IX.

One evening, about fortnight later,
| stepped out of my Office for the double
purpose of enjoying pipe and stroll
in the open air. The hour was late, at
least for that community of early ris-
ing and early retiring, and few lights
were to be seen in any of The cluster of
farmhouscs. A faint CLEAN from one
of the upper rooms of the house across
the way showed that Mrs Loring was
wooing slumber under the protection Of
her night-lamp. She and her niece, bav-
ing arrived that day, were now in full
possession of their new quarters. Both
had stood the journey well. Mrs. Lor-
ing, in fact, was never more cheerful
than when on the wing. The invalid
had greeted me with effusion, while
Miss Gray had displayed cordiality
that was almost too full OF friendliness
and too lacking in self-conscioTsness to
please my fancy. Cheerful good-fel
lowship was, perhaps, all that had rea-
son to expect in her; yet it was very
flattering result of many a te4e-a-
tete in the moonlight of the tropics.
The night was clear, and, though
there was no moon, it was pleasant to
stroll along. reviewing the events of
our acquaintance and speculating upon
the effects of its renewal. | was fol-
lowing the path to the knoll, and so en-
crossed were my meditations that on
raising my eyes from the ground | was
surprised to find myself close to the
base of its landward slope. l was on the
point of turning back, when l heard
voice recognizable as Lamar's, which
seemed TO come from the northern
side of the little hill, at the base of
which, as has been set forth, was one
of the saltwater creeks. The words
were not to be distinguished, but his
tone gave evidence that the business
he was engaged in had nothing alarm
ing about it, although, from the hour
selected for carrying it on, it was likely
that he desired to avoid observation
II might be well to prove to him that
even at such a time and place he could
not be sure that some loiterer was not
about, and to give a practical illustra-
tion of the need of sentinel; at least
that was the excuse Iframed for advanc-
| ing. Cautiously / stole by the spring
! and up the ascent. On the dark surface
of the creek the stiN darker outlines of
| a boat could be made out. The craft
was moored to the rocks, to which a
| inan was transferring number of cases
and packages. a little way up the
slope, directing the operation, stood
| Lamar. Intent as he was upon the task
| in hand, his quick ear caught the sound
of my steps, and he turned toward me
| like flash.

SUFFERING SISTERS.
Curious Coincidence.
Nom Ule Express, Awora. M.

1.-TWO years ago. said Mrs. Harry
Rhodes, whose home is at No. | Blackhawk
Street, Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. "My
life was one OF misery because Of rheumatic
affections which the most skilled physicians
of this city were powerless to cure My
Affections were of sciatic nature which
affected not only my hips but both legs and
feet To such degree that did not dare TO
step upon the ground for fear OF bringing
on the most eXcruciating pains.
1.-The several physicians TO whom / ap-
piled were poweress TO aid me. and was
in "A very despondent condition and almost
without hope. When one day noticed q
testimonial In one OIL our daily papers from
a woman who had been cured OF rheumatism
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Sanders Il Sherer's drug store is just across
the street from my husbands place OF bust
ness, and asked him to call there and pur-
chase box ofpills, which he did.
"That first box of pills worked wonc ers
for me. ] might almost say that the first
half dozen produced a very noticeable ef-

.,the aid Of opiates, and wi h the second day
the pains grew less aud less until they de-
parted altogether, never TO return. l con-
tlnued TO take the pills. in the prescribed
doses, for several weeks when l found my
self entirely cured.
"My sister, Mrs. Bert Scott, whose home
was at Duluth, Minnesota, was troubled
Win tO
Her trouble was the principal reason for
the removal OF the family 10 Chicago, where
Mr.. Scott is In the plumbing business, and
their home Is now at 10 Teale Court. They
expected the atmosphere OF Illinois to as
sist in a cure wIich the physicians could
not bring about in the climate OF Superior,
but my sister became no better, with the
very best OF medical attendance, until
recommended DIR. Williams Pink Pills to
her AS in my case.they worked speedy
cure, and Mrs. Scott is now entirely free
from all rheumatic disorders, and she is as
conscientious as am in her praises OF the
remedy which has done so much 10 make the
lives Of two families far happier than they
were two Years ago"

"Yes; but it is not a telegraph. only
