CHAPTER XVI.—Continued.
"Pray do not trouble about It, Sis-
ter Theresa. There are a good many
things about rxy grandfather's affairs
that I don't understand, hut I'm not
going to see an old friend of his swin-
dled. There's more in all this than
appears. My grandfather seems to
nave mislaid or lost most of his assets
Defore he died. And yet he had the
reputation of being a pretty cautious
business man."
"The impression Is abroad, as you
must know, that your grandfather con-
;ealed his fortune before his death.
The people hereabouts believe so; and
Mr. Pickering, the executor, lias been
unable to trace It."
"Yes, I believe Mr. Pickering has
not been able to solve the problem,"
( said and laughed.
"Hut, of course, you and he will co-
operate tn an effort to find the lost
nroperty."
She bent forward slightly; her eyes,
is they mot mine, examined me with a
ueen interest.
"Why shouldn't I be frank with you,
Wister Theresa? I have e%'ery reason
'or believing Arthur Pickering a
scoundrel. He does not care to co-
operate with me in searching for this
money. The fact is that he Is very
much wishes to eliminate me as a fac-
!or in the settlement of the estate. I
ipeak carefully; I know exactly what
I am saying."
She bowed her head slightly and
was silent for a moment. The silence
wa.s the more marked from the fact
lhat the hood of her habit concealed
'jer face.
"What you say Is very serious."
"Yos, and his offense Is equally se-
■ious. It may seem odd for me to be
laying this to you when I am a strang-
•r—when you may be pardoned for
having no very high opinion of me."
She turned her face to me—it was
singularly gentle and refined—not n
'ace to associate with an idea of self-
jeekl.ig or duplicity.
"I sent for you, Mr. Olenarm, be-
cause I had a very good opinion of
j'ou; because, for one reason, you are
:he grandson of your grandfather"—
and the friendly light in her gray eyes
Irove away any lingering doubt I may
nave had as to her sincerity. "I
wished to warn you to have a care for
your own safety. I don't warn you
igainst Arthur Pickering alone, but
against the countryside. The idea of
a hidden fortune alluring; a mys-
terious house and a lost treasure
make a very enticing combination.. I
fancy Mr. Olenarm did not realize that
no was creating dangers for the peo-
ple he wished to help."
She was silent again, her eyes bent
meditatively upon me. Then she spoko
abruptly.
"Mr Pickering wishes to marry my
niece."
"Ah, I have been waiting to hear
that I am exceedingly glad to know
that he has so noble an ambition. Hut
Miss Devereux isn't encouraging him,
as near as I can mnke out. She re-
cused to go to California with his
party—I happen to know that."
"That whole California episode
would have been amusing if it had not
oeen ridiculous. Marian never had
the slightest idea of going with him;
out she is sometlmns a little—shall I
jay perverse?—"
"Please do! I like the word—and
the quality!"
"—And Mr. Pickering's rather elab-
prate methods of wooing—"
"He's as heavy as lead!" I declared.
"—Amuse Marian up to a certain
point; then they annoy her. He has
implied pretty strongly that the claim
against me could be easily adjusted if
Marian marries him. Hut she will
never marry him, whether she benefits
;by your grandfather's will or however
that may be!"
I "I should say not," I declared with a
warmth that caused Sister Theresa to
sweep me with those wonderful gray
pyes. "Hut first he expects to find this
fortune and endow Miss Devereux
with it. That is a part of the scheme.
And my own Interest In the estate
must be eliminated before he can
bring that condition about. But, Sis-
ter Theresa, I am not so oaslly got
rid of as Arthur Pickering imagines.
My staying quality, which were al-
ways weak In the ryes of my family,
have been braced up a trifle."
"Yes."
1 thought pleasure and hope were
expressed in the monosyllable, and my
heart warmed to her.
"Sisler Theresa, you and I are un-
Jp-standlng each other much better
:han I Imagined we should"—tnd we
30th laughed, feeling a real sympathy
growing between us."
"Vos, I believe we are"—and the
tmlle lighted her face again.
"So I can tell you two things. The
first is that Arthur Pickering will
never find my grandfather's lost for-
tune, assuming that any exists. Tile
second Is that in no event will ho
Uiirry your niece."
"You speak with a good doal of con-
fluence," she salij and laughed a low,
murmuring laugh. 1 thought there was
I relier in it. "But I didn't suppose Ma
rian's affairs Interested you."
"They don't, Sistor Theresa. Her
| affairs are not of the slightest import-
l mce—but she is!"
| There was frank inquiry In her eyes
| now.
"Hut you don't know her—you have
missed your opportunity."
"To be sure, I don t know her; but I
know Olivia Gladys Armstrong. Sho's
a particular friend of mine—we have
chased rabbits together, and she told
me a great deal. I have formed a
| very good opinion of Miss Devereux
! in that way. Oh, that note you wrote
I about Olivia's intrusions beyond the
wall! I ought to thank you for it—
but I really didn't mind."
"A note? I never wrote you a note
I until to-day!"
"Well, some one did!" I said, then
she smiled.
"Oh, that must have been Marian!
She was always Olivia's loyal friend
and apologist."
"I should say bo."
"'.Jut you shouldn't have known
Olliia—it is unpardonable! If she
played tricks upon you, you should
not have taken advantage of them to
make her acquaintance. That wasn't
fair to me!"
"I suppose not! But I protest
against this deportation. The land-
scape hereabouts is only so much sky,
snow and lumber without Olivia."
"We miss her, too," replied Sister
Theresa. "We have less to do!"
I went home and studied the time-
table.
CHAPTER XVII.
Golden Butterflies.
If you are one of those captious peo-
ple who must verify by the calendar
bought a seat in the Washington
sleeper and after supper In the dining
car made myself comfortable and
aozed and dreamed as the train
plunged through the dark. The
through passengers about me went
to bed, and I was left sprawled out
In my open section, lurking on the
shadowy frontier between the known
world and dreamland.
"We're runnning into Cincinnati ten
minutes late," said the porter's voice,
and in a moment I was In the vesti-
bule and out, hurrying to a hotel. At
the St. Hotolph I ordered a carriage
and broke all records changing m>
clothes. The time-table Informed me
that the Chicago express left at half
past one. There was no reason why
I should not be safe at Glenarm House
by my usual breakfast hour in the
morning If all went well. To avoid
loss of time In returning to the sta
tlon I paid the hotal charge and car
rled my bag away with me
"Doctor Armstrong's residence'
Yes. sir; I've already taken two loads
there."
The carriage was soon climbing
what semed to be a mountain to the
heights above Cincinnati. To this day
I associate Ohio's most interesting city
with a lonely carriage ride that was
as strange to me as a trackless jungle !
in the wilds of Africa. And my heart I
began to perform strange tattoos on |
my ribs. I was going to the house of j
a gentleman who did not know of my
existence, to see a girl who wis his
guest, to whom I had never, as the
conventions go, been presented. It !
did not seem half so easy, now that 1
was well launched upon the adven j
ture.
I stopped the cabman just as he
was about to enter an iron gateway
whose posts bore two great lamps.
TREATMENT INDUCED A CHILL.
Remedy Given In Hospital Tent Must
Have Been Pleasant.
The captain tells a story which runs
something like this: In camp one
morning the first sergeant reported
that Private B had a chill. "Is it
a serious one?" asked the captain.
"Well, sir, I don't know just how seri-
ous it is, but it's a big one, for It
seems to be all over him, and he
weighs 200 pounds. On seeing him
the captain found him looking rather
blue, and instructed the first sergeant
to send him to the surgeon in charge
of a corporal.
Soon after breakfast the captain
saw the corporal and asked him how
the man was getting on. "Oh, he's
all right now," was the reply, "I took
him up to the hospital tent, and when
I saw what kind of medicine the doc-
or gave him I had a chill too."—Army

