"Do you remember," said John at last, "a night six years ago when we stood together, at the end of the voyage, leaning over the rail like this?" "Yes," she said. I "Does this remind you of it?" he asked. "I was thinking of it," she said. "Do you remember the last night I was at your house?" h e asked, looking straight out over hemoonlit i im i water. "Yes," she said again. "Did you know that night what I was in my heart to say to you?" There was no answer. "May I tell you noW ?" he asked, giving a side glance at her profile, which in the moonlight showed very white. "Do you think you ought?" she answered in a low voice, -"or that I ought to listen to you?" "I know," he exclaimed. "You orreammomommiumengr. Catarrh of the Stomach is Dangerous "Thousands Have It and Don't Know It," Says Physician. Frequently Mistaken for Indigestion -How to 'Recognize and Treat. "Thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from furred, coated tongue, bad breath, sour burning stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in stomach, bitter eructations, gas, wind and stomach acidity and cell it indigestion when in reality their Trou- ble is due to gastric catarrh of the stomach," writes a New York physi- cian. Catarrh of the stomach is danger- ous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the sur- face so that the digestive fluids can- not mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds deadly disease in the fermented, vn- assimilated food. The blood is pol- luted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric ulcers - are apt to form and frequently( an ulcer is the first sign of a deadly cancer. In catarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia in half a glass of bot water as hcit as you can comfortably drink it. The hot water washes the: mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisurated magensia is an excel- lent solvent for mucus and increases the efficiency of the hot water treat- ment. Moreover the Bisurated Mag- nesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutra- lize any excess hydrochloric acid that may be in your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural di- gestion without distress of any kind should soon follow. Bisurated Mag- nesia is not a laxative, is harmless pleasant and easy to take and can be obtained from_ any local druggist. Don't confuse Bisurated Magnesia with other forms of magnesia, milks, citrates, etc., but get it in the pure bisurated form (powder or tablets), especially prepared for this purpose.

If it were to ask anything of you I would not. It is for the first and last time. To -morrow we part again, and, for all time, I suppose.

"You must not ga on, Mr. Lenox," she said, turning -to him, "and I must leave you." "Are you very angry with me?" he asked humbly. She turned her face to the' sea again and gave °a isad, little laugh.' "Not so much as I ought to be," she answered; "but you yourself have given the reason why you should not say such thiigs, and why I should not listen, and -why I ought to ,say good -night." "AN, yes," he said bitterlyes"of course you are right, and this is to be the end." She turned and ,looked at him for a moment "You will never again speak. to eme as you have to -night, will you?" he asked. "I should not have said what I did had I not thought I should never see you again after to -morrow," said John, "and I am not likely to do that,' am I?" "If I could be stfre," she said hes- itatingly, and as if to herself. "Well," said John eagerly. She stood with her eyes downcast for a moment, -one hand resting on the rail, and then she looked up. _ "We expect to stay in Algiers about two months'she said, "and then we are going to Naples to visit some friends for a few days, about the time you told me you thought would be better if we said good-bye to -night; but if after we get home you are to spend your days in Home- ville and I mine in New York, we shall not be likely to meet, and, ex- cept on this side of the ocean, we may, as you say, never see each other again. So, if you wish, you may come to see me in Naples if you happen to be there when we are. I am sure after to -night that I may trust you, may .I not? But," she added, "per- haps you would not care. I am treat- ing you very frankly; butfrom your standpoint you would expect or ex- cuse more frankness than if I were 'a young girl."' "I care very much," he declared, "tend it will be a happiness to me to- see you any footing, and you may trust me never to break bounds again." She made a motion as if to depart. "Don't go just yet," he said plead- iny; "there is no reason why you should for a while, is there? Let us sit here in this goregous night a little longer, and let me smoke a cigar." At the moment /he was undergoing a revulsion of feeling. His state of mind was like that of an improvident debtor who, while knowing that the note must be paid some time, does not quite realize it for.. a. while after an extension. At last the cigar was finished. There had been but- little ,said between :them. "I really must *go," she said, and he walked with her across the hang- ing bridge and down the deck to the gangway door. "Where shall I address you to let you know when we shall be in Naples?" she asked as they were a, bout to separate. "Care of Cook & . Son," he said. "You will find the address in Baedeker." He saw her the next morning long enough for a touch of the hand and a good-bye before the bobbing, tubby little boat with, its Arab crew took the Ruggleses on board. CHAPTER XLVII How John Lenox tried to kill time during the following two months, and how time retaliated during the pro- cess, it is needless to set forth. It may not however be wholly irrele- vant to note that his cough had gradually disappeared,- and that his appetite had become good enough to carry him through the average table d'hote dinner. On the morning tif:, ter -his arrival at Naples he found a cable dispatch at the office of Cook & Son, as follows: "Sixty cash, forty stock. -Stock good. Harum." "God bless the dear old boy!" said John fervently. The Pennsylvania property was sold at last; . and if "stock gooa" was true, the dispatch informed him that he was, if not a rich man for modern days, still, as -David would have 'put it, '.'wuth con- sid'able." No man, I take it, is very likely to receive such a piece of news without satisfaction; • but if our friend's first sensation was one of gratification, the thought which fol- lowed had a drop of bitterness in it. "If I could only have had it before!" he said to himself; and indeed many of the disappointments of life, - if not the greater part, come because events are unpunctual. They have a way of arriving sometimes toe. early, or worse, too late. Another circumstance detracted • from his satisfaction: a note he ex- pected did not appear among the other communications waiting him at the bankers, and his mind was occupied for the while with Various conjec- tures as to the reason, none of which was satisfactory. Perhaps she had changed her mind. Perhaps -a score of ' things! Well, there was nothing for it but to be as patient as possible and await events. He remembered that she had said she was to visit some friends by the name- of Hartleigh and she had told him the name of their villa, but for the moment he. did not remember it. In any case he did not know the Hartleighs, and if she had changed her mind—as was possibly indicated by the omission to send him word-L-well—i He shrug- Ved his shoulders, mechanically light- ed a cigarette, and strolled down and out of the Piazza Martiti and across to the Largo della Vittoria. He had a half-ferined idea of _walking back through the Villa Nazionale, spend- ing an hour at the Aquarium, and then to his hotel for bincheon. occurred to him at the moment that THE HURON EXPOSITOR SUFFERED DAY AND NIGHT The Tortures of Dyspepsia Relieved By "filitialver Lunn Bass Dion, C.

