her and kneeling down by her side; "I think I
know what is troubling yon."
The girl shoot lier heart.
"Yes, dear, I am almost sure vou have known
Bomethirc all alone that would hare proved
Captain Merryn was innocent, and yon hare
not said it."
Rn:h powlett did cot speak for a minute, or
two. then she said slowlj:
"I do not know how jou have pnessed it,
Mary. No one Use seems to hare thought of it.
But yes, that is it, and I do so want someone to
advi-ewe whattodo. I see now I hare been
rery wicked. For a lone; time I hare been fljrht
ins against myself. I hare tried so bard to per
suade myself that I had not done much barm,
because Captain Merryn was acquitted. I bare
really known that I was wrone, but I nerei
thought how wrong until you spoke to me."
"Wait, Rnth,"Marysaid. -bef ore yon tell me
Tour secret I must tell vou mine. It would not
be fair for vou to tell me withoutknowinjrthat.
You remember the story lwas telling you about
my being carried off?"
A freb interest came into Ruth's face.
"Yes" he said, ""and you promised you
would tell me the rest another time. I thought
you meant, ot course, you would tell roe that
when this war out there was orcr, you would
some daj marry the soldier who bad done so
much for you."
"I wa-. going to tell you, Ruth, why I am not
going to marry him."
"Oh, I thought you would be sure to," Ruth
said in a tone of deep disappointment. "It
seemed to me that it was sure to be so. I
tbonelit a man would never bare risked so
much for a woman nnless be lorcd her."
tle nd love me, Ku li, and I luted him. I
don't tlnnK I made any secret of it. Somehow
it seemed to ine that he had a right to me, and
I was surprised u hen the time went on and be
didn't ak inc. When the last day came be
fore be vas to march away to fight again, I
think that if he bad not spoken I should hare
done so. Co not think me nnmaldenlr, Ruth,
but he was only a sergeant, and I was a rich
girl, for my father is a great deal better off
than be seems to be, and I thought perhaps
some foolish sort of pride held him back, for I
was quite sure that he lored roe. But he tpoke
first. He told me tint beloved me, but could
never ak me to be his wife; that be could
never marrj, but he tuun go through the world
alone to the end of hit. life."
"Oh, Mary, how tcrriblef' Ruth said piti
fullr. "how terrible! Was he married before,
then?"
No. Ruth, it was worse than that; there
was a great slia-low over his life; he had been
tried for murder, and though be had been ac
quitted, the stigma tas still upon him. Go
where he would he might be recognized and
pointed out as a murdurer; therefore, unless
tl.e truth was some da known, and bis name
cleared, no woman could ever be his wife."
Ruth had given a little gasp as Mary Arm
Strong begao,then she sat rigid and immovable.
"It was Captain Mervyn," she said, at last, in
a Ion whisper.
"Yes, Ruth, Sergeant Blunt was Captain
Merryn: he had changed his name, and gone
oat there to hide himself, but even there be
tliad already been recognized; and, as he said
fur I pleaded hard, Rutlkto be allowed to share
bis eiile go where be would, bury himself in
what out of-the-way corner be miht, sooner or
later some one would know him, and this story
would rise up against him, and, much as he
loved me all the more, perhaps, because be
lored me so much, he u ould ne er suffer me to
be pointed at as the wife ot a murderer."
"You shall not be," said Ruth, more firmly
than she had before spoken. "You shall not
be. Mar. I can clear him, and I will."
It was'Mary Armstrong's turn to break down
now the goal baa been reached Ronald
Merryn would be cleared; and she threw ber
arms round Ruth and burst into a passion of
teirs. It was some time before the girls were
sufficiently composed to renew the conversa
tion. "First or all, I must tell you, Mary," Rath
began, "that vou may not tbrak me more
wicked than I am. that I wonld never bare let
Captain Mervyn suffer the penalty of another's
crime. Against the wish, almost in the face of
the order-, of the doctor, I remained in court
all through the trial, holding in my hand the
proof of Capiain Slcrrjn's innocence, and had
the Terdict been 'guilty' I was ready to rush
lorward and prore that be was innocent. I
do not think that all that you suffered when
jou were n the hands of the Kaffirs was worse
tbaul suffered then. I saw before me the
uproar in court; the eyes that would be all
nxul upon me; the way that the Judge and the
counsel wonld blame mo for having so long
kept silence; the reproach that I should meet
with when I leturned home; the shame of mv
dear old lather: the way in which e cry soul in
the lllage would turn against me; but I w ould
bare dared it rather than that one man should
suffer lor the sin of another. And now, naring
told ou this first, so that you should not think
too harillj of me. I will tell you all."
