There was no doubt whatever as to her identity; I did not hesitate a moment; the lady in brown was Miss Holbrook, and she was an old lady, a dear, bewitching old lady, and as I stepped toward her, her eyes brightened they, too, were brown! and band she put out her brown-glovewith a gesture so frank and cordial that I was won at once. "Mr. Donovan Mr. Laurance Donovan I am Bure of It!" "Miss Holbrook I am equally confident!" I said. "I am sorry to be late, but Father Stoddard's message was delayed." "You are kind to respond at all," she said, her wonderful eyes upon me; "but Father Stoddard said you would not fall me." "He is a man of great faith! But I have a trap waiting. We can talk more comfortably at St Agatha's." "Yes; we are to go to the school. Father Stoddard kindly arranged it. It Is quite secluded, he assured me." "You will not be disappointed. Miss Holbrook, if seclusion Is what you like tint and d seek." I picked up the brown bag and turned away, but she waited and glanced about. Her "we" had puzzled me; perhaps she had brought a maid, and I followed her glance toward the window of the telegraph office. "Oh, Helen; my niece, Helen Holbrook, is with me. I wished to wire some Instructions to my housekeeper at home. Father Stoddard may not have explained that It is partly on Helen's account that I am coming here." "No; he explained nothing merely gave me my Instructions," I laughed. "He gives orders in a most militant fashion." In a moment I had been presented to the niece, and had noted that sbe was considerably above her aunt's height; that she was dark, with eyes that seemed quite black In certain lights, and that she bowed, as her aunt presented me, without offering her hand, and murmured my name in a voice musical, deep and full, and agreeable to hear. She took their checks from her purse, and I called the porter and arranged for the transfer of their baggage to St. Agatha's. We were soon in the, trap with the bays carrying us at a lively clip along the lake road. "There's a summer resort some where on the lake; how far is that from the school?" asked the girl. "That's Port Annandale. It's two or three miles from St Agatha's," I "On this side and all the replied. way to the school there are farms. Port Annandale lies yonder." "Of cpurse we shall see nothing of it" said the younger Miss Holbrook with finality. I sought In vain for any resemblance between the two women; they were utterly unlike. The little browu lady was Interested and responsive enough; she turned toward her niece with undisguised affection as we talked, but I caught several times a look of unhapplness in her face, and the brow that Time bad not touched gathered in lines of anxiety and care. The girl's manner toward her aunt was .wholly kind and sympathetic. "I'm sure it will be delightful here, Aunt Pat. Wild roses and blue water! I'm quite la love with the pretty lake already." Thla was my first Introduction to I the diminutive of Patricia, and It seemed very fitting, and as delightful as the dear little woman herself. She must have caught my smile as the niece so addressed her for the first time and she smiled back at me In ber charming fashion. "You are an Irishman, Mr. Donovan, and Pat must sound natural." "Ob, all who love Aunt Patricia call her Aunt Pat!" exclaimed the girl. "Then Miss Holbrook undoubtedly hears It often," said I, and was at once sorry for my bit of blarney, for the tears shone suddenly in the dear brown eyes, and the niece recurred to the summer landscape as a topic, and talked of the Glenarm place, whose stone wall we were now passing, until we drove Into the grounds of St Agatha's and up to the main entrance of the school, where a Bister In the brown garb of her order stood waiting. I first Introduced myself to Sister Margaret, who was in charge, and then presented the two ladles who were to be her guests. Sister Margaret said Just the right thing to every one, and I was glad to find her bo capable a person, fully able to care for these exiles without aid from my side or the wall. "Helen, If you will see our things disposed of I will detain Mr. Donovan a few minutes," said Miss Holbrook. "Or I can come again In an hour I am your near neighbor," I remarked, thinking she might wish to rest from her journey. "I am quite ready," she replied, and I bowed to Helen Holbrook and to Sister Margaret, who went out, followed by the maid. Miss Pat you will pardon me If I begin at once to call her by this name, but It fits her so capitally, it Is bo much a part of her, that I cannot resist Miss Pat put off her bonnet without fuss, placed it on the table and sat down In a window seat whence the nearer shore of the lake was visible across the strip of smooth lawn. "Will you please close the door?" she said, and when I came back to the window she began at once. "It is not pleasant, as you must understand, to explain to a stranger an