but he never ceased experimenting in
the hope that some day he would dis
cover a remedy. After many failures
he has at last succeeded and is today
perfectly cured and a well man, and
explains that his recovery is due to the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This rem
edy has been successfully applied to
many cases of Lame Back, Rheuma

to be no case of the kind that Dodd's

The Diamond Bracelet
By MRS. HENRY WOOD.
Author of Eut Lynne, Etc.
CHAPTER IX—(Continued.)
“The bracelet could not have gone
without hands to take It. Gerard," re
plied Lady Sarah. "How else do you
account for its disappearance?”
"I—I believe there must be some
misapprehension, some great mistake
in the affair altogether, Lady Sarah. It
apears incomprehensible now, but it
will be unraveled.”
"Ay, and in double-quick time,”
wrathfully exclaimed the Colonel.
“You must think you are talking to a
pack of Idiots, Master Garard. Here
the bracelets was spread temptingly
out on a table, you went into the
room, being hard up for money, fin
gered it, wished for it, and both you
and the bracelet disappeared. Sir"—
turning sharply to the officer “did a
clearer case ever go before a jury?”
Gerard Hope bit his lip. "Be more
just, Colonel," said he. “Your own
brother’s son steal a bracelet!”
“And I am happy my brother is not
alive to know it,” rejoined the Colonel
in an obstinate tone. “Take him in
hand, Mr. Officer; we’ll go to Marl
borough street. I’ll just change my
coat, and-”
.... _ill nl 1 B ,.«ln<l T nrlir
“No, no, you will nor: crjeu raiu.y
Sarah, laying hold of the dressing
gown and the Colonel in it; ‘‘you shall
not go nor Gerard either. Whether
he is guilty or not, it must not be
brought against him publicly. He
bears your name, Colonel, and so do I,
and it would reflect disgrace on us all.”
“Perhaps you are made of money,
my lady. If so, you may put up with
the loss of a £250 bracelet. I don t
choose to do so."
“Then, Colonel, you will, and you
must. Sir,” added Lady Sarah to the
detective, “we are obliged to you for
your attendance and advice, but it
turns out to be a family affair as you
perceive, and we must decline to
prosecute. Besides, Mr. Hope may not
be guilty."
Alice rose and stood before Colonel
Hope. “Sir, if this charge were pre
ferred against your nephew, if it came
to trial, I think it would kill me. You
know my unfortunate state of health;
the agitation, the excitement of ap
pearance to give evidence, would be
I—I cannot continue; I cannot speak
of it without terror; I pray you, for
my sake, do not prosecute Mr. Hope.”
The Colonel was about to storm
forth an answer, but her white face,
ner heaving throat, had some effect
even on him.
“He is so doggedly obstinate. Miss
Seaton. If he would but confess and
tell where it is, perhaps I’d let him
off.”
Alice thought somebody else was ob
stinate.
“I do not believe he has anything to
confess,” she deliberately said; “I
truly believe that he has not. He could
not have taken it, unseen by me; and
when we quitted the room, I feel sure
the bracelet was left in it.”
“It was left in it, so help me heav
en!” uttered Gerard.
“And now I’ve got to speak,” added
Frances Chenevix. “Colonel, if you
were to press the charge against Ger
ard, I would go before the magistrates
and proclaim myself the thief. I vow
and protest I would, just to save him,
and you and Lady Sarah could not
prosecute me, you know.”
“You do well to stand up for him!”
retorted the Colonel. “You would not
be quite so ready to do it, though, my
Lady Fanny, if you knew something
I could tell you.”
“Oh, yes, I should,” returned the
young lady with a vivid blush.
The Colonel, beset on all sides, bad
no choice but to submit; but he did so
with an ill grace, and dashed out of
the room with the officer, as fiercely
as if he had been charging an enemy
at full tilt.
“The sentimental apes these women
make of themselves!” cried he in his
polite way, when he had got him in
private. “Is it not a clear case of
guilt?”
“In my private opinion, it certainly
is,” was the reply; “though he carries
it off with a high hand. I suppose,
Colonel, you still wish the bracelet to
be searched for?”
“Search in and out and high and
low; search everywhere. The rascal!
to dare even to enter my house in
secret!”
