CHAPTER III—[Contlaued]
“IVeH, Irto,” raid ber cranamtner, -no
wanted to learn heraldry, anu eon have
taught him.'*
“For the laet three months”—the girl
blushed as u she was confessing her sins—
“lor the last threo months there has not
been a single word in his letters about
heraldry. He tells me that ho writes be-
cauao he it idle, or because he wants to talk, ’
ar because he is alone in his studio, or he-
cause he wants his unknown friend’s advice.
1 am his unknown friend, and I havo beon
giving him advice”
“And very good advice, too,” said her
grandfather benevolently. "Who is so wise
a* my Iris!”
“1 havo answered all his letters, and
novor one® told him th/i* I am only a girl.”
“I am glad you did n tell him. Iris,” said
her grandfather; hut » did not say why he
was glad. “And why can’t bo go ou writing
his letters without making any fussF*
“Bocauso he s*ys he must make the ac
quaintance of the man—the man. ho says—
with whom he has been in correspondence
so long. This is what he Rays.”
Hhe opened a letter which lay upon a table
covered with papers, but her grandfather
stopped her.
4 ‘Well, my dear, I do not want to know
what he says. He wishes to make your ac
quaintance. Very good, then. You are
going to see him, and to tell him who yon
aro. That is enough. Bat. as for deceiving’’
—he paused, trying to understand this ex
treme scrupulosity of conscience—w*‘if you
come to deceiving—well, in a kind of a sort
of way yon did allow him to think his cor
respondent a man. 1 aumit that. TV hat
harm is done to him? Non®. He won’t be
so mean, 1 suppose, as to ask for his money
back again.”
•*I think ho ought to have It all back,”
aaid Iris; “yes, all from the very boginning.
1 am ashamed that 1 over took any monoy
from him. My faoe burns when I think of
it”
To this ber grandfather made no reply.
The returning of money paid fc * services
Tendered was, to bis commercial mind, too
foolish a tiling to be eve? talked about. At
the same time Iris was quite fre2 to man
age her own affairs. And then there was
that roll of papers in the safe. Why, what
matter if she sent away all her pupils? He
changed the subject.
“Iris, my dear,” he said, ‘‘about this other
world, where the peoplo amuse themselves;
the world which lives in the squares and in
the big houses on the Chelsea embankment
here, you know—how should you like, just
for a change, to belong to that world and
bare no work to dol”
‘‘I don’t know,” she replied carelersly, be
cause the question did not interest her.
“You would have to leave me, of course.
You would sever your connection, as they
aay, with the shopt”
“Please, don’t let us talk
grandfather.”
“You would hare to be ashamed, perhaps
of ever haring taught for your living.”
“Now that I never should be—never, not
If they made roe a duchess.”
“You would go dressed in silk and velvet.
My dear, I should like to see you dressed
up just for once, as we bare seen them at
the theatre.”
“Wall, 1 should like one velvet dress in
my life. Only on at And it should be crim
son—a beautiful, deep, dark crimson.”
“Very good. And you would drive in a
carriage instead of an omnibus; you would
sit in the stalls instead of tbs upper circle;
you would give quantities of money to poor
people; and you would buy as many second
hand books as you pleased. There are rich
people, I believe, ostentatious people, who
buy new books. But you, my dear, have
been better brought up. No books are worth
buying till they have stood the criticism of
a whole generation at least. Never buy new
books, my dear.”
