guilphl6thde aunt betsys present well i must must sav i think it is horribly mean of your auntbetsy estella after making a favorite of you all your life arid having you with her ever since you were a mere baby she might have sent you something worth having ou yoar twentynrst birthday especially as she knows how poor you are since your fathers death said my mother sharply ton had better take it as a hint for the future and cot build any more castles k what aunt betay is likely to do for you remarked my sister lena while walter my only brother added with a provoking grimace here endeth my sister stellas great expectations you need not make such unpleasant remarks i snswered pettishly in sending me the portrait of her old sweet heart poor old auntie j given me her greatest treasure and she no doubt thinks i shall value it as much as she does well it may come in useful after all for if as i expect you never get a sweet heart yon can imagine he was yours when you are a sour old maid like aunt betsy said lena who prided herself not a little ou being engaged at eighteen while i at twentyone had never had an offer not even the ghost of a lover i had lived with aunt betsy down in her quiet country home in the south of corn wall until my fathers death two years be fore wheu coming up to london for his funeral i found my mother left in such straitened circumstances that i felt it my duty to stay and earn what money i could to helpher thereby however i incurred aunt betsys anger surely she wrote your brother and sister can help your mother yon have no need to leave me lonely in my old age after i have had all the trouble of you as a child etc etc i would willingly have returned for a close london lodging was not at all to my taste after my aunts large airy country- house but tav mother seemed to lean ou me and so to dread my leaving her that i had not the heart to go i aunt betsy deither came nor wrote and i had quite resigned myself to the idea tha i was hopelessly on her black books when the above related event took place i now i knew that i was forgiven in her early youth aunt betty then the beautiful elizabeth marston my fathers only sister had been engaged to the son and heir of a wealthy london banker he had been sent abroad on business for his father just before they were to have been married and through the jealous treachery of another man who madly loved her and wished to supplant bis rival the engagement had been suddenly broken off by him he then remained abroad and aunt betsy never heard from him again just before he left england he had presented her with a beautiful little miniature of himself set in gold and diamonds and this she had kept together with her maiden- name no other lover ever induced her to ohangeit aa a girl i had often aeen and reverently admired the pretty souvenir and i had taken all a girls interest in tbe lovestory attached to it aunt had always told me it was to he mine and now i felt certain with this trearare in my rjoeeeealon thatt had not quite loaf my old place in her favor though i heard in the4ame litter in which she solemnly oomrnmided the por trait to my oare that ahe had adopted an orphan girl in my plaoe as her companion and probably heiress i put the letter and portrait away with a sigh of regret for my old happy home with iu quiet and freedom rota the toils ud care and worry that ware now my daily portion things went on from bad to worse with us and my twentyseoond birth day found me in despair walter unable to gat on here had gone to new zealand lena had married on a very slender income and gone to live in the north i oould not bead to ask help from aunt betay and my mother was ill and my work so scarce that i could barely find us the necessaries of ilia at last i too became ill and we had not a penny in the house everything we had even poor mammas engagement ring had gone for food stella you must go and get some money mrs burton says she will have the rent by tomorrow or we shall have to turn out into the street there is would you mind dear your aunt betsys pres ent you could get enough for that to keep us for a long time mamma dear i cannot dare not sell it anything of mine i would not with- hold but this oh dont ask me 1 and yet the generous donpr has never sent us- the price of a loaf asid my mo ther bitterly well take my wedding- ring it has never been off my finger since your poor dear father put it on twentyfive years ago but it must go now no no mamma you must not shall not take it off i will go and take aunts present not to sell but to the pawn shop then i may perhaps et it back when walter sends ua some money with a heavy heart and weary lagging steps i departed on my hateful task ah our things had been sold we bad preferred to lose them to going into that diagraoeful refuge of tbe destitute a london pawn brokers arrived outside i paced to and fro until my tottering limbs weak from illness and continual fasting warned me that my strength would not hold out much longer i entered only one other person a tall dark gentleman wboee face i oould not see in the semidarkness stood there talking to the shopman i tell you my man the plate is here it has been traced by a clever detective who will join me here in a few minutes he is only delaying because he thinks be has traced the thief and has gone to follow up the search well sir i am sure you are mistaken but my principal will be here in a few momenta you must talk to him what can i do for you young woman he ask ed turning to me somewhat eagerly evidently glad of an excuse to evade his unpleasant visitors conversation unable to speak i drew forth my treas ure the shopman looked rtypiciously at me as betook it up and tested it tour name and address please he said sharply and how much do you want i want a a little money if you please i faltered as i spoke the gentleman turned and i oould feel a pair of bright keen eyes scan ning my pale face i grew more helpleasly confased my tongue absolutely refused to utter a word tell the shopman how much you want and your name my good girl he said in a kind and pitying tone then for the first time i raised my eyes to his face feeling i had found a friend merciful heaven 1 was i dreaming or had my late troubles driven reason from my brain and filled it instead with wild de- lasive fancies surely there stood the original of my aunt betsys portrait but young and stal wart as he had been forty years ago when it was taken in vain i tried to speak i could only point helplessly to thejnrtrait the shop with its occupants and its contents swam around me and with a cry for help i sank fainting to the groond