BY MRS. M. CHAPTKR Xl.-Contlnard. "I don't know to Italy, perhaps, where I met him. I believe lie has a castle Or au estate out there. He. may have they may have gone to it." 'Roy, you will do nothing rash? Promise me, for your mother's sake. Remember, she has only yon.' "I shall avenge my honor,'' tne Kali answered quietly. ''Rut you, Valerie " he Went on, gently, "you will not leave my mother? Sho loves you. It is a great thing to ask you to do to give Up your life, your pleasures, to be wiih her but I l:eg it as a favor." Valerie felt her throat choke. "There 1b no hardship I would not submit to fur your mother's sake,'' she replied. The Earl raised her hand to his lips. 'Thank you, Valerie'" ho said simply. "Tell my mother I ain coming to speak to her soon. I want her to go to her favorite house in Scotland for a little time, or anywhere. She must leave here." Valerie smiled faintlv, and turned away bb he entered the library. ''All goes Well," she murmured to herself. "He prays me to remain he will find soon he cannot do without me, and Lady Alice will he forgotten. Does he love her is he suffering from his heart or his pride at her flight? Pride, I am certain: he is a Darrell, and therefore disho'uer is to him the greatest of all evils. Now it only wants Jura to send the report Of her death, and the game is mine. 1 feel free, light as air, alter a lonir wretched, dark imprisonment. Paul gone lrom ray pain Happiness uciore me!" The Earl shut the door Of the library, anj drawing a chair to the table buried his face on his folded arms. He was simply stunnod by the news of Alice's faithlessness and sin; the vision ttf her sweet beauty haunted him, and oven, when proofs were strongest against her, the thought of her innate purity and goodness would come like a Hash of light. He remombored her as he held her for that few brief seconds in his arms that night in the conservatory; it was the face of an angel in its fair loveliness. Such a woman could not sin! Yet how could he explain the circumstances? Look which way he might he saw nothing but the most damning and conclusive evidence oi her guilt. A knock at tho door roused him, and his man Mason entered. "There's a gentleman wants to see you. my Lord," he said quietly. "lean see no one," the Earl replied hastily. "He told me to give you this card, and beg you to see him for a few minutes, my Lord." The Karl took the card. "Frank Merredith staying with Armistead at the Grange. Well, let him come in, Mason." Mason bowed, and in a lew seconds returned, ushering in Frank Meredith. "I must apologize for intruding on your privacy, Lord Darrell," Frank began courteously, "hut I wish to speak with you most particularly." The Earl bowed; he seemed to know his guest's face. "You are looking at me, I see," Frank went on. "We have met before. Do you remember, a few days ago. you had a riding party to the old abbey ruins?" The Earl reminated, "Yes, I remember now. You are tho gentleman who very kindly assisted my the the Countess of Darrell. I thank you, sir, for " Roy's voice failed. Frank went on quickly: 'Lord Darrell, it is not a moment to mince matters. I know your trouble. I think I can appreciate your grief. I nave come nere to ton you 1 think you have been tho victim of some horrible treachery." Roy's heart stood still, then beat quicker than ever. iio on, ne said In low tones. "I had the honor of a short conversa tion with Lady Darrell that morning at the ruins and, thinking her a neglected, torrowful woman, urged Insome strange feeling I begged her . . lei me oe ner lriena. Alter a mo ment's hesitation she agreed, and I handed her two cards with my address. one at the Grange and tbe other in lxmtion. She promised me if she ever needed help she would send for me. Have those cards been discovered?" Roy rose hurriedly. "I will ring for her maid and ask." He paced the floor in wildest agita tion till Davis came. How he reproached himself! A stranger had read ner misery, and he was blind! Davis knew nothing of the eards. "I have looked through everything. my lord," she said, coming back after a time. "They are nowhere. My dear mistress left all her clothes. She had only her white silk peignoir, her cloak and hat. Oh, dear! 1 feel something terrible has happened to her." ine Mrl waved ber away, and Frank only waited till the maid had gone. Then ho walked up to the Earl. "Did you hear that? Would any woman deliberately go away in this damp cold weather, clad only in a dressing gown? I am convinced there is some treachery. Listen: I came over here at Armistead '8 request. Last night wo were sitting up late, when we heard a slight noise, and going to discover what it was, we discovered two men crouching outside the house. They ued like bares, we chased them. They took the direction of the Abbey ruins. Two nights before 1 imagined 1 heard something outside, but 1 took no notice of it. Armistead has gone up to town to bring down a couple of detectives, and wo will get to the bottom of the affair. I have come to tell you this, and so support my theory that the disappearance of the plate and diamonds is all part of a systematic rob bery." "Yes, yes: but " Roy had risen in his excitement. "You mean, how does this account for Lady Darrell'8 disappearance also? I cannot explain that; but something tells me she is in trouble, and needsour assistance. But you look pale, Lord Darrell. Let me get you some brandy, or " "It is nothing, only your views upset me. it is dreadful to think of -of her. perhaps in danger, and I cannot help her. What shall w s do?" Roy had covered his face with his hands and now looked up. jo.' echoed r rank; "put the de tectives on the track at once. Will you ride with me now as far as the Abbey? We might reconnoitre and find out something." "Lot us start at once. Have you a horso' No? Then I will order two." The Earl seized tho bell. "Two saddle horses, Mason, without delay. Mr. Meredith, you have given me tho first moment of gladness since mat nreaaiui morning. lou nave given me hope." Do not be too sanguine." Frank ob served quickly. "They are only my own ideas on tho affair, I have no proof: but to convict Lady Darroli of such odious crimes seems to me im possible. She has tho face of an angel. If ever human eyes spoke the truth, hers did." "Why have not I had this faith""' cried Roy passionately.' "1 should not have wasted three days. Hut come, the horses are there; we can start at once." "Do you know anything about this Count Jura? Where did yon first me ot him?" Frank askod as he mounted. "In Italy. Ho represented himself as a scion of a noble and tim-ient house, and certainly I found Mm charming. Whv iln vnti auk?" "..-Jl. sMCftp ArtttUuad seouis to think I

