CHAPTER I.
There nre conflict in most lives real
hand-to-liantl combats, that have to be
fought, not with any fleshly weapons, but
with the inner forces of the being bat
tles wherein the victory is not always to
the strong, where the young and the
weak and the little ones may be found
abiding nearest to the standards.
Such a conllict had come to Alison
Merle, breaking up the surface of her
smooth outer life, and revelling possible
shoals and quicksands, in which many of
her brightest hopes might be wrecked.
"It is hard. I do not know tiiat even
If Aunt Di think it right I shall ever
have the heart to do it," murmured Ali
son, talking to herself in her agitation,
after the manner of older folk. "I have
just rooted myself in this dear place, and
the soil suits me. I could not flourish
anywhere else: and," finished Alison,
with a quaint little smile, "sickly plants
ore worth nothing."
To any ordinary spectator the interior
of that little room would have presented
b picture of perfect serenity and abso
lute comfort. Even the young creature
comfortably seated in a chair by the win
dow, with an open letter and a cluster
of deep red roses lying among the folds
of her white gown, presented no disturb
ing image, though th cheek had lost its
wonted fresh color, and the dark, dreamy
eyes had a look of doubt that was al
most pain in them.
Two years ago she had been sixteen
then, and, oh, how discontented and ill
and unhappy she had been. It was not
only the loss of her mother, it was her
own incapacity for responsibility, her
morbid dislike to her surroundings, that
had fretted all her fine color away.
Change of air would do her good, and
then Aunt Diana had come down upon
them with the freshness of a moorland
breeze.
"You must give your eldest girl to me,
Alnslie," she bad said to Alison's father:
"she wants care and cherishing more than
Miss Leigh has time to give her." And,
of course, Apnt Diana had her way.
Instead of the whir of machinery for
her father's sawmills were just behind
their house Alison had now only to
listen to the soft flow of the river that
elided below the green lawns and shrub
beries of Moss-side; instead of waking
up in the morning to look across the dusty
shrubs and trees to the vast wood piles
and masses of unsawn timber, that seem
ed endlessly between her and the blue
Eky, Alison's eyes had now the finest
prospect; one shaded garden seemed to
run into another, and when the willows
were thinned or bare in winter time, what
a view of the river and green meadows on
4he opposite side !
The moral surroundings were almost as
much changed. Instead of Miss Leigh's
dry method of instruction. Aunt Diana
had placed within her reafh many a
pleasant short cut to knowledge, had sug
gested all sorts of enviable accomplish
ments : monpy was not stinted where Ali
son's talents could be turned to account.
In this pleasant but bracing atmos
phere Alison had thriven and grown. She
was still a tall, slim girl, somewhat youth
ful in look, but with plenty of warm life
and energy about her: and though the
dark eyes had still their old trick of
dreaming, they sepmed to dream more
happily, and the shadow did not lie so
deep In them not, at least, until the
June afternoon, when Alison sat sighing
and visibly disturbed with her lap full of
roses. It was evident at last that she
found her thoughts too painful, for after
another half hour's Intense brooding she
suddenly jumped up from her seat, scat
tering the flowers where they lay unheed
ed on the Indian matting, and walked
abruptly to the door. Siie had dropped
her letters, too; but she went Iwck and
picked them up. not replacing them in
their envelopes, and then she wont out
Into thp passage.
A dark oak staircase led Into a little
square hall, fitted up with bookcases like
a library, with a harmonium on one side;
a glass door opened Into a conservatory,
through which one passed Into the gar
den. Alison turned the handle of a door just
opposite the staircase, and stood for a
moment hesitating on the threshold.
What a pleasant room that was, half
atudio and half drawing room, full of
cross lights, and artistically littered wIUi
an odd jumble of medieval and modern
furniture oak chairs and cabinets, has
ketwork longes, tiny tea tables, fit for
Liliputian princesses, and hanging cup
boards of quaint old china that gave warm
coloring to the whole, Alison's eyes were
still fixed on a lady who stood with her
iack toward her, painting at an easel.
