f" ‘ZHAPTER V. aw which Kate had with her father that evening was not a very long one. . nor was it remarkable for any display of feeling on either side. He had, as he said, made up his mind, and nothin Kate could Bay had the least (fitct upon him. She did her best; but when he rose from his chair and told her to leave him, she was no nearer gaining her end than when she broached the lubject. " Will you think about it again when he has got a good practice, father 2" “ You have had my answer, Kate. finally and absolutely No. I will not think about it now or at any other time, and the sooner you forget the man the betler.“ Clearly, there was no hope of doing things in an orthodox fashion ; and before Kate went to sleep that night, she had thought out her prcject in detail, to lay before Charles Lakeworth rtxt day. “ I sincerely hope I have settled that for good and all." said Mr. Dottleson to the mirror after Kate had gone. “if there’s any more bother about it, I’ll send her away into the country for a few months, and see what that will do." He was not destined to hear anything more from Kate; they met at breakfast as usual, and the hated name was not men- tioned. His daughter’s manner towards him was unchanged, and he told himself that she had accepted the inevitable at last, and wr uld not trouble him again. Miss Mumbola might have learnt the particulars of Kate’s device and told them to us, had she been less interested in a speech which a great politician had delivered at a garden-party the day before ; but the lovers conversed in such low tones that only a most attentive listener could have heard what they said. Their last few words were and- ible, and we are able to place them on re- cord. “Now just tell me exactly what you want me to do?’ said Charles when Kate had unfolded her plan. “All you have to do is to go to your lodgings and pack up at once; take away every thing, and say you are not coming back. Don't forget to drop a hint to your landlady that you are going abroad.” “ Where am I to go, and what's to become of my patients 1'" “ Go anywhere you like. but: don’t show yourself on any account. You'd better ask some other doctor to look after your pa- tients ; it will givelcolor to the idea that you have left England.” "if I took lodgings out at: Highgate, it would do 2” “Yes ; it would do very well. Send your address to Miss Muinbole, so that I can write to you. ’ Charles reflected for a few minutes before he spoke again; the plan proposed seemed quite feasible, and promised success. He had everything to win, and little to loss; for if it prospered, Kate would be his with her father’s sanction ; and if it failed, he would be much where he was before. “ All right. Kate, I ll do it. Don’t forget to write.” “Very well; it’s settled. You’d better go at once, and be sure you don't leave your lodgings later than four this afternoon.” By three o’clock Dr. Lakeworth was driv- ing away from his old quarters with all his baggage, having asked a friend to take his practice for a do?Y or two, paid off his land- lady, aud care ully imbued that Worthy woman with the notion that he was bound for the continent. When Mr. Dottleson came home that evening, and casually asked for his daughter, he was informed that she had gone away in a cab, taking a quantit of luggage with her, about an hon." b ore. She had not told any of the servants where she was go- ing, and the only clue to her destination was the order she had been heard to give the cabmau, “ To Victoria." “ Did the leave no message for me?" asked the astounded parent. “No, air." “ Did she say when she was coming back i" “ No, sir." Every domestic in the house was examined in turn ; but not a scrap of iniormat;ou could be gleaned which would throw a ray of ii ht upon this extraordinary proceeding of ste'a. There was only one thing to be done, and Mr. Dottleson did it. He sent for a hansom, and drove as fast as he could o to Victoria Station. There he made squiries of the booking-cfiice clerks; and his heart bounded with excitement when one of tho men looked round from his desk and said that he recollected serving a young lady answering the description, with tickets for Dover. “ With tickets l” ejaculated Mr. Dottie. son. “ How many did she take?‘ “ Two first class singles,” replied the man promptly. That: looked ugly; the faint suspicions he had dismissed as ridiculous, returned and took a very definite shape. " When does the next train leave for Dover 2" " Express at 7.30. sir.” Mr. Dcttleson looked at his watch: it was nearly six now, so he had an hour and a half to wait. He would imploy the time rcfitably by going to Dr. Lakoworth's odgicgs and making inquiries there. “ Is Dr. Lakeworth in 2' he asked the womm who opened the door. “No, sir; out Dr Likeworth ho arz as Dr. “'ilirot” "I don't wan: Dr. Wilmo’.

Lakew'orth cxprc'ed home 2' “ He nintexpectcd;b1t Dr. “'ilmot" Time was too precicus to be frittered away like this: he pushed past the woman into the passage and told her to call the landlady. The landlady took some time to answor the summons, and when she did, she proved to be but one dn-grne more intelligent than the servant. Mr. Dottie-son speedily discovered this, and took her in hand with a firm pa- tience which would have done credit to a Qpeen s C:unsel. Was Dr. Likeworth at home! No, but Never mind tha’. away 3 Go away i it might have been three o‘clock, or half-past, or even four ; the clocks wasâ€" Never mind about the clocks. Was 1):. Lakeworth coming back?

It was ,as clear as daylight. The two were 03' to g the Continent via Dover.

