,1)oat at La Repent ie, and take me on cboard the sloop. They will put me on shore at Liverpool; once there, I will live as I best can. You will not refuse to save my life 1' M • Your mother nursed me,' replied Mme. de Montevrain: ' I will do what you ask.' "She kept him concealed for three days, after which he took his departure, as he had said. "But the sick man had got,up during the night; a prey to his jealous madness, he kept watch. He surprised his wife crossing the cellar, carrying bread, and necessary food to the unhappy convict. Mme* de MonteVrain saw him crouching beneath the casks; he was spying. " Seeing himself discovered, he wanted to strangle Latour. " The latter seized the invalid's weak arms, and tied them with his handker. chief. -■ " This scene brought on a crisis in M. da Montevrain to which Latour owed his flife. M. de MouteVrain remained several days between life and death; at last I could say that he was out of danger. 1 " A dull sullenness succeeded his usual violence. He seemed to have lost the use of his tongue. "It was then that Mme. de Monte* xyrain, who was enceinte at the time hei liusband fell ill, saw the time of her con finement approaching. "I myself announced the good news to M. de Montevrain; he did not say a ■ word, but his eye glittered with a strange ! light. ■ | " In vain, since M. de Montevrain had been restored to health, had the poor woman, who lavished every care upon him, endeavoured to recall to him the scene in the cellar, in order to show him the true facts of the case. "• I do not remember,' the monoma niac would say, and hurry quickly awiiy. j " One day she thought he seemed more calm: " * You have not forgotten,' she asked him: • the story of my foster brother, the son of Latour, my father's farmer ?' i •••What story?' " * You know that he was a soldier V "•Was he?' '" Condemned to death, he succeeded In escaping——' j "' So much the better for him.' " * What would you have done if at that crisis he had implored you to hide him?' "' I don't know; why these questions ?' "' Because one evening, jiuring your illness, you came into the cellar ' 111 Enough I' cried M. de Montevrajn, in a terrible voice, and rushed away. " Madame de Montevrain never dared to broach the subject again. " One evening, a servant came in a great hurry to fetch me. : "Mme. de Montevrain gave to the world a little girl, whom the nurse took away to an adjoining room. " This nurse was unknown to us ; M. de Montevrain had persisted in choosing her himself, and I was astonished that he should have given the preference to a : stranger. "When Mme. de Montevrain re- j covered consciousness, she asked for her . child. I went into the next room; it , was empty ; but on the mantel-piece, I ! perceived a letter written in haste. "This is what the letter said: " • Madame,— j Since I surprised you with a ' lover, whom you had dared to introduce ■ into my house during my illness, I have j waited impatiently to separate myself , from a woman who only inspires me with I horror. I have endured your presence, I have resigned myself to seeing you daily, because it was the sole means I had of making sure of my vengeance. I can leave you now ; but leaving, 1 take away your child. You shall never see it again. Live alone, and for ever ac cursed.' " The poor mother was overwhelmed. 14 ♦ Run, hasten, I beg you,' she cried : •seek for traces of him. The man is mad. I want my child.' " The servants and peasants scattered in every direction. It was impossible to find any traces of M. de Montevrain. I understood then why he had taken for a nurse a stranger, who, having no attach ment to the country, would have no ob jection to exile. " On my return to the chateau a new crisis declared itself. " Mme. de Montevrain was the mother of twins, and Clotilde was the second. "It seemed as if God did not wish to leave the poor woman quite desolate. Clotilde, from that time forward, was feverythingto her; her whole life was bound up in that child. As Mme. de Montevrain's sole confidante, I have tried to make her forget that Clotilde has a sister. Now, what the connection is between the story I have just told you, and the events that have crossed your happiness, I am ignorant. One man only could throw light upon the question." « Who is that ?'" " M. de MontevrainJ" Robert struck his forehead. " You are right, doctor, but where to find him ?" "Oh!" replied M. Marbeau ; "there is a city where all the secrets of the world find their way. Telegraph wires teach it from every corner of this planet. At Paris you will find out what has be come of M. de Montevrain. It is a matter of time—and money. "Well!" said Robert: "let us start for Paris." " What! you want me to go to Paris ?" " What do you think I should do with out your help ?" " But I have never been out of the Country. If I go, I shall fancy that I shall never come back." Robert began to beg the good old countryman. " I entreat you, M. de Marbeau, make this sacrifice for me. You know M. de Montevrain. You will be able to speak to him. What could Ido alone ?" M. Marbeau heaved a deep sigh. 11 Well," he said sorrowfuliv: " cmca U ■t\ xuELsiyjEt "s"hoei¥g~for^e Jtli ■«"> COAOH FACTORY John Paget. Junr, PROPRIETOR. Shoeing promptly and efficiently performed.