As she saw Roy ride away hastily with a stranger her heart contracted as with fear. What had happened? Suppose they hud traced Count Jura, ami Alice was found? olio summoned her maid, and. after much ques tioning of Mason, Valerie's fear died away. Hoy has gone for a ride.

She knew not that .Myra Burden sal beside her through the silent hours long after the voices had sunk down in the next room, patiently and tenderly watching and tending her. The chloroform had made her feverish: the shock of seeing Count Jura simply prostrated her. A vague dream of horrors filled her brain. Valerie's malignant face.

I "V " mitHffl ATvi-n N4 t. in t.lin Ions night silence, ever and again i moistening Alice's parched lips with water: "she is here against her will and knowledge, he has evidently carried her away drugged and insensible. Who is she? A lady, her hands are white. I will help her: my heartburns against her, she is in my'power, yet I cannot do her harm. It is he who shall suffer. He loves her." she shuddered: "yes. there was a look on his face he never gave me he shall suffer. 1 will get her away, but how? Let me think?" As she pondered. Alice moved over restlessly: the actions caused two cards to fall from her poi'kot to the ground. Myra picked them up. "Frank Meredith, the Grange.' Why that's the next plant! Is ho a friend, or perhaps her husband. The same name 'Savile row. London! This is luck. I will keep them, and George shall find out." The words died away in a stilled shriek, a hand was placed over ber mouth, another snatched the cards from her. This was done by Count Jura: he had pushed aside the curtains noiselessly, had watched the girl sitting quietly, had listened to her half-whispered musings, and when she picked up the cards he dashed forward and grasped tbem. "So, you viper, you are planning against me, are you?" he hissed, drawin? her by a tight holu into the other vault. ' 'Treae h erous e h ? " "Yes, treacherous if you like," Myra answered sullenly, snatching her arm from his hand: "though it is not from yon such words should come, Georg Fox." "Hush!' Count . i ura glanced round fearfully "dare to breath that name again and I'll " "Kill me? Well, do it. What have f got to live for? You've treated me like the dirt under your foot, George."

