On a certain Sinnltiy in July an un

the oiijrrejwtion in the church of Sur

and a strikingly lic:;iit:ful one,

MrsChirhaJ lately lost her hus

aiul not J-ein-r inconsolahly U'reavcl,
the subject of lHVomini hahiliiiK'nts f

Mr.-. Stajikton, the owner of a pret
ty plac? called Trown Lle and the
I'lLt'ii of S.rhy suciety, lmkcil uneasi
ly at her son, a tail, fair youn; man a
little over twenty-five, her only child,
and the centre of all h. r hop-sand am
bitions. Ever since Fred Staplvton's return
from Kton lie had been tlie o-.jeet of
adoration to all the youn ladU-s with
in miles of .Sorby ; hut Mrs Stapleton
h:id lii;her aspiralions or her son, and
Fred w:m tin-piestionably struck with
the rratv ami In-auty of the new-comer,
for liclicld his hymn-lMKk upside down
and went astray iu his ivsji-ins-.'s
Connected with the p trish of S.irby
was a larire estate called llarnascone
Priory sadly neglected n w, but nev
er! iieless very Ik-autiful and offrrat
value when risrhtly managed. The
sole lieiress to this line property was a
d.'seeiidant of Lord lt-rrisford, who
had lieeii larn in Italy ati.l brought tip
in that country and America. She
had married a very ric'i American,
who had diet! three months after his
marriage, leaving lu-r his entire for
tune.
Xo-.v, at the age of twenty-two years
the beniuifti. Mrs. Ha.':V.'M wai intend
ing to visit for the lirst time in h-r life
!u-r Irish inheritamv, I5arn.ise.ni?
Priory, an 1 1 m k?ae 1 1 liiiianer wU!i
the friends .f her long-since tlecjased
parents
All these piriicilars Mrs Stapleton
learneil from a friend, L.nly Jo.s;'p!iine
Parr, who lived at Floreiuvand was a
otifidant of Mrs Hadi'le'.d. Mrs Sta
plvton's fancy had c.:n; e.I a charm
ing idyl in which her son was master
of Iiarnasc-Hie, with its b-autiful mis
tress as his wie the alien c iuld not
f til to lose her heart 1 1 Fre 1 when she
ni tde t'ie tnuch-talked-of-visit ti Sir
by, and Fritl was luckily free of any
o'.hcr cngagem -nt. Now her plans
wcr.' ni-'iiacj 1 by a gre.it li:ig.T in the
pT.on of the mysterious stranger who
fr'.ii the lir-t stviii'-il to have fascinatetl
Fred.
The next day Mi-w Pilky, Mrs Sta
pleton's maid and confidant, night
lier nii.stro.'n presence with signs t.f
high ilungetiii on her rlorid face.
"What d yo;i think, ma'am?" she
said indignantly, "Mrs Doughis, us
culls herself, is in the ros? garden at
llarnaseone, with me o' them lwt tea
roses iu her button-hole ; she is pryin'
and pokiu' alout cverywluTe, liHikin'
in at the windows ami askiu' Patsy all
sorts of impertinent questions If she
was mistress of every inch of the ground
she couhlii't give herself more airs ;
her wiles and guiles ati'l half-crowns
where a shilling would be too much
have made that fxil Patsy and the rest
of them ready to stand on their wood
en heads for her !"
In Mrs Slapleton's mental vision
Rarniiscfiue Priorj- wass. nearly in her
son's iiossession that she allowed hcr-
self an occasional liU'rty within its sa
cred precinl-s, but for other tresspassers
she had little mercy.
"We must warn Nanny at the bulge
I against admitting suspicious-looking
persons," she siiid, wit'i considerable
warmth.
"That woman isn't all that she
ought to be, I'm quite sure!" contin
ued Pilley, with a wise shake of the
head. "Mrs Pawson tells me she has
taken a fancy to that low-lived, disre
putable Trixie WaMi, and lets Iter wait
on her and follow her ahiut like a dog.
'My beautiful Madonna!' Trixie calls
L:t. ' Siich vulgur absurd nonsense ! I
wish we were well rid of the whole
underbred lot !"
Peatrice, or Trixie Walsh was a half
tamed gypsy of Italian blood who had
Ik-cii left a baby at the door of a farm
house near Sorby. Charity and chance
had br night her up to young woman
hood guiltless of any sjn.vial misde
meanor; but jieopJe looked at her ask
ance and predicted a bad ending for
her liecause she delighted in bright
colors and was often found dancing to
her shadow in the moonlight.
One day the pretty dark-rolieil stran
ger, Mrs Stap'.cbm's detestation, stood
on the iiank of a hike within the 15ar-
nascoiie domain, trying in vain to
reach some water-lillies
"I,ct me help you !" slid a voice
from the laurel walk ; and Fred Staple-
ton hastened down to the water's edge.
"Oh, thank you ; but I'm afrifid you
will wet your feet I"
"Terrible risk, is it not ?" replied the
young man, as up to his kniekerliock-
cre 1 knees lie plunged in boldly among
the sedge and reeds. I le returned with
