They were to spend their boneymoon there, and they bad left Dover by that night‘s steamer. As the night grew darker and the red lights of the signals passed more quickly she fell into a deep, trouâ€" bled slumber. Her husband looked with exultant pride at the marvelâ€" lous face with its exquisite beauty. He was glad that she slept ; it wovuld rest her, and would help to while the hours away. He tried to sleep, but it was impossible. He was exâ€" ultant, triumphant ; he had won the only thing wanting to complete the happiness of his life. His heart hunâ€" gered as he looked at the graceful ligure of his wife. He noted with pride and pleasure how the handâ€" some traveliing dress became her swoeet loveliness. "The folly of that lawyer to imâ€" agine that such a <roman as this was born to live in a place like Lilford. His year‘s income would not find her a decent dress. He will recognize his mistake whon he sees Lady Cheveâ€" nix." It was strangze that no feeling of pity for his rival or remorsa for his own behavior crossod his mind. Ho did not seem even to underâ€" stand that ho had done a dishonâ€" orable thing. He had outwitted nnother man, and he was delighted. Then hesaw the face that he was watching grow paler in sieep. Sudâ€" denly his yoursg wife awoke, with a loud cry. He saw hor look at both her hands, while her white lips trembled. "What is it, YViolet ?" he asked. "A dream,"* she replied, shudderâ€" ing. "Only a dream." "Very horrid things they are, ton, sometimes," he said. "What â€" did you dream ®" _ â€" y . C She was still looking at her hand, rubbing the softly tinted gloves as thouzh she would fain rub someâ€" thing from them. She was too conâ€" fused to be quick at invention. "What did you dream?"* he reâ€" peatedâ€"and there was a certain sharpness in his voice. _ * â€""I thought that I held a human beart in my hand, and that it was bleeding," she repiled. T But sleep had gone from Violet ; she watched the skies until mornâ€" ing dawned, and more than once, alâ€" though she was Lady Chevenix . of Garswood, one ol the wealthiest woâ€" men of Engl@nd, she wished that it were all undons, and that she was Violet Haye again. "That would do for a sensation novel, YViolet," he said, laughing. "You have something better than a heart in your handâ€"you have _ a diamond ring on your finger worth two hundred pounds, and you have a â€" wedding â€" ring that makes you Lady Chevenix. Go to sleep again, On that same night Lady Maude and Lord Arlington talked long and earnestly. She told him the story that she bad beard, and asked him for help. He thought long over it. "I know of one way in which I can help him, Mavde," he said ; "but that will â€" require â€" consideration." Then he said a few words in a low Â¥oice. she clasped her hands. "Will you do that, papa?" she inâ€" terrogated. "That would be one of the grandest things in the world.

There was great excitement in | the town of Lilford. As one man| said to another, they might always expect something strange when the | earl came bhome; but this was stranger than all. The carl‘s ten-l ants, andâ€" every man in Lilford| with whom he did business of any | kind, received an invitation to dlne! with the earl at the Bramber Arms. | The Bramber Arms was the chief hotel is Lilford. It boasted of a large assembly â€" room, where the county balls and the hunt balls were all given. It was the very stronghoid and fortress ol the arâ€" istocracy of the neighborhood, and its resources were wonderful. ‘The dinner to the tenants was to be served in tim assembly room. Peoâ€" ple called it a rentâ€"dinner, such as the earl gonerally gavye to his tenâ€" ants once a year; but they agreed that there was something more in it than that, or why were so many bidden who were not tenants? Why were the aoctors, the vicar, and every other person with whom the earl Lac â€" any â€" business â€" relations asked, anc many more _ besides? The carl, it was remarked, rode or drove tkrough Lilford almost every day, and ho was sure each day to give three or four invita~ tions.

Then, together, father and son enâ€" tereci the assonxbly room where the grand banquret was laid.

"I ax «@delighted to see you, Mr. Losasdals," he said, warmly. But Darey Lonxlale, looking into the earl‘s face, said : \ " My â€" lord, before _ I take rdvantago of your kindness, let me ask you il you have heard my storyâ€"if you have heard that I have have been charged with influencing one of my clients to leave me money?" o "Have you heard that a Jury of my own countrymen found me guilty and that my fellowâ€"townsmanâ€"the _ old friends and neighbors whom I have spent all my life amongâ€"in their own minds they found me guilty too, and have shown their opinion, most _ of them, by withdrawing their business business from meâ€"the old friends I loved and served, my lord?" The earl took his hand again. "I have heard it, Mr. Lonsdale, and regret it. I am glad to have _this chancee of saying publicly that I disâ€" believe all that has been said about your guilt, and am proud to take the hand of an bonest, injured man." â€"-‘â€"'Yevs,- I bave heard it," repied the earl. â€""I thank you, my lord," returned Darcy Lonsdale. o His wonder increasod when the earl, turning to him, said; "Your place, Mr. Lonsdale, is at my right hand.." ‘The lawyer looked at h‘m in amazeâ€" ment. .

