"At present, yes," I answered, "though certainly it would appear to bon despite espito of fortune, for 1t is not the fault of some people that I am not sent packing off to Loudon." He stared at me in the act of drink- ing, and I felt hood's eyes also upon me. The next second the innkeeper resumed his work, placing a fork soft- ly oftly by the captain's plate. "How do you mean?" asked Ser- combe. As I had started. the tale, I went on with it, rehearsing briefly the visit of Barnett. Captain Sercombe smiled and went on with his food. "Oh, I thought some one had been disputing your title," ho said, "that is all. I hope you fooled him?" I related my victory with some satis• faction, and Sercombe chuckled. "Well, you're going to keep your cas- tle?" he resumed. "Patriotic man! Though I should judge £20,000 to be a good market price for the property." "It is not worth half as much," said I. "Then why not, in the name of good- ness, take your profit?" demanded the captain, opening his eyes in astonish- ment. "I'm in no hurry," said I, smiling. "Humph!" ejaculated the captain, picking his teeth thoughtfully. "Well, you may be right, though I don't see your reasons. A landed estate is mere- ly a nuisance, so far as my experience goes. It's all payment and no returns. • It takes a wealthy man to keep an es- tate. If I had your place, Mr. Great- orex, I should be disposed to let It, at any rate, and enjoy the proceeds while I might. You'd find no difficulty in do- ing that, I should think." "I dare say not," was my reply. "Why," continued the captain, as if smiling at his own thought, "I would take it off your hands for a mouth or so for the fishing alone—that is, if you were reasonable." 'For some reason or other this semi - jocose offer irritated me, possibly be- cause of previous experiences. "Between you, you are bound to have me out," I said, rather dryly. "But I assure you I will not budge." I was not looking at him as I spoke, but out of the tail of my eye it seem- ed to me that I caught a quick ex- change of glances between the cap- tain and the innkeeper, and to my imagination—for such it may have been— the face of the man Hood wore an unmistakable frown. But as I turned sharply he was merely refilling the captain's glass and using a deft napkin upon the soda water bottle. Sercombe burst out laughing in his • comfortable fashion. "My dear sir," said he, "it is long since I wasin a position o to to pose as a n country gentleman, and for my own part I sincerely hope you will occupy the castle as long as I occupy the inn. After that I fear I shall have no fur ther interest t e in the matter." si I felt distinctly nett snubbedthe ere•f Y by joinder, for all that it was delivered , in so hearty a manner. But I got out of the inn creditably enough and with a neat stroke in return, all very good humored. All the same, upon my home- ward journey I was troubled by that mutual signal which I had seemed to discover between these two lncougru- outs people. As for $ercomhc s offer. it was plainly intended for a jest, and 1 thought ua more of it. Yet I was still exercised iu my mind, varztely un- easy and distrustful. And in this mood I settled down to consider my situation tint evening and to review the events which I hove here narrated. The puzzle was to determine a cause for all the remarkable transactions. Some one wanted to acquire the castle, and went about it very persistently. ,Why? And some one had made raids upon the house to secure something of :which I was in possession. What? Suddenly, cold as if revealed by a Indications of Paralysis ALL nervous diseases are slow in coming on, and for this reason the victim often does not realize his danger until overtaken by prostra- tion or paralysis. Loss of interest in life, sleepless- ness, irritability, failure of memory, inability to concentrate the mind, muscular weakness, indigestion, headache, twitching of the nerves, feelings of depression and despond- ency are among the symptoms which tell of an exhausted nervous system and the approach of paralysis.