an armful of splendid lillies, which he
laid reverently at tiie lady's feet.
Though he had seen heronlyafew
times bv chance and had never dared
to speak to her until now, Mrs Staple
ton's son ami heir was deeply in love
with thefa'rstr.ingvr in widow's weeds.
Life seemed but to have begun for him
since she came, and would last just so
long as the light of her presence shone
iiKn dull Sirby.
"We are Ix.th tri-ssp.is.scr in these
grounds, IsupKisc?" the lady said in
the course of the chat as easily as if
their siciiuaiiitance had existed for
years.
"That i uis 1 not cause us uneasiness,
as the owner is an incorrigible nbscii
t.v." "Doyoti know the owner of liarnas
cone?" "I have not that pleasure, and I find
existence ipiite !. -arable without it."
"Is site pretty?''
"They say so. All women with her
wealth are pretty and charming, you
know. She has never Vcn here, and
I cannot vouch for lu-r n pp. a ranee or
manner."
"I'ich twiil Vnutiful what an envia
ble condition for most women ! How I
wi.-li such gocl fortune were mine !"
They sti.I nothing which Pilley
might not have heard and rejieated, yet
their l.x.ks and tones in which their
Ciitii:no:i-p!aees were uttered p irtended
. Linger.
"Trixie has j ist been here mVain, in
great grief lee:.tise she has no mourn
ing to wear tit Mike Finnau-.in's funer
al," sai.l i:iia, Mrs D .uglass' attend
ant, when Mrs Douglass returned
from her stroll.
"Why didn't you give her something
of mine?"
"There is the first evcry-day c i.s'ume
you Uiuglit ; it has grown rather .-dials-by
for you."
"Yes, l,t Trixie have that bonnet,
veil, and all ; a complete outfit will go
far to assuage any grief she may feci."
A day or two before Mike Finna :au
w is "waked" and buried Trixie array
ed hi r-lt in Mrs D..u.''.as' garni nts,
and by the aid of a mirror siw that the
eilect was good. She was of the same
height as her lx ncfactress and very
similar i:i figure.
"I I.xik like a lady," she muttt-n.il.
"How I wish Larry could see me ! I
will go to Clover IJeiid and show my
self to him."
Larry Vv'helan was a fine-looking
young scapegrace employed about the
grounds at llamasc-me. He never
seemed t- fatigle himself with bard
w irk, and iie always managed to wear
g.xxl clothes, "lie and Trixie had a
h iIf-Uiirrels une, lial'-jealou.s liking for
each other, "a well-m itched pair of
ne'er-do-weels," the better portion of
Sorby called them.
Arrayed in lu-r siMe roiies, Trixie be
t ! ok herself to Clover Ilend, to the
cibin of tiranny McCb.ry. Tiie nld
crone, who turned many a jviiiiy at
fortuue-teliing, was Larry's aunt and
the source of most of his p n-ket money.
It happened that on the tifteriKxm
chosen by Trixie for masquerading
her ni turning clothes, Mrs Stapleton
sent Pilley toCiowr llen.l with a bun
dle of tlinnels for a certain washerwoman'-,
baby. As Pilley p issed old
M tlber McClory's cabin, she could not
resist the temptation to glance in at
the open door. Wh it she saw to;k
away her breath.
"I was th it struek of a heap, ma'am,
that I almost dropped Molly's flannels
in inn l!" Pilley said toiler mistress
when she returned to Trown L xlge.
L -coking in at that dirty disiionest old
witch's do.ir, who sh oil I I see set tin'
at the table with L irry Whelati and
l itlu-r M'-t'lory, with a filthy pack of
car ls spread out on the table and a jug
of p trier for the three of th.-m whotl
y.i'i think sat there, m t'am, but the
woman who gives herself s-.u-h airs and
c ills herself Mr. D.tugl.is from I.os
ton ?"
"Impissiiile, Piiley; you m ist be
mistaken !"
"X-.t a bit of it, ma'am ! Is th -re an
other such papist looking black dress
and veil in all Sirby? Wouldn't she
be known for miles around by the little
peaked bmn.-t? To Ik? sure I didn't
see her face; but the shap; of her
shoulders and hick I know already tx
well from seeing th-em in church,
which is no lit place for such as her!"
"Mother," siiil Fred, entering at the
conclusion of one of Pilley's explosive
sentences' "aren't you or s uue of the
ladies of the parish going tJCillupin
Mrs IVtuglas and invite her to the
lawn-p irty next week? It is a church
atl'air, and her mourning-garb would
not lie out of place. It is very inhitspit
ui.lenot to include in your church fes
tivities strangers who. go to church."
"Indeed, Mr. Fred," exclaimed Pil
ley "the likes o' her isn't wanted in the
company your mother keeps! Listen
till you hear what I saw to-day ;" and
the irate woman repeated tlu history
i f her visit to Clover lk-ud.

