CHATTER XIX.

CAPTAIN LANGToN DESPERATE.
A short period of calm fell upon Darrell
Court. Miss Darrell's passion seemed to
have exhausted itself.
Il will never believe" she said one day to
Miss Hastings, that Sir Oswald meant what
he said. / am beginning to think it was
merely a threat-the Darrells are all hot-tem-
pered."
But Miss Hastings had heard more than
she liked to tell her pupil, and she knew that
what the baronet had said was not only quite
true, but that preparations for the marriage
had actually commenced.
II am afraid it was no threat, Pauline"
she said, sadly.
'Then let the newcomer beware" said the
girl, her face darkening. "Whoever she may
be, let her beware. l might have been a
good woman, but this will make me a wick
ed one. / shall live only for revenge"
A change came over her. The improve
ment that Miss Hastings had so fondly no.
ticed, and of which she had been so proud,
died away. Pauline seemed no longer to
take any interest in reading or study. She
would sit for hours in gloomy, sullen silence,
with an distracted look on her face. What
was passing In her mind no one knew. Miss

do leave me in peace" she would say.
'Leave me to my own thoughts. l am franz
ing my plans"
And the smile that came with the words
filed poor Miss Hastings with terrible appre-
tensions as to the future of her strange. will
full pupil.
The captain was still at the Court. He
had had some vague idea of rushing off to
London; but a letter from one of his most
intimate friends warned him to keep out of
the way until some arrangement could be
made about his affairs. More than one angry
creditor was waiting for him; indeed, the
gallant captain had brought his affairs to
such a pass that his appearance in London
without either money or the hope of ii would
have been highly dangerous.
He was desperate. Sir Oswald had limited
to him, since the failure of their plan, that
he should not be forgotten in his will. He
would have borrowed money from him but
for that hint; but he did not care to risk the
loss of many thousand pounds for the sake
Of fifteen hundred.
Fifteen hundred-that was all he wanted.
Ii he could have gone back TO London the
betrothed husband of Pauline Darrell, he
could have borrowed as many thousands; but
that chance was gone; and he could have
cursed the girllsh caprice that deprived him
Of so splendid a fortune. In his heart fierce
love and fierce hate warred together; there
were times when he felt that be loved Pau

ANECDOTES OF THE QUEEN.
She Approved of "a Trouncing That Wa
Administered to Wales.

Apropos of the queens recent s~ojourn
Mt Balmoral q north of Scotland news
paper has been cleaning from among
the Deeside peasantry some new stories
about her majesty's early visits to her
highland residence. One of these re-
lates to the boyhood of the prince of
Wales, says the Scottish Amertcan.
The prince on one occasion, when he
had temporarily escaped from the sur
VIGILANCE of the parental eye, played a
trick sn q young country lad whom be
saw approaching with n basket of eggs
on his arm, the result Of the trick being
to break all or most of the eggs. The
lad was a tough Abcrdonian and could
not brook this injury, SO he turned to
and doubling his fists gave the prince a
thrashing in spite of the %latter's protest
that he was the prince of Wales.
prince an a though we be-" said the
boy, "ye'd nae business tae break my
eggs" Just then the queen appeared,
having seen part Of the fray. She
quietly said: You are quite right, my
lad; he had no right to break your eggs
and he richly deserves what YOU have
given him." Her majesty aiterward
made inquiries about the boy and sent
him to school at her own expense.
Another story relates to her majesty's
visit ia the cottagers in the neighbour
hood. On one occasion, when she had
been making calls among the cottage
wopaen, she dropped in. on her way
back 10 the castle, at the house of an old
woman who did not know her visitor.
The old lady was both talkativc and
querulous; and, referring to a fete at
which the queen had been present that
day, complained about people, includ-
ing her own household, running like
mad to see a common clay woman"
Her grievance was that she had to wait
till her folks returned in order TO get
her tea, for she was too feeble TO make

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.

From the Republican, Scranton, Penn
The cause of dyspepsia is lack of vital
ny; the absence of nerve force; the loss
Of thelife-sustaining elements of the blood.
No organ can properly perform its func-
ton when the source of nutriment fails.
When the stomach is robbed of the nour-
ishment demanded by nature, assimila-
ton ceases, unnatural gases are generat-
ed; tho entire system responds TO the dis
cord.
A practical illustration is furnished by
the case of Joseph II. Vandyke, 44O Hick-
Dry street, Scranton, Pa.
In telling his story, Mr.. Nandyke says;
''Five wears ago was afflicted with a

Forgotten Years.
When the dark night is falling
over moor and lea,
i hear sad voices calling,
Somewhere out at sea.
j hear them as the pillows
Dash their crests of foam,
Against the lonely portals
OF my sua-girt home.
/ ask the clouds that hover,
Ghost-like overhead.
What means these sounds OF wailing
When the day hath fled
Are they the lamentations
OF the ones who sign
For love that was returned not
In the days gone by?
Who in existence dreary,
Mid he wastes of sea,
Cry out unto the Father
Master, make us Free
As If decreed by heaven
They OF all should grieve,
When world and worldly children
Hail the welcome eve.
1t Is the years forgotten.
With their joys n woes.
comes in mournful voices
When the daylight goes.
