To the loving mother no expense is too great, no labor too severe, if it will preserve the health of her little ones. Childish ills are generally «imple, but so light is baby‘s hold on life that it is often a knowledge of the right thing to do that turns the tide at a crisis. And in baby‘s illâ€" ness every crisis is a critical one. "I think thg timely use of Baby‘s Own Tablets would save many a dear little life,"" writes Mrs. P. B. Bickâ€" ford, of (Glen Sutton, Que. "I _ take pleasure in certifying to the merits of these Tablets, as 1 have found them a sure and reliable remedy.

I left King‘s Cross by the nine o‘clock train that night, having deâ€" cided on this course suddeniy, when I found I was in too restless a mood to be able to get either sleep or entertainment in London. Arriving at Aberdeen at 2.15 on the followâ€" ing afternoon, I caught the thrse o‘clock train to Ballater, and got to Larkhall before six. It was quite dark by that time, and the lamp was shining throweh the blind of the sittingâ€"room window at the cotâ€" tage. I knocked at the door, which was opened by Babiole; she held a candle in her left hand and by its light I saw her eyes and cheeks were burning with excitement. hibA o A0h s 1 d 41 M ... ca i BB 14 sc we backed the same horses and loved the same ladies. He insisted on taking me into the Carliton, where I met some more of the old set, who _ all seemed glad to see me, but with whom I now felt curâ€" lously out of sympathy. It was not so much that my politics _ had veered round, as that, living an inâ€" dependent and isolated iifs, I was not bound to hold fast to traditions and prejudices, like these men who were in the thick of the fight. I bad gone itrlto the club seeking disâ€" traction from my thoughts, trying to reawaken my old sympathies. 1 went out again after an hour of animated _ and fr:endly talk with my acauaintances of _ eight years ago, more solitary, more isolated than ever. Yet when they had tried to persuade me to come back to life again, being all of opinion that existence by one‘s self in the Highâ€" lands was tantamount to a state of suspended animation, I had anâ€" swered it was not unlikely that I might do so. For the game must be carried on stili when Babiole was maurried , but not with the old rules. I had another interview with Faâ€" bian that evening, for we dined at the Criterion together. It was arâ€" ranged that he should spend Christâ€" mas at Larkhall with me, and it was tacitly understood that he would wse this opportunity of _ assuring Miss Ellmer that her image had never been absent from his mind, and that he could have no rest until she had promised to become his wile at an early date. looked upon them as two distinct persons, and I remained for a few momerts confounded by my exceedâ€" Ing astonishment, when a familiar voice cried, "Hallo, Maude!" and I founrd my hand in the grasp of an important looking ‘gentleman, who as a slim lad, had been one of my constant companions. He now reâ€" presented a small Midland town in Parliament in the Conservative inâ€" terest, seemed amazed that I had not heard of his speech in favor of increasing the incomes of bishops, amd confided to me his hopes of getâ€" ting an appointment in the Foreign Office when "his party" cams into power again. I said I hoped he would, but I inwardly desired that it might not be a post of great responsibilâ€" ity, for 1 found my friend addleâ€" patted to an extent I had never dreamed of in the old days, when radimit dW o turtaiap it 2 t Wds 1 dve years had brought about in my old acquaintances. i1 had long ago lost acute sensitiveness about my â€" own altered _ appearance; there was so vyery little In common between the "Handsome Harry" of twentyâ€"four and the scarred grayâ€"haired backâ€" woolsman of thirtyâ€"two, that I o 1 found myself wandering about my old haunts, glancing up at the windows of clubs of which I had once been a member, and feeling a strong desire to enter their doors once more, :ulg see what change eight Here Mrs. Elimer rushed out of the So 1 found SAVE THE BABVY. ‘"Don‘t be afraid," she said, shakâ€" ing her head with that farâ€"off look in her eyes which told plainly that she saw into a life that could not be lived on earth ; "you think I am roâ€" mantic, fanciful; that I expect more from this man than his love can ever give me. Oh, but you don‘t know," and she looked straight up into my face, with that piercing dreamy earnestness that made her see, not the yearning tenderness of â€" the eyes into _ which she looked, but only _ the kind guardian‘s mind to be convinced. ‘‘*You don‘t know how well I underâ€" astand. He would never have thought of me again if you had not gone to "My child," I whispered back, "don‘t thank me. It hurts me, for I am not sure that I am not bringing upon you a great and terrible misfortune." Babiole was standing by the door : she was watching me affectionately, and had evidently some private and particular communication to make to me, by the imvatience with which she rattled the doorâ€"handle. At last I had shaken hands with Mrs. Elimer and had got out into the passage. The girl shut the room door quickly and threw herself upon my arm, givâ€" ing at last free rein to hor exciteâ€" ment and passionate gratitude. The gaze of her pure eyes, shining not with earthly passion, but with the ecstatic light of a dying _ saint, who sees the heavens opening to receive him, struck a new fear into my heart. The happiness this childâ€"woman looked for was someâ€" thing which Fabian Scott, artist though he was. with splondid aspirâ€" atlions â€" and â€" chivalrous â€" devotlions, would not even undersiand. As she poured forth soft whispering thanks for my goodnessâ€"she knew it was all my doing, she said.; she had, even guessed beforehard what I was goâ€" ing to doâ€"I felt my eyes grow moist and my voice husky. +99 | "Don‘t ask, Mr. Maude," interruptâ€" | ed her mother. "I‘m sure you would | have felt flattered if you _ could ; have seen her.

