But Miss Lindsay did not attempt to interfere in the houschold affairs after this, and made no comments on any failures which Laura sometimes committed. Laura, however, did her best to please both her husband and his father, and to study their tastes. She even tried to (learn . whist, though this was very wearisome to her. In fact, it was very dull at Red House, and Laura sometimes regretâ€" ted the struggling past. The social aspect of Suffold â€" was also not lively. Of course every one in the place remembered Laura Inâ€" gram, and the old major. her father. The major never went into company, hut somctimes Lavura had fone so. Therefore after her appearance . with George at the church, as bis bride, lllvt'l:os-jvnho had known in her girlâ€" hood and all the Giffords‘ _ friends and acquaintances called on her. hok ib onl Aund oras 1: She had known the vicar‘s family, for the vicar, a wellâ€"meaning â€" man, had done his best to be on good terms with his morose, reserved parâ€" ishioner, â€" Major Ingram. | But . the major himself had _ firmly | resisted any social intercourse. He nevor went to church, and he never went . into any house but his own. He, however, did not restrain Laura, and she had sometimes gone to partics at the vicar‘s, and the vicar‘s wife, a moâ€" therly woman. had been sorry . for the motherless girl. T . A dinner party was a serious affair to the: Brentwoods. They wore not rich. and so many had claims . on them for invitations. Still it was adâ€" visahle, and â€" therefore Mrs. Brentâ€" #ood and . har . AwÂ¥o .dawhtors kad hany consuttafne whom it woure be hest to ask to meet the oride. \trs. Magtorman â€" was a â€" sonsible voung woman. who had . married a mwan many vears her sonior. and a YEGETABLE meant mot widower with four "cbildren. Dui Lucy Brentwood knew very well she could not pick and choose. ‘The senâ€" for curate had chosen a lady for his wife who had five thousand pounds, and he wi&nted some one to loOok afâ€" ter his motheriess children.> ‘Thus it came about, and was in fact a muâ€" tual obligation. Lucy wanted a husâ€" band and a home; Mr. Masterman a marriage gave great satisfaction to Mr. and Mrs. Brentwood, and Lucy wcemed quite satisfied with her elder« ly curate. She had been born and bred at Suflold, and she knew by heart all the jealousies, the smaill cliques, and the petty ambitions of the place. She advised her mother in the first place to ask old Mrs. Lynton to meet Yrs. George Gifford. Old Mrs. Lynton was not wealthy, but she possessed superior advantages as reâ€" gards position to any one . in the town. Her husband had been a “t tain in the navy, and her only daug! ter had made what was considered a wonderfully good match. At_ a counâ€" try ball in the neighborhood, genial, ' jovial Sir Richard Danvers, a baroâ€" j uct, and a very rich man indeed, had scen and admired . Lucinda. Lynton, who was a handsome girl, and bad very shortly afterward proposed . to her. Sir Richard came of a Jong line of wealthy brewers, who had amassâ€" ed a vast fortune, and Sir Richard was said to have a hundred thouâ€" sand a year at the very least. It.! was a great change, therefore, to the fair Lucinda q go to Danvers Park and affiuence "Riter spending many years of her young life in . genteel poverty at Suffold. But to do Lady Danvers justice she bore her honors very â€" aréiably, _ Danvers Park _ is about twenty miles from Suffold, but Lady Danvers did not forget . her old mother, or her old friends. She used to stay a few days with her mother at times, and she always on these occasions called on the vicar‘s family, and had more than once inâ€" vited them to the magnificent counâ€" tryâ€"seat which was now her home. Therefore Mrs. Lynton ° and. her daughter, Lady Danvers, were im great repute at the vicarage. They spoke of Lady Danvers habitually as "dear Lady Danvers," and accordâ€" ingly they decided to invite â€" Mrs. Lynton to meet Mrs.‘George Gifford, the bride, : They had first secured Laura and Gcorge, helore they proâ€" recded to invite their other friends, thus showing both prudence and good gense, as a dinner party was a thing of great consideration in the limited vicarage household. * MYr: and M#sS: €Grge Gifford hay tig duly accepted the invitation, . Mrs. Lynton wasâ€"then asked; and imagine their delight when anote arrived from her telling them that her "dear â€" daughter, Lady _ Danvers,"‘ would be with her for a few days at the very time of the dinner party, and asking if she might _ accompany The __whole familyâ€"of theâ€"Brentâ€" woods was actuallyâ€"uplifted~ at the idea of entertaining Lady. Danvers. liut Mrs. Brentwood, who was a pruâ€" dent, woman, advised ~them not to say anything about it in the: town until her ladyship had really . dined at the .vicarage. ‘"Something might happen to prevent her coming, . you know, my dears," sheâ€" said; ‘"and you know also how spiterul people are; they might say we had just inâ€" vented the whole thing," "You are quite right, â€" mother," answered Mrs. Masterman; ‘"I never saw such spiteful peopleâ€"as there are here. Did I tell you that I was told that Dorothy White said 1 never left William alone till I got him."‘ "‘Never mind, my dear,‘" . replied Mrs. Brentwood, with a benign maâ€" ternal smile mantling her face as she looked at her daughter; ‘"you did get him. and that perhaps made Dorothy a little jealous ‘‘ & is Wh;cii ;[mcinv greatly comforted the senior curate‘s wife. & _ Anna Lindsay was not invited to dine at the vicarage on the 30th day of September, and she felt this to be a great slight. She had dined there before Laura came to Red . House,‘ when her uncle and cousin were goâ€" ing, but she was. left out now, and this added not a little to her anger and bitterness against the bride. ‘ But poor Mrs. Brentwood had not theâ€"least ~idea of~ hurting her â€" feelâ€" ings, or . slighting her in any way. She was obliged to do the ‘best she could for her vicar and her family, and important parishioners were to be considered before a middleâ€"aged lady of no importance. Proper attention had been paid to the Gifford family when a dinner party had been made expressly _ for the bride and bridegroom, and Mrs. Urentwood could only do what she could with her small means. Thore was Mr. Hay, the managet of the bank where ber son Was A clork, and an unmarricd man, with a comfortable house above the . bank, all ready for a wile, as it wore. Mrs. Brentwood had still a darghter to marry, and Jane Brentwood would be a vory suitable wife for Mr. Hay, her mother reflected. © Therefore Mr. Hay received an invitation . for . the 30th. Then there was the junior curâ€" ate, a tall, dark, closeâ€"sbhaven young parson. also a suitable husband for .lane, though heâ€"deciared he was not parson. aiso a SWIANIG MMBNMM TT .lane, though heâ€"declared he was not a marrving man. and that marriage should not be for the priests of the church. _ Mrs. Brontwood, however, did not approve of this doctrine, and . thought it savored of Rome. But he might change his mind; young men often had fads, and there was; no saving what might happen, thought Mrs. NDrentwood, so the closclyâ€"shayâ€". en funtor curats was asked also. The doctor‘s family, too. was to be conâ€" sifered. to whoin she and the, vicar owed three dinners, and so on. She conld "only dine sixteon," as she horâ€" solf expressed it, in her small dinâ€" ingâ€"rsom, so she did what she could, and invited those she thought were of the most use, or might be of use, to ber husband and children. M last the important day arrived , and Mrs. Brentwhod‘s arrangements did credit to herself and her davughâ€" tora‘ good management. . The hired cook know _ her business, and the hired waiters theirs.

