The causes and philosophy OF sea
sickness have always been great

theory at present is that the trouble is
due to the inequality of pressure in the
blood vessels. In a craft tossing on the
waves the blood is made to flow first

Mrs. Henry had seen it and sorrowec
over it. When next Winifred came tx
town, Missy, dear child, she said, with
affectionate entreaty, "why is it thai
you do not love your father
But I do" said the girl, reddenipg
cat least, 1 love him, sappose, just a.
most girls love their fathers"
She had no mind to confess. that she
had awakened to strange self knowl
edge Of hate. Time had been when sht
was sure that she could never love any
one as she loved her brother; her very
lanaeness, the witness Of the strength
and 6evotedness OF that affection, hac
held her aloof from the love that enter:
so largely into the dreams of girlhood
but now, to her dismay and confusion
she perceived that she was capable Of a
sentiment different altogether from that
which she cherished for her brother
The discovery flied her with Impotence
and indignation against herself; and ii
her long rebelious heart did not vet
throb with a daughters tender love, she
had at least begun to understand both
her fathers need Of sympathy and his
shrinking therefrom. Bat of all this
Winifred could net speak, and Mrs.
Henry fOrbore to urge her.
John Fletcher's position at this time
was by no means entirely to his liking.
So long as his life hung trembling in the
balance, 50 long as he remained confined
TO his room, he felt no embarrassment in
being the guest Of Col. Thorne; in mis-
fortune he was "a man and brother" and
no shadow chilled the hospitality hearth
ly accorded him; but now that ne was on
his feet again there was an irksome con-
sciOusness of the chasm across which no
cordial hand clasp yet was possible. In
a thousand inde1inable ways John Fetch
er realized the truth of Mr.. SCOTS la
ment, that he had come too late for the
old times, too soon for the new. The
very care with which his host ignored
all topics that could lead to heated dis
cussiOn gave him an irritating sense of
being superfiuous.
Christmas was drawing near. the first
Christmas after the war, and the north
erner shrank instinctively from spending
this festival with the Thornes. DR..
Lane however, insisted that his patient
could not vet bear the journey to town,
and Col. Thorne, more peremptory than
the doctor himself, would not hear of his
guests departure.
4 have pledged myself to my aunt
and your old friend" he said, ''for your
perfect recovery. You must allow me
the satisfaction of keeping my word"
So John Fletcher resigned himself to
stay. Thorne Hill was not devoid of in
terest for AN observant stranger, disposed
to study the transitional state of southern
life. The colonel, Miss Elvira, Nom Bee