Here she smote her breast-as she snoke assionate.lv. "I know all about that," returned the man, coolly. "I am not in the mood for recrimination, Myra, so I tell you plainly." "Have you forgotten all you swore to me? Have you forgotten your promise that I should be vimr wife?" "Yes," he said, quietly with a sneer. Myra shrank back: his' cruel coldness cowea ner, sne coma say no more, hne turned, and sinking on to a mattress, burled ner lace in her hands. The Count frowned, then he approached her. "There, Myra, don't be a fool! S v have had our sunshine, and it is gone. But we needn't quarrel, wo are friends, you and I, Myra; I can't do without you. I swear it'" "George, do you mean that?" The words bad gone through the girl like an electric shot. "Mean it? Of course 1 do! There give mo a kiss to mend the quarrel." Myra shrank back. Then a thought seemed suddenly to como to her; she lifted her lips for the careless caress; but as the Count turned aside for an instant, she brushed away the touch with a shudder. "Now you are my wise Myra once more. I want your help. This plate must be got to Nestley town, en route for London, in the morning. You will I take it?" Ho glanced at her indilter- j ently. Myra made ny outward sign as she 1 ! answered, "Well?' "The Darrell diamonds cannot lie disposed of here. 1 shall take them abroad. I will be gone only about a week; during tbat time you must look after everything as yoa know how to. Keep your eye on Paul; he is growing sulky, I half expect him to bolt. Your mother, too, must not venture to Nestley again. She lets out too much when the liquor is in her. We must all move up to headquarters as soon as tho job is done at the Grange, and I come back. You will do all I ask, Myra?" "Yes," Myra answered, slowly, then sho added, "And she does sho stay here with me?" Count Jura hesitated. "Yes," he replied: then with a careless nod he went out through the curtains into the passage, to the corner in which the men slept. Myra stood glaring after him, "Ho lies to my face. Traitor! eoward! villian! But though mv hands are tied now and I seem helpless, I shall find a way, and he shall learn what it is to break the heart of Myra Burden!" CHAI'TKK III. Myra crept back to the inner room. Alice was not awake, but she was murmuring in her sleep. The other girl drew a rug over the stone floor and crouched down on it get a little rest. She burned with a fever of pain, jealousy, and shame in her heart, but her hands were cold as ice. As she lay down on the rug tho memory of by-gone days came to her dim visions of a tiny house and shop in a crowded city, where ber mother was busy all duv. She could liarely ramum ber ber father, though away in the misty past she seemed to recall a tall, dark man who returned but seldom to his home, and always tossed her ou his shoulder and played with her. She know now that he had been a .-ailor, and that he was dead. Then ! years passed and sheeould see plainer, j Her mother left the shop they lived in - a dingy, dirty locality; their lives ; were strange. Roused ut the dead of night to admit men with bundles and puckuges, sho learned to know them all, and as she blossomed from n bud into a lovely flower, sho grew to welcome one w'ith a flutter at her heart. For George she had always a smile, and in return she got many stolen glimj ses of happiness. George admired her beauty. He loved to dei-k out her dark locks in glittei ing jewels, clothe her in silken robes, and let her walk about the dingey house li if one beautiful star caught in a pri on Mvra loved thir muii with all tho warmth and '"' "-td trm

