SYNOPSIS.
"TFlorabel was a dependent of her step-~ father, Squire Pemberton. His daughters hate Florabel, and when the Squire dies, order her out of the old home. Max Forrester a rich young mao marries her aod introduces her into his family the members of which disapprove of his mar« Tringe, as they wanted him to marry Mies Clavering, an heiress.
CHAPTER XVI--(Continued.)
** 20 nof like a pretty young gover- ness about the house,’’ Mrs. Kensing- ton complained to a friend one day; ‘*but the children are so very fond of Miss Dean I cannot well discharge her. I have spoken to her about my brother’s return from the South, and warned her as she values her position to keep out of his way; but you know how these scheming young govern- esses are always on the lookout for wealthy husbands. I um afraid in forewarning her I have forearmed her. I have invited two young ladies here to meet my brother—the Misses Pemberton. It would be really too bad if he should fall in love with our governess.’’
While this conversation was going on in the drawing room between Mrs. Kensington and one of her dear five- hundred friends, one sunny morning, the subject of it, poor, hapless Flora- bel, was standing in the rose garden with Belle and Lida, her two pretty charges.
‘*On, I had almost forgotten to tell you, Miss Dean,’’ little Belle, in her pretty, childish prattle, ‘‘of the little beggar girl who came to the gate yesterday.’’
‘*l gave her a rose, and told her to come for another to-day: and,oh, how she cried over it.’’

‘“‘I donot know as she can reach it,’’ said little Belle. ‘‘She is a crip- ple and walks with a crutch. She sings on the street corners, she told
me, eud if she did not bring home lots and lots of , the bad old lady she lives with beats her.’’
‘Heaven help the poor little waif,’’ murmured Florabel, strangely moved. muth like ’oo, Miss Dean,’’ lisped little Lida, climbing up into her lap.

Tt is a nard matte to find an Americas home, no matter how mec humble, in which there is not music of some kind. It may be the music of onda piano, an organ, a gui- tar, a banjo or simply the mus- ic of a human voice.
here can be no question as to its refining influence. 3ut there is one kind of music that is missing from tens gf} of thousands of homes and without which no home can be thoroughly happy. It is the music of childish laughter.
A baby’s prattle is the best music for the home. A baby is the only tie that can finally bind together in absolute happiness, usefulness and confidence a man and a wo- man. Itis acold and cheerless homie that never knows the music of a baby’s laugh- ter. There are thousands of homes all ever this land that were once cheerless and childless, but are to-day happy and lighted with babvhood’s smile, that bless Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is the best of all medicines for women who suffer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organ It acts directly on the delicate and important organs, giving them health, strength, vigor and elasticity. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration soothes pain, stops debilitating drains and tones the nerves. It fits for wifehood and motherhood. It rids womgger a bog its perils. It banishes the qualme of the expectant period and makes baby’s advent easy and almost painless. It imsures the a's health and an ample supply of nouscish- ment. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent a oe specialist, for thirty years chief censulting p an to the Tavalide’ Motel and onare Phaati - tute, at Buffalo, N.Y. Allg druggists “lise Edith Cain, of Clinton, Allegheny Co., Pa., writes: “I take pleasure in expressing my faith in your ‘ Favorite Prescription." After two vears of suffering I began taking Dr. Pierce's medicine and now I am entirely cured. I had yeen troubled with female weakness for some time and also with a troublesome draia on the system, but now I am happy and well. [ will cheerfully recommend Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription to all iuvalid tadies."’

