"Trouble?" he echoed absently. "There Isn't any trouble, Natalie. Yon arc giving way to some foolish fancy, my little girl." 'I hope so, Doane. I hope it Is only that, But" and there was a sharper thrill In the low, sweet voice "I have thought some times, of late, that perhaps ou were be- ctnnlni; to regret nnr nnirnr.i.innni. mid Ioughtto rclcaseyou from it. For ou know, Doane, I am only a poor girl, whllo you are the richest "Natalie!" llo had been listening to her iu a bewil dered sort of way, his . handsome brown eyes staring down upon tho graceful llttlo figure leaning against the gate upon the sweet, fair face lifted to his with such a troub'ed, pleading look In the big gray eyes, as if he scarcely understood what she had been Irving to say; but now, with a sudden movement, he caught her lu his arms aud drow her closely to his heart. xsatalle, what foolish, wicked things aro jou saying, child?" ho exclaimed, with passionate vehemence. "You shall not re- leaso me from iny engagement I won't be released; and jou must never dream of ut tering such a horrible threat again. You are to be ray wife. Nat I belong to yon, and" with an odd, fitful llttlo laugh- rcinrriiber this, little clrl, you must nevet give up to any other." There was something In the deep, Im passioned accents of his voice which sound ed almost like a prayer, and the girl looked up wonderingly into the handsome face beut so close to hers. "Do you love me eo well, Doane?" she asked, the old happy light coming back to tue origin gray eyes, and the gay, winsome smites, so long absent trom it, playing once moro over the fair, pretty face. "Yes. I do love you, Natalie," he an:- wercd, very earnestly, as he kissed the eweet Hps. "I havf given yon the truest, purest love of ray life. You must never doubt that, dear." Nat gave the promise willingly enough, It was so sweet to have the clouds which, for a few weeks past, bad hovered over the sunshine of her love, swept away by the truth and tenderness which she read unerringly In her lover's handsome face.

"Would to Heaven I bad novcr seen her," lie added, In a voice husky with pain, yet tin IIHni: with a kind of pitiful scorn at his own weakness.

JJut "Natalie's dear face" her f alr,sweet loving face, so bright with happiness and trust was the last picture which bo carried away In his heart when he started upon his journey. And, having; ai rived at his destination, tho whirl and rush of business cares proved the very thing most needful to break the dangerous spell which had thrown its dreamy, subtle fascinations around his heart. Once more hn was beginning to feel like himself strong, clear-headed nnd constant as a knight-errant to his pretty swectlieatt when, one fateful evening, ho attended a small illnucr-party given by a fashionable lady whom he knew but slightly. "I havo a-fair friend fishing niejiist now an acquaintance of yours, Mr. (trey son, whom I think you will bo glad to see again," smiled his hostesses she welcomed him in the splendid drawing room. "It was to meet her that I particularly desired you to come Miss Cbarmlan llothwell." And, as tho name left the lips of his hos- ss, Doane Grcysoti turned and saw her at lis side Cbarmlan Kathwoll, tho dark- iyed, dangerous beauty whose wiles he had been struggling to forget. More fatally alluring than ever she looked to-night, in her toilet of soft, floating black tulle, Iblckly sprinkled with gold, a golden star gleaming In the dusky tresses above her'rcgal brow. Sho looked hk the Queen of Night caughtIna shower of her own luminous stais. Greyson caught his breath as his glance fell upon tho bewildering vision, and he felt the old madness of her spell rushing back upon him; but hn struggled manfully against It.

Oh, yes," she answered sweetlj ; ''I re member her a pretty child, with soft,gray eyes and peach-blow checks, and somewhat boidenlsh manners, I used lo think If you will pardon me," with a slow, sweet smile. which, somehow, brought Natalie's little faults, of manner before his mental yislon as nothing had ever done before. "Still, ,,e Is very young; she will acquire In time the grace aud refinement which. In vour wife, will be Indlsuensable." The delicate emnhasls which she laid upon that pronoun conveyed a volume of meaning, anil It was not lost. But Doane resolutely ti led to keen both head and heart free from tho siren's wiles. "I love her best just as she Is a sweet, Innocent -vlldwood flower," he answered loyally. "No queen ol society could bo su dear to mo as my llttlo Nat, with her un spoiled heart and childish ways." Miss Itotwell smiled again, but said noth Ing. Tho bravo loyal speech of Natalie's lover did not disturb her for a- moment She knew her own power too well. "Have you seen the conservatory?" she asked, carelessly, some time later. "Mrs. Lunedon has the finest display of orchid In the city, I am told. And I remember your fondness for flowers, Mr. Greyson." Her dark eyes wero smiling upon him, but Doane hesitated, lie had been declar- lug to himself that ho would never again trust himself wlthlu tho power of her charms, and what could be more dangerous than a fefe-n-fete In the softlj-lighted, flow er-scented coneryatory? He would not go, he said stoutly In him self; but jven as lm said It, lie arose from the sofa and offered her his arm. A half hour later Natalie was forgotten. Again ho was a slave, blindly, madly worshiping at tho shrlno ofthe dark-eyed lron. There-was a flush of triumph on Charm lan rtothwell's dusky cheek.a brilliant light In her great black eyes, as Dikhh fireyson held her hand at parting. ''I have won!" she muttered, turning to ascend the wide oaken staircase, wllh a subtle smile on her perfect Hps; "he Is more madly In love, with ine than ever. And I? ah I If I had not loved hiru I shoul not have taken all this trouble, and laid tny snaro so carefully to meet him hero. For I knew that he was coming. But for that knowledge" with a little trill laughter "I should bo in New York to- night Instead of here. But ho doesn' dream of that. Oh. no, It Is all cbanco-or fate to him.

