A Well known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world today is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation,
Indigestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from an impure state of the
blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century and are sold in
every drug and medicine store, either
plain or sugar coated. 49-1

did, for almost Immediately Jerrard
came up to the stairs and occupied the
place he had just vacated.
Presently Jerrard saw Mortimer and
he crept downstairs again. Then the
two men returned together, passed
along the passage and entered Mr..
Perrin's private room, where the safe
was. Evison was waiting with bated
breath in a doorway further along the
corridor
As soon as the two accomplices had
entered the private office, Evison stole
along and stood in the shadow of the
half-clOsed door.
1t was entirely as he suspected.
Jerrard opened the safe door and with
drew the estimate for the two liners
from an inner drawer. Then MOrti-
mer produced some pieces of paper and
commenced to make notes.
Good evening, gentlemen"
Both men looked up in sudden ter
rOr to meet EvisOn's smiling gaze. Be-
fore another word was spoken, how
ever, Mortimer jumped to his feet and
rushed from the room. Jerrard and
EvisOn stood looking at one another.
80, my friend,'' commenced Evison,
deliberately, this is how you serve
your uncle?"
"Spyr' hissed Jerrard, and for a mo-
ment he made as if to spring at Evil
son, but something in the latter's de-
meanor made him suddenly alter his
mind. Then he took a fresh line of
tactics.

"Engaged-to your"
please don't mention it, though, as
Dolly does not want anyone to know

doorway. For a moment they were

to recover himself.

A thousand words of defense sprang
to his lips, but ere he could utter one
he remembered Dorothy. If he told
all he knew it would break DOrOthy's
heart.

have you to say?'

thoughtful, and gazed meditatively at
the papers before him. Arthur waited
in trepidatiOn for some moments, un-

it cannot be. Forgive me for saying

terly.
| Not exactly that, Arthur replied
Mr.. Perrin, ''but-"He became silent
Then L suppose it is useless, sir?"
Il am afraid so, my bOy.''
! And so they settled matters without
dreaming of consulting Dorothy.
| Arthur EvisOn left Mr. Perrin's of
flee and went out into the cool even
ing air. The decision of his chief af-
fected him considerably; he felt
checking sensation, his brain was
whirling and everything around SEEM
ed to dance before his eyes.
| He must go away from W. Yes,
there was no doubt of that; he could
not live So near to Dorothy and know
all the while that she could never be
anything to him. He decided that he
would ask Mr.. Perrin to let him go to
the firms office in London and take
up an appointment there
All the while he was stumbling for
ward through the twilight, crossing
an unfrequented part of the common
which led to Erkon Beacon. Presently
he sat down by a clump of furze and
again commenced to think over his
sudden misery. At that moment the
wind carried the murmur of voices
to him. Presently the speakers drew
near, and EvisOn distinguished the
voices of Walter Jerrard and Morti-
mer, the clerk in the employ of Josiah
Grey. As they passed by Evison's re-
treat, Jerrard was speaking.
THAT will be it, then,'' he was say
ing. You meet me at the back door
in IlstOn lane at 10 o'clock tomorrow
night, and I'll let you in. You can
get the tender and" their voices died
away.
Arthur jumped to his feet and stared
into the gloom after the retreating
figures.
Ten o'clock tomorrow night? The
tender. What did it mean? Did Jer-
rard mean treachery?
All thoughts of his own troubles
were driven from his head. There
was evidently some scheme on foot to
get at Mr.. Perrin's estimate for the
two new liners. EviSOn knew that
if the estimate or a copy of it, got into
the hands of the rival firm they would
underquOte Mr.. Perrin and so secure
the order.
''I'll be there at 10 o'clock as WELL"
he said to himself, land see what goes
on
On arriving at the office on the fol-
lowing morning he found that Mr.. Per-
rim would be away for the day. Jer-
rard was there, as usual, but very pale
and preOccupied. The day seemed to
pass by with leaden wings, and Evi-
son was heartily glad when the hour
of departure arrived.
At IlstOn lane there was a back en-
trance to Mr.. Perrin's office The
door worked with a spring, and could
only be opened from the outside with
"a key. Thus anyone locked in the
office could get out without any
trouble
With this knowledge in his mind,
Arthur EvisOn allowed himself to be
locked in. The porter made his usual

THE SEASIDE HOSPITAL AT STAKE.

I
The Association for Improving the Condition
of the Poor makes known that the affairs or
the proposed Seaside Hospital, to cost S2oO,OOO,
are Just now in critical condition. In order
to secure the establishment Of that noble insti-
tuition the sum of $4,000 must be raised by
June 3O-the day after tomorrow. If that sum
is not forthcoming. the opportunity will pass,
and the hope OF forty-fve hundred crippled chill
dren in New York. and, indeed, of sixty thou
sand throughout the country, will be indefinitely
deferred.
The Sea Breeze experiment in the last two
years has demonstrated the vast value of such
an institution TO cure children already crippled
with tubercuar ailments and to check the null
tiplication of such cripples through infection.
The establishment Of the proposed hospital
would put New York at par with European
cities in this matter and would set an inspiring
example to the whole United States.
The $4,000 already conditionally subscribed
surely should not be lost through failure to get
the remaining $4,000 The endowment of a
memorial wing would complete the work, or
the endowment of a ward, even cot would
help toward il. Certainly these three days
should afford sufficient time for the wealth and
philanthropy of New York to assure the speedy
establishment of this much needed institution.
