It ovory victim of this dis ease would heed only throo words of mine, I could banish Gout from the land. These words would be 'Try Ayer's Pills.' " "By tho use of Ayer's rills ulono, I enred myself permanently of rhcuma- ' tlsm which had troubled mo several months. These Fills are at onco harmless and effectual, and, I believe, would prove a specific in all coses of incipient Rheumatism. No medicine could have served mo In better stead." O. O.

"To give the wholo world up, nor call It lost, If only thou wcrt mine To peril heaven for thee, nor count the cjst 'TIs thus 1 love Jheo, dear." . Sang fair Arlino AaJbtgrF wUh a passionate meaning In every word that' foil so tlirill Ingly from her pretty lips. And as the last note died awry, slio whirled suddenly around'upon tlio stool and looked up Into tlio lfandsomo dark faco which had bent so thoughtfully above her while sho sang. That' Is loyc. Indeed the only loye worth Hying for, Mr. C'rcvellng," sho ex claimed, 'with a soft sweet 1IU16 laugh which her listener might tako playfully or n earnest, according to his fancy, "llut wonder how many who profess It really understand' the passion Inalj Its power and intensity as expressed In Uio;1soiig? Our proud, lovely Marl.n over there, for In stanco" turning her blue eyes slowly to ward the other'sldo of tho room where a girl sat playing chess with a fine-looking, white-haired old gentleman. "Oh, yon needn't. color so violently, Mr. Groveling"' with a rougish little laugh; "of course we all know that she lias yielded, in her calm, queenly way, to Cupid's fetters. But still, when I look at her, so cold, so calm, so passionless, I often llnd mjself wondering whether sho really Hut there! a thousand pardons" checking herself abruptly with a most captivating look of penitence on her pretty face "I Lshould not talk like this lo you, of all men." "Pray don't distress yourself, Miss Ar lino," he hastened to say, with nioro tender forgiveness than displeasure In his tone. "You've done no harm, I assure you. You are mistaken in Miss Ersklne's nature, that Is all. She is not demonstrative, I grant you." Arlino sighed very softly as she glanced up shyly and sweetly Into tho young man's dark eyes. "No," she said, half questionlngly, "that must bo why I and others havo mis judged her so. I confess I cannot under stand how, if ono docs love deeply and In tensely, as as I feel It would be my natttiu to do how ono could help showing ft In ovcry word and look. It would bo foolisl of course, to Urns let one's heait bo read as if it were an open book: but I know I could neyer bo so so cold and dissembling as Marian Krskinol" "Dissembling!" It was a word that WlVbur Cievullng scarcely liked, applied to his betrothed wife; his check flushed-with sudden warmth and ho had opened his lips to remonstrate, but Arllne had whirled back again to tlio piano with one of her pretty, Impulsive movements, and was repeating in the softest and sweetest of accents tho last lines of tho Impassioned song: "To peril heaven for thee, nor count the cost Tis tints I love the dear." And the drooping bluo eyes wcro raised to his with such a world of tender lncanlug In llieii lialf-vcllcd light, that the words ho had meant to say wero silenced on his lips. So he leaned upon the Instrument, look' lug down upon tho fair, expressive tacc, and listening half dreamily to the passion ate words sho sang, almost realizing, for the first time, that all her heart was In the song, and that It was meant for him. - Ho staited, with a sensation that was half shame, half pleasure, as the thought forced Itself upon him. lie glanced swiftly across the room to Marian, still dutifully amusing her father at the chess table, and then back to tho fair, wlnsomo face flushed with an cmo tion.tlic meaning of which had just dawned upon his senses, "Marian Is cold," bo thought,wlth some thing like a shadow of discontent on his handsome face. "Arlino has noticed It, aud so, It seems, have others, I havo '.icon the object of their pity, possibly, Uut If they judged her lncapab truo love.Io of could they have thought Oh, Impossible' with a thrill ot manly self-contempt. "Marian's fortune is even greater than my own. No one would be so wild as to credlo our betrothal to mercenary lnfluences."t Still the shadoiv lingered on his brow. and some subtle attraction kept htm beside the pretty singer. "So charming llltlo Arlino loves mo?" ho mused, half smiling, as ho watched tho fair, drooping, teli-talo face. "Sho would die of shame, the pretty child, If sho knew that had guessed her secret. Well well, sho must never know It. And she blames Marian in her passionate, tender llttlo heart for seeming cold toward me. Ah, she would not bo so could sho stand In Marian's place." All theso wcro mere idle fancies floating through his brain, almost unconsciously, as ho gazed Jowli upon Dip blushing, child llko face, and listened in silcnco to Arllne's low, dreamy, thrilling music. But when he crossed the room to Marian, seeing her disengaged at last, strangely enough, those Idlo fancies went with him. and rose up between him and tho fair, proud faco of his affianced bride as sho turned, with her rare, sweet smile, to greet him. "You havo been well entertained, I'm