treatment is new to Blunden, who has been accustomed to think of Kitty as his own especial property and to believe firmly in her affection for him. It is quite three weeks since he told Arthur Blundcn 1 (Who has gone away for an indefinite period to some uninhabitable part of the globe, no one knows where) of his fixed determination to settle down and marry handsome Kitty Tremaine. But as yet he. has not proposed; perhaps because he feels so sure of her, and of his own love for her; perhaps because things are so pleasant now, and if a change. be made who shall say if things will‘ ever be as pleasant again? perhaps because it is such a bore nowadays to take any decisive step or to be much in earliest about anything. Toâ€"day Sir John feels more in ear- nest than he has felt for years. Can he. have mistaken her? Has he made too sure? At this moment it ocâ€" curs to him with startling force that life Without Kitty Tremaine will be a very poor thing indeed. When, therefore, Kitty has actually proved herself so engrossed by her new coni- panion as to turn a deaf ear to his third remark, Sir John loses pa- tience, and, putting his glass in his eye, turns an indignant glance upon the man on the other side, and tells himself with some gusto that he is an "ill-looking brute," and wonders angrily "what Kitty can see in1 him.” He makes one more feeble effort at, reassertion by asking her in a rather‘ when she says “No,‘ sently, and with rises, evident haste, he and, crossing to where Toni Scarlett is glowering upon space, flings himself down beside him and says something about champagne. "I can't say I see the fun that othâ€"l er people seem to see in picnics,"! says Scarlett, gloomily. “They‘re a beastly nuisance; , one never knows whom one may meet,” returns ll»,unden, with heart- felt meaning, whereupon they feelf .even more friendly towards each othâ€" ,cr than before, and grow sympathetâ€" iic on the spot. Dinner is at an end, and all have risen to their feet.

So they walked away together through the rustling autumn leaves and snapping underwood towards the old haunt. in question. And as they go a silence strange yet full of a Sir John lights his cigar, Miss Tremaine plucks the. stray, wild grasses as she goes, but no word brealts the still~ ness of the evening as they pass by rippling streams, and 1111(l(‘l‘ branchâ€" ing trees, through brake and fern, until they reach the summit of the hill. ()nce as they step across a tiny rivulet, a very baby of a stream, that full of glad song rushes babâ€" bling onwards through flowery meads straight to the arms of its mother the river, Sir John takes her hand to help her over it, and, having takâ€" en, retains it, until at length the ruins rise before them grand and stately even in decay. Kitty, seating herself upon a huge stone, sighs gently and looks around her. The walk has brought a. faint flush into her cheeks, a brightness to her eyes; a lurking softness curves the corners of her lips, making her perfect mouth even more lovable than usual. The evening is falling. Afar in the thicket a solitary bird gives forth its music, breaking into song half tinged with melancholy. Some sudden thought strikes Sir John: straightening himself. he goes up to Kitty and stands beside her. She starts a little as he comes close to her, as one might whose thoughts were far away, and turns up her beautiful eyes to his. "I thought you were going to speak to me," she says, as though in apology for the involuntary start. "So I am," says Blunden, quiet;â€" ly. “I have been thinking, Kitty that I should like to make you a present. if 1 was quite sure you would accept it." "Be absolutely certain then," says Miss Tremaine, without hesitation, all unconscious of what. is coming. “.1 perfectly adore getting presents." “You promise then, to accept mine?" “Indeed I sliall,â€"if it is a nice one." “It is, rather. I want to give you"â€"he waves his hand slightly toâ€" wards the rich and glowing landâ€" scape that lies all round and far be- 'low themâ€"“all this." Kitty flushes crimson. She rises slowly to her feet, and, after one ir~ repressible glance, turns her face away, so that he can only see the clearlyâ€"cut profile. “Well, that is a present!” she says in a low tone, with a rather nervous laugh. “It is not every day one gets an estate thrown at one’s head." "At. one’s heart,” corrects be. “There is only one trifling obstacle in the way of your accepting itâ€"â€"" "And that isâ€"â€"" "Its present master.

"I have not said yes yet,” replies she. with undiininished calm. Sir John regards her curiously. There is surprise, dismiietnde, even admiration, in kls glance. and per- haps a little offense.

The cause is some do~ rangeinent of the digestive organs, and if not promptly treated is liable to lead to "erious results. The little victim suffers from headache, fever, lpain in the stomach and sometimes ‘voniiting. While in this condition neither baby nor baby’s mother can obtain restful sleep.
