"Always was. Ours was one of the best bands in the army. By George, you could bhear ‘em 1iwo miles off." "Wae‘ll have some tea first," he said; then he looked at Elaine, and with a slight bow and a smile, drew one of the antique velvet chairs up to the carved table on which the service had been set. mI;{x-igiw's'mNed and turned to the organ, but the marquis touched his arim. "Alas! there is no lady of the house to serve you, Miss Delaine," he said, "and so we beg you to have pity on us.‘" 6 The marguis stood beside her, and having hagnded the major a cup, came back for one for Luigi, but Elaine had got up and carried one across to the organ before he could do so. " Thank you, Nairnc," said the Italâ€" lan in his soft voice. Then he looked up quickly. "It is not Nairne. It isâ€"ah, thauk you.

"Auny more, Luigi ?" es " Please. It is very good. It is beter than @wrhen you make it, Nairne." ~ The marquis laughed shortly. " That is a little too broad a comâ€" pliment even for an Italian, Luigi," he said with pleasant cynicism. " I wish you could see Miss Delaine‘s blush." " An«d I, too, wish I could," he reâ€" sponded. _ "Fub ty The major sat bolt upright with his cup in hbhis hand, feeling, if the truth must be told, rather out of the business ; but he looked from one to the other with his most genial smile, as if they were a set of chilâ€" dren playing at some fanciful game. And all the time Elaine, as she bent over the costly rervice, wwas thinkâ€" ing wonderingly whether there could be two Marquises of Nairne, and whether this one, who was so courâ€" teous to her and so gentle with his blind dependent, could be, not the wicked marquis of whom she had alâ€" ways heard, but the other one!

He began to playâ€"just as one beâ€" gins to talkâ€"quite easily, as if he were putting into words his own thoughts and theirs, and _ Elaine learned back and listencd, _ and gradually there stole over her a strange fascination. She had heard good music at the Barefield concerts, but nothing like this, ani it seer.ed to her as if a spell werve being woven about her; as if she "I can truly say that had it not been for Baby‘s Own Tablets, I do not believe my baby would have been alive toâ€"day." So writes Mrs. Aibert Luddington, of St. Mary‘s River, N. 8., and she adds : "He is now growing nicely ; is good natured, and is getâ€" ting fat.‘"‘ It is gratilying :to know that in all parts of Canada Baby‘s Own â€" Tablets are proving a real blessing to children and a boon to mothers.

And yoet all the time she felt rather than saw the tall form of the marâ€" quis, as ho leaned against the back of one of the high chairs beside her. Presently, as the power of the music grew more strongly on her, she was conscious that his eyes were fixed on her, and though she tried to keep her own downcast, she felt constrained to raise them. Sho did so reluctantly, half fearâ€" fully. and their eyes met in a long, steady gaze, beneath which she knew that she was growing pale. It was almost with reliel that sho heard the music change into a louder and loss spellâ€"weaving tone, and withdrow her eyes suddenly, her hand grasping tho edge of the table as if in search of some support. The marquis seemed also to awake from the fascination, for he let the tilted chair fall back into its place, and walked toward the window. _ Tho strains of melody died away into silence, and for a moment no one spoke. 5 e It was the majorâ€"the major who didn‘t understand it in the least and who infinitely preferred _ the brayviug of a military band â€" who broke the silence. . "Thank you. Thank you _ very much, â€" Misterâ€"erâ€"erâ€"Sankey. _ Adâ€" m‘rable, admirable. Eh, Elaine ? Realâ€" ly admirable." Elaine rose and went softly to the musician, who sat with bowed head asg if ho had lost the sense of hearâ€" ing with the last notes of hi= music, and timidly put her hand on his, which still rested on the keys. Ho looked up with a start. "Thank you, lady," he said in a rery low voice. He appreciated the silent touch. "Play again," she said. She had almost forgotten the marquis, who stood, his back to the window, lookâ€" ing at the pair. 44. "Ah, yes; but something _ more cheerful, shall it be?" said Luigi, amdl he sent the chords of a festival song dancing about the gallery. Then he stopped swddenly, just as the maâ€" jor was beginning to enjoy himself and beat time with his feet. "That will do," he said. "And now, will you do something for me?" "I9" she said wonderingly. Ho nodded and smiled, his face turnâ€" ed to hers. "Sing something for me." Elaine shrank. "I sing to you!" she said. "M me and the marquis, and the good major, your father," he reâ€" sponded. "Do not say ‘*No‘â€"â€"" "Certainly not!" cut in the major ; "Elaine would not be so ungrateful.

