trampled me under your feet; you nave

Listen to the word--you laye tortured

then, how great 1t will be-
az repeat that am not frightened,
said the countess, but she shrank from
the fire OF those splendid eyes.
IL was mad to tnink should find
a woman's heart In you. when the
hour of my revenge comes, my great
grief will be that ! have heart or
marble to deal With" cried Leone.
"You cannot have sudd great affec-
ton for your husband II you speak
to his mother In this fashion, said the
countess mockingly.
The girl stretched out her white
arms with despairing cry.
"Give me back my husband, ana
recall my threats.
Then, seeing that hooking smile on
that proud face, her arms fell with u
low sigh.
81 am mad" she said, in low voice,
ITO plead to you-qulte mad!'
Most decidedly" said the countess.
at appears to me there Is more truth
In that one observation than In any
other you nave made THIS evening AS
| am not particularly inclined to the
society of mad men or mad women,
you will excuse me II withdraw"
without another word, my lady
touched the bell Tc The servant WHO
entered she said:
"Will you snor ...~ ,~srson out as
far as tho park gates, please?"
And without a3g.her look at Leone,
she quilted the room.
Leone followed In silence. She did
not oven look around the sumptuous
home one day she believed to BIO hers;
she went to the great gates which the
man-servant held open ms she passed
through. The sun had set, and the
gray, sweet cleaning lay over the
land. There was n sound OF railing
water, and Leone made her way to 1t.
It was u cascade that fell from
small but steep rock. The sound OF
the ripping water was to her like the
voice of an old friend, the sight OF 1t
like the face of some one whom she
loved She sat down by 1t, and 1t sang
to her The same sweet old song:
"A ring In pledge he gave her.
And VOWS of love we spoke,
Those vows are all forgotten
The ring asunder broke
1t would not be so with her, ah, no!
If ever the needle was true to the pole,
the flowers to the sun. the tides to the
moon, the stars to the heavens Lord
Chandos would be true to her.
SO she believed, and, despite her sor
row, her heart found rest In he belief.

insulted, Inundated and outraged me.
She refused TO hear one word, and
when | left her, swore to be re-
venged on her."
The slender form trembled witt pas
sion. He drew her even more closely
to his breast.
My darling, you need not think of
vengeance" he said. Il am grieyed
that my mother was unkind to you.
Had you consulted me, | should most
certainly Dave saiQ do not go. Mind,
| am not angry or annoyed, only so
far as this, that | would not have you
irritated for the world. | must say
that had always felt that If my moth
er could see you our cause was won.
| did not believe That any creature
living could resist that face"
She looked up at him with unutter-
able love.
do you really care so much for it.,
Lance? Have you never seen face
you like as well?"
mo, and never shall see one. my
darling; when we are parted it will
live in my heart bright and fair until
we meet again"
Then the tender arms chung more
tightly to him.
Must we be parted, Lancer" she
whispered I'VE were married In the
sight of Heaven-must we leave each
other? Oh, Lance, 1t cannot be true;
no one can say that | am not your
wife"
Quietly and calmly trying to COM
mand himself he told her then how
inevitable 1t was that they must SUD-
NIT to the voice of the law during the
next few months, so as to insure their
future happiness and fair name. And
then he told her OF the favor conferred
upon him, and how he was compelled
to accept it or never to hope for court
favor again.
She listened with face that seemed
turned to stone. Slowly the tender
arms unwound themselves and fell by
her side; slowly the beautiful eyes
left his and filled with despair. He
tried to console her.
"You see, my darling" he said,
that in any case we must have part
ed. Though this appointment is a
mark of royal regard, still 1t Is quite
imperative. | could not have refused
1t without ruin to my future career,
and ! could not have taken you with
me, so that for a time we must have
parted"
Il see," she said, gently, but her
hands fell, and shudder that she
could not control passed over her.
Leone" said Lord Chandos, Eve
have not long to be together, and we
have much to arrange. Tell me, first,
what you thought of my mother?"
She is very beautiful, very proud,
very naughty, cold and cruel-if not
wicked" said the young girl, slowly.
THAT is not very ilattering," said
Lord Chandos.
II could have loved and worshipped
her II she h1a been kind to me-" said
Leone; "but she was cruel, and some
time or other | shall have my re-
venge."
He looked gravely at her.
81 do not like to hear that, my dar
ling. How can you be revenged?"
A light came over her face.
Il do not know. | have prophetic
insight ut times into the future. AS
stand here, | know that time will
come wien your mother will weep to
me as bitterly as wept to her, and
just as much In vain"
81 hope not" he answered "All will
be well for us, Leone. But revenge
my darling, is horrible word. and
does not suit those sweet lips at all.
Let me kiss away the sound OF it.
He bent his handsome head and
kissed her lips with love that seemed
stronger than death and true as eter-
nifty.

