Rnt now the fever was i'm Lali,s blood.

But now the fever was in Lali s blood. She did not care whether she lived or died. A high hedge formed the cul de sac. When she saw the horse stacking, she cut him savagely across the head twice with a whip and drove him at the green wall. He was of too good make to re- fuse it, stiff as it was. He rose to 1t magnificently and cleared it, but almost as he struck the ground squarely he staggered and fell, the girl beneath him. He had burst blood vessel. The ground was soft and wet The weight of the horse prevented her from getting free She felt its hoof striking ill it's death struggle, and once her shoulder was struck. Instinctively she buried her face ill the mud, and her arms cov cred her head.
 And then she knew no more.
 When she came to, she was in the carriage within the gates of Greyhope, and Marion was bending over her. She suddenly tried to lift herself, but could not. Presently she saw another face that of General Armour. It was stern, and yet his eyes were swimming as he looked at her.
 "Howr' she said to him. 'HowP' and faintcd again.

Vidall did not take pains to impress her with the fact that the matter occurred when he was almost a boy, and it was when her earnest inquisition had drawn from him, bit by bit, the circumstances of the case, and she had forgotten many parts of her examination service and to preserve an effective neutrality in tone, that she became aware he was speaking ancient history. Then it was too late to draw back.
 They had threaded their way through the crowd into the conservatory, where they were quite alone, and there, with only little pyramid of hydrangeas be- tween them, which she could not help but notice chimed well with the colur of her dress, he dropped his voice a lit tie lower and then suddenly said, his eyes hard on her, II want your permis- sion to go to Greyhope."
 The tone drew her eyes hastily to his, and seeing she dropped them again. Vidall had strong will, and, what is of more consequence, a peculiarly at tractive voice. It had vibration which made some of his words organlike in sound. She felt the influence of it. She said, little faintly. her fingers toying with Q hydrangea: II am afraid I do not understand There is no reason why you should not go to Greyhope without my permission.

 There is no medicine so often needed in every home and so admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is intended as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a week passes but some member of the family has need of it. A toothache or headache may be cured by it. A touch of rheuma- tism or neuralgia quieted. The severe pain of a burn or scald promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before infiam- nation sets in, which insures a cure in about one-third of the time otherwise re- quired. Cuts and bruises should receive immediate treatment before the parts be- come swollen, which can only be done when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes se- rious. A troublesome corn may be re- moved by applying it twice a day for week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable time saved or 8 pain in the side or chest relieved without paying a doctor bill. Procure a 30 cent bottle at once and you will never regret it.

an was placed at the head Of the new
department with a salary OF 81, 900 a
year, and entrusted with the negotia-
tion of postal treaty between Japan
and the United States. A few months
later he was back in Washington as
the envoy OF the Japanese government,
treating on equal terms with the man
who had dismissed him from his clerk
ship for incompetency. The treaty,
which he negotiated with skill and
diplomacy, proved entirely satisfactory
to all concerned. Bryan remained in
the service OF the Japanese govern
ment for some fifteen years. He then
returned to the United States a rich
man, and now lives in one OF the finest
residences in Washington. He is still a
young man and has years enough be-
fore him to develop half dozen more
great ideas, but it is interesting to
conjecture what his career might have

postoffice department.
Peter F. Donohue is now chief pay
master of the Erie railroad. Twenty
years and more ago he was the office

be admitted to his Office in the Grand

John Morrissey, the prize fighter, put
in an appearance. Morrissey and Fisk

Bour q Cochran has for several
years past been recognized as one of
the great orators of the time, but in
the early SOS he was q struggling law
yer, unknown and without clients. He
owed his first start toward success to
being taken for another lawyer of the
same name. In those days Cochran
had small, stuify office at ITS Broad
way. One of his professional neighbors
was Charles Strauss. The young men
saw much of each other, and Strauss
became convinced that Cochran had
in him the making of a great criminal
lawyer. One day Strauss was en-
ployed to defend man charged with
receiving stolen goods. The case was
desperate one, and, in order to escape
the onus of defeat and at the same
time test his theory regarding his
friend, Strauss engaged Cochran to try
it. Cochran accepted the offer and
made careful and energetic prepara-
tion for the trial. Judge Cowing who
presided at the trial, was profoundly
impressed by the splendid presence
and diction of the attorney for the de-
fendant Cowing had never seen Cock
ran before, but when he heard him
called by name, he at once addressed
him as Judge"
"He thinks you are Judge Cochrane,
of Westchester," whispered Strauss to
his colleague.

cool reply. II am glad TO be mistaken
for so good man. Some day Judge

John w. Goff is name now as we'll
known In New York as that of Cochran.
Goff came from Ireland poor boy
twenty-five years ago, and found en-
ployment as a porter in Fl. B. Claims
dry goods store. He attended to his
duties at the store in the daytime and
spent his evening hours at q night
school. One day an errand took him
Unto one of the local court-rooms. He
sat down and heard lawyer sum up q
case. Then he said to himself: "Why
can't I be a lawyer?" Within an hour
he had decided that he could and would
be one. That afternoon, when his days
duties were ended, he borrowed some
law books and set to work. His room
mate, young man named Fitzgerald,
decided that he, too, would study law.
So they set to work together, toiling
days and studying nights. Charles
