Dangerfield Park was a fine country place Belonging to the Danbys, and it looked its best | one fine summer afternoon that came in a spell of set-fair summer weather. It had been coin- eldent now with the visit to Dangerileld Park | of Lady Violet Kneiler, who, having lately formed a friendship with one of the Danby | girls, had come to stay with her friend and | make the acquatatance of the rest of the family. The present owner of Dangertield Park, hand some Howard Danby, had gone up to Scotland @ fortnight ago to favor the crouse with bi Presence, but three stalwart brothers yet re. mained to do honor to Lay Violet's visit.

Quite two hours later he was returning along the shrubberies when he was met and joined by Lionel, a fair young picture to look on; fresh as morning itself, and without a suspicion on his often suniling lips of the moustache he so earn- estly coveted to see there. The brothers walked on in silence for a few momenta, and then Ge- rard said : “Prithee, why so mute, young lover?” “4s well mute as anything else,” returned Lionel. ‘and I think the world fs just the most disgusting, disappointing piece of humbug that wa . being interpreted, means,” said Gerard, “*And Ahab, the King, slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his stead. “Exactly so,” said Lionel, smiling, “and I dare say I should not care much, oniy that How- ard always rill come King Ahaziah so awfa'ly strong, It riles a fellow so.” “Well, my son,” sald Gerard, “as far as your chances in thedesired quarter are concerned, I fancy It does not matter much whether he is here or not, and It is always well to face the Inevi- table.” “Oh, T amnot saying my chances were hopeful, and for that matter,” he added grandly an open question whether I should have cared to tie myself down so early.” Here came a derisive laugh from his brother, he had some difficulty in not joining. “But what I say is, who was to think of How- rd turning up Just now? We have had an a ily jolly time’ of it, and none of us wanted a change, not she or any one,” said Lionel, dis- arding a nominative,” “and it will all so to the dogs now.

For ail reply, Judson bestowed on him a herly smile of indulgence, and looked atfe tionately after the two flne young men as they mounted the stairease, for, while he believed reatly in all the house of Danby, Gerard and lonel were his especial favorites Hard it is to stay the fleeting perfume ot a violet. and not less difficult to keep an atmos- phere serene into w h a disturbing element has entered.

So it was in walking, driving—everything that be- fell on the next day and the next. It seemed to Howard only in the right and natural order of things that the best of everything should be the undisputed, aye, and the undivided portion of Howard Danby, Esquire, and that with second fiddles and half loaves his brothers should be more than content. Gerard had quickly dtvined that Howard's eagerness to return home ere Lady Violet’s visit. should progress further held a meaning within it, and the hours were not slow !n con- firming his opinion. Whatever was going for- Cross Abbey, or tennis, or dance, Howard's place was ever at Lady Violet's side, and his most dazzling gifts and graces displayed for her edification. It is not easy to decline the attentions of a host, and a lover has_a tramp card put into his hand when he wooes in that capacity. Courtesy laid its trammels on Lady Violet, and made her Howard’s companion in drag, or dance, or din- ner, when cholce would have led her far a-fleld; and it was the less easy to escape from the trap | gathering round her that, from force of family | traditions or other causes, no one of the other brothers came forward to Interfere with How- ard’s right. There was one who feared not) Howard one iota, and felt that power within him that justifies courage and arms for any combat, but Gerard was deterred by other mo- tives from seeking Lady Violet’s preference for himself. That malady which had haunted all his pre- vious career stood now like a barrier between him and the path that fnclination would have made him follow. Even now, and, as it seemed to him, accelerated by Howard's return, some ymptoms he had learned well to understand were warning him that another struggle for life might not unlikely be at hand, | whose issue no one could foresee. The slight estimation in which he held his own powers of attraction made him singularly blind to the dan- nile concealing his own love, o1 eruelly wounding that of another; and #0, as | the days went on, he retrained more and more from joining in what was going forward, or | ing Lady Violet as he had done at first. One day. at luncheon, an expedition for the afternoon was being discussed, and a dificulty arose to find seats in the carriages for all the party. ‘ut me out of rard; “that wi at home to-day your calculations,” said Ge- simplify matters. I must stay He gave her little cause to think so, for kept the conversation up far better than sh and walked with deliberate steps when once he had ascertained the time fixed on for the expe- dition would not oblige her to hurry. It was only when they reached the terrace, and saw Howard standing cutside the house looking toward them, that she found courage to Say T hope it is really letters that keep you at home to-day. not any indispostition: “‘No, thank you, I am all right,” said Gerard deliberately, ‘‘and the letters are not a poetical fiction, for once. You will see some country in your drive to-day more like your Welsh scenery than Is usual with us, so I hope it will get the seal of your approbation.” Howard was waiting for them, watch In hand, and challenged Lady Violet's punctuality to be ready at the given time. She promised ‘compll- ance, and left them with an aching heart, both brothers turning to watch her graceful figure as she passed into the Hall. . Do what he would, Howard could not fail to | Tecognize Gerard as an equal, and that he felt | his brother in reality his superior was perhaps the reason he did not oftener seek his society and confidence. Now, however, he was just enough provoked at Lady Violet’s delay to hazard a remark which might or might not be welcome to the hearer. That leisurely walk along the terrace had looked more satisfactory than it really had been. ‘Shall you congratulate me, i asked, twirling a geranium leaf between his fingers, to affect Indifference, “if | prove suc- | cessful In that fair quarter, and present you all with a sister-in-law?” “You would certainly be in a position to merit very much congratulation.” said Gerard coolly. ‘Do you think your chances then so good? “Well, perhaps it 1s premature as yet to talk of them,’’ with the manner and smile that insin- uate much, “but I grant that 1am not quite hopeless.” he two men faced and eyed each other with- out flinching. and a handsomer pair ot brothers could rarely be seen, although those who once staked the‘r faith for the blue eyes would never condescend again to the black. “You have made a choice that would do any man credit,” said Gerard, ‘whatever the result may be. Perhaps. as you say, it would be pre- mature yet to prophesy about that. They parted, and Howard was soon urging his pretty horeea along the park with Lady Vio- tet at his side, while Gerard sat at his desk and steadily wrote a letter that did indeed savor leas of flection than of fact. Once he paused in his writing, and while he caressed that hi mous- tache of his unconsciously with his hand, gazed out of the window and dreamed and hoped and wooed and won infancy all against his better Judgment and conscious intention. Along a distant stretch of the road commanded by his window the carriages went gayly on thelr way. Howard's tandem led the way; on the seat be- side him was a lady. Gerard bent his head over his desk azain, and wrote his letter to the eud without a second pause. Two evenings later the family had dispersed for the night, and when Judson’ came to barri- cade the hall door, on the steps outside were Gerard and Lionel, and the former, taking on himself to fulfill that oMce, dismissed the old ith a kindly good night. Gerard leaned against a pillar, while Lionel sured his length in an easy altitude across the steps, and the perfume of their cigars made the night fragrant. The had been unusually warm for September, making the cool darkness more refreshing pow, and the sky was thickly studded with stars. When earth fails, it natu- y draws us to look to heaven. The brothers ed upward as intently as any saint or astron- omer could have done, and as they looked a shootinz-stur—that most pathetic break in the calm and majesty of the heavens—passed half across tie sky before them and melted into the blue. “There you go,” said Lionel, not too poet- ically. “ Vanished like my hopes, luckless suitor that Tam!” “As brief, perhaps, but rather more bright, T imagine, than th hopes could have been at any tim returned rard. Never mind, Lionel, it is a good sign to aim high for the first love.” “First, Indeed!” sald Lionel. “Likely story that, at twenty. I should not care so much if Howard would but let her alone. I wish you had gone in yourself to win her, Gerard; she ts nmiueh too good for him; but you