must be, come along." "I"' Helped by his cook, he took nine hours to pack his trunk; after which, with a stiff 1 back, he exclaimed: J "I am ready." Robert de la Mire, on arriving in Paris, i went to visit the general's friends ; he I knocked at every door s asking for the as , sistance of all who might have influence. Eight days after, through agents de spatched in all directions, he learnt that M. de Montevrain, under the name of j M. Clavel, was occupying a little house at the end of a garden, in the Avenue dcs Tevnes. They told him at the same time that there was a young girl with him. " You see," said M. Marbeau: " our suppositions were erroneous ; the young girl is evidently Clotilde's twin sister and the one whom the Count de San-' Vitale rescued must be your betrothed." This last blow overwhelmed Robert. II We have nothing more to do here,' 1 he murmured ;" return to Laleu, doctor ; as for me, I shall go to Africa to try if I cannot get some bullet from a Bedouin's rifle to rid me of my life." M. Marbeau made a gesture of disap probation. " Wait," said he:" I must see M. de Montevrain all the same. I have duties to perform to others as well as to you." "What duties?" 111 have brought with me Latour's cor respondence, the convict, whose safety cost our poor friend so dear; all the letters he addressed to his mother and to Mme. de Montevrain. I have them here to lay before M. Clavel. Something tells me that my task is not yet finished.*' " Go then ; I will wait for you.'' The doctor was absent a long time ; he only returned at five o'clock in the even ing. The day appeared interminable to Robert de la Mire, who took up a book only to throw it aside, or lit a cigar only to let it out. Sometimes in despair, sometimes fancying he saw a glimmer of hope, he counted the minutes and scanned every carriage that passed be fore the door. At last, the doctor appeared. " Come, 1' he said, quite out of breath ; 11 we are going to dine with M. de Mon tevrain."' "And Clotilde?" cried Robert. 11 Clotilde is found." "But then the woman down in the country; the woman who is at the chateau ?" " That is Ludka, the opera-singer from Milan. CHAPTER VI. Genera! de la Mire was very much surprised to find his old country house, which was scarcely more than a huge barn with a pigeon-house attached to it, suddenly invaded by the numerous com pany his son brought back with him. There were M. de Montevrain, Clo. tilde, M.M. de Rieux, and Philippe d'At tigny. The doctor had to tell again from th« very beginning the story of Latour, and the birth of the twin sisters. As soon as Robert went up to his room, Francis Bibardcame to him. , "Well!" he said to him: "did you follow my instructions ?" "Yes, sir." "What has happened at Montevrain ! during my absence ?" " The sportsman who rescued Made moisolle de Montevrain has dined nearly I every evening at the chateau." " And what do the people of the house say ?" "They say that the sportsman will marry Mademoiselle." " Is that all ?" Francis Bibard cast a frightened glance at his master. " No, sir," he murmured. " What more do you know ?" "I know —that is to say, I am not sure—but it seems to me—" j " Come, speak up; you see that lam ' waiting impatiently." Francis approached his master. "You remember the night when— when you came out ?" "Yes—well?" " And the man you chased ?'' "Well?" "I was only able to see him for an in stant, but I believe all the same that it was this sportsman." This time, Robert thought he saw the whole plot. "Verylikely,"he observed: "but then there is the matter of the hand." "But, sir,"replied Bibard : "a hand is a hand, and a glove is a glove." J "You are right," cried Robert; "and by this evening I shall know the truth. If you have not made a mistake you shall have thirty francs a month instead of twenty. Francis went down the stairs four steps at a time, and ran to announce to Madame Bibard that his fortune was made. During the day Ludka saw Doctor Marbeau arrive, and remain shut up for a long time with Mme. de Montevrain. X San Vitale dined at the chateau that evening. Shortly before the adventurer arrived, Ludka let her fingers stray over the piano, playing pieces of Clotilde's, which happened to be in the portfolio." Madame de Montevrain entered, and taking up a piece of embroidery, sat down by the window. Ludka remarked that she was unusu ally troubled and constrained. "My child," said Mme. de Monte vrain to her : " are you careful always to pray to God for your father every even ing, as I have so often taught you to do ?" " Certainly," replied Ludka: "it is a duty I have never missed." "And you did well, my child, for Heaven has granted our prayers." Ludka trembled. " I have had news of M. de Monte vrain ; he has been living for a long time in a suburb of Vienna, where he has brought up your sister. (To h continued). [A CARD]. MBS A.. C.

