WHO WERUJ THEY If We had not long been settled at Hil ton Vicarage when we became ac quainted with the Jervoisen, who lived in a small bouse close by the vicarage gates. They had taken it on yearly lease, some years before our arrival in the parish, but had so thoroughly set tled down into it that I think the vil lage would have been as much aston ished by their Hitting a if the church steeple had suddenly started off for a constitutional. lie was a singularly handsome, bion conserve man of forty, or thereabouts; she, a slight, graceful invalid of thirty, but of so fair and delicate a complexion that her ago was not easily fixed. They lived very quietly, though there seemed to be no lack of money; certainly not, when it was a question of relieving any real distress in the neighborhood. Wheu they first came there had been, doubtless, plenty oi guesses as to their origin, but by the time Frank and I took possession of the vicarage all curiosity respecting them had died out. Though they had come as per fect strangers, with no introductions, and had quietly and unobstrusively parried all attempts to discover their antecedents, their quiet, regular life, and their particularly charming man ners, bad recommended them to every one in the neighborhood; and it had depended only on themselves to have had the entree of every house for miles around. Mr. Jervcixe made new ac quaintances in the hunting held, where his skill and courage were alike re markable. After a time the wives of these gentlemen called on Mrs. Jer voise, and returned singing her praises as loudly as their husbands lauded Mr. Jervoise; but, somehow, the ac quaintance begun never got any fur ther. Mrs. Jervoise was an invalid, and declined every invitation on the score of health; to that in course of time her only lady associate had been my predecessor, the late vicar's wife a dear, lovable old lady, whom no one could resist, and who still con tinued to live in tho village even after her husband's death, and made a point of introducing me. Liko everyone else, I was charmed with Mrs. Jer voise, and found, in ppite of her reti cence, that my increasing acquaint ance only added to my liking. Cer tainly no vicar's wife ever bad a more efficient sympathizer and helper in any case of distress. Her kindness and ingenuity wero aliko inexhaustible, and, alwavs ready to assist both with hand and heart, purse and brain, she was a perfect godsend in our over grown and very poor parish. Several years passed, our life being a very fair Midland county, nineteenth century reproduction of "Sleepy Hollo;" but one day wo wero rndely startled from our peaceful existence. A case or two of fever had occured in one' of the low-lying lanes running down to the little river that flowed through the center of our village, but no one thought more of it than to shrug their shoulders over ,4thosi dreadful cottages, regular fever dens, you know," and to inveigh against the landlord, a non-resident, for not keep ing them in a proper sanitary state. I am wrong, though, in saying that no one did more than this. The Jervoises, as usual on such occasions, came nobly to the front, and Mr. Jervoise might often be seen coming out of one or other of the wretched hovels. One day I was going that way to in quire after one of the sick when I met him coming from the very cottage I purposed entering. "Are you going in to see theDawses, ' Mrs. Wargravc? Because, let me warn, you, it is a case of scarlet fever, and a bad case too." I looked, as I felt aghast. Ycs," he went on, "it is pretty bad. I felt sure what it was when I first went in; and Dr. Manby, for. whom I sent, confirmed my opinion. There is nothing you can do ior them. Your husband has been, so has the doctor; and considering those young children of yours, I don't think you should ven ture." I confess the recollecion of my aursery unnerved me, and I turned, like a coward. "But youP" I asked, as he came back with me. Oh! me!" ho answered with a half emiley "I am fever-proof, and Cecil Is not nervous. Besides, 1 take pre cautions, and then we have no chil dren." He hesitated as ho added the last reason, and it flashed across me that I remembered an exouisite miniature of a child, of which I had just caught a glimpse once, in Mrs. Jcrvoise's work basket, and to which, as she at once covered it, half unconsciously, with her work, I did not venture to allude. From this day I seemed constantly to meet Mr. Jervoise. He constituted himself assistant to the doctor, curate to my husband and man-of-all-work generally to tho parish. His hands were soon full, for ere long there was hardly a house without at least one Invalid. t I also was busy, though my mother- in-law swooped down on us at ine first hint of an epidemic, and carried niir threo bairns. The dear old ladv would fain have carried me off with them, but I rebelled. Who, if I went, was to look after Hank, who had an uncomfortable habit of for getting on an emergency that he was a mere mortal; and would work as if ho possessed the lives of fifty cats and the strength of a score of horses: for which forgetfulness, I may mention, he was pretty safe to pay severely af terwards P So I stayed, and though sternly for biddin to go into any of the infected houses, I found I had plenty to do in keeping up tho necessary supply of kitchen physic, and acting as matron to an impromptu home for (temporary) orphans, who were sent up to me to be out of tho way, from all parts of the parish. At this time Mrs. Jervoise utterly cast off her invalidism, and worked side by sido with her husband so courageously and skilfully that there was uot a noul iu the place who did not look on them as direct messengers from heavi-n to help us in our need. At one end of what seemed an inter minable period, tho epidemic was at last got under, and we all began to rest and regain our normal habits. A few cases, however, still lingered, and the largo number of fresh mounds in the churchyard testified to the severity of the visitation. But, in spite of these witnesses we felt the worst over and rejoiced accordingly. One afternoon, when J was busy preparing the nurseries for my chil dren, who were to bo brought back by their grandmother in a few days, I heard my husband calling mo at the foot of the stairs. But for a troubled tone in his voire, which I at once de tected. I confess I bliould not have hurried; as it was, I rau down with a half-mado curtain in my bauds. "Mary, can you put on your bon net, and come over at onco to the Jer voises? They are in trouble." "Which has taken UP" I exclaimed. "He has," was the reply. "1 called in about some trifle on my way up from the village, and Bessie, the maid, told me. with tears in her eyes, that 'master wus down and missis was very nearly wild.' I went in but I soon fouuef that I could do no good, so I felted off to see if Sister Emily had eft, as she had talked of doing. Luckily, those kind Simmondses had persuaded her to allow herself one moro day of rest before taking up fresh work, so she then aud there came back with me to the Holt; and now, dear, I want you to come at once, and see what is lo bo done with her. Thero is something dreadfully wrong about those two, lam certain, from a few words she dropped in her misery this afternoon; but no matter, whoever is to blame, she is not, I'm morally convinced and, anyway, she is in trouble, so come along, little woman! In less than ten minutes we were at the Holt. Mr. Jervoise was sleeping at all events ho was quiet, and Sister Emily had made Mrs. Jervoise go and lie down in the drawing room. "And would I go to her thercr" said Bessie. Accordingly, I went to the drawing room, and, coming out of the sun glare, could cot at first distin guish anything in the darkened room. As, however, my ej-es became accus tomed to the twilight, I saw Mrs. Jer voise lying on the sofa, her head buried in the pillows. Poor soul! She was sobbing convulsively, though try ing hard to stifle the sound. When I touched ner she 6tarted, and, seeing who it was, flung herself into my arms, but then sprang back, saying: "Oh, why do you comeP You ought not; it is the fever you know." I cared little for ten fevers at that mo ment, and drawing her down on the couch told her so, petting and sooth- in? her as one would a tired child. After a time she slept, and shifting her head from my arm to the cushion, I went to find out what 1 could about her husband. Alas! things were as bad as mv worst fears had pictured them. Worn out by his exertions, his constitution, weakened by wear and tear in a hot climate (he had told the doctor that he had spent ten years in India), and by trouble, he had broken down completely, and from the first there was no nope, lie was delirious tho whole time, and his wanderings were painful to listen to. He never recognized his wife, but called for her incessantly, every sentence he uttered showing his intense love for her. Af ter tho first outburst she controlled herself and waited on him, in turn with Siater Emily, as quietly and steadily as ere now she had done on some fever stricken cottager, though day by day her face grew more drawn and wearied, and tho heart-broken look on it more terrible. To make a long story short, he died, unconscious to the end of nis wife s presence, though his last bieath was sent in a wild prayer for her. from the moment ne died she seemed to turn to stone. She never shed a tear, but saw to everything her self, making all the arrangements, and evidently trying in every way to save us any work. I could tee that she only kept up by sheer force of will. and could hardly bear ner out oi my sight. The night before the funeral she left me, saying she must go to Gerald for the last time. After a lit tle I grew anxious, and, calling Frank, we went together to see her. The cof fin