The party v% as completed liy the addition (jf a newly-mnrried couple nf whom Mrs. Carr had knt.wn somethinK at home, anl who had come to Ma<lelra to HijcAil the honey-jiioon. I.ady Flor- ence al.so had lieen asked, Imt rather to Arthurs diBappointiiieiit, Hhe could not oome. ' Wh<'in the long line of swiupinK ham- Uiocks, each with its two sturdy heiir- ers, were marshaled, and the adven- turous voyagers had settled themselves in them, they really formed quite an iniosiiig procession, headed as it was by the extra-sized ojv that carried WiKs Terry, who complained bitterly that " the tbin^ wobbled and made her fee] sick." Hut -to Arthur's mind th<'re was eomethiji,? effiminate in allowing him- aelf, a ntrone, active man, to l>e car- ed up hills as steep aa the side of a bouse by two |)erspirin(? wretches ; so tot aa It was, he, to the immense em- Utienjeat of his bearers, elected In gel out and walk. The newly marrietl man (olluued his example, and for awhile Ihey went on together, till prea«-nlly the latter gravitated toward his wifi's palonliiiin, and overcome at so lung a eeparat on, squeezed her haml tietween the curl aims. Not wishing to intrude himself on their conjugal felicity, Arthur, in his turn gravitated to the side of Mrs. Carr. who was Ijeing lightly swung aJung in the Hecond palanquin some twenty yards Iwhind Miss Terry's. ShorlJy afterward they oliserved a sig- nal of diMlrrss being flown by that Jttdy, w hose arm was to he seen vLoltnt- ly agitatiiig her green veil from be- tween the curtains of her hammock, which immediately came lo a dead stop. " Wlial is it I" cried Arthur and Mil- dred ill a hreath, as they arrived on the st'A-ue of supjiused disaster. "My dear JNIiiareil, will jou l>e.eo kind as tu tril that man," pointing to h«'r froiit bearer, a stout, flabby indl- viduaj, " that h<' mu.M jiol go on car- rying me, I must have a cooler uiau.

"My dear Agatha," replied Mililred, laughing, "what is to he done/ Of course the man is hoi, you are not a feuther-v eight ; but what is to lie done i" 'I don't know, but I won't go on with him, it's .simply disgusting; he might U-t liimsidf out as a watering- cart."

" Miss Ter- ry must turn liersidf round with her liead t<H\ard the back of the hammock, and tlieii tilie won't see him."

Here they sat down and gazed at the »pje0iilid and many tinted view- Bet in it.s liackgrouiiil of emerald ocean. "What a view it i.s," said Arthur, " I.oiik MiJ'lred, how dark the liumps of sugar-cane look against the green of the vimcs, and how pretty the red roofs of the town are peeping out of the groiea of fruit trees. Do you see the great sh.idir.v thrown U|i<in the sea liy that cliff,' how deep and cool the watf'r ioiikB within it, and how it spar- kjes where the suji strikes." '" Yes, it is leautiful, anil the pines Wuell sweet." ' , " I wijih Angela could see it," he â- aid, half to hiin.si'if.

"' Anil what di*l she say 1" •' Hhe said that to her it 8i)oke of immortality, ajid that in everything aroujid her she saw evidences of eter- nal life." " She must lie very fortunate.

"' Of neither <leath nor immortality, but of the full, happy pulsing existence of ihe hour, and of the lieautiful world that posflimisls like yourself and the mvstics like your Angela think so jmor- ly of, but w'hich is really so glorious and so rich in joy. Why, this sunlight and those flowers and the wide spar- kle of the sea, are each aad all a hai>- piness. and the health in our veins and the beauty in our eyes, deep plea- sures that we never realize till we lose them. iJeatli, indeed, comes to u« all, but why add to its terrors by thinking of them whiJe it is far off? And, as for life after death, it is a faint, vague thing, more likely to he horrible than happy.

