AW BY #lhE OK All lUffrOtei I Ill'lbJ. BY HOWARD W Y«'*T Mr. Morley started; then a tremor ran over him. What was the matter with the man that he seemed to take alarm, first at my presence and now at my words? If he was so bound up in ins daughter that he was fearful of having her leave him, even tomarrv the man she loved, there seemed small hope of obtaining his consent. In the fear that 1 should lose my love, after all, I poured out my earnest words. “Mr. Morley. I want Florence to be my wife. There is no use mincing matters; the simple fact is, I must have her. She loves me, and my love for her ia part of life itself. Will you not give your consent?” To my disappointment he dodged the question altogether. "VS'bv are you here?” he asked. “Here?” “Yes. Why did you come to Nelsonville T' “Te find rest and qniet and peace; to escape people's cruel tongues, I exclaimed impatiently. "I give you my word of honor, sir." I went on. think-I ing I divined what his thought was. "I knew nothing of your living in Nelsonville. No idea was farther from my mind than that I should meet Florence here. But I cannot help telling you how my meeting her has lightened the burden of the past year, how her love makes my life appear bright before me. and shine even through the cloud which still rests upon my honor. You. of course, can withhold your consent, but, I tell you openly. I shall in that case do my utmost to persuade her to . marry me against your wish.” I was startled by my boldne«=s in speaking as I did. but the words were out. and 1 would not Fave rec->lied them ‘ if I could. ‘T>Tiehie would not marry without ■ mv consent.” Mr. Morley remarked, with the trace of a smile. “Ah. sir, I know that well. We can wait until my innocence is proved. But it would be most cruel to us both should you withhold your consent." “You are still sanguine, then, of votir innocence being established?” “Most assuredly, sir." Why ar nxious look should appear on his face I could not tell then. I know the many sudden changes of expression which came over him during the conversation caused me considerable surprise at the time. “I —I have not kept track of that affair." he began feebly, "having been fully occupied with my own concerns, i Have —er —have there been any new developments. any discoveries upon which you base your hope?" “An innocent man cannot be made to suffer forever, according to all laws of truth and justice. I firmly believe my name will be cleared, perhaps soon- I er than expected.” “Then your hopes are based on mere sentiment, and not on any discovery bearing on the case?" Mr. Morley asked. "Mostly on the idea that truth will eventually prevail.” 1 replied, epigrammatically. “A most unstable anchorage nowadays. Facts and proofs are what the practical world demands. So. then, you ask me to rescind my request made of von a year ago. notwithstanding the fact that the conditions remain the same. You have broken your promise to me; how then am I to know that your protestations of love for my daughter ace sincere ?" I stared at the man in astonishment, for his words were delivered in a cold. I matter-of-fact manner, and, if there ' had been any reason for it. I should ; have thought there was a triumphant ring in the tones of his voice. The idea that Horace Jackson had actually succeeded in persuading the fa- I ther that I was the guilty one in ref- | erence to the bank robbery flashed across my mind. I knew, too, that, i deep and sincere as Florence's love was for me, she would never be my wife against her father s wish. In bitterness of heart I broke out in i a volume of words, urged on to earnestness by the fear that my darling would be lost to me:

“Good God, sir! Y’ou love your daughter; you love her terfderly. Y’our demotion to her has been a synonym of fatherly love; everyone has spoken of it that knew you. Then how in heaven's nante can you endanger her happiness in life by persuading her to marry a man she cannot ]ov£—one w hom she detests. the very sight of whom is abhorrent to’tier? Oh. sir, she is young and has a lifetime of happiness or misery before her, whichever you may choose to make it. Y’ou are—pardon me for saying it—you are a breaking man.” Mr. Marley sprang from his seat at these words, and stood erect, confronting ine with a glare of angry resentment in his eyes. But I went on. Nothing could have stopped me then. “It is true, sir; the signs of ill-health arc upon you. That was one cause, the change in you., which brought the tears toyourdaughter’seyes just now." His haughty manner subsided, went down suddenly. He sank upon the seat. ■ •overing his face in his hands, and groaned. I could not help pitying him, neither could I resist taking advantage of this change. “I entreat you, sir. to ask Florence to speak out to you from her heart. If she exhibits the slightest compunction at the thought of being my wife, I solemnly promise never to intrude on your notice again—to withdraw from your fife'and--hers as completely as though 1 had never lived. Think, Mr. Morley, if anything should happen to you—” "Happen to me!" he broke in, with

