In a word, it was hopeless to attempt to conjecture what the meaning of my mother’s message could be. Such at- tempts only led to a feeling of helpless despair, and I tried to postpone all con- sideration of the matter.

I went for a walk in Kensington gar- dens to pass away the time, and it was while standing gloomily on the shores of the Round pond, watching the sail- ing of some tiny yachts, that some one touched me on the shoulder. I turned and saw Percy Morris, the most unex- pected and yet perhaps the most entire- ly welcome person I could possibly have seen at the moment, for Percy was— had been—my greatest friend at Tod- dlestone. He had left last term on ac- count of his father’s death and his mother’s unexpected poverty, and I had missed him badly. He had been to Russia with me more than once during the summer vacation, and I felt that an outpouring of my story into hissym- pathetic ears—for he knew my people —would do me a heap of good. I show- ed him my telegram. He started.

‘“Why, man alive,’’ he said, “‘I saw your father this very afternoon. I thought you must be staying up here with him and was just going to ask you about it.’’

CHAPTER IL THE COUNT’S DOUBLE.

When Percy made this astonishing announcement, I subsided into one of the seats that surround the pond. It was too bewilderingly unexpected. I felt for a moment so utterly, helplessly amazed that I must either laugh or cry.

‘‘Impossible!’’ I gasped. ‘‘Yon conld not have, old man. Why, how could the dear old governor—no; it’s impossi- ble! You didn’t speak to him?’

‘*Yes, I did. I met him in Oxford street and capped him and said, ‘Zdrav- stvui, graf’’ (Gcod morning, count), ‘‘and—well, he seemed a bit surprised and looked me over as though he didn’ recognize me, but he returned my saiu- I said, ‘‘in heaven’s name! did he say then—where did he

*That’s the funny part of it,” said Percy. ‘‘He didn’t stop to talk, and vour pater is generally so kind and nice tome. Instead of taking my arm and having achat and probably standing sentiv a rare Innch. he nodded

in the jaws of a fero-

\ cious tiger. In | every walk of

life, from that of the laborer to

that of the pro- fessional man, there are thou- sands at the mercy of a tiger more relentless than any found in all India. That tiger is the dread disease known as consumption. It slays more men and wo- men yearly than there are rain drops in a summer shower. It steals upon its victim with noiseless tread.

There is a sure and certain protection against this deadly disease, and a sure and speedy cure for it, if it is resorted to in

me. It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This wonderful medicine acts directly on the lungs through the blood, tearing down old, half-dead tissues, build- ing up new and healthy ones, driving out all impurities and disease germs and ex-

panding the lungs and introducing life-giv- ing oxygen into the circulation. It has wonderful curative powers and allays all inflammation of the mucous membranes of the lungs and bronchial tubes. It makes the appetite keen and hearty, the digestion and assimilation perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich with the life-giving elements of the food, and the nerves strong and steady. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It has the most marvel- ous sustaining oo of any known med- icine. Thousands who were upon the verge of a premature grave have testified to their recovety through its wonderful virtues. Medicines dealers sell it, and have nothing else “just as good.”

When a dealer urges some substitute he’s thinking of the larger profit he’ll make— not of your welfare.

Dr. Pierce’s book, ‘‘ The Common Sense Medical Adviser,”’ is a treasure in any fam- ily. It contains 1008 pages and 300 illustra- tions. A copy FREE to every person who

‘*His double, then, and another Rus- for he answered in Russian, ‘Zdravstvui;’ but of course that might incidence, if it were not that {am ready to swear to it that he was your father and no other, or almost ready, perhaps I ought to say

I jumped at the little point of implied uncertainty.

‘*Ah—almost! You are not absolutely certain, then?’

‘*Well, to be entirely straight’’—Per- cy hesitated—‘‘I remember now notic- ing—well, you know how very particn- lar your father is about dress, and so on. Today he did look different in that respect. He wore a Tyrolese hat and a seedyish coat; he didn’t look — you know—quite so distinguished as usual —that’s all—and he hadn’t shaved.”’

“Then I’d swear it wasn’t dad, ‘1 cried, ‘‘for the dear old man would soon- er perish than walk up Piccadilly look- ing like the bounder you describe!”’

‘‘Oxford street,’’ Percy corrected.

“Or even Oxford street,’’ said L

“But stop, old chap! You seem to be anxious it shouldn’t be your father,” said Percy, puzzled by my ~attitude. *‘Wouldn’t you rather know he was over here, safe and all well, than—well —heaven knows where?”’

‘“‘The thing is,’’ I tried to explain. **T shoaldn’t like to think he was here, free on his own hook, as it were, be- cause then, why shouldn’t mother know about it, and I and all the world for the matter of that? It would mean that the dear old man had gone dotty, you know, and I’d almost rather anything had happened than tiat.”’

‘‘T see,’’ said Percy, and we walked on awhile in silence, taking the nearest route to my hotel. I told my friend my intention of starting tonight, and he promised to dine early with me and see me off at 8:30.

‘‘Hang it!’’ he said presently. ‘I wish I was going with you. D’you know this is the most hopeless place in the world to find anything to do in.”’

‘‘There are nearly always matches at Lord’s or the Oval,’’ I said, ‘‘and there are the theaters!’’

‘“‘I_ mean work,” he explained—‘‘a living. Ican get £1 a week asa clerk in the city and that’s the best offer I’ve had as yet. Jolly prospect, isn’t it?’’

What a selfish brute I was, for the last hour I had talked hard about my own affairs and had never even thought of asking after his. Yet he was very badly off, indeed, I had heard, and, as his words showed, he was without im- mediate prospect of employment.

‘‘T most heartily wish you were com- ing over with me,’ I said. ‘‘Look here,’’ I added. ‘‘Why not come?’

‘“‘Oh, I couldn’t!’’ he laughed. ‘‘Mat- ters—my affairs are too important for that, or rather my want of affairs!’

‘‘Well, but’’— I said, struck with a sudden idea. ‘‘We shall require a stew- ard badly until the old dad turns up again to look after things. Why not come and help us? I promise you a fair reward if my dear old mother has any- thing to do with it, which she certain- ly will.”’

‘‘Don’t tempt me too sore, or I shall fall!’’ he laughed.

Then I went at him tooth and nail and almost compelled him to accept the suggestion, and presently he did con- sent. He could not be ready, he said, in time to start with me tonight, but he would come tomorrow or next day. By that time he would get his passport and luggage together. It was rather short notice and might be a bit of a shock to his mother, but she would quite under- stand. ‘‘Yes, old man,’’ he ended, ‘‘I’m on for it.”’

This decision of Percy’s comforted me greatly, for I was very fond indeed of my friend. At Toddlestone he and I had been known as Fidus and Achates. He would come as a guest at present. If afterward it should turn out that mother required some one as agent or clerk or whatever you like to call it, then Percy would step forward and say, “Will I do?’

So we dined and drove to Victoria, and Percy saw me off, promising to follow by the same train tomorrow or next day.

Ihad plenty to think about during the journey as the train flew through Holland and Germany and presently through my own poor, barren looking native country—the mystery of my fa- ther’s disappearance and the thousand and one conjectures that grew out of it; the dead days of dear Toddlestone; Ox- ford and its untried delights, long looked forward to, now suddenly nip- ped in the bud; the match and my sud- den revelation of talent; sweet visions of varsity matches saved by me for Ox-

| ford, foolish dreams, but consoling

things that helped me to pass through

that trying time of suspense and uncer- fainty! f£ arrived at St. Petersburg at iuSt One of onr men was at the station to meet me and a carriage waited outside ] asked after mv mother. ‘The countess is well,” said the man, ‘‘but’’— he hesitated. “Well, but what—speak!” I said. “Is my father well also?’’ I said this n purpose to watch the fellow’s face

in order to observe whether fat her’s mysterious absence was a matter of eral knowledge in the establishment at least

“The count is still absent,”’ said the man, ‘‘and thong h well

it is said—in health, , 1 believe. be very o]

countess, wil

, tne

lad to see her son!”’

This was oracular quite and revealed just about as much as the old Grecian oracles were wont to predict, which was just nothing. I could not gather from the fellow’s face whether he knew of our trouble or only guessed it.

CHAPTER IIL

THEORIES OF THE DISAPPEARANCE.

I found my poor mother ina sad con- dition indeed. The shock of father’s disappearance and the uncertainty and helpless misery of the whole wretched affair had quite upset her, and for the time being at least she was practically in a state of callanse.

MOOD HEALTH FOR WOMEN |

Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food Re stores Weak, Sickiy Women to Robust Health.

Any irregularities in the monthly uterine action is sufficient cause for women to be alarmed about their health, Whether painful, suppressed or profuse menstruation, the cause can be traced to some derangement of the nerves.

A few boxes of Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food will completely build up the exhausted nerves and restore the regular monthly action which removes from the body the clogged mat- ter that would otherwise cause pain and serious disease.

It is as @ restorative for pale, weak womens that Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food has been singularly successful. It counteracts the debi- litating diseases peculiar to women by feeding the nerves and creating new nerve fluid, the vital force of the human body.

Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food has restored scores of hundreds of weak, sickly women to robust health. soc. a box at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto.
