was given many blood remedies without
relief, and treated by the best doctors.
He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores on his neck increased
in size, and were source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood diseases.
AS soon as his system vas under the ef
feet of the medicine, the sores began to
get better, and in eight days were COM
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on crutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his crutches, for he had no further
use for them; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys-
TEN, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was permanent one,
as no sign of the disease has returned
for ten years.
S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and
promptly reaches all deep-seated and
obstinate blood diseases, it matters not
what other treatment has failed. It is
the only remedy which acts on the cor
rect principle of forcing the disease from
the system and getting rid of it perrna-
nently.
S. S. S. is sure cure for Scrofula,
Cancer, Catarrh, Eczema, Rheumatism,

CHAPTER Y.
r,uE TWO Girls

Virginia Lewis, though living in
New England, would never be mistaken
for a native of that section. She lacked
the phlegmatic temperament of the peo-
pie about her, notwithstanding the fact
that she had been reared among them.
Her environment had undoubtedly af-
fected her character to the extent that
outwardly she moved, spoke and acted
like her neighbors. But there was GER
tain suppressed emotion, always distin-
guishable, however we'll controlled,
that bespoke birthplace in warmer
cline. However mildly she might ad-
dress her friends, and there We're few
of gentler speech. the slightest antaeo-
nism betrayed by any one present would
be met with an instantaneous answer
ing fash of her lustrous dark eyes,
which betokened danger If the subject
were pursued. Not one, not even those
most dear to her, had the courage to
take liberties of conversation or of act
with Virginia Lewis. Nevertheless, she
was the best beloved and most popular
young oman in the township. Half
the young men the country round wpro
her admirers, ready to become obedient
servitors in exchange for friendly nod.
Rarer still, she had no enemies among
the women folk.
She was not beautiful, yet by many
called so. l think this was because Of
the marvel Of her eyes, which, always
brilliant and ever restlessly moving. US

city, where the crowded streets offer
ready opportunities for hiding.
As Virginia had only few minutes
start of the detective and walked at q
moderate gait, Mr.. Barnes caught sight
Of her just as she began to cross the
bridge. As she passed over it he noted
that she was attracted by something,
for she stopped. looked over the rail
and then around her in every direction.
Mr.. Barnes was glad that he had found
q chance to assume some sort OF dis
guise, as there was no way Of avoiding
her gaze. In a moment she went on,
and when he reached the bridge he saw
at once what had aroused her caution.
It was the sight Of her own boat, which
Burrows had used to reach the place.
As she knew that she had left it up the
stream the night before, its presence at
this landing must have been sufficient
to indicate to her that she was being
followed, for she had evidently chosen
the time for her errand when she knew
the detectives had gone of exploring
near the river bank. 1t was easy for her
to guess that her departure from the
farm had been observed and that her
own boat had brought spy after her.
Mr.. Barnes was disappointed that she
should have thus been placed upon her
guard. She would now almost certainly
not post her letter at the Office. She
walked ON about 100 yards beyond the
bridge, and from the alert glances
which she cast about her it was plain
that she was looking for the detective,
Of whose presence she felt assured. She
passed the postofiice, and going little
farther entered q house on the opposite
side Of the road. Mr.. Barnes did not
follow, because there was nothing to be
gained. She was beyond his reach for

vel exclaimed:

"You will go back with me?" Mr..
Barnes was much surprised at this sud-
den change.

to pursue. Yet l had reasons that
seemed to me at the first moment of my
surprise to be unanswcrable and which
led to my decision. I am now ready and
anxious to accompany you

ly to determine whether this were
genuine or an assumed manner. He waa
puzzled.

sideration. I will take you back as

''As you please. 1t matters not, SO

Mr. Barnes and Marvel left Ports
mouth Oh the first train available and
reached Wadley's Falls the next morn
ing. While on the train Mr.. Barnes
found an opportunity to be alono III the
smoking car long enough to piece to-
gether the fragments OF tho lct;cr which
he had picked up when thrown away
by Marvel. With mucilago which ho
had procured at Portsmouth he pasted
each piece to another sheet 20 that
finally the letter was once more legible,
It read as follows
After the cvenls of last night il is best thai
you leave the country. Do so without delay
1t would be madness to think Of marriage NOW

After studying this for long timo
Mr.. Barnes was forced to admit that
the whole affair was as great mystery
as ever.

Seeing that nothing was to be accom-.
plished in this way, Mr. Barnes sought
the cabin, hoping even yet to persuade
Marvel that his best course was TO 40
company him, since if he were guilty
he could not hope to escape extradition,
which would be very simple, his desti-
nation being known, while if innocent
it was his duty to return and assist in
clearing up the matter, thus removing
all doubt.
He found Marvel sitting where he
had left him, staring vacantly before
him. He was SO absorbed in thought
that tho detective was obliged to touch

the present, and having seen him be-
hind her may have entered friends
house merely to observe him as he went
by, being suspicious Of strangers. He
therefore went into the saloon where he
had met the squire that same morning.
If Virginia was watching him, it would
perhaps disarm her suspicion of him,
since it was q natural place whereat
ono dressed az he was might stop. Fur
thermore, being near the postoffice, he
could watch that place and see II she
mailed her letter herself or by proxy,
sending some one from where she was.
He was scarcely within the doorway be-
fore he became aware Of the presence OF
Tom Burrows, who was seated near the
window and evidently watching the
postoflice. Satisfied, therefore, that
there was no immediate need for him
to do so also, and noticing that the
place was more than ordinarily crowd
ed and that the inmates were in deep
conversation over some very absorbing
topic, which he at once guessed must
be the murder, Mr.. Barnes moved to
the back Of the store and mingled with
the loungers there.
Almost the first person whom he no
ticed was Will Everly, the young man
with whom he had had the brief con-
yersation in the earlier part Of the day.
He was still stanchly defending his
friend Marvel.
II tell you, Harrison" he was say
ing. "it is wrong in you to accuse Wal
ter Of this thing when you know very
we'll that he has not been in this neigh
borhood since the night Of that party,
when he and Lewis had the spat"-
'Spat? That's mild way ter put 1t
when he tried ter shoot the old man."
The speaker was the man who had given
the information about the snow. "But
I say. Everly. I don't exactly accuse
Marvel l merely say it's bad business
for him, seein as how he threatened ter
do this very thing"
"Well, what il he did2 A threat
when O man is mad is a very different
thing from actually committing muir
der. As to that. why, Lucas threatened
him too"
"why, Of course, hope Marvel will
come out all right. He's fine fellow,
and like him. It's lucky thing the
squire had them detectives right on the
spot. They'll clear mp matters mighty
quick, reckon.
Whatever they do, they won't find
that Walter is in this ugly business.
can prove that he was not in town any
way"
"How kin you do that?"
Mr.. Barnes became interested at once.
"Why, have letter from him this
morning from Epping."
"Boshl What does that amount ter!
That's only five miles off. "
Mr.. Barnes noticed that Everly spoke
louder than was absolutely necessary.
and as he glanced toward Burrows oc-
casionally it seemed that his defense OF
his friend was In a measure meant for
that detectives ears. At this point q
lad entered and, approaching Everly,
said:
"Will, Miss Alice asks you II you can
20 as far as New Market for her."
"Tell her I'll be with her as soon as
can hitch up my horse" AS Everly
started to go Mr.. Barnes touched him
on the arm and said:
Friend. if you are going to New
Market I'll thank you to give me lift
if you would be so kind. 1t will save
me long walk"
"Who arc you?" Everly was suspi-
oious of strangers.
