The old man was notably nervous as

"Whar in thunder is tn eatin' car?

CHAPTER XVII.

II was as If thunderbolt had been
launched in their midst. A moment,
and an seemed lost. That moment
passed, Harvey Barclay determined to
strike bodily, and turn his would-be de-
feat into an Overwhelming victory.
From his face had fallen the mask of
Friendship which he had forced himself
TO assume. He could now show him
self in his true colors. prepared by any
means, fair or foul, to win Grace Haw-
thorne's hand.
IL honeyed words failed to reach her
i ear, then he would utter threats. What
a inattered the means, SO that he accom-
splished the end? And Helen must stand
( BY passive. while he won the race. IS
Grace's movement had been bold. but
For the instant 1t had exhausted al 11el

closed sheraeyes and leaned upon the pi-

weakness passed. Il

breeding Of the tempest to shrink from

she had grown white to the very lips.
The last bitter shaft had sped to its
mark. It revealed to her what hither-
to she had refused to acknowledge to
herself.
She turned as she spoke and walked
swiftly from the room; but this time
Harvey Barclay made no further move
ment to detain her. He could afford to
let the poison work. 1t required time
to prove it's potency. He had little fear
that it would fall

he stood, and as he struck the match
she rested her hand a moment on his
shoulder, and whispered few words
in his ear.

And then, lest something choking in
her throat should escape her self-con--
troll, she hurried from the room.
One by one the days before the time
set for their departure fitted by. They
seemed all too short for the many pre-
parations for so hasty journey; but
Time avenged itself by the long night
hours which both women passed III
restless wakefulness.
Little did Harry reck, as he lay quiz
city sleeping, that beside him his wife
lay with wide-open eyes and hands
tightly c1asped, as though to crush
back the storm of emotion and fear at
war within her.
Sometimes she was tempted to wax
him and say she would not go. Once
she called him aloud by name; but
when he wenderingly responded to an
unknown note of terror in the voice
which had aroused him from his sleep.
the face of the man who had accosted
her in the square seemed to float before
her.; hooking laugh of triumph to
ring in her ear; and she answered only
shuddered as his tender, reassuring kiss
fell upon her beautiful and lying lips.
At last the morning dawned that was
to- see them on the first stage of their
journey-the morning of April I'd.
They were to remain that night in
New York. The steamer sailed at the
following morning.

CHAPTER XVIII.

It was a desperate game that he
was playing. No one realized this bet
ter than Harvey Barclay himself, as
in his own mind, walking slowly to
his rooms, he reviewed the CONVEX
sation which had just taken pace. Yet
he had naught to lose and all to gain.
A few days longer and the note would
fall due. If before that date he failed
to win Grace Hawthorne's promise
to become his wife, he would make
that his weapon.
Should she wish to spare the man
who had forged her name, he would
give him up to law, unless she redeem
ed him by her pledge to him.
Helen would swear to his statement
of the note, and Harry could deny 1T
only by exposing the infamy of the
woman who bore his name:
Little had Harvey Barclay dreamed
where the current would bear him., on
whose black bosom he first had let
himself idly drift.
Suddenly, hand falling heavily on
his shoulder interrupted his sombre
thoughts. He turned. A man, some
what fashily dressed, had approached
him from behind.
He grew pale as he recognized him.
What had Tom Window to say TO
him? And did he know or suspect the
truth? If so, his life was not worth
many minutes purchase, but he would
sell it dearly.
All his former effort to avoid this
meeting had been futile. Fate had
forced it. But the mans first words
proved that his fears were useless.
Window connected him only with
another mantle man Of whom he was
in search-the man who had been his

SHIFTING THEIR GROUND.

One of the most remarkable pohlticaI
developments of the time is the shifting
of ground by a large number of the

men that gave absolutely no support In
critical hours to the anti-imperialistic
move ment against the treaty of Paris.
by which the Philippines were annexed;
they even encouraged the president, and
cried amen to his achievement of making
them American territory. Yet suddenly
they turn, because of the proposed tariff
against Porto Rico, and are crying ''inlr
pel-ialism" as loudly as the original o)-
ponents of the annexation policy. Now
that the actual demonstration of the eX-
act truthfulness of the original antrim
perialist claims is being presented 10
their vision by the Republican program
in Congress, the scales fall from their
eyes, they recoil in horror from the pros

THE SUBSIDY STEAL.

The subsidy proposed to be given by
the Hanna-Payne bib to the 1nterna-

upwards of S2,S75, 600 per year. Inis
company is now getting from the Gov
ernment for mail subsidy sum equal
to S4S5, 900 for the service of four ships.
which are worth not more than $500
coo apiece. In other words, it is receiv-
ing as subsidy nearly 8 per cent. per an
llplm ON the cost of these ships, not in
Guiding amy earnings from freight and
passengers. One would say that this
was pretty good evidence that republics
are grateful. Now it was proposed to
MULTIPLY this sum by six, and to make
to this small coterie of rich men and
their successors present of not less than
$57. 100000 in the course of the next
twenty years, if the bill is really limited

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN

When my little girl was three months
old. there appeared little red spot on
her face. something similar to ring
worm which afterwards spread over
her cheek. then it began to come out III
different places, all over her body.
When the child was nearly a year old,
she began to scratch herself, and we
could do nothing to relieve her su1rer-
ing. She scratched, bled and cried
nearly all night long. We tried all the
remedies friends would suggest. We had
the best physicians to prescribe, but to
no avail. The child only grew worse,
and for several months it seemed that
We must give up our darling child. Her
suffering was so intense that it took
nearly all of my time, especially at night,
to wait upon her The sheets would
be covered with blood and scabs every
morning, and it was pitiful sight to
look at the poor, suffering Little girl.
My life was darkened beyond descrip-
ton, and | was unfit for business. Final
ly, one of the ablest physicians i'll North
Carolina who had been attending the
child, told me to use Mrs. Joe Persons

became discouraged and stopped it. Mrs.
Joe Person visited us and insisted on
our using the Remedy longer. The doses
were so small for a young child, that one
bottle lasted long enough to try my pa
thence. and | did not agree to return to
the Remedy, but my wife insisted on
doing 50, and we began it again. After
using five bottles of the Remedy and
several packages of the Wash. our child
was entirely cured, without a single scar

was a little painful at first. hut after
using it few times. the child seemed
to enjoy it. The child was 21a years old
when cured. We are now happy and
can truthfully say. we have as healthy
and pretty a child as can be found in
North Carolina. All praise to God and
Mrs. Joe Person.
