But there came down to him no message from I.ady Ursula. She did not make her appearance at luncheon, and everybody knew that she was ill and that she was keeping her own room. In the meantime, Paul was rather hard put to ii for an excuse for his own conduct in remaining downstairs while his wifc was invalided. He had already made il known that hc was summoned to town, but as there was no good train till three o'clock, he could not avoid'meeting the house party at luncheon. Then he gave lhc best account he could of his wife's indisposition. "She had a fright, I think. A gipsy or something. I found her lying on the ground al the foot of the lull in a dead faint, and luckily Eastling was not far oil���and we got her up to thc house together. She had belter be quilii quiet for a few hours. Then, ] think, she'll be all right." This was the best explanation he could give, anil lo do him justice he gave it SO badly, with so much hesitancy and obvious lack of case, that his brother-in-law fell softened toll arils hint. Caul could feel, even if he had greatly sinned. There, was indeed a general sense of uneasiness abroad. Rumors had bein dying about of some sort of a quarrel between I.ady Ursula and her husband, as was inevitable, since the lady's maid had been in the room at lhe. lime of her mistress's recovery. Everybody tried very hard to talk more than usual, and tiie. conversation was disconnected and difficult to keep up. When luncheon was ovcr, a message was brought to Lord Hastling that I.ady Ursula wanted to speak lo him, and he went upstairs. 1'aul, nervous as a schoolboy summoned to ihc headmaster's room, hung about die hall and staircase, hoping to be sent for, Hut thc minutes passed and no one came down to him, and tlle faint hope he had been cherishing of a last word With his wifc died away. CHAPTER XXII. II Paul pictured his wife as stern, unbending, coldly thrusting him oiit| (rom her heart and resolved never to exchange a word with a man who had proved so unworthy, nothing could have been more ludicrously unlike the truth. She had known so much about his past life. Itlld she had believed so firmly in his Rood faith when he assured her that il was done with, that I tiie sudden discover- ol the lies with which he had satisfied her, of llie horrible- compart into which he had entered, .nirl the fresh crime which it had involved, went nigh to over* whe Iniing In r, As event afler event Hashed into When Your Eyes Need Care C��e Murine I: r�� Unlliline.

I.ady Ursula's strongest feeling was shame, shame which brought Ihc red blond into her cheeks at the tboughl that the man she loved, lhc man she had chosen, was utterly unworthy. She thought thai her love was dead, killed by the horror of the fraud practised upon her; but yet her feelings was never more than this: one of shame for him as well as lor herself, of sorrow keen and poignant for a loved onc lost, for au illusion destroyed. Since he could deceive her, tell lies to her, make her a partner in lhe guilt of keeping stolen gems, it followed necessarily, to her innocent mind, lhat his love, for her was a fraud, too. If he had loved her he could nol have treated her like Ihis, could not have dragged her down to be a sharer in thc rewards of bis crime. And lhe pearls! Oh, he stole ihose, too, no doubt; stole them, and then was forced by circumstances to give them back. What else had lie done while she had becn his wife? What other thefts had he committed, while swearing to her that hc was leading a reformed life? ! She dared not ask. So for a long while she sat in acll- ; ing sorrow and shame, until a thought slung her like a goad, and made her : leap to her feet, and, ringing the bell, ! send a message lo her brother. When he came he found her with thc light of fever in her blue eyes, making up a parcel with trembling fingers. "There's something, Tom, wliicli I want you to post at once, at once. You must register it." "What is it?" he asked, making a very good guess. She showed him that she was packing up thc unset jewels which Paul had given her, mounted in necklace and tiara and bracelets, as her wedding present. "I am sending these to Scotland Yard," she said, "as lost property." Her brother was startled. "But my dear Ursula, you can't have them posted here. Thc first thing that would happen would be lhat you would find yourself confronted with a detective, and you would have to account for having them in your possession." "1 don't care, I don't care!" said she, wildly. "If I have lo account for them, 1 shall simply say that lhcy came into my possession without my knowing where they came from, but thai on hearing that they were stolen 1 sent ihem to the police." "Hut mailers could not slop ihere, you know. You don't want Paul arrested, do you?" ' 'lhc parcel fell from birr hands, and the gems rolled oul upon the little writing tabic;. "No, of course 1 don't want lhat," whispered she hoarsely. "Well, then, keep your head. Lct the matter rcsl a day oi' iwo, and I'll find sonic, way out." Hut this would not do. The fever that burned in Iter eyes warned linn that she must be humored. At last he- agreed lo lei her make up thc parcel, directed it himself in a feigned hand lo lhe t.osl Property Office, Scotland Yard, ami ihen gol her to enclose- ihc parcel in another wrapper, which he directed to a friend he could Irusl iu London. -I'll wire to him lo expect lhe par- col,'' said Lord hastling, "and 'ell him tn drop il in the 1'oTt himself. Wc can't ri*k having it registered, but it is not likely to be lost. Al any rale', il won't have, far to go, as he'll probably post il somewhere near St. James' Street, where he lives." The parcel was made up, and Lord Eastling, urged by his sisler, who could nol rest until the jewels were out of her possession, ran downstairs with il. Al the foot of the staircase he met Paul, anxious, pale, heavy-eyed. "How is she?" asked he in a low voice. "Belter." "No word for nn*, 1 suppose?" I.ord Eastling shook his head, and tried to pass. He was afraid of what Paul would say if lie were lo learn lhe errand cm which he was bent, and his very anxiety made him furtive and eager lo gel away. "Where arc you going," asked Paul, "wilh that clumsy parcel?" Suddenly he. seized il and looked al the direction, lord Eastling, hoping thai hr would not guess what it contained, affected indifference.

At that time I lived at Sharbot Lake, Out., and a friend advised mc lo use Dr. Chase's Ointment, saying he would guarantee cure. Less than two boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment cured me. Thai is sixteen years ago, and I am O.K. yet, so think you can consider the cure permanent. I cannot praise Dr. Chase's Ointment cnbligh, as it saved me from a great deal of pain and suffering," Rev, W. j. Beamish, Salmon Arm, B.C., writes: "I have been acquainted with Mr. O, II.
