CHAPTER XII.


The rain was coming down In torrents,
and there was a general expression of
disappointment on the mems faces round
the breakfast table at Mallingford Park.
But you know it is really too bad
Cecil Danesford observed to Miss Mall
ing. Your head man had fixed to-day
for the north end covers, and he says
they are the best on the whole estat tie !:
and now this rain comes and spoils the
whole thing. 1t is annoying. you must
allow"
Poor creatures-menw said the Hon.
Miss Collins, rehectively. "The comfort
of their lives depends upon the one
amusement of the hour. Deprive them
of that and they are stranded helpessly
Glad Ina a woman.
We'll, l hope you will have got over
the first rush of slaughter by the 18th, :"
Pauline interposed, bringing the CONVEX
sation back to the original object
"Why by the 18th y several asked

ladies.

Gil.
His attention was suddenly arrested
by an advertisement in the Times, which
he held in his hand.
by all that's mysteriousv he exclaim-
ed; and then he sat gazing at the news
paper in mute establishment.
Bertha Collins leaned across and look
ed at the place he was pointing at.
How extraordinary she exclaimed
For PHYS sake let us into the mys-
teryr' Pauline said; and Bertha read out
the following advertisement:
Mallingford Park-If this should
meet the eye of Sir G. NJ. he will hear
of something to his decided advantage
by applying to Messrs. DAVIS & Raven,
10 Leman street, K. c.
There was general establishment and
various were the surmises as to what
it could mean. Jack, glancng at Pau
line, was surprised to see her agitated
and white to the lips. She motioned to
him not to notice it, and fought deter
minedly with her emotion. The others
were too much absorbed by their curiosity
to take much heed, and she bore herself

''Will you help Mrs. Seton and me
to finish filling in the cards for the sew
enteenth?" she asked Jack, as she left
the breakfast room.
Jack promised to join them in the
boudoir in quarter of an hour He did
not like to think of Paulne's look. He
was a poor struggling artist, who had
hitherto lived by the exercise of his un-
aided talent, and Pauline was a rich.
high-born woman, his superior in most
things that count in this world; yet he
would not make her his wife if he did not
believe her life to be spotless and with
out flaw. This was the idea that haunt
ed him as he recalled her look at the
breakfast table. If ever woman's face

hances's had done so when Bertha Col

way; and Jack felt somewhat piqued that
Mr. Mallett should make so light of the
whole business
But he did not let his ANNOYANCE an
pear upon the surface. He told of the
success of the paintings for Lord Sum
mers, of his hopes for the future of the
gay life at Mallingford. and impressed
his hearers with the fact that he was
trimming over with good fortune and
happiness.
Ethel did not say much; but she ap-
peared to be quietly, kindly interested;
and, though she was paler than she used
to be, she did not give one the idea of
love-lorn damsel. She sat listening
to the conversation, and wondering if
her father would touch on the subject
OF their identity during Jacks visit; but
MIR. Mallett did not wish to be made the
topic of gossip among Miss Malling's
guests, and therefore kept his own coun.
sell
When Jack was about to leave, Mr..
Mallett decided to walk part of the way
with him, and accordingly went down
stairs first. Jack turned with the door
handle in his hand, to thank Ethel for
what she had done-yet hardly to thank
her, either.
Il can't go without thanking you for
being so candid with me, Ethel" he
said. "Of course l was very surprised
when | received your letter breaking off
the engagement; but equally of course
there was nothing for me to do but ac-
quiesce in your wish
Ethel felt how ungenerous this remark
was, seeing that his neglect had led to
what had happened; but she would not
be driven into reproaching him. and so
give him cause to justify himself Her
feelings were toe real to bear dissec-
ton. and she avoided the discussion.
That is all passed." she said, grave
ly; better let It rest"
Though she did not say one word in.
self-defense, there was a world of re-
proach in the subdued tones of her ad-
vice; though her speech was 30 indif-
ferent, her whole manner asserted her
right to be considered more than blame
less throughout the affair.
Jack felt miserably small under her
calm gaze, and his respect for her was
vastly increased by this little passage at
arms; and, as he was carried by the af-
ternoon express back to Mallingford
Park. he could not shake from his mind

She began methodically to remove ev-

in heap on the table, after reading or
looking at them. Then she turned to the
other side, going through it In the same
way, and reached the bottom without
discovering anything more than is usually
to be found in a ladys desk. With a dis
appointed air, she began to replace the
articles, when Miss Malling's address

the floor.
She stopped to pick it up as it lay

She went to the dressing table, where
the candles were still burning, to read
the name of the photographer at the
back of the card. The printing was in a
language she did not understand; but she
guessed it must be Spanish. She turned
to the picture again, and in the strong
light she could almost make out part
of the inscription on the plain hea dstone.
The first name, she was sure, began with
the letter "P." In order to assist her.
she procured Miss Malling's magnifying
glass, and, with the aid Of that she
spelled out the name, or as much of it
as she could see.
"P-a-u-l-i-n-e" she could clearly trace

SUDDEN DEATH.

While seated at the dinner table
at his home, on Holmes street, on
Monday last, Capt. w. H. Calls,
foreman of the sanding depart
ment of the Ford-Johnson Co. s
Chair Factory, in the Peniten-
tiary, threw his hands to his face
and sunk back dead.
Mr.. Calls had been in fine
health, with no premonition of
death, and had just come from
his work, caught his little daugh-
ter up in his arms, and, after
fondling her for a little while,
sat down to dinner and was chat
ting with his wife in happy
frame of mind, when the stroke
came. He said to his wife, Just
before, that he was feeling a bit
tired from the heat.
DR.. J. S. Goodrich was at once
summoned, but the vital spark
had fed. He ascribed it to u
sudden attack of heart failure.
Capt. Calls had been sheriff of
Trimhle county, afterwards q
guard at the Pen, until he had
accepted Il place with the Chair
Co.
He was Il member of Bedford
Lodge, /. O. O. F., of Trimhle
county. The Odd Fellows of this
city, as soon as they learned of
the death, took charge of the re-
mains, a delegation going with
the body to Bedford where it was
shipped on Tuesday morning.
Capt. Calls was a member Of
the Methodist Church, and Rev.
J. o. A. Vaught held Il short SER
vice at the home before the body
was taken away.
He leaves wife and one little
girl to mourn his death.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and regular use of German Syrup.
Free eXpectoration i'm the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the cOnsumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to 60 to