"Well, child, what now?" The voice
was nicely modulated, clear and musical,
but the manner slightly abrupt,
Alison came forward at once and In
spected tlie picture. "It Is very pretty,
Aunt DI," sho said, forgetting her own
worries In a moment. "It Is one of your
best. I think I see what you mean, but
to me it is all beautiful ; that old man
a pensioner, Is he not? and that poor,
tired sheep, that seems to have dropped
down by the way, loft behind by tiie
flock, Is bo suggestive of the title, 'Noon
tide Itest."'
1 "That Is what I intended. You an
no Intelligent child, Aille; both tho man
and tho sheep must bo old; it is not for
young creatures to rest at noontide $ my
old pensioner has already borno the bur
den and heat of tho day."
"Of course, I see what you mean,
Aunt DI."
"My pnrablo Is not hard to read," re
plied Miss Carrlngton, with n smllo, but
as Alison studied tho picturo with In-
, creased Interest and admiration, a pair
' . . , . . i ..i . .i
oi surewu, Kinuiy eyes were siimyiug mo
girl's face.
"Go and put yourself in that easy
chair opposite, and tell mo all about it,"
she said at last, rousing her by a good
humored little imsh. "I must finish this
brnnch If 1 am to enjoy my night's rest,
but I can listen to any ntnount of let
tered woes." with a suggestive glancu at
Alison's hand.
"Oh. Aunt DI, how do you find out
things so?" stammered Alison; then, as
though used to obedience, she moved to
the chair that was always reserved for
Miss Carrington's visitors, whom she was
wont to entertain after n fashion of her
own.
"I wonder how long I am to havo pa
tience," observed Miss Carrlngton. paint
ing on industriously, as Alison sat with
drooping head, looking at her letters, with
out offering to read them. "I am quite
sure those are Itudel's straggling charac
ters; that boy's handwriting is a disgrace
to the family ; it has put him out of my
will forever; fancy one's nephew bclug
such a sorry scrlbo."
"Rudei does write badly," returned All
sou, with a faint little smile, "but I like
his letters better than Mlssie's; there Is
one from Miss Leigh, too; do you admire
her handwriting. Aunt Di?"
"No; it Is too thin and angular," re
turned Miss Carrlngton, severely: "It
wants freedom and breadth ; It reminds
me too much of Miss Leigh herself."
"I do not think we nre any of us very
fond of her," interrupted Alison. "I know
she fidgets father dreadfully, and Roger,
too. though he is so good to her."
"Roger Is good to everyone but him
self," responded Miss Carrington : "but
even he, with all his good nature, has
owned to me that Miss Leigh has a very
trying manner. You see. Alison, fussy
people make poor companions. Miss
Leigh has never leisure for anything but
her own worries; she Is too overweighted
for cheerful conversation ; if she could
forget Poppie's misdemeanors, and Mis
sie's pcrtness, and Rudel's roughness,
and the servants' failures for about half
an hour at a time, I could quite fancy
Miss Leigh a pleasing companion ; but
now let me hear her letter."
"It is dreadfully long," sighed Alison,
as she reluctantly obeyed. It was evi
dent that she wished Miss Carrington to
read the letters for herself, but Aunt
Diana held a different opinion.
"My dear Alison," it began, "I am
afraid that my weekly account will be
little more cheering than the last ; in
deed, I nm arriving slowly at the con
viction that, unless some change be made
in the household arrangements, I shall
be compelled, however reluctantly, to re
sign my post."
"Humph! that looks bad," from Miss
Carringfon.
"I have done all I can in representing
to your father the miSchief that must
result from his injudicious treatment of
Mabel ; she Is lwcomlng so thoroughly
spoiled, so entirely her own mistress, that
no amount of reasoning has any efTect
upon her. I do not wish to lay any un
due stress on her behavior to myself;
but her treatment of Mr. Roger, and the
bad example that she sets to Poppie. not
to mention the constant bickering that is
always going on beween her and Itudel,
are quite destroying the harmony of the
household. You may imagine, my dear
Alison, how trying all this is to a person
of my sensitive tempprament.
"I always said it was a black day for
us when Miss Carrington took you nway
from The Holms. With all due deference
to your aunt's benevolence and good feel
ings. I can not help thinking that a
daughter's place is with her widowed
father. Of course, you will talk the
matter over with your aunt, and perhaps
you may be able to assist me to some so
lution of our difficulties.
