Miss Monica I'loweii, a graduate of Qlrton college, Oxford, where sho tins taken high honors In classical studios, is writing n book on Etruscan Suscophiigl, of which subject sho hns inailo a spe cialty. Sho Is a very good-looking, healthy, attractive young woman, and hns come to Llnnllhnngel, a seaooast vil lages In Waits, for cjulot recreation and to finish her book and rend the. proofs. At tho same cottage Is stopping Mr. Aithur 1'elew, n distinguished young ohcmlst and a grndunto of Cambridge unlveislty. They become acquainted, and Miss Frew on por inlts him to accompany her occasionally on her outings, He falls Molently In love A Ith her, and proposes to her ono day while they uro sitting by the shore. PART II. lie said It boldly, iiwkwaully, earn estly. Miss Fitvvem diew back, wholly surmised and taken ubaclc at his un expected offer. It was a minute before sho fully took In what he meant. Then eho looked at hlni quizzically. "You In tend this for a moposal?" she asked, cuilously. He seized her hand. "Yes, Monica," ho cilod. "Say jet to mel" Sho disengaged, him gently, yet firm ly and decisively. "Oh, no," sho cried: "Mr. Pelew, jou aio quite mistaken. I never even dieamt of It." "But why?" ho ciled. "Oh, why? You you have meant so much to me. You have given mo bitch fresh hopes, you have revolutionized llfo for mV' Sho looked back nt him with K'niT eyes. "Heeause," she said, flrt, ' I have my book to llnlsh," He pleaded with her eloquently. Ho would help her with tho book. Ho would leain all she wished. He vvcitll'I toll and sln e. Ho would become a pillar of Htiuscan learning. He bpgged his veiy best. At last Miss Fiuvvon was fain to speak tho tiuth. "Because Mr. Pelew, jou you do not nttiict me." "Absolutely?" "Absolutelj i" He let her hand dior for he had seized It again. He vvns a stone sut cophagus. She lose gently and with drew. When he got back to his loom he found a little note: "After what hos occurred I think we had better not meet again And I feel I must leave Lilunflhangel tomoirow. Monica Frew en " When an athletic young Englishman is 1 of used point-blank by the lady ot his choice he does not blow his bialns out: he woiks It off in boating. So Ai thin Pelew took a fisherman's boit nt once and letlied Into tho bay, vlieir the wind was llslng. He had only known Monica Frewen for tin eo shoit weeks, but thiee weeks nie more than enough to change the current of a life or to color a futuie. And Aithur Pelew was very much In loe with Miss Flew en. He could haidly himself have analysed his feel ings tow aid her. Thieo weeks before, ho was merely the aveiago young m.-.u of science, with a dognntl" conviction of the suillclency of matter, motion an I oueigy, and a somewhat ignoiant con tempt of all arts and giaces. Sae as a school of science, Oxford hid la'Jcn flat upon him. It had not given 1 1m expanshe tultuie But Monica rrevven was a different soit of unlveislty. Ho had never looked at an. Etruscan sar cophagus befoie though his outer eye had many times lighted upon ono; but now, when Miss Frewen unfolded her delicate iltavvlngs and expounded their meaning to him with glowing en thusiasm a young gill's enthusiasm ho was fairly can led away by her Im pulse e eloquence For a young girl is a joung gill still, e en when she di lates upon Poljnlces and Heteocles. You may think Polynlces and Hteocles diy, but that is your nanowness, le member how much depends upon the Polynlces-and-Hteocles-monger. Fiom Miss F: ewen's lips, Oieek accents would hae been cchanning, and San eklrt itself would hove llowed like an Italian melody. She made Arthur Pelew dimly aware of a ceitaln deficiency in his own cul tute. And the form tho conviction took with him was this when sho tnlked to him with all the foice of her mcgr.etlc personality, he felt quite as suied that the only thing in life woith a young man's while to do was to moiry Monica Fiewen, and pass his days with her In the study of Etiuscan sarcophagi. So Aithur Pelew lowed on and on, thinking only of the haul work of breasting the bieakers which, fortu- When we read ofamotherwho leaves her new. born babe shiv. enng on a door- &liptui:guaiui:u from the ele- p nients, and to suiter at the nurcy of stran gers, we won der at her cold heart and lack of mother-love. There are other wavs. than de sertion, of exposing a child to a life of suf feiing. The mother who, through ignorance or neglect of the health and vigor of the or gans that make motherhood possible, brings into the world a sick and puny child is at fault for the life of suffering to vv hlch it is condemned. If a woman would have healthy, robust, happy children, with bright futures, bhe must take proper care of her womanly self The best of all medicines for women is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly and only on the delicate and im portant organs that bear the burdens of ma ternity. It makes them strong and healthy. It prepares for wifehood and motherhood. Taken during the expectant period it ban ishes the usual discomforts and makes baby's coming easy and almost painless It insures a robust, healthy newcomer and ample, natural nourishment. Over oo,o women have testified to its merits over their signatures All good druggists sell it. Mrs. Ursula Dunham, of histersvllle, Tyler Co , W.