I will come, too; it i» time for tea." On arriving at th* 8|ot, whence the Hounds proceeded, they found Miss Terry surrounded by a crowd of laugh- ing and excited bearers, and pouring out a flood of the most vigorous Eng- lish ujion an unfortunate islander, who SiUiod, ,1 silver muR in each hand, bow- inic and shrugging his shoulilers, and enunciating willi every variety of minement. indicative of humiliation. tli<'H«' mystic words : '" .Mee wasJieeupfier, signora, washee- ujiiiee â€" e" •â-  What i.s the matter now, Agatha/" ""Matti-rl whv I woie up antl found this man stealing the cups; I charged him at once with mj umbrtdla. but he dolge.l, uiid 1 feDl down, and the um- brella has gone over the ruck there.

After tea thev all net out on a granil U'elle-hunting expedition, and so in- tent were they U|on this fascinating pursuit ihat the^ did mot note the flight of time, till suddenly .Mildred, pulling out her watch gave a pretty cry of alarm. " l>o you kinowiwhat liine it i». good peoide ! Half-past six, BJld the Cust- ajices are to dine w ith us at a nuarter- pasl seven. It will take us a good hour to get down; what .shall we do f" "'I know," a«id Arthur; "there are two .siledges just lielow ; I saw them as we came up. Tliey will take us ilown lo h'unchal in a quurter of an hour, and wo can get to Ihe Quinta by aliout s<^ven." â- " Arthur, you are invaluable ; the very thing. Come on, all of you, quick." .Now these aledges are |)eculiar to .Madeira, being made on the principle of the bullock car, with the difference thai they travel ilown the Muooth, stone-paved roadways by their own mo- mentum, guiiled by two skilled con- ductors, each wi<h one foot naked to prevent his slipping, who hold the riiiH's, and when Ihe sleil^te begins to travel more swiftly ihan thej can fid- low, mount upon the projecting ends of the rninnerM anil are carried with it. liy nienjiK of the swift, and exhilarat- ing rush of these sledges. Ihe travel- er traverses the distance, that it takes some hours to climb, in a very few mjnutes. Indeed, his journey up and down may lie very well cumpareil with that of the well-known Hrilish sailor who took five hcuTs to get up Majuba iimunlain, but. according to his own forciblv told story, came down again with an almost incr«'dil'lB rapidity. It may therefore lie imairincil that sleilge- IraVeliag in Mailcirik is not very well 8uit«!d to nervou.'f voyagers. Mis.s Terry had at times seen these wheelleB.s vehicles shoot from the top of a mountain to Ihe biittom like a balloon with the gas out, and had also heard of oiasional accidents in c.onuec- tiiin with them. Stoutly she vowed Ihat nothing shouild indue* her to trust her neck to one of them. "But you mu.st, Agalla, or else be left Ix'hind. 'I'hey are as safe as a church, anil I can't leave the Custan- ces to wait till half past eight for din- ner, (^ome, get in Arlliair can ^o in front and rioTd yooi; I will sit behind." Thus admonished Ali.^s Terry entered, groaning, Arlliur taking his seat 1<>- side bii'l, and Mrs. Carr hers in a sort of diikey liehlnd. The newly-married pair, who did not' halt like it, possess ed the.ina<-lves of the smaller sledge, determined to brave extinction in each other's arms. Then the conductors seized the rojies, and planting one nak- ed foot firmly l>efore tluim, awaited the signal to depart. "Stop," said Miss Terry, lifting the re<"overpd umlirella, "that man has for- gotten to put on Ws shoe and st(x;king on his right leg. He will cut his foot, and, lieaidefl, it doesn't look respe<tab!e to lie seen flying through a plstce with a one-Ie<rged ragamuffinâ€"" "Let her go," shoutpd Arthur, and they did, to some purpo.se, for in a minute they were lasj-ing down that hill like a flash of light. Woods and houses api>eared and vanished like the vi.sions of a dream, anil the soft air went singing away on either side of tliem, as the-y olove it, flying down- ward at an angle of tliirty degrees, and leaving nothing Ix-hind them but the sound of Miss Terry's lamenta- tions. Soon tljey Beared the bottom, imt tliere wn.s yet a diji â€" the deepest of them all, with a .sharp turn at the end of itâ€" to 1* traversed. Away went the little connul ial sledge in front like a pigeon down the wind; away thiey sjied after it like an eagle in pursuit; crack went the lit- tle sledge into the corner, and out shot the h.appy pair, crash went the big sledge into it, and Arthur Itecame conscious of a wild yell, of a green veil fluttering through the air, and of a fall as on to a (eather-hed. Miss Terry's superior weight had brought her to her mother earth the first, and he. after a higher heavenward flight, had alighted ujmn the top of her. He picked her up and sat her down again- st a wall to re<'over her breath, and then fished Mildred, dirty and bruis- ed, but as usual laughing, out of a gutter, thil loving i lir had already ris- en and in an agony of mutual anx- iety were rubbing each other's shins. And then he started l«vi'k with aery, for tliere before him, surveying the disaster with an air of mingled amuse- ment and lienevolence, atoodâ€" Sir John and Lady Del 'amy. Had it lieen the Prince and Princess of Evilâ€" if, as is proliable. there is a prince.ssâ€" Arthur could scarcely have lie«'u mure a.stounded. Somehow, be had always in his thoughts regarded Sir John and Lady Heillamy, when he lliought about them at all, as possess- ing indeed individual characters and tendencies, l«ut as completely ""ad- script! glel«w>" of the neighliorhood of the A'diey Houae as lliat hou.se iLself. He would as MHin have ex|M>cted to see Care.sfoof's Staff rerooted in tlie soil of Madeira, a.s to find tli«in strolling aliout Funch&l. He rubl>ed his eyes; perhaps, he thought, he had lieen knoi'k- ed .silly and was lalioring under a hallucination. No, there was no doul>t aliout It; tliere they were, just the same as he had seen thi-m at l.sleworth, excepting lli'tt if [loasible Sir John looked more like a ripe apple Ihan usu- al, w'lile the Htui had browned his wife's Kgyptian fwe and given her a last fin- ish a-s aiK-rfeel tyjio of Cleopatra. Nor was tJie r«-<'ognitiiin on his side only, for next second liis hand was grasped first by Sir John and then by Lady Bellamy. "When we List met, Mr. Heigham." said the gentleiiian, with a lienevo- lent lieam, "U tl ink I expres.sud a wish that we mi|.-ht soon renew our ac- quaintance, but I little thought und- er what circum.Hlances our next meet- ing would lake |>la^'e," and he pointed lo the overturned sledges and the prostrate sledge rs. "You Imve had a lueri-iful esiape," chimed in Lady llellumy, cordially; "with so many bard stones aUmt, af- fairs might have ended differently." â- '.Now, then, Mr. Heigham, we had ^ Ix'tter Bet lo and run.thttl i-s, if Aga- ; th;» has got a run left in her, or we , Hliall lie late after all.

