There had been bnt the briefest letters from Valeatine eithei to L»dy Belfield or to Adrian. He was at Monte Cvlo, and he intended to return ia time for the last of the hunting. This was all that was known aboat him, and now the season was nearly over, and he might be expected at any time. His roonu were ready, his horses fis, his own particular groom was on the look-ont for his return. It was a dull afternoon in February, and Helen was alone in the library, her lover's favourite room, the very sanctuary of his life, as it were â€" the place where he read, and thought, and played, and lived his own sacred inn r life, with which the rest of the household had little in common. It was Aot a conventional library â€" not a place of massive bookcases and regulation sets of books. It was half a mufiic-room, with an organ at the one end, and a grand- piano in the angle near the old fashioned nreplace. Adrian had inherited his mother's love of music, and played boch organ and piano. The books were chiefly of his own collecting, a library of modern hdhs lettres, in several languages. " You are so awfully learned," exclaimed Hel»n, after glancing at a shelf of German metaphysics. " Do you really, really read those dreadful books " " I have spent some thoughtful hours ^at way, love. I won't go so far as to say that I understand them." " Does anybody ' ' And then she would take out a volume of iviats or Wordsworth, and twirl its pages Tor a little while, and declare that the poetry was quite too lovely. " Which do you like best, Keats or Wordsworth " he asked. " I don't quite know," looking up at him with interrogative eyes, to see which of the two she ought to prefer. " They are both so sweet. Keats is delicious â€" bnt Words- worth is â€" Wordsworth â€" no, I cannot find the right word for him but I can feel his poetiy." Ana Adrian was content to accept this kind of thing, as the expression of a spirit- ual essence that had not been concentrated into speech. This afternoon, Helen had had the library all to herself since luncheon. Adrian had gone a long journey to Exeter, to look at a pair of horses which he had been advised to buy for his mother's barouche. The horses she was using were beginning to show signs rf wear. He was not expected back till dinner-time. Lady Belfield had complained of a headache after lunch, and had gone to her room to lie down. She had been hav- ing bad nights of late, and sorely wanted sleep. The cause of these wakeful nights was as far off as Monte Carlo. The mother had been full of anxiety about that way- ward younger son, whose prolonged absence might mean mischief of some kind. The afternoon was dull and cold, with occasional showers. Helen made up her mind to spend it indoors. She would amuse herself in that dear old room, free to peer and pry about like an inquisitive child. The delight ^of looking at things all by herself â€" cpening private drawers â€" turning over books and paipers â€" lasted about half an-hour.. Then she played the piano a lit- tle, trying first one piece and then another, never getting beyond a page cf any com- position before she was tripped up by a dif- ficulty, and turned the leaf in disgust. Wearying of this, she tried the organ, of which she could make nothing and then in a fit of disgust, she flew to the bell and rang it sharply. " It is miserably dull indoors," she said "I must get a good gallop." The butler appeared in the usual leisure- ly manner of a servant who itrnores any ill- bred impetuosity in the ringing of a bell, by being a little slower than usual in answer- ing it. ' WUl you ask Dodman to saddle a horse for me," she said " I should like Mr. Bel- field's last new ohestnat, if I can have him. "Yes, ma'am. Will you require Dodj man " " I shan't require him, but I suppose I shall be obliged to have him," said Helen. It was one of her grievance! that Adrian would not allow her to ride without a groom. She liked the sense of freedom, being ac- countable to no one for where she rode or what she did with her horse. She had heard a good ^deal about the chestnut hunter's evil propensities, and it was naturally on that account she wanted to ride him. Bat Dodman was not the kind of man to be caught napping and he knew that Sir Adrian would not put his future wife on an ill-disposed brute like the chestnut. So when Helen ran down to the hall in her habit and hat, eager for