was nailed down, but by the side of it lay my poor friend, stretched at full length where she had evidently fallen stone dead. I don't know how the doctors ac counted for it; I only know what I, and the rest of the unlearned thought; and that was that her loving heart broke when all else was taken from her. Strangely enough, with their death, tho sort of mystery attaching to them was renewed and increased. The morning of the funeral a lawyer ap peared, announcing himself as Mrs. Jervoise's man of business, summoned by her; he took chargo of everything, gave up the house, discharged the servants with handsome gratuities, and finished up by sending me some Jewels, with a few words written by my poor friend Just after her hus bandss death. All trace of the Jer voises left was the tombstone in the churchyard, and even that was myste rious, for it simply bore the initials G. J. and C. J., with a date. Several years later I was at Brigh ton, and was much struck, by a very handsome woman, who frequented all the most fashionable places at the most fashionable times, and whom I heard of as being one of the gayest and most run after of the many beau ties of the season. I asked my sister- in-law, with whom I wa staying, who my beauty was, and was told that she was the wife of a Sir Walter Jeffrys, an old Indian General, a most dis tinguished man. with every kind of decoration, and almost every letter of the alphabet under his name. "But where is heP" asked 1. He 1 Oh, he's a confirmed Invalid, entirelv nndcr the rule of his hand some, vulgar wife, who married him auite latelv. simnlv for his wealth and position, and who, having attained these, has decidedly no notion of be ing nurse to a half-bedrlddon, childish old man." "What a shame t" "Well, mv dear. Derhaps it is." ro- plied my sister-in-law, "but I confess to a feeling of satisfaction when I see that old fellow dragging past in his Data cnair, with no one but a sulk) nurso with him. There, Mary, mv dear, don't look so horrified, and I'll tell you the reason. You see, before I married Torn, when I was up the country, in India, with my first hus band, ur. Joynver, I knew the Jeurys, for Sir Walter had a wifo then; not the present one, of course. Poor Ce cil ! sho was the daughter of a civilian out there, and came out to join her people, whom she had not seen since sho was seven or eight. Sho was a sweetly pretty young girl, and Sir Walter, who was Uoionci Jeltrys men, proposed to her aad was accepted by her parents. Tho poor child was en gaged when she reached India to a cousin, a Captain Jerningham, but to this her father would not listen for one moment, and a short time after her arrival sho became Mrs. Jeffrys. Pom girl ! a few weeks after her wedding she found out what sort of man she had married, and, if all stories bo true, had felt the weight of his arm before she had been a wife six months. "Colonel Jeflrys' one recommenda tion must have been his money, for his temper and his morals were aliko infamous. Lax to an indescribable degree himself, ho was intolerably jealous of his unhappy wife, and bo came perfectly furious if she inter changed six words with any man. Unfortunately Captain Jerningham ar rived out just about this time, and poor Cecil's life became even moro unbearable. "At last ono night, after a hoavy evening ut mess. Colonel Jeffrys re turned to Ins bungalow. W hat hap pened no one ever knew. All that was known was that screams and shrieks were heard, and that Mrs. Jef frys fled out of the house, pursued by her husband with his drawn sword (this littlo eccentricity was politely credited to 1. t.' by accommodating doctors and friends !), and sought ref uge In the nearest bungalow, which was, unluckily. Captain Jerningham's. Attracted by the noise like many more he came out, and. very natur ally, protected her, declaring he would shoot any one who dared como near her. She stayed there that night, and thofollowing'morning, at earliest dawn went to her father s house, lie re fused to take her in, so did her hus band, adding the order to be off to tho man for whom she had betrayed him'" for whicn insult, by the way, he had not the shadow of a reason beyond his own mad jealousy. Frantic with dis pair, she followed his advice. "Captain Jerningham would have married her then and there, but, tkanks to Colonel Jeffreys, no divorce was procurable. Su they disappeared, and what become of them I never could discover. But now you see why 1 don t exactly lament at the fate of Sir Walter Jeffrey's." bo ended my sister-in-law s story. But why did the thought haunt me that Jerningham, Jeffrys and Jervoise all began with the same letter, and that Mrs. Jervoise's name was Cecil. London Truth. But For One Thing. "My darling, I would die for you," he said, as he bent fondly over her chair. "You would P" she asked. "I would. There is nothing I would not do to show the strength of my at tachment.

