CHAPTER VIII. In that hut I lay four nights and four days, between ague fit and fever. And that is all the account I can give of the time, save that, on the second day, the girl lelt me alone in the hut and desoended to the plain, where, after asking at many cottages for a physician, she was forced to be content with an old woman reputed to be amazingly well skill'd in herbs and medicines; whom, after a day's trial, she turo'd out of doors. On the fourth day, fearing for my life, he made another descent, came back and xnix'd a potion that threw me into a profound sweat The same evening I sat up, a sound man. Indeed, so thoroughly was I recover' d that, waking early next morning and finding my sweet nurse asleep from sheer weariness in a corner of the hut, I stagger'd up from my bed of dried bracken and out into the pure air. Rare it was to, stand and drink it in like wine. A fo ;step arous'd me. Twas Mistress Deila; and, turning, I held out my hand. "Now this is famous," said she; "a day or two will see you as good a man as ever." "A day or two? To-morrow, at latest, I shall make trial to start" I noted a sudden change on her face, and added: "Indeed, you must hear my reasons before setting me down for an ingrate," and told her of the King's letter that I carried. "I hoped that for a while our ways might lie together," said I; and broke off, for she was lo iking me earnestly in the face. "Sir, as you know, my brother Anthony was to have met me nay, for pity's sake, turn not your face away; I have guess'd the sword you carry I xnark'd it. Sir, be merciful, and tell me. I led her a little aside to the foot of a tall pine; and there, tho it wrung my heart told her all; and left her to wrestle with this final sorrow. She was so tender a thin; to be stricken thus that I who had dealt the blow crept back to the hut covering my eyes. In an hour's time I look'd out She was gone. At nightfall she retnm'd, white with grief and fatigue; yet I was glad to see her eyes red and swol'n with weeping. Throughout onr rapper she kept silence; but when 'twas over look'd up aud spoke in a steady tone. "Sir, I hare a favor to ask, and must risk being held importunate " 'From you to me." I put in, "all talk of favors had beat be dropp'd. "No listen. If ever it befel you to lose father or mother or dearly lved friend, yon will know how the anguish Stuns-Oh, sir! to-day the sun seemed fallen out of heaven, and I a blind creature left groping in the void. Indeed, sir, 'tis no wonder; I had a father, brother and servant ready to die for me three hearts to love and lean on; and to-day they are gone I would have spoken, but she held up a hand. "Now, when you spoke of Ant'iony a dear lad! I lay for some time dazed with grief. By little and little, as the truth grew plainer, the pain grew also past bearing. I stood up and staggered into the woods to escape it. I went fast and straight, heeding nothing, for at first my senses were all confused; but In a while the walking cleared my wits, and I could think; and thinking, I could weep; and having wept, could fortify my heart Here is the upshot, sir1 though 'tis held Immodest for a maid to ask even far less oi ä man. We are both bound for CornWall you on an honorable mission, I for my father's estate at Gleys, wherefrom (as your tal9 proves) some unseen hands are thrusting me. Alike we carry our lives in our hands. You must go forward; I may not go back. For from a King who cannot right his own affairs there is little hope; and in Cornwall I have surer friends than he. Therefore take me, sir take me for a comrade! Am I sad? Do you fear a weary journey? I will smile laugh sing put sorrow behind me. I will contrive a thousand ways to cheat the milestones. At tie first hint of tears discard rae and go your way with no prick of conscience. Only try me oh, the shame of speaking thus!" Her voice had grown more ragid toward the close; and, now, breaking off, she put both hands to cover her face that was hot with blushes. I went over and took them in mine. "You have made me the blithest man alive," said I. She drew back a pace with a frightened look, and would have pulled her hands away. "Because," I went on quickly; "you have paid rr.e this high compliment to trust me. Proud was I to listen to you; and merrily will the miles pass with yon for comrade. And so I pray Mistress Killigrew, take me for your servant" To my extreme discomp sure, as I dropped her hands, her eyes rere twinkling with laughter. "Dear now! I see a dull prospect ahead If ,we use these long titles!" "But w "Indeed, sir, please yourself. Only as I Intend to call you 'Jack,' perhaps 'Delia will be more of a piece than 'Mistress Killigrew" She dropped me a iHock courtesy. "And now. Jack, be a good boy, and hitch me this quilt across the hut I bought it yesterday at a cotcage below here ' She ended the sentence with the prettiest blush imaginable; and so, having fixed her screen, we shook hands on our comradeship and wished each other good night CHAPTER IX. Almost before daylight we were afoot, and the first ray of cold sunshine found us stepping from the woods Into the plain, where now the snow was vanish'd and a glistening coat of rime spread over all things. On the far side of the valley we entered a wood, thinking by this to shorten our way. 2ow, at first this wood seemed of no considerable size, but thickened and spread as we advanced. 'Twas only, however, after passing the ridge, and trhen daylight began to fail us, that I became alarmed. For the wood grew I denser, with a tangle of paths criss-cross-Ing amid the undergrowth. And just then came the lo.v mutter of cannon shaking the earth. We began to run forward, tripping In the gloom over brambles und fltnmhlinsr into hntpjr .

