She had sworn in her own soul new
err to return to Grey Oaks, save as Its
acknowledged mistress-acknowledged
by the man who had dispossessed her,
and by the world.
And now, when scarce three months
later, the carriage rolled through h
lodge gates, and the old, familiar
scenes burst upon her view, Beatrice
felt that she had, in a measure, per-
jured herself.
And yet. a voice within her whis-
pered that II was a first step toward
the goal of success, and as the cold
wind blew through the bare branches
of the oaks. she could fancy it bore to
her the message OF the dream.
The great bronze door leading into
the wide. spacious hall was thrown
wide open; the ruddy glow OF the halls

while, bare-headed. Randolph Chester
came forward TO receive his guests.
To each he murmured some courte-

her acceptance OF 1t.
A suite of rooms had been assigned
her in the east wing, a portion Of the
house rarely used, and farthest re-
moved from the suite which formerly
had been hers.
Among the ~ervants h saw not one
familiar face. All the old retainers of
her father had been discharged. Not
one remained who could recognize their
young mistress.
Yes. one. Tyrrell still held his place
indeed, had been promoted to the
care OF the lodge. He was a high ia
vorite, she later heard the servants
whisper to themselves. Careless and
indolent and half the time untitled by

rimanded or noticed by his master. In
his cups, indeed, the fellow was wont
to boast OF this himself.
But az dinner, a great surprise
awaited her. Several courses had fol-
lowed each other, when Randolph
| Chester rose In his chair.
"I wish to acknowledge a special
debt of gratitude I owe you. my lear

me, to drink her welcome"
All glanced at a others faces,

FROM DEATHS DOOR.

Hillsdale. Ill, April 29th.-Much IN
terest has been aroused here over the
case of William Marks, who has been
IN a diving condition for several months
with an apparently incurable Kidney
DiesaSe.
The leading physicians of this place
had pronounced his case a hopeless
one, and others from Port Byron, Cen
eseo, and Davenport, Iowa, had at
tended him, and in a consultation de-
cided that he could not live.
In desperation, his nephew inquired
of Mr.. L. F. Giles. a local druggist, as
to a last resort. Mr.. Giles suggested
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
had just been introduced here.
The results were marvellous. Mr..
Marks Immediately began to improve.
and within a few weeks was able to be
up and about. completely cured.
His cure is the talk of the ~neighbor-
hood, and is considered nothing short
of & miracle.
There appears to be no doubt that
this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills,
will cure any case of Kidney Disease,
for the more malignant forms. such as
rights Disease, Diabetes. n Drop
sy. yield readily to its remarkable in
fiuence. These forms of Chronic Kid
ney Disease have hitherto been consid-
cred incurable, and have bafied all
medical skill, and yet. this new remedy
has cured every single case in which it
has been used in this neighborhood.
The doctors themselves are amazed at
the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney
Pills are accomplishing in Rock Island
Couny.
