Her boudoir is one ,of the best rooms, and I have no doubt her bedroom is the same."

It may sound odd ; but, I’ll tell you how it was.” And Bob described his hunt, with Helena. for Fauchcttc, whom they found at‘fast in Mrs. Waldo's room. “And Mrs. Waldo almost caught you, you say ? How were you dressed ?" Sir Richard was amazed at this discovery. It was quite clear that Fanchctto had wilfully brought. a false accusation against Josephine. But. with what. object ?

The kidneys and liver, as well as the lungs are very easily affected by sudden changes of temperature, and the results are often suddenly fatal. It is a common experience with farmers, teamsters, railroad men and laborers to have a cold settle on the kidneys and throw these organs, as well as the whole digestive system, out of order.
