examine the grounds. Everything was
beautiful and cared for; but the terrible
stillness oppressed me. And when I had
finished breakfast I asked the silent footman
if Mr. Brown were at home. Good heav
ens! The man shook his head, he was deaf
-and dumb. I was evidently not intended
to question the servants, so I took the deli
cate hint to heart and waited.
At last, at 11 o'clock, there was a knock
at mr door and Mr. Brown entered. He
indulged in no chit-chat, but merely said:
"Kindly step this way. Miss Brown is
ready for her lesson. I hope yon have all
yon require. Bo not hesitate to ask for
anything you. want."
He led me down several corridors and
through several passage rooms. Evidently
jut pupil lived in the opposite wing of the
big honse. He paused at last before a baize
door, opened it, knocked at the inner door
and we entered.
"Miss Taylor," he said to an elderly and
severe-looking lady, "let me introduce Mr.
Tavlor to von Helen's tutor."
We bowed as if we were moved by jerky )
clockwork.
I looked round the room for "Helen."
2Jo one was there; but Miss Taylor rose,
and, opening another door, called out:
"Helen, Mr. Thorner is here."
I heard an impatient exclamation of dis
gust; and in another moment the door was
pushed ODen and Helen stood in the door
way. I was entirely surprised. It was not a
child, but a tall, very dark girl of about 16
stood there. She was certainly beantifnl,
but for the expression of scorn and temper
which she took no trouble to hide, and
which spoilt her beauty.
She did not bow to me, but barely moved
her head. Then Mr. Brown said in his
calm wav:
"Helen, let me introduce you to Mr.
Tnorner, your tutor. Mr. Thorner, my
niece. Miss Brown."
Then he lelt us, and I sat down in a business-like
way, and began to find out what
my pupil knew.
I must own to great disappointment when
I discovered Helen Brown knew nothing ot
Latin or Greek. She was able to read and
write English and knew a good deal of un
expected knowledge; but I discovered that
her education was terribly neglected, and
that had she had a modern Girtou teacher,
she would have been more likely to learn
something. "Why I had been brought here
to teach Greek and Latin to a young lady
who knew so little of English, 1 was at a
loss to discover. That was not my business.
However, I was determined to do my best;
and in spite o! Miss Brown's evident ill
temper, of which I took no notice, we
worked on for two hours.
Alter this time, Helen suddenly got up,
shut up her book, and said:
"That's quite enough of this new perse
cution," and walked proudly away out of
the room.
Miss Taylor made no remark, except:
"That will do for to-day, Mr. Thorner.
Come at the same time to-morrow," and so
dismissed me.
For the rest of the time I was left to my
own devices. I gave orders for my horse to
be brought round, and I was asked if I
would ride out in the carriage; but I saw no
one else till the next morning, when at the
same hours servant came to fetch me, and
conducted me to Helen Brown's room. I
was met with the same proud scorn, the
same undisguised temper from Helen, and
the same silence from Miss Taylor. I felt
piqned. I said to myself that I would make
this ignorant, willful girl take a pleasure in
her books. At present I had not succeeded,
but the fault must be mint-; evidently I did
not know how to teach. For many days I
studied the subject I read books on teach
ing; I wrote to a village schoolmaster. In
fact I spared no pains till at last I discov
ered teaching was a science, and that I must
study how to teach. Every day I went to
Helen's room two hours, Sundays excepted.
It was the same routine, but I worked hard
by myself. Igave lessons aloud in my room
to imaginary Helens. I tried to make
things clear to her; I spent olten five hours
in preparation for those two. I wanted hon
estly to earn my money, and lor the rest I
cared nothing.
And Walked Proudly Away.
I think this ambition kept me from be
coming stupid. I dared not tell my mother
the truth; she would have pitied me. I made
the most of my pleasures in my letters home,
and determined also to make the best of my
lunely situation, till gradually I felt 1
was improving. I knew I could arrest
Helen's attention; I experienced the delight
ful sensation of the power to impart, which
so many think erroneously everybody pos
sesses. At the end of the quarter Mr. Brown,
whom I very rarely saw, asked me if I were
satisfied. I said, "Yes," he handed me an
other check, and all began again as usual.
Though Helen was as proud and scornful as
ever, her temper was improved; she some
times was ready for me, instead of having to
be sent for; and once yes, once she smiled,
and I was startled at the difference it made
in her.
