CIIAPTEfft VIIL *. Continued. . n the months of July and August yoing and old alike dream of green fields, of woods where the shadows ar* deep and pool, of the seashore where the fresh breezes roll up the blue wares into light bracken upon the shingle, of rocks with deep pools and dark cool cares. It it b;ird in these months to be Becking for work and finding none, while the streets smell like 'S bakery whose windows have not been opened for weeks, and the reflected heat mounts up and strikes your cheeks as with a hot hammer, and the air of the great town seems used up by the breathing of all the millions, and there 1h no refreshment by day or night, and one cannot afford ftult and ice, and the only place you have got for the. evening is hot and close and filled with depressed and melancholy women. Katharine sat there, among the rest, sad and weary, though Miss Beatrice sat beside her, and held her hand, whispering words of consolation and patience, and illss Augusta played solemn music. As for Lily, she came no longer to the drawing room; she had taken a lovely position as figurante in a melodrama; she went to the th?atrc every night, and stood In the f rout, being a pretty girl, and received tifteen shillings a week. The work and the place and the surroundings were J*ot exactly what a careful mother would choose for her child; hut, careful moth ers, reflect that if your child must work, she cannot always choose her work, and her reputation will have to depend upon herself, and not upon the safeguards and precautions arranged for her by her friends. It Is. Indeed, the first condition of woman's work that these safeguards must be aban doned. , Lily was on toe boards, but Kath arine could get nothing to do. She should have remembered that July, August and September are the worst months in the year for a daily gov erness looking after work. But she did not; and she thought continually of her dreadful dreafai and of Lily's picture of the long and miserable life. A girl who has a profession? even if it be only that of a nursery governess? alwaya makes a mistake if she leaves It Katharine made that mistake. She left her profession and went to the reading room of the British Museum instead. Alas! Katharine was not one of those who are clever. Nature destined her, as she destines all but a very few woman, for the home life; she was in tended for love; she was meant to be happy with her lover first, and her husband next, and then her children. Nature meant one thing. Faje, who constantly disregards nature'a inten tions?indeed, they have not been on speaking terms since the days of Adam and Eve? allotted another thing. She was too weak In spirit for the strug gling competition of labor; she wns not clever enough to excel iu any art; she could not tight; she was not eharp enough to see the openings, to push nnd shove, to apply continually, to make herself a burden nnd a nuisance until she could get what she wanted; she could not l?e importunate-other girls do this with bruzen front though with sinking heart. Katharine eould not. Therefore she got no work ex cept at rare intervals ? and the little store dwondled mul shrunk. Then a great misfortune befell them. Lily fainted on the hoards and had to be carried out in the sight ol' the audi ence. Who was forgiven the first time, but she fainted again. This clearly showed that she had contracted vicious habits, nnd the manager dismissed her. And on the little store there were now two to be kept. CHAPTER JX. Tom's Dkap Hand. James Rolfe sat in his uncle's room nt his uncle's table and In his uncle's own wooden ehair. He had succeeded to the business, apparently, as well as the estate. Bundles of papers were laid on the table before him; they Were the papers connected with his uncle's estate, now Ms own. For he had no bu silicas of his own, and his uncle's client.*, if he had any left, had gon?' elsewhere. In his own room .Tames Rolfe, who had lunched copiously, with a pint of stout, slept pinccfully. The offices of Uncle Joseph, deceased, had become a Castle of Indolence. Out side, the world went on. finite uncon scious of the ofllce. Nobody ever looked In. Even t lie postman passed it by without a letter or a parcel. Every body was asleep all day long. Yet five minute*, and this calm wn.? to be rudely dispelled, not to return, so far as concerned the chief, for many n day. I\i fact, it has never since re turned. This afternoon, the holiest nnd the calmest, was the last day of real peace. Two girls, about to cause this Inter ruption. were at this moment in Lin coln's Inn Fields. "I am sure it H the best thing to do. Katharine," said one. "If this man wns really a friend of Tom's, he would nt lejist bo able to advise- and ymi must have rotations. 