are different, and I believe she likes you best of the lot of us, after all.” ‘Rather a moot point, I should say,” said Gerard, “so we will put {t aside, if you have no objection, for another. Lionel, has it never struck you we are one too many here some- time: “ As how, for instance?” said Lionel. “Well. we thin our woods,” said Gerard, “to give fresh development to the trees that remain, and it might be wise for us brotners to take a hint from the notion, ‘Three of us very often as it 1s do the work of two, and two of one, and the upshot of It is fam going away.” “Going away!” exclaiined Lionel, sitting up- right in his surprise, and trying vainly to scan his brother's face In the uncertain Hgit, ‘You of ali people, Gerard, whom none of us wish to spare. What do you'mean?” “You know about this expedition of Lord A’s to Egypt,” answered Gerard quietly. “He wanted a kind of upper secretary, sagacious ad- viser, and highly-gitted companion, so I fancied the post would suit my style of genius. In short. I may as well tell you at once it is all ar- ranged between us, and ashe 1s a very good fel- low, and we always get on together. | fanoy I shall enjoy the expedition exceedingly.” “But, Gerard,” said Lionel, in a voice from which all jocularity had subsided, ‘they say that expedition will stay out two or three years at the very least.” “I know it,” said Gerard, “and that is partly the reason Lam going, There is such remon- strance in your tone, my dear boy, that it forces me to speak more frankly. As my health now stands, Ido not believe my life ¢ worth six months’ purchase from this moment, but a com- lete change of some years to such aclimate as Egypt might prolong my valuable life indefinite- ly, and one has even heard of marvellous cures effected there. It will be worth putting it to the test whether to live or die, I suppose, and either way no great harm ean coine of tt.” “No great harm!” ejaculated Lionel. “For you to go away for years, taking all the bright- ness from here with one fell swoop”—his volce broke there for a moment—“exiling yourself with strangers in a foreign land, there to fight it out alone with life or death! Gerard do you want to break my heart?” And Lionel flung his unfinished cigar from him to fall wherever It listed. “There is no need to draw the picture so darkly,” sald Gerard with determined cheerful- ness. “The doctors, here, as you know, emulate each other in their incapacity to set me right, and If this chance succeeds—as why should it not?—you would grant it worth the trial. But take the other alternative, and what then?

Lady Violet felt ready to do some desperate thing. Let a noble-iearted woman see the man she loves in physical suffering, and she | longs at once to assert her right to be at his | side, and minister to and sustain him. She, | too. wandered out alone in hopes that some chance meeting might give her an opportunity of easing the weight at her heart by some word of spoken sympathy; and while framing in her mind how this was to happen, she suddent came upon the object of her solicitude seated on @ garden bench in a hollow of rhododendrons. He was looking away from her toward the distant hills, his arm thrown across the rustic back of the seat, and his hand slightly support- ing his head; but he turned on hearing her foot- step. His face was calm and self-contained as ever; but his solitary reverie had left on it an elevation such as sie had never seen there be- fore, as the light lingers in the west, although for us the sun has set. Her heart sank within her. The immortals seemed to her already claiming him for those higher regions where human love and Gina may not follow until their resurrection into feel- ings purer and less passion-tossed than those of earth. Not one word of the speeches she had rehearsed came to her now. He rose up with his usual smile of ting, and would have had her join him on the rustic seat, and when she declined, saying she must prepare for the drive, he walked beside her toward the house. She knew it was useless to renionstrate, that hi: A ses breeding would not lo wand in a lingering content. “Se that is over,” sald Gerard, with more emptasis than he was aware, as their hands fell > “The ateps down, do you mean ?” she asked. “The descert to a lower level,” he replied; and the next moment they had joined the rest ef she party, and it ceexred to Gerard semedozen permit her to return She felt humiliated, annoyed, disappointed, to nothing but the merest trivialities could she give utterance.

I did not know this before to-day, but it Is perhaps the best. way of doing it.

