She was the only person who could
!point out the true would-be assassin,
and clear this young captain's name •ead

Consequences that w;ouid inevitably fol-
low, or not?
Lotig and earnestly Uldene pondered
'over the thought. if she set the officers
.of the law upon the daring strenger's
track, and they .ahouid hunt him down,
he would take a horrible vengeance upon
.her by blazoning her history and het
;story to the scandal -Loring world. And
yet because of this fatal power he held
over her, should she let au innocent man
suffer?
Uldene was sorely perplexed. She was
so young, so friendless, with no one to
advise—no one to reason with hee--•is
is nut to be wondered that she hesitat
de so pitifully.
The days and we•eka flew by, bringing
Ant last the fatal day of Captain Law

The captain and Rutledge Chester had

Rutledge s w•ooiitg diad met with sue-
.cess—the cuptntn's with iguom'iuious de•
feat, and he had sworn at terrible oath
,.of vengeance upon his more fortunate
.rival, vowing that the fair lady should
never be this bride, for he would suateh
her from hon at the very altar.
As the fatal testimony of one after
another was given, brave as the captain
was, cold dew stood out on his brow
end tr'ekled down vu his eleuehed hands.

:WM BLOOD

When the blood gets thin and watery,
as it usually dors at this time of year, the
nerves aro fist to suffer; they are starved
and exhausted. Headache, dizzy spells,
indigestion, weak action of the heart,
languid, depressing feelings; weakness
and functional derangements of the bodily
organs aro the result. •
You can feel Dr. Chase's Nerve Food
doing you good day by day, as it strikes at
the root of trouble and creates new, rich
blood. You can prove that it builds up
new tissues and adds flesh if you weigh
yourself each week while using it.
Mr. I. McFaul, carpenter, 315 Manning
Avenue, Toronto, states: "I have used
Dr. Chase's Nerve Food for acute indiges-
tion, nervousness and inability to sleep,
and now, after a thorough test, I am
pleased to say that my nervous system
has been built up, and I rest and sleep
well. I can speak very highly of this
preparation, knowing it to possess curative
properties erties which I have failed to find in
other remedies." so cents a box, at all
