IT is all well that ends well.
Mona, darling, he was saying,
when she fully comprehended.
Catching Brisbane was the best
thing possible. It's the luck of
your birthday, darling. But
where should I have been by
now, if it hadn't been for ZettoP
Yes. It was he who did it.
Mona said, shuddering.
He did it, bless him! Ned re.
peated, not understanding the
shudder. And all the time I've
been SO jealous that I've come
pretty close to hating him. They
told me that he was a gentleman,
disguised because he loved you.
And he was such a handsome fell
low,and so near you, and could do
so much for you. Twas soafraid
he would take advantage of your
birthday, just as wanted to, and
that my brave little girl might
accept some gift from him first,
and think more of it than she
thought of mine. Ihad to write
the letter. at least, to let you
know that mine was coming.
Inever misjudged a man in all
my life as I did Zetto. 4 wonder
if I could have been man enough
to have done it for him. He said
he told you he was coming to
warn me of the intercepted letter
and the plot, which he discovered
when they came to him this noon
and told him to have all of the SER
wants out of the house and be
ready to help them. He said he
told you too he was never coming
back; but I don't believe he con- |
fessed that it was because he
must fly for his life. He is hurry
ing back to Spain. He'd not be |
safe an hour nyWhere in Mexico, |
after betraying the border gang. |
And it was all because he loved |
you and knew that you loved me. |
He is a bigger man than I could
have been, I'm afraid But
Mona, unworthy as / am I love
you; and you'll not say no? He
said you loved me.
Mona felt the ring slipping up
On her finger and she held Ned's
hand fast as her answer. But
her thoughts were distracted.
What her lips said was: Zetto was
3 very noble friend. / want to
find him someway and tell him so.
Then her eyes fell on the ring,
and she remembered all it meant
other things that it was
The one moment of woman's life
when it was her prerogative to
.orment. She laid her hand on
5he soldiers arm; butlooking into
5he fire she said:
May be you won t want me, Ned,
when I have told you all.
All what, dearest? What could
you possibly tell me that would
make me feel like that? He was
oending tenderly over her.
Why, what I must tell you, she
'eplied. That Zetto did make me

le would; that | accepted it be-
ore I accepted yours, and that I

Rams had been in use there for
some time, which by 1870 or 200
strokes per minute caused a steady
advance of the piles. The foundation
was such that the pillars had to be
driven through the quicksand down to
the solid ground.
On withdrawing some piles, the
points of the latter were found, owing
to the enormous friction, to have
been charred entirely and heated to
such a point as to begin burning
spontaneously on coming in contact
with the air; nor could iron shoes
prevent this spontaneous ignition.

PAIN IN The JOINTS
Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr..
lt Williams Pink Pills Make
Ak New Blood.

The first sign Of rheumatism is fire.
Iuently pain and swelling in one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, whichis the seat Of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. I. T. Pitcher, Of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark. N. IT,, suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
\" It began with queer feeling in my
fingers. In little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had Jumps on
them and ! could rot get my gloves on.
\ @Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. / could not stand up and
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than I can describe. took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. .I
~ read an account of cure in case
that was exactly like mine and my hus-
band got me some Of the pills. j took
them for three weeks before I really felt
better but they finally cured me. =
Mr.. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a
member Of E. d. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife IS
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Feat Of a Greek Scholar

1t may safely be said that no feat Of
translation in any age has never
equalled that achieved by Prof. Jebb
in rendering Browning's "Abt yogler"
into Greek verse. This fine soliloquy
OF the musician is less obscure, no
doubt, than many other of its authors
productions, but it abounds in imagery
and In turns Of thought which even
an Englishman finds it not very easy
to follow and Of which he could hardly
have conceived it possible that anv
Greek equivalents should exist. Yet
they did exist. for Jebb found them.

other Greek scholar living would have

the hemlocks of Maine to the flowers
of Florida, and vet how different

In history 1t is recorded as being the

of devoted, self-sacrifcing Christian
men, who, Drawing the hardships Of
emigration. not for the love of gain,
but to help their fellow men, built
the Brainard mission on the spictur-

Missionary Ridge.
1t was in 1917 that the Rev. Cyrus
Kingsbury, Ainsworth F. Blunt, ana
the Rev. John Vail first viewed the
site Of their mission. They were sent
here by the American board of com
missiOners for foreign missions, and
the same board had provided for the
erection of mission, including school
buildings and home for the mission
aries. But the contractors failed in
their contract, and the missionaries
were left without money and without

by Philamon Bird in 1852. He tore
down the small structure and built
what is now know as Birds mill.
On May n, 1919, the president Of
the United States, James Monroe, ap-

Gen. Gaines. Although, surprised by
his visit, the missionaries were ready

adopted as the emblem Of silence. The
