regarding the brightly polished, clearly
lettered announcement for fully ten
minutes. Then he rang the bell, and
an answering peal came from just the
other side of the panel, But no one

DIR. McFarlane could learn little from
the seamstress or her sister, beyond
the suspicion that their neighbor upon

1t was not the seamstress, but the
seamstress' sister that volunteered
this information.
'But he sent US in these, added the

It was 6 o'clock in the evening when
DIR. Macfarlane came stumbling up Bill
lian's stairs. The door stood slightly
ajar, and there came from the other
side a~r0nfused murmur of voices, a
yelping of dogs, with sundry other
sounds which even the doctors trained
ear could not distinguish. But, above
all, there rose fitfully the shrill cry of
an infant. Upon hearing this last the
doctor pushed the door with the brass
plate open, and entered unceremon-
iously. He found himself in a large
unfinished room, which, when he
stepped within, seemed at first nearly
full of people. 1t was brightly enough

Four Men Probably Lost.

New York. Jan. Sour men. the
crew of the schooner Eaglet. have
probably been lost. The little vessel
was sighted on Dec. % by the British
steamship Mascot. which reached here
to-day. The Eaglet was pounding dis
masted in a heavy sea and appeared
to have been through a terrific storm.
Crouching together on her after deck
were the four men. One of them was
waving a British flag. To a and
lower a boat from the Massoit meant
the certain death to those who would
venture into it. AS night was coming
on the captain of the Mascot signalled
that he would stand by until morning.
When morning dawed. the Eaglet had
disappeared. Nothing has been heard
of her since.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in ali it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the mcdica! fraternity. Caterrh being
a constitutional disease requires a con-
stitutional Treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Ut
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature IN doing
its work.. The proprietors have SO much
faith in Its curative powers that they
