But she never did this. She knew too well the result of such pleading. She knew upon what 'terms alone Crawshaw would con- sent to alter his present conduct, which arose as much from infuriat- .ed vanity as any other reason; an sooner than agree to those terms, she resolved to suffer a hundred- fold more than she was called upon to bear now. Even had he been a less pitiful, contemptible creature, she would never have permit herself to listen to his love. Love! It was such utter degradation to associate the word with such a man as Crawshaw! Would love have tormented and ruived her happiness as his cruel passion and revenge had done! Love is self-sacrificing, self-forgetting, self-abnegating. What claim could Thomas Craw- shaw lay to any one of these! She had been coerced into a mar- riage, she had accepted the sacri- | fice with all its attendant miseries. She had--so she imagined, poor child I--saved her uncle from shame, perhaps from death--there her task ended. Sooner than let this man touch her lips--the lips which Derry had kissed--she would have fallen dead at his feet. And Crawshaw knew this was no melodramatic, empty threat. There was an intensity, a quiet passion abou the girl as she uttered it 'which told him she meant every word. When he had realized this he had vowed to himself that, come what may, he would yet break her stubborn' will, her disgust and hat- red of himself, and bring her hum- bled at last to the dust at his feet. Only one gleam of pleasure came to Nancy out of all this grim dark- ness--the thought that her uncle was safe and happy. Yes, actually happy at last, for Dr. Grantley had written, telling her that he had heard from Henry Chaplin, giving pews of himself and his wife. The) latter was returning to England at once, but Nancy's uncle bad made erary men, who found 7his brain and information so useful that they had offered &im the post of secre tary to some society in Melbourne, which not only gave him a salary, but sent him into the seventh heav- en of delight. This letter had reached Nancy the very morning on which Derrick off for his the dogs; and having escaped Fenton's lynx eyes, she made her way to a quiet nook in nely woods to read it over and Ige in aimost the first faint ess she had felt for months.

What could this mean. but that the very small amount of liberty which she had hitherto been allowed was to be taken from her?

And certainly it seemed as if Miss Leicester's words were true, for the sick man was never so happy as when Darnley was sitting at his beside with Dorothy presiding at her old post. Dorothy, too, apparently, deriv- ed not only pleasure but health from her cousin's presence; her cheeks lost their wan look, her golden curls were no longer dis- hevelled, her pretty, dainty figure was fresh and trim, and matched her lovely face; indeed, every one irr the house declared Miss Dorothy to be her old self, and one and all united with the girl in delighting in Mr. Darnley's appearance; that is, all except Aunt Priscilla, Coun- tess of Merefield. To her Derry was nothing more nor less than an obstructionist. Why should he be here and Mere- field be away? wrong ! So opined Merefield's mother to herself, and as Mr. Darnley had an unpleasant habit of diving be- neath Lady Merefield's evangelical surface and exposing the very un- deniable worldliness that existed there, she may be forgiven for not altogether loving him.

He knew true meaning of all this solicitu part. "Perhaps she would not object so much to your taking a walk alone,"' he said. 'It is a certain in- dividual named Darnley whom she regards as being so undesirable a companion." Dorothy gave from her beautiful eyes. "Aunt Priscilla is a silly old thing !"' she said, irreverently. "No, she is only a mother." They were pacing down the aven- ue away from the Hall as Darnley said this. Dorothy Leicester colored faintly, but made no answer, and her cou- sin, having first asked her permis- sion, took out a cigarette and lit it. 'Aunt Priscilla is possessed of one desire,'"" he observed, as he flung away the match. "She wants to get me away from the Hall again."' ] Dorothy's cheeks flushed angrily. 'As she is not mistress here," she said, rearing her small head proud- ly, "her wishes are of very little concern." "Possibly." They walked on in silence for a few minutes. The raan's thoughts had gone to their only task now dwelling on Nancy--what she was doing, how it was faring with her, and if she had forgiven him his harsh words when they had part- ed, nearly ten days ago! Ten days !--it was more like ten long years!--and not once during that time had he even heard her name breathed by any living soul! At night, when all was still and quiet, he had stolen down into the damp, cold air, and paced to and fro, thinking of the girl whom he knew now to be lus own love--his very own--and ye! whom he must not even see or approach, for fear of dishonor and evil falling upon T.

It is a fact that most people who have passed the age of child-| ish sport stand in need of some form of definite exercise in order to keep their muscles down into the sluggish inactivity of | middle age, which brings so many | physical drawbacks in its train. Normal children exercise without being told to do so, because it is their nature to play, and play is the very best form of exercise, especi- ally if it takes place outdoors. But most of those who have passed from childhood do not keep supple and limber with play, and therefore it follows that they must, or should, do it with work. There are certain special exercis- es that are not attended to nearly enough. They are the movements of the neck and throat which con- trol the head movements. Any one can test this for himself by slowly turning the chin from shoulder to shoulder and back again. perform- from settling | nothing of the brain, which controls them all. The exercises should be resistant because twice as much can be done lin half the time with them. They are, in fact, exercise with an ap- paratus, only the apparatus is the muscles themselves, and they can be recommended for the purpose as both inexpensive and handy. -- Youth's Companion. LJ.
