Slic 'us 11
blooming, stiver-haired old lady, dressed
iu black satin, with a snowy tulle chemi
sette, a cap like a white rose, and little,
blue-veined hands; anu us she stood
leaning against one of the wis tarla
wieatlied column, of the piazza, she
eoulit see through tho cool perspective
<>t the parlors into a little library beyond,
where a young girl's figure knelt on the
i.oor, a wealth of jet-black hair stream
ing baok over her shoulders and her
luce hidden in the cushions of tho sofa.
'"She is seventeen, grandmamma."
said her son, a stout, bald-headed mem
ber of society; "and how much experi
ence do you suppose one requires to
teach two little robels of six aud eight
tears old their catochismand multiplica
tion table? I dote say she'll do ve: v
well."
"But, at all events," said Mrs. Vlllars.
with a true-hearted woman's quick sym
pathy, "she's miserable about sotne
.iug—homesick, perhaps, poor child
and I must go right away and comfort
•i.r."
And the first thing Hildegarge Russell
,knew old Mrs. Villars' velvet-soft band
was on her forehead.
"Child, child!" oooed the old lady,
"don't lie sobbing here, but get up and
let me brush out this long, beautiful liuir
of yours. "Are you really seventeen?"
a- that pale, statue-like face was turned
toward her. "You don't look as old as
that."
•'I was seventeen last month," said
Hildogarde, mournfully, "and I am so,
so wretched!"
"Pooh ! pooh!" said Grandmamma Vil
lars, cheerily, "as if a girl of your ago
had any business to bo wretched ! We'll
' chirk you up hero, or we'll know the rea
son why. Now, tell me, true and honest,
wjhat you were crying about?"
lint Hildogarde, although she smiled
faintly up through a chiaro of tears iuro
Vjv. Vlllars' face, and covered horpivlly
->. d hands with penitential kisses, would
confess no slugle word. She went about
her duties as governess that same afler
noou, however.
"Now that I have had my cry over, I
feet better," said she, softly.
oho told Mrs. Vlllars that she was au
orphan—that her father had been a rlcli
bo itheru planter, who had never
dicamed that his sole child and heire.-s
• would be obliged to avail herself of the
accomplishments in which he had de
lighted, to earn her bread. Nor would li
have been So, she simply added, if Uncle
Geoffrey had not invested her money in
a bubble concern, fondly hoping for
quadrupled roturns, und then bettered
matters by blowing his own brains out.
But when Estelle, Mrs. Villars' young-
est daughter, came home from a visit to
New York, Hildegasde opened hdr sh\
Heart farther still to tile rosy, swee:-
voioed, sympathetic girl:
"1 thought ho loved me for myseii
-•aione," Hildegardo whispered to her new
friend, "but when the news got abrouil
oi l_ uelo Geoffrey's suiofde, and my utter
• beggary—oh, Estelle. he wont away with
out a word or a note! He left my heurt
to break by inches."
"Then ho was a villian!" said Estelle
Villars, nodding her pretty little head.
"But I loved him, ICatelle."
"Do you love him still?"
Hildegurde's eyes fell before the clear
azure ray of Estelle's glance.
"No—yes—l hardly know whether I
do or not. Sometimes I tidnk I hate
him I"
"Tear him frotn the very outer vesti
bule of your heart, Hildegardo," coun
seled Estelle, taking both the cold hands
in her own. "He Is not worthy of a
dream—a thought—a solitary fancy. Be
lieve me, dearest, you have had a fortun
atJ escape from being his wife!"
"Ah, Estelle, it is plain to sec t hat
you never had your heart w recked !"
"N'o, and I never mean to. Dear Ilii
degarde, cheer up—all men are not like
this southern lover of yours. You are a
child yet, with a whole life-time of hap
piness before you."
And in the magic of Estelle Villars'
presence Hildegardo Russell grew lc*.-
gravo and sad—her dark eyes shone,
now and then, with a light other than
that of sorrow, and her bird-sweet, voice
sounded occasionally in a merry laugh.
"Hlie is very pretty," suid the grand
mama to Estelie. "I wonder now if
Charley Kartell were to come here qua
'visit, if she mightn't fancy him? 1
know he'd fall in iovo with her the first
thing—ho always was wild after that
Lai ia Rookli style of beauty—and Char
ley lias a Hue property, and would make
an excellent husband for any girl."
"Oh, not yet, mamma!" cried Es
tello, holding" up both hands depreciat
ingly. "We must wait a whole year ye! ;
you haven't any idea how sore her poor
little heart still is, after that cruel
wound!"
"Nonsense!" said grandmama, ener
getically, polishing her spectacle glasses.