7 "I do not think he was friend, al though ho wi>s a con', In. But Tom 1"M ;nr to go t<y him if I was In trouble. We c?n but fry, Lily." Suddenly- without the least warning. In ffle M':m ut:<r manner -every of th 'So steeper* w.u startled into COIlS(V.)U*tU '? *. T'ic oPlee h< 11 was rung. Th?*n the chief sat upright, dropped the half smoked cigarette from h:s finger*. and seized the pnprrs tio<l up v.^lh ted tape which lay on 1h?? de-k before him. IT A would he rt's<*ovcnd. whoever it was that was com'ng to d'c lurh him, In t lie act of wrestling villi I 'gal intricacies. The two old clerks jumped In their chairs, and each man seized n pen and dljiped It In the Ink. then, with squared shoulders, and heads bent over their work, and pens that flow with the swiftness of the ready writer, they presented the proper nppearanee of Industry and pressure, though I know not whft they wrote. The office ? It li a well known rule ? must not bp discovered doing nothing. The boy at the door, startled out of slet-i?, lifted his head and threw open ? be pages of a big folio before hhu, containing I know not what old ac counts and entries of bygone business. The Impression of seal and of an over whelming amount of work having been started, he opened the door. The bell bad l?ecn rung by two young ladies, neither of whom was known to the boy. One of them gave him her card? "Mits Capel." ?Tamos Jumped ? there Is no other way fo describe the movement? when he re ceived the card. He had put away his solemn promise and sacred pledge In so remote a corner of his brain that he had almost forgotten the promise and the name of Katharine Capel. "What the devil," he murmured, "does she want?" But when his visitors came In he turned pale, and looked first at the card and then at Lily and then at Katharine, and then at tho card again, and then at Katharine. "Miss Canel?" he said, bowing to Lily, and again looking at Katharine with a kind of bewlktermeut. ?"No; this la Miss Capel." "Is-is yotf nam# Capel T' he askodr Why feboulftiaot her name be Capelt /'You 4o not know me, Mr. Rolfe," said Katharine. "I am? that is, I was ?engaged to your cousin, Tom Addi son." "You were engaged to my cousin yon ?" Ho kept staring at her face. "You?" Then he tried to pull himself together. "Were you 7 Excuse my sur prise, Miss Capel; I had heard of you, but I did not at first catch the name. Yes? certainly? Miss Capel? oh, yes! He always spoke of you by your Chris tian name." "My name Is Katharine Regina." "Katharine Reginn? Regiiia?" he re peated the second name, and still con tinued to gaze into her face, not rudely, but as one who recognizes an old ac qaulntsnce. *"It is a family name.** Mr. Rolfe sat down without asking the ladles to take chairs; this they pro ceeded to do. Rut he seemed unable to take his ej'es off Katharine's face, and he kept wink ing hard with both eyes at once. "Katharine Reglna!" he repeated. "It is a most curious name? and Capel. Oh, yes, I remember," he said, with an effort. "Of course I remember you now. It was a most disastrous en gagement for you. Miss Capel. Tom told mo all ahout it, of course." "I have come to you. Mr. Rolfe," said Katharine, beoanse you were Tom's cousin, and ho told me how you helped riiirn in the matter of his uncle's will, and that you would help me too IX I were In trouble." James bowed with dignity. He had indeed helped his cousin in the most unselfish manner. "I a in In fffeat trouble now." "Anything that I r an do, Miss Capel * ? " ho began. Ifaving now recovered scypewhat from his first surprise. James observed first that both girls presented 1be ap nea ranee of groat poverty; It was legible in their bats, in their Jackets, in Iheir gloves, and 1n their boots. "On'y let tun bear the circum stances'." said James, after making these observations. Perhaps the r^col lei tion of the sa' red pledge and solemn promise was beginning to produce eomo effect upon him. "I am so unfortunately sltuatrd." Katharine explained, "that I do nof know any of my relations. 1 want you tr? advise mo how I am to find t li om ; I am in very groat straits. Mr. Rolfe, and I think if I could find them they might help me." "Yes; that ought not to bo difficult." "My father dhd suddenly a few months before- before I lost Tom. He never tobl mo anything about my rela tions nt all." "Mli! That was unusual. Rut you would find something to help you among bis paper, I should say." "He* left 110 pnpers at all." "Tliut Is more unrsual still." James kept looking at lior in the saino Inquir ing way. "May I ask what was his profession?" "He had none. Formerly he wns In the army. Tie lived upon a pension, or an annuity, of three hundred pounds II year, which hr> draw regit Tnrly once 11 iTe left tio papers behind ltiiu, and received no hM<r.:.