As for the rest, I never solved the mystery
that surrounded the Moat House, and I re
solved never to try to do so. Still, being
human, I often wished I could win Helen's
sympathy. I could see, as time went on,
that her mind developed. She grew more
beautiful as she began to lose her "don't
care" look; she prepared her lessons with
more care and interest, and sometimes
smiled when I praised her.
That smile revealed to me that Helen
Brown had an inner self; that if she lived
in a happier atmosphere she might But
why speculate? My pupil disliked me, I
caw plainly, and took but little trouble to
conceal her dislike; still, as the months
passed away, I settled that Helen disliked
me only as far as I represented her uncle's
will; for myself, as an individual, she was
passively indifferent.
Bnt my thoughts often turned to my cot
tage home, and when at last I was allowed
a week's holiday no more I rushed back
to the dearest little mother, and those four
sisters, who did try hard to spoil me. Hap
piness is easily imagined; I need not de
scribe it My mother's pride and happiness
in my success was reward enough for my
terrible loneliness; the chief difficulty was
how to avoid answering inconvenient ques
tions which the dear people showered upon
me; was my pupil pretty? How old was
she? Did Mr. Brown reeeive much com
pany? Did I meet many agreeable persons?
Did Miss Helen admire me? My answers
were ambiguous. "We did not receive much
company. Miss Helen was young; I did
not know her age. Th governess was lady
like, but not young. I bad all, and more
than all, I wanted; and then, to defend my
self Irom further remarks, I asked questions
about the girls.
Hetty was going to teach in a high school;
she loved teaching, and meant to get a head
mistress-ship in time. Cella had taken less
ons in cooking, and was fitting herself for a
professional cook whenever I gave up my
post! Alice taught Minnie every day, and
little mother helped every one.
It was wonderful how happy and con
tented they all were; but my mother, when
we were alone, said:
"Hugh, dearest, I know you hate thanks,
but it must give you pleasure to know that
this happine&r is all your doing; from yon I
can take money, but from another it would,
indeed, have been a bitter trial."
,1 kissed her in silence, and I think I
looked happy; bat the week ended all too
lib
soon, and with a smothered sigh I returned
to my dreary work.
Two years passed thus, very, very quiet,
and quite uneventful; but Helen, though
prouder and sterner, if possible, was men
tally another being. She must be over 18, 1
thought; my dismissal must be close at
hand.
One evening I had been trying to settle
my ideas as to the future, and how best to
find more work when I should no longer be
required to teach Helen. I knew something
of teaching now, and I had had plenty of
time to improve my own knowledge. Sud
denly my meditation was interrupted by a
knock at the door, and Mr. Brown entered.
I saw him so seldom that I fancied be
must olten have been away from London;
but no one ever told me, and my deaf and
dumb servant was not given to lengthy
speeches on his fingers.
Something now told me that Mr. Brown
had come to give me my conge, and I felt I
should regain my freedom with a sigh,
strange though it may seem.
Mr. Brown" bestowed the same searching
glance upon me as when I had first seen
him. and he said:
'Xou have been here two years, Mr.
Thorner, and my niece is now of an age to
continue her studies alone."
"Yes, sir, I have been expecting you to
say so. Miss Brown can now, I hope, profit
by private study."
"You may remember," continued Mr.
Brown, taking no notice of my remark,
"that I said at our second meeting your
engagement would last for two years, and
then you might have the option of continu
ing it."
"How is that possible?" I said, in a tone
of surprise. "Miss Brown may prefer "
"I do not mean in exactly the same man
ner; indeed, 1 have come here this evening
to explain my proposal to you. I need not
remind you that you assured me that your
mother was your first thought, I may say
that I have never had reason to doubt
you."
I raised my head indignantly. Did he
mean I bad not made love to his niece? I
had, then, been right in my first supposition.
He continued:
"On the contrary, you have done your
duty well; and I hope, on your side, you
have had nothing to complain of our bar
gain has been kept."
"Certainly, sir; I am satisfied," I said
coldly.
"But I feel sure you are anxions about
your future. It is difficult to find five hun
dred a year, and you are anxious to continue
to maintain your mother."
The blood mounted to my face; surely all
this was my own affair, not his.
"I shall look out for work as I did before."
"Certainly, I will do my best to help you;
but first let me make a proposition to you.
