CHAPTKIl VIII.-<Cont<l) "It was, I believe, at the Kink that ahe arranged hor meeting with you. Having {ailed in that, she tried not long after a less violent and surer means. You were fol- lowed step by step. You were ob- served one evening enteriug the Vaiietes. She came there. You invited her to supper. 1 need nut tell you the rest." "No, I have not forgtAten the sequel. Then t^is creature did all by order of the one-handed!" "Yes." "So I supposed, for she possesses lier two hand's and is ver;y skilful! in pilfering with thcjn.

"Not last nigfet, I suppose, for y^terday evening quite late he eame to me for orders for some changes I wished to make in mj' ocn&cr-.atoi-y, and this morning, quite e-arly, I found hiu at work." "He was not of this expedition ; tut whv had be served her be- fore]" " "Ho is her husband." "Her husband ! and he tolerates tbo life she leads!" "You are tiiistaken with regard to Justine. Her conduct is quite irreproachable. S-he obeys no one but l»er husband, whom she loves â€" and a woman who protects her." "Yes, the woman of the bracelet. J^ui why did she give a^^ylum to this C'arnocl ? To save him from BorisofI wfiir, well, but tti hide him at her house -that 'hardly accords with h"r great love for her husband." "That is absfjlutcly false. Jus- tine ca-rried M. de Carnoel to a Jiruse where he is in safety, but #Le is not with him." "Then M. Villagosâ€" " a "Has lied.

He is a .Nihilist." "Nihilist 1 this amiable doctor! Then he was concerned in the theft cf the casket?" "It was he who organized it." "Ah! now I see why "be pointed out to me the brunette who skated on rollers. He was in league with her. But why does he reproach her now for her connection with Car- ncel } I am lout in inconsisten- cies." "They are only apparent. I have not told you all. Villagos knew from the first that M. de Oarnoel had disappeared, and that be was suirpected of the theft. It matter- ed little to him that the innocent should be accused. He even je- jciced in it, for it diverted suspivi- 011 from the real culprits. Now it hapi>ened that the womaa vn^o played the principal role in this af- fair was interested for this young lean who was accused, and who was not there to defend himself. She took into her head to repair the wrong that had been involuntarily done, and to attain this end, it was necessary to find M. de Carnoel. Thi" project did not suit Villagos, who feared she would compromise herself, and, above all, the Nihil- ists. And he had reason to fear 't, for M. de Carnoel had fallen into Dorisoff's hands, and could not be delivered without coming in con- flict with a man sent to Paris for the express purpose of watchiug over the enemies of Russia." "The lady confided her design, then, to this Satanic doctor?" "No, but he guessed it. She al- lowed herself to let fall expressions of sympathy for the misfortunes of M. de Carnoel. It was all that was necessary to make him divine that she would seek to save him." "Did she know that Carnoel was a prisoner in the house of Rue de Vigny?" "No one knew it, but the lady suspected it and acted actaurdingly. Villagos only learned it afterward. How, I cannot tell. You saw hira this morning. He certainly made ••;.'• effort to surprise your secrots. Arc you certain you did not let him do so?" "I! deliver up a secret you com- manded me to keep I I listened to tiie doctor, but told him nothing â€" or almost nothing." "Little as you may liave said, it was too much. Villagos is sagaci- cu and cunning. He has to appear the false to discover the true. I fr.ar you have, unknown to your- Rclf, given him the information he v.a- iu search of." "You have a sad opinion of me. Is it my intelligence or my fidelity yoii mistrust?" "Neither; but yuu arc hardly the rival in cunniug of a man whoso life has been >>pent in conspiring, nru who possesses in the highest degree the art of reading the thoughts of others whilst concealing his own. Try to remember. Did JOU not let fall some imprudent word? Did you not nay, for in- stance, that M. de Carnoel was tuUcn last night to a huuso in Rue Jiiuffroy?" "It was he who said so. I told him that he was mistaken." ".\nd that he was there no lon- ger, did yuu not?" "It is true," answered Maxime, reddening a little. "But he knew it already. I told him nothing new." "And no doubt you spoke to him of Kardiki?" "1 no- -I believe not." "Bo frank, and hide nothing from me, I pray. It is important I ohould know." "I only told him that I fancied I had recognized your fencing master dressed as a gentleman and Hcat^id !" a box beside the woman <if the lliriTt, but that I was not quite cor- tiiiii." "Thank you," murmured the ci.untess, w'io had become quite piilc. "1 know now what to tbink of the consequences of your con- versation with that man." "But," resumed Maxiinc, quick- ly, 'he replied that I must be jnis- taken ; that this Kardiki was a poor <!« vil of a Polish refugee, and bad no acquaintance with Mile. Jus tiuo."

