CHAPTER IV. (Continued.)
"Oh, poor thing! Joe ciuno home
drunk nnd knocked her about, and ono
of the neighbors, who couldn't hear it
tiny longer, went nnd fetched a pollee
man, and Jon was marched off, to poor
Janet's unutterable dismay," Miss
DImsdale lepllcd.
"Poor Janet!" murmured Dorothy,
softly.
"By the by, Joe Benhnm works for
you, David, doea he not?" Mlea DiniE
dalo asked,
"Yea, ho docs."
"I wonder could you do something?
1'oor Janet is in the most dreadful
trouble about him."
"Well, I'll go round and sco if you
like," David nnsweied; "but Bcnham's
an awful brute, and will drink all be
can get hold of to the end of the chap
ter. I don't know whether you havo
ever noticed it, Mls3 Dlmsdalo, but
somehow it seems to mo that almost
Invariably the women prefer to marry
the wrong men, and vice versa. Ixwk
at my own mother, for Instance; a
sweeter creature did not live, but she
wns never the right wife for my fnth"i
and nobody knew It better than him
self. Yes, and she knew It, too. She
always used to tell father that whan
ho went from Gravclelgh Hall to Dov
ercourt ho made the greatest mistake
of his life."
"Past Gravclelgh Hall, you mean,
David," put in Dorothy, sharply. "I
dare say ho knew very well what ho
was about, and took the one because he
could not get the other."
"My dears, my dears," cried Miss
Dltnsdalc, to whom all this was untold
agony, "let bygones bo bygones. I am
sure, David, that your father was In
love with your mother to the very end.
Really, tho young people of today taku
too much upon themselves nnd settle
the affairs of their elders In an off
hand way which Is positively inde
cent." There was n sound of tears In MI-:s
Dlmsdale's voice which went near to
betraying that this subject had more
than a common Interest for her. Dor
othy recognized dimly that her aunt
was pained by something that had
been said, nnd never sorry to have
an excuse for finding fault with Da
vid, sho turned sharply upon him.
"Really, David." sho cried, "it i3
very dishonorable of you to come tell
ing us whnt your mother UFed to say
to your father It could never have
been meant for ub to bear, probably
not for you, cither. They are both
dead, and their mistakes arc at an end.
We don't want to know anything about
them. For my part, David," she went
on, severely eyeing tho young mnn,
who had turned a flno scarlet huo at
her rather pointed remarks, "I must
say that I am surprised to And you arc
capable either of listening or of tat
tling about It afterwards."
He tried hard to laugh It off as If
sho had uttered some wonderful Joko,
sbut his face was burning with shame
and anger, too, and as soon as ho
conveniently could ho betook hlmscll
Hway.
"Dorothy, dear, you are a llttlo hard
on him," said Miss DImsdale, with a
sigh; after all, ho was her old love's
son, and his mother had been her dear
est friend.
"Not nt all," said Dorothy, sharply.
'David should keep his remlnlsccncos
to hlmseir."
"I wish you liked David better," said
Miss DImsdale, rather wistfully.
"So do I, auntie, for your sake," an
swered Dorothy. "You know I do. Hut
I don't llko him nt all; I never did I
novcr shall. I can't bear him, and if
David was n man," with withering
scorn, "he would take no for an answer
ami leave mo alone."
It happened that two days later than
this our frlond Dick Aylmer received
a letter, which ran thus:
"Your cousin" there was no affec
tionate prefix "Mary Annandalo,
writes to mo this morning to an
nounce her engagement and nppronch
lng marriage to Prlnco Louis Lorlnoff
so there Is half a million of money
lost to the family and thrown clean
out of the country. I sent wire of
congratulation, being too disgusted to
writo a letter. With you, you Infernal
young idiot, I haven't got tho patience
of a mouse I hopo you will livo to
bitterly repent it. Meantime keep
out of my way till I've got over It a bit,
and don't expect a penny beyond your
four hundred a year, because you won't
got It. And If I hear of your marry
ing nnybody under a hundred thou
sand pounds, I'll cut off your allow
ance. After you're forty wo can think
nbout it, nnd you need never expect
mo to fall In very quickly with your
Tlews, as you have not troubled your
Belt to fall In with mine. And I think
It only Just to toll you that it I have a
chance I shall marry again, In tho
hope of having an heir of my own.
Yours, "AYLMER."
DlcK read it and read It again nnd
then tossed it nsldo with a ehort
laugh.
"Nlco letter to have from one's near
est relative," ho said to himself. "He'll
'marry again In tho hopo of hnvlng an
heir of his own. Aye, but hor ladyship
Is aa tough as leather and as hard as
nails and she'll tnko good care ho
