CHAPTER XXNI.
LDITH,S DANGER.

AS they reached the last of the wide
granite steps of the hall door, Max was
drawn aside by Doctor Hopkins that
they might be out of hearing of the
driver seated on the trap awaiting him.
Max watched his companion in silence.

the medical man began, hesitating as

uselessly. What do you say?"

Increasing.
afternoon" Doctor Hopkins stated
without answering the question put to
him. and in another moment he was
in the trap, driving through the park
homeward.
Max, standing where he was left
watched the vehicle disappear round a
bend of the carriage drive, his small
blue eyes expressing perplexity, sus-
pense and fear, an absorbed look cloud
ing his face. He remained so long in
the same spot that the chill east wind
seemed to strike through him, for he
shuddered from head to foot.

TRACkLEsS TROLLEY.
Novel Line Will DispIace Horses OF
Roads in Prussia

Roads in Prussia.
Electrical World: A trackless troll
ley line is being built by the community
of Monnheim, to be the fist OF it's kind
in Prussia. 1t will run from Monnheim
to Langenield and will be about two
and one-half miles long, with two short
branches intended for freghting pur-
poses. The roadway from Monnheim
to Lansenfeld is about twenty three
feet wide, With a good basaltic cover
about fifteen in width, running almost
in an air line, with the exception of
few curves. A special contrivance for
coupling will be provided in order to
keep an exact rut of all the cars. The
power Will be conducted to and from
the cars by means of two rotary poles,
placed on top of the cars, and sliding
blocks enabling the train to give way
from ten to twelve feet For entering
farmyards, lying close to the road,
there will be used. instead of the regu-
lar wire, connector and flexible cable
fifty feet to seventy feet in length by
means of which the current will be
transmitted to the motor car. The
trains will consist of an electric loco
motive for drawing two or three cars,
driven by two electric motors of from
G5-horse power to 40-horse power. The
| conducting crew will have it's place on
the locomotive. The cars for carrying
freight have Il capacity of about five
tons. Some of the cars will be open
and some closed, and all will be fitted
with brakes. Couplings will be pro-
vided for attaching farm wagons.

But no sooner had his cry runS out

than the leaping flames of the furnace

a lightning like flash bazed through
the laboratory and was followed by an
explosion that smashed the windows,
tore the ceiling and shook the walls
against which every heavy object in
the room was hurled with resistless
force.
After a brief interval of death-like
silence the door was pushed open by
Tommaso. the only other inmate of the
palace, who slept in a distant wing.
The light of the swinging lamp showed
him the wreckage made, but it was not
until he had looked a second time in
search of his master that he saw him
huddled and motionless upon the floor.
! His firts impression was that the
doctor was dead. but a deep moan
presently assured him life was still
left in that charred body. Taking
him in his arms he carried the in
sensible man to his bed. where he had
no sooner placed him than loud peal
of the gate bell rang through the silent
palace.
Grateful to think that he was not

He made no complaint of the in

Closely questioned by him. she told
the doctor she had gone 10 bed quite
we'll; she had suffered no pain the pre-
vious day; she had not eaten anything
after dinner nor had she drank any
thing save the medicine given her by
Zoffani to be taken whenever she woke
at night, and the exact complement OF
which, as prescribed for her, she
placed in glass on the table by her
bedside when retiring. This she had
taken continually since her return from
Italy, SO that her illness could not be
aScribed to it.
The doctor was nystfied, but to con-
ceal this feeling and soothe his hearers
he spoke of the severe pain frequently
set up by dyspepsia, recommended his
patient to remain in bed all day, and
promised to see her again in the after
noon.

Doctor Hopkins strove to calm and
reassure him by references to dyspep-

count was not SATISFIED by his words

! or is 1t really the truth. Please, oh

his vacant eyes full Of doubt and
trouble, his voice shaking from anxi-

Mrs. Brooks Became So Weak She Thinks
She Would Have Died But For
DIR. Willin ms Pink Pills.
Mrs. Sarah L. Brooks, of No 40 Lin
coin Park, Chicago, Illinois, gives the
following account of ner cure from dis
tressing spells of vomiting:
For five years off and on I was
treated in vain by different doctors for
relief from stomach trouble which
showed itself i'll frequent and trying
spells OF vomiting. Part of the time I
was able to work and again would be
confined to bed for three or four days in
succession.
My stomach was at times so delicate
that it would not retain even plain water.
The spells would sometimes occur at in
tervals Of half an hour, and would leave
lue SO weak that would be compelled
to lie down between them. l would
have several of them during the night
following day of such attacks. Finally
l became so weakened that | had to give
up working altogether. weighed only
ninety -four pounds.
Last January l read about DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People in ono
of The Chicago Gaily papers and bought
a box and began to use them. After I
had used half box found that l could
keep on my stomach the food I az. I
was encouraged by this and kept on
using the pills for four months. At tho
end of that time the vomiting spells had
ceased altogether and my weight went
up to lA2 pounds and is still growing.
F" think I surely would have died if
it had not been for Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for ! sometimes vomited clear
blood, and for three or four days at
time | could not eat a bite of anything
One doctor said had chronic inflamma-
fion of the stomach, and another said
my difficulty was cancer, but none Of
their medicines did me any good at all.
Finally l concluded that l did not have
blood enough to digest my food and
began the treatment that has cured me.
l can eat anything now, and have
strength for all kinds of work. I always
keep DR.. Williams Pink Pills on hand,
