My attention, after suffering with Constipa

Liver Regulator, and, having tried almost every
thing else, concluded to try It. I first took a
winegUsslul and afterwards reduced the dose to a
teaspoonfiil, as per directions, after each meal, I
found that it had done me so much good that I
continued It until I took two bottles. Since then I

"1 suppose I ought I suppose 1 must
marry and settle down sometime. It Is
good of you, Diane, to remind me of for
cotten duties occasionally," said Kdmund
arharn, beginning the speech rather ser
iously, and ending in laughing jest.
Uiano Jcdford a handsome blonde.
haughty and statuesque felt tho hot blood
surging to her wontedly colorless cheeks at
that careless laugh.
She had expected a dillerent response to
the subtly tcnativo comment she had just
ventured with all tho dexterity and seeming
innocence, of which she was capable.
bho had hoped for something very decide
edly different from tho debonair and olio
Iblo young gentleman who had been so
pleasantly attentivo to her during the whole
season just gone by. And after all her
hopes and expectations, it was nuito too
proyoklng for him to allude to marriage
only as a probability of tho rcmoto future,
or as a possibility which he had never yet
scrlouslyi contemplated.
it lie cared for her. If he rcgaidetl her
with tho particular sentiment which she
had purposed to inspire In his heart, thon
certainly his response would have been loss
indifferent.
And Diane Jedford did not attempt to
conceal from herself that she loved him
with as much strength and passion as she
wns callable of feeling for any human irea-
lire. If he bad been poor and unknown,
she would undoubtedly have denied herself
the luxury of indulging In sentiment; but
he was not only the possessor of almost
fabul.uis wealth, but his social station was
also a ily superior to her's: and Id become
his wlfo would bo to a! tain the acme of her
w oi Idly ambition.
For a moment his laughing IntlliTeiencc
stunned her almost like a physical blow.
Hut It was only for tho moment, however:
In the next the handsome statuesque fea
tures were as colorless and haughty serene
ns befoie. She forced a tranquil smile to
tho palc-blno eyes, and the raillery upon
her well schooled lips was as careless as his
own. '
'1 am glad you like being reminded of
forgotten duties," she said in her silky,
well-trained lones as she adroitly diverted
the conversation to a less momentous topic;
"1 remember you promised, ages ago, that
you would perform some of my new music,
and there arc tho poor sheets yct,unopcned
and untouched, because I would not at
tempt tho difficult passages without hear
ing you ilrst."
It Was a subtle compliment, such as
Diane Jedford was skilled in framing, and
one which sent Sir. M'arhani very willingly
to the piano.
"Do you not Ilk songs of sentiment?"
Diane queried a few minutes later.
Ho had begun a simple ballad:
'Our bands were clasped, the sun nasslulkng
low,
.My oulyloemy love of lone ago 1
All, Tain the wishl The past wo may deploie;
We'll meet no more we'll meet In llfo no more."
Hut In the midst of the stanza his lino
tonor voice had ceased abruptly, and he
had suddenly tossed aside the music sheet.
"I like all sorts of songs, equally alike.
Hut I cannot sing that," ho answered, In
a voice so changed that It was totally un
like his own.
'Hut you sung It beautifully," said
Diane, seeming not to notlco tho different
meaning his reply convoyed; and turning to
tho near window, lest he might perceive
her dilating eyes and the sudden crimsou
for ho checks signs of the vaguo and
startled jealousy which his manner had
aroused.
Outside, a few largo early stars great,
throbbing globes of eyery gem-Uko hue
were glowing In tho brilllaut, moonless
sky. About tho pretty house, all the big,
bloomy garden was dark, dewy, and still.
There was a scent of lilacs In tho air; and
hero and there a bush of roses or clump of
lilacs showed their blossoms gleamly palely
through the gloom.
Hut Diane Medford saw neither (lowers
nor stars; the sweet odors of tho perfect
spring-time night were unheeded; she was
thinking of tho words of the song tho
simple words which had so strangely
moved tho man she loved.
"I can now understand his Indifference.
Tliore Is an ouly love, a lovo of long ago,'
who stiinds between his heart and mine,"
she thought bitterly.
As the thought flashed through her mind,
almost at the Instant she drew the silken
hangings back from tbe open window, sho
heard a girl singing softly somewhere
among tho roses and lilacs In the garden.
The voice was as low and welrcdly sweet
as the sound of an Kolian harp; so softly
did the notes float through the htuhed air
that one might fancy the sound to be hut
the falling of roso leaves, the whispering
of farles, or the breathing of some wander
ing spirit. And tho weird voice was sing
ing the last stanza of the Interesting ballad.
"Uke parted streams, which oceans will re
store, Though death unite, we'll meet In life no
more,"
As the last note ceased, Kdmund War-
ham arose with a start and hastily ap
proached the window, The light, shining
through the opalescent globes ot the treat
bronze chandelier, showed his face as white
as It would oyer bo beneath the collln-lld,
"Was It but a trick of the imagination,
Diane, or was thero really a voice singing?
somebody concluding tho ballad I began
a moment ago?" he asked unsteadily.