"Very well, sir," returned the clergy man, regaining his calmness. "I mean just what I tald. This lady, Cbarmlan Carnlow, Is my wife.

H'lthln two years of our marriage, she eloped with a young officer whom ! had trusted as my friend, and H'ell, that Is all, sir. I never saw her again until this hour.

The future Is ours; let us mako It bright with our loTfo and trust." rROPER EXERCISE irhen we talk about cxerclse.wo are very apt to forget that It Is a many-sided word. We ijsc It as If It referred merely to the movement of tho musc!es. It Is necessary to health that all our powers should bo exercised, and the con tinued disiiso of any nf them results In Us partial or total loss. If any ono should lie lu bed for years, without tlfS slightest ailment, one would loso tho use of tho limbs; and nil's Is equal ly true of qnlto dllferent faculties. All our powers grow by use. We loseour faculty what artists call our touch" by neglect of -practice on other things besides the piano. The man who seldom reads slowly; the oman whose writing Is confined to an tin frequent letter to some absent child, spends moro time over that than does a practiced writer over a dozen pages of manuscript. Iu the realm of the emotions it Is the same. Benevolence Is largely a matter of habit, So is affection, self-control, gentleness. If, then, exercise, in Its largest sense,. is f so great consequonce, we at once see the mportance of apportioning It to our own personal deeds. If our occupation Is sedentary, wc need to plan for walks and rides and active games to keep our muscles lithe and-seiyiceable, But if our employment gives us enough muscular action, It is notJihe whit less Im portaut to our health of body that wethouu plan for mental exercise. And, in cither case, that Ufa must be a 'dwarfed and ' unhealthy one that does not provide for our spiritual faculties for wur ship and charily and patience and mag nanlmlty. PRETTY BH0E3 Women have always been admirers of graceful footgear, and the boot or shoe Is as it always has been, an Important Item of dress. Iu Oriental countries they have a certain significance. In Western Asia slippers left at the door of any apartment signify that the master or mistress, whoever may be therein, is engaged, and no one thinks nf intruding, not even a husband, though the apartment be his wifo's. A writer, sneaking of termagants of Be nares, says: "If domestic or other business calls off one of tbe combatants before tho affair I settled, she coolly thrusts her shoe beneath her basket, and leaves both upon the spot to signify that she Is not satisfied." In this way she indicates that she keep: possession ofthe ground, an argument dur- ng her unavoidable absence A blow from a slipper was moio dreaded by Mussulmans than a stroke from a ponl ard. The latter might bring death, It I true, but thn former brought dishonor, In ancient days the craft of the shoe maker was quite an art. Tlin Iloraan low boot was of various culois, generally black sometimes red, or of a bright scarlet, and It entirely covered the foot, rising about three Inches above the ankle, and being fastened ht the top by a strap, a lace, or cord. They ornamented their tlioes, especially those of the women, with pearls and era broideries. Some ladle? had soles of mat live gold. The choplne was of Eastern origin, and worn with a view to Inrreaclng the height of tho wearer, Raymond describes the Venetian women as wearing choplnes as high as a mn leg, and tays they "walk between tv handmaids, majestically dellbeiatlng of every step, they take." Howell datcrlbes the Venetian womeu as consisting of three parti, one part wood meaning their choplnet one of apparel, and the third part being a woman. Similarly when one wat asked how he j ilke(j the Venetian damn, he languidly re marked that tbey were halt flesh, half wood, and he would have none of them. The choplnes were not Inappropriately des cribed as wodden scaffolds. Sale blllt printed while you wait. a. ... it.