“May I inquire if the previous breach
with your nephew had to do with
money affairs?”
“No,” said the Colonel, turning more
crusty at the thoughts called up. “I
fixed up a wife for him and he would
n’t have her; so I turned him out of
doors and stopped his allowance.”
“Oh,” was the only comment of the
police officer.
CHAPTER X.
It was in the following week, and
Saturday night. Thomas, without his
hat, was standing at Colonel Hope's
door, chatting to an acquaintance
when he perceived Gerard come tear
ing up the street. Thomas' friend
backed against the rails and the
spikes, and Thomas himself stood
with the door in his hand, ready to
touch his hair to Mr. Gerard as he
pass* d. Instead of passing, however,
Gerard cleared the steps at a bound,
pulled Thomas with himself inside,
shut the door and double locked it.
Thomas was surprised in all ways.
Not only at Mr. Hope's coming In at
all, for the Colonel had again harshly
forbidden the house to him. and the
servants to admit him. but at the sud
denness and strangeness of the action.
“Cleverly done,” quoth Gerard, when
he could get his breath. “I saw a
shark after me, Thomas, and had to
make a bolt for it. Your having been
at the door saved me.”
Thomas turned pale.
“Mr. Gerard, you have locked It, and
I’ll put up the chain, if you order me,
but I’m afeared it'B going agin the law
to keep out them detectives by force of
arms.”
“What's the man’s head running on
now?” returned Gerard. “There are
no detectives after me; it was only a
seedy sheriff's officer. Pshaw, Thom
as! there’s no worse crime attached to
me than a slight suspicion of debt.”
“I’m sure I trust not, sir; only mas
ter will have his own way.”
"Is he at home?”
“He’s gone to the opera with my
lady. The young ladies are upstairs
alone. Miss Seaton has been ill, sir,
ever since the bother, and Lady Fran
ces is staying at home with her.”
“I'll go up and see them. If they
are at the opera, we shall be snug and
safe.” •
“Oh, Mr. Gerard, had you better go
up, do you think?” the man ventured
to remark. “If the Colonel should
come to hear of it-”
“How can he? You are not going
to tell him, and I am sure they will
not. Besides, there's no help for it;
I can’t go out again for hours. And,
Thomas, if any demon should knock
and ask for me, I am gone to—to an
evening party up at Putney; went out
you know by the side door.”
Thomas watched him run up the
stairs, and shook his head. “One can’t
help liking him, with it all; though
where could the bracelet have gone
to if he did not take it?”
The drawing rooms were empty, and
Gerard made his way to a small room
that Lady Sarah called her "boudoir.”
There they were—Alice buried In the
pillows of an invalid’s chair, and Lady
Frances careening about the room, ap
parently practicing some new dancing
step. She did not see him; Gerard
danced up to her, and took her hand,
and joined in it.
wnen tne cat s away tne mice can
play,” cried Gerard, treating them to a
step.
“Mr. Hope,” remonstrated Alice, lift
ing her feeble voice, “how can you in
dulge these spirits while things are so
miserable?"
“Sighing and groaning won’t make
them light,” he answered, sitting down
on a sofa near to Alice. “Here’s a seat
for you, Fanny, come along,” he added,
pulling Frances to his side. “First
and foremost, has anything come to
light about that mysterious bracelet?”
"Not yet,” sighed Alice. “But 1
have no rest; I am in hourly fear of
it.”
“Fear!" uttered Gerard in astonish
ment. Alice winced and leaned her
head upon her hand; she spoke in a
low tone.
“You must understand what I mean,
Mr. Hope. The affair has been pro
ductive of so much pain and annoy
ance to me, that I wish it could be ig
nored forever.”
“Though it left me under a cloud,"
said Gerard. "You must pardon me if
I cannot agree with you. My constant
hope is that it may all come to day
light; I assure you I have specially
mentioned it in my prayers.”
“Pray don’t, Mr. Hope,” reproved
Alice.
“I’m sure I have cause to mention it,
for it is sending me into exile; that
and other things.”
“It is guilty only who flee, not the
innocent,” said Frances. “You don’t
mean what you say, Gerard.”
