(Continued.) I was first, as I intended to be, at the | trysting place, and I hid myself to see what the dear girl would do; and I take credit for the possession of a self- restraint that was truly wonderful, see- ingin what a great longing held me to. rush out and comfort her. She stood and looked round eagerly, and then I heard her—for I was buta few paces from her—say, softly: “Where is he? Ah, Jack, darling, my heart hungers for you!””—and when I had hep at this dis- advantage I rushed out and did my best to satisfy her hunger. Her warm kisses, the touch of her hand as she pushed back my hair to get a better look at me, and the joy that danced and sparkled in her glori- ous eyes, told me that she was mine forever, even as I was hers, and that nothing now should part us until the one of us stood and looked down upon the dead face of the other, gone before to await the more perfect union of soul that would live for ever and ever! And now that the fear of the venge- ance of the dreaded Thirteen was lifted from him, Mr. Courtney came back to something of the old cheerfullness of the days when he was lord and master of Courtney Castle, and the meeting between him and my father was of the | most cordial nature, for he received us | at Connemara Cottage with all the old- | time courtesy of which he was past- | master, | While our elders withdrew and dis- cussed with becoming gravity the union | of the families, Nora and I betook our- selves to the garden, and if our conduct was not governed by the strict eti- quette that prevailed indoors, we yet managed to pass half an hour very pleasantly before we were called to re- ceive our sires’ blessings, with a hearty | 8rip from the one for me, and a father- ly kiss from the other for the blushing Nora. | One more scene, and the history of the Ragged Thirteen will be as a tale that is told. The packet that Lenron had given me contained the address of his wife, and furnished me directions by which I might easily find Jim Maguire, and further armed me with an authority upon the production of which my old friend would be at once restored to me. I also found a letter addressed to me, written by Lennon, during the last day of his life, giving me fuller details of the dual existence he had led, and I understood clearly how he had been dominated by his mother and Sweeney, and how they kept continually alive within him the idea that he must sacri- fice everything to the one end and aim of becoming his brother's avenger. Hard by a flourishing town on the south coast, in a cottage smothered in ! glematis and guelder roses, dwelt a lady whose card would have informed you that she was Madame L: te, but who I knew, by reason of what Len- non’s packet had told me, was none other than his widow.She was a teach- er of music, and the daintily-furnished drawing room into which I was shown by a neat maid, and the general air of comfort, were conclusive proofs that her efforts to obtain a living had been crowned with abundant success. She was a woman drawing nigh to her for- tieth year, and her face, though it showed some traces of sorrow, was yet a beautiful one, and her soft voice, as she saluted me, set my heart beating. “What might be the object of your | Visit, sir?” she asked, when I had seat- | ed myself. “I have not the pleasure of knowing your name, and if you have | called upon me with regard to taking | pupils, I may say at once that my time | is, at present, fully occupied.” “T have called upon a far more urgent matter than that,” I said, “and it is of so delicate a nature that I hardly know how to begin. If I seem to have some knowledge of your private affairs, you will see. when I have told my story, that I have come by that knowledge accidentallly. I know, for instance, that your name is not Lafitte.” “Pardon me, sir—’ she was begin- ning, when I interrupted her. “Believe me,” I said, “that what I have to tell you concerns most nearly not only your happiness, but also that of one who was once very dear to you. To relieve your suspense, let me say that I was present when Maurice Len- non, who was your husband, died in Fiji; that he expired in my arms, and that he gave me directions by means of which I might find you. He also told me of the cruel wrong he had done you, and said he would do his best to re- pair that wrong. It is only natural that you should be deeply moved by what I am saying, and, if you prefer it, I can come again presently, when you have mastered the shock which my words must have given you.” She sat for some time without speak- ing. Then she faced me steadily. “Tell me all,” she said, and with that I gave her a full account of how I had come in contact with Jim Maguire, and , of all that happened to him. And I was, perforce, obliged to give her time | to grow calm again when she had heard of the strange calamity that had come upon him, and as soon as she could listen to me I went on: “It is to see whether we can restore his mental balance that I have come to you. Is there anything you could. do whereby you might stir the chords of his memory?” She arose and went to the piano. was intensely fond of,” she said, “and that he always made me sing to him;” and, running her fingers over the keys, I heard her play a few notes, and then, to a simple accompaniment, she sang, “Td mourn the hopes that leave me.” Had T been the one whose memory needed awakening, the