There were lines of care or hard living, or what not. The temples looked balder than father’s and the stubby beard he wore appeared strangely vulgar after father’s carefully shaven chin. I said guardedly that this was so. ‘‘But,’’ added, ‘‘in spite of all that, mother, darling, Ithink it must be fa- ther. Who else can it be? It is not as though he hada twin brother, or any brother, so like as to be mistaken for him.” To my horror mother’s face enddenly grew white, and she sat down quickly in the nearest armchair. She placed her band to her heart. I flew to her side. ‘‘What is it, mother, what is it?’’ I cried. awaited for some little while. Borofsky would and could do nothing immediate- ly after his arrival there. His task, in | the nature of it and in accordance with | his instructions, necessitated the great- | est caution and deliberation—nothing | was to be done in a hurry for fear of | causing suspicion and inspiring alarm. A week passed, and there was no news from our little detective; a second went by and still he had not written, excepting a short note to report his arrival in London, written two or three days after reaching English shores. Then mother began to grow despond- ent. There must be a hitch somewhere, she said. Poor dear father had flitted from the lodgings to which Percy had traced him, and Borofsky had lost the scent. ‘‘Never fear, mother, dearest,’’ I as- sured her. ‘‘Borofsky is on his mettle. His reputation is at stake; he will take good care tostrike the scene somewhere and somehow!”’ ‘I don’t know. I havea feeling of depression,’ said mother. ‘I do not feel so sanguine as I did that the man Percy found is really and truly my own Vladimir, your dear father. The photo- graph is very like him, I admit, though when.one examines it through a mag- Sens en anne nae: capentenee , PURITAN DAMES. We hear a great deal these days of our puritan fore- fathers, but little concerning the wives and moth- ers who landed at Plymouth Rock and founded that colony which was destined to play such a large part in our history. In 1621 Elder Cushman wrote from Plymouth that he ‘‘would not advise any one to come here who were not con- tent to spend their time, labors and *‘Oh, Boris, I forgot,” she marmur- ed. ‘‘l had never thought of it till this moment—I forgot—he bade me forget it, and I did, for it was so great a shame and scrrow to him that he dared not | hear it mentioned. Yes, foolish woman that I have been and am, it must be he, and I have believed him thousands of milesaway, andsodid my Vladimir’’— ‘*‘Who, mother, who?’’ I said in des- peration. ‘‘Of whom are you speaking? What shame and sorrow can there be in connection with my dear father? Tell me all, mother. [am yourown son. Do not be afraid to confide in me.”’ ‘“‘I am not afraid!’’ said poor mother ‘*Your father would have told you him- self in good time, maybe, but it is dif- ferent now, and I will tell you. My dear husband, good and true man as he is, and the soul of all honor, has or had a brother, of whom you have never heard, who is his very opposite. as wrong is of right. This man fel) into criminal ways while still almost a youth, and—I will tell yon the details another time—was sent to Siberia, a life sentence. He may have escaped. We know nothing of him; as I say, both your father and I have striven to forget his very existence.”’ ‘““Isee,’’ I said, ‘‘I see. But did heso resemble father that one might be mis- taken for the other ?”’ “— never saw him,” said mother, “but they are said to have been very much alike as boys.”’ CHAPTER X. MEETING IN A LONDON RESTAURANT. “But stop a minute, mother!’ J cried, bewildered by the sudden revela tion. ‘‘Let us consider. What dces tho existence of this criminal uncle of mine exercise upon the mystery? Do you suggest that this man in London may be father’s brother and not father, is that 1t?’’ “That is what struck me; only that it must be remembered the unfortunate man is, or is supposed to be, suffering endeavors for the benefit of those who shall come after, quitely con- tenting them- selves wita such hardships and difficul- ties as shull fall upon them.’’ What self-renunciation and heroic purpose was this! They drowned witches to be sure, but that was no part of their puritanism. It is to the puritan women we owe 50 much for that spirit in our people which gives them the fortitude to endure hardship. and stake life and fortune for their convictions. The American women of to-day have the spirit of their puritan mothers, but their constitutions are not rugged or able to en- dure half the hardships of these New Eng- iand ancestors. Very often they are run- down with weaknesses and irregularities peculiar to their sex, and the constan¢ drain upon their vitality makes them chronic in- valids. Many women hesitate to go = their family physician, because they — the local examinations so generally insiste upon by practitioners. Such women shonld write, Dr. z.

