TURNING GBAY AND THREATENED

WITH BALDNESS

•'i" The Danger is Averted by Using

Ayer's

VBCOR

"Nearly forty years ago, after some weeks of sickness, my hair turned gray and began falling out so rapidly that I was threatened with immediate baldness. Hearing

vAyer's

Hair Vigor highly spoken of,

I commenced using this prepara-

:. tion, and was so well .satisfied with the result that 1. lune never tried any other kind of dressing. It stopped the hair from falling out, stimulated anew growth ot hair, and kept the scalp tree from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now needed to keep my hair of good, natural color. I never hesitate to recommend anyoi Ajer's medicines to my friends."—Mrs. II. M. IIAIGIIT,

How long do you think, doctor, that this gentleman will in all probability live?" "Well, well, it's rather a delicate question to answer," said Mr. Proudie, with a show of embarrassment. "Not a bit, sir. Out with- it! I have faced death too often to flinch from it now, though I saw it as near to me as you are." "Well, well, we must go by averages of course. Shall -tfe say two years? I should think that you have a full two years before you." "In two years your pension would bring you in £1,600. Now I will do my very best for you, admiral. I will advance you £2,000, and you can make over to me your pension for your life. It is pure speculation on my part. If you die tomorrow, I lose my money. If the doctor's prophecy is correct, I shall still be out of pocket. If you live a little longer, then I may see my money again. It is the very best I can do for you." "Then you wish to buy my pension?" "Yes, for £2,000 down." "And if I live for 20 years?" "Oh, in that case of course my speculation would be more successful. But you have heard the doctor's opinion." "Would you advance the money instantly?" "You should have £1,000 at once. The other £1.000 I should expect you to take in furniture." "In furniture?" "Yes, admiral. We shall do you a beautiful houseful at that sum. It is the custom of my clients to take half in furniture,"

The admiral sat in dire perplexity. He had come out to get 'money, and to go back without any, to be powerless to help when his boy needed every shilling to save him from disaster, that would be very bitter to him. On the other hand, it was so much that he surrendered and so little that he received. Little, and yet something. Would it not be better than going back empty handed? He saw the yellow backed checkbook upon the table. The money lender opened it and dipped his pen in the ink. "Shall I fill it up?" "I think, admiral," remarked Westmacott, "that we had better have a little walk and some luncheon before we settle this matter." "Oh, we may as well do it at once. It would be absurd to postpone it now," Metaxa spoke with some heat, and his eyes glinted angrily from between his narrow lids at the imperturbable Charles. The admiral was simple in money matters, but he had seen much of men and had learned to read them. He saw that renomous glance, and saw, too, that intense eagerness was peeping out from beneath the careless air which the jagent had assumed. "You're quite right, Westmacott," said he. "We'll have a little walk before we settle it." "But I may not be here'this afternoon." "Then we must choose another day." "But why not settle it now?" "Because I prefer not," said the admiral shortly. "Very well. But remember that my offer is only for today. It is off unless you take it ct once." "Let it be off, then." "There's my fee," cried the doctor. "How much?" "A guinea."

The admiral threw £1 Is. upon the table. "Come, Westmacott," said he, and they walked together from the room. "I don't like it," said Charles when they found themselves in the street once more. "I don't profess to be a very sharp chap, but this is a trifle too thin. What did he want to go out and speak to the doctor for? And how very convenient this tale of a weak heart was. I believe they area couple of rogues and in league.with each other." "A shark and a pilot fish," said the admiral. "I'll tell you what I propose, sir. There's a lawyer named McAdam, who does my aunt's business. He is a very honest fellow and lives at the other side of Poultry. We'll go over to him together and have his opinion about the whole matter." "How far is it to his place?" "Oh, a mile at least. We can have a cab." "A mile? Then we shall see if there is any truth in what that swab of a dootor said. Come, my boy, and clap on all sail and see who can stay the longest.'