intimate and painful family trouble, But Father Stoddard advised me to be quite frank with you." "That Is the best way, if there is a possibility that I may be of service," I said In the gentlest tone I could command. "But tell me no more than you wish. I am wholly at your serv ice without explanations." "It is in reference to my brother; he has caused me a great deal of trouble. When my father died nearly ten years ago he lived to a great age he left a considerable estate, a large fortune. A part of It was dl vlded at once among my two brothers and myself. The remainder, amount ing to t,000,000, was left to me, with the stipulation that I was to make a further division between my brothers at the end of ten years, or at my dls cretlon. I was older than my broth ers, much older, and my father left roe with this responsibility, not know lng what It would lead to. Henry and Arthur succeeded to my father's business, the banking firm of Holbrook Brothers, In New York. The bank continued to prosper for a time; then it collapsed suddenly. The debts were all paid, but Arthur disappeared there were unpleasant rumors" She paused a moment, and looked out of the window toward the lake, comes!" "You are very reassuring, no doubt we shall not need to call on you. And I (hope you understand," she continued, "that It Is not to keep the money that I wish to avoid my brother; that If It were wise to make this further di vision at this time and It were for his good, I should be glad to give him all every penny of it" "Pardon me, but the other brother he has not made similar demands you do not fear him?" I Inquired, with some hesitation. "No no!" And a tiemulous smile played about her Hps. "Poor Arthur! He must be dead. He ran away after the bank failure and I have never beard from him since. He and Henry were very unlike, and I always felt more closely attached to Arthur. He was not brilliant, like Henry; he was gentle and quiet in his ways, and fa ther was often Impatient with him. Henry has been very bitter toward Arthur and has appealed to me on the score of Arthur's It took all his own fortune, be says, to save Arthur and the family name from dis honor." She was remarkably composed throughout this recital, and I mar veled at her more and more. Now, after a moment's silence, she turned to me with a smile. "We have been annoyed in another way. It is so ridiculous that I best tate to tell you of "Pray do not you need tell me it" nothing more,- Miss Holbrook." "It Is best for you to know. My niece has been annoyed the past year by the attentions of a young man whom she greatly dislikes and whose persistence distresses her very much indeed." "Well, he can hardly find her here; nnd If he should" Miss Holbrook folded her arms upon her knees and smiled, bending toward me. "Oh!" she exclaimed; "he isn't a violent person, Mr. Donovan. He's You need fear Billy, absurd, idiotic! no violence from him." "And of course your niece is not In tcresled he's not a fellow to appeal to her imagination." "That is quite true; and then In present unhappy circumstances, with her father hanging over her like a menace, marriage Is far from ber thoughts. Sbe feels that even If she were attached to a man and wished to mairy, she could not I wish she did not feel so; I should be glad to see her married and settled in her own home. It's a very dreadful thing, as you can understand, foV brother and sister and father and child to be ar rayed against one another." 1 wished to guide the talk Into cheerfuller channels before leaving, Miss Pat seemed amused by , the thought of the unwelcome suitor, and 1 determined to leave her with some word In reference to him. - (TO BB CONTINUED.) "My Bon was about three weeka old on hla when I noticed a breaklng-ou- t cheeks, from which a watery substance oozed. A snort time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician, who at once pro-- ' oounced the disease eczema. The little fellow was under his treatment for about three months. By the end pf that time, he seemed no better. I became discouraged, and aa I had read the advertisements of Cutlcura Remedies and testimonials of a great many people who had used them with wonderful success, I dropped the doctor's treatment and commenced the use of Cutlcura Soap and Ointment, and In a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly better. When he was . about seven months old all trace of the eczema waa gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out In bolls which I cured with Cutlcura Soap and Ointment Surely be must have been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment I used the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Oint ment, nothing else, and when ' two years old he waa the picture of health. Ills complexion was soft and beautiful, and his head a mass of silky curia. I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cutlcura Remedies."