"Frult-a-llveB," the famous fruit medicine, is the greatest and most scientinc remedy ever discovered for Rheumatism. "Frult-a-tlves," by Its marvellous action on the bowels, kidncye and skin, prevents the accumulation of Uric Acid, which causes Rheumatlsni and thereby keeps the blood pure and rich. Mrs. Waltpr Hooper, of Hlllview, Ont.. says: "I suffered from severe nheumatlsm, lost the use of my right arm and could not do my work. Noth- ing helped me until I took "Fruit-a- tives" and this medicine cured me." If you are subject to Rheumatism, don't wait until a severe attack comes on before trying "Fruit-a-tlves." Take these fruit tablets now and thus prevent the attacks. "Frult-a-tlves" is sold by all dealers at 6»c a box, 6 for $2.50, or trial box, 26c. or may be obtained from Fruil-a- tives. Limited, Ottawa. • of Kardiki. I will explain to you why I know, as I told you, the wo- man who protects Justine, and who undertook the campaign to draw M. de Carnoel from the claws of Borisoff. In acting thus, this wo- tran disobeyed the orders of the Nihilist committee, represented by Villages, and has incurred a ter- rible punishment. Villagos thought you would speak to me of your conversation with him ; that I w<^ld forsee the danger which menaced my friend, and would has- ten to warn her of it. If he has engaged you to defer your visit till U. morrow, it is because he has re- solved to act before you have seen me. "Well, his Machiavellian plan has miscarried, and now that we both understand perfectly the situ- ation, I charge myself with bring- iiig M. Villagos to reason. Shall I begin by boxing his ears, to teach him to fool mo as he did this morning?" "No," said the countess quickly; "to play your life against his would be too unequal a game. It is for me to act. for I alone can save those who liave been exposed to the i vengeance of the Nihilists. But fiist I must convince you of M. de ^'arnoel's innocence. I have not yet spoken to you of the second at- tcmptr-the one which sncceeeded. It was made by one man aloneâ€"the some who accompanied my friend oo the first expedition, in which she lost her hand. I knew this man, and I swear to you that no one as- sisted him in opening the safe ; that h; took only the casket, and that ho was ignorant of the existence of M. de Carnoel." "It remains to be explained bow M. de Carnoel had on his person the fifty thousand francs which v.erc certainly taken from the safe. Vignory explained to us that the packages of note» were pinned Jn a particular mapner. and is certaia of having pinned them himself." "M. Vignory is mistaken, or he lies." , , ., "My uncle would scarcely admit that, if the question were submit- ted to him." "He would admit it, I suppose, it my friend should appear before l:im to confirm the statement I have just made to you." "I doubt it. Besides, she could not do that without confessing her ewn guilt." "Without confessing that she has conspired against the oppressors of her courtry." "It would be a generous action â€"too generous; for if M. de Car- noel is innocent, why docs he not come forward himsclfl" "Ho would already have done so if my friend had not restrained him," replied the countess, with c:,'nfidciice. "Your friend! He has, then, tt'ken refuge with her?" "Where else would he go after the events of last night? Justine carried him to her protectress, and he has remained with her." "That is natural enough; but the asylum is ill chosen for a man who claims to vindicate himself of the charge with which he is accused, fi.r the person who receives him has attempted to open the safe, and one of her accomplices has succeeded. It will not fail to be said that these per pie all understand each other." "My friend will request M. Dor- geres to examine all those who tcok part in the affair of the cas- ket. They will declare unanimous- ly that M. de Carnoel knew no- thing about it, and as they will be ccmpelled to accuse themselves their testimony need not be suspec- UA." "Well, let him appear and plead his own cause if he has nothing to reproach himself with. I do not siy that he will win, but in any event he has little to lose." "And had he everything to lose be would not hesitate." "You have, then, seen himi" "Yee." "Will he go aloTiel" "No. In all probability he would not be received." "Will it be more likely if he gfles with your friend?" "I shall go with hira, and I count en your assistance. Your presence wi uld be indispensable to me." "I am at your service, but my situation is a difificult one. I have just sworn to my cousin, sworn on my honor, that Robert de Carnoel was unworthy of her." "You spoke according to your conscience. You will speak differ- ently, now that you have more light. And your cousin will believe ycu now that you have proved to her that you have never disguised your opinion." (To be continued.) UNNATURAL THINNESS EASILY CORRECTED. By Clever Prescription Which Can Be Filled at Any Drug Store. No Need to be Thin Now as Reports Show This Method Ef- fective. People who are very thin and scrawny ought not to be so. Un- doubtedly they are more subject to disease and contagions than the normally fleshy. Thinness is usu- ally accompanied by weakness, and weakness subjects any one to colds, coughs, consumption, pneumonia, etc. It has been discovered, al- most by accident, that tincture ca- domene, when combined in a pre- scription with proper accelerativo medicines, becomes one of the most valuable, effective and reliable nu- tritive or flesh making medicines known to science. It is especially beneficial to men and women be- tween the ages of sixteen and fifty- five, who from lack of proper nerve force and digestion, remain unde- veloped in body, lirnbs. arms and bust. A well rounded symmetrical figure in man or woman indicate health, magnetism, stamina and happiness. The reader who wishes to add from ten to forty pounds should not fail to begin with this valuable pre- scription : First, obtain of any well stocked druggist, three ounces of essence of pepsin and three ounces of syrup of rhubarb in an 8 oz. bottle. Th-^n add one ounce compound essence cardiol. Shake and let stand two hours. Then add one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not carda- mom). Shake well and take one teaspoonful before each meal, one after each meal. Drink "plenty of water between meals arid when re- tiring. Keep up this treatment re- gularly and of a certainty from one to three pounds will be added to the weight each week, and the gen- eral health will also imporve.

