Mrs. Northup' s Lodgger

 Now that help was at hand Edith sud- denly felt strength flow back into her trembling limbs and courage come into her heart. She set off with Harry Ash ley in advance of the others after she had given him an inkling of the situation.
 q don't know who she is; am a stranger in Little6eld. I found her near the brook, lying under great pine tree. She was then in convulsions, but made me understand she had been poisoned by eating toadstools."
 They found the old woman just where Edith had left her under the oak, still upconscious, and looking the image of death. Miss Ashley bent over the thin worn old frame with pitying tenderness. "I do believe, Harry, said she, Git is old Celestina Rivers. She always has been queer and poetical, and a little wrong, 1 fear, in the head. She must have strayed off in the woods and perhaps lost her way"
 Two of the young men had made a support with their arms to carry the sick woman down to the Ashley house, while third set off on a run for the doctor.
 Edith, who had now twisted up her vagrant locks and put on her hat, pro- posed to go and look for the old lady's belongings she had been forced to leave by the brook, and Harry Ashley and his sister followed her through the thicket.
 ''It was awfully plucky of you," said Harry, giving the young girl beside him on opoD Ionk of o,S ,oiro tioD sGto hr;not tba old lady out of the woods"
 "She is very light" responded Edith, ''and I am young and strong. I should not have felt her weight on open ground" :"
 q remember all about old Celestina Rivers now," said Fanny Ashley. "She's a clergyman's daughter and comes of a good family, but has lived alone many years. I know the ladies of the benev- olent society tried to get her to enter the Old Ladies' home. but she is very queer and obstinate. l remember hearing her called the literary Miss Rivers when was a little girl. She wrote 8 great many verses to the moon and stars, but I don't suppose people ever cared to buy herpoetry."
 Edith's face flushed slightly. It tseemed she had helped to rescue literary sister and instantly she thought of her own old age, and seemed to see herself a creature of vain dreams, living alone with her cat like poor old Celestina. They had come to the pine tree by the brook, and Edith picked up the MS. vol ume with a kind of lingering tender ness. She meant to keep possession of it, and restore the precious relic to it's owner if she should recover without all lowing profane eyes to scan poor old Celestina's verses.
 " ''Hellor' said Harry, as he came across the luncheon basket and picked it up. "Here are two soda crackers. I fear the old lady must have eaten the toadstools for nOurishment."
 ''No one ever goes hungry here in Lit tlefeld," said Miss Ashley with cheerful confidence. ''Such thing was never known"
 People may not die absolutely of hunger" returned Harry, "but suspect there are cases of slow and genteel starvation, and it looks as if the poetess was one of them"

SUDDEN DEATHS disease is by far the most frequent cause of sudden death, which in three out of four cases is unsuspected. The symptoms are not gen orally understood. These are: a habit
 of lying on the right side, short breath, pain or distress in side, back or shoulder, irregular pulse, asthma, weak and hungry spells, wind in stomach, swelling of ankles or dropsy, oppression, dry cough and smothering. Dr. Miles illustrated book on Heart Disease, free at w. D.

CHAPTER III.

! U
 "Kou see IhaUe hunted you doac1..''
 The young people returned to the Ashley mansion to find that Celestina
 had been removed by the doctors order
 to the Littlefeld hospital, and there was
 good hope of her recovery. They seemed
 to have grown quite intimate in this 1 half hour of intercourse: Fanny Ashley had frank, winning manners. "How strange it seems," she said to Edith,
 "that we do not even know your name,
 and you are probably unacquainted with
 ours. I am Fanny Ashley, and this is my brother Harold. As our acquaint- ance has begun so romantically, am sure it ought to continue. do hope you
 will let me come and see you.''
 "But l am a stranger in Littlefeld, Miss Ashley and shall remain only few ! weeks, or months"
 ''So much the more reason why should see you as often as possible while you do remain" .e. Edith looked embarrassed. She thrust out her shabby shoe from under the skirt of her old gown. The sight of that shoe and of her ragged gloves ought to have told Miss Ashley the acquaintance she sought was impossible. "I live i'll a part of Littlefeld you may not know anything about-Ford's alley, near the railway. lodge there with Mrs. North up.- If you cared to call of course shall be pleased. My name is Edith March. , "Ford's alley?' and Fanny looked at her brother Harry. ''Of cotrse,' said he, with alacrity. ''It is that little place off Grove street, running down to the station. The Northups live in the house with the pretty garden. I know North up, conductor on the Applicable line, and 8 right good fellow"
 Fanny opened her eyes with grave look of surprise. Where on earth had Har- ry picked up all this information about the Northups? Edith managed to escape rather abruptly, although she saw in Harry Ashley's eyes that he had intend ed to offer her his escort as far as the town. It was Tate twilight when Edith reached home, and she felt too nervous and excited to set to work as usual in the evening hours. She remained a long time in the dark watching the stars come out ill tho sky through her high window and living over the strange events of the afternoon. Poor old Celes- tinas book of poetry lay in her lap, and she touched it with a sense of pity. She had, planned to go to the Littlefeld hos pital and inquire after the sick woman the first thing in the morning. Then her thoughts turned to young Ashley and his sister, whom she could not but -----------<4.~--.--4A-------.
 A WONDER WORKER Frank Huff man, young man of Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been under the care of two prominent physicians, and used their treatment until he was not able to get around. They pronounced his case to be consumption and incurable. He was per- suaded to try Dr. Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, and at that time was not able to walk across the street without resting. He found, before he had used half of dollar bottle, that he was much better; he continued to use it, and is to-day enjoying good health. If you have any throat, lung or chest trouble try it.
