stole around her child's form with caress that conveyed a mother's pardot and tuialterablo lovo. That tenderness melted away tho slight barrier of re servo that had stood in tho way of per fect confidence. "When I went to leave that note where John lives," Addie sobbed, "I understood from the servant who open ed tho door, and who speaks hardly any English, that ho had got home and was there at the time. . I thought it would be better for me to seo him, if only for a moment, so I ran up and knocked on his door, and and I found another girl there, a bold creature, who appear ed to bo at home. And I never want to seo his face again. "And is that all?" "All! Isn't that enough? That I should have been deceived by him so shamefully!" The revulsion of feeling so overcame the anxious mother that she hysterically laughed and sobbed at once, trembling like a wind tossed leaf. Addie, who did not at all understand her extraordinary excitement, was terrified, and cried: "Mamma! Mamma! What is the matter?" Sho dabbled the old woman's face with cologne, filled her mouth with wa ter, fanned her, and ere long had tho relief of e( eing tho violent symptoms pass off in n, fit of gentle weeping, and then in emilcs.

When John comes, we will welcome him and let him speak for himself, and something tells mo you will love him nono tho less for anything ho has done. " Addlo shook her head doubtfully. She would havo liked to believe in John, but sho could not banish from her men tal vision tho picturo of tho yellow headed girl in possession in John's room, and said to herself that his ex planation would havo to be a very good ono indeed to put him upon his former footing with her. CHAPTER XVIIL Chester Sewall started with affright at sight of tho white, haggard counte nance that looked out at him from the mirror when ho turned the gas up in his room. Even tho lips were bloodless and tho eyes dilated, as if by horror. Confronting that ghastly reflection, he raised his hand to throw back the hair that, matted with perspiration, clung to his brow. There was blood upon the palm. ( Ho staggered backward and Bat down, , faint, shuddering, cowering. Tho feel ing still haunted him that there was an invisible presence just behind his f'.iouI der, and, hurriedly shifting his chair so that ho could sit with his back squarely against' the wall, ho cast a fearsome glance about him. He was alone. The door "locked, the window shade drawn , down, tho gas burning brightly what folly to be so unmanned by a silly su perstition! Bahl Ho would think of it no more. That which was done was done and could not be undone. He had not in tended it, and, sincofate had so ordered Who doesn't know that horrid nightmare when the feet refuse to move, and you drag; yourself along by main force, with some s'ort of tenor chasing after you ? It is something the same way with the waking night mare of " biliousness." It seems to paralyze your en- ergies, weign you uown liiro lead and draor vou I back with an unshakeable Clutch. Vou can't sret away from the misery that pursues you. You feel dull and languid and low-spirited ; your appetite is poor, your stomach is out of order, your sleep is disturbed, you are Irritable and " cranky." There's no real lively enjoyment of life. What you need is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to tone up your liver and help it in working the impurities out of your blood. The liver has a large share of this purifying work to do and sometimes it gets over-loaded so the 'impurities back up on to the other organs of the body : the kidneys or skin or lungs, and take root, then it's a harder matter to clear them out. Wherever they settle they are all blood diseases just the same, and the ' "Discovery," will cure any blood disease that was ever named, scrofula, eczema, ca tarrh, ulcers, swellings, severe coughs and even consumption. But the cure is a hard er job when the trouble has gone as far as that The right way is to go at these im purities before they take root, while they are still floating in the blood and over-loading the liver. Drive them out early. You can do it surely every time, with the " Golden Medical Discovery." vlser is the greatest family doctor book ever pUDUSIieu. 11 explains iiw man nhvsiology and the laws of life and health in plain yet scientific language.

