/ When a man gets down oe flat on his back, so that he
has to be carried about like |
a taby, he finally realizes that he is a sick man. Very frequently he has been a sick man for years, but has recklessly refused to recognize nature’s warnings. Severe illness is something that does not strike a man like a flash of lightning. It creeps upon him by degrees, and at every step warns him with a new danger signal. «When a man feels ‘‘cut of sorts”’ or knocked out,’’ or whatever he may call it, he isa sick man. It is time to take warn- ing. Headaches, drowsiness, loss of sleep at night, loss of appetite, nervousness, bad taste in the mouth ia the morning, and frightful dreams—ali these are warnings of encroaching illness.

“Very sweet and nice of you, dear, but it is time you broke away from this in congruous comPanionship. That good old woman was only fit to be your nurse! You need not discard her, but you have been shamefully neglected, and kept in the background. Now you must be in- troduced to society suited to your for-
‘l am afraid I am not suited to any society, except that of a few people whom I like and understand. It is a
great pleasure for me to look at you and listen to you; I wonder if I shall ever be able to paint you!” said Edith, with simple earnestness. Mrs. Winington was not so blinded by her natural and ac- quired woridiness as not to perceive and be flattered by this honest and unstinted admiration.
“{ wish you a better subject,” she said, langhing. “Now, come with me, and I will show you your room before lunch- eon. Madame Laure has sent some of your things, and I see you have put on ene of her dresses.”
Edith followed her hostess upstairs, to a pretty comfortable room, where were laid out what seemed to Edith an emn- ormous amount of clothes—clothes, too, of a superb description. Delicate silks, gauzy grenadines, fairy-like hats, coqu‘t- tish mantels. “What a quantity of money they must have cost!’ she eried, aghast. “‘What will Mr. Dargan say!”
“That you have a right to the com- mon necessaries requisite for a young lady who is to live like other people,” said Mrs, Winington, carelessly ringing the bell as she spoke. Her summons was almost immediately answered by a
graye, well-dressed young woman. “There my dear Miss Vivian, is your
especial maid! She will tend to toilet, and she understands Markham! You had better do Miss Vivian’s hair before luncheon: she has been living shut up in the country, and Il trust to you to do her justice.”
At luncheon the only guest was Bea- ton, who did his best to be fascinating: and then came a crowning joy. Mrs. Winingtno’s smart Victoria conveyed them toa studio quite near, where Edith satisfied her eyes with the drawings, water colors, casts and beautiful objects scattered about, while Mrs Winington arranged terms with the ‘fashionable artist. who condescended to instruct a few pupils for a high remuneration. It was settled that Edith should commence tte following Menday. Some shopping in Regent and Bond Streets and a drive in the park completed the day; and Edith, exhilarated by the unusual moye- ment and variety; found herself quite equal to the ceremony of dinner, as she had never seen dinner served before; and introduction to Colonel Winington, who was quite réady to accept his wife’s new favorite unquestioning, as he never in- terfered with her so long as she left hint alone, and did not spent too outrageous a quantity of money,
Meanwhile Jack Maitland still loitered in town, dissatisfied with himself, yet unwilling to leave. He was strong an) penetrating enough to be net one whit blinded to Mrs. Winington’s real nature, and yet her beauty, her grace, her evi- dent desire to atone in some way for her past heartlessness, dazzled and fascinate] him.
That a brilliant woman of fashion, courted and admired as she was, should still remember her first uncouth boyish lover, was enough to make a fool of most men.: Jack had long ago ceased to feel the smallest anger against her. He was naturally generous and broad, but not very easily melted, and there was a dash of contempt in the plenary ab- solution he had extended to bonny Jean
Beaton. “Why should I dislike her for being

when he begalf to work his way out of the chaos into which she had plunged him; and, however, attractive she might still be, the core of his opinion was un- altered and unalterable. But Mrs. Win- iggton’s beauty and softness appealed. to "the and Maitland’s were” stl fresh and keen. He could not help the resisted consciousness that his old love was not indisposed to sob out her penit- ance in his arms, and he knew--none be‘ ter—how sweet those ripe red lips of hers used to be in the delightfully de lusive old’ days when they wandered to gether among the “banks and braes” of Craigrothie.
He thereforé found it very pleasant to drop into luncheon, and oftener still to tea, though he scarcely went as often as he was asked. It is true that Mrs. Wining- ton was frequently surrounded; but ther, were occasional hours of quiet tete-a- tete talk, chiefly retrospective, which he could not help enjoying.
Indeed Maitland often wondered what she saw in a plain and somewhat un-
