Lucille felt inclined to pout, but
remembered fortunately that it was
her servant.
Very we'll" she said; ST will do as
you tell me, because I am anxious to
learn"
Yes, Miss" he said; cit is better
so. We must all learn al times, and
some of us of our interiors, and it is
always best to do as one is told"
Especially when one doesn't want
an accident" said Lucille. 81 hope
there will not be one this afternoon!
Did you think the last was my
fault, Miss?" he asked, in what would
have been tone of reproach but for
its deep respectfulness.
''No, no. did not mean that! The
marquis apologized this morning, and
I hope you have forgiven him"
"Apoiogized! Do you think he
meant it? The marquis aparagized to
met Beg my pardon!' He laughed
a short, bitter laugh of tncreduIity.
Rather than do that of his own free
will, he would have cut off his right
hand. No, Would to Heaven it were
so. l would have taken the peace of
! fering; yes, l would have taken it!
But the apology, the gracious words,
were not meant for me, but for you!
1t was to gain your good will that he
| humbled himself in the dust before
me.
Why should he feel so bitterly to-
ward you? The marquis is a gentle
man"
"And I am only a servant! No, not

rather be your servant THAI primes

him, Miss Darracourt! It is too beau

the reins tighter through her fingers.

He was silent a moment, a dark
shadow Of angry thoughtfulness and
perDlexity crossing his face.
do you remember the morning you
drove the ponies?' he asked.
Yes" replied Lucille. Am I likely
to forget it, seing what happened?"

"Perhaps it was ridiculous. but it

Epilepsy,
Fits

"My son was cured of very
bad case Of epilepsy with DR..
Miles Nervine."
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, 0.
"My little daughter who was
afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
is now entirely we'll after taking
DR.. Miles Nervine only four
months"
MRS. c. G.. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerY-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it -
reasonable to conclude that 1t IS
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases Of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in a complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost OF the rem
edv. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get
bottle from your druggist. Take
it ali according TO directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

her, his breath coming quick and
fast-"but am afraid of myself! and

Lucille listened. her face averted,
a strange warning throb at her heart
responding to the deep music of his
voice.
Miss Darracourt, will you think
me presumptious if l tell you a short
story?"
'It will pass the time away" she
said, with a show of indifference and
federation.
yes" he said, slowly; sit will pass
the time away, and may-amuse you.
1t is the story of man with a shad-

path even when he was a child-a
shadow that set him apart and sep
arated him from his fellow children,
that must set him apart and separate
him when he grew to manhood, from
his fellow men"
Lucille glanced at the grave, hand
some face, then turned and leaned
against the tree, so that her face
would be hidden from him if he
should chance to look her way.

"Give it to me, and let me try and

"You shall try" he said, handing it
back to her.
She took it and shifted the teeth
to and fro.
"Oh, can't make any sense OF it!

"My dear Miss Werner, really"

They all laughed, as in duty bound !;
and as Lucille turned away with a
smile, the marquis put the key in the
lock.

Marie, as Lucille turned to leave.

at him over her shoulder.

Lucille treated the whole matter as
an amusing incident, with no serious
meaning; but in the aftertime every
word that was spoken came back to

c4n Old Battlefield.

The softest whsperings of the scented South,
And rust and roses in the lannon's mouth;
And. where the thunders of the fight born,
The winds sweet tenor in the standing corn;
With song of larks low-lingerng in the loan,
And blue skies bending love and home.
But still the thought: Somewhere,-upon the bills
Or where the wales ring with the whip wills,
Sad wistful eyes and broken hearts that beat
For the loved sound Of unreturnng feet,
And when the oaks their leafy banners wave,
Dream of the battle and unmarked grave!