Then Both told of ber ot her girlish lore for
George Forrester: bow she had clung to blni
through cnl report, and in spite ot the wishes
of her father and mother, but how at last the
incident of the affray with the gamekeepers
had opened her ejes to the fact that he was
altogether reckless and wild; that she could
never trust ber happiness to him. She told
how Margaret Carne bad spoken to her about
i. and bow she had promised that she would
give bim up; then she told of that meeting on
the road on the mj to church; Ins passionate
arger against herself; the threats lie bad
uttired against Miss Came for her interfer.
ence, and the way in which he had assaulted
her.
"I firmly belierc." Ruth said, "he would
have murdered me bad he not heard people
coming along tb road." Then she to d how
she found the open knife stained with blood at
Margaret Carue's bedside, and how she had
hidden it. "I d'd not do it becau-e I lored him
still, Mary." she said. "My love seemed tu
lmc been killed I had given him up before,
and the attack that he maue upon me had
shown me clearly how violent he was, and what
an escape I had hid: butl bad lotedhnn asa
bov, ard it w.v the remembrance of my girlish
love, and notanylovel then bad, that sealed
in lips; but even this would not hare silenced
inc. I think, had it not been for the sake of his
latcrer. Ice old man bad always been rery,
rery kind to me, and the disgrace of his son
being found guilty of this crime would hare
killed him. I can say, honestlv, that it was
this fact that chiefly maue ine determined to
shield bim. As to Captain Merryn, I was
as I told you. determined that though
I would keep silent if he were acquitted. I
w ould save bim if he w ere found guilty. I
never thought for a moment that acquittal
would not clear t im. It seemed to me that the
trouble that had fallen on him was thoroughly
deserved for the wav in which he baa spoken
to Miss Carne; but I thought when he was ac
quitted be would take his place in bis regiment
again, and be none the worse for what had
happened. It was only when I found that he
had left the regiment, and when Mrs.Merrjn
and her daughter; shut up the house and went
to live far awa), that I began to trouble much.
Then when two or three months later the news
came that Mrs. Mervyn was very ilk I fretted
more and more. I saw now bow wicked I had
been, though I would never quite own it
even to raj self. I would have told then,
but I did not know who to tell it to,
or what good it coula do if told. Sir.
Forrester was dead now, and the truth
could not hurt him. George Forrester had
gone away and would never comeback. You
know they found a verdict of wilful murder
against bim for killing the keeper. Somehow
it seemed too late either to do good or barm.
.Everyone had gone. Why should I say any
thing and bring grief and trouble on my father
and mother, and make tho whole Talley de
spise me? It has been dreadful," she said,
wanlr. "You cannot tell how dreadful. Ever
since you came here and tried to make a friend
of me, I have been figbtln; a battlo with my-
self. It was not right that yon should like me
it was not right tbit anyone should like me
and I felt at last that I must tell you; you first
and then evervonc Now, after what vou have
toldmc.it will not be so hard. Of coursa I
shall suffer and m father will suffer: but it
will do good and make you and Captain Mer
vyn happy for tho truth to be known, and
so I shall be able to brave it all much better
than I should otherwise hare done. Who shall
1 go to hrst?"
"I cannot tell you, Ruth. I must speak to my
father and he will think it orer, and pernaps
be will write and ask Ronald how he would
like it done. There is no great hurry, for he
cannot come homo anyhow till the war is fin
ished, and it may last for months yet."
"Well I anTready to go anywhere and to tell
everyone when vou like," Ruth said. "Do not
look so pitif nl, Mary. I am sure I shall be much
happier whatever happens, even if they put me
in prison, now that I have made up my mind to
do what is right."
"There is no fear of that 1 think. Ruth. They
neer asked you whether you had found any
thing, and though you certainly bid tbe truth,
you did not absolutely give false evidence."