doesn't have that cbanco, Woil, with
a long bihnt-iwsflhatf sigh ami
half oiflrnu xsprcS"lon or roller, "ao
Mary Annandalo 1b going to Jve the
Princess Louis Lorlnoff! By Jove, I
don't envy Monsieur lo Prlnco! Not a
bit it It not oven for half u million of
iiibiicy. And I'm to keep out of hH
way. Well, I'll obey that command
with all tho pleasure In life. And
I'm not to marry before I'm forty
that's what It amounts to practically.
Well, I don't know that 1 mind th.it
very much do I? Ah! well, I don't
so much know about that I " and
then bo stopped short and fell Into n
sort of dream, a dream of himself
walking along a country road and by
side him "and, oh! damnation," said
Dick Aylmer nloud, "what did the
old brute want to write to mo for?"
Ho struck n match and set lire to the
letter; then a sudden thought occurred
to him and he crushed the llnmo out
and locked the letter carefully away In
his dispatch box. "I may find that rc-
mark about marrying again useful," he
said to himself. "Anyway, best to
keep It."
Hut though ho had locked the letter
away be could not put the thoughts of
It nwny from him as easily. Indeed, It
kept coming back to him again and
again, particularly that one unpalatable
sentence nbout him waiting till ho was
forty before ho need expect his unelc
to bear of bis marrying under a cer
tain amount of dower with tho bride.
Now, Dick Aylmer was utterly ig
norant of the circumstances in which
tho llttlo girl of his dream was placed.
Sho might have a dower, It might bo
largo or small, ho did not know; and
on the other band, it was more than
likely that she had not so much as a
penny In the world, somenow, al
though he had never been within the
precincts of Gravclelgh Hall, he had
an Idea that It was a placo without
much money behind It. True, tho beds
In front of the house were gay with
flowers and tho houso was largo nnd
of a certain nppcarance. But the hedges
which skirted the sloping meadow wore
none too well kept; the entrance gatci
needed a coat of paint bndly, and had
apparently got well used to tho neces
sity; the drive was not very well kept,
and altogether he fancied that Dorothy
Strode's dower would be but a thing of
small importance compared with his
unclo's Idea of what Dick's wlfo ought
to be possessed of.
Now, I may as well say here that
Dick Alymcr had made up his mind to
marry tho llttlo girl of his dream. It
might bo sooner or It might bo later,
but be meant to do It all the same. If
ho could get her sooner why, he
would; and if he could not get her ns
soon as he wanted her why, he would
over been In In nil his llfo. And, oh!
by Jove, ho reminded hlinnclf that h
had forgotten, or more correctly ho had
never known, what the old lady's naino
was. Dorothy had called her "auntie."
and he had naturally tnlil "your aunt,"
and he had come away without know
ing what her name nnd state wcr-'1
whether she was wife, widow or maid
However, he did not let that trouble
him much, and ho drove gayly nlotia
between the sweet wild hedgerow-steeling
ns If the soft September air, Just
tempered with n breczo off the sea,
wns air of an Arcadian lnnd, and such
objectlonablo persons as aristocratic re.
latlons did not exist in all the world.
And then when he reached Gravclelgh
tho long straggling village street with
its quaint old-world shops and Its odd
llttlo postolllee, ho pulled up tho good
horse and stopped to make Inquiries.
"Can you tell mo where Gravclelgh
Hall Is?" bo asked of a respectable
woman,
"Why, yes, sir you do go along that
road and tako the llrst turn to tho right
and then yo do come to it," sho re
plied. "Ah, thanks. By-the-bye, whnt if
the name of tho lady who lives theio?"
ho nsked, carelessly.
"Miss DImsdale, Bho do livo at the
Hall," the woman replied. "And Miss
Dorothy, she do live with her."
"Thank you very much," said Dick,
pleasantly.
The good woman watched him ns ho
drovo along. "Another of 'em after
Miss Dorothy," she said to herself.
And Dick drove gaily along, getting
more and more light hearted as he
went; for was ho not getting nearer
and nearer with every stride of old
Derby's logs to her? But ho did not
get to tho hnll without being further
watched. Scarce was ho past the end
of the village before he mot David Ste
venson, wearing the light clothes and
gaiters of a country gentleman who
looks after his own farming, and David
scowled nt him murderously. Happily
Dick neither saw his rival nor his
black looks, and drove on, flicking like
a schoolboy nt tho hedges as ho passed.
"Brutal Interloper!" David growled
out between his strong teeth, as he
stood leaning over tho gate, watching
tho retreating dog-cart. "Going there,
of course."