"Yes, at my right hand," he said; "and after dinner you will know the reason w hy." e 0 . y ”\‘\"-gr:lévr-n'fié at this, Darcy Lonsdalo took his seat. * n â€"" Your son will sit next to you," said Lord Arloington. "I shall want him as well.". o en ie hige _ Mr. Lonasdlale saw the looks wonder from all the gentlem>n sembled. 5 d EW TT mIMETET TT TTUV e h Silence, deep and impressive, fell over them ; when the earl spoke in the tone that ho did he meant someâ€" thing. ‘There was not the faintest sound when fhe began. “"‘"'-lr‘fxic‘_»" are rot accustomed to see me so honored," ho. said to himsel, bitterly. Te s w s maeee t ols EoC Cmy i Then the grand banqust began, and it was one long remcmbered in Lilâ€" ford, because of its grandeur and costliness ; those who partook of it @oscribed it in fow wordsâ€"it was worthy of the carl who gave it. It came to a close at last, and the earl ordered some more wine. " I shall have a toast to propose presently, gentlemen,‘ he said, " for whith I shall want brimming glasses. Refore giving it, however, I have a few words to say to you." _ es of "Gentlemen, old friends and neighâ€" bors, I may say, there has been an injustice dore. among you which I bave asked you here toâ€"day to set straight. Understand me plainly, as an Englishman, I uphold the legal Institutions el my country. I bow my head to tne decision of a judge. I listen with respect to the verdict a[f a jury. But, gentlemen, human laws, just because they are Quman and now divine, most at times err; and I &ay they «Yred when they proncureâ€" ed a man honest, industrious, and honorable as my‘ friend Darey Lonseâ€" dale as capable of i§!luencing a woâ€" man to leave him her money. Gentleâ€" men, the judge who gave sentence against himm was a stranger to him, and the jury who decided in favor ol the heir at law did not know him. But you know him; he hbas lived among you all his life, he has served you to the best of his knowledge, and not one among you, man, woman, or child, can say that he has ever spoken a false word or done a mean or underhand deed. He has always been an industrious, honâ€" est and generousâ€"one of those men who make the very backbone of old Englandâ€"a loyal subject, a spiritâ€" ed townsman, a true friend, a devoted husband, a kind father. He has spent his life among you, and not one of you can say that you have ever known him to do wrong. If you can, speak." _ " You are right, my lord. Not one among us has ever known him to do wrong." o " I am eure not," doclared the earl. " Now, mind what Isay. With the jury and the judge who thought James Hardman entitled to Elizabeth Hardman‘s money, and who really believel that Darcy Lonsdale had wrongfully used his great influence with her, I have nothing 4o do. They did their duty honestly, even if mistakenly. To you who constituted yourselves jadgo and juryâ€"to you who, knowing the man and his charâ€" acter, judgod him yourselves as gui‘ty â€"to you I wish to speak. I believo him to be innocent. 1 havo read careâ€" fully since my, return every word of the trial; and Isay before you all, in the most emphatic words that I can use, that I believe him to be innoâ€" cent, and, what is more, to be a deeply injured man."‘ _ There was a dead slienee which lasted for some moments, and then a voice said; t He was obliged to stop, for there rose from the lips of the men who had misjudged Darcy Lonsdale, who had shunned him, who had withdrawn their business from him, who had nev‘er been heard in Lilford. Perâ€" halt broken his honest heart by their conduct, a cheer such as had haps in their Bearts they had never quite believed _ him guilt:v. Porhaps the earl‘s noble words touchâ€" od them with compunction and reâ€" grot. Something appealed to them, and they chcoered until the walls of the Rramber Arms shook again. _ "We are agreed then, gentlemen," said the earl. "Our old friend and fellowâ€"townsman is an honest, honâ€" orable gentleman." They cheered again and again. It was with some difficulty that the earl could make himsel{ heard. At last silence was restored, and then e continued : f "We can never make up to him for all that h«, has suffered ; we can not give him back the strength, the nope, the happiness he has lost,; we can not atone for the wretched hours, the sleepless rights and the weary daysâ€"all that is beyond us,. But I bavo thought of a pan by which we may aid him, and I want the close attention of every gentleman preâ€" sent while I propose it." The earl paused for one moment, and thoss seated at his hospitable table dooked earnestly at him; thore was still