 It is courting danger to stand under icy caves. Not few have learned this to their cost. Every winter injury and even death are reported as the result of this carelessuess. But there is far more popular way of courting danger. Every man or woman who negiects a cough is inviting sickness, and many fatal sickness has its beginning in a slight cough.

CHAPTER x.
Life Tied in a Knot.

Life Tied in Knot.
4 One morning soon after the New
Year, Hyde. was returning to the
Manor House from New York. 1t was
a day to Cypress thought, and tighten
the heart, and kill all hope and energy.
There was a monotonous rain and
sky like that of past age-solemn
and leaden-and the mud of the roads
was unspeakable. He was compelled
to ride slowly and to feel in Its full
force, as it were, the hostility sof Ma,
ture.
But when he reached home and his
valet had seen to his masters refresh
ment in every possible way, Hyde was
at least reconciled to the idea OF, liv-
ing a little longer At least there was
Annie. Annie was. always glad to see
him, and he had a great respect for
Annie's opinions.
He heard her singing as. he APP
preached the drawing room, and he
opened the door noiselessly, and went
IN. He did not in any way disturb
her. She ceased when the hymn was
finished and sat still few moments,
Realizing, as far as she could, the
glory which doth not, yet appear. Then
he stood up and she came towards
him. Hyde placed her in a chair be-
tore the fire, and then drew his own
chair to her side.

So the world went on, but Cornelia's
heart stood still, and at the end of the
third week things came to this-her
father looked at her keenly one morn
ing and sent her instantly to bed.

mistaken he said to the anxious
mother. why have you said nothing
to me?" '.g.4G ph ~

only sorrow and heart-ache! Is
not that enough to call typhoid or
any other death? What is the trou-
BILE? Oh, need not ask, know it is
that young Hyde, What is left us
now, is to try and save her. dear life,p
said the miserable father. Suffering
we cannot spare her. She must pass
alone through the Valley of the
Shadow; but it may be she will lose
this sorrow in its dreadful paths"
This was the battle waged in DR..

One day, while she was in extremity,
the doctor went himself to the apothe-
cary's for medicine. AS he came out
of the store with it in his hand, Hyde
looked at him with a steady implora-
ton. He had evidently been waiting
his exit. ...r .-.4 rt

port that cannot | dare not be-

Believe the worst-and stand aside,

Then, sir let me tell you that your
behavior has been so brutal to her,
and to me, that the Almighty shows
both kindness and intelligence in TAX

uttered in a blazing passion of indig-
nation and pity, the young lord crossed
to the other side of the street. leaving
the doctor COMPOUNDED by his words

There is something strange here"
he said to himself; the fellow may be
as bad as bad can be, but he neither
looked nor spoke as If he had wronged
Cornelia. If she lives I must get to
the bottom of this affair"
With this admission and wonder,
the thought of Hyde passed from his
mind, for at that hour the issue he
had to consider was one of life or
death. And although it was beyond all
hope or expectation, Cornelia came
back to life. But she was perilously
delicate, and the doctor began to
consider the dangers of her GONZALES

Cornelia had been downstairs awhile,
'it will not do for the child to run the

Very near the great entrance gates
of Hyde Manor he met his father and
mother walking. George threw him
self off his horse with loving I'M

him about his manner OF spending
the previous day How could thou
help knowing thy father had landed?'
she asked. "Was not the whole city

But though his mother gave him a
final charge ito make haste" he went
slowly. The thought Of Cornelia had
returned to his memory with a sweet,
strong insistance that carried all be-
fore it. He wondered if she was sui
fering-if she thought he was suffer
ing-if she was sorry for him.
Poor Cornelia! She was at that mo-
ment the most unhappy woman in
New York. She had excused the

Yesterday. She had found in the I'M
expected return of his father and
cousin reason sufficient, for his neg
lect; but it was now past ten O'Clock
of another day, and there was yet no
word from him. The tension became
distressing. She longed for her
father-for a caller for any one to
break this unbearable pause in life.
Yet she could not give up hope.

she was sure he would come in the
afternoon. He must come. Then as
hour after hour slipped away, she
was compelled to drop her needle,

holding despair at bay so many hours
she could bear it no longer.
The next morning she called Bal

him. 1t had struck her in the night,
that the slave might have lost the let

frank speech was beyond suspicion,
He told her exactly what clothing
Lieut.. Hyde was wearing, how he
looked, what words he said, and then