when i next awoke to consciousness i was lying on an improvised bed on the old oonchinonrsittingroomathome ioouldnt move my head it felt weak and sore then i tried to lift my hands but to my surprise i was powerless to do so a woman plain ly dressed with a kind and motherly face was sitting near me and rose as i moved i looked around bewildered mamma i called feebly hush hush my dear miss said the kindlooking woman soothingly ton must not speak your mamma is asleep and you might wake her- so i lay still wondering weakly who she was and who had sent her there but presently seeing her stir the fire into a blare i forgot her caution aa all my old anxieties name back and i said plead ingly dont poke the fire please it will burn out too quickly and we nave no more coals oh now miss you have been dream ing the cellar is nearly toll the coals only came in last week again i essayed to answer but gently yet with such authority ordered to be quiet that i was glad to obey so i lay till enjoying the sensation of being able dot even to think in a day or two i grew strongerand one morning to my delight my mother came in andl had leave gnen me to tali alike j then i heard all aboutmylaioadviti- tatv i ituryrrictwpdaiuitebtifay dear and it reads like a ohapter out of a three- volume novel said my mother who by the way looked quite bright and strong again when you fell down in a faint you let fall the envelope in which yon had carried the miniature and the gentleman who was in the shop i remember him mamma i ohpd excitedly he was the very image of the portrait i fancied i must be dreaming that la the strangest part of the story but you wont let me tell it to you properly my dear that gentleman saw your name and address brought you home in a cab sent in a nurse and everything we wanted and has been our good angel ever sinoe he is arthur bashleigh the only son of your aunt betsys first lover who after mourning the supposed faithlessness of his old love married late in life and has not long been dead leaving arthur a large fortune his astonishment at seeing you with his fathers portrait you may be sure was very great however it was a very lucky thing for ua after all aunt betsys present was not such a poor one by the way here it is mr rashtmgh was kind enough to bring it back with him there was one thing which did not ap pear to concern my mother in the least but made my pale face flame and that was the idea of receiving all these benefits from a mere stranger upon whom we had not the slightest claim unless the fact that his father forty tears before had been my aunts lover oould be considered one so i made up an eloquent speech in which i th him warmly for all his goodness and delicately yet firmly con veyed the information that i intended to fully repay him as soon us i could get to work again n but carefully as i rehearsed it that elo quent speech was never uttered nor did i wonder at my mothers willingness to re ceive benefits from him when once i had aeen and talked with him he was so lonely he said he had not a single friend or relative in england and a manservant whom he had treated with kinrlrwm and oonfldenoe had just robbed him of some valuable old family plate which his father had thought highly of and bad carried with him in all his wanderings 1 forme may i confess it without shame the grateful interest i felt in him soon grew into love and ah happy as my life has been since can i ever forget that happy evening when walking home from- the ooncert whither he had taken me he told me that he loved me dearly and asked me to be bis wife but i i am poor i am not pretty and i am so old i pleaded fearing to accept this sweet new nappinees and mindful of lenas depreciation of my per sonal appearance age etc arthur laughed and drew my arm closer in his ii you are too old for marriage at two- andtwenty how may i hope with six years added on ever to enter that blissful state he asked so i sajd yes and soon after we all went down to aunt betsys and there i was married at tho little village church to the son of her old lover who loved and rever- need the queer touchy old maid not a lit tle for her loyal devotion to his father so aunt betsys present saved my dear mothers life and alsosaved roe from the dreadful fate lena had threatened me with i had it made into a locket and i wear it constantly i is generally mis taken for the portrait of my dea husband so is the large oilpainting of his father which hangs in our drawingroom from which this miniature was copied we are very happy and when my hrother walter comes home as we expect bin to do with bis new bride next christmas we snail have a

person and strives to raise him and especially to keep his bead lereot there must be an instinctive apprehension that it a person seized with a fainting or other fit falls into the recumbent position death is more imminent i must have driven a mile today while a lady fainting was held upright i found her pulseless white and apparently dying and i believe that if i had delayed ten minutes longer she would really have died i laid her bead down on a lower level than her- body and immediately color returned to her cheeks and she became conscious to tbe excited group of friends i said always remember this fact namely fainting ia caused by want of blood in the brain the heart ceases to act with sufficient force to aepd the usual amount of blood to the brain and hence the person looses conacibusdess because the function of the brain rjoasre beatore the blood to the brain and instant ly the person l now though the blood is propelled to all parte of the body by the action of the heart yet i is stn under the inflnenob of the laws of gravita tion in the erect reitiot toe blood ascends to the bead against gravitation and the supply to the brain is diminished as com pared with the reempbent position the hearts pulsation being equal if men you place a person sitting whose heart has nearly ceased to beat his brain will fas to receive blood white if you lay him down with the head

to be called wise the boles of courtesy probably onehalf of the rudeness of yonths of this day that later in life will develop into brutality is due to the failure of parental to enforce in the family circle the rules of courtesy the son or daughter who is discourteous to members of the fam ily because oil familiarity with them is very likely to prove rude and overbearing to others and very aertain to be a tyrant in the household over which he or she may be called on to preside there is undeniably among the rising generation a lack of courteous demeanor in the amily of all places in the world
