cision. She not only could not sane
ton the engagement, but Miss
LEstrange must be considered quite
free.
Il don't wish to be free" said Mollie
bodily, over his shoulder. Il have given
Mr.. Anstruther my word, and will not
break it."
MY. sweet child, you are young, you
do not know your own mind. Mr.. An
struther has taken advantage of find
ing you alone in my absence"
Il naturally wished TO find Miss
L'Estrange alone" answered Reggie,
haughtily.
"Oh, yes!" sneered Herr, who had
been standing biting his nails gloom
lily, in direful dismay. 1T is well to
pay court to the heiress. but she has
protection. l."
He paused uneasily, yet Reggie had
only stopped to pick up the riding
whip which he had dropped, and then
looked at him. But it was enough
he said no more, while madame, go
ing shade paler as she watched the
two young men, nastened to close the
interview.
When Reggie left things were only
what he had expected. Madame alb
solutely refused her consent, and de-
clined to see him at Cha font again,
so far losing her temper as to utter
innuendoes and insults, which she
could say with impunity, as a woman,
but which would certainly have
brought Reggie's whip across the
shoulders of her adored son.
Reggie, for his part, courteously re-
peated that the engagement was fact,
and would be known all over Rever-
ton; he was sorry for her decision, but
it would alter nothing, only cause a
little delay. Then, after few words
with Mollie, he reluctantly tore him
self away, and she heard the gate clang
behind him and watched him down
the road until she was blinded by her
tears.

A LIFE SAVED.

ward Advloo Saves the Life of
Prominent Clifton.


Chicago H., Nov. 26.-(SpeciaD-
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
CITY, none is better known or more
universally esteemed. than Mr.. S. P.
Rush, Conductor (PresidenD Of Holy
Name Court, Number &c.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside of its ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
lions, and pills and powders, until his
stomach refused food. At last, his
local druggist, guided by the numerous
inquiries being made at his store for
Dodds Kidney Pills, advised Mr.. Rush
to buy and try some. This he did, and
to his delight he was restored to
health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commenc-
ing the use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect cure.
II took nothing else but Dodd's
Kidney Pills during that time, so
know that l owe life and health to
them"
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, it will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy
that has never failed to cure Bright's
Disease.
Mr.. Rush is just now receiving the
congratulations of his friends, but al
ways finds time to say a good word

Now, of course it is the easiest

justifiable, but the obstacle which

the fact that no man, or group OF men

such and such a person could not be

CHAPTER. TX.

"Mollie, it is so bad again."
rs it, my pet? What can l do foi
you?" said a sleepy voice, as Molle
reused herself from the slumber into
which she had fallen by the side of
the bed. 'Kittie, it is striking IL by
the hall clock; l had no idea it was so
late! l will go down to the drawing
room and get the cloves; we left them
there. and they may ease the pain a
little"
Kate sat up in bed, looking as mis-
cradle as child with teeth ache can
look, and Molie slipped off for the
cloves, closing the door softly behind
her.
1t was Easter eve once more; not
balmy and soft like last time, but colo
and frosty, with a cruel east wind
bowling round the house. like the
night two years ago when Leonard
Barlowe had so mysteriously met his
death.
The months that had passed had
been full of trouble and anxiety to
Mollie L'Estrange, and she looked
paler and thinner; but the gray eyes
were as fearless and sweeter than ever,
for the trials had been bravely borne,
and if she could not quite love her
enemies, she had at least endeavored
to follow that splendid precept and re-
turn good for evil,
Henri had been away for some weeks
now; at first much to her relief, but
latterly she had almost wished him
back, for his mothers sake. Ever since
his departure she had seemed con-
sumed with restlessness, growing daily
more morose and gloomy, and break
ing into fits of passion for the merest
trifie, while she watched Mollie with
suspicious eyes, never allowing her to
see the Anstruthers, through whom
alone she could hear from Reggie, for
both knew that the ordinary post
would not be safe.
Stealing quietly down the dark
stairs, Mollie gained the drawingroom,
and, possessing herself Of the bottle
of cloves, was returning, when as she
got to the door she saw a faint light
at the top of the stairs.
Who was abroad in the house this
night of all others, when no servant
would stir alone, when they vowed that
the ghost of Mr.. Barlowe walked in
his haunts and light had been seen
in his study?
Drawing back against the heavy
plush curtains in the hall, she watched
with beating heart as it came glimmer-
ing nearer, not exactly frightened, but
with a curious awe and dread, feel
ing that something was going to hap
pen. A moment later. and madame
a lamp in her hand, strange, dazed
glitter in her great black eyes-swept
noiselessly past her and went straight
to the study.
The girls first thought was to steal
up stairs again, her next to creep
across the dark hall after madame, and
look in at the half-open door, and so.
unthinkingly, she witnessed a sight
that froze the blood in her veins anG
that she never forgot. For had she
followed her first impulse and gone
upstairs, neither she nor Kate would
have been alive when daylight dawned
that Easter day. On such slight things
as this do great events hangi
Madame put the lamp on a table
close by. and then stole with cat-like
step to the back Of the chair before
the writing table. where the detectives
said that Mr.. Barlowe must have been

A jolly Fnneral

An italian doctor named Louis Cor
tusio, who died in the eighteenth CEN
fury, left some curious instructions as
to the manner of his burial. This gen
tleman, by his will. forbade his rela-
lions to weep at his funeral on pain of
being disinherited and appointed him
or her who should laugh the longest
and loudest the principal heir and leg
atee. Not a stitch of black was to be
displayed either in the house in which
he should die or in the church in which
he should be buried. They were both
to be strewn with flowers and green
boughs on the day of his funeral. In
stead of the tolling Of bells lively mu-
sic was to accompany his body to the
church, and 80 minstrels were to march
with the clergy sounding their flutes,
trombones and trumpets. The bier
was to be carried by II marriageable
girls clothed in green, to each of whom
the testator bequeathed sum of mon
ey for her dowry. Lastly, no one in
the procession was to wear black All

Late Have Been Trivial.

Late have Been Irlylal.
Manila, Sept. 1o-The Philippine
commission, at its first public session,
to be held next Wednesday, will dis
cuss the appropriation of one-third of
the treasury's $6OO0.000 for the con-
struction and repair of roads and
bridges throughout the archipelago.
The people profess to be much graft
fed at the prospect of this work of de-
velopment.
The revenue authorities of Manila
collect under the Spanish laws tax
of per cent upon the salaries of
American civilians earning $500 per
annum and upwards. The tax is I'M
popular and provokes protests among
them. The Filipinos and foreigners,
who are used to it, do not object to the
levy.
The reports of the military opera
lions show that of late these have been
trivial. Manila is now experiencing
the heaviest tyDhoon known for years.