You will oblige me by making no comment,
but taking a night to think over my propo
sal. One night only; and I may as well re
mind you, as I did before, that, a? was our
previous one, the bargain is fair to both
sides. You have had a liberal salary here,
and easy work; but you have had a lonely
life, and I could not have found many to 'do
as you have done. We are quits; the post
was worth what I gave you. It is the same
now. Do you agree to what I have said?"
"Yes, sir; I think you view the matter
fairly. I do not deny that few would have
endured the dull life I have lived for two
years; but I was well paid for it, and I am
satisfied."
"Very well. How. sir, my proposal for the
future is this kindly remember that I wish
to hear no comments I offer you 500 a
year for your life and a check of 10,000 "
"Tor what?" I stammered.
"Excuse me, I was coming to that In
consideration for the above, I shonld wish
you to marry my niece, but the marriage
will be purely a business matter the legal
ceremony being over you will never see her
again. I shall expect you to seek employ
ment elsewhere, and never to return here or
try to see my niece again. Of course you
will voluntarily resign all claims in consid
eration of the sum named. As I can foresee
one of your questions, let me tell yon there
is nothing dishonorable in the transaction;
my niece agrees to it. The wedding will
take place in a city church, where no one
will know the contracting parties, nor recog
nize your names when the banns are pub
lished among many others. I shall expect
yon to keep the affair a secret, though, of
course, the marriage being perfectly legal,
you must never, till my niece's death, marry
another woman. Por your mother's sake
yon may think the sacrifice worth making,
otherwise you are at liberty to reluse. Good
evening, Mr. Thorner; to-morrow morning
kindly give me your answer in writing.
You need not give my niece any more les
sons, she will no longer require vour serv
ices." In another moment Mr. Brown had shut
the door, and I was le.t alone, almost dazed
by this last extraordinary proposal. I re
mained stupefied for half an hour or more,
then I jumped up and walked up and down
my room, every now and then bursting out
laughing at the words I had heard.
"Preposterous, ridiculous, nothing would
induce me to do such a thing! I never
heard such a proposal 1 It is wicked, fool
ish; and then for myself, of course I do not
mean to marry for years, not till my mother
is well provided for, and the girls married;
but when all these 'its' happen, then may
not life be sweeter for some gentle wife, who
will love and be loved?"
How long I argued thus I don't know;
but after several weary hours, for I never
thought of sleep, my ideas gradually took
an opposite turn. My dearest mother had
been so happy with my income; she had ac
cepted it because our' love and trust were
mutual, she would resign it without a word.
but I should know she was pinching and
wanting necessaries. The girls, too, unless
I could soon get well-paid work, must work
hard for bread and butter. My literary ven
tures had brought me in next to nothing;
I must not depend on these to bring much
grist to the mill. "Was I right to throw
away this chance? 500 a year for my mother
and the 10,000 1 could invest for myself;
with this I could live in a quiet wav". and
perhaps make more money. I could buy a
partnership, and money always comes to
money, so I shonld soon double my income!
I should most likely never wish to marry.
and if I did in my present position I
should not be able to do so; while I should
struggle lor years, and yet see want at my
mother's door.
For her sake for her sake. "What did
my future happiness matter? Bnt, then,
tor her sake I must not do wrong. Was
this wrong? What was the meaning of it?
Did Helen really consent; but how could
such a young girl throw away happiness so
recklessly? Was a crime being committed;
why was she brought up like this? Had
Mr. Brown always intended this end to my
tutorship; hd he? No, the mystery could
not be solved. Once more I scoffed at the
proposal, and declared aloud I would re
fuse; but then once again the dread of seeing
little mother in need, in real need, came
over me so strongly that I cried out, throw
ing myself utterly exhausted into my large
arm chair.
"I must. I must accept for her sake: but I
will get Helen's written consent before I say
Yes "
The gray morn broke chill and damp, the
wintry dawn had nothing hopeful, nothing
comforting about it, my limbs seemed as
heavy as lead, my temples were burning,
and yet I hesitated.
T Xf.f.F innf ffir TT Rnlr
He who hesitates is lost, some say; and
just as the sun rose slowly over the wintry
scene I dragged myself to "the writing table
and wrote thus:
"Deae Sie I accept your proposal, but
with the one condition that I see Miss
Brown's written consent to this marriage;
and, further, I insist on knowing the reason
that makes such a cruel thing possible and
necessary. Yours faithfully,
"Hugh Thoenee."