I her Spanish father. Her mother cared

not hing atxiut the Intimacy one way or another, except that she let Alyra amuse ueurgo; it Kept nun in a good temper, mid he was a man to be feared and fawned to. He was the most daring of the whol gang: a gentleman by Birth, of unex ceptional manners, le mingled with the very people whose houses lu robbed. Myra was 18 when she first realized what her mother's calling wasthe receiver of stolen goods! It did not shock her. She had no kuowledg-o of the sin It was. Her companions had kept her in the dark so long, merely to prevent her talking, and when stie knew the truth she was indifferent. George was j one of them, and what George did was hallowed in her eves ; Hut there came a time when Mvra's I dream was shattered. George wearied of her love: he eouw less often: then he announced that it was decided between Paul lloss ami i himscll lhat he should go to Italy, get introduced to Hoy Darren, become his friend and thus rob Darrell Castlo of some of its world-famous treasures. The whole gang was ordered to find their way to tho Abbey ruins. Paul Ross knew them well: he had lived in their mouldy vaults during the whole time his sister was luxuri ously lodged as Tjidv Darrel's s-uest. W'ith sullen sorrow Mvra went about her work. George went off to Italy without word, and despair an 1 grief had eaten her heart nearly away when the Inula ingfire of jealously was added to her burden, and transformed her at once into a woman full of cares and thoughts oi vengeance. Alice's tair loveliness was a sight that brought the flush of agony to her dark cheek; the knowledge that (ieorge loved her was a very sword thrust into her bleeding heart, and filled her eyes with unshed tea,-s. to he continued. What a Cowboy Has to Do. In the windy, bleak nights, when the rain tails in torrents, or the snow, ' flying in clouds seems to cut asunder . all that comes betore it, tbe cowboy ; bas the greatest obstacles ta over- ' come. These are the nights when a i sudden stampede might destroy all i the rounding-up work of weeks prej ceding. Mounted on his best broncho, tho cowboy ride3 out to his post on the I outskirts of the gathered herd, miles 1 away, perhaps, from the camp. As ! the wind whistles in hoarse cadence : along the surface of the ground and : through the sagebrush, his dull chant ; floats over to the uneasy herd. A few steers, made restless by tho cold, start to wander away from the gathering place, and through the blackness of tho nhjhttbe cowboy sees their moving forma Without ceasing the song Bo movss gently past them, and they are turned back to the thousands they have attempted to leave. (ince in a while a steer escapes, to return again at break of day, but the general stampede seldom happen Hut when a stamnede does occur the cowboy's nerve is tried to the utmost "Milling" a stampede is on ; of the mist dangerous operations that a cowboy has to endure. To mill the rattle is to get ttiera going in a circle and letting th m ruu themselves dowa A frightened herd of several thou sand will run over a train or any thing. The only way to stop them is ' for some bold fellow to mount a horse : and ride around the herd, and by con ! stant cuts of tbe lariat, or quirt get i the leaders tu: tied. He must follow j close after the leaders and not mind i those in the rear. They will follow, i But it Is certain death if he is unj horsed or bis pony stumbles. The i frightened herd would trample him to death in a moment A cowboy once told us that he was trying to ! mill a stampede one very dark night, I He was almost at the i his horse stopped. leaders when He had raised his spurs to plunge them into tho pony's flanks when a flash of lightning showed him that he was on the verge of a prccinice some 200 feet high. He said he went back to tbe camp sick, and it was a week before he could take to the saddle. Chicago Tribune. Dreadful Kncounter. It is hard for people who arc not superstitious or who think they are not to understand the mental con dition of persons who believe in ghosts, and are continually in fear because of some ridiculous "sign." In Yorkshire, England, according to the Hev. S. Baring-Gould, there is much dread of the Kirk -Grim, socalled, an imaginary evil spirit in the shape of a huge black dog with eyes like saucers. lie is said to haunt church lanes, and according to the popular belief, whoever sees hiui must die within the year. On a stormv niihr. in November Mr. Baring-Gould was out, holding over his bead a big umbrella that had a handle of white bone. A sudden gust whisked the umbrella out of hU hand, and away it went out or sight in th- thick darkness and the storm. That same evening a friend of the clergyman was walking down ;t lonely church lane, between hedges and fields, with no house near. Suddenly bis feet and his very breath were ar. rested by the. sight of a gi eat black creature which occupied the middle of the way directly before him, shaking itself impatiently, moving torward with a start, then bounding to one side, then running to the other. No saucer eyes could be seen, but the creature had a white nose which, to the horrified traveler, seemed lit up with a supernatural radiance. Leing a man of Intelligence, however, he would not admit to himself that he was confronted bv the KirU-Grini. It must be a huge New Foundland dog, he said to himself. So he addressed it in broad Yorkshire: "Slth'ere lass, don't be troublei some. There's a bonny dog, lei tne ' pass. I've no stick. I win't hurt thee. Come, lass, let me by." At that moment a blast swept up the lane. Tbe dog. monster, KirkGrim, whatever it was, made a leap upon the man, who screamed with terror.

StomaehLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years, tt Is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonio has only recently been introduced Into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of tho Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonio qualities which it possesses, and by its grit curative powers upon tho digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strengthcner of tho life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them Bafely over the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable valv e to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties, will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to thu lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Summer Complaint of Infants. All these and many other complaints cured .by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. NERVOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is aa insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like 6tarved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a suflicient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is farmed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forma of nervous derangement.