"Why, I'm going to'swoon!" The words were scarce out when there sounded a crackling and snapping of twigs ahead, and t v o figures came rurhfcg toward us a man and a woman.

was white and motionless. She had swooned indeed from weariness and hunger. So I took her In my arms and stumbled forwad, hoping to find the end of the woods soon. For now the rattle of artillery came louder and Incessant through the trees and mingling with it a multitude of dull shouts and outcries. The trees in a short while grew sparser and between the stems I marked a ruddy light glowing. And then I came out on an open space upon the hillside, with a dip of earth in front and beyond a long ridge of pines standing up black because of a red glare behind them, and saw that this came, not from any setting sun, but was the light of a conflagration. The glare danced and qu'vered in the sky as I crossed the hollow. It made even Delia's white cheek seem rosy. Up amid the pines I clambered and along the ridge to where it brofie off in a steep declivity. And lo! in a minute I looked down, as 'twere, into the infernal pit There was a whole town burning b? low. And In the streets men were fighting, as could be told by their shouts and the rattle and blaze of musketry. Now the town was Marlboro and the attacking force a body of royal troops sent from Oxford to oust the garrison of the Parliament which they did this same night with great slaughter, driving the rebels out of the place and back on the road to Bristol. Had we guessed this much ill luck had been spared us, but we knew naught of it, nor whether friends or foes were getting the better. So we determined to pass the night in the woods, and on the morrow to give the place a wide berth. Retreating, then, to the hollow, I gathered a pile of great stones and spread my cloak thereover for Delia. To sleep was impossible, even with the will for it For the tumult and fighting went on and only died out about an hour before dawn, and once or twice we were troubled to hear the sound of people running on the ridge above. So we sat and talked in low voices till dawn, and grew more desperately hungered than ever. With the chill of daybreak we started, meaning to get quit of the neighborhood before any espied us, and fetched a compass to the south without another look at Marlboro. But before an hour had passed by we were captured by a troop of rebels and taken to Bristol, where I was searched and my letter to the King taken from me by CoL Essex. You art now to be ask'd to pass over the next four weeks in as many minutes; as would I had done at the time! For I Spent them In a bitter cold cell in the main tower of Bristol keep, with a chair and a pallet of straw for all my furniture, and nothing to stay my fast but the bread and water which the jailer brought me twice a day. What concerned me most was the cold that gnaw'd me continually these winter nights as I lay thinking of Delia (whom I had not seen since oar capture), or gazing on the patch of frosty heaven that was all my view. Twas thus I had heard Bristol bells ringing for Christmas in the town below. CoL Essex had been thrice to visit me, and always offerM many excuses for my treatment; but when he came to question me, why, of course, I had nothing to tell, so that each visit but served to vex him more. Clearly I was suspected to know a great deal beyond what appear'd in the letter; and no doubt poor Anthony Killigrew had receiv'd some verbal message from Iiis Majesty which he lived not long enough to transmit to me. As 'twas, I kept silence; and the Colonel in return would tell me nothing of what had befallen Delia. One fine, frosty morning, then, when I had lain in this distress just four weeks, the door of my cell open'd, and there appear'd a young woman, bringing in my bread and water. She was the jailer's daughter, and wore a heavy bunch of keys at her girdle. "Oh, good morning!" said I, for till now her father had visited me, and this was a welcome change. . . Instead of answering cheerfully she gave a little nod of the head, rather sorrowful, and answerM: "Father's abed with the ague." "Now, you cannot expect me to be sorry." "Nay," she said; and I caught her looking at me with something like compassion in her blue eyes, which mov'd me to cry out suddenly: "I think you are woman enough to like a pair of lovers." "Oh, aye; but where's t'other half of the pair?" "You are right The young gentlewoman that was brought hither with me I know not if she loves me; but this I do know I would give my hand to learn her whereabouts and how she fares." "Better eat thy loaf," put in the girl very suddenly, setting down the- plate and pitcher. 'Twaa odd, but I seem'd to hear a sob in her voice. However, her back was toward me as I glanc'd np. And next moment she was gone, locking the iron door behind her. I turn'd from my breakfast with a sigh, having for the moment tasted the hope to hear something of Delia. But In a while, feeling hungry, I plck'd up the loaf beside me and broke it in two. To my amaze, out dropp'd something that jingled on the stone floor. Twas a small file; and, examining the loaf - af ain, I found a claspknife alst, and a strip of paper, neatly folded, hidden in the bread: "Dear Jack: , "Colonel Essex, finding no good come of his interrogatories, hath set me at large; tho' I continue under his eye, to wit with a dowager of his acquaintance, a Mistress Finch. Wee dwell in a private house midway down St Thomas street, in Redclifle; and she hath put a dismal dress upon me, otherwise uses me not ill. But take care of thyself, my deare friend; for tho' the Colonel be a gentilman, he is press'd by them about him, and at our last interview I noted mischief in his eye. Canst use this fiie? This by one who hath been my friend; for whos sake tear the paper up. And beleeve your cordial, loving comrade, D. K."

