I've : i case there that will detain mo for the night , " rejoined the doctor curtly. "Thanks , over so much. I bellovo I'll bo off then. Your patient Is open- ng her eyes ; the rest of the passon- jers seem sorting themselves. Let me see , there's a child that belongs to thlri ivoman somewhere. " And , glancing round , he saw Janctta , faithful to her trust , urmted on the bank with the child ho sought In her arms. lie nmlled and lifted his hat. "Lot r'.o relieve you of your burden , ' 10 said , a certain tenderness In his volco as ho looked at the little child. 'There , don't cry" to the little one 'mammy's all right. " IIo carried It oft as gently as a tjiunn would have done ; then ho re turned to Janetta , standing by her with a certain hesitation. "I luive turned up a friend' here who kindly offers his dogcart to forward mo to my destination. Can I be of any service to you ? I expect thor will be a train presently to carry on the passengers. Is It an Impertinence to ask whore you are going ? " Janetta rose , with a feeling of Htllf- ncss In her limbs and4 some unsteadi ness of motion. The shock had half dazed 1ier. "I'm going to the Qrangf , Northcllff , " she said. "How very odd ! I'm bound for the same place. Under the circumstances , we had better go on together. I'll * peak to Drake about It. Sit down again a minute. You look as If tli" accident had been too much for your nerves , " he said , smiling pleasantly. "Kindly tell me your name , and I'll see that your luggage and my own im- forwarded to us later. " "I'm Miss Howard. " "Thank you. Then I'll see if there is luggage for the names of Howard and Merivale to be rescued from the debris , and then we'll get on as fast as we can. As Miss Seymour is deli cate , It might bo serious If she heard rumors of an uci'ldent to our train be fore wo arrived. "Invalid ! " ejaculated .lanetta , as her companion hurried off to complete his preparations ; "and 1 should not won der If this Mr. Merivale were a nephew of the old lady. Very likely has ex pectations ! " Once fairly started in the brisk evening air , Janetta's courage an.l Spirits began to revive , and she could hardly help smiling at the curious po sition in which she found herself , seat ed side by side with a complete stran ger In a borrowed dogcart , going to a lady of whom she knew absolutely nothing but the name. "It Is certainly a curious coincidence that you and I should bo bound for the same house , " began Mr. MerLvale ; "but it is still more curious to me that , often as I am down at the Orange , I have not heard your name mentioned before. " "That Is easily explained. 1 an swered Mlas Seymour's advertisement for a companion , and she Is kind enough to give me a trial. We have not met , " said .Tancttn simply. Her companion turned quickly , and , In the half light , gave a swift , scruti nizing glance , accompanied by a smile , of which Janetta found It hard to ex plain the meaning. It was half amused and half Incredulous. He made no sort of comment upon her explana tion , but turned the conversation rap idly to other channels. "He knows all about that eccentric old lady's advertisement , " she thought. Mr. Merivale chatted rtwuv so ucrec- tlily on many topics and the ten miles' ; lrlvo passed so quickly that Janettu ave a little start of astonishment when Mr. Merivale pointed with his whip to the twinkling lights of the , little harbor , and told her that thpy were within half a mile of their des tination. It was quite dark as they drove through the cobbled streets of the little town ; then , by a sharp ascent , they climbed the hill Just outside It , and , turning Into a drlvcgate &ct open to receive them , drew up at the door- of a long , low , Irregularly built II IIRC ; Mr. Merivale jumped to the groiur'l and threw the reins to the groom , gently lifting Janctta out of tlio cart. The next Instant they were admitted by an extremely smart parlormaid Into the low , oak-pannellcd hall , where a log-flre blazed cheerily on the hearth. A lady of between sixty and seventy , whoHe gown rustled as she moved , ad vanced to meet her. "Allow me to Introduce Miss How ard , " said Mr. Merivale. CHAPTER III. Janetta's heart sank. The stern fea tures of the lady to whom she was In troduced scarcely relaxed Into a smile , nnd a cold hand held her own. "Como In , Miss Howard. Your train must have been very late ; we expected you more than an hour ago. " "There was an accident. The train ran off the line , I think , and we were landed , Mr. Merlvalo and I " "Captain Merivale , " corrected her listener , Janetta glanced round quickly to sco If Captain Merlvalo had followed , and wna llKtpnlng to the correction ; but ho wiis nowhere to bo Keen. "We had not met before. I did not know that ho was Captain Merivale by Intuition ; hut he wan very anxious that you should not he frightened on his account , Miss Seymour. He told me that you were not strong. " A smile crossed tlio nnrrow face a mirthless smile. "I am not Miss Seymour. It l.s many years Hlnec any one troubled himself to consider my feelings. I am Mrs. Mortimer , Miss Seymour's lady housekeeper. Until lately I believed myself also to be her