DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.
How frequently doss a head line simi

papers. Tho rush, push and strenuous
uoss of the American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of tho hnart, attended by Ir

smothorod solutions and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the promlnont Ingrodlents of
which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

of tho loading writers on Materia Afedfcv
for the cure of Just such cases. Golden

and as tho heart Is almost wholly com
posed of muscular tissue, It naturally
follows that It must bo ereatly streuuth-

probably tho most important Ingredient
of " Golden Modlcal Discovery," so far
as Its marvelous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con-

"Tm not going fur; only only n little
way 011 the Itritirgnto road," Isabel an
swered, piteously; and then her head
Hank back ngalunt the wall behind her,
and slit sighed 11 plaintive, almost linn rt
hroken sigh. Her life was very hard
just now, begirt with terror nnd peril,
as she thought.
A whole after life of happiness could
not have atoned to her for the pang of
peeing a dreadful change come upon the
familiar face. Sometimes, in spite of
herself, though she put away the thought
from her with shuddering horror, the
idea that vieorge Gilbert might not re
cover would come into her mind.
Ho, might not recover; the horror which
so many others had passed through
might overtake her. Oh, the hideous
tramp of the undertaker's men upon the
stairs; the knocking, unlike all other
knocking; the dreadful aspect of the
shrouded house! She thought of nil the
deaths in her favorite books; of Paul
Iloinbey, fading slowly, day by day,
with the golden water rippling on the
wall; David Coperdeld, sitting weeping
iu the dusk; and Agnes, with her holy
face and quiet uplifted hand. If If any
such sorrow came upon her, Mrs. Gilbert
thought that she would join some com
munity of holy women, and go about do
ing good until she died. Was it so very
strange, this sudden conversion? Surely
not! In these enthusiastic natures sen
timent may take any unexpected form.
CIIAIM'NIt XXII.
After that scene iu the church at
Ilurstonleigh, Holand Lansdell went
back to Mordred, to think, with even
greater bitterness, of the woman he
loved. That silent encounter the sight
of the pale face, profoundly melancholy,
nhuost statuesque in its air of half
despairing resignation had exercised no
softening iullueiiee mi tin mind of this
young man, who oiihl not understand
why the one treasure for which he lan
guished should be denied to him.
He was sitting in the library by the
lamplit table one sultry June evening.
when George Gilbert had been ill about
a fortnight, a soft, subdued light shin
ing dimly. He had been brooding over
his hooks, but scarcely reading half a
dozen pages ever since '.) o'clock, and it
was now half past II. He was stretch
ing his hand toward the bell in order to
summon his valet, and release that per
sonage from the task of sitting up any
longer, when that gentleman entered the
library.
"Would you please to see any one.
sirV" he asked.
"Would I please to see any one?"
cried Holand; "who would want to see
me at such a time of night? Is there
anything wrong? In it any one from
from Lowlands?"
"No. sir; it's n strange lady; least
ways, when I say 11 strange lady. 1 think,
sir, though her veil being down, and a
very thick veil. I should not like to speak
positive I think it's Mrs. Gilbert, the
doctor's lady, from Graybridgc."
Mr. Lansdell's valet coughed doubt
fully behind his hand, and looked dis
creetly at the carved oaken bosses in
the ceiling. Kola ltd started to his feet.
"Mrs. Gilbert," he muttered, "at such
an hour as this. It can't he; she would
never . Show the lady here, whoever
she Is," he added aloud to his servant.
"There must be something wrong; it
.must be some very important business
that brings any one to this place to
night." The valet departed, closing the door
behind him, ami Holand stood alone upon
the hearth, waiting for his late visitor.
All the wanner tints faded out of his
face, and left him very pale. Why had
she come to him nt such a time? What
purpose could she have in coming to
that house save one? She had come to
revoke her decision. Kor a moment n
Hood oi rapture swept into his soul, warm
nnd revivifying as the glory of a sud
den sunburst 011 n dull gray autumn day.
"My poor ignorant, innocent girl; how
hard it seems that my love must for
ever place her at a disadvantage," he
thought.
The door was opened by the valet with
ns bold a sweep as if a duchess had
been entering in all the gh-y of her
court robes, and Isabel came into the
room. One glance showed Mr. Lansdell
that she was very nervous, that she was
suffering cruelly from the terror of his
presence; and it may be that even before
she had spoken he understood that she
had not come to announce any change in
her decision. There was nothing desper
ate iu her manner. She stood before him
pale and irresolute, with pleading eyes
lifted meekly to his face.
"I hope you. are not angry with me
ror coming here at such a time," she
aid, in a low, tremulous voice; "I could
not come any earlier, or I "
"It can never he anything but a pleas
ure for me to see you," Holand answered
gravely, "even though the pleasure Is
strangely mingled with pain. You have
como to me, perhaps, because you are
In some kind of trouble, and have need
