Is There Such Disease as Hydrophobiat
(To be continued.)

The belief seems to be growing
among scientists that there is after
all no such disease as hydrophobia.
This strikes deep at the root of long
established and venerable opinion and
will no doubt be received with a great
deal of opposition, but there is so much
to be said on the subject and so many
experiments have been made, that one
is inclined to suspend judgment at
least, and wait for further develop
ment. An incident is reported where
a man was bitten upon the side of his
face by a pet dog. He applied to he
hospital for treatment, and was found
to be extremely nervous. The dog was
carefully examined and pronounced by
the veterinary surgeon to be in per-
feet health. Some experiments by
incubation were tried, on rabbits with
out any unpleasant results. Again
and again were the rabbits inoculated,
and they remained to all appearances
as we'll as ever. But the man became
more and more nervous and frightened
and finally died, of what disease the
attendants in the hospital found it very
difficult to determine, although thev
death certificate was issued for hydro
phobia. Some eminent medical men
declare that one of the most important
things is to attempt to eradicate from
the public mind the idea that there is
such thing as hydrophobia. They
claim that it never occurs in fact, but
that there is nervous terror which
takes possession of the patient, who
actually dies of what is nothing more
or less than fright and nervous convul-
sions. OF course such a statement
leaves a wide margin for discussion
and debate. AS a matter of fact, IL
there is no such thing as hydropho-
bia, there certainly is nervous state
that becomes terrible in the extreme.
Really there must be something of q
serious nature to cause such dread
fll suffering and death.-New York
Ledger.

Most decidedly" he replied, with an
air of relief.
But" she went on, 'if there is a
reality in love, if love be needful for
happiness, do not let me marry with
out it. You are my father, my only
friend-I appeal to you"
He asked Heaven to pardon him for
answering such an appeal falsely. He
looked profoundly wise.
"My dear Hildred," he said, you ex
press yourself so oddly. believe that
the greater part of what you read and
hear about love is the greatest nom

founded on esteem"
But 1 do not know enough of Lord
Caraven to esteem him." she replied,
lowly.
"Some of the happiest marriages."

people have learned to love each other
after marriage"
"Then love does creep in before or
after?" she said.
Possibly in many cases. The most
sensible way Of looking at marriage is
this. It is civil contract between two
people who can best make their way
in the world by going through it to-
Eether-for instance, young farmer
marries a girl whose dowry enables
him to improve his farm, while her
education gives her an interest in it;
the noble man with an impoverished
estate and an ancient title marries a
city heiress whose grandfather was
perhaps a soap-boiler."

"That Is cold word. / can tell you,

quietly.
Because he has asked to marry you,
Hildred."
She thought for few moments in
silence, and then she said:
Il should be countess, l suppose,
papa. One of the girls from ST. Roche,
our school, became countess-every
one envied her; but her marriage was
not very happy one
"All marriages would be happy If
women expected only little less than
they do, and were rational" he said,
hastily.
She knitted her fair, white brow,
while she thought deeply, silently.

importance. Give it your serious at

CHAPTER III.-(Continued.)

| OI1AI i Ill.
Arley Ransome had decided upon
telling his daughter of the future that
awaited her. He was not quite sure
of her. He had studied law in all Its
branches, money making in all its
forms, but he had not studied charac-
ter-his daughter was almost strang-
er to him. She had been educated
abroad. Her mother died soon after
her birth, and he, devoted to business
had not cared to have child to dis
tract his attention. He lived then at
his chambers. But when Hildred was
seventeen he went over to Germany to
see her, and was charmed with her. He
found her highly educated, brilliantly
accomplished and intelligent, and in his
opinion, she gave great promise of a
beautiful womanhood.
He decided at once on taking house
in the outskirts of London and in"tall-
ing his daughter as mistress there.
1t was done at once, and then Mr.. Ran
sc<le began to put his scheme into
action. He knew that the young earl
had come to the end of his resources
1t would all be plain sailing for him
new.
But there was one person he had
not taken into account, and mat was
his daughter. He had never dreamed
of anything except blind submission.
Now he began to ask himself, "Will
she object?" She had plenty of char
acter, plenty of spirit, life, activity,
energy. Would she submit to his bar
ter and exchange? Would she blush
and smile after the fashion Of girls
who are delighted? Would she be
pleased to be a countess, or would she
draw herself up in disdain, and tell
him she was to be neither bought nor
sold? He was doubtful as to which it
would be, and he therefore approached
the subject with some little hesitation.
That same evening-for it was a rule
of Arley Ransome's to do quickly what
required doing at all-he told her. He
remembered it long years afterward---
as did she.

