CHAPThl VII. ;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. She emild not understencl why Clifford did not strike home and Win the prize: The keen worldly woman had a very soft spot in her heart for the brot er who so often ang- ered her.

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 truth." , 'There was another "You are not an E glishmais ?" said Mrs. Ruthven, suddenly, "A naturalized Englishman.

" Ieexpect.Captain hirley here immedi- ately; We must deal autiously with him," Mrs. Ruthven resu "He is very shrewd and auspicious, and will, I know, disapprove of my appl ing to you without. his interpostion." "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- - bmit to any tet you ause. self." "1 am ready to t choose, madame." " Good.

"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.

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.

She went to her writing table rid took from a drawer a small packet tied 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.

"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.

(To be Continued.) 4 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. • A Deep Mystery. It is e mystery why women endure Back- ache, Headache, Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Melancholy, Fainting and Dizzy Spells.when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles.