j claimed young Stapleton angrily. "You
( women are disgustingly jealom of ore
' another. If Mrs D-ttigbis were not
, the Ix-nutiful high-bred creature she is
there would not lx a word uttered
against her !" and be left the nx.m,
to;t indignant to say more.
"D.ttr, dear," said Mrs. Stapleton,
"the Ixiy is completely infatuated by
that woman ! The mistress of Parnas
cine may arrive at any time now ; and
Fre.1 is quite capable of taking up the
cudgels for this disreputable foreigner,
and then alas for his chances with Ior
oihea !"
In the quiet grounds of Harnascone
Fred Stapleton sought IkiIiii for bis in
jured feelings in the c::np.iny of Mrs
D iu g his, and the scene he had just
passed through inclined him a s'x-cial
tenderness of manner. Never U-fore
had she st-cmed so lovely and d' -sir-abhor
so gentle and con tiding. She was
sitting under a wide-spreading oak,
making a cowslip ball. Fred, lying on
the grass at her feet, watched her deft
fingers and the changing expression of
her lovely face, conscious that be could
know no happier hour than the one
that was passing.
A sudden breeze sprang up, and was
the cause of a painful interruption to
their tete-a-tete. A gardener had care
lessly left hanging in the branches of
the oak a sharp toothed-rake, which
was blown down, and in its fall would
have dealt Freda serious blow had not
his companion seen the danger iu time
to divert the course of the iron teeth.
The handle of the rake struck Mrs
Douglas' plump white wri-t, inflicting
a bruise.
"You have hurt yourself, and for my
up worthy sake !" the young man ex
claimed, impulsively seizing tiie wound
ed wrist and kissing it tenderly. He
th'-n bound it up in his silk h ind ker
chief and, full of solicitude, escorted
the fair sulfcrer through the park, final
ly leaving her in the hands of her faith
ful attendant Klia.
Having once worn her pretty lx-ne-factres.s'
clothes witli tine clt'ect Trixie
was em.Milileiicd to rejieat the perform
ance, p-irticularly as the fascinating
I.arrv commented warmlv on her dis
tinguished apixtiraiice.
Mrs Douglas' bruised wrist kept her
a prisoner in the house on the day after
the mishap with the rake ; and Trixie
t'X.k advantage of this fact to don the
black rol.es again. At nightfall she
ventured forth on her second escapade,
and Ix-took hcr.-4-lf to tiie Iiurcl Walk
at ISarnascone.
It was not until dusk that day that
Fred Stapleton was at lilx-rty to go to
iniiuire as to the extent of Mrs. Ixug
lass injur! -s; then he plunged through
a portion of tiie shrublx-ry at Uarnas
coiieat tiie shortest way to his destina
tion. Iu the Laurel Walk he caught a
glimpse of two slowly-retreating ri ir
ures those of a woman and a man.
The npjx-aramv of the woman immedi
ately arrested his attention and set bis
heart lieating rapidly. I'nsccn, he
drew a few yards nearer.
Were his eyes playing him a trick?
X ; be saw clearly and unmistakably
the black draperies and nun-like biu