"When I was a girl—"
"When you wore a girl, darling," inter
rupted Estello, "you had a splendid
lover, and a splendid husband, all to
J'Ourself, and so you can't judge in the
oast of poor, blighted Hildegarde!
Please let ino manage, mamma, If you
plAaso!"
Estelle and Hildegardo had a "con
ference" together on the jessawiue
soented back piazza that very evening
b£ moonlight.
"Ajpd he's really coming down hero to
eee you?" said HUddfcarde.
"Yes, he's really coming," said Es
' telle, demurely.
"And do you love him !"
"No, certainly not!" dissented the
young lady, with some energy. "Do you
•uppose 1 carry my heart on my sleeve
for every good-looking masculine elaw
to peck at?
"Is he handsome?" pursued HlWe
garde.
"Yes, very."
"Dark or fair?"
"Fair, with very large blue eyee—a
regular Apollo of a man."
"But do you think he cares for you
Estelle? Come, be frank with mo, that at
lea-d. I have told you everything."
"Well, yes; to tell you the honest
truth, 1 do think he's rather smitten
with me," said Estelle, with a slight
laugh.
"And you cau-4augh?" murmured Hil
degarde, roproaohfuliy.
"Why shouldn't I, child? Would you
have me cry about It?" vivaciously de
manded Estelle. "I can tell you I think
it is very good fun to be a pretty girl
with plenty of beaus. Time enough to
sit down and shed tears over the total
depravity of the world when I am a for
saken old maid."
"And that you will never be?" said
Hildegarde, with an affectionate little
sqeezo of her friend's rose-leaf hand.
Estello was more like her silver-haired
tnamma in more respeots than one.
"Nor you oither, eara mla, if I can
help it!"
"I! Ah!" sighed Hildegarde, "I am
quite a different persouuge 1"
"We shall both be married on the same
day, now sec If we aren't!" merrily went
on' Estelle, "only your inamorata shall
be lair au<l mine dark. You shall wear
pink roses in your hair, aud I will weat
white, an<l if anyone presumes to say
that vou make a bettor looking bride
than I do "
"Dear Estelle, don't I" pleaded Hilde
garde. "Hush ! there is some one com -
ing up the walk!"
And like a startlod fnwn ltlldegardi
Russell disappeared into her own room
before Estelle could lift a hand to detain
her.
Col. Suybrooke courteously lifted his
hat as he came up the broad graveled
path in the moonlight.
"A day before you were expootod?"
said Estelle, carelessly—he would have
given much to see the eriinson tlush 01
pleased consciousness which was not
there—"but none the less welcomo to
Jessamine Hill!"
He bowed low.
"I hope I havo not driven away your
sister, Miss Villars."
"She Is not my slßter and she has the
option of coming back again at any mo
ment that she pleases. Shall we go in?
The dew Is, perhaps, a little chilly out of
doors!"
So ended Col. Sayhrooko's hopes of a
moonlight tete-a-tete with the pretty
young heiress! Yet he was not alto
gether discouraged as he walked back to
the hotel after midnight. Girls are uai
urally oapriolyus, and an experience d
fisherman values his success the mote
highly in proportion as the pursuit is
difficult.
Hildegarde Russell opened the door ol'
her room as Estelle passed, singing along
the corridor with a night-lamp in hot
hand.
"Estello!" she whispered.
"Are you not asleep ye", Hildegarde?"
"No. Come in for m mite!"
The hand witli whim. drew Este! <
Villars In was chill and i.uuip—her laee
was strangely pallid in the flickering
spire o't light.
"F.stelle, it is hod"
"Who 1"
"Col. Saybrooke?"
"Of course it is Col. Seybrooke." snld
Estelle, sitting clown on the sofa beside
her friend. "I told you so before,
didn't I?"
••You never told me his name. Es
i telle, it was Leslie Saybrooke who loved
and wooed and deserted mo!"
Estelle Villars sat silently looking into
j Hildegat tie's white, agitated face.
"Can this be possible!" she exclaimed.
I haif-uloud.
I "Dear Estelle," pleaded Hildogarde,
- "do not listen to his love. Oh. if 1 could
! tell you the strange feelings that came
over me as 1 sat here listening to the
honey-sweet tones of his cruel voice! He
[• is false and wit kod and treacherous —the
I man who has willfully broken one girl's
I heart can never make a good husband to
I another! Estelle, Estello! promise me
that you will never be his wife !"
"I promise you," said Estelle, quietly :
aud now go to bed and seek the repose
you need so sadly, you poor startled
child !"
i "But I need not see him tomorrow?"
