There mere deliciozts rides together.
The long vacation was running down to
the lees. August had passed into September,
and September had softly stolen away. The
scarlet geraniums, calceolarias, and other
bedding-out plants which had all the summer
brightened the gardens of Hazlewood House,
were beginning to show signs of senile decay.
The under gardener found it no light work
to keep the paths free from fallen leaves.
, Yet Frank Carruthers still lingered at Oak
> bury enjoying his cousins’ hospitality. Hav
! ing assumed the post of mental physician to
■ Miss Clauson, he was no doubt reluctant to
* resign it until he had effected a radical cure.
I Besides, the days slipped by happily enough.
V There were drives through the green elm-
■ shaded Westehire lanes, which lead to hills
I from the summits of which fine views of the
[ country and the distant sea are obtainable.
1 As Horace drove, and as Herbert invariably
■ occupied the box seat, Frank and Beatrice
F had the body of the large wagonette to them
-1 selves, an arrangement which one of the two
Mfound far from unpleasant.
There were the delicious rides together.
■ t Young Purton left the place in disgust, and
' I joined an eleven of old Cragtonians who were
I wandering about England playing matches—
-1 a far better and more healthy occupation for
a boy than hopeless lovemaking. The bay
horse turned out such a beauty that Frank
broke his word to Mr. Barker and did not re
sell it.
' Then there was company. Pleasant people
who visited Hazlewood House, and pleasant
people whom Hazlewood House visited.
! Frank was such a success with these that
j Horace and Herbert were quite proud of
' their cousin.
And there were walks with Miss Clauson;
I »n.-l above all those delightful dreamy hours
i when they sat under the sycamore, and in the
’ cool shade talked of everything in the world,
~ the heavens above, or the waters under it.
Or it may bo Miss Clauson was silent, and
Frank, watching every line of her beautiful
face, knew that the disease which he himself
had taken was becoming chronic and iu
| curable.
I Altogether, it will be understood that if Mr.
Carruthers failed in curing Miss Clausen’s
I complaint it would bo from no want of oppor-
1 tunity, or from being debarred making an
exhaustive study of the patient.
I In plain English, Frank had fallen in love
j with Beatrice, in that good old-fashioned way,
| almost at first sight. Ho had gone down be
fore her gray eyes as surely as had the sus
| ceptible Sylvanus. Would he fare any better?
About this date ho often asked himself the
I above question; for he had by now made the
curate’s acquaintance, and learned that he
was a rejected man.
»• He did not learn it from Beatrice, who,
* like every true woman, wished to hide, and,
if possible, forget the story of a man’s dis
comfiture. He did not learn it from Horace
,or Herbert. Although they were as fond of
i gossip as men always'are, wild horses would
j not have rent such a conflderice from their
i kindly hearts. Sylvanus himself was Frank’s
informant.
, The energetic, bustling curate had returned
I to Oakbury. During his absence the Talberts
had requested Beatrice to decide as to the
terms of intimacy which should for the future
exist between Hazlewood House and Mr.
iMordle. Beatrice quietly told her uncles
that it was her particular wish that the Rev.
t Sylvanus should be received on exactly the
■ same footing as heretofore. This decision
jß'Kave the Talberts great satisfaction. They
jwere unable to see how parochial affairs
■ (could go on unless they worked hand in hand
L WSvith the curate. So when Sylvanus returned
LThe was informed that he might tricycle him-
Aself up to Hazlewood House as often as he
wchose. Which, as he was resolved to case
■tfiarden his heart by accustoming himself to
■fceeing Miss Clauson in the light of nothing
Ignore than a friend, was very often.
ul So Mr. Carruthers and the curate met fre
mlquently. They recognized each other’s good
I? | points, and were soon on terms of friendship
Itl such as fiction, at least, seldom allows to ex-
K «st between rivals. Rivals is perhaps the
■ wrong word, for, if any stray fragment of
K tope clung to Mr. Mordle’s portmanteau and
■ jo returned with him to England, it was
Kjwept away for ever and ever as soon as the
MLwner saw Frank and Beatrice together. He

was no doubt the desire to prove incon
les Inbly to himself that he was cured, that
lu do '.him, in a moment of brisk confidence,
Lil Fr.iank how ho had fared. The manner in
alhich) the communication was made showed
■trank?that his own secret was no secret from
10rd1.4. If he did not meet confidence by
| LnfiJjdkce he made no attempt at deception,
fe loolke\at Mordlo with a curious smile.

