He paused abruptly; through the
strong frame ran a shudder like the re-
coil from pain, but the mans will was
firm, his purpose steadfast. All of her
life he had cared for her, been tender
with her; shielding her from trouble or
grief or blame, as far as in him lay, and
though his heart should break he would
not fail her now. Slowly he spoke

HELP! HELP! THE LADY FAINTS.
"'Tis the twink of an eye,

From the blossom of health,

When sudden fainting spells come
upon lady, you may always suspect
some uterine disturbances or trouble, or
some great disorder in the circulation and
nerve centers. A remedy that has al
ways proved successful in warding off and
removing the tendency to recurrence of
fainting spells-that removes the cause
of them, corrects the circulation of blood,
and gives to the system that even rum
ming nervous energy so essential, is DIR.

Thorne did not accompany the party
to Virginia, although it was tacitly I'M
derstood that he should follow in time
for Blanche's wedding, which would
take place in June. Pocahontas wished
it so arranged, and Thorne, feeling that
his love had come to him as through
fire, was anxious to order all things ac-
cording to her wishes. He was very
quiet, grave and self contained. His old
buoyancy, his old lightness, had passed
away forever. The whirl and lash Of
hurricane leave traces which not even
time can efface. A man does not come
through fire unscathed. He is marred
or purified. He is never the same. In
Thorne, already, family stirred natures
grand impulse of growth, of pressing
upward toward the light. He strove to
be patient, tender, considerate, to take
his happiness not as a reward for what
he was, but as earnest of what he might
become.
Jim remained in New York also. He
would go back to his work, he said; it
would be better so. He had come north
on business for his company, and when
that should be completed he would re-
turn to Mexico. He would not go to
Virginia; he did not want to see
strangers in the old home; he would
write to his sisters and explain; no one
need trouble about him; he would man
age well enough.
Before they separated, Jim had long
talk with Berkeley, and in the course OF
it the poor fellow completed his victory
over self. He spoke generously OF
Thorne.
''It's a big subject, Berkeley" he said
in conclusion, land don't see that you
or have any call to pass Judgment on
it, or to lay down arbitrary lines, saying
this is righteous, that is unrighteous.
We may have our own thoughts about
the matter-we must have--but we've
no right to lop or stretch other people to
fit them. Princess is a pure woman,
noble woman, better thousand fold
than you or me or any other man that
breathes. From her standpoint what
she does is right, and whether we differ
with her or not we are bound to believe
that she has weighed the matter and
made her choice in all honor and truth.

CHAPTER XIV.

Pocahontas was alone. The party had
dispersed, one here, one there, about
their own concerns, filed with their
own interests. They had invited her to
accompany them, even urged it; but she
would not; she was tired, she said, and
would rest; but there was no rest for
her.
The crisis of her life had come, and
she was trying to face it. Heretofore
the fight had been unequal; the past had
had tine advantage of sun and wind and
field, the old influences had been potent
because they were present, had never
been broken. Now she was in meas
ure removed from them; the forces
faced each other on neutral ground, the
final conflict was at hand.
What should she do? How could she
decide? She was torn and swayed by
the conflict of emotions within her; the
old fight was renewed with added fierce
ness. Her heart yearned over Thorne,
her love rose up and upbraided her for
her hardness. He was so changed, he had
suffered so, his hair was growing gray,
hard lines were deepening about his
mouth, and to his eyes had come an ex-
preston that wrung her heart-a cynical
hopelessness, a sullen gloom. Was this
her work? Was she shutting out hope
from life, thus making screen of a
scruple to keep sunlight from soul?
Unconsciously she was assuming the
responsibility which he had thrust upon
her-was fitting the burden to her shout
ders. She did not analyze the position;
did not see that he had been ruthless;
that he had no right to use such weapon
against her. She only saw that he suf-
fered, thai he needed her, that she loved
him.
What did it matter about herself?
Her scruple might die-and if it should
not, she was strong enough to hold it
down, to keep her foot on its breast.
Was her love so weak that it should
shrink from pain?

he assumes the garb of priest.

he assumes the gar0 or priest.
And if he did not speak-more, if he
should solidify by every means in his
power this barrier of prejudice into a
wall of principle which should sepa-
rate these two forever-what might not
be the result? Jim's strong frame shook
like leaf. His abnormally excited i'm
agination leaped forward and con-
structed possibilities that thrilled him.
The spot on his hand that her lips had
touched burned.
A little girl came down the walk,
trundling a hoop. 1t struck against
Jim's foot and fell over. The helpful
instinct that was in him made him stoop
and lift it for her. The child, a tiny
thing, pushed back her curls and looked
up at him with grave, wide open eyes.
Suddenly her face dimpled; smile like
sunshine broke over it, and she raised
her sweet lips to his to kiss her thanks.
What had happened? A child's look,
child's kiss; it was strange thing.
He raised his head and glanced around,
passing his hand over his brow like a
man aroused from delirium of dreams.
Forces foreign to his nature had been at
work. He could not understand it-or
himself
Words came back to him out of his
past-his own words-"a man must
hold up his own weight" and other
words, "a man must help with his
strength a woman's weakness" He
thought of his love with pity, with re-
morse. He had never failed her, never
put himself first, till now. What was
this thing he had thought of doing?
Jim stood erect and pulled himself to-
ge,her, lifting his head and squaring his
shoulders, as man does who is about
to face an issue squarely.

If only the scruple would die. If only
the old influences would lose their hold;
If she only could see this thing as the
world saw it. Was she made different
from others, that her life should be
nodded on other lines than their lives?
God abovel Why should she suffer and
make Thorne suffer.