The money •pent for Canadian goods goes to build up Canadian industries and Itrosperity, and makes it easier for every Canadian to earn a good iviog.

Among tho ahip- pers and properties bagginK ore are the Lucky Oodtrer, the Borland- Thompson, the Devlin and tho Moose Horn minea. The Mooae Horn mine pat in a new plant this spring and are now sinking a winie at the IZS-foot level on a vein which has ehown valnca from the surface. In the midst of the mines is the McKensie. a group of five properties on which work was begun laat Jan- nary. They have bepii fortunate from the start and aoon hope to rauk with the shippers. The engineer in charge, Mr. Harry HcMaster, reports that the vol|^ on location 846 of thu company's gronp at a depth of 60 feet continued stead- ily the whole distance and Bliowcd free â- liver all the way with the eicep'tion of fonr feet. Several hundred feet of stripping has already been done, re- sulting in the discovery of two ad- ditional veins, one of which is 7 in- ches wide, catting at an angle of six degrees. It la th« intention to con- tinue this shaft to the 75 or 100 toot level, then drift to the UcKeniio vein. where the new 7 inch vein crosses. Mr. McMastcr states that in his opinion this week will result in the placing of the value of the mine beyond question. The necessary builalngs have now all been erected, including bunk house, cooking camp, manager's dwelling, blacksmith shop, powder house, and the ncccsss.ry machinery Is being In- stalled. A good wagon road has been built from the main road which par- allels the road from Elk L.ike.
