I remained in the study for so
time, a prey to the most violent ex-
citement, lu wvh1cir the emotions of
grief and remorse struggled vainly
against the intoxicating belief that
Babiole loved me. I strode up and
down what little space there was
is the room, until the four
walls could contatiu mo no
longer. Then for an hour I
wandered about the forest, climbed
11» to the top of a rock which over-
looked the Dee and the Braemar
road, and came back in the moon-
light by the. elle11 of old Knock Castle,
from which, three hundred years ago,
James Uortton went forth to fight for
his kinsman and neighbor, the Baron
of l3raickley, and fell by lits side in
one of the fierce and purposeless
skirmishes wlioli seem to have been
the only occupation worth mention-
ing of the highland geuilumefi of
those times. When I returned home
I saw Babble's shadow through tlio
blind of the little room where her
husband's body was lying. It was
long past my dinner hour, and I was
so brutistny hungry that I felt
thankful that neither of the unhappy
ladles was present to be tiisgasted
with any mountain appetite. I had
scarcely risen from table when Fer-
gueon informed mo that Mrs. Ellmer
had sent Tom to beg me to conte to
the Cottage to sec her husband, who
she feared was dying-, Remembering

if he, lived, be sorry that Itis misera-
ble lite would in all probability end

I found him lying in bed in one of
the upper rooms of the cottage
witis his wife standing by his side.
His eyes were feverishly bright, and
thea hand he let me take felt dry-
an'lI withered. He said nothing when.
I asked hhn how he was, but stared
at mo intently while his wife spoke.
"He wanted to see you, lir. Maude,
jest while he felt a little better
area able to speak," said she, "to
tell you how sorry he is for the fool-

LUNG WEAKNESS
Is Due to Poor and Watery

That is Why Some People Cannot Get

elops Into Consumption. b
The lungs are just like any; other
portion of tho body—they need •L
constant supply of pure, rich blood a
to keep them sound atld strong. If
the lungs are not strong they, are fo
unable to resist disease, and that is , 1
the reason why an apparently sim-
ple cold clings until the patient . t
grows weaker and weaker and fin- 1 01
ally fills a consumptive's grave. Dr. ; f
Williams' Pink Pills never fail to e
strengthen the lungs, because they, ! r
make the new., rich red blood which , f
atone can do this work. The most ' e
emphatic proof that .Dr. iilliams' 1
Pink Pills re -build the lungs and j a
cure consumption in its earlier 1 h
stages, is given in the case of Miss

growled, angrily, by way of prelude,
as I returned to the bedside. "By
your own showing you have loved Ba-

"Yes." • .

It was an impossible question for
mo to answer, and I was thankful
that the dying man's ears caught
the sound of footsteps on the stairs,
which diverted his attention from me
and gave Inc an opportunity to es-
cape. Outside the door I met Ba-
iole, who flitted past me qulekiy as
went down: I sate no more of the
tidies that night, for both stayed
t the cottage. But next day when
Ferguson came to my room lie in-
rmed me that the poor fugitive
lad died early that morning.
I was sincerely thankful that the
unfortunate man had slipped so easily
ut of the chain of troubles lie had
orged for himself, since, as I expect -
d, intelligence of the affair had al-
eady got abroad, and two police of -
leers from Aberdeen came down
arty in the afternoon, and were fel-
owed soon after by an official of the
Syltum from which Milner had made
is escape.
Then there were Inquiries to be
ell, and a great deal of elaborate
uss and formality to be gone
hrough before the bodies of my poor
riend and his crazy assailant could
e laid quietly to rest. I sent the
'wvo widowed ladies away to Scar-
orough to recover front the effects
the torturing interrogatories of
iglt-dried Scotch functionaries, and
gave myself up to a week of the
ost dismal Wretchedness I ever re-

ways have for the commonplace
and an element of mystery; if that
ement Is not afforded by the cir-

introduced by conjecture and ingeni-

If the charehee confessedly fall, as
they :la to reaeb the maeses ; if at-
tendance is falling off and interest
in 'religion declining, It le not that
men and women are growing harder,
more unbelieving; and materialistice
not that they feel less the need of
spiritual guidance and uplift than in
former days, but chiefly because they
do not find the needed uplift and
guidance in the religious service as It
is how administered In many of the

much conventionality, too much in-
sbetence upon things useless, outworn.
and non-essential, too m.uct that is

!nth It Develops Into Pneumonia or Consumption—Easy
to Cure a Cold if You Use
DR. CHASE'S SYRUP OF LINSEED AND TURPENTINE
It is easy to let a cold run on.
You way my with others that you
alvenys let te cold take date of it-
self. There is a danger of follow-
ing this plan once too often. At
this season of the year the lungs
seem to be unusnally susceptible to
disease, and before you' suspect it
pneumonia. or consumption had
seated itself in your system. It is
possible you have tried the cough
matrixes which druggists offer to
their cusitemers. These may xio well
enough far slight colds, tickling in
the throat, but they are powerless
in the presence of serious disease.
Dr. Chase's' Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine is . far Inere than a cough
remedy. It cures the cold as well
as loosening and easing the cough.
It takes the pains out( or the bones
and reaches the very seat of the
disease when there is palm and
tightness in the chest, rt. would not
be too much! to say, that Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine
