FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Ting a-ling, ling, ling-! As the sharp tinkle of the door-bell reverbrated through thehouse, Miss Priscilla Dreeme sprang up from the corner of the sola, whero she sat dozing the evening hours away, wide-awake in an instant. — She was a tall, stately woman of sixty, with snow-white hair and a resolute, though not unpleasant lace. ‘Bless me!’ she exclaimed. can be comiag at this late hour r ‘It may be the postman with a letter.’ The speaker was Reginald Brent, a forty«fifth cousin of Priscilla’s, who was fond of dropping ia of an evening to bask in the warmth of the glowing fre. or sip the rare old wines that al- wavs filled the sideboard. Though fever a very weleome visitor —- the grand old lady secretely distrusted him ——he tool no offence at the ice ot re- serve with which he was invariably re- evired, and only came the more fre- quently for it—perhaps with the ex- pectation of melting it away. wee ‘Nonsense!’ Miss Priscilla said, in response to his suggestion. ‘It is no time for the postman to be making his You know that as well as I

‘Who

rounds. do,

‘Shall [ answer the bell?’

‘No. Remain where youare. I'll go myself. Of course] am the one thet’s wanted.’

She walked haughtily past, and the next instant had flung wide the street door. A demure little figure, clad all in Quaker gray, fairly tumbled into her open arms.

‘Dear me!’ ejaculated the startled lady, falling back against the wall. ‘What—what’s this ?’

The intruder flung back her hood, revealinw a pretty, eager face.

‘Aunt Priscilla, do you not know me?’ she inquired,

‘Know you? How should | ?’ cried the woman, theugh her heart’ gave a sudden bound. ‘In mercy’s name who are you ?’

‘Doris Dreme.’

‘Brother Will's daughter ?’

‘Yes, Aunt,’

‘ Miss Prisciila gave a faint cry, and drew the gir! toward the blazing gas- jet.

‘Let me see yeur face. Good Lord | It is impossible to mistake those fea- tures. You have told the truth child; no one but a Dreeme ever had such eyes ani hair. Where have you kept yourself all those years ?’

Doris attempted to reply but could not utter aword, Stretching out her hands with au appealing leok she fell insensille.

Miss Priscilla‘was down on the floor beside her instantly, and had pillowed the fair head oa her bossem.

‘Poor thing! How pale she1s! She has tasted suffering of some sort. To think that Will’s child should ceme to me like this! I never expected it.’

And though the good lady had not wept fer years, two or three big drops actually fell dowa her face. She had loved her brother dearly, and theugh circumstances had parted and estranged them long before, a dreamy void was left in her heart that nothing had been able to fill.

Meanwhile, Reginald Brent had em- erged from the drawing-room, and was looking at the tableau the two women presented—-the one was wrinkled and gray, and the other so fresh, pretty and sweet--a somewhat cynical smile part. ing his lips.

‘Itis very odd what has brought tke child here so unexpectedly,’ he said. ‘What will you do with her ?’

‘Keep her—as long as I ean,’ the old woman answered, loeking at him steadily.

‘Humpt! It would be just as well to learn somethiog of her past before making up your mind.’

‘What do you fear?’

‘Her life may have been anything but a reputable one.’

‘Step! cried Miss Priscilla, with flashing eyes. ‘How dare you? She is a Dreeme. That is enough.’

When at length Doris opened her great sad eyes,she was still lying im the elasp of those tender arms. A glow of pleasure suffused her faee.

‘I felt sure of a welcome, and a place in your heart,for my deadfather’s sake, she murmured. ‘.l have eceme to live with yon, aunt Priscilla, if yau will take me ip.’

‘Tell me your history, dear,’ said the old woman in response.

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

Dear Str—It is now two years since youz ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong te see if the cure would remain permanent before do. ing this. my duty, te you, as at first the me effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to be: true.”

1 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 compelled. to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits: were seriously affected. When your agent: came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I three bottles. Before I hud used a quarter of” the contents of one bottle 1 found decided re lief, and when I had used two bottles and #® third, I quit taking it; feeling quite clear af that ailment, and have not used any since un® of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrb, prompts me to send! you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to’ make what use of it von may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
