You are now the mistress of a very large fortune, and as there is no near relative to advise you, I hope you won’t think me an interfering old man if I presume to offer you my coun- sel.” “Ah, you know I do not think that, Mr. Dodson; I am too grateful to you for all your kindness to me, but I—I can trust Godfrey. I love him with my whole heart, and I am sure I could know no happiness without him.” “A most estimable young man, and I do not forget that he wished to marry you when you were presumably the penniless Mary Brent; but now that you are Lady Mary Loremuir, and a wealthy heiress——” “You surely don’t think that the money will make any difference? If I thought it would rob me of one hour of Godfrey’s love I would refuse to touch a single penny. No, no, Mr. Dod- son, you must not counsel caution, or even hint at delay. Wé have been kept so long apart that I am counting the minutes, even the seconds, and longing for them to pass swifter and bring him to me.” 4 “Ah, well, well, then I will say no more. I suppose you will be married as soon as possible?” “Well, of course I cannot say that, Mr. Dodson, although I do not see any cause for delay. It is not the same as if I had known my father very well. I saw so little of him that he was practically a stranger, and now that I am alone in the world——” “Yes, yes, you are right; it is bet- ter that you should have some one to protect you, and I know of no one more worthy to undertake the task than Godfrey West, so I will say no more except to hope you will both be very happy, to make up for the trials you have both had lately. Have you seen anything of Mr. Brawn?” “No; he has been missing for two days.’ Audrey is getting very anxious about him; he is determined to find Montagu Winton, and she is afraid of what will happen if they meet.” “Up to now he appears to have made good his escape; but what a po- sition for a man to be in—a goodly in- heritance awaiting him, and the rec- ord of his misspent past rendering him afraid to claim it! But who are these coming across the lawn? If I mistake not it is Mr. Griffin and— Godfrey West, so, as I have some busi- . Griffin, perhaps you will excuse an old fogey if he makes way for a visitor more attractive.” As Mr. Dodson stepped out on to the lawn Mary made a forward move- ment as if to follow, but drew back shyly as Godfrey came toward her alone. “Godfrey!” ‘That was all she said, but it sufficed. With the blush of joy upon her cheeks, her loving eyes brimming with tears, her bosom heaving with a tumultuous emotion, and with arms outstretched, the passionate love of her heart went out to the man from whom she had been parted so long, and with a sigh of contentment she surrendered her- self to his strong embrace. “My sweetheart, what happiness it is to be with you once again after the misery of such a long parting! It has been a dreary time, dearest, but it is all over now, and I am not going to lose sight of you again. You are mine, now and always.” “I have always been that, Godfrey, even when your enemies presented you to me in the light of a guilty man. I am sorry, but I was led to doubt you once.” “And yet when you doubted me ‘you. were prepared to sacrifice your life’s happiness in an effort to save me. I have to repay you that, Mary.” “Jt is sufficient for me to know that our future is to be spent together, God- frey, and that all doubts and = suspi- cions are now dead forever. As Miss Dauncey says, a few unhappy days are soon forgotten when the cloud shows its silver lining.” “And if it lies in my power, sweet- heart, there will be no more clouds in your future life, but your days will pass in joy and love, without a sign of trouble to mar your happiness.” While these two were arranging their future with the optimistic con- viction that the power for command- ing joy or misery lay entirely in their own hands, Mr. Dodson was gravely conferring with Mr. Griffin at the oth- er end of the lawn. “It might have been possible, Mr. Dodson, with the assistance of Lady Mary, to have shielded this man Win- ton, in some measure, from the con- sequences of his guilt, but as much graver circumstances have arisen I fear that it will be beyond our power to save him.” “What further villainy has come to light to besmirch the name of Lore- muir?” “Jt is the gravest of all crimes, and one that carried a death penalty.” “Not murder?” “Iam afraid so. The man Ham- mond, now in custody, with some idea, The Empire’s Dream Amazing Adventures of a Gang of Thieves Who Stole a World-Famous Dia- mond of Fabulous Wealth. I suppose, of mitigating his sentence, made a statement in which he impli- cated. his accomplices in the robbery of the ‘Empiré’s Dream’ this Winton and another man named Percy Twist, and, furthermore, he gave information that Winton was in hiding at Notting- ham.” “And has he been found?” “Not yet; so far he has escaped, but we have discovered the body of Percy Twist.” “The body!” “Yes; as soon as I had Hammond’s statement I proceeded to Nottingham, and after an exhaustive search I found a lonely