sure," sho remarked in her quiet, graceful way, "for you don't look the least bit bored. Doesn't Arlino sing delightfully?" "Yes," he assented, wondering If it real ly was becauso she could not loyc deeply and truly herself, that she had not divined that passion In Arllne's heart toward him. "But I shouldn't have- listened to her musfc so long If I had seen a chanco to claim your attention. You havo been in expressibly cruel lo me this evening, Marian." "Surely, Wilbur, you were not jealous of papa!" sho exclajmcd, with a low, rip pling laugh of amusement. "And as to tho others, of course I could not neglect them altogether, not oven for you dear," lowering her voice tenderly. "A hostess' tlmo and society are not always at her own disposal." "But you scarcely sent me a smile or a glance, oven, to console me In my oxcile," ho went one, half seriously, feeling just In the mood to resent that "proud, passion less calm" of whicli Arllne had so pointed ly reminded him. "llut you wero in my thoughts every mo ment," she returned Instantly, looking at mm with a sort of proud, wondering stir prlso on her beautiful face, "Certainly, you know that, Wilbur." Ho colored under that calm, searching glance, as though ho had been convicted of tho basest treachery. "I will try notto forget itagain.Marlan," o murmured, with a constrained little laugh to liltlo tho sudden and unwonted concision ho felt in her tranquil presence. TT. 1 1 I ... iiecoutu imagine Arlino Ashton reprov ing a lover for such doubts; but i.t would bo with drooping oyes and warm, sweet blushes or, more likely, a hot storm" of passlonato tears. But not so Marian Ersklne. There were blushes on her fair cheeks, nothing save conscioiisprldoand faith In bcrcalm,quccn- ly bearing, faho always reminded him of some regal llower, with her creamy, color less skin,, her deep, lustrous grey eyes, and her coronal of gold-brown hair, with red tints gleaming through it In the changing lights... . 'Awoman to bo proud of, surely. Y6t. sitting by her side, listening to her sweet, gentlo voice, TKilbur Crevcllng found him self thinking more of Arlino than of her thinking of tho strange, impassioned lovo she had so artlessly betrayed to him, and pitying her most tenderly for ull sho must myc secretly suffered for his sake. "Poor child," he thought, watching with half remorseful, but admiring eyes the graceful, downcast head and fair, wist ful faco over thcro at the piano; "I wish I could alono to heriu some way." That wish ilruw him to Arllne's sldo of ten afterward; nnd once there, the pretty llttlo siren knew well how to hold him in her chains, liven Marian's fair, proud faco began to betray a consciousness of the danger that menaced Ier futtuo happiness. llut whatever sho suffcted, It was In si lence. Tlio lyiix-oyed woild about her could doled no cliiingo In her manner to ward her l&vcr, nor to Arlino Ashton, her ptctty, fascinating guest. "I wonder how It will end?" they whisp er sub rosa, among themselves. "Marian is no proud, you know; ono tan never tell how she will act whether she will discard him olMiand, or whether she will go on wuu mo marriage, pretending she lias never seen anything amiss In his devotion to Arllne." Kato answered the question for them, as perhaps, Marian could not havo answered it herself. She went into the conservatory one uyen ing, after dressing for the opera, to select soiiio llowcrs for her hair. There, almost concealed by a .thicket of plants and foliage, stood her lover and Arllne. Marian suddenb drew back, her beauti fill face, -while as marble, her slender,quccn- like figure trembling In every nerve; for a few of their low-spoken words had reached her car words that could leave no doubt of their tcrriblo meaning. Only for ono Instant Marian blood there, stunusd, bewildered; then, taking a st cp forward, sho confronted them quietly, no slzu of the grief or scorn in her heart betray Ing Itself, save In tho Intense, dazzling fire of her luminous gray eyes. I havo no desire to bo an obstacle, In tho way of your happiness, Arllne," sho said quite calmly, answering the speaker whom she had overheard. "And as for you, Wilbur" turning slowly to him "take this! You are free from this mo incut to ask tho girl you Ioyo to be your wife," and dropping her betrothal ring at his feet, sho turned quietly to go. "Marian!" stammered iniburC'revclliig, trying In a guilty, confused way to detain her. But with ono gesture of her white hand she waved him back. "Words arc useless now.'isho sal4, with a slow, cold smile. "I have heard tho truth." So the world know at last, how proud Marian would end It, and Arllne's pretty, bewitching faco was. no longer teen among her guests. Her engagement to Wilson Crevcllu was. a nlno days' subject of gossip, and then, for vcycral months, things went on In the usual commonplace way. They had gono pleasantly anough for Wilbur, who was quite fond nnd proud of his pretty, bluceycd fiancee. He and Mar Ian seldom met, and when they did, her quiet, Indifferent hearing lu his presence convinced hi in more and more that she could nnyrr have loved him. "And my pretty Arlino Is lovo itself," ho thought, with a tender snillo. 'Toor child, I think she would havo died If her ioyo had gono unrequited."
