For behold the wrath of the Lord i. upon you. The scourge of pestilence is raised to smite you down."
 Holles looked over the heads of the assembled citizens, and beheld black with sunken eyes that glowed un- cannily from the depths of their sockets. Nc
 "Repent!'' the voice croaked. "Awaken Behold your peril. and by prayer and reparation set yourselves to avert it whiles yet 1t may be time. Within the Parish of St. Giles this week lie thirty dead of this dread pestilence, ten in St. Clements and as many in St. Andrews, Holborn. These are but warnings. Slowly but surely the plague is creeping upon the city. As Sodonn of old was de- stroyed, so shall this modern Sodom perish, unless you rouse yourselves, and cast out the evil that is amongst you"
 Holles moved on. He had heard odd allusious to this pestilence which Was said to be making victims in the outskirts and which it was alleged by some fools was a weapon of warfare wielded by the Dutch--at lease, that it was the Dutch who had let it loose in England.
 At he moved on. a man of hand some presence and soldierly bearing. with the dress and air of a gentle man, considered him intently with eyes of startled wonder. As Holes came abreast of him, he suddenly stepped forward, detaching from the

The girls face psled a bit, but she answered promptly yes. Then her native cunning asserted is if. and she shot three question at Lil- lian.
 Alone? On the train? Why"
 Lillian smiled.
 No, not alone, with me-" SFs said. And you will go on the train. The reason l am not going to tell you. but it is a good one. Sit down an,l listen carefully to what l have to say
 The girl sank obediently into E. chair. with her eyes fixed on Lillian's.
 ''I wish to take you and our three brothers. the two older ones, and the i've -tear-old, to New York with me tonight on the train" Lil- lian said slowly. You will stay at a hotel with me tonight. l will show you some of the sights of the city to- morrow morning and you will come home on the afternoon train safe and sound to your mother. We will buy the children new outfits of clothing from head 10 foot which they may keep, and we will pay your mother ten dollars if she will let you all so. But the reason why you will not know. It concerns only ourselves, and cannot possibly do any harm to any one. There is only one thing. None of you must say until after you are home again single thing about the journey, or even that the children are not at home. After you come home, you may tell anybody you please ali about it. Will you do it?''

ABDOMINAL INJURIES

When a careful study is made of the human figure one is struck with the adequate protection afforded against injuries. The cranium (head) which contains the brain. is securely boxed. The thorax or chest covers the heart and lungs, also carefully pro- tected by the barred structure of the ribs.
 But when we come to the lower di- vision of the trunk, we find that the abdominal viscera are only protected by the walls of comparatively soft tissue. Practically all of the abdominal yiscefa are easily open to outside at Jacks.
 Abdominal injuries may result from q great variety of causes. The first class are termed subcutaneous, in- cuding contusions. The second are open wounds.
 Subcutaneous injuries may be con- fined to the abdominal wall or there may be lesions of the viscera also. Open injuries may be confined to the abdominal wall without penetrating it, or they may simply penetrate the ab- domen, without injury to the viscers, or there may be prolapse or wound of the yiscera.
 One of the chief preventive meas ures in guarding the abdominal yis- cera from injury is careful body posture both in standing and sitting. If the organs are not restricted by improper posture, they will be strong and healthy in repelling any injury, as well as aiding in rapid recovery. If the muscles are loose and flabby through lack of proper posture and exercise, their defense is practically nil.
 Abdominal injuries may be just as serious when inflicted by oneself as though by an open knife wound or serious blow. kick or fall. Avoid sud den action in stretching or trying to reach your full limit. Injuries to the kidneys, a rupture or serious impair ment to the other abdominal organs are often the result of such careless ness.

Lillian Put Her Proposition
 Tn to Mamie

I hurried down to the kitchen. co- Ing with extra care past my mother in-law's room. She was asleep, and l devoutly hoped that nothing would awaken her until we had finished ar ranging the bizarre expedition with which Lillian hoped to mislead the detective who had been sent to trail the four orphaned children of William and Eli2ah beth Harrison.
 The smell of savory cooking filled the kitchen, and Katie was hustling about in the preparation of dinner which in her opinion, a most criti- cal one, would do justice to the de- parture of the Braithwaites and their orphaned charges. Jim was helping her, and both turned ey- pectant, interested faces to me when I entered. That my emphatic cau- tion concerning giving out any infor- nation as to our movements, even to the Ticers, had excited their curios- ity and their imagination was plain, but even voluble Katie put no question to me.
 I'm sorry to interrupt your work, Katie" l said, but will you please go across the road and bring Mamie back with you if you can? If not find out the earliest minute she can come over"
 Katie tossed her head, her usual declaration of independence.
 T no need dot Mamie" she said importantly. "She goot enough to clean rooms"--this with infinite con- desoension-'but in kitchen she two, tree boonches of soop greens"
 Sending For Mamie
 We do not want her to help you Katie" explained with more patience than I felt. Mrs. Under wood wishes something of her"
 "oh-h !'' My little maids eyes were rounder than ever as she hastily un- tied her apron and threw a coat over her head and shoulders. T go me dees meenite. Jsem, eff you let dot caalifiower burn, I put kettle und burned stuff oppside down on your head"
 She accompanied the threat with | giggle as she hurried out of the door. Jim looked sheepishly askance at me.
 Katie doesn't mean" he be- gan.
 Don't think you have to apolo- gize for Katie to me, Jim," laughed. We have been together too many years for me to misunderstand her"
 "Yes, that's so," Jim observed relievedly, and went on with his stirring of some connection which his wife evidently had delegated to him, while l smiled to myself, as often had done before, at the curious yet happy combination which stolid sober Jim and voluble. cratic Katie made. It was but few minutes before Katie returned with Mamie in tow But there vas neither curiosity nor excitement in Mamie's eyes. Whether her demeanor was due to stolidlty, or deter- imitation to betray nothing Of her thoughts to strangers. did not know nor did I bother 10 con- lecture, but beckoning her 10 follow | me led the way to Lillian's room. Ishering her in, I turnt to leave. | but an imperative gesture from nis | friend stopped me, and waited. | siad of the opportunity 10 observe | the girl whose spirit and intelli- 1 genee had admired upon the oc. easion of her mothers arrest sor distilling whiskey.

 "I?" Again that slow, half-scorn- ful smile lighted the grave. hand some face. He shrugged. He leaned toward Holes. and dropped his voice still further. My rather was not a reeicide." he said quietly. There fore. I am comparatively obscure"
 Holies looked at him, the eager pleasure which the meeting had brought him whitening in his face. Would men ever keep green the memory of this thing and of the silly tie with which they had garnished it? Must 1t ever prove an insuper- able obstacle to him in Stuart England?
 Nay, nay. never look so rium. man." Tucker laughed, and he. took the Colonel by the arm. Let Us go somewhere where ve can talk. We should have a deal 10 tell each other"
 Holes swung him round.