"I would do it but for ono thing," he said. "Wrhat is thatP" "Some other fellow would luxuriate on the insurance." And when he said that he showed that he knew what wemen are. Zoa ton Courier. The Servant Girl Question. The servant irirl problem, which has vexed the minds of men and women from time immemorial, and has seem ed each year to be further and further from a satisfactory solution. Is un raveling itself in Chicago. Great numbers of young women in that city have abandoned the slim salaries of the shops and betaken themselves to the less exacting and altogether more remunerative household work in pri vate families. That theso girls have chosen the better part is beyond the question of doubt, and that they will be more comfortable, better protected and quite as much respected as behind the counter is Just as certain. Alas, that more of the sox would not go and do likewise. Chicago News.

Thocficct of this w hen the city i covered with it white robe of now, is strangely beautiful. A gentleman recently spent a ikiy or two in Detroit, pushing his researches to some extent in the direction of finding out as to the new method of curing rheumatism by means of Athlopboros, the remedy which in the last year or two has attained such favor as a victor over this old enemy of the human race. Calling on Mr. It. B. Watson, the wcll-kno.vu superintendent of the American District Telegraph Com pany, he found that gentleman cheerfully ready to say all tho pleasant things ho could about Athlophoros. "My wife," said Mr. Watson, "was suf fering terribly from rheumatism ; her pains wero both in joints and muscle. So ex cruciating were her agonies when the moved, that sometimes on assuming one position in the morning she would remain in that position all day rather than en dure tho torment of being moved. .1 pro cured a bottle of Athlophoros, and the effect on my wife was as surprising a it was gratifying. Wo had no idea that any medicine could so epeedily remove such an obstinate disease. She was soon cured, and tho cure was complete. Since that she has had no return of the disorder. We speak freely among our friend of the good work of Athlophoros, and have no hesita tion in saying how highly we esteem it." Visiting nearly all tho leading drug tores in the city, it was found that all who had kept Athlophoros had received from their customers marked commendation of its efficacy. One lady had taken six bot tles of it with tho result of a complete cure. At Frizcllc's, on Michigan Avenue, one of the clerks had taken it with excellent effect. This young man, Mr. Cohen, had suffered greatly with rheumatism. Though surrounded by medicines of every description, they did not reach hu case. Mr. Cohen tried Athlophoros, and found that it did for him what noth ing else had been alio to do. From Detroit to Chicago is but a day's ride, and in tho latter city Athlophoros has also accomplished some wonderful results. In Chicago, at 905 West Twelfth street, lives, Mr. William W. Summers, of the well-known firm of Summers, Mor rison & Co., commission merchants, 174 South Water street. Mr. and Mrs. Sum mers gave substantially the following facts : "When Kobbie was taken sick some weeks ago we thought at first that it was only an ordinary cold, but it proved to bo something much more severe. Tho pains were evidently those of rheumatism. We wrapped the boy in cotton and gave him a number of the remedies such as are generally given. Hi agony was dreadful. Wo had to hold him in the bed; his agony was so great. We had two physicians, who did not succeed in making him any better. The poor child's torture was so intense that he asked for a pistol, so that ho might Eut himself out of the way and thus end is sufferings. When he was at his wont wo thought of Katie Gill, who was well known to us, and tho medicine that had cured her. We sent to Mr. Gill's to know the name of the medicine and where to get it. They happened to have some left in a bottle Athlophoros tho name is and they kindly sent it to us. It is surely a very strange aud powerful medicine, for it stopped the bov's pain very soon and very effectually, lie took but a little of it, for there was only enough for about threo doses in the bottle Mr. Gill sent us. This was only a few weeks ago. The boy has had no return of rheu matism. You sco him now as hearty and as happy as any other boy."
