her! They would never dare to
speak to her as they did but
for that knowledge. How we'll
they must know it, when they dared
to try TO insult her through her father!
Lady Caravan felt something like
despair. Was such a life after all
worth living? Her heart ached, her
head throbbed. She longed with des-
perate longing for a few minutes re-
pose-it seemed to her that her life was
hurrying on like a swift river into an
unknown sea. She wanted to stop and
see whittier 1t was going. Everywhere
there was the same notes.-the deep
voices and deep laughter Of men, the
light tones and gay laughter of women.
There was not a spot in the whole
place for rest. She pressed her hand
against the temples that throbbed SO
violently. She looked around her half
irresolutely. Whittier should she go?
Then she bethought herself OF the plea
saunce-the only spot where she could
even imagine herself alone.
The pleasaunce must have been con-
structed by some one who knew how
human nature longed for rest. Few
of the Rayensmere people knew of its
existence visitors did not. Some
OF the servants were in perfect ignor-
ance as to it's whereabouts. 1t was con-
structed for the sole and exclusive use
of the Ladies Caraven.
The young countess bethought her
self of this retreat. She had one key
of the dark green door that led to it:
Sir Raoui had another. She would go
thither, she said to herself, and look
her life in the face, and then decide
what to do with it. 1t was slowly
dawning across her that she would not
be able to bear her trials much longer;
that she could not and would not en-
dure them; that there was a brighter
life somewhere, which she was de-
termined to find out; that she could
not sacrifice her whole life to a shadow
of duty; that, in fact, she would go
forth free.
Free! The very word made her
heart beat quickly.
She went to the pleasaunce. If she
Were interrupted there, II could be only
by her husband or Sir Raoul; there
was no fear OF intruders. A sense of
relief came to her when she found
herself between the four high walls.
The blue sky smiled down upon her,
the languid air stirred family. the scent
OF roses came to her on the wind; it
was like reprieve to enter that quiet
retreat and feel alone.

CouIdn,t wear Shoes.

Sumpter, ILL.,, Sept. 9th.-Mrs. ]. B.
Flanagan, Of this place, has suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three years
she has not been able to wear her
shoes. She had doctored all the time,
but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. J. J. Dale's drug store
In Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out Of the six, before she was en-
tirely cured. She Is now as sound and
well as ever she was. completely re-
stored to health. and free from any
symptom whatever OF dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings. and Ehe and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
OF Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Of Mr.. Dial
for recommending this wonderful rem
edy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan OF such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her UP, has made them the most
talked-of remedy in White county

gering death--there was no CLEAN Of
comfort left her, turn which way she
might. Sir Raoul was i'll and seldom
able to leave his room. Owing to the
number of guests in the house, she
could not spend so much time with him
as formerly. She was dispirited and
depressed. Above all, she disliked
some of the visitors whom Lord Cara
ven had invited. There was one who
was young, effeminate, weak in char
acter. not much stronger in mind--a
Lieute- ant Hilstone, who had just sue
ceeded to large fortune, and who
seemed at a loss how TO get rid of it
most quickly. Lady Caraven had a
shrewd suspicion as to how much they
won from him. More than once she
had overheard heavy wagers made with
him which she knew he must lose. She
was scornfully impatient. Was not
this conduct of her husband disgrace
ful-to allow weak young soldier like
the lieutenant to be what she consid-
cred robbed?
friends-one, indeed, who knew all his
affairs-was Sir Arthur Oldys; and
Hildred overheard him, quite by
chance, one day laying a heavy wager
with the young lieutenant. She looked
at him calmly.
Sir Arthur" she said, II do not con-
slider that is quite fair; Lieutenant Hill
stone has no chance. You know more
than he does when you lay such
wager-you know that you will win
it,"
She never forgot the sneer with
which he turned to her.
Lady Caraven," he said, permit me
to offer you my congratulations. You
understand money matters almost as
well as your talented father"

Fruit for the Complexion.

We have always advocated the great
benefits to be derived from fruit-eat-
ing, and We cannot dwell too strongly
upon the Importance of making fruit
one of the principal articles of our dali
ly food. There is no doubt that each
year people grow to appreciate more
fully the value of 1t, and eat it, not
as luxury, but as a staple article Of
diet. Fruits are nourishing, refresh
ing, appetizing. and purifying, and,
consequently, have effect upon the
health, and, what to some is of almost
equal Importance, the complexion. Yet
there are differences. Grapes and APP
pies are highly nutritious. The form
er usually agree with the most delicate
persons, for they are easily digested.
Oranges, lines and lemons are of
great value as a means of improving
the complexion, and they are especially
good if taken before breakfast. Ripe
peaches are easy of digestion. and are
fattening. Nothing Is better to enrich
the blood than strawberries, which
contain a larger percentage of iron
than any other fruit. Fruit with firm
flesh, like apples, cherries, or plums,
should be thoroughly masticated, 9TH
erwise they are difficult to digest. The
skin of raw fruit should never be eaten,
and before eating grapes, or any small
fruit, care should be taken to remove
all impurities by washing. Never by
any means swallow graperstonea

had refused the little boon she asked.

She was one of those people who

give charities unknown to her hus-

be kept secret. The gratitude of the
poor woman in some measure compen-
stated her. and made her feel less mis-
cradle. But, though Lord Caraven had
laughed and sneered and spoken an