"It was all wrong and wicked." Ruth said,
"and it will be quite right if they punish me;
but that would be no'nlne after what I havn
suffered lately. I should feel happier in prison
with this weight off my mind. But can tou
forgive me, Mary? Can you forgive me causing
such misery to Captain Merryn and such un
happiness to you? "
"You need not be afraid about that," Mary
said, laying her band assunngly on Ruth's
shoulder. "Whv, child, you have been a bene
factor to ns both. If you had told all about it
at first Ronald would never hare gone out to
the Cape; father and I would bare been killed
in tbe lirst attack: and if we had not been I
should have been tortured to death in tbe Ama
tolas; and, last of all, we should neTer have
been and loved each other. Whaterer troubles
you may bare to bear, do not reckon Ronald s
displeasure and mine among them. I shall
have cause to thank jou all the days of my life,
and I hope Ronald will have cause to do so too.
Kiss me, Ruth: you bare made me tbe hapnlest'
woman in the world, and I would give a great
deal to be able to set ibis right without your
baring to put ourself forwardln it."
Ruth was crying now, but they were not tears
ot unbappiness They talked for some time
longer, sitting band in hand, and then, as Mr.
Armstrong's steii wis heard coming up to the
cottage. Ruth seized her hat and shawk
"I uare not see him," she said; "he may not
look at it as yon do."
"Yes be will." Mary said. "You don't know
my father; be is one of tbe tenderest-bearted of
men." But Ruth darted out just as tbe door
opened.
"What is it?" Mr. Armstrong asked in sur
prise, -nuva x-owiett nearly Knocked me
down in the passage -and rushed off without
eren the ordinary decency of apologizing."
"Ruth has told mo ererything, father. We
. can clear Ronald Merryn as soon as we like."
And Mary Armstrong threw her arms round
her father's neck.
"I thank God for that, M ary. I felt it would
cnnie soaner orjater. but I had hardly hoped
that it would come so soon. I am thankful In
deed, my c hlld; how did it all come about?" ;
Mary repeated the story Ruth Powlett told
her.
"Yes there's no doubt abnnt it this time,"
her father said. "As you say there could be no
mistake about the knife, because she had given
it to him herself, and bad had his initials en
graved upon it at Plymouth, I don't think any
reasonable man could hare a doubt that the
scoundrel did it; and now my dear what is to
be done next?"
"Ah, that is for you to decide, I think
Ronald ought to be consulted."
' Oh, you think that?" Mr. Armstrong said
quickly. "You think bo knows a great deal
better what ought to be done than I do?"
"No. I don't exactly mean that, father, but I
think one would like to know how be would
wish it to be done before we do anything.
There is no particular hurry, you know, when
be once knows that it is all going to bo set
right."
".No, beyond the fact that be wonld naturally
like to get rid of this thing banging over him
as soon as he can. Now, my idea is that the
prl ought to go at once to a magistrate and
make an affidavit and hand over this knife to
bim. I don't know how the matter is to be re
opened, because Ronald Merryn has been
acquitted, and the other man is goodness
knows where."
"Well, father, there will be time enough to
think over it. but I do think we had better tell
Ronald Srst"
"Vcrj well, my dear, as you generally hare
your own way, I supicpe we shall settle on that
whether we agree now or three days hence, By
the way, I have got a letter in my pocket for
you from him. The Cape mail touched at Ply
mouth yesterday."
"Why did vou not tell me of it before.
father?" the girl said, reproachfullr.
"Well, my dear, your news is so1' infinitelr
more important, thatl own I forgot all about
the letter. Besides as this is the fourth that
you have bad since you hare been here, it is
not of such extreme importance."
But Mary was reading the letter and paid no
attention to what her father was saving. Pre
sently she gare a sudden exrlaimation.
"What is it, mvdear: has he changed his
mind and married a Kaffir woman? If 'so, we
need nut trouble any more about the affair."
-flo, papa, it issenous-qime serious."
"Well, my dear, that would be serious; at
least I should hare thought that you would
consider it so."
"No, father; but really this is extraordinary.
What do you think he say?"
"It is of no use my thinking about Jit, Mary,"
Mr. Armstrong said, resignedly, "especlallyas
I suppose you are going to tell me. I hare
made one suggestion, and it seems that it is in
correct" "This Is what he says, father: 'You know
that I told rou a trooper in my'company recog
nized me. I fancied I knew the man's face, but
could not recall wDere I had seen it. The other
day it suddenly flashed npon me: he is the son
oi a little farmer upon my father's estate, a
man by the name of Forrester. I often saw him
whcnlienasajoung fellow, for I was fond of
fishing, and I can remember him as a boy who
was generallr fishing down in the mill stream.
