He hardly opened his lips during
that weary trudge across the moor, nor
would he enter the school when he
reached it, but went on to Mackleton

consoling DR.. IIuxtable, Frustrated by

later still he entered my room as alert
and vigorous as he had been when he
started in the morning. "All goes well,

trace of that wild terror of the night

ana in his twitching features.
You have come to see his grace? I

The duke stood in thought for a mo-

Holmes opened the case, and, mois-

left upon his skin

My Breath.
ShortneSS of Breath
Is One of the Conn
monest Signs of
Heart Disease,

Notwithstanding what many physic-
fans say, heart disease can be cured.
DR.. Miles New Heart Cure has per-
manently restored to health many
thousands who had found no relief in
the medicines (allopathic or homoeo-
pathic) of regular practicing physicians.
1t has proved itself unique in the his
tory of medicine by being so uniformly
successful in curing those diseases.
Nearly always. one Of the first signs
of trouble is shortness of breath. Wheth-
er it comes as result of walking or
running up stairs. or Of other exercises,
if the heart is unable to meet this extra
demand upon its pumping powers-there
is something wrong with it.
The very best thing you can do, is to
take DR.. Miles New Heart Cure. It
will go to the foundation of the trou-
bic, and make a permanent cure by
strengthening and renewing the nerves.

Cure is great remedy. For a number

But my friends eyes were fixed upon

The man turned shade paler and
cast malignant glance Mt Holmes.
IF your grace wishes
Yes, yes; you had better go. Now.
Mr. Holmes, what have you to say?"
My friend waited until the door had
closed behind the retreating secretary
THE fact is, your grace" said he
that my colleague, DR. Watson, and
myself had an assurance from Dr.

Under the latter heading is included
no doubt not only those who may have
taken him away, but also those who

Sherlock Holmes, you will have no rea-
