"Maude Remington !--yes," the doctor answered. "Where did you hear of her? My sister told you, I sur'opose. Yes, Maude is there. g. has lived with me ever since . mother died. You would have liked Matty, I think," and the doe- tor felt a glow of satisfaction in "having thus paid a tribute to the memory of his wife. The White jeweled hands were clasped together for a moment, and then Mziude Glendower questioned nlsie,u,f, fhe other one, Matty’s child arm his. Very tenderly the doctor talked of his unfortunate boy, tel- ling of his soft brown hair, his/an- gel face and dreamy eyes. "He is like Matty," the lady said, more to herself than her com- ipanion, who proceeded to speak of Nellie, as a paragon of loveliness and virtue. “I shan't like her, 1 know," the lady thought, "but the other two," how her heart bound- ed at the thoughts of folding them to her bosom. “Slams Kennedy, weeping that his mother was forgotten, had nothing to fear from Maude Glendower, for a child of Matty Remington was a sacred trust to her, and when as the doctor bade her good night, he ET! again, "You will find a great ontrast between your home and mine," she answered, "I shall be contented if Maude and Louis are there." "And Nellie too," the doctor ad- ded; unwilling that she should be overlooked. "You think your home is not a de- sirable one for life. Can't you fix it up a little? Are there two par- tors, and do the windows come to the froor? I hope your carriage horses are in good condition, for I am very fondof driving. Have 57011 a flower garden? I anticipate much pleasure im working among the plants. Oh, it will be sd cool and nice in the mummy. You have an ice-house of course.“ "Not at all," returned the doe- tof "Matty was blue-eyed and fair, while Maude is dark, and re- sembles her father, they say." "Yes, Nellie too,†the lady an- swered, the expression of her mouth indicating that Nellie too, was an object of indifference to her. He was frne-ltooking,--he stood well in the world,--he was rich while she Was poor. But not for this alone, had she promised to be his wife. To hold Maude Remington within her arms,. to look into her eyes, to call his daughter child, this was the strongest reason of them all. And wits it strange that when at last 55% slept, she was a girl again, looking across the college green to catch a glimpse, of one whose indifr ference had made her what she was, a seldish, scheming cold-heart- woman. here was another interview next swing. and then thc doctor left, rer. but. not until with her soft hand in his, and her shining eyes upon his face, she said to him, "But mineds so different," he said: "There are no silk curtains there, no carpets such as this------" "“Is Maude Remington there?" the lady asked, and in her large black eyes there was a dewy ten- derriess, as she pronounced that name. "Is Maude like hi-tmother?" lady asked; a deeper glow upon cheek, and the expression of facc evincing the interest she in the answer. _ a It becomes us not to tell how that strange wooing sped. Suffice it to Bay, that at the expiration of an hour Maude Glendower had prom- i§“d to be the wife of Dr. Kennedy, Mamba spring should come. “She had,humbled herself to say that she regretted her girlish freak, and he had fso far unbent his dignity as to s,,t,tt2lgit, he could not under- tand w t she should be willing to we the luxuries which surround- her and go with him, a plain, Old-fashioned man. Maude Glen- dower scorned to make him think lthab it was love which actuated her, and she replied, "Now that my giant is dead, I have no natural pro- tector. I am alone and want a home." The doctor is gone, his object is accomplighed, and at the Mansion $1156, near by, he sleeps quietly and well. But the lady, Maude Glendower, oh, who shall tell what bitter tears g) Lwept, or how in her inmost sl,."" she shrank front the man she huu chosen. And yet there was no- thing repulsive in him, she knew. "She had not changed at all," he said, and the admiring gaze he (bred upon her argued well for her buceess. Poor doctor'. Double CHAPTER hH.-(Cont'd) Maude De Vere; OR, THE NEW MISTRESS AT LAUREL HILL. oarlors the her her felt Mrs. Kelsey had changed her mind, and resolved to say nothing of an affair which she was sure would never prove to be serious, and the result showed the wisdom of her proceeding. No one spoke of Maude to J. C., for no one knew of her existence, and both Mrs. Kelsey and Nellie, whom he fre- quently met, scrupulously refrained from mentioning her name. At first he felt annoyed, and more than once was tempted to tell of his en- gagement, but as time wore on, and he became more and more interest- ed in city gaieties, he thought less frequently of the dark-eyed Maude, who, with fewer sources of amuse- ment, was each day thinking more and more of him. Still, he was sure he loved her, and one morning near tho middle of November, when he received a letter from her saying, was more than once closeted with Maude, to whom he confided his plan of improving the place, asking her if she thought the prohts of next year's crop of wheat and wool would meet the whole expense. Maude guessed at random that it would, and, as money in prospect seems not quite so valuable as money in hand, the doctor finally concluded to follow. out Maude Glendower’s - suggestions, and greatly to the surprise of the neigh- bors, the repairing process com- menced. The October sun had painted the forest trees with the gorgeous tints of autumn, and the November winds had changed them to a more sober hue. ere J. C. De Vere came again to Laurel Hill. Very regularly he wrote to Maude-kind, loving let- ters, which helped to cheer her so- litary life. Nellie still remained with Mrs. Kelsey, and though she had so far forgiven her stepsister as to write to her occasionally, she still cherished toward her a feeling of animosity for having stolen away her lover. “I am sometimes very lonely, and wish that you were here," he started up with his usual impetu- osity, and ere he was fully aware of his own intentions, he found him- self ticketed for Canandaigut, and the next morning Louis Kennedy, looking from his window, and watching the daily stage as it, came slowly up the hill, screamed out, “He’s come-heh, come!" A few moments more, and Maude wee/clasped in J. C.'s arms. Kiss- ing her forehead, her cheek, and her lips, he held her off and looked to see if she had _ changed. She had, and Fe knew it. Happiness and contentment are more certain beautifiers than the most powerful cosmetics, and under the combined effects of both Maude was greatly