"Was It you, Dlnno? have you tho knack
of ventriloquism?"
"You only heard one of the servants, uhu
happened to bo In the garden, and who
was Impertinent enough to finish the nlr
for you. I am sony you should bo annoyed
fid I am sorry the llttlo song should hayo
unpleasant associations for you," sho an
swered In her silky accents of studied amia
bility.
Diane was looking her bust at the ino
ment. I ho opalescent light touched her
fair hair with gleams of gold, mellowed the
somewhat garish elegance of hor Hcrpetil
gray gown, and struck rosy lire fiom tho
blcod-rcd rubles about her statuesque
throat; tho emotions of jealously and anger
had lent color and sparkle to her wontedly
frigid features, and a singular brilliancy to
her palo blue eyes.
For a llttlo space of tliuo Edmund li ar
ham regarded her in attentivo silence.
She was moved at sight of his own agi
tation; her expression was gracious, and
seemed to assuro him of her sympathies,
whatever mystery he might chooso to tin
fold. And perhaps it would be only right
and kind to explain why a simple song had
imwur to uiaucii ins cheeks, why an un
known voico singing among the garden
shadows had power to mako his strong
frame tremble.
I ho song has associations which 1 do
do not care to recall," ho said slowly, mid
as If speech wcro difficult. "It is associat
ed with one who was dearer to mo than
life, and whom I trusted as 1 would hayo
trusted an auglo from heaven
"Hut she could not hayo betrayed the
trust of of one like you," Diane mur
mured in her best rehearsed accents of sub
tle (lattery.
"1 was spending a few months in a
country town wlioro sho was residing tem
porarily with a relative upon whom alio
was dependent, for the poor child was far
from being rich," he continued. "An ur
gent dispatch summoned me to a friend
who was overtaken with some serious
monetary dilllctilty In a distant part of the
state. I sent .v nolo to her, and started at
ouco. II hen 1 returned, a few weeks later,
sho was gone. It was understood that dur
ing my absence an old suitor a well-to-do
gentleman who was sincerely attatched to
her had appeared, that they had been
married, and had left immediately for his
homo lu tho west. Do you wonder that a
song sho loved, that a voice like hers, has
power to unman inc?"
"It is very sad," Diane answered.
"It is sadder still that 1 am powtiless to
tear her Imago fiom my heart, to banish
her fioui my memory. I.lvlnif or dead.
true or false, I am doomed to love Esmo
Vaughn until my latest breath,-1' tho young
man sighed.
At tho mention of his loved one's name,
t littlu cry broko shrilly from Dianu's Hps. j
It was Ksme Vaughn who had been slug
Ing among the shadows of the garden, tho
girl to whom Diane had alluded as a ser
vant, and who, during tho last year, had
been serving as companion to Dalne's in
valid mother.
During that year Diane had learned
something of tho love romanco in the
life of pale-faced, sad-cyed young com
panion.
Esmo never knew that her loter had been
summoned so Imperatively from her side;
ills littlu explanatory nolo had novel
reached her. As tho days went by and he
diil not return, she began to believe that he
bail been trilling, that his promises were
meaningless, that ho never meant to come
back to her. In her humiliation and de
spair sho had left her relative's house and
sought employment which might afford
her allko an Independence and occupation
to divert her mind from her bitter grief.
The story of her old suitor's appearance
had only been a bit of village gossip mag
nified Into some semblance of truth by her
precipitate departure.
All these pitiful details of the little ro
manco piescntcd themselves connectedly to
Diana's understanding; sho had already
gathered somcthlug from Ksme's half con
fidences, and Kdmund Warham had made
the remainder sufficiently plain.
'Perhaps sho may yet bo restored to
you," said DIauc, fooling that it was the
only possible thing to say, undet tho cir
cumstances. It cannot bo; 'we'll meet in life no
mote,' Diane," he returned gloomily as he
withdrew.
Hut ho did not luavo thu place when he
went slowly down tho steps of the pretty
house. Ha loitered In tho bloomy garden;
some inexplicable fascination lured him to
the spot where a yolcc, so like the voice of
his lost boloycd, had been singing among
the roses.
Jcauwhlle Diane Medford had turned to-
waiifher own room.
As sho nearcd tho staircase her atlcutluu
was attracted by a bright light streaming
beneath thu door of the llttlo study at tho
further end of tho hall.
"Esmo is there," she thought, with con
tracted brows and tightening Hps. "I havo
something to say to her which had belter
bo said at ouco; for leave tho houso and
neighborhood sho must, and this v?ry hour
If I havo my way In the matter,"
Sho opened tho door and stepped quickly
iuto the loom, her pale eyes flaming omin
ously, a spot on cither cheek glowing as
blood-red as thu rubies about her throat.
Tho low French windows wero open
wldo; the hcayy laco curtains wero sway
ing to and frow In tho evening wind; the
gas was flaring high, throwing weird lights
and shadows upou the occupant of the
room, who was lying silent and motionless
upon a corner sofa.
