Many, not only of the people, but phys icians of 'every school and practice; aredaily asking.rne "Whatis,the principle.or cause of your success in the treatment of,.Pulmo nary Consumption?" My-answer is this : The invigoration of the digestive organs —the strengthening of the debilitated system —the purification and enrieiament of the blood, must expel from the system the cor ruption which scrofula breeds: Whil e this is effected by the powerful alterative'chang . ing from disease to health) properties of the Tar Cordial, its healing and renovating principle is also acting upon the irritated surfaces of the longs and throat, penetra ting to each diseased part, relieving . pain, subduing indamation ' , and restoring a healthful tendency. Let this two-fold pow er, the healing and the strengthening, con.. finite • to;act conjunction with Nature's' consOant recuperative tendency. and the patient is saved, if he has not too long de layed a resort, to the Means of cure.

CHAPTER XII.--(cox.rnmED) So Sail led the way up the grand stair case, and along a corridor with twelve tall windinvi; and frene,"viitliraTecling of dread at her heart, followed him. it was as:the little bit of lighted candle that Saul carried flashed front window to win dow of this long corridor, that it wasseen by'llenry•llandyiland Myra during their conference. " . . Then the boy. passed ,through a tall doorway.into a spacious room, the ceiling of which was so high, and so enveloped in gloom, that the , faint frays from the little candle failed to reach it. "Is this the roinit, Saul ?" "It leads out of this, Miss." Saul paused at one portion of the wall, and moved his light slowly up and down and then he looked confused., "It was hero, for I was hiding close I by the door; and watched him. ' I 'saw, Miss. this long piece of looking glass, and this little old gilt table, and I can't be Mistaken. There Was a itooi here, and in he wont, but I can't see it now." Nothing . in the shape or appearance of a door preseated'itbel£On'orabout the wall, and Saul looked very blank until Irene ' .'41.. is perhaps, a concealed door.""' • ' she spoke she rapped on the pan. nellingsfwith her knuckles, and the sound was evidently hollow. "That's it, Miss," said Saul, "that's it." "What have you found, Saul ?" - In the moulding by the side of one of the panels there were two oblique cracks, which were too exact to be mere accident, and 'after: a few efforts Saul succeeded in pushing` it aside; as it; ttiriieettpotte. een tre,..anduit. once behind: it, a small: key holelresented.itself,- ,0 • - "That'l the door, ",But the . key ?"

"So," he said, "well met!"

She .was a prix= oner—La pr.soner in Mount Hope, and in the power of her worst enemy.

San' "stobd a pace or two from her, with his open•knifeln his' hand; the only weap on he had for defence. - , . "Blustering evening," said Henry.— No answer came from either. "fay I ask what business Miss Irene ha's 'here, and with such a companion ?" Still they did not speak. "What! both tongue-tied. We must find some means of forang an explana tion: Saul !" "Well, Mr. Henry," said Saul, with as much courage as he could assume. "Pray, step this way !" "No, Sir." "Pray, step this way r "No, Sir." flenry Handy had stepped out from the - mysterious secret door way into the room;:andwhen'Sgal gaid i‘tNo sir.,tt 3 for the second time,:44 nil<ile but. one spring upon the boy,. like. a tiger and closed with him. "Help l hely! No, I Won't. Mercy." "The stru g gle was hrief, if not quite bloodless, for Saul bad wounded -his ene my'with the pen knife , . A sickening faintness had, come over Irene, and when she recovered:from, it, she was alone, with Henry Handy, who, at the conclusion of the struggle with Saul,' had flung him through the panelled door and dashed it shut upon hitn.•• • "Now,Miss Irebe;" he,said, "perhaps youo will explain why,yotuare here ?" answezed,,lren , 4 • • re :4 - e fileliuttiriger even herself: ' ' ' • "I will, Henry Handy, I will. I come to Seek for' evidence which will prove the innocence of Charles, while proving the guilt of the real criminal." "You mean me ?" • "Meaning you." "You are a bold girl. You have power, intellect.and ,passiou, so I will be candid with you. We are alone." A cold chillstruck to the heart of Irene at these words. He saw the effects of them, and, he took a .malignant pleasure in repeating them. 'We ore alone. There• is- no 'help near you, and yet ,I. will place within your own-power the means of safety—ee cape for'yourself and Charles, too, if you will. But listen to me. Do you remem ber sometime since, when Itold you that I loved you ?" A feelit , of terrible despair came over Irene at these word, for there was a look abbot Henry Handy that was once so triumphant and diabolical that she turn ed her eyes away with a shudder, while a prayer escaped,ber lips. "I love you , still, he added. "The passion which was quenched for a time by your coldneS?i, lias revived. Be mine, and Charles shall be saved, for I shall so manage-it.- that. suspicion shall. lest , on some other. -person. You shall be the greatest lady in the country; but Charles must leave the country. Wbat say you?" "Never 1" "Perverse girl. ji Yon are too bold." "No, no, a thousand times no. heaven will protect me.