After reading this a dozen times, till I had it by heart, I tore the' letter into xmall pieces and hid them In my -pocket This done, I felt lighter hearted tlian for many a day, and -began lazily, to rub away at my window bar. The file work'd welL By njon the bar was half sever'd. I .broke off to hear the key turning la my lock. . CHAPTim X. The jailer's daughter enter'd with my second meal. Her eyes were red with weeping. Said I, "Docs ycr father beat you?" "lie has, befors cow," she replied; "but not to-day. "Thn why do you wer) 7' "For ycu c dear, dttrl How thall I t;!l it?

"To to h-hang you. "When?" "Tut-tut-to-morrow mo-horning! I went suddenly very cold all over. The?e was silence for a moment and then I heard the noise of some one dropping a plank in the courtyard below. "What's that? Gallows?" She nodded. "You are but a weak girl," said I, meditating. "Aye; but there's a dozen troopers on the landing below." , "Theu, my dear, you must lo?k me up," I decided gloemily. A workman's hammer in the court below chim'd in. I heard a low sob behind me. The jailer's daughter was going. "Lend me your bodkin, my dear, for a memento." She pull'd it out and gave it to me. "Thank you, and now good-bye! They shan't hang me, my dear." The girl went out, sobbing, anc' lock'd the door after her. I sat down for a while, feeling doleful. For I found myself extremely young to be hanged. But soon the whang whang! of the hammer below rous'i me. "Come," I thought "I'll see what thrt rascal is doing, at any rate," and pulling the file from my pocket began to attack the window bar with a will I had no need for 6ilence, at this great height above the ground; and besides, the hammering continued lustily. Daylight was closing as I finish'd my task and, pulling the two pieces of the bar aside, thrust my head out at the window. Directly under me, and about twenty feet from the ground, I saw a beam projecting, about eix feet long, over a sort of doorway in the wall. Under this beam was a ladder, and a great coll of rope rested by the ladder's foot Now up to this moment I hadbut one idea of avoiding my fate, and that was to kill myself. Twas to this end I had borrowed the bodkin of the maid. Afterward I had a notion of flinging myself from the window as they came for me. But now, as I looked down pn that coil of rope lying directly below, a prettier scheme struck me. I sat down on the floor of my cell and pulled off my boot and stcckings. 'Twas such a pretty plan that I got into a fever of Impatience. Drawing off a stocking and picking out the end of the yarn, I began to unravel the knitting for dear life, until the whole lay, a heap of thread, on the floor. I then served the other in the same way; and at the end had two Hnes, each pretty rear four hundred yards in length, which now I divided into eight lines of about a hundred yards each. ' (To be continued.!

