No reason why any reader Should suffer in the face of evi- dence like this: Mrs. Almira A. Jackson, of East Front St., Traverse City, Mich., says: “For twenty years I never knew what it was to have good health. Every physician consulted said I had liver trouble, but their medicines did me no good. Just before I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills I was almost par- alyzed. I could hardly stand on my feet because of the numbness and lack of circulation. Had a knife been thrust into my kidneys the pain could not have been more intense. My sleep was disturbed by visions of distorted figures, the kidney secretions were annoyingly irregular and I was tor- tured with thirst and always bloated. I used seven boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills. The bloating subsided until 1 weighed one hundred pounds less, could sleep like a child and was re- lieved of the pain and the irregular- ity of the kidney action. My circula- tion is good and I feel better in every way.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ney medicine which cured Mrs. Jack- son will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

I scarcely think that any young man in his senses will refuse to comply with a condition so—” the lawyer cast about in his mind for something ap- propriate to say, and said it with a gulp—‘“so very pleasant.” “Thank you; that is very nice of you,” she replied, with a smile and a bow. “I presume we may leave that question for a few days—sufficient to allow of necessary introductions,” she said. “I suppose even the late Mr. John Hawley, my grandfather, would scarcely want me to marry my cousin without knowing kim, eh?” The stipulation is made that you are to mary him within six months of your putting in a claim to the for- tune,” replied Mr. Stock. “Then there’s breathing time,” she replied. ‘Where shall I see him?” “Arrangements shall be made for him to come down to Hawley Park so soon. as you may care to make his ac- quaintance,” said Mr. Stock. “And let me assure you, my dear young lady, that you need have no fear re- garding the young man. I have known him since he was a boy, and he is not only very handsome, but an exceed- ingly nice fellow. I think we shall get 6n very, very comfortably,” he added, feeling that he had really arranged’ things rather well in a very short space of time. The new Grace Yarwood returned to her hotel. By the time she got there some of the alertness had gone out of her—she felt limp and brcken. Once or twice during that interwiew she had felt the sickening nausea of actual fear—a fear she had never known in the wild scenes of her past life. She contented herself, however, with the thought that the worst was over,/and that she was firmly estab- lished on the throne she had usurped. The next morning the solicitor paid a sort of return visit to the hotel and announced his intention of going down with her to take possession of her new home. “Perhaps I may say that there is also a London house which belongs to you, but which is not quite ready at the moment for occu- pation,” he added. “At this season of the year—perhaps the most beautiful in England—you will probably like to remain at Hawley Park.” “For a time, at least,” she replied. “I am dying to see it—to know what it is like. When do we start?” “Within an hour, if that will suit you, Mss Yarwood,” replied the law- yer. “I am taking with me certain papers which I can explain at your leisure; nothing very formidable, I as- sure you. They simply relate to funds and rents and other things of that kind, which will show you what your income really is. It is a very large one, and until you make up your mind concerning your cousin, or he makes up his mind concerning you, you are to enjoy a certain amount set apart from the estate. So that for six months, at least, you are safe.” “Safe!” she whispered to herself. “For six months. And a lot may hap- pen, in six months!” They journeyed down that morning into the pleasant county of Surrey. Every arrangement had been made, and at a certain little wayside station where they alighted a smart carriage and pair was in attendance. The wom- an began to feel the splendor of the thing griping her; began to laugh at the ease with which one could drop into a thing of this sort if one had but the courage. A little country cart had been sent for the luggage; an obsequious sta- tion master insisted upon looking after that himself. More than that, the couple of porters were almost tum- bling over each other in their anxiety to be of service. .Altogether very pleasant and very satisfactory. They drove through the country roads for quite a long distance, and turned in at last through huge old gates, and passed a lodge where an elderly woman stood smiling and drop- ping curtesies as they swept by. At the house itself—a great, rambling old place, set in the midst of splendidly- kept grounds stretching far away on either side—servants stood waiting to welcome their new mistress. It was all like some enchanted fairy tale, some dream from which she would awake to find herself in a far Western town and the dream at an end. But it was