CHAPTER VII.
The m

Mr.. William B%eriingtOn'S threat Of
informing the police Of Joseph Rad
stocks disappearance was only an idle
one, but it procured very stubborn
effects. In the first place, the stub
born. stony silence in which Cicely
heard it woke in him n more definite
suspicion than he had vet entertained
as to what had become of the treach-
erous old clerk. in the second. it re-
duced Cicely'S mind to Il state border
ing on insanity. Believing all he had
said quite simply, she dId not perceive
how impossible it was hat he should
bring the disgrace Of n criminal trial
upon one of his W name. The
words in Radstock's letter about a bill
of sale upon the furniture opened out
a new danger. and made him feel that
escape from discovery was becoming
impossible.
Unless
A new thought flashed into her brain.
The inner cellar had been closed up,
and it's existence had for many years
been unknown to the inhabitants of the
house. until Duke found it out by an
accident. He had discovered it, as
far as she knew. only to herself, Min
na, Algy, Leonard Harvey and Rad
stock himself. Out of those five wit
nesses three only remained to be reck-
oned with. Minna's silence she thought
she could see without rousing suspic-
ion; while Leonard and Algy were not
likely to come in contact with any,
one who could turn the knowledge to
dangerous account. If. then, Duke
coIld hide the entrance to the cellar
Just as it had been hidden before,
his crime might remain undiscovered,
even if the police should come, or if
the house should pass TO other hands.
Cicely resolved to make this sugges-
ton to her husband as o 70 as he came
home. She was expecting him every
moment. Ee was already late, in fact.
The anxious, unhappy wife could not
keep still: she wandered into the din
ing room, into the garden, restlessly
waiting, until she came upon Minna,
with a telegram open in her hand.
The girl looked disturbed. frightened.
You have had a telegram. too! Who
is it from? What is it?' asked ClCely.
But Minna was afraid to tell her.
The young wife looked so CHASTITY and
trembled sc much.

Even now the heavier share of the
burden seemed to be hers. Duke look
ed at her. and then his arms crept
round her neck, and his head fell, Ike
that of q naughty child seeking for
gjveness. with a nesting pressure
against her breast. For a few minutes
they were both quite silent, she re-
turning his caress with a passionate
tenderness quite foreign TO her. Then
he raised his head and put his lips
close TO her ear.
s.You do forgive me, don't you, Cice-
Iys"
At first she could not command her
voice TO answer him. 1t was she who
was passionate now. with a strength of
emotion to which his most vehement
transports were weak and cold.
"Oh, yes, yesy' she whispered. The
words seemed to bubble up from her
very heart, and almost to choke her
In their utterance.
Even at that moment Cicely was
astonished at the comfort her words,
her caresses, had the power to give
him.
They we're silent again for n long
time. with the dead, heavy silence OF
despair; untn they heard the servants
going about their morning work, n
the cries of tic children in the nursery
overhead. Then they reused them
selves, and realized, in a strange,
dreamy manner, that they must go
about the business Of the day as usual.
You will go to the city!" asked
Cicely.
Yes, yes" he answered, hastily,
springing up and preparing to go into
his dressing-room. Nothing Will have
leaked out yet"

A DOG WORTH HAVING.
He Knew What to DO When He Found
. Rather Coiled on His Masters Body.