) THE RUNAWAY. ) "I ran away once," began the young woman in the green willow rocker to some afternoon callers. "It was when I was 8. I was a terrible child, and as there were six others, my mother had no time to reason with me. Anyhow, I didn't desiirve to be reasoned With this time, for I hud walked deliberately over the lace curtains, which were pinned out on tho floor to dry. I believe I was pretending I was Mary Queen of Scots, or some one equally above caring for lace curtains. "Ab I had been reproved for doing the same trick before, I was whipped for It this time. It hurt my dignity, and I went upstairs and made a bundle of my best gown. Downstairs I hunted for a string, and when mother inquired what I was doing, I said I couldn't seem to get along with her, and was going away from home. "I had a wise mother. She made no remonstrance; she merely said she hoped I'd find a place to suit me and helped me tie up my dress. I departed haughtily, my mind on the home of 6ome old friends of ours German people. I thought I could find the place if I followed the street-car track, and I did. , "When I walked in they were glad to see me, and when I told them confidently I had come to stay because I couldn't get along with my mother, they did not seem in the least surprised. I did not know mother had telephoned them of my probable ar rival. They said I could stay with them always If I wanted to, but there was one thing I must remember I must speak German all the time; no English would be allowed. As I knew about three words of German, the prospect looked black; but on the other hand, it was preferable to home. "The family had company, so that Light I had to sleep with the two gi own-up daughters. "In the middle of the night I suddenly woke up with an awful homesickness. I tumbled and tossed, till finally one of the young women, exasperated by my pranks, spanked me, and ordered me to lie quiet, and let other people sleep If I didn't want to myself. "That was the last straw. Evea here I was whipped. If I must be whipped, let it occur in the seclusion of my own home,- If Heaven permitted me to live till morning, I would go home as fast as I could. I l&y there seething with rage and wounded pride, and at the break of day I slid out carefully, dressed, grabbed my best gown, and let myself out "Towards home I flew, and I shall never forget my awful sinking of the heart when I found the house still locked up and shades down. I wat an outcast a wanderer. In desperation I pounded on the door. "After &i.-ea mother opened it . She looked at me as though I had been the veriest stranger. " 'What do you want, little girl?' she Inquired. 'That was when I wanted to die right away. My own mother had forgotten me, and In so short a time! "I managed. to choke out in terror, 'Why, don't yp know me? I'm your little girl! I'ej Sue!' " 'Oh, oh l she said, In a puzzled way. But I thought you had gone away for good. I didn't suppose you were ever coming back!' "I don't remember how many kinds of an ax gel I promised to be before she relented and let me in. But I never ran away again."

Married Women's Looks. Ak ten people if married women lose their good looks and you will invariably find that nine of them will answer in the affirmative. Furthermore, they will tell you that marriage ages a woman, in addition to detracting from her good looks. And glancing around one's Circle of married friends and acquaintances, It would 6eem that there is a great amount of truth in this assertion. 1 Girls who before their marriage were considered extremely pretty, bright and vivacious, seem to have developed, in the short space of three or four years, into unattractive and uninteresting women. "How she has changed," Is the remark one frequently hears applied to the young wife. No longer is she the neut, winsome little woman we knew during her single days. That charm which made her the center of so much admiration seems to have totally disappeared. She has disappointed us, and we cannot help regretting that she ever entered the bonds of matrimony, which seem to have brought about so great a change. Of course, one cannot expect a wife to retain always that beauty which made her so attractive as an unmarried girl of nineteen or twenty. The duties and responsibilities of married life are bound to bring about some change. But does it necessarily follow that it should be for the worse and not for the better? It may not be possible for a wife to exhibit that freshness which characterized her girlhood, owing to the cares of wifehood and motherhood. But If you see a wife who seems to have lost all her attractiveness and personal charm since marriage you will probably und, in the majority of cases, that she herself is responsible for the deficiency. There are hundreds of bright blooming young matrons In this country whose charms are a direct denial to the assertion that marriage makes women ugly. These are women who have not allowed matrimony to take away their good looks. In a word, they have never ceased to take a pride In themselves. That is the secret of their perpetual youth. They take as much interest In their appearance and good looks five and ten years after marriage as they did before meeting the man they ultimately wedded. Vanity, you say. Maybe, but such vanity Is to be recommended to every wife. Did. every woman follow such examples, matrons, spinsters, bachelor girls, and even cynical bachelors themselves, would be forced to confe?.s hat marriage was an aid to beauty. What a number of women there are who immediately they are. married seem to think that there Is no need to add to their attractiveness. Maybe It Is the thought that now they are married it is not necessary to make any special efforts to retain the love and admiration of their husband. Consequently they drift into a state of indifference regarding themselves. No greater mistake cocld be made, and many a wife has had to deplore the lost affection and respect of her husband on account of such personal neglect. The one reason why some women lose their beauty after marriage, for which they are not to blame, Is that of unhappiness. The essential thing to a woman's beauty is happiness. A week's fretting will age her to an astonishing degree, while a real unhappiness robs cheek and Up of color, eyes of light and life, and destroys all the soft rounded curves cf winsome femininity. Joy, comfort arid repose are the three true aids to feiiiinine beauty. But the happily married woman only becomes ugly through her own fault There are anxieties and griefs, of course, which must come to every married woman, and which may possibly leave traces in her good looks. But even this does not make her less attractive in the eyes of her husband and friends If she still maintains the greatest Interest In herself, and seeks to make herself attractive by her manners, dress and disposition.

