You'llhave to give up your art" - "Nor he thundered, bringing his clinched hand down on the table, "Yes, Roger. You need only reflect a minute to see how incongruous your art willhave become In your nwsur- roundings. An artist is essentially a worker, a toiler and relatively a poor man, You, on the Contrary, will have become one of the few very richmen- in enin the whole world. You can see at once how absurd it would be to go on painting portraits at $5 or $10 or even $20,000 apiece. In the first place, you'd be taking the bread out of other men's mouths, and. In the second. your wouldn't allow you the new duties n time. The first thought of a man as rich as you will be must be his money -the care of it. the spending of it or even the giving of it away. But. on the other hand. you'll have Paula. There'll be that compensation at least. If there's to be a' revolution in your lif it will be tbe kind of revolution e that comes to a man when he's toru away from the interests of this world to go and live in heaven." Marah said much more. but Winship followed with only a wavering atten- tion. When Marah went to bed he pac- ed up and down the studib thinking. Ile passed from himself to the thought of the beloved art he mitt abandon with the rest. He had n5t accepted Marah's opinion when she first ex- pressed it. but little by little. as he re- fleeted, be saw that she was right. The hugely "wealthy portrait painter would be futile and anomalous, Art was in some sense the daughter of necessity, and he would become incapable of work when he had entered into the -Nirvana of Paul Trafford's money. He went about •ttie mem. taking -up and laying down the familiar objects connected •with his painting. It seem- ed to him already as it' he came back to them like a disembodied spirit, uua- hie to handle them any more. He drew the cloth away fromthe newly finish- ed portrait on the easel and stood gaz- Ing at It as if bidding it a. mute fare- well. When he Iii his candle. and went to bed he knew that his mind was made up.• He knew, in fact, that it had • been made up from the beginning. - Whatever might be his pain at:forsalc. Mg his .old life; he could have no real hesitation when Pilule had need of him to make hers anew. • On Thursday afternoon he went to give Trafford his reply. For father and daughter the inter- vening time - had passed in a kind of 1111. From' the fact that Trafford said nothing of the- purpose of Winship's previous visit Paula gathered. that something was in suspense.- As Traf- ford watched her 'it seemed to him that she was better and brighter.-asti her•new freedom had brought her re- lief niready. Her step was lighter .as she weut about -the house, and in her cheek- there was a tinge of color like the first hint of coming dawn. - When at luncheon on Thursday he .asked '•,ir to remain at home 'during the - after - :noon her blush betrayed the knowl- • edge that some. decisive moment was approaching: • Trafford. waited•Ip the small sitting room that bad beenhis wife's.:adjoin- Ing Paula's boudoir "It's a queer world." -he mused, "and We old ones have tumbled Into the midst of a strangely .constructed gen- .erntion.

I've heaped uti the riches, but who's to gather them? Paula would rather be rid of the money than take it; George. has as much as he knows' what tci do with; 1 go begging to old P.oger Winship's son to tike the stuff off' tiny -hands. and he hesitates to do me the favor. Lord. if I could : aware a' fairs' wand and conjure it all back to where it came from I'll be Wowed if I wouldn't do it! It's a cu- Hous Neinesis to overtake a man like Me I've Lind the Most' stupendous luck that any one ever had on earth. and now I can only say that I've walked 'In a vain shadow and disquiet- ed myself in vain." Winship came at 4. From the man- ner of his entering Trafford knew that this tench of the cause was won. Ile strode in, looking very tall. erect and grave, and held out his hand. Trafford rose and took it, with sudden gravity on his part. For a few seeonds they stood with hands clasped. staring each other in the eyes. It was difficult for either to Lind words, to express the sit- uation. -You needn't say' anything," Traf- ford said at last as they moved apart. "1 know you mean to do it and that you'll do it well. It }rill be for me to show that f Appreciate your action." "It will only be necessary for each of 11s to remember that whatever We do we do for Paltln's sake, to make what's ditlieult' easy." • "!'hat's well spoken, Winship. Yon can trust me not to forget it, as I ant sure you won't, Now let me all her," When she nppenred on the threshold irtnslitp still puffed pensivety at his ptpe: • ome., one else the money which . you wouldn't ' be justified :in wasting on "ourself.

She stopped. with a little- quiver in . ler, -Voice: Bending - her head. she :rade sharp tiny strokes on the uufiu- islted miniature before' her. - "But we .must be clear in• advance," she pursued after a• few minutes .of ' ileece., "that the price you•'d have to pay would' be a heavy one.