SH ALL probably
never f o r m a 1 1 y
launch my o it 1 y
daughter, Sylvia, In
society. This Is not
because I have an
aversion to society.
I respect It. Miss
Sylvia has reached
an ago when 1 con
sider It proper for
her to reiolvo at
tentions. I have no objections to her
receiving callers If the young mc n are
honorable and men of Integrity. I
don't give much time to thought about
marriage for Sylvia. 1 certainly have
not much time to consider It, and, at
any rate, 1 think those thlng.i conui
nnturally without any aid or Interfer
ence, from parents. I believe that young
people should be permitted to make
their choice, Independent of their el
ders. Of course, If one of my children
contemplated an unwise match I would
advise them as seemed to me best, but
I can't say that 1 would expect them
to govern their actions by that ad
vice. I would not wish my daughter
nor any other girl to marry for money.
Tho people who marry from any other
motive than lovo are not respectable.
Tho one thing 1 would Insist upon In
l son-in-law is that he be an honorable
man. I would want proof that ho was
lonorable. I regard the man who has
?ood principles and who lives up to
;hcm as an honnrablo man. He Is not,
Neither should It be any recommenda
tion. It Is only the question whether
It Is a man who we.irs It that need
concern us. Tho best men are not al
ways found In the churches. Somo
good ones aro found there, to be sure,
but they are also found In what tho
church calls 'the world.' 1 don't he-Ik-,
e a woman's life Is a blank If she
dowm't choose to marry. Sometimes
that course naves her from drawing a
blank. Girls should bo allowed to fol
low their own Inclinations In the mat
ter. If they prefer marriage the par
ents should not Interfere further than
to advise strongly that the girl muat
consldrr whether she Is marrying n
man of honor. That In the only essen
tial. Because I have been harassed by
sham law Milts ever since her birth I
have bad neither tlmo nor opportunity
for Sylvia's 'coming out.' A brown
stone front on Fifth uvenuo would bo
needed for such a function. My busi
ness cares and responsibilities do not
admit of such a llfu as that kind of a
heme Implies. We enjoy life quietly
In the summer nt Bellow's Falls. In
the winter we live at hotels. This ar
rangement Is not favorable to a socie
ty life, and so It happens that my
daughter ban never 'come out.' I do
not know that she will ever enter so
ciety. Her quiet tastes Indicate not;
but sho shall do as she likes. It Is
hard for mo to Imagine Sylvia a society
girl, for she Is fonder of quiet and
books and a few old-tlnio friends than
any display. She hi not naturally a
timid girl, but her fears have been so
wrought upon stories of the simples
nnd cranks who threaten us for tho
sake of extortion than she Is In con

