The Cure Complete

But even while Barbara and Ipsden were strolling and talking, poor Gatty was near drowning. He had gone into the water for his morning swim after the fizzle of his duel with Ipsden and had become exhausted.
 People on the beach saw that he was drowning, but Christie Johnstone waa the first to spring into a boat and gU to his rescue. She saved him and Mrs. Gatty, who had come down to the shore, was a witness of the rescue.
 Of course after that Mrs. Gatty could not object to the marriage of her son with Christie-especially as Lord Ips- den recommended the union.
 Lord Ipsden. when he saw Mrs. Gatty. said: That old ladys face seems fa- miliar to me. Saunders, do you know cook in your lordship's uncle's time" returned Saunders: sshe married a green grocer"
 And this may have been one of tho reasons why Lord Ipsden was so easily able to bring about the match between Charles and Christie.
 ' Ips,ien when he married .ie Lady Barbara was in the best of physical health and in the liveliest spirits. Dr. Aberfords prescription had worked to a charm.

Seeking the Lower Glasses

When the yscount had become fully established at Newhayen on the Firth of Forth he said to Saunders: "Saun- ders, do you know what pr. Aberford means by the lower classes"
 "Yes, my lord"
 "Get me some"
 In an hour and half Saunders re- turned with a double expression on his face, pride at his success in diving to the very bottom of the social sea and disgust with what he had fished up.
 He approached 1psden with mysteri- ous air and said, sotto voce: This is low enough, my lord
 Then he glided back and ushered in with polite disdain two lovelier women than he had ever opened the door to in the whole course of his perfumed ex- istence.
 On their heads they wore caps of Dutch or Flemish design with a broad . lace border stiffoned and arched over the forehead about three inches. leaving the brow and cheeks unincumbered They had on cotton jackets of bright mixed colors, short cotton petticoats- fin short, the picturesque costume of the "fishwives' of the Firth of Forth.

Mrs. Gatty Appears

Was it not filling the celebrated physi- clans prescription? But would the vis- count, or "vile count" as the fisherfolls called him. "fal" to the purchase of a picture of tree exactly so many yards from the foreground and reproduced with mechanical skill? It was a problem. but Christie was not in the habit of wasting money.
 One thing Christie's artist cound never make her understand was that while the amount he had borrowed was only f60, he now owed eS0. But he dropped cigars and medical students and similar abomina- tions.
 Suddenly, however there appeared in the somewhat squalid lodging of the young artist the artists mother, Mrs Cat ty. friend had considerably informed the artists mother that she must start immediately from her home in Newcastle as her son had formed a disreputabIe connection with fisher wife Of New haven.

A Kiss on the Beach

Slowly, almost silently, Mrs. Gatty and her son walked toward their home. Sud- denly Charles broke away from his moth- CT and ran as fast as he could back to Newhaven; he would find Christie and insist upon marrying her.
 At her home they told him she was on the beach, He ran there and what did he see? A tall man standing before Christie and Christie kissing this gentlemans hand!
 The gentleman then took Chrfsties head in both his hands and kissed her fore- head. The gentleman was Lord 1psden.
 Now all that this meant in reality was that Christie was thanking Ipsden for what he had done for Gatty and was telling of her troubles with her lover and his mother. 1psden had felt deeply for the distress of the girl and had kissed her innocently enough just as Charles came in sight.
 The next morning Gatty sought the viscount and wanted to fight a duel with him. But the duel was never fought, as explanations set misunder- standing right.

 "What's the matter?"

 Then the viscount told Christie of the prescription which the physician had forced him to write--he said nothing of Lady Barbara.

More Than He Could Bear

It was more than he could bear. He went to the pier where Christie was just getting out of one of her boats and offered her his arm. She coldly refused and walked toward her home. quarter of a mile distant Gatty followed her. . Christie. I want to speak to you"
 What have you to say to me-"

 Christie gave her guest supper and heard his story. For the first time in a week the painter ate square meal
 But now, between the comforting words of Christie and the artful re- marks of the badish Fucker the painter not only ate, but actually found himself singing after dinner-which songs may have been partially inspired by the ex- cellency of the ginger cordial which Flucker administered to the guest.
 Gatty wondered how he could have thought for . moment of forsaking