hoarse tones. “Why, yes; people die. you know, sometimes suddenly,” I faltered, too much astonished at the terrified look which came over his face to choose my wools. But my amazement changed to alarm at the effect of the last remark. Mr. Morley's face became ghastly; his under jaw dropped, and his hands worked convulsively. His lips moved, too, but no sound came from them. Thoroughly frightened. 1 stood and watched him. then started with the intention of summoning aid. But he detained me by a gesture. Finally, after a painful struggle, speech came to him. “How did you know that ?" he gasped, in tones so’low that I was compelled to bend down over him to catch the words. "How could you know the thought—the feeling—the conviction of a sudden death—has been constantly with me of late? —Oh. God. It is coming. I know it—coming soon, that sudden death!" "No. no. Mr. Morley," I answered, briskly. “Cheer up, sir. I was only supposing a case. You will not die. sir. You are a sick man. and that is the cause of your gloomy premonitions, depend upon it. Allow me to help you into the house. Go to bed, and we 11 have a doctor at you as quickly as possible. You'll be all right again soon." The fact is. I really thought the man was dving, and, in the fear of that, my words were rather extravagant. He did not seem to notice them, however, but sat there with his head drooped on his bosom. I shook him gentiv by the arm, and he raised his eyes.’ Yielding to my uplifting motion, he staggered to his feet. Slowly we moved toward the house. ! the broken man leaning his whole weight on me. Not a word was uttered by either of us until we reached the steps leading up to the piazza. Theie j he drew back, and I hastily placed my arm behind him, from the fear that be , was about to sink down. He did not. • however, and, as I soon found, he had ■ paused simply to speak before entering the house. He gazed into my face long and earnestly, and such an appealing ! look was in his eyes that 1 was stirred I to deepest compassion. 1 “Swear to God that she shall always ■ [ respect my memory; that she may | ' never hear anything to cause her to < hange in her love for me," he said, | brokenly, and in the manner of one | in a dream, "promise this,” he demanded, fiercely. “Do you refer to Florence?” I asked, thinking that his mind was wandering. | “Yes, yes.” "Why. you know how deep and true I I is her affection for you, Mr. Morley. ' "And always shall be!” he exclaimed. ! "There can be no doubt of it. I am sure. Nothing could change her. | Come, let me help you in.” “Not yet. Swear that she shall never bear anything to make her change,” he ! again demanded, "whatever happens. Swear it! Give me your oath before i God!" i Thinking to humor him in his weakness. and yet strongly Impressed by his j terrible earnestness. I raised my hand and made the desired oath. Mr. Morley drew a long breath and then again spoke, in firmer tones. “I believe you will keep this promise, if yon did not the other," he said. "I will keep it. if it is at all possible.' I answered, earnestly. “It is for her good.” I "For Florence's?" "Yes, for Florence's good.” “Depend on me, sir. This promise i will be kept faithfully.” "Then, Conway, marry my daughter I —my beloved daughter—my treasure! Marry her soon, immediately! Now help me in. I think I feel better.” CHAPTER XIII. A groom was sent to Twineburgh for a doctor. This was contrary to Mr. ' Morley’s wish. F? insisted that a doctor was not necessary, and it was only to appease the anxiety of his daughter that he finally consented to see a med- | ical man. But all the daughter’s entreaties ' could not move him to go to bed. He ■ lay uc vn on the eoueh in the library, and Florence sat beside him. holding one of his hands. I left them thus together and went outside. Before I left the man’s voice had resumed much of its usual vigor. For one who had seemed to be as near collapse as he, strength returned very raplidlv.

