A soft, sweet, childlike smile crept ever the fa of the precious three as

A fortnight later Mr. Gilbey present- ed to his delighted associates the fo}- lowing dispatch from Gaskell, dated San Francis

When Mr. Gaskell returned to New York, he said he had made a very care- ful examination of the mine and would be willing to accept an option for it if the price were fixed at $250,000 instead of double that sum. This radical cur- tailment of their figures somewhat dampened the ardor of the three confed- erates, but finally the price was fixed at $325,000 cash, with many protests on the part of Messrs. Marble and Gilbey. Mr. Oswald had throughout taken only gach interest in the matter asa friend might manifest. His name did not occur on any of the papers given Mr. Gaskell, and on thts occasion, as on the others, ke took little part in the arrangements.
In due time the purchase money was paid over, and Messrs. Marble and Gil-
bey, each with $100,000 to his credit, decided that they would seize the op- portunity to satisfy a long felt ambition to explore southern America, not in the least—they were careful to assure the cynical Oswald—because they were fear- ful as to what view the cold judicial eye of the law might take of their ac- tion.
Mr. Oswald, who, as stated, had pur- posely kept in the background and in consequence contented himself with a smaller share of the profits, remained in New York.

Six months later Messrs. Gilbey and Marble were in the City of Mexico, wearied beyond the power of words with the vaunted charms of that coun @y, and anxious only once more within sight of New York. Mauy a ime they echoed the senti:uent of the

to point out this s and indicate this pathway to her daught There are too many unhappy—too Mmatiy un healthy women in the world. At every
yatherine where women meet alone, the gathering w
torv is heard of sickness and nervousness and despondency
The woman who suffers in this way makes a mistake to consult the average obscure physician. If she does so, the chances ate that she is told that her troubi is nery ness or insommia ot indigestion or heart trouble. It does not happen very often that this diagnosis is correct. fortunate chance she is told the truth, that she is suffering from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism, she is told at the same time that she must submit to the obnoxious examinations and local treatment so embarrassing to a sensitive wotman, All this is unnecessary. ;
The wise woman will seek the advice of seme specialist of world wide reputation. Dr. R. V. Pierce is such a man. For thifty years he has been chief consulting physt- cian to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. During that time, with the assistance of a staff of emi- nent physicians, he has treated thousands of ailing women. He is the inventor of that wonderful medicine for women known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. This medicine acts directly on the delicate and important organs that make maternity pos- sidle. Ite cures all weakness, disease, in- ternal ulceration and inflammation and de- bilitating drains. It has transformed thou- sands of weak, suffering women into healthy, happy, robust wives. Itis for sale by all good medicine dealers.

