While Iloger and the girl he loved with heart and soul lit thua upon the old lug, the lound uf henry footalepi clone at lirflid came to their eara. The two lovers aprnng like frightened deer to their feet, nml aa they did an linger heurd a llercc Invective uttered In a low, deep voice. .Standing within ten feet of the two lovers wn an elderly man, one who had evidently reached the age of three-ncore years, at wai Indicated by hla Iron-gray hair and beard, the former of wr'ch fell upon Id ihouldei: yed It was plain to be seen mil ma iron conm til on Had re. Muled thr ravage of time, nml tint he wn ai liule ami hearty aa mo.it men at forty. HI counlfiitiiii-e would have been a reuiarkablo one nt any time, but nceii Jiut then, contorted with the feeling of linger that neeuird to pointed bin huiiI, It wn a face thnt ltoger would never for get to hi dying day. Itogrr Dnrrell had not nccii him for more than fifteen year, but ho mo intui tive power heemed to tell blm that he wn now face to face with the man who bud refused to forglvo hi father, oven on his death bed Lawrence Richmond. Tho tableau remained unbroken for more than a full minute, and then It was the old gentleman who mndu the tint move. "Ahnl" he exclaimed, almost hissing the words through hi clenched tcqth, while bis band tightened Ita grasp upon Ills cane, "a light breaks in upon me. It Is easy to understand now why your af ternoons huvo been so well taken up that )oii have had no time to spare with me. And you, a itlchmond, betray the trust I put in you, For shame, Carol, for shamel" The young girl tried to atannar tut nifi aii.,i.i- aoiuv rxcuac, but he would not llatrn to her. "Huaht Jo not make thr matter worar by nlti'iuptlng to explain, You Iiorc do celvrd me, and nothing can undo that.

If you be a man, ralie your head, air, and look me In the fT." HI tone waa Iniultlng, ronaldering the fact that he waa addrnalng a proud man, rnd the wealthiest land owner for mnpy mile around. Itogrr knew that an ex ploalon waa at band, bat he wn now nerved to meet It. He removed bli hat and with manly dignity atood before the old gentleman. There waa no reaeou why he abould be aibanud became i loved the daughter of bli deadly enemy, and yet a cold chill aecmed to paa over bla heart, aa he saw the look that ap peared upon Lawrence IUchmond'a face. The aneer that bad accompanied hla wot da gave way to a look of Implacable bate am) aavage fury. "You are other than I believed," be finally gaaped, rather than apoke. "I am Itogrr Darrel," replied the young man, limply. "Then you are y blttemt foe. You thought to atrike a blow at my heart, by atrallng my pet daughter, but heaven baa thwarted you, you villain," grated he, a one band grained Carol' wrlat and drew her to hlin, while with the other he ehook bli heavy cane In Itoger'a face. OHAITBIt II. The action of the old gentleman waa at aggressive that Itogrr Instinctively fell hack a pace before the threatening cane, but be epeedlly recovered, and faced he enraged man calmly. "Ilrllsve me, Mr. Itlchmond, I declare to you on my honor as a grutlrman " "Honor! A Darrel spesk of honorl Comr, now, that Is too good, young man," Thr blood leaped Into Itogrr' fare at this Insult. A younger man would hav paid the penalty dC bis rasbnes on the pot. Lawrence IUchmond'a age cauard the young man to bold hi Impulio In check. "Mr. Itlchmond, you and my father were rnrtnlrs, but at his death he would have had you with him so tbst he might hsve asked your pardon for bis share of the difference existing between you two. Whether you ever received his message, or not, I do not know, but you gave no algn. He la In bis grave now, and I. hla only son, hsve given you no resson to hste me. Then why should we not be friends? There waa a time when you dandled ltoger Darrel upon your kner; vdll ynu now refute to evrn clasp hi handr "Frlendal" almost shouted the old man In hi ungovernable rage, for he possets ed a fearful temper. "I tell you I hate your name; I hate your face; I hate even the sight of your presence. Go from here, snd never let my daughter see your bstrful countenance agsln. Touch your band? Sooner would I clsap a viper whom- fangs were Isden with polun. Once for sll, ltoger Dirrrl, let me tell you we can never Ik- friends; we sbsll be enemies to tbr destb. I am a man of Iron will, as porhsps you know. Carol, look your Istt ou this man who would have cauacd you to weep tears of blood; tliru come with me." For one minute they atood looking Into each othrr'a face, then the aavage old man wheeled, and, still retaining his hold of Carol's wrist, walked away with a vigor that was turprlslng, ronaldering hi age, and yrt which damped hi word true; be waa a man of Iron will. Hlowly ltoger made hi way home, but the broad domain over which be had so lately gloated aa the home to which he would bring his bonny bride had loat all Its chsrms for blm. Hardly had he pasted from Carol's sight, down the foreat aisle, before the huahes mailed not far away, and a fe male form thrust Itself Into view, a glrl'a fare, with the largest black eves Imagin able, which were flashing with minded tlrea, Her sudden and weird appearance startled ltoger, and caused him to spring back out of her way. Hhe passed swiftly on, muttering vehe mently to herself, but ltoger was so deeply absorbed In his own aad love af fair that, having recovered from his sur prise, be paid no further atteutlou to her. He did not see thr islrl suddenly turn csst ukiii him the Intensest firelight of thoae flaablng eyes, nor hear her awful threat.

GOOD BLOOD SPEAKS FOR You know when rich, red blood Is coursing through the veins, for it shows In the brightness of the eve. the beauty and clearness of the complexion, skin, and robust, healthy constitution. that Imparts strength and energy to the body and keeps It In a state o! hcalthfulness ajjd vigor. Good blood Is the foundation of good health, and to be physically and mentally sound ft mast be kept pure and untainted. rcopie wan gtxm dioou possess strong, steady erven and are blest with good appetites and digestion, and enjoy sound, refreshing sleep. If we could always maintain the purity of the blood then we might enjoy perpetual health, but it becomes infected and poisoned and most ot the ills that afflict humanity and undermine the constitu tion ore caused by an impoverished or polluted condition of this vital fluid. ' When the blood is diseased the skin loses its healthy appearance, and the complexion, its freshness and beauty and becomes red and rough and full of pimples and splotches. Itching, scaly eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes break out upon the body when the blood is too poor or too thin and acid, and is not supplying: proper nourish ment to the system. Debility, poor appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep and nervousness more often come from sluggish, impure blood than any other cause. To build up the blood, restore Its lost properties and make it rick and nutritious again is the only rational treatment, and the proper way to get rid of skin troubles. There is no remedy like S. S. S. to accomplish thla disappear, the appetite Improves, the complexion clears and you get rid of those miserable depressing feelings and nervousness, and enjoy once more the blessings of good health.