At four o'clock in the morning he drove up to the Station Hotel and dragged himself to bed; he had examined the visitors’ book in every hotel in the place. and had questioned the hall porters besides ; but not a trace had he found of,the fugi- tives. He slept until nine o'clock from sheer fatigue; but as soon as he awoke, he rose, swallowed his breakfast, and went to the police tffice, where he succeeded in obtaining the servicespf men to watch the boats, who Wereto telegraph to him if the pair were seen.

My daughter must be saved to us. a whatever you think most advis- able. “I will do my best," said the melanchol man with a sigh, ” but it's a difficult case." Mr Sllmp had not a reassuring way with him ;but he was an nergetic man enough. Ho put the business in hand at once, and did what he thought was most sfiicacious. Mr Dottlenon saw the result next morningin the Times; here it is . “Mr M. D. of Blakewood Square, Kenaington, earnestly requests his dau hter to communicate with him im- me ately. He hereby undertakes to consider her wish if she at once returns to his care. Mr C. L is also invited to return." He had hardly realised the situation until this caught his eye in the paper. He said nothin to any one, but crammed the Times into h s pocket and drove to Lincoln’s lun. He could not put the thonghtwhioh oppress- ed his brain into words. Mr Slimp was en- gaged when he reached the office ;but on hearing who the visitors was, sent to request him to come in. He went in, and found a middle aged clergyman in earnest conversa- tion with the solicitor. He bowed slightly to our friend, who returned the ealutation with an idle glance. He had no inclination to meet strangers jua‘: now, and was a good ideal surprised at the lawyer receiving him ’self when he had another client in his room. “ Sit down. Mr. Dottleson," said the , solicitor. “Allow me to introduce the Rev. ‘ William Wiskin. Sacrstary to the Central Asia Missionary Society." Mr. Dottleson turned pale and trembled; be was face to face with the enemy. "I had called upon Mr. Siimp in conse- quence of the advertisement in this morn- ling's paper, Mr. Dottleson," eleaimed the clergyman. “ Bsing of course aware of the iSccie "a reversicnaiy interest in the late ‘.\lrs. amshcd's property, it appeared that inquiries made in its behalf might not be out v of place.” “I have advised Mr. Wiskin that he has zas yet no shadow of a claim on the prop» erty," said Mr. Slimp. “W's have no proof of Miss Dattleson‘s marriage to Mr. Lake- worth, or any one else, so far." " I trust that Mr. Dottleson will not con- siderfiny call hasty and precipitate ; but, as ‘1 have pointed out, the young lady may be already wedded to the gentleman named in the advertisement : in which case, duos her , father's consent has obviously not"â€" Kate had often been . y say that we will not speak of these things ; His smoothly flowing speech m ins“. rupteri by a suppressed scream cf rage from Mr. Dottleson, as that gentleman sprang from his chair. grabbed Wildly at the station- ery case on the table, tors s sheet of paper therefrom and seized apsn.

He had fired his last shot. and sank hack into his chair, whence be fixed Mr. Wiskiu with a stare of impotent ferocity, That gentle. man was not slow to understand the footing upon which matters had now been placed, and rose to take his leave, telling the lawyer that he should no doubt hear from him if necessary. rle attempted to address a few words of condolence to Mr. Dottleson; but when he looked at: him, they died upon his lips. and he fled from the (flies, looking back more than once, half expecting to see the outraged parent in pursuit. Mr. Dittieson, however, was too much occupied with his own side of the affair to move; his anxiety lest the paper he had given Mr. Slimp should prove too late, overcame every other sentiment; he hardly knew that he was consenting to Dr. Lake worth’s union with Kate and endotviug the latter with her grandmother’s money, The Missionary Society had been nothing more to him than a name until Mr. “'iskin ap- peared on the scene, and than its reality burst upon him with such threatening clear- ness that his only thought was to defeat its claim. ‘ “If they have been married by now,” said the solicitor slowly, “ no advertisement will induce them to come back; but it’s ‘very unlikely that they would be in such a violent hurry; and wich your leave, I’ll issue a new advertisement which may do more than this one.” " Do what you think best ; but for mercy’s sake, let me know the very moment you hear whether that permission I gave you is in time." Mr. Slimp promised compliance, and saw his client to the door ; then he went back into his room and set himself to draw up an- othsr advertisement, which we may as well show the reader at once : “.If Miss K. D. of No. 21 Blakewood Square, South Remington, will apply to Messrs Starbono and Smugglers, Lincoln's Inn, she will receive the written permission nhc requires. She must apply personally.” The London dailies gave due publicity to this announcement the following morning, with singularly prompt results. Mr. Dot: tleson called at Lincoln's Inn about eleven o’clock to ask for news and was informed that: Miss Dottleson had come to the cfiice half an hour previ- ously, and having inspected the docu- ment her father had signed, and received assurance that it was legally what if: ur- ported to be. had gone away in the direcâ€" tion of the West Endâ€"probably to Blake- wood Square. Mr. D )ttleaou rushed out of the office and called a cab ; his excitemer t was rising again, for in half an hour he was to know where Mrs. Lamshed’s mone was to go. Kate was standing at the ining-room window when he drove up and came to open the door. “When were you married 2” he demanded excitedly the instant he was inside the house. “Married 2” echoed his daughter. not married. Who said I was 2” Mr. Dattleson sank limply into a chair, and gaped at her for three minutes before he found speech. Then he pulled himself together to perform his duty. “Explain where you have been ever since Tuesday. What have you base doing? \Vhere is that scoundrel Lakeworth 2” The extreme simplicity of Miss Dottleson’s explanation goaded her father almost to madness. She had been staying with her old governess, Miss Simcox, at Dover, for a day or two. It was very slow indeed down there; she did absolutely nothing. She wasn't quite sure where Dr. Lakeworth was; but he said on Tuesday that he was going to Highgate for a short time ; no doubt he would write when he saw the advertisement.