There was silence again for some moments, and then Lionel spoke in a voice full of pain and passion, but also with a kind of enthusiasm ring- ing through it. Gerard, Lhad rather be you than any one else I ever heard of. You areas much above the rest of us as those stars up there. No honors could make you higher than you are, and death or life, it is all one to you. I would rather be like you than any one On earth, ly career has been one of such marked suc- cess that I can easily believe you, you arch flatterer!” said Gerard, but he spoke with indulgence, tor he knew that the words had come from the depths of as honest and warm a r beat, and that his brother's eyes, looking up to the starry multitude of the sky, were full of tears. Lionel had not outgrown the ae of hero-worship—it 1s not on record that he ever did—and he had not chosen his hero far amiss. A little longer they lingered on those steps together—a little longer yet after saying they must go. Next day, after he had gone, the news of his plans set the whole household in commotion, and the general consternation and regret over them seemed to Lady Viol the best satire on the uselessness of Gerard's as described by they had jested of another meeting at Glanir- won! She could scarcely have named the piace to-day to save her life, and felt, with every step she tock, low enforced was the escort on his himeelt. “It ities had been given him,” sald she to tenants “he would ars been a’ leader lamong men. As fate has willed, it is hls home and a narrow circle that have owned him and ferme his services, and is he less great for that!” The Egyptian expedition had indeed hurried forward its movements. Iha tew days Gerard Teappeared to take leave, and the occasion was marked by that regret and hurry, baulking of desire and impoteace of speech, that seem in- mporenie to partings that strike deeply. t was remarked by all that Gerard looked worn and white: but ‘he said it was only from the overwork incident to this forced march on And Violet was aware she had never realized what misery meant until to-day.. Not a word of Glanirwon; ot moonlight memories in the past or meetings in the future! He was going, and even simplest words of sympatiy were frozen on her jips. He was gone, and she had only hurried torth at tte last the things she cared least tosay. Time ang the hour tortured her until the solace of night was gained. Then, sleepless and despairing. she gauged again and again the bitter result of a time that had prom- ised so fairly. ‘Lionel would undertake im- possible things for my sake,” she murmured. “Howard surely wants me to be his wife; Ger- ard goes aw ‘ay without a word, to die ina dist- ant country!” And next day, in good truth, Howard laid himself and his prospects, figuratively speaking, at her feet. and never had the magnificent one, through all his prosperous career, been more taken aback than by the very distinct refusal he met with from Lady Violet. So time went on, and before six months were over, Gerard, true to his presentiment, was struggling for life with the disease that, how- ever often baffled before,seemed doomed to con- quer now. The result from the first seemed hopeless; his hold on life was almost gone, and though he hung on between life and death far longer than the doctors had predicted, they said it was but the last grip of vitality so remarkably strong in some constitutions, and that recovery was all but Impossible. When the patient still lived on, they modified this opinion to a certain extent. “He might Inger for a while,” they said: and so far their Sagacity was justified by the event. But the Uttle while grew into a long while, and Gerard had made unquestionable advances toward re- covery. Thé Solons around him were puzzled; were, indeed, wholly out of their reckoning; but, to do them Justice, they were even yet more pleased, for Gerard, at home and abroad, and ill or well, had the mysterious gitt of winning hearts. The tenderest care was lavished on him by the strange attendants round, and by his friend Lord A. When at length he rose from that sick bed, it was with a very uncertain hold on any earthly future, and it ‘seemed scarcely worth while to traverse the weary stages of convalescence with the enemy still so near. With many a back- sliding, with many checks, the stages were. how- ever, traveled, until Gerard was at last as well as he had been when leaving England. And then what was this that the doctors began to hint about, and at last so openly predict—this that his own opinion bezan confirm in a res- they olute way that was indeed new ? . With siniles, in- #5 They began, these good 1 stantly qualified by warning si to say that, with care, with a fi benefits of the Egyptian climute, and thelr own most skillful treatment, Gerard inight yet Ive to be older than any of them, and enjoy health far better than he had known before. Gerard himself, who had so often faced death calmly, could not quickly trust his voice to thank those that brought him now the meszage of life—life with its renewed hopes and possibilities, its wonderful God-given opportunities, Its glamour | and its joy. ‘There are some natures, and these not the least noble, whom joy breaks down as ill-tortune never yet’ had power to do, who will meet the one with undaunted courage and calm front, the other with bowed knee and with head abased. Gerard’s own heart knew best why he valued this boon of life so highly, but he was slow to believe in its possession, and the doctors had no difficulty in persuading him to leagihen Mis stay in Egypt as long as prudence required. Unill their unanimous voices had again and ayein ratified that hope that they had given him, until prudence itself liad no further pre- cautions to urge, Gerard remained In Egypt, then, fleet as a grayhound released front the slips, he took his way northward and home- ward. Not much was changed there. One sister had married, Ted was otter-huuting in Wales, Lionel’s