While it is not thought they have gone

MIGHTY Aid to Succe6a.

Complete temperance-that is,' total alb
Btinence from all poisons-is mighty aid
TO success. Life is too short, nowadays, to
squander time on the delirium Of intoxica-
ton, or on the mind-clouding reactions
that follow the excitements of every stim-
hlant-habit.
"I'm sorry, amigo, but I've no time to
fuddle," DR.. Bence Jones, of London,
used to say, in declining the invitations Of
convivial friends.
The truth probably was that he re-
joiced in a pretext for absolute emancipa-
lion from life-blighting vice, for temper
ance need not limit its arguments to atili-
tartan considerations. Its superior changes
Of success extend to the pursuits of intelll'
gent votaries of pleasure.
During the bonanza period of the Cali
fornia placer diggings, the traveller, Ger
Stacker, noticed that many miners, in
cluding men who had gone exclusively in
quest of fun, became temperate under the
Inspiration of good luck; they preferred
the river-bar to the rum-bar, and avoided
dissipations that tended to mar their en-
ioyment of more pleasant pastimes.
The main objection to the use of stimu-
lants is, indeed, the fact that they defeat
the main purpose of their dupes. The
opium eater, like the dram-drinker, hopes
to trick nature out of some extra enjoy
ment, and playing that trick is, in every
instance losing game. Its penalties out
weigh its pleasures; the net result of the
experiment is loss in happiness, as we'll
as in time and health.-Success.

The two men were now near er ugh
for Clifford to distinguish the man
who was holding his companion back,
and to recognize him as Hemming.
The second constable went forward,
as the struggling pair came within the
garden gate, to the assistance of his
fellow. At the same moment Colonel
Bostal thrust his hand through Cliff
ford's arl, as if for support. The
young man hardly noticed his action,
SO deeply absorbed was he in the prob
lem presented by the sight of the
struggling men. For the man whom
both the policemen now held was, in
deed, no other than George Claris,
wild-eyed, fierce-looking, with strag-
Cling beard and unkempt hair.
And he was crying out still, with all
the force Of his lungs:
Where is she? Where is she? Let
me see her, say! Let me see herr'
"Why, the poor fellow thinks you've
got his niece here" cried Clifford, who
seemed to understand in moment the
mystery of the nocturnal knockings
and disturbances of which the Colonel
and his daughter had complained.
Colonel Bostal made no answer, but
he threw one rapid glance behind him.
Clifford followed his example instinct
lively, and an involuntary exclamation
escaped his lips.
For Miss Theodore had disappeared.