of my services in some way or other. I
am very much pleased to think that you
can so far confide iu me; I am very glad
lo think that you can rely on my friend
ship."
Mr. Lansdell said this becnuse he saw
that the doctor's wife had come to de
mand some favor at his hands, and he
wished to smooth the wny for that de
mand. Isabel looked up nt him with
something like surprise In her gaze. She
had not tupocted that he would be like
this,
able.
calm, still, self possessed, reason
A mournful fccllmr took uimsesslon
of her heart. She thought that his love
must hnve perished altogether, or he
could not surely have been so kind to
her, so gentle or dispassionate.
"Vou are very, very good not to be
angry with me." she said. "I have come
to usk you a favor, a very great favor,
and I "
She stopped, and sat silently twisting
the hnndle of her parasol, the old green
parasol under whose shadow Holand hnd
so often seen her. It was quite evident
that her courage had failed her altogeth
er nt this crisis.
"It Is not for myself I nm going to
ask you this favor," she said, still hesi
tating and looking down at the parasol;
"it Is for another person, who it Is a
secret, in fact, nnd "
"Whntever it is, it shall be granted,"
Holand answered, "without question,
without comment."
"I hnve come to ask you to lend me
or nt least I had better ask you to give
It to me. for indeed I don't know when
I should ever be able to pay it some
money, a great deal of money fifty dol
lars." She looked at him as if she thought
the magnitude of the sum must inevit
ably astonish him, and she saw a tender,
half-melancholy smile upon his face.
"My dear Isabel my dear Mrs. Gil
bert if all the money I possess iu the
world could secure you happiness, I
would willingly leave here to-morrow a
penniless man. I would
world that you should be
for an hour, while I have
not for the
embarrassed
more money
than I know what to do
with. I will
write you a check immediately or, bet
ter still, half 11 dozen blank checks,
which you can fill up as you require
them."
Hut Isabel shook her head at this pro
posal. "You are very kind," she said,
"but a cheek would not do. It must be
money, if you please; the person for
whom I want it would not take a check.".
"The person for whom you want it."
he repeated. "It is not for yourself,
then, that you want this money?"
"Oh, no, indeed. What would I want
with so much money?"
"I thought you might be in debt. I
thought that ah, I see; it is for your
husband that you want the money."
"Oh, no; my husband knows nothing
about it. Hut oh. pray don't question
me. All. if you knew how much I suf
fered before I came here to-night. If
there had been any other person in the
world who could have helped me I would
never have come here; but there is no
one, and I must get the money."
Holand's face grew darker as Mrs.
Gilbert spoke. Her atritation, her earn
estness, mystified and alarmed him.
"Isabel." he cried, "heaven knows 1
have little right to question you; but
there is something in the manner of your
request that alarms me. Can you doubt
that I am your friend next to your
husband, your best and truest friend,
perhaps? Korget every word that I
have ever said to you, and believe only
what 1 say to-night to-night, when all
my better feelings are amused at the
sight of you. Helieve that I am your
friend, Isabel, and for pity's sake trust
me. Who is this person who wants
money of you? Is it your stepmother?
If so, my checkbook is at her disposal."
"Xo," faltered the doctor's wife; "it
is not my stepmother, but "
"Hut it is for some member of your
family?"
"Yes," she answered, drawing a long
breath; "but oh, pray do not ask me any
more questions. You said just now that
you would grant me the favor I asked
without question or comment. Ah, if
you knew how painful it was to me to
come here."
"Indeed! I am sorry that it was so
painful to you to trust me."
"Ah, if you know " Isabel mur
mured in n low voice, speaking to her
self rather than to Holand.
Mr. Lansdell took n bunch of keys
from his pocket nnd went across the room
to an iron snfe cunningly fashioned after
the presentment of an antique ebony cab
inet. He opened the ponderous door and
took n little casket from one of the
shelves.
Holand counted out some notes and
handed them to Isabel. She arose ami
stood for a few moments, hesitating as
if she had something more to say some
thing almost as embarrassing in its na
ture as the money question had been.
"I I hope you will not think me troti
hh 'some," she said; "hut there is one
more favor that I want to ask you."
"Do not hesitate to ask anything of
me; all I want is your confidence."
"It is only a question that I wish to
ask. You talked some time since of go
ing away."
"Yes, my plans aro all made for nn
early departure."
"A very early departure? You are
going almost immediately?"
"Immediately to-morrow morning. It
may be a long time before I return."
There was a little pause, during which
Holand saw that a faint Hush kindled in
Isabel Gilbert's face, and thnt her breath
came and went rather quicker than be
fore. '"Then
1
must say good-bye to-night,"
she said.
"Yes; it
meet again
is not likely that we shnll
Good night good-bye. Per
day. when I um n nottorliiL'
hams some
old man, telling people the same anec
dotes every time I shall dine with them,
I shall come bock, and find Mr. Gilbert
a crack physician in Kylmlnston. netted
