“No,” said Maitland, laughing a plea- gant tinembarrassed laugh. “I was as great a fool as lads generally are, if not a greater fool. It is wonderful what cnormous proportions one’s early follies assume when seen by the light of maturer experience.”

“Ah! and you have grown quite wise now,” with some emphasis, her eyes stil! downeast, as she turned a heavy gold Indian bracelet round and round on her arm.

In J. Fenimore Cooper’s Leathe: Stocking Tales, we read stories of the wonderful agility, physical endurance and the unerring ac- curacy of the eye of the American Indian when he reigned su- preme over this conti- nent. Before he was debauched by modern civilization, he was a magvificent specimen of physical manhood He lived entirely in the open air, and knew no medicine, save the simple herbs gathered by his squaws.

Civilized man leads an unnatural and an unhealthy life. Unlike the Indian if he would maintain his physical and mental health, he must take reasonable precau-

tions to com! disease. Nearly all dis- eases have their inception in disorders of the digestion, terpidity of the liver and impurity of the blood. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is made of simple herbs. It restores the lost appetite, makes diges-

tion and assimilation

perfect, invigorates

the liver, purifies the blood and promotes the natural processes of excretion and se- cretion. It sends the rich, red, life-giving

blood bounding through the arteries and corrects all circulatory disturbances. It dispels headaches, nervousness, drowsi- ness, lassitude, and drives out all impuri- ties and disease germs. It cures 98 per | | ‘

away an hour. She had rarely been so discomfited. Her brow darkened; she

bent over the flowers that lay beside her plate, to hide the change she felt trans- forming her face.

“Tell me,” she resumed, recovering her- self, “how long is it since you have re- turned?”

“About a year.”

“But you will not always bury your- self alive in the wilds of Craigrothie?’

“Why not? I have no particular am- bition. Having no special profession, must do wi [ can, and to manage a improve the tenantry, is no bad occupa- tion for a man’s life. My father is very much broken, and eventually I don’t think the guardians or trustees will ap- point any one in my-place.”

“They would be very foolish if they did. And you are content to live and die at Craigrothie?”’

“At present, yes. Home is very plea- sant after wandering about for years.”

“You are too young to feel that, Per- haps some bonny lassie with golden locks | is the real attraction to : old place; perhaps you are going to follow my good |

example, and take a partner for life.”

Jack Maitland smiled a somewhat grim smile.

“T am by no means inclined to matri- mony,’ he said. ‘“‘When I am older and more talkative and stay at home, I may look out for a good housewife to make my declining years comfortable, but for the present no!” There was a world of imperative rejection in his “no,”

“You are a good deal changed,” said Mrs. Winington, softly, almost timidly.

“IT see a change im you’ too,” he re- turned, looking at her steadily as a man picture; “but are even handsomer, I should say lovelier, than you used to be.” A certain famili-

ity had come into his tone as he talk- ed, and Mrs. Winington, as she met his felt that it would not be easy to pierce the panoply of his indifference.

. “I fear you are hard and unforgiving,” she murmured.

“You wrong me, I have no right to be either.” Then, with the bright frank smile which ht up his face so pleasantly, “T assure you, I have grown a very easy- going, unheroic fellow since time and so cial friction have worn down my rough

“You used not to be rough, Jack; you were yery, very gentle to me at least.”

“Very good of you to say so. I fancy I was something of a boor, or would have been, if I had not known you.”

“IT wish I could believe I had ever done you any good, Jack.”

“Yes, you did; you taught me a great deal.” laughing.

“Well,” resumed Mrs. Winington, after a short pause, “you must come and dine with us. I want to introduce you to Colonel Winington. You know he is one of my father’s executors; it would be

cxfled before the committee to-morrow, I may be kept kicking my heels here a couple of weeks or a month.” “Here,” cried Lady Mary, coming in with a sheet of paper in her hand, “hefe fs a magnificent composition, Pray livten.” She seated herself at the table, while Beaton, who followed, leaned on the back of her chair.

“Enough to lure the birds from the trees,” said Maitland.

CHAPTER II. ee “ON VIEW.”’

Ten days had gone Jack Maitland, in the press of business and amusement, was hardly aware that so much time had elapsed. He had con- tented himself by leaving a card on Mrs, Winington at the hour she was most like- ly to be out. He was interested and amused by his rencounter with her, and quite able to admire her beauty without being much disturbed by it.

This fine sunny morning he was busy writing letters in his room, before going out for the day, and had laid down his pen before answering an invitation to dinner from Colonel and Mrs, Winington for the following Tuesday.

“I must accept, I suppose,” he sald te himself. “I have refused a musical even- ing, and a party to Richmond. I should like to see Jean’s husband, It is a droll idea to meet him, and to meet him too, without any deadly intentions. Come in,” interrupting himself as some one knocked at the door,
