CHAPTER XIII.-CoSrrNuEp.

Ny old nurse insisted on nv remain
ing at her house for dinner, and left
me seated on the porch while she went
inside to prepare the meal.
From my seat could see the station
far down the hill, through the trees.
Two men were moving about on the
platform, but the distance was too
great to allow distinction of anything
but their forms.
Remembering then that my field
glass had been left here at Sarah's
house on the morning of my arrival, !
called in to have her bring it to me
which she did.
Taking the glass from the case / ad
justed it to my eye and then turned il
toward the station.
My sight had not deceived me ever
in the momentary glimpse of the face
at the window.
The face was Horace Jackson's, and
there the fellow was now, standing or
the edge of the platform, speaking mos
earnestly, judging by the vehement
gestures, to the station agent.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. L. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It Is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that It may induce
others TO avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhna badly, and
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until ! could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Mem
situations were very profuse, appear
| ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but IL seemed to do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in a
paper. l sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
"I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
ferinC from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

the garnering of an abundant harvest,
and therefore a feeling of content
abounded. The countryside was over
run by tramps, the members of the dus-
ty fraternity well knowing that food
was never denied hungry man by the
welI-provisioned farmers. Perhaps the
cook-house cellar was rendezvous for
number of tramps. was so eager to
arrive at some explanation of the event
which would have wholly materialistic
bearing that the absurdity of man
seeking resting-place in damp foul
cellar, when a much more comfortable
bed might be secured out at the barn
amid the hay and straw, did not strike
me.
Then, too, the place would undoubt-
cdly lose a degree of horror if light
was introduced. So, seeing that my
pistol was in my pocket, and taking the
candle and some matches, again made
for the cook house. Having resolved TO
descend again into the mysterious
gloom. / did not allow myself to pause
and think; that would mean perhaps a
return of my fright. Unjust plunge into
the mystery suddenly, or not at all.
II was like taking cold-water bath;
the longer one waits the harder to make
the plunge.
Inside the cook house l lit the candle
and, taking the pistol from my pocket,

ton of my first experience came TO me

candle was nearly eXtnguished.
The return of my fear, however, made
me all the more resolved to go on.
gritted my teeth, and, advancing my
pistol in readiness, slowly began the
descent. Not sound greeted my ears
save that made by my own footsteps
After reaching the bottom step held
the candle aloof and gazed expectantly
around.
The room was about 20 feet square
the fat stones with which it was paved
and the surrounding walls were Shiny
with moisture, and here and there re

That was all. No human being was in
sight, not a sign of one having beer
here.
At my feet a part of the stone pave
ment had been removed and plank in
serted. Lying near the edge of the
plank was a paper with some printing
on the outside, like that on bond ol
deed. / stepped down upon the plank
and again noticed that one enc
sank upder my weight. Stoop
ing down to pick up the paper
my ears were again assailed by the sol
q. emn admonition seeming TO come from
the opposite side of the cellar: "An
other step means death. Pause befor'

Grabbing the paper / quickly re
sumed an upright position, and, hold
ing the candle above me, gazed intent
ly in the direction of the voice. Their

CHAPTER XIV.


How did the bond which was stolen
from the Safety Security company
over year ago get into the cell
lar of an old country house be-
longing to a former employe Of the
bank? Who could have dropped it
there, and where were the rest? Was
trap laid for me?
Sonntag, Skinner Jackson, the un-
explained and curious relation between
these three, the walled-up cellar, the
underground passage undoubtedly lead
ing to it, and so safely guarded-what
could it all mean? Was it possible
that my old house was the receptacle of
the stolen property, and Sonntag,
Skinner, even jackson, the gang, or a
portion of it, had perpetrated the rob
berry?
If this was true, then there was an
attempt being made to furnish some
proof which would throw conviction
upon me.
Was this the mystery which sur
rounded meP Single-handed, how could
l hope TO cope successfully with it?
Jake Hunsicker and his wife were to
be depended upon as far as their judg-
ment and ability lent. I thought of Mr..
Morley, who, being a trustee of the
bank, would naturally be interested in
the affair. But that gentleman's own
evident troubles, and the unwillingness
to add a greater load to the already
overburdened man, turned me from the
idea of aid from that direction.
There was another one, and the
thought had no sooner come into my
head than | proceeded to follow il up.
Stealing cautiously from the house,
l went out TO the barn and saddled the
horse, mounted, and was soon tearing
down the Sidington road.

bolted them. The door leading into the
parlor where my grandfather's body
had reposed in the coffin waiting for
burial, so many years ago, was also
open, and in my wrought-up imagina-
tion specters of the dead seemed to pass
before it. There was no bolt to this
door and, not feeling satisfied in having
it simply latched, by great effort
showed a tall chest of drawers against it.
Even thus barricaded there was nc
feeling of safety. There was no know
ing what fearful mystery might come
up through the floor from the walled.
up cellar beneath.
The experience just passed through
was enough to frighten anyone. But
it was not that alone which caused such
a complete decentralization of my nerves
and so absolute terrorism of all my
faculties. There was something more
than the demonstration just encoun
tered, something from within myself.
Looking back tp the time now 1 real

Consanguineous Marriages.

The results of consanguineous mar
riages have been differently regarded
by various authors of note. Esquirol
attributed to them predisposition to
insanity among the descendants.
Meniere asserts that in the majority of
cases deaf mutes owe their infirmitY
TO the ties of relationship between their
parents. Lucas thinks that these mar
riages are cause of degeneration in
the human race, producing mental dull
ness, brutality, insanity, impotency, etc.
Liebreich states that consanguinity is
frequently the cause of pigmentary
retinitis among the descendants. Ray
maud ranks it among the conditions
which may produce albinism. On the
other hand, some authorities have ex-
plicitly declared themselves in favor of
such marriages, and assert that they
are not at all injurious, and that gen.
orally they give good results. In the
face OF such extreme opinions II is per-
haps not astonishing that there are TO
be found names of equally high repute
among those who affirm that these mar
riages are productive of both good and
evil results, depending on whether OF
rot any constitutional disease affects
either party.-N. Y. Tribune,