Notwithstanding my pity for Florence, there was great pride and joy in my heart. The sweetest girl in the world was mine. All troubles, mysteries, the heart-sickness of the past year, seemed petty and trivial beside this thought. Mr. Morley had given his consent to our marriage; indeed, it was an absolute command. The sceue under the trees came back to me. and I couldi not repress a shudder as I thought of the father's horrible premonitions and the overwhelming effect produced by them. I walked about the grounds or reclined on one of the many seats scattered around, determined to await the doctor’s arrival. My mind would constantly revert to the secret trouble which was so evident and powerful a factor in Mr. Morley's life; and what it was that could so affect a gentleman of his standing and wealth furnished me matter for speculation. The great motive and influence in the father’s life. I knew, was his love for his only child. Therefore it seemed that the hidden trouble must arise from some sorrow or danger which threatened Florence. The thought caused me considerable uneasiness. I bad not realized how morbidly sensitive the robbery had made me. until now. All the unfathomed eventsand incidents w Inch had occurred during the two days I had been here seemed in some indefinable way connected with the affair, or the result of it. The doctor arrived much sooner than I had expected. Indeed, the idea of giving medical advice to a great maa

like Mr. Morley was incentive strong enough to cause a country physician to kill his horse in the endeavor to reach the patient as quickly as possible. After quite a time spent over Mr. Morley. the doctor stepped out on the porch, and, drawing on his gloves, delayed his departure to answer a few questions which Florence, who had followed, put to him. It was impossible for the worthy physician to conceal wholly his sense of importance, although he tried to appear as though it w as by no means an unusual thing to be found administering potions to millionaires. Florence anxiously listened to his words of advice, and then withdrew. I had some hope of speaking to her. but she onlv bestowed on me a sad, sweat smile, which told of her love for me as well as her anxiety for the father, and with that I had to be content. As the doctor was returning immediately to Twineburgh, I proposed to accompany him. He expressed his pleasure in having a companion, and I climbed into the carriage beside him. 1 was anxious to tell Sonntag of the murderous attack upon me. On the way, finding the worthy doctor willing to answer questions, I was soon possessed of his opinion of my lawyer and agent. This opinion was a very high one.

Sonntag seemed to have the elements of popularity in him. But there was something about the old fellow I did not understand; there seemed to be a great unknown depth to him beyond the mere fact that he was a country lawyer and my agent. Nevertheless. I felt that he was to be trusted. I felt safe in his hands. My own opinion being so heartily corroborated by the doctor made me all the more satisfied. But my trust and confidence in the old lawyer soon received a shock. When we arrived nt Sonntag's office I sprang from the buggy, and, after ■ M 1,1 "Give me your oath be To re God.” thanking the doctor, walked up to the door. Sonntag was walking back and forth with his handc-- behind him earnestly conversing with some one inside. There was also a rear door to thv lawyer's office. A man was standing near this door, and when 1 entered the office he quickly stepped out; cot so quickly, however, but teat 1 ■aught a glimpse of his face. It was Hunter, or Skinner, as you please. The thought of the treachery he had been guilty of toward her in whose pay he was came to me and inflamed me with sudden and uncontrollable anger. Uttering an expletive, under the spur of a strong impulse. I made a spring for him. Out through the door I followed kirn, and down through the yard. He had too much the start, however, and was over a high board fence at the bottom of the yard before I could come up to him. I retraced my steps to the lawyer's office. The old fellow was standing in the door and seemed to have been highly diverted by witnessing the chase, judging by his face. "The rascal! the villain!" I ex- | claimed, pushin? past the lawyer into the office and sinking down, panting for breath. "If ever I get my hand on him. I'll wring his neck!” Sonntag closed the door and then turned toward me. “What have you against him?” he asked. I recounted the shooting incident, to which Sonntag listened with a whimsical expression. “H'm! And he shot at you when you called him Skinner, eh?” be remarked, when I had finished. “Must be something in his former life; butthen —well, it’s strange, certainly. Why. I always j address him as Skinner, and he never : attempted to shoot me; indeed, he never seemed to notice.” “Then it is evident his attempt to shoot me was not for my calling him by his right name. See here. Mr. Sonntag.” I continued, earnesly. “do you suppose he is in any way concerned in i the cellar affair?” "Who. Skinner? Good gracious, no! that is, I can't say, but I think not." | “What were you talking to him about?" I asked, eying the old fellow with some impatience, for the more I conversed with him the less I could understand him. “Oh. about a matter of freight,” my agent replied, indifferently. “It was trivial, then?" “Yes. yes. of no importance whatever.” “Mr. Sonntag, it is from no wish to know the subject of your conversation with that wretch of a Skinner that I ask the question. But I happened to see you just before I entered the office, and I am a trifle curious to know if you usually speak as earnestly on unimportant topics as you evidently did to him." The lawyer regarded me a moment. He seemd to be debating some question in his mind. Was I earnest?" he finally inquired. “Everything about me seems to be mysterious!” I exclaimed, piqued to impatience at his wholly dodging my question. "There’s one mystery that will be cleared up soon, however," I added, decidedly. “Yes? And that is—” “The cellar mystery." bonntag again cautioned me againat being too precipitate.

