with 14. hard, sorrowful gaze, which sent a
cola shiver to Mali Mee's heart. She crouch-
ed. nearer him, but he motioned her off
gently, mutteriug words she did not under-
stand.
"1)o not stay with me longer now," he
said, rising ; "when you want to see me, yon
may come here."
His tone awed the girl; she drew herself
away, and pat lor a few moments watching

eyes. Fier lora thrust her from him. But
Iwo moona had waned since he sentto bring
her to his side; for two months he had be-
lieved her dead. It must be there was an
other woman now; and Moung Louk's lie
had done this. She rose from the floor, and

shikolarglided from the house without an-
other word.
Soon after she had gone GeorgeFarnwood

"There is little to tell you," he said.
"Moung Look played me false. The story
of his journey to Shwaydoungetee and Mail

he uever went near the place.,"
" What are we to do, George?" asked
aIabel, when she had heard all Mali Mee

"1 do not know, darling," he groaned;
" my head is in a whirl."

" I saw- Thar:moo' Thokin 2411 horn. ago,"
said Mah Mee, looking nawrowly into the
man's face, expeuting to see some symptom
of alarm there.
Yes ?" said Moung Bonk, svith an air of
sympathetic interest. "His bonour had
sent me to bring .you to him; but having
heard in lelaulmatu of yeur death I did not
go on to Shwaydoungyee. I returned to
tell him of it. His honour was sorry to

with quivering lips.

Mah Mee shot a glance of hungry ferocity
at him, and clenched her hands convulsive-
ly while she waited to hoar more. But
Mottng Leak was iu no hurry to go on. It
seemed to him that his betrayal of Mr. Faro -
wood's trust, width lie had slime regretted,
might after all anish him with an instru-
ment to wreak a vengeance bitter enough to
satisfy his worst craving, and he did not
wish to make a false step by hasty speech.
Such an event as the engagement of the
daughter of the SW -boa -twee or "Great War
Chief" who commanded the police, to an
officer belonging to that body, could not
well remain unknown to the rank and file
when orderlies and messengers were about
the houseall day gossiping with the servants.
Every constable in Rangoon knew that the
dacoit-slaying officer from Shwaydoungeree

Go -bus; indeed, a subscription to purchase
a wedding present had been set on foot
among the men, for the Colonel was very
popular, and his daughter's marriage offered
an opportunity of paying him an indirect
compliment. Moung Louie, who had fre.
gment intercourse with his old comrades, had
been made aquainted with the news soon
after his return from IVIaulmain, and had
thought a good deal about it in connection
with Mr. Farrewood's .despatch of himself
to brines Mah Mee.
" Whet has happened 1" asked the girl,
findingMoung Louk did not speak.
"Ib is seed by the police,a answered the
man with eeetning reluctance, "that Tharn-

Burmese sentries were evidently beginning
to wonder when their charge was going to
retire, from time to time they walked out
on to the grass to see what she was doing.
At length a movement in the veranda Made
the watcher start : through the muslin cur-
tains she saw a lady enter Miss Grane's room
and turn up the lamp.. She pieced up her
dah and fingered its edge delicately, a few
minutes more and then— She set her
teeth and glared with eyes that started from
their sockets up at the shadowy figure in
the bedroom ; for a moment she had lost

A Well itnown Lady Tells
of Croat Benefit
Derived From
Hood's Sarsaua.riiia
For Debility, Neuralgia and
Catarrh
" TORONTO, Dec. 28, 1890.
4'C. I. HOOD & CO., Lowell, Mass.
" GENTLEMEN: For many years I have
been suffering from catarrh, neuralgia
and general debility. I failed to obtain
any permanent relief front medical ad-
vice, and my friends feared I would
never find anything to cure me. A
short time ago I was induced to try
Hood's Sarsaparilla. At that time I
was unable to walk even a short dis-
tance without feeling a

overtake me. And I had intense pains
from neuralgia, in my head, back and
limbs, which were very exhausting.
But I ane glad to say that soon after I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw
that it was doing me good. I have
now taken three bottles and am entirely
euralgia.
Cured of N
am gaining in strength rabidly, and
can take a two-mile walk without feel-
ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so
much from catarrh, and find that as my
;strength increases the catarrh decreases.
I am indeed a changed woman, and
shall eavays feel grateful to Hood's Sar-
saparilla for what it has clone for me.
It Bs My Wish
that this my testimonial shall be pub-
lished in order that others suffering as I
was may learn how to be benefited.
"Yours ever gratefully,
"Mits. M. E. MERRICK,
