"I had in ternal trouble very badly untU it resulted in ulcers of the uterus. I was troubled with it so that I did not sleep night for seven long weeks. The doctors saia I could not be cured, but I com menced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Pleasant Pellets.' After taking two bottles I could sleep all night, and after taking six bottles of Favorite Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery'and threevials-of .'Pleasant Pellets' my case was cured. 1 bad told my husband that I would have to die, as it seemed I could not live.

CHAPTER VIII.—In Paris Fairfax en lists cooperation of Legloesew the famous French detective, through whose aid he discovers whereabouts of Hayle. Much-to the surprise of Fairfax H&yle presents himself. CHAPTER .IX—Hayle offers to compro mise with Kitwater and Codd for £25000 apiece, then invites detective to dinner, after which he suggests the theater. They enter cab and Fairfax soon discovers he has been tricked and Is a prisoner. When I reached my own apartments the concierge was much relieved to see me. She had been told that I was dead, perhaps murdered, and Le glosse's visit to find me had not helped to reassure her. A packet of letters and telegrams were handed to me, which I oarried up to my room to read them while I was changing my attire. Never before had I been so glad to get out of a dress suit. I had just finished my toilette and was in the act of commencing the pack ing of the bag I Intended taking with me, when there was a tap at the door. I opened it, to find the concierge there. "There is a lady in the parlor to see" monsieur," she said. "Bhe has a maid with her." "A lady to see me?" I.asked, in credulously. "Who on earth can she be?" br The concierge shook her head. In my own mind I had arrived at the con clusion that it was Mile. Beaumarais, and that Hayle had sent her to dis cover, if possible, whether I had es caped from my confinement or not. On finding out that I had, she would telegraph to him, and once more he would be placed on his guard. At first I felt almost inclined not to see her, but on second thought I saw the folly of this proceeding. I accordingly en tered the room where the lady was awaiting me. The light was not very good, but it was sufficient for me to see two figures standing by the Win dow. "To whom am I indebted for the honor of this visit, mademois'elles?" I began. "Don't you know me, Mr. Fairfax?" the taller of them answered. "You forget your friends very quickly.' "Miss Kitwater I cried, "what does this jnean?" "It is a long story," she answered, "but I feel sure that you will have time to hear it now. I am in terrible trouble." "I am indeed sorry to hear that," I answered, and then glanced at her maid as if to inquire whether it were safe to speak before her. She inter preted the look correctly and nodded her head. "Yes, Mr. Fairfax," she 6aid, "you can say what you please before Nelly." "Then am 1 right in interpreting your trouble as being connected with your uncle?" I asked. "Yes, that is it," she answered. "You have guessed correctly. Do you know that he and Mr. Codd have dTfiap peared?" "Disappeared?" I repeated. "Have you any idea where they have disap peared to?" "No, but I can hazard a very shrewd guess," she replied. "I believe they have crossed to Paris in search of Mr. Hayle. Since last Sunday my uncle has been more depressed than •rer, while the paroxysms of rage, to which he is so subject, have been even more frequent than ever. If the truth must be told, I fear his troubles have turned his brain, for he talks to hlm •elf in such a queer way, and asks every few minutes if I have received news from you, so that I cannot hel£ thinking his mind nofwhal should be. You must linngxstumi mat on I Saturday last, thinking it might pos sibly be required for the case, Ml drew a large sum of money from the bank more than £100, in fact. I securely locked it up in my writing table, and thought no one knew anything about it. Yesterday my uncle and Mr. Codd went for a walk, and did not return* though I watched for (hem several hours. While I was thus waiting l| opened the drawer in the writing table to procure something I wanted, and discovered that the money was missing. Only ono construction could be placed upon it, Mr. Fairfax. They had wearied of their inactive life, and had set off in search of Hayle." "They are aware of his address in Paris, are they-not?" "Yes, my uncle repeafed it from morning until night," she answered. "In point of fact he did little else. Oh! it is terrifying me beyond meas ure to think what may happen should they meet." "You need not fear that," I replied. "Hayle has tired of Paris and has Doited again. Very probably to a place where they cannot hope to find him." I believe she said "Clod be thanked"1* under her'breath, but I am not quite certain upon that point. I.did not tell her of the trick Hayle had so lately played upon myself. If the telling were necessary it would be able to come later on. "May I ask what brought you to Paris, Miss Kitwater?" I inquired, aft er a pause. 'My great fear," she answered. "I wired to you from Charing Cross to say that I was coming. Did you not receive my message?" I remember the fact that., not having time to open them all before I was called away, I had put some of the telegrams on one side. As ill luck would have it Miss Kitwater's must have been amongst these. I explained that I had been away from the house all day, and only that moment re turned. "I felt," she said, ignoring my ex cuses, "that I must come to you and tell you all that has transpired. Also that I might implore you to keep the men apart at any cost." "We can easily find out whether they have arrived in Paris, and also whether they have been to Hayle's apartments," I said. "That would certainly be one of the places whicb they would try first." While I was. speaking there was the sound of a step in the corridor outside, and the next moment Leglosse entered the room. He was in the highest spir its, as he always was when he was about to undertake a new piece of work. Seeing that I had visitors he came to a sudden standstill. "A thousand pardons," he said in French. "I had no idea that you were engaged. I will wait outside." "Don't do anything of the kind," I returned in the same language. "Come TEAM i\r: ,1-V "WE'VE BEEN DONE AGAIN," I CRIED. BRINGING MY FIST DOWN WITH A THUMP UPON THE TABLE in, and let me introduce you to Miss Kitwater, who has just arrived from England." "Miss Kitwater?" lie repeated, in some surprise. "Surely I understood you to say that your client, the gen tleman who Kad lost his sight through Hayle's treachery, was M. Kitwater?" "That is quite right, and this lady is his niece," I returned. "She has brought me extraordinary intelli gence. Her uncle and his companion have suddenly disappeared from the little village of Surrey, where they have been staying some time with her. It is her belief that they have come to Paris in search of Hayle. There would have l)een trouble had they met, but, fortunately for them, and for Hayle, he has given them the slip once more. It would be possible for you to find out whether they arrived by the morning train, and also wheth er they have made inquiries at Hayle's apartments, would it not?" "Quite possible," he answered. "It shall be done at once. I will let you know in less than an hour what I have discovered." I thanked him, whereupon he bowed to Milts Kitwater, and then disap peared. "M. Leglosse. is also in pursuit of Hayle," I explained. "He holds a war rant for his arrest on a charge of embezzlement in Cochin China. For that reason we are following him to Naples to-morrow morning." "To Naples. Has the wretched man gone there?" "So we have been led to believe," I answered. "Then do you think my uncle will find it out and follow him?" she asked, wringing her hands. "Oh it is all too terrible. What shall I do?" "Well, if I might be allowed to b$ like David Copperfield's Mr. Sick, I should be practical, and say, 'dine.' I suppose you have had nothing to eat since you left England?" She gave a little wan smile. "We have not had very much, cer tainly," she answered. "Poor Nelly, you must be nearly starving." The maid, however, protested that she was not but was not to be de nied. Bidding them remain where they were, I went downstairs and inter viewed my faithful friend, the con cierge. With her I arranged that Miss Kitwater and her maid should be pro vided with rooms in the house for that night, and having done so went on to the nearest restaurant. In something less than ten minutes all was settled, and in under 20 they were seated at their meal. At first the girl would not sit down with her mistress, but, with her tiiutl tlnnifktfuUmf) Miff Xtt* water ordereo ner xo ao bo. "And now, Mr. Fairfax," she said, when she had finished, "we must dis cover the hotel where we can stay the night. At present We know of no place in which to lay our heads." "You need not trouble about that," I said, "I have already arranged that you shay have rooms in this house if you care to occupy them. The old lady to whom it belongs is a particular friend of mine, and will certainly do her best to make you comfortable. I presume that it was your bag I saw in the concierge's office, when I was there Just now?" 'We left it there," she answered, and then gave me my reward by add ing: "It is very kind of you, Mr. Fair fax, to have taken so much trouble. I cannot thank you sufficiently." "You must not thank me at all," I replied. -"In helping you I am only doing my duty to my client." I had scarcely said the words before regretted them. It was a foolish speech, and a churlish one as well. She pretended not to notice it, however, but bade her maid go down to the concierge's office, and take the bag to the room that had been allotted to her. The girl disappeared, and when she had gone Miss Kitwater turned to me. "Mr. Fairfax," she said, "I have an other favor to ask you. I assure you it concerns me vitally. I want to know if you will let me go with you to Naples. In order that I might not be in your way, we might travel in dif ferent compartments but go I must. I am so frightened about my uncle.