In his exceedingly interesting "Report on Commercial Instruction in Germany," published by the Foreign Office, Dr. Frederic Rose, British consul at Stuttgart, gives some information concerning certain commercial schools for girls that have been set up in the Fatherland. One of the most Interesting of these Is the municipal commercial school for girls at Nuremberg. At this institution intended for the instruction of girls who have passed through the elementary schools and who wish to enter business pupils are taken through a three years' course In religion, arithmetic, bookkeeping, commercial knowledge (including principles of economics, foreign exchanges and ele ments of German commercial law), German, French, English, commercial geography, handwriting, shorthand and typewriting. The fees are $4.50 per annum, payable quarterly. The number of pupils increases steadily year by year, and reached 2S0 in 1904.

MISS BULLRECOVERS lEAEPUL DEOLDTE OF STEETGTH COMPLETELY ARRESTED.

IXedlcal Skill Had Almost Exhausted Itself In Vain Attempt to Relieve Her A Remarkable Result. The recovery of Miss Gertrude L. Bull is of great interest to the medical world. A very bad cough followed u severe attack of pneumonia. It seemed impossible to break it up or to restore her N strength, which had been sadly undermined. In spite of the best efforts of the doctors and the use of several advertised modes of treatment her condition daily grew more serious. She finally discontinued all medicine and gave herself up to despair. "What was your condition at this time?" she was asked. " My stomach was so weak I could not keep food down. I suffered from constant nausea. My kidneys were in terrible condition. My feet and ankles were wollen so badly that it pained mo even to stand on them. I was very bilious. My heart was in bad shape so I could not go np and down stairs or stand any exertion or sleep in a natural position." ' It seems a wonder that you should ever have recovered. How did it happen?" You may well call it a marvel, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills wrought it. None of my friends thought I could live many months longer. My parents had no hope. Just then a pamphlet advertising Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People was thrown in our door. It was a great event for me. These pills saved me from the grave. Within a week from the time I began to take them I felt better, aud in three mouths I was entirely well. I cannot praise Dr. Williams Pink Pills too highly and I dearly hope that my experience may bring good to some other sufferers." ' Miss Bull, who was so remarkably cured, resides at Union Grove, Illinois, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act immediately on the blood, purifying and enriching it In all debilitating diseases, such as lung trouVes, grip, fevers, and in all cases in winch the ßystem is thoroughly run down, these pills perform wonders. They are sold by all druggists throughout the world. A valuable booklet on diseases of the blood, will be sent free to any one Who applies for it to Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Best Attbestos Mines. Commercial asbestos is a fire-resisting substance composed of silky fibers up to six inches in length, which can be used for packing or woven into fabrics. Its value corresponds approximately with the length of the fiber. It is prepared from a mineral of variable color, which is usually found deposited in thin sheets in the seams of granite rock. The fiber is normal to the sheets and its length is thus limited t7 the thickness of the seam. The most important deposits so far discovered In America are one of flesh-colored mineral in Arizona and a green deposit at Black Lake, In the Province of Quebec, Canada.