“Don’t 1! There's a certain boat ad
vertised to steam from London bridg#
wharf tomorrow, wind and weather
permitting, and It steams me with It.
I am compelled to fly my country.”
“Be serious and say what you
mean.”
"Seriously, then, I am over head and
ears in debt. You know my uncle
stopped my allowance in the spring
and sent me—metaphorically—to the
dogs. I had a few liabilities, and they
have all come down upon me. But for
this confounded bracelet affair, there’s
no doubt the Colonel would have set
tled them; rather than let the name of
Hope be dubiously bandied by the
public; he would have expended his
ire in growls and have gone and done
it. But that is over now, and I go to
take up my abode in some renowned
colony for desolate English, beyond
the pale of English lock-ups. Bou
logne or Calais, or Dieppe or Brussels
I may see; and there I may be kept for
years.”
Neither of the young ladles answered
immediately; they saw the facts were
serious, and that Gerard was only
making light of it before them.
“How shall you live?” questioned
Alice. “You must live there as well
as here; you cannot starve.”
“I shall just escape the starving. I
have got a trifle, enough to swear by,
and keep me on potatoes and salt.
Don’t you envy me my prospects?”
“When do you suppose you may re
turn?" inquired I^ady Frances; “I ask
it seriously, Gerard."
“I know no more than you, Fanny.
I have no expectations but from the
Colonel. Should he never relent, I
am caged there for good.”
“And so you ventured here to tell
us this, and bid us good-by?”
“No; I nev.er thought of venturing
here; how could I tell that the bashaw
would be at the opera? A shark Bet
on me in the street, and I had to run
for my life. Thomas happened to be
conveniently at the door, and I rushed
in, and Baved myself."
"A shark!” uttered Alice, in dismay,
who In her Inexperience had taken
his words literally—“a shark In the
street!”
I^ady Frances Chenevix laughed.
“One with sharp eyes and a hooked
nose, Alice, speeding after me on two
legs, with a polite invitation from one
of the law lords. He is watching on
the opposite side now.”
“How shall you get away?” ex
claimed Frances.
“If the bashaw comes home before
12 Thomas must dispose of me some
where in the lower regions; Sunday is
free for us, thank goodness. So please
make the most of me, both of you, for
it Is the last time you will have the
privilege. By the way, Fanny, will
you do me a favor? There used to be
a little book of mine in the glass book
case In the library; my name in It
and a mottled cover; I wish you would
go and find it for me.”
—
CHAPTER XI.
Lady Frances left the room with
alacrity. Gerard immediately bent
over Alice, and his tone changed.
“I have sent her away on purpose.
She’ll be half an hour rummaging,
for I have not seen the book there for
ages. Alice, one word before we part.
You must know that it was for your
sake I refused the 4 marriage proposed
to me by my uncle; you will not let
me go Into banishment without a word
of hope, a promise of your love to
lighten it.”
"Oh, Gerard," she eagerly said, "I
am so glad you have spoken; I almost
think I should have spoken myself, if
you had not. dust look at me."
"I am looking at you,” he fondly
answered.
“Then look at my hectic face, my
constantly tired limbs, my sickly
hands; do they not plainly tell you
that the topics you would speak of
must be barred topics to rtie?”
“Why should the/ bo? You will get
stronger.”
‘‘Never. There is no hope of it.
Many years ago, when the illness first
came on me, the doctors said I might
get better with time; but the time has
come, and come, and come, and—gone,
and only left me a more confirmed in
valid. To an old age I cannot live;
most probably but a few years; ask
yourself, Gerard, if I am one who
ought to marry and leave behind a
husband to regret me; perhaps chil
dren. No, no.”
"You are cruel, Alice."
“The cruelty would be, if I selfishly
allowed you to talk of love to me; or,
still more selfish to let you cherish
hopes that I would marry. When you
hinted at this the other evening when
than wretched bracelet was lost, I re
proached myself with cowardice in
not answering more plainly than you
had spoken. I should' have told yoy,
Gerard, as I tell you now, that nothing,
no persuasion from the dearest person
on earth shall ever induce me to
marry.”
“You dislike me, I see that.”