[Tiia Esp ] W Work. For work to be the promoter of long and valuable life, we must know how to perform it and within what limits. Like everything else, we must use without abusing it. Moderation is one of the most important elements in all value. When we carry a good thing to excess, it becomes an evilâ€"and work is no exception. Overwork which exhausts the frame, depresses the spirits, and impairs the powers is as much an injury and a moral wrong as idlenessâ€"and both tend to premature decay. It is the same with work that is continuousl distasteful and compul- sci-y, and with war which is performed in a slovenly and inferior manner. Unless it is wall and willingly done, it never carries with i: that satisfaction and contentment which are essential to long life.

Among the interesting exhibits by French manufacturers, at the Paris Exhibition this summer is a very beautiful one from the famous Sevres porcelain factory. The dis- play includes four hundred and forty separ- ate pieces, varying from dainty cups, saucers and plates, to vases and urns of enormous size, statuettes, portraits and even the most delicate bouquets of flowers. Many of the pieces at once impress the observer as beautiful. while others seem a little “ pro nounced " in their vived blues and greens. Almost every tine which can be imparted to porcelain is here; white, turquoise blue, all the greens, the delicate rose pink which has received the name of “ Dubarry," and tcarlcf, which has hitherto proved one of the mostdifiicult of colors to retain under the fierce beat of the baking furnaces, The manufacture of Sevres ware is one of the best. oldest and most characteristic arts of the French. The Sevres potteries have long been under the direct control and patronage of the government, and are in receipt of an annual thousand francs. 'Ihe roceeds from sales go to the State treasury. any fine pieces are sent as gifts to foreign countries. It may be interesting to note the origin of an art which has attained such a world- wide celebri'y. A royal porcelain factory was first estab- lished at Vincennes in 1745, under Louis XV, and produced many notable pieces of ware, particularly bouquets. On one occasion, is is related, His Majesty was the victim of a practical joke. One of the ex- ceedingly life-like bouquets having been placed in his greenhouse by the royal favox - ite,.Madamc de Pompadour, the king, on his nsx: visit to the place, stooped and, in all good faith, attempted to smell the rare exotic. The factory was transferred from Vin. csnnes to Sevres in 1756, since which data it has sent forth works of almost insstimable value. Porcelain pastes, colored by metallic oxides, are now compounded there which resist the action of the mos-:- fisry furnace ; and the enamels an? lazss have a marvel- lous transparency and uatre. Sevres porcelain has always been an expensive production, for the most skilled artists have been employed in its manufac- ture. Formerly the finest pieces were made solely for royalty, and were sold only by roya permission. The prices paid, in modern times, for some of these specimens, have steadily increased till they have become enormous. Cups, saucers and bowls go (if readily at five hundred dollars. or more. At a recent sale, a pair of rose Dabsrry vases were pur- chased for the sum of eighteen hundred and fifty guineas, almost ten thousand dollars; while cups and saucers went cfi‘ at ono hundred and fifty guineas. During the present year, single plates have .5 id for one thousand dollars each, and sea from twentyofive hundred dollars upward. A few years ago the enormous sum of fifty thousand dollars was paid for a single set of three jardinieres. .â€"...+_.__ Picked Up- A physician says of warm honey is taken every fifteen, twenty, or thirty minutes, it has a surprising effect on catarrh.

This will almost always put a rest~ less child to slumber if it is well, and if it is well fed after its bath. Sleeplessnces in an adultLis more difficult to contend with. A warm salt bath may not always act as quick. ly, but it is worth trying. If there is any tendency to cold feet put a warm bottle to the feet after bathing, and in man cases a restful sleep will follow. It is far tter to resort to every subterfuge to induce sleep before resorting to any sleeping draught. Sometimes a few crackers or something else eatenjust before retiring will induce sleep when nothing else will. For this purpose many people seep a cracker jar in their rooms. The thin wafer crackers are excellent for this purpose. For the dry, burning sensation in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet which in- duces sleeplessness, sponge them in ammonia and water or vinegar and water. The continued dwelling on a certain thought may be of value. A frequent remedy of this kind is to imagine an endless flock of sheep stepping one by one over a stile.