At all dealers or sent postpaid by Fruit-a-tives Limited, Ottawa. there was a steamer from Genoa on the Monday ' following, that he was tired of wandering about aimlessly and alone, and that there was really no reason why he should not fake the said steamer and go home. Oc- cupied with these reflections, he ab- sently observed, just opposite to him across the way, a Pair of large bay horses in front of a handsome landau. A coachman in livery was on the box and a small footman, very Much coat- ed' and silk -hatted, was standing about; and, as he looked, two ladies came out of the arched entrance to the court of the building before which the equipage was halted, and the small footman sprang to the carriage door. • One of the ladies was a stranger to him, but the other was Mrs. Wil- liam Ruggles; and John, seeing that he had been recognized, at oncecross- ed over to the carriage.'and presently having accepted an invitation to break- fast, found himself sitting opposite them on his way to the Villa Violante. The conversation during the drive -up to the Vomero need not be detailed. Mrs. Hartleigh arrived at the opinion that our friend was rather a dull per- son. Mrs. Ruggles, as he had found out, was usually rather taciturn. Neither is it necessary to say very much of • the breakfast, nor of the people assembled. It appeared that several guests had departed the previous day, and the people at table consisted only of Me7and Mrs. Ruggles, Mary, Mr. and Mrs. Hartleigh and their two daugh- ters,. and John whose conversation was mostly with his host, and was rather deultory. In fact, there was (luring the meal S. perceptible air of something like disquietude. Mr. Ruggles in particular 'said alniost nothing," arid Wore an itppearanee of what seethed like anxiety. Once he turned tehis host: "When ought to get an answer to that cable, Hart- leigh? to -day, do you think?" "Yes, 1 should say so without doubt," was the reply, "if it's answer- ed promptly, avd in fact there's plenty of time. Remember that we are a- bout six hours earlier than Neis- York by the clock, and it's only about seven in the morning over there." Coffee was served on the balustrad- ed platform of the flight of marble steps leading down to the grounds beldw. "Mary," said Mrs. Hartleigh, when cigarettes had been offered, "don't you want to show Mr. Lenox some- thing of La Violante?", • "I shall take you to my favorite place," she said, as they descended the steps together. The southern front of the grounds of the Villa Violante is bounded and upheld by a wall of tufa fifty feet in height and some four hundred feet Jong. About midway of its length a sernicircular bench of marble, with a rail, is built -out over one of the buttresses. From this -point is vis- ible the whole bay and harbor of Naples, and about one third of the city lies in sight,five hundred feet below. To the left one sees Vesuvius and the Sant' Angelo chain, which the PAINS SO BAD STAYED IN BED Young Mrs. Beecroft, Had Miserable Time Until She Took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Abso- lute quiet prevailed where they stood save for these upcoming sounds. The April sun, deliciously -warm, drew a smoky odor from the hedge of box With which the parapet walk was bordered, in and out of which darted small green, lizards with the quick- ness of little fishes, John drew a long breath. "I don't believe there is another such view in the world," he said. "I do • not wonder that this is your favorite spot." "Yes," she said, "you should see the grounds -the ,whole place is superb -but this is the glory of it all, and I have brought you straight here because I wanted to see it with you and. this May be the only oppor- tunity. "What do you mean?" he fated apprehensively. "You heard Mr. Ruggles's question about the cable dipatch?" she said. ayes!, "Well," she said, "our plans have been very much upset by soine things he has heard from home. We came on from Algiers ten days earlier than we had intended, and if the re- ply to Mr. Ruggles's cable is unfav- orable, we are likely to depart for Geno to -morrow and take the steam- er for home on Monday. The reason why I did not send a note to your bankers," she added, "was that we came on the same boat that I intnd- ed to write by; and Mr. Hartleigh's man has inquired for you every day at Cook's so that Mr. Hartleigh might know of your coming and call upon you." John gave a little exclamation of dismay. Her face was very still as she gazed out over the sea with half- closed eyes. He caught the scent of the violets in the bosom of her white dress. "Let us sit down," she Said at last, "I have something I - wish to say to you. He made no rejoinder as they seat- ed themselves, and during- the mom- ent or two of silence in which she seemed to be meditating how to be-, en, he sat bending forward, holding his stick with both hands between his knees, absently prodding holes in the gravel. "I think," she began, "that if I did, not believe the chances were for our going to -morrow, I would not say it to -day." John bit his lip and gave the gravel a more vigorous punch. "But 1 have felt that I must say it to you some time before we saw the last cif each other, whenever that time should be."