“1 won’t,” said Irin “But, you dear old
man, what bare you got in your head to
night? Why in the world should we talk
about getting richi”
» ’ f
“But, you dear oId man, what have you yet
in your head to-night f”
"I was only thinking,” ho sold, “that
perhaps you might be so much happier ”
“Happier! Nonsense 1 1 am as happy as
1 can be. Biz pupils already- To be sure I
have lost cue,” she sighed; “and the best
among them alL”
When her grandfather left’her Iris placed
candlos on the writing table, bat did not
light them, though it was already pretty
dark. She had half an hour to wait; and
’ she wanted to think, and candles are not
necessary for meditation- She sat at the
open window and suffered bar thoughts to
ramble where they pleased. This is a rest
ful thing to do, especially if your window,
look upon a tolerably busy bat not noisy
London road. For than It is almost as
good as sitting beside a swiftly running
stream; the movement of the people below
is like Ithe unceasing flow of the current;
the sound of the footsteps ie like the whisper
of the water along the bank; the echo of the
half heard talk strikes your ear like the mys
terious voices wafted to the hanks from the
boaufas they go by; and the lights of the
shops and the street presently become 'spec
tral and unreal like light# seen upon the
river in the evening.

1 - 1 b *«d it whispered
that Narcissus was a hunchback. .
Hmu there was another pupil, a airl ehr
waa working her very hardest fa order to be
comn, as aha hoped, a Ant-class governess,
mod who, poot- thing, by reason of natural
thickness would never reach even the third
rank. Irto weald have been sorry for her

Rapid, hut them was something hard and
unsympathetic in her nature which forbade
pity She was miserably poor, too, and had
an unsuccessful father, no doubt as ituDid
a, herself, and made pitiful excuse,
for not forwarding the slender fees wit'
regularity.
■ Everybody who to poor should be, on that
ground alone, worthy of pity « n d sympathy.
But the hardnea, and stupidity, and ill-tam
per, all combined and dearly shown in her
letters, repelled her tutor. Iris, who drew
Imaginary portraits of her pupils, pictured
thogirl as plain to look upon, srithadull
eye, a leathery, pallid cheek, a forehead
without sunshine upon it, and lips which eeh
don parted with a smile.
Then there was, besides, a Cambridge un
dergraduate. He was neither clever not
Industrious,norvstyambitious bethought
that a moderate place seas qune good
•nongh for him to aim at, and he found that
this unknown and obscure tutor by cor-
respondonco was cheap and obliging, and
willing to take trouble, and quite as effica
cious for his purposes as the most expensive
Cambridge coach. Iris presently discovered
that he was lnxy and luxurious, a doceiver
of him«elf, a dweller in Fool’s Paradise, and
a consistent shirker of work. Therefore,
she disliked him. Had site actually known
him and talked with him sba might have
liked him better in spite of these faults and
shortcomings, for he was really a pleasant,
easy-going youth, who wallowed in intellec
tual sloth, but loved physical activity; who
will presently drop easily, and comfortably,
and without an effort or a doubt, into the
l*osom of the church, and will develop later
on into an admirable country parson, un
less they disestablish the Establishment; in
which case, I do not know what he will da
But this other man, this man who was
coming for^an explanation, this Mr. Arnold
Arbuthnot, was, if you please, a very dif
ferent kind of pupil In the first place ho
was a gentleman, a fact which he displayed,
but not ostentatiously, fa every lino of his
letters; next, ho had come to her for instruc
tion—the only pupil she had in that science,
in heraldry, which she loved. It is far more
pleasant to be describing a shield and sotting
questions in the queer old language of this
queer old science than in solving and pro
posing problems in trigonometry and comic
sections. And then—how if your pupil be
gins to talk round the subject and to w ander
into other things? You cannot very well
talk round a branch of mathematics, but
heraldry is a subject surrounded by fields,
meadows and lawns, so to speak, all covered
with beautiful flowers. Into these the pupil
wandored, and Iris not unwillingly followed.
Thus the teaching of heraldry by corres
pondence became the most delightful inter
change of letters imaginable, set off and en
riched with a curious and strange piquancy,
derived from the fact that one of them, sup
posed to bo an elderly man, was a young
girl, ignorant of the world except from
books, and the advice given her by t wo old
men, who formed all her society. Then, as
was natural, what was at first a kind of
play became before long a serious and earn
est confidence on the one side and a hesitat
ing reception on the othor.
