In the spring of 1894 Mr. Young looked as If his time on earth was lim ited but, Instead of falling as was pre dicted. he soon gained a more healthy look and appeared stronger. As the months went by this Improvement con tinued, until now he Is as rugged and apparently as healthy as a young man gl of thirty, although his gray locks de note a more advanced age. A Times reporter, determined to And out what had made this great change, called upon Mr. Young at the hank and put the question direct and received the following reply: "In truth I am a changed man, and I owe my present good health to I»r. Wil liams' Pink Pills. In the spring of 1894 I was all run down and hud com menced to think that my time had come. 1 had to he prescribed for by physicians, and although I received temporary relief, the same old trouble enme back again and I was worse than before. I had no strength or appetite, and physically I was In a miserable condition. After my work I would go home, but the general lassitude which hung over me left me without any am bition, and when I would go to the table to cut, my appetite failed me and I would have to leave without taking hardly any nourishment.

CHAPTER IX.—fCowrisnsD.i Darby produced a handkerchief which had belonged to Mr. Paul Un mere, and which he had found In hi* rooms, lying on his dressing-table. He showed this to the dog; l*eo snuffed at It, and gave a sharp grunt of dis pleasure. “We want you to And him. Leo, good dog," said the Italian, stroking the silky pars of the dog; "And your mas ter.” Leo understood, but he looked around In evident perplexity. "Take him to the depot!” said Mr. Trevlyn, "he may And the trail there.” They went to the station; the dog sniffed hurriedly at the platform, an 1 In a moment more dashed off Into the highway leading to Harrison Park. "Him got him!" cried Pietro; "him And my master!" CHAPTER X. HE WHOLE OOM pany Joined In fol lowing the dog. He went straight ahead, his nose to the ground, his Aeet limbs bearing him along with a rapidity that the anxious followers found It hard to emulate.

An instant he paused, and then dashing through the hedge, was lost to view, "He Is found! My master Is found!" said Pietro, solemnly, removing his cap, and wiping a tear from his eye. For the man was attached to Mr. Paul Lln mere, In his rough way, and the tear was one of genuine sorrow. His companions looked at each other. Alexandrine grasped the arm of Mar gie, and leaned heavily upon her. "Let ua go to the house—” she fal tered, "I cannot bear It." "I will know the worst,” said Mar gie. hoarsely, and they went on to gether. It was so singular, but no one had thought to look within the graveyard enclosure; perhaps If they had thought of It, they Judged it Impossible that a murderer should select such a locality for the commission of his crime. Mr. Darby opened the gate, entered the yard, and stopped. So did the others. All saw at once that the search was ended. Across the path leading to the graves of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, lay Paul Llnmere. He was white and ghastly; his forehead bare, and his sightless eyes wide open, look ing up to the sun of noonday. His right hand lay on his breast, his left . I • « • < _1_ A % _1 a...# ..KAt. null 11^111,1/ ftmopvu vuv » - "1 which It had fixed Its hold In the cruel death agony.

