Not very long ago, a popular mngazlno published an editorial article in which Iho writer assorted, In substance, that all glsonso should lie regarded as criminal. Certain It Is, that tmii'h of tho sickness and suITorlug of mankind Is duo to tho violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should bo regarded as criminal, must appeal to ovory reasonable Individual us radically wrong. It would bo harsh, unsympathetic, cruol, yes criminal, to condemn tho poor, woak, ovor-worked housewife who sinks undor tho heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from woak nossos, various displacements of pelvic organs and other dorangoments peculiar to her sox.

Isabel Ht ill lingered by the picture. She whs aghast at the fact that Mr. Uaymond knew and was even fnmi)lnr with those beings. Yes; beings crea tures of that remote sphere which she only knew in her dreams. Standing nenr the portrait, sho ventured to look very timidly toward theso radiant crea tures. What did she boo? A young man half reclining in tho (loop embrasure of a window, with the summer sunshine be hind him nnd tho summer breezes flut tering his loose brown hair that durk, rich brown which Is only a warmer kind of black. She saw a man upon whom bonellcont or capricious nature, hi some fantastic moment, hnd lavished ull tho gifts that men most covet, that women most admire. Sho saw one of the handsomest faces ever seen since Napoleon, tho young comiucror of Italy, llrst dazzled regenerated Franco; a kind of face that is only familiar to us la a few old Italian portraits; a beautiful, dreamy, perfect face, oxqtilsito allko in form and color. Yes, capricious nature hnd showered her gifts upon Iloland Lunsdcll. She had made him hnndsoinc, and had at tuned his volco to a low, melodious music, and had made him sutllclently clever, and beyond all this hnd be stowed upon him that subtle attitude of grace which she, and she alone, can bestow. Ho was always graceful. In voluntarily and unconsciously ho fell liito harmonious attitudes. Tho lady who was called Gwendoline put up her eyeglass to look at another picture, and in that attitude Isabel had time to contemplate her, nnd saw that she, too, was graceful, and that In every fold of her simple dress It was only muslin, but quite a different fabric to Isabel's muslin there was an indescrib able harmony, wlilch stamped her as the creature of that splendid sphere which tho girl only knew in her books. Gcorgo came in while his wife was looking at Gwendoline, and Mr. Uay mond suddenly remembered tho young couple whom he had taken upon him self to chaperon. "I must Introduce you to some new friends of mine, Roland," he said; "and when you are 111 you must send for Mr. Gilbert, of Graybrldgo, who, I am given to understand, Is a very clever surgeon and whom 1 know to have tho best mornl region I ever hnd under my hand. Gilbert, my dear hoy, this Is Uoland Kansdoll. MIhs Gwendoline, Mrs. Gil bert Mr. Lansdell. But you know something about my friend Itolaud, I think: don't you. Isabel 'i" Mrs. Gilbert bowed and smiled and blushed in a pleasant bewilderment. To ho Introduced to two beings In this off hand manner was almost too much for Mr. Sleaford's daughter. A faint perfume of jasmine and nraugo blossoms floated toward her from Gwen doline's handkerchief, and she seemed to ice the falr-halrcd Indy who smiled at her, and tho dark-haired gentleman who had rison at her approach, through an odorous mist that confused her senses. ''1 think you know something of my friend Roland," Mr. Raymond repeated; "eh, my dear?" "Oh, n no, indeed," Isabel stammer ed; "1 never saw " "You never saw him before to-day," answered Mr. Raymond, laying his hand an the young man's shoulder with a kind of protecting tenderness In the gesture. "But you've roail his verses; those pret ty drawing room Byronics, rellned and ingllcized, that you told me you were to fond of don't you remember asking me who wrote the verses, Mrs. Gilbert? t told you the Allen was a country quire; and here he is a squire of high degree, as the old ballad has It." Isabel's heart gave a great throb, and her pale face Hushed all over with a faint carnation. To bo Introduced to a Being was something, but to be intro duced to a Being who was also a poet, nnd tho very poet whose rhapsodies were her last and favorite idolatry! She could not speak. Before she could recover her confusion Mr. Raymond had hooked his arm through that of Roland Lansdell, and the two moil had walked off together, talking with considerable animation. Isabel was left by the open window with Gwendoline and George, whose common sense pre icrved him serene nnd fearless in the presence of theso superior creatures. "You like my cousin's poetry, then, Mrs. Gilbert?" said Gwendoline. Her cousin! The dark-haired being ivas cousin to this fair-haired being In 'ic Parisian bonnet, a white chip lion et with just one feathery sprig of nioun hiin heather, and tho broad, thick, white silk strings tied under an aristocratic shin a determined chin, Mr. Raymond would havo told Isabel. Mrs. Gilbert took heart of grace, now that Roland Lansdell was out of hear ing, and said, "Oh, yes; sho was very, very fond of the 'Allen's Dreams;' they were so sweetly pretty." "Yes, thoy are pretty," Lady Gwen doline said, seating herself by the win dow, nnd playing with her