;TWISTING TIM STRANDS,
Lady Dorrington was exoeedingly anxious
that both Mrs. Ruthven and her brother
should visit her at the shooting lodge which
Lord Dorrington rented in Scotland. She
feared the effect of her heavy loss on the
wealthy widow's -mind and she was anxious
that her brothershould not lose his chance.

who urged this object cn, "both her father
and mother were E ropeans ; some far-
away grandfather wa an Indianprince—
that is no dieadvanta ee in my opinion."
But no araount of ,ressing could induce
Mrs. Ruthven to .qu t the murky metro-
polis. She bad heard of -a charming villa on
the river at .Twioken am, and she was an-
xious to purchase it. Thin, and her dread
of the Northern oli ate, compelled her to
refuse her dear Lady 1artington.
Marsden, having ailed twice without
having been adrnitte had not again pre-
sented himself, yet re. Ruthvendid not
find time hang heavil on her hands. She
went more than on e to see her man of
buainees respecting th purchase she wished
to make, for she was ,ceenly interested in
financial matters, and e3ger to get the full
Worth of her money, nd she had along and
exceedingly confide Val interview with
Waite after his retur from•Evesleigh.
At theend of a for night from the date
of the robbery Shirley announced his return,
after, he eaid, having seen his sister start
for the Riviera,. for k Ire. Ruthven had real-
ly been out when he e Iled.
It was a dull but d a morning, and Mrs.
Ruthven was sitting 3n is low chair- beside
the fire,- talking toaite who had been
reading over some me oranda to her.
"1 think have fo med a distinct plan
now," he saideafter a pause, "by which I
hope at least to unra el the plot. I must
dog the suspected c lprit by day and by
night." •
" You must," she r tamed.
"It will be costly,- adame."
"loan not help th t ; Only find out the

'There was another
"You are not an E glishmais ?" said Mrs.
Ruthven, suddenly,
"A naturalized Englishman. My mother
was English."
" And your father?
"A Pole. I resid d both in Germany

" Ieexpect.Captain hirley here immedi-

"Then his ehoUld ziob have _run off to
Ostend when he nigh have been wanted,"
said Waite, grimly. " Time in such mat-
ters is valuable, as I, d re say he knows, and
we have lost a good d al."
"Now, Ur. Waite after you and Cap.
tain Shirley have seen each other, I should
like to test your power of disguising your-

self."
"1 am ready to t
choose, madame."
" Good. I shall rrange for' Captain
Shirley to call on me to -morrow, and you
shall appear in a diffe ent character. Will
you venture so much?'
" Certainly."
It might answer a bther purpose also."
sbe resumed, thought! Ily. "At all events,
you must appear to go abroad."
"That might anew r, though there are
enough hiding places n London to shelter

Here Mrs. Ruthven' -courier brought her
a card.
"Oh ! Captain Shir ey. Yes, I will see
him. Bewith me here a seven thise'evening,"
she said, low and hurr edly. " I will give
you some important dir etions.
Waite bowed as "Captain Shirley " was

"You are very kind! But, at present,

"Captain Shirley," announced a witite
Marsden elevated his eyebrows interro
atively, and Mrs. Ruthven replied with
smile.
"1 beg a thousand pardons," said Shi
ley, a sudden look of annoyance clou
ing hie face, "I thought you were alone."
" I assure you I am very glad to see you,
cried Mrs. Ruthven, gayly. "1 have bee
trying to feed my inexorable trustee, her
into good humor, to get hill consent to m
new purchase. Come and help me; an
pray take some luncheon."
"I have already lunched, thank you." -
"A glass of Burgundy, then? This, I a
sure you, is not to be dispised."
Shirley condescended to take a glass—an
began to thaw.
"Come into the next room," said Mr
Ruthven, leading the way; and, nestling -I
to the corner of a large sofa, she proceede
to coquette with both her visitors.
"Mr. Marsden is going all the way
Amsterdam, on the chance of finding m
poor rubies," she remarked, after a litt
discursive chatter. "Is it not good
him ?"
" We would all go further than Aniste
dam, if we thought we could find them,
said Shirley, gallantly.
" If? Yes, thist isjustit. But it is to
far for a mere chance. By the way, ho
far is Amsterdam from Ostend ?" asked Mr
Ruthven, in a curious mocking tone.
"1 really don't know," returned Shirley
gravely, and looking very straight at he
his face darkening. "Why do you ask ?"
Mrs. Ruthven was saved the difficulty o
anawering, as her courier came in before eh
could reply, and handing a card to his mi
tress asked :
"Will you receive the gentleman, mad
ame ?"
"Oh, yes show him up." Then, with
little confidential nod to Shirley, she ad
ded :
"This is my engineer 1"
"He hats lost no time," he returned.
"1 shall not let him stay long. I wi
tell you all about him afterward "—t
Marsden.
Shirley looked sharply at the door; bu
Marsden seemed too much occupied wit
his own thoughts to heed what was going
on.
In a few minutes a middle aged man, o
average height, with iron -gray muutach
and whiskers, his right arm in a sling, cam
into the room, and made a deferential
though clumsy, bow,
"Good -morning, Mr. Colville," said Mrs
Ruthven, who had risen, and was standin
beside a table near one of the windows
"You have lost no time in answering m
note."
" I was anxious to thank you for you
kindneas in writing," he returned, in a low
hoarse voice.
"And how is your little girl ?" returne
Mrs. Ruthven. "Let me see, she muet b
nearly eight ?"
" No, ma'am, she is nearly seven, an
looks leas. She is a delicate, weakly littl
creature, that's why I am anxious to kee
her away in the country."
" Very naturally. I am sorry I can no

