You will not re- ’pent, you will not regret it 3” “1 mean it," she saidâ€"“no stroll- ing player’s child shall be lord of Lancewood. I shall never repent or regret my decisionâ€"it is for the best.” And that Was the sin of her life- time. Once before she had said the same thing, but it was in the hurried passion of the hour, when she was goaded past all endurance. Now there was no anger, no passion. She stood under the calm summer sky, the world at. rest, the wind whispering of peace, the flowers of Heaven. She had time to reflect, to deliberate, to judge calm~ ly; and she decided that things should remain as they wereâ€"that the heir of Luncewood should not regain his in- heritance; and so she committed the sin of her life-time.

It is for. you to decide.” l She looked at him with sad dreamy leyee, his meaning quite lost upon her. “It can all be remedied, Miss Nee- lie.” he said. “You have but to say the word, and I will undo the evil. I will go at once to America and bring the boy back. I can say that he was stolen by tramps or gypsies. I goan fabricate a story that will have every appearance of truth. I can say that he was stolen for the sake of the reward that would be offered. Lady Neslle would be so delighted to recover him that she would be quite content to pardon the theft. I should tell her that those who had stolen the child awaited her promise of full pardon before returning him. Trust me- even as I have done this dt-ed, I will find some way to undo it. Miss Nee- lie, everything rests now in your} 'I really meant it. I forget if I felt sorry afterward. I only remember that I thought anything better than to let Lancewood fall into such unworthy hands’ His face brightened. “Then perhaps, after all, Ihave not displeased you 3” he said. "Remember that I would die for you, and that death would be more acceptable to me than your displeasure.” “I did not think much of it after- ward,” she replied. “Gerald, my brain is not clearâ€"I am dazed. I forget if “I did not: mean you to act as you have done,” she said. “That day I was mad with shame and misery, but I did not mean itâ€"I swear I did not, And I did not think you would take me at my word.” He looked at her sadly. “I understand.

The marvellous successes of Dr. Chase’s great family remcdies prove to all the world that no disarase is too se- vere or of too long standing to yield to these great, prescriptions.
