LOANING A LOVER. |

| CONCLUSION. |

At first my companion did not) beliove that I was in earnest, but when | convinced of my sincerity his astonish- ment was inexpressible. | remem ber that he stammered out some faint objections, but 1 would not listen, and betore retiring that night I whispered to mamma that I had made it all right with Mr. Sherrington, and she had only to observe how nicely I would manage the whole matter.

I sent Patricia off in the morning to find arbutus with Mr. Sherrington, while I waited to receive Mr. Redmond.

When he came I was in the garden and had ordered lunch an hour earlier than usual. My pale blue silk looked beautiful on the lawn grass.

“ Pray come and see my tulips, Mr. Redmond,” I called, as he walked up the avenue.

He came pleased enough, and as he was especially fond of flowers I had no difficulty in detaining him for more than half an hour.

Then, seeing him looking at his watch, | observed:

“We won't wait lunch for Patricia, for Mr. Sherrington is with her. They have gone roaming off after Spring flowers, and may not be back this three hours. Come in and have a bit of sulad, with a cup of chocolate, Mr. Redmond. I made the chocolate myself, and can recommend it.”

So I kept him for another half hour and he lett, pleased with his visit.

Patricia and Mr. Sherrington came back only fifteen minutes after the usua! lunch hour, the former so de- lighted with a profusion of pink arbu- tus as hardly to heed whena servant informed her that “ Mr. Redmond had ealled to see her, and had stayed with Miss Gertrude for lunch.”

She had put the rosy clusters in her dark hair and on the bosom of her graceful gray dress, and flushed with her long ramble. I think I never saw her look so perfectly lovely. He has been here. Noe nice of you to keep her out of the way so long,’ I whisper- e1 to Clyde.

e looked at me queerly, but said nothing. I did not want you to expos- talate with me as I believed he wished to do. and so kept apart from him dur- ing the evening, leaving him to play and sing with Patricia.

e was interresting, with his very natural’ manner of reserved modesty. I was glad that Patricia found him so. He was pale, silken hair that fell in shadywy curls over a beautiful forehead soft, dark eyes, softly modulated tones. He tontrasted nicely with her dark, spirited beauty.

“Clyde has an elder brother—Ray-

nd—just the one for Patricia,” | mtzad. “JT wonder if it cannot be brought about.”

But | soon had my hands full, for at all honrs of the day and night Mr. Red- mond came to the Hermitage. And it was not long before my success as a de- coy, was patent to the most careless ob- server. He asked only for “ Miss Gev- trude.”” He came solely to see me.

In three weeks the crisis burst upon me. He proposed:

“T used to think Mr. Sherrington was your lover,” he said, standing betore me, the light on his frank, handsome face “but late observations has shown me that his visits here are for your sister. Since you are free, then will you not marry me? I can support you well, Gertrude, or I would not ask you to bind your future to mine, The death

of my grandfather, two years ago, lett!

mé $50.000, besides some real estate. | have a pleasant home at the Hudson— retired but ellegant—where I would like to take you. What do you think, Gertrude? Could you be contented to leave yonr friends and live at Rose cottage with me?”

My amazement allowed me to edad mer nothing intelligible. In some dis tintdt way I temporized the matter, and begged Mr. Redmond to give me time for refieetion.

e@ went away making an appoint- mént for the next evening.

So thunderstruck was I by the reve- lation of Mr. Redmond’s wealth, that | wandered about the house in a dazed way, not heed'ng how mamme was fret- ting about Patricia, who had gone to ridgwith Mr. Sherrington.

“What is the matter, mamma? Is it going to storm ?” I said at last.

“To storm? Nonsense! Where are your eyes, Gertrude? But it is nearly 9 o'clock. Patricia has been gone seven hours with Mr. Sherrington, and I know 50 ing is wrong.”

‘ at?” I demanding, arousing my

self.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era,

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasiers are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with those it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as @ medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELvIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTERS, and their superiority over ali other plasters, they now actually preseribs them, in their practice, for such discases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. Mecyry’s Carsioum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

uick in its action, you can rely on its safety oi the most delicate person to wear, as it ig free from lead and shat poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- arv plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of ifs merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MrLvrn’s CAPst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on — of 25 cents for one. $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas,
