had belore told so strongly in Us favor was
wanting. If a man so far forgets himself as
to use threats to a woman, he must not be
surprised it he gets into trouble. 01 course,
now the jury had Riven a verdict of "Not
guilty," there was no more to be said.
There was no doubt he was a very lucky
fellow, and the jury had given him the
benefit of the doubt. Still, if he hadn't
done it, who had killed Margaret Came?
Such was the general opinion, and al
though Ronald had still some staunch ad
herents in his own neighborhood, the tide of
feeling ran against him.
Two months after the trial, Mrs. Mervyn
died, broken doxvn by grief, and while
this naturally caused a renewal of the talk,
it heightened, rather than otherwise the feel
ing against ber son. The general verdict
was that it was his doing; whether he killed
Margaret Carne or not, there was no doubt
that he had killed his mother. All this was
doubtless unfair, but it was not unnatural;
and only those who believed thoroughly in
Ronald's innocence felt how hard this addi
tional pain must be to him.
Immediately the funeral, was over, the
two girls moved away to London, and the
house was advertised to let, but the odor of
the recent tragedy hung over it. 27o one
cared to take a house with which such a
story was connected. A month or two later
there was a sale of the furniture; the house
was then shut up and lost to the county.
Ten days after the trial it was announced in
the Gazette that Ronald Mervyn had retired
from the service upon sale of his commis
sion. No one bad seen him after he had left
the court a free man. His horses were sold
a week later, and his other belongings for
warded from the regiment to an address he
ga c in London. His mother and sister had
a few days later gone up io a day to town,
and had met him there. He had already
written to them that he intended to go
abroad, and they did not seek to combat his
resolution.
"I can never come back, mother, unless
this is cleared up. Tou must feel as well as
I do that I cannot show mv face anywhere.
I am surprised that I get off myself, and in
deed if it were not that I am sure I never
got off my horse that night I should some
times suspect that I must for a time have
been really mad and have done what they
accuse me of. I have already sent down a
detective to the village. There must be
some clew to all this if one could only hit
upon it, but I own that at present I do not
see where it is to be looked for. I do not
believe it was done by some passing tramp.
I agree with every word that was said at my
trial in that respect.
"Everything points to the fact that she
was deliberately murdered, though who ex
cept myself could have entertained a feeling
oi animosity against Margaret. God onlv
knows. Tbere is one comfort, mother, and
only one," he said, with a hard laugh. "I
can set our minds at ease on one point, which
I have never felt sure about before, that is,
that I have not inherited the curse oi the
Carnes. Had I done so, the last two months
would have made a raving lnnatic of me,
whereas I have never felt my head cooler
and my reason clearer than I have since the
day I was arrested. But you musn't grieve
for me more than yon can help, mother; now
that it .'is over, I feel more for you and the
girls than I do for mself. I have a sort of
conviction that somehow, though I don't see
how, the thing will be cleared up some day.
Anyhow I mean to go and lead a rough life
somewhere, to keep myself from brooding
over it. The weight will "really fall upon
you, far more than upon me, and I should'
Ftrongly advise you to shut up the house,
let it it you can, and either come up here or
settle in some place either Brighton or
Hastings where this story will soon be for
gotten and no one will associate your names
with this terrible business."
About that time a stranger arrived at
arnesiora. lie announced mat lie was a
carpenter from the North, and that he
sufiered from weak lungs, and had been
recommended to live down South. After
staying for a week at the Carne's Arms'he
stated that he liked the village so much that
he should settle there if he saw a chance of
making a livelihood, and as it happened
that there was no carpenter in the village,
the idea was received with favor, and a
week later he was established in a cottage
that happened to be vacant. As he was a
man who seemed to have traveled about
England a good deal, and was well spoken
and informed, he soon took a good position
in the place, and was even admitted to form
one of the party in the snuggery, where he
would talk well upon occasions, but was
specially popular as ah excellent listener.
When spring came there was a fresh sen
sation. The gardener at the hotel, in dig
ging up some ground at the edge of the
shrubbery, to plant some rhododendrons,
there turned up the missing watch and jew
elry of Margaret Carne. It was all buried
together a few inches below the soil, with
out any wrapper or covering of any kind.
Captain Hendricks arrived at Carnesiord as
soon as the news of the discovery reached
inm. Reginald Carne was himself awav,
having been absent ever since the trial too'k
place. Most of the servants had left at
once; the old cook and a niece of hers alone
remaining in charge, and two stablemen
from fhe garden aUo staying in the honse.