' Winship still puffed pensively 111 his pipe, looking far away into the (lark fees of the long, dimly lighted room "And yet," she continued, speaking calmly, "you wouldn't he the first man to live under the unjust condemnation of the world. It isn't so hard If you once steel yourself to do it.

But how can 1' accept such sacrifice? The Duke of Wiltshire wouldn't let me do tar less than that for him.

"You, didn't think so six months" ago," Trafford broke in despairingly. "I've ]earned a great deal in six' ths. papa.. 1 understand now things that 1. knew nothing •about then."

Look at me, papa, and kiss me and make me feel that you want to keep me at your side." For a long half minute Trafford re - retained moitiouless. When he turned. It was so suddenly that he shook her from him. Ills face was crimson, but he astonished them both by btr tt o e into a loud and pealing laugh. Paula stepped back from him, bait' afraid, half wondering. Trafford smote his bands together and laughed again, louder and longer than before. "Gad!" he cried. as if stifling in his mirth. "Gad! How easily the little thing is taken in! Didn't yon see, cleat,? Didn't you understand? Why, It's all a trick -it's all a bit of play acting. Fon my soul," he continued, coming nearer to her, "I didn't thin!: you could be imposed upon like that.

You're to to to him without it. It's all settled said un- derstood. You're to live anywhere and anyhow that suits you; and the money can go to blazes.

Trafford shouted again, "take herr' - - He flung her from him with a wild force that would have been brutal had not Winship ca'ognt her in his arms. He laughed agate as he groped like a blind, man, feeling his way from the room; but, being unused to comedy, be betrayed himself by stoppiyg too ab- ruptly when he had banged the door behind him. Within the room the silence was strange and sudden: Paula hung pant- ing and helpless in Winship's arms, while Winship rained .hisses on her -lips and eyes and hair in the unloosed passion of his long pent-up love. CHAPTER XXVII. HAT'S done," Trafford panted • to himself when he was in. the corridor. "It's done and settled for ever and ever.' By heaven, I did it ,well!

I had to let her go. There are very few men who would have done it like that."

The jury- as it is 'found to -day is a. relic of the ancient popular justice. In the city states of antiquity the entire male population passed upon the guilt or innoebnee of the offending party. us a - The oldest GreekGreekpoet hasleft picture of what the primitive jury was. The court is sitting; the ques- tion of "Guilty" or "Not guilty" is put, and the old men of the commun- ity in turn give their opinion, the rank and file of the people standing about applauding the opinion that strikes them most, the applause de- termining the decision. Gradually the jury became narrowed down in num- bers until it finally appears as we see it to -day. CURED OF CONSTIPATON - Mr. Andrews praises Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. Mr. George Andrews of Halifax, writes: . "For many years I have been troubled with ch: onic Constipation. This ea- 't meat never comes single-handed, and 11 • have been a victim to the many illnesses. that constipation brings in ite train. t'M icine after medicine I have taken. in ord to find relief, but one and all left in the same hopeless condition. It seemed that nothing would expel from. me the one ailment that caused so much trouble, yet at last I read about these . Indian Root Pills. That was indeed a lucky day for me, for I was so impressed with the state-' ments made that. I determined to give them a fair trial. They have regulated my stomach and bowels. I am cured of constipation, and I claim they have no equal as a medi- cine." For over half a century Dr. Morse's • Indian Root .Pills have been curing con- stipation and clogged, inactive kidneys, with all, the ailments which result from them. - They cleanse - the whole systema end purify the blood.

How can a bullet puncture a man's. coat behind and - before or pierce bis boot and sock and be gravely shaken out of both without wounding him? And what mysterious channel does this human body contain which leads a bul- let dexterously around the heart, ae - hair's breadth from the seat of Biel yet never rending it -a phenomenonnomenon vouched for by more than one army,: surgeon? Shells have burst thnnde 4 - ously between the very legs of soldiers and left them still soldiers. Pompom shells of- two inches diameter have passed through legs and arms witbosti - shattering the bone or bursting at the impact, though there -appears to be lit- erally . r 11 n o room for such a merciful, performance. In fact, a history of the escapes in war would be wild reading even after a course of Munchausen. Sharing His Bed.

Floyd, an- other poor author, was .wanderldg about the streets he found Derricks asleep upon a bulk. Upon being sud- denly awakened Derrick started up. "My dear Floyd," said he, "I am sorry to see you in this dostu it to state Will you go home with me to my lodgings?' And they turned in on the bulk to- - gether like the good fellows they were. • Established 1879 t`OR WHOOPING COUGH, CROur, ASTHMA, COUGHS, BRONCIIITIG.