the fray, she found tiie pretty skewbald CindereUa saddled and ready in front of the porch. " Am I to ride that brute " she asked. It was the brute she generally rode with Adrian. "You don't find no fault with her, do yon, m»'am?" asked Dodman, immovable aa a rock. " No, except that she ia a sheep. I sent yon a message by Bellows. I wanted to ride the chestant." " You couldn't ride that 'oaa, ma'am. He's too much for any lady." ** He wonldo't be too much for me." "Ishonldbe very sorry to see yon on '*0h, yoa are much too carefnL Yon have spoiled Sir Adrian's riding and now I sappose yon want to spoil mine." Dodman was too superior a person to notioe tlus unworthy petnlanoe. He fiong the yonng lady into her saddle, and gave her the bridle witboat a. word, and then he monnted behind her and fdlowed her along theavenoe. She punished him for her disappointment by taUng (the skewbald over some of the w«n8t grrands in tiie n^ghbonrhood, and at a brealmeck pace. She did everything die oogfat not to have done in tlM conneM an hoar and a half of hard riding. Ik was six o'tSoek nim. she went ba£ to tiie Abbey. There wasaoood fixe in the UbEaiy, Ae tanr the red ligGfe ddniog thrsnsh tiw lat^ fioee, snd the flnUamned glMs of the upper maUioBl^ She WMoeld aftsrhar ride in the wind and rain, and she went to the lib- rary with the idea of enjoying herself for half an-hour in front of the burning logs._ She did not expect to see Adrian till din- ner- time, but to her surprise there he was, sitting in the low armchair by the hearth, figure and face both in shadow, as she ap- proached him. She stole tovards him on tiptoe, bent over the back cf his chair and kissed him. The kisi was returned with intorest. Two strong arms were thrown back to clasp and encircle her. .She was cinght and pin- ioned as she bent over the chair. But in the next instant she snatched her self back from those encircling arms, and drew back with an indignant exclamation, crimson with rage. "It is not Adrian," she said.. "How dare you? How dare you " A tall figure rose from the chair with a careless, easy movement, and stood before her, ereot. Taller and broader than Adrian's figure, strongerâ€" different somehow, and yet so like, so like â€" that it was difficult to believe that this was not Adrian himself. "How dare you," she muttered again, almost beside herself with anger; all her Irish blood boiling in her veins. " My dear yonng lady, you must allow me to observe that it was you who began the assault," said the stranger, with a most provokingly placid air, " That consideration ought at least to mitigate your wrath." " Toâ€" to kbrs me like that 1" He laughed at her rage, as if she had been an augry child. " Would you have a man's lips meet the lips of beauty as if he were kissing his laun- dress " he asked lightly. " Besides 1 had a right to kiss you â€" as your future brother." " No gentleman would have acted so," she said, still faming, her light riding whip vibrating in her tightly clenched hand. What would she have given to have horse- whipped him 1 There were women in the world who had done such things, "No gentleman! Perhaps not," said Valentine, "I have never prided myself upon that spurious conventional merit of be- ing a gentleman, to which every grocer's son aspires from his cradle. I would rather be a blackguard, and a man. I am a being of nerves and muscles, passions and im- pulses. Whether that kind of thing can be gentlemanlike, I don't know and don't care. Come, Helen, don't be angry. 'Twas no stranger who returned your kiss just now â€" but your lover's twin brother, who claims the right to love you. You cannot be greatly loved by him without being a little loved by me. We are two halves of one whole, and 1 am the stronger half. Yon. cannot be wax to him and marble to me melt at his touch and freeza at mine. Our natures are too closely interwoven. To love one of us is to love the other. Come Helen, forgive and be friends. " He held out his hand, and she could not refuse to give him her own. Bnt the little gloved hand lay supine in his strong clasp, and there was no such thing as pardon in her hert. "I have always heard that you are a very strange person," she said, "but as yon are Adrian's brother, I suppose we must be friends." And with this not over civU speech she left him to his reflections. He threw himself into the chair by the fire, stirred up the