CHAPTER XXVI”. "There's not a scene on earth so full of lightness 'l but withering care Sleeps not beneath the lowers and turns th~~ir brightness 'l‘o dark despair." â€"Ilon. Mrs. Norton. It is a day of blue and goldness so intense as to make one believe these two are the only colors on earth worth.v of admiration. The sky is cloudless; Ill" great sun is wide awake; the t‘lu'w'crs are drooping. sleepingâ€"too languid to lift their heavy heads. "Ill-e gentle wind, that like a ghost doth puss, _ A waving shadow on the cornfield keeps.” And Georgi.- descending the stone steps of tho bah-(my, feels her whole nature. thrill and glow beneath the Naruitli and richness of the beauly -prcad all around with lavish hand.‘ Scarcely a breath stirs the air; no sound comes to inar the deep stillness of the day, save the echo of the "swal- lows’ silken wings skimming the water of the sleeping lake." As she. passes the rose trees, she [Nils out her llilll‘l, and. from the \‘cry fullness of her heart, touches some. of the drowsy flowers with caress- l‘ing fingers. She is fccling peculiarly happy toâ€"day; everything is going so smoothly with her; her life is devoid of care; only sunshine streams upon her path; storm and rain and nipping frosts seem all forgotten. Going into the. garden. she pulls a flower or two and places illt'lll in the. bosom of her white gown. and bend- ing over the basin of a fountain. lo-‘ks at. lit-r own image, and smiles at it, as m-ll she may. 'lli:~ti she. blushes at her own vanity, and, drawing back from nature's mir-i ror, tclls herself she will go a little fur- ther, and see what. Andrews, the under- gzirdener (who has come to Sartoris from Ilyth"). is doing in the slirub~ bery. The path by wiiish she goes is so thickly lined with shrubs on the right: hand side that she cannot be seen through them, nor can she see those beyond. Voices come to her from the . distance, that, as she advances up the She is not. path, grow even louder. thinking of them, or. indeed, of any- thing but. the extreme loveliness of the hour, when words fall upon her ear that make themselves intelligible and. send the blood with a quick rush to IIT'X' heart. "It is a disgraceful story altogether; and to have the master's name mixed up with it is shameful !" The voice. beyond doubt, belongs to Graham. the upper-houscinaid, and is‘ full of honest indignation. llaritly believing she. has heard aright. and without. any thought of eaves-dropping, Georgie. stands still up- on the walk, and waits in breathless silence for what may come next: "Well, I think it is shameful,’ says another voice, easily recognized as be- longing to Andrews. “But I believe it is the truth for all that. leather saw him with his own eyes. It was late. but ‘ust as light as it IS now, and he saw im plain." 5 "Do you mean to tell me," says 'Gra- ham. with increasing wrath (she is an elderly woman. and has lived at Sartoris for many years). “that you really think your master had either hand, act, or part in inducing Ruth Annersley to leave her home ?" "\Vell, 1 only say. what father told me," says Andrevvs, in a half-apologetic .» fashion, being somewhat abashed by her anger. "And he ain't one to lie mucn. He saw him with her in the wood the night she went to Lunnun, or wherever ‘twas, and they walked together in the way to Langham Station. They do say, too, thatâ€"â€"-” . A quick light footstep, a pulling asule of branches. and Georgie, pale, but com- posed. appears before them. Andrews, losing his head, drops the knife he is holding, and Graham grows a fine pur-i ile. I “I don't think you are doing much‘ good here, Andrews," says Mrs. Bruns- combe, pleasantly. “These trees look well enou h; go to the eastern walk.’ and see w at can be done there." . Andrews, only too thankful for the chance of escape, picks up his knife and beats a hasty retreat.‘ I Then Georgie. turning to Graham, says. slowly.â€"- . "Now, tell me every word of it. from be inning to end." . er assumed unconsctousness has vanished. Every partical of color has flown from her face, her brow is con- tracted, her eyes are shining with a new and most unenviable brilliancy. Per- haps she knows this herself, as, after the first swift. glance at the woman on Andrew-3’s departure. she never lifts her eyes again, but keeps them deliber- ately fixed upon the ground during the entire interView. She speaks in a. low concentrated tone, but with firm com- pressed leS. . Graham’s feelings at this moment. would be im ible to describe. After- wardâ€"many months afterwardâ€"she herself ave some idea of them when she dec ared to the cook that she thought she should have "swooned right. off." ; “Oh. madam! .tell on what ?-" she.‘ says. now, in a terri led tone, shrink-I ing away from her mistress and turn-i ing deadly pale. . "You know what. you were speaking about just now when I came up." "It. was nothing. madam, only idle. goSSip, not worth~â€"" , "Do not cquivocate to me. You ' were speaking of Mr. Branscombc. Repeat your ‘idle gossip." I will have it. word for word. Do you hear I" She beats her foot with quick impatience against the ground. I ‘Do not compel me to repeat so vile a lie.” entreats Graham. earnestly. “It! is altogether false. Indeed, madam." 3â€"confusedly.â€""I cannot remember what it was we were saying when you came up to us so unexpectedly." g _“'l‘hen I shall refresh your memory. ’iou were talking of your master and- . and of that girl in the village whoâ€"â€"” , The words almost suffocate her; involâ€"‘ untarily she raises her hand to her; throat. "Go on." she says, in a low,, dangerous tone. Graham bursts into tears. "It. was the gardener at Hytheâ€"old. Andrewsâ€"who told it. to our man here." she sobs, painfully. “You know he. is his father, and he said he had seen the master in the copsewood the evening Ruth Annersley ran away." “He was in London that evening." “Yes, madam, we all know that.”, says the. woman, eagerly. “"hat. alone proves how false the whole story is. But i wicked people will talk, and it is wisei people only who will not give heed to them." "What led Andrews to believe it was your master t" She speaks in a. hard- constrained voice, and as one wno has. not heard a word of the preceding speech. In truth, she has not. listened to it. her whole mind being engrossed with this new and hateful thing that has fallen into her life. “He says he saw himâ€"that he knew him by his height, his figure. but sides: face. and the coat he wore.â€"a light: overcoat, such as the master gener-E ally uses." . ”And how does he explain away the fact ofâ€"of Mr: Branscombe’s being in town that. evening 3" _ At this question Graham unmistak-I ably hesitates before replying: When she does answer. it is With evident: re-t lpctance.

