Peruna cures catarrh in all stages and va

therefore the most effective remedy ever de-

which follow la grippe.
Samuel III. York writes from Union
Grove, Ala, the following letter:

Mr.. Jobson's slippers-you'll find them
beneath the bed in our sleeping
room," said she. Mr.. Jobson was
about to say something when the girl
had gone upstairs, but he scratched
his head instead.
'Er-where's that long-stemmed
briar pipe of mine?" inquired Mr.. job
son, after he had settled himself for
reading. Mrs. Jobson, looking up
from the Christmas magazine she had
picked up, reached over and rang the
gong again. When the servant ap-
peared again, grinning-for the girl
was in on the play-"Gertrude you'll
find Mr.. Jobson's long-stemmed pipe
on the window sill upstairs" said
she. Mr.. Jobson looked at Mrs. job
son with open mouth, but apparently
thought better of it and scratched
his head again. Mrs. Jobson pulled
her easy chair closer to the crate fire
and leaned back luxuriously. About
half an hour later Mr.. Jobson said,
throwing down his paper:
Lets have a look at that account
book of mine-I want to run up the
figures"
Mrs. Jobson was just about to reach
over to ring the gong again, when
Mr.. Jobson stopped her with ges-
ture.
Just supposing you cut out this
Empress Eugene, Queen of Sheba
business" said he. 81 don't know
what this new name is called, but I
know that I don't want to play it any
more. You don't want to get naughty
with me, Mrs. Jobson. This isn't the
British legation or the Peking palace
we're living in, you know, and we
haven't got any more than $4,000
servants, and there's no particular
sense in rubbing it in on our present
somewhat contracted staff of menials
and varlets, and if you're too tired to

bunch of chimes to ringing for it,
you can go ahead and buy few cases

CHAPTER XV.-CoNTINUED.

Unconsciously Agnes had clung to
Sprague's hand. Now, as the sense of
danger disappeared, she became
aware of what she was doing; and, in
sudden embarrassment, she with
drew her hand from his reassuring
clasp.
The artist, recalling the object of
his visit, at once became grave and
formal.
81 am sorry to intrude upon you at
this unconventional hour, Miss Muir
dock, but l found this letter in my
studio to-day. 1t was evidently
dropped by you yesterday; and,
thinking it might be important, l.
ga letter? What letter." asked
Agnes puzzled.
Sprague held out the sealed envel-
ope. The young girl tore it open and
cast hurried glance at it's contents.
Then suddenly understanding, she
tore the paper to shreds and threw
these angrily into the fire which
burned brightly in the large open
fireplace.
"Oh, that!" she exclaimed, con-
temptuously. And then after pause:
''Do you mean to say you thought"
She stopped short, seized by sud
den shyness.
"What else could I think?' said
Sprague, softly.
He was watching the fragments of
paper as they fared upon the hearth.
The flame which consumed them
seemed to shed radiant glow upon
his heart.
"Then," he added, presently, and
still more softly, ''if there is nothing
between you and-and him-perhaps-
perhaps 1 may hope-Miss Murdock-
Agnes"
His hand sought hers and found it.
But the reaction had come at last,
and the brave girl who had been able
to control herself in the presence of
a threatening mailman now gave way
80 a fit of hysterical weeping.
Sprague, not being a medical man,
could hardly have known what RENE
dies to employ in an emergency of this
ing words in the young girls ear and
to kiss the tears from her eyes. But
apparently that was enough. Evident
ly for layman he must have possessed
considerable medical intuition; for,
after sobbing awhile upon his shoul-
der, Agnes quieted down gradually and
remained contentedly nesting in his
arms, while the artist, doubtless fear
full of relapse, continued, for per-
haps an unnecessarily long time, to ply
the treatment whose effect had pro-
duced upon his patient SO marked, so
rapid, and SO satisfactory a result.
The attention of the medical profess
sion is respectfully called to treat
ment which, though empirical, may
possibly possess specific virtues.

