It had grown to be very dark with- out, and night was creeping on apace with its star -gemmed canopy of blu- ish -black. Perhaps the deep foliage that waved over the earth made it look darker than it really was; but at all events, it was so dark that one could have found little difficulty in hiding from `very close pursuers. The girls had leaned back upon their couch and were half buried in dreamy forgetfulness, when they were both startled by a low clattering near the window of the closet that overlooked the garden. Instantly they started up, and without speaking, they breathlessly harkened to see if the sound would be repeated. It was repeated, and with tremulous fem. Marina caught her companion by the arm and exclaimed: "It is some one entering our apar talent!. " "Perhaps not," returned Esther, Who was herself slightly alarmed. "It may be—" She did not finish her sentence, for at that moment the sound was re- peated with increased violence, and shrinking back nearer to the door that led out into the inner corridor, they stood in trembling anxiety. They had left the door of the closet open, so as to admit of fresh air, and they could plainly see the whole of the window beyond. Not long had they stood thus, when Marina was confident she saw a dark object intrude itself between the open space of the window and the foliage be- yond; and grasping Esther more firmly by the arm, she said: "Come, let us flee from here." "No -no," quickly returned Es- ther. "If it is one who intends to visit us, Let him come; and then, if he meditates harm, we can easily arouse sufficient help, for there are slaves near at hand in the adjoining apartments. If he, or whoever it be, seeks to carry us back to Tyre, we will go. Remember the assurance I have given thee." Marina remained more calmly in ' her place, and gradually the dark figure rose above the coping, and stood revealed in the window. There were lights burning in the apartment ' but the stranger was shrouded in a large mantle, and nothing of his face could be seen. He took a step into the closet, and then stopping, he threw the mantle slightly oh his head and placed his fingers to his lips. " 'Slat" issued from his tongue."Is the daughter of Kison Ludim here?" Marina trembled more violently than before, but Esther quickly an- swered; "She is." "Then step this way -farther from the walls that join the other apart- ment," whispered the unknown." "But who are you?" "One who would befriend you." "How?" "With liberty." "And to whom would you deliver us?" asked Marina, now speaking for the first time. The unknown hesitated a moment, and the girls thought he trembled with emotion. "I said you should have liberty," he at length return. "Will not that satisfy you, Marina?" The fair girl started forward a step and stopped. That voice thril- led to her very soul, and she thought she knew its tones. "Who are you? Speak'!" she ex- claimed, half leaning forward. The unknown threw his eyes about him with a quick, searching glance, and then he let the mantle fall from his shoulders. The soft light of the golden lamps fell upon the aged fea- tures of Eason Ludim. With a stifled cry Marina darted forward, and found a warm home within her father's embrace. ''Not dead -not dead!" she mur- FEVER'S VICTIMS. • THE ILTTER EFFECTS OFTEN WORSE THAN THE DICE_ISE ITSELF.

"No -no, my child, but a captive, like your self," returned he, as he pressed his daughter once more to his bosom. "Oh, I thought you were drowned." "Ha! and did the king so give it out?" "Yes. Ho said you accidentally fell overboard." "Oh, the villain!" "But how is it, father? What is this? Did the king dare to sell you into slavery'?" "No, my child," returned the old man, while his features were harrow- ed by a painful look; "he sold me to my death. After I had refused him your hand for the prince, he engaged me in the pretended embassy to Sid- on, but. he had in reality given or - dere for nie to bo thrown overboard as soon as we were out of sight of land. The captain of the vessel would have surely done the fatal deed but he chanced to fall in with • Cyprian corsair; and in the height of his cupidity, he sold me for a hun- dred ounces of silver, I was exposed in the inarket at Tarsus, and Beta Saul bought me for an under -super- intendent. I have not told my rank nor does he know from whence I came. I saw you when you were brought hither, and though your veil was down, yet I felt sure that it was you. This morning I watched you from the myrtles, and this afternoon I followed you through the garden. I saw you plainly, and I even felt a thrill of joy for I knew you were not in the clutches of Mapen. I did not dare that you should see me, for fear that the surprise would cause you to expose me." "And shall we escape from here, father?" "Yes, or die. But we have not much to fear, for 1 have possessed myself of a key that, will let us out to the river; and once there we ran easily obtain a barge. You shall tell me anon of the strange circum- stances which brought you here, but,. now we must be on the move, for time is precious. But your compan- ion here?" 1 ••Slie is the daughter of Clio." i 'late armorer?" "Yes, and to her we both owe much." "And she shall be rewarded. But come -I will hear the story at an- other time." Ludim grasped Esther warmly by the hand as he spoke, and then he turned towards the window. Here he gazed carefully around, and hav- ing become satisfied that no one was stirring, he beckoned for the girls to steis forward. 1 -le had brought ropes with him with which to facilitate the descent, and having prepared a sort of noose, he asked Marina if she dar- ed trust herself to be lowered by it. "Anything -everything I dare," she replied quickly, as she bent forw.ard. Ludim passed the noose over her head, and then adjusted it under her arms; and making sure that the knot was safe. and that the rope would give her no pain, he requested her to sit down upon the coping. She un- hesitatingly obeyed, and then gradu- ally eased herself from her seat un- til she hung by the rope and thus she was safely landed upon the ground below. Esther followed her companion's example, and then, se- curing the rope to a brazen bolt in the casing, Ludira followed them.. - Already the girls felt like freed birds, but they knew there was much yet to be passed ere they could be free, for a long way lay between them and the goal of their hopes. For several moments the email party remained where they landed, listen- ing to see if the breeze bore upon iLs bosom the sound of danger. llot it was quiet, and at length the old man whispered for Marina and Esther to follow him. "Be cautious, now," he said, "and let not even your robes drag tipon the pavement, lest they should start a rolling pebble. Stoop below the shrubbery and keep your eyes and ears open. Come." Stealthily they crept along the marble walk that led to the river, stopping occasionally to listen, and then again pushing slowly, cautious- ly on. flag the way had they gained and perhaps more, when Esther., who was behind, suddenly uttered an ex- clamation of alarm "What is the matter?" breathless-. ly asked Ludim, as he bent lower and turned back. "Ilark!" returned Esther, strain- ing her ears towards the palace. "I heart' loud voices, and they sounded as though they were responding to alarm." "Ole heavens, we are detected!" cried Marina, upon whose ears the sound now fell. Ludim tremblingly arose to his feet and gazed towards the palace. The confusion was plainly to be heard, and he did not fail to distin- guish the voice of Ben -Saul atnong. the rest. "I fear they have indeed discover- ed our flight," murmured the old man. "They have," cried Esther, "for, ene! there aro moving lights and persons hurrying to and fro in the chamber we have left." "Then let us fly to the river," cried Marina, springing towards her father and grasping him by the arm. "Fly to the barge and hat off at The after effects of some troubles, ouch as fevers, la grippe, etc., are frequently more serious in their re- sults than the original illness, and the patient is left an almost physi- cal wreck. lit such cases as these what, is needed is a. tonic medicine, to enrich tho blood, strengthen the nerves, and put the sygtern i ight.
