But that is not half so peremptory a challenge as the one which disease gives to a careless traveler upon the highway of health. Disease con- fronts a man and says ‘‘ Your atten- tion or your life! Prudence or your life! Common sense or your life!’ When sickness begins to get the best of a man there is no use arguing about it; no mat- ter how insignifi- cant the trouble may appear at the start, unless you exercise prudence and common sense you will surely pay the penalty. If the stomach and liver are out of order that is going to weaken the whole constitu- tion unless the right means are taken to re- store these fundamental organs of the sys- tem to their natural condition. ‘This is ex- actly what is done by Dr, Pierge’s Golden Medical Discovery. Its direct d¢tion upon the liver and digestive organs is the secret of its astonishing curetive effect in all dis- eases of malnutrition. It insures perfect nutrition; it makes the blood pure and sed and full of vitality; it creates heaithy flesh and muscular energy. It is far better than sickening indigestible “‘emulsions’’ or merely stimulating malt ‘‘extracts.’’ Its good effects are lasting. Mrs. Rebecca }. Gardner, of Grafton, York Co.

The old Who would 295 way? man looked with curiosity after. the strange gentleman as he sauntered up the avenue, quite slowly, as it seemed, yet with a step that was far from pur- poseless or listless. “It's 2 queer hour to come and view the place. Mostly people choose broad ht when they come to see the spot whet old Myddelton was murilered.’ ©&> the old men sauttered. while the stranger went slowly on toward the great desolate house, over whose his- tcry a veil of gloom and mystery hung. “ft almost seems,” this visitor whis- pered to himself. as he passed up the silent avenve, “as if the mist of guilt upon the place, and ths heavy lethargy ‘ cintion and disuse, had wrapped thei ves about me, since I passed tes. he horrible paralys.s that J znd motion in this spot. h..s ched me, too; or why do I not ro licw cut this plan,.2.s I have others in my life?

This inexplic- tble feeling ismat any rate unworthy of a theught.” As he argued thus with himself, ut- tering the thought aloud in the evening silence, he raised his hat and for a few minutes carried it in his hand as he walked on up the neglected grass-grown The evening breeze rustled the green branches overhead, and with lazy enjoyment he lifted his face to meet <t. It was 2 dark, grave face, full of deter mined purpose, yet mest striking at that moment with its lock of intense patienc not the spurious patience born of list- lessness or indifference, but a stead?@nst, manly patience, bern it might have been in a great repentance, or it might have been in a great wrong. It was a face which could wear other expressions, far different from—if not warring against-— the quiet, manly power of enduring and forbearing, so plainly written there; but at that moment raised among the dusky shadows, this was its only look. The avenue of Abbotsmoor was nearly two miles in length, for though, as the crow flies, it would have been scarcely a mile from the lodge to the great front entrance, yet the approach was so cury- ed and twisted that it doubled the dis- tance- In old times neighboring squires used to urge on old Mr. Myddelton the advisability of forming a new approach, avenue. straight as an arrow, from the lodge to the house; but their advice was Jaughed at grimly, and the old avenue kept its winding way. So it happened that the visitor was within a hundred yards of the house it- self when he caught his first glimpse of it. He made no stop in his thoughtful, unburried walk; but there grew a look of keen intentness in his eyes. and there started into sudden life a line of deep and harassed thought between his brows. “In spite of the changes,” he said to himself, his full gaze on the house, “| shall remember it all more clearly on this spot.” he scene which lay before him was grand even in its utter desolation, and picturesque even in its heavy, haunted gloom; for om neither the empty build- ing nor the untrodden grass lay any trace of that deed which had made thi: spot a shunned and isolated one. “In the weird light, and at this lonely hour,” the stranger whispered to him- self, “I shall see it just as it should be seen.” There were no steps to mount, no ter- leyaces to tread. The mansion stood low on the wide, level park, but it was mone the less & grand and ap iraposing struc iregular ‘The across avenue. visitor trod, more the lawn, up to dcorway (locked securely against his ex- umining hand), then slowly on past the k ng row of windows belong Dg to ‘he ground floor, the shutters of which were so heavily barred. He counted them as he sauntered past the front of the house siowly pow the wide oak —eight between the door and the cor- mer. Inyoluntarily He stepped back a few paces and counted the eight upon the other side- As he did so a sound, indefinite and hardly audible, reached him from the shrubbery beyond the lawn—a sound so faint that it might well have been laid to imagination only, jut a sound about which the lis- tener, after a minute’s pau no doubt at all. “A cough,” he said, with la “ar cusm, ‘strangled and_ stifled, but a cough unmistakably; that, a man’s cough, that, a cough I’ve heard bef Then he saunter over which he dew, yet often he sti : and, more than and still more lon.
