"Lucia isl mean Miss Tramlay," said
Phil, In absent minded fashion-"and lots OF

Marge looked curiously at Pills averted
face and went down stairs. Phil remained
long enough to find that his mind was In an
utter muddle and that apparently nothing
wonld compose IL but another glimpse OF Lu
cha. AS supper was served soon after he
went down, his wish was speedily gratified.
From that time forward his eye sought her
continually, although he tried to speak again
to every one to whom he had been intro
duced. How he envied Lucia's father, who
was to escort the little witch homel How he
wished that in the city, as at Haynton, peo-
pie walked home from parties, and stood a
long time at the gate, when maid and man
were pleasantly acquaintedl
He saw Lucia 20 up stairs when the COM
pany began leave talking; he stood at the
foot Of the stair that he might have one more
glance at her. AS she came down she was an
entirely new picture, though none the less
charming, in her wraps. And-oh, blisslE

''See me to the carriage, Phil, and then

riage door, Lucia stepped in, but her train
could not follow of its own volition, SO Phil
had the Joy of lifting the rustling mass that
had the honor Of following the feet Of divin-
ity. Then he closed the carriage door re-
grctfully, but little hand kindly stole
through the window as Lucia said;
"Good night. Don't lrcot - send papa

The Chamber Of Torture

Is the apartment TO which the unhappy
sufferer from inhammatory rheumatism Is
confined. III, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that fine preventative, Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bltters, is used by persons of rheu-
matte tendency, much unnecessary suffering
is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and soda
tives, while having none but specific effect,
are yet very desirable at times. Yet can
they produce no lasting effect upon rheuma-
tisni, because they have no power to elimi-
nate from the blood the rheumatic virus.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does this, and
checks at the outset disease which, If al
lowed to gain Roadway, 1t is next to impos-
sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, Is q
disease with fatal tendency from its prone
ness to attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys-
pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner-
vousness are relieved by it.

Common Sense

Should be used in attempting to cure that
very disagreeable disease, catarrh. A cat
arrh originates in impurities in the blood,
local applications can do no permanent good.
The commOn-sense method of treatment is
to purify the blood, and for this purpose
there is no preparation superior to Hoods
Sarsaparilla. That this peculiar medicine
does cure catarrh is shown by the many
testimonials from people who have found
relief upon using 1t when all others had
failed. A book containing statements OF

cident Of the arrested drive on the avenue, he
hadsnot seen her since the evening when he
had raised her hand to his lips How tho
thought OF that moment sent the blood leap
ing to his own finger tipsl He had haunted
the avenue every afternoon, not daring to
hope that the carriage would again be stopped
In Its course, but that at least he might see
her passing face.
As quick as flash that day his eye, trained
In country fashion to first Identify approach
ing riders by THOR horses, had scanned the
animals that drew the carriage, so that he
might know them when next he saw them.
But again and again was he disappointed, for
spans on which be would have staked his repu-
tation as being the same were drawing car
riages that did not contain the face he sought.
He might have been spared many heart sink
ings, as well as doubts of his horse lore, had
he known that the Tramlays did not keep a
turn out, bat had recourse TO livery stable

lost In full sruition, was In the early arrival Of

crash, locked in deadly embrace. and upon tho floor there ensued Q terrible struggle. Each man put forth his best efforts, and, had the detective been fully we'll, he would have had but little diff. culty in mastering the other, for he was a man of wonderful physique, but the re- cent cowardly blow received from this self-same man had weakened his frame considerably. so that he had all he could do to equal the fierce endeavors made by Capt. Grant to overcome them.
 They managed in some unaccountable manner to gain their feet, and, like a couple of giants, swayed to and fro, as if they were two reeds bending in the breeze.
 All at once they went to the floor with great crash, and such was the force of their fall that they were separated, each being hurled in an opposite direction.
 When Capt. Grant managed to gain his knees, it was only to hear 8 sharp snap.
 The door had, moved by the violence of their actions, slammed shut.
 Remembering that it was spring lock, the man uttered cry full of horror, and. springing forward, attempted to open it, but the door remained fast. The spring lock had caught, and he himself had re- moved the key to the outside, thus seal ing his own doom, as it appeared.
 When the full consciousness of their position broke upon him, Capt. Grant uttered 0 low cry of horror, for his soul was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the doom he had thus cunningly brought upon himself.
 Hearing an exclamation of triumph from his enemy and recent adversary, he turned.
 The candle still burned feebly close at his hand, and he could see the detective half crouching on the floor, while pistol was in his hand.
 Capt. Grant was equal to the occasion, however, for with one> blow of his hand of the little compartment, causing dark ness to enSue of such denseness that neither could see the other.
 'sHold mani" cried the Captain, hoarsely; 'of what use are hostilities now2 we are bound to die together like rats in hole"
 What mean you, serpent?" came from the foreign agent, who was panting heavily.
 II mean that we are locked in here, and the old mill Is on fire. See, under the door even now you can see an in- creasing light. Listen, and you will hear the voices of the fire-fends. We are doomed!'
 ''My God! This is your work, devil!" ejaculated the detective, jumping up and vainly rattling the door.
 II acknowledge it, but I have been caught in my own trap" answered the miserable Captain.
 To their ears nowanQns low, nut tering sound, like fh1feasing thunder. 1t was the savage flames eating their way upward. roaring, dancing, and shooting wildly, this way and that, as they rapidly enveloped the whole of tho doomed building.

 Then q sudden fear assailed his heart what If the evidence of his crime had already been discovered?
 Whatever lay in his past, this man was not a coward, so far as brute courage was concerned, as has been already proven on different occasions, but this was the first time his soul had been cred with horror at the thought of the doom awaiting him should his crime be detected and brought homo to him.

 This was easily done, for a tree grew beside the building. and all that was nec- essary for him to do was to draw himself up among tho branches of this until he came on line with tho little window from whence the light proceeded.
 No sooner had the idea entered his head than he hastened to put it into exc cution.
 To climb the tree was an easy task, and in a very few minutes his head was on @ level with the window. When his eyes fell upon the occupant of the little chamber his form seemed to turn into ice. such was tho cold wave that shot through his frame, and from his lips. trembling with 8 sudden fear, there fell the words:

 He started on 0 wild run, leaping over holes and logs as though they were l almost nothing, and rapidly nearing the blazing mill, which with every passing the victim of tho flames. Now he seemed to understand the sub- tie power that had drawn him on, and in his heart he prayed, oh so earnestly, that he might yet be in time to save his darling.
 All thoughts of bitterness toward her had been swept from his heart as if by magic. He had the proofs of his inno- cence, but his words about throwing her l love from him were forgotten. On he dashed. It seemed as though he would never get there, and the old mill was now perfect pyramid of flames, roaring and leaping upwards as though in fiendish glee over the destruction o1 l the haunted building. The woods were now lighted up, and he could see his way better, so that he made better time, but his heart was full | of terrible fear lest he should arrive toe l late.

 When he reached her side he saw tha 1t was Mrs. Richmond, not Carol.