"PATIENCE LEIGH."
"Patience has changed to impatience,"
muttered Miss Carrington, grimly. "Sen
sitive people never own to being out of
temper, but I should have said myself
that there was a spice of ill-temper In
that letter. Poor Miss Leigh is decided
ly ruffled."
"She never could manage Mlssle; I al
ways knew that," returned Alison, sor
rowfully. "And how old is Mabel, or Missie, as
you call her?"
"Sixteen last birthday, Aunt Diana."
"numph ! there Is not a more trouble
some age."
"Aunt Di, I have something very seri
ous to say. These letters came two or
three days ago, and I have been thinking
alxnit thejn ever since. I do believe Miss
Leigh is right in what she says, and that
I am shirking my duty."
"Since when?" a little dryly.
"Since I got quite well and strong and
happy, about a year ago," returned Ali
son, nnswerlng most literally. "I ought
to have gone back then, and not have
stopped on here quietly, taking the good
of everything, and enjoying myself just
as though I had no duties, and no place
In life. It is all my fault if Missie Is
getting the upper hand, and making ev
ery one uncomfortable, I ought to go
home to father and Roger."
There was no immediate answer to
this, but in another moment Miss Car
rington had walked to her slowly, and
then, standing beside her, her hand strok
ed the girl's hair with a mute caressing
gesture. "Do not cry about It, Allie,"
sho said presently; but her own voice
was not quite so clear as usual. "It is
not a thing o le decided In a hurry; we
must look at it all around; Impulse Is
never a sure guide. No one Is quite their
own mistress, even at eighteen, and I
am afraid you will have to ask my leave,
unless you prefer running away."
"Oh, will you let me go, Aunt Di?"
with a sudden start of Joy, as though the
knots that hor conscience had tied were
suddenly cut through In a most unexpect
ed way,
"My dear, if it be right I will help you
to go," was the expressive but somewhat
curt answer to tills; but as she spoke,
Miss Carrington's hands pressed the girl's
head a little heavily.
"Now," she continued, with a visible
effort, "we must put all these trouble
somo things nway for the present; there
Is tno dressing bell, and we havo only
tlmo to get ready for dinner, and yqu
know It Is our evening at Frrnlelgh, and
wo shall havo to bo choerful for Mr.
Moore's eake."
CHAPTER II.
An hour and a half later Miss Carrlng
ton nnd her niece wero walking quickly
down one of the garden paths until they
cnnie to a little gate set In tho hedge; un
latching it, they passed Into a neighbor
ing garden, nnd then turned their face
in tho direction of n low white house,
with a veranda running all round it, and
roses In profusion running over It. As
they did no, the notes of a violin, evi
dently played by a practiced hand, reach
ed them. Miss Carrington's faco bright
ened, and, making a gesture to her com
panion to move softly, sho stopped up to
a window and looked through It. The
room, If It were a drawing room, was al
most as heterogeneously furnished os her
own, but It bore the character of a li
brary. Two of the walls were lined with
bookcases; a grand piano and a harmo
nious occupied some of the space; there
was a round table littered with books,
and a superfluity of easy chairs In every
stage of comfort, nrrnnged more with n
view to ease than appearance. A nearer
inspection would have pointed out certain
bachelor nrrangemento some costly Turk
ish pipes; n pair of pistols, splendidly
mounted; some silver cups and tankards,
with various inscriptions on them, all en
graved with the name of Grevllle Moore,
and purporting to be certain prizes In
the hnlf-mlle race, the high jump, throw
ing the cricket ball nnd other feats of
prowess, performed by some youthful atb
lete.
An elderly man. with a, long white
beard and mustache, In a black velvet
coat, sat with his back to the light, play
ing the violin. Ills face, seen In repose,
was clear cut and handsome, In spite of
tlie deep lines that tlmo and perhaps
many cares had traced upon It: but his
eyes were cast down, as though In deep
meditation, an habitual action, for Mr.
Moore had been blind half his life.
