I Shell F™*^ I I Wilde r. I CHAPTER II. “Now, VI," Hay* Ruby a few evening* later, seeking her cousin's room, ami speaking to her In a tone of confidence, “I want you to do me a favor this even ing." "All right, dear.” answer* Violet, 'oiling up the long plaits of her flaxen lia.ir with artistic precision. "How can I oblige you?" “Well, as you know, the Champleys , are i onilng In this evening for ome ramie, and I want you to prevent Shell from putting herself forward In any way and talking to them. She has •ui'h a strange blunt way with stran gers that I am always afraid of her 1olng or saying something outrngeous." ‘Tin sure you needn’t be." responds VI, looking rather astonished, "She was well named ‘Petri,’ for she hides herself In her shell as persistently as her namesake. He who finds out her true value will liava to he a very per •latent man." "Oh, she la a good deal sharper than you think,” says Ruby, with a little ■ neer; "ami at the same time she Is so extremely odd that I never feel saf" as to what she might say! I actually heard her confiding to the rector’s wlf" the other day that our stair-carpet had been turned four times,” “Well, and If she did, there was no haim in It,” declares Violet, who Is f*r more attached to Shell than to tin; brilliant Ruby. "Of course you don’t care, because It Is not your own home - you are only etaying here,” retorts Ruby bitterly— “but for my own part I think there Is iio need that our poverty should be exposed to strangers. If she g’-ts In io conversation witn rimer or me f'hairipley'u. 1 shouldn't In the least wonder at her telling them that our dinner la always badly cooked liecause we can't afford a new kitchen rang1." “I don't think she would,” laughed Violet. “She Is quite capable of It—s!in Is ao eccentric. What other girl would in sist upon being called 'Shell,' when rIip has such a pretty name? Nothing could he sweeter than Pearl: and yet. If oce dares to rail: her by her right name sfce I1lcu Into ona of her taut rum: 'Vlhe Is of a practical turn cf mind." laughs VI; “she thinks Pearl too fanci ful a name for a workaday mortal. I wonder what Induced aunt to name you three girls after precious stones?” “I really can't *ay," returns Ruby rather coldly; "perhaps the same rea son that induced ycur mother to narn0 you Violet.” ”0h, l was called Violet because my surname is• Flower!" explains VI, a shadow stealing over her face as her thoughts fly back to her lost mother. “It used to be a Joke of papa's that, even when I married I should not cease to be a flower.” "You are a flower of which I should be uncommonly afraid If you were not engaged." laughs Ruby. "Afraid—why?” asks Violet, opening wide her blue eyes. "Because you are so terribly pretty." answers Ruby truthfully. Violet knows full well that ghe Is pretty—her mirror tells her so, morn ing, noon and night—yet she likes to bear U again, even If only from Ituby. So she waxes amiable, and gives her cousin a faithful promise that any show of forwardness on Shell's part tihall be Instantly suppressed. As Violet foresaw, however, there Is little cause to fear any attempt at fa miliarity on Shell's part. The girl has gleaned from Ruby's constant allusions *o the Phampleys since their return home that her elder sister contemplates with hopeful confidence the possibility of becoming mistress of Champley House. So disgusted does Shell feel at tier sister's scarcely concealed scheme that she flrmly resolves to adopt a line of conduct so totally at variance to that of tin by that even the most obtuse man on earth must see at lenat that she has no desire to steal front him his free dom Kven when she heats tha> T<-d Chantpley. the hoy with whom she used to go blachbgrrylng and nulling.

"You seem to have become wonder fully Industrious since I saw you last.” he says, glancing anything but admir ingly at the pretty garland of flower* that la growing under her white fin gers. ''Yea; I am very fond of work. When you saw mu Ia*t I was a child; and children are eo stupid they never think of anything but play,'* returns Shell scornfully, pursuing her occupa tion as though her living depended up on It. "Upon my word,” laughs Ted, "it is my belief that a good many children aie wiser than their elders so obser vant, you know, and all that kind of thing. 1 really don't think you would class all children together again as be ing "stupid," If you only knew thoae little kids of Robert's; they are awful little sharpers.” "I suppose their father takes quite an Interest In them?” remarks Shell In a bored tone. nrr i nonunion ziarr.s at ner ror lomc momenta in amazement, then break* Into a rather mocking laugh.

"Is there anything under the sun that you do like?" r.sks Ted at la.;t, In a tone of desperation. "Ch, yea, several things,’ answers Shell briskly. “Let me see" reflec tively—"1 like work, and reading, and I am awfully fond of gooseberry-tart." Ted hut sis Into such a hearty pe3l o' laughter that Ruby—who Is engaged In singing a trio with VI and Robert Champley—give utterance to a false note. Shell, after a futile effort to con trol her trembling lips, Joins in his merriment. "No; hut, seriously," he says, when they have both done laughing, "you must have, I know, a few artls’ic tastns. I remember you used to play some very Jolly pieces, i.o you must be fond of music." Shell shakes her head In a despon dent manner. "No," she answers carelessly, "t have no talent for anything In particular. Of course 1 play a little anil I sketch a little; but 1 do nothing well enough for It to lie pleasing to anybody but myself.” "How do you know that If you uever give your friends the chance of Judg ing?'' asks Ted, still trying to strike some spark of emotion out of this stolid maiden.