bonnet strings as she spoke; "they aro very graceful. Do stt down, Mrs. Gilbert; these show places aro so fatiguing. I nm waiting for papa, who is talking politics with some people hi the hull. I nm very glad you like Roland's verses." Lady Gwendoline's pupu camo In pres ently to look for his daughter. He was Bonoral Angus Pierrepont Pomphrey, but he wore a black coat and gray trousers, T just llko other people, and had thick boots. He said, "Haw, hum yes, to bo sure, my dear," when Gwendoline told him that sho was ready to go homo; "been talking to With erst on very good fel low, Wltherston, very gentlemanly young f'ler, the son;" and then ho went to look for Roland, whom ho found In the next room with Charles Raymond, and then Gwendoline wished Isabel good morning and said something very kind to the ef fect that they should most likely meet again before long, Lowlands being so near Graybrldgo; and then the General offered his arm to his daughter. Sho took It, but sho looked back at her cousin, who was talking to Mr. Raymond, ami glancing every now nnd then in a half-amused, half-udmlrlng way at Isabel. "I am so glad to think you like my wretched scribble, Mrs. Gilbert," he suld, going up to her presently. Isabel blushed again, and said, "Oh, thank you; yes, they are very pretty." "You nro coming with us, I suppose, Roland?" Gwendoline said. "Oh, yes that Is to say, I'll see you to the carriage." "I thought you were coming to lunch eon," "No; I meant to come, but I must see that fellow Perclval, tho lawyer, you know, Gwendoline, and I want to have a little more talk with Raymond. You'll go on and show Mrs. Gilbert tho Murlllo In tho next room, Raymond? And I'll run and look for my cousin's cnrrloge, and then como hack." "Wo can find the carriage very well without you, Roland," Gwendoline an swered quickly. "Come, papa." Tho young man stopped, and a little shadow darkened over his face. "Did you really ask mo to luncheon?" he naid. "You roally volunteered to como, after breakfast this morning, when you pro posed bringing us here." "Did I? Oh, very well; In that case I shall let tho Perclval business stand over, and I shall rldo ro Oakbank to morrow morning, Raymond, and Ho on the grass and talk to you all day long, if you'll let mo waste your time for cu.-2 in a way. Good-by; good morning, Mrs. Gilbert. By the bye, how do you mean to finish the day, Raymond?" "I'm going to take Mr. nnd Mrs. Gil bert to Hurstonlolgh Grove; or rather they take me, for they've brought a bas ket that reminds ono of tho Derby day. We're going to picnic In the grove, and drink tea In a cottage in honor of IsaJ bel's Mrs. Gilbert's birthday." "You must como and picnic at Mord red some tiny. It's not as pretty as Hurstonlolgh, but we'll mnnago to nnd a rustic spot." The young man put on his hat, and went nfter his cousin nnd her father. Isabel saw liim walking along tho bright vista of rooms, nnd disappear In a burst of sunshine that Hooded the great hall when tho door was opened. The Beings were gone. For a brief interval she had been breathing the poetry of life; but sho fell buck now Into the sober prose, and thought that half the grandeur was gone with those aristocratic visit ors. "And how do you llko my young kins man?" Mr. Raymond asked presently. Isabel looked at him with surprise. "He Is your relation, Mr. Lansdell?" i'.... Ar ,i . .. i un. uiuiuur was a iunsdell. There's a sort of cousinship between uoland and me. lie's a good fellow, a very noble-hearted, hlirli-inlmloil vmin tr follow, but " But what? Mr. Raymond broke off with so duel) a sigh that Isabel im 11 f'ilinil an entire romance upon the strength of i lie inspiration. Hud he done anything wicked, that dark, beautiful creature, who only wanted the soul-harrowing memory of a crime to make him perfect? Had he lied his country, like Byron, or burled a fellow creature in a cave, like Mr. Aram? Isabel's eyes opened to their widest extent, nnd Charles Ray mind answered that inquiring glance. "I sigh when l speak of Roland," he said, "becauso I know the young man Is not happy. Ho stands quite alone in the world, and has moro money than he knows how to spend two very bad things for a young man. He's handsome aild fascinating another disadvantage and he's brilliant without being a genius. In short, he's just the sort of man to dawdle away the brightest years of his life in the drawing rooms of a lot of women, and take to writing cynical trnsh about better men In his old nge. I can see only ono hope of redemption for him, and that Is a happy marriage, a marriage with a sensible woman, who would get tho whip hand of him before he knew where he was. All the luckiest and hap piest men have been henpecked. Depend upon It, Mrs. Gilbert, tho men who lead great lives, and do noble deeds, nnd dlo happy deaths, are married men who mind their wives. I'm a bachelor, so of course I speak without prejudice. I do most heartily wish that Roland Lansdell may marry a good and sensible woman," "A good and senslblo woman." Isabel gave an Involuntary shudder. Surely, of all the creatures upon this over-populated earth, u sensible woman was tho very last whom Roland Lans dell ought to marry. He should marry somo lovely being in perpetual white muslin, with long, shimmering, golden hair tho dark mon always married fair womon in Isabel's novels a creature who