Nothing came of the discovery, but it, of
cmrse, renewed the interest in the mystery
of Margaret Carne's death, and the general
opinion was that it was fortunate indeed for
Ronald Mervyn that the discovery had not
been made before his trial, for it completely
demolished the theory that the murder was
the work of a burglar. It was possible, of
course, that such a man, knowing the active
hue and cry that would be set on foot, and
that it would be dangerous to offer the jew
elry for sale, and still more dangerous to
keep it about him, had at once buried it,
intending to go back some day to recover it,
for, as Reginald stated at the trial, the miss
ing jewels were worth 1,500.
But had they been so hidden they would
assuredly have been put in a box or some
sort of cover that would protect them from
the damp, and not have been merely thrust
into the ground. Altogether the discovery
greatly heightened, instead of diminishing,
the impression that the murder was an act
of revenge and not the outcome of robbery,
and the cloud over Ronaid Mervyn became
heavier rather than lighter iu co'nsequence.
Ruth Powlett had gained health and
strength rapidly after the verdict of "Not
guilty" had been returned against Ronald
Mervyn. She was still grave and quiet,
and as she went about her work at home,
Hesba would sometimes tell her that she
looked more likr a woman of SO than a girl
of 19; but her mind had been lightened
from the burden of her terrible secret, and
she felt comparatively happv. She spent
much of her time over at the Forresters', for
the old man and his wife were both ailing,
and they knew that there was little chance
of their ever seeing their son again, for the
gamekeeper, who had been injured in the
poaching affray, had since died, and as the
evidence given at the inquest all pointed to
the fact that it was George Forrester who
had struck the blow that had eventually
proved fatal, a verdict of "Wilfnl murder"
had been returned againsthim.
Ruth's conscience was not altogether free
ns to her conduct in the matter, and at the
time of Mrs. Mervyn's death she suffered
much. As for Ronald Mervyn himself, she
had little compass;on for him. She would
not have permitted him to be hung; but the
disgrace that had fallen upon him, and the
fact that he had been obliged to leave the
country, affected her a little. She had been
greatly attached to her mistress, who had
treated her raiher as a friend than as a
servant; and that he should have insulted
and threatened Margaret was in her eyes an
offense so serious that she considered itrichly
deserved the punishment that had befallen
him.
Until she heard of Mrs. Mervyn'n death
she had scarcely considered that the. inno
' cent must suffer with the guilty, and after
that she felt far more than she h'ad done be
fore that she had acted wrongly in keeping
the secret, the more so since the verdict re
turned against George Forrester in the other
case had rendered the concealment to some
extent futile. But indeed Forrester and his
wire did not suffer anything like the pain
and shame from thisrverdictthat they would
have done had their son been proved to have
been the murderer f Miss Carne. Public
opinion, indeed, ran against poaching as
against drunkenness or enlisting in the
army, or other wild conduct; but it was not
considered as an absolute crime, nor was the
result of a ficht, in which a keeper might
he killed try a blow struck in self-defense,
regarded as a murder, in whatever point of
view the law might take it. ' Still Ruth suf
fered and at times told herself 'bitterly that
although she meant to act for the best, she
had done wrongly and wickedly in keeping
George Forrester's secret
Three months later, to the regret of all
Carnesford, the carpenter, who, although
not a first-rate hand, had been able to do the
work of the village and neighborhood, sud
denly left He had, he said,-received a let
ter telling him he had come into a little
property up in the North, and must return
to see atter it. So two days later the cot
tage again stood vacant, and Carnesford,
when it wanted a carpenter's job done, was
obliged to send over to the next village for
a man to do it

THE PITTSBimG-
A HOMESTEAD EPISODE
A Well-Known Steelworker Makes a
Statement.
HIS TESTIMONY GIVEN IN FULL
"Iam;arteelworker by trade, and was
brought up in the business from my boy
hoodand I think .it is to my work that I
can, -in part at least, lay the cause ok my
trouble."
. The speaker was Mr. W. C. Heins, of No.
6416 Aurelia street, East End, Pittsburg.
He is employed at the steel works of Car
negie, Phipps & Co., at Homestead, Pa.,
and was one of the men out in the strike
-which occurred there last week, and was
settled by a general conference on Sunday,
the men getting a satisfactory adjustment of
their trouble and returning to work.