Latterly ho more than once amused him
self by drawing an imaginary portrait of
her: it was a pleasing portrait, but it made
her feel uneasy.
“I know you,” he said, ‘•from your letters,
but yet I want to know you in person. I
think you are a man advanced in years.”
Boor Irisl and she not yet twenty-one.
“You sit in your study and read; you wear
glasses, and your hair is gray; you have n
kind heart and a cheerful voice; you are
not rich—you have never tried to make
yourself rich; you are therefore littlJ
versed fa the ways of mankind; yon take
your ideas chiefly from books; the few
friends you have chosen are true and loyal;
you are full of sympathy, and quick to
read tho thoughts of those in whom yon
take an interest.” A very fine character,
but it made Iris’s cheek to burn and her
eyes to drop. To bo sure she was not rich,
nor did she know the world; so far her pupil
was right, but yet she was not gray nor old.
And, again, she was not, as he thought, a
man.
Letter writing Is not extinct, as it is a
commonplace to affirm, and os people would
have us believe. Letters are written still—
the most delightful letters—letters as copious,
as charming as any of the last century; but
men and women no longer write their letters
as carefully as they used to do in tho old
days, because they were then shown about
and very likely read aloud. Our letters,
therefore, though their sentences are not so
balanced nor their periods so rounded, are
more real, more truthful, more spontaneous,
and more delightful than the laborious pro
ductions of our ancestors, who had to weigh
every phrase, end to think out their mots,
epigrams and smart things for weeks be
forehand, sogthat the letter might appear
full of impromptu wit I should like, for in
stance, just for once, to rob the outward or
the homeward mail, in order to read all the
delightful letters which go every week back
wards and forwards between the folk in
India and the folk at home.
**1 shall lose my letters,” Iris reflected,
and her heart sank. Not only did her corre
spondent begin to draw these imaginary
portraits of her, but he proceeded to urge
upon her to come out of her concealment
and to grant him an interview. This she
might have refused in her desire to continue
a correspondence which brightened her
monotonous life. But there came another
thing, and this decided her. He began to
give, and to ask, opinions concerning love,
marriage and such topics—and then she per
ceived ft could not possibly be discussed
with him, even in domino and male dis
guise. “As for love,” her pupil wrote, “I
suppose it is a real an£ not a fancied neces
sity of life. A roan, 1 moan, may go on a
long time without it, but there will come a
time—do not yon think ao?—when lie is
bound to feel the incompleteness of life
without a woman to love. TYe ought to
train our boys and girls from the very be
ginning to regard love and marriage as the
only things really worth having, because
without them there is no happiness. Give
ms your own experience. I am sure you
must have been in love at some time or
other in yonr life.”
Anybodyfwill understand that Iris could
not possibly give her own experience in love
matters, nor could she plunge into specu
lative philosophy of this kind with her pu
pil. Obviously the thing must come to an
end. Therefore the wrote a letter to him,
telling him that “L A.” would meet him, if
he pleased, that very evening at the hour of
eight.
It is by this time sufficiently understood
that Iris Aglen professed to teach—it is an
unusual combination — mathematics and
heraldry; she might also have taught
eqvally well, bad she chosen, sweetness of
disposition, goodness of heart, the benefits
conferred by pure and lofty thoughts on the
expression of a girl’s face, and the way to
acquire all the other gracious, maidenly
virtues; but either there is too limited a
market for these branches of culture, or—
which is perhaps the truer reason—there are
many English girls, not to speak of
If he should be vindictive!”
When the dock began to strike the boor
of 8, Iris lighted her candle*, and before the.
pulsation of the last stroke had died •}fay*
■he heard th# ringing of the hoose-belL
The door was opened far her grandfather
himself, and she heard his voice.
“Yes,” he said, “yon will find your tutor
fa the first floor front, alone. If yon are in
clined to bo vindictive, when you hear all,
please ring the bell for me.”