“I did not say so,” answered Alice,
with a glowing cheek. “I think it
very possible that—if I could ever al
low myself to dwell on such things—I
should like you very much, perhaps
better than I could like any one.”
“And why will you not?" her per
suasively uttered.
“Gerard, I have told you. I am too
weak and sickly to be other than I
am. It would only be deceiving myself
and you. No, Gerard, my love and
hopes must lie elsewhere.”
“Where?” he eagerly asked.
Alice pointed upwards.
“I am learning to look upon it as my
home,” she whispered, “and I must not
suffer hindrances to obscure the way
It will be a better home than even
your love, Gerard.”
Gerard Hope smiled.

GIRL WHO GOT PRETTIER.
An Kiubarrasolnc Allsanderstandlnff
Canned by a Vocal Cockneylam.
Mr. Charles Whymper, the well
known engraver and animal painter,
told the following anecdote a few
years ago: “1 dined at Mr. So-and
So’s at Highgate last night, and as a
mark of honor his eldest daughter was
assigned to me to take down to din
ner. She’s a bright girl, and I got
along very nicely with her and Lady
Bletherington on the other side, until
the ladies were on the eve of retiring
to the drawing room. I was talking
about the beautiful scenery near the
house, the views from the windows,
the fine air, when Miss-suddenly
said: ‘I think I get prettier every day
—don’t you?' What could she mean? I
did not dare to answer her, so I said:
'I beg your pardon—what did you
say?’ ‘I said I think I get prettier
every day.’ There was no mistaking
her words, so 1 answered: ‘Yes, in
deed, you get prettier; and no wonder,
in such fresh air, and—’ Just then she
caught her mother's eye. and with the
other ladies she left the room. As she
went out she looked over her shoulder
with such a withering scorn in her
eyes that I knew I had put my foot in
it some how. Then It flashed upon
me that I had misunderstood her; she
had dropped an ’h.’ What she had
said was not a silly compliment to
herself; the sentence really was: ‘I
think Highgate prettier every day.’ ’’
Mr. Whymper’s hair is quite gray now.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle—Receipts of cattle were of fairly
liberal proportions and the demand on
the part of locnl packers was In good
shape the market ruled active and strong
on aJl desirable grades. Good to choice
corn fed steers wero in active demand and
strong prices were paid. A string of ten
cars sold at $6.75 and another bunch of
four cars sold at $7.00. They were choice
cattle and were bought by a local packer
for Christmas trade. Anything above
$6.00 today sold very readily at satisfac
tory prices. Canners also sold at strong
prices and In some cases sales looked
quite a little higher. The medium grades
sold more freely than they have of late
and the market was fully steady. Bulls,
veal calves and stags were in good de«
mand at fully steady prices. Western
range cattle were rather scarce. Beef
steers of good to choice quality were
picked up In good season at tlrm prices.
Range cows sold a little stronger than
they did yesterday, but the trade on
stockers and fed era was slow and weak.
Hogs—There was an enormous run of
hogs, the fresh receipts amounting to
over 200 cars. As other markets were
quoted a little lower, packers started out
bidding a big nickel lower. They did not
get many hogs on the start, howover, and
finally raised their bids a little, and the
first sales were mostly 5c lower than yes
terday's general market. Good heavy
weight hogs sold mostly at $5.75, while
prime heavies went from $5.75 to $5.80.
Good mixed hogs sold largely at $5.75 and
$5.72^. Light, hogs sold from $5.65 down.

TOO MANY ORDERS fOR COAL
Penu.ylvanl. Company finable to Meet
Knroppnn DpwhikI
PHIf. \DELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 30.—No
more foreign orders for anthracite are
to be accepted by the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal and Iron company for
the present. These have become so
large and so numerous in the last
month that to Btipply them would seri
ously interfere with meeting the de
mand for home consumption. The
cargoes already landed In European
ports, particularly of France and Ger
many, have proved so successful in ad
vertising the American article among
foreign consumers of coal that almost
daily orders from French, German
and even English manufacturers are
reaching the offices of the Reading
company. -s
Present low rates to European ports
on outgoing vessels are principally ac
countable for the foreign demand. The
freight to French ports now costs only
$2.37 per ton, the price formerly being