SET FIRE TO THE LETTER
havo to wait; but as for waiting till his
savngo old unclo chose to say "yea or
nay" why, tho Idea was simply pre
posterous, and Dick put It aside at onco
as a contingency which could not be
considered for a moment. After all,
his marrlago wns his business, his nnd
nobody else's on his sldo; ho meant to
marry to pleaso himself, and his uncle
could go to tho deuce If ho liked. After
all, if ho did marry her or any oth
er girl that ho choso to marry, and his
unclo cut up rough over It, whnt could
hn do? He could, nnd probably would,
stop his allowanco Immediately. But
then ho had absolutely no guarantee
that tho old savago might not from
mero caprice do that at any moment,
when ho would havo no other course
open to him but to exchange Into a
regiment serving In India, nnd live on
his pay. So that, after all, what wa3
tho good of his depending too much
on his unclo, who would, If his wife
happened to dlo, assuredly marry again
on tho chnnco of having an heir who
wmild cut him out of his heritage?
All tho snmo, Dick Alymer did not
think that thcro was tho remotest
chnnco of his unclo's wlfo leaving tho
way clear for a successor her ladytfilp
was at least fifteen ycar3 younger than
her lord, and wns a woman of aggres
sively good health, which she kept in
perfect order by living by lino and
j-ulo; nnd ho reminded himself that
beyond stopping his allowanco anil
possibly having another heir, Lord
Aylmer was absolutely powerless to
lenvo one stick or stono away from
him tho property must go with tho
title to tho heir who was to follow
him.
A couple of days wont by, and Dick
Aylmer had almost forgotten his tin
cle'b lottcr In tho pleasuro of anticipa
tion, and by tho time ho turned out of
tho barrack gates, bound for Grave
lelsh Hall to make his formal call up
on Dorothy Strode's aunt, ho wns in as
I'rrdorlrk tho limit mill III Dogi,
Frederick the Great's fondness for
dogs amounted to n passion. Ho ul
ways had Jive or six Italian greyhounds
about him, leaping upon chairs and
sleeping on the couches In his room.
During his Inst illness he used to i.lt
on tho terraco at Sans Soucl and al
ways had a dog at his Bide occupying
another chair. He fed them hlmsolf,
played with them nnd permitted them
to tear, to their heart's content, his
damnsk chairs and otherwise injure
tho furniture, saying: "My dogs de
stroy my chairs; If I have them mend
ed .today, they would bo torn agiln
tomorrow, so I suppose I must bear
with the Inconvenience." One of
Frederick's dogs, Blche, nttnlncd his
toric celebrity. It Is stated that the
king took Blcho with him on the cam
paign of 1715. One day tho king, -td-
vancing on a rcconnoissance, was zur-
prised and pursued hy tho Austrlans.
Ho took refuge under a bridge, and,
wrapping Blcho in his cloak, held him
to his breast. Tho sagacious dog
seemed fully conscious of the peril ol
his master, and though of a nervous
tempernment and disposed to hnrk at
tho slightest disturbance, he remained
perfectly quiet until the Austrlnns had
passed. At tho battlo of Sohr, Blche
was taken captive with tho king's bag
gage. So much Joy did the dog maul
fest upon being restored to his mastei
that the king's eyes were flooded with
tears. Travelers visit tho tombB ol

