A LOVER'S RUSE.
I suppose I had a great deal of
assurance to tell Margaret Stone
that I loved her, knowing her to be
engaged to Uese Bentley,
saved her life one day when her
horses ran away, and she accepted
him, I thought, principally out of
gratitude. Not but what she might
have been honestly in love with him,
for he was handsome and accom
He had
plished, but somehow there was
something unloverlike in his man
mer
toward her that made me
think he was after her money.
I only wished for a chance to
prove that I was right, and it came
at last. Margaret and I were stroll
ing on the beach together by moon
light when she told me of n piece of
good news she had received that
day.
"You know Bid wells, the bankers,
failed last week. They had the bulk
of my fortune in their hands at one
time, and, as I thought, when they
failed.
My guard inn writes me
that he removed that money some
months before."
"I'ermit me to congratulate you,
Miss Stone," I said, extending my
hand.
She looked puzzled as she laid her
little hand in mine, not understand
ing what I meant.
"Miss Stone," I said, "did you be
lieve me when I said I loved you a
month ago ?"
Margaret colored vividly ns she
gave me a doubting look of half
wonder.
"Yes, what of it ? Do you wan't
to take it back now?" She laughed.
"Not I. But in consideration of
my great affection for you I want
you to do a favor for me."
"Name it," she said, looking puz
zled.
"I am gain}; up to the city to-mor
row. Will you humor me by per
mitting me to be the hearer of a let
ter from yourself to Mr. Bentley?"
"That is an odd request."
"I am aware of it. Will you write
Mr. Bentley a letter, asking him to
inquire into this matter of the Bid
well failure, and let you know how
serious a business it really is ?"
"But I don't care about knowing."
"I do."
"Why not inquire yourself, then ?"
"He has so much better facilities
for investigation. The truth is, Miss
Stone, I ain very much interested in
his failure, and Mr. Bentley can find
out all about it for me. But I don't
like to ask him to do so much for a
comparative stranger."
Margaret looked doubtful still, but
she wrote the letter, and I took it to
the city the next day.
llese Bentley grew slightly pale
ns lie read.
"I suppose you know that the
bulk of Miss Stone's fortune was in
the hand of the Bid wells?" I ques
tioned, airlessly.
"I was not aware of it," Bentley
said, losing another shade of color.
"Oh, well, it was. Can anything
he saved out of the crash, do you
suppose?"
"Not anything, I am very sure,"
he stammered. And thinking he
might like to meditate upon the us
peet of affairs, I took my departure,
saying that I would call before I re
turned to take any message he might
like to send.
When I called the next day he
gave me a lelter for Margaret ; but
looked anywhere hut at me as I
took it.
I caught a glimpse of Margaret's
blue dress in a distant part of the
grounds as I drove up to the board
ing house, and without waiting to
go to my room first, I hastened to
lier and gave her the letter.
Then, much as I would have liked
to stay until she had read it, I hud
no excuse for doing so, and there
for I left her.
I wait with something more than
euriousity for her nppearane at
tea time, but she did not come
down at all.
I ate nothing myself, and spent
the evening pacing the grounds
with my cigar and watching her
window. Not so much as a shadow
of what I watched for crossed my
vision. *
Remembering Bentley's face as he
gave me the letter, I could imagine
that he might have written some
thing unpleasant, but even I was
not prepared for the contents of the
missive Margaret placed in my hand
the following morning, coming sud
denly under the trees.
"I suppose that was what you
went to town for ?" she said, with
an angry scorn under which I quail
ed, for I felt guilty ; and as I road I
winced again.
The scoundrel. A more cold
blooded epistle I never perused. If
Margaret had loved him ever so
dearly this would certainly have
ended it. He dissolved the engage
ment without so much as saying "by
your leave." He did indeed say
something about hastening to speak
while there was yet an uncertainty
as to how seriously Bidwoll's failure
had involved other people. But that
was the merest gloss, and only this
extraordinary conduct.
I folded the letter and gave it
back to her without remark.
'real ly you

garet's beautiful eyes.

SO ?'
"I ! Miss Stone !"
"I he" your pardon, Mr. Gurney."
she ..aid haughtily.
"And I beg yours, Miss Stone, for
meddling. I suspected Mr. Bentley,
hut not of anything quite so cold
blooded.
Shall you break your
heart about such a villain ?"
"Indeed, no. But I am very an
gry.
"At whom ; him or me?"
"At both of you."
I suppose I must have looked ter
rible abashed and confounded—I
tried to, for she put a little hand on
my arm, and then would have swift
ly withdrawn it, hut I captured that
frail tiling and held it.
"I suppose I ought to he thank
ful to you," she said, struggling a
little, and blushing in tho most
lovely manner.
"If yon will permit me I will pun
ish him for you," I said gravely.
She looked up inquiringly ;
"By marrying you."
"Oh !"
"Don't you think it would ?"
"Perhaps."
We were quite sure of it the first
time we chanched upon Bentley
after our marriage, his face was as
good as a picture.
"Then let the moon uspur the
rule of day,
And winking tapers show the sun
his way ;

An Explanation
What is tliis "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted ?
If you will remember a ftiw years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un
known,—to-day it is as common as unv
woiJ in the English language, yet «this
word covers only the meaning of anot her
word used by our forefathers in times *
past. So it is with nervous diseasos, as
they and Malaria are intended to coyer
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all arc caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.

How a Hedgehog Kills a Serpent.
A foreign paper describes the
proceeding as follows : The hedge
hog cautiously approached the sleep
ing reptile and seized the end of his
tail between his teeth. Then he roll
ed himself up into a compact «ball
and awaited developments,
snake, awakened by the pain, turn
ed upon his enemy and fought with
his fangs. The hedgehog, retaining
his hold, allowed himself to he drag
ged back and forth during the strug
gle, and, meanwhile, the serpent's
jaws had become lacerated and use
less from constant assault upon the
spines of its enemy. In a few min
utes the serpent had become ex
hausted with his efforts, and the
hedgehog, unrolling himself, disem
boweled the serpent and ate his
meal. In this case the hedgehog
does not kill the serpent directly,
but obliges him to kill himself by
dashing upon the sharp spines.