ni't of the lovely woman who tilled all
his thoughts It was impossible to f.iil
to recognize the c: Mimic ofcictste ch
g.ituv and the graceful slender figure.
II. -r companion was in:i other tha'i
the village reprobate, Larry Wlchm.
Why was she talking with such a
fellow at nightfall in th retirement of
It.irnascune? Fre.l watched the p.iir
ii.irr twly, wit'.i jealous distrust rising
iu his heart. Pilley's story of thescetie
in ( iranny MeL'iory's c ibiu ascirn -d a
hateful aspect. Oradually the man's
arm stole round the black rolx-d-waist,
an I then the widow's b timet fojtila
resting-place on here imp anion's shoul
der. Stapleton was fully satisfied ; with
a i imprecation, he dashed Uick by
the way he had come, uttering to him
self "Arrant fail that I am ! I in ay at
lea-t spare myself the trouble of mak
ing a'iy kindly inquiries alxmt her
health ; her presence here speaks for
her recovery. If it had been any other
ni in, I might have Ixire it ; but Larry
Whclan, that vulgar fellow given to
glass jewelry amazing !"
Mrs IVtuglas lay on her couch, with
F.Iiza attending to her wounded wrist.
Tiie day had Uvn Ion.r, and the fair
sufl'erer was disipp iinte-1 b.v.riie nt
one hid com' to ask about her welfare.
"He might have shown a little c im
passion, when I was injured in s'.iield
him," sie said to herself, wit'.i quiver
ing lips.
Tiie elite of S irby were on their way
to n:i l ret lrn'mg from a gardcii-jiarty
at Mrs Clegg's, and Mrs Hawson's
lo lgT found a qualified pleasure in
watehing them until Fred Stapleton
Hau.it -red p ist with Miss Hrauson,
pen fie pleasure gave place to some-
'mu akin t juiiti.
Lucy Branson was a pretty girl, and,
next to the stranger lu-irv-ss i.fliamas-
oo:ie, the best mitrimmial c.itc!i in
Sorby, judgeil fronia p j:i ls-shillings-and-pe:iee
point of view. Fre.l looked
unusually handsome and seemed in the
bi-st of spirits Tiie pretty sutlerer o;i
the sofa turned away her face with a
sigh.
"People are not very hospitable hen-,
are they, Kliza?"
"Ind-eeland ti ley' re not, ma'am a
stuck-up, still", uuderbr.il lot ! It's
hot with rage I am, watchin' them
dow ly worn .'ii goin' to their tea-parties
and tennis-playiii's without bavin' the
decency to ask you, as if the worst o
the like.4 o' you wsiK"t 1-etter than the
best o' them ! Not one o' them even
had the civility to call on you."
"Still, Klizi, we must rememU-r that
we have not been quite straightf'Tward
with them. We are here under false
colors yon know."
"They don't know that, ma'am ; you
have liehaved yourself as a lady ought,
and they sh.tuld have treated you like
one."
"We cannot do letter than remain
faithful to the villa at Fit-sole for a
while longer, and let Sorby take care of
itself. To-morrow, if my wrl-t U wi ll
en ugh, we will go away."
As her handmaid withdrew to attend
to the welcome work of packing, Mrs
Douglas fell into a reverie.
"They little suspect," she mused,

