well knew. but the most inveterate liars

truth. Looking back he remembered that
the admiral had been grlevously offended
BY the promotion of his brother officer
and had rallied bitterly against the Gov

''Heaven Forbid" The solemnity OF the
saslor's tone caused Mrs. Plessey to look
at him curlously.

But his sympathy was not for her, Il

the presence of certain loathsome animals

"Oh. that would do no good! When
men are shot. then papers are ransacked

at the thought of losing Maud. l wish,
she added bitterly. that any man had

CHAPTER XIV

A WEEK passed. and every time he
a heard the postman's ring he half ex-
pected to receive a note from Maud In
answer to the FIRST letters he had sent TO
Edgeworth Square. But that note did not
come. He did not believe that It ever
would come. She had meant what she
sald-that they must part He told him
self that he aequieseed. but he found
himself at odd moments meditating plans
OF action. deyising schemes Of vengeance
upon Gilbert Huron.
Fortunately, his work made great de-
mands just now upon his time and ener-
giles. Dereye was busy turning their
business into a private syndicate, Of which
he and Arr0l were 20 be the managing
directors The mere fitting up Of their

goad the man into action. He was power
less All that he could do for Maud was
to give her up.
He fumbled in his coat for his pocket
book and extracted from 1t the draft OF an
appeal which he had intended to send her
that night He took 1t between his fingers
and, haltlng on the steps of the mansion
where he lived, tore It into small pieces.
For a moment he stood watching the tiny,
white scraps fluttering before the wind up
and down Victoria street. One was blown
high in the air so high that 1t was soon
lost to sight, He hoped that It was the
fragment which bore her name
He turned and went heavily up the
stairs His brothers fiat was empty at
th, moment II seemed strangely lonely
and chill. He sat down in An armchair
and lit a pipe. He wondered what he was
going 10 do with himself. He had parted
now with all interest in his ship, his
articles OF partnership with Dereve were
actually signed. He couldn't go back to
sea II he wanted to. He had no parucu-
lar desire to go back He had no partic-
ular desire for anything Forty-eight
hours ago he had had two objects In life
to marry Maud and to clear his name
Well. he could do neither. In a dull way
II occurred to him that he might alter
all, be free TO pursue the second or these
objects, but he had no desire to do 40.
II people chose to think he had shot
poof old PIessey-well, as the lawyer
said. let them. He had the law and his
own consciousness OF innocence on his
side People got over these things, Time
healed all wounds. He repeated these
platltudes TO himself He rose wearily
and went out 10 inspect his and Dereves
new offices further down Victoria street.

sDodsOn's Liver Tone" better than
 calOmel and can not sallvate.

Calomel loses you day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silderI Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite; cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents large bot tie, of Dodson's Liver Tone. which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute TOT calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straigh- tens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't grlpe.
