That It our lives may nan,

"I)oae, what Is it that tioubles you so?

tie qavcr in the sweet, girlish voice as It
broke off abruptly, In a half-frightened
way, before the words that had sprung to
her lips could find utterance.
"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,

"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

are to be ray wife. Nat I belong to yon,

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.
So, with all her doubts dispelled, and the
dark-eyed, beautiful siren who bad caused

trust and confidence, although the parting
was to be for many weeks.
For Doane Greyson had been called by
the death of a relative toa dls'ant clty.snd,
as there were many business matters to be
settled which would require bis piesence
there, he had come this evening to take
leave of his lovely little aweatheirt,
several weeks at least.
"lly true, sweet little Natl" he muttered
to himself as he went away at last, wl
her fond, confiding words still sounding
his ears, "Heaven give me strength to

' h darkly-beautiful, seductlyo face, which
; bad come Into bis life less than a imnth
before, and which had shut out Natalie's
I fair loveliness from his dreams, both sleep
I lug and wakliiL', far oftener tliiui he liked
to remember.
"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. "She Is not worthy a
man's deep, trustful love, asniy sweet Na
talie Is. Slid Is a beautiful siren a fascin

best to shun, yes, that Is Cbauulan ltolh-
wcll. And yet my God, my Godl liow
haid it is to forget tier, even wltliNalaie'i
dear face before my eyes."
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.
"Yes, raj stay hero will be as brief as my
business will allow," ho told her, seizing
tlie first opportunity which presented Itself
during their conversation, "In truth" a
pioud, meaning smile lighting up his hand
some face "I shall have to confess a lov
er's eagerness to return home, eyen at the
risk of my reputation for gallantry, Miss
llothwell" with an apologetic bow "for
hope aml expect 10 bo -vcry 800'
You have met my olllanccd bride, Miss
Natalie Ward, during your stay in Dan
forth?" 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. But, my dear little Natalie'
with a scornful laugh "I am sorry for
sol you. I have won your lover I"

ministry; but soon wrecked my happiness.
H'lthln two years of our marriage, she

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.
