A FATHER'S SECRET.
EMILY VANE sat In the drawing
room window which overlooked
the sea and the Cleveland hills,
but she saw neither sea nor bills. She
and her father, with the servants, had
been now some Ave weeks at Saltburn,
la a large house which Mr. Vane had
rented for the Bummer. Henry Vano,
Esq., owned a good-sized mansion iu
Belgravla, where be had lived for the
past eight years during the London sea
son, and an estate near Nottingham,
amid picturesque scenery, where he
generally resided when not In London.
Each summer, however, he rented his
house at Saltburn; for not only Emily,
but himself too, was charmed with the
quiet, beautiful Yorkshire watering
place. From all of which it wiU be at
once surmised that Henry Vane, Esq,
was a man of wealth.
Ills money had been acquired abroad,
and though of his family nothing or
little was known in society, he was
well received by some excellent houses;
for even a titled person does not care
lightly to offend one whose income 1
f40.CK).
Emily Vano saw neither sea nor hills.
Her thoughts were wholly occupied
by two letters in front of her. Both
had come that morning, and both were
proposals for her band. The first of
them was from the Earl of Seacroft,
who for some time bad been paving
MIms Vane noticeable attentions, aud
who, both aji regarded personal quali
ties and position, was Indeed no bad
match for any English maiden. Ho
ivas yet young and fairly wealthy, and
for some months in fact, since Emily
hnd "come out" had been a victim to
her beauty and charms. She admitted
to herself tharlxrd Seacroft's proposaJ
was not one to be lightly set aside.
The other letter was from Mr. Hn
bert Wells. Emily hud met him about
six months ao, at a country house,
since which time he had been her de
voted admirer. She frankly confessed
to herself Unit she liked him, that she
liked his society, that she knew that
he loved her. ltut Hubert Wells was
lint rich, and hud no particular posi
tion. He had only about 400 a year,
uliUli his father, long si lice dead, had
left bint to live tiiou.
Kuiliy Vane still sat, looking first at
this ro;K:il, then at that. !Slie had
for the past week or two, expected
both, and so unsettled and doubtful
was -sin' that slit? had given neither
suitor niiy chance of projiosiug person
ally. I'.nt now it had come both on
'ne nioi niiif,'! The ordeal had to bo
fared; the decision to be made! Her
pride, her love for her father, her wish
to raise the name of Vane, said "Sea
croft;" yet there was a small voice un
derneath which whispered, "Hubert."
In her perplexity 8ae picked the
letters, and went to see her father In
his study. Emily Vane's mother had
died at her birth; her father was her
closest confidant. As Emily entered
he rose up and kissed her lovingly,
then, smoothing her hair, said, quietly:
"Which of the two Is It to be, love?"
The lleautiful girl gazed at him with
eyes hlif dimmed with tears, aa she
answered, blushingly:
"Whichever my papa likes! He al
nays chooses for the best."
"Well, my dar, suppose I should say
Lord Si-aoroft? I have always wished
such a husband for you titled, yet
noble hi nature's best way."
"Yes. papa."
"Yet I like this Mr. Wells."
Emily's heart beat a shade quicker.
"He cannot give you what the Earl
of Seacroft can, and what I have so
often pictured you; and yet and yet
he is his father's son!"
The girl gazed, half In fear and as
tonishment, for her father waa as pale
as lien th. and shook visibly.
"What Is it, papa?" she said.
"Sit down, my love," replied Mr.
Vane. "It has only coiue. as I felt cer
tain some day It would. God has
brought it out In his time. I must tell
you now. Don't be afraid, Emily. It
Is the secret of my life which I've hid
den for thirty-five yearn; now you must
share It. I feel I should not be doing
rikrht If I let you choose to-day without
telling you ot it. When you have heard
uiy story you must choose for yourself,
aud be assured your choice, whichever
It is. will please me. As for what you
will hear, it will remain your secret
and mine: I shall keep It as before, and
I luust U'g of you to do the same all
your life, even from your husband."