I sent my deaf and dumb servant with the
letter before breakfast and waited for the
reply. It came, and I knew Helen's writing
only too well. Thus ran her note:
"As I must be married before my eight
eenth birthday, as well Mr. Thorner as any
one else; but, as you promise me, I shall
never see him again, I consent to going
through the mere form any day you like to
name. Helen Brown."
With it was a note from Mr. Brown.
As yon only require this note to make you
consent I shall expect you to be ready to
perform your part of the contract to-day
week. Your banns have already been pub
lished, as I anticipated your acceptance of
my terms. You will receive minute instruc
tions as to the place of meeting. A check is
inclosed. Yours faithfully,
"Thomas Bbown."
"Yes. out of his note fell the" check for
10,000, the price of my liberty, the price of
my future happiness perhaps but my
mother was saved, she would never want; if
the sacrifice was great the reward was great,
too.
CHAPTER IIL
I livep in a dream, I might say a night
mare, during the next week, from which I
only woke up when the closely veiled figure
of Helen had signed her name in the vestry,
and I saw, as if in letters of blood, her bold
handwriting, "Helen Brown." We had not
met, nor had we exchanged a word since
that fatal day till now; and even now she
said nothing, but merely bowed when we
got to the church door and drove off with
her uncle, while I there were but we three
turned away and was soon wandering in
the streets, knowing I was provided for for
life, but with a terrible pang of conscience
when I asked myself at what cost
Home. I must go home and confess. The
deed was done. My mother was provided
for, but I must confess to her. The burden
of this last deed of mine was too great to be
borne alone. I must tell her everything.
She would scold me, but she would pity me,
or would she terrible thought say I was
no son of hers.
Anyhow, anything was better than an un
certainty, and from the church door I made
my way at last to the railway station, and
took my ticket for home. I had already
sent on my luggage.
Never had I gone home in such a frame
of mind. Never before had I dreaded to
see little mother; and yet, after all, the sac
rifice I had made was lor her sake. This it
was that upheld me through the agony I
endured. It is strange that we can act and
speak like ordinary mortals in moments
when we are enduring mental torture, for
when I reached home I was met with a
chorus of happiness, and mother looked so
radiant that I felt I should have great diffi
culty in telling her of my terrible marriage,
which was no marriage at all.
"This is nice, Hugh. Why didn't you
write and tell us the exact time, my dear
bov?" said my mother as she kissed me.
"We have a piece of news for you," cried
Hetty, "but we kept it till you had left that
stupid Helen Brown."
"And you will really be free to give her
away?" cried Cella.
"I knew it before you," chimed in Minnie.
Alice alone said nothing, but blushed very
red.
"It was only settled yesterday," added
mother; "it was so unexpected. Alice is
going to leave us."
I looked up at Alice in a stupefied man
ner. I guessed at once she was going to be
married.
"You, too," I stammered.
"Hugh, don't be angrv!" cried Alice, sur
prised. "Arthur Holston won't take no."
Arthur Holston, the son of an old neigh
bor, who certainly had danced a great deal
with Alice on that fatal night of the ball;
but he was the richest man in the county.
and our Alice had not a penny. Was my
sacrifice' going to be useless?
"Alice, impossible! I cannot give you
more than a very small income," I said,"
hardly knowing what I was talking of.
"As if Arthur would accept any of your
moneyr-dear old Bugb. He said he much
prefers my having nothing, as he has so
much; and, oh, Hugh, he declares he won't
marry me unless we all go and live at the
White House, which he doesn't want"
"Nonsensel my mother can afford her own
house now, and need not be dependent on
anyone," I said, angrily.
And then the dear people made excuses
for me. Said I was overworked. And I
felt like a wretch who had spoilt their hap
piness. I can not remember what else was said
and done during the evening. 1 know my
head was burning. I was in another world;
and when the girls had retired, leaving me
with little mother, I rose up and stood be
fore her like a criminal.
"Mother," I said, "what did you think of
me just now? I was a bear, but I am ill,
feel my hands. I am not myself; and yet
and yet I must tell you. I must confess that
I am yes, aB well have it out I am mar
ried. I was married this morning."
