While speaking he had gradually
raised his voice: For I've had
enough OF all your combinations
and shufflings. You see where
all this leads! No no,
this time I shall employ radi-
cal methods, and l shall act myself
to be sure of succeeding"
Then do so, Mann said the
comte.
An hour later the Hindoo presented
himself tNthe Hotel des Nouvelles-
HebFides, with a little valise in his
hand, wearing a duster and the
travelling cap he had bought in Eu.
The landlady herself showed him
into the room he was TO occupy and,
while following her down the pas
sage on the second story, he smiled
cOntentedly. 4 pair OF shoes out
side the door of No. showed that
Lucien Delorme was there.
Midnight had come. The, house
was silent. The gas had been put
out long before. The waiter was in
the office sleeping while expecting
the arrival Of belated guests.
Nam stood watching behind his
door, listening with strained ears
for the slightest sound. He was a
tiger lurking in ambush, ready to
spring.
HR dark lantern was lighted, his
bunch OF keys ready, and he had
wrapped a black veil around his
head and put on dark gloves so that
he could not be seen walking in the
shadow.
He had already carefully planned
his flight. BY the side Of his win
dow the post Of a gas lantern rose
along the wall, as is the case in all
the small streets. To put out this
light, and then let himself slide
down the wall would be to him
mere Child's play.
He recalled the information fur
nisI1ed by Juliette; the bed at the
right on entering the room.

All this passed through his brain

him as clearly as il a veil had been

bursting with pain, grief, bewilder-

WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.
You are often told to "heware I'D a

You are often told to beware OF a
cold" but why?. We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who con-
tract pneumonia first take cold. The
longer cold hangs on, the greater
the danger. especially from the germ
diseases. as acold prepares the system
for the reception and development OF
the germs of consumption, diptheria,
scarlet fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold, the
less danger of contracting one OF these
diseases. Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy has a great reputation as a cure
for colds and can be depended upon

The WooIeack.

The woolsack is the big red bag,
without back or arms, on which the
lord chancellor sits when presiding
over the deliberations of the house OF
lords. Its origin is curious. An act
was passed in Elizabeth's reign pro-
hibiting the expectation of wool, and to
keep this source of national wealth in
their lordships' minds the kindergarten
notion Of making them sit on wool bags
was tried. Nowadays, when a new
chancellor is appointed he is said to
be appointed to the woolsack and to sit
on the woolsack.
