On the other bead, ail tbat there was
to fear was an uuplcasaut experience
with Sir Jeffrey's rifling crop, is fight
in which be might or might not get the
worst, followed, of course, by expulsion
from the house, but he would still have
Lola in his power and still be able to
reap the reward he was strivieg for.
He measured up Sir Jatrray's strong,
well knit frame and recognized the cer-
tainty that he could not Hope to escape
without some !lard blowe, but the stake
was wc:rth winning.
Ile hail his talc ready, therefore, as
soon as Fir Jaffray came toward him.
"How dare you lay your hands on my
wife?"
"I answer no man who speaks to me
in that tone and backs his words 'with a
weapon while 1 u,a defenseless," be re-
plied,. with a good .ssumptio of bold-
ness.
"This is no weapon," said the baron-
et angrily, "in any such sense as that.
It is merely a horsewhip for he back of
a dastardly coward who dares to strike
a woman!"
Pierre Turrian made no reply, but he
folded bis arms across hischest and
stood staring resolutely et his opponent,
'idle mark of Lola's whip flaming like a
brand of red shame on his face.
"Look out!" were Sir Ja ray's only
words, and the next moment the long,
strong lash of the hunting whip curled
round the Frenchman's shoulders. It
was like the first taste of blood to a
wild animal mad with pent rage, and
Sir Jaffray seized him by the collar of
the coat and put his whole heart and
strength into the swinging outs which
he rained on the Frenchman's shoul-
ders and back.
Then at the close be wentto the door
and threw it open.
"Now, go," be said hurriedly, "and
let this be a lessou to you never to raise
your hand against a womanagain. Go,
or by heaven I shan't be able to keep
my hands from thrashing you again."
To do the roan justice, h had passed
through the ordeal with as much com-
posure as a man can hope to show un-
der a horsewhipping. He had neither
winced nor flinched, thoughthe hurt of
the blows had seemed to strike right to
the bone.
"I will go, and, mark me, every blow
that you have struck I willpay back a
hundredfold. I swear itt" •
".Bah ! Get out! This is not a theater,"
growled Sir Jaffray. Thu, seeiug a

"I mean," and his voice gre w a trifle be once more the acknowledged wife of
hoarse and unsteady --"I mean that Sir a num like you is a hateful prospect."
Jaffray is the one obstacle in your path, "Butter to be the wife of a man like
mo than the wanton of another."
"You scoundrel!" cried Lola. All the
passion that she had been holding in
check blazed forth at this taunt, And,
raising the riding whip which she held
in her hand, she struck him with all
her force right across the face, leaving
a crimson wide ou his livid cheek.
His rage was so violent that he trem-
bled with the force of it, and, rufibing
forward, ho torn the whip from her hand
and flung it to the other encs of the room.
You sho devil!" he muttered, glar-
ing into her face with murder in This
eyes while Lola faced him without
flinching and smiled scornfully at the
mark on his face.
He watched her warily and cunningly
for a moment, and then,darting forward,
seized her and cohnmenced to struggle
with her, striving to farce her backward
to a sofa, rage lending strength to his
supple, sinewy form.
She struggled on her side, putting
forth all her strength, which was very
great for a woman, and for a time she
not denounce you myself to Sir Jaffray
and face all that may have to come. '1'o
Land it is necessary for your sake and for
j mine that the obstacle should be re-
t moved."
Lola clinched her hands till the nails
f nearly ran into her palms, and she bit
1 der lip hard in her agitation, and it was
fully a minute before she trusted herself
1to speak.
` The Frenchman filled up the interval
is by lighting a fresh cigarette and walk-
! up and down the room. He was
! glad of the pause, for the strain of the
Imoment told on him. He was very pale,
. and the perspiration biome out in a line
of beads on his forehead.
t "1 think I understand you," said
Lola at leugth when she could trust
herself to Wpeak. "And what•is to hap-
pen after—after what you mean?"
He was by the door of the room when
Labe spoke, and he turned and answered,
standing still. He tried to speak lightly.
"What should happen?" he cried,
With a wave of the hands and a shrug
of the shoulders. "You would be free,
and I would claim you as my wife."
i "You would claim me!" she repeated.
! "Certainly," he said masterfully.
i a`You would be my wife"—
i • He stopper! suddenly without finish-
; lug the senteuce and turned toward the
1. door.
"What's that?" he cried, He rushed
i-to the door and tried to open it quick-
ly, but in his haste fumbled with the
.handle and then threw it open and
i looked out.
There was no one there, though he
' thought he could hear the whisk of a
• .dress, but he said nothing of this to
Lola.
$ . "I was mistaken," he said, returning
-to the room and closing the door behind
' •him.
' : "It must be a devil's plot indeed,"
1 .said Lola, "when it makes even you
I imagine that there are eavesdroppers."
• Ho made no answer to this.

