It Happened one dreary, wet morn-
ing towards the end of May. I was
eitting idly in my study dreaming of
the'" ssaticnts that never came, and of
the °urea I might effect were I only
given the opportunity, and in the end
carne to the conclusion that medicine,
was a very .suitable profession for
,those lvho wished to starve. From
this pessimistic reverie I was sud-
• •denly araused'by the prolonged clang-
ing oGf, the front -door bell, and as 1
r
o
ustened I heard my solitary domes-
tic shuffling along the corridor to
Sus wer, the appear.
A moment later she returned, bear-
ing a piece of paste -board on a tray.
1 took it and react: "Lady Marehnront,
Marchmont Hall."
"Show hes, in," I said, solemnly, as
•
I piled a heap of dusty papers on the
table. .I held my breath as a steady
footfall came` from without, and then
a mately, middle-aged woman sailed
into the room. and sank into an' arm-
chair without a word.
I closed the door and stood before
her.
"Good morning. Er—what may I
do for you? I broke out, awkward-
ly.
"Nothing for me, thanks." A pause
ensued, after ,'which she asked, as if
o by a Budden inspiration, "You are, not
very well off, are you?"
The boldness of the question stag-
gered sne, and I was about to give
a fitting retort when, noticing my
annoyance, -. sihe • held up her gloved
hand to interrupt me.
"You see; :1 never, mince matters.
'As it happens, I know almastas much
about your private affairs as you do
yourself. Now, are you prepared to
undertake a task that will pay you
better than sitting here in the hapo
that someone will fall down in afit
outside your window? ' Mind, I .must
first tell you that you'll have to bind
yourself under an oath of absolute
secrecy as to all you: are told? or may
discover. Before you give 'me your
answer I should like you also to un-
derstand that you , need have no
fears,` and: that when I.engage -a
medical man society .invariably flat-
tern me by employing thosame indi-
vidual, and drops him when I drop
him.'
For a moment.I hesitated, but soon
had my reply ready.
"Yes, I will undertake the task; be-
lieving, Lady Marchmont, that you
mean me well. As to secrecy -well,
1 pledge my honour as a man of medi-
cine. 1 can do no more."
"Good. And you know something
of horse -racing ?"
Once again her eccentricitystartled
me, but I replied that I knew a lit-
tle.
"Good, also. 'You have my card.
Came." to the Hall at eight o'clock to-
night. Good morning." And with
a sigh of relief she got up and went
to the door.
I eat drawn to think the matter out.
1 was taking a deep plunge, but it
was too late to retract now, and, af-
ter all, it might be to myc advantage.
But what ccrinection'racing had with
medicine I was at a loss to under-
htand,'and realizing that ni.y know-
ledge of the former was somewhat
hazy, I picked up the daily paper and
acanned the • turf notes. Before',
long I found myself reading a para-
graph that aroused my curiosity.. It
ran:
"This year's Derby willprobabl
be leasti y
b
interesting on
there is not the slightest doubt but
,what Lady Marchmont's lovely ani-
mal,' Seaflower, is bound to win: hands
dawn. There is no other horse with
such pace and staying powers on the
turf at the < present >moment, so the
race •inay be considered ae good as
won already."
Puzzling over this, the latest ad-
dition to what 'seemed to be an in-
creasing mystery, ` I allowed : the.
hours to slowly pass until it was time
lto prepare for the journey•
as just striking eight by the
village clock down 'the valley when
the• cab drew up before Marchmont
Hall, and getting out I passed into
the hone through the door that had
been already opened to admit me. 'A
'.footman removed my coat and hat;
and thenext instant Lady March-
mont herself was by my side.
"Cani.e upstairs, will you?" was all
athe said, as she led the way.She stop-
ped on the threshold of a bedroom
door, and taking the handle glanced
into my' face before turning it.
"You have not regretted your de-
cision?" she asked.
"Not, in the slightest,";I responded.
Without further parley' she opened
the door and we passed in. ;The room
was dark, but a lamp, covered with
a scarlet shade, threw a circle of
light 'uponthe bed, lighting up in
weird reliefathc features of the man
who lay there, 1 started back, and
with ,difficulty stippressecj an excla-
mation, for I recognised the pati-
ent'e face. Twa years since the il-
, lustrated papers had published pie,
'tures: of Lord Marchmont, believing
hint to be dead. But he was not
dead; lie lay in the bed before me!.
At a glance I saw he was dying,
and a brief esaminatiori proved the
truth 'ofnay stirmee. I bared his
chest to listen to his breathing, and
as 1 ilid so saw tattooed upon •his
flesh the form: of a double -headed
dragon, • Ilis breath came in lab-
oured gasps, and it was plainly evi-
dent, that . he had but a few more
hours. to live. To attempt to save
his life was useless; and, well aware
of: Pthi„I beckoned; to Lady March-
mant, and together we left the room
and hurried. downstairs,
Neither ol'' us spoke until we had
closed the 'door upon ouraelvcs in a
small room leading` out of the. hall.
Sab' Lora d alio to a chair as She
turned up the gas, and then sat
down facing me.
"I :fear you have called .mo an
fruitless errand,” I began.
"Not at all I know he's dying. 1

