CAINENG HHS CONSENT.

The afternoon sun was drawiig long level bars ot light wCcross the \ ely el Reass \ hich slop “lf down to the silv rt ridyves of sand along the sea-shore ; th< curling fringes Ol snow-white foam broke w ith a sott murmurous sound on | the beach, and Pennie Wingate sitting | with her book on hev lap, under the} g ndow a low branched tree, could | just detect, through the sweet melody | of dreamy summer S¢ nnd. a firm, free! footstep on the rocky ledge beyond, a footstep whose echo brought ihe color t» her en vck and the iow y sparkles on | hie ry eye.

Penelope Wingate was very pretty — jist cighteen, with large, dark-blue eyes, ‘b-own shining hair, and skin soft and translucent as the mother-of-pearl. She was slightly above the medium size, with that graceful swaying motion of cvery limb that must necessarily be born with one, for art never can imitate its supple ease.

Yes, she was very pretty, and Hugh Barton thought, as he approach- e| and saw her, an unconscious tableau i: herself. He himself was a fit mate for her, in his tall, vigorous manhood, dark and brilliant, with a certain Cas- tillian style of beauty.

No wonder that Pennie Wingate had learned to love him with all the earnest- ness of her noble, womanly nature.

‘Alone, Pennie,’ he said, pausing as his shadow fell across the pages of her

sO

Book. ‘I did not anticipate so good an opportunity to ask you to go with me on the beach to-morrow. Will you

allow me the pleasure of becoming your escort ?’

The question, asked with playful formality, was answered at once.

‘Of course I will, Hugh. Major Tru- fitt asked me two hours ago, and [ said I was engaged; for, of course,’ she ad- ded with that pretty royal way of tak-

ing things for granted that belongs of

right to beauty, ‘I knew yon would want me to go with you.’

That's a good little Pennie. Then] will ‘have the boat ready at ten pre- cisely.’

“¢ Are you going in boats?’ now in-

quired Pennie of Mr. Barton. ‘To be sure. The distance by car-

jage is altogether too great; the boats

will take us there in half the time.’

‘But are you a good oarsman ?!

‘Capital. You shall have an opportu- nity to-morrow gf judging, he answer- ed, gravely.

‘But Hugh— 2A

She hesitated.

‘ Now, then, what is coming ?" laugh- ed he. ‘You look assolemn asa judge.’

‘So will you when you hear that Uncle Percy is going with me.’

‘Going with you?’

‘Yes, some,odious nonsense or other about studying the conchology of the beach, but [ know it’s only to prevent a tete-u-tete between you and me. For you know he’s determined Ishall marry Charlie Allston.’

Mr. Barton bit his lip and contracted his brows.

The prospect of stout Percy in the prow of his little boat, was by no means alluring.

‘Qan’t we give him the slip?’ he said discontentedly.

‘|'m afraid not; he is my legal guar- dian, you know,’ Perfiie answered, soft- ly sighing. :

Hugh Barton whistled under his breath. #

‘Well, my dear friend, what must be, must be. IL would prefer Percy in his armchair at home, or in the dome ot St. Peter’s or anywhere he pleased, so long as it wasn’t with us; butas you say, be has a right tv accompany you, aud we must make the best or it.’

Pennie looked 4p. in astonishment.

Hugh Barton was not in the general habit of submitting so resindedly to the decrees of fate.

She scarcely knew what to make of it. ‘You'll be sure to be ready at ten— uncle and all ?’

‘Yes, we will be ready.’

And Mr. Barton and Miss Wingate strolled along homeward, in the level radiance of sunset, enjoying the frag- rant quiet and silence, broken only by their own voices, until they came in sight of the huge, seaside hotel, where

sople cramped thentselves up in seven- Einibe rooms all day, for the pleasure and privilege of salt-bathing and fashionable society, dmiag the meridian giow of the summer mouths.

Unaele Percy was on the qui vive for them—a stout old gentleman, with a red fice, and shining bald head—and a very ungracious glance he cast on Mr. Burton as that young gentleman bowed

CA PSIC Te

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseascs has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undieputed fact that over half of the entire population of the glove resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN'S Carsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and uire to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and

. it has always been more or Jess used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- ase in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MeLvin’s Carsicum Porous PLasters, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cnre, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the nianufacture ¢f ordin- arv plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr, MELVIN’s CAPst- cum Porous Plaster, and take no other; or, on reeeipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
