The pain very severe around her heart and she was mch troubled with fluttering and palpitation. She was completely worn out in body and was â€" tixted and drowsy all the time. Her mother aud myself became seriously alarmed as she was constantly getting worse. "Last July my daughter Sarah, a teacher in ths Public School at Kingsville, Ont., came hame to spend her vacation, and finding her sister in such & distressing and danl%erous gondition, said, I am taking Doan‘s Kidney Pills: and they are doing me much good, I have mboxr with me and will divide with Polly, which ske did. By the time Polly had finished the Ralf box her improvement in health was go marked, that L procured more from Mr. Fraleigh‘s drug store. Her full restoration to health and spirits was papid and continuous. She has now none of Her former dangerous, painful and distressing Bidney troubles. She eats and sleeps well, and for more than a month has enjoyed the most wigorous health, She has not lost a day at school since sho commenced taking the pills, and has so much faith in them since they mestored her to full health that she wants me to keeg six boxes in the house all the time, in ease they should‘ be needed and not available. Ker cure has been so wond frful she thinks they will cure any compl‘aint. If the pills had cost $10.00 a box, I wouid not have begrudged the money.

She hurried on hef arrangements. and in twelve days sailed from Liverâ€" pool, in a White Star liner, urderâ€". ‘the name of Robson ; but she was not aware that among the secondâ€"class passenâ€" gers was the private detective who had watched her for Lance Darrell, and who did not lose sight of her till she had located herself in a thirdâ€"rate boardingâ€"house in New York. There was not much fear of her ever daring to return to England. And at home there was so much to be done in those days and weeks that followed the return from Saxleby Chase ! â€" " All," said that wicked Lance, ‘"as busy as O1@ Nick in a gale !" . 3 NT NOC d e NNE t o en e c ts There was the yacht to get ready for a long cruise, and a twoâ€"yearâ€"old beauty she was as ever the Clyde turned out. There.â€"was all the personal outfits, and the " wedding toggery," TLance called it, to be got,. and the important legal matters to be pushed on, Ana got to a hearing before the courts rose for the Long. The urgency of the case, and Mr. Kynaston‘s energetic expedition, won success ; and quite in the last fey days of the term, before a judge in‘ the chancery division, the case of " Guise v. Mortimer" was heardâ€"a case in which comedy, tragedy, and romantic interest were so mingled and out of the way as to attract consiâ€" derable attention, and the court was crowded by a fashionable and interestâ€" ed audience. For form‘s sake and convenience, Kynaston had arranged with Mr. Renâ€" ‘shaw to give a watching (or rather. in fact., a consenting) brief to counsel on behalf of the defendant, Mrs. Morâ€" timer : but of course the suit was pracâ€" tically an undefended one, since no defence was made, and the deed signâ€" ed by Aldyth admitted guilt, and reâ€" signed all charge or claim to the cusâ€" tody of the infant petitioning. â€" The eminent Q.C. retained plaintiff had therefore no . v{ task. In a concise, pithy sp stated the petition to his cli¢ Coralie Louis Charles Guise, and4 toid the story simply and shortly. touching as lightly as possible on Mrs. Mortitâ€" mer‘s unwomanly conduct roward Lance Darrell. 4 t But nothing could veil the hard facts of a moral depravity that had for years systematically attempted aâ€"diaâ€" bolical crime ; and well might those present (and there were all the Saxleâ€" by notabilities who had known the wâ€"=»â€" man) shudder at the story, even while they were forced to â€"smile at the dayâ€" ing imposition of the layâ€"figure, airl the whole madcap escape of a harunmiâ€" scarum young fellow, which had been the primary cause of the «discovery and defeat of the crime. The petition prayed simpiy tnat Ns defendart. as being an utterly unfit person, might be entire® deprived of the care of the infant, and the said irfant consigned, instead, to the joint guardianship of Mr. Richard Kynas: ion, her next friend, and Mr. Lance Temple Darrell, her afianced husband, who was the first witness called to prove the charges alleged against Aldâ€" yth and the fact that Coralie Guise had never died at all, but was alive and in court, ready to be identified and give her evidence, should his lordship desire the latter. Lance gave only absolutely necesâ€" sary details of the story, and of caurse made no mention whatever of his own feelings of aversion to the layâ€"figure that had olaved so curiously proâ€" minent a part, nor of its history ; he said only that this layâ€"figure belonged to the niece of his old friend, Mr Kynaston, and that its close and most singular likeness to Miss (Guise had suggested the bold subterfuge by which he had carried out the plan he had formed. The next witness was Frank, 1t rorroborate and prove receiving Cora: from hbhis friend‘s hands at Rayton on the night of the twentieth of July. Dorothy Marsh followed, and she in addition, eorroborated the statement of the admission of guilt made to Lance by Mrs. Mortimer. Then Sir Hubert Fenton gave Ahis esvidence, which was very weighty, as bhe emphatically stated that in his opinion, when Miss Guise was brougat to him, though happily her bheart anc corstitution were sourd, Ne aCocvree debility was the result of utter physi cal mismanagement, and the long in constant mental pressure of dread a~ ing on a sensitive, highly arganize svstem. f 1UC 2 SCY * No, my lord ; she has gone abroad 1 am informed by my learned friend.‘ «©That is so, my lord," said the other as the judge looked inquiringly to him "©having practically got the safe cus tody of the infant, and obtained a ful resignation of all claims by that docu ment. we did not wish to prevent he Aeparture or take criminal proceediv? against her, unless she ever attempt to return to this country."
