1t has long been claimed that Uia.

school, has pleasing evidence to the
contrary. Mr.. Thompson had Diabe-
ties. He took Dodd's Kidney Pills and

regarding the cure Mr.. Thompson
says:

Tor more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in

be done for me. Then | started to

Many doctors still maintain that Di

CHAPTER VIII.
Dr.. Jeremiah Cartwright.

A few moments elapsed, at the end
of which time the door of the vestry
opened again. This time to admit a
small, middle-aged gentleman, whose
somewhat imposing Roman nose was
surmounted by pair of gold-rimmed
spectacles, and whose civil garb had
an almost military cut and preciseness
about it.
He cleared his throat and gave
sharp little cough like double knock.
Il beg your pardon, my dear sir, |
hope I'm not disturbing you, but"
Ted Burritt rose to his feet and
seemed, all at once, to wake from
the apathy of grief which had over
come him when he realized that his
worst fears had been surpassed, and
that his beloved parent had met with
horrible death, such as the most
abandoned criminal might have shud-
dered at. His eyes were bloodshot;

CHAPTER VIl.-Continued.

For some reason Ted Burritt re-
NAMED behind. "Ill let them go
first" he said to himself.
In the meantime, those who had
been to view the body in the vestry re-
turned. 1t was evident from their
manner, and the short time they had
been absent, that no Identification
had taken place.
Ted Burritt, with his heart beating
wildly now, turned in the same direc-
ton. On the extemporized bier body
lay, the lower limbs of which were
covered with cloth, leaving the face
and the upper part of the body ex-
posed to view. Ted Burritt saw that
it was the face of man of about
fifty years of age, with features that
must have been handsome in their day
but which in death wore an expression
of agonized expectancy-the ex-
preston of one who recognized the
full horror of the fate that awaited
him.
1t was the face of his own father!

stances, as you may have seen for

Ted Burritt uttered a groan, as the
doctor wound up in a breathless con-
dition.

recovering himself in no time. But

mans shoulder-"you mustn't give

other poor folks-the church is full

nothing left of their dead, but a few
ashes-a handful of black dust. What
is more, in most cases, they do not
even know which particular handful
OF dust, or how many of the ashes
they may claim as their own. Com

fourth carriage from the engine, a
first class carriage it was, and he was
the only occupant, This carriage was
thought to be empty, as no cries were
heard, and it was generally believed
that whatever passengers it might
have contained had made their escape
before the flames reached it, Of
course, the supposition is that he was
disabled, perhaps killed outright, by
the effects of the collision; for the car
riage was much damaged, and we had

itself over his countenance.

Ted Burritt turned toward him with
something like an appearance Of in

went on:

One Sunday evening many winters
ago. during a revival meeting In
church In Bangor, Me-, a certain citi-
zen who was we'll known as hard bar

grievances, was evidently touched by
the spirit of the meeting. for he arose
and told of his regrets as to his sinful
and selfish life, saying that he was re-
solved to deal Justly and live upright
". and, If there was any one within
the sound of his voice who felt that he
had wronged him and would come to
his home the next day he would make
restitution.
The next morning about l o'clock
the midnight quiet of his neighborhood
was broken by very loud knocking
on his front door, and voice which
showed much impotence asked, Hal