Then the sober denizens of the he§rt of business London saw a singular sight as they returned from their luncheons. Down the roadway, dodging among cabs and carts, ran a weather stained elderly man, with wide, flapping black hat and homely suit of tweeds. With elbows braced back, hands clinched near his armpits and chest protruded he scudded along, while close at his- heels lumbered a large limbed, heavy, yellow mustaciied young man, who seemed to feel the exercise a good deal more than his senior. On they dashed, helter skelter, until they pulled up panting at the office where the lawyer of the Westmacotts was to be found. "There, now!" cried the admiral in triumph. "What d'ye think of that? Nothing wrong in the engine room, eh?" "Yon seem fit enough, sir." "Blessed if I believe the swab was a certificated doctor at all. He was flying false colors or I am mistaken." "Th»y keep the directories and registers in this eating house," said Westmacott. "We'll go and look him out."

They did so, but the medical rolla con-

CHAPTER XIV. EASTWARD HO!

Mr. McAdam of the firm of McAdam & Squire wa3 a highly polished man who behind a highly polished table in thejaeatest and snuggest of offices. He Vrtts White hairtfd and amiable, with a d^fep4ined aquiline face, was addicted, to E^itows and indeed always seemed to ^£n?y himself at fyalf cock, as though just trending into one or just recovering Injiiseif. He wore a hi§:h buckled stock, tXKj&^snuff and adorned his conversation wrtll Ettle scraps from the classics. *'My dear sir," said he when he had listened to their story, "any friend of Mfg.

But I've something to do •now \thich is more in my own line, and I need not trouble yon any more." "Oh, it is no trouble. I have nothing to do. I never have anything to do. I don't suppose I could do it if I had. I should be delighted to come with you, sir, if I can be of any use." "No, no, my lad. You go home again. It would be kind of you, though, if you would look in at No. 1 when you get back and tell my wife that all's well with me and that I'll be back in an hour or so." "All right, sir I'll tell her." Westmacott raised his hat and strode away to the westward, while the admiral, after a hurried lunch, bent his steps toward the east.

It was a long walk, but the old seaman swung along at a rousing pace, leaving street after street behind him. The great business palaces dwindled down into commonplace shops and dwellings, which decreased and became more stunted, even as the folk who filled them did, until he was deep in the evil places of the eastern end. It was a land of huge, dark houses and of garish gin shops, a land, too, where life moves irregularly and where adventures are to be gained—as the admiral was to learn to his cost.

He was hurrying down one of the long, narrow stone flagged lanes between the double lines of crouching, disheveled women and of dirty children who sat on the hollowed steps of the houses and •basked in the autumn sun. At one side was a barrowman with a load of walnuts, and beside the barrow a bedraggled woman with a black fringe and a checkered shawl thrown over her head. She was cracking walnuts and picking them out of the shells, throwing out a remark occasionally to a rough man in a rabbit skin cap, with straps under the knees of his corduroy trousers, who stood puffing a black clay pipe with his back against the wall. What the cause of the quarrel was or what sharp sarcasm from the woman'! lips pricked suddenly through that thick skin may never be known, but suddenly the man took his pipe in his left hand, leaned forward and deliberately struck her across the face with his right. It was a slap rather than a blow, "but the woman gave a sharp cry and cowered up against the barrow with her hand to her cheek. "You infernal villain!" cried the admiral, raising his stick. "You brute and blackguard!"

'•You'infernal villain!" cried the admiral. "G-arn!" growled the rough with the deep, rasping intonation of a savage. "Garn out o' this or 111"— He took .a step forward with uplifted hand, but in an instant down came cut No. 1 upon his wrist and cut No. 2 across his thigh and cut No. 3 full ih the center of his rabbit skin cap. It was not a heavy stick, but it was strong enough to leave a good red weal wheeever it fell. The rough yelled with pain and rushed in, bitting with both hands and kicking with his ironshod boots, but the admiral had still a quick foot and a true eye, so that he bounded backward and sideways, still raining a shower of blows upon his savage antagonist. Suddenly, however, a pair of arms closed round his neck, and glancing backward he caught a glimpse of the black, coarse fringe of the woman whom he had befriended. "I've got-him!" she shrieked. "I'll 'old 'im! Now, Bill, knock the tripe out of him!"'

Her grip was as strong as a man's, and her wrist pressed like an iron bar upon the admiral's throat. He made a desperate effort to disengage himself, but the most that he could do was to swing her around so as to place heir between his adversary and himself. As it proved it was the very best thing that he could have done. The rough, half blinded and maddened by.the blows which he had received, struck out with all his ungainly strength just as his partner's head swung around in front of him.

