CHAPTER I.
The early rays of a sunshine morn- ing glint with a touch of crimson and gold, a tall, square, gray stone house, half buried by climbing roses and grand old trees, that stands on the banks of the green sloping hill that overlooks the little village of Deep- dale, on the banks of the Kennebec. The sunlight slants down through the net work of blossoms that twine abcut
; the porch, upon the faces of two young
and lovely girls—one swinging to and fro in a hammock, her sun hat tilted down over her fair curls, and the other walking up and down the long porch in quite a fever of excitement.
They are Evelyn and Maud Pember- ton, the acknowledged beauties and belles of the village.
Dark eyed Evelyn is two and twen- ty; her fair haired sister is is eigh- teen.
The cause of their flushed cheeks and expectant faces on this particular morning was due to the letter their father, Squire Pemberton, had receiy- ed the day before, and which read as follows:
‘‘My Dear Mr. Pemberton: — My son Max has business to attend to for me near Deepdale, and will take the opportunity of running up there to make the acquaintance of yourself and charming daughters. He will come up on the 9 a. m. boat, Tuesday next.
Yours in great haste.
Herman Forrester.
This announcement had caused quite a fintter of excitement in the hearts of the squire’s two pretty daughters.
‘*‘We must give the young mana
hearty welcome,’’ declared the squire.
‘*The son of such a father must be a noble fellow.’’ ‘*Wouldn’t it be a splet and lawn party in ]

impatiently. ‘‘I want to hear all about him.’’
‘‘Well, why don’t you give me time?’’ replied Maud, continuing:
‘‘They say he is as good as engaged to an heiress, and he will marry her soon unless he meets a prettier girl before the matrimonial noose is slipp- ed about his neck.’’
‘‘Tf handsome Max Forrester is as fickle as all that, who knows but what either you or I might cut this heiress out,’’ laughed Evelyn, glancing com- placently in the mirror, which cer- tainly reflected a very beautiul face. *“‘I say, Maud,’’ she went on, **lat’s make a secret bargain. If you find that handsome Max prefers my dark style of beauty, do, for pity’s sake, give me a chance will you?’’
‘*And what if he should happen to take a notion to me?’’ asked Mand, a little nettled at her sister’s cool assur- ance.
‘‘Then let’s both try to win him,’’ answered Evelyn. ‘‘That reminds me,’’ she exclaimed, springing from the willow rocker, and ste pping to the lace-draped window, ‘‘I must call Florabel Dean, and have her get our white dresses and do them up at once.”’
‘‘Plorabel! Flor-ra-bel!’’ she call- ed, sharply, from the window. ‘‘Come here at once.’’
A slim young girl, standing in the peach orchard, crested her golden head and listened. Over the waving roses, and through the green boughs of the trees, came the sound of the shrill voice again calling:
‘*‘Florabel! Flo-ra-bel!’’
Florabel Dean turned and walked hurriedly back to the house.
‘Did you call, Evelyn?’ she asks, thrusting a gypsyish face and a tawny head, covered with crinkling curls, in at the door. -
‘‘Did I yell? you had better ask, snaps Evelyn Pemberton, orossly.
The constant abrssion and decay ef our lives make the eoil of our future growth
**Yes, I called I want you to go up to my room and fetch down my white organdie muslin dress and Maud’s. They’re to be done up so we can have them to put on the first thing in the morning.’ ,
**But,’’ gasped pretty little Fiora- bel Dean, in dismay,‘‘I did them up only yesterday.’’
‘Well, what if you did?’’ retorts Evelyn, cooly. ‘‘They’re wrinkled, and have to be done up all over again to-day.’’
‘‘Of course they will have to be done over again,’’ puts in Maud.
Florabel Dean turned away with a little sigh, and ran directly into the arms of Squire Pemberton, who had just entered the room in time to hear that sigh and Evelyn’s remark.
When Florabel got out of sight and hearing, he turned, with an angry frown on his face, to his daughters.
**It’s about time you two girls were beginning to feel ashamed of the Way you treat poor little Florabel Dean,’’ he declared. ‘*You must put a stop to it. Why don’t each of you do up your own dresses, and not put everything on poor Florabel to do?’’
Both of the girls glanced down at their own pretty pink and white palms, then indignantly back to the squire.
‘*Why shouldn’t Florabel Dean do
up our dresses, I should like to know?’’ demanded Evelyn, arching
her brows haughtily. ‘‘She ought to expect to work for the bread she eats. She’s no blood relative of ours, I’m sure. ’”’
No blood relative! That was quite true; but the words brought back a strange fensation to the squire’s heart.
And his thonghts flew back to that summer day, long years before, when the governéss he had advertised for to teach his motherless daughters, ap- peared at the Hall, heavily draped in widow’s weeds, and holding a ycung child by the hand.
‘*T coald not leave my little Flora- bel behind,’’ she said, raising her sweet, appealing eyes to the squire’s face. ‘‘IfIcan only keep her with me I will accept a much smaller sal- ary than the price you have named.’’
He was tender of heart, and the widow’s little child was allowed to
sO
} remain.
A hard enough life the young gover- ness had of it with the squire’s daugh- ters, and she would have left the Hall in despair if the squire had not begg- ed her to stay as his wife.
The new state of affairs made mat- ters a thousand times worse. The squire’s daughters made the poor
bride’s life a torture. She had wedd- ed into a cold world that chilled and blighted her, and she faded like a flower. In less than a year from the time she married the squire she was buried under the old willow in the churchyard, leaving her darling, her idol, poor little Florabel, then a child of five, quite alone in the world. Yes, alone—Heaven help her!—to met, un- aided, the strangest fate that ever crossed the life of a young girl.
That had been twelve long years ago, and Florabel still lived on at Pemberton Hall. The neighbors knew what kind of a life lovely Flor- abel had of it; but the good old squire never dreamed of how matters ex- isted under his own roof.

warning.
Another gardener had been sent for, but in all probability he would not show his face fora day or so. And poor Florabel sat down among the fin- ery of the guest’s room with some- thing like a sob as she thought of the heavy baskets of fruit that her tired hands, and hers alone, must gather on the morrow, and probably the next day, before the new gardener would come to her assistance.
Despite the lateness of the hour of her retiring, Florabel was up with the sun the next morning, and while Evelyn and Mand sat on the yine- wreathed porch in their finery, anx- iously awaiting the arrival of the handsome guest—for the squire had gone down with the carriage to the landing some quarter of an hour be- fore—F lorabel had tied on her broad brimmed sun hat, and had gone down through the orchard to the strawberry beds to commence her day’s task, little dreaming that each step brought ker nearer to her fate.
Florabel set down her basket, and was soon busily at work.
‘*T wonder if they will have that yachting party Maudie was speaking about, when the guest they are ex- pecting comes, and if they will invite me. But of course they won’t,‘’ she murmured, half aloud.

he continued.)
There is Only One Remedy That Will Give You Instant and Perma- nemt Relief From Chi'blains,
Grifiiths’ Menthol
it is Liniment,
A well-known druggist of Toronto says:
I believe every person who ever suffered from chIblains should know how quickly they can be cured by Griffiths’ Menthol Liniment. When reading the circular that comes around the bottle, [I saw Griffiths’ Menthol Liniment recommended for chil- blains. I tried it, and the relief was al- most instantaneous. I have since frequent- ly recommended it to my customers for
this, and they tell me it did just the same for them. I can highly recommend it, 25 cents by all druggists,