"Not unless you choose."
Col. Leslie Saybrooke spent the beau
tiful month of July scorching Ins
I moth-liko wings around the ilame of K--
teile Villars' beauty; and when the Au
gust moon hung its slender orescent ol
j gold in the violet west he asked her to be
his wife!
"My dear Col. Saybrooke," said Es
telle, demurely, "did you never hear the
charming old ballad :
"It's well to lie merry anil wise,
It's w*ll to bo holiest and true,
It's well to he off with the old love
Before you are on with the new I"
"I don't know what you mean, Miss
Villars,'' said the colonel, opening his
handsome blue eyes somewhat widet
i than usual.
"Don't you," said Estello. "Perhaps
j you may understand me better, then,
| when I remind you of a oertuin old en
-1 gagonient ol yours to Miss Hildegarde
Russell, of Charleston, South Carolina.''
I The colonel turned mahogany color,
I but he recovered his presence of mind
rather sooner than could have been ox
pected.
"Oh, that affair!" he said, smoothly.
"I never carod two straws for tho girl."
"Thou let mo tell you," saiu Estelle,
with rising color and sparkling eyes,
"that you are n villain, Col. Leslie Say
brooke, and there are two reasons why
Ido not marry you! One is that 1
| would never give my hand to any man
i on tho escutcheon of whoso honor lay n
i blight like your base dosertion of pool
Hildegarde Russell; the other is that 'i
i never cured two straws for you !' "
| And she made him a low courtesy and
glided out of the room.
"Crimes which tho law cannot punish,
eh?" sho said to horsolf. "Then there b
all the more roason that we women
should not aiiow thorn to go una.
vengocl."
In tho years which followed, Estello'fc
'playful prophecy was fulfilled. Sho and
Hildegarde were married on tho satin
day with rod aud white roses in theh
hair —married to good und leal husbands;
and Leslie Saybrooke is now a broken,
down gamester, haunting tho vurioc

CATARRH,
Catarrhal Deafness and Hay Fever.
A NEW lIOME TREATMENT.
Sufferers are not generally stware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to tlio presence of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eus
tachian tubes. Microscopic research, how
ever, lias proved this to be a fact and the
result is that a simple remedy lias been for
mulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications made
at home by the patient once in two weeks.
N. B.—For catarrhal discharges peculiar to
females (whites) this remedy 13 a specific.
A pamphlet explaining this new treatment
is sent on receipt of ten cents by A. 11.
DIXON & SON, m West King St., Toronto,
Canada.—Scientific American.
Sufferers from catarrhal troubles should
read the above carefully,
deeply
HOW IT WORKED.
" Good morning, Jack ! why I haven't
seen you for a month past. What in the
world is the matter with you ? You seem
to have renewed your youth."
" Well Phil, I have. Don't you remem
ber the last time I saw you, how misera
ble I was ? Sick and blue, and in that
sort of mood a man gets sometimes when
he feels the most noble thing in life is to
go straight to the devil."
" Not so bad as that, I hope ; at all
events you didn't go that way, you are
looking far too happy and hearty."
" Thank goodness, no ! or rather, thank
Vinegar Bitters. Do you remember that
day I saw you last, when you recommend
ed that remedy to me so persistently, and
I wis first vexed and then half convinced."
I remember it perfectly, and you
needn't say another word upon the sub
ject ; your looks tell me that you took the
medicine." *
"No doubt of it: everybody remarks
upon my improved looks and temper; but
I must really tell you all about it. I got
the old style, as you recommended, and
didn't mind the bitter taste at all. I fin
ished the bottle in about two weeks, and
was greatly improved, so much so that
I determined to change off and try the
new style.
" Well, how did you like it?"
' You told me your wife preferred th
new style, I believe; well, I must say lagre
with her. I like the old style very much
but the new is a finer, smoother, more ex
pensive preparation."
" I believe it is; in fact, I have heard
so, and 1 wonder the McDonald Drug
Company sell it for the same price they
do the old style, uecausc it is really a very
costly preparation."
" Well, that dosn't concern us. Who
was it said that people fancied themselves
pious sometimes when they were only
bilious ? No matter ! I was only going to
say that I believe people often seem wicked
when it is only their liver, or their stom
ach, or some other cantankerous organ of
the body so out of order they couldn't be
good if they tried."
"And if all the miserable dyspepsia,
and victims of biliousness, headache and
the thousand and one ills that tlesh is heir
to would only take Vinegar Bitters, what
a happy world this woidd be 1 "
" I should recommend the new style."
" I never go back on the old style."
" Well, they can pay their money and
take their choice, for both kinds work ad
mirably."