logs, and took oat his cigar case for a comfortable smoke before he went to his dressing-room. When the door was shut upon Helen â€" he had not troubled himself to open it for her â€" he laughed softly to himself. "As lovely as her namesake, and as spirited as Kate the curst," he muttered. "I like her ever so much better for that flash of temper. Upon my soul, Adrian has not made half a bad choice. I hardly gave him credit for such good taste. But then the girl was flung into his lap, as it were. No doubt Deverill came here of malice afore- thought, to plant his daughter upon my mother's son. Hark, there's the jart, and Adrian." Ue went out to the porch to receive his brother, who was almost overcome with de- light at seemg him. "My dear fellow, what ages you have been away. How glad my mother must be You have aeen her of course." "Not yet. I have only been here an hour came by the slow afternoon train from Exeter. They tsld memy mother was lying down, not over well, so I wouldn't have her disturoed. I've been sitting over the fire in the library, half aseep. I crossed the channel last night, and nave been travelling ever since." " And you have not seen Helen V ' " Oh, yes, I have. Helen and I have made friends already." He laughed a little as he spoke of her,and the light danced merrily in his eyes. He wondered whether aha would give her be- trothed a detailed acoonnt of their skirmish. The odda were against it, he thought. Wo- men are curiously ahy about trmes. She would lock the story up in her own heart, and always bear malice against him on ao- connt of it. " And you like herT" asked Adrian shyly. " There has been no time for liking, bnt I admire her hnmensely, and I oongratnlato you on yonr good luok. " " Yes, she is lovely, is she not T And as dear as she is lovely." "Clever and accomplished into the bar- gain, I suppose " " I donbt if yon would 3all her dther; yet she is the brightest and most f ascinatii^{ girl I ever met." " I sm glad she's not learned, or a ^pera- gon in the way of accomplishments. Every step that a woman travela in tiie road to mental psrfeotion is a iitep that leads away frmn feminine loveliness.

" My dearest, how oould you stay away so long " she asked, almost piteonaly. " A truant disposition, and the perversity of my favorite color. Never mind, mother.

The Mediterranean isn't all jam. But al- together the life suited aie. There were plenty of pretty women, bnt not one so pretty aa my future sister-in-law," he added in an undertone aa Helen entered, in an esthetic frock of pale blue cashmere, with short sleeves and a short waist and a baby- ish bodice whioh.set off herperfect shoulders and swan- like throat. She came into the room more slowly than her wont, and a sudden rosy flush swept over her face and neck as she drew near the spot where the two brothers were atanding. " Helen, let me introduce my other son," be?an Lady Belfield. " We are friends already," answered Va- lentine. " Are we not, Helen " " And will be more than friends â€" brother and sister, in the future, I hope," said his mother. "Amen to that sweet prayer. Come, mother, it is my privilege to take yon in to dinner to night," as the butler made his an- nouncement, " and I shall astonish you by the justice which a man who has ' been fed on kickshaws at a Monte Carlo hotel can do to your old-fashioned English fare-r-your in- evitable saddle of mutton and your elderly pbeasante. They went in to dinner, a snug little party of four. The room looked all the brighter for that fourth presence. Their triangular dinners had been marked of late by a gentle dulness. Lady Belfield was in high spirits, enrap- tured at the return of her younger bom, and Valentine was full of tolk about himself and his adventores, good luck and bad luck, toe people he had met, and the women with whom he had flirted. Helen was unusually silent, as if some- what oppressed by that exuberant gaiety. Valentine waa right in his surmise. Not one word did she aay to her betrothed, on that night or afterwards, about her skimush with Valentine in the library. (TO BE COinriNOED.) HEALTH. )â-  s^,-. An Oatward Bound Bridal Oonple.

"I can aaaure yon thatOertie delights in iniquities " And then there was a sudden rilence, and the colonel was just abont to vamp up a few new remarks about the weather when harmony was restored by the explanation of the younger Oreenapple.