So, snying, Mrs Ixmglasm:ide a neat
package of the handkerchief which
had h-cii b luud round her wrist, and
addrcssi-d it to "Frederick Stapleton,
I'lsq., Trown Islge." Aeeomiany the
package was a brief note of thanks, to
which she ap'x-iidcd her full name,
"Dorothea Douglas-Hadtield, nee Ilcr
risford, of H.irnascoue."
0:i the following dry th? notice
"Il.i'Kiis to Let" again hung iu Mrs.
Pawsoti's window ; her bxlgers hud
gone she knew not whither.
That day the consternation of Mrs.
Stapleton and Pilley knew no Ixiunds
Fred had ilropjxsl Mrs Doughis-Had-ficld's
note into bis mother's lap, with
some withering sarcastic remark alxntt
women's ability to judge each other.
The maddening jn-rplexities of the
whole attair rendered him well-nigh
beside himself. What could it all
mean? The handwriting was that of
a lady, the style faultless, and the p:qx-r
l-i.re the Icarna-cone crest.
In a fever of !uht and perplexity he
ordered his horse and gave it free rein
It t'X.k him across country to l!.is.. tt.
Passing the Fannagan's bumble dwell
ing, Fred was electrified by a tableau
that met bis gaze. Mike's mourning
relatives and friends were di-pirting
themselves on the grass ( )ne af them,
w'.io wore black garments the cut of
which was Ktinfully familiar to him,
was at that moment, amid shouts of
m Trim -nt, taking a whiff at a short
black pipe, the smoke from which par
tially veiled tiie white crajs- cap inside
the girl's bonnet.
"What infernal jugglery is this?"
muttered the amazed Fred to himself,
as be s-i-1 lenly pulled up his horse.
"II i.v came you by those clothes
Trisie?" he a-ked of the rose-fa.id las
sie with the cutty pipe iu her brown
fingers.
Young Mr. Frel was a favorite with
the gipsy maiden, and she was always
ready for a chat with him.
"Mrs Douglas gave them to nt-.- the
saints bless her soul !"
"Where has ohe gone? Do you
know?"
"To a place where there ain't no
streets uor horses, nor nothing where
they gix-s about in long black bials
and dances in the mixmlight all night.
My eyes, but I wish she iiad taken me
t.xi r
"Ven'uv V Fred exclaimed half aud
ibly, with a ibvp sigh of relief.
Not until months later did Trixie un-der-tand
what she had down to earn
the bright gold sovereign which Mr.
Fred dropped into her brown palm.
A week later, as Mrs Dou-tlas-H ad
field sat in the Piazza San Marco lis
tening to the m isic, a gentleman
proaehed and U-gg.d the favor of a few
moments' c hi versa t ion. Th" gviitle
in in was Fred Stapleton, and bis re
quest was icily granted.
Iradaally the ice melted however,
and a smile of am.isem -nt illuminated
D Tot Ilea's beautiful face.
"Dine with methis evening, Mr. Sta
pleton, and then you cm give me every
particular of your niht entertaining
story," she said at the close of their
rir-t interview on Italian soil.
A few months later Sorby was wildly
excited over tiie preparations for fitly
weh lining home Mr. Fred Stapleton
and his lovely bride Ixirothea, mistress
of I5arna.-c-.inc'.
How to Breathe.
It is all-imiN.rtaiit, in order to pre
serve the system from slnx-k and the
danger tif c-uitaminatio:i by foreign
sui .stances, that U-fore the air enters
the lungs it should lie made as nearly
as possible of the same temperature as
the hlixxl, and should U deprived of
all particle's of dust, which might be a
hindrance to tiie Uxlly functions
Tiie entire i-ourseof the tortuous nasal
canals is lined with mucous membrane,
and this membrane is of a highly
vascular structure1. That is to say, the
whole tissue Is flushed with blood by a
perfect network of vessels, over which
the air we breathe passes, and from
which it borrows the requisite lu-aL
The mucus se-crcted by the membranes
is also advantageous iu rendering the
atmosphere suitably moist.
Iu the light of the-se considerations,
the ditt'eretice U'tweeii air breathed in
through the nose and that taken in by
the mouth Ixvomes at once apparent.
I:i tiie first case it is gently drawn in
through the winding canals and Is
tempered and purit'ieil on the way ;
while the air that reaches the lungs by
way of the mouth comes upon them all
at once, and U identical in nature with
the surrounding atmosphere, whether
that lie warm or cold, dry or moist,
full of dust, or free from it.
Of not less importance than the
Ix-netits accruing to the whole system
from properly breathing through the
nose, are those that result to the nasal
membranes themselves. In the pnx-es.s
of imparting heart and moisture to the
air as it passes over them, the tissues
are prevented from accumulating au
oviTsupidy of mucus, and any exevss
of blood pressure iu the iiarts is relieved
by the contact of the cimiI air constantly
breathed in. One investigator haseveii
gone so far as to assert that many
forms of coliLs may lie greatly !enefite-d
by a correct breathing exercise taken
every few hours
However that may lie, it Is certain
that the disadvantage of luouth
breathing are bxt numerous and glaring
to lte lightly passed over. Youth'
men work hard after they get
uH enough to know better.

Tryiflj To Catch Up.
On !x card a HaltiimTe train pulling
into Parkersbiirg was a lxk agent
whose demeanor conveyed the impres

"Mr. Conductor, what tim? do we