"Married you! Oh, my poor boy, where
is she, where is your wife? Why didn't
you tell me? Is it 7 No, you have
done nothing dishonorable, I will not be
lieve it. Never mind who she may be. I
will receive her, you know I will." I will
love her as your wife deserves to be loved;
you, who have worked so hard for your
mother. In the future there will be no
need; Alice will help her sisters. Arthur
is so good, he always meant to marry our
Alice directly he was his own master and .
Yes, Hugh, we will all love the woman you
have chosen."
I fell back into the arm chair, and, cover
ing my face with my hands, I confessed
everything.
"Mother, forgive me," I added. "I did
it for your sake; but when I said those
words, 'till death,' you know the wicked
ness of the deed came over me; but it is done
done. How you must despise me."
I remember a terrible pause; and then my
mother's arms were round me, and I heard
her voice saying, "My poor, poor boy," and
in these words I heard my condemnation
atfd her pitying forgiveness.
I hardly remember what happened after
that; perhaps I fainted. I know I was very
ill; the doctor said 1 was on the verge of
brain feyer. How time passed I never knew;
but, after what seemed to be years, I sank
at last into a blessed quietness; the visions
left me, and yet 1 was not conscious of con
nected thought. I knew people came in and
out and were silent I knew little mother
was there, tor sometimes I was conscious of
her soft hands on my forehead. Other peo
ple, too, I was half conscious of knowing;
the girls came and sat by me once I thought
it was Alice, and I said her name, bnt, in
stead of answering, she glided away.
One day the light iu the room grew
brighter. I gave a sigh of relief; the
blessed quiet was like life to ue, and I
tried to see if I were alone. I turned my
head slowly, for I was very weak, and, with
out opening my eyes, I said, I know not
why, "Helen."
A very soft hand was put upon my head,
but I knew it was not mother's hand, and I
stopped a long time to think which of the
girls had such long, soft fingers. Then
mother's voice said, and these were the first
words I understood:
"He is a shade stronger to-day; he turned
his head, thank heaven."
Then 1 heard a little sob, an'd a voice I
knew quite well, -and vet which was not
quite familiar, answered:
"Oh, yes yes. Thank heaven."
Whose voice was it ? I must know. I
made an effort and opened my eyes; and
near me. in a soft white dress, was Helen,
my wife, but Helen with an expression I
had never seen before Helen, beautiful as
she had always been, but with no proud,
ill-tempered look on her lace. It may
seem strange, and the past must have pre
pared the way for the present; but the
truth is, that moment I knew that I loved
Helen.
"Helen," I said, "is it a dream? Helen,
my wife?" and mother answered:
"Yes, Hugh, my dear, dear boy, it is
Helen, your wife, who has nursed you back
to life."
"Helen, kiss me, and forgive me," I said,
slowly.
I heard another little sob, and felt her
cheek against mine, and I asked for nothing
more. I knew, without asking, that some
how or other little mother had performed a
miracle.
And so she had; and by degrees I learned
the truth of that mysterious past When I
fell ill my mother went straight off to the
Moat House, and without leave, appeared in
Mr. Brown's presence. She could be very
powerful when roused, and she found out the
truth. She discovered that Helen had al
ways hated her uncle, and that Irom child
hood she had suffered from his cold tyranny;
some large property which he wished her to
get possession of for herself one must give
him his due depended on her being mar
ried before she was 18, by the conditions of
an eccentrie will, and Heleu, to revenge her
self tor petty tyranny and want of love, had
made a resolution that she never would
marry to please him, and had told her uncle
so. She had determined to enter a sister
hood, anything, rather than marry the man
whom, before I knew her, her uncle had
chosen for her. This man was elderly and
stupid, and. thousrh I never knew it Helen
had often to endure his presence and his at
tentions. Mr. Brown had never believed
that a girl, barely educated, would have
power to resist his will; but as nothing
would bend her, he had tried another way,
telling her that she would be disinherited by
him if she did not eonsent.
This had led her to say that she would
earn her own living, and she had insisted on
having a tutor found for her. Then the idea
entered Mr. Brown's head that I might per
haps act as a dummy; for, though he did not
wish me to inherit the fortune, he thought I
might be worked upon to accept a pension
for my name. In this way, Helen, whom he
had learned to fear, and whom he despaired
of ever being able to move, might perhaps
consent to a mere legal ceremony, instead of
becoming a Sister ot Mercy.