So it happened that young Fucker

 the street, saw Ipsden coming along the
 causeway. and knew him at once from

Disquieting News

But Mrs. Gatty would not hear at all of her son going to the wedding pie nic She kept him at home and made him work away at the pictures he could not sell.
 But in the evining, when Charles went for stroll, he fell in with Chris ties brother. Fucker, the ladish boy. And Fucker told the painter such a story that poor Gatty was nearly be- side himself.
 It was to the effect that, "her own lad" having strayed away, Christie had condescendcd to make conquest of Lord Ipsden.
 Christie had been the star of good ly company at tho marriage festivities and--wcil--she had many hearts and hands at her disposal The painter should not think that Christie John stone would ever be neglected

A Patron of Art

Lord Ipsden was, of course, willing 70 take another dose of his doctors prescrip- ton at once.
 Lord 1psden and his admirable vals., Saunders, to say nothing of the charm ing Lady Barbara Sinclair. have been too long neglected at Ednburg.
 They were still on duty at Edinburg and Newhaven, and there had been a par tial reconciliation between Ipsden and Barbara. Ipsden was much annoyed, however, at the attention paid Lady Bar bara by literary man who was soaked with Carlyle and srailed at the want of perfection and heroisin m the present day.
 Lady Barbara was at once immersed in the Carlylan philosophy and talked the real Carlyle jargon with the literary man. However, Barbara was beginning to like Ipsden better and better every day-to see much more in him than she had imagined was there.
 However, this did not prevent Ipsden from going to see Gatty's pictures-and hs actually purchased that picture Of Dur ham cathedral and gave the artist for it, not fSO, but el5o. He also praised the work, being in reality much impressed with it.

Seeking Money from the Sea

 Poor lad said Chistie to Gatty, "Ill soon draw sso pounds from the sea for ye.' And she was off like flash.
 Gatty, who had understood none of the conversation between Fucker and Chris tie. it having been carried on in most technical manner. was mortified at the sudden flight of his sweetheart; his vanity had been wounded.
 And so it happened to Christie John- stone-as 1t has happened to many a wom- an-tfat the greatness of her love made it appear small to her lover But before Christie had come to See Gatty that day she had seen the yiscount and had explained to him the condition in which Gatty stood financially.

Worth More Than a ViscOunt

Saunders, who knew himself the cause of this question: said His lord ship is a viscount."
 Tt had bonny sound," said Jean. Then the fair beauty, whose name was Christie Johnstone, said:
 What more would ye have? Nobility Is just a sound itself, I am told"
 And what sort of lard is yon?'' said Jean, pointing to Saunders.
 The mortified Saunders bowed as he said, q am my lords servant"
 "Na," said Jean, not to be imposed upon, 'ye are statelier and prouder than this man."
 "I will explain" said Ipsden, with a twinkle in his eyes, "a good servant like Saunders is rarer and of more value than an idle viscount."
 It was the fair lass, Christie John stone, who was the thinker, and, through this and some more conversa- ton, she watched Ipsden closely until she came close to him and sad "Was it to buy herring that ye sent for me?''

the financial necessities of the painter but thought that it would be better all around for 1psden to buy some of MT. Charles Gatty's pictures.
 There was a sheriff who had been un- kind enough to serve a warrant upon MT. Charles Gatty Christie was wondering how she would get the man she loved out of his financial difficulties.
 She was able. of course, to raise the money he needed herself. But when she thought of the viscount she considered that it would be a good job for Ipsden.

Beyond Belief

Here's a, gentleman come to, speak till ye," said Fucker.
 The widow to whom Fucker had, by order of his sister,. brought the vis- count, was weather beaten and rough. ''The gentleman's welcome.' said she, but there was no welcome in her tone.
 Ipsden then explained, in rather stammerng voice, that he had come to see if he could be of assistance to the widow. He explained that he had heard that some of her people-Tnotably

 His brother, John, and his faithful and loyal wife were his only visl- tors during the day. They both saw him separately for few minutes dur ing the afternoon. Their talks were brief .but in the short time they crowded as much cheering news to the condemned man as they possibly could.
 Before Mrs. Becker passed into the death house word was conveyed to the keeper in charge that she was coming in. Following the prison regulations the curtains were drawn over the cells of the ten other doom, ed men who with Becker comprised the inmates of the place.
 Then Mrs. Bec<er was taken to his cell. When she saw him she tried to embrace him but the cold steel bars of the corridor were about three feet distant from Becker's door and stopped her.