cottage on the outskirts of the town. The kitchen of this cottage was in a dusty, dilapidated condition, as it had not been occupied for months, and on the _ hearthstone I found the body of the man Twist.” “Murdered?” “There was a large wound over the right temple, there were thumb marks on the throat, and the base of the skull was*batted in. Suth injuries could not have been self-inflicted.” “But how do you connect this mur- der with Lord Loremuir?” “J will not insult the title by using it in connection with this man, but Winton is known to have fled to Not- tingham, and after my discovery I made inquiries as to whom the cottage belonged.” “Ah! And you found?” “] found that the owner was a man named Jasper Garlick.” “Ah!” “And Jasper Garlick, as we know, is the name used by Montagu Winton to cover up his villainies.” “And he has escaped?” “For the moment, yes, but he can- not be at large for any length of time. Half an hour before we visited the cot- tage there was a very heavy shower of rain, the first for some weeks, and leading from a shed at the back of the cottage we found, in the mud, the tracks of a motor car, and that proved conclusively that he had not got more than twenty minutes’ start.” “And yet he escaped?” “Ah! I do not know that yet. I have placed a pretty strong cordon in j every direction, and the only chance for him is that he made good use of his time at the start, and got beyond it before I could act. But in any case I do not see how he can possibly, get away. All the seaports are watched, and his description has been circulat- ed everywhere.” “Ah, well, I can feel nothing but pity for so misguided a man; and I do not know whether to hope for his es- cape or wish for his capture. A series of accidents gave him the title, but only his own folly has beggared him of its enjoyment.” “That is true. But here comes our missing friend, I think.” “Joe Brawn—so it is! What a tow- er of strength he does look!” “Yes. I never met a man of such tremendous physique corgbined with such simplicity of manners and kind- ness of heart. A mixture of the lion and the lamb; but from the look of him now I should think the lion was particularly rampant.” And as Joe Brawn came toward them there appeared to be considera- ble truth in Mr. Giffin’s remark. He strode forward with his peculiarly striking gait, his head thrust for and-his long red beard sweeping the huge breadth of his chest, but the light in his eyes, usually so kind and benevolent, now blazed with the fierce gleam of an avenger. “Spre, ah’ ut’s glad I am to find ye here, Mr. Griffin; an’ is ut true what I hear about that scallawag?” “If you mean that Winton is wanted for the murder of Percy Twist it is quite true, Mr. Brawn. But where have you been to for the last day or two?” “Sure, an’ I’ve been lookin’ fer bon- ny Kate Dauncey, faith, aye. I heard that the little woman was botherin’ her pretty head about this no-account man, Winton or Garlick or whatever ye call him, an’ runnin’ risks herself in a silly endeavor to save his worth- less skin, an’ Joe Brawn thinks too much o’ bonny Kate ter let her run herself into trouble—aw, yis, sure.” “And did you find her?” “Faith, I got tidings of her, an’ she’s dashin’ her pretty little head agin a stone wall, just as I thought she would be doin’; but me brave scoundrel has paid out the length of his rope, sure, aye, an’ ut’s not a woman he’s got to deal with this time, faith, no.” “What do you mean?” “Sure, an’ I mean that the long reck- oning between Jasper Garlick an’ me- self is comin’ up for settlement this afternoon, faith, aye; an’ ut’s not Joe Brawn as’ll treat him as a babby, aw, no.” “You mean that you expect to find Winton this afternoon?” “That’s true for ye. Joe Brawn’ll have his hands on him in a few hours —aw, yis, sure.” “But, Mr. Brawn, let me beg of you; this is a matter for the poltce, and it is no occasion for the settlement of private differences. Let me persuade you to leave this to the proper author- ities.” “Sure, an’ did ye ever hear o’ a bull- pup lettin’ go ut’s holt when once ut’d got ut’s teeth fixed? Ye mean kindly, Mr. Griffin, an’ I take your words as they are meant, faith, aye, but I’ve just come from the bedside o’ me lit- tle Audrey, an’ if her persuadin can’t move me no one else need try, an’ that’s true. Ye’re two bachelor men, I'm thinkin’, an’ ye can’t understand the feelings o’ a rough-natured chap like Joe Brawn. When my dear wife died, heaven bless her, our little baby Audrey was left to the care of her daddy. I was a rough, wild chap in those days, when law an’ order, as ye call ut, was kept by the business end of a gun, but the bonny face an’ the pretty prattle o’ my little Audrey kept her daddy straight when he was most minded to go wrong, an’ that’s so, faith, aye; an’ ye can believe me when I tell ye that, though we lived among the scum of the world, me little Au- drey was treated like a queen, with never a rough word to sound in her pretty ears until we got a gentleman amongst us—save us from all such, says I—an’ that gentleman was