coveted moustache had come. He had managed to get away from his work to meet his favorite brother on his landing and bear him back In triumph to Dangerfield Park; and that reunion, so little hoped for, left nothing on Li nel’s side to be desired ; ttle on Gerard's eithe only that his desire now was to go forwarc his home was only a halting-place, and no lon- ger a goal. Such changes are the Inevitable work of years, but large natures such as his do not forsake the old for the new, but rather ex- of the head, ' trial of the paud themselves untll they take in both allke, like oaks that mark the cycles of time by added rings. They talked together again under the stars, Gerard and Liozel, with unabated confi- dence and brighter hopes, and they spoke of Lady Violet Kneller. Lionel had not a little to tell of trifles connected with that never-to-be-for- gotten visit long ago. In spite of his moustache, his face was as boylsh and sunsbiny as ever: but, for all that, Lionel was a shrewd observer, and drew his conclusions sometimes with re- markable nicety. There was not much, per- haps, that was notable in what he said, for Lionel had tact, and Gerard listened almost in silence, and with little comment. Only when the two brothers stood side by side on the hall steps, before parting for the night, said Gerard to Lionel: “Iam going to-morrow down to Wales, to look for Ted and the otter hounds. It was chiefly for that express purpose I came back to England. “T hope you will find them, then, with all my heart,” said Lionel; and both laughed signifi- cantly, and knew they were speaking in para- bles well understood. Next day Mrs. Danby was not a little per- turbed at Gerard's intentions, and thought it reat folly on his part to expose his newly- covered health to the risks consequent on otte: hunting; but Gerard assured her that he would observe every caution, and kept his word, since, though he went down to Wales that afternoon, | Ted and the otter-hounds beheld him not. Lady Violet had not married in the years that had passed since his departure. She had tried to forget a certain fine face with Its militury set of head and heavy moustache, since she found it barred the way against all fresh interests aid loves that came near her. She had tried to be resigned to the expected news of a death ina farcountry with which her life would have no ostensible connection, but in neither effort did she meet with much success th how little, Indeed, she only realized when Gerard Danby walked once more at her « through the river mists and under the deer- nd oaks of Glan- irwon, What he told her there, what he asked and What she answere, need not be speciiied here. Herne the Huiter heard it perhaps, and the river gods and Pan—but they keep such secrets safely and oniy hint at t ja the sweet mur- mur of water and rustle of bough down in Wales. Anyhow, Gerard and Violet were mar- ried after a brief engagement, and somehow noone who Ww the brideroom ever insinuated that interested motives had led him to seek for the hand of the heiress of Glanirwon. He had abundant work cut out for him in the management of that fine estate, and it was with a tirm and capable hahd he ruled his kingdom. That that ruie was a beloved one, that Lady Violet and he were the model couple of thecoun- try-side, may be safely assumed, and no one held the bellef more strongly than an aspirant for medical fame inthe army, called Lionel, who visited very frequently at 'Glanirwon, looking always some years younger than his actualage. Ted and the ottcr-hounds were always wel- come, too, but Howard. was not quite so fre- quent a visitor. Bach time he came he won- dered anew how it was Lady Violet had prefer- red his brother to himself, until some misgiving grew to mingle with the surprise, and as time uu A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN. ‘Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings miay be truth- fully called the ‘Dear Friend of Woman,” as some of her correspondents loved to call her, is zealously devoted to her work, which is the out- come of & life-study, and is apliged to keep six lady assistants, tohelp her answer the lange correspondence which daily pours in upon her, each bearing its epfcial burden of suffering, or Joy at release from it. Her Veg- etabie Compound ds a medicine for good and not evil rposes. I have personally investigated it, and am satiened of the truth of this. On account of its proven merits, it is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians in the country. One says: ‘It works iike a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling of the ute- rus, Lencorrheea, irregular and painful Menstruation, ail Overian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the consequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Life.” Itpermeatesevery portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintpese, Setulenty, destroys all craving for st mulant:, and relieves weak- ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration. General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always vermanentiy cured by its use. It will atail times, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs the female system. It costs only 1$"per bottle, or eix for $5, and is sold by drugwists. Any advice required as to special cases, and thenames of many who have been restored to perfec health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mre. P., with stamp for reply, ather home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex thir compound is unsurpassed, a3 abundant testimonials show. ‘Mre. Pinkham’s Liver Pills " says one writer, “‘are the beat in the world for the cure of Constipation, Bi'- ousners and Torpidity of theliver. Her Blood Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair to equal the compound ia its popularity.” Alltaust respect her asan Angel of Mercy whose sole ambition is to do good to others, Philadelphia, Pa.