times n very painful experlenco of,
tho fact that this is a high pressure

but this surely ought not to bo the
caso with our meals. It Is interesting
but not pretty, to watch tho buslnesi
man when ho goes Into a restaurant
for his luncheon. It Is with hint
looked upon In tho light of a duty nnd
not a pleasure. Ho must eat, nnd hi
feels that ho has only a few mlnutei

may bo back at his ofllco with all pos
sible speed. He attacks his food sav
agely, gulps down his beer or wine
and when tho lnst sad rites aro ovoi

Ortliiiforin Doim Wondrr for Ulcer
Ounrcru mill WoiiiiiIk.
Two German Investigators, MM. Eln
horn and Heinz, have discovered a,,
now nnaesthetlu agent to which they
havo given the naino orthoform, says
tho Paris Tempn. This substnnco bo
longs to tho chemical group of aro
matic umldo-ethors. It consists of a
white crystalline powder, without taato
or odor. It does nut readily dlssolvo
nnd Its action Is slow. But this fact
Is compensated for by tho duration of
the Inllueuco of tho substance. Ortho-
form Is produced with acids from sol
uble salts 'which possess anaesthotlc
properties. Applied to tho surfaco ot
a wound or an Irritated mucous mem
brane, orthoform, In n powder or oint
ment, produces Insensibility. Many
observations ot sufferers bring this
fact to light boldly. With bad burns
In particular and every ono known
how distressing theso aro orthoform
subdues tho liveliest pain In a fow
minutes, and Its effect lasts for hours.
Inasmuch ns orthoform Is not n poison
(rabbits and dogs may tako with Impu
nity from two to six grains a day), ono
mny safely mnko a fresh application
whon the anaesthetic Influence hnB be
gun to diminish. Ono discovers how
great l3 tho tolorntlon of it by tho or
ganism, for Instance, in a caso of can
cerous ulcer of tho face, which Is tho
seat ot such Intenso pain as to render
sleep Impossible. Tho ulcer Is sprin
kled with orthoform for a week anil
tho quantity applied may amount to
HCty grains. Tho patlont censes to suf
for and no Inconvenience follows tho
experiment. For tho torturo of cancer
of tho stomach Messrs. Elnhorn and
Heinz have administered many dose
of a gram In tho course of a single day.
It nfford3 great satisfaction In nil cases
of wounds or ulcers of tho skin nnd
mucous membrane, nnd, as It Is strong
ly antiseptic, It hastens recovory from"
bacterial ravngoB. It has no action on
unbroken skin, but its powerful in
fluence permits ono to regard It as suit
able for n local anesthetic In cases
whero ono Is to operato on n mucous

Tho various countries of the world

gay and lightsome a mood as ho bad age stamps.
to my mind, necessarily a man who
has none of what nro known as the
'bad habits.' I seo no objection to
smoking nor to an occasional glass of
liquor. Tho man who drinks only oc
casionally and never to excess seems
to mo tho truly temperate man. Thoro
Is a great misconception of the word
temperance. I do draw the lino nt
swearing. I scorn tho man who swears,
at least In the presenco of ladles. Tho
clubman Is not necessarily objection
able. My husband belongs to three
clubs nnd my son to flvo, and they are
both good men. I think tho good man
will bo a good man anywhere, and the
bad man tho same. It isn't a matter
of environment, but of good character
stuff. True gold remains the same no
matter how much dross Is about it. I
would not caro whether a man who
wished to become a member of my
family was city or country bred. 'A
man's a mau for a that.' It doe3 not
matter to mo whether a man Is from
America or Russia It ho Is a man of In
tegrity. I do not think a man who will
mnko a good husband need bo a man
of business training. I seo no advan
tage ot tho business man over tho
professional, or vice versa. It is nil n
question of a man finding what ho Is
adapted to and seeking thnt avenuo of
usofulnesB. I do not believe In tho
man who should hnve been a lawyer

havo had no sectarian bias on the

of this city, and schools for girls at
Morrlstown and Flushing. Sho gavo
attention to her studies to tho exclu
sion of parties nnd balls, and I mr.do
as much of a companion of her as It
was possible to do considering the ex
actions of business. She wns taught
that where her family la la home,
and fc'iat homo Is the center ot her uni
verse. Sho has been trained to the be
lief that clothes should always bo mod
est and appropriate. I have Impressed
upon her that the girl who loves God
nnd her BIblo develops right principles,
nnd that tho girl who has right prin
ciples docs not need lo be 'matrlmo
nlzed or 'chaperoned.' I havo told her
often that I do not like to see women
in tho business world, that It Is an un
natural llfo for them, nnd that they
should never go Into it unless thoy
are forced to do so. I havo not mado
a business woman of Sylvia. On the

Silk may bo restored by sponging,
and while quite damp it should be roll

more. Silk should never bo Ironed.
Housekeepers owning big, bandsomo

the bowls to hold tho blossoms.
When tho prudent woman removes
her veil sho rolls It between newspa

Washing clothes Is not wholly a
matter of friction, but a great doal
