Lord st. Norman gave a grand din
ncr-party, and one of the guests whom
he invited was Sir Oscar Charlotte
Il hope Ethel will like him." he
SAID to his wife. Il think Oscar Charl-
cc;e the finest fellow in England"
Better than the Duke of South
myad?' interrupted Helen demurely.
My dearest Helen" rejoined Lord
s.. Norman. laughing, without wish
ing 10 be disrespectful to either gentle
man, | may say that there is as great
a difference between them as between
a noble retriever and a spaniel"
Sir Oscar being the retriever?"
said Helen.
Precisely so. 1 begin to think,
Helen, that, with all her pride, Ethel
has a great fund of romance. Since
she refused the Duke of Southmead 1
have come to this conclusion, that she
will most probably fall in love with
some artist or poet; and l should not
like that. If she must have a hero,
she could not find more noble one
than Sir Oscar. 1 suppose l had bet
ter not say SO to her"
certainly not" decided Helen,
quietly. Let her have her own way
entirely. There is something of the
grand and heroic in EtheTs character
When she does fall in love, it will be
with some one like herself"
There is one thing you cam do"
suggested Lord ST. Norman. "She al
ways looks beautiful, yet it seems to
me she is Indifferent about dress You
might superintend her toilet. and see
that she looks her best tonight"
Lady ST. Norman promised, but she
kept her promise without any CLEAN
of hope in it. She had been more puz-
zled than any one by Etheps rejec-
ton of the young duke. She came to
the conclusion that, young as she
was, Ethel in all probability had
formed a resolution never to marry
She has all the Gordon PRIDE"
thought Lady St. Norman, land, if
she has made such a resolution, she
will doubtless keep it,
But, to please her husband, she had
most exquisite costume arranged
for Ethel; a dress of white silk richly
and deliberately trimmed with pink
hawthorn. Even Ethel, Indifferent as
she was to dress, gave little startled
cry of surprise when she saw it, Helen
kissed the fair young face.
You will be your brightest and best
tonight. Ethel, will you not? Your
father is so proud of you, l ought to
| be jealous; but l cannot be-"
The dinner-party was not a large
| one but the few assembled were all
| celebrated in some way or other. There
was a leading statesman, one or two
members Of parliament, a celebrated
writer, one or two leaders of fashion
and Ethel-a quiet, select little party
Sir Oscar Charlotte was included in
the number of guests

at his daughter as she entered the

on her beautiful face, and her eyes
were bright as stars. He was delight.

She had been there some little time

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble at least among the Amer
leans, is certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely Que TO the excitement
and worry Of American business lie IL Is
more often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves.
the Sympathetic and the Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is affected
by the form of poor digestion, which causes
gas and fermentation from half-digested
food There is a feeling of oppression ana
heaviness in the chest, caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart ana
lungs. interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making il thin and watery, which irrltates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and TO
insure the prompt assimilation OF food
This can be done by the regular use
effective digestive preparation, like Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may De
found at drug stores, and which contain
valuable harmless digestive elements IN
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at meals will cure any form Of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
