Baines understood her plainly;
she did not wish. Dorothy to know
she had not been to bed all night.
"Lor' bless you, miss; in course

busy unfolding the delieate eream-

Dorothy's wear, and her faee was
hidden --"I think, miss, she will be
better left alone."
"Baines," Dorothy checked her-
self; she stood lost in deep refec
tion ; and while Baines wondered to
herself when she should best broach
the subject of her going with Nancy,
and if her young mistress would be
annoyed at the request, Dorothy's
voice broke in on her musing, and,.
by some strange coincidence, she
spoke on this very subject.
"Baines," she said, slowly, "I
think I should like you to accom-
pany Miss Hamilton as maid; she
knows you, anci trusts you, and -
and I should be happier knowing
you were with her; what do you
say, Baines!"
And then Baines explained that
she had come there on purpose to
ask this very thing, and that if Miss
Dorothy did not mind, she would
like to go with Thomas Crawsbaw's
young wife when she left the Hall.
that day.
Dorothy's clear gray eyes met the
maid's honest ones, and, though
neither spoke, there was the same
thought in the mind of each -that
by doing this they .would feel that
Nancy had soire protection and
comfort in her forthcoming detest-
able marriage.
"See that your box is packed at
once, Baines, and tell Mrs. Craven
to pay that Frenchwoman who came
down last night a month's -wages,
and let her go," said Dorothy
quickly ; and when she was once
tnor'e alone she 'stied and gave way
to her thought:; again.

Dr. Morse's (Indian Root Pi[ls

When the sewers of the body -bowels,
kidneys and skin ducts --get clogged up,.
the blood quickly becomes impure and
frequently sores break out over the body.
The way to heal thein,; as Mr. Richard
Wilson, who lives near London, Ont.,
found, is to purify the blood. Be
writes`.
"Tor some time I had been in a low,
depressed condition, lily appetite left
me and soon began to stiffer from indi-
gestion, Quite a number of small sores
and blotches formed all over illy skin. 1
tried medicine for the blood and used
tnany kinds of ointments, but without
satisfactory results, What was wanted
was a thorough cleansing of the blood,
and I looked about in vain for some medi,
eine that would accomplish this,
At last Dr, Morse's Indian Rot Pills
were brought to my notice, and they are
one of the most wonderful medicines I
have ever known. . My
blood was
puri-
fied in a very short time,
sores healed up,
my indigestion vanished. They always
have a place in my home and are looked
upon, as the family remedy."
