The Cerribie word was never

CHAPTER N XXV.

then, did Helena r.alhe her awful
position: and with this realiention
came the startling hnoaledge that

In vain site trieil to cheer her
trembling heart with the hope that
Vivien might relent and nee her
from the long, weary months -Per-
haps years - of eonfinement with
which she had threatened her.
She would calmly await: her fate,
Surely Hem en would 'befriend her.
She was breve and hopeful. When Dr.
Black or 'Ws wife returned to the
room she would throw herself upon
their merry and beg them to set her
free.
The morning paper lay upon the
sofa where Dr, Black had hastily
tossed it upon his entrance.
What was it that held her spell-
bound, and made the very blood turn
to Ice in her veins?
With a low, bitter ery she clutch-
ed the paper; but the words &mead
before her horrified vision like let-
ters of lire.
It was the &tU miwshaper article
that Prudence Forrester had read
aloud to Miss Kirkwood, and which
Yivian had overheard -the article
accusing the handsome young Ameri-
can of the attempted assassination
of his rival and fellow countryman,
Herbert Renwick. closing with the
terrible worils:
"The preliminary examination of
the aceehed will take place at two

A. terrible cny eholte from Helena's
paliki lips; she clutched the paper In
her hand, sobbing out wildly:
"How there they accuse Frederick of
so dastardly a crime - so ignoble
a deed?"
She would not believe him guilty
though the evidence were a thousand
times as black! Oh, if she could

Useless, useless!
Frederick must face this terrible ac-

her life to save him, could not soothe
him with her laving presence.
What if they thrust him in a prison

A thought, born of .desperation, oc-

him at once as the old sailor who
had so bravely carried them through
the three terrible days on the wide,
restless ocean, and from whom she
had parted at the Liandon doche at -

ing him that he should hear from

Dr. Black drew back, deadly pale
even to his bearded lips. Ile saw he
was badly worsted; the old sailor
had heard of him.
"T. will not bendy words with
you," he said, haughtily, scowling
darkly. "This young lady was plac-
ed by her friends iri my charge and
under my tare. Take her from me at
yews peril; you shall answer for it

A hearty laugh broke froth the old
sailor's lips. He deigned the doctor
no reply, but tucking poor terrified
little Helena's aria underehis
hurried her triuteptiantly drone enthe

"Oh, ser haven't time to thank

And in a few brief words she • ex-
plained to him rapidly that which
the reader already knows -the ar-
rest of her lover for the attempted
assassination of poor Herbert Ren-
wick, who had saired her from the
burning steamer.

A Remedy Tor Scours.
A remedy for scours given by Mine
in Mich COWS and Dairy Farming is
two drachms prepared chalk or one
ounce Magnesia. 10 grains powderedi
opium, one-half drachms powdered
categh.te two drachms tincture of
=paktum and five drops essence of
peppermint, give,n twice a day ice
neilk or gruel. In case this is not et-
fective, give two scruples Dover's
powders, one °elle° starch or posv-
derc-d arrowroot, one drachm cinna-
mon' powder and one-half drachm
powdered kino..Doil the star& or ar-
rowroot in water until it thick((,
and when cold stir in the other in-
gredients a.nd give morning and
night. It is a good plan to keep a
lump of chalk constantly before
calves, as it corracts acidity of the
stomach.
