Denis O'Halloran clasped his ong hoiseman's cloak about him. He was a man below the middle height ind of a spare and active figure. His jxpression was resolute and his eyes af a merry audacity. He rode swiftly through the village street, easing his mount as he met the shoulder of the hill It was an age when the wajfarqr had still to rely upon his own weapon for safety, and he knew that after nightfall such waste places must have their perils. He reached the crown of the hill and pushed forward at a livelier gait. For man Denis OHalloran had little fear. He had already acquired some reputation In campaigns under an alien flag. But it was a superstitious age and he came of a superstitious people. Therefore, when pushing warily forward he rounded the spur of the hill into the full light of the moon, the spectacle which met his gaze shook his heart into his mouth and his hand to the pistol In his holster. On a little plateau some 50 paces from the road and circled by a rising slope, stood a gallows whereon hung the body of a man. The sight was familiar; by such means were the But highways rightfully protected. the corpse did not swing unattended. A few paces from the foot of the gibbet were two figures, the one erect, wrapped in a trailing cloak, the other crouching to some labor. The crouching figure moved; the light gleamed on a pick as It rose, and the clicking sound came again to his ears. It was digging a grave painfull and slowly. Presently it stopped, dropping the tool, and as it did so the other struck it so that it raised a loud wail of pain. A womans voice, thought the traveler, and his blood stirred within him. With an oath he set spurs to his horse and galloped headlong toward them. The man never moved from where he stood, but the woman ran toward him, crying, with outstretched arms. The traveler was out of the saddle in a flash and slipped an arm about her, for she seemed near to falling. Save me, she said, for the love of heaven." Faith, madam, an I will be blithe to do so, said Mr. OHalloran. He looked down at her with satisfaction. She was indeed a fine woman, though not in her fiist youth. The man advanced from beneath he shadow of the corpse, dropping lis cloak as he did so. The moon showed him tall and lean, with a long face and a stern and melancholy He carried himself with an air of dignity. Plainly he was of gentle breeding. It would be well, sir, if you do not interfere in that which nowise concerns you, he said sternly. By the blessed saints, but did ye ever hear the like! cried Mr. OHalloran.

MISS JULIA MARLOWE. I am glad to write my endorse ment of the great remedy, Peruna. I do so most heartily." Julia Marlowe. Any remedy that benefits digestion strengthens the nerves. The nerve centers require nutrition. If the digestion is impaired, the nerve centers become anemic, and nervous debility Is the result Peruna Is not a nervine nor e stimulant. It benefits the nerves by benefiting digestion. Peruna frees the stomach of catarrhal congestions and normal digestion is the result. In other words, Peruna goes to the bottom of the whole difficulty, when the disagreeable symptoms disappear. Mrs. J. C. Jamison, Wallace, Cal., writes: I was troubled with my stomach for six years. Was treated by three doctors. They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. I improved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got bad again. I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it. I have taken several bottles and am entirely cured. iilllBT yon suffer from Fits, Falling Blckneag or bpasms, or have Children that ao to, my New Olaoovary and Treatman? will give them Immediate relief, and all yon are baked to do it to tend lor a Free Bottle ol Dr. Mays If EPILEPT1CIDE CURE OomplloswlthFood and Drags Act of Congress Jane 30th 19WL Complete dirort.ons. also testimonials of CDK1 S, etc , I hi E by mail hxvrt& trcpaut.

The young man who was endeavoring to win the favor of Bobby's pretty sister met the boy on the street one morning, and greeted him with much cordiality. "Er do you think your sister was pleased to know I had called the other day? he was at last forced to ask, bluntly, after several efforts to guide Bobby's conversation in that direction.

Youths Companion. I do not desire to brawl with you, my good fellow. Let it suffice you that I have an explanation for what I am about. An explanation, have ye? cried Mr. OHalloran in vast indignation. Then let me tell ye that amongst Irish gentlemen the striking iv a lady admits no explanation. Sor, ye lack gentility. If I had the time I would tache ye manners with a cane. What are you? said the tall man. Jacobite fugitive, cutthroat, or an Irish bogtrotter on a Journey?

Does that content ye? said the I am at your service, other. murmured May heaven aid you, the lady. Mr. OHalloran slipped off his cloak, drew his sword and stepped forward with a lean activity. The tall .man was no match for O'Halloran and before long a prick in the shoulder made him drop his sword writh an oath. the screamed Again, again! woman. Mr. O'Halloran paid her no attention, but stepped back, lowering his point. Madam, said he, I have found this gentleman a very brave and fighter. To be thruthful with ye, I would know more iv this business. "Then I will bid you good night, I can find my she said coldly. Bir, wray to the coach.

So he perforce must watch this Jade come flaunting into his home, knowing full well with what hatred she regarded him and what little hope of Joy in life under his fathers roof remained to him.
