Mrs. ris Was very tond ot had--no children of her own, and, had

my father consented, she and Mr. Hall

would have taken me to live with them en'‘ireély.

It was a lovely day in June when I arfived at my vodmother’s and she was delighted to see me. The house was bewutijuily situated on high ground, gurronn led by grand old trees, and on one side was a flower garden.

One morning godmother says to me:

«Cjme upstairs with me, Lillan, and,

I will show you some Indian jewels that my uncle left me lately.” She opened the drawers of an inlaid sandal- wood cabinet and took out a small case, in which were a pair of earrings, a brooch and necklace of most beautiful

day.’

Oh. said he, ‘why should you feel so anxious about her to-day ? I saw her last Tuesday ; and if she were ill Mary would be sure to let us know, Itis ynly one of your * fancies’ little wife.’

Still [did not feel easy, for more than once before my so-called ‘fancy’ had proved to. be a ‘reality’; so | deter- mined that ina few days I would go and see Mrs. Benson. All that evening { could not get her oat of my thoughts, and it was a longtime before ] went to sleep. 1 think. it was about three

a state of terror. [Thad dreamed that I saw Mrs. Benson standing in. the win- low of her bed-room beckoning me to

diamonds. i thought | had never seen anything so beautiful before. “ My dear Lilian,” said she, “I intend to give you these on your sixteen birth- div. IL see, however, there Is a stone joose in one of the earrings, so I will take it into town to-day and have it ropaired.’ She folded it up carefully suirel prt it in her purse; the case with the other diamonds she put in ‘one of the drawers of her dressing-glass.

Aiter lunch Mr. and Mrs. Hall took me with them tothe town, whieh was about four miles distant. The earring wae left at the jewelers, and as we were to spend the day at a friend's bouse we'arranged to call for it on our way back. But, you will say, what has all this to do with your dream? Wellowait a little atid you will see.

We spent a pleasant day, called for the earring on our way, and arrived home about half-past nine o'clock. As I was taking off my bonnet, godmother cama inte the room. “ Lilian,” said she,“ I cannot find the case of dia- monds anywhere. Did [ not leave them in the drawer in the dressing- glass, before I went out? I went to pul in the other earring now and it was not there. Who can have taken it?”

You certainly left it in the dressing- glass drawer,” [ said. “ Could any of the servants have taken it, do you think ?”

“Yam sure they would not,” sho an- awered. for years, and never missed anything before.”

%Aré there any strangers about that could have come in through the win- day ?”’

No, Lilian; there are no strangors about the place exeept the gardener and he scems & most respectable man. I got a very high character of him from his last-place; in fact, we were told he wk 4 most trustworthy person.”

Néxt day there was a wonderful commotion about the missing jewel- ease. The police were sent for; and eveyy place was searched over and over again; but te no purpose. One thing, however, puzzled us; on the window- sill was a foot-mark, and near the dressing-table a little bit of earth, as if off 2 shoe oF boot, which Jed us to think that the thief must come in through the window. But how did he get ap tot’? “dt was a good height from the ground, and the erceping-plants were notein’the least broken, as would have been the case had any one climbed up by, them. A ladder must have been employed, and it was little to the credit ofthe police that this fact had not been properly cons:dered. As tbe matter

“

stood ii, was @ mystery, and seemed |

likely to remain so, and only one ear- ring was leit of the valuable set.

La a few days I left for school, were | I iemained for four years. | spent] every vacation between my bome and my godmothe.’s. We often spoke of tie stolen diamonds, bat nothing had | ever “been heard of them, though ~ a| reward of £50 had been offered by Mr. | Hall for any information that would | ladd to the detection of the thief. On) my sixteenth birthday my godmother | gate, me a beautiful watch and chain | a tthe diamond earring, which sho had g arranged asa necklace, |

€T am sosorry, Lilian,’ said sae, ‘ that I have not the rest of those diamonds to) giveyou; butifever they are found they | suddteye yours. my dear.’ |

Pmist now pass over six years, which |

‘

“| have had them with me,

come to her, and pointing to a female ficure that was +t-aling alone unde: the shade of the trees in the avenue, for the moon Was shining brightly.

T started up, thinking I heard her calling me. And here is the most extra ardinary part of it all—though I was now quite awake, I heard, as I thought, a voice saying to me: ‘Go tell Mrs Benson Martha is deeciving her; tell her to send her away at once.’

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

There never has heen a time when the beal- {ng of so many different diseases has been eaused by ontward application as the present. It is an undisputed faet that over. balf of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous 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 serviée 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 withthese it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in allages have thoronghlytested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and — it has always been more or less 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, cenvinéed of the wonderfal eures effected by DR. MrLvin’s CAPSICUM 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 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 ean hardly believe yourown 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 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 druggist for Dr. MELVrn’s Capst- cUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, tiey will bo mailed, post paid,to ~ aby address in tine United States or Canadas.
