would be the making Of him. II he
conducted the case efficiently his for
tune was made, and he would then
be able to ask Cecil to come to him
as his own. Somehow he felt pretty
sure she would not say him nay.
When he went to his rooms his
head was in a whirl. Cecil had smil-
ed upon him, and her lovely eyes had
fallen as he babe farewell Cecil.
Cecil!-the most queenly of women!
Was 1t possible that one day she
should be his?
But as Enderby sat down before the
crate in which some dead ashes still
family glowed, strange revulsion OF
feeling came over him.
Dundas Lyndon's facets cold
grey eyes, It's watchful expression
came up before his mind. There was
something sinister in the man-some-
thing he did not like. Then sudden
ly there succeeded, as by the instan-
taneous shutting of camera, another
face In the eye of his mind-that pale.
quivering, childlike, yet strangely wo-
manly, face of David Lloyd's daugh-
ter.
He started to his feet and began to
pace the room.
How had these people come to know
DHndas Lyndon? What strange con-
nection was there between them? Was
1t possible-But no, no, the idea was
too wild. too utterly improbable for
real life.
Nevertheless he made up his mind
to go to Burden Mansions next day.
He managed to do so in the after
noon, walking there, as he had no
wish even to give the clue of cab
to any one. He hardly knew why he
was SO careful now; he would not adj
NIT to himself that he had any tang
ible reason for thinking these poor
people wished to hide themselves from
the world.
He knocked again and again. At
last the door was cautiously opened.
and in the darkness within he could
dimly make out slim, girlish figure.
lis it you, Miss Lloyd?" he asked.
Al q INV SolSc. L nave come TO ask
how you both are"
The girl stared at the sound Of his
voice. He could not see her face dis
tinctly, so he did not know that a
light blush had swept over it.
She opened the door more widely.
will you come in?" she said, her
voice just little uncertain. "T have
told my father about meeting YOU"
Enderby followed her in. The hall
was small one, and dark: he saw
two doors. She opened one and adj
mitted him into small dingy room,
whose only furniture consisted of
cheap tapestry carpet on the sfloor, a
painted wooden table, and one or
two chairs. A curtain of coarse serge
hung over an embrasure in the wall:
and Enderby guessed there was bed
behind it.

DESTROYING TREES.

ak has turned some 100000 once fer
tile miles into deserts and has made
one-third of the eastern continent an
unfit abode for the human race. Dis
appearance of arboreal vegetation is
the main cause of many sad changes
on our planet, according to Health
Culture. Spain in the glory of her an
Gent woodlands was the Eden of south
Europe, treeless Spain is wilderness.
When Sicily had forests it also had
poets, philosophers, heroes and mer-.
chant princes; without her trees ban
dts and beggars are the chief prod
ucts. The same story could be told of
southern France. Portugal, Asia Min
or, Persia and Hindustan. Forests of
shady trees mitigate climatic condi-
lions and there is no doubt they attract
rain showers. Leaves generate oxygen
and absorb noxious gases, forming a
natural antidote to grievances of
crowded cities. Shade trees prevent
sunstroke and they also prevent
ophthalmia. the curse Of lower Egypt
and Southern Italy. Where there are
no trees the glare of the sun on the
sand and white buildings is equal to it's
shining on snow. Malaria in many of
its forms Is a result of forest destruc-
ton. The clearing of the woods that
once protected the slopes OF the south

valleys of tho north Italian rivers.

that winters in Pekin in the past have

Every hotel in Edinburgh is crowd

still they come, says M. e. Gilbert,
writing from that city to the Chicago
Record. Many large parties have ar
rived. These. driving around the
sights of the town, create connider-
able stir upon the streets. The other
day over 100 visitors from the United
States were in st. Giles cathedral at
one time. At Holyrood palace. the

he withdrew for pitcher and glass
there came voice from within as Of

CHAPTER w.

Paul Enderby had sat in perfect ST.
lence listening to the full, rich voice
of Sir Henry-that voice which went
SO far in convincing juries-as he re-
lated the chief points of the case. He
remembered it, though the particulars
had passed from his memory long
since.
But as Sir Henry went on, strange,
formless doubts, and half-formed
ideas began to float dimly through
Paul's mind like the dark, shadowy
forms Of bats fitting through some
darkened and deserted barn. He could
hardly formulate them, or give them
a name in his own mind; but they dis
turbed him vaguely, and filled him
with strange foreboding.
When, at last he raised his face,
which had been bent over his fruit
plate, his eyes fell first, not on Sir
Henry's face, but on that of Doctor
Lyndon. whose cold, grey eyes were
fixed on him with strange, expect
ant expression. There was some
thing in it which sent a curious
snudder through Enderby; yet he felt
irritated the next moment at his own
absurd sent ,entality.
He turned Sir Henry.
You are D'n-e than good, Sir Hem

But here comes a warm hearted,

liloquizes and says to himself, "If /
had had as bad father and mother as
he had and all the surroundings OF
my life had been as depraving as those
that have cursed him I myself would
probably have been down in the ditch,
and II that man had been blessed with

and he had been surrounded by the

passed all my days he would probably

Patience Under Physical Pain.
Again, this grace is needed to help
in time OF physical ailments. What
vast multitudes are in perpetual pain
while others are subject to occasional
paroxysm! Almost every one has
some disorder to which he is occa-
sionally subjected. 1t is rheumatism
or neuralgia or sick headache or indi-
brings on that old spell and you think
you would rather have almost any
thing else, but that is because you
have not tried the other. Almost ev-
eryone has something which he wishes
he had not. There are scores of dis
eases ever ready to attack the human
frame. They have been in pursuit of
our race ever since Adam and Eve re-
signed their innocence as well as the
worlds health. 1t is amazing how
persistent and methodic those disor-
ders are in their attack on the world
and how regular is the harvest which
with the sharp scythe OF pain they
NOW down for the grave. No such
disciplined and courageous army ever
marched rs the army Of physical suf-
fering. They do their work in the or

their keeping on In that same order

the Republicans start out in this
campaign with decided advantage.
No man that the Democrats may
nominate will excel Col. Pearre in
ability and popularity.
Col. Pearre has been unusually
active in looking after the interests
of this county, irrespective of their
political belief, and it is safe to sup
pose that his kindness will be reward
ed at election. A large number of
people In this county remember him
very kindly for pushing personal
claims of different kinds, in many of
which claims he was successful. And
his able assistance on the Frederick
city war claim should be greatly ap-
preciated by all of the people of that
city. We believe that Col. Pearre is
stronger to-day in every other county
in this Congressional district than he
was two years ago; and about the
fact that he has increased in favor
with the people of this county there
is no dOubt.-Banner of Liberty lib