'Ihan follows an unbroken silence that lasts for several minutes and_nearly sends poor Graham out of.her mind. She can- not quite see her mistress’s face as it; IS turned carefully aside, but. the hand that is resting on a. stout branch of laurel near her is steady as the branch itself.

"And does all t 6 world know this? "I hope not, ina'am. I_thiiik not.

"0h, madam. do not. pay any atten- tion to such a wicked tale." she says, anxiously, No one knowing the master could [it s- .sibly believe in it." “Of course not." The answer comes with unnatural calmness from between her white lips. Graham bursts into fresh tears, and flings her apron over her head. ' l Mrs. Branscombe, at this. throws up her head hastily. almost baughtily. and, drawing her hand with a. swift move- ment across her averted eyes. breathes ' a deep lingering sigh. Then her .whole expression changes; and, com- ’ ing quite near to Graham, she lays hci‘ . hand lightly on her shoulder, and laughs lsoftly. . l Graham can hardly believe her cars; has that rippling, apparently unaffect- it-d laugh come. from the woman who a moment. since appeared all gloom and suppressed anger! told me," says Georgie, lightly. “dust at first. it rather surprised me, I conâ€" lfess, but nowâ€"now 1 can see the, ab- ;surdity of it.

But when she has gained the. house,‘ I I l and has gone tip to her own room. and lcarcfully locked her door. her assumed ‘caluiness deserts her._ She paces_ up {and down the floor like some chained ~creature, putting together bit, by bit the story just related to her. .Not for a moment does she doubt its truth; ‘some terrible fear is knocking at her "heart. some. dread that is despair and , that convinces her of the reality of An~ ldrews's relation. _ p .

If all the territory claiiiiâ€"‘ ed by the supreme ruler, who is called the Ni-gus Negiisti, King of Kings, is included, Abyssinia has an area of 2.11.000 square miles, and a population of 7,500,000. The inhabitants are of Coptic, Arabian, Jewish and Negro ex- traction, but. its rulers are of Arabian descent, and call themselves Ethiopi- ans.

To Be Continued. .. A NOVEL LAMP CHIMNEY. A novelty in the shape of a lamp chimney has appeared. It is made of some sixty or more strips of glass about eight inches in length and fastened at. the top and bottom with brass bands. The brass bands have holes into which the. glass fits. The strips are so close. together that when held up to the. light. there appears to be no space. be- tween them. The glass is elastic and bends at the touch. The. chimneys are intended for use. on lamps with lights so bright that they dazzle the eyes, you." he says. gayly. “Where on earth E such lights as are now protected by have you been hiding!

All that can be done is to devise ways of relievmg physical suf- fcringaind minds have assisted tender hearts in bringing aid to the. afflicted All the vast resources of nature‘s lab- oratory li-ive been pressed into ser- vice to the end that tortured Indies might surcx‘asc from anguish,and know the peace that only health can bring. And what more natural than that these poor victims of disease thus released from suffering should desire to aid in the. extension of the knowledge of the means whereby they have been bene- fitted? Such a. one is Miss Druscilla Shinglenr. of lirin. 0nt.. who tells a tale of am endured through weary years, an of final relief an cure throu h the use of Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills, t e greatest medicine of the age. Miss Shingler says: 'l‘welve years ago I became af- flicted with rheumatism. from which I have suffered greatly. Two years later this trouble was aggravated. by a growth which started in the throat. and which each year became larger and larger. until it finally became so bad that [could hardly obtain any sleep, as when I would lie down it Would fill my throat. causing a feeling of suffo- cation. \\'liat.

I lost the lxnver of my limbs and my hands got so bad that I could scarcely hold any-g At this stage. a friend. who from personal experience had strong faith in Dr. \Villianis' I’ink Pills, bought me a supply and urged me. to try them. I thought I felt. an .llll- proveiiient after I had used a little more lll‘lll a. box, and after using them for a few weeks there was no longer room to doubt that. they were helping t hing. : me. I was taking the Pink Pills in the , hope of finding relief from the rheuma- tism, but; to my great. joy 1 found that; the medicine was not only driving this painful malady from my system. but was also driving away the growth iii my throat. The. result was that after I had used about a dozen boxes of Pink Pills I was completely cured, and, al- though a. considerable elapsed. I have not had a recurrence of either trouble, and am enjoying the best of health. For the help my statement may be to others, I am only too glad. to add my testimony to the long list. of wonderful cures, such as mine, that. have been wrou rht by the use of Dr.“ \Villiams' Pink ’ills. This greatest of nineteenth century1 medicines positively cures all troubles arising from a disordered or weak state of the blood, or shattered nerves. If- you are feeling weak or depressed, Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills act as a prompt e tonic, and if seriously ill no of 1' re- medy can so promptly restore you to health and strength. Pills are put up in round wooden boxes. the wrapper round which bears the full ,t'rade mark, "Dr. \Villiaiiis' Pink Pills for Pale People."
