For what purpose? Ex- plain, sir, at once. How dared he take my photograph?’ ‘* «For the consolation of the countess, only.’ I hastened to reply. ‘That she and the young count might recognize that you were indeed your excellence and no other.’ ‘*Then the count’s face softened, and he laughed. ***Of course, of course!’ he said. ‘Naturally, not having received my letters, they would be unaware of my presence in London and disinclined to believe I could have gone so far afield without letting them know—ha, ha! So they must verify my photograph tak- en by this youth, my son’s friend! It is good, and very good—a curious turn and combination of events! And my | wife recognized the portrait at once, I suppose, though it can have been but a mere daub of a thing, done by a boy. eh ?’ ‘* «The countess recognized it at once, you baggard and worn as if with trouble.’ ‘**Ha, trouble!

There are thou. sands of men whoa are recklessly risking their lives while they go about their common every-day avoca- tions. They over-work, they do not take sufficient time from business or labor to eat or sleep or rest, or to care for their health. Outraged nature throws out danger signals, to which they pay no heed. They suffer from bilious or nervous disorders, from sick headache, giddiness, drowsiness, cold chills, flushings of heat, shortness of breath, blotches on the skin, loss of ap- petite, uncomfortable sensations in the stomach after meals, loss of sleep, lassi- tude and trembling sensations. These are the advance symptoms of serious and fatal maladies. All disorders of this nature are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It restores the lost appetite, gives sound and refreshing sleep, makes the digestion per- fect, the liver active. It purifies the blood and makes it rich with the life-giving ele- ments of the food. It is the great blood- maker and flesh-builder. It makes the body active and the brain keen. It is the best of nerve tonics. Thousands have testified to its merits. No honest dealer will urge upon you a substitute for the little extra profit it may afford. : The man or woman who neglects consti- pation is gathering in the systemt a store of disorders that will culminate in some serious and possibly fatal malady. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a safe, sure, speedy and permanent cure for constipa- tion.

Do you ; | desire to write to this story, Boris Landrinof, | the countess and to tel] her that it shal] be as she wishes? Do so then, my friend, for my letters are, as we have seen, intercepted by my enemies. Tell the countess that I may return at any time, maybe this very week—who knows? Perhaps we shall return together, you and I.’ ‘‘With that,’’ wrote Borofsky, ‘‘we parted, but though we parted, I made sure that his excellence returned to the hotel, for I followed him. This was last night, and today we have not spoken The count is considering, he told me whether to risk a return at once. Ina few days we shall know for certain—a week at latest. Have I done well? J bave done my best.”’ CHAPTER XIIL THE COUNT’S RETURN PROMISED. Borofsky had done well—indeed he could scarcely have managed better. Nevertheless the whole of the story his letter told us, though undoubtedly a true story, rang, somehow, in a false key. This picture of father was not like my dear old dad as I knew him, and I could not help feeling, though I said nething of it to mother, that if Borof- sky had exaggerated nothing in describ- ing his violence and the eccentricity of his behavior, then my poor father must certainly be irresponsible, for the pres- ent, for his words and actions—in a word, something or some combination of circumstances had bereft him of his senses. God grant Borofsky would succeed in bringing the poor, dear old man safely home with him! The soothing influence of quiet home life and the loving at- tention of his wife would be more likely to restore bim to himself than any oth- er treatment. I could see that mother felt much the same as I about it. She looked at me with tear laden eyes when I had finished the letter. ‘Is that all?’ she asked. ‘‘That’s all, mother,’’ I said, and J] dared add nothing to this for fear of betraying myself. Neither did my mother speak for sume little while, and, though I scarcely glanced at her, I knew well that she cried quietly. ‘‘Borofsky will bring him back ina few days, dearest,’’ I said at length, ‘‘and a little quiet home life wiil soon make him quite himself again.’”’ “God grant it!’’ she said. ‘God grant it! Oh!’’ she added suddenly, with a burst of emotion. ‘‘What has my poor Vladimir ever done to be visit- ed by so terrible an affliction, and what manner of calamity could have occurred to such a man that could be sufficiently overwhelming to unhinge his mind?’ These were questions which I could rot answer, for they were the very ones that were vexing my own soul as well as hers. ‘We shall know all, mother, in God’s good time,’’ I said. ‘‘Let us be patient and face the trouble. When father comes, we will make it our business to rid him of these delusions and fears, as though any one could possibly conspire against dear old pater! He basn’t an enemy in the world. I’m sure of it. What can possibly have put such ideas into his head? He imagines he has written con- stantly, you see, and that his letters have been intercepted. He has not in- tentionally left us without news even in this terrible time of mind unhinged and of many sad delusions.”’ It comforted mother to talk, and we conversed in this way for an hour and more, but without coming to any other conclusion than that father was un- doubtedly out of his mind temporarily, and that the sooner our excellent little Sherlock Holmes succeeded in bringing him home the better. How anxiously we awaited the next letter or telegram! No words could adequately describe the anguish of sus- pense we suffered. What if Borofsky should have failed, after all, to induce the poor, dear, delusion haunted old man to accompany him heme? He might take fright at any moment and mis- trust Borofsky’s good faith, or, worse still, become violent and attack, per- haps even murder, the man in a par- oxysm of madness. Merciful heaven forbid it, what a terrible thing that would be! I did not mention my fore- bodings to mother lest I should frighten her, but I spoke to Percy, who said he had felt the very same fears. Then came Borofsky’s third letter, a very short one, but a letter that glad- dened our hearts and caused us to feel that all was well, or nearly so. “I bave persuaded the count to come,’’ he wrote, ‘‘and we shall start tomorrow. I shall telegraph on Tues- day from the frontier if we shall have arrived so far in safety. Meanwhile, a few words of caution: Treat the count | as though nothing had happened.

Luncheon time came and passed and the afternoon slowly wore. Three o’clock was reached and done with; then half past and then 4, and still the telegram had notarrived. Had Borofsky failed, after all? Then it came. The message was placed in my hands by one of the men. I tore the envelope open and read Vseo blagopoluchne. (All well.) BOROFSKY. And with the document I rushed to my mother. “It’s all right, dearest,’’ I blurted. “Borofsky has got him. Tomorrow evening dad will dine with us!”’ I think we cried together over that telegram—tears of pure relief and rest from anxiety. ‘To be Continued.) } 5 p.A.W.
