NED ALVORD’S TRIAL.

" 2 Transcript.

Concluded.

‘You've kept me watin’ everlast’n’ly,’ he said, with an oath, ‘in this sleepy viliage |’

‘Had to get up an outfit,’ laughed one. ‘ You see we're surveyors, come to stake off a government claim, and we had to learn some of their lingo. What have you got for us? Of course you've been prospecting while you’ve been waiting ??

‘Two or three of the farmers here have got lots of money in their houses, and don’t even lock the doors, I’ve managed to get a plan of some of em and learn where the valuables are kept. Then there’s Erless’ store; but I can get the key of that, and we’ll walk in quietly and help ourselves. You see my brother is clerk there, and keeps the key.’

‘One of us, eh?’ said the man.

‘Not much! A good boy, and I'll have to steal the key. We'd better put off that job for the last, as it’s the easiest.’

After some more conversation the men separated. The two surveyors went quietly to their work the next day. Before the end of the week two of the wealthiest men in the neighbor- hood were robbed of plate, jewelry, and large sums of money.

No suspicion rested on the two quiet men, who seemed to work so steadily, or the bar-room loafer, whose desires were bounded by adrink. Ned, how- ever, watched his brother sharply, for he had now commenced to stay out all night, and when he came in he was not intoxicated.

‘Where is he, if he is not in a bar- room?’ he thought. ‘ He certainly is not there, for when he goes there, he never ¢ames away whoily sober.’

Yet he did not connect Dick with the robberies in the neighborhood.

One evening in closing the back shutters of the store, the bolt was found to be broken. It was to late to have it repaired’, Mr. Erless and Ned fastened the shutter as securely as they could on the inside.

‘Any one from the outside could en- ter by this window,’ said Mr. Erless ; ‘but then, no one knows of the broken bolt anc if the thieves visit me to-night, they’ll probably come to the front win- dow. | think that after to-night, Ned, you must sleep in the store.’

About midnight Ned was awakened by a step on the floor. He sprang up in bed, and listened. He thought he heard the tront door softly opened and closed. With an instinetive movement he put his hand under his pillow, where lie in his anxiety had placed the key of the store. If was gone. His foreboding was realized. |

Mr. Hrless lived at the other end of the town, and he could not reach him to give j:im warning in time. Theseli- possession and coolness of the boy re. turned io him in this extremity, and throwing on bis clothes hastily, he left the house.

On the way to the store lived the porter, a stalwert colored man. He called him up, waited for him to arm himself, and then the two hurried on to the store. He took no arms himself. Was it not his own brother who was the robber ?

In a few minutes they were at the broken window, and had entered the store.

They waited for a quarter of an hour

before the key softly tiirned fii the lock, told that the #obbers ‘ere at hand.

Ned was on one side of the door, and the porter atthe other, and as the first man entered they seized him, but being unprepared for numbers, Ned was struck down by the second robber, and the one they had caught easily escaped.

‘jhe porter shouted loudly for help, and between the surprise and noise, the men ' and fled without any further Several neighbors

‘Are you hurt much, Mr. Ned ?’ ask-| ed the porter.

‘Yes,’ answered Ned, faintiy, ‘my arm’s broken. Somebody please run for Mr. Evless, and tell him I’d like to see | him to-night at my motber’s after he’s seen that all is right here. Will some one please help me home?’

His arm severely fraetured, had been | dressed by the surgeon before Me. Erless! re:iched him.

‘My boy,’ he said, with feeling taking Ned’s hand, ‘ you've saved my property at the risk of your life, and I’m very grateful for it. ‘Tell me the circumstan- ces. Could you recognize the robbers ?’

‘ There’s little to tell,’ said Ned, sadly. ‘T found my key was stolen from under my pillow, and I guessed what would happen. Please ask me bo questions Mr. Erless, if you think I’ve done my duty. I have been very happy with you but. sir, I must give up my place.’

‘You will not Jeave me, my young friend,’ said the merchant, decidedly. ‘The thieves have escaped and no one knows who they are. I shall not take any measures to ascertain ; but whoever they are in no wey affects you to your injury. No, Ned, tested and tried, honesty and truth are stronger than all the evil repute that can ever attach to} those of our own blood. I cannot spure you now.’

CATARBRE.

Constitutional Catarrh © Remedy CURES CATARRH.,

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Rew.edy.

T. J. B. Harprye, Esq., Brockville, Ont, :—

Dear Str—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. I have waited this ‘ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to true.” I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par. ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compe to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle 1 found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles anda third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