There was a noise' like that of a stone hitting a wall, a' deep groan, her grasp maieu, ana sue aroppea a aeaa weignc upon the pavement, while the admiral sprang back and raised his stick once more, ready either for attack or defense. Neither was needed, however, for at that moment there was a scattering of the crowd, and two police constables, burly and helmeted, pushed their way through the rabble. At the sight of them the rough took to his heels and was instantly screened from view by a veil of his friends and neighbors. "I have been assaulted," panted the admiral. "This woman was attacked, and I had to defend her." ','This is Bermondsey Sal," said one police officer, bending over the bedraggled heap of tattered sha^l and dirty skirt. "She's got it hot this time." "He was a shortish man, thick, with a beard." "Ah, that's Black Davie. He's been np four times for beating her. He's about done the job now. If I were yon, I would let that sort settle their Own little affairs, sir." "Do yon think that a man who*holds the queen's, commission will staiyl by

He passed his hand over hi3 forehead. "I would not have lost that watch for anything," said he. "No money could replace it. It was given me by the ship's company after our African cruise. It has an inscription."

The policeman shrugged his shoulders. "It comes from meddling," said he. "What'il you give me if I tell yer where it is?" said a sharp faced boy among the crowd- "Will you give me a qxiid'r' "Certainly." "Well, where's the quid?"

The admiral took a sovereign from his pocket. "Here it is." "Then 'ere's the ticker!" The boy pointed to the clinched hand of the senseless woman. A glimmer of gold shone out from between the fingers, and on opening them up there was the admiral's chronometer. This interesting victim had throttled her protector with one hand, while she had robbed him with the other.

The admiral left his address with the policeman, satisfied himself that the woman was only stunned, not dead, and then set off upon his way once more, the poorer perhaps in hiafftith in human nature, but in very"'good spirits none the less. He walked with dilated nostrils and clinched hands, all glowing and tingling with the excitement of the combat, and warmed -with the thought that he could still, when there was need, take his own part in a street brawl in spite of his threescore and odd years.

His way now led toward the riverside regions, and a cleansing whiff of tar was to be detected in the stagnant autumn air. Men with the blue jersey and peaked cap of the boatman or the white duck of the dockers began to replace the corduroys and fustian of the laborers. Shops with nautical instruments in the windows, rope and paint sellers and slop shops with long rows of oilskins dangling from hooks all proclaimed the neighborhqod of.fhe docks.

The admiral quickened his pace and straightened his figure as his surroundings became more nautical, until at last, peeping between "two high'dingy wharfs, he caught'a glimpse of the mud colored waters of the Thames and of the bristle

ot masts ana runnels wmcn rose rrom its bread bosom. To the right lay a quiet street, with many brass plates upon either side and wire blinds on all of the windows. The. admiral walked slowly clown it until "The St. Lawrence Shipping Company" caught his eye. He crossed the road, pushed open the door and found himself in a low ceilinged office, with along counter at one end and a great number of wooden sections of ships stuck upon boards and plastered all over the walls. "Is Mr. Henry in?" asked the admiral. "No, sir," answered an elderly man from a high seat in the corner. "He has not come into town today. I can manage any business you may wish seen to." "You don't happen to have a first or second officer's placo vacant, do you?"

The manager looked with a dubious eye at this singular applicant. "Do you hold certificates?" he asked. "I hold every nautical certificate there is." "Then you won't do for us." "Why not?" "Your age, sir." "I give you my word that I can see as well as ever and am as good a man In every way." "I don't doubt it." "Why should my age be a bar, then?" "Well, I must put it plainly. If a man of your age, holding certificates, has not got past a second officer's berth, there must be a black mark against him somewhere. I don't know what it is, drink or temper or want of judgment, but something there must be." "I assure you there is nothing, but I find myself stranded, and so have to turn to the old business again." "Oh, that's it," said the manager, with suspicion in his eye. "How long were you in your last billet?" "Fifty-one years." "What!" "Yes, sir, one and fifty years." "In the same employ?" "V^o "Why, you must have begun as A child." "I was 12 when I joined." "It must be a strangely managed business," said the manager, "which allows men to leave it who have served for 50 years, and who are still as good aa ever. Who did you serve?" "The queen, heaven bless her." "Oh, you were in the royal navy. What gating did you hold?"