CHAPTER XIV.

The leper ship, when it returned to
Honolulu the following day, carried
Gordon, but not Warren. That grand
old noble remained TO practically dem
onstrate tile truth of his discovery,
and to carry on the magnificent work
he had begun.
1t is impossible TO picture faithfully
the manifestations of JOY on the part
of those who we're, as yet, so lightly
touched with leprosy as to be amen
able to Warren's system of treatment
their cries Of hope, thanksgiving
and praise; their worship of the white
headed old man whose life had been
spent in the effort to make that mo-
ment a possibility; their plans for
their reunion with their families.
Still less possible is it to portray the
hopeless misery of those who had
gone so far as to be incurable.
They must go on and die, as il War
ren's discovery had never been made.
1 will not say more OF this. 1t was a
painful ordeal, and thank God, it is
over.
| was one of the first TO leave
Molokai. 1t was not in the leper ship
that l returned, but in an untainted
ship sent by the Government for those
who were pronounced cured by War
rem. Having been the last to show
any symptoms of the disease, and my
mode Of life being much iu my favor. 1
was the most easily affected by the
baths and internal remedies Warren
administered. He continued them
nearly month, and pronounced me
cured.
Words cannot do justice to my feel
ings upon the day left Molokai, a
clean man. My heart was light with
hope. / was still weak, physically. so
heroic was the bath treatment; but
the weight Of dreaded fate was lifted
from my mind. was like man who
had been condemned to die suddenly

"FnI it, said, was the stern
reply.
SO we went again and once again.
The tub was nearly full.
Doctor Warren picked up.the bag he
had carried.
"Get me that green package out Of
your bag. Gordon" he said. tom,
is there a fire in your kitchen?"
.'No, but l can soon make one.
''Do It."
I lighted a fire. Doctor Warren
heated some water in an earthen cup,
and then poured some Of the contents
of the green package into it. This
he stirred until it was thick greenish
mass.
Then, taking package and bottle
from his own satchel, he ordered me
into my bath.
"Strip" he said.
He poured the contents of the bottle
into nv bath. The fumes of sulphur
filled the room, almost choking ME.
He then put the green mass in the
water aud stirred it. A thin yapor
came from the bath.
"Get in" he said.
stepped into the bath.
Duck" he said. Get under il
won't hurt you
completely immersed myself
"How does ii feel?" asked Gordon
when nut NV nose out to breathe
Like a thousand darts being driven
into me on all sides, replied; aud so
it felt.
At first there had been a sensation
of numbness, then pricking sensa-
tion; gradually this changed to actual
pain. The stuff was in seemed to be
eating its way into my very system.
My muscles swelled and burned as if
was on fire. My bones seemed to be
coming apart.
81 am disintegrating," said.
$50 you are, said Warren. "You
will be a new man from to-day"
When had been in the bath per-
haps half an hour, Warren told me to
come out was so weak and exhaust
ed could hardly stand.
Gordon seized towel and began to
rub and slap me.
"Give it to himr said Warren, with
out a smile.
And he did give it to me. In his
powerful grasp was but baby.
Warren mixed some medicine.
Take spoonful of this every hour"
he said. Begin now"
l swallowed the dose, and with Cor
don's help dressed myself Then L
lay down. utterly gone, upon my bed.
''Let him rest. :" said Warren. "Get
the things; we win try few more. "
As l lay there alone, my heart
throbbed with renewed hope. 1t was
certain Warren expected good results
from his experiment His manner
was that of man who was sure.
Thinking of the glorious possibilities
of recovery, of reunion with Uncle
Tom, of continuing my search for
Winnie, | fell asleep.