The visitor mounted the stain, and Iris,
hearing his step, began to tremble and to
shake for fear.
When the door opened she did not at first
look up. But she knew that her pupil was
there, and that he was locking for his tutor.
“Pardon me”—the voice was not unplea»
•nt—“pardon me. I was directed to thii
room. I hare on appointment 'with mf
tutor.”
“If,” said Iris, rising, for the time for
confession had at length arrived, “if yon
are Mr. Arnold Arbuthuot, your appoint
ment is, I believe, with me.”
Tt is with my tutor,” ho said.
I am your tutor. My initials are J. A.”
UOLtI id
Iris had a good many pupils—six, fa l
fact, as she had boasted; why, then, was Americans, who are competent to teach
the so strangely disturbed on account ol them, and do teach them to their brothers
one!
An old tutor by correspondence may be,
and very likely is, indifferent about his
pupils, because he has had so many; but Iris
was a young tutor, and had as yet known
few. One of her pupils, for instance, was a
gentleman in the fruit and potato line in the
borough. By reason of bis early education,
which had not been neglected so much as en
tirely omitted, he was unable to personally
conduct his accounts. Now a merchant
without bis accounts Is as helpless as a tour
ist without |ile Cook. 80 that be desired, in
his mature age, to learn book-keeping, com
pound addition, subtraction and multipli
cation. He had no partners, so that be did
not want division. But it is difficult—say — — — . .. , , . . -
well nigh impossible—for a middle-aged that she was good fa this science, because won* to a young ^ay*# •Jjwlyr,
merchant, not trained In the graces of letter she was a pupil of Lala Roy.
and their lovers, and to each other, and to
their younger sisters all day long.
As for her heraldry, it was natural that
she should acquire that science, because her
grandfather knew as much as any pursui
vant or kiog-at-arms, and thought that by
teaching the child a science which is nowa
days cultivated by so few he was going to
moke her fortune. Besides, ever mindful of
the secret packet, ne thought that on heiress
ought to understand heraldry. It was, in
deed, as yon shall see, in this way that her
“7 am your tutor. MV initials are I. A.’
The room "'as only lighted by two candles,
but they showed him the hanging head and
form of a woman, and ho thought she looked
young, judging) by the outlina Iler voice
was sweet and clear.
“My tutor? YouT
“if you really are Mr. Arnold Arbutbnot,
the gentleman who has corresponded with L
A. for the last two year- on heraldry, and—
end other things, % am your tutor.”
She had made the dreaded confession. Tho
rest would be easy. She even ventured to
raise her eyes and she perceived, with a
sinking of the heart, that her estimate of
her pupil’s age was tolerably correct. He
w«X a young man, apparently not more than
five or six and twenty.
It new remained to be soon if he was vin
dictive.
As for tho pupil, when be recovered a
little from the blow of this announcement
he saw before him a girl, quite youngs
dressed in a simple gray or drab colored
stuff, which I have reason to believe is
called Carmelite. Tho dress had a crimson
kerchief arranged in folds over the front
and a lace collar, and at first, sight it made
the beholder fuel that, considered merely as
a sotting of face and figure, it was remark
ably effective. Surely this is the true end
and aim of all feminine adornment, apart
from the eleinontary object of keeping one
warm.
“I—I did not know,” the young man said,
after a pauie, “I did not know at all that 1
was corresponding with a lady.”
Hrre she raised her eyes again, and he ob
served that her eyes were very large and
full of light—“eyes like the fish pool* of
Heshbon”—dove’s eyes.
“I am very sorry,” she told, meekly. “It
was my fault.”
He observed other things now, having re
gained the use of his senses. Thus he saw
that she wore her hair, which was of a
wonderful chestnut-brown color, parted at
the side like a boy’s, and that she had not
committed the horrible enormity of cutting
it short. He observed, too, that while her
1*P» quivering and her cheek was
blushing her look was steadfast Are dove’s
eyes, he asked himself, always steadfast!
“I ought to have told }*>u long ago, when
you began to write about—about yourself
and other things, when 1 understood that
you thought I was a man—oh, long ago ]
ought to have told you the truth!”
“It is wonderful!” said the young man,
“it is truly wonderful!” He was thinking
of the letters—long letters, full of sympathy,
and a curious unworldly wisdom, which she
had sent him in reply to his own, and he
was comparing them with her youthful
face, as one involuntarily compares a poet’s
appearance with his poetry—generally
disappointing thing to do, and always a
foolish thing.
“I am very sorry,” she repeated. j
“Have you many pupils like myi-elfP I
“I have several pupils in mataematics. I
It does not matter to them whethe r they are
taught by a man or a woman. In heraldry
1 had only one—you.”
He looked round the room. One end was
occupied by shelves, filled with books; in one
of the windows was a table, covered with
papers and adorned with a type-writer, by
means of which Iris carried on her corres
pondence. For a moment the unworthy
thought crossed his mind that he had been,
perhaps, artfully lured on by a Siren for his
destruction. Only for a moment, however,
because she raised her face and met his gaze
again, with eyes so frank and innocent that
he could not doubt them. Besides, there
was the clear outline of her face, so truthful
and so honest. The young man was au
artist, and therefore believed in outline.
Could any sane and intelligent creature
doubt those curves of cheek and chin I
“I have put together,” she said, “all you*
letters for you. Here they are. Will you
please take them bock? I must not keep
them any longer.” He took them and bowed.
“I made this appointment, as you desired,
te toll you the truth, because 1 have deceived
you too long, ard to beg you to forgive me*
and to say that, cf course, there is an end to
our correspondence.”
“Thank you. It shall be as you desire.
Exactly,” he repeated, “as you desire.”
He ought to have gone at once. There
was nothing more to say. Yet he lingered,
holding the letters in his hand.
“To write these letters,” he said, “has
been for a long time one of my greatest
pleasures, partly because I felt that I was
writing to a friend, and go wrote in full
trust and confidence, partly because they
procured me a reply—in the shape of your
letters. Must 1 take back these letters of
mineP
She made no answer.
“It is hard, is it not, to lose a friend so
slowly acquired, thus suddenly and unex
pectedly p
“Yes,” sho said, “it is hard. I am vary
sorry. It was my fault.”
“Perhkpe I have said something, fa my
ignorance—something which ought not to
have been said or written—something care
less—something which has lowered me in
your esteem
“Oh, no—no!” said Iris quickly. “Yon
have never said anything that a gentleman
should not ha7e said.”
“And if you yourself found any pleasure
fa answering :ny letters-
“Yes,” said Iris with frankness, “it gave
me great pleasure to read and to answer
your letters a* well as I could.”
“I have not brought back yonr letter*. I
hope you will allow me to keep them. And,
if you will, why should we not continue our
correspondence as before?”
But he did not ask the question confi
dently.
“No,” said .“ris decidedly; “it can never
be continued ns before. How could it, when
once we have met and yon have learned the
truth?”
“Then,” he continued, “if weeannof write
to each other any more, can we not talkf*
She ought to have informed him on the
eteas.

He meant to set her ot her eaaoca
the propriety of these visits. She
he meant a continuation of a oexti
arrangement as to fees, and blushed.
“Ne. 1 ? she said; “I most not consider, you
as a pupil may longer You have put an end
to that jeurseU.”
“I do not mind, if only I continue your
friend.” - •“*'* ’ ;
“Oh,” she said, “but we must not pledge
ourselvee rashly to friepdtirfp; Perhaps you
will not like me when you once coma to
know me.”
