"Well, my boy," said the broker,

BLOOD
DISEASE!
AND SYSTEMDISORDEREE'
Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the" head and
throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, 'etc., would seem to indi
cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. 1 Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
of tiric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be
come torpid aqd dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca
tarrhal poison affect3 all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever

THE CHARITY GIRL
By EFFIE A. ROWLANDS
CHAPTER XXI.
Naturally when Jack Glendurwood
came home from Belgnton the truth about
Sheila came out, t
"I happened to call at Dinglewood for
a moment I wanted to speak to Twist
about that horse he said he would buy,
and found the fair Sheila with that Fair
fax girl and her Lancelot all ready to
tart off for a ride. They proposed ac
companying me, and I agreed, though I
could have done very 'well without them."
Audrey laughed aa he related the re
sults of the ride, and Jean's gray eyes
glowed with triumph.
"I wish I had told htm what that
odious woman said," she observed to
Audrey, when they were alone In the
drawing room ; "he ought to know of her
Insolence." x
"It would only vex him, and I don't
really mind," Audrey answered, though
she had been much hurt for the moment,
"besides, it Is all so vulgar and disagree
able. Why should we trouble about It?"
On the last day of October Willie
Fullerton came down to Craiglanda,
greatly to Audrey's delight
"Now, Jean, I want you to be very
nice to him ; he is a dear boy," she de
clared.
"The dear boy being a good five years
older than your ladyship," laughed Jean ;
but she found it a very easy task to be
nice to Willie Fullerton.
His open admiration for Audrey won
her heart, and she felt that before long
this pleasant young Englishman and her
self would be good friends. To begin
with, they both cordially detested Mrs.
Fairfax and her daughter, and that was
a very good foundation to commence
upon. .
The week following Mr. Fullerton's
arrival was, to Jean Thwait's thinking,
the pleasantest that had come since she
had left Broadborough.
To Audrey, It was quietly happy; the
Dinglewood folk gave hef a little breath
ing space; Sheila and Lady Daleswater
having gone up to town to arrange about
the masked ball, and she had her Jack
nearly all to herself, for Jean and Willie
Fujlerton fraternized warmly, and were
much together. Audrey's letters to her
mother that week unconsciously betrayed
the feeling of her heart. She wrote free
ly, joyously, not In the strained fashion
that had seemed to hang about her of
late, and Constance Fraser, away alone,
bearing her great sufferings with cour
age and patience, rejoiced as she read.
Alas! How little. did she think those
letters were the last happy ones Audrey
would write for many a long, -weary day.
Jack, too, tired out with perpetual ex
citement and worry, basked In the sun
shine of his girl-wife's love, and reveled
In the gladness her presence gave him.
Two days before the masked ball Sheila
and Lady Daleswater returned to Dingle
wood, and drove over to Craiglands to
discuss all the arrangements with the
Glendurwoods. They found the four
young people out In the grounds playing
lawn tennis.
"I have come to ask Lady John what
she is going to wear at the ball. , Oh, I
know It is a great secret, but I will be
tray It to no one," Sheila said to Jack,
as they .walked away, and then she tried
to catch his eye as she gave a very palpa
ble sigh.
Audrey good-naturedly offered to show
her gown and domino to both, Sheila and
Lady Daleswater. Jean Thwait had been
carefully excluded from the Invitations.
"Lovely! Beautiful ! Exquisite!"
cried Sheila, as Murray unfolded the
sheeny satins and held them forth for
inspection. "And this Is your . domino,
Lady John?"
"Black and silver. It was Jack's Idea.
Isn't It pretty? Look at the design over
the shoulders."
"I wish you would put It on ; I shbuld
like to see It so much," Sheila next ob
served. Lady Daleswater had not vouchsafed
to come up and see the finery, she was In
far too bad a temper.
"An artist from London Is coming
down to sketch us all. He arrives to
day. I think he had better begin at
once. I wish you would allow him to
sketch yours, Lady John."
"I shall be delighted," Audrey said,
cordially. "Shall he come here or must
I go to him?"
Sheila's cheeks were .quite rosy.
"Oh, there la no need to trouble you.
Just send Murray over with It. She
might drive back with us If you can
spare her."
Audrey, .only too glad to find Sheila
speaking so pleasantly, agreed ' at once,
and so, when the Dinglewood carriage
drove away, Lady John's maid rode In
it, carefully guarding the box containing
the black and silver domino.
Audrey meant to have told Jean about
this, but all Ideas went out of her head
as the carriage disappeared, and they
rushed to finish tEeir game.
"I say, baby, here's a bore," Jack Glen
