You are a remarkable wo- man. A tower of strength to every one of us, from Mrs. Strong down to Dren.”’ And the ceremony of osculation was audibly performed. ‘*But, Mamie,’’ Liza drew back to ask impatiently, ‘‘why on earth didn’t you try to find out who the hand be- longed to?’’ *‘Couldn't. When a woman is ina state of collapse from terror, she doesn't go into particulars.”’ At which they both laughed a trifle hysterically. CHAPTER XVII. Trudging resolutely in Liza’s wake over the uneven cotton furrows along the weed walled crossroads, with the gray twilight rapidly effacing the fa- miliar landscape, the professor’s daugh- ter, conscicusly aiming to keep up her courage, took refuge in levity. **Don’t you think it would have been the part of prudence brother where to lock for our bodies, Liza, if we are not back by 8 o'clock? But I forget. ‘We are presumed to be virtuously reading French together in the privacy of our own room at this per- ilous moment.’’ **The peril is altogether in your imag- ination, Mamie. We had to tell them something to get away from them. Thou foolish virgin, thou puttest no oil in thy lamp, and—see’’— She swung the lantern in her right hand at arm’s length. It flared, flicker- ed and expired just as they were enter- ing asmall grove of thorns where the slaves’ burying ground was located. They were left in total darkness. *“*Mercy!’’ Mamie gave a smothered scream and violently embraced her in- trepid leader. ‘‘Let’s go back, Liza. turn back.’’ *‘No, Iam going forward. You may go back if you choose.’’ ‘*Choose? I- never expect to choose Please let’s MANY OF THEM AR CATARRBAL DISEASES. Dr. A. W.CHASE COMES TO THEIR AID. Suecess in life is almost impossible for a ‘man with bad breath. Nobody wants to do »usiness with him. No- kody wants to associate with him. He is handicapped everywhere. Offen- sive breath comes from catarrh; some- times from caterrh of the stomach, sometimes of the lungs, sometimes of the head, nose, and throat. It is from catarrh somewhere, and catarrh is aa- | other name for uncleanness. Many men understand this, and ‘make every effort to cure it, but it is be- yond the reach of ordinary practice. No self-respecting man can ignore catarrh. If he has it in any form he makes constant effort to be’rid of it. There is something about the man- ner of life and the climate of Canada that seems to breed diseases of the mucous membrane. Medical science ordinarily doesn’t try to cure catarrh; it “relieves’’ it; but Dr. Chase has been curing catarrh for ‘ower thirty years, and his name is blessed by thousands who have ‘shaken off the gcrusp of this insidious disease.

But indeed we are in no more danger just because our lantern went out.’’ **Perhaps not, but I should like to cet one glimpse of the man who is going to murder us—just one. I might be called on to identify him in the next world, you know.”’ ‘Listen. I hear voices now. We are almost there. ’’ They stood still, quite close together, Mamie still maintaining her held vig- orously upon the skirt of Liza’s basque. **Singing.’’ “Yes, singing. That is encouraging. Do you suppose men can sing when they are meditating murder?’’ ‘Do be serious, Mamie. Here, give me your hand. Now, step up—one, two, three. The weeds have about tak- en these steps. Now then—wait. We have a right to eavesdrop.” ‘Call it reconnoiter. These are war imes. They’ve pitched their camp right by Gabriella’s tomb. I see the fire, not much of one. They’re just building it.’’ Liza shifted her own position with noiseless restlessness. ‘“‘That big tree trunk is between ine and everything.’’ The song that had floated to them across the wasting fields of cotton had ceased abruptly, only audible sounds within the shrub choked inclosure was the snapping of dried sticks broken by an wnseen hand to feed the new made fire. and the istence, giving the entire scene to the two pair of eager eyes peering over the rusty spikes of the iron graverard cate. With their lips close to each other’s eass they exchanged items of excited comment. ‘‘There are two cf them.”’ ‘*A black man and a white one.’’ ‘“‘The white one certainly looks as if he beienged to a graveyard. What dreaCully hollow cheeks! And, ob, Li- zi, look! His poor knees. He is hug- ging them so close they are actually showing through his trousers.’’ **T wish he would push his hat back. If I could see his whole face, I might make out who he is. It can’t be Adricn Strong.’’ ‘*Adrien Strong! Heavens, en Strong is a dandy. Oh, just too heart breaking?’ Without the movement of a muscle, with his head still drooping forward so that nothing was visible but the thin, hollow cheeks and the long uncared for beard that almost touched the frayed knees of his ragged, gray trousers, the man had begun a new song. A plaintive, simple ballad, already grown hackneyed about the campfires where countless war weary heroes, "reste ing beneath the seytinel stars, with no shelter other than the dark blue canopy of the midnight skies, let their home- sick a wander back to the dear ones left behing yith an exjuisite an- guish of longing that found utteranc rg) in song. But to those two listening, watching girls it was all new and fresh and thrilling, @_ “ys” “Who will care for mother now? tang the wan faced wayferer, resting there benvath the laurel tree that shed its blossoms over tho silent sleepers in the little graveyard—sang it in the per- functory fashion of one who perfor‘is a deed more from force of habit than fromm any conscious effort. but his voice was clear and sweet, and no false note jar- red upon the music loving ears of his auditors, Mamie, silently weeping, softly sub- sided among the weeds on the cemetery steps and buried her head in her lap. It was torture, but she would not lose one note of that sweet, weird melody for worlds. Liza, bent upon identification, main- tained her stand at the gate. When the song was ended, she would go in boldly and question that forlorn trespasser touching Adrien Strong, who was to come home in state some day, panoplied in his battle worn laurels, brighter and fresher laurels than those whose glossy leaves, stirred by the night wind, now waved their dar’: bamnerets over that wandering minstrel in tatters. There was a movement on the other side cf the large beech tree that hida section of the little camp from her. A third party had been introduced inte the mystery, and the singer was inter- rupted by a slow, deep voiced protest. ‘*‘Come, old chap, that ditty is dole- ful enough when sung by a dozen fel- lows around a roaring campfire, bunt no!

The singer glanced up at the speaker with knitted brows, as if strenuously endeavoring to link words and meaning together, gave up the effort with a pa- thetic smile and resumed his crooning with renewed energy. ‘* Adrien! soon be where sour mother can care for Stop that, old man, you'll , ———- MACK AY 9 Mid Summer Sale.