'"'As I said before," continued Mr. Heins,
"I think my peculiar work caused my
trouble. I work at the rolls, one of the
hottest places in the mill. I would become
very warm, and between the heats would
step out into the air to cool off. I would
catch cold after cold, but paid no attention
to them. Finally, a few years ago I found
I was getting into bad shape.
"My nostrils would clog up and I began
to have headaches continually. It was not
a sharp pain at first, but just a-dull heavy
feeling in my forehead over the eyes. I
seemed to have a cold all the time and was
steadily becoming worse. My throat be
came raw and was all choked up. A dry,
hacking cough set in. There would be a
dropping back of matter into my throat, and
I was all the time hawking and raising
little clots of white phlegm.
"The trouble hung on this way for some
time without getting much better or worse
until about three years ago, when it ex
tended so far that t realized I was in a se
rious condition. I had ringing or pounding
sounds iu my cars, just like a person feels
when he comes out of boiler works. My
eyes became dim and were constantly dis
charging a watery substance. I could not
see to read.
Mr. W. C. Heim, CUS Aurelia Street
"Sharp pains, stabbing likea knife, would
shoot through both sides of my chest They
were so severe at times as to almost take my
breath away. The worst pain, however, was
in my groin. Often it was so Intense that I
would have to sit down.
"Palpitation of the heart set in. This
would be followed by a slow, irregular
beating, and a feeling of dizzidess. My
nights became restless. My throat would
fill up. and my breathing was labored and
difficult There was a heavy feeling in my
chest as if a weight were pressing down.
"My sleep did me no good. I tried every
way to get rest I would sleep sometimes
5 hours, sometimes 10 or 12, bat it made no
difference. I would wake up feeling tired
and unrested, as if I had not been asleep
more than 15 minutes. In fact the longer I
slept tne worse J. lelt l had no appetite in
the morning. I was always sick after eating
my breakfast It was a feeling as it I
wanted to vomit All this unfitted me for
work. Often I felt as though I would have to
stop work entirely. I was mure like a dead
man than a living one.
"I tried almost every remedy and consulted
various physicians, but could get no relief.
Some time ago I read of Drs. Copeland &
Blair. I went to them and found their charges
reasonable and placed myself under their care.
Very soon I began to feel a decided Improve
ment in my condition. My bead ceased to
ache. The soreness left my throat. I had no
more pains in my chest or groin. My cough
has left me and I can sleep well and have a
good appetite. I arise in the morning feeling
xefreshed and invigorated. The dimness has
left my eyes, and they are no longer -watery. J
can see well, and enjoy reading. In fact I am
perfectly satisfied with my condition, being
strong and well. I can do my work and do not
feel the exertion. I feel that I owe my recov
ery to Drs. Copeland & Blair, and am glad to
make this statement."
Mr. Heins lives, as stated, at No. 6415 Aurelia
street. East End, Pittsburg, and his statement
can be easily verified.
VERY PLAIN TALK,
Showing (he Outline of a Routs Which is
' Often Followed.
When a person with a delicate constitu
tion has a tendency, to catarrh or consump
tion whether this tendency is inherited or
results from taking cold easily it is notice
able that that person invariably loses flesh
and loses strength, showing that the nutri
tion is interfered with.
In such a case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will restore
the defcotive nutrition and tend to invigorate
the constitution.
It is to be remembered in every case the pres
ence ot catarrh is an evidence of predisposition
to consumption, and no matter how slight the
attack may be. It sbonld be treated with the
greatest care and the treatment should be con
tinued until all traces of the catarrh have dis
appeared. If the catarrh is allowed to reach the small
est tubes in the lungs which condition is in
dicated by the spitting up of a yellow material
then immediate attention to the malady is
demanded, or serious lung trouble will result.
Catarrhris, nine times out of ten, the cause
that produces consumption, and hence no one
can afford to neglect a case of catarrh, how
ever slight. It Is easily cured, if taken in time
and treated regularly and correctly by a spe
cialist. If left to itself It is rarely cured with
out a change of climate, but with each new
cold It gets more and more troublesome, ex
tending always a little deeper into the lungs
until a cure becomes difficult and sometimes
impossible.
"I shoul d like to be treated," a lady remarked
tho other day, ''but I wonld not like to have
my name in the paper." Let it be stated that
Drs. Copeland and Blair never publish a name
or statement without tbe full and free consent
of the patient, nor do tbey publish one hun
dredth part of the testimonial, letters and
statements received by theih from grateful
patients. As observed, the statements given
are entirely voluntary, and are given by the
Satients for publication. Drs. Copeland and

testimonial unless the patient giving It under

consent