I fancy ho rather went to grief afterward, and
hare some idea he was mixed uu in a noaohinr
business in the Carne Woods. So I think he
must have left the country about that time.
Curious, isn't it, his running against me here?
However, it cannot be helped, t suppose it will
all come out, sooner or later, for he has been in
the guardroom several times for drunkenness.
and one of these times he will be sure to blurt
it out.1"
'Isn't that extraordinary, father?"
"It is certainlv an extraordinary coincidence,
Mary, that those two men the murderer of
Miss Carne and the man who has suffered for
that murder, should be out tbere together.
This complicates matters a good deal."
"It does father. There cau be no doubt of
what is to be done now."
"Well, now I quite come round to your side,
Mary; nothing should be done until Merryn
knows all about it, and can let us know what
bis rins are. I should not think tbat he could
hare this man arrested out tbere merely on his
unsupported accusation, and I should imagine
that he will want an official copy of Ruth Pow
lett's affidavit, and perhaps a warrant sent nut
from England before be can get him arrested.
Anyhow, we must co cautiously to work. When
Ruth Powlctt speaks it will make a great stir
here, and this Forrester mar hare some corre
spondent here who would write and tell him
what has hippened, and then be might make a
bolt of it before Ronald can get the law at work
and la hold of him."
"I should rather hope, for Ruth's sake, that
he would do so, father. She is ready to make
her confession and to bear all the talk it will
make and tbe blame that will tall upon her;
but it would be a great trial to ber to bare the
man she once lov ed brought over and hung
upon her evidence."
"So it would, Mary, so it would: but. on the
other hand, it can be only by his trial and exe
cution that Merrn's innocence can be abso
lutely proved to the satisfaction of erervone.
It Is a graTe question altogether, Mary, and at
any rate we will wait. Tell Merryn be has all
tbe facts before bim. and must decide w bat is
to be done. Besides, mv dear. I think it will
be onlr fair that Ruth should know that we are
in a position to lay bauds on this Forrester be
iore she makes the confession."
"I think so. too, father. Yes, she certainly
ought to be told; but I am sure that now she
has made up her mind to confers that she will
not draw back. Still, of course, it would be
rerr painful for her. We need not tell her at
present; I will write a long lettrr to Ronald
and tell bim all the inns and outs of it. and then
we can wait quietly until we hear from Him."
"You need not harp said that you will write
a long letter, Mary," Mr. Armstrong ald, drily,
"considering that eich time the mail has gone
out I bare seen nothing of you for 24 hours
previously, and I have reason to believe that an
extra mail cart has had each time to be put on
to carry the correspondence."
"It's all very well to laugh, father," Mary
saiu, a iiiub inuignanuy, -out you Know mat
he is having fights almost every day with the
Kaffirs and only has our letters to look forward
to, telling him how we are getting on, and
and '
'And how we lore him, Mary, and how we
dream of him, etc, etc"
Marr laughed.
"NeTer mind what I put in my letters, father,.
as long as oc is sausueu wim tnem. '
"I don't, mv dear. My only fear is that he
will come back wearing spectacles for l should
say that it would ruin any human eves to have
to wade through the reams of feminine hand
writing you send to him. If ho is the sensible
fellow I give bim credit for. he only reads the
Hrst three words, which are. I suppose, 'my
dirling Ronald,' and the last four, which I also
suppose are "your ever loving Mary.' "
The color florded Mary Armstrong's cheeks.
"You have no right eren to guess at ray let
ters father, and I bare no doubt that, whether
they are long or short, he reads them through
a uozen times"
"Poor fellow, poor fellow!" Mr. Armstrong
said, pityingly; "but nevertheless my dear, im
portant as all these matters are, I do not know
whv I should be compelled to fast. I came lu
an hour ago, expecting to find tea rcad. and
tbere are no signs of it visible. Yes I shall lie
following the example of the Tillacers when
their wives fail to get their meals ready, and go
down to tbe Carne's Arms for it."
