LOVE AND A SCRAP BOOK

(Continued.) first, andithe yottrag physician.hacLmora trouble than before m restoring his-un willing patient to consciousness. Pa tiently and steadily, however, he worked until she opened her eyes again and looked at him with an expression which he could not understand. Utterly un conscious of haying given any cause for offense, and fully alive to the fact that he had seriously discommoded himself to serve, an entire stranger, he was con firmed m his cynicism by seeing no gleam of gratitude m her eyes, and he cursed her m his heart for a selfish con ventional society miss— an order of being ho heartily despised. Being a thorough gentleman, however, only par* tially corrupted by meretricious philosc* phy, he could not fail to recogriize-the fact that she was a gentlewoman, and his speech was courteous, at least m form. "You say yonr home is not far away," he said. "If you will, direct me to it I will get help and have you carried thither. Your foot is all right now if you will lie perfectly still, but I shall nave to leave you here aione." "I am sorry to trouble you so much," she replied, as coldly polite as he, though her lips were still white from pain, "but there seems to be no alternative. My house is yonder, n pointing, "and some of the servants will come at once if you will tell them. Will you kindly warn them to say nothing to mamma till I get there? Ido not want her to be frighten ed needlessly." He bowed, and m another moment was gone. As the sound of his footsteps and the rustle of pushing through the undergrowth died away the stillness grew intense again. Margaret Latimer closed her eyes and thought deeply. The fury- of rage that had swept upon her when this young stranger so coolly de fied her died away. She had been used to having her lightest word treated as a command, and it; was confusing to have a gentleman say "bosh!" to her, but her native sense after a few mo ments' reflection justified the man. Moreover the shock to her dignity and modesty seemed a trivial thing after she had thought of it. What had he done? He had treated her with the most pro found delicacy and consideration, pos sibly consistent with his duties as a Burgeon, and had, moreover, rendered her a' service which she could hardly overestimate. Supposing she had lain there, as it might easily have happened, all day, even all nigh*, before help came. Supposing she had been moved "before the broken bone was set and she had I been lamed for life. She began to feel very kindly toward the man she just condemned as a ruthless boor. And she remembered, with a slight blush that he was good to look at, and that his manner when he was not employed as a physician was perfect. She could forgive everything but the "bosh!" Yes, and she could forgive that. Meantime Fanning was thinking very little of her and very much of the annoy ance he was put to. Ho had started out for a day of rest, and here he was en gaged m a distinctly disagreeable work of compassion for a woman m whom he had not the faintest interest. However, there was no way to avoid it, and he went on. Presently he came to a large, old fashioned country mansion with spa cious grounds. Near the gate was an old gardener, whom he hailed and informed of the facts. The gardener went at once for the coachman, and all three were Bpeedily driving back to the grove m a i low, easy carriage. Very little was said till the lady was placed m the carriage. Then Fanning lifted his hat and would have turned away, but she detained him with a gest- ! ure. "You will surely not leave me thus," she protested. "I have not even told you how greatly I feel indebted to you for" — Then a spasm of pain turned her face white again, and Fan« ning entered the carriage. "You need not feel indebted," he said very coolly. "I have only done what any physician was bound to do. But I will see you home if you desire it, though your servants could doubtless take you j safely." He remembered what she had j said about her mother, and had hoped to escape a scene of hysteria and thankful ness, but seeing that his patient still suf fered greatly, he felt bound to remain with her. All came — hysteria and gushing thanks, and he was more than thankful when he escaped from the house an hour later, having given his patient a sleeping draught, and assured her mother that no danger was to be apprehended. "At least you will tell me, doctor, to whom I am indebted for my daughter's I preservation," said the sweet faced, white haired old lady, after he had protested for the twentieth time that she owed him no gre,at He fumbled m his pocket and brought out a card which read: I DANIEL FANNING, M. D., • : No. 8 Wkst Fortieth St., : : New York. : Then he strode rapidly away, forget j ting utterly that he had not learned the ! name of the people who had failed to ex cite even a faint interest m his mind. A week later Miss Latimer looked up from her reading and said, "Mamma, how very pretty this is;" and she read: How often is our path Crossed by some being whose bright spirit shed* A passing gladness o'er it, but whose course Leads down another current, nevermore To blond with ours. Yet far within our souls, Amid the bustle of this busy world, Dwells many a thought that lingers closely still Around that image. "Yes, it is pretty," said Mrs. Latimer, "but I don't see anything very remarka ble about it, do you?' Miss Latimer made no reply, but she presently asked for scissors and cut out the scrap, laying it carefully away until she should have time to paste it m hex scrap book.