I Swung Myself Out Upon the Limb of a Big Maple.
every new moon you read of in a book,
and if you are pained to discover the
historian lifting anchor and spreading
sail contrary to the reckonings of the
nautical almanac, I beg to call your at-
tention to these Items from the time-
table of tho Mid-Western and Southern
Railway for December, 1901: The
southbound express passed Annandale
at exactly 53 minutes after four p. ra-
it was scheduled to reach Cincinnati
at 11 o'clock sharp. This, I trust, ia
sufficiently explicit.
To the student of morals and mo-
tives I will say a further word. I had
resolved to practice deception In run-
ning away from Glenarm House to
keep my promise to Marian Devereux.
By leaving I should forfeit my right
to any part of my grandfather's es-
tate; but of more immediate import-
ance was my absence from Glenarm
House at this juncture, when the at-
tacks of Morgan and the strange ways
of Bates made it clearly my duty to
remain. Pickering atxl I were en-
gaged In a sharp contest, and I was
beginning to enjoy it to the full, but
1 did not falter in my determination
to visit Cincinnati, hoping to return
without my abaencs being discovered;
so the next afternoon I began prepar-
ing for my journey.
"Bates, I fear that Tin taking a se-
vere cold and I'm going to dose myself
with whisky and quinine and go to
bed. 1 shan't want any dinner—noth-
ing until you see me again."
I yawned and stretched myself with
a groan.
"I'm very sorry, sir. Shan't I call
a doctor?"
"Not a bit of it. I'll Bleep It off and
be as lively as a cricket in the morn-
ing."
At four o'clock I told him to carry
some hot water and lemons to my
rooms; bade him an emphatic good-
night and locked- the door as he left.
Then I packed my evening clothes in
a suitcase. 1 threw the bag und
heavy ulster from a window, swung
myself out upon the limb of a big ma-
plo and let it bend me to its sharpest
and then dropped lightly to tlio
ground.
I passed the gate and struck off to-
ward the village with a joyful sense
of freedom. I reached the station
without incident and waited in the
freight shed to keep out of sight of
tho station loafers until my train drew
up, then quietly jumped aboard. I
"That's all right, sir. I can drive
right in."
"But you needn't," I said, jumping
out. "Walt right here."
Doctor Armstrong's residence was
brilliantly lighted, and the strains ol
a waltz stole across the lawn cheerily.
I made a detour and studied the house,
seeking a door by which I could enter
without passing the unfriendly Gib-
raltar of a host and hostess on guard
to welcome belated guests.
A long conservatory filled with trop-
ical plants gave ma an opportunity.
Promenaders were passing idly
through it and out into another part
of the house by an exit I could not
see. A handsome, spectacled gentle
man opened a glass door within a
yard of where I stood, sniffed the air
and said to his companion as he turn-
ed back with a shrug into the conser-
vatory:
"There's no sign of snow. It Isn't
Christmas weather at all."
He strolled away through the palms
and 1 instantly threw off my ulster
and cap, cast them behind some
bushes and boldly opened the door and
entered.
The ball room was on the third floor
but the guests were straggling down
to supper and I took my stand at the
foot of the broad stairway and glanced
up carelessly as though waiting for
some one. It was a large and bril-
liant company and many a lovely face
passed me as I stood waiting. The
very size of the gathering gave me
security, and I smoothed my gloves
complacently.
The spectacled gentleman whose in-
terest in the weather had given mo a
valued hint of the open conservatory
door, came now and stood beside me.
He even put his hand on my arm with
intimate friendliness.