;said. "It is the only one possible to
, get us out of this mess. What do you
1!say?"
Ec "You don't expect inc to reply off -
1 .hand that I am ready to take part in a
plot to murder my husband?"
' "Why not? You have already re-
!;.hearsed the part with me."
The malice in his tone and face made
Lola clinch her teeth and flush with
: ;anger. But she did not lot the hot words
• ;that rose to ber lips escape them. In-
istead of this she asked as calmly as she
•!mould force herself to spear::

FOR A YEAR AND A HALF,
Froin the Echo, Yterten, Ont.
Mrs. Wm. Thew, who is well
known in the town of Wiarton, was
a sufferer from heart trouble and
articular rheumatism for a period of
fifteen years. Lately her condition
has so Inueh improved that a repr,rter
of the Echo called upon her to ascer-
tain to what cause the change was
due. Mrs, Thew while not courting
publicity, consented to give a brief
statement of her case in hope that
some other sufferer might be bene-
fitted She said :— " My joints were
all swollen up to three times their
natural size and for a year and a
half I was unable to leave my bed.
I secured medical treatment and the
doctors told me 1 would never be
able to walk again. I took medicine
they prescribed but it failed to give
any relief. I took patent medicines
but they did not help tele. Having
noticed an advertisement in a paper
for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I con-
cluded to give them a trial and they
gave me relief from the time I com-
menced using them about the first of
January last. I have taken ten
boxes. I am now able to go around
without assistance and do all my
hcnsework." Dr. Williams' Pink

resisted him and held him in cheek.
She would not scream and did not utter
a sound.
But the struggle was an unequal one,
and gradually sho felt herself beginning
to lose way before him. Her riding
ba'bit hampered her, and she began to
fear that he would overpower her. She
strove hard to think how she could pre -
'vent him from hurting her without call-
ing for assistance from the servants.
Not for a moment did sho lose her
presence of mind, though she knew
well the desperate character of the man
she had to deal with, and it was only
in the last extremity, when she felt that
she could not continuo the struggle and
that her life would be in clanger if she
the not have help, that she resolved to
cry for assistance.
But there was no need.
. Just at that moment they both heard
the sound of a horse's gallop and the
stamping of its feet as the rider checked
it, throwing it upon its haunches jest
outside of the window.
It was Sir Jaffrey, anal the sight
broughtstho Frenchman to his senses.
In another minute Sir Jaffray, look-
ing very white and stern and carrying
his heavy hunting crop in his hand, en-
tered the room.
Lola, exhausted and breathless with
her efforts, had sunk upon a low chair,
while her late assailant stood upon the
defensive.
CHAPTER XVI.
HORSEWHIPPED.
Sir Jaffray's first thought was nat-
urally for Lola.
"Are you hurt, my darling?" he
asked, crossing to her and bending lov-
ingly over her.
"No, it is nothing. Oh, I am so glad
you have come!" And now that danger
for herself and the excitement were
over she was fax more unsteady and un-
nerved than slie bad been before.
She began now to fear the effect of
au encounter between the two men and
felt that in a moment all that she had
striven to gain might be lost. She clung
to Sir Jaffrey's arm and would not re=
lease him.
"Let pie go, dear one. And you—go
to your room. Leave me to deal with
th is—gentleman. "
But she would net and clung to bim
still.
"Come, Lola," in a voice that sho
knew must be obeyed.
"I will stay," she said and then
loosed his. arm.
"I do not wish it," said the baronet
firmly.
But Lela would not yield.
"I would rather," she answered.
' "As you will, then," said Sir Jaffray
shortly.
Then ho turned to Pierre Turrian,
who hacl been watching the pair closely
and thinking rapidly what to do.
The minute's breathing space which
Sir Jaffray's hurried questioning of
Lola had afforded had given time for
reconsideration and had changed the
current of •the Frenchman's thoughts
and the whole development of after
events.
At the moment of Sir Jaffrey's entry
Pierre Turrian's first instinct had been
to save himself from an exceedingly
awkward complication by throwing the
baronet's anger on to Lola and exposing
the true character of tho relations be-
tween her and himself.
But the minute's consideration caused
him to change his intention completely.
If be were to do anything of the kind,

Then,
'aid to them, "Turn that roan out of
the house, and if ever be comes here
again you have my express permission
to kick him right down to the lodge
gates."
With that he shut the door and turned
to Lola.
"And now, sweetheart, that the
room's clear of that brute, tell me what
on earth does it all Mean?"
He sat down by her and first took her
hand in his, and then, seeing that sho
was greatly agitated, he ran his arm
round her waist and held her close to

ulated, and his demonstrative move-
ments were rare enough to make her
prize them all the more.
She nestled close to him now, and
twining her arms about his neck clung
to him and drew down his face to hers,
covering it with long,, sweet kisses,
while her eyes filled with tears, which
he could riot understand. She knew
well enough, however, that they were
drawn from a too certain foreknowledge
to iu their lives were

Sir Jaffray on his side was very dis-
quieted by the affair. In the moment of
his arrival his thoughts had.been too
closely occupied with the burning de-
sire to thrash the scouudrel whom he
had seen with his own eyes molesting
Lola to hoed what bad happened before
ho came. His blood was set on fire by
what he saw, and he neither cared nor
stopped to think.
'When he had sated that desire and
had lashed the man to his soul's delight

possibly have happened between Lola
and the man whom he had regarded as
his friend that could lead to such an