no dream, after all. The staid presence of the lawyer refuted any such idea. She dined with him in a great paneled room, with more servants flitting noiselessly about than there seemed any possible need for, and she presently saw him go up the wide staircase to his room, leaving her to her own. devices. She went back into the pretty room she had been told had once belonged to David Yarwood’s wife before she had fied from the room and from the house al- together, and sat down in a comfort- able chair there and sighed with dee; contentment. : “It’s all true! I’ve won; the game is in my hands at last!” She started and looked round quick- ly; she had heard the sound of quick footsteps on the terrace outside. With a nervous feeling of dread she saw the figure of a man standing there, outside the French windows, looking at her. A young man, and a complete stranger. In the light which streamed upon him from the room he seemed little more than a boy. As she cried out nervously, he un- latched the window and came into the room. And so, for a moment, they stood looking at each other. Then he spoke. “Don’t be alarmed, Cousin Grace,” he said, quietly. “I’m the condition, you know; I am your cousin, Ray- mond Hawley.” CHAPTER IV Escaped! All sorts and conditions of men and women drift into a seaport town—for the most part those who come for an hour or so before starting out for some other place. To Southampton, for instance, come millionaires from South Africa—and so on down the scale of life, until you come to the destitute man or woman who lands there with but little chance of going any further if money is to be of as- sistatice. Few more destitute, perhaps, than a man and woman. who came into the gray town from a vessel one night, and looked about them at this, their first sight of the England for which, for different reasons, they both had longed. The first sight was not en- couraging, because a heavy drizzle was falling, and a melancholy wind ; blew against them from the land, as though it would thrust them out of the country to which they had so recently come. The man was a tall, grim- looking old fellow, spare of frame, and with a long gray beard sweeping over his chest; the woman was little more than a girl, and she, too, was tall and well formed. She had a fair and beautiful face, and her shabby garments were in curious contrast with her fine, erect carriage and tne dignity of her bearing. “England—my England at last!” she murmured, turning with a smile to the old man. “What a long jour- ney it has been! And here we stand on firm land at last and know that we are nearing the end.” “Yes, the rest will seem but a little way, my child,” said the old man. We have traveled thousands of miles; we count the rest of the journey by tens. However, we cannot even travel so far to-night; we must find shelter. It will have to be in a poor quarter of the town, for we are nearly at the end of our little store.” “Your little store,” said the girl, looking at him gratefully. “T had nothing; what should I have done without’ you?” They went a little way until, under an arch where a gas lamp was fixed, they waited for a moment out of the rain; then the old man drew out a small canvas bag from his breast and shook from it a little silver, into his palm. “The last of it,” he said; “but the sun will shine to-morrow, and you and I are used to hardship and short commons. If we can. find some decent place here, we have enough for food and lodging. And this is the end of our journey; the rest is nothing. Keep a stout heart, Grace.” “If there was any thought of failure in my heart now,” she said, in a low voice, as she took his arm, “I should only need to look at you, and to think of all you have done out of your love for me; that would be enough. You saved my life; you are going to give me back all that is to make my life beautiful.” : They moved away through the wet and windy streets. Neither of them noticed as they went that a man was following them—a man who had wait- ed near to where they first stood on the quay, and who had paused again in the shadows while they stood under the gas lamp in the archway. Now that they moved on again, the man, still keeping a certain distance from them, moved on also. He was a young-looking man, with a certain easy swing of the limbs and a quick fashion of glancing about him as he moved, as one might have done who was suspicious of danger or pur- suit. He twisted the ends of his small, dark mustache as he walked, and his dress had about it a certain eareless elegance that bespoke the dandy, even though the clothes he wore had seen considerable service. It was evident that he did not mean to lose sight of the old man and the girl; he followed them steadily, and evidently had no other object in view save that of seeing where they went. After walking quite a long way they came into narrower streets, with hum- bler-looking houses and shops in them. After much hesitation the old man stopped at last outside a modest look- ing coffeehouse, where certain dingy signs in the windows declared that beds were to be had and that frugal meals were also served. After con- sultation with the girl the old man thrust open the door and looked in; nodded back at her, and held the door open for her to enter. They went in, | sat down.. } and the man who had followed them drew nearer. The watcher scarcely hesitated a moment before he also thrust open the door and went in. They .were imme- diately in front of him, and were ev!