In this condition, the people of the slum made short work Of him They removed his watoh and cha u—they took his ring from his finger and removed a gold stud from his Icollar--then they deprived him of his coat end waistcbat, and finally haVing robbed him of all th t they considered worth i taking, re man ro ghly lifted him under the arms, another took possession of his lege, and trotted wi th him as quickly as possible into an open and respectable thor- oughfare, There they left him on the pave- ment, and hurried back to divide their spoils. It wee not often at that hour in the morning that they found such an easy prey as Smith. In the meantime i,hie poor Soldier of For- tune lay with his lice turned up to the sky and a bad out [wrots8 his brow. The rough pebple had nearly murdered him as well as robbed him. He was found by the next policeman, who speedily raised the alarm and had him conveyed to the nearest hospi. tal. In the hospital John Smith was carefully ttended, and all that was possible done for is restoration, but he was suffering from severe form of concussion of the brain, nd could not remember anything. Having o papers about him of any sort, it was im- o-sible to prove his identity, or to let his iends know where he was. When he Was ked his name he was able to say, 'John mith,' but as such a title simply signified1 othing at all as far as identity was thconcern- il , the people at e Priory, and Daint ee, alting anxiously for his arrival at his ofce, new nothing about hirn.

Daintree waited in his office. with what patience he could. Basil Daintree was not by nature a patient man, and ;affairs were sufficiently anxious with him just now to make him feel even more irritable than us- ual. This was the twentieth of August. In the second week of September the first number of 'The Eagle' was to make its ap- pearance. It had been advertised for this date, and already placards were appearing on the different street hoardings, and large posters were put up at the railway stations announcing the great new weekly which was to take the world by storm. Para- graphs had appeared in the leading journals with regard to the new paper. They were the sort of paragraphs which would be sure to whet curiously and excite great interest. In short, the reading public were on the tiptoe of expectatiOn, and orders were pour- ing in daily for the first number of the pa- per. Daintree had more advertisements offered to him than he could well manage to accept, and his rosy dreams were likely to be fulfilled. . All had gone well until the crushing news reached the future journalist that the great serial on -whieliall his hopes hung was to to fail him. The author's brain had given way at the critical moment—he was suffer- ing from brain exhaustion ; and when that is the case the position of affairs is truly hopelesia• There were no further draws to be made on the great i).athor's mind. He was for the time in a ,00mplete state of mental bankruptcy. He must he fallow for a lengthened period if ideas worth reading were ever to be produced by him again. What, then, was Daintree to do? If Smith came to his rescue all woeld yet be well— DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS, the only positive, never -failing cure, on earth, for all Kidney diseases. Take No Other. Oet um Genuine.

This, 'as the reader knows, was situated ebout five miles from the Priory. It was dusk on this summer's -evening, when tired with her journey the good lady found herself on the platform. She looked round her anxiously, and seeing a sleepy porter asked him if he could procure her a fly to take her to the Priory. ' Eh,' he answered 'sleepily. 'There ain't no flies about. Maybe they'll send a trap round.' Miss Preetyman could :scarcely take in the full horror of her present position— alone, with eight coming on in this little wayside station with five miles *0 *elk. Sbe knew she had not strengt to -Walk eeen a quarter of a mile. What was to be done ? In the mi st of her rdisteess she was startled by a sharp voice soutiding in her ears, and •loo ing round she sriw Mrs. Vin- cent standin by her side. ' Ha, ha, my love,' said that} good lady.

I know a lady whose house must be kept so immaculately clean that dusters are laid along the foot of every door to pee - vent the least speck of dirt from entering, and whose hu band must take off hie muddy boots before hb enters one of the , rooms. She is always ...leaning, always 1iding, Al- ways harrassed, and seldom looks I happy. No wonder. Her mind is ever intent upon preserving th perfect "apple-piettess" Of her house, and she has no time to spare on the joye and 'beauties of the world. This lady's children are as perfectly clean and tidy as her hoarse, but they have an, unnat- tural, repressed look, as if they have never known the real joys of careless, happy child- hood. Their hope is ia it way perfeet, but it never can be a home in a real Erman' of the word.

The Highland Brigade occupied a sandy strip close to the bank of the river where the native8 said nothing would grow but stunted bushes and coarse desert grass.

If the tissues are not nourished, they are pulled down by the wasting process, and, as a result, eleepleseness ensues. On a full stotnach, however, or with some food to sus- tain, the system, there is a building up of the tissue.
