I am a very joor man I always must remain so I am afraid it would not do for me to see mudi of any one wilh whom my relations am so pecu liar! Perhaps I am proud but that is the truth." "And you told me a few minutes since that you owed me no ill will!" said Lucy bitterly. "There is a great gulf between us," said be. "You talk of a gulf," cried Lucy, im petuously. "lo you think I cure for money V "No, of course not; but you have it! I dou't care for it, und I haven't itj but then no one would ever believe that I did not care for it but you don't under stand." Lucy sighed. Perhaps she lgan to Lave some dimly-fuint apprehensiun of his meaning to see that he was afraid that if he were too much with her ho might learn to care for her morethan it'wonld lie well for him to do. Possibly she felt that he never would allow himself to love her lest the world should say that Le had wooeil her only to win bnck his unele's wealth. 1'e that an it might, she siirhed, and m'A "Ought we not to wave our bnndkiTcliiefs more vigorously? the peo ple on shore do not seem to seo us!" "Yes, I think we ought. But they can easily see us without our making signals. One thing wo must do, and that is, go up tho hill at once, or we shall have the tide getting in between us and tho steps. Let mo give you my arm!" "h, no, thank you," slm replied, coldly sbe was still wondering what his speeches could mean. Presently, while testing ut tho second flight of steps, she eaiil, "You have been on tho Grand Hoy sinco we wre here togt tlmr. I have picked up your vketcli-lsmk." "My skctch-buik!" cried he. "Oli.thuik you. 1 hail a fancy to revisit the places 1 baw with you." That was preciwly what she hersoif bad been doing. Could It Vat possible that any of the thoughts that had passed through her mind while doing this had al i 80 passed through his? - "I knew who you were," said Lucy "the moment you showed me your sketch." 'Did you, really I I saw that something , bad hapjsjncd, but hud no idea what it could Then you recognized my Work! Miss (.'layering, please accept that little drawing you lilted in tho Exhibi tion." t "Never!" cried she. "Why should all . the generosity be on iny side? You take nothing from me!" "Dy-the-byo, I have your brooch," said he. "I looked for it yesterday, u ml eould not find it I found it this morning." , '"Thank you," cried Lucy. "How pleas d Aunt Esther will lie, and how pleased v I am too! It w a present of my father's to iny mother before they married, and 1 liis father tfvvo it to his betrothed too, and thin ring was given by both of them in the same way. It is a jHisy-i ing," "Oh, is it ?" he exclaimed, with some in terest. "Yes j would you like to look at it T and so ssying she put it into his hand. It was a massive gold ring, and engraved inside were two lines in old letters : My lova Tor mce j M lifn hill lui. "ITow charming!" said he. "It must 1 an old wedding-ring. They all had posies long ago, and it was far prettierwhen they had." "That dermis!" said Lucy laughing. "What do you think was the posy on the ring a great-uncle of mine put on his wife's finger when he married her? I ought to tell you that he bad already had three wives and lost them. This jtoor fourth bride, no doubt, thought that she hml got a ring with somo pretty motto, and instead of that it was:" . If I survive I'll mukoit Ave. He was act ually telling her that if she died she would have a successor!" "Hut don't you think she must have seen the ring before the wedding?" ho in quired, with a smile. "I am sure she did not! Would any woman have married him who had seen that?" "People are wonderfully odd!" said he and somehow or other he became very si lent for awile. Lucy waB silent also, for the sight of the ring and the brooch bail reminded her of all the Kenrick jewelry, the possession of which was such an an noyauce to her. , Mr. Richmond, let us be good friends," she at length exclaimed with some eager ness, and a strong wish to be diplomatic and xrsuasive. "What shall I do to show you how much I wish it?" he replied, with one of his smiles, which were so pleasant to see. "Come and pay me a visit in Chester Square and help me pick out the family jewels which your mother would most value. It makes mo miserable to have them do come." "Please, MisHClavering,"said he, "please remember that we have our pride too. We feel your goodness and kindness, but how can we receive from you in this indi rect manner anything Mr. Kenrick did not wish to give us J" "I hate pride!" cried Lucy. "Really Mr. Richmond, you and your mother have far too much of it!" She looked irresisti bly pretty as she said this, the little air of pique with which she spoke, became her ho well. "If you were in my place you would act as I do," said be. "Besides, remem ber that all these possessions which af flict you so much are things about which I am entirely indifferent. I am a lowly minded, unambitious man. If I have daily bread and health, I want nothing more than a little sunshine." "I understand," said Lucy, in a tone which she knew to be one of slight vexa tion. "You are independent of your fellow-creatures." "1! by no means! I am very fond of my fellow-creatures, when they are of the kind I like. I was intensely happy on the Dorothea.'" They were sitting on the slope of the topmost hill. Lucy had fastened her handkerchief to a stick, and waB waving it with intermittent energy but in her secret heart she did not wish it seen just yet. "Some of the ix'nple over there are quite certain to see us and come," said Hugh Richmond. "Let me enjoy this unexpect ed pleasure for one half-hour longer in jxiace. When I see you waving that white signal with such good will, I feel as if a Imut would come and carry you away in five minutes." "It would carry you, too." "Yes; but it would mean bidding you farewell a few minutes afterwards." "We will talk for half an hour," said she gaily, "and then we must take active measures to procure our release." "None will be needed. Home of the St. Malo people are sure to see us and come of their own accord. Each instant I ex peet to see a tioat put off," "Then, in point of fact, our adventure is not an adventue after all?" "No; it is nothing but an opportunity for a quiet half-hours conversation. "Which we could have any day we liked, said Lucy. He shook his heath and said, "Not many more such pleasures for me." Lucy did not know what to say. Hlie began to sjeak of bookB and pictures) he followed her lead, and talked so well that she let the signal handkerchief fall, am was completely content to stay where she was. The sea was struggling and moan ing below them i they did not heed it ; the hours were passing swiftly, they forgot to mark their flight. He talked anil she lis tened. She listened and he looked at her and each moment he was more and more convinced that she was the prettiest, and sweetest, and gentlest, and most lovable girl he had ever seen in his life. He wished the conversation could last forev er. Could anything bo more romantic than to sit here wave encompassed, alone with tho beautiful girl who had played such a part lu his history? She, all th w hile, was thinking what a dull hie h had lived till now, and what dull, dull people she had dwelt amongst t Mr. Kiclimonda sketch-lioolt, the one Lucy had found, was lying open on In knee ; suddenly a deep shadow fell upon it.

He had not even an umbrella, and now the rain was beginning to fall fast. He gave up for the present the idea of trying to summon help from St. Malo, and ran here and there to look or shelter. The storm was coming from the St. Malo sidej he ran towards the opjiosite clitf, and after some search found on the very edge of it bit of overhanging turf under which the loose soil had crumbled away. This roofed in a littlo space, but very inade- uately. He took Lucy there j and as the rain came in a slanting direction from tho other side, this place of shelter which ho ;iad found was sufficient to protect her. "I won't stay here unless you do," cried she. "Am I to 1 dry, and you get wet?" "There is very little room," said Mr. Richmond. "There is enough for both of us," said Lucy so he crept in and sat down by her. The cliff sloped away Uforothem in brok en terrace-like descents of half hills, half precipices, and they could perceive the heavy rains falling on the now leaden sea. "We are tolerably dry here, but we lose our chance of making the St. Malo jieople see us," said Lucy; however, the rain is so heavy it can't last long." Richmond who was accustomed to study skies, was afraid that it would last; but he said, cheerfully, "After all, this under- cut nit oi paMUiu-iana is a grew nuu lot us. I'll scoop a little more soil out, I think. Sit still, Miss Clavering; I am go ing to work very gently I won't throw any of it on you." He took a thin bit of stone and seooppd away the earth delving in carefully, and leaving a thick massftf pmtecting turf aliove. "It ib not worth while to do that," said Lucy. "As soon as the rain clears away enough to let them see us, we must go and Bhow ourselves. What a pily my people have chosen such an unfortunate day for their excursion to Pinan!" "Are you cold V he inquired vei-y anx iously. Oh, no; I am quite comfortable. Now, really, Mr. Richmond, this is beginning to look more like an adventure." "I hope for your sake it will not be too much of one. Are you hungry ?" inquired Mr. Richmond. "No, I thank you but what o'clock is it?" "Twenty minutes past five." "Where are you going now? Don't put your head out! You will get so wet," cried Lucy. "I must not stay here, I must go to the other sido and see if I can't arouse the jieople on shore." "Not m this ram?" "I dare not wait any longer. We must make them see us now. It will be dark in an hour or two." "Whether you go now or not, we are certain to be seen long before dark. There are always a number of boats about." Will you excuse my taking off my coat?" asked he. "Oh! don't go without your coat," cried Lucy. "What can you be thinking of? Just look how it is raining!" "That is the very reason why I am tak ing it off," said he. "A coat is a coat as long as it is dry ; when once it is wet it is of no use whatever to anyone." He rolled it up, put it in a dry corner, and went. He stood for an hour or more in the drenuhing rain, waving a handkerchief that would not wave, but, let him stretch it out as he might, droped in a wet, soj)- ry 6tring by the side of the stick to which it was fastened. 