Little Soldiers
MAPLEINE
In your blood are the millions
of corpuscles that defend you
against disease.
To make and keep these little soldiers
healthy and strong, is simply to make
and keep the blood of the ri*lit quality
and quantity.
This is just what Hood’s Sarsaparilla
does — it helps ttie little soldiers in your
blood to fight disease for you.
It cures scrofula, eczema, eruptions,
catarrh, rheumatism, anemia, nervous
ness, dyspepsia, general debility, and
builds up the whole system.

window and runs up the vocal scale on

in
“ W il-li-a m !” which seems to produce
some slight commotion, at length, in a
hoy with a pewter, and a companion fur
nished with shoe brushes, who are light
ening the hours by pitch and toss. Satis
fied with this result, he first opens the
morning paper.
Grenville Rose is not in the least ad
dicted to the pursuit or study of racing;
still, like most men o f his age about town,
lie very frequently hears it talked of. He
knows the names o f the prominent favor
ites for the coming great three-year-old
events o f the season. Has he not more
than one friend who has asked him to
book himself for a Grenwich dinner in
the event o f some Derby contingency com
ing off satisfactorily?
He throw’s his
eye lazily over the sporting intelligence,
and under the head of “ R etting on the
T w o Thousand,” he perceives “ F ive to

“ S’ pose he’ ll about win.

Ah ! we go blundering on in our blind

four hours ahead? W hat a mess P ro vi

W h at shallow’ fools w e seem, after all our

would be bound up with Coriander’s? Can
you not fancy his laughing re to rt: “ I
never ra c e ! 'W h a t’ s Hecuba to me, or
I to ITecuba?’ ” Y e t it w ill be so.
G renville tosses the paper on one side,
and in a careless way takes up his letters.
Tw’o or three are thrown asid e; but his
pulse quickens, and his handsome fea
tures flush a little, ns he catches sight of
that firm, delicate hand he knows so well.
Maude’s letter had been near the bottom
o f the pile, or he had not glanced over
the paper before reading it. That cousin
o f his had wound her w ay into his heart
strangely o f late. H e hardly knew him
self how’ it had all come to pass. H e had
bullied her as a boy ; he even, till quite
lately, had snubbed her as a man.
He
had liked her, ay, loved her, in cousinly
fashion, all his life. H ow w’as he to have
dreamt that the gaw’k.v school girl who
accompanied him in his fishing expedi
tions at Glinn was to grow’ into the love
ly girl Maude had of late blossomed into?
He was no fool, and had as much com
mand over his passions as five-and-twen-
ty, that sets up for no superlative virtue
and lives in the w’orld, can usually lay
claim to. That anything could be more
injudicious than a love affair between
himself, witli mere undefined prospects,
and the daughter o f his ruined, spend
th rift uncle, no one could be more clearly
aware. That if Maude Denison married,
it must be somebody with means and po
sition, he thoroughly understood.
That
he should at present marry anybody, he
quite recognized as an impossibility. And
yet. with all these theoretical axioms
distinctly present to his mind, he was
forced to admit to himself that he w’as
over head and ears in love with his cousin.
That he had never even hinted it to her
was a fact upon w’hich he gave himself
most extraordinary credit. That she had
as yet given him no earthly reason to sup
pose he w’as anything to her but Cousin
Gren was a circumstance that he brooded
over sulkily and desj>ondingly. W ith these
correct and high-principled
views,
it
should have been made matter o f great
gra tu lation ; but you see it w as not. I
am afraid it will ever be so. The right
people never do fall in love w’ ith each
o th er; while, from the days Helen left
Menelaus to the present time, the con
verse o f the proposition seems inexhausti
ble and unchangeable.
Rut all this while Grenville Rose had
been reading Maude’s epistle.
H is face
darkens as he does so, the brow’s contract,
and a curse breaks at last from his lips
in a low’ , guttural tone that bodes bad
times for somebody, supposing that Gren
ville possesses power equal to his incli
nation.
“ That brute P ea rm an !” he muttered.
“ M y instinct didn’ t fail me. B etter I ’d
have dislocated his cursed neck by throw
ing him down stairs that night than this.
And the poor child appeals to rpe to help
h er! W hat can I do?”
Once more he glances at the letter—
again he reads the paragraph : “ Gren,
dear, you have been my resource in all my
scrapes since I can remember. Do come
to my rescue n ow ; what am I to do?
M y childish troubles o f bygone days were
not o f much account, whatever they might

I flare not. Both papa and mother say 1

— you know’ , Gren, it isn’ t. T h ere’s papa,