It is a plcro that requires practic'd and very quick playing to render It even hearable as Shell had never had pa tience to read It quite through until this evening her performance 1s any thing but a brilliant one. CHAPTER III. Edward Champley, who has taken up his stand beside the piano In ex pectation of a musical treat, does his best to look cheerful under the Inflic tion; but his most determined efforts at politeness cannot prevent a faint gleam of hope stealing Into hlu eyes at the end of each variation. Even once he ventures on a rapturous ■'Thanks!"—-It is when, to his horror, he sees a minor key arrangement of the air looming up before him; but Shell only glances up for a moment, and says quietly— “Oh. I haven’t half finished yet!” Whereupon her victim offers an apol ogy and smiles a sickly smile, as he vainly trleo to count how many more pages there are to get through. And, whilst Edward Is enduring his self-inflicted martyrdom at one end of the room, his brother Robert is being Haltered, petted and n little bit lec tured at the other end by Ruby, "It was really too bad of you to stop away from champley House so long!” she says reproachfully. Robert Champley looks at her for a few moments before making any an swer. Unfortunately for Ruby's scheme, he Is a man who generally stops to think before he speaks, even on trivial subjects. "I shouldn't have come back now if It hadn't been for the children,” he says at length, with a sigh. Ruby catches the echo of that sigh and is all sympathy, II V . ..._I. .. tl... V k nMf very painful your return home must have been to you," she remark*. In a low and almost faltering tone, whilst her white eyelids veil her eyes In seemingly gad retrospect. Again he looks at her; then some what coldly gives utterance to the one word. "Thanks!” as If she had made him u speech which, though distaste ful. must he responded to In some way or other. "I hope you found the dear children all that yeti pictured them?" pursu«n Ruby softly. "Yes -oh. yes; they are merry little crickets, arid so m just about as happy as the day Is long!" answers Mr. Champley, whilst a softening smile re laxes his somewhat stern mouth, "It Is a terrible charge for you,” observes Ruby, her tone and looks full of the most profound pity. "How bo?" n*k* her companion, In evident surprise. Ruby feels somewhat taken aback. “Oh. it alway.i seems to me such an impossible thing for a man to know about children’s wants or ways!” she replies, with a little head-shake. Robert Champley gives a slight laugh. "I assure yew. both Bob and Meg have neither of them any scruples about expressing their wants," he says gaily; "and, as you know, I am very fortunate In my old housekeeper, Mrs. Tolley—she Is a perfect mother to the whole lot of us. The babies have a treasure of a nurse, too—-a sensible middle-aged woman; so on the whole I dare say we shall rub along very well." “I don't believe In any servant* be ing treasures," remarks Ruby skepti cally; "and. besides, your children must be too old now 'o be left entire ly to the charge of servants.” "Do you think so?" asks Mr. Champley In a pondering tone. “That is what I have been rather afraid of myself. Bob Is just seven, and poor little Meg live.'’ (To ba Continued.) NEVER CIVES UP ITS DEAD. I. uk« Superior Keep* lie Victim* lu 111* Depth* of It* Water*.

ME AHT-DISEASE. It Is cafe to ray that a far greater amount of misery is caused by suppos ed heart trouble than by actual disease of that organ. 'I his is due In the first place to the fact that supposed heart troubles, functional troubles, as they arc called, ate much more numerous than the real, the organic disease.-; ar.d in the second place to the fact that true heart disease shows itself with comparative Infrequency, by symptoms v. hb.h the patient himself can discover, whereas the palpitation*, the thumping In the chest, and the sound of surging blood In tin? cars, or the noise of the labored pumping, arc the common expressions of a nervous or functional disturbance of the heart's action. The most common causes of heart disease a«e dyspepsia, nervous prostra tion and excessive smoking. It Is often difficult to persuade the supposed sufferer from heart disease that the stomach Is the offending or gan. There may to no other dyspep tic symptoms, and It seems absurd to argue that one organ can be diseased without any symptoms, while another presents symptoms without being dis eased. Furthermore, some people feel a little consolatory pride In having a heart affection, and do not like their diagnosis to be brushed aside and their trouble referred to the unromantlc stomach. Such an unbeliever should credit hla doctor with good Intentions, at least, and give his treatment. a fair trial, when he will probably find that "his faith has made him whole,” and his heart disease will disappear a:i his di gestion Improves. One fairly distinctive difference be tween functional ar.d organic heart disease Is that the symptoms—the pal pitation, the Irregular pulse, and the consciousness of the In-art's action nre p»rslstent In cases of organic dis ease, but uncertain and of varying intensity I.1 i Mf# iniinimui iiiui lu’ty. A regularly Irregular pulie. for ex ample. Is more Hpt to belong to real disease of the heart; yet thin is not on Infallible rule, for the cause of the functional disturbance — excessive umoklng. for Instance may be *o con stantly active that the functional dis turbance Is allowed no rrcess. The anxiety aroused by the mpposed , resct ic of heart disease and the con sequent foreboding of sudden death have a very natural tendency also to Intensify and make permanent the dis quieting symptoms. The safest and wisest course for one who thinks be has heart disease is to seek the opinion and abide by the ad* vice of a .ikilinl physle'an, Self-da1! nosls and consequent worry are vmr • than I'seless. » I'rslli slues, It |s recorded of a young I » who ■ istted one of th« Hichs'hllds that be wai so ptoud ut Ms liialsi hits sleeve billions that h<< Insisted upon exhibit ill* them tu ht« host, The lettri bus ed at lliriU slid said ' Yes It Is a pretty alone t have a tl'SMetple*f made of It is the tie si room Mai j »r« ios-Mg. t eek 9 t ***« \ N* a York b*. terminal t sluts that be hs> ilteuo *1 stout s billon ■etuis on a I • kill lie Is ho t> a ■teal mam id Me would like to try that experiment Half the people i an s n die l*« k'g, nr sp'll. |9t si i outlaw* lo spiri.l a •real bat of ixdssi on hither sOu l St too * Pimples Are the dinger algnalt of impure blood.