companion ; but I'm dull , apparently , and getting old. I'm not enough for her , and I am to be .supplanted by you. " Janctta tretehed out her hands eagerly , appcallngly , a great sorrow filling her heart for the woman before her , with whom the world had evi dently dealt so hardly. "Not supplanted , " she said , "only supplemented. I don't know what Miss Seymour's wants mny be , but let mo help you any way I can. 1 don't care what I do. You can put mo into the way of things , toll mo my duties , anil glvo me a hint when I make a mistake. " "You will have no duties , " replied the elder woman coldly , looking at the outstretched hands , but not taking them Into her own. "You are young and good-looking ; they are the only qualifications which Miss Seymour .seems to require. She will sc > , ' you , she says , after dinner. Shall 1 show you to your room ? " Janctta followed her up the tlilek- ly-carpeted stairs into a room so lux uriously furnished that she could hardly believe that It was' the ono intended for her , except that her fur coat had been already carried up thorp , with such other possessions as she had with her in the carriage. Sl'f found Mrs. Mortimer still alone when she wont downstairs. "Captain Merivale dines tonight witli Miss Seymour In her boudoir , " fho explained as she led the way Into the dining room. "Sometimes Miss Seymour l.s well enough to dine with us , but todny she has been ovor-cxcit- ing herself , and was so tired that I advised her remaining upstairs. " Janctta would have liked to have asked a hundred questions ahout Miss Seymour , but the presence of the par lormaid and the forbidding manner of her companion made her curb her curi osity. They had scarcely returned to the drawing room before a message was delivered to Janetta to demand her presence In Miss Seymour's room. "You can show Miss Howard the way to your mistress' room , Mason , " said Mrs. Mortimer. And Janetta fol lowed the maid. She was ushered into a sitting room more perfect in detail than any she had ever entered. It was a general scn e of beauty and luxury that struck her at first , for her attention centered Itself at once upon its only occupant , a fragile , fair little lady , quite young , who lay upon the couch that was drawn near the fire. She raised herself to a sitting pos ture , and held out her hand with a tjmilc of welcome. "I'm afraid you must come to me , Miss Howard , I'm too tired to get up to greet you. Sit down near me , will you ? I sent Harry off to the smoking room , as I told him I wanted to talk to you alone for a bit. " Janetta shook hands , seated herself in the easy chair to which Miss Spy- mour pointed , and wondered If she dreamed. This , then , was the Miss Seymour she had pictured as an 'ec ' centric old maid , devoted to poodles and parrots ! Even her views about Captain Meri vale needed readjusting. Clearly he was not a nephew with expectations ! More probably a cousin , possibly a lover. The thoughts passed rapidly through her mind until , raising her eyes , she was conscious that she was being watched eagerly by her companion. There was something intensely at tractive in the face that looked into her own. It must have been very pretty until Ill-health and delicacy had written their lines on It. Even now the shape of It waa charming. The llaxen hair that waved on the forehead was abundant and beautifully dressed , the folds of white silk and soft-fall ing lace wore becomingly arranged round the tiny throat ; but oh ! how delicate she looked. Something of the pity that Janctta felt must have found expression In her face , for Miss Sey mour broke the bllcnco with petulant laugh. "You are berry for me , like every one else I read It In your eyes ; but I'm not going to die. I'm going to get well , or nil the doctors Ho. " "I devoutly hope you will , and quickly , " replied Janetta gently ; "and you must tell me what I can do to help you. I'm sure I could carry you , you are so light and small. " Miss Seymour broke Into merry laughter. " 1 don't want you for hard labor. I wonder If you thought It was a lunatic who put that advertisement Into the paper ? Harry declared that nobody In her senses would answer It , but many did. "I had over two hundred answers , so many that 1 would not even open them all. I liked your photo. I thought you were pretty and looked true , pq J told Mrs. Mortimer to take your letter and answer It , as If from mo , and to return all the others. "It was Doctor Drake's suggestion- " tU- man you saw at the train tonight. Harry tolls me that ho scented the ac cident from afar , and was on the scene almost directly It happened. Ho IH called clever , but he docs not cure me. me."Well "Well , he found me crying ono day , and ho said 1 ought to have some ono bright , and young nnd good-tempered about me. You can't call Mrs. Morti mer any one of these things , can you ? " Janetta did not answer ; she felt that the remark was In bad taste. "I sha'n't like you If you look shocked every time I'm flippant Where was I ? So 1 advertised , half In fun and half In earnest , nnd of course Mrs. Mortimer Is very cross , although It won't make the smallest difference In her lot , except that she will have to give orders for another place to bo laid at every meal. "She Is perfectly Invaluable In her way housekeeper , chaperon , compan ion , everything rolled into one ; but she Is occasionally depressing. " "You will give me something to do ? " said Jnnctta , when Miss Seymour cainc to a pause. "Not the things that Mrs. Mortimer IIOH done for you , It might hurt her feelings. " "Oh , you will not have much to do. You will be cheerful when I'm sad , and kind when I'm cross ; and you won't offer to read aloud unless I ask you , and you will talk when I want you to talk ; and. above all things , you won t try palpably to amuse me. "Nothing bores me like that ; and I do hope you can arrange llowers nice ly. Mrs. Mortimer makes bouquets as round as pumpklnn , and Is so annoyed when I criticise. "I wonder , " she Maid , with n rapid change of subject , "how you liked Cap tain Merivale ? I'm engaged to him , you know , and he has come to stay here for a little bit before he goes out to India. He Is ordered to the front.1 "He was very kind , " replied Jnuettn , "I scarcely know how 1 would have got here without him. " "Wo wore engaged before I had the fall from my horse which has made me what you see me , " went on Miss Seymour , twisting her engagement ring round nnd round upon her finger , so that every diamond In it caught and reflected the light in u thousand rain bow-colored hues. "It's hard luck that I lie hero help less like this , isn't It , when there is Mich a life of happjness before me9 I'm going to get well , but It's long to wait. Now you can guess how much 1 shall need cheering when Harry goes abroad. He's very good to me , and declares he's never dull when ho comes ; but you will try to make it more cheerful for him. If you wait a little while he'll be up again. "You will not need an introduction after that long drive in the dark. He was pleased with you , because ho said you were the only woman in the acci dent who did not scream. " Janettn laughed. "Terror does not take that form with me ; It makes me feel Incapable of uttering a sound. I expect I was just as frightened as any body else. " "Well , at any rate , you kept it well under , " said a voice behind her ; and , looking round , Janetta saw that Cap tain Merivale hart entered the room unperceived. ( To be continued. ) PURE-FOOD LAW. Kentucky Tents Slioiv Fruit Jelly Mil do Wholly of Glue. The General Assembly of Kentucky recently enacted a law providing for the Inspection of food products sold In that state , nnd Intrusted the work to the agricultural experiment station. The station submitted a report show ing that fully 40 per cent of all sam ples of food taken wore adulterated. Some of the adulterants used are in juriouft to health ; others have been put In to cheapen articles of food. As examples of the former , the Inspectors found so-called "fruit jellies" made wholly or In part of glue and artificial coloring and flavoring matters. They found salicylic acid , sometimes in large quantities , in tomato catsups preserves and other food products which wo.ro sold as pure , and formalde hyde and other preservatives In milk which perhaps in some cases was fed to Infants. The most striking example of all is In the case of essence of pep permint and essence of cinnamon. These extracts contained wood alcohol , a poisonous substance , as ono of the in gredients. In the preparation of these essences a mixture of wood alcohol and common alcohol was used In place of common alcohol , presumably to avoid the government tax on alcohol. This condition of affairs Is by no means confined to Kentucky. Equally flagrant Instances of adulteration are reported In the publications of other stations engaged In the inspection of foods and from many other sources. ( ! < > llt Frightened the Ne roos. Some boys In Macon , Mo. , recently fed the contents of a box of seldlltz powders to a goat belong to a family which had recently moved into the neighborhood. Thou taking It for granted that ho was thirsty , they led Billy to a near-by trough and permit ted him to drink heartily. Soon the fizzing began and the goat tore down the street toward the woods nt a reck less pace. Some negroes living sev eral miles out of town claim to have seen Old Nick himself , as they verily believed , rushing along the road In broad daylight. His majesty resem bled an enormous goat , they said , but they recognized him oa the devil , be cause ho was spitting flre and brim stone. The Increase in membership of the New England Cremation Society dur ing the past year has been larger than for several years. Rnhinnrlno Trip to Europe. Holland , the submarine boat man , proposes to cross the Atlantic In anew now craft which will live under water or travel like an ordinary , respecta ble steamer , just as the owner desires. IIo has planned the Itinerary and de clares there Is no more to be feared lu making this experiment than when he first took a dlvo in the original Holaml boat. His new Invention will go first to the Bermudas , thence to the Azores , Lisbon nnd Cadiz , Spain. Much of the trip will bo made under water ( , ho says. JJuiliipcsl' * Up-to-l > iite Service.