"You shall have it in five minutes fither,"
Mar Armstrong said, running nut. "Men are
so dreadfully material that whatever happens
their appetite must be attended to at tbe mo
ment." And so three days afterward a full account
of all that Ruth Pow let t had said, and f the
circumstances of the case, was dispatched to
Sergeant Blunt, Cape Mounted Rifles, Kaffir
land. To be continued.)

THE 0K0NIN MPEDER.
Threatening Letters Reeelred by a Buffalo
Editor In Connection Willi the Crime
A Strong Anwer to ibe
Cowardly Mennccra.
Buffalo, October 4 Since the murder
of Dr. Cranio, at Chicago in May last,
friends of Patrick Cronin, of this city, who,
as editor of the Catholic Union, has been
particularly serere in his denunciation of
the conspirators, hare known that he was a
marked man. In this week's issue of the
Catholic Union Father Cronin editorially
announces that he has been in receipt of
threatening letters, some anonymous, others
signed; though labeled "not for publica
tion." Continuing, he said:
We hare not been reared in the cowardly at
mosphere of Irish secret society mummery,
and so are not accustomed to tremble at the
threats of tho "high mucka-mucks" of such
organizations. For orcr a score of years, in
good report and eril report, we hare upheld
the stainless banner of Ireland. Does any mis
erable Teature of a murderous conspiracy im
agine that we will flinch now or abate one lota
of just indignation against those whose fiend
ish asassinations hare almost compassed the
ruin of home rule's triumphant agitation?
There are indications that the network of mur
derous ingenuity which strangled Dr. Cronin
has also wound its paralyzing tolls about the
police department of Chicago. The derelop
ments ot the trials are such as to make one
wonder whether this is America and this is the
nineteenth century.
Men are condemned to death in a secret con
clave of Irresponsible and thievish scoundrels
and the Government of the greatest republic
of history is able neither to protect the victims
nor arenge their slaughter. Are the people of
America dreaming, or is this in truth a ghastly
raw-bead and-bloody-bones realitr? Do the
conspirators or their SMnpatbizers defenders,
creatures tools or relatiresimagino that any
decent journal will be diplomatic in dealing
with such internalini? We know not what
other papers may do, but for our part, In season
and out of season, we will raise our voice on de
manding that the luring rlllains who wrought
Cromn's foul assassination shall be hunted off
the face of the earth, on which they are carrion
and a pollution. And for those who would en
deavorto Intimidate us, we bare only pitiless
contempt. This is our reply to the threatening
and insulting letter which we hare just re
ceived. Is it explicit enough? If not, we will
hare something to say still more pointed in an
swer to future menaces

A DRIVERS' LIFE.
The Trials of a Street Railway Em
ploye. MR. JOHN STAIB TALKS,
It is seldom that the average patron of
the various street railway companies, as he
steps on tbe car and gives his nickle to the
conductor, or drops it in the box, if the car
happens to be of the kind known as the
"bobtail," gives more than a cursory glance
at the driver of the vehicle. Not olten does
a thought pass through his mind of the
trials and hardships of the knight of the
ribbons While the passenger is inside
sheltered from the wintry blasts, or the
sun's hot rays, the driver is standing in a
position exposed to the sleet and snow of
the winter months, and theintense heat and
heavy rains in the summer. As the writer
was riding on the front platform of one of
the short line cars that run to Manchester,
in Allegheny, he obtained the following in
teresting interview from John Stall), ot 200
Manhattan street, Allegheny.
"My trouble had existed orer six years.
It was hereditary from my father, who died
of the same cause. Iwas spending money
With physicians and for medicine continu
ally, but could obtain no relief. My nose
and head were stopped up. First one nos
tril would clog up and then the other. My
throat was sore, and I had great difficulty in
swallowing my lood. I had a dull, heavy
pam over my eyes, which in later years
grew worse, extending entirely around my
head and down thebackof my neck. Mreyes
would fill with water, and were so wwk and
inflamed that I could scarcely see. There
was a constant buzzing and ringing sound
in my ears.
Mr. John Slaib, tOO Manhattan Street.