- dently bargaining with a woman who kept the place; their backs were turn- ed toward the door, and they did not see him. Noiselessly he slipped into one of the boxes near the door and He heard a shuffling of feet as they, also, entered another box, and then the proprietress of the shop came towards him. He gave an order in a low tone and asked if he could have a bed. Yes, there were beds in plenty, the woman assured him; and he asked for as large a room as could be had. Then, after she had left him, he sat with his head pressed close against the wood- en partition, listening for the sound of voices. Locating them at last, he judged that the old man and the girl were two boxes away from him, on the same side of the shop; he waited patiently until the food that he had ordered was brought and until he knew that the other visitors had also been served; then, when the woman had again left the place, he crept quietly out of his box,carrying his meal with him, and slipped into the next. Then, leaving his meal untasted, he leaned his head against that other partition and listened eagerly. “Hawley Park, in the county of Sur- rey,” the old man was saying. “You see by this map, my child, that we are now in the county of Hampshire; Sur- rey adjoins it. We are ,as you know, too poor to ride; we must walk. It is strange and wonderful that you, who will ride in your carriage in so short a time and will have more money than you know how to spend, should now have to tramp the roads like a beg- gar But all that is coming to you will seem the sweeter by contrast.” “Yes, it will not be long now,” said the girl, with a sigh. “I want to think, now, that we are at last in England, over all that has happened; I want to be quite sure that what we are going to do—you and I—is for the best. In the first place, I am to hold the name by which I have been known on our journey; I am to forgetthat I hold any other name.” The listener on the other side of the partition held his breath to hear what was said. Yet it was only the mys- tery of the thing that touched him at the moment; he had no deeper inter- est in it than that. “Since you have called me ‘Father’ during all these weeks, it is well that you should take my name and use it,” said the old man, gently. “Enoch Flame never. had kith nor kin. of his own; you have crept into my heart, child, more than any daughter of my own could have done. So the name is yours to use as you will. Forget for a time that you ever had another.” “But I must keep my first name—it was my mother’s,” said the girl, softly. ‘We'll forget Grace Yarwood for a lit- tle time; for the present I’ll be Grace Flame—and your daughter.” “Your own father having disap- peared and left you to me, or to the world, as might have happened,” said the old man. “I always feared that, Grace; I always thought that he would seize an opportunity to get away and leave you.” * “You mustn’t blame him,” said Grace. “He wasn’t responsible, and the world had not treated him well. In some better time, when he is—is well again, he will remember and will try to find me. I wonder if he is still in Nevada?” The listener suddenly stirred and seemed to catch his breath; then he laughed softly to himself and settled again to listen. “How should he leave it?” asked Enoch Flame. “Your father has but one hope in life, my dear—to get suffi- cient opium to steal away his brains and his memories. He need not trav- el half over the world for that. Come, let us think of something else. You’re young, and you should look forward to the life that lies before you.” (To Be Continued.) PROVIDED FOR THE SHIFTLESS. A Dying Father Looked Out for His Worthless Sons. A little cross-firing was going on between the Texas and Arkansas law- makers the other day, when Senator Culberson said: “Arkansas is a suburb of Texas, and there are some powerful good people there, but about the most shiftless family I ever hcard of lived in that state. “The family belonged to the nu- merous Smiths. Old Daddy Smith was very sick, and a neighbor called to see about his condition. He found no one at home except a daughter-in-law, who informed him that the rest of the family had gone to ‘see their daddy buried.’ The neighbor was a religious man and inquired of the daughter-in- law if the old gentleman had made any preparations for eternity. “No, replied the woman, ‘nothin’ more than to give the two least boys a hoss apiece. He knew they’d never own one ef they had to work fer it.’” —Washington Times. He Would Be Left. “Huh!” grumbled Mr. Skinnay, who was being uncomfortably crowded by the jolly looking fat man in the trol- ley car, “these cars should charge by weight.” “Think so?” replied the fat man. “Then they wouldn’t think it worth while to stop for you.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
