with emphasis.

“Indeed—indeed I «2m not. I am more grieved and disappointed than I can say, to think Mr. Maitland could speak to me in such a way. It is unworthy of him.”

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, DECEMBER 14, 1888

It is undoubtedly a fact that our grand- mothers, the pio- neer wo- limen of tithe coun- try, led more la- ous lives an the house- wives of to-day. In spite f this fact, they bore their hus- bands healthy, robust sons and daughters, and did not become weak, complaining invalids as a consequence.

There are probably several reasons for this. One is, that they lived more in the open air, and another, and probably the most influential of all, is that they were less prudish than the women of to-day. They were not ashamed to know something of their own physical make-up. They were not too nice to take care of their health in a womanly way. Women now-a-days suf- fer untold tortures in silence, because of weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism, rather than consult a physician, or even talk upon the subject to their own husbands. They imagine that troubles of this description can only cured by undergoing the disgusting exam- ins itions and local treatment insisted upon bv the average modern phy sician. Doctor Piere -e’s Favorite Pre scription cures all dis- eases peculiar to women in the privacy of the bs own homes. It does away with the necessity for examinations and local treat- ment, It acts directly on the important organs concerned, making them strong, healthy and vigorous. It fits for wifehood and the burdens of hcusehold duties, It allays inflammation, heals ulceration and soothes pain. It tones and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the time of expectancy and makes baby’s ad- vent easy and almost painless. Thousands have testified to its merits.

CHAPTER VII. MRS. WININGTON SCORES,

Mrs. Maitland was in a very critical condition when her son reached Craig- rothie. The doctor in attendance had wrested with the disease successfully, but feared the weakness: which ensued might de death’s bidding as effectually as his more active emissary.

It was not until she had been carefully prepared that the sufferer was allowed to see her son. He was profoundly mov- ed at the sight of the pale, delicate face with its silvery hair lying so helplessly on the pillow. His mother could only smile faintly as he bent over her and tcok her thin, nearly transparent hand in his, with infinite tenderness, Neither spoke,

ance to wound the humblest creature, was but weakness almost contemptible weakness, and this idea permeated their judgment of her in all things. No one thought of consulting her or taking het opinion or crediting her with the ability she really possessed. Not that they were unkind; they were all well-disposed, prae- tical lads and lasses—fond of their

mother in a way, but scarce compan’‘ons. She could never open her heart to any of them, except to Jack, the strongest

and most combative of them all, the mother and her Youngel was profound sympaihy, and am of Jack’s maturer manhood to make the evening of his mother’s ceful, bright, and full of af-

He, had been invaluable as an adviser, almost a I r, to his friend and employer, the late laird of Craigrothie; but years and rout were beginning to enfeeble him, and make his stern and once equabe

temper irritable, at times querulous, From the time her son returned Mes. Maitland began slowly, very slowly, to gain strength; but for several weeks she required the utmost care. The least oc- cupied of her maried daughters had

hastened to assist in nursing her, and stil] stayed on. But it was her son’s

daily visit and quiet talk that comforted |

and supported the invalid.

With all his tender care for, and an- yiety about, his mother, Maitiand’s | thoughts often strayed to the drama he knew was being enacted in London. The ecmposed little figure of Edith, the quaint grace of her unstudied move ments, the curious, intelligent simplicity that seemed to expose the tinseled un- reality with which she was surrounded, whenever she was brought into contact with it, were perpetually in his mind. The honest preference she had uncon- sciously showa him hgd completed the

What a contrast te his first stormy love affair, and to some slighter expe i- ences through which he had since pass- ed! He often conjectured how she was faring among the shrewd worldlings whose intrigues centered round her. Was he, Jack Maitland, playing an honorable, manly part in letting her full blindfold into the snare? Yet whut could he do? Her wealth was a_ hind- rance. What had he to offer that could in any way balance it? He was ponder- ing these things with more than usu:il hitterness, because his anxiety respect- ing his mother had been somewhat re- lieved. She was able to be moved from her bed to the sofa on the eighth day after his return. And Jack had on the following morning mounted his father's favorite hack to visit a distant part of the estate,