It was hidden treasure: CHAPTER VI. NOW that I had put my tongue to tho word I was confident of my discovery. All the facts Pointed one way, And I was dumfounded at my previous obtuse - seas. For what but a hidden store of measure would explain these incessant etlenlpts upon the house itself or the insistent efforts to take it out of my hands? And what again but treasure could supply so natural a key to old Itesteven's death and his mysterious secret? It seemed to me, too, that up- on this hypothesis several facts hither- to Inexplicable might be referred to reason. The eccentricity of my host in choosing me for his heir became not so much an eccentricity as a studious piece of policy. He was, in the general verdict, devoid of living relatives, and bad so long fallen out of the world as to be practically friendless. He had made up his mind to my honesty, possibly to my capability, and was resolved to trust me. If this were so, as I saw it now, the making of the will had been an inevitable act in the game he in- tended to play. I could not imagine that he had fore- seen his sudden death, yet with his knowledge that lie had an organic dis- ease it was wise to take punctual pre- cautions. It was probable also that the news he had evidently received upon the morning of that fatal day had conduced to his visit to the lawyer. I was to be admitted to his confidence. Twice he had been interrupted in the very nick of his narrative—the second time by the interposition of Death himself. In these considerations my thoughts were naturally drawn to the events of that evening. Why had Kes- teven retired to his room? Obviously There was a connection between bis er- rand and the sheet of parchment which I had detached from his clutch. I opened my dispatch box and spread out the paper on the table once more, poring over it with my pulse throbbing to my finger tips. The meaning was now plain, though the main secret was yet to find. The parchment was clear- ly the second sheet only of the docu- ment which Mr. Kesteven had desired to bring down for my perusal. I sat up at a new and more alarming discovery. Where was the first sheet? That open window now offered up its secret, That desperate cry was no longer now the scream of mortal ago- ny, but an appeal for help. From the dead fingers I had taken the second sheet of the mysterious document, so pregnant with interest, but from the hands of the living I could not doubt that the first had been violently torn in the course of a struggle in that silent chamber. Terror had surprised the ras- cal at his work—the h w t o terror of that 1 t sud- den and fearful dissolutiorn, of that humped and pitiful body fallen on the floor. And here now with two ends of the secret, whatever it might be, rent asunder and secluded in separate hands, the hoard of treasure still lay buried in its ancient hiding place as in- tact and private as it had lain maybe through hundreds of years of silence. My riddle was read. That certainly was a great step, and in the heat of my discovery, as I sat palpitating with strange emotions of adventure, avarice, even of ferocity, I had no intention to leave the matter where it stood. I was resolved to confront fate and to enter the lists against those undetermined enemies. So far they had kept very silent, working only in the dark, but I swore then and there to meet them, drag them forth into the broad daylight and contest my rights in the hidden treasure, if it existed, against a dozen sorry knaves. I am a patient man . and not overquick to take a resolution, but I do not easily lay down a task which , I have once undertaken. I swore upon the spot to undertake this. in the circuit of any fancy I came uddenly upon this consideration, which pulled she up quite sharply, even with , a little breathlessness. These unknown antagouists were still banded in arms against me, and I was alone. I had had repeated evidence that I was pur- sued by their ingenuity and in twa ways. On the one hand I was to be evicted from my own house, and simul- taneously my bureau was rifled, as 1 could not now doubt, for the purpose of severing my remnant of the precious document. What would be the next step which these insolent trickster. would essay? I had no one in the cas• tle beyond the estimable Mrs. main and a neat housemaid, neither of whom vas to be counted in a warfare suet as the situation promised to my imagi• nation. The one man that was daily visible about the place slept at Llanellan, as Mr. Kesteven had informed me. What puzzled me at this point was the isola- tion In which my host had enwrapped himself. Ile had taken no pains to protect himself. I':xposecl, as he muss have known be was, to the treachery of an nnsernpnlouv foe, he was thrown • absolutely upon !hie own resources un- less indeed he relied upon the neat proximity of hood in tittles of emer fens. But Hood perplexed inc. re - 1 tring in my thoughts, a haunting !Ig. %lire, tiroiroking truly a vague Theitaineel I'FIi IN LA .19 TIMES, 4PI'IL r) i ,eft; and, a great =Certainty. And once again the odd coujunetlon of the Cap- tain and the innkeeper returned before my eyes. Ono ihlu was certain to wy newly awakened wits —I must have some companion iu my coud- deuee. There were several friends among my old acquaintances who would, serve me, but the year wus drawing on and the holiday season was at his height. The odds were that I should discover Peugelly or Rogers or Sheppard was fur enough from Lon- don. by this. I wanted aid forthwith, and forthwith must have it, So it fell that my mina recurred to Montgomery.. EXo was not very much to my taste, certainly not congenial company, but be was obviously honest, and I could swear that he would be faithful. Aud so indeed he proved. I rodo over next morning to the farm which con- stituted now all that was left of the old estate of the family. He was plait - lug a whip in his dining room—a high wainscoted chamber, very dingy and untidy and heaped with all the un- imaginable rubbish of a