The Best Guaranty of Merit Is Open Publicity. -Uvery bottle of Dr. Pierce's worldfaobd medicines leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y has printed upon Its wrapper all the ineredients entering -lnt& it composition. Thi fact alone place! Dr. Pierce's Family -Medicines in, a cffiHHnll by themaelce. They cannot ba classed with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This Is why so many unprejudiced physicians prescribe tliera and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of. and that the Ingredient arc those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities. The further fact that, neither Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the great ttomarh tonic, liver invigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his "I'avorit? Prescription " for weak, overworked, broken-down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entitles them to a place all by themselves. Many years ago. Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is a better solvent and preservative of the medicinal principles residing in our indigenous, or native, medicinal plants than is alcohol: and, furthermore, that it possesses valuable medicinal properties of its own, being demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient anti ferment. Neither of the above medicines contains alcohol, or any harmful, habitforming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure. Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them people who would not think of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Jvery ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's medicines has the strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put up for like purposes has any such prcfeKlonal endorsement. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets euro constipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases. Cure the cause and you

cure the di?ea?e. One " Pellet" Is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. Druggists sell them, and nothing Is "just as good." Easy to take as candy.

f M&irclh Synopais of Preceding Chapters. CHAPTER I Thomas Erichsen, oung Englishman, has lost tne uiouwith which he was to pay his passage out to India. He lends Captain Blaydes 35, the amount of his passage money, and in return gets a worthless check, which leaves him enniless. He confesses his error to aire Harding, his boyhood sweetart. ""7Jf mf s fcdT . 7 u tr rls ?J!f 7.? II. James Edward William DainIll Tom finds out that Captain Blaydes is paying attention to Claire nd is to be at her house that night. lie vows to have satisfaction from Blaydes, but promises Claire that he will not seek Blaydes for two weeks. Tom meets Blaydes a few moments later ana aemanas ins niaj-i'es hwoiv u puzzled oatn ana Uuiuped his cane upon the ground, you know a lot!" he snarled. "1 know where you're going, and Im coming too. I don't lose sight of you tonight." And they stepped out- with no more words. thush Blaydes ground his te;uh and gripped his cane and tried his best to drop a foot or two behind. But Tom's eye was on him. So he stopped at a stile, whereupon Tom stopped, too. and as they stood there passed a laborer, who stared and wished them good night. "See here, Erichsen," exclaimed the captain. "I object to discussing private matters on a turnpike road. Here's a path that's a short cut back Into town suppose I come a part of the way with v you and talk this thing over without fear of being heard. What do you say?" "As you like. Your way is mine." Blaydes shrugged his broad shoulders, tucked his cane under one arm and laboriously crossed the stile. Tom then followed him. into a sloping field, with a beaten right of way running uphill through the dewy grass. They climbed this path with the young moon , iu their eyes, but not a word upon their lips, and Tom's thick stick grasped tight by the knob. The ascent brought them to a second hedge, backed by a row of horse chestnuts all hazy with tiny leaves, and to a hollow beech beside the second stile. Here the captain dropped his cane in the grass and, limping pitiably, begged the other to pick it up. But Tom merely shifted it with bis foot, keeping a strange eye on Blaydes as he did so. The cane in the grass had no gold knob, and the captain's right band was tucked Inside his cjoak. "Very prettily planned," said Tom, with a sneer, "but I should like to see the rest of that sword stick T The other laughed, "I only drew it In case of nejed. You are such a violent young blood! Ah, you will have it, will you? There, then and there and there!' The yard of thin, tempered steel had been casually produced, and Tom had instantly struck at it with his stick. Next moment the point was within an inch of his body, but Tom retreated nimbly, hitting high up the blade with all his might. It snapped at the third blow, whizxed in the air and came down sticking In the grass. Only the gold bead and three inches of blade were left In the captain's tingling hand. "Chuck it away," said Tom. "and I drop my stick. That's better. Now about that money. You didn't bring me up here to run me through the body, of course! What was your ob ject?" "To settle with you fairly," said Blaydes, with a lurch in his low voice "I am overdue elsewhere, as you have found out the Lord knows how! If I had the money on me. It should be yours this minute. As I haven't it I propose this compromise wait till tomorrow and I'll make it fifty and give you an I. O. U. on the spot!" "No. no, Blaydes. Once bit once bit! Very sorry, but It can't be done." Blaydes muttered an oath as he took out his watch, pressed the 6pring, and it struck 10 and then the three-quarters, like fairy bells. He did not put the watch away again, but stood with It in his. bands and presently detached the chain from his waistcoat. He had already turned his face to the moon, and he now glanced over his shoulder and beckoned to Tom. "Just have a look at this," he said. "No; take It in your hands and examine it properly." The watch was a repeater of a type even then old fashioned. It was very handsome and heavy and fat, with a yellow dial and a back like a golden saucer. Tom turned it over, and the moon shone on the captain's monogram. "Well, bat what have I got to do with this?" "Pawn it!" "Pawn your watch T - "And send, me the ticket and never pester me again! It won't be the first time it's been in. I've had 140 for It before today and never less than thirty. You may get what you can. All I want Is the pawn ticket and your un dertaking to leave me alone from this day on!" Leave yon alone! I shall get a berth of some sort aboard an Indiaman that sails on Monday. Do you mean It. Blaydes? Do you mean what you say?" Mean it? Of course I mean it! . Put the -watch In your pocket and give me a pencil." 4 "And the chain ?' "And the chain." It wa3 made of long gold links and short silver ones, with a huge bunch of seals at one end. Tom pocketed the lot without compunction and then pro duced his stump of lead pencil. "Here yon are. . , . . "Got any paper? Not a scrap,