A mixture of oharcoal and honey in the consistency of paste makes an admirable dentifrice. Eating and drinkuig very cold or very hot substances ia verv injurious, both to teeth and stomach. Sage tea is the best solution known to prev mt hair from falling out. Satorate the scalp with it every day. The right side should be the position chosen for sleep, as it aids both digestion and circulation of the blood. The teeth should be brushed after every meal, and the back toeth require more brushing than those in front. Cold food and drinks increase a tendency to cough and so should not be indulged in by people with bronchial affections. To prevent an bgrowing toe nail, cut or scrape a groove down the center and pare the ends off square. Never cut the sidea. Kerosene oil is a splendid remedy for croup, and children do not object to taking it. It must be used with caution, how- ever. The little dotted veils, so commonly worn by women, are a frightful source of eye diseases, and often of headache and dizziness as well. A new method of arresting a hemorrhage from extraction of teeth has been discover- ed. It is by a compress of plaster of Paris to the bleeding cavity. Provide a good sponge and crash towels for rubbing in the bath room, also a little corn meal in a dish, as many prefer meal to soap when washing the hands. The leaves of the horseshoe geranium ate said to be an excellent remedy for cute cr abrasions of the skin. Bruise one or two leaves and apply under a linen compress. Seltzer water is a .new remedy for bums and scalds, and is said to relieve the pain and accelerate the cure. The carbonic acid gas with which the water ia charged is the chief agent in effecting these good results. A prominent physician discourages the practice of putting children to bed directly after supper. He advises that they have a slight interval for exercise after the meal. He also advises that each child have a bed by itself. Ventilation is a provision of natore too often abased. Every sleepine room should have ite windows open an hour every morn- ing and all the bed clothing laid open to the air, where, if possible, the sun can shine on them. Chapped hands, arising from exposure to too sudden change of temperature while moist with perspiration may be cured with cold cream, lard, camphor ice or spermaceti ointment. Glycerine is frequently uf ed, but does not sgree with all people, and some- times only aggravates the inflammation. Amon^ antidotes for poisons ordinary mustBrdiB the best and cheapest emetic, and simple warm water is often effective. Medi- cal aid should be sought immediately in all cases of poisoning. When laudanum, chlo- roform, hydrate of chloral or other anaesthe- tic has been taken, care should be exercised to keep the patient from going to sleep. Little blocks of ice given to fever patiente are much more grateful than frequent drinks of water. The sufferer desires the cold to quench the burning fever, and the chill of cold water laste only while it remains in the mouth, while the effect of the ice remains much longer. Another advantage ot the ice ia that it melts into less thai ite frozen bulk and is much less likely to overioad a weak stomach than repeated draughte of water. Value of Eest. There ia no better preventive of nervous exhaustion than regular, unhurried muscu- lar exercise. If we could moderate our hurry, lesson our worry, and increase our open air exercise, a large proportion of nerv- ous diseases would be abolished. For those who can not get a sufficient holiday the best substitute is an occasional day in bed. Many whose nerves are constuitly strained in their daily vocation have discovered this for them- selves. A Spanuh merchant in Barcelona told his medical man that he always went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his buainesa, and he laughed at those who spent tiieir holidays on toilso ne mountains. One of the hardest working women in England, who has for many years conducted a large wholesale business, retains excellent nerves at an advanced age, owing, it Is believ- ed, to her halnt of taking one day a week in bed. If we can not avoid frequent agita- tion, we ought, it possible, to give the ner- vons ayatom time to recover iteelf between the shocks. Even an hour's seclusion after a good hinoh wUl de;prive a hurried, anxious day of much tA. ite injury. The nerves can often be overcome by stratagem when they refuse to be controlled by strength of wilL A Flea for the Invalid. The impulse to immediately visit a person who is ill has itp origin In kindness, and while often helpful in provincial localities is oc- casionaUy so in the city.