This Helen had consented to do; and, too
proud to break her word, she accepted her
uncle's proposal on the conditions he of
fered, that I should disappear on the wed
ding day. He had laid bis plans well, but
he had not reckoned on my mother's arrival,
nor on the scorching words she heaped upon
him.
She had found the fatal agreement in my
pocket, and, taking it bacK, had torn it up
before his eyes, refusing ever to tonch a
penny ot the money. Then she insisted on
seeing Helen alone, and what passed be
tween them I never knew. I only knew
that Helen voluntarily gave up the money
she might have to her uncle, and that that
very day, fancying herselt penniless, she
started with my mother for the homely cot
tage which was now her only home.
Ah, well; when I was getting better
Helen and I both had some secrets to dis
close. "Dearest," I said, "how could you give
up everything lor me, whom you had always
disliked?"
"Oh, Hugh? it wasn't quite that The
truth is, I always loved you, or I should
never have mariied you. You were the
only person who ever was good to me; but I
saw you never cared at all for me, and so I
made up my mind you should notbe troubled
with me."
"Till I saw that you loved me, Helen. I
knew it by the touch of your fingers, and
the look on your beautitul face, darling,
And now you will have to share my pov
erty." "Oh, Hugh! what will that matter, when
I am so happy? You were the fairy prince
who came to deliver me from that haunted
house."
"My darling! but you have forgiven me?"
"If you had died, I know I could not have
lived. Your mother my mother she is now
said you would love me when Oh,
Hugh! I would scrub the floors for her, in
deed I would; and as to money, it never has
yet made me happy."
I might write on for ever about Helen;
but happiness is easily imagined. Strong
of character, and determined of will, Helen
was led quite easily by love, and love made
her another creatnre; with love surrounding
her she showed how noble she really was,
and how true and loving.
Have we been happy? Ask the little
mother; and, what is more, we are not poor,
for law is useful sometimes, and Helen,
much as she wished to give up her rights,
found this to be difficult
We were lar more fortunate than I, at all
events, deserved; and Mr. Brown dying
without a will gave us more money than we
desired. Had it not been that Helen was as
good as she was generous, she might have
been spoilt, but her greatest happiness was
to make others happy.
I think she showed her greatest generosity
when she pensioned Miss Taylor, "be
cause," she said, smiling, "oh, Hngh, I did
hate her so much! She always obeyed uncle,
and tried to make me do the same."
We have children of our own now, and
little mother lives with us, because the girls
would marry. Helen tried to find them
husbands, so that she might have mother
with us; at least, several of us accused her
of having these motives. She defended her
self by saying that her own youth had been
so unhappy that she hardly knew how chil
dren onght to be brought up, and that
mother would help to make her grand
children like herself.
The other day, when Alice and her chil
dren were staying with us, and we were en
joying a talk about old times, I said, turn
ing toward my mother;
"Mother, if I had had a free choice, I
know I could never have found a wife as
perlect as my Helen."
And little mother answered me, with one
of her loving smiles:
"Evidently, Hugh, your marriage was
made in heaven; but I must say you very
nearly spoilt it on earth."
Nearly; thank heaven! not quite. All
the Year Round.

AMONG THE ABBEYS.
A
Few Extracts Fi;om the lecture
Delivered by Miss Hare
FOR THE SOUTH SIDE HOSPITAL.
Historic Old Churches as the Memory Boxes
of Kingdoms.
SPOTS WORTH CROSSING SEAS TO SEE.
Bingham Street M. E. Church was well
filled with an appreciative audience to listen
to thelectureof the week, on "An Excursion
to Europe," by Miss M. E. Hare, principal
of the Fifteenth street schools. The lecture
was replete with interesting descriptions of
some of the historic spots of the Old World,
and was delivered in such a bright, fresh
manner that old subjects seemed imbued
with new interest. In the course of the
lecture much information is given regarding
the old abbeys visited. Some of these parts
are culled and given below:
"Westminster Abbey is worth crossing
an ocean to see. It is the history of En
gland made visible. All the kings and
queens Bince Harold have been crowned
there. It is the tomb, moreover, of the most
eminent statesmen, churchmen, poets and
novelists for 500 years. It is a strange
thought, to a republican, that he is stand
ing above the dust of kings and queens,
'whose scepters and crowns have tumbled
down.' The present buildings illustrate
nearly every period and variety of Gothic
architecture. For grandeur of architect
ure, for beauty of stained glass, for the per
fection of details, the Abbey must be the
admiration of all tourists; but its greatest
interest attaches to it as a place of sepulture
of so illustrious a congregation of the
dead.
