the recollection of unkind and untruth-
ful words, of unproyoked insult, OF
passionate recriminatioas, came over
her, and she was compelled to own
that if he married either of them he
would be wretched for life He looked
so kind, so good, it was pitiful TO see
him deceived. He could never be
happy.
Then she wondered if, often as he
came there, she should ever see him
again; would he speak to her-wOuid

wove a thousand fancies over him,
and always ended by lamenting that
he should be made wretched for life.
Sir Leonard had not forgotten her;
her sad, beautiful face haunted him.
He was using every effort to find out
where she lived. He had thought from
seeing her in the woods that she must
lie at the Grange, but they denied
having any young lady visitors. He
had not noticed her dress; nothing
had struck him but the lovely face.
He never dreamed of looking for her

She must be staying somewhere else,

he could find no trace of her; he asked
continually, and people must have
thought he had a mania on the sub

Nowhere could he find the lovely,
pure, sOrTOwful face. He had never
heard for many years of the child who
was brought to the Grange, in common
with all the neighboThOOd; he had
heard the story at the time though he
was but a child himself; but he never
even thought of it again. So now he
spent days in fruitless research, and
he began to think that he should never

Bile; there was no reason why they

pitalittes that had been shown to
them.
AT ball there were so many op-
portunities of making a proposal:
there was something so free and easy
about it-no stiffness, no ceremony
the young people walked about and
enjoyed themselves as much as they
liked; there was no restraint such as
prevailed in drawing room intercourse.
She would give a ball, and then it
was quite possible Sir Leonard might
hurry himself little; the girls should
be superbly dressed; in fact, they
should have every chance, and then ii
nothing came of it, why they must
turn their attention elsewhere.
Nothing could exceed the delight of
the young ladies-a ball in their own
house seemed something too beautiful
to be true. The most magnificent
toilets were ordered for the occasion;
nothing could exceed their good humor
and patronage.
That good humor did not, however,
extend to Florence; they were harder
than ever with her. For this ball she
must work almost day ard night. Mrs.
Harcourt advised them to engage
some one to help the young girl. but
the sisters had found out by this time
that no one had the same exquisite
and artistic taste as Florence. It was
not in vain that the girl had received
an artistic education; the pity of it
was that her talent and the exercise
of it should be limited to dressing two
girls who could never be made to look
really nice.

Pasteur, the great French savant,
founder Of the sciences of bacteriology
and preventive medicine, proved In the
first place that the epidemic diseases
are due to minute living organisms,
plants and animals and that for each
definite disease there Is specific micro
organism. This was the great funda-
mental fact. Later 1t became evident
that these microscopic parasites cause
disease by certain chemical poisoHs
which they produce, called toxins. In
many cases the micro organism, if
grown In culture tubes outside the
body, will produce the same toxins
After being separated from the living
germs which produced them these sub
stances will produce all the symptoms
of the disease when injected into an
animal body. The body at the begin

the poisons introduced and q struggle
ensues, the end of which is life or

and definite. The body cells secrete
a specific chemical body which has the
power of neutralizing or rendering
harmless the particular toxin intro
duced. This antidote to the poisonous
toxin we call the antitoxin. When a
man RECEIVERS from an attack of small