"Your ovn name is Katharine Re ulna and ids was Willmtglihy Capel; i:m1 he had an annuity of thro ?n ndred pounds a year. Who paid him that annuity?" "I do not know.

I Will you help me, Mr. Rolfe. for the sake of your poor dead cousin, who loved me':" The tears rose to the girl's eyes; the breaking: voice, and the attitude of sor row and .poverty and helplessness ought to have made this young man spring from his chair and swear that he was ready to fly to the ends of the earth In order lo help her. That he did not instantly and eagerly proffer his friendly offices was due to a uiost hor rible suspicion? more than a suspicion ?a discovery. The girl's father had received an annual stipend or income of ?300; his name, she said, was WI1 loughby Capel; her description of the man exactly Cflttpsponded with the Captain Harry ^hloughby wlia ubed to cotye regulsjfly once a quuijfcer tQ that Yerjr offl<v fofc'thnt wnie jymuaT stipend; the d^nor of thtt trust money was Mil's Kanerfae Beglna Wlllough* by; more than that, as if that was not enough, the girl's face was exactly that of Captain Wlllougliby; the re semblance was startling; It left no room for doubf; everybody could 6ee It who had known the late captain. As for himself, he remembered Captain Willoughby very well Indeed; on her very first entrance he was struck with the resemblance, and he thought? for getting Katherine and Tom? that It was Captain Willoughby's daughter come in person to claim her rights. She was? she must be? Captain Wll loughby's daughter, and she was come, not to claim her rights, but to ask htm ? him. of all men in the world? to take such steps as would, though this she knew not. lead to the establishment of her rights. "I will advise," he said, coldly, "lo the best of my ability. We might ad vertise. Are yon disposed to spend money in advertising? It is costly." , "I have no money to spend in any thing." ? "That is unfortunate." '*TT ^ou are disposed to help me," Katherlne said, timidly, and meeting no response in his eyes, "will you lend me the money to advertise? I would ask that nn answer should be sent to me under my full name, Katharine Ite glna Capel. That would perhaps meet the eye of some cousin." "Advertising costs a great deal of j money," James said, with averted eyes. , "You had better let me make a few Inquiries first, * Will you write down the late address of your father nn?l the mime of his club? Thnnk you. I will make inquiries, and perhnps we may stnmhle on something. It is certainly unusual" ? he cleared Ills voTee and shut liis eyes half a dozen times in succession?

I am sure, that when you have placed your af fairs in the hands of your solicitor you must not meddle with them your self at all.

The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-lavr of Lydia E. Pinkham, and for many years under her direction, and since her deeease.her advice has been freely given to siclc women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along1 ' from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them selves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Plnltlinm's Standing Invitation: Women suffering from any form of female weak ness are Invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn. Mass. AU letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A Woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken.

Terrible Sculy ITnmor In Fitrhr* All Over ltodjr? Skin Crocked and IHccdliig? Cured l?y Cntleura. T wan afliicted with psoriasis (or thirty five years. It wb? in patches all over my body, i used throe cukes of Cutieura Soap, six boxes of Uintnient and two bot tles of Kcsolvent. in thiny days 1 was completely cured, nnd 1 think permanent ly, as it was about five years ttgo. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red >>pots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot auout tlio size of a silver dollar of Bound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry *cale of white silvery appear ance, and would gradually drop oil. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to sottcn them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That ?caly crust would torin again in 'twenty four houra. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was fn spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If 1 let tho scales remain too long without removing by hath or otherwise, the akin would crack and bleed. 1 suffered intense itch lug, worse at nights after getting warm in bed. or ^lood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