"Wil you have some quince jnarmaâ€" lade, Mr. Maude ?" she asked, as she came back to the table with a little glass dish in. her hant. And she leased over my shoulder to help me to the preserve, _ while her mother, who had guessed with great glee the name of my Christâ€" mas visitor, was â€" still overflowing with exultation at the great news. For she did not once doubt the obâ€" jlect of his coming, which, indeed, I had suggested by a delicate archâ€" ness in which I took some pride. Short!y after tea I rose to go, beâ€" ing tired out with my two ripid and sleepless journeys. Mrs. Elimer bade me goodâ€"night with kind concern for my fatigue. "Indeed, I don‘t think _ travelling agrees with you, or else you tried to do too much in your short visit. for you look drawn, and worn, and ill, and ten years older than when you started," she said solicitouslyv. She got up quickly and opened the slidoboard, as if looking for someâ€" thing ; buit I think, from the attiâ€" tude of her bent head, and from the solemn peace that was on her face when she returned to us, that she had followed her firsi impulse _ to breathe a silent thanksgiving to God. "Yes, I‘m getting too old for dissiâ€" pation,"* 1 said, lightly. "Oh, no, she has given up all such childish amusements as that." said Mrs. Ellmer rather sadly. _ "There woiuld never be so much as a laugh to be heard in the place now if I didn‘t keep np my spirits." "Well, she must open her mouth now, at any rate. Now, Babiole, can yow guess who it is who is coming to spend Christmas with us ?" In an instant the strained exprosâ€" sion left her face, a great light flashâ€" ed into her eyes, and seemed to irâ€" radite every feature. "I think you have guessed," said I gently. "Well," said Mrs. Ellmor, "that is an idea, to be sure. I confess I have been eaten up with wonder at your suddenly going off like that, and have been gwessing myself quite silly as to the reason of it." "And did Babiole gwess too °" I askâ€" ed lightly, looking at the girl, who sat very quietly with her eyes fixed nvpon my face. "Well," said I. "leading such soliâ€" tary lives as we do up here, of course the absence of one person makes a great difference. In fact, my own solitude has begun to prey upon me so much, thatâ€"that I rushed up to London on purpose to try to find a friend to spend Christmas up here, and make things livelier for us all." Babiole hung her head; she may have bluched, poor child, but her cheeks had becem so hot and burning ever «inco my entrance, that â€" no deepening of their color could _ be noticed. _ I concluded that she had given no hint to her mother of her surmises concerning the object for my journey. sittingâ€"roum, fell upon me, and inâ€" fisted upon my sitting down to tea with them. "And how have you been since I le!t.?" 1 said to the girl. When Fabiaa left us at the end of a fortnight, it was settlsd that the wedding was to take place in élx weeks‘ time at Newcastle.

Mrs. Ellâ€" mer burst Into tears on my informing her of the allowance I proposed to make to her daughter, and sobbed out hysterically, " My own child to be able to keep a carriage! Oh! if poor mamma could have known!" This announcement, when made to Babiole by her mother, was the one I thought it wise to try to calm down this exultation of feeling, by certain gramimotherly platiâ€" tudes about the difficulties _ of married life, the disiliusions ona had to suffer, the forbearance one had to show, to all of which she lisâ€" tened very submissiveiy and well, but with an evident conviction that she krew quite as much about the matter as I did. Then I bade her good night, and she stood in the porch, wrapt up in her plaid, until I had reached my own door, for I heard her clear yourg voice sing out a last "good night" as I went in. Poor little girl! She could not know how her gratitude cut me to the heart. * She took my sympathy with her for granted now, and poured this confession cout to me quite simply, feeling sure that I understood, as inâ€" deed I did, to my cost.