Hut .\rtliur felt that there was one | question which he must a.sk liefore he â-  went on, wht'lher or not it exceeded' tlie strict letter of his agreement, wit h Pliilip; so, calling to Mr.s.

CHAPTER XLIV. At breakfast, on the following morn- ing, Arthur, as he had anlidiiated, met tlie Dellamys. Sir .lohn came down first arrayed in truM- Knglish fashion, in a tourist suit of Mray, and presently l.ady U«'llainy fol lowed. As she. enter- ed dressed in trailing while, and walk- ed slowly up the lung table, every eye was tui'ned upon lier. for she was one of those women who attract attention as surely and unconsciously as a mag- net attracts iron. Arthur liioking with the rest, tliou^ht that he had never seen, a stranger, and, at the same time, a more imposing-looking woman. Time had not yet touched her lieauty or im- imired her vigorous constitution, and at forty she was still at the zenith of her charuis. The dark hair, that threw oiut glinting lights of copiwr when the sun struck it, still curled in its clustering ringlets and showed no line of gray, wliile the mysterious liieavy-lidded eyes and the coral li[ia were as full of riclu life and lieauty as they had lieen when she and Hilda von Holtzhuuaen first met at Rew- tham House. On her fac« too, was the same expression of _ quiet power, of conscious superiority and calm command, that had always dis- tiuguislied it. Arthur tried to think what it reminded him of, and remem- l)ered that the same look w as to be seen upon tlic stone feature.'? of some of the Eityptian statuiss in Mildred's museum. "How splendid .Lady Bellamy looks! he said, almost xmconsciously, to his neighbor. . . ,u .Sir Joim did not answer; and- Arth- ur, glancing up to learn the reason, saw that he also wa.s watihina; the ap- proM-h of his wife, and that his face was contorted with a sudden spasm' of intense malice and hatred; whilst his little pig-like eye.s glittered threat- eningly. Ele had not even heard lbs remark. Arthur would have liked to whistle ; lie had .surprised a secret. "How do you do, Jlr. Hejgliam f I hope that you are not bruLsed after your tumble yesterday. Good-morning John." Arthur rose and shook hands. "1 never was nmre surprised in my life," be said, than when 1 saw you and Sir Jolin at the top of Ihe street there. May I ask w hat brought you to Madeira ?" "Health, sir, hea th," answered the little man. ""Cough, catarrh, influen- za, and all that's damnâ€" ah I infernal I" '".\Iy husliand, Mr. Heigham, "struck in I*idy Bellamy, in her full rich tones, "'liad a severe threatening of chest dis- ease, and the doctor re.'onmiended a trip to some warmer climate. Ifn- fortunately, however, bis business ar- rangements will not permit of a long stay. We only stop here three weeks at most." "I am sorry to hear that you are not well. Sir John." "Oh I it is nothing very much," an.swered Lady Bellamy for him; "only he requires care. What a lovely gar- den this is â€" Ls it not f By the way, I forgot to inquire after the la lies who sliared your trouble. I hope that they were none the worse. 1 wa.s inu-b struck with one of them, the very pretty person with the brown hair, whom you pulled out of the gutter." "Oh, Mrs. Carr. Yea, she is pret- ty." After breakfast Arthur volunteer- «id to taJte Lady Hellaray round the garden, witii the ulterior object of ex- tracting some information aliout An- gela. It must lie remembered that he had no cause to mistrust Ihat lady, nor had he any knowledge of the events wlucb had recently bapp<>ned in the neighlmrhood of the Abbey House. He was therefore perfectly frank with her. "I suiipose that you have beard of my engagement, l.ady Bellamy f" "Oh, yes. Mr. Heigham; it is quita a subjw't of conversation in the Kox- ham nei^tbl orhood. .