she was sure of his calmer attention.
"Of course she means ii for the best

SO much better if il We're arranged so
that she might go back east and leave
me. And then-oh, don't you see,
?"-and again the blushing face
bent TO hide itself against his check

And so there was a quiet little we'd

gray November morning, the room
made bright with a wealth of the fair

tie, brighter still in Neil's glad eyes
for the bride who came to his bedside
tn be wed, the sweet radiance of her
happiness beyond clouding even such
gloom as her relative, Miss Van Der
lynde, wore for the occasion.
1t was a sore trial for that good lady.
That niece of hers, Van Derlynde on
her mothers side, should come TO this
rude mining camp to marry this COM
mon miner-for no explanation could
make it clear to her that Harvey Neil
was anything else-and that she should
wed in this off-hand fashion, was =
shock to her aristocratic soul from
which she felt that she could never quite
recover. Had she been fully cognizant
of such awful possibilities, sure it was
that she had never been brought to
play the part of chaperone; but now
that she was here, powerless to inter
fere, she submitted herself to the mar
tyrdom of giving away the bride, with
"a feeling-as she expressed it after
wards in pathetic accounts to all men,
bers of the family-as though she were
assisting at Dorothy's funeral, her man

that idea.
And quite as disappearing, though
from a very different standpoint, was
Windy Gulch, when its first surprise

comment. Public opinion had under

The time had been when even his best
friends would deprecate his attitude

now no word was heard save in his
praise. The Grubstake disaster had

"Ah, the happy thought! God bless
you for il, my sweetheart-mine!" I'm
possible to convey the gladness, the
rapture, of that imprisoned whisper,
punctuated with soft kisses upon a
small pink palm. But he was laughing
too for gay amusement at her pretty
embarrassment, in such lightness of
heart as he had thought he could never
know again; and with characteristic
impetuosity he would follow up his tri-
umph with the swift demand, merrily
hooking her shy hesitancy: And dc
you thinlS-do you think enough of me
to marry me-soon, darling? Oh!"-
and now the laughter had left his voice,
while a CLINT of sudden tears enforced
the imprisoned earnestness of the low
cry: Il have so hungered, SO starved for
you, Dorothy"
But, though he laid bare his heart in
that brief pleading, he was for the mo-
ment stunned by the swift granting of
his prayer. Il will marry you when
ever you like, dear" she whispered back,
her eyes, alight with glory of bound

the dazed wonder, the rapturous ques-

CHAPTER XII.-CoNTINUED
The doctor had come to Windy
Gulch, renouncing his profession in
favor of mining ventures, which had
resulted disastrously SO far, but to
which he was sticking in forlorn hope
of some day recouping himself for his
losses, meanwhile keeping the wolf
from the door by falling back upon his
legitimate calling. He had nothing of
worldly advantage to commend him,
but he was a good fellow, and good
looking one. Any woman might fall
in love with such a man; and Dorothy

And Neil laughed again, that odd,

to turn your pillows and make you COM
Portable, and you must compose your

There was low-voiced conference III
the hall between nurse and physician,
and then Mrs. Bowen came TO the bed
side, looking somewhat anxious.
About them oysters" she began, "the
doctor says"
'Oh, hang the oysters!" Neil peev-
ishly calculated. Il wish you would go

CHAPTER XIII.

But Harvey did not GO east as he had
planned.
The very vehemcnce of his desire TO
escape an environment he had come to
loathe, whipped TO frenzy by the sud-
den, unreasoning jealousy aroused by
the doctors statement that Dorothy
had written to him, defeated itself by
its own impetuosity. Thinking it best
to bumor the sick mans within, if only
10 convince him of his weakness, Mrs
Bowen had allowed him to be dressed
and to sit up for a little while that even
ing, with the result that her argument
carried beyond her expectations, the
over-exertion bringing about a relapse,
when, as is usual in such cases, the con-
ditions were far more grave than in the
first illness.
Now he was delirious, babbling OF his
worlds fair lady, his Dorothy. his
sweetheart, until his voice had grown
TO be but husky whisper as he sank
down into the very shadows of death,
while the doctor, listening, understood,
comprehending what mischief he had
inadvertently wrought by his half-truth
about Dorothy's letter.
1t was an amazing revelation TO him,
a revelation that left him very grave.
He had not been a man if he had not
perceived that Dorothy Meredith was
a rarely beautiful girl, if he had not
felt the winning sweetness of her per
sonality. He had enjoyed but a bare
speaking acquaintance with her during
most of her stay at Windy Gulch; but
he had fallen into habit then of watch
ing to- see her come and go as he idled
away the hours before his Office door,
his thoughts lingering about her more
than he had perhaps quite realized at
the time, and he had eagerly seized

