WILLIAM H. BYINGTON, Agent, Gazette Building, - - Norwa-l—k,flonn._, BEATRIX SHARcouRT. “Whom do you think I saw driving with Geer Morton this morning?" asked Mrs. Morris of her great friend, the doctor‘s wife, as the two ladies were enjoying 5 o’clock tea and the general gossip of the parish together one afternoon. “Beatrix Harcourt ” Mrs. Maynard answeied promptly. “Ah, you saw her. too, then. I must say I was astonished. It is well known that young Morton bears the character of being the fastest man in the neigh- borhood. ” “I have long ceased to be surprised atanything Beatrix Harcourt does,” the other lady answered significantly. “If Mr. Kenrick does not mind, I do not see why any one else should trou- ble their heads about her eccentrici- ties.” “Certainly not,” Mrs. Morris agreed. “But, really, Rose, she was laughing and talking in the most giddy mannoI. and Gerald was. bending toward heI until his face nearly touched hers.” “And that is our future vicar’s wifcl. Well, I shall take care my daughters do not see much of her.” And Mrs. Maynard drew herself up with a kind of lofty indignation, as some fresh vis- itors were shown into the room. Poor Beatrix! Her numerous delin- quencieswe-re the subject of many aft-- ernoon tea gossips, and had been ever since she came to Hillchester, four years ago. She certainly was unlike other girls; for, in addition to being a “blue stocking," an! having taken her degree at Oxford, she had a most un- reasonable interest in the working classes-not a mere ladylike interest. which contented itself with calling at their cottages with a few words of good advice and a tract. Ah, no! she had always some plan, or “craze,” as the good people of Hillchester called it, for their benefit on hand-classes for the young glIls, ambulance lec- tures, concerts, teas, what not? For the conventionalities of society ehe cared not at all. She never attend- ed ‘the afternoon teas, therefore she heard no gossip. She had been known even to take the broom off the lame old crossing sweeper at the corner of the road and work away in earnest until there was a passage fit for a queen to walk over. And in spite of all, the vicar of Hill- chester had asked Beatrix Harcourt to be his wife. Well, as'the leaders of society in Hillchester remarked with l ominous sighs, wonders never cease! Nevertheless, it must be confessed that Rev. John Kenrick was in no very enviable frame of mind, as a Week later he wended his way some. what slowly toward his lady lovc’s abode. The gossip which had begun in Mrs. Maynard’s drawing room had spread all over the parish, until a version of it, highly exaggerated and colored, had reached the vicar’s ears. Beatrix was leaning over the drive gate which led to her father’s house. watching for him as usual, and as he saw the glad look of welcome brighten and sweeten all her face at his ap- proach; he said to himself that his darling was as pure and sweet as the wild roses she fastened in her belt. But Beatrix soon discovered that something was amiss, and after the first greetings were over she asked, almost anxiously, “What is the mat- ter, John? You do not look well.” For a full minute Mr. Kenrick did not answer; instead he looked down at her as she stood with one small hand resting upon his black coat sleeve; the sunlight falling with loving touch up- on her hair, which was cut short (an- other point which met with the disfa- vor of the Hillchester matrons), and curled naturally all over her head like ' a child’s. Her lover sometimes laugh- ingly told her that sue had a baby face still, and he was not far wrong, for her expression was singularly untrou- bled and childlike, and‘yet there was a depth of feeling in the honest bin..- eyes which ltold both of strength of character and purpose. “Trix, it is silly, perhaps, but some— thing I have heard to-day has troubled me greatly." “About me 3” Trix asked gayly. “01' what ersh enormity am I accused, John?” and a sudden gravity crept in- to the sweet voice; “I thought you said you minded none of these things?” “I do not,” the vicar answered quickly; “indeed,” gently stroking the soft. yet strong looking hand, “I love you all the better for them, but—it is better to speak out. Trix, have you been driving about with Gerald MOI- ton lately?" The next moment Mr. Kcnrick would have given much never to have asked the question, for Trix turned to him quickly, a world of scorn shining in her blue eyes. “And So, John, this means that you cannot trust me, and you 'chOOSe rather to believe any idle story people may tell." ' ‘ “Tell me there is no truth in it, Trix,” Mr. Kendrick said quietly, though his eyes had clouded with II. deep look of pain beneath her implicl rebuke, “and I piomise you I will be love it.” But Beatrix had removed her hand. and all the sunshine had died out of her bonny face as she said wearily; “Mr. Morton has driven. me over to Custlefields twice this Week. Is there anything else you want to ask me?” No, there was nothing else. )II. Iaemick felt it was almost sacrilegc with those pure eyes looking into his to bieathe the doubts which now seem- ed to him so unwor.thy But, alas! fer the “little rift.” Bea- 'trix.t1ied to talk of other things, tried haul to be her own, bright, merry Self and yet was conscious of an unwonted sense of absolute grief. when at last the ,vicar told --11er he was obliged to go. - ' It was a month later, and Beatrix Halcourt was walking swiftly along the dusty road leading to Castlefields. carrying a small basket containing some delicacy for the sick woman she was going to see. The sound of wheels made her" him her head. and the next moment a doc p, musical'voice said pleasantly: "Miss HaIcourt,n1e you again bound on the same jourync Now, do let me have the pleasuic of giving you a lift.