"Like most of the finest Gothic churches
on the Continent, Westminster Abbey is
built in the form of across, extending from
the west entrance through nave and choir
gallery to the high altar with its glorious
east window, and the north and south tran
septs forming its arms.
WHEEE GEEAT MEN SLEEP.
"We must linger for awhile in Poets'
Corner. Chaucer, the father of English
poetry, is buried there. And there, from
time to time, the glorious company of his
followers have been borne to join him. Not
far off from the poets sleep Addison and Sir
Isaac Newton, Dickens, Thackeray, Mac
caulay and Dr. Samuel Johnson "(whose
monument, however, is in St. Paul's).
Livingstone, the great African explorer, is
buried here, and Handel, the great musical
composer, and the noted statesmen, Chat
ham, Pitt, Fox and Peel, who rest quietly
enough; all their debates over.
"Thirteen kings lie at rest In the Abbey,
and 14 queens, who were once reigning sov
ereigns or the wives of kings. Queen Eliza
beth is here, and her fair rival and victim,
Mary Queen of Scots, and good Queen Anne
and "Bloody" Mary, and that brave Queen
Elinore, who followed herhusband, Edward
the First, to the wars of the Crusaders, and
sucked the poison from his wound with' her
own bright lips; that beautiful Queen Eli
nore, whom her husband so loved and
mourned, that he exacted that every Abbot
of Westminster should be bound by oath, on
entering upon his office, to see that 100 wax
tapes were burning round her tomb on St.
Andrew's eve, the anniversay of her death.
AN EXTEAOBDINAEY MONUMENT.
One of the extraordinary monuments is
that to Lady Elizabeth Nightingale. It is
popularly known as "Death and the Lady."
The wife was represented dying in a very
uncomfortable position, half upheld by her
husband's arm, while the skeleton figure of
Death has burst forth from the iron door of
the tomb below, and is aiming'a dart at the
lady whom th,e husband in vain tries to
shield. It seems that this grim Death has
a terror for evildoers, for it is told among
the traditions of the Abbey that a robber
coming in cne moonlight night, caught a
glimpse of it, and was so affrighted that he
fled, leaving his crowbar behind him.
"There are nine large chapels in all.
The largest and most beautitul is that of
Henry VII. Leland calls it the miracle of
the world. The very walls are wrought
into ornament There is not an inch of it
but is a separate beauty. To convey to your
minds any idea of our thoughts and feelings
on visiting Westminster Abbey would be
impossible. History and poetry, royalty
and the deeds of royalty; the records of the
dead yet living, flitted in rapid review.
Westminster was opened August 4, 1885,
for funeral services in honor of our distin
guished citizen and soldier, TJ. S. Grant.
No such respect was ever before paid to any
American.
HISTORIC MELROSE ABBEY.
Melrose Abbey, in the pretty town of Mel
rose, Scotland, is admittedly one of the fin
est examples of Gothic architecture in the
country. The abbey is now the property of
the Duke of Buccleuch. The great window
of the south transept is a magnificent five
light window, richly decorated in the up
per part and in a complete state of preserva
tion. Although the window is 24 feet high,
the mullions which support it are only
eight inches thick above the apex of the
arch. There a niche once held a fig
ure of Christ and six niches on either side
were filled with the statues ot the Twelve
Apostles. Above the doorway inside a pas
sage runs along the wall with quaintly
carved figures ot musicians.
The graves of many illustrious dead have
been dug in the floor of the chancel and
choir. The heart of Robert Bruce is tradi
tionally reported to have been interred here,
after friend Douglass had failed to carry it
to Palestine.
"A flat mossy stone, broken across the
middle, is reported to be the grave of the
famous wizard or natural philosopher, Mi
chael Scott, whose magic books were buried
with him."
After describing Sir Walter Scott's home
at Abbottsford, the lecturer said: "From
Abbottsford we proceed toDryburgh Abbey.
The abbey is much overgrown with ivy,
and even trees are growing about some of
its arches. St. Mary's aisle is the spot to
which the steps of the tourist are first di
rected. "It is a small apartment, formerly the
right shoulder of the church. Here on Sep
tember 26, 1832, the remains of Sir Walter
Scott were laid beside those of his wife.