It need not affect it at all, need it, excepting that we should have wast- ed all this time over a false clew? No. | mother, I don’t think it can be this precious uncle. When one comes to think of it, things point so conclusively to father having left for Londcn at the time of his disappearance—the police de- clare it, the station officials testify to it—it must have been father himself and not bis brother, for, in the first place, how could he have escaped from Siberia? And even if he did is it likely that he would have deliberately come to St. Petersburg, the most dangerous place to appear in that an escaped con- vict could choose? And then think of the coincidence of the time of his de- parture with father’s disappearance! No, it would be too extraordinary.” ‘“‘J am thinking.’’ said mother, ‘‘that this Andre, the brother, may have come to St. Petersburg on purpose to harass your father and obtain money from him.

He is still there This man in London is father and no other. He must be. We must find a bet- ter theory for his turning up in Eng- jlandthan this. Your original one about delusions and financial worries is better than the other. Borofsky will bring back dear old father to us; never doubt it, mother. ”’ “God grant it prove so, dear, brave Boris,’’ she sighed. ‘I would not be eruel or unkind, but I do sincerely hope and trust this terrible Andre, whose crime caused your dear father so much shame and bitter sorrow, is, as you say, securely looked after in some Si- berian mine. If he were really at large, I should fear I know not what for our beloved.”’ ‘*How could he injure father, except- ing by revealing himself and causing father shame?’’ I asked. ‘‘I am sorry to hear of this shady relation, dear mother. But I really don’t see how he can have anything to do with this mys- tery of ours.”’ Mother became pacified gradually and thonght with me that there were too many chances against the probabil- ity of my disreputable uncle having turned up in London to make such a theory worth troubling ourselves about. We therefore dismissed it, leaving Andre the convict to languish in his Si- berian mines, so far as our imagina- tions condescended to recall from time to time the rascal’s existence. It was father that Percy had found, not a doubt of it. And now, to confirm us in this view, an :mportant letter arrived from Borof- sky and arrived in the nick of time. Borofsky wrote in a jubilant strain. He had not cared to write before, he explained, because. though he had soon hit upon the original of Percy's photo- graph, he had been unable. until now. to make any progress toward making acquaintance with him. But now there was at last something to report. Borofsky had shadowed his man for several days, learning in this way where he took his meals and how he employed his time, and so on. Mr. Robinson—as Percy had called him in his telegram—seemed to bave many friends in town and visited two or three every day. This did not surprise us. It rather pleased us, for it went to prove, as we agreed, that father could not be very seriously demented if he could visit his acquaintances, of whom, of course, he possessed many in London. ‘To p+ Continued ) Tortured by i= tching almost driven Insane. Instant Relief in Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment One of the most distressing symptoms ima- ginable is the almbst unbearable itching which is an accompaniment of Leucorrhea or whites. The nerves are irritated by the poisonous dis- charge, and the result is an itching which is only rendered more excruciating by rubbing or scratching. Especially at night, when the body is warm, the patient is tormented beyond the powers of buman endurance. Sleep or rest is out of the question. Nervouswess, irritability and des pondency are a natural result. In these offices there are on the file thou- sands of letters from grateful women who have found in Dr. Chase’s Ointment a quick and certain cure for this itching te which women are subject. During the expectant period many women tuffer sitnilar agony from itching of the parts, or itching piles, which are absolutely cured by Dr. Chase’s Ointment. : The first application of this great discove of Dr. A.
