A Story from the English.

—

A jealous mao, Sir Chester Bowden. | oo of

Even when a boy, superficial people said |

he was imp rious because he was a bar | onet at twelve years of age. a

Those who knew better, who had jn- formation concerning the old family of the Bowdens, had no need to be in | tormed that the Bowdens were hard, | proud, imperious and jexlous, though | just, men. ' They never did a wrong, and yet never seemed to be in the right. |

At the inqaest, it was said ola Sir) Chester accidentally shot himself. But | the county families well koew that he | had taken his own life.

Even many of the common people on the estate had little or no doubt upon this point.

? before the | The reason? Three months I Charlottetown, ee a ee

erash his wife had fled from him. He made‘ no effort to seek her out, and it was only his death and its manner which let people into the secret of his love for her.

She had been pitied by her own ser-| vants through her ten years of weer, life.

She was very meek and mild, always, stood up when he entered the room, and | to the end of all she called him Sir Ches- | ter. He always called her Lady Bowden.

' ' '

‘hey never quarreled, and they were als | ~—

ways dull. She never smiled. There | was some talk of her having loved some | young farmer before she married so well. But that was,.doubtless, scandal.

Flowever, she fled; Sir Chester died, shot. three months afterwards, and young Sir Chester was nine years of age.

At Oxford he made but one friend and many enemies. QOxonians hate Oxonians who are not cheery and friendly amongst themselves. :

Boleyn Hever began by pitying Cnes- ter Bowden, and ended by killing him.

But they were never familiar. For instance, Hever always wore a piece of flésh-colored plaster between the first and second joints of the middle finger of the left hand.

Chester never asked the meaning of the patch; and once when, while boating, the plaster was rubbed away, Chester never asked what was the meaning of the seven little tattooed stars he saw where the plaster had been.

The explanation, however, was very simple. A rich old godfather, from whom the poorish Hevers had expectations, and being an old sailor, had elected thus to mark his godson.

Boleyn Hever, being naturally a high class man, entertained a strong disgust for these marks—a disgust which reached morbidity,and he hid them with flesh-color- ed plaster.

* 2 x 2 tt 2

At twenty-three Sir Chester Bowden married one of the most dashing women of her year. He was as jealous as his father, and as proud; therefore he had no fear of Lady Bowden being ungrateful. Bhe was poor.

Boleyn Hever, his neighbor, had not married, and was nursing his estate, which had been left him very much encumber- ed.

At what precise moment Sir Chester became jealous of his one friend he him- self never knew. He was to certain of his own suffering.

Ile hated company, but he was Lound to give fetes, balls, etc.

It was the evening before the first anni- versary of his wedding, upon which oc- easion there was to be a ball.

Sir Chester had noticed his wife anxious all day, and bis demon prompted him ter- ribly. Why was she anxious ?

After dinner she pleaded sickness, and went to her sitting room, into which Sir Chester never intruded.

An hour afterwards he sent a servant to her with some inquiry concerning the ball on the following day |

The servant returned, sayiog that “my lady * was not in her room.

There was murder in heart the next moment. took up a heavy riding-whip.

No—not in her room ! |

The first trace he found ot her was a}

sncil-case, glittering in the moonlight. | ite drew a liue in his mind's eye from the house to it, and thence io the same di-| rection.

“Mo the grape gites,””? he muttere1—- | ‘a straight line to his house.” |

On he went.

Suddenly, being on thetop of a holluck, he saw Boleyn—there could be no ques-| tion about the man—and with him a. wooman hooded.

They were going towards the greatiron | open—work gates, which, from ther pat- tern, were commonly called the grape—_ gates.

He uttered a horrible ery, which evi- dently the couple heard, for they burried to the gates, to which there was vo lodge, | aad one of which wes open.

They must have sven Chester leaping towards them, for they ran.

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 diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an un uted fact that over half of the weireporae on of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoRoUS PLASTERS are acknowled 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 require 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.

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

it has always been more or leas used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and theirsuperiority 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 orliniment. After you have tried other plas- =| ters and liniments, and they have failed, and { you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for { Dr. MELVIN’s CapsicuM POROUS PLASTER. = | You can hardly believe your own convictions of | { t | !

its wonderful effects. Although powerful and = in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin-

ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee

of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds

to your friends.

Ask your druggfst for Dr. Metyry’s CApat- cuUM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, ' on receipt 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.
