A man to endure the hardships of a

i - farmer's life, must be robust physically at the outset, and if he would live a long life, alweys keep a watch- ful eye upon his health He should re- member that it is the apparently trifling disorders that eventually make the big dis. eases. It does not do for a hard working man to neglect bilious attacks or spells of indigestion. If he does, he will soon find himself flat on his back with malaria or crippled with rheumatism. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the best of all medicines for hard working men and wo- men It makes the appetite keen and hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver ac- tive. the blood pure and mch with the life- giving elements of the food, and the nerves strovg and steady. It builds firm muscles and solid flesh It is the greatest of all bleod-makers and purifiers. It cures mala- rial tronbles and rheumatism. It is an un- failing cure for biliousness and indigestion.

Tt had been ¢Rrown aside, paper and ali, on a small tea table, utterly gotten by the donor. Edith took it up with a sort of prophetic doubt. “How will the coming of this strange man affect our life?’ She only thought that if this Vivian, as he called himself, really to be her relative, it might worry Beaton to associate with him. This, however, could not mait much; still an uncomfortable

had once recommended,

Reading had become a great delight to her since Mrs. Winington left her so much to herself. Her mind, her character were rapidly maturing, and no absorbing passion for the man she

was about to marry interfered to check their growth.

She was interrupted after more than an hour had elapsed by a tap at her door, immediately followed by the entr- ance of Mrs. Winington in her outdoor dress.

“They say you want to speak to me,

Edith.”

“Yes; I want to speak to you very much,” and she drew forward an easy chair. “I—we rather, Mr. Beaton and

myself--had a visit from a wild-looking man who says he is my cousin,” and she described the interview very accurately.

stopped abruptly. “It won’t do to think about. Leslie has gone down with hm to Mr. Dargan, has he? I shull not out till he returns. Come with me, dear,” she added, kindly. “I do not like to deny myself to some people I rather expect will come in to tea. Whut shall

you do?”

“I will come with you; I have no objection to meet people,” said Edith. “Why are you so frightened about me? surely you disturb yourself too much.”

“Perhaps so. Well, ehange your dress, and join me in the drawing- room.”

Mrs, Winington left her abruptly,

thinking as she went, “Dress, indeed! If this horrid man proves his story, who is to pay for the lovely trousseau I have chosen? It will half ruin poor Edith.

What a little idiot she is! yet I rather like her when she does not interfere with me. How terribly awkwuard it will be for Leslie if he—is obliged to

break with her! No doubt the nastiest part of the business will be given to me, Men : ‘vs expect their dirty work to be taken of their shoulders by their sisters, their mothers, or their wives,”

Mrs. Winington was not less amiable and agreeable to her numerous visiteurs ' that afternoon for the unpleasant an- ticipations weighing on her mind. But she took the precaution of appearing in an exceedingly becoming hat, as a hint that she was going out, and that

As Mrs. Winington listened she grew graver and graver, her mouth clos ng tightly. When Edith ceased to s) eak, she said, almost in Beaton’s words:

“This is very serious. If this map turns out to be what he renres im- self, it will change your fortunes con- siderably.”

“Why will it change my fortunes?” asked Edith.

“Tell me,” said Mrs. Winington, not heeding her, “were your uneles older or younger than your father?”

“TIT do not know.”

“You see, if this man is your cousin, and the son of your fathers c¢lcer brother, he is entitled to inherit before you, and the bulk of the property will go to him. But it is most likely a bold attempt to extract money. He will probably offer to compromise matters, but we will look narrowly into his pre

Edith, who since her engagement was announced had grown more assured and self-possessed, feeling she had a certain right to her position in Mrs, Winington’s house, talked a little and listened a creat deal to one or two heavy dow- agers, who pronounced her a nice, sen- sible, ladylike girl; and it was just like the luck of those Beatons to fall in with an unobjectionable heiress.

Mrs. Winington observed her with surprise and some compassion. How little she realized the breakers ahead,

breakers which might swamp her. Hef eyes often sought the clock. “When would these tiresome people go? when would Leslie return?”

That gentleman, meanwhile, lost no time in hailing a hansom, into which he motioned the strange claimant po- litely to enter first, and as they rolled

away syiftly to Cursitor Street. Beaton could not help smiling at the notion of

his temporary companionship with the man who might rob him of the fortume he already counted his own. They

scarcely spoke, though Vivian occasion-

ally exclaimed at the crowd, the fine horses,.the number of people waiting

to cross here and there,

Arrived at Dargan’s office, they found him already closeted with Mr. Tilly, and were obliged to wait a few minutes in the outer office, which was a shade or two dingier and grubbier than the other.

When they were shown into Mr. Dar- gan’s room, they found that gentleman in an evident state of perturbation. his wig considerably awry, and a couple of pens stuck behind his ear; he was ex- amining some papers which lay on the

table. Mr. Tilly stood behind him, lcoking very pale, his double glasses held to his eyes with trembling fingers.

Dargan jumped up and ton’s hand, exclaiming:

“A most extraordinary event, a most unfortunate business! A—this—a—is the gentleman in question, I presume?’ turning his eyes with an expression of d’sltike and dread at the tall, audacions-

“Yos,” said Beaton: “I thought it es well to come on here at once, and get to the bottom of the affair.”

“It’s such plain sailing, I do not see the need,” began Vivian, but he was borne down by a chorus of assurances that it was absolutely necessary; and finally, with a careless nod to the rest, he started to find his friend, and a legal adviser,

“Do you believe this fellow’s story?’ asked Beaton, throwing himself into a chair,

“I’m sure I do not know what to think,” said Tilly, dejectedly. “And I’m sure I don’t know what

to do,” cried Dargan, nibbling the top of his pen with a look of vicious ir- ritation. “I knew William Vivian, Edith’s father, had two brothers; the elder, John, who left the property, and

another, George, ne’er-do-weel, was al- Ways wandering about the world; he

was the captain of a trading vessel, but drank hard, and went to the deuce. Why, you haven’t heard of George Vivi- an, Mr. Tilly, for—how long?’

“Over thirty years,” returned Tilly; “and as to his being married, I don’t believe he ever was. The last I heard of him was when some clergyman in Cape Town wrote to my poor friend that he was in sore distress and not fit to do anything. William sent him ten pounds,”’