Ood had taken her case Into his hands In a manner too solemn ly fearful for her to question. Three months after the death of Paul Lin mere , Margie met Archer Trevlyn at the house of Alexan drine Lee, He was quite a constant visitor there, Mrs. Lee told her, with a little conscious pride, for young Trevlyn was being spoken of In busi ness circles as a rising young man. Ho was to be Admitted to partnership In the firm of Belgrade & Co., In the spring. And this once effected, his for tune was made. There was a little whist party at Mrs. I>*e's that evening, and Margie was per suaded to remain. After a while the company asked for music. Whist, the hooks of engravings, and the bijoux of the center table were exhausted, and small talk flagged. Margie was reluc tantly prevailed upon to play. She was not a wonderful performer, but she had a fine ear, and played with finish and accuracy. Hut she sang di vinely. To oblige her friends, she sang a few new things, and then pausing, was about to rise from the Instrument, when Mr. Trevlyn came to her side. "Will you play something for me?” he asked, stooping over her. His dark, passionate eyes brought the blood to her face—made her restless and ner vous In spite of herself. "What would you like?” she managed "This!” He selected an old German ballad, long ago a favorite in the high est musical circles, but now cast aside for something newer and more bril liant. A simple, touching little song of love and sorrow. She was about to decline singing It, but something told her to beware of false modesty, and she sang It through. "I thank you!” he said, earnestly, when she had finished. “It has done me good. My mother used to sing that song, and I have never wanted to hear It from any other lips—until now.” Alexandrine glided along, as radiant as a humming-bird, her cheeks flushed, her black eyes sparkling, her voice sweet as a siren’s. “Sentimentallr'ng, I declare!” she exclaimed, gayly; “and singing that dreadful song, too! ITgh! It gives me the cold shudders to listen to It! How can you sing It, Margie, dear?” “Miss Harrison sang It at my re quest, Miss Lee," said Trevlyn, gravely, "It la an old favorite of mine. Shall I not listen to you now?” Alexandrine took the seat Margie had vacated, and glanced up at the two faces so near her. "Why, Margie’” she said, "a moment ago I thought you were a rose, and now you are a Illy! What Is the matter?” "Nothing, thank you,” returned Mar gie, coldly. "I am weary, and will go home soon, I think.” Trevlyn looked at her with tender anxiety, evidently forgetful that he had requested Miss Lee to play. "You are wearied.” he said. "8hall I call your carriage?” "If you please, yes. Miss Lee, I am sure you will excuse me.” "I shall be obliged to, I suppose.” Trevlyn put Margie’s shawl around her. and led her to the carriage. After' he had assisted her in, he touched lightly the hand he had Just released, and said "Good-night,” his very accent a blessing. CHAPTER XI. N February Mr. Trevlyn received a severe shock. His aged wife had been an inmate of an asylum almost since the death af her son Hubert, and Mr. Trevlyn, though he had loved her with bis Whole soul, had never seen her face In all those weary years. Suddenly, without any premonitory symptoms, her reason returned to her, and save that she was uumindful of the time that had elapsed during htr Insanity, she was the same Caroline Trevlyn of old. They told her cautiously of her hue hand's old age for the unfortunate I woman could not realise that nearly i twenty years had passed since the loss of her mind The first desire she ti< pressed was to see "John." and Mr, Trevlyn wae sent for He ennte. and went Into the preaouce of the wife from whom he hnd been se long divided alone Mb oae knew whnl passed bet wee a them The Interview wwa n lengthy owe sail Mr Trevlyn >nme forth from It animated by • hew born hope The wife wf hie ywuth was to he restored to him' He mode arrangements >o tabs bar borne but alas' they were wever dew i lined tw he carried late »ge,t The se erwt fears of the physician were real teed even sooner than he had nys.i* l The approach of dtsaadutton bad die solved the clouds au long hsaging aver the mind el Caroline Trevlyn dhe Mvetl only two dais after the canning of bar husband and died In hta arms hap py tg the belief that she was going to her awn Mr Ttevlyn ret'»wed home n •hanged being 411 his ssgerttir af | temper wwa gone he wee as gswils as n child Whole days b» would sit th the bait whet* bis wife used tty alt | Mi tbs happy days wf her yeuwg wife hood, speaking to no one. smiling sometimes to himself, as though he heard some inner whisperings which pleased him. One day he roused himself seeming ly, and sent for Mr. Speedwell, his at torney. and Dr. Drake, his family phy sician. With these gentlemen he was closeted the entire forenoon; and from that time forward his hold on the the world and Its thlngn seemed to re lax. One morning, when Matgie went to take his gruel up to him a duty she always performed herself she found him sitting In his armchair, wide awake, but Incapable of speech or mo tion. The physician, hastily summoned, confirmed her worst fears. Mr. Trevlyn had been smitten with paralysis. He was In no immediate danger, perhaps; he might live for years, but was liable to drop away at any moment. It was simply a question of time. Toward the close of the second day after hi* attack, the power of speech re turned to Mr. Trevlyn. "Margie!” he said, feebly. “Margie, corns here,” She flew to his side. "I want you to send for Archer Trev lyn,’' he said, with great difficulty. She made a gesture of surprise. "Yon think I am not quite right In my mind, Margie, that I should make that request. My mind was never clear er, my mental sight never more cor rect. I want to see my grandson." Margie despatched a servant with a brief note to Archer. Informing him of his grandfather’s desire, and then sat down to wait his coining. It was a wild, stormy night In March; the boisterous wind heat against the old mansion, and like a suffering hum an being, shrieked down the wide, old fashioned chimneys. In a lull of the storm there was a tap at the chamber door. Margie opened It, and stood face to face with Archer Truvtvn "Come In,” she whispered, "he Is asleep." "So. I am not asleep,” said the sick man: has m.v grandson come?" "He is here,” said Margie. “I will leave him with you. dear guardian. Let him ring for me when you want me.” "Remain here. Margaret. I want you to be a witness to what passes between 11s. I have no secrets from you, dear child, none whatever. Archer, come hither.” Trevlyn advanced, hls face pale, hls eyes moist with tears. For, having for given hls grandparent, he had been growing to feel for the desolate old man a sort of filial tenderness, and strong In hls fresh young manhood, it seemed terrible to him to see John Trevlyn ly ing there In hls helplessness and feeble ness. waiting for death. "Come hither, Archer,” said the trem ulous voice, "and put your hand on mine. 1 cannot lift a finger to you, but I want to feel once more the touch of kindred flesh and blood. I have an noyed you and yours sadly, my poor boy, but death sweeps away all enmi ties, and all shadows. I see so clearly now. O, If 1 had only seen before!" Arch knelt by the side of hls bed, holding the old man's withered hands In hls. Margie stood a little apart, re garding the pair with moist eyes. "Call me grandfather once, try son; I have never heard the name from the Ups of my kindred.” "Grandfather! O grandfather!” cried the young man, "now that you will let me call you so. you must not die! You must live for me!” (TO BB COXTISUSU.t CONTRABAND ANTIQUITIES.
