Three days had gone and still Esther Brand hnd not arrived in London. Each day Dorothy got more and more impatient for her presence, because. although she had never once seen David Stevenson since that morning when she had almost walked into his arms in the Kensington High street, she was so afraid that he might be lurking about the neighborhood that she had never set foot outside her own door. if she had only known that he was safely down at Holmyd, dividing his life between riding hard from one point of the property to another, and sitting moodily staring into the empty fire. grate, his thoughts all busily occupied in cursing at fate! Howaver, that phase of feeling did not last long with him; for one fine September morning he went over to the Hall and wandered round the quiet old gardenâ€"a good deal of its especial charm of quaint beauty “im- proved” away nowâ€"where she had spent her happy childhood. y ;, ’ muttered David, and moved CHAPTER VII.

It was a beautiful ringâ€"diamond and sapphiresâ€"a ring fin for a princess. “Won’t; you have it. ?” he asked, in aur- priae, as she made no elforu to take it.” “Yes; if you will give is to me,” she answered.

He did not. say a word beside, did not attempt, to touch her, or act in any way different to his usual manner to her. except- ing. perhaps, that. he was less polite than ordinary custom considers necessary be- tween persons who are not bound together by ties of blood. .__ v .0. ........v But.

He could not tell what had become of his shipmates, whom .he left in the Siberian prison, but he believes he was the means of send- ing them all to the gallows by the stories he told about them while under hypnotic influence.

He pulled up just where the crowd was gathering, and Lord Aylmer was out of the cmrlage before Charles could collect his scattered senses sufficiently to get off the box. _ “ My God ! we are over some one !” shouted Lord Aylmer. He was the kind of man, who, on emergency, always appeals to the Deity, whom in all his ways of life be utterly and systemaucnlly ignores. “ Let me get out !” he cried. i' captive; the balloon soared away and dashed into the near horse’s face ; the child screamed at the loss of her boy ; the horse reared and plunged. Barker administered a. cut. of his whip, and the next moment, they were dashing down the road, and an elderly woman was lying helplessly in a. dead faint. just. where the carriage had passed. I As they got over the ground the “playful- i ness"of the horses did not subside ; indeed ion the contrary, it increased, and to such f an extent that by the time they turned into the Kennington High street they were me- ing along at express speed, with the evident ; intention of bolting as soon as they had a. ‘ chance. Barker, however, knew his work and did not. give them a chance at all, and by the time they reached the corner of the road for which they were bound, they were going steadily again.

" ’Usses is encllned to be playful to day,” he remarked. “They generally takecarégf themselves." said Charles, with a cynicism worth of his estimable master. This admirable plan was, however. dea- tined nevor to be carried curl-not. because Lord Aylmer changed hxs mind, not a bit of it 1 He carried out his part of it so far as to order his csrriage for a certain hour, and when that hour came to get into in and to give an order to Charles. “Where'to, m’lord 2" “Palace Mansions.” “An’ I believe,” murmured Charles to Barker, as they drove off. “that the old codzer’s done it, as last.

However, this morninz,u.fterhavingspeut many hours i reconnoitring the block of buildings called I Palace Mansions, after having driven ‘slowly up and down the High street, after making many more or less useless purchases in the High street shops, and after fretting ‘ his impatient old soul into a fever, he made up his mind that he would go boldly to the house, ask for “ Mrs. Harris,” claim a friendship with the departed Dick, and gradually work into a position of friendli- ness with the object of his present admira- tion. - But then, you see, he did not, and so I have a. longer story to tell you than I should have bad if all had gone smoothly and well with our young couple, and they had started their married lite at the tail of a marching regiment, on an increased allowance kindly given them by a. liberal and indulgent uncle. -..'.â€" ~. w-w- vuâ€" nu uv uuuu UGIIUVI -~â€"â€"â€" a To tell the truth plainly, Lord Aylmer had seen Dorothy with Dick, several months before he carried out the plan which had got his nephew safely out of the road, and had left him, as he believed, poor, conceited, deluded, old man, a fair field ; 1end, to tell the truth further and more plainly still, Lord Aylmer had fallen des- perately in love with her 1 So desperately that he had put himself under great obliga- tions to his old friend Barry Boynton. had set my lady’s suspicions working, and had made Dick detest him more than ever, in order that he might possibly be able by ‘ hook or by crook to gnd favor in Dorothy’s eyes.

To do him justice, he never for one mo- ment, suspected that his nephew and Mrs. Hattie were married. He imagined that the linble establishment was kept. up in a. way which is not an uncommon one in London, and that now Dick was safely packed off to India, he could go and make friends with the loveliest girl he had seen for many a day, withoqn any more difficulty than that of starting an acquaintance.

The recipe for creamed bacon is a pleasant change. Put some slices of bacon in a pen and set in the oven to bake until it is brown and crisp. Put them on a. hot plat- ter : add to the fat in the pen a table- epoonful of flour, stir until smooth, add gradually a cup and a half of milk and cook two minutes or until smooth. Pour over the bacon in the platter. A pretty fashion for marking your per- sonal linen is to use your favorite flower as a token of ownership in all your belongings of this sort. A single violetl rosebud or daisy embroidered on the corner ofu hand- kerchief is in better taste than a marking of black silk or indelible ink with the almost inevitable clumsy writing or an accompanying blot. Then, too, the flower device is quite a. fad. Rice water is one of the things recom- mended in washing challis. Allow one 1 pound of rice to five quarts of water; boil and set aside until it cools to the tepid point, then wash the goods and pour all the water, using the rice as you would use soup. Strain the water and rub the challi with the sediment, then rinse in the water that has been poured off and shake out the material well before hanging it up to dry. Notice that no clear water is used for rinsâ€" i ing, the rice water serving for that purpose to give. a modicum of stiffness. Have you tried cheese cloth curtains for summer when you need something airy and inexpensive? Pale pink, yellow, 0: blue if you like, can be draped in soft folds or ar- ranged with a valence ah the top by cutting it extra long for the space you have to fill, and decorating itâ€"«wherever you may fancy to catch it up in foldsâ€"with a large rosette of the material. It lends itself to graceful draping very readily. As for dailies and table mats, not only are they the fashion, but if not gotten up in too elaborate a manner for daily use, are quite an economical feature when it comes to keeping a dainty table with a saving in the laundering. A meat cloth and tray cloth are preferable to a. napkin for concealing or preventing unsightly spots. Any simple style of decoration to designate that the article is intended to be ornamental as well as useful, is all that is really necessary. An outline in washable silk of some good design involves but little labor. Some ladies, however, seem so fascinated by the pretty things produced by their needles that they indulge their fancy using lovely colors of silk, which, though guaranteed to stand washing, would certainly be ruined except by most care- ful handling. Cloths and mats may be fringed, but a worked edge cut out or a bemstitched or drawn border is newer. White satin jeans and white duck make excellent spluhers and toilet meta. White Roman floss with short and long stitch embroidery, either in a design of leaves or flowers as a. border, with the outer edges cut scallop fashion, or finished in any mim- ner individual taste may fancy. finds much favor as a suitable decoration.

Thus treated, the light tun will- be toned down into a neat anann brown. Pick-up work is the most suitable fancy work for warm weather. A new kind of spread is made of squares of blue linen embroidered in white flax and joined to- gether like a. patchwork quilt. These squares are so convenient for piazza. work that the odd moments devoted to them can scarcely be tiresome. By the Way. A handsome and durable tea-cloth can be made from two or three damask towels, which are comparatively inexpensive at present. Large tdwele are joined together with lace insertion, or insertion crocheted from linen thread, and finished on the edges with lace to match.