Lida, ‘‘cus I thed see looked dest mxe ’00?’’
‘*No,’’ said Florabel, that which made Lida.’’
Florabel had not seen the tall mag- nolia boughs part, and a tall, hand- some, distinguished man step forth from their shadows; but the children saw him, and, with a scream of de- light, darted toward the new comer.
‘‘Oh, Uncle Hal,’’ they both erx- claimed, in a breath, ‘‘is it really you?’’
‘*Yes, it’s your Uncle Hal, come a day earlier than I am expected,’’ an- swered a cheery, masculine voice. ‘*Am I welcome?’’
But it needed no words te tell him that.
As Halbert Kensington, the artist, had approached, he had caught sight of the handsomest face he had ever beheld, but even while he gazed it vanished from his view like a meteor or a dream.
**‘Some guest,’’ he thought, ‘‘and truly a most beautiful girl;’’ but he forebore questioning the children about her.
Florabel had entered the house by a side door, hurrying up the corridor toward her room, when suddenly the cdcor of the drawing room opened, and, to her dismay, she found herself brought face to face with Maud Pem- berton.
‘*‘Maud!’’ she murmured, faintly,
‘it was not me weep, little
coming to a sudden stop. ‘‘Oh, Mandy, don’t you know me?’’ Maud Pemberton drew away her
silken skirts with a haughty stare.
After the first swift glance, she sprang forward with a sharp cry:
‘*Florabel !’’
‘*Yes, it is I; hapless, miserable Florabel!’’ she answered, humbly.
**Speak just one kind word to me, Maudy. Iam dying of hunger for one kind word. No doubt you have heard my story—that I have parted from alax; and, oh, the life I have lived
since then has been mcr2 bitter than death.’’ ‘“‘Tam not sorry for you, llorabe } Dean, or rather Mrs. Forrester. You have brought it allon yourself. ‘You, who have sinned so deeply, Ceserve to euffer. My wonder is great to find you ensconced in this house. No
doubt you are off with the old love, and are here to see Halbert Kensing- ton.’”’
‘*Maud,’’ ing voice, ‘‘do not acd jury. I—I cannot bear it. because I have suffered so much, I have not deserved it. Let you again, and I will tell you all. Then you will pity and not blame me. Ishall be inthe garden at ten to-morrow morning. I pray you to come to me, Maudy, for the sake of the past.’’
She had no opportunity for saying another word, nor had Maud Pember- ton the opportunity of replying, for at that moment Mrs. Kensington ap- peared at the lower end of the corri- dor, and Florabel turned away.
Maud Pemberton fairly burst into the room where her sister sat, some ten minutes later.
‘*Guess who is here, Evelyn,’’ she panted, flinging herself down into the nearest seat.
‘*You know well enough I could never guess,’’ retorted Evelyn, cross- ly. ‘‘Who is it?’’
‘‘No less a personage than Flora- bel,’’ declared Mand, fairly out of breath, she brought out the name with such vehemence. ‘‘This is not the first time she has crossed my path and speiled my chance of success in life,’’ she went on bitterly. ‘‘But fur her I might now have been Mrs. Max Forrester. She is a thousand times more beautiful than ever. Now she will spoil my chance of winning Hal- bert Kensington. I know it. I feel sure of it.’’
Evelyn Pemberton’s astonishment had been so great at finding Florabel beneath the same roof with them after five long years that she was ab- solutely speechless.
Their bitter resentment at this in- creased when, at the luncheon hour, Halbert Kensington looked about rather disappointedly among them, exclaiming, carelesaly :
‘*T theught you had another guest, Eleanor. Where is the fair young girl I met in the garden this morn- ing?’’
Mrs. Kensington raised her eyes haughtily.
Minard’s Liniment Cures Diphtheria,
cried Florabel, in a chok- insult to in- Spare me, and
me see;
be time lost.’’
‘“‘I will devise some plan,’’ said Evelyn, thoughtfully.
When Florabel had left Maud in the corridor, she had gone out into the garden again, her eyes blinded by tears.
Ah, how ernel of Maud, who had known her since childhood !
Tying on her bonnet, Florabel pass-
ed through the gate out on to the crowded street. She must mingle
with the throng, surging to and fro
on the thoroughfare, to try to forget. Suddenly the sound of a child’s
voice fell upon her ear. It almost.
seemed to Florabel that an electric current passed through her heart. Every pulse throbbed and thrilled with a joy that was the keenest pain.
Turning quickly in the child’s di- rection, she saw a sight that held her spellbound. A fair young face, crown- ed with a crinkled mass of golden hair, a pair of wine-dark eyes, and as sad a mouth as was ever seen on the beautiful face of a child.