“Then give me some good reason f*i V oul “ut?on!" I exclaimed. ”1* | ting monotonous following people ..ad vice without having a reason for so doing. I'll do so no more. have half a notion to get out of the plate. • since my arirvak petty tnv.al circutn stances have harassed me and kept me in an irritable mood.' "Well mavbe it would be best for you to visit’some of your friends m town." Sonntag said, reflectively, if onlv for a few days. “No, sir. I have no friends, and your seeming desire to have me away makes me the more determined to stay. Hu a course of supineness is done with. Now I'll take the reins, and see whaFls to be made out of the driving. ' “Just as vou please about that, of course. Mr. Conway. But Ido beg of vou, and it is for your owr interests I speak, delay the attempt tn enter the cellar until to-morrow." “Why?" I curtly asked. “You'll know in tha morning." my lawver replied, with a smile. "I may be dead by that time," I replied. “Certainly if I must be the target for every assassin's bullet, my coffin might as well be ordered now." Saying which, I took my own pistol from my pocket. "You see that? Well, it means that after this I'H be as handy with a pistol as others are.** Mr. Sonntag eyed me rather suspiciously, as though not at all certa-n but that I would level the weapon at him. •Those things are dangerous, Mr. Conway, and are liable to go off without warning.” he remarked, dryly. after I had returned the pistol to my pocket. "Yes. I know that. And if there I should be occasion for it to go off in my hand, you may be sure it will be for the purpose of hitting something. I, believe my peace is threatened, if not > mv life. How do I know but what that cellar tinder my room has been used,, fiiaybe is being used, for some criminal i purpose? If that is true, my arrival in Nelsonville and taking up my abode right in the midst of hidden crime I would naturally prevent any contin- j nance of operations, and endanger the j secret. I believe that attempts are being made to cause me to leave; if ■ mysterious demonstrations cannot ac- ; complish it b_t frightening me, then the purpose is to remove me by death.' ■ : In be continue! )

Rheumatism Is a blood disease and only a blood retnedv can cure it. So many people make the mistake of taking remedies which at best are only tonics and cannot possi- 1 bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith, Greencastle, Indiana, says: ‘‘For years I have suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism, which thebest physicians were unable to relieve. I took many patent medicines but they did not seem to reach my trouble. I gradually grew ' worse until I was un- | able to take my food S or handle myself in i aa y wa yi was at so " lutely helpless. Three bottles °t S.S.S. refe lieved me so that I v- soon able to move long I could walk | across the room, and when I had finished one dozen bottles was cured completely and am as well as ever. I now weigh 170.” A Real Blood Remedy. S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer. Eczema, and any form of blood troubles. If you have a blood disease, take a blood medicine—S.S.S. (gua>anteedpurely vegetatable) is exclusively for the blood and is recommended for nothing else. It , forces out the poison matter permanently. We will send to anyone our valuable books.