young man's fancy, On my entrance he rose, his silly face beaming red, and grasped ray band with an awkward sentence of welcome. "It's good of you to come so soon," said he. "I've come to take you back," said I. He stared at me. "Oh, all right!" he said, as if this mission of mine had been a matter of course. "Come and have a drink." It was but 11 in the morning, though the breakfast things still cumbered his table, and so I refused his hospitality, a refusal which did not prevent bis pouring himself out a glass of beer. "Montgomery," said I, "leave that alone and keep your head clear. I want you." The boy bounded to his feet sheep- ishly enough to what he doubtless con- sidered my rebuke, but with a show of eagerness which pleased me. "Got your horse?" I asked. Ile nodded, all attention now, and I continued: "Then fling your legs up and be off, and ask your servant to send on your bags. I'm going to keep you for a week." "Bully!" be said and clamored out of the room in a cheery fashion. I had already made up my mind not to be too explicit with Montgomery. He was too recent an acquaintance, de- spite my conviction of his fidelity, to intrust with a precious secret. Indeed, the first occasion of our encounter would not have commended him to many particular people, What I told him, therefore, as we rode back em- braced but the general atmosphere of intrigue in which I was involved. The word that stuck in his mind was "bur- glary," and it greatly excited him. "Shall we have the police over?" he asked anxiously. But, strangely enough, although the thought had occurred to me more than once, it was almost in old Kesteven's words that I replied: "There are none nearer than Ray- mond." To that I added, "Besides, I think we two are in no need of assist- ance against a ruffian or two." The next two days passed very peace- ably. As I am fond of laying my plans ahead, I wrote to Sheppard at his chambers, asking him if he were still in town and if he felt disposed to pay me a visit, referring briefly to the strange turn which my fortunes had taken. I saw nothing of the captain, for atcost at h castle, and sot l to t t some reason or other I felt no desire to re- visit him just now. Ile had evidently forgotten my invitation, nor did I re- mind him of it when we met casually upon the road the day afterliontgom- ery's arrival. Ile gave me a. civil greeting, cocking liis eye at my com- panion in his good humored, cynical way, and when we had passed, on looking bark, I saw hint standing at the crossroads, rod in hand, gazing in- tently after us. Seeing inc do so, he waved his hamd and moved off upon bis journey. Montgomery was as doc- ile its a spaniel, submitting readily, I suppose, to the superior will, and I hall 1,0 1• enplaint to make of htm save than he wer.ried me a good deal.

Fisher, of Newmarket, Ont. "Two doctors at- tended him. He lay for three months almost like a dead child. His lungs became so swollen, his heart was pressed over to the right side. Altogether I think we paid $14o to the doctors, and all the time he was getting worse. Then we commenced the Dr. Slocum treatment. The effect was wonderful. \Ve saw a difference in two days. Our boy was soon strong and well." liere is a positive proof that Psyclrine will curd Pneumonia. But why wait till Pneumonia comes. It always starts with a Cold.

But all the: same I wus a MOP :-ty. to find them upon such close: tet ins with one another. The third day after Montgomery's arrival I resolved to ride into Ray- mond to see the little lawyer, and, mounting the black horse which had come to mesas part of my inheritance, I left the castle shortly before lunch. The nag was a steady creature, though not very handsome to the eyes, and shortly I was upon the other side of Llanellan and' cantering down into the long stretch of forest which lies to- ward the little town. Isere, as it chanc- ed very oddly, whom should I meet but Greenstroet himself, driving out to the castle upon the very point of business on which I was bound for Raymond. Encountering thus we agreed to make a convenience of the locality, since I could not persuade him to turn back with me, and we completed our con- versation over a pint of ale at the lit- tle hostelry in Llanellan. The trausac- : tion was comprised in a brief time, and . that finished I turned my horse's bead forthright for home. As I drew near the park gates it wanted a little of 4 by my watch. The sun beamed sharply overhead, and the great ilex by the stone pillars of the gateway threw a Week blot of shadow across the drive. I beaded the horse Four dimple Rules Follow Them and Health, Happiness and Prosperity Will be Yours. If one would be healthy, happy and prosperous, follow these four simple rules. (1) Keep the bowels open every day. (2) Chew your food slowly and thoroughly. (3) Avoid indigestible foods. (4) If there are any symptoms of stomaoh troubles, take Mi-o-na before each meal until cared. No matter how many years you may have sufi'ered with stomaoh troubles or how worried by sleeplessness, nervous- ness, loss of appetite, furred tongue, specks before the eyes, headaohes, indi- gestion or other ills that are caused by a weak stomach, yon can be cured by the faithful use of Mi 'i-na. Take one of the li' le tablets before each meal with the f ' .1 determination to get the most benefs • •int of it. Mi-o•na is not a faL,'tful experiment, it is not a patent medi,;ine, it is not a oure at all. It is a scientific remedy recommended but for one trouble,— weakness of the digestive organs. When Mi-o•na has been used for a few days, the digestive system will be so greatly improved that all the food eaten is converted into nutriment, so that nourishment and health are given to the whole system and there is a rapid in- crease in weight, strength and spirits. If you cannot obtain Mi-o-na of your druggists, it will be sent by mail, post- paid, on receipt of price. Write us for advice on your case from a leading sto- mach specialist which will be sent free.

