THE PLOT THICKENS. ” It looks formidable," said Mra. L'Est• range, "perhaps you ' had batter read it with me." Nora came behind her step- mother and read as follows : " Dear Mrs. L'Estrange,—I a dress my: self to you rather than Nora, becauee I naturally consider you the more responsible of the two for the present disas roue state of affairs. : "1 can scarcely say how dOeply hurt, and, I may say exasperated, 1 fe 1 by your, and Nora's, want of oonBid�ratioria,nd- good faith toward both Clifford a d myself. You especially were fully aware (at least I made no effoin to conceal it) of mily wish that. Clifford should marry Mrs, luthven, a women whom I like personally, nd whoae fortune was of the last importa;ce to my brother. He, too—so far as I ould see— was pleased with the idea, and quite suffi• Mealy attached to the lady to make things smooth and feasible. With this admirable arrangement Nora ohose, for the indulgence of idle vanity in the first plaoe, I believe; to interfere, by getting up a feolish flirt. ation with her cousin, and drawing him on In the most deliberate manner, and with your knowledge, till my brother the moot reckless of men—was fully oomnjiitted, and is now unable to extricate him elf. Had Nora any true sense of honor anc4 duty, she would have checked Clifford, have commit - ed me, have done anything rathe than drag us all into a position of such dif oulty and disgrace, for I see that Mrs. Rut ven is de- termined to take some steps, which will, no doubt, cover U8 with confusion. , • "'I shall only add, that if yoi. and Alan L'Estrange think for a moment her uniou with Clifford IVIaraden will scour her hap- piness, you are profoundly mist ken.

"She l'ttle knows the true state of the case." " It is very cruel and unjust," aid Nora, in low, unsteady tones. " It is to bad to, be accused of dishonorable schemi g to win a man from whom I would give t e world to be free." . " My dear Nora, de not allow your anger against Lady Dorrington to mak s you use - just to peer Clifford," exclaimed ire. L'Est. range, startled by the suppressed •anion in her voioe.

C APTER XIV. DETECTION. Despite his �o.1 indifference te the opin- ions and interes s of others,- Marsden felt that he should e as well pleas d that his interview with I re. Ruthven wft a over. It is true that she seemed a mere frivolous, .fanciful trifler, uch taken up wiith the out- side of things ; int instinct,ratht r than any deliberate thou ht, impressed hi n with the conviction that eneath her pret y draperies was a heart of tee', which wlould never , melt, though yo might strike flee from it and an iron will, tenacious to canry out he purposes, great r small. He hlnew bette than any one els: that, a short Arne ago, h had only to ask nd he would halve been ac oepted ; and, hinking that inob migh have been his de tiny, he had doa e his bee to prepare and smooth the wey. From this, his suprem good luck had delivere him. Evers ii he had not fallen headlong in lov with Nolla L'Esteange, there waii much in Mrs. Ruthven which dimly displeased him She was barefullt well-bred, yet her man ners hadinot the indescribable eane or grac of one bdrn in- the purple, there was a under -tone of animalism in her tastes and looks ; moreover he shrewdly suspected that fidelity to a husband would be with her very much a mather of accident, though he did her the justiee to believe that she would always keep up appearances. In fact, she wee an admirably composed morsel of Paris paste, excellently set and pleasant to the fete, until placed beside a brilliant of the pitrest water, like Nora. However, the visit had to be paid, so Marsden made a careful toilet, and set out to keep his appointment. It was some tithe since they had met, in- eed, since thole encounter in Paris the previous spring, ehey had not been so long apart. Mrs. Ruthven Was fully dressed in black silk and velvet,: with a handkerchief of creamy lace knotted round her nick, and a dainty cap of the same on her thick, short hair. Her costume seemed to indieate that the business in hand was ttoo serions for the easy negligence of a mornieg gown. Marsden thought her looking better than he had ever seen her before. The debility and languor of , slow convalescience had spiritualized her expression, and given more refinement to her movements, He could even understand how some men might think e her charming, a charming toy. Where was something unusual too, in the *neatness with which she looked into his eyes, some- thing pained and reproachful in tae expres- , sion of her own. "3 hope she is rot going to midpb a scene," thought Marsden, as he greeted her cori- ally. : • 1 "You are very good, for an unpunctual man, to be so puacItual," she said 1 grecious- ly, but gravely. ! "3 was eager to see with my :own eyes how you were progressing," he i returned, smiling sweetly up n her. ". You know you were cruel enough to reject my rayer for an interview -at Chedworth." a feeicinati4 sinner. I had a filmy for you id one One myeelf." And she 'glanced gutokly at Ihim, a glance fiery enough, half admiration; and half anger. " Is it pOssible ?" cried Marsden with an exaggerated air of regret. "And 'how was 1 such an i lot as not to See it ?" lid "That nconscioueness and modesty for which you are celebrated, no doubt preser- ved you," he returned in a peculiar tone.