'You see,n said, turning to War
ren, and speaking in low voice, ''it
is killing him now. Better have it
over as soon as possible. He could
not stand the strain Of two weeks
longer"
"True-perhaps you are right. But
I wanted you under my hand for a
time. Still, / can see you there as
well. Yes, we will say Molokai. The
ship will sail soon now"
The old doctor was nervously fumb-
ling some papers on his desk
oh, what a miserable partingl The
Reception Hospital was near the shore,
ald the leper-dock was built on land
belonging to it. No one save those
bound for Molokai or officers OF the
hospital or government ever went
there. bade Gordon and Uncle Tom
good-by in Warren's Office. With
Uncle Tom It was to be good-by for
ever. Gordon, as commander OF the
army, often visited Molokai, and
promised to see me soon. We all wept,
and Uncle Tom moaned and seemed
beside himself.
In the midst of it bell rang.
Come, my boy, it is time, said
Warren.
1 turned and followed him with a
heart heavy with despair and eyes
blinded by tears.
As 1 left the room Warren turned to
my uncle and said:
"Please remain here, Warringford.
1 wish to speak to you. :"
did not turn my face. Resolutely
1 kept my back toward my dear old
uncle and my friend Gordon and fol
lowed Warren. The last thing 1 heard
was my uncle's voice.
"Gordoni GordonI" he moaned.
'Do you realize that my poor boy is
going to his death?"

LOST HIS FOOT.
Injured Man Refused at Saliva
tiOn Army Hospital.

a tramp by the name of Joe Hayden
was run over by a Union Pacific pas
senger train this morning about eight
o'clock. His foot was cut below the in
step. necessitating the 'amputatiOn Of
the lower part of his foot.
Hayden halls from Denver. He was
riding in a cramped up position under
the steps of one of the cars. When the
train stopped at the water tank he
crawIed out to stretch himself. When
the train started he attempted to crawl
back, he slipped and the wheels of the
car passed over his foot. Officer Car
penter was called.
When the officer arrived he found
Hayden lying beside the track. AS soon
as the officer approached the injured
man drew from his pocket a wallet,
handed it to the officer and said:
I found that at St. Marys." The
pocketbook belonged to Col H. c.
Lindsey and contained several papers
bearing his name.
The patrol wagon was called and he
was taken to the city prison and later
to StOrmont hospital to have the OPP
GRAFTON performed Col. Lindsey was
called and asked about his wallet. He
said he had not lost one He felt il
his pockets and remembered that he
had been carrying wallet in his hip
pocket and that it was gone. It was
handed to him and he identified it. He
said there had been nothing in it or
value but later he remembered that
when he lost it there was diamond
ring in it. The ring was gone.
Chief Ramsey had considerable trou-
Bile in securing hospital accommodation
for the injured man. The Salvation
Army hospital refused to take him I'M
til the house physician saw the case
and the physician could not be found.
The man was finally sent to StormOnt
hospital and DR.. Mum volunteered his
services.
Every time a person is injured who
has to be cared for by the city this
same trouble comes up It is time the
city made some arrangements for hos
pital accommodation. The police sUa-
ton is no place for injured or sick peo-
pie and they should not be taken there.
It is hardly a fit place for well people

HIGHER PRICES.
Prices on Meat, Clothing, Brass Goods
Railroad Iron,

Gas and Water Pipes Advancing. Short
Supply. Great Foreign Demand, and
Better Times the Causes
An easern exchange has this to say
about the wonderful increase in prices
of everything:
The high price of meat concerns the
head of every family more or less. The
retail prices as well as wholesale prices
have gone up so, that it naturally leads
to the inquiry what is the cause
Already there has been an advance
of about % per cent in meats, and
what is worse, prices bid fair to ad-
vance and go still higher.
Eggs are also advancing rapidly in
price, we are not for a long time, If
ever, to see eggs so cheap as they have
been.
Clothing has advanced from 20 per
goods are up, in many cases from 100 to
200 per cent Railroad iron is back to
the prices of 20 years ago, while Gas
and Water Pipe has advanced not less
than 100 per cent, SO much in fact that
cities where they have contemplated
extensions TO their water mains have
abandoned all work until prices come
down.
Prices are advancing, and the de-
mand Is increasing. The large rolling
mills and factories where iron pipe is
manufactured are so full of orders. that
they are now taking orders subject TO
delivery. If a company were to place an
order now for gas or water pipe it
might take from four to eight months
TO get the order filed, and that too at
an advance over present prices OF per-
hapS % TO so per cent"
