Poor little creature that he was, Victim of a very cruel destiny, he had had a hard life of it from start to finish. It was to be hoped such as he would be mercifuliy judged, for indeed he had never a chance! Who could lame him’? Not I for one. On the con- trary, I felt grateful enongh toward him, for how in the world should we ever have attained the end, which now loomed well in view, but for his good offices? He had been very aggravating in the manner of giving his informa- tion, he had been foxy and avaricious, n weichre. ree ‘ reatremedial - Mrs. Housewife | J3ed to Work Because the groc2ry moa . , 1 ey dil no ¢> far enouga on Daiurdas night NOW SHE gec. and $1.00, a! druggists, SscoTT & BOWNE, Cc) emists, Toronta, F and, of course, from the point of view | of gocd or bad faith t is fri IRE NSURANCE C0, a oward his friends, — 'atrocious.

It is al- ways easier and better to avoid , it than to fight it. It comes in various guises. ZAje At first it is ete usually as a tri- “=, fling indiges- tion or a slight attack of bii- iousness. Then follow loss of appetite, or headache, or nerv. ousness and sleeplessness, or stupor. These are the advance heralds of consumption, malaria, nervous exhaustion and prostra- tion, and a multitude of other ills. There is an easy way to avoid, and a sure way to escape from, ill-health. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery gives edge to tke appetite, invigorates the liver, makes the digestion perfect and the blood pure. It is the great appetite-sharpener, blood-maker, fiesh-builder and nerve-tonic. It cures 33 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It does not make flabby flesh like cod - liver oil. but firm, healthy tissue, without corpi- jency.

What, grudge your own uncle a thou- sand or two from your affilnence? Be- ware, undutiful nephew, lest I take an uncle’s privilege and chastise you!”’ ‘*You dare not shoot that thing off!’ I said. ‘‘The noise would alarm the household, and you would be caught at once. ”’ ‘Pooh, there are other ‘ways less noisy, if need be; moreover, there are also other checkbooks in the house. There is the dear countess’, your moth- er’s.”’ **You shall not go near my mother,” I said, ‘‘even though you stabbed me as you stabbed the student.’”’ ‘*You fool!l’’ he said. ‘‘Come; write me the check and let me go. I havea journey to make tonight, and I will not be delayed. Do not make me desperate. I would as soon kill you as not, you hellhonnd! It was you that caught the student and wormed my secrets out of him. You would have been a dead man by this but that I must have the mon- ey. I was an inferna! fool not to stick a knife into you as you sat dozing in that armchair. Your mother can pay the money as easily as you. Come, now, shall she pay it or you? I will have the cash, mind you!”’ My mind was working quickly and well now. ‘Stop!’ Ieaid. ‘*You have the whip hana of me, for I am unarmed. We will make a bargain of it. You shall write me a declaration that you are Andre Lantrinof or Kornilof or any one yon rilease, and that my father, Count Vladimir. was arrested in your place. You shall give me such a docn- ment, and I will sign a check for— what, 1,000 rubles?’’ I never really intended to bargain with this infernal assassin. My inten- tion was to spring upon him as he wrote. “Twenty thousand is the sum,’’ said he, ‘‘and there is no bargain. I sign nothing. I will have the money without conditions cf any kind. Come; time passes. Do not make me desperate. I can force the countess to pay me; re- member that.”’ **‘Not while I live,” I said. ‘**You shall not leave this room, though you may carry an arsenal of arms.”’ ‘“‘Pooh!”’ he said. ‘‘You defy me? You are one that talks much, I take it, and acts little. I say 1 shall go from this rocm to the apartment of the countess. Sit where you are or ycu are a dead man. I mean what I say. This is not a dummy revolver. All the cham- bers are charged. I will shoot the whole infernal household and escape, curse you! Sit still now!’’ He edged toward the door.

How they came there I cculd not and did not at- tempt toimagine. Andre flashed his pistol at them and again and a third time. Then there was a rough and tumble on tke floor, and many flowers of speech, both from Andre and the others. CHAPTER XXXIV. SEARCHING FOR THE COUNT. It was a simple enough matter in reality. These good fellows had tracked Andre back to our house. He had en- tered by my bedroom window from the yard, using a ladder, under cover of the darkness. They had done the same, climbing in noiselessly in the nick of time. One of them was wounded in the arm, the only successful shot of the four. j As for Andre, he raved and blae tna o~ neeanmaenneneenne ene meets phemed, struggling like a maniac. 1 was obliged to assist the police in secur ing him, andin the scuffle he aimed several vicious kicks and blows at me, together with much vile language. | carry the marks of one of his ‘‘hacks”’ to this day. However, he was caught, and I may say in this place, for we _have now finished, personally, with the consummate scoundrel, that this time the police did not blunder, but seni him away to places from which there is no return. I believe he is now at Sakhalin or thereabout. Early the following morning I re- ceived a message from the chancellcry of the gradonachalnik, which is official title of the chief of police. The messenger requested that I would con- vey myself as quickly as possible to tie head office. I went, this time without much anxiety of heart, for I knew we!l enough that even without the fulfill- ment of his farcical condition of identi- fication by scar, the chief would now no longer withhold his consent to fa- ther’s release, for, Andre canght and the student’s tale verified, no sane man, gradonachalnik or commoner, could any longer pretend to disbelieve in the blunder which had been committed. I was not therefore prepared for an- other check; yet, so closely had fate woven the net around my poor father’s liberty, I was destined to experience a new disappointment. The chief received me very civilly and began by congratulating me upon Andre’s capture and thanking me for my share in effecting it. I! had hada narrow escape, he said; the delinquent had fired point blank at me—was ii not so? ‘‘Certainly, excellence,’’ I said, ‘‘and kicked me very violently on the shins besides. Not quite the line of conduct one would expect a father to pursue to- ward an obedient and dutiful son.”’ The chief grinned slightly. “I concede the point,’’ he said. ‘There has been a mistake, though, owing to the circumstances, a pardon- able one. You shall have your father back, unless destiny shonld have been too strong for us—an event! shonld deeply deplore. ’’ ~ ‘‘What do you mean, excellence?” I! said, my heart sinking to my boots, ! ‘*have you news—bad news?”’ ‘Read this,’’ said the chief, handing me a telegram from I forget what re- | mote place in* Siberia. ‘‘All may be ' well with him, but there is some doubt, ! as you will see.”’ I snatched the telegram and read theese words: ‘Convict Kornilof never reached here; reported detained Spask; severe illness; probably died since; no later advice received.”’ (To be Continued ) quik GIRLS. ce PLUMP while using Dr. A.