"But if yousvill cell to -morrow, I can giv

" I shall be punctual, and I thank you.'
1" Wait fora moment," said Mrs. Ruth
yen. "1 have a little gift here for rny god
daughter." She went to her writing table

with ribbon, which she placed in his hands.
"Von are very good, madame," he said,
st with another clumsy bow and a look at
'ch gentleman, he left the room.
"Do you not remember hic*at all ?" asked
Mrs. Ruthven.
" No," returned Shirley. "I never saw
hftn before, end I can not say he looks the
ort of man I phould be inclined to trust."
1" You are too suspicious. The poor fel-
oW has been unlucky. his arm was broken
n some machinery, and he is out of work."
r I have a fellow feeling with the un -
utility," said Marsden, rousing himself. "1
ave not had much good luck myself."
f' Why, you seam to me a remarkably
uelcy man," said Shirley.
4' By the way, Captain Shirley," began
re. Ruthven, in a languid tone. "1 hope
ou will excuse me for breaking my engage.
ent ;'but my head is quite too bad to drive
own to Twickenham. It would not be

"Pray do pot , dream of incommoding

"How °rose he is," said Mrs. Ruthven,
the door cloised to him.
" Yee, poor devil," returned Marsden,

relessly, yeu treat him rather badly."
"Why does he court bad treatment? I
n't want hiM to come here."
"There is a Strong dash of cruelty in you,
arming though you are.".
"Do you think so ?" looking down, and
eaking softly. " Yes, I am capable . of
king my revenge, believe me," her lips
ivered as she spoke.

MERIT AND WORTH
ARE EVER RECOGNIZED BY AN
n INTELLIGENT PUBLIC,
Deceptions and Frauds Find the
Fate They Deserve.
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
STILT, ON THE HIGHEST ROUND OF THE
LADDER OF FAME.
Genuine merit and worth must be the
strong and leading characteristics of a
medicine in -order to make it a chosen home
friend.
Speculators and imitators may, for a brief
time, create a demand for their deceptive
pille and liquid preparations by freely using
newSpaper space, but unerring human ex-
perienee soon pronounces the judgment—
" tried and found wanting." The year just
closed has marked the death of many worth-
less and deceptive medicines which, for a
time robbed the sick and afflicted ones of
money and aggravated their burden of mis-
ery.]
Paine's. Celery Compound, has, in the
past year, added thousands of victories to
its eetablished record as a disease -banisher
and health -giver.
.Dslny of the eures effected by Paine's Cel-
ery tJomponnd have been so marvellous and
striking that able and prominent physicians
have, without hesitation, openly praised
and ecommended the life saver.
No other medicine in the world has ever
been accorded such growing praise by medi-
cal men, people of affluence and the toilers
of our country. Paine's Celery Compound
has never yet disappointed sick and suffer-
ing Men and women. In every case where
fairly; used, it has accomplished its work of
banishing sickness and giving a new lease
of lifer
If disease is wasting your system, if you
are weak or nerve tired, unfitted for busi-
ness or tbe daily work of life, be assured
Paine's Celery Compound will bestow nerve
energy, strength and health—the blessings
you are longing for. Test the virtues of one
bottle and be convinced.
Men Who Never Marry.
"There was never yet a bachelor of forty
whose heart has not been at tame woman's
feet to take or leave as she would," says a
well-known writer, and this, generally
speaking, is absolutely true.
Altheugh there is one type of man, a very
rare one fortunately, who, from a mixture
of cold love of self and miserliness, rigldly
eschewmatrimony.
Of such a one the story is told that, being
on one occasion somewhat impressed by the
bright eyes and red lips of a certain darned,
he gave some thought to the married state, ,
and pondered over the advisability of enter-
ingit.
Racked with doubt, he ordered a large
meat pie to be prepared, and on its appear.
&nee divided it in half—there was ample !
Then the reflection crossed his mind that in
soaoruree of time a sub -division might be neces-
y.
The Portions were divided by a trembling
hand into two. He looked, hesitated—and
scraped them all on his own plate.
The damsel had to find another lover !
Men Who regard marriage as "an insane
desire to provide for another fellow's daugh-
ter," or the picturesque gateway to a
commonplace estate," are far better unmar-
ried. The temporary devotion of their lit-
tle souli would make no woman any hap-
pier.