“Then 1 remain your disciple.” 4 , <
“Oh. no,” the flushed again, “yon-must
already think fae presumptuous enough’ fa
presuming to give you advice. I .have
written so many foolish things ”
“Indee 1, no,” be interrupted; “a thousand
times not Let me te” you once for all, if I
may, that you havo taught me a great
deal—far more than yon can ever .under
stand, or than 1 can explain. Where did
yon get your wisdom I Not from the Book
of Human Life. Of that yon cannot know
much as yet” ;: y/e
“The wisdom is fa your imagination. I
think. You shall not be my pupil, nor my
disciple, but—well—because you hays told
me so much, and I seem to have known you
so long, and besides, because you must never
feel ashamed of having told me so much,
you shall come, if you please, as my
brother.”
It was not till afterwards that she reflected
on the vast responsibilities she incurred fa
making this proposal, and on the
with which her pupil accepted it
“As your brotherP he cried, offering her
.his hand. “Why, it is far—far more than 1
could have ventured to hope. Yes, I will
come as your brother. And now, although
you know so much about me, you have told
me nothing about yourself—not even your
name.”
“My name Is Iris Aglen.”
“Iri-! It is a pretty name,”
“It was, I believe, my grandmother's.
Bu 1 never saw her, and I do. not know
who or what my father’s relatives are.”
“Iris AglenT’ he repeated. “Iris was tbs
Herald of the Gods, anvl tho rainbow was
constructed on purpose to serve her for a
way from heaven to the earth.”
“Mathematicians do not allow that,” said
the girl, smiling.
“I don’t know any mathematics. But
now I understand in what school you
learned your heraldry. You are Queen-at-
Arm--, at least, and Herald to the Gods ol
Olympus. ”
Ho wished to add something about th#
loveliness of Aphrodite and tho wisdom ol
Athene, but he refrained, which was in good
tasto. # .
“Thank you, Mr. Arbuthnot,” Iris re
plied. “I learned my heraldry of my grand
father, who taught himself from tho books
he sells. And my mathematics I learned o?

Her eyes grew humid and her voice trem
bled.
No other friends in the world! Strange
to say, this young man felt a little sense oi
relief. No other friends. He ought tc
hiree sympathized with the girl’s loneliness;
he might have asked her how sho could pos
sibly endure life without companionship, but
ho did not; he only felt that other friends
might have been rough and ill-bred; this
girl derived her refinement, not only from
nature, bu* also from separation from th«
other girls who might in the ordinary coursr
have been her friends end associates. And
if no other friends, then no lover. ' Arnold
was only going to visit the young lady aa
her brother; but lovers do not generally ap
prove tho introduction of such novel effect*
os that caused by the appearance of
brand-new and |previously unsuspected bro
ther. He was glad, on the whole, that
there was no lover.
Then he left her and went home to his
studio.*where he sat till midnight sketching
a thousand heads one after the other with
rapid pencil. They wore all girls* heads,
and they all had hair parted on the left sida
with a broad, square forehead, full eyes,
and straight, clear-cut features.

TESTIMONY;
PROF H C WHITE,
I liave been familiar for a number of
years with the general character of Prof.
Hereford's phosphatic perparations. Re
cent examinations made by me of’ the
’’Acid Phosphate" and “Bread Prepara
tion,” show them to be exactly what is
claimed for them Ju the circulars accom
panying the packages. The -'Acid
Phosphate" is a concentrated solution
in water of Acid Phosphate of Lime.
The Bread Preparation is a mixture of
Acid Phosphate of Lime, carbonate of
sodaand Hour. When mixed with water
carbonic acid gas is liberated and a dou
ble phosphate of lime and soda is form-
edand remains in the bread when baked
In ordinary cream of tartar ltaking pow
ders the substance left in the bread after
“raising" is roclielle salts—a double
tartrate of soda and potash. The phos
phates are useful mineral substances in
animal nutrition and growth, tho tartra
tes are not. >
Jn my opinion, the Phosphatic Pow-
dt r is, therefore, preferable to the others,
so far as healthful ness is concerned.