CHAPTER XVI.
THE ROENTGEN RAYS.

II tell you, Sturgis, it is wonderful
discovery. l don't know what applica-
tions may ultimately be made of it in
other branches of science, but l am
convinced that it is bound to cause a
revolution in surgical diagnosis said
DR.. Thurston, enthusiastically.
"Yes," replied Sturgis, 81 have no
doubt that Roentgen's rays will be of
great assistance to the surgeon in the
examination of features and in the To-
cation of foreign bodies which cannot
pc reached by the probe
"As proof of that, [ must show you
a beautiful photograph which I have
Just made. After leaving you on New
Years morning, [ found a patient
asleep in my office. He had been wait
ing several hours. 1t was the usual
case of pistol in the hands of a fool
friend, who did not know it was load
ed; and of course with the usual result
"a bullet wound in my patient"
Sturgis was listening in an absent
minded way while his friend spoke.
"The wound was not severe; no

the palm of the left hand and had
passed up into the forearm"
A sudden light came into the report
er's eyes; but he maintained his list
less attitude
''Well, sir, probe as I would, l was
unable to locate that bullet. At last 1
concluded to try the Roentgen rays,
and here is the result. 1t is as pretty a
shadow photograph as 1 have yet
SEEN"
So saying, DR.. Thurston handed the
reporter a photograph, which the lat
ter studied carefully in silence.
Notice how clearly you can see the
peculiar shape into which the bullet
has been flattened,'' said the physician.
"Yes," replied Sturgis, Il was observ-
ing that. Have you a duplicate of this
that you can spare?"
yes; keep that one if you wish.''
THANK you; l am very glad to have
it. Did you succeed in extracting the
bullet?"
81 have not tried yet. 1 had to devel-
op the photograph first"
"Of course. When do you expect the
red-haired young man to return?"
He promised to come back yester-
day, but he failed to do So" replied
DR.. Thurston. Then, suddenly:
But who said anything about his
being young or red-haired?"
'Not you, certainly, old man." re-
piled Sturgis, smiling. Don't worry;
you have not voluntarily betrayed any
professional secret. But, for all that,
your patient is wanted by the police.
He was bound to fall into their hands
before long. The only effect of this
discovery will be to hasten the denoue-
ment. / had traced him to your house,
and 1 knew how he was wOunded; so
that 1 recognized him as soon as you
mentioned his case
'Who is he?" asked Thurston. Il am
sure have seen him somewhere before,
but | cannot remember where"
Whereupon the reporter related the
story of Chatham's connection with
the Knickerbocker bank case.

With scorn he promptly made reply,
D!sputing her contention.
"A test of strength he said, well try

She smiled and answered: '"This we'll do

This plan she was unfolding,
For well he knew a woman'S art

That he was fairly in it

you like tiiem?"
They're orientally magnificent"
said Mr.. Jobson, in weak sort OF
tone. "Now, let's have dinner. I'm
hungry"
Instead of tripping down the stairs,
as she usually did, to superintend the
placing of the dinner on the table,
Mrs. Jobson walked over to the sit
ting-room table and rang a brand-new
gong which she had purchased that
day, while Mr.. Jobson looked on won
deringly. The servant girl wheezed
up the stairs half moment later.
Gertrude, you may serve dinner -
said Mrs. Jobson, sinking back in an
easy chair. Mr.. Jobson blew his nose
rather fierceiy, but didn't say any
thing.
He wasn't particularly clipper DUR
ing the meal, which Mrs. Jobson sat
through without once getting up, as
usual, to see about the coffee, or the
dessert, or something or other, and
she went right upstairs with Mr.. job
son when the dinner was finished.
MY slippers?" said Mr.. .Jobson,
looking at Mrs. Jobson, expectantly,
when they reached the sitting-room.
Mrs. Jobson smiled amiably and
sounded the gong. The servant made
her appearance presently. Gertrude,
