from the doorway. And turning their eyes thither, they saw the dark, hand- some face of Frank Lamotte.

A shade of annoyance crossed the face of young Vandyck, but he retorted in the same strain :—

“T am that happy man. Stand aside, sir. I go to cast myself and all may for- tune at her feet.’’ Then, turning a wicked look back at his friend in the big chair, he cried, ‘‘ Heath, adieu! look your last on the red roan steed. I may be go- ing ‘O’er the hills and far away’—who knows?”

“You may be gone—”’

‘Deep into the dying day.”’

“That’s the thought that distresses me,”’ retorted the doctor. ‘“‘But go, go, egotist !"’

With a laugh, and another backward meaning glance av the doctor, young Vandyck pocketed his note, took up his hat, and murmuring a mocking: adieu in the ear of young Lamotte, ran lightly down the steps, and, a moment later, the swift fall of hoofs told them he was off.

“What the deuce ails the fellow?’ said Lamotte, sourly, tossing his hat and himself down upon the office divan. *Prating like a school-boy about a sum- mons from Miss Wardour.’’

‘“‘He means to get to Wardour Place without loss of tiime, if one may judge from the manner of his going. You know,’’ smiling behind his hand, ‘‘ Ray is a prime favorite at Wardour.’’

“I did not know it,’’ returned La- motte, sulkily. ‘‘ Vandyck don’t seem to realize that I have a prior claim, and that his twaddie, therefore, only serves to render him ridiculous.’’

Clifford Heath dropped his hand from hefore his face, and turned two stern, searching eyes upon the young man.

“Have you « prior claim?’’ he asked, slowly.

For a second the eyes of Frank La- motte were hidden by their long lashes; then they were turned full upon the face of his interlocutor, as their owner re- plied firmly :—

‘*Some strange things have come to my knowledge concerning Doctor Heath, Ray. They have come in such a manner that I would be in a measure violating the confidence of another were I to make @ statement in full, and yet—in some way Doctor Heath must know that dan- ger menances him.”’

‘Ah!’ uttered Ray Vandyck,and Con- stance, lifting her eyes to his face, caught a fleeting look that caused her to ask suddenly :—

‘*Ray, have you heard anything about Doctor Heath? anything strange, I mean, or unexpected?’’

““Why,’’ replied Ray, slowly. ‘‘I have nothing very strange to relate, but— Heath’s encounter with Burrill a short time since has made some talk.”’

“‘T don’t understand you.’’

‘*Then is it not about this affair that you have sent for me?’’

‘*Ray, explain yourself. ‘affair,’ as you call it?’’

‘“‘Why, you see,’’ began Ray, plunging into his recital after a fashion peculiar to himself, ‘‘about a week ago, yes, it was quite a week ago, on that stormy bluster- ing Monday night, when sensible people staid indoors, Heath, after the manner of doctors, was straggling about that jovely precinct known as Mill avenue, trying to find the shortest way out after paying a visit to some sick child, or wo- man, I won’t swear which; as I was say- ing, he was on his way out of that blessed avenue, when he heard screams coming from the cottage he was passing. It was the voice of a woman, and Heath made for the house, and rushed in just in time to see that latest addition to so- ciety, Mr. John Burrill, in a state of partial intoxication, raining blows about the head and shoulders of the woman who was once his wife. Heath rained one blow upon him and he went down under it. Then he got up, not quite satisfied and thirsting for more fight, and Heath felled him once more.

“‘It seems that the thing had been done

What of this

make capital of it. The secret in itself may be a mere nothing, but Heath is the first man to resent impertinences, and the last man to make explanations. And he’s right, too, especially under the pres- ent circumstances. I like him all the bet-

cion. She had known Ray from his child- hood, and they had always been the best of friends, but she had never admired and honored him, never valued his friend- ship so much, as she did at this moment.

His enthusiasm was contagious; she forgot all her fears of a personal nature and became in an instant the true woman and unselfish friend.

‘‘Ah, Ray,’’ she exclaimed, lifting two admiring gray eyes to meet his, ‘‘you are a friend indeed! afriend to be proud of; but tell me, did you hear nothing more of Burrill after that second en- counter?’’

FAVORITES FOR LONG YEARS.

For long vears Diamend Dyes have been the favor te family dyes in the Dominion of Cavada; and although imitation package dyes have been plentifully offered for sale th-ir great inferiority to the “Damord” in treveth, tastness, beauty of color sand brilliancy was known to the great majority of women, and they were condemned and avoided bv ail who valued good aud bright colors, Na sensible women can aflurd to risk her goods with poor dyes when the *Diamona” is admittedly the worlu’s best.