CHAPTER XVIIL It was in the month of March that I came back to England and put up at the Bedfora Hotel, Covent GGarden. Fabian and his wife lived in a flat at Bayswater, the address of which I had taken care to obâ€" tain. Although I was much excited at the thought of seeing them, I was by no means anxious to antlâ€" cipate the meeting, which I had deâ€" cided should not take place until But my philosophy had weak points which I was soon abruptly to disgâ€" cover. 1 was out of England altogether for four years, during which, among other little expeditions, 1 traversed America from _ the southernâ€"most point of Terra del Fuego to the lamd of the Eskimes. I heard nothing _ of Babiole or her husband, nor did 1 mauke any efforts to hear anything about them, being of opinion that a man and his wife settle down to life together best without any of that outside interferâ€" ence which it is â€"» difficult for those &hu love them to withhold, when ey see things going amiss with the young household at the end of four years, I had said to myself, they will have oblain‘«l a rudimentary know!lâ€" edge of each other‘s character. Babt iole will be a woman and â€" will no longer see the reflex of the divinity in any man ; the experiment of marâ€" rlage will be in â€" working order, and one will be able to judge the results. 1 had not forgotten them, indeed I had thought of them continually. I had taken care that Babiole‘s allowance was regularly paid ; but my second sentimental disâ€" appointment having found me some sort 0f a misanthrope, had cured me of my misanthropy ; and a freer inâ€" tercourse with men and women, and a particular study of much married rouples as Imet convinced me that the mutual attraction of man and woman towards each other is so great that merely negative â€" qualiâ€" ties in the one sex count as virtues in the eyes of the other, and that a husband and wife who will only abstain from â€" bring actively _ disâ€" agreenble to one another are in a fair way towards attaining a genâ€" tle putual enthusiasm â€" which will make the grayest of iuman lives seem fair. Now Babiole could never be actively _ disagreeable to anyâ€" body, and surely not even a disapâ€" pointed artist, and no artist is so disappolnted as he who is all but the most successfu!, could be activeâ€" ly disagreeable to Babiole. ; wBo was getting old, and who felt inclined for the cheap charity of disâ€" charging her servant and taking the active and industrious little woman to live with her. Mrs. Ellimer was to take care of Taâ€"ta till my return. Outside the dour Ferguson met me with my old portmanteau ready on a cab. In five minutes I was off on my travels again. When I could get away, I bade farewell to Mrs. Ellimer, who touched my peart by crying over my deâ€" parture. She had made artangements to stay in Newcastle with an aunt a great personage with a Monteâ€" Christoâ€"like habit 0o: dowering marâ€" rlageable maidens, was forced to reâ€" main, _ I made a spoech, I forget what about, which was received with laughter and enthusiasm. The only thiegs I remember about the people were the strong impression of dull and commonplace _ provinelialism which their speech and manner made upon me, and that on the other hand a little quiet maiden of seventeen or so, who wore a very rusty frock and was awkwarily shy, astonished me by quoting Tacltus in the original and prcveg to be quite an appallingly learned person. Tle bride and bridegroom left us early, more, I think, because Fablan found breakiast and speeches heavy, than because there was any need to hurry for the train. I having no such excuse, and being treated as She had been married in her trayâ€" elling dress, an innovation â€" rather alarming to Newcastle ; but she lookâ€" ed so pretty in her first silk gown â€"a dark brownâ€"and in the _ lJong wedding preseut, that I think some of the damsels at the break{fast deâ€" cided that this fashion was one to be followed. I gave her away next morning, in the old church with its crowned tower, which they now call n catheâ€" dral. I think perhaps she guessed something _ more than 1 would have bac her know in the vestry when the _ service was over, when 1 asked her for a kiss and feil aâ€"trembling as _ she granted it ; at any rate she turned very white and grave in the midst of her happiness, and thenceforth dropped her voice to a haumvle hallâ€" g‘hlsper whenever she spoke to me. Just on the threshold of womanhood, that trying period when the whole system is undergoing a comâ€" plete change, many a girl falls a victim of chlorosis, or green sickness. Her disposition changes and she beâ€" comes morose, despondent and melancholy. The appetite is changeable, digestion imperfect and weariness and fatigue are experienced on the slightest exertion. Blondes become pallid, waxy and pully, brunettes become muddy and greyish in color, with bluish black rings under the eyes. & Examination shows a remarkable decrease in the quality of the blood. lIron and such other restoratives as are admirably combined in Dr. Chasge‘s Nerve Food are demanded by the system.

While waiting for his samples (sllrerware) he had a call from another man, who said he was to show up at the number where my iInformant had hung out his shingle, and on comparing notes they found that each had been played in the same way. Each had been engaged at a big salary to appoint agents, etc.; each had gone as directed to Toronto, and each had been requested to send the deposit, and had _ confidingly comp.ied.

The woman with gentlemanly feelâ€" ings is the exception rather than the rule. You probably find her in every country, but you undoubtedly do in America more than anywhere clse. The reason is not far to seck.

To my mind, the ideal woman is a hybrid creature gifted with the best attributes of womanhL:ood and s:me of the highest qualifications of manâ€" hood ; it is a beautiui woman, beautiâ€" ful in the face and form, possessing all the qualities of a perfect gentleâ€" mand» (To be Continued.) fork ATm Washington Irving‘s Effort at Depiotâ€" ing Him. _ More than filty years ago Washâ€" Ington Irving gave us a skotch of John Bulil, one paragraph of which is, I think, worth reproducing at thoe present time: "Though really a goodâ€"hcarted, goodâ€"tempered _ old {fellow at bottom, yet he is singularâ€" ly fond of being in the midst of conâ€" tootion. _ It is one of his peculiariâ€" this, however, that he only relâ€" ishos the beginning of an al{ray ; he always goos into a fight with alacâ€" rity, but comes out of it grumbling even when victorious ; and though no one fights with more obstinacy . to carry a contested point, yet, when the battle is over and he comes to the reconciliation, he is so _ much taken up with the mere shaking of hanmdis that he is apt to let his anâ€" tagonist pocket all that they have been quarrelling about.