Mr. Willi& -Gray, of Newmarket, Tells How Became Hale and Hearty at the Ad tuned Age ef Seventy, After Having Suffered Great Torture from Sciatic and Rheumaksin. From the E press, Newmarket, Mr. Willi m Gray, who is well and fav- orably kno n in the town of Newmarket and vicinity, is rejoicing over hie releese from the pa ne of sciatica and rheumatism through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A reporter • f the Express called upon him for the purpose of obtaining pacticulars of the cure, w en Mr. Graygave the following story for pu lioation :—" About two and a half years a o I was seized with a very se- vere attack of rheumatism. The paia was simply tort ring. At times the trouble was - seated in m knees, then in my hips. For nearly a yea I suffered along, working as beet I could in the hope of being able to overcome th disease. Dering the day the pain was les severe, but at night it was just ae bad as ev r.

Many of the wondrous nucceases and del amine victories of Paine's Celery Compound over disease and death are well known to the people of the seven provinces of our Do. minion. No other medicine ever given to suffering humanity has met with such approval from physicians, from nurses caring for the sick, from men and women of culture and Milt'. ence and from the sensible and thinking people of the toiling class. All unite ia one grand chorus of praise—" Paine's Celery Compound is earth's best and surest spring health -restorer and health -giver." General William W. Henry, American Conrul, in the city of Quebec, writes as fol. lows about Paine's Celery Compound: "It. gives me great pleasure to indorser Paine's Celery Compound, both on account of the result obtained from personal use of the remedy and knowledge of the remarkable cures it has performed. I believe it has no equal in curing diseases of the nervous eye - tem and building up those who are weak and oub of health It has cured several friends of mine of theumatisin in its wont form, and I haVe no hesitancy in recom- mending it to all afflicted with that dieeteeedl He Looked Hungry. William M. Beans, who went to the - United States Senate with the reputation of being as good a lawyer as the State of New York possessed, was an exceedingly slender man. His face, even'when he was in his prime, had a look of emaciation which suggested hunger, and long afterward the Senator used to relate with amusement a comment made upon his appearance soon after hie entrance on his dueies at the Capitol. One day, says Mr. George S. Hilton, in a recent volume, a solid, substantial looking farmer, from the interior . of New York, seated himself in the visitors' gallery in the Senate Chamber, teed asked the door -keeper, standing behind him, to point out Mr. Everts. It was noontime, and only a few member* were in the chamber. Pretty soon Senator Voorhees entered, and strode majestically to his seat. " Is that Everts t" exclaimed the farmer. " No," said the door -keeper, " that is Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana." Another gentlemen with a great deal of presence entered the Senate Chamber, The cld man leaned back and clutched the door. keeper's arm. "That's him 1" lee whispered. " That's the great Mr. Everts, isn't it ?" "No," wa$ the &newer. "That is General Logan." At length/ Mr. Everts came in, and the old farmer was at ;once informed. He look- ed at the distinguished lawyer long and earnestly. " By gum I" said he, with an accent of commiseration. "Pll bet he boards." 1 Now I Feel Real Well, • Mr, W. 11, La Blanc; Bonfield, Ont., write): "I was one a sufferer from catarrh, and while using Dz.

Franklin not only underetood the value of time, but he put a price on it that made others appreeiate its worth. A customer who cense one day to his little bookstore in Philadelphia, not being satisfied with the price demanded by the clerk for the book he wished to purchase, asked for the proprietor, "Mr, Franklin is very usy just now in the pressroom," replied elerk. The man, however, who had already spent an hour aimlessly turning over books, insisted on seeing him. In anewer to the clerk's summone, Mr. Franklin hurried out from the newspaper establishment at the back of the store. "What is the lowest price you can take for this book, sir ?" asked the leisurely cus- tomer holding up the volume. 64 Ono dol- lar and a quarter," was the prompt reply. "A dollar and a quarter 1 Why, your clerk asked me only a dollar just now," "True, said Franklin, " and I could have better af- forded to take a dollar than to leave my work." The man who seemed to be in doubt as to whether lir. Franklin was in earnest, said jokingly : "Well, come now, tell me your lowest price for this book," "One dollar and a half," was the grave reply, " Yes, and I could have better taken that pries then than a dollar and a half now," Without another word, the crestfallen purchaser laid the money on the counter and left the store. He had learned not that he who squanders hie own time is foolish, but that he who wastes the time of others Is a thief. Rheumatic Warped Limbs.

No members bf the insect world present more startling suggestions of intelli- gence and forethought governing their ac- tions. It is not correct, however, to explain the habits and -conduct of ante by human analogies. For instance it was "once sup - poised that the so-called " parasol ants,' living in hot tropical countries, carried little leaves above their heads for the sake of pro. tection from the sun. Later investigations have shown that the ants actually do carry leaves, suspended by the stem which they hold in their jaws, and that columns of them thus furnished with leaves like an army with banners march in regular order; but that the leaves, instead of being intended to shelter the ants from the sunshine, are dee posited by them around their nests to form a soil in which grows a kind of fungus that they are fond of. So the parasol ant is not a dandy, but a farmer. To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets All druggists refund the money if it fails to. cure. 25c. E. W.
