He says he can’t sit ir the chimbly corner sucking his thum’s while other men are taking their chances for the bullets. Oh, I tell you there ain’t no discount on ole man Strong.’’ Strong winced and involuntarily moved farther away from the chimney corper. Presently he broke out passion- ately: “It isa ——shame. The whole thing is an infernal mistake. Making butch- ers out of men who wouldn't harm a hair on a dog’s back if left to their own devices. Now, if the army was made up exclusively of such sneaks as Adrien Strong, the country could survive its loss. *’ ‘* Adrien Strong don’t pass for a sneak in Virginia, where the fightin is hot- test.’’ ‘*Perhaps not.’’ Strong looked so ugly as he snarled out those two words that Seth forbore communicating the laudatory rumors that were afloat in the neighborhood about Adrien Strong. Silence fell between the two men. Seth’s mission had failed. He would wait and take his supper of black coffee | and fried bacon with Strong, climb the cliff and go home. The darkness deepened within and without. Old Viney came into the room with a globeless kerosene lamp in her band, placed it in the middle of the table, flung a pine knot in the fire and hobbled slowly out again. The insistent rain, made invisible by the interior illumination of lamp and firelight, pattered dismally upon the hard beaten surface of the dooryard. The clock on the rough pine shelf over the fireplace gave a premonitory cluck and struck seven. Viney made a second grand entree, laden down with plates and cups and saucers, Which she arranged upon the table with considerable clatter and no taste whatever. She was hobbling slow- ly toward the door once more when something caused her to lift her turban- ed head and to stand still in an alert attitude of surprised attention. ‘‘T yhers w’eels,’’ she said, turning automatically toward the two men on the hearth. ‘“Wheels!’’ They laughed incredulously. No one ever sought Neck or Nothing on wheels under the brightest sunlit skies. Who should be groping thither in this storm drenched darkness? ‘*You kin snicker s’long as vou aint got no manners, but I yhers ’em all de same. Dey done stop.’’ ther She hobbled tothe front door and Sung it open with assertive violence, sending a yellow band of light athwart the wet beaten walk between the cabin and the still. ‘‘She is right. Hail Columbia! Who can it be?’’ said Seth, rising quickly in his astonishment. Strong lifted himself more deliberate- ly. Not even the unprecedented posst- bility of visitors to Neck or Nothing on this inclement evening could stir him beyord the point of looking behind the door for his umbrella and lifting his lantern from the floor with a tentative swing to decide if there was any oil in it. Then he snes and Vv viney in the open dobrway. What thoy saw ‘he a close Rileened. mud bespattered carryall, between the shafts of which stood a steaming, weary beast of burden with dejected, down dropped head and dripping harness. What they heard was the sound of voices parleying behind the wet cur- tains—women’s voices, young voices which stimulated the curiosity of the two men without enlightening them. a suppose we've got to see it through,’’ said Strong, and he plunge@ resolutely out into the rain, closely fol- lowed by Seth. A few strides brought them to the stile, against whose outer steps the carriage was drawn closely for the convenience of the travelers. A child’s fretful protest against bro- ken #’umber, # woman’s querulous re- spon.., a cheerful gurgle of encourage- ment, a lifted curtain and a boundless surprise. ‘*Well!’’ ***Pon honor!’’ ‘*Strong Martin! ‘*Mamie Colyer!’’ Of course the woman was the first to grow coherent. ‘*If it were not so excessively damp on this stile, I should feel impelled to sit right down on this platform until I got the better of my feelings. Annabel, Ann, my dear, where do you suppose we have fetched up finally?’ A white, tired face, pretty but pee- vish, had been thrust from between the parted curtains. To it Miss Colyer had addressed herself. “At Mr. Martin's, haven’t we? You told that awful imbecile to take us to Mr. Martin’s.’’ ‘En I done it.’’ said the ‘‘awfal im- n°? | ' becile’’ in stolid resentment. ‘Them thar is bofe of ’em Misterses Martin ’’ “There is no denying that,’’ said Strong, with such a bright ring to his voice that Seth glanced away from the phenomenon of their lady visitors to stare at Strong in fresh bewilderment. He had yo clew to Strong's one love secret. Mamie avers name and her bold championship of hig cause were to6 sacred for idle i a ger “Ang four mother Will take two Sad ly wrecked women and a famished child in for the night?’ Mamie was demand- ing eagerly, looking down upan them from the stile, with her skirts gathered closely about her trim ankles in prepa- ration for descent. ‘‘My mother lives three miles fram here,’’ said Strong, holding out his hand to assist her. She drew back with a frightened gasp. **Goodness! Anna, do yon hear that?’’ “*T don’t hear anything but this cross, ugly boy crying for something to eat. Adrien, I shall certainly go crazy if you don’t shut up.’ Mamie sprang ground. ‘*Lead the way, Mr. Martin. We can- not spend the night on this stile. er, fetch im Mrs. boxes. ’’ Strong had already tucked her cold little hand in his arm and turned his face toward the Cabin. It was good to have her there. Her sweet, strong face, seen only dimly as yet by the light of his lantern, was unchanged. Her power of lifting the burdens from other shoul- resolutely to the ders was in full force yet. He scarcely gave a thought to the mystery of her companion’s name. ‘**Isn’t this just toofunny?’’ She cud- dled a trifle closer to him. ‘‘Don’t be selfish, you are carrying two-thirds of that umbrella over your own shoulders aud one-third over mine.’’ ‘*Pardon me.”’ He immediately shifted the entire protection to her, by which time they had reached the cabin door, where old Viney stood looking at them in severe surprise.

While There’s Life and Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure There’s Hope. I had suffered so many years from ecatarrh that I don’t know that I will ever get it out of my remembrance. One day, when I took one of the end- lees prescriptions given me by the medicil man to a druggist, I asked him bluntly, ‘“‘ Will this cure me, or will it not ? Or will it be like the rest ?”’ I was nearly desperate, I can tell you. The druggist said :—‘ No, nothing can cure catarrh. I have it myself until I often think of suicide. I take °pium usual@y to sleep it off.’’ I took the prescription away unfilled and went home, thinking of what the drug- gist had said about suicide, and I was utterly disheartened. I have that pre- scription yet. Une day my deliverance came. A lady told me she had suffered just as I had, and was nearly insane, and that a remedy known as Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure had actually cured her. I had read a lot about Dr. Chase’s Catarrh Cure, but I felt to- ward it as I did toward other medi- cines: had no faith. I tried it as a last resort. I used two boxes of Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure, and found it a complete cure. MRS. M. V. ROSE, Holloway, Ont. Price 25 centa, blower included. O LET —The hous? and premises know ine “Old Londo.
