Startling but True.

We have been exploiting Miraco
through the medium of your col
umns for the past several months
and find from the number of let
ters that we are receiving that our
efforts are bearing fruits, and
that your patrons are becoming to
know Miraco for what it is. 1t
is true that Miraco is nothing but
a mineral water. But while that
is the case, and while it is alb
solutely harmless, it is a most
powerful drug, for otherwise it
could not relieve kidney disease
from three days to three weeks,
indigestion in ten minutes, regu-
late a palpitating or weak heart
in ten minutes and cure diarrhoea
or cramp collie in fifteen minutes
or less time.
We submit the following letter
from Mr.. Reilly, the president
and manager of the great coffee
house in New Orlean, Reilly
Taylor & Co.
New Orleans, La, Feb. 20, '0S
Gentlemen:-I want to write to
you about Miraco, for believe it
to be one of the most wonderful
remedies in the world and the
people should know sbout it.
Several days ago on my return
from New York, / was suffering
from sick stomach, accompanied
with very severe pains. l was
given all kinds of remedies, but
without relief, and in this manner
suffered four on five days. Final
ly by my own hook, l tried your
Miraco, having heard it recon-
mended so highly for such
troubles. Positively in five min
utes 1 began to feel relief and
in two hours, after the second
dose l was absolutely well. You
truly have a wonderful remedy
and you ought to make a million
dollars out of it.
Yours truly,
WM. B. REILLY.

E IL was bloated with moist bank
notes, besides which Lady
Starkie positively refused to have him
about the hotel that evening. 1t was
against the rules for bridegrooms as
laid down by her ladyship, who dined
very solemnly with her niece alone
and got to bed at reasonable hour for
the first time that week. Claire then
had their sitting room to herself, and
she drew out the oiled silk packet
which had fallen into her handEthat
afternoon. 1t was thin and oBlong,
like the letter 1t plainly contained. Un-
der the lamp Claire's name and the
address of her old home were still
legible beneath the silk, though they,
no longer stood out as when the skin
was wet. And on the reverse side was
written very small, "For PHYS sake.
forward this"
When? After his death? Fate had
forwarded 1t before. Should she read
or destroy or return this letter to its
writer-to the criminal who had con-
fessed to her his crime? Some min
utes after Claire Harding asked her.

lamp and cut the oiled silk open with

the letter had been written some time,

Agitated as she was, however, by
these dreadful memories and touched
by the mere fact Of his having written
to her on that awful Monday, 1t was
the first sentence of his letter that ran
into her heart like molten lead. He
called himself an innocent man! From
the brink Of the grave came that lie,
that blasphemy, which he had lived to
confess to her with his crime! She
read on mechanically, and all at once
her pain ceased. She was lost and

Here was bombshell from the least
expected quarter, at the least expected
time. Tom felt the blood rush to his
face. draining his heart, but he stood
his ground until Daintree ordered him
out of the way of the windows. Claire
sat motionless. Lady Starkle was less
calm. But Daintree rose up from the
table with perfect but ostentatious
sangfroid, and he patted Peggy on the
back as a party of horsemen rode In
front of the veranda.
"Quite right, my girl! cried ne.
'They shall not lay a finger on him.
Never you fear He has me at his
back, and so have you" With that he
strutted through the French windows,
fourishing his napkin and quite de-

81 thought so. I've heard the idea.
But who will you get to swear to him
as having been there?"

and Peggy was gazing at him with
shining eyes when Claire rose from the
table and swept out of the room with

OF all this James Dalntree spoke SO
feelingly and with such an obviously
earnest purpose that Lady Starkie was
quite moved and undertook to use her
influence with Claire in the matter Of
the convict servants.
But 1t was of no avail.
Daintree drove the ladies into Sgd

from the stables to the house the mas

She turned. and there was Daintree,
up to his waist in water with the
drops raining from his face and whisk-
ers and shaded eyes sweeping the blue.
The boat was coming in keel upward
with the tide. The dog and Tom had
vanished OFF the face of the waters.
| Daintree dashed in again and met
the wreck as her mast struck bottom.
Tom was still struggling underneath
her, caught fast in the cordage. His
struggles ceased as he was wrenched
free. When Daintree got him to land
| his mouth and ears were in froth,
and Claire stood by like woman turn
ed to stone.
A small crowd collected slowly. 1t
did not contain the man who had caus-
ed the mischief. The trees had swal-
lowed him once more.
The crowd surrounded Tom and
Daintree, who had stripped his servant

Daintree had his hands full with the

"Nor was l." he faitered. "You soon