Leav- ing the animal h1 charge of the handy man, Williams. I walked back by way of the park, skirting the western wing of the building. 17pon this side, as I have said, lay a dense shrubbery, through witch the little brook stream- ed over its pebbly bottom to the wa- terfall upon the southern declivity of the hill. A pathway ran circuitously through this growth of laurel and box, evidently of comparatively recent ori- gin, and winding by several pretty allots, bordered with the rivulet, final- ly emerge(t u)yon the boundary of !lite park: and joined a cross track from the gateway by a leafy avenue of limes.

X stood still a mo- ment, stirred somewhat strangely, and then ran quickly to the corner. Peer- ing round, I caught sight of it figure stealing among the shrubs, It paused ei moment and then, as it seemed to nue, slipped stealthily through the bushes and disappeared. The \ n e r_ t instant I had recognized Hood. There was nothing very remark- able in this, but what moved my blood was a more curlew; recognition. Swift as the flight of a swallow there darted into o my mind the recollection of :an- other vision. I Identified the memory. It came buck upon me with an odd sense of perplexity and a still stranger feeling of fear where and when I had first encountered that lean and stealthy body. I had seen the man disappear in the sanlo furtive fashion upon the batiks of the stream in tiro valley be- low, and what had then arrested my vague 1C ll01" now a lso againcin attack- ed it, but this time with certain knowl- edge. This was the man who had been with Mr. Kesteven upon the clay on which I had first encountered him in the wood. The fact astounded me, thrilled through lay waria limbs to the very marrow of my bones. And yet it seem- ed too absurd to be accepted on the spur of a moment's fancy. I stood pondering in a state of excitement and then, hastily tutnih:g about, ran in the direction of the castle, ! What ut•.:x IIo ids business there? I asked myself the question without the assurance of an answer. There was re- ally but little to arouse my suspicions, and yet I w.t" agog; with curiosity. I entered the castle courtyard and open- ed the door of the din'ug hall. The first obJect that met my el•r-s was Mont- gomery st'rawling upon the table and stertorous with drunken sleep. Plates were laid fee two, and empty bottles upon the table testified to a generous lunch. Leaving him for a moment, I run uupstairs 1 1 tan n and pushed open my door silently. As I diel so there was au ex- clamation, and I entered and came face to face with Captain Sercombe. Montgomery sprawled 'upon the table in a drunker sleep. Ile held oue hand in his tightly but- toned coat and looked at me with a watchful eye. "This is very regrettable, Mr. Great- orex," he said. The apology sounded so ludicrous in my ears that I broke into a tiny laugh h and thereby relieved myself. The time for action was come. "•I must apologize," said I, "for my unexpected return, the more particular- ly as I have no doubt interrupted you on important business." "Not at all," he said pleasantly; "not at all. I had quite finished." "Then if you have been successful, Captain Sercombe," said I as pleasant- ly as himself, "I think we had better understand each other at once." A slight smile ruffled his puffy face, (To be continued.) Vice of Being Too Busy It happens that the men who might be presumed to have their time most occu pied with business are usually able to give plenty of time to their friends and to affairs of a public or charitable char- acter; while men that have not much to do are frequently unable to make time out of their day for any work not direct- ly gainful to themselves, says the San Franciso "Bulletin." It is the small - brained fussy men that don't amount to much and never accomplish big things who are the busiest. They are not tall enough intellectually to distinguish be - tween what is petty and what is essen - tial and worth while. To their minds it is a merit to be busy, even though one be doing useless work. They see virtue in the foot of being at their desks precise - ly at 8, and scratching away there nn - til 6 or later, notwithstanding that mach of the work done is superfions and none of it important. A really big man orders his day intelli- gently, and leaves to subordinates the jobs that they can perform as well as he. He does not waste his own time or the time of his subordinate on work that is not worth doing at all. His con- science doesn't ache if he idles an hour or half a day, neglecting no important, pressing task. He doesn't fret over the suspicion that his employes relax, at moments, and do less workon some days than they could do when driven at the highest pressure. He knows human na- ture and is aware that the most faithful employe, the sort of man who asks no rest in emergencies, will take matters teeily at other times when there is no urgent occasion for haste.
