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

to go blachbgrrylng and nulling. Is
coining down with Robert, she makes
up her sensible Utile mind to be civil
to him nothing more.

In the silk she Is using, and till she has
fully accomplished that intricate feat
she Ignores the fact even that she has
been spoken to; then, turning upon
him with keen eyes, which look almost
piercingly dark in the lump-light, she
says quietly—
"I beg your pardon.”
Ted Champley feels taken back; Ills
remark—which savors In his own mind
slightly of the sentimental, and Indeed
was made in somewhat sentimental
tone cannot lie repeated In face of
that stoild air of Indifference on Shell's
part; so he ( hangea his former conver
sation for another.
"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.

" A"e||, yci Robert doea take a de

"No, of ion rue that would account

noring the ring of sarcasm in Ted’s
voice.
’’I don’t see how any one could help
liking them poor little beggar*!’’ con
tinue* the young man 1 lunily, and In
a voice that speaks volumes of wonder
at his companion’s heartlessncs*.
Shell breaks Into rather an affected
little laugh.

"have I shocked you? If so, you mn*t
please forgive me; for I don’t like chil
dren.’’
Teil niakp* no remark for a few mo
ments. hut Hits watching her with keen
scrutinizing eyes, expecting every in
itant that some relenting dimple
round her lips would belle her word*;
hut no—Shell work* on In serene un
ronsclousnesH, with her well-poUed
head a little on one side, and all her
attention apparently fixed upon her
work.
"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

"How do you know that If you uever

some spark of emotion out of this
stolid maiden.
"Oh. they are ijulte at liberty to

passes ou, whilst Shell, selecting from
the long disused contents of the drawer
a dreary sing-song air, sits down at
the piano and commences to wade la
boriously and in a very mechanical
way through Its twelve variations. 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.'’

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