grounds down to the banks Of the
river; she sat there watching the
color of the water change as the twi-
light deepened. A tall beech tree with
superb spreading branches grew near;
the grass was studded with white and
golden flowers. Arley Ransome found
her, the daughter on whom he had
built all his hopes Of fame and fortune,
her dark eyes fixed on the tranquil
stream, her white hands lying listlessly
on her knees.
"Hildred," said Arley Ransome. Il
have something very particular to say
to you. l will sit down by your side.
How gloriously beautiful the river
looks tonight"

about him. She watched him with
keen interest, and the sharp-witted,
keen, shrewd lawyer, who could fright
en- witness into saying anything he
wished him to say, shrank before the
dark eyes of his daughter.
She looked up at him now with some
little curiosity. What had he to say
to her? How was it that the clear gaze
of those dark eyes troubled him so
greatly?
Something to say to me?" she re-
peated, dreamily. you could not have
chosen a better time for saying it, pa
pa. never care to talk on nights like
these; can only listen"
1.-The brightest hope of my life has
been accomplished to-day, Hildred," he
began; that which have longed for
has been given to me. 1 have been
pleased, proud and happy"
He saw that her interest was awak-
ened, that her eyes frightened. She
looked earnestly at him.
PLEASED, proud and happy? That
seems great deal, papa"
1T means great deal, Hildred. To-
day the Earl of Caraven has asked per-
mission to make you his wife,"
He had stretched the point; but of
what service would it have been to
have studied law if he had to keep to
facts? If he had expected any dem
onstration of delight he was disap-
pointed. She made none. She did not
blush, or look pleased or displeased.
The calmness of her face was un-
broken.
1.-The Earl of Caraven. That is the
gentleman l saw to-day, papa?"
Eyes, that was Lord Caraven. and
he wishes to make you his WIFE"
But how can he, papa? He has
seen me only once. Why should he
wish to marry me?"
"That / cannot say, Hildred," he an
swered; II am better versed in law
than in love: 1 can only repeat what
have told you. The earl wishes you
to be his wife"
The dark, eloquent eyes Travelled
slowly from his face to the river, and
then back to the shrewd, eager coulte-
nance.
And this is the dream OF your life,
papa-that 1 marry him."
THAT you marry some one who has

"All sensible people have the same.
ideas on the subject" he replied; ana
again his daughters dark eyes sought
the lovely, cleaning river.
II did not think" continued Hildred,
slowly, that marriage was a contract
of any kind. / had different idea OF
it. I thought it took place when two
souls were attracted insensibly to each
other, and life became nobler and bet
ter and higher because Of their love,
and thought that same love began In
time and ended in eternity"
Arley Ransome looked in wonder at
his daughter.
"Hildred," he said, II hope you are
not going to turn out romantic"
II hope not" she replied, quietly.
you have told me the truth, papa, and
though it has astonished me, / thank.
you for it-one should not have false
notions. l have asked because 1t strikes
me that it would be terrible thing to-
marry without love, and then for love
not to come afterward."
The lawyer held up his hands in hor-
ror.
Such thing could not be. Every
woman with a well-regulated mind
loves her husband; every husband in
the same way loves his wife"
"Then, If l marry the Earl of Car
aven now" she said quietly, Il shall
learn to love him afterward?"
Certainly" he replied, with wish
that she were not so earnestly sin
cere.
Il have not thought of marrying"
she continued, in the same earnest,
simple tone. You see, papa, there
was nothing to make me think Of IT..
There were nc gentlemen at st. Roche
and l have been so busy with my books.

idea, too, Of being countess-it has
pleasant sound-'Lady Caraven.'
And you are sure, papa, that shall
love my-love Lord Caraven after mar
riage, if not before?"
Il am quite sure" he replied, with,
unnecessary fervor.
She turned slowly to him.

simply.
He looked delighted
II shall see him and tell him to-
morrow" he said. Now, remember
Hildred this is very solemn matter
You cannot go back after you have
once pledged your word"
Il shall not want to go back" she
said. 1T is fair destiny-why should
wish to change it? Countess of Car
aven! When shall 1 see him-the earl
again, papa?"
Arley Ransome could not suppress
a slight pang Of reproach. If she ex-
pected to find gallant wooer in the
spendthrift earl, she would be wofully
1t would be best per-
haps to prepare her.
VERY soon; and I am quite sure that
he will be pleased. But, Hildred,

quietly.
"They say little of love-they talk
no nonsense-they send princely pres
ents of diamonds and jewels-they
prove their love by actions more than
by words"
"I see." Then she added, naivelyl