deeper silence when ho began to speak again. "There is no sccrecy in England. Everything done in the country is as open as the sea that surrounds it. Our newspapers ventilate everyâ€" thing, and in one sense that is quite right ; but in a case like this it is hard. Throughout the length and breadth of England men have read how Darcy Lonsdalo‘s case went against him, and how he lost the money left to him. I want something else to go through the length and breadth of the land; I want people to read how Darcy Lonsdale‘s friends and townsmenâ€"myseli at the headâ€" met and expressed their sympathy with him, and that they presented hi with a fAandsome testimonial to show their full confiderce _ in him and to make up for his loss. That tesâ€" timonial I propose to head myself with five hundred pounds, and I venâ€" ture to say thore will not be a noâ€" bleman or gontleman in the counâ€" try who will not add his name to the list." ASEpa n Cheers again arose. Nevor had the Bramber Arms heard such _ cheers. Darey Lonsdale‘s face had grown deathly pale; but for the strong arm of his son thrown around him he would have fallen. I wil." Then, unable to say Any more, he sat dowar. Dr. Hunter was the first to leave his place and shake hands with him. "I never believed one word of the story, Mr. Lonedale," he said, "alâ€" though I confess that I have avoidâ€" ed you. Will you shake hands and let the past be past ?" After that the guests went up to the lawyer one by one and shook his band. Some frankly avowed that they had misjudged him, some begâ€" ged his pardon. Some said that they had gone with the many ; but every man present wished him well and Godspeed in his new life. . i .x ‘The speech worth hearing when that scene had passedâ€"when justice had been done to an injared iman, when Benco had beon madJe ~~ was when Dr. Hunter stood up to proâ€" pose Lord Arlington‘s health. Never was a toast so received ; for there is nothing, after all, which touches an Englishman‘s heart sooner than defence of the weak, love of justice, and generosity. It was the most successful evening ever known, and it did an immense doal of good. Thers was not & man prosent who Cid not learn a lesson from the earlâ€"who did not resolve in hie heart to bo more mercifel, more pitiful, more charitableâ€"who did not say to himsclf that he would be more careful in ju@ging another time. And it was a strange thing that, when they came to compare notes, there was not & rman among them who had really bclieved the lawyor guilty ; they had gone only with what thoy thought was public opinion. One had reémoved his busiâ€" noss from the o‘fice because another one cdid, one had avoided Darey Lone«â€" éailo bocause another did. But the ecarl had taught them a lesson which wont home to each heart. Indoor Confinement in Winter Hard t on the Health, Ninetyâ€"nine people out of every hunâ€" dred actually need a tonic during the spring months, and the hundredth perâ€" son would make no mistake if he too infused a little extr« vigor and power into his blood. The reason for this conâ€" dition is quite apparent. _ In the desire to make Canadian houses warm during the winter months, ventilation is sacâ€" rificed, and the health is impaired. There may be rothing seriously . wrong â€" nothing more than a variable appetite; little pimples or eruptions of the skin; a feeling of weariness and a desire to avoid exertion; perhaps an occasional headache. These may not seem seriâ€" ous; perhaps you may think that the trouble will pass awayâ€"but it won‘t, unless you drive it out by putting the blood right with a healthâ€"giving tonic. And there is only one bloodâ€"renewing, healthâ€"giving, nerveâ€"restoring _tonic â€" Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills for Pale Peoâ€" ple. Over and over again it has been proved that these pills cure when other medicines fail, and thousands of grateful people testify that they _ are the best of all spring medicines. Miss D. Brown, Collina, N. B., says: "I have used Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills for a run down system, and have found _ them better than any other medicine I have tried. In the early spring my blood was out of condition and I had such dizzy §pells that if I turned quickly I would almost fall. I took Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills for a few weeks and the trouble entirely disappeared. I think these pills an ideal spring medicine." If you want to be healthy in spring don‘t‘ dose your system | with harsh griping purgatives, and don‘t experiâ€" ment with other soâ€"called tonics,.