DISASTER. Daniel Fanning had been burdened m early life with the inheritance of a modest fortune. Having no faintest trace of business faculty and a strong inclination to study he had chosen his profession Continued on page 4

FOOTBALL.

/ SPRINBURN II v ASBBDRTON JUNIORS. The above learns played a very sociahle game at Stave'ey on Thursday, which re sulted m a win for Spriugbiu n by the narrow margin of three points (a try) to nil. Rain fell before and during the match, ■.•ml pre vented any successful attempt at combioed back play. The game consequently waa almost entirely confined to the forwards. This sailed the Sprinaburr* forwards, as, coutrary.to expectation, they proved superior m the loose play, and got on several danger ous forward rushes, which took all the cleverness of the Ashburton backs to stop. The game was characterised by an absence of intentionally rough play, and was played m the very best of spirit, "he Aehburton boys took their first defeat for two years m a sportsmanlike manner, aod acknowledged lhat they were fairly beaten, although they expressed the opinion that if it had been a dry day things would have been different, »8 they possess a splendid quartet of three- > quarters who have plenty of combination, -* hut were unable to utilise it on account of ■ the greasy state of the ground and ball, which made it. imporsible to pass with eny degree of accucacy. Coming to individual pay, for the visitors, Baker at full-back proved the right man m the right place, making no mistakes, and he invariably took the bill wi.hout the semblance of a fumble, and returned it with interest. Of the four three-quatteia, Willis, Alcorn, and Griap played a grand defensive game, and save glimpses of what (hay could do hai ihe ball been dry. The Aahburton wing forward*, Anderson, and Smith fairly outclassed their opponents, beating them every time Of a very even Pet of forwards Brnce, Minnb, Thomas find Eevell ahoce m?»t prominently. Giliman, full back for Spiinjjbum, performed what little he had to do m his usual safe manner. B. Sha'plin and K. Grieve though Bmall, played sound games at half and three quarter respectively, both on attack and defence, and when they get a little more weight will turn out good men. Richards at centre played a grand gamp, and the way he stopped the forward rushea waß a treat) to wimees. Fergus five-eights, made several strong feinting rune," iaj_ should finish up by passine more. Of 'he for^c-rlg, Goldsmith (2), A. Chapman, Hurd'ey, and' Ayrton showed up most prominently. -x' dfter the game the visitors were regaled with a dinner, catered for by Mrs Mcßae, and the good things were much appreciated by the visitors and the home team alike. Indeed such a spread is seldom got up on co short a notice. In the evening & Bocial dance was held m the bal', and, with the songs nnd recitations, wan muoh eb joyed by all who braved the inclement weather. Songs were given during the evening by Messrs Jago, Heasley, Moße°, Chapman, Williß, Bruce, and Rcharda ; and recitations by Messrs Cates, Berg, Moses, Thomas and Bruce. The proceedings were terminated^ by the singing of "Auld iAnesyne," and amid the cheers of the Springbnrn boys th£ At-h burton juniors started on their home-' ward journey, singing joyously as they went.



Holloway's Ointment and PiLt^^ Backing the favorite does not always bring pleasure or prcfib to those concerned m it. '? Frequently the horse no one tbinka much about wins, and those who gain anything are few and. far between. This cannot be said with reference to Holloway's Pills and Oint- ment, fur they never di-appoint tho&e who place faith ib their merits.
