CHAPTER Nv.

Sir Reginald Glendenning was out of
humor one sunny morning in May. The
daily mail had been handed him, as usu-
al, just as he had commenced his break
fast, and one letter that he had then
received had discomposed and made him
surly and violent.
what luck Is thisT he muttered.
"After my not going to the funeral Of
my sister, and thus, by my absence,
showing that I had not overlooked her
plebeian marriage, to think that these
people have forwarded such a letter as
this to me is absurd! I do not care if it
was written by her before her death.
They might have known l did not wish
1t. Take charge of her husband's niece,
forsooth! She may go to the almshouse
for all me! l will not have a thing to
do with her.
So saying, Sir Reginald turned to his
library, tossed the offensive letter into a
drawer Of his bookcase, locked 1t, and
putting the key in his pocket. rang the
bell furiously for waiter. ordering him
to have the groom bring to the door a
young horse named Tempest at once, as
he intended to ride. Springing upon the
back Of the handsome creature, Sir Regi-
maid Glendenning dashed away, just as
hiS hephe", 1NoUefl, young Hldu dDoul
twenty years of age, appeared upon the
deserted piazza.
He was in personal appearance very
tall, with a magnificent figure, dark COM
plexion, handsome features and large,
speaking black eyes, while his whole air
portrayed the pride that he had so rich
ly inherited from his own immediate fam
lily.
BELIEF he exclaimed, as his sister, a
beautiful brunette, followed him. "See
our worthy relative dashing down the
carriage way at that breakneck speed
Zounds! if 1 were to ride In that savage
way he would rate me soundly for it for
the next three days. l wonder what

1t, perhaps I can aid you. See! this key

returned the young man, readily enough
falling into the suggestive mood Of his
sister.

CHAPTER III.-(Continued.)


A few days after the promenade on
deck Dr.. Elfenstein was summoned by
Miss Nevergail to attend her aunt, who
was very Ill, owing to the violence of
the storm. Portioning out a sedative,
the young physician turned to give 1t to
his companion, and In handing 1t, their
fingers met, and at the touch his heart
leaped so forcibly into a delightful thrill
that it caused an instant feeling of ques-
tioning as 30 It's cause.
Their passage across the Atlantic was
an unusually propitious one. 1t was with
relief to both the physician and anxious
niece as they saw the termination Of the
voyage, for In spite Of their united eff
forts, Mrs. Nevergaips strength was rap
idly departing.
DR.. Elfenstein had an unusually tender
and sympathizing heart. He could not
see so young girl in such trouble and
not in everything possible lend a help
ing hand.
He cared for her as brother, and the
eloquent look Of gratitude that fash ed
upon him, as after seeing them both
cousin, Mr.. Rogers, Ethel placed her
hand in his, at parting, and faltered out
her thanks, as he bade her farewell, nev-
er expecting to see her more, was a re-
ward not soon to be forgotten.
After leaving his fellow voyagers, our
hero lost no time in pursuing his own
Journey. Before a week had rolled by
his way was made perfectly plain, and
q pleasant home was provided. He found
by inquiring of Levi Perkins, the land
lord of the hotel where he stopped, that
the place had just been excited, and al
most stunned, by the sudden illness of
DR.. Jennings, the only physician for
miles around. He had been rendered
helpless three days before, by a paralytic
stroke, and as all feared, would never
again be able to attend to his profess
sional duties.
Instantly, on hearing this news, the
young man had visited the house Of the
old gentleman, and showing his letters Of
recommendation, and his written creden-
tials, he had offered to attend to the sick
in his place, which offer was accepted,
and in a few days the stranger had all
the calls for medical advice that he could
attend, and the result was that he bought
the practice of the old and worn out man,
and became his accepted successor. DR..
Jennings lived only two days after Elfen-
STEMS arrival, for a third severe shock
laid him at rest from his earthly labors
forever.
The funeral was large one, and after
the day, with its many e1citements, had
passed, Dr. Elfenstein again visited the
house where the dead had so recently
lain, and asking to see the daughter, Mrs.
Stewart, he offered to rent the cottage
furnished for year, provided Mrs. Clum
would remain in it, as formerly, in the
capacity Of housekeeper.
This offer relieved Mrs. Stewart of
what had been an anxiety. and as Mrs.
Clum was delighted to still retain her
home, all due arrangements were imme-
diately made, papers drawn up and sign
cd, and one week from the day of his ar
rival we find Earle Elfenstein, M. D."

tiest cottage in the place, and that young
disciple of Galen busy night. and day at

regard to the murder committed in their
midst twenty-five years before.
To his surprise, he met everywhere
decided reluctance to talk upon the sub
ject, as the law had acquitted the only
one suspected. but the gloomy looks and
wise shakes of the head he so often met
told him well that the younger brother
Fitzroy was still held guilty in the opin-
ions of the general mass of the inhab-
itants.

A Medical Clay.-The latest improb-
able discovery in medical mineralogy
is a clay containing small per cent
Of the silicate Of aluminium which is
said to have curative properties. It
Is claimed that no mineral known to
scientists is purer than this. 1t is nine
times finer than the finest starch. The
discoverer claims he can drink four
gallons of water without any discom.
fort after using the new material as
medicine and that his weight has in
creased as well as his strength. He
claims he can cure with this clay any
case. Of typhoid fever or diseases Of
that kind within an hour, but Of course
all these things have to be taken with
the grain Of traditional salt.
Leg-Ache in Children-These pains,
so common in children, are probably of
neuralgia nature and are associated
with a disproportion between the
amount Of waste matter formed and
that exuded. A few heavy meals, or
even one such eaten during dry, cold
weather when the child is active and
drinks freely, will have no bad effect
The same quantity of food, however,
taken during damp weather, when
elimination Is less active, may give
rise to these growing pains. The cause
then In q word is unelfminated waste
and the treatment giving best condi-
tons for prevention and relief is care
Of the diet, free exercise and water
drinking and more than all else care
Of the excretions by baths, sweat
baths, enemas and so on.
