more toward the bed. "How many ?'
he said laconically.
Chilcote lifted his head. His face was
pitiably drawn, but the feverish bright

"Five" Involuntarily Loder lowered
the hand that held the tube. From pre-
vious condolences of Chilcotes he knew
the amount of morphia contained in
each tabloid and realized that FIVE tab
loids. if not an absolutely dangerous
was at least an excessive dose. even
for one accustomed to the drug. For a
moment his resolution failed. Then the
dominant note of his nature-the un-
conscious, fundamental egotism on
which his character was based-assert-
ed itself beyond denial. It might be
reprehensible, it might even be crimi-
nal to accede to such request made
by man in such q condition of body
and mind; yet the laws of the universe
demanded self assertion-prompted ev-
cry human mind to desire, to grasp and
to hold. With perception swifter than
any he had experienced he realized the
certain respite to be gained by yielding
to his impulse. He looked at Chilcote
with his haggard, anxious expression,
his eager, restless eyes, and vision of
himself followed sharp upon his glance.
A vision of the untiring labor of the
past ten days, of the slowly kindling
ambition, of the supremacy all but
gained. Then, as the picture completed
itself, he lifted his hand with an abb
rupt movement and dropped the five
tabloids one after another into the
glass.

For fifty minutes he held the interest

need Of action. He unhesitatingly
pointed out that the news which had
just reached England was not SO much
an appalling fact as a sinister warning
to those in whose keeping lay the safety
of the country's interests. Lastly. with
a fine touch OF eloquence. he paid trib-
ute to the steadfast fidelity Of such men

ever political complications arise at
home, pursue their duty unswervingly
ON the outposts Of the empire.
At his last words there was silence

The tumult swelled, then fell away.
and in the partial lull that followed
Fraide leaned over the back of his seat.
His quiet. dlgnified expression was I'M

and nonincriminating reply defended

though any disquietude he may have
felt was well disguised under tone OF
reassuring ease the attempt to reha-
biIitate his position-already weakened
in more than one direction-was a task
beyond his strength.
Amid extraordinary excitement the
division followed, and with it a govern

A groan of relief fell from Chilcote,
and the muscles of his face relaxed.
For moment he lay back with closed
eyes. then the desire that tortured him
stirred afresh He lifted his eyelids
and looked at his companion. Hand

me. Give il to me, Loder, quick as
you can. There's a glass on the table
and some whisky and water. The
tabloids dissolve, you know In his
new excitement he held out his hand.
But Loder stayed motionless. He
had come to fight. to demand, to plead,
if need be, for the one hour for which
he had lived-the hour that was to
satisfy all labor, all endeavor, all am
bition. With logged persistence he
made one more essay.

effort his whole frame was shaken.

then back to the bed. A deep agita-

began. Then unaccountably his voice
changed. The suggestion that had

said in lower voice. "All right!

He crossed to where the empty tum-
bier stood and hastily mixed the whis-
key and water, then crossing to the

set with determination. when he closed
the outer door of his own rooms and
passed quietly down the stairs and out
into the silent court. The thought Of
Chilcote, his pitiable condition, his sor-

There are hundreds of thousands OF
people all over this blessed country OF
ours who have been cured of obstinate,
chronic diseases through the use of DIR.
Plerce'S Medicines and it is only natural
that such people should rise up and speak
their sentiments pretty freely when DIR.
Pierce and his medicines are so unjuStly
attacked.
These grateful patients Of DR.. Pierce
are to be found in almost every hamlet
houses and mechanics cottages in every
nook and corner of this great country.
Common gratitude prompts such people
TO stand up and defend DIR. Pierce and
his medicines against unjust and ma
Hclous attacks.
DR.. Pierce's Medicines have been on
sale in drug stores all over this country
and in many foreign lands for more than
forty years and yet their sale continues
to grow in substantial and most graft

they were not remedies of more than

which he bore the uncertainty. To sit
apparently unmoved and wait without
emotion for news that might change
the whole tenor Of ones action would
have tried the stoicism of the most
experienced; to the novice it was well
nigh uncomfortable. And it was under
these conditions and fighting against
these odds that he sat through the long
afternoon in Chilcote's place. obeying
the dictates Of his chief. But if the
day was fraught with difficulties for
him it was fraught with dizziness and
disappointment for others, for the un-
dercurrent OF interest that had stirred
at the Easter adjournment and risen
with added force on this first day of
the new session was gradually but
surely threatened with extinction as
hour after hour passed bringing no
suggestion of the battle that had on
every side been tacitly expected.
Slowly and Enthusiastically speculation
and dissatisfaction crept into the at
mosphere of the house as moment sue

made no sign Was Fraide Sinking
the attack or was he playing a waiting
game? Again and again the question
arose, filing the air with a passing
flicker OF interest. but each time it
sprang up only to die down again as
the ordinary business OF the day drag
ged itself out.
Gradually, as the afternoon wore on,
daylight began to fade. Loder, sitting
rigidiy in Chilcote's place, watched
with suppressed inquiry the faces Of
the men who entered through the con-
stantly swinging doors, but not one
face, so eagerly scanned, carried the
message for which he waited. Monot-
