H air Splits
“ 1 h«ve used Aver’* Hair Vigor
for thirty years. It is elegant for
a hair dressing and for keeping the
hair from aplitting at the ends.” —

splitting is done on your
own head, it loses friends
for you, for every hair of
your head is a friend.

splitting. If the splitting
has begun, it will stop it.

cern. No thought of the benefit likely
j to accrue to himself from the misfor­
tune o f his kinsfolk entered his brain as
he read the letter; all he felt was sheer
sorrow. And June, the tenderest hearted
creature in the world, cried for pity o f
the poor bereaved wife-whose anguish
she was now fully able to comprehend.
W hat could they do for her? TTiey laid
their heads together and made all sorts
of plans by which ultimately her grief
was to he lightened, and then, between
them, they wrote her the kindest letter
that two sympathizing young hearts could
devise.
And *o they retraced their steps slowly
homeward. In Paris they received the
news of Sir Thomas’ death.
The rejoicings and honors that had
been planned for the young couple’ s re­

he would glad* put down five hundred

quish the idea. :
Blit this uer ladyship was not dispos­
ed to do. Her mother-in-law had told her
that this step fvas due to her position,
and June, bcini young and keenly dis­
posed for pleasure and enjoyment, had
rather set her heart on a London season.
Tom gave in to everything she wished,
except about th« baby. I f she had known
that Tom’s obstinacy was being fostered
by Agnes, she would probably have set
very vigorously to work to counterbal­
ance that amiable young lady’s influence.
Agnes atfiefted an unbounded devotion
to Tom’s son and heir; perhaps she felt
it. She ingratiated herself with the
nurse, waylaid her when she walked
abroad, paid constant visits to the nur­
sery at such times as June was likely to
be out driving. This brought her into fre
quent contact with Sir Thomas, and he
became quite grateful for her devotion to
liis child and entirely forgave and forgot
the had turn she had done him in trying
to delay his marriage. She made little
innuendoes, accentuated by sighs or notes
o f exclamation. IIo w could June leave
that darling? How could anyone, sur
rounded by such blessings, with such a
child, such a husband, want to quit them
for a life such as people led in London
heartless, selfish, unsatisfying? What
could compensate for home joys. For her
part, it was utterly incomprehensible to
her. Tom defended his wife—said she
was young and beautifnl and fond of
pleasure; what more natural than that she
should like to go into society? Besides,
it was chiefly his mother’s doing, who had
persuaded her. But Agnes’ words cer­
tainly
him in a tender spot.
“ But for both of yotr tn
leave that darling!” cried Agnes, with a
tear iu her eye. “ Suppose he should he
seized with convulsions, or something were
to happen to him? Servants are never
of any use in an emergency.”
"O h ," said Tom, not without a sense of
alarm at her words, “ I shall be here most
of the time.’*
“ June will not let you. She will not
stay in London without you. I wonder it
dot*s not occur to her how dreadful it is to
leave that angel to hirelings!”
“ June wants to take him with us; she
is most anxious not to be parted from
him.”
"B ut it would be madness to take him
to London. Here, you know, he has the
purest milk from your own cows, and I
have heard that hundreds and thousands
o f babies die in London of typhoid fever
from impure milk.”
Tom, only too ready to take alarm, vow­
ed to himself that, whatever happened,
that precious life should not be endanger­
ed by n visit to the metropolis.
“ One thing,” said Agnes, with fervor,
” 1 shall go up to the H all every day to
see the darling, and I don’t think any­
thing will escape my eye. I suppose,”
hesitating, “ June will not consider me too
officious, will she?”
"Officious!” replied Tom, heartily; “ she
will be tremendously grateful to you.”
“ And—and when you are in town, shall
I write you about him? I could tell you
a thousand particulars about your darling
that servants would not think of writing.
And writing is naturally a great effort to
them.”
“ W ill you?” cried Tom. “ That will be
awfully good of you.”
” 1 shall write to you,” proceeded Agnes,
in a low voice. “ I suppose June will not

This was too much for June. She flings
herself into a chair and gives vent to a

worse.
“ I wish we had never come to London

silent. But silence is always exasperat­