Both are buried under one massive slab of
granite, shaped to represent two altar tombs.
The only inscription on the tombstone is the
name and date of death. Opposite to the
entrance of the abbey is au old yew tree,
said to be 1,000 years old.
BUINS BICII IN SUGGESTION.
"Of the monastery nothing is entire but
the chapter house, St. Modan's Chapel and
the adjoining passages. A double circle on
the floor of the hall marks the spot where
the lounder of the abbey is buried. The
chapter house and the contiguous buildings
of the monks are of much greater antiquity
than the church. Among the places shown
to the visitors there is a cell or dungeon, ap
proDriated for a place of torture for refrac
tory monks. A hole is cut in the stone wall,
in which thebands of the victim were thrust
and wedged in with wood. The hole was so
placed that the prisoner must remain on his
knees.
"We now approach the memorial of Scot
land's ancient splendor, the ancient palace
and abbey of Holyrood. We are shown
the rooms Mary, Queen of Scots, last occu
pied, her bed chamber remaining as she left
it. It is full of relics sad mementoes of
one whose whole life was a melancholy his
tory, and over whose dark fate, even after
the lapse of centuries, the tear of sympathy
is wont to fall. The rooms have an ex
tremely antique expression. Its old-fashioned
furniture, ancient pictures, time-worn
and faded, all looking fragile, as if about
to fall to dust by the ravages of age. A
little cabinet adjoining is the place where
Bizzio was stabbed In Mary's arms m be
rushed to her for protection from his mur
derers. "Holyrood Chapel is all that remains of
the old abbey, and a considerable portion of
its architecture evidently belongs to a mush
later period. The arcade on the western
wall affords a beautitvl illustration of the
transition of the Norman into the Gothic
architecture, and the west front is for 'the
most part a fine specimen of the early En
glish style.
"The chapel has been the scene of many
interesting historical events. Charles the
First was here crowned King of Scotland,
James .II., James III., Queen Mary and
Darnley were married here."

In the first stage of consumption or earlv part of
the second stage, during the breaking; down pro

I can get the entire co-operation or the patient.
Even In the latter part of the second or early part
ofthe third and last stage, when cavities exist,
the distressing symptoms can be relieved and life
prolonged with comparative comfort.
Wm. C. Byers, M. D., No. Ul Perm Ave.,
Nose, Throat and Lung Specialist.
Since the Tabercnloaus Congress decided that
consumption is due to the presence of the tubercle
bacillus the pneumatic cabinet treatment has be
come the recognized mode of treatment among
all progressive and wideawake physicians. The
success 1 have had with this method or treatment
during the past three years is simply marvelous.
There are scores of people walking the streets or
Flttsbura- to-day who owe tbelr lives to it. and
will cheerfully testify to the fact. Jtlanr of them
never swallowed a mouthful of medicine during
the whole course of treatment, which makes their
recovery still more marvelous. By the cabinet
treatment antiseptic or germ-destroying sprays
are brought Into direct contact with the lung tu
sue. cleansing and applying medicine immedi
ately to the dlseated p irts. The treatments are
not at all unpleasant or bnrtful to the weakest
patients. I often put my little daughter In the

she has had pneumonia twice.
Opinions of Distinguished Phtsiciaxs.
Dr. Sidney i'ox, ofIlrookl;n.2i.Y.,inGalllard,a
Medical Monthly for June, 18.S3. says: "I am fa

pharmacopoeia that are used In lung troubles pre
scribed: and am also familiar with the injection
of cavities with the tincture of Iodine ana other
drugs, and In private practice with Borjeau's
apparatus. Inhalers, the oxygen treatment and
other methods; but I have discarded all and clung
to the cabinet, regarding it as theonly Instrument
ever devl'ed that meets all the requirements for
which It was Intended.1
Prof. J. T. Whlttaker, of Cincinnati, sava: "I
regard it as of Inestimable value,and would rather
part with any Instrument In my office than with
my Pneumatic Cabinet."

can only be thoroughly eradicated by combined
local and Internal treatment, and those trying
any other course are simply wasting their time
aud money and Jeopardizing ttielr'healthand even
lives. For out-of-town patients I have devised a
system of home treatment, combining both local
and Internal medication. Write for svmptom