Jasper Garlick. Me little Audrey has just been tellin’ me all the sufferin’s she has gone through on account o’ this man; an’ if I was before inclined to pass him on to ye for punishment, Mr. Griffin, ye can take ut from me that Joe Brawn’s of a different mind now, faith, aye.” “You are running a great personal risk, Mr. Brawn; at least let me ad- vise you tod take somebody with you.” “Faith, no; Joe Brawn’s quite alone in this—no one is going to get into trouble on my account, for sure, no. I see me friend Godfrey an’ his bonny little lass over there, an’ ut’s a favor I’ve got to ask of him—aw, yis, sure.” He greeted Mary and Godfrey with the tender solicitude of a father, and then took Godfrey on one side, where they conferred for a few minutes. “You can have the motor car, with pleasure; but I wish you would allow me to come with you.” “Faith, no, Godfrey, me lad; Joe Brawn’s in this alone, an’ ye’re other- wise occupied with your bonny little sweetheart. Sure, an’ I shouldn’t want the car at all, but I’m afraid that little Katie’ll be getting into trouble all through the kindness of her heart in tryin’ to help this scoundrel to es- cape the clutches o’ the law, but ut’s not Joe Brawn he’ll get away from, faith, no.” * * * * * With sweat-grimed face and blood- shot eyes Montagu Winston drove his car at the furious pace of a man pos- sessed. Tortured by the terrors of his guilty mind and an indescribable dread of the thing he had left behind at the cottage at Daybrook, he seemed filled with the fury of a maniac, and continually glanced backward along the road as if in dread of vengeance overtaking him. Through the villages and quiet ham- lets he rushed the car, heedless of the cries of the terror-stricken inhabitants or authoritative commands to stop. Murder was behind him, and a possi- ble safety in front. Could he but reach London and see Kate Dauncey before the knowledge of his crime got abroad it was likely that he could yet effect his escape. On, on, faster and faster. The miles slipped by steadily, and the fury of his fear increased. Nearer and nearer and nearer he got to London, and then, having to stop to attend to the wants of his car, he seemed to re- gain some slight possession of his senses. Arriving in London he proceeded more cautiously, and concealed his ter- ror-stricken face as much as possible in the collar of his coat. Along the high-road, through Greenwich, on to Woolwich, and then he looked back | ti and almost shrieked with fear. Another motor car was following him, and the driver was Joe Brawn. The red giant, sitting in his Seat with his shoulders bent and face grim set, was to Winton as if the very demon of vengeance was in pursuit. (To Be Continued.) A REMARKABLE BLAST. Takes Weeks of Preparation and Hun- dreds of Pounds of Powder. One of the methods of quarrying granite is to dislodge a huge sheet from the surface of the formation through the medium of a powder mine. ‘A. large perpendicular shaft is first blasted to a depth of about thirty feet. At the bottom of this and radiating horizontally, like the spokes of a huge wheel, long holes are drilled. ‘The extremities of these holes, says Popular Mechanics, are then shot with light charges of dynamite in order to create chambers large enough to re- ceive large quantities of black powder. This takes weeks of ever increasing charges. ‘Then the final charge is loaded. The now huge chambers at the extremities of the spokes are packed with hun- dreds of pounds of powder, numerous electric wires attached, and the whole mine tamped with fine mat rial. A mighty roar and rumble in the bow- els of the earth and a huge sheet is detached from the ledge. Goose Sentries. “Silly goose’ is an expression which should be used by the extremely ig- norant alone. No bird of my acquaint- ance,” says J. Cyril Crowley, “requires more patience to shoot with gun or camera, especially the latter. When feeding you will find flocks varying in size on open ground, and nearly al- ways on such ground that a stalk is impossible. “On the outskirts of these flocks are sentries with heads erect, eyes and ears alert, the slightest sound or movement and you are detected—true descendants from the ancient preserv- ers of Rome. ‘A man was denying that he had told alie. “I had no object in telling a lie,” he said—an intimation*that he would have lied had there been an incentive. What is Pe-ru-na? Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna asa great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca- tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, isa weakened condi- tion of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has. been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific rem- edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be im-' proved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLIN- SONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. » From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Manufactured by Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, Cofumbus, Ohio.