require a death -certificate later on,"

"Seaflowver will not win. You're

Fifty

there in my name, and, by simply
Blending in my signature I could
draw upon it to any extent. I closed
the 'back and slowly put it in my

"'In a few words; this is what you
have to do," she said, slightly smil-
ing at my .look of wonder. "You

"But you're going to See the race

RICH, RED BLOOD
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO

Through the 'Blood Every Organ, Every Nerve
and Every Tleeue In the [lady le Nourished—
If the Blood Ie impure Disease Takeo Fos'
eaeelon of the System.
If you want do, be well take care
of the blood. The blood is aptly' term-
ed the vital fluid, and it is through
it that every organ and every tis
sue of the body is nourished. If; the
blood becomes impoverished, the en-
tire system is in, danger of a break-
down, and what is termed anaemia,
general debility, or even consump-
tion may be the" result. Prudent
people occasionally take a tonic for
the purpose of keeping the blood pure,
but the unwell are those to whom
this article is chiefly valuable, as it
will point out an""'easy and speedy
means to renewed health. Mrs.
Joseph Herbert, who keeps a grocery
at the corner of St. Germain and Her-
mcdne streets, St, Sauveur, Que., tells
the following story of broken health
and renewed vigor: "I suffered for
many months, said Mrs. Herbert,
"from an impoverished condition of
the blood, coupled with extreme" ner-
vousness. I was very pale and, felt
languid and indisposed to exertion. A
dizzy Sensation on arising quickly
from a chair, or coming down stairs,
often :troubled me. The least exer-
cise would leave inc-almost out of
breath, and my heart would palpitate
violently, while at other: times I
would feel a smothering sen-
sation. Often fay" face and
army would swell and puff and the
arms became almost useless. I doc-
tored more : or less' for the trouble,
but 'did nob get oany real benefit until
I begun the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I had been 'using the
pills only a Sew. weeks: when I found
myself growing stronger and better
an every way. I continued 'taking
the .pillti,for nearly three months.
for 'I was determined the cure would
be thorough—but sometime before I
discontinued using them I felt in
better health, than :I had: enjoyed for
years before. My sleep ms now
healthful and refreshing, my appetite
excellent, anld I feel equal tot almost
any exertion. I feel that I owe all,
this to Dr. > Williams' Pink Pills, and
it will always. give me pleasure to re-
commend them."
Ib is the 'mission of Dr. 'aVilliams'.
Pink Pills to .make rich red blood,
nourish the nerves, tissues and vari-
ous'organis oa the body, and thus by
reaching the root of the trouble drive
disease from the system. Other med-
icines act only upon the symptoms of
the disease, and when, such medicines
are discontinued the trouble returns
—often in an aggravated form. 1f

"But how do you know Challenger

"Because Lord Marchmont will ride
him," ahe responded quietly.
As I walked back to the station the
keen night air recalled, me to my

would never rise from his hod again,

Soon spinning through the country at
a good speed. Ir;' the corner opposite
was a burly gentleman, who, upon
my abrupt entrance, threw aside his
paper to engage in conversation.' We

and then the topic) changed to sport.

"I believe so," I replied, carefully.