In reply to his inquiry he said he had compieted his investigation and would take some Whether this was merely a blind
whether he changed his mind I don’t know, but after he had seen the other descend the mine and had had breakfast he took the map which you gaye him out of his valise and proceed- ed very carefully to compare it—first, with the boundaries of the No. 1 mine, which some Joafing miner pointed out tohim at his request, and then with the map of the same mine hanging in the company’s office and which the manager had stupidly omitted to re- move.
‘“‘As nearly as can be computed, it took that fellow just about five min- utes to detect the trick. Of course this is mere guesswork, for the man himself was as silentasa clam. The profundity of his silence when he unraveled our tangled plots arouses my admiration.
‘‘After he learned the game he plac- idly descended mine No. 2, the one of which he really held the option. He remained in that mine just 16 hours, and all that time the manager conelud- ed he was in bed and asleep. I’m sure I don’t know why, except on the as- sumption that a man must sleep some time.
‘* With the assistance of an old Mexi- can miner, who practically lives down in that mine in one of the shafts, he thoroughly explored the mine, more es- pecially at that part which is in a straight Jine with the rich vein in No. 1.
‘“‘He bad to all appearances some
some
| queer theory about that vein, for he and the old Mexican worked for more than
12 hours cutting in its direction. The result of these efforts was (it was ascer-
tained after the purchase) that while
the Mexican slept Gaskell] struck a con- tinuation of the vein belonging to No. 1. Having satisfied himself that he had struck the true vein and after taking out several specimens of the ore he care- fuily covered up his ‘find,’ awoke the old man and returned to the surface. **You will understand the discovery
Gaskell had made when I tell you that
from the vein in No. 1 to where it was identified in No. 2 is just 700 yards, of which 550 run through the land of No. 2, so that eleven-fourteenths of the great vein belong tothe mine that Gaskell bought.
‘* Well, gentlemen, Gaskell cold that mine to his syndicate—it was his own venture—for $750,000, half cash, half stock, and his syndicate sold it to the public for $1,500,000. The new com- pany has already taken $500,000 out of the mine in four months’ working, with the prospect of taking out 20 times as much in the next two years. The Scots- man’s profit of $325,000 taken in stock is now worth $1,000,000 in the mar- ket.””
Marble and his associates gazed at each other fixedly for a minute, and, although their eyes spoke volumes, no word was uttered. The situation was altogether t » for words. one impulse they rose in grim silence from the table. ‘‘I find the air in this room suffocating,’’ finally ejaculated Gilbey. ‘‘Let us go.’’
As the now silent trio passed into the vestibule in making their exit to Fifth avenue Oswald shattered his preternat- oral calm by ejaculating, ‘‘Great Jupi- ter!’’ The exclamation was not surpris- ing, for there, coming toward them, was Mr. Gaskell, the man they had done their best to swindle, and his bride, the beautiful and queenly Madge. For a moment a wavering in the ranks of the three was perceptible and just the suspicion of a desire to stampede, but the expression on the expert’s face feaseured them.
‘*My dear,’’ he said, addressing his
wife, ‘‘let me present to you some friends cf mine who once rendered me a very great service—somewhat inad- vertently, it is true’’—a faint shiver shook the three—‘‘but nevertheless a genuine service. They helped me to win what I wanted most on earth.’*’ And his eyes rested fondly on his wife.
Mrs. Gaske!! commented to her hus- band afterward on the strange, shy modesty which almost prevented the three gentlemen from meeting her gaze, and his smiling reply was, ‘‘They couldn’t stand the battery, dear.’’
After the three friends had escaped into the street, Oswald, probably for the first time in his life, wore a crest- fallen air. ‘‘Boys,’’ he said, ‘‘he carries too many gups for us all round. Just think of it! He has never even mentioned to her the—to put it mildly—somewhat peculiar part we took in that mining deal.’’
‘‘How do you know that?’’
‘*Because you can always tell by the expression in a woman’s eyes when you are presented to her how her husband has been in the habit of speaking about you to her. I would rather have faced a hair trigger revolver than those great gray eyes if she had known our game.”’
Mr. Gaskell has taken other 90 day options since his marriage, and some of them have proved very valuable, but he never expects to find one to equal that marvelous pair by which he won both fortune and bride in 1888.

The Queen Bee,
According to Father Brown, ina pa- per read before the Scientific society at Preston, a queen bee sometimes lays at the rate of two eggs a minute, and the total weight of the eggs isone and a half times that of her own body on a summer day. As she lives four or five years she must lay about one and a half riillions in the course of her life. Her eyes are smaller than those of the other to long residence in the r sting is 800 times smaller in diameter than a pin, and as she can seldom draw it out after stinging a per- s0n she leaves it in and dies afterward, —London Times.

Japanese Ingenuity.
The Japanese are ruthless in their tampering with nature. If they decide that they want a bird or an animal of a certain shape or color, they set about inanufacturing the article, so to speak, by the exercise of exceedingly clever in- genuity and untiring patience.
Here, for example, is how the white
produced. They seiect a pair of grayish birds and keep them in a white cage in a white room, where they are attended by a person dressed in white. The mental effect on a seriva of generations of birds results in com- pietely white birds. —New York Timex.
How Japanese Catarrh Cure Cures Nasal Catarrh.
Japanese Catarrh Cure is a penetrating, eoothing, and healing pomade, which is in-
serted up the nostrils by a small camel's hair pencil. The heat of the y melts this pomade and the patient breathes the soothing medica- tion through the nostrils, and the nasal chan- nels open up. The stuffed-up feeling in the head leaves, and the person can breathe natur- ally through the nose. The dull pains across the head cease. Continual use for a short time soothes the mucous membrane until the eore- ness and inflammation are all gone. The bad odor of the breath passes away, and the lost senses of smell and hearing returo. The drop- ping in the throat is permanently checked, and the nose does not stop up towards night. The discharge from the nose grows less and less, and finally stops altogether. It does not drive the disease into the throat or lungs or into the ears, asso often is done by washes, douches and the temporary relief catarrh powders an
snuffs which contain cocaine and other fatal alkaloids, which relieve at the time, but give rise toa false security. Japanese Catarrh Cure is a thorough antiseptic, is cleansing and heal- ing in its actien, aud soothes the minute 7 plied. Six boxes are absolutely guaranteed to