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Vhole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
—Cuticura Remedies Cured at Cost
of Seventy-Five Cents,
"My little boy, when only an Infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and a light dress is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. I had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and appKsd the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day I commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and I
would have gladly paid $100 if I could
not have got it cheaper. I feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now a boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

DOCTOR'S FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Mo3t Im-
portant Acts in Life.
A Mass. doctor says: "Our health
and physical and mental happiness
ire so largely under our personal con-
trol that the proper selection of food
should be, and is one of the most im-
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, I may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility,
and more* powerful In point of nutri-
ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is suf-
ficient for the cereal part of a meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
"I am convinced that the extensive
and geneml use of high class foods of
tills character would Increase the term
of human life, add to tho sum total of
happiness and very considerably im-
prove society In general. I am free to
mention tho food, for I personally
know of its value."
Grape-Nuts food <*in be used by
babes in arms, or adults. It is ready
cooked, can be served instantly,
either cold with cream, or with hot
water or hot milk poured over. All
sorts of puddings and fancy dishes can
be made with Grape-Nuts. The food
Is concentrated and very economical,

cient for the cereal part of a meal.

A Spider That Fishes.
Prof. Berg, in Buenos Ayres, has
discovered a spider which practices
fi3bing at times. In shallow places it
spins between stones a two-winged,
conical net, on which it runs in the
water and captures small fish, tad-
poles, etc. That it understands its
wot-k well Is shown by the numerous
shriveled skins of little creatures that
lie about in tho web net.

Dr. C. F. Simmons, San Antonio, Tex.
Dear Sir:—I r.m in receipt of your favor of the 7th inst., and in answer
will saj' that 1 visited the Dr. C. F. Simmons ranch in Atascosa County,
Texas, on February 9th, 1907. I spent all day the 9th. and stayed all night
at the Brown ranch, then rode all day the 10th over tne ranch, making two
full days of hard riding on horseback over this ranch.
1 met Mr. Franks at Pleasanton. He has been foreman on this ranch
for 18 years, and knows every foot of the land. I told him I wanted to see
the poorest land on the ranch, and lie directed me how to go, and after
two days' hard riding 1 was fully satisfied with the proposition.
I saw three artesian wells, and was within three-ouarters of a mile of
the fourth one. 1 tasted the water at one of these wells and found it to be
all right. It was very warm, as I understand all artesian water is when it
first comes from the well. I am satisfied this well is furnishing enough water
to irrigate 1,000 acres of land. It is in Headouarters pasture.
I found the soil to be from a heavy black to a dark red, and all the
shades between black and red. In fact, the toil looked good to me, and I
believe I know good land when I see it.
I have read carefully the printed folders and examined the little book,
"New Home Sweet Home" with regard to trie pictures printed in it, and
will sav they are all there just as natural as life.
While 1 did not get to see all over the ranch, I saw enough to satisfy
me that it is all right. I saw the country from San Antonio via Corpus
Christi to Brownsville, but like the Simmons ranch better than anything
I saw in Texas.
I have invested in this Simmon* proposition and am now making prep-
arations to move there this fall, and 1 wish to say to my friends and all of
their friends, take out at least one application. You can't go wrong. It ia
the garden spot of the United States.
Wishing you success, I remain,

BLOOD
DISEASED
CATARRH
AND SYSTEM DISORDERED
Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and
Hiroat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi-
cate ; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh i3 due to the presence of an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The I,ivcr, Kidneys and Bowel3 frequently be-
come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to ail parts of the body the ca-
tarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and