"Ksme, arc you sleeping?" Diane asked
impatiently.
There was no teply. Thu girl never
stirred; she lay as If lifeless, rather than
sleeping. Her hands wore clasped over
her bosom; her looscued, dark hair fell like
a cloud about her beautiful, whito face: the
cushion beneath her head was wet with
tears; she looked as If, like Nlobe. she had j
wept until the briny flood of grief had
turned her to stone.
"I could wish that might never wako
again." Diane thongbt fiercely, as sho
stood there watching the wejrd light flai
and flicker over the sleeping form.
With tho unholy wish, an awful tempt
lion assailed her.
There, within a little ebony cabinet,
within easy reach, glittered a crystal vial
holding a powerful drug which her Invalid
mother sometimes used to afford surceas
from pain.
Should tho unconscious sleeper Inhale
thoso potent fumes, thero would be no
awakening Irom that quiet slumber. Kd
mund Warhain's "iovo of long ago" would
no longer stand between his heart and
Diane's dearest ambitions.
In that awful moment, Diana Medford
was mad with fiercest jealousy and a ties'
peratlou of despairing pain.
Sho sttctched a hand lowatd thu ebony
casket; the next second she was bending
oyer thu sleeping girl; a subtle odor filled
tbe loom as tho drug dripped from tho un
corked vial, and a few smarting drops fell
upon Diane's shaking hands.
And then thero was a sudden blinding
glare of light; she felt her flesh scorching
as if a fiery blast had blown over her; sho
heard tho crackle of fire, and saw lurid ar
rows of flame shouting through her gar
ments.
Somehow, In that terrible moment, tho
dating gas caught among tho laco draperies
of Diane s gown, and sho was enveloped In
a man tie of consuming flames.
A wild shriek burst from her Hps as she
clutched In agony at tho mocking clement,
which hissed ns if in derision at her vain
olToris to rid herself of Its devouring em
brace.
1 lie awful shriek awolto Ksiue, who
spruug to her feet lu bewilderment; and iu
tho same Instant Kdmund H'arliani leaped
through the open window Into tho room
A moment later, tho two had succcodcd
In extinguishing tho flro, and Diane,
scotched and blackened figure, was lying
only half consoloos, upon the sofa whero
they had tondcrly placed her.
Her Injuries were seiiotts; but sho event
ually became quite her old self again. But
she never recalled that awful night without
a shudder. Specedlly punished as she had
been for her attempted wickedness, she
know also that Kdmund Warham had wit
nessed Lite deed of madness, and 'that
though ho had saved her from a terrible
tate, ho abhorred her.
Sho was not yet entirely recovered whon
ho was nulled In ma.riage to the beautiful
Ksme "his lovo of long ago."
"It was tho simple little song which
united us, my precious one," ho sajssomo-
times to liis swoct littlo wife. "Only for
the dear voice singing among the roses'
that night, wo might indeed, In life have
met no more."
TEACHINO BEARS TO DANCE.
The gypsies of Transylvania, according
to a wrltet In "Dlackwood", teach joiing
boars to dance by placing the animal on a
sheet of heated Iron, while the trainer
plays on his liddle a strongly acccnturalcd
nieco of dance music. The bear, lifting
up Its legs alternately to escape tho heat,
involuntarily obseives the tlmo marked by
11,0 vio""' Lalcr 0,1 11,0 Ilca,';', lro" ls
suppressed, when the animal has learned
Its lesson; and whenever the gypsy begins
to play on the liddle, the young bear lifts
Us legs In regular time lu the music.
DIDN'T KNoW HE WAS FKE8IDENT.
H'licii Charles Ciocker was at Portland
on Ids spike tour oyer the California and
Oregon, an Incident occurred which is
illustrative of the bewildering magnitude,
of tho railway Interests of that gentleman.
He received a call at the Ksmonil house
from the general manager of theOii-goniau
railway, a llttlo nanow gaugo formerly
under the control of a Scotch company.
Mr. i.'rocker legarded lliu visit as puiely
complimentary, but when thoiiaiiuwgauge
manager began to talk about tho piospects
of his line, the need of reialrs at ceilaln
points, and gave the magnate the assurance
that it was a fairly prosperous concern.
Mr. Crocker's mind became clondy. He
cleaily did not know what the man was
driving at. Still the olllcial went on until
he was Interrupted by a friend who hap
pened to bo piescnt, ami who said:
"Mr. Crocker doesn't understand what
all this ls about."
"Oh, I guess he dues," said the general
manager, with a confident air. "1 guess
lie knows that he Is president of this rail
road." 'Hut I'm if he did," said Mr.
Crocker, "until tou said so this mo
ment." The incident created a tipple of merri
ment among the railroad men who hap
pened to bo present, audsomo of tho Tort
land magnates who hoard, the story thought
a great deal less of their railroad iutercsts
when they reflected on the fact that, hero
was a man who was president of a railroad
and didn't know It.