Emily sat in doubt and fear, sure
(hat the kind father who had so loved
her would not tell anything to distress
her, if he could help It; t anx
ious as to what such an MJ secret

that term is. For there can be only one best in anything one best

the rub ! You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but
J how test sarsaparilla ? You could, if you were chemists. But then,
do you need to test it? The World's Fair Committee tested it, and

tthis sarsaparilla test result in? Every make of sarsaparilla shut out
of the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's was the only
S sarsaoarilla admitted to the World's Fair. The committee found it
2 the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best.
And as the best, Ayer's Sarsaparilla received the medal and awards

Botany Bay, under the command or a
brave captain and crew. There were
no fewer than forty convicts on board
desperate fellows of every descrip

ers, all kinds of villains. Among
them was one whose case had ex a tea
much Interest at borne, since many peo-,
pie believed him Innocent morally, at
any rate of & crime he waa said to,

poachers one night he, their superior In
rank, had had the misfortune to shoot
one of the keepers who watched for

baty killed the keeper, but there was
some doubt aa to whose gun It had
come from, and, when the convict lD ,

the keepers swore that he had fired the .
shot. For himself, he knew not wneth- j

in reality, he was as bad as the rest.
So he waa closely guarded.
"It was touching at Perth that the
captain's opportunity came. Having
secured the co-operation of his mates,
he entertained the whole of the guards
to dinner one evening, and made them
helplessly drunk. Iu the meantime one
of his party contrived to secure posses
sion of the keys, and In a few moments
the convict's irons had been unloos

himself came aud shook hands with
him ere he sent him off lu the boat
which was waiting for him.

had landed him on the mainland. He
watched it return to the ship and then
departed.

"It was six years after this that, with
money made in sheep farming, Joseph
Turnell, the former convict, turned up
at Ballarat Just as the first rush of the
gold fever occurred.
It was Turnell
who bought the great tract of land
which was afterward discovered to be
almost wholly gold under the surface,
and who sold It after getting some
thousands out of it for a very large
sum. But nobody In England or Aus

mentioned, ever thought for a moment
that be was the escaped convict about
whom such a stir had been made at
home, both on his escape and later,
when a dying tramp confessed that it
was his gunshot that memorable night
which killed the keeper.
"Joseph Turnell waa wealthy, and
had married a dear girl In Victoria,
who had borne him a daughter ere she
died. Need I go on, Emily T Tou have

Care or the Feet.
Faithful care of the feet has mott

young ladles are inclined to believe,
Thev must be kept warm and com
fortable by proper coverings, and b)
daily bathing and rubbing.
No part of the body requires bath
i Ing more than the soles of the feet.
The pores here are very active and
should be kept open.
All hardeulng and callousing of the
feet should be avoided if possible.
If the feet are given to excessive
perspiration a few drops of ammonia
should be added to their daily bath ot
water.
If they burn, or are very . tender,
bathe them in weak alum water.
The water should always be warm.

Cut the corns down as much as
possible, without making them sore,
then rub on the oil, night and morn

put this between the toes over the

the surname first and follow it with
the Christian name. One of the can

street residence several days ago. A
bright, cheerful looking young girl
came to tbe door. He asked her name.
"My name?" she answered, with a lit
tle wonder in her tone. "My name la
Bertie Cross." She watched closely as
he wrote, "Cross, Bertie." Then she
exclaimed, "Don't you dare to put my

pretty lake, like most of the sheets of

Its peculiar freak Is attributed to a dis
position to celebrate the slaughter of
Burgundlana under Charles tbe Bold
on June 21, But the French say
that It blushes for the conduct of the
Swiss, who In that battle gave the Bur
gundlana no Quarter. This year it was
redder than over, and had a sinister ap
pearance when the setting sun Illumin
ated its waves.
This phenomenon, of course, has Its
legend. The old fishermen of the lake,
who catch enormous fish called sllures
that weigh between twenty-live and
forty kilograms, say when they see the
waters of the lake reddening that It Is
tbe blood of the Burgundlana As a
matter of fact, some of the bodies of
the Burgundlana killed In the battle
were thrown into the lake, while others
were tossed into a grave filled with
quicklime. This historical recollection
angered the Burgundlana soldiers ol
tbe victorious armies of the republic
in 1708 so much that they destroyed
the monument raised in honor of their
compatriots who fell heroically in that
battle, and Henri Martin very Jnstly
reproached them for that piece of van-
It would hardly do to attribute the
reddening of I2ie waters of the lake to
the blood of the. soldiers of Charles the
Bold. The coloring Is due simply to the

thing about it Is that Lake Morat is the

on the highway, both being mounted
and both having their rifles. They
opened fire on seeing each other, and
three shots were fired by each. One
man, George Phillips, received all three
of his opponent's bullets, the third pen
etrating his brain and killing him In

was hit by two bullets, and fell uncon