improved. She was happy in her engagement, happy in the increas- ed respect, it brought her from her friends, and happy, too, in the un- usual kindness of her stepfather. All this was manifest in her face, and for the first time in his life J. c, told her she was beautiful. you can learn a great deal ot her before the twentieth of June." Maude colored deepiy, thinking im- the f1rsb time in her lifodha-t pussibly J. C. mig:ht be ashamed of hcr, but his affectionate caresses scan drove all unpleasant impres- sions horn her mind, and the three. On his return to Rochester, J. C. De Vere had fully expected that his engagement would be the theme of every tongue, and he had pre- pared himself for the attack. How, then, was he surprised to find that no one had the least suspicion of it, though many joked him for hav- mg quarreled with Nellie, as they were sure he had done, by his not returning when fhe, did. low windows-ice-house, and flower garden-he had none-while the old carryall had long since ceased to do its duty, and its place was supplied by an open buggy, drawn by a, SOI'- rel nag. But Maude Glendower could do with him what Katy and Matty could not have done, and af- ter his return to Laurel Hill, he “If you only had mgre manner, and your clothes were fashionably made, you would far excel the city girls,†he said, a compliment which to Maude seemed rather equivocal. When he was there before, he had not presumed to criticize her style of dress, but he did so 110W, quoting the city belles, until, half in earnest, half in jest, Maude said to him, “If you think so much of fashion you ought not to marry a country girl." “Pshaw !†returned J. C. "I like you all the better for dressing as ya: please, and still I wish you could aequire'a little city polish, for I clon't care to have my wife the subject of remark. If Maude Glendower comes in the spring, CHA PTER eat deal of her XII The next day she was greatly com- forted by a long letter from James, who wrote occasionally, evincing so much interest in "Cousin Maude," that he always succeeded in male ing her cry, though why she could not tell, for his letters gave her more real satisfaction than did those of J. C., fraught as the lat- ter were with protestations of con- stancy and love. Slowly dragged the weeks, and the holidays were at hand, when she received a mes- sage from J. C., saying he could not possibly come as he had prom- ised. No reason was given for this change in his plan, and with a, sigh of disappointment, Maude turned to a letter from Nellie, received by the same mail. After dwelling at length upon the delightful_eime she was Having in the city, Nellie spoke of a fancy ball. to be given by her aunt during Christmas week. Mr. De Vere was to be Ivanhoe, she said, and she' to be Rowena. "You don't know," she wrote, "how interested J. C. is in the party. He really begins to appear more as he used to do. He has not forgotten you, though. for he said the other day you would make a, splendid Rebecca. It takes a dark person for that, I believe!†Maude knew the reason now why J. C. could not possibly come, and the week she had anticipated so much seemed dreary enough, noir. withstanding, it was enlivened by a box of oranges and figs from her betrothed, and a long, affectionate letter from James De Vere, "who spoke of the next Christmas,‘say- Eng he meant she should spend it at Hampton. _. days that he stayed with her passed rapidly away. He did not mention the will, but be questioned her of the five thousand which was to be hers on her eighteenth birthday, and vaguely hinted that he might need it to set himself up in busi- ness. He had made no arrange- ments for the future, he said, there was time enough in the spring, and promising to be with her again dur- ing the holidays, he left her quite uncertain as to whether she were glad he had visited her or not; IS THINNESS _ BMBARRABS1NG ? A scrawny, gangling youth or maiden is almost invariably slight- ed, overlooked or ridiculed in any social gathering. There is some- thing about a plump or well propor- tioned figure which attracts not oniy friendship, but love and adu lation as well. People with a proper amount of Bel, are favored in all walks of life, while the thin are unblessed, un- welcome and frequently miserable for life. The difference lies in the power of the digestive functions and the ability of the blood and nerves to absorb and distribute over the body the nutrition extracted from the food eaten. _ _ The thin person is abnormal and lacks the power to. absorb and re- tain the flesh and fat elements which the gastric juices in the sto- mach and intestines should extract or separate from all kinds of food and drink. T A recent accidental discovery has proven that tincture. cadomene when blended with certain other drugs, will add from ont to three pounds of flesh per week during treatment, while the general health and strength also improves wonderfully.

She will like you, I am sure, for she al- ways thinks as I do.†_ . After the holidays, J. C. paid a flsing visit to Laurel Hill,. where his presence caused quite as much pain as pleasure, so anxious he seemed to return. Rochester could not, well exist without him, one would suppose, from hearing him talk of the rides he planned, the surprise parties he.managed, and the] private theatricals of which he was the leader. J C. understood the hit, and dur- ing the remainder of his stay was far less (:gotistic‘l than he would otherwise have been. After his de- parture, there ensued an interval of quiet, which, as spring approached, was broken by the doctor's resum- i1.g the work of repairs, which had been suspended during the coldest weather., The partition between the parlor and the large square bedroom was removed; folding- dcors were made between; the win- dows were cut down; a carpet was bought to match the one which Maude had purchased the summer before; and then, when all was done, the doctor' was seized with a fir, of the blues, because it had cost so much. But he could afford to be extravagant for a wife like Maude Glendower, and trusting much to the wheat-crop and the wool, he started for Troy, about the ,middle of March, fully expect- ing to receive from the lady a de- cisive answer as to when she would make them both perfectly happy! "Do they pay you well for your services?†Louis asked him once, when wearying of the same old story. With a most winning smile upon her lip and a bewitching glance in her black eyes, Maude Glendower took his hand in hers, and begged for a little longer freedom. Tee (To be continued.)