‘ Beatrix hesitated one moment, then she answered frankly, “Thank you so much. You know Jennie. that poor crippled child I told you about? Well, I have had a note from her this mom— ing to say heI mother is very ill and them is no one to do anything for her.” Gerald Morton looked admiringly down at the fair face beside him. It was the young man of Hillchester who had given Beatrix Harcourt the name of “the fair philanthropist,” and it spoke well for the girl that even in the fastest circles her name was never mentioned Quit with respect. When Beatrix reached the little cot- tage, which lay close to a wood five miles from Hillchester, she found everything in a state of confusion. One glance. at the poor woman showed her to be in a high state of fever and slightly delirious, while an ominous crimson rash was beginning to make its appearance on her face and neck. “Why, Jenne, your mother has the fever,” Beatrix exclaimed, rapidly. “Haven’t you sent for a doctor, child, and is there no neighbor who would come and help- to nurse her?” ' “I wrote to the doctor, miss, when I sent your note, but he has not been yet, and as to neighbors, miss, there are none for a mile or more.’ All the morning Beatrix waited, do- ing all she could for the poor sick wo- man, and the afternoon was well on its way when the welcome rap, which surely told of the doctor’s appearance, sounded at the door. Beatrix literally flew to open it, and found-herself face to face not with the doctor, but the vicar. For the last month ever since the gossip about Gerald Morton, in fact, matters had been rather strained be- tween the vicar and his fiancee, but all was forgotten now, as, in the im- pulse of the moment, Beatrix exclaim- l,ed “You must not come in here, John, or touch me, either. Mrs. Carr has the fever " For a moment a look of keen anxi- ety darkened his grave blue eyes, and the next Mr. Kendrick had folded the slight form close in his arms, as he murmured brokenly: “Trixie, my own brave darling, would you have me a greater coward than yourself ‘2" With hI'S‘ a'rms still about her, she told him how Gerald Morton had driv- en her to the cottage in the morning, adding: “It was well he .did, for I should have been an hour later, and alone. ” “Trix, will you forgive me for let- ting that horrid scandal trouble me, even for one moment? Dear heart, I feel I shall never forgive myself.” “Yes, I will forgive you,” Trix. an- swered, gayly, the last shadow gone from her honest blue eyes; “only you must never do it again, as the children say " . The vicar’s low-breathed answer sounded like a blessing, and then Bea- trix hurried him off to see what fur- ther means they could devise for the poor woman’s comfort during the night. A fortnight later all Hillchester was Ithrown into :1 state of dire consterna- tion by the news court had scarlet fever, and was. moreover, so dangerously ill that the doctor almost despaired of her life. Truly, a universal calamity might have befallen the place, for Beatrix’s illness and its cause formed the per- petual topic of conversation. both in the homes of the rich and poor. It happened during one of the worst day’s of Ben trix’s illneSS that Mrs. Morris and her friend, Mrs. Maynard, were walking by the drive gate lead- ing to Beatrix’s home. To their aston- ishment they saw a large crowd of people waiting just outside the door— women with babies in their arms, girls who had stolen a few minutes out of their dinner hour, even one or two tall youths and laboring men. In a moment the door opened and a maidservant spoke a few words ’to the anxious watchers. Evidently it was not good news, for with one accord they slowly and silently turned to go away, and as they passed the two 1:1- dies one woman exclaimed in a broken voice which showed tears were not fa r off: “Ah, well, if We 16se her our best friend is gone, and that’s certain. There ain't many in this world like our Miss Beatrix. Bless her sweet face!” ' ‘ Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Morris walked on in silence. The scenehad touched them deeply, and the eyes of the doctor’s wife were full of tears. while her companion had an unwonted and most unpleasant choking sensa- tion in her throat. The, lesson was learned, though it was bitter. for each felt "what would these good people have cared had I been in Beatrix Har- court’s. place?” But Beatrix, dangerous as her ill- ness was. did not die, and six months later Hillchester “as the scene of :1 gIcateI Iejoicing than had been known fm many a long year, while the won- vices. the glad faces of the people, the kcls and the church bells Iinging out then sweet messages far and wide. ,flll combined to show the love and re- spect with whichiheir vicar and his “wide had so deservedly gained in the sorts of their poop le—éEt hel Leah 1c ‘I‘I'udlo-II', in imam...