\ngela Caresfoot Ls a sweet and very lieautiful girl.and I congratuJute you much." "Vou know, then, of its conditions f" "Yes, I heard of them, and thought them ridiculous. Indeed I tried, at .Angela's suggestion, to do you a good turn with Philip Caresfoot, and get him to modify them; I ut he would not. He is a curious man. Philip, and. when lie once gats a thing into his head, it is lieyond tiue power of most (leople to drive it out again. I suppo.se that you are s|iending your year of prolation lucre f" "Well, yesâ€" I am trying to get through the time in ihat way; but it is slow work." "I tliought you seemed pretty happy yesterday," she answered, smi'iug. Arthur blushed. "Oh,! yes. I may appear to lie. Hut tell ms all aliout .\ngeln." "I have really very little to tell. She seems to he living as usual and looks well. Her friend .Mr. Kraser has come back. Hut I must le goimg in: I have promised to go out wnl'kiiig with Sir John. Au revijir, Mr. Heigham."" l.efl to himself, .â- \rthur rememliered, that he also had an appotnlituent to keepâ€" namely, to meet Mifldred by the cathedral steps, and go with her to choose some Madeira jewelry, an und- ertaking which she did not feel com- petent to corry out without his assist- ajice. When he reached the cathedral, he found her rather cross at having been kept waiting for ten minutes. "It is very rude of you,"" she said, "but 1 suppose that you were so taken Uji with the conversation of your friends that you forgot the time. Hy the way. who are they f Anybody you have toUl me about?'" In the pauses of selecting the jew- elry, Arthur told her all he knew about the Hellamys and of their connection with the neighborhood of the Alibey House. The story caused Mildred to op- en ber lirown eyes and look thoughtful. Just as they came out of the shop, whom should they run into but the Hel- himys IhemseTves. chaffering for Ma- deira Work with a woman in Ihe .street. Arthur slopi>ed and spoke to them, and then iiilroiluced Mrs. Ciirr, who, after a little conversation, asked them up to lunch. After this Milklred and Lady Hel- Uimy met a go«Ml deal. The two women interested each other. One night when the Bellamys had l*en alout ten days in Madeira, the oonversition took a personal turn. Sir John and Arthur were sitting over tJicir wine, they were dining with Mrs, Carr .\gatha Terry was fast asleep on a sofa so that Lady Bellamy and Mil- dre.d seated upon lounging-chairs. by a table with a light on it. placed by an I'lH'.n window, were practically alone. â- "Oh. hy the way, Lady Hellamy,"' .said Mildred after a pause, "1 believe that you are acquai/nted with the young lady tti whom Mr. Heigham is eugage<l »" She had meant to say, ""to be married,"' but the words stuck in her throat. '"Oh. yes, I know her well." "I am so glud. I am quit© curious t<i hear what she is like; one can never put much faith in lovers' raptures, you kno^v." "Ho you mean in person, or In chtir- acter ?" •â- Both." "Well, Angela Caresfoot. is as lovely a woman as «ver 1 saw., w»iith a noble figure, well-set bead and magnificent ©yes and hair. Mildred turned a lUt^e' pftle, and hit her lips. ... To B© Con/llnuedL . ' Nupse Moppis' Seeret. EXPLAINS HOW SHE SAVES MOTHERS' LIVES.