durwood said, at he entered Craiglands
at dinner time on the evening of Sheila's
ball. "I can't go with you to-night, after
all."
"Oh, Jack !" Audrey clasped her hands
In despair. "I am disappointed. I don't
think I shall go, then. What is the met
ier ?"
"Benson has telegraphed me he must
see m at once on Important business;
something gone wrong with the election,
I suppose. I'll tt back as quickly as
possible, and com on to yon If I can."
"Your dreea looks so lovely. Ton
would make such an exquisite Black
Brunswlcker, Jack." '
"Well." laus-hed Jack, klaalriir her. "I
will try and get Into my fine togs; at J
least, if I cannot manage the Blackl
Brunswlcker, I will don my gray domino.
You will be able to pick me out', won't
you, fairy, even though 1 am masked?"
"And you me?" Audrey added. "Don't
forget to look for the black and silver.
Jack."
Dinner wae hurriedly eaten, and Jean
was much grieved for Audrey's sake that
Lord John could not accompany her.
After Jack had driven away, the two
girls mounted up to Audrey's pretty bed
room. "You must be My maid to-night Jean,"
he said, as they sat before the fire for
a few momenta.
"Why, where la Murray?"
"Oh, she was very rude and I was
obliged to send her away," Audrey an
swered, a shade falling on her face.
"There have been a great many com
plaints about her downstairs."
"I hope you told Lord John, Audrey,"
she said. "No? My dearest believe me,
you are wrong; this perpetual attacking
of you. Believe me, If It were once
known that your husband had put his
foot down, ypu would find Dinglewood
House would learn bow to behave Itself."
"But Jean, dear, what has Dingle
wood House to do with Murray's Inso
lence?" Audrey asked, quietly.
"More than you imagine, Audrey."
Audrey was silent for a moment.
"Jean," she saM, looking up with tears
In her eyes, "why is It that they they
are so cruel? What have I ever done to
Sheila Fraser or Lady Daleswater that
they should hate me so?" -
"You have offended Lady Daleswater
by your beauty and aristocratic bearing;
you have made an enemy of Sheila Fraser
because you have robbed her of the man
she meant to marry."
"Jean!" Audrey turned pale. "Is this
true?"
. "Ask any one about the place, and
you will find It Is ; but why ehould It dis
tress you? Remember the time it takes
to make your complexion ; and how will
your ladyship have your hair dressed to
lght?" Audrey smiled at Jean's grave mimicry
of Murray's, voice. ' -
. "Now let us go down, the carriage Is
at the door, and Mr. Fullerton will be
tired of waiting."
She followed the black and silver dom
ino down the stairs, and then gave a
great start as Willie sauntered out of the
smoking room In his ordinary evening
dress. '
"Why are you so late? Have you been
sleeping?" Jean demanded severely.
Willie colored and stammered out an
excuse.
"If you will forgive me, I have such
a headache, I "
"You want to stay at home? Certain
ly. Jean, look well after him. Good
night, darling; good-night Mr.' Fullerton;
you really do look alarmingly ill," and
so, laughing, Audrey drove away.
Jean stood gazing out after the car
riage. Willie had never seen her look like that
before, and It puzzled him.
"I say, Miss Thwait you are not
vexed I did not go, are you? I I am
Jean turned to him hurriedly.
"Not vexed, Mr. Fullerton, -but sorry.
I should like you to have been with 'he
to-night. I hardly know' why I say this,
but I have a presentiment that some
thing, Is going to happen, and that Au
drey will find sorrow, not pleasure, at
Sheila Fraser's masked ball." '
CHAPTER XXII.
A huge ballroom had been erected on
the lawn, with light, wooden walls, and
one cone shaped roof ; the floor was' par
quet, and as smooth as Ice ; a sWrt mili
tary band was to provide music; supper
was served In another temporary room,
and the drawing room, hall and conserva
tory were turned Into a lounge and prom
enade, j
Audrey felt quite bewildered as she
found herself In this throng of variously
colored forms, all with the black lace
or Bilk covering over their faces. She
wished vaguely she had not. come, then
that she had Jack with her, or Willie
Fullerton. Suddenly Audrey became
aware that two people were talking clou
to her and that they were speaking of
her.
"They call her a beauty !" one woman's
voice said. Audrey could recognize neith
er of the two. "A small, insignificant
thing like that with her black hair and
staring white face! Jack Glendurwood
did the worst day's work he will ever
do when he married herl What can a
low born and bred girl like that know
about social duties?" .
"And yet they say she was a great
success in town."
"They say of course they say so.
Well, ask ' Gladys Daleawater and you
will hear the truth."
!'Ah, It wae a sad mistake ! Such a
nice fellow, too; he should have married
Sheila."
"I can't make out why on earth he
didn't ! This charity girl business seems
to me to have been very well arranged
by Mr. Fraaer. Why, everybody knows
he has always been in love with Sheila.