He was playing from memory an ex
quisite fugue from Rach. The thin, some
what wrinkled hand handled the bow with
a precision, a delicacy, a masterly knowl
edge, that seemed surprising In his situa
tion. Apparently he was lost himself In
enjoyment of the sweet sounds that he
had conjured up In his darkness, for a
smile played round his Hps as the har
mony widened and vibrated, and his foot
softly tnoved as though In unison. In a
moment the fugue was ended and the bow
lowered.
"Is that you, Sunny? Little witch,
why have you stolen a march on the
blind man? Of course, you have flown
through the window."
"Aunt Diana set me the example," ro
truncd Alison, demurely. "How do you
do again, Mr. Moore?"
"Oh, nicely, nicely; time always passes
quickly with me in my own special world.
Have you given your aunt her favorite
chair? How does the picture progress,
Miss Diana? Sunny tells me it Is one of
your best."
"Would you have me praise my owii
work?" returned Miss Carrington, bright
ly. ' "I must leave you to Alison's criti
cism. I hope to do something good be
fore I die, and if I do not succeed, well,
my life will have been happier for the
trying."
(To be continued.)
Saves tho Pupil' Teeth.
The dental statistics gathered In
many European cities have revealed
such un nlarmlng condition of nffulrH
that Germany, at least, has decided to
adopt combative measures.
In nil large towns dental clinics havt
been founded, consisting, as a rule, of
specially fitted up rooms in one of the
central schools.
Fully qualified dentists nre appointed,
who devote their whole time to their
duties, but In Stuttgart the work Is
done voluntarily by the local dentists.
That such a movement Is neecssury cun
scarcely be doubted when one learns
that of mnny thousands of boys and
girls examined from the ages of 8 to 13
only 2 per cent had n perfectly healthy
set of teeth. To give an Idea of the
nmount of work done In n year ut
Darmstadt schools It Is necessary to
quote the figures of 1903v During the
year 1,370 children were cxamljicd ind
1,501 teeth were filled, while 1,871 wero
extracted. In Strasshurg 2,000 children
were examined, OIK) teeth were tilled
and 2,012 were extracted.
Another interesting fact Is that -10
per cent of all teeth examined wero
bud. The method of work Is simple;
the teacher takes bis class to the den
tist, who examines each month quick
ly nnd marks on the card which each
child has bronght with it whether
treatment Is necessary. If so the child
must come again on n Saturday.

Most people believe that drugs af
fect the brain. Yet this apparently Is
not so, according to physicians. Drugs
no more affect the brain than
does Insanity that Is, not at all! ex
cept alcohol, which does Injure the
brain, though not at nil on account of
its mental efferts, but for the very
different reason that alcohol has n
chemlcul nihility for the albumen and
fats of tho tissues. Ily this chemical
action It slowly niters nnd damages
brain itssue, but this result In no
wlso differs from similar alterations
produced by alcohol In tho tissues of
tho liver and of the kidneys. Tobac
co is a powerful poison, nnd yet no
autopsies can show tho yeast differ
ence between tho brain of a lifelong
smoker and that of one who never lit
n cigar. Likewise, tho bruin of nn

any other brain, and so on for tho
rest. Drugs do affect tho mind and
will power, but not tho brain substance
itself.
KxprrlntriKu with Stable Mntinrn,
At tho Maryland agricultural sta
tion two sots of experiments with sta
ble mnnure one covering three years
and the other seven years havo been
conducted.
Tho results as a rule favored the
uso of fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotten ma
nure. Tho best results were obtained
by .applying tho manure as long In ad
vanco of the time the crop was to use
It as possible As between applying
fresh and rotted manure before and
after plowing, tho results favored ap
plying fresh inanuro ns a top dressing
nfter plowing. In a comparison of
plowing under mnnure In the fall nnd
spring, the differences were slight, but
uniformly In favor of allowing the
mnnure to remain on the laud during
tho winter nnd plowing it down In the
spring. Subsolllng In addition to deep
plowing did not show sulllclent advan
tage to warrant tho extra expense In
volved. The use of kalnlt with the
manure seemed to exert a beneficial
influence every year, and It wis moro
marked in dry than wet seasons. The
growth of crimson clover was bettor
on soils receiving fresh manure than
on those trcnted with rotted manure.

It is now no uncommon sight to see heavy loads of grain being drawn
along country roads by traction engines Instead of horses. The machine In