of October. Mr. Carruthers hav

W entire satisfaction, felt that the moment
■Vs drawing near when he must make the
JHBpreme effort to ex]x?l forever that morbid
■ss which ho believed to have intrenched it
rafif in Miss Clauson’j system. Still he was

bound to confess what - many other practi
tioners ought to confess, that he was work
ing in the dark. He was about to try a kill
or cure remedy, the desperate nattfre of
which would, strangely enough, act not
upon the patient but upon him who adminis
tered it. No wonder, with so little to guide
him, ho hesitated and postponed.
At this juncture the Talberts gave a din
ner-party—a man’s dinner party. The fol
lowing were the blessed recipients of invita
tions: Lord Kelston, who was staying for a
few days at his place; Sir John Williams, of
Almondsthorpc; Colonel White, the officer
commanding the regiment at the neighbor
ing barracks; Mr. Fallon, the polished Royal
Academician who was sojourning at the vil
lage inn, and making outdoor sketches of
autumnal foliage, and Mr. Fletcher, of the
Hollows, the largest landowner, save Lord
Kelston, in the county. These, with Frank
and the hosts, made a party of eight—the
number which, according to an axiom of the
Talberts, should never be exceeded.
From the'abovo names and descriptions it
will bo rightly guessed that the party was
distinguished, well-selected and well-bal
anced. Selection and balance were matters
upon which tho brothers prided themselves
as much if not more than they did upon the
refinement of the dinner itself. In this par
ticular party, email as it was, culture,
learning, art, arms, landed interest and
hereditary sway were properly personified.
It was, indeed, a representative gathering
after the Talberts’ own hearts.
But two days before it took place an event
happened which threatened it ill. Lord Kel
ston wrote Horace one of those pleasant,
familiar letters which, coming from a lord,
are always delightful. He said he should
take the liberty of bringing his friend Mr.
Bimmons with him. As this would raise the
number to nine it necessitated asking another
man in order to equalize the sides of the
table.
Then came consultation high and earnest.
Whom could they ask upon so short a notice
worthy of forming one of such a distinguished
party ? Each of the Talberts would have felt
insulted had ho been asked by a friend to stop
a gap; so, following the golden rule they
shrank from the task before them. Still,
they could not have four, on one side of the
table and three on the other.
Frank listened to their solemn deliberations
for some time, then tried to help them out of
the difficulty. “Leave me out,” he said.
“Beatrice and I”—he spoke of her sometimes
now as Beatrice—“will dine together in the
nursery or the housekeeper’s room. Whit
taker can bring tho dishes straight from your
table. It will be delightful.”
“My dear Frank!” This joint exclamation
showed tho utter futility of his suggestion.
“ Why not ask the rector? I thought it was
the duty of a country clergyman to meet
emergencies like this.”
“Ho talks about nothing but his fishing,"
said Horace mournfully.
“Fishing for what? For men?”
“No; salmon and trout,” answered Horace,
as usual taking the matter prosaically.
“Why not Mordle? He is capital c»n>
pany.”
“Ha-hum,” said Horace, glancing at Her
bert. “This is scarcely a curate’s party.”
“No, scarcely,” said Herbert, shaking his
head.
At last they decided to ask a Mr. Turner,
but tho decision was arrived at with misgiv
ings ; for Mr. Turner was in trade. Ho was,
however, a merchant prince-—even a mer
chant emperor—and, as Horace expressed it,
was a member of the aristocracy of wealth.
They felt that Mr. Turner might be asked at
short notice, and would not be offended
when he heard it was to meet Lord Kelston.
This is one of the many advantages of enter
taining lords.

“He who is false to present duty,” says
Henry Ward Beecher, “breaks a thread in
the loom, and will find the flaw when he may
have forgotten its cause.” A case in point
occurs to us. Mr. Wm. Ryder, of 87 Jeffer
son street, Buffalo, N. Y., recently told a re
porter that, “I had a large abscess on each
leg, that kept continually discharging, for 20
years. Nothing did me any good except Dr.
Pierce’s ‘Golden Medical Discovery.’ It
cured me.” Here is a volume expressed in
a few words. Mr. Ryder’s experience is en
titled to our readers’ careful consideration. —
The Sun.
Mr. E. D. Parsons, of Rochester, N. Y., is
a well knit, fine looking, hearty appearing
gentleman. One day he was prostrated with
pain from the small of his back to the abdo
men. He says: “I wrote the person whose
name appeared in Dr. Kennedy’s ‘Favorite
Remedy’ advertisements, and he confirmed
it. From that little incident I discovered I
had stone in the bladder and gravel in the
kidneys. I used the medicine and am happy
to say I am now a well man.”
As advertisements are simply to fool people
around, do not be deceived, but call at L.
Freid’s, where you will always find it dif
ferent, as he never advertises only what is
true. “Quick sales and small profits,” is his
motto.
“Hunt’s Remedy is valuable and its bene
fits are permanent. Cured me of kidney
disease.” Sullivan Fenner,
