"Yes, his friend; and as his friend I
will not hear him insultsd. Good
night"
She walked quickly away, but In a
moment he was again beside her.
Marjorie, will you not listen to
me?"
mo, | will not" returned the girl,
angrily. Whatever o have to say
against Monsieur Caussidiere you shall
not say to me. He was right; you
are all against him, and you are the
worst Of all. DO you think 1t is just or
kind to abuse q man simply because
he is a stranger and unfortunate? What
has Monsieur Caussidiere ever done to
you that you should dislike him so
much?"
The young man stared at her flushed
cheeks and angry eyes; then he ex-
claimed:
Marjorie. answer me. Tell me .t's
not possible, that you care for yon
mani"
She flushed crimson and turned
away.
II care for anyone" she answered,
evasively, who is alone n who

Marjorie. You are a coward. Johnnie

not speak like that"
Il would say the same to him as TO
you. II he were not a scoundred he

This was too much for Marjorie. She
uttered an indignant exclamation, and,
without deigning to reply, FASTENED
rapidly away. This time he did not
hasten after her; and almost before he
could recover from his surprise she had
entered the mans door.

When a tall. untidy -loking girl, with

I&kept her ROOM. 1t was altogether a

girl wandered out upon the road ana
into the c%hurchyard. She crept close
10 the western wall and looked for a

Then, signing deeply. she came out
and strolled up the village.
The bright weather and the fresh air
enticed her on and on tfl she came

All was still and peaceful; not a
sound, not a breath disturbed the Sab

parapet and looked sadly down.
Her thoughts were wandering far

A GOOD APPETITE.

How frequently we hear the remark
made. wnen a persons indispositiOn
is spoken Of: "Oh. he can't have much
the matter with him. He eats well
and. therefore, he must be all right"
AS a matter OF fact, although a good
appetite Is sometimes considered as
a test of the state OF the health, II Is
not an invariable test, for often those
who are seriously Ill have good appe-
tites. This is the case with many
consumptives and others, but a per-
son with a bad appetite Is not In good
health-there is something wrong with
him.
Appetite and hunger are generally
u sed anonymously, hut hunger is
than appetite; It is imperious, but is
allayed after eating. What is the best
thing to do when the appetite wanes?
The usual remedy is a tonic. some
times, we fear, 1t takes the shape of too
frequent "nips" of gin and bitters, sher-
ry and bftters, or some other COM
pound. For a want OF appetite the real
remedies needed are often rest and
sleep, together with fresh air. Overwork
when feeble is a cause OF loss Of ap-
retite.
A change of food is a good remedy,
sometimes the regimen has not been
varied enough, and the system be-
romes oypr-burdened with one kind az
material and another kind is deficient.
An entire change Of food may work
wonders. A change Of scene, of thought
and of environment are some of the
best means to restore a faded appetite
for food. Out door exercise. work,
sea-bathing-all these have a good e..
feet, and promote those changes in the
body which make a demand for food
imperative. These remedies ale all
natural ones, and II rightly used can