''This continued lor some time withnutget
ting much worse or much better, and it was
only within the last year or two that I real
ized that the trouble bad extended until I
was in a serious condition. My nights be
came restless.' I would wake up reeling as
it I were choking. Theresas a dropping
back of matter from mv head into my
throat, Mr breathing was labored and dif
ficult. There was something like a weight
on my chest pressing down. Such nights as
these wonld leave me entirely unfit for work
the next day. As if this were not enongh,a
dry, hacking cough set in. Sometimes I
would have such hard couching spells that
I would be completely prostrated some time
after. My appetite tailed me. I felt hun
gry, but the very sight of food sickened me.
I had to force down what little I did eat.
and the food would lie like a heavy load on
my stomach, causing a narfseating feeling
with an inclination to vomit.
"In the last year I could see that the
trouble was extending faster, and I was get
ting worse more rapidly than ever. The
slightest exertion would put me out of
breath. My heart would beat hard and
fast. Then the palpitation would be fol
lowed by a slow, irregular beating and a
feeling of faintness. I had sharp pains in
my chest, running through to the shoulder
blades, ihey were so severe at times as to
almost take my breath away. Mr friends
told me I had consumption. I grew weak
and thin so rapidly that I felt like giving
up mr work-- Some time ago I heard of
Drs Copeland and Blair. I went to ste them.
Their charges were reasonable and such as I
conld afford, so I placed myself under their
care.
"It was not lone until I noticed an imnmvo.
ment. My bead became clear, I slept well aud
got up in the morning feeling refreshed. late
heartil and reli-hed what I did cat. I had no
more trouble with my bearing or my ees My
cough left me and the pains in my chest dlsap-
E eared- My heart does not palpitate and I
are no more feelings of faintness. I stand
to day a perfectly well man, and willingly state
that I owe my recorery to Drs Copeland &
Ii'air."
Mr. Staib lires at the address giren above
and this statemement can be easily verified.
Additional Evidence by Mail.
A short time ago Mr. John "Wright, of
Chicago Junction, O., placed himself under
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland &
Blair. In writing about his trouble he said:
"Two years ago I was ill with lung fever
and never fully recovered from it. I could
not sleep at night. The mucus would drop
back into my throat, and I would wake up
feeling as though I was choking. Large
scabs woukl come irom my nostrils whenever
I used my handkerchief. They would often
be streaked with blood. My eyes were
affected and were continually running a
watery substance. I was unable to attend to
my duties, feeling weak and tired all the
time. I had a hacking cough and ringing
noises in my ears. Gradually I noticed I
was becoming deaf. I would have dizzy
spells and my memory failed me. I had
pains In my chest and had no appetite.
"A short time alter I coinmence'l treating
with Drs. Copeland & Blair I noticed an
improvement. The dropping in my throat
'stopped, my cough and the pains in mr
chest left me. I can now sleep aud eat well.
The result has been .i great surprise to me,
as I had given up all hope ot ever getting
well again."
About the middle of last May Miss Lottie
J. Forker, ot 290 Arch street, Meadrille,
Pa., placed herself under treatment by mail
with Drs Copeland & Blair. Jn s'tating
her case by letter just previous to the date
above mentioned she complained of terrible
headaches followed by spells of romiting.
which would compel ber to lie in bed for 24
hours, after which she would be completely
worn out. Sharp pam in tbe breast, extending
through to the shoulder blades and followed
bv others in her stomach and side.
On June 9 she wrote: "lour medicine Is do
ing me good, I lo not feel so tired, and niy head
has onlj ached twice, aud that was caused by a
fresh cold I caught,"
On July 2 her letter stated that she wasrfeel
ine very well.
August 26 she wrote: "I feel quite like a
different woman from the one I was when I
commenced our treatment."
Some time ago Mr. M. C. Wilson, of Canons
burg, Pa., placed himself under treatment, by
mail, with Drs Copeland & Blair. In statin"
bis case by letter early in July, he coiuplaired
of a full, heavy feeling in his head over tbe
eyes a bad taste in the mouth, coughing and
raising phlegm, dimness of sight, shim pains
in tno cnesi, wiiu a ngnc, pincnea ieenngand
soreness in tbe lungs and a weak and shaky
condition of the limbs.
July 25 he wrote: "I am improving steadily;
feel ever so much better than I have in jears."
August IS he wrote: "I feel like a different be
ing from the one I was when I commenced your
treatment, and I am quite willing that a short
statement of what youi treatment has done for
me should be made in the papers"
