"Nonsensel' said Mrs. Richmond, in a
very severe tone, this time. "You don't
know what you are talking about"
But Daisy did know She went to bed, as
directed, and Aunt Hannah took complete
charge of her; but she did not recover as
rapidly as everybody expected. So they had
to send again for Doctor Daniels
"Ahemi" said that astute practitioner.
Something is going wrong"

Richmond.
"No;" il isn't the medicine" replied the
doctor hastily. "There is something wor-

visitors?"

On his next visit he sent Aunt Hannah

Daisy's hand in his, and said, gently:

"Hellol" said Doctor Daniels. when he
made his call next day. "What's this?"
There was bouquet of fragrant flowers
on the mantelpiece the shutters were bowed
just enough to keep out the glare of the sun,
and Aunt Flora, in bright challis wrapper
sat by the bedside, reading to Daisy, who
looked quite cool and comfortable
"Oh, dearr said Aunt Flora, in some dis
may; Il hope / have done right Some
people say flowers in sickroom are SO
Some people are foolsl" cried the doctor,
brusquely. ''But it is quite evident, madam,
that you are not of their number Some
people do not seem to know what effect the

sBut, DOCTOR" said Aunt Flora, slyly 'I
remember, when / was girl-not SO many
years ago-our family physician prescribed
Just such a course Of treatment as that to
which you object"
"Ahem!" said the doctor. "Times change,
madam, and doctors change with them. This
is the age Of common sense, and we are
more and more inclined to let nature effect

Common sense triumphed this time. at any
rate, and in less than week Daisy Richmond

"No, indeed!" Here he got up and threw
open the shutters, letting in food of sum

Just then Aunt Hannah returned with the
pitcher of lemonade, which she nearly drop
lped when she saw the sunlight.

doctor, shaking the pillows, and raising Daisy
to half-sitting position, Let her sister

day, and you must read TO her occasionally

"Funny book, indeedi" gasped Aunt Han
nah, when the doctor had hustled out. eWhy,
that doctor doesn't know his business, and
I'm sure know mine. III wash my hands
of the whole affair!'
And so she did. Despite the tears and ex-
postulations Of Mrs Richmond, she hounced
away to her home in neighboring city, and
the household was in despair.
But relief came from an unexpected quar-
ter. Aunt Flora, Mr.. Richmonds sister. had
come from Boston, on her way to Washing
ton, and stopped over day.

she said cheerfully, 'but ] can do as l am

the duties of the office under Mr.. Bakelee's
supervision.
Just now, while the final reviews of the
school year were in progress, the teacher
spent the most of his time in the ciass-rooms
on shore, though ordinarily he had his abode
on board of the vessel.
The same was true of such of the cadets
as were generally duartered on board of the
Venture. In two or three days the prepara--
tons for the summer cruise would begin, and
then the vessel would be occupied by he full
working force
Having assured himself. to his own salts
faction, that Cadet Britton had been left as
sole custodian Of the schoolboat, Lofty pro-
ceeded to put into execution his purpose Of
visiting the vessel.
Give minutes in the chart-room will put
me in possession Of information sufficient
for my purpose at present" he told himself.

And, having dexterously made fast the

now in as much of hurry as he had before
been leisurely.
The watchman met Lofty at the head of the
stairs. He was clad in the uniform of the
school-boat of naval pattern, which served
to distinguish the naval from the military
cadets at Westbrook.
He was armed with cutlass in lieu of the
rifle and bayonet of the sentinels on shore,
and this weapon he now presented in a fash
ion to stay the further advance of the visitor.
Having now learned the identity of the boat
man, and knowing very well Lofty's charac-
ter, he was naturally alert.
"Your permit, Cadet Rankin" he said.
and he held out his hand "You know that
nobody but the regular crew Of the boat, or
employees, are allowed to come aboard with
out written permit from the superintendent
or Commander Brant"

This procedure attracted the attention of
the watchman on the deck of the Venture
He halted on his beat, and watched the young
boatman with eagle eyes.
Lofty's back was turned in his direction, but
he had duty to perform, and he did not
propose to be remiss.
If the approaching cadet intended to board
the school-boat, and had the necessary authori
ty, well and good; if not if he made move
ment to pass the vessel and seek the open
water of the bay. it would be the watch

tended, during the day. along the whole west
edge of the academy grounds, from the road
way before the academy buildings to the
shore of the bay.
The distance was too great for the sentinel
to recognize the boatman, else he would at
once have taken alarm As it was observing
the skif to run up alongside of the Venture,
he concluded that all was well, and he re-
sumed his beat, quickly passing out of view

fidence. True friendship is a plant OF
slow growth, and must undergo and
withstand the shocks of adversely be-

let your hand give in proportion to
your purse; remembering always the

Snow White.

While this is by no means a white
season. as many OF its predecessors
have been called. the white gown
and the all-white toilet are in strong
evidence among the most fashionable
sets. But the white gown with coll
ored accessories, such as hat, para
sol, girdle and often coat and scarf
or run. is more prominent. Rose
shades. khaki color and the golden
browns and soft dull blues are popu-
lar tones for such combinations.
