How the Great Herd Vanished in

these great animals migrated in easy

grasses even as far south as Texas,
and embracing in their grazing
grounds the country from the east

The streams in this area run
from northwest to southeast at an
average of II TO Is miles apart, SO
that the buffalo was easily in reach

defined that it is only within the

The color flew to Lucille's face, and
a thrill ran through her whole frame;
but the color went, and left her white
and calm again as she looked her tor
mentor full in the seemingly innocent
face.

The next moment the marquis was
heard in the hall calling TO them that
they should lose the train, and Lu'
ellie went down.
A crowd of the holiday-makers had
ventured to collect at the bottom OF
the steps to see the bride depart, and
they raised a cheer as Lucille ap
peared.
Lucille gazed at them absently, but
the marquis lifted his hat and bowed
with pleasant smile.

The marquis smiled presently anC

and said, with a laugh:

The words and the covert insoienc

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount OF
air. The result is shortness OF
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem

and muscles, and in this way

Lucille was cold and forbidding?
The money-the money was the
thing,
Though the season had passed.
there were enough people in Lon
don to make goodly show OF paste
board in the card basket, and Lu-
ellie found that her fame had pre-
ceded her and all that remained OF
London was that anxious to see the
Warehouses of Merle, who was also
the famous Lady of Darracourt-
But she received the cards and
the visitors coldly and indifferently.
"Is it necessary to see all these
people?" she asked of the marquis
on the third day
Not unless you like" he answer
ed But it would be polite to do
So You can leave cards If that
will suit you better"
at will suit me much better than
going to be stared at and talked to, ="
she said, YEARLY.
The days passed on, and still the
marquis did not seem over anxious
to leave London.
He was out all day and late into
the night. Lucille could hear him
enter the adjoining room in the
small hours, with heavy, dragging
step.
She never inquired how he spent
the time He had his friends, MS
club, as he had said. She did not
guess that the marquis had stepped
into the whirlpool of the gaming ia.
BILE, and that his evenings were
Ispent at the baccarat table of the
Hazard Club.
One afternoon one of the footmen
at the club brought the marquis q
card.
THE gentleman was waiting in
| he visitors room"
The marquis nodded, and kept the
visitor waiting until he had finished
his game, then went downstairs. Il
was Mr.. Stake, not familiar as he
, had once been at the Hall, but OBJ
| sequious and respectful
Sorry to disturb your lordship, bnt
extreme pressure
The marquis nodded and smiled
his cold smile.
"All right, Stake" he said; II ex
pected you before this"
ooh, no, my lord: l shouldn't thinl
of troubling you even now if had
, MT been pressed" Te1oined Mr.
Stake, humbly protesting. Time:

did so he glanced back a few pages
at some penciled figures showing
/ the state of his balance; then ht
added the calculation, and found
| that he had overdrawn his account

understood
Certainly, my lord" he said re
e spectfully. Then, as he took his
! hat, he added: Il haven't had al
opportunity of congratuIating YOU
lordship-"
The marquis smiled affably.
Mr. Stake took his glass of wine
and went, and the marquis returned
to his escarte.
A large sum of money had been
placed at his disposal on the day
of his marriage-an enormous sum
and it had disappeared. He must
have three thousand pounds by to
morrow morning for Mr.. Stake
When he reached Meurice's that
night, or rather the next morning
he was still poorer, for he had lost
heavily during the evening, and he
came down to breakfast rather paier
than usual but with a smile upon
his false face