Y. it, let fate assume tne responsibility. Tho practical thing for him to do now would be to destroy the evidences of his involuntary crime. He dragged from his pocket the handkerchief with which he had wiped wha i blood he could from his fingers and thrust it- among the glowing coals in John's stove. . The overcoat pocket in which he had con cealed that ensanguined hand was stain ed with blood. Ho cut it out and burn ed it also. Then ho very carefully wash ed his hands and poured the reddened water slowly among the ashes in the bottom of the stove. Not until now did he observe on his table letter that had arrived during E!3' absence. It was from John Latham, written at St Louis and dated three days before. In it the writer said : I have Just returned this fur from Tennessee and snatch a moment to Bend you an impor tant pointer. If Wall street has dealt kindly with you In my absence, bo that you have means to operate with, I would advise you to go your length on Memphis and Southwestern. It is an apparently dead stock now, but a cer tain authoritative report, that I shall have to make when I get back, will send It up like a rocket. I am violating implied requirements of secrecy perhaps in telling you tbis, so you will keep it strictly to yourself under all cir cumstances. I nm anxious to help you, but must not be known as doing bo. Do not neglect to take advantage of the chance, for it Is a sure thing. What a bitter mockery it was, Ches ter thought, that such an opportunity should havo como to him only after ho had been utterly bankrupted in pocket, hope and soul! How different would bo his position now had tho happy accident of such information come to him when ho first plunged into stock speculations, when ho had $5,000 to invest It would havo mado'him a rich, honored and hap py man today instead of a beggar, a th:Vf, a murderer. , His self recognition as a thief brought lv.ck to him remembranco of tho wallet he had abstracted from tho dead man's breast, of which ho had not thought sinco taking it until now. Ho plucked it from his pocket and opened it. Tho contents almost took his breath away with surprise. They were only five bank bills, but four of them were of tho de nomination of $500 each and tho fifth "ta of ftl-oOO. Why, with this sum, ho thought cx citedly, and tho "pointer" ho had just received ho could avengo himself upon Wall street and mako a fortune at a single dash. Then ho would marry Irma. She nor no ono else need ever know ho had accidentally killed her father. Thrco thousand dollars? No, it was tho seed of millions that relenting fortuno had thrust into his hands. His transports ceased suddenly and he sat pale, trembling, as if a specter had risen before him. Could ho dare to use that money? Prudent men, ho was well aware, made -a habit of recording tho numbers of largo bills passing through their hands, and if Banker Willmarth did so as was to bo expected of a man so methodical in his habits this money might bn a fatal trap. His confidential clerk might be ablo to give tho numbers of those fivo bills to tho police, and tho person who should attempt to pass one of them would bo seized, convicted, hanged for murder! By the way, was that tho only danger to bo feared? What if tho banker should not havo been quite dead if help had come to save him if ho should even now bo so far recovered as to bo directing tho police? But no. That could not bo. Tho old fellow's head struck the jagged rock with such forco as must have split his skull and killed him outright. Oh, yes, ho must bo thoroughly dead, thank God! ' Notwithstanding his perturbation and mental distress the thought flashed up on him : "What an anomaly! Thanking God that a murder has been successfully per petrated. Well, why not? We thank God for tho good wo receive regardless if our good has been tho harm of some other person and surely tho getting of that money is a great good to me. At least it would bo if I could be assured that the numbers on those bills would not denounco mo. " , That brought him back to tho starting point in his hideous circle of necessity. His torture was that of Tantalus. For tune, all ho had ever dreamed of and more, smiled alluringly at him, and ho did not daro to tako tho first step to ward possessing her. Starvation threat- He had the three leading morning Jour nals. ened him, for ho literally had not a penny nothing but those monstrous bills and ho was fearfully hungry, hungrier, ho thought, than ever before in his life. If ho could only know what happened when tho the discovery was made. Perhaps tho morning papers would give somo hist about tho bills. Ho would havo to seo them beforo risking any thing. Through tho long hours until dawn ho sat up, not daring to go to bed, and pondered upon his situation. Tho fire in tho stovo burned out, tho room grew cold and tho chill made his senso of .physical discomfort almost as keen as his mental torturo. Nineteen hours had pas?cd sinco ho had tasted food, and his experiences in that time had so exhausted him that tho lack mado him weak and nervous. The fancy that something was behind him return ed.

Thedo rangement of the nerve centers of the bre in by over work, frequently brings on attacks of heart trouble, and nervous prostration. Rev. J. P. Kester, M. D., Pastor U.

Leaving his door open that tho hall might bo lighted up, he slipped down stairs, shuddering at each creaking step, clutched tho papers and returned swift ly to his room Ho had tho three lead ing morning journals, and taking them together could bo pretty suro of know ing all tho reporters had been ablo to find out. The accounts were meager, owing to tho lateness of the hour at which the body had been stumbled over by a po liocman. Death appeared to havo been caused by a frightful gash on tho back of tho man's head, produced evidently by his falling upon a jagged, sharp rock, but thero was no reason to sup pose his fall an accident. A great bruiso on tho face showed that ho had been knocked down, no doubt for the pur pose of robbery. His valuable watch and a considerable sum of money wero untouched in his pockets, but that fact simply went to show that tho assassin, after tearing his clothes open to plunder him, had been alarmed by something and had fled. All was as tho murderer could havo desired except that ono account closed with tho sentence : "Tho police havo a clew to tho assas sin, and believe they will be .fcblo to ar rest him today." Not happening to know tho utter Emptiness of that stereotyped phrase tho preliminary to characterizing tho crime "an inscrutablo mystery" when tho murderer was not caught in tho prescribed time Chester Sewall was horrified. Its meaning to him was tho realization of his worst fears. The largo bills had been misled and were expect ed to servo as the clew !

PAUL BNKS CLOSED. The Geriiiaula, Allemania and West Side Miend Payment. Bt. Paul, Jan. 6. The Germanla bank, a state Institution, capital (400,000, did not open for business Monday, but an nounced its assignment to Peter M. Kerst, who for the past year or two, has been the cashier of the bank. The announcement stated that this action was taken after full consideration of all phases of the situation, as it was deemed best for all concerned that this action be taken. The bank stood a run for nearly two weeks, its depositors be ginning to withdraw their accounts at the time the Bank of Illinois closed on Dec. 22. The Allemania bank, capital $100,000, and l.avlr? a clientage similar to that of t!".e (Jermania, closed Its doors also sorn after the other bank had an nounced its assignment. A few minutes before 2 o'clock the West Side bank, organized in 1886, with a capital of $100,000, closed its doors. The president, C. F. Staples, told the Associated Press representative that the bank cleared through the Alle mania, and had its clearings returned because of the closing of the bank. This was but one of the causes that lead to the closing of the West Side bank, which had suffered considerably from the general shaky condition of financial affairs. Public funds were on deposit in all three of the closed banks. The state had $10,546.05 in the Germanla; $35, 202.54 in the Allemania. and $3,646.63 In the West Side bank. The county treas urer had deposited $9,635.35 in the Ger manla; $26,215.35 in the Allemania, and $7,554.84 in the West Side bank. -City Treasurer Horst had on deposit city funds in the Germanla $49,793.82; in the Allemania, $151,455.50, and in the West Sido bank, $21,894.50.