George did so smilingly. "I am so glad to know you,‘" said Lady Danvers, rising and taking Laura‘s hand. ‘‘I hear you are an author. I love authors; my greatest ambition is to be one.‘* "You could be, I am sure, if you pleased, . Lady Panvers,‘"" . answered Laura. "I don‘t know; I have all the wish, perhaps the feclings, to be one, but I lack the power of describing these feclings so that they may touch other people‘s hearts.

But, ah, here comes the vicar. We must have a long chat after dinner, Mrs. Gifford." The portly form of the vicar had by this time approached the little group, and murmuring _ something about the honor of escorting Lady Danvers in to dinner, he offered her his arm, which Lady Danvers took smilingly. It had been originally fixed that the host had to take in the bride, but of course this was not to be thought of in the presence of Lady Vanvers. _ Thercefore George was reâ€" quested to (-sczt;;-;â€"hlrs.

He was pleased to see Lady Danvers talking to his wife, and he joined in the conâ€" versation _ which suddenly became commonplace too.

Nothing further was said, and they went about their business for the rest of the day. Twentyâ€"four hours later, once more at â€" breaklast the second man said : "How d‘you know it was not a bull?" Again no comment. Again a pause of 34 Hours, Next morning the firs man began to pack up his "pilly" and "swag." : *‘You going?" inquired the other. | â€" t*Yes." i# n“vhy?n "Because," said his friend, ‘"there‘s too muchâ€"â€"argument in this camp." â€"Kansas City Star. WHERE SILENCE IS GOLDEN JUST WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD Remedyâ€"at hand Teady for instant use,] Attacks of colic, cholera morbus and diarrhoea come on so suddenly that: there is no time to hunt a doctor or go to the store for medicine. Mr.â€"Barâ€" ber says : "I have tried Chamberlain‘s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoca Remedy which is one of the best medicines 1 ever saw. I keep a bottle of it in my room, as I have had several attacks of colic and it has proved to be the best medicine 1 ever used. Sold by all druggists. 5 . Mr. J. T.

A. Will anybody ever forget the struggle: which gave the meet to Waterlooâ€"to say nothing about the time there was at that meet ? Or who will ever fail to reâ€" member the mad rush made by Chatâ€" ham to secure the coveted galhering, which cost the young city over $25,â€" 000 ° But the times have changed. Wheeling. as a sport bas, alas, â€" gone out of date. Secretary Howson said in his annuâ€" al report at the C. W. A. meeting the other day : ‘"The wheel is used in our cities to as large an extent as evet, but as a means of â€"utility ~only; ~the clubs have disappeared. _ Club runs are talked of around the fireside as a relic of the glorious past, although a few enthusiastic members of some of the old clubs still take a Saturday to Monday run for the sake of old times, and it is still among the posâ€" sibilities that a revival of the old social bicycle club may take place when the fads at present in vogue in the sporting worldé have run the gamâ€" ut and been retired to the shelf, as the majority of sports do in ordéer." And he was quite justified in adding this to his predictions of a revival of the decadent sport, which many will pray to see verified. ‘"‘The great work the C. W. A. did in past years in the cause of good roads has borne fruit, and is now being pushed forward ~by larger institutions, such as the proâ€" vincial governments and municipalitâ€" jesg, and Canada is Tecling the result of the seed sown by us in the closing years of the century." "I wish," concludes the secretary, "for the C.W.A. every suceess and hope we may always continue to exâ€" ist as the oldest sporting organizaâ€" tion in Canada." SBLUM HUMOR A C.
