After the ï¬rst few days of absolute danger, during which he had been tolerably submissive, Mr. Hunt- ingdon had desired that he should be kept informed of all matters connected with on important law suit of his at present pend. ing; and during the tedious weeks of con- valescence Maurice Trafford cattied the daily report to Belgravu House. It seemed as though fate was conspiring against him ; every day he saw Nee, and every day her presence grew more perilously sweet to him. ,,,4,__A_ I-.. r She had a thousand innocent pretext: for: detaining him, little girlish coquetries which she did not employ in vein.

CHAPTER IX. It was one afternoon“ and they Were together in the drswing-room. Maurice had come lute that day, and: violent storm had set in. and Mr. Huntingdon had sent down word that Mr. Tnfford had better wait until it wag over. To do Mr. Hunting- don justice. he had no idea his daughter was in the house; she had gone cut to luncheon, and he had not heard of her return. ‘ Day by dsy those stolen momentobecamo more perilous in their sweetness ; 3nd one morning Nea woke up to the conviction that Maurice Tmfl'ord loved her. that he was everything to her. and that she would rather die than live without. him. He was telling her afloat his father: only death. and of the sweet-heed mother who had not long survived him; of his own struggles and poverty, 0! hit lonely lilo. his effort: to follow his parente‘ example.

But Mom-lye did none of these things; he won young and weak; the temptation was too powerful; he stsyed, listened, and was lost. Ah 2 the sngels must have wept thst dsy over Msuricu'sfsll, sud Nos’s victory. She told him who: he knew alreedy, thet Mr. Huntingdon would turn him out of his ofï¬ce ; that he would oppress her cruelly ; that he would probably take ‘her obrood. or condemn her to sohtude, until she had Bromiled to give him up opd merry Lord ertie. Could he leeve her to her {other’e tender mercies, or Abandon her to that other lover ? and she wept so passionotely as she said this that I stronger men than Maurice must have felt his strength waver.

There was léss pain and fever relapses; and when Dr. Ainslie proposed tho: his stient should spend the rest. of the spring 111 the south of pg‘mnce, Mr. Huntingdou consented withom demur. They were to be away some months. Mr. Huntingdon informed Han, and extend their tour to Switzerland and the Italian Tyrol. Lord Bertie had promised to join them at Fan in a. month or so, and here her father looked at her with a smile. They could get the trousseau in Paris. Nea must make up her mind to accept him before they started ; there must be no more delay or Bhilly-ahallying ; the thing had already hung ï¬re too long. Lord Bertie had been compIaiuingthat he was not fairly treated. and more to PM same purpose. Nee. listened in perfect silence. Hut it was well that her “the: could not. see her face. Present] she rose and said that he was tired an must talk no more, for Mr. Trafl'ord would be here directly ; and then she made some pretext for leaving the room. 7‘ And so one morning It Mr Huntin don was lining by the open Mndow wstc ing the children Eng" in the Mny sunshine, und wondering w is dug hter hnd no: been to wish him good morning.

As he took her in his arms, and asked her why she looked so pale and strange, she clung to him almost convulsively, and implored him to save her. Maurice was as pale as she long before ï¬lm had ï¬nished ; the crisis had come. and he must either lose her or tempt his fate. Again he tried to reason with her. to be lrue to himself and her; but N ea would not give him up or let him tell her lather. She would marry Maurice at once if he wmhed it ; yea. perhaps that would be the wisest plan. Her father would never give his consent. but when it wastoolate to prevent it he might be induced to forgive their marriage. It was very wrong, she knew. but it would be the only way to free her from Lord Bertie. Her father would be terribly angry, but his enger would not last; she was his only child, and he had never denied her anything. A few hours Tm would calm down. and then he would send the corriogo for her; ond there would be a a no of penitence and reconciliation. Net ted it all in slaving colors. but Mourice shook his head with o and smile. ond begged her not to deceive herself.

They had planned it all ; in three weeks time they Were to be married. Mr. Hunt- ingdon could notieave before then. On the day before that ï¬xed for the journey. the bond was to be sealed and signed between them, so that no power of man could part them. Mr. Huntingdon might storm ever so loudly, his anger would breuk against an adumantine fete. “ Those whom God hes joined together no man can put asunder"-â€" words of snared terror and responsibility. _ The next three weeks ware very trouialed ones to Mam-ice; his brief interviews withNes were followed by hours of bitter misgiving.

I cannot vouch for the following, which has just struck my eye in a daily paper. but. if it is true, the workmen were sound in their_ ghyaiplogy: _ - . - _ “ A lot of woodchoppers who worked for Mr. S-â€"-â€"- in IIâ€"â€"-â€"~ stop work the other day. and sent a spo esmen to their employer, who said that the men were satisï¬ed with their wages and most other things, but didn't like ‘your fresh meat; that's too fancy, and hain’t got strength intojit.’|Mr. 8â€"» gave them salt pork three times a day, and peace at once resumed its sway.†The use of oily and fatty foods in arctic regions is explained by the great potential energy of fat. 9. pound of which is equal to over two pounds of protein or starch. I have been greatly surprised to see. on look- ing into the matter, how commonly and largely the fatter kinds of meat are used by men engaged in very hard labor. Men in trainin for athletic contests. as oars- men ena ootbell teams, eat large quanti- ties of r “at. I have often queried why so much fat heel is used. and especially why mutton is often recommended in preference to beef for training diet. Both the beef and the mutton are rich in protein, which makes muscle. Mutton has the advantege of containing more fat along with the rotein, and henna more potential energy. ’erhaps this is another case in which experience has led to practice, the real grounds for which have later been expieined by scientiï¬c rcsearch.-â€"I’rof.
