Whose Say-so Is Best? With nearly all Medicines put up for ale through druggists, one has to take the maker's nay-so alone as to their curatire value. Of coarse, uch testimony Is not that of ft disinterested party and 1 accordingly Is not to be -given the same credit as if written from disinterested motives. Dr. Pierce's medicines, however, form a single and therefore striking exception to this rule. Their claims to the confidence of invalids does not rest solely upon their makers' say so or praise. Their ingredients are matters of public knowledge, being printed on each separate bottle wrapper. Thus invalid sufferers are taken Into Dr. Piejp's full confidence.

I will ex change for it full pardon and a cap tain's commission for your brother, and If you have further to ask my ear will be inclined." "I shall have nothing to ask except that this Scot be allowed to pass unscathed to his home." Cromwell gazed intently ut her for a moment, and she returned hU look clear eyed and unabashed. He replied slowly: "If I were willing to harm the Scot the case would be much simpler than it iff. You left your home thinking only of your brother, but now the stranger occupies at least a part of your mind." "It Is natural we should feel compassion for those we injure." "You will bring me this document?" "I swear I will." "Nay, nay, swear not at all. If a man's word bear him not up, he will sink when his oath alone buoys him. Wench, I will trust you, but remember this If I am compelled to take this man through force of arms, to surround him with a troop and publicly wrench his burden from him, I must as publicly hang him, to warn the next Scot who would make the essay on Oxford. It you succeed, you save not only your brother's life, but thia man's as well. Now go!" Frances retreated and let herself out of the room. On the stair head at the end of the passage, well out of possible earshot, two soldiers stood on guard, and between them an elderly woman, who Immediately advanced when she saw the girl leave the general's room. "I am the landlady," she said. "Will you come with me?" "I wish a word with my friend," replied Frances. The woman appeared nonplused and stood hesitating, but at that moment the officer who had conducted her came up the stair and approached. 'I wish to speak with Mr. Armstrong," she said to him. "Where is he?" "One moment, madam, if you please," replied the officer, knocking at the general's door. He was not bade to enter, but the single word, "Oxford," uttered in a deep voice, came from within. The subordinate appeared to understand and with a bow to the lady said: "Mr. Armstrong is waiting below. Will you come down, or shall I ask him to come up?" "You may tell him I wish to see him."

Etc. ana saw Armstrong alone In the lower hall, pacing up and down with a fine swagger of Scottish Indifference, which he must have been far from feeling, while the doorway was blocked by two guards holding grounded pikes. The moment the young man saw her he came bounding up the stair two at a time. All the guards, above and below, seemed struck with simultaneous alertness and made a motion which, if continued, would have brought their weapons to bear on the prisoner, but a slight signal from the olllcer's hand brought back their former stolidity. "Oh, Mr. Armstrong. I merely wished to know at what hour we set out tomorrow." "Do we set out tomorrow?" he asked in a whisper. "Yes, there is no obstacle between b?re and Oxford. I was up so late last night, and that, with this long, dragging journey today, has tired me. All I wished to know was the hour for tomorrow." "liut you will have supper with me?" "No. I can eat nothing. I am too tired." "Now, that's strange. I'm as hungry as the Tweed at flood time. Let me persuade you." "Thank you, but I would rest. Good night." CHAPTER XXI. VTIIERE had been a lashing of rain and a clatter of thunder over Northampton in the night, as if the town were again be sieged, but morning broke clear and beautiful, and when the pilgrims got out into the, country again the freshness of the air, the sparkle of the raindrops on the trees, caused the world to seem newly made. The girl rode silent and thoughtful, but the young man was bubbling over with high spirits. He suddenly threw back bis head and laughed .aloud, as if some humorous recollection had come to him. "That poor officer must have thought me mad. Wllen I came in from the stables I called Tor the landlady and asked where you were. She said you were in your room. I then requested her to find out. if you would see me for a moment, and without reply she disappeared up the stair. I waited and waited, but she did not return. The officer was now by my side, chattering away about something to which I gave no attention. All at once the absurd idea struck me that you were with Cromwell, taken? there by the officer, and that Old Noll was browbeating you and threatening you, to learn something of me and what I was about." "No one asked me anything about you or your business," said the girl. ""Ot course nbt." Isee"that Dlaiaiv now. but L give you my word It was

real enougn tnen. wnnout a word or warning I broke in on the amazed officer vand shouted, 'Where is General Cromwell? The man looked dumfounded, as well he might. Then he answered quietly enough, 'The general Is in the castle, half a mile from here.' Even then a glimmer of sense came to me, and I explained that the general had passed as that afternoon, and I wondered if he had stopped at Northampton. The otiieer said he had, und next moment the landlady appeared at the stair head, "and you a moment or two after. What tricks imagination can play with a man!" "I was as anxious as you were last night, and shall always think of Northampton as the gloomiest town I ever saw." "I am glad to be quit of it. I wonder if that officer has given us the right direction? It seems to me that we should be bearing farther south for Oxford. But perhaps the road takes a turn presently." "The road is right for the way we are going. We pass through Banbury, which is not much longer than the direct route. I intend to leave old John at Banbury, and 'with him this permit, which 'will be a danger to carry until we turn north again. Banbury in on the straight road to Scotland, which I suppose will be the way you go on your return." "You are right in that I'll travel north as the crow flies if I can." "Then what say you to making Banbury our first stop on the homeward run after we leave Oxford, taking early to the road the next morning?" UIow ar is Banbury, from Oxford?" "HALT!"

