CHAPTER XXII. .
Forget That I Loved You.
"The night for dreaming, but tin
morn for seeing." ' And 'so Renal
found it, for with the cold, calm ligh
of the morning, he found himself fac
ing his battle with small sense of vic
tory in his blood. He knew he had
to deal that morning, with the .eriai
a his life. Upon. the issue his whole
figure. wobld turn, but his 'heart with
out haste or pauseepreserved it.s even

passed. Iie saw his way and he meant
to. walk it. What was beyond the
turn. was hid from his eyes but with
that he need not concern himself now
Meantime he would clear away some
of jnthis accumulated correspondence
lying on his desk. , In the midst of his
work Harry mine in and laid a bundle
of bills before him_
"Here you are old chap" he said
quietly. "That's the last of - it."
Ranaid counted the money.
"You are sure you can spare all
this? There is sio hurry you know.'
"No" said Harry "I can't spare it;
but it's safer with you than with me,
and besides, it'i yours. And I owe
you more than money." He drew, a
deep breath to steady hiznselfe and
then went; on: "And I want to say,
Ranald, that I have bet my last stake."
Ranald pushed hack his chair and
rose to hie feet.
"Now that's the best thing I've
heard for some time," he said, offer-
ing Harry his hand, and that's the
last of that business." •
' He sat down, dretv in his chair, and
turning over his papers with a -oer-
vousness that he rarely showed, he
continued: "And Harry, I want you
to' do something for me. Before you
go home this afternoon, will you come
in here? I may want to send a note
to Maimie by you." •
"But," began Harry.
"Wait a moment. I want to pre -

down upon the map.

heartily. "You must really go up

- "Wall, does that mean six or eight
or ten miles of a haul?"
"On the -west side," replied Ranald,
"no. There are a number of small
streams and lakes which you could
utilize."
"And on the east side?"
"You see, Colonel," broke in Mr.
St. Clair, "that whole country is one
net -work of water -ways. Notiee the
mait here; -and there are always a
number or akes not marked."
"That is quiet true," said Ranald,
"as a rule, but on the east side—"
"Oh, of course," said Mr. St. Clair
hastily "you will find great differences
in .difierent partsi of the country."
Mr. See Clair folded up ,the map
and threw it on the table.
"Let's see," said the colonel, taking
up' the map again. "Now how about
the lcainpe, Mr. Macdonald, where do
you. locate them?"
"I have a rough draught here iin
which the bases for camps are indi-
cated," said Ronald, ignoring the im-
ploring and angry looks of his chief.
"Let's, have a look at them," said
the colonel.
"Oh, you haven't Shown me this,"
said Mr. St. Clair, taking the draught
froni Ranald.
"No, sir, you have not seen my final
reportet
"No, not yet, of course. We have
hardly had time yet, Colonel, but Mr.
Macdonald will make a copy of this
for you and send it in a day or two."
replied Mr. St. Clair, folding up. the
sketch, nervously, and placing it on
his desk. The colonel quietly picked
upthe sketch and opened it out.
"You have got that last report of
yours, I suppose." he said, with a
swift glance at Mr. St. Clair. That
gentleman's face was ponied and
damp; his whole fortune hung on
Ranald's reply. It was to him a mo-
ment of agony.
Ronald glanced at' his face, and
paused. Then, drawing his lips ' a
little tighter, he said: "Colonel
Thorp, my final report has not yet
been handed in. Mr. St. Clair has
not seen it. In m.y judgment--" here
Mr. St. Clair leaned his hand heed
ubon his desk— "you are getting full
value,- for your money, but I would
suggest that you go yourself or send
your inspector to explore the limits
carefully before you complete the
deal."
Colonel Thorp, who had been care-
fully scanning the sketch in his hand,
suddenly turned and looked Ronald
steadily in the eye. "These marks on
the -west side means camps ?,"
.
"There are very few; on the east
side?"
"There are very few; the east side
is inferior to the west."
"Much?"
"Yes, :much inferior."
"But in your 'opinion- the limit is
worth the figure?
"I would undertake to make money
out of it; it is good value."
The colonel chewed hard for a min-
ute,' then turning to Mr. St. Clair,
he said: `Wall, Mr. St. Clair, 111

"I hope not," said Ronald, lowering

HEART WAS BAD -
WOULD WAKEN UP
IN DISTRESS.
There is nothing that brings with it
such fear of impending death as to wake
up in the night with the heart pounding
and thumping. This uncertain and ir-
regular heart action causes the greatest
distress of both mind and body. s
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pins
strengthen and invigorate the heart, so
that it beats strong and regular, and
tone up the nervous system so that the
cause of so much anxiety becomes a
thing of thepast.
Mr. Archie Beaumont, Edgett's Land-
ing, N.B., writes:—"Have been bothered
with my heart and nerves for about six
years, eause.d by ovehwokk and worry.
My heart was so bad I would waken up
eeveral times during the night in great
distress, and my heart thumping. About

"Was Captain De Lacy there?" in-
quired Mrs. Murray,
"Yes, indeed," cried Maimie, "and
we had a lovely time!" either the
menfory of that evening brought the
warm blushes to her faee, or it may
be the thought of what she was about
to tell her aunt; "and Captain De
Lacy is coming to -morrow."
"Coming to -morrow?"
"Yes, he has written to Aunt Frank
and to papa as well."
Mrs. Murray sat silent, appithently
not knowing what to say, and Maimie
stood with the dress in her hands wait-
ing for her aunt to speak. At length
Mrs. Murray- said: "You knew Captain
De Lacy before I think." e -
"Oh, I have known him for a long
time, and he's just spelndid, auntie,

"Do you mean he is going to speak
to your father about you, Mobile?" .
Mairnie nodded. "And are you glad?"
' "He's very handsoroe, auntie, -and