They are together now. I just caught
sight of them as we oame along, his tall
gray domino beside her pale-blue one.
I expect he tells her all his trouble.
Sheila Is so fond of him. They, ought
to have been man and wife, and would
have been, too, but for that pasty-faced,
upstart creature!"
Audrey's limbs seemed frozen, her heart
a lump of ice. What waa this she had
heard? What horrible nightmare had
come over her! So this woe what wae
aid I
"Sheila and Jack !" Again and again
the phrase rang In her ears. "Sheila and
Jack!" They had always loved; they
loved now;, and she ehe, Audrey, the
low-born, low-bred charity girl she stood
between them,
A moan broke from her burning Hps
she held one hand pressed close over the
other so tightly as almost to tear the
gloves she wore. Her brain was on fire
her head reeled.
She sat so quiet she might have been
a figure of marble, not human flesh and
blood. Not even In that one moment of
actual peril on board the Mona had she
felt as she did now. She was stranded
before she had sailed beyond the sun
tipped waves of youth and youth's sweet
dreamlngs. Suddenly she awoke with a
start. A voice was calling shrilly In her
ear, and a hand was placed on her shoul
der. ,
"Lady John I know It Is you by your
domino what are you doing all alone?
Isn't It fun? Aren't you enjoying your
self? I never was at anything so lovely
In all my life. Don't you know mc? I
am Alice Fairfax. It Is such fun being
disguised like this. But you must not
sit here all alone. Lord John is enjoy
ing himself immensely. I met him walk
ing in the garden with Sheila Just now.
You see, I know all the dominoes, and
can pick people out quite easily."
"You you are sure my husband is
here,' Miss Fairfax?"
"Yes. He has been dancing with
Sheila. They are out In the garden. Do
you want him? Shall I go and find him;
or why not come with me, I know Just
where they are."
Audrey's simple, loving heart wae
ablase with Jealousy. ' So he had come,'
and had gone to Sheila first without look
ing for her? What if those cruel tongues
had spoken true, that already he was
repenting his bargain, and turning again
to Sheila, the girl he had always loved.
"I think I will go with you, Miss Fair-,
fax," she said, hurriedly. She would see
for herself. ' ,
"Come this way, then," Alice Fairfax
went out through the window. "Lift up
your skirts, Lady John ; I am afraid the
paths are not too dry."
"They went down here," Alice Fair
fax said, as they passed onward to a
more remote corner; "but I don't see
them now. What a nuisance ! I thought
we should have been sure of catching
them up. Ah, there Is Mr. Devereux,-I
will ask him If he has seen them. You
go straight on, Lady John, I will over
take you."
The girl darted away as she spoke,
and Audrey wandered on alone, obeying
her mechanically.
"When I find Jack he shall take me
hom," she said to herself, very slowly.
She longed to be gone, to be away from
this .horrible ball, with its laughter and
fierce gayety, and venomous tongues, hid
den behind every mask. Deep in her agi
tated thoughts, Audrey had hurried on
unconsciously. She left the ball room
behind her. She had followed along the
path In which .Miss Fairfax had set
her first. She scarcely realized that she
wag alone, she had no desire for the
girl's companionship. All at once she came
to a standstill.
What forms were those just before her,
half hidden by a rustic garden house?
Her eyes were blinded for. ad Instant,
then she saw quite clearly. That wae
Sheila Fraser's face; she had taken off
her mask, and the far-away lights shone
on it, end touched the red gold of her
hair with a shimmering glory; and that
tall, strong , figure in the gray domino I
Ah, did she not know that only too well?"
With sickening pain Audrey noted the
attitude of those two ; how Sheila's white
hands were clinging to the man's strong
ones ; and then, as though to confirm the
truth, to allow of no remaining doubt,
Audrey saw the girl's head, "with Its
wealth of ruddy gold hair, rest against
the man's breast. She caught the mur
mur of a man's voice, and then the an
swer that Sheila gave, clear and shrill as
a bell, "Oh, Jack! Jackt my darling!"
and then, with a cry of despair, she turn
ed and sped away on, on, unheeding,
unconscious, till suddenly her strength
went and she stumbled against something
or some one, and she knew no more;

An American whose business; fre

an amusing conversation bet week the
driver and conductor of a public 'bua

The 'bus was fairly crowded, bo tne
American climbed to . the top, where,
shortly after taking his seat, he ob
served a perr;n In peculiar garb, with
a red turban. There was a leaden sky
overhead and a slow, drizzling rain,

the exception In the British metropolis.
As the conductor came to the top the
red-turbaned person, evidently an In

"Wot sort of a chap Is that?" asked
the driver of the conductor.
"I fancies that 'e's one of them fel

"Worships the sun, eh !" repeated th
driver, with a shiver. "Then I suppose)
