The place where he had left her was
in secluded part of the park. She had
ordered her coachman to drive on and
return in an hour. When he came
back he found her seated on branch
under the fatal tree. He drew rein,
and was surprised that she took no no.
tice of his presence.
{" l am here, my lady"
No answer. Then the me- ial sprang
from the carriage and approached his
mistress. Was she asleep? Did she
recline in that awkward fashion on the
seat? What is that bright red, red
stream, dripping from her bosom? And
that stilletto? Why is she holding it
in full sight of whoever might pass?
The servant stood appalled, in his own
weak way. A lark scared up from it's
lowly nest and went singing skyward
until lost in light. A serpent thrust
its head out of a bank of violets, Kissed
and withdrew. And still the servant
stood ppalled-speechles to
understand. Suddenly his arm was
seized from behind and he turned TO
confront man in the garb of monk
"a man whose eyes glowed with ma
niacal glare. 1t was Pierre.
"Deadl" he shrie ked. dead, and
doomed forever and foreverl Oh, had
she but waited few moments, would
have come back to her, but now it is
too late-too latel Lost-lost-forever

splendor on the Wisconsin coast two
centuries ago, and standing on the bluff

earnest advice for the tired out, the weak,

fully say that l have found DIR. Greene's
Nervura an infallble remedy. 1 was led
into using it by seeing it in daily use in the
families Of my friends, and can unhesitat-
ingly recommend it, from my own expert
ence, to all as thoroughly reliable remedy
for neuralgia and nervous diseases of all
kinds"
1t would certainly seem that after such
an endorsement by lady so popular and
so widely known, no one who suffers in the
least from i'll health could hesitate for
moment to take her advice and seek the
cure which is sure and positive by using
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve

scripton of the most successful specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases, DR..
Greene, Of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.
He has the largest practice in the world, and
this grand medical discovery is the result of
his vast experience. The great reputation of
Dr. Greene is guarantee that his medicine
will cure, and the fact that he can be con-
suited at any time, free of charge, personally
or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the
beneficial action OF this wonderful medicine.