by rich old Indies and riding- in a yellott
barouche till then, good-bye."
He held Isabel's hand for a few mo
ments, as if in that frail tenure he held
the Inst link thnt bound him to love and
life. Isabel looked at him wonderlngly.
How different was this adieu from that
passionate farewell under Thurston's
onk, when he had flung himself upon the
ground nnd wept aloud In the anguish oi
parting from her!
"Only one more word, Mrs. Gilbert,"
Holand said, nftcr a brief pause. "Your
husband does he know about this per
son who asks for money from yon?"
"No I I should have told him I
think and asked him to give me the
money, only he is very III; he must not
be troubled about anything."
"He Is very ill your husband is 111?"
""es I thought every one knew. Ha
' (', very ill. It is on that account
- iTnie here so late. I have been sitting
iii his room. Good night."
"Hut you cannot go back alone; it is
such a long way. It will be 2 o'clock
iu the morning before you can get back
to Graybridgc. I will drive you home;
or it will be better to let my coachman
my mother's old coachman drive you
home."
It was in vain that Mrs. Gilbert pro
tested against this urrungemeut. Ho
land Lansdell reflected that as the doc
tor's wife had been admitted by his vulet,
her visit would, of course, be patent to
all the other servants nt their next
morning's breakfast. Under these cir
cumstances Mrs. Gilbert could not leave
Mordred with too much publicity. Isabel
returned very comfortably to Graybridgc;
but she begged the coachman to stop at
the top of tne lane, where she alighted
and bade him good night.
She found all dark iu the little sur
gery, which she entered by means of hei
husband's latch key, and she crept softly
up the stairs to the room opposite thai
iu which George Gilbert lay, watched
over by Mrs. .IcfTson.
GHAPTEH XXIII.
"See that some hothouse grapes and
a pine are sent to Mr. Gilbert at Gray
bridge," Holand said to his valet, on th
morning after Isabel's visit. "I was
very sorry to hear of his serious illness
from his wife last night."
Mr. Lansdell's valet, very busily oc
cupied with a hat brush, smiled softly to
himself as his employer made this
speech. The master of Mordred Priory
need scarcely have stained his erring soul
by any hypocritical phrase respecting thfl
Graybridgc surgeon.
"I shouldn't mind laying a twelve
mouth's wages that if her husband dies
lie marries her within six months," Ho-'
land's man servant remarked, as he sip
ped his second cup of coffee; "I never did
ce such an infatuated young man iu all
my life."
Holand went to Lowlands in the even
ing. He found Gwendoline in the draw
ing room, looking something like Maris
Antoinette in a demi-toilette of gray silk,
with a black lace scarf crossed upon her
stately shouldeis. and tied iu a careless
bow at the back of her waist. Mr. liny
mond was established in a big chintz
covered easy chair, turning over a box of
books newly arrived and muttering scorn
ful comments on their titles and contents.
"At last!" he exclaimed, as Mr. Lans
dell's name was announced. "I've called
at Mordred half a dozen times within
the last two months; but as your people
always said you were out, and I could
always see by their faces that you wera
at home. I have given up the business
in despair."
The dinner was drawing to a closs
when (Jen. Huysdale mentioned a nama
that awakened all Mr. Lansdell's atten
tion. "I rode into Grayhridge after leaving
you, Holand," he said, "and 1 made a
call or two. I was sorry to hear thai
Mr. Gilmore Gilsou Gilbert, ah, yes,
Gilbert that very worthy young doctor,
whom we met nt your house, is ill. Low
fever really in a very dangerous state.
You'll be very sorry to hear it, Gwendo
line." "I am sorry to hear it,v site said. "I
am sorry for Mr. Gilbert, for more than
one reason. I am sorry he has so very
bad a wife."
Poland's face flushed crimson, and h
turned to his cousin as if about to speak,
but Mr. Raymond was too quick iot
him.
"I think the less we say upon thnt
subject the better," ho exclaimed, eager
ly; "I think, Gwendoline, that Is a sub
ject that had much better not be dis
cussed here."
She was very quiet, but very pale, and
looked at her cousin as steadily In tho
eyes ns if she had been fighting n small
sword duel with him. "The subject is
one that will scarcely bear discussion
here or elsewhere; bu.t since you nccuso
me of feminine malice, I nm bound to
defend myself. 1 say that Mrs. Gilbert
is a very bad wife. A person who 11
fcoen to attend a secret rendezvous with
a stranger, not once, but several times,
with all appearance of stealth and mys
tery, while her husband lies betweoa
life and death, must surely be one of th
worst of women."
Gwendoline rose from the table and
Mr. Raymond hurried to open the dooi
for her. Hut Roland's eyes were novo
lifted from his empty plate; he waj
waiting for something; nnd now nnd the
11 little convulsive movement of his lowut
lip betrayed that he was agitated; bo
thnt was all. Then the general exclaim-'
ed nt the lateness of the hour.
"I've some letters to write that must
go by to-night's post," he said. "I knov
you'll excuse me if I leave you for nn
hour or so."
Charles Raymond murmured some po
Kte little conventionality as the general
left the room; but he never removed
his eyes from Roland's face. He had
watched the brewing of the storm, and
wns prepared for a speedy thunder chip.
Nor was he mistaken in his calculations.