' ' • • She flew distractedly 'around the apart ment, with the hope of yet finding some outlet ..by.which sho might escape, but there was none. - Henry Handy alloWed her to exhaust herself in this' fruitless manner, and' then he laughed loudly and discordantly. • "Why, new'," ho cried, "I love you better and better; a fit brideyou are, to match with me. It is in vain th•ition struggle against your destiny. • This house is a trap ,in whichyon have fallen, and once here you are mine and. mine only. , "N0, , n0, not yet---oh;notyit." , Irene, with the suggestion of despair, flew to one of the dust begrimed Windows, and snatching from a table, close at hand, a book, on which the dust lay so heavily, that when she moved it, it fell off in a flossy mass, she dashed it against one of the panes of the tall glass and shivered it to atoms. It was but a slight, effort fpr her then, before Henry Handy could reach her, to step through the narrow opening, h avingi but one band for a sup port from falling, while she 'eee.tired . her footing on a kind of terraeedbaleony , that was immediately without the window..' "Help I help I helpl .111urditile cried, and her voice echoed notie,the eight - air, for, to her snriirise,'she i found she Wes not beneath the open sky, but tis, i'Cotiieliatory of great 9124* tended 'along thelvhole side of that part of the house. It took but a glance for Irene to see that the was 'in this conservatory, and then before her enemy could reach the window, to which he made a rush, she fled slow, its length to liar left hand. Irene heard his Todtsteps in pursuit of her, Mad With cries for help and prayers to heaven, she still fled swiftly. The dust was about her in cloudy masses, but she heeded it not. Long trailing spider webs clung about her face and eyes, but still she and still she heard his voice and his footsteps in pursuit. The • conservatory ended. A window was to her left..hand. .She closePher eyes ,and dashed through one of its tall panes of glass, and fell some two feet in depth ,into a room. She did not pause fora moment, but springing up she rush ed onwards. A door was open—a corri dor—ra stair case. She heard the hoarse shout of Henry Handy, and she, had just time to rush behind .a statue in a niche, and try thereto hide herself. By acci dent her trembling hands touched some secret , spring, and a tall, narrow door opened in the wall behind her. "Saved ! saved 1" she gasped,,as she passed through the Opening, aiid:the dobr closed with a sharp sound, at the Moment that Henry reached the spot. CHAPTER XIII When Saul was thrust through the concealed door in the wall of the stately room where he and Irene had encounter ed Henry Handy, he was so stunned and stupid that for a few moments he lay al most insensible. No doubt, Henry con cluded he was completely so, or that, at all events, ha was securely shut up until he choose to come back to him at his leasure, and dispose of him as he should see fit. , , • But Saul lad an indomitable spirit that prompted him to do what was possible for his own safety, as well'as for .Irene, and he was awn odhis-feet again, al- I though he felt a little confused. A glance about him let him see that the place he was in was a narrow passage. at the further end of which, Was a half opened door, through which a faintlight was showing. Saul walked at once along this passage, and passing through the doorway, ,he found. himself in a : _yery small room,'on. a table was a lamp, giving forth .but ,a feeble light, ynt sufficient, in- Ana ;ol3' , • •••-, e of - he 'applt n es o ,-a .ressingro.m this place, but what struck:. Saul ;more than anything else was, that he saw hang ing over, the back of kaiak,. the various articles which he had so Often, heard 'de scribed' as -forming the apparel of the mysterious - highwayman. There were the scailet'cOat—which had been so often alluded to—,--the ruffles, the lace cravat, and. the hat and feather. The horseman's booti, too, were on the floor,—in. fact, it was evident- - that there was an entire eqUipment similar to what had been pro duced as evidence against Irene's lover. It was.plain, then, Henry had the two suits to suit his occasion—one Fith.which to convict 'Charles, and another for his own use. On the table, too; and before what had. once , been a very elegant looking glass with agilt frame, were various bottles, containing essences and cosmetici,no doubt useful in the making up of Henry's bpi; teflon of Charles, in his nocturnal expe dition ; but what interested Saul most of all, ;was a mass of something lying on the table, just before the glass, which looked like human hair, as doubtless it was, for upon lifting it, Saul found - it was a wig exactly the color of the hair of Charles, and which, no doubt, had been worn by Henry when he permitted the wounded farmer to gaze upon him, and had in duded in his mind that Charles was his murderer. "That's-it,!" said' Saul. saw him once with that on."- The boy wrapped up the wig and put it in his pocket carefully, and then he went back to the concealed door,through which he had been thrust by Henry, and listened. He heard the cries of Irene, and loud imprecations from Henry, and a cold" feeling was at Saul's heart, and he beat with his hands against the door, which was firm as a rock, and in connex ion with which be could find no. handle or fastening. , . Bat no one heeded hini, and he lieard the screams of Irene, and the - deep angry tones of 'Henry . Handy both died away, and - all - was:still. • -- • * ' Then. theboy.theughtltlit Henry sure ly meant to kill the dear, gentle girl, af ter-which ho would come back and kill him, and, then, he wept bitterly. • It was not for manymoments. however, that Saul gave way to his feelings, for his mind was one of action, and he looked ;wound him to see how he could save him self. Even as ho did so, he fancied he could - hear the footsteps of Henry • ap proarehing him, but that was bUt a .deln mon of thie,faney. for the sound died away again.. Then Saul returned along the passage to the little dressing room, and he found, by walking completely around it, that 'it had no window, no tire-place, and; in fact., no mode of egress or ingress except_ by the one tall, narrow door at which he had come in. This was and Saul felt very much inclined to cry again ;. but he con trolled the impulse, and felt in his pocket mechanically for' his little , knife, but he had lost it, and wai l quite defenasless.7—.

