done much for him after business
hours. if not from friendship. at least
from interest or lively sense of bene-
fits to come. For that reason he had
invited him to participate in the valu-
able Siowitha deal, supposing man
as comparatively poor as Selwyn
would not only jump at the opportuni-
ty, but also prove sufficiently grateful
later. And he had been amazed and
Disguised at Selwyn's attitude. But
he had not supposed the man would
sever his connection with the firm If
he, Neergard, went ahead on his own
responsibility. 1t astonished and irri-
tated him. 1t meant. instead of selfish
or snobbish Indifference to his own
social ambitions. an enemy to block
his entrance into what he desired-the
society of those made notorious in the
columns of the daily press.
He was fairly on the outer boundary
now. though still very far outside. But
a needy gentleman inside was already

to support him, for his meeting with
Jack Ruthven through Gerald had
proved of greatest Importance. He
had lost gracefully to Ruthven and
in doing it had taken that gentleman's
measure. And. though Ruthven him.

Neergard had made no error in taking
him secretly into the deal where to-

to exploit the club, from which Ruth

escape any assessment himself.
Neergard's progress had now reach
ed this stage. His programme was
simpIe-to wallow among the wealthy
until satiated. then to marry into that
agreeable community and found the
house of Neergard. And to that end
he had already bought building site
on Fifth avenue, but held it in the
name of the firm. as though 1t had been
acquired for purposes merely specula-

How to Cure a Cold.

Be as careful as you can you will
occasionally take cold, and when you
do, get medicine of known reliability,
one that has an established reputation
and that is certain to effect a quick
cure. Such a medicine is Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t has gained a
world wide reputation by its remark
able cures of this most common all
ment, and cam always be depended
upon. 1t acts on natures plan, re-
lieves the lungs, aids expectoration,
"opens the secretions and aids nature in
restoring the system to healthy con-
dition. During the many years in
which it has been in general use we
have yet to learn of a single case of
cold or attack of the grip having re-
suited in pneumonia when this remedy
was used, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. Chamberlain

other narcotic and may be given as