Here is a plan worth trying : Taking into account their power to cure,. Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills are the most economical medicing, without excepâ€" / tion. These pills have effected cures in cases of rheumatism, partial parâ€" alysis, St. Vitus dance, indigestion, kidney trouble, anaemia, and other serious diseases of the blood and nerves. They have cured hundreds of cases where ordinary mudicine had been tried and faiies. ‘They have reâ€" stored heipiless invaiids to full use of limbs that had locg been powerloss. That is the best guarantee that these pilis wili not «disappoiut wuen used for similar aliments. â€" Taking one pill after each meal (as required for minor troubles), a filtyâ€"cent box of pilis gives nearly two weeks‘ treatment. â€" For chronic diseases, when the larger dose is required, the cost of treatment does not usually exceed fifty cents a week. I you are sick or ailing, is it not worth your while to give so effective a medicine as Dr. Wiliiams‘ Pink Pills a trial? What the pills have done for other people, they can do for you. Every dose makes the new. rich red blood that brings robust health and strength. They are the best tonic medicine to take at this time of the year, when the blood is sluggish and impoverished. f » Do not waste money on ordinary medicines, or substifutes; see that the full name, "Dr. Wiiliams‘ Pink Pilis for Pale People" is printed on the wrapper around each box.

Withersâ€"Proposei to you, {To be Continued.) ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO nere ©99 By William Ballantyne. Chicago, in Scottish American. There is a very curious afterâ€"marâ€" rlage custom at Dunmow, Essex. It was established in the year 1104. The original document ruons: "That he which repents him not of his marriage either eating, sleeping, walking, in a year and a day, may lawfuily go to Dunmow in Essex and fetch a gammon of hacon." He had to take oath to that effect. The couple were then carried through the town on a chair on men‘s shoulâ€" ders, while all the friends, brethâ€" ren, townsfolkâ€"young and old, male and femaleâ€"made shouts and acâ€" clamation. The bacon was borne beâ€" fore them on a pole. ‘The oath, acâ€" cording to the ancient custom, had to hbe taken kneeling, on two great stones near the church door. The bacon was then delivered to the couple. A year and a day was the period marricd _ when accordâ€" ing to custom the flitch might be claimed, provided the parties could swear and proved they had _ lived the whole of that time in true conâ€" jugal love. This very ancient cusâ€" tom has been revived of late years, and is carried out in all its details lwlth as much merriment as ever. In England, hefore the time _ of Pope Innocent the Third (1195), there was no marriage solemnized in churches. When a man fancied a womhan he went to the _ house where she resided and led her to his own home. This was all that was required of the ceremony of the marriage. The priesis tried to preâ€" vent all such, unions, and to preâ€" vent them the Church commanded banns to be provizimed in the church before the whole congregation, and no marriage was to be lawlful unâ€" less performed by the priest. Unâ€" lawful marriages continued, bhowâ€" ever, In London thousands were married without proclamation . of banns. In 1686 the rector (Adam Elliott), of St. James‘, Duke Place, married hundreds without bhanns or license and was suspended there‘or. A cynical writer of the period says; "Some give part of a sheep and othâ€" er men able to take a purse of money with which he buys a parcel _ of dates and puts to the sea. . ‘That is to say, he fturnishes a house, proâ€" vides a fine suit of clothes, goes to Duke Place, and marries, and _ emâ€" barks on the troublous sea of matâ€" _rimony. C But Fleet Street Prison was the : notorious marriage place at one time. Ministers _ imprisoned__ for debt thore married â€" thousands â€" of couples, for filthy lucre‘s sake nndi galn. In «ome cases tavern keepâ€" ers kept a parson on their .estabâ€" Uiskment at a salary of 208. weekly to marty their customers; in fact, this was a way to draw customeots, as fAli who desirad could be married on ‘thke «pot. . May Fair was another of thelike resort, "Free and Easy" was the motto of both places. . Parâ€" liamont passed a law, in 1754, proâ€" hibiting _ irregular â€" marriages in England under penalty of traneâ€" portation. _A iminister, named Wilâ€" kineon, and his curate, were . both sentenced to banishmont for marâ€" ryinz persons without proclamation of banns and license. traudesman Took Aa curious wAay OL dieposing of Lis eleven daughters in marriage. MHe gave eack of them for a dowry on their wedding day tleie weight in _ halfpence. The ligtost of them woeighed fiflty pounds, lwo «sliilings and sizpence.

