CHAPTER VI,
COUSIN

That man who spends his days in painting
a girls portrait, in talking to her, in gazing
upon the unfinished portrait when she is not
with him, and occupies his thoughts during
the watches of the night in thinking about
her, is perilously near to taking the last and
fatal step. Flight for such a man is the
only thing left, and he SO seldom thinks of
fight until it is too late.
Arnold was at this point
~ am possessed by this girl" he might
have said had he put his thoughts into words.
81 am haunted by her eyes; her voice fingers
on my ears; / dream of her face; the touch
of her fingers is like the touch of an electric
battery" What symptoms are these. SO
common that one is almost ashamed to write
them down, but the infallible symptoms of
love9 And yet he hesitated, not because
he doubted himself any longer, but because
he wa not independent, and such an engage
ment might deprive him at one stroke of all
that he possessed. Might It certainly
would. Yes; the new and beautiful studio.
all the things in it, all his prospects for the
future, would have to be given up. 'She is
worth more than that" said Arnold, land
should find work somehow. But vet to
plunge her into p~overty-and to make Clara
the most unhappy Of womenI"
The reason why Clara would be made the
most unhappy Of women was that Clara was
his cousin and his benefactor, to whom he
owed everything. She was the kindest of
patrons, and she liked nothing so much as
the lavishing upon her ward everything that
he could desire. But she also, unfortunately.
illustrated the truth Of Chaucer's teaching,
in that she loved power more than ANYTHING
else, and had already mapped out Arnold's
life for him.
1t was his custom to call upon her daily.
to use her house as his own. When they
were separated they wrote to each other
every day; the relations between them were
OF tn ".ost intimate and affectionate kind.
He advised in all her affairs, while she d.
rected his; it was understood that he was
her heir, and though she was not more than
t~ive-and-forty or so, and had, apparently, a
long life still before her, SO that the success
sion was distant, the prospect gave him i'm
%portance. She had been out of town, and
perhaps the fact of a new acquaintance with
SO obscure a person as a simple tutor by cor
~respondcnce seemed to Arnold not worth
mentioning. At all events, he had not men,
toned it in his daily letters.
And now she was coming home; she was
actually arrived; he would see her that
evening. Her last letter was lying before
him.
II parted from dear Stella yesterday. She
goes to stay with the Essex Mainwarings
for a month; after that, l hope that she will
give me a long visit lido not know where
one could find a sweeter girl, or one more

CHAPTER v.
AS A R.


Arnold Immediately began to use the priv
ilege accorded to him with a large and liber-
al Interpretation. If, he argued, a man Ia
to be treated as a brother, there should be
the immediate concession OF the exchange
of Christian names, and he should be allowed
to call as often as he pleases. Naturally he
began by trying to read the secret Of a life
self-contained, SO dull, and yet SO happy, SO
strange to his experience.

my fathers people were"
"Then, y said Arnold, "you may be countess

cousins. Do you not sometimes think Of

"No," said Iris; "I never think about
things impossible"

She shook her head.

DEAF AND BLIND.
AN -TERESTI STORY.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs. George
Fickland, Al McAfee street, Atlanta, Ca, and
from her W lips a Constitution reporter learn
ed the following appalling story:
Several months ago she became almost totally
blind and deaf, and could not taste anything ex.
cept salt. Her bones became the seat of intense
pain, her joints were swollen and painful, and
eventually her whole body and limbs, became
covered with splotches and small sores. Her
appetite failed, and Ishe gradually lost flesh
and strength, and had but little use Of herself,
as her limbs and muscles were paralyzed. She,
as well as her friends and those with whom she
lived, despaired other recovery. Her sufferings
combined with loss of hearing and taste, and
blindness, were truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use Ct
medicines seemed powerless. Her disease was
blood poison and rheumatism.
AS she now seemed well and hearty the re-
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change.

she replied, "and before one bottle had been
taken began to see and hear. The second bot

my appetite. When 1 had completed the use Of
six bottles my eyesight and hearing were fully
restored, sense of taste returned, all splotches
disappeared, sores all healed, and my strength
and flesh restored. now feel as well as 1 ever
did, and my friends, as well as myself, are as