result had been achieved then and there. She closed | the piano and lookeu‘’ wack at me. £ had risen from my chair. “You are the Mary!” I cried, “who sang that to him years ago in the farm house near Oxford. Don’t you remem- ber me? The little,boy you taught to read-—little Jack Tremayne, that cried his heart out when the big man took his Mary away?” The curse of the Ragged Thirteen had first fallen upon her and upon me in those far-away days. It had been lift- ed from me, and my fuiure was un- clouded. Would it be lifted from her and from dear old Jim Maguire? I had no difficulty in finding him, and the let ter I brought from Lennon to the peo. ple with whom he had been placed re- leased him and made him my compan- ion again. And now he was waiting, near at hand, for I had brought him with me, in the hope that the woman he had loved so dearly might be able to let loose the flood-gates of his memory, and there seemed no better chance than | the one she had suggested. And so we arranged a little dramatic scene, sim- ple enough, in all truth, and yet one that would try the chief performer to We drew a screen around , the quick. the piano. I was to bring Jim with me to see a friend, and at the right moment she was to sing. That was all. And I hurried away, leaving her on her knees. “Come with me, Jim,” I said, when I got back to him, “and, please God, you will recover the most precious posses- sion a man can have on this earth.” “Steady a minute, Jack!” he said. “Tell me this. If I come back to a knowledge of the past, I may come back to a knowledge that will force me to tell you something that may part us, and, before God, I would rather be as I am, and your friend, than wake up to find myself the son of a lord, and yet one with whom you could not associ- ate.” I took his hand and told him that nothing he could say to me would ever affect our future relations, and that I would only have done with him when he himself bade me so to do, and with that we started for the cottage, where we were shown into the drawing room “Now, Jim,” I said, when the maid had left us, “you must try to help me. Have you no memory of a girl that was dearer to you than life? Have you neo memory of how she left you?” The light in his eyes grew bright. “Ah! God in Heaven help me!” he whispered. I heard a soft rustle behind the screen. Then the notes were gently touched, and without a tremor that brave woman sang the simple melody as I shall never hear it sung again. The man before me was as though he had been smitten with palsy. “Merciful God!” he whispered, “is it an angel thet is singing to me? The farm—the boy—little Jack—Mary! Mary Alaine!” And so Jim’s-reeson returned. I stole softly from the room, and as IT looked back at them, clasped in ch other's: arms, I knew that the misery and horror of the FT ged Thirteen had passed from our liv and that the light of Heaven was shining upon us! (1 d.) CANT OID SLANG. Words Yours Matron Choice Crentes General Amaze The young matron whose hu a confirmed and inveterate spi slang, and who, from association, has involuntarily fallen into his methods of speech, made another break the other afternoon. She was attending a some- what formal luncheon given by a wo- man friend, at wh were present 4 number of visiting women from Boston and other Massachusetts cities, The hostess mentioned a legacy which had lately been left to a pretentious, social- ly ambitious but impecunious woman friend, who was not present at the luncheon, but who was well known to all of the Washington women present. “It was quite a windfall,” said the - hostess. “I understand that the sum bequeathed to her by her uncle was } something like $30,000.” “What, in milk tickets or rain checks?” incredulously inquired the young matron whose husband is a slangist, and then her countenance suddenly went red enough to match her cerise silk waist, and the visiting wo- men from Massachusetts stared at her as perhaps Emerson would have stared | at “Chuck” Connors, had they ever met, while the hostess, with a reassur- ing smile of sympathy for the unfor- tunate wife of the hurler of the pave patois, hastened to change the subject.

Nearly one- third of the people of the United States are afflicted with catarrh ia some of its many phases and stages. Add to this the ract that catarrh rap- idly tends to become fixed or chronic, also the further fact that it is ca-| pable of producing a great many other diseases, and we begin to real- ize the true nature of this dread dis- ease. So formidable has catarrh become that in every city or town of any size numerous doctors are to be found who make the treatment of ca- tarrh a specialty. Of course a great deal of good is accomplished in this way, but as yet a comparatively small number of the people can avail themselves of this treatment be- i 9 cause of the great expense necessa- rily attached to it. i net une - BLACK on YELLOW - Wit.

Not only is it more successful in curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists, but it is within the reach of every person in this land. Peruna can be bought at any drug store, and is a remedy without equal for catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis, con- sumption, and all climatic diseases of winter. Peruna is not a guess, nor an ex- periment; it is an absolute, scien- tific certainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals.