They never {fail to atterd, and bring with them contribution to the feastâ€"chickens, geese, sheep and hogs. It is considerâ€" ed lucky to carry salt in the pocket. This was always done by the groom and the bride, to ensure luck. _ If any one would manage 1o take the bride‘s shoe off the groom had to ransom it. About the year 1770 a London trudesman took a curious way of In Guernsey, when & young man offered himsel{ to a young woman and war accepted, the parents of the couple gave a feast, inviting all friends.

Could Not T urn Over in Bedâ€"Kidneys and Claddor Affected â€"Experienced CGreat Sufferingsâ€"Cured by The old people especially appreciâ€" ate the effectiveness of Dr. Chase‘s Kidnoyâ€"Liver Pills, because the kidâ€" reys are usually the first of the bodâ€" ily organs to give out, and tho reâ€" sult is backache, lumbago, pains in the side and limbs, urinary disorâ€" ders and constipation. MIA meanle learn to trust in Dr. VECEERE . Emm s EO CCCE Old people learn to trust in Dr. Chase‘s Kidneyâ€"Liver Pills, for when wil other treatments fail this great medicine seems to go directly to the diseased part, and promptly affords relief and cure. Mr. David Miscner, Farmer, an old and respected resident of Port Robâ€" inson, Welland County, Ont., writes: "I wish to state to you that I had miin in my@back and joft side for Pains in the Back For Twenty Years pain in mysback and jloft side for over twenty m’ .m act turn m‘ii bai.

In this way they may court for years after this ceremony. If the man altere his mind the woman cans demand half his property; and if the fickle fair one whould repent the unforâ€" tunate swain can demand the baif of her‘s. As France lies close by, I will deâ€" scribe two very interesting cusâ€" toms at some French marriages in« the country listrict. One is, whes a poor couple agree to marry, five peasant girls of their acquaintance dress themselves in their best and: from among the assembliel guests beg assistance for the young cou= ple. The first girl holds a distafft and a e«pindiec, which she presents. to each one of the company, and: gings a song, telling how the bride Lag no hemp to spin. When her son@ ends the second girl receives the: offerings produced by this appeal in‘ the huseband‘s drinking cup. . ThÂ¥ third girl pours out a «Jraught of wine, which she offers to each conâ€" tributor. The fourth girl carries ai napkin, with which she wipes t: mouth of each guest after hisdrt and this lipâ€"cleaning prepares the‘ way for the fifth girl‘s performâ€"« ance. This part is always done by. the prettiest of the five. It is toi kiss all the men who have givem‘ something to help the housekeepâ€" ing of the young folk. In another part of Franceâ€"the provinco of Rrittanyâ€"survives one of the most touching marriago cae toms I havo ever come acrows. ‘The bridegroom and his frien\s go to the bridge‘s house in search. they say, of a procious jowel. _ An old woman is bhought out.

Next a widow, then a marâ€" ried woman, and afterwards one of the bridesmaids are brought; but none of theim suit. At last comes the bride, arrayed io all her wedâ€" ding finery, her dark eyes glancing, cheeks flushing, lips smiling. "This is my jewel," he exclaims, and he takes her hand in his, and breathes a prayer amid her sobs and tears When the procession is about to move ther mother cuts the end off the brido‘s sash and says ; . "The tie that hath so long united ma to my child is henceforth rent asunder, and I am compelied to yield to another the authority which God gare me over her.