If he were to kill me for preventing them, I would not let them meet. Believe me when I say that I am terribly anxious about him. Besides—" Here she paused for a moment, as if she did not quite know how to con tinue what she had to say to me. "As I have said, you and M.—I mean the French gentleman—could travel In your own way. All that I want to be assured of is that I may be in Naples and at hand should any thing happen." "If y&u really wish it, I do not see why you should not go?" I replied med itatively. "But if you desire my can did opinion, I must say that I think you would be far better off at home. Still, if you desire to come, it's not for me to gainsay your wishes. We will arrange therefore that, unless you decide to the contrary in the mean time, you accompany us by the 8:50 train to-morrow morning." "I thank you," she said. A few moments later Leglosse re turned with the information that it was as we suspected. Kitwater and Codd had arrived in Paris that morn ing, and had visited Hayle's lodgings only to find him gone. "What is more important still," he continued, "they have managed to learn that Hayle had gone to Naples, and they will probably leave by the 2:50 train to-morrow morning for that city. It is as well, perhaps, that we arrange to travel by the next." "Courage, courage, Miss Kitwater," I said, seeing that she was trembling. "Try not to be frightened. There is nothing to fear." Then turning to Leglosse. I added: "Miss Kitwater has Vf tain** 44 r* 'SO TAGS. 60 TAGS. so net ffAZO* STttOP. eAri «Wi fiUMt*POUCH.

AS a matter of fact, my position in the case has undergone a change since I last saw you?' He looked from one to the Other of us as if in astonishment. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Hitherto," I replied, "I have been acting against Hayle, with the inten tion of seauring him, in order that my clients might have a most important meeting with him. For the future, however, my endeavors will be used in the contrary direction. They must never meet!" "Then the best way to bring about what you desire is to assist me," re turned Leglosse. "Let me once get my hands upon him in the name of France, and they will never meet." "But we have to catch him before we do that," I said. "Never fear, we will do it," he an swered, confidently, and thaf"seemed to settle it.
