A minister was hastily summoned, and m the hour of midnight, while the wild wind moaned and sobbed outside, and the whining snowflakes without wrapped the earth in a cold, white, frozen shrond. the fatal marriage—that man _ could never break, and Heaven would not an- nul—was solemnized.

CHAPTER NIL
“Y WOULD RATHER SEE YOU DEAD THAN HIS BRIDE.
We must now return to the thrill’ng scene transpiring in the underground apartment in which beautiful V rlie Sef- ton found herself, by the force of strange circumstances, an unwilling prisoner.

Weak and Run Down, With Heart and Kidneys In Bad Condition — Restored by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“J was very much run down, having been sick for several months. I had been trying different remedies which did me no good. I would have severe spells of coughing that would leave me prostrate. I was told that my lungs were affected, and my heart and kidneys were in a bad condition. In fact, it seemed as though every organ was out of order. I felt that something must be done and my brother advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparills. I procured a bottle and began taking. it. Before it was half gone I felt that it was helping me. I continued its use and it bas made me a new woman. I cannot praise it too highly.” Mrs. SUMMER- VILL®, 217 Ossington Avenue, Toronto, Ontario. Get only Hood’s, because

it was well for her that there was not. As she lay there thinking over some plan by which she might make
her escape, the sound of cautious foot
' steps fell upon her ear; they diew near-
| er
and nearer, and the blood froze in Verlie’s veins, as they halted outside the door.
She gave a supprersed cry.
“Hush!” whispered a voce which she instantly recognized the capt:i’s. *As you value your safety—hush! I ain here on an errand which concerns you vitally. You must listen to what I have to say. Send Hagar to unbar the door; every moment is precious.”
“I will not unbar the door,” cried Ver- a oe thankful that those bolts form, even a slight protection in keep ing you out.”
“You must listen to what I have to say to you,” repeated the young captain, sternly; “it is a matter of life and death, l assure you upon my honor.”
“A life, or a death, for that matter, weighs little with you,” retorted the girl bravely; “and as for honor—a mai who wilfully abducts a young girl, and keeps her a captive, because she has by chanee stumbled upon the nefarious call- ing of himself and his wicked associates. is dead to the word, honor. I would not trust you.”
“IT know full well that I have forfeited your respect by what you have seen and heard,” he said, in an agitated whisp, “but there is this much honor about me —I must warn you of the fatal con- sequences your discovery, and your pei- sistent assertions that you would bring the officers of the law upon us the first moment we set you free, has brought upon you.
“The men’s solemn conference has ended. They intend to show you no mercy. The sentence they have passed upon you is imprisonment for life with'n these walls, and that would be worse than death for you. Aye, death would be a thousand times more merciful than life among these lawless men. Even if you did consent to an oath of silence now, it would be too late.”
Verlie did not faint; she did not cry out, or utter any moan; the horror of his words held her spell-bound. She wes roung and brave—life seemed sweet to her. She realized that what he said was perfectly true. These outlaws, who could thus defy the laws of men, wou'd bave no scruple in defying the law of tiod; even if they mace away wth be, she world werd be none the wiser.
“There is but you.” whisper d her capior, “and that to necome my bride. T am a reckless, de- fant man, Miss Sefton: but your be:u y my heart at first .sicht. The ab-

“Stop!” cried Verlie; “I will listen.”
“I beg you will take time to cons de,” ne said, earnestly.
“IT need no time to consider,” replied Verlie, with ringing scorn. “Do you hink that freedom or life itself is worth purchasing at the cost be- ‘coming your wife?” cried the girl, with sassionate vehemence. “Do you think I ‘ould clasp the hand at the altar that was stained with blood?”
The man upon the other side of the
not of
eavern door winced under the scathing words. A strange gleam shot into his eyes; a fearful panorama passed in- stantaneously before his mental vision. He could imagine a lost soul gaz.ng from the deep abyss of Hades into the fe.icity and joy of Heaven, fully realizing that all hope for him was lost forever.
He began to realize that a dark chasm yawned between himself and this fair girl; a fatal line streaked his hand, which would forever shadow the grasp of a purer one.
It is a mistake to suppose that crime- steeped hands cannot love. The basest criminal, strange as it may seem, can love as intensely, though not as purely or unselfishly, as the noblest hero.
From the moment his eyes had rested upon the beautiful girl, who had dared defy him so bravely and audaciously, the wish came to this bad man that he had lived a different life that he might bave wooed and, in time, won her. A mo ment he hesitated.
“Do you love any one else? Will you answer me that, Miss Sefton?’

The man started back as though an arrow had suddenly pierced his heart.

Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
' shows itself in the rosy cheeks and clear, bright eyes of those who use them. These pills are not a purgative; they give strength instead of taking it away. They act directly on the blood and nerves ; invigorate the body ; regulate the functions, and restore health and strength to the exhausted woman when every effort of the physician proves unavailing. Mothers anx- ious for the healthy development of their growing girls should insist upon their taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
Mrs. W. Goodwin, Argyle Sound, N.S., says:—‘‘ After the birth of my first child I was in poor health and unable to recover my strength. I had a severe pain in my left side and lung, which almost ; I had a bad cough day and night, and was troubled with night sweats, and on awakening found myself very weak. My complexion was sallow, and my appetite entirely gone. All my friends believed me in a decline. Our family physician attended me for a long time but I got no better. Then a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Acting on this advice I bought a supply, and continued their use for a couple of months, when my health was fully restored. I'am sincere in saying that I believe Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilis saved my life.”