would sit at his feet, and watch with him till dismal hours In the silent night; and who should be consumptive, and die somo evening with flowers upon her broast, and a smilo upon her face. The picnic seemed qulto a tamo thing after theso reveries In tho carriage." Tho orphans met tholr undo at the gate, and they all went across tho grass, just as they had gono before, to the little low iron gate which Mr. Raymond was privileged to open with a special key, and into the grove, where the wonderful beeches and oaks make a faint summer darkness. Was It tho samo grove? To Isabel it looked as if it had been made smaller since that other picnic; and the water fall, and the woodland vistas, and tho winding paths, and the arbor where they were to dine It was all very well for the orphans to clap their hands, and dart off at a tangent every now and then to gather Inconvenient wild flowers; but, after all, there was nothing so very beau tiful in Hurstonlclgh Grove. Isabel wandered a little away by her self while Mr. Rnymond and George and the orphans unpacked the basket. Sho was walking slowly along tho woodland pathway when she was star tled by a rustling of the branches a few paces further on, and looking up, with a sudden, half-frightened glance, she buw the tall figure of a mini between her urn) the sunlight. The man was Mr. Roland Lansdell, the author of "An Allen' Droams." "I'm afraid I startled you, Mrs. Gil bert," he said, taking off his hat and standing barchoaded, with the shadows of tho loaves flickering nnd trembling about him llko living things. "I thought I should find Mr. Rnymond here, as h said you were going to the picnic, and I want so much to talk to tho dear old boy. So, as they know mo at the lodge, I got them to let me go In." Isabel tried to soy something. Slid could not talk to this grand and beau tiful creature, who possessed In his own person all the attributes of her favorite heroes. She had a painful sense of her own de ficiency; she knew all at once that sho had no power to play the part she had so often fancied herself performing, to the ndmlration of supernumerary behold ers. But with all this pain ana mortifi cation thero mingled n vague, delicious happiness. Tho dream had come true at last. This was romance this was life. What did it matter, then, If she was fluttered and dazed and Intoxicated by his presence? What did It signify if the solid earth became empyrean air undei this foolish girl's footsteps? Mrs. Gil bert did not even nsk herself theso ques tions. She knew nothing, she thought nothing, except thnt n modern Lord By ron was walking by her side, and that it was but a very little way to the arbor. CHAPTER X. Roland Lansdell dined with his unclt and cousin nt Lowlands upon the daj after the picnic, but he said very little about his afternoon ramble In Ilurstou leigh Grove. Tho Lnnsdells of Mordred were not a long lived race, and Roland's father had died suddenly while the boy wa nway at school; but his mother, Anna Lansdell, only sister of tho General, lived to be her son's companion nnd friend In the best and brightest years of his life. His life seemed to lose its brightness when ho lost her, and this ono great grief, acting on a naturally pensive tem perament, must havo done much to con firm that morbid melancholy which over shadowed Mr. Lansdell's mind. His mother died, and the grand in ducement to do something good nnd gront which might have made her proud and happy died with with her. Rolund said that ho loft the purest half of his. heart behind him in the cemetery. Alnsl the great misery of his life atllicted him most terribly bore. He did not believe. For him thoro was no sweet whisper of the hope nud tho tempest of despair. In vain in vain he strove to look beyond the grave. lie prayed, but It may ha that he prayed nmlss, for tho light never camo to him. He was not too proud to seek for sympathy and consolntion from the person whom he loved next best to her whom he had lost. That person wns Gwendoline Pomphrey, his betrothed wife, the beloved niece of his dead mother. He was engaged, and he wns very much in love with his cousin. A two years' interval between their ages gave Gwendoline nn immense advantage over her lover; she practiced a thousand femi nine coquetries upon the simple, gener ous lad, nnd was proud of her power over him nnd very fond of him nfter her own fashion, which wns not a very warm ono, Her father hnd told her all about Ro land's circumstances, and that the set tlements would be very handsome. Roland went abroad with his dying mother. lie came back alone, six weeks after his mother's death, and went straight to Gwendoline for consolation. He found her in deep mourning, all a -glitter with bracelets and necklaces of shin ing jot, looking very fair and stately In her trailing black robes; but he found her drawing room filled with callers, nnd ho left her, wounded nnd angry. He thought her so much a part of himself thnt ho hnd expected to find her griel equnl to his own. He went to her again in a passionate outbreak of grief and an ger;' told her sho was cold-hearted and ungrateful, and that sho had never loved the aunt who had been almost a mother to her! Gwendoline was the last woman in tho world to submit to any such re proof. Sho was astounded by her lover's temerity. (To bo continued.) Now Uso lor Lightning.
