Charlie whom she had met in the
shrubbery last night-who had smoked
that prime Havana and brought those
tears to his cousins sweet eyes; and
to Charlie, no doubt, l thought, with
swift pang of jealousy, she had given
her young love-the treasure he would
squander as remorselessly as he had
wasted the more tangible treasures in
his hands. And upon me, of all men.
by the cruel irony of fate, was forced
the task of separating her from the
man she loved! Nothing could come
to me but pain, disappointment and
odium.
There Is more than one element of
danger in the case" said the worthy
rector. Charlie may make disturb
ance at the Lea, and seriously embar-
rass those two unprotected women, or
he may work upon the feelings of a
susceptible and romantic girl like
Mona, and neutralize all the wise pro-
visions of his uncle. There is no tell
ing what, in the first emotional work
ings of such a character as this sweet
young girls, Charlie may make her do
for him-give up Forest Lea, 1
shouldn't be surprised, and ruin her
self and all who depend upon her. The
fellow is, l am sorry to say, utterly
irreclaimable-money runs through his
hands as If they were sleeves. The

fighting with an impulse which tempt

me.

house." Mr.. Heathcote answered
gravely, accepting the cup of tea which
Miss Elmslie offered him. you are

point 1 can hardly press, as he has
been good enough to give us already so
much of his valuable time"

Miss Elmslie, looking appealingly at
me.
So was impelled by the irresistible
force of fate into the current which
could only bear me to disastrous ship

A light flashed upon me. 1t was

CHAPTER V.-(Continued.)

1t was Miss Branscombe. The hood
Of her light mantle was drawn over
her head and face, and as she came
swiftly on, with downcast head, she
vas unconscious of my presence until
she almost touched me. At the first
recognition she gave little cry and
started back, the next instant she had
recovered herself, and something OF
the womanly dignity which had adj
mired in her at our first meeting re-
turned to her bearing. She made no
apology or excuse for her presence
there on such night and at such an
hour; she merely bowed her head with
a murmured Thank YOU" as l threw
open the door and stood back for her
to precede me into the hall. She did
not, as l half expected, try to excuse
or account for her late walk, but with
another bow she passed on and up the
wide staircase. The light from hang
ing lamp fell upon her face as she
turned to mount the steps, and saw
that her eyes were swollen with tears

tightly by the carved oak balustrade
too as she went slowly up and out of
my sight.
and So" I said to myself as,
haunted by a spirit of unrest, l paced
the floor of my room long after mid
night-"so dies the last lingering rem
nant of my faith in womanhood." But
1t was dying hard; it was hydra
headed, apparently, and sprang into
fresh life as fast as l set my heel upon
the last quivering fragment and at
last, when 1 sought my bed, knew
that neither my faith, nor a mad love,
as wild and impossible as the love OF
the wave for the star, was dead VIII N
me. l had found hundred excuses. a
hundred reasons, which left Mona
Branscombe my pure sweet ideal still;
and withal, was the most unhappy
man in the United Kingdom. Had
Miss Branscombe been the penniless
girl her friends and neighbors had pre-

maturely declared her to be, there
would have been neither presumption
nor madness in the passion which had
taken possession of me, for l was we'll
born, my prospects were good, and l
could have entered the lists fearlessiy
against all corners. But Miss Brans-
combe, the heiress, the owner of fifteen
thousand a year, was separated from
me by barrier which l recognized as
insurmountable. l groaned in spirit
as l remembered that my own hand
had helped to raise the barrier.
And then l fell into a short troubled
slumber. Just as the restless twittering
OF the little birds beneath my window
told that the day was breaking.

TO BRING ABOUT SLEEP.
The Half Hour Before Bedtime Should
BE Quietly Spent.

be quietly spent.
Difficulties in going to sleep are
sometimes physical more than mental
says the Spectator. The physical, I'M
der ordinary circumstances, are due to
the circulation. The following are a
few practical hints: Some sleep better
half sitting up with three pillows,
some better with none; some with lit
tie covering, some with much. Hot
drinks or hot bath just before sleep,
hot bottles to the feet, are often useful.
Tobacco often increases sleeplessness.
Sometimes, after long waking, small
meal will bring sleep. Some, espe-
cially invalids, will wake after two
or three hours; a cup of hot, fresh tea
will often send them to sleep again.
Sometimes the darkness seems exciting
and one can sleep with lighted can
die. Intermittent noises, as of rat
thing window, are always bad, but a
continuous noise is often a lullaby.
Moderate fatigue aids, but exhaustion
prevents sleep. Oftenest sleeplessness
is mental and springs from a want
of self-control. Either one subject
engrosses the mind or succession OF
ideas. In either case the sleepless
must make the effort to stop thought.
1t is best done by attending continu-
ously to some monotonous and unex-
citing idea which is self-hypnotism.
Some count, some breathe slowly as If
asleep, some look at imaginary sheep
going through a gate. One of the best
ways is to watch those curious appear
ances which come to closed eyes, a
purple hare fading into star, which
becomes an irregular line, and again
changes to something else. They can
not be seen when first sought, but
will come with a little patience. in
all these the purpose is to fix the at
tention on some object which will
arouse no associations. 1t requires
steady effort to do this and to prevent
the thoughts wandering, but exercise
increases the power to succeed. The
half hour before bedtime should be
spent quietly.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laXa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

John Grey of Belmont, who has been

here yesterday from epilepsy. He had
become very deaf from long service as a
jockey and was well known in racing
circles in southwestern Wisconsin.