I'll. McCloud, a shoe drummer OF
Portsmouth, o., relates a thrilling
story of adventure. For two DAYS he
was the guest of Mr.. Harry Biggs, son
of the proprietor OF the Biggs house,
at his Kentucky home, near Tygart
Greek. He took with him his gun and
fine thoroughbred Irish setter Frank.
1t was n fortunate suggestion which
caused him TO take the dog. for to that
noble animal he owes his life.
One afternoon McCloud and Biggs
strolled over to the woods near Tygart
Creek for n shot at a squirrel. The
dog was tied up ut the house. They
had been in the woods some time, when
young Biggs had occasion to return to
the house for something. McCloud
went UP Il ravine to n shady nook,
where he lay down TO sleep. How
long he slept he can't say. but the ter
ror of his awakening was beyond de-
scription. He awakened with the con-
scioasness of some weight upon his
breast. and, before he saw what it
was. his %nostrils were assaulted by a PEE
cnliar odor. CHANGING down Che was
lying on his back), The sight which
met his eyes well nigh petrilied him.
There, coiled on his breast, was a full
grown rattlcsnakc. 1t was sleeping
peacefully. and for some time, which
seemed ages to the Mortified a he
was almost afraid to breathe lest lie
should awaken it.
Presently Biggs returned and his
footsteps awakened the reptile, which
was Instantly head and tail erect
awaiting the attack. Blggs at once
saw the horror of the situation, but
was ut a loss what to do. He feared
to fire lest he might shoot his compan-
ion, and he also feared that if be didn't
kill the snake instantly it would dash
Its fangs into the PROSTATE man.
While both men were thus stupefied
with fear the bushes again parted and
another actor was on the scene. 1t
wa the dog. He at once saw his mas
ter's peril, and, c%rouching with his
belly almost on the ground, he slowly
crept toward the snake. The latter
watched every move of the dog. as il
1t knew the duel was to tho death. On
came the dog, creeping slowly as q
snail, then. when within live feet, with
n leap of almost lightninglike rapid
ity he was on the snake. The bound.
was 80 sudden that the snake had no
time to strike, and before the two men
could realize what had happened tho
reptile was torn to shreds. The two
men took the dog to the creek and
thoroughly washed his mouth, and. to
their JOY, found no scratches.
After The excitement had passed
McCloud sank in n faint, and was just
able to get home. The dog, in his
eagerness TO follow his master, had
broken his %fas,enings. 1t can be cas-
lily guessed that no money could buy
the dog now.-Sk. Louis Repnbkic.

WILp sneeP N csoRclA.
&ssieetsd Flocks which Have RIOS med
the Woods for Hundreds OF Years.

In the great piney woods OF the
south Atlantic states a peculiar race Of
sheep roam at large, almost rs wild
and uncared for as The famous SOUTH
srn @razor-back" hog. For centuries
these sheep have existed in parts Of
Georgia aud the gulf states, says the
N. Y. Ercnsng Post, and, by adapting
themselves to the climate, poor food
and inclement weather, they have sue
ceeded in surviving all the vicissitudes
OF q wild and %precarious life. They
are commonly called in the south "the
sheep of the piney woods; they have
no recorded pedigree nor even n breed
name. 1t is supposed, however, that
they were originally brought to Flor
ida by the Spanish adycnturers when
they first settled upon the present site
Of st. Augustine, and that at that time
they belonged to the tine-wooled mcr-
inc breed. Turned loose in the new
country, they gradually lost the char
acteristics of their breed and degener-
ated to their present state. They pos.
sess oven yet. in some respects the
characteristics of the merino sheep.
They have the same general form,
though less uniform. and wool that is
nearly as fine as tho p%ure-bred merino.
In the historical accounts of tho
carly Spanish visitors to Florida there
are records OF their bringing sheep
and other domestic animals with them,
and after hat time no subsequent
large importation of iine-wooleu sheep
to this region WIS ever heard of. Wild
sheep were known TO existin the south
in tbs days of Washington and Jcffer-
son, who endcavored TO improve their
condition by introducing fine breeds
from abroad. They recognized the
great advantages which the south of
fered for sheep %husbanlry, aud every
thing was done by them to establish
the business on u sound basis. With
the exception OF the low-lying regions
along the coast, the whole country
from the Potomac to the Gulf of Mex
leo offers advantages for sheep-raising,
and it was with the idea of rearing
countless herds in this section that
these early statesmen encouraged the
industry by writings, speeches and
practical demonstration. But the
south did not take kindly to Sheep
raising. King Cotton assumed COM
plete control and crushed out all other
phases of farming. Cotton and sheep
were not supposed to go together.
Sheep had to SO with grass and there
was no room for grass in tho great
cotton.growing states. The few sheep
In the south were consequently allow
ed to roam unframed and almost un-
cared for in tho great stretches of pine
woods. To-day they are found in
nearly MS primitive condition as they
were 100 years ago.

Surely If there are unhappy sufferers on
earth upon whom the angels look down in
pity it is people agonized with rheu-
nntism. They are in torment the year
round with little or no respite. Now.
there is no evidence to which publicity
has been given in behalf of Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs more concurrent and
convincing han that in behalf of its eff
cacy in incipient rheumatism. And since
rheumatism and rheumatic and simple
govt are among the most obstinate COM
plants to which this admirable remedy
is adapted, and since they all have a fatal
tendency to attack the vital organs, tho
ACCESSIBILITY of an early use of the Bittcrs,
when they manifest themselves, must be
apparent. Eticacious, and most signally
so, IRE the Bitters, too, in malucial dis
eases, kidney and bladder inactivity, con-
%stipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint and
