"These are the papers, Nalda. I
opened the envelope as directed, and
found deeds to certain properties, including
the mine in the Black Range;
a will, duly signed and attested, naming
you as hls'sole heir, together with
a carefully prepared letter, addressed
to you, giving a full account of the
crime of which he was convicted, as
well as some other matters of a personal
nature. That letter you must
read alone as his last message, but
the truth of all he says has since been
proved."
She glanced up at him quickly. "By
Murphy?"
"Yes. by Murphy, who is now lying
in the hospital at Bethune, slowly recovering.
His sworn deposition has
been forwarded to the department at
Washington, and will undoubtedly result
in the honorable replacing of
your father's name on the army list
I will tell you briefly the man's confession,
together with the few additional
facts necessary to make it
clear.
"Your father and mine were for
many years friends and army comrades.
They saw service together during
the great war, and afterward upon
the plains in Indian campaigning. Unfortunatetly
a slight misunderstanding
arose between them. One night
they openly quarreled when heated
by wine, and exchanged blows. The
following evening your father chancing
to be officer of the guard and on
duty, my father, whose wife had then
been dead a year, was thoughtless
enough to accompany Mrs. Nolan
home at a late hour from a post ball.
It was merely an act of ordinary courtesy;
but gossips magnified the tale,

trom the former quarrel, In which I
fear my father was in the wrong, he
left the guard house with the openly
avowed intention of seeking Immediate
satisfaction. In the meanwhile
Slavln, Murphy, and a trooper named
JTynn, who had beep to town without
passes^ half-drunk, stole
tfifSugh the guard lines and decided,
to Halle a midnight raid on the colonel's
private office, Dogging alohg
behind the powder house," they ran
suddenly upon my father, then on the
way to his own quarters. Whether
they were recognized by him,'"Br"
whether drink made t&em reckless of
consequences, Is unknown, hut one of
the men instantly fired. Then th&y
ran, and 8ttS???aei1 ,n saining 115 ear

few moments previous, the revolver
lying beside the body, having two
chambers, discharged, and his being
found there alone with the man he had

both strengthened the case by positive
testimony. As a result, a courtmartial'dismissed
the prisoner in disgrace

sentenced him to ten years' Imprisonment"

"Naida," he whispered at last, "this
may not be the time for me to speak
such words, but you are all alone
now. Will you go back to Bethune
with me?back to the old regiipent
as my wife?"
A moment she bowed her head before
him; then lifted it and held out
her hands. "I will."
"Say to me again what you once
said."
"Donald, I love you."
Gently he drew her down to him,
and their lips met
"I wish you to be very happy, Nsida,

by Dr. Victor Theodore Junod.one;
ot the most celebrated physicians!
of France, and has been In wide
and successful use In foe hospitals
of France and Germany. It is
used extensively In the hospitals
of the University of Bonn, which
Is perhaps the foremost medical
insiiiuiion in borope. ur. acnmoiaen,
of that hospital, who came all
the way to Washington to attend
the American Medical Congress,
said In a paper read by him before
that congress that this treatment
had .an used In tuberculosis of
the Joints, and had given relief
where even amputation had failed
to do so.
IT WILL CURE YOU.
For thirty years I have practiced
this method of cure with unvarying
success. I have references
from many people of prominence
who have been cured by the treatment.
Whatever your ailment
write - me, and I will advise you
promptly whether it will fit your
case or not.
BOARDING ARRANGEMENTS.
Pending the establishment of a
sanitarium I have . arrangements
whereby patients can beard at reasonable
rates while taking this
treatment My charges are most
reasonable, and I guarantee satisfaction
if my mtice da, followed.
IT BEARS INVESTIGATION.
The work I have been doing bears
the closest scrutiny. I invite correspondence,
and will give prospective
patlsats every opportunity to
Investigate the treatment and my
success in its application. Hundreds
of people who had exhausted
every'other means known to medical
science for the restoration of
health have found a cure in this
method.

I make a specialty of treating
these diseases that have failed to

care. I particularly Invite correspondence
with reference to these
cases.
I WANT A GOOr. Pn YS'll AN.