Can anyone tell me nything of the
city assembly rooms and the assembly
rooms ION the Surrey side" j. e.. South
wark, about the year 1772? The social
side of the city about that time is curl
ously difficult to get at satisfactorily.
For instance, when Catherine Hutton
went to London in 1888, being then 81
years of age, she went with certain
Mr.. j. Woodhouse and his mother. They
called for her at 1880 in the evening,
the gentleman being dressed in a suit
of pale-blue French silk, spotted with
pink and green, the coat lined with
pink silk, his hair in bag, a white
feather in his hat, 4 sword by his side,
and his ruffle and frill of fine point lace.
This seems very splendid. At the as
sembly the men were chiefly in dress
coats"-meaning, probably, of blue or
pink silk, like that of Mr.. Woodhouse;
those who were not wore cloth coats.
trimmed with narrow gold lace, with
waistcoats of silver tissue" and the hair
Ill queue, with curls flying out on
each side of the head"
The other ladies were covered with
diamonds. "The subscription to the
city assembly is three guineas; there
are 200 subscribers and late nights; the
subscribers are the first people in the
city; the rooms are lighted with wax;
the branches for the candles, the urns
for the tea and coffee and the baskets
for the cakes and macaroons are of
silver" l want to know more about
this assembly.
AS regards the Surrey assembly, all
can tell you about 1T is that the room
was on the ground floor, and that on a
certain night-the opening night of the
was at its height, some wag threw open
the front door and gave admission to a
drove of oxen, which began to run
about in a most terrifying manner;
some of the men drew their swords
valiantly; others tumbled down; the
ladies tainted and fell over the men;
caps, hoops, tippets, handkerchiefs were
lying all about the floor. And the oxen
beloved and ran about, threatening
with their horns. What would have
happened one knows not; but "the
sprightly Mrs. Hanniver"-presumably
lady connected with the supper de-
partment-"coming from the Lactarium
with bub for the gentlemen"-"bub"
is defined by Webster as n strong malt
drink-snatched from the master of the
ceremonies his mopstick-did the M.
C. on the Surrey side carry mopsticlS
as wand of office?-and with so much
spirit belabored the horny tribe that
they fed incontinent.
When the company gathered them
selves together, and picked up what
they could, being horribly disheveled,
amid the general wreck-hoops gone,
wigs pulled to pieces, headgear de-
stroyed, dresses torn-they proceeded,
Isuspect, TO refresh themselves with the
sprightly Mrs. HAMMERS stimulating
bub. If anyone will tell me more
about this assembly, ! shall be grateful.

THE SCIENCE OF NUTRITION.
A Great Deal Depends Upon Proper
Diet.

Diet.
That we are In error in our food
economy is no longer a vague theme
to be scoffed at by the thoughtless,
noticed lightly by the reader, and be-
lieved in only by the scientist. 1t is
substantial fact, easily proved to those
who would be doubtful. Prof. Atwater,
under the direction of the United States
agricultural department, has given to
the people such data in bulletins show
ing the result of his Investigations that
anyone of ordinary intelligence may
fully comprehend, so concise and COM
plete are they.
While there is yet much to learn
through experimentation, there is at
hand sufficient information to enable
us to make very important deductions
for personal use. We are told by the
best authority that we must come to
the realization that mot merely our
health, our strength and our incomes,
but our higher intellectual life, and
even our morals, depend upon the care
which we take of our bodies, and
among the things essential to health
and wealth, TO right thinking and right
living, one, and that not the least i'm
portant, is our diet" 1t is our good
fortune to have learned this-to be
told that the science of food reaches to
every point on the line of battle for ex