VwIIUlO --3uj4fo3 i i . ,. mm M Hi nately, inn high and of the way he had come to know Monica Fiewen It was a quaint little Idyll, peculiar to our time, and Impossible twenty years ago that Idyll of the Cambildge girl and the Oxfoid man, thiown to gether by accident In Mis. Giimths' lodgings, and flung into conveisatlon by dint of sheer pio.lm!ty. She had tisked him ono day: "Oh, would you mind my asking do you happen to have such a thing as a Llddpll and Scott with you?" and he had been forced to explain, with deep icgiet, that Llddoll and Scott was a closed book with him, he being wholly dev -ed to tho science of oisnnlc and In oiganlc natuic. Thence rose a gradual filendshlp, reluctant on Miss Fi ewen's part, very eager on Pelew 's. Foi, fiom the first moment ho saw her, a mlgh'y wave came over him, and he said to himself. "There stands a Woman!" In tho midst of which lellcctlons, a sea breaking over the boat suggested the drsliablllty of teturnlng to hnibor. Nevoi theless, for 'a minute or two, Arthur Pelew peislsted. He was not going to tuin back for a drop of wet on his Jeisey. He rowed on for a few stiokes without making much progress. Then a couple more seas, half diench Ing the cobble, made It clearer than be fore that the wind was llslng. He tinned and lowed back, the bieak ers still mounting. Mls Trewen sat by her window and gazed out. It was a waim summer evening, but the clouds looked stoimy. The sea was tunning high. A boat on the oiling scudded In before the bienk ei s. A man was lowintr It; but his woik counted for little. The bienkeis themselves were bearing him lapidly landwaid. "If tho cuirent catches him by the corner," Miss Fiewen thought to hei self, "It will go pietty haul with him; he must low for all he's woith to keep clear of the skenies." For acquaint ance with ntiuscan had not dulled Miss Frew en's senses to the passing collo quialisms of her native language. He diew neaior and neater. Then she saw It w as Pelew . The w aves w ore taking lilm exactly wheie she expected. In a moment she giusped the lisk, and lushed out upon the beach. Sho began to wave her hands frantically to warn him off tho locks. But the young man himself by this time was fully alive to his own danger. He bent to the oais and lowed for dear life ngalnst the sweeping1 cuirent. All to no purpose, a sulil sot in lound the base of the stacks which ono man was absolutely poweiless to stein. He made no headway. Next instant, the stieam caught the boat, tw Irled it off from tho Hi st stack, and sent it, broadside on, with a feat ful whltl against the second. Miss Fiewen wrung her hands. "He's lost!" she cried. "He's lost!" And as sho spoke, a head appealed bobbing about In the water. As for the boat, It had dls appeaied 'licked clean below with the whiilpool of the undettow. She tinned to the llshcimen on tho beach. "You'll put out for him?" she ciied. But the men shook their heads. "No, Miss," they answeied. "It issn't an good. You couldn't save him fiom that sea. Water iims too high. You'd loose yourself in saving him." In a second, Monica Fiewen lemem bered the ten Ible coast superstition which she had henid again since she came to L,lanllhangel. lively year the sea demands a lctlm; eeiy jear the e".

She laid her hand on a cobble. "Will none of you come with me?" she asked, beginning to haul It senwaid. But not a man of them moved. They looked at one another, held back, and mutteied. "He's di owning!" the bill ctled. "Are you men, that you won't save him?" But still, tho supeistitious fear of the hungry sea held them back. No one gave her a helping hand She hauled the boat down alone, and jumped into It, terrified. Fortunntely, sho had been a boatln" woman at Git ton, and experience of weirs had given hor some idea of how to manage back cunent. Taking ad vantage of these, she succeeded In pull ing within rench of Aithur Pelew He was swimming desperately through the eddies and swirls that surrounded the stacks, his clothes torn by tho sharp locks, and his hands bleeding pitiably. She held the boat off with the sweep, and let him catch the han dle. With ono Inst effoit he climbed over the edge and seated himself, drip ping nnd lagged, beside her. "Row, low!" Miss Frovven cried; and, seizing an oar, he lowed with whatever force he had still left in him. Miss Fiewen towed too; but for a minute It seemed as If the sea and tho skeirles weie really going to claim them. "At least." Miss Fiewen said, "If we go down, we shnll go down together!" With a violent stiugglo they just denied tho locks, Then the waves caught them up, cairled them nlong on their crest and landed them with ono w lid dash upon tho beach, smashing the bow of the cobble, They sci ambled ashore, both wet, and looked at each other ruefully. M,lss Frewpn was the first to speak, "1 think," she said, in her austerest tone, "you'd better uo home nt once, change your things and bandage your self."

About nine o'clock a timid lap came at her dooi A white fate looked In. "May I speak with you?" It said, pleadingly. "I thought we had said good-bye," Miss Frewen answered. Tho white face pushed Itself In, fol lowed by its npputtenanoos. Aithur Pelew seized her hand. "Oh, It was so biave of you!" he cilod "When none of those men would stir! After that, you won't say me nay! You would not have me saved fiom the sea that was taking mo If you had not meant" Miss Fiewen diew heiself un and looked at him fixedly. "Mi. Pelew," s-lie said, though her voice trembled a little, "I went to save you as I would have gone to save any other fellow creatine. I meant nothing special by it. I have no doubt, in past times, a woman who saved a man's lift might have felt bound to many him I do not My pieferences sue founded, not on acci dents of situation, but on more solid leasons. I could not accept you when you asked me this afternoon. Nothing that I know of has since occurred to make me think dlffeiently. I do not see how tho unessential fact that I helped to pull you out of the water when you weio appai ently drowning can make any dilference to the fundamental question whether you are ornie not the sort of person with whom I would choose to pass a lifetime." The liteslstlble logic of It struck Ar thur Pelew dumb He could only stam mei out: "Then your answer Is final! there Is no mote hope for me?" "No mote hope, I'm afraid," Miss Frewen answeied, faltering, and blushed away a tear, For she was leally sorry for him. Aithur Pelew turned aside and lushed fiom the loom. But he made up his mind from that moment forth to devote the lemalnder of his eaithly life to the dillsent study of Htruscan snicophagi. "After all," he thought to himself, "with a woman like that thcio is still a hope, If I could make myself fit fot her." TIIE END. MARKETS AND STOCKS. n Street llewuvv.