That was something surely ! He might not be seen—he might slip by Henry when he should open the secret door. A poor chance that—but it spoke of hope.- tie felt certain he heard the sound of footsteps. There could be no one—no deceit of fancy this 'time. He stood tremblingly, close to the entrance into the large drawing rooms, and he placed his ear against. ; the wall, and heard a mur muring It was Henry's:Come ! Saul felt cer tain of that,,and he felt '-en as if his last hour had come—something touched him, and he nearly screamed. He.felt in the direction from whence the touch had come and he, found, that a, cloth curtain, that he had barely noticed, hung upon the walls of the passage, probably to deaden sounds, had moved by-some accidental current of air, most likely produced by the entrance of Henry into, the drawing room. There might be something behind that curtain, some means of escape—some door—some window. No—nothina., but smooth woodwork met his touch, and he could not conceive why the thick curtain were hung there at all, but there it was, and he felt the dust falling on his head and face and half choking him as he moved it.. . Then he crossed the passag e, and felt on the other wall, and a simi lar curtain was there. And, now, with a sudden jar upon his nerves that made him shrink down to the floor in alarm, the door was opened from the drawing room, and Saul could just barely distinguish the figure of Henry Handy: "Ah, th 3 light is extinguished," 'said Henry. "It may be that boy's doings." With a sharp snap the door. was closed again on the instant, and Saul was in the darkness again. That darkness did not last long. It was evident that Hen. ry Handy - had the ready means of pro curing' a light, for a, thin pencil of bright ness came through some crack is the gloomy passage. "He is coming again," said Saul. No doubt he, was. 'Another moment might have been the - poor boy's last.— He-never knew what induced 'him to act as he did, but it was on the impulse of a moment that he, gathered in his hands, a good. grasp of one of the .cl6th -curtains and. climbed. up it.* - Ilia was a light weight, and-harai 'agiWaud-skillfuVia " • ' tfeet=t - in:d" Sart engt• e, t ' -so thing cold, and, he was oonimions of hav ing.holdof a stout Metal rod or pole;' - on which - the 'initain hung; it projedteVu foot•or'so fitim the wall.

Handy, waf in the, passage.— The light he carried, was weak - , and east but few beams about it. He found it necessary to shield it with- his hand, lest any current of air should extinguish it, and. so ho advanced two steps, and than paused. •. Fromhis elevated position, Saul could look dOwn upon' his ,fee. - He - saw the dark 'malignant features, he saw the scowl' ing broW, and the deep sot eyes, and as the light shonempon him he looked like a demon. Well - might the boy shudder at the possible consequences of being in the power of such a man: - But was he sav ed ? Would not the ingenuity of Hen. ry be sufficient to find him P The thought was fearful and the boy shook in every limb, so that a soft, glossy shower or fine dust came down and fell on and about Henry*Handy„ and if ho, Henry, had not at , that moment,;---still shading the light—passed .on, he must have surely noticed the rain of dust and fancied some special cause for, it, in which case, &Ea would hive been discovered. ' But Henry did pass' on. He had no doubt in the world bat whatsthe , hoy was to be found in the small dressing room. - "Speak, boy, that I may not lull you Unawares," said Henry, as he stood into the zoom. "Ah ! not here ? Impossi ble; Impossible!" • Siul felt, as - well as if he had seen him do so, that his foe turned slowly round, as he pronounced that last word "impos sible," and what wonder and anger, as well as some fright, must sit upon his features on missing him from the room. Then there was the sound of furni ture b3ing moved. Ile was making sure that the boy was nOt hid in some small oom pass, or behind some of the articles in the room. It could not take many mo ments to satisfy any one on that head, and then, -Henry Handy pansed,and in a low tone, that he intended should . sound soft-and. persuasive, but which resembled the subdued whine of a hyena, he 4410. "Soy, there is no harm intended you: Yon are,undor some strange delusion.-- Misslrene` and I have arranged every thing, and she desires• to "fire you, so •if you are hidden anywhere, come forth."