1 he rain which wetted him would have wetted the St. Mala folks, too; so none were abroad, or none looked over towards the Grand Bey. Heavy as the shower was, Hugh Rich mond never once relaxed his efforts. Ue It tbat he must do all that in him lay to get Lucy away from that miserable jilaoe liefore nightfall. And then he could not help remeiuliering how they had Fat and laughi'd and talked, lelieviiig all the while that each moment might put an end to their captivity, until all at once they bad begun to see it. was by no moans so easy a matter to get nway as they had supjiosed. Hugh Richmond's heart sunk within him when he thought of the deli cate girl who was his companion in mis fortune lming kept here without food or shelter till low water. "We can cross by the causeway alsmt four or five in the morning but if we have to stay here until then she will not 1 able to walk." This was his thought, and it caused him to re double his efforts, and dance and fling bis ai'ins alK)V him, and gesticulate wildly lx'foro the eyes of those who were not there to sec and still the rain fell. It was fulling more heavily now so heavily that it was l'ginning to obscure nil dis tant objects, and presently he could no longer see Ht. Malo, nor indeed anything but a blurred confusion of white rain drops. Even then he did not desist; but sud denly be felt a light touch on his arm he heard a sweet voice say, "Dear Mr. Rich mond, give up trying to make them seo you! Do come away! How can you stay in this dreadful rain?" "How can you come out iu it?" he cried almost angrily; for he was vexed to think she had left her shelter "I could not stay there so long, know ing you were getting wet,'' she answered, simply. "Come back to the cave with me, Let us make up our minds to wait until the tide goes down." Whatever they decided as to that, the thing to lie done now was to get Lucy out of the rain, lie came down from tho bit of wall on which be was standing; he turned to go back with her. He looked at her hat, which sat so daintly on her head that morning it was shapeless, and the feather reduced to pulp; her dress was black instead of grey; her face sphisdiod with raindrops. Nevertheless, he saw she was trying to bo brave and cheerful there was even an attempt ut a smile on her lips. The closely emptied pasture-land was saturated with rain and intensely slippery. She stumbled and foil. She spring to her feet with alaugh.which waa but a faint one but in another min uto she fell once more. He helped her to regain her feet, but this second time ho drew her hand within his arm, and an she still slipped, ho put his arm round her, and supported her firmly. "Do not miinl my helping you in this way," said 1m. "I cannot lot you fall every moment and it rains no hard, we must walk quickly." P B 00MTIMUID.

Six years ago, from the effects of a heavy cold, she was reduced very low with Consumption, and was pro nounced incurable by her physician.

My daughter was con sidered a healthy child until the month of Novem ber, 1H7H, when she was attacked with Kcmittant revcr, wun wtucn sue was sick lor a long time As she was recovering from it she tonka heavy cold, which settled on her lungs, producing aeon sunt hacking cough. As several of iier mother s relatives had died of Consumption, we were much troubled in regard to her case, csicctally as our physician told us that her lungs were weak, and af ter her cough had continued me time, that they were seriously anecled. He prescribed many things for her, principally cod liver oil 4nd stimu lants j but she kept getting worse and worse, until at List he told us that there was no hope for her re covery ; and, to satisly us mat ne nafl done all Hint it was possible lor mm to do, called in two otner doctors. They, after consultation, agreed that she must die, and that all we could do was to make her comfortable while site lived. This was in the month of September. i8m. Although we were as sured by our physician that our little daughter could not get wen, yet we were always iooiiiu over me papers to try and find something that would at least preserve her life for a tunc. One evening I read in the Ai anv Kvknino Timks the statements of many who had men cured ol serious lung diseases liy vour Medicine, and feelini' that tliey at least could do her no harm, I concluded to give tlum atrial. 1 therefore went to tne dtug store 01 Mr. Miller, a gentleman with whom 1 was well acquainted, and asked him what tic knew or thought of your Medi cines..
