 We heard the bullet sing Itimissed the man as he turned. It struck Fulano. Blood spirited from great artery. He foundered forward.
 Ham caught the bushes on the bank, pulled himself ashore, and clutched for the bridle.
 Poor Fulano! He flung his head up and paved the surface with a great spasm. He screamed death scream, like that terrible cry of anguish of his comrade martyred in the old heroic cause in Luggernel alley. We could see his agonized eye turn back in the socket. sending toward us a glance of farewell

 The writer we'll knows the wonderful
 power of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
 nerve remedy to produce the most restful, invigorating and refreshing sleep, besides
 making our nerves strong and steady as steel. It does not act like an opiate, but
 rather by it's strengthening and invigorat-

 cines. It is safe to give to infants and
 children of any age. All druggists keep it for $,1 .O0, and it is indeed God-send
 to sufferers from weak nerves and in- somnia.
 It is not one of the so-called patent
 medicines, but the discovery and prescrip-

 name famous as the most successful spec- ialist in the treatment of nervous and
 chronic diseases, and who can be con-
 suited free of charge, either by calling upon him or by writing him. 4

It's companion --and the light hardly permitted me to decipher it-seemed to be group of people seated on the grass and horse bending over them, glanced at these objects as my eye made the tour of the shop, but my head was filled with Shorts Cutoff and this grim dwarf before me.
 Presently Padiham laid down his file and took up a pair of. pincers from the confusion on his bench. He gave bit of wire twist, and as he did so looked at me as he said: "Now then, young man, what are you staring at? Do you want anything with me? Say SO, if you do. If not, don't stand idling here, but go about your business"

 "That may not be much to say. I've had so many shams brought to me in the way of Cutoffs that shall not spend time on yours unless it looks right at first glance"
 "You'll see with half an eye that this means something"
 "Show me your drawings: that will settle it''

 Presently he looked up, and fixed me with his square eyebrows, while he ex- amined me from head to foot again.
 ''Did you invent this?" said he.
 "No."
 "Umphl Thought not. Too tall. Who did?"

 "You can help me then. Come over tomorrow morning at seven. No; you're an idler, and I'll give you till eight. If you're not here by that time you'll find me busy for the day" | So saying, Padiham turned off to his work.

Gentleman Hugh and his daughter, little Lady Ellen. and the rough fellows and their rough wives had a hundred stories to tell of the beantiful, gentle child how she had been agood angel to them, and already a protectress to her father. In the office. too. of the coal mine we found traces of him under another name always faithful. honest, respected and a gentleman. It was interesting to have all his sad story confirmed, just as he told it to you the night of Jake Shamber- lain's ball, but it did not help our search. Then we enlarged it's scope and followed out every line of travel from Liverpool and to London, the great monster that draws in all-the prosperous and the ruined, the rich to spend and the poor to beg"
 "And all this while you have found no tracer said
 "One slight trace only" replied my friend; "enough to identify them disap- bearing among these millions of London. But understand, Wade," said Biddulph, "that we do not give it up. although we have found no clew." "Give it upw cried Brent with fervor. "I live for that alone. When the hope ends end"
 How worn he looked, with grief that's beauty's cankeri" Life was wasting from him, as it ever does when man pursues the elusive and unattained. When man like Brent once voluntarily concentrates all his soul on one woman, worthy of his love, thenceforth he must have love for daily food, or life burns dim and is a dying flame.

 "You must be prepared to be made a lion of by my mother and cousins. They know the history of Don Fulano as we'll as poet knows the pedigree of Pegasus. have brought tears to many gentle eyes with the story of his martyrdo,n for liberty"

 AN IMPORTANT, MATTER THAT OUGHT TO BE
 UNDERsToOD-wHAT HE HAS TO SAY
 ABOUT IT IN HIS ENTHUSIASTIC MANNER.
 A man well known ali over the world and whose name is a terror to criminals and evil doers everywhere is Robert Bruce, head and general superintendent of the great Bruce's American Detective Agency, which has its headquarters at 128 La Salle Street, Chicago.
 MT. Bruce is a great worker; nothing escapes his keen and active man, and like most men who are enterprising and tire less in their business, he has overworke ed his brain, and kept his nerves upon such strain and tension, that nervous difficult ties resulted. In fact he felt that relaxed, weakened and enel vated condition of mind and body which results in insomnia that sleepless, restless. wakeful and disturbed condition which unless arrested, so surely results in dire disaster to mind, brain and body.
 In chatting with the great detective, your reporter saw at 8 glance that it was with no invalid with whom he was talk ing. His bright eyes, fresh complexion and energetic manner showed at once that he was again in the best of heath. Nat urally the change in his condition became the subject of conversation.
 "I suffered from insomnia for eight years," he said, ''but three bottles of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy completely restored me. This remedy is