"Yes, Lady k
goad piece of horse -flesh when she

husband two years ago, wasn't it?"
"Very."
"Just making his way in Parlia-
ment too: I don't think he left her
much. I happen to be in the:insur-
ance line, and I knowhe was very
heavily insured, however. Some put
it as a quarter of a million, and I
reckon that's about the size of it."
I 's'at bolt upright, but refrained
from Speaking. An endless train of
thoughts '•rushed through my brain,
and I tried to think. The money had
doubtless been drawn, but Lord
Marchmont was not dead! One sus-
pician led to . another. Bove could
she prevent Seaflower passing the
winning -post first? Was ' I playing
into the hands of a criminal, who
contemplated yet another crime? The
thought so stunned mo that T lay
back in my corner and did not speak
again until the train drew up ah my
destination.
The following day I spent in Lon -
den, laying all my newly -acquired
wealth against Seaflower.
Late that night I got into the R.psomt
train at London 'Bridge, bag in hand,
though for the matter of that Iquite
expected to have to, sleep on the
Dawns for lack of accommodation at
any hotel. It was intensely cold, and
when I alighted at the little Surrey
town a fine rain was falling.
A number of other passengers had
come down by the same train, and so
greatly did the stranger sex pre-
dominate that I was surprised when
a woman got out of a carriage and
walked along the platform before me.
I quickened my steps to overtake her,
and in passing looked hard at her
face. She was heavily veiled, but
the light of an oil -lamp glinting
through the fabric revealed the fea-
Lures of Lady Marchmont. At the
same time she recognized me, and
bounding forward was soon lost in
the darkness.
On the morning of the race the
course was. thronged with the same
moteiy crowd that always assembles
on such occasions. Men and women
jostled against each other in their
endeavours to catch a glimpse of the
horses and their riders as they can-
tered to the starting -point.
"There goes I3rigstock on Seaflow-
er," said som:ecne as a cheer went up.
"'E's got a soft job to -day. And
there's Joe Meadows on Challenger.
Locks as if 'e's goin' to do 'is best,
any'ow, don't 'e ?"
"Rather.,' Where "did he spring
from?"
"Don't know. Wonderful what 'e's
done when yer"consider as 'ow this! 'ib
only 'is second season."
The e words caused my heart to
give a bound and beat wildly. What
did it all mean? I could only believe
that this man Meadows was Lord
Marchmont, and yet two days ago I
had given up all hopes of his recov-
ery ! I strained my 'neck to get a
view of him, but the horses had
reached the past, and before long a
prolonged shout told me that the
race had begun. The cheering be-
came louder, and above all rasa the
thunder of the approaching horses.
"There you are! Cballenger is
catching him up! Seaflower's not
going to win, after all. Good heav-
ens 1 they're even ! Challenger gains.
Look ! look I Seaflower's falling off!"
And then, almost .as they reached
the spot near where I stood, Challen-
ger stumbled and came down with a
sickening thud. The rider was
thrown high in the air, and fell( upon
his head and lay still. Scarce know-
ing what I did, I brake through the
cordon when the other horses bad
passed, and found .myself kneeling
over the jockey.
He was dead. I tore open his jack-
et and felt hiS heart. It had ceased
to beat. And there tattooed upon
the skin was the double -headed
dragon!
Marchmont was dead and Seaflower
had won ! That was the news I had
to carry back to Lady: Marchmont.
A cab was whirling me in the di-
rection of Cavendish Square, and I
opened a paper a news -boy had
thrust into my hand at the station.
Something in the "Latest News" col-
mmn caught my eye, causing me: to
hold my breath ar,d look closer. It
was but a small paragraph, but,to me
it explained much that Iliad thought
I should never know. I read:
"Derby' Result: Challenger fell and
threw Meadows, killing him instant-
ly. Seafiawer- won, but within ten
mintites :of the finish fell dawn in a
fit. Veterinary on course cerci- 1
fees slaw poison having been admin-
istered during past twenty -`four

during race. Fatal results feared,

A few minutes later the cab drew',
up at the house and I jumped out.
'IS Lady Marchmont here?" I ask-
ed the footman,
"Yes, sir, Dr. Trevor, I believe?"
"The ,same. Please take sae to
her."
T was shown into a large drawing-
room, where a number; of ladies were
Seated discussing the race over the
tea -cups.
"Seaflowcr i$ ,bound. to win, Lady
Marchmont," I heard one say, as I'.
entered.

and clapped her hands..
"Splendid ! Splendid 1 I knew ho

Aid I could not: hut admire the wo-
man who suffered with such-stoicisrn
lhe failure of her eelicmes, the ban-
ishment of her hopes, end the crush-

discovered, it was her last endeavour
to acquire the wealth that would en-

her rich eampanions. And oven now

to Which I had been an eye -witness.

in appearance—passed away at the.

A few days later I received a letter
from Lady Marchmont telling mo
that Bhe was tired od society, London,
and things in general, and was leav-
ing for abroad. I never betrayed her
secret; in the first place because 1
owe my present position as a famous'
West -end physician to her 'recom-

struggle to regain the wealth her
husband had squandered during his
Parliamentary career, though a
criminal one, was the struggle of a