"Less than thlrTy ullles, I tlilak." "Oh, we can do better than that. I must make from seventy to one hundred miles a day on my road home." "There Js sometimes real 6peed in Apparent slowness." "True. We shall be guided by circumstauces, of course. Much will depend on the hour of the day we are done with Oxford." Frances said nothing more, for she saw that the stop at Banbury Would have to be managed from Oxford, and that it would require some tact on her part to arrange it. The ever increasing moon was against her, for if there was much delay at Oxford, not only would Armstrong be the more impatient to get north, but night would soon be almost as light as day, and therefore travel would only be limited by the endurance of themselves and their horses. She wished Cromwell had selected some spot at least fifty miles farther away than Banbury, but, with a sigh, accepted the conditions presented to her and resolved to do her best. At Banbury she had no difficulty in leading her unsuspicious comrade to the Banbury Arms, and there they left old John with his crippled horse. The landlord was a quiet, furtive looking man, with a manner that suggested an intermittent glancing over the shoulder. Frances resolved to say nothing to him at this time, believing they had come so quickly from Northampton that she was in advance of any instructions lie wns to receive, but in this she was mistaken. With Cromwell to decide was to act, and some one had evidently come through in the night. While they halted, waiting Ue preparaSHARP COMMAND. home product

tlOll VI , u-C trtl IWWiCd Uiiiwrffper, watching his opportunity, drew the girl abide and asked her if she possessed a pass; if so he would like to see it. He was very apologetic, saying all public house keepers so near to Oxford were compelled by the military charge of the towu to assure themselves that travelers who stopped with them were properly vouched- for, otherwise it would be his duty to detain them and report to the local commandant. She presented the pass to him without a word, and he read it in silence, then looked at her as if he expected some comment. At last he said: "Ferharp you intend to stop here on your return?" "Yes. Have you received instructions already?"' "I have, and everything is prepared. Would you come up now and look at the room? Then, if for any reason I am not here when you come back you will see that no mistake is made." 5?? took her to an upper room and explained to her the action of the concealed! door, which moved without a sound on well oiled hinges. "During the night you occupy this room. I shall have a horse ready and will be In waiting for you myself until morning. I am to show you the way to the castle. You will find the road to Oxford without impediment until yon reach the lines of the king. I hope you will have a safe sojourn there and a speedy return." The girl thanked him for his good wishes with what courtesy she could call to her aid. for at heart she loathed him, his smooth, oily. Ingratiating manner and his shifty glance making her shiver with repulsion. Yet, she said to herself, conscience accusing, this man was merely an assistant in a deed where she herself acted the lending part. He wns a mercenary, doubtless, doing what he was bid, but against a stranger and an enemy, while she plotted against a friend and a man who trusted her. Fervently she prayed that Trovidence might intervene between the resolution and its accomplishment, In some way rendering her project unnecessary. There was a slight hope that the suspicious king might not receive Armstrong as the envoy of the Scots. He carried no credentials, and Charles, if he employed iiim, must accept the borderer's unsupported word that he was what he declared himself to be. She feared that Charles was in such straits that he would clutch at any straw, but hoped his natural distrust would come Into play, so that Armstrong might return empty handed to Scotland, while she would be relieved of this fell betrayal,"" from which," as events " stood, she saw. no way of escapr Glad was she to leave Banbury behind her, but tremblingly did she dread, the time when she should see it again. Tie road, as the innkeeper had predicted, was clear, and now for the first time during that journey she was alone with her fellow traveler, old John pottering over his lame horse in the stables of the Banbury inn. , The spirits of the yotlng man were as high as those of the girl were low. He saw that for some reason unknown to him she was depressed, and he tried to banter her into a more cheerful frame of mind; but, this effort bringing with it indifferent . success, he broke out into song and caroled to her some of the border ballads.

close to hi.r, but Armstrong could not fail to perceive that the girl shrank from his proximity, and this Abashed him, silencing his song and jocularity. But a lover must be bold If he would prosper. Here was a heaven sent opportunity, and what more can a man ' ask than that? In an hour or two they would be in the midst of a thronged city, where she would meet the friends she expeeted to see." Who could predict what might happen? It was possible she would elect to remain iu Oxford. One or more of her friends might accompany her back to Durham. Now or never was the motto. Yet he had not the least notion how he ought to begin, but thought that in such a crisis a great deal must depend on the presentation of the case. Why had he let slip so many chances of getting information on a subject that now loomed with new importance before him? They had gone a mile or two in silence; a silence in marked contrast to his soniferous setting out. Frances feared that her seemingly sullen indifference had offended him, and, glancing surreptitiously at him from under her long lashes, met his own eyes fixed upon her. She smiled a little and said: "Have you no more ougsT "I have one more," he answered, speaking hurriedly, "but I have never sung it before, and am Just a little in doubt how to begin. I think if I got the measure of it I could carry it on, but am not sure." "Very well, let me hear the song. Is it one of those fighting ballads?" "No. It is a love song, pure and simple." "Oh!" said the girl, with a coldness that froze instantly his budding enthusiasm. She sat up straighter on her horse and turned her face resolutely toward Oxford, as if she did not approve the tendency of the conversation. Armstrong was stricken. dumb at finding his indirect course thus blocked before him. The girl was the first to speak. "I wonder how soon we will be in sight of Oxford," she said. "Not for a long time, I hope." "Why do you say that? Are you not as eager as I to reach Oxford?" "There are some important matters to be settled before we come to the end of our Journey." Frances directed upon him a look of troubled resolution. Intuitively sh knew that they were come to the edge Of a declaration which she had hoped ' might be avoided. Several times on. the way the danger seemed to approach and vanish, but now the glow of his luminous eyes were not to be mistaken. In them she read a consuming love of herself which wns rmt to be balked. yet which mast be balked, and so it became now or never with her, as It was with him. "What important matters are to be settled?" she asked firmly. AH courage seemed to desert him under the intensity of ber survey but with the dourneas of bis race he urged himself forward, yet not in a direct line.
