AN UNEXPECTED RETURN.

AN UNEXPECTED RETURN.
The preliminary inquest held by the
c~oroner's court on the body of Richard
Goffe In no way helped to dispel the
mystery surrounding his death. For
as yet the post-mortem examination
not been concluded, and a principal
witness. In the person of Dunstan Bur
bage, was not In attendance.
His continued absence deCtpened the
suspicion that had already crept round
and darkened his reputation in the
public eyes since II became Known that
he a been seen TO leave the de-
ceased's bedroom a considerable time
after the latter had retired. But to
Lady Bysshe, to Edith, and the count,
he was above and beyond all doubt,
and no hint Of his supposed guilt was
tolerated by them, no fear Of it OPP
pressed their minds.
For all that, Lady Bysshe and her
niece were Ia Il state of ryo anx-
iety regarding him, which increased
every day that passed and failed TO
bring tidings of him.
"Ah, my dear, what a comfort you
are to me-" Lady Bysshe replied.
Then after a moments. pause h
continued: II suppose that when l

CLIMATIC r

The influence of climatic condi-
lions in the cure of consumption is
very much overdrawn. The poor
patient, and the rich patient, too,
can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and a regular use Of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so
is a good nights rest and the alb
sence of that weakening cough and
facilitating night sweat. Restless
nights and the exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger and
dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking Ger
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to a warm
er cline, you will find that of the
thousands of consumptives there, the
few who are ben Fitted and regain
strength are those who use German
Syrup. Trial bottles, Poe; regular

ARE THE RUSSIANS TO TAKE
PEKIN?

The idea may not find serious lodg-
ment in any responsible place; in
deed, the talk about it may be moth
ing more substantial than a big bluff;
but if, as dispatches from Pekin and
Hong Kong state, the Russians have
threatened to seize the Chinese CAPT.
tai in case war breaks out, then, in
deed, will there be something of a
very serious character doing.
Great Britain, which is tied up by
treaty with Japan, will, doubtless,
be nothing more than an interested
looker-on at the proceedings 50 long
as the conflict is between Russia and
Japan alone, and the scene is Man
churia and Korea, or the waters adj
jacent thereto. But should Russia,
as Paul Lessar, the Russian minister
to China, seems to have threatened,
march her armies down to Manchu-
ria, and attempt to take Pekin, then
will Great Britain get into the game,
anu very promptly.
The treaty between Great Britain
and Japan has as its basic principle
the preservation of the Chinese en-
pire. Under its terms, Great Brit
ain could not do otherwise than
step in and thwart the designs of
Russia for control of China, even
wer her own interests less than they
are. AS it is, however, Great Brit
aims interest in preventing further
Russian encroachment upon Chinese
territory is far greater than that of
Japan, and that she would act
promptly and decisively there can
be no question.
If Russia has any serious designs
in the direction of Pekin she had
better abandon them forthwith. Not
Great Britain alone, but a number
of other nations we might name
would probably join in an endeavor
to put a veto upon any such attempt
as that for the exploitation of which