But one evening'upon entering the front door and drawing out-his handkerchief he accidentally pulled out his paper of tobacco, and, without noticing it. left it lying on the I floor. .. --.-..._~. ;.‘-";,. When Stones sat down to his tea, his I wife Walked in with the tobacco in her hand, and, looking Stones firmly in the eye, said, “Do you know who this be- longs to?" With great presence of mind Stone-s. turned scowling to his eldest boy,‘and said, with a severe voice, “Immortal Mars! Is it possible that you have be- gun to smoke tobacco, you young re- probate? Where’d you ,get that nasty stuff? What d'you mean by such con- duct, you young villain? Haven’t I told you often enough‘ to let the tobacco alone? ;he jacket off you!" And as he spoke, the sternfather made a grab at the boy, and dragged .Iim out into the entry, where he chas- .ised him with a cane.

Long ringer‘Nails. I't has been computed that the aver- age growth of the finger- ~nail is one- thirty- -sccond of an inch per Week, or a. little more than an inch and a half per year. Thegrowth, however, depends to a great extent upon the rate of nutrition, and during periods of siCk'n‘ess or ab— stinence it is ”retarded. It is understood to go 011 faster in summer than in winter, and differs for different fingers, being most rapid in the middle finger and slowest in the thumb, according to one investigator, and in the little finger according to an- other. The same tWo authorities differ, too, with regard to the equality of growth on both hands, the former holding that the nails on the right hand grow faster than those on the left, but the latter can perceive no difference between them. According to the rate of growth stated, the average time taken for each finger-nail to grow its full length is about four and a half months, and at _. this rate a man of seventy would have renered his nails 186 times. Taking the length of each nail at half . an inch, he would have grown 7ft. 9in. of nail on each finger, and on all his . fingers and thumbs an aggregate length of 77ft. Gin.

For hands of this description make a wash as fol- lows: A teaspoonful of borax,’ a. tea- spoonful of glycerine, ands. teaspoon- ful of eau-de—Cologne. Mix these in? gredients thoroughly together, and.put into a little china. pot with a lid. Anoint the hands with the wash after perform- ing the last ablutions of the evening, and 'allow it, as far as possible, to dry on. It will render the flesh firm; and prevent it cracking or flashing. For clammy, moist hands, rub lemon juice, eau-de-Coldgne, or any spirit thoroughly into them, Inth inside and outside, after washing, and use oatmeal instead of soap occasionally. Vinegar is also a. useful astringment in such a case. When gloves are used for sleeping in, it is better to slit down the centre of the palm, or. even cut it away entirely. These remedies will be found equally "good for the complexion as for the ' hands or the body ogenerally. When the hands have been very bad- i: stained wash them first in hot wa- ter, then rub the stains with lemon juice and salt, and apply the pumice stone. If the stains be very deep. and , refuse to move after several washings, go to your chemist and askvhim to make you up a. lotion or wash, with oil of vitriol in its. composition. This should only be done as a last resource. A slow circulation is a great enemy to a white hand duringthe cold weath- er. For this reason it' is good to rub the hands and arms gently, especially after washing, and under-vests of wool with long sleeves should be worn. However white a hand may be, its appearance is utterly spoiled "if the nails do not receive'proper attention. They should be . trimmed with the knife. and rubbed back with the towel, and. cleaned every time the hands arewashe'd. lithe scarf-skin be pushed gently down hangnails will not .put in an appearance, but if they do, on no account bite or pull them off; asharp . pair of scissors must be used for the purpose.