"When we met on the steamer and I saw the error you had made I was tempted -and yielded -4o let you go on uncorrected. But," she added, looking lovingly up into John's eyes, "I'm glad you found out your nlilf- i take at last." CHAPTER XLVIII A fortnight later Mr. Harum sat at his desk in the office of Harum & Co. There were a number of letters for him, but the one he opened first bore a foreign stamp, and was post- marked "Napoli." That he was deep- ly interested in the contents of this epistle was manifest from the be- ginning, 33.0t only from the expression of his face, but from the frequent "wa'al, wa'als" which. were elicited as he went, on; but interest grew into excitement as he neared the close, and cuhninated as he read the last few lines. "Scat my CATS!" he cried, and, grabbing his hat and the letter, he .bolted out of the back door in the direction of the house, leaving the rest of his correspondence to be di- gested -any time. EPILOGUE '.3 might, in conclusion, tell how John's further life in Homeville was of comparatively short duration- how David died of injuries received in a runaway accident; how John found himself the sole executor of his late partner's estate, and, save for a life provision far Mrs. Bixbee, the only legatee, and rich enough (if indeed •with his own and his wife's money he had not been, so before) to live where - ever he pleased. But as heretofore haVe confined myself strictly to facts, I am, to be consisent, con- strained to abide by them tow-. In- deed, I am too conscientious to do otherwise, notwithstanding the temp- tation to make what might be a more artistic ending to my story. David is not only living, but appears almost no older than when we first knew him and is still- just as likely to "git go - in" on occasion. Even "old Jimiy" is still with no, though her master does most of his "joggiii"round" be- hind a younger horse. Whatever Mr. Harum's testamentary intentions may be, or even whether he has made a will or not, nobody knows but himself and his attorney. Aunt Polly -well, there is a little more of her than when we first made her acquaintance, say tWenty pounds. John' and his wife live in a house which they built an the shore of the lake. It is a settled thing that David and his sister dine with them every Sunday. Mrs. Bixbee at first looked a little askance at the wine on the table, but she does not object to it now. Being a "son 0' teinp'rence," she has never been induced to taste any champagne, but on one occasion she was persuaded to take the small- est sip of claret. "Wa'al," she re- marked with a wry face, "I guess OW can't be much sin or danger 'n drink - i' anythin"t tastes the way that des." She and Mrs. Lenox took to, each other from the first, and the latter has 1 quite supplanted (and more) Miss Claricy (Mrs. Elton) with David. In fact, he said to opr friend one day during the first year of the marriage, "Say, John, I ain't' sure but What we'll have to hitch that wife o' your'n on the off side." 7 I had nearly forgotten one person whose conversation has yet to be -re cordd in print, but which is &raider. o very interesting by at least four people.

Whether 1 _ought to have said what I did or not, it was true, and I wanted you to know—" He broke off as she turned to him with a smile and a blush. The simile was almost a laugh. "But John;" she said, "I am not Mrs. Edward Ruggles. I am Mary Blake." The parapet was fifty feet above the terrace. The hedge of box was an impervious screei. f Well, and then, fter a little of that sort of thing, they both began hurriediy to admire the view again, for some one was coming.But it was only one of the 'gardeners who did not understand English; and con- fidence being once more restored, they fell to discussing --everything. "Do you think you could live in Homeville, dear?" asked John after awhile. "I suppose I shall have to, shall I not?" said Mary. "And are you, too, really happy, John?" John instantly proved to her that he was. "But it almost makes me unhappy," he added, "to think how nearly we have missed each other. If I had only known in the beginning that you were not Mrs. Edward Rug-.. gles !" Mary laughed joyously. The mis- take which a moment before had seemed almost tragic now appeared delightfully funny.