No woman is better fitted f«r nurs- ing, or has had more yean of practi- cal experience in that work than Mrs. Mooes Mori is of 340 Fourteenth street, , IJetroit. Mich. For twenty years she j baa tieen recognized as the best and most successful nurse in confinement i cises, and over three hundred happy I mothers can testify to ber skillful nursing und care. Always engaged months ahead, she has had to declina hundreds of pressing und pleading ap- plications for her services. She has made asiiecialty of confinement cases, and has made s., high a reputation in this city that her engagement, in all oat s, is taken as a sure sign of the mother's speedy recovery. Mrs. Morris was a nurse in England before she came to America, and so was her mother and her mother's mother liefore- her. When asked once by a leading physician the secret of her great success in treating mothers In confinemeni cases, she said she used Or. Williams" Pink Pills for Pale People, in such cases, as they build up the mother more quickly and suraly than any other medicine* she had ever used. Mrs. Morris was seen at her pretty little home on Kourteenth Street, and when asked regardinfc the use of these pi' Is in her profession, she said: "I have used Or. Williams' Pink Pills for Piile People since they were put on the market. They built me up when I was all run th.wa and so nervous I could not get any 1-e.st. After they had heltiod me I lieg.iu to use them in re- storing mothers in corvfiuement cases. There is not hiug that can be prescribed or given by a physician that will give health and strength to a mother so quickly as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills 'or Pale People, ll is true that in some oases where the lather or parents were prejudiceil against the much advertis- ed Or. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I gave them as â- â- Tonio Pills," but they all came out of a Ur. W illiama' Pink'Piil box. "I have given Iham in hundreds of cases of confinement to the mother, and it is wonderful bow they build up the system. I hi.ve practically demon- strated their great worth many times and have rec-ommended them to hun- dreds of mothers for their ycung daughters. Yes, I have b«en succesa- ful in confinemeni cases, but 1 must) give Or. Williajus" Pink Pills for Pale I People a great part of the credit for 1 the speedy recovery of mothers.