And Blaydes produced a hmu'.l a' sheaf of blue paper tied with pink tape, leaned upon the stile and. without untying the tape, wrote for a little on the outside sheet, moistening the pencil with bis tongue "Sign that." said he and handed the packet to Tom. who held it to the light and read as follows: Received from J. Montomry Blaydes. late captain ColJatream guards, his watch and chain, etc.. In settlement cf all claims, and In ccnaiJeration of which I undertake to return pawn ticket for same to aald J. M. lllaydra. Irjr cottage. Weat End. within three days from this date. Signed. , April Ti. 1SC7. Tom read this terse deed twice through, looked again at the watch and chain, weighed them in his hand, took a third look at the paper and signed his name in the blank snace without a word. "Good!" said Blaydes. pocketing the roll. "Now I think you'll have no objection to giving me back that worthless check. Come, perhaps it wasn't tuch a pure accident, after all, but I was cursedly hard up at the time. And I honestly regret It I do, indeed!" Still without a word, Tom handed blvu tho check, whereupon Blaydes twisted it up, struck a lucifer and ignited the paper at one end. and as it burned he picked off and powdered the charred bits between finger and thumb, while the yellow flame made his smooth face yellower than ever. They parted, Ttepwfwog-brs way alone. Tom pushed on with a light step and a swimming bra In? 'The sudden change In his poor little fortunes seemed too good to be true. Thirty-five pounds Is not a mint of money, but to Erichsen. . it was something like one; at least it was his all, for he had no right to another penny in the world. The sum . represented his fulf capital as well as his last chance in life. And he had it safe in his pocket in the' shape of Blaydes watch and chain. The moon was hidden now. Tom had difficulty In seeing and following the beaten path and was unduly startled by a fellow waif, who suddenly, stood before him in the darkness. "Got the time about yer, guv'nor? aid a high, hoarse voice. "No, I I don't possess a watch," stammered Tom, taken as much aback by the question as .by the questioner. And he grasped the repeater in one pocket and doubled the other fist. "Ha, . I see you don't," . rejoined the other as the moon shone forth at that moment. "No 'arm done, I 'ope. We can't all be real swells, can we?" And Tom was left shuddering from a single moonlight glimpse of a horrible face horribly disfigured. Disease had razed the nose to the level of the stubby, shrunken cheeks; the very eyes were more prominent, but wolfish, unsteady, and little better to see. Ills plans for the night were as yet unmade. Tom looked about him and espied a promising thicket not thirty paces from the path. And here, being tired out, he did actually lie down, after first kneeling, as he had not knelt for months; and thanking the Maker of all good things for having made the world so kind and bis love so' true and so forgiving. But he never quite fell asleep. Tie was near It when a sound of slipshod feet, running downhill through the grass, passed close by the thicket and left him wide awake and wondering. It was hopeless after that. And '1 o'clock struck upon his ears with the sound of his own footsteps trudging down Haverstock hill to no Immediate goal. Yet still the world was kind. A wagon came creaking at bis heels, slowly overhauling him and unexpectedly topping when it did so. It was green mountains high with country vegetables smelling notably in the clean night air, and with this sweet whiff of borne and the past there came a hearty, elderly .voice evidently hailing Tom. "Now, then, young man, if you .want a lift, joonip oop!"- ' - ' Tom. was not sure what be wanted, but his feet were sore, the voice liked him, and up he Jumped. And between darkness and dawn the quiet foot of the sleeping hill and the half awakened but already noisy purlieus of Tottenham Court road the lucky, attractive fellow made another friend. The wagoner was a red faced, red whiskered, freckle handed fellow, with, a genial, broad, communicative tongue. Jonathan Butterfield was his name. ; and he was a Yorksnireman 'only recently come south, as he said, with a sigh which left him silent.