WALKER'S BOT FL.Y REMEDIES xr^ARRANTED TO CURE ANY HORSE AFFECTED WITH BOTS, IF GIVEN ™ IN TIME, and to Improve the Condition of the Horse, whether he has Bot« or not, given in two drenches. I LOCAL TESTIMONIALS.



Gray's road, Amberley, September 6,1892. Mr Walker, Sir,—Your Bot Fly Remedy reached me in due course. I gave them to one that was very bad, and as I had lost a splendid young horse, I got very anxious, as the stomach presented one mass of bots in all stages, with the I coating eaten away. I am glad to tell you tfiat the one I drenched according to your instructions got quite better, and is now at his work amain. I would highly recommend farmers to use the same in time, «s I am satisfied that they will save and greatly improve the condition of the horse. Send m« some of your Bot Fly Preventive for the summer, and oblige, —Yours ve»y respectfully, Edward Watson. Rillinchy, September^ 14, 1892. Mr Robert Walker, Christchurch, Dear Sir—Your Bot Fly Remedies have proved a complete success with my horse. He had been very bad for some tima ; the coat dry, a tight skin, got very low in condition, and got scarce able to walk. I quite expected he would die, as he had all the symptoms of one that my neighbour lost with the bots. I gave your remedies as you directed, with the following re sults :—The horse, after gettilng the late bottle, became very pained, lying down rolling and groaning with pain, in the paddock. He began to cough very hard, each cough bringing away a thick humor ous matter from the nostrils, the like of which I never saw before coming from a horse. This continued all next day, which lam cerain were the bots burst ing from the ffects of the Remedy, and coming up through the nostrils by the effects of the cough. After this ceased, thefhorse began to mend, and in six days I had him at work again, heartyjand well. You should make these Remedies public, so that farmers might knew there is a remedy for this destructive pest. Send me some Preventive for keeping off the fly n summer, —And oblige, Robert McTorraw. Ambeiley, July 26, 1892. To Mr Robert Walker, Christchurch. Sir,—Having lost three good horses, and on examination found the stomach of two completely eaten through, and the whole of the stomach thickly covered with bots



in all stages of transformation, I hecame much alarmed about the rest < f my stock. I used your Bot Fly Remedies on one that was very bad, and had every symp tom of dying, and in three days she was completely cured, and is doing well. I believe it is the proper thing, and [if given at the proper time we shall have no more deaths from the Br>t Fl>. David Brown. Brookside, December 12, 1892. Mr Walker,— Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the wonderful effects of your Bot-fly Remedies. 1 had a valuable horse which got very bad and gradually got worse, I quite believed he would have died. He kept losing flesh, got a dry coat, tight skin, careworn expression of the eye, a cough, running at the nos trils, and could scarce walk, I got your remedies and gave them as directed, with i the most beneficial results. The second day after getting the last drench he began i to pass bots in handfuls, some of which i I herewith hand you. Immediately after : passing the bots he began to mend, and is now as fat as butter, hearty and well, ' thanks to Walker's Bot-fly Remedies. i Any who doubt them send them to me, and I will convince them that your reme i dies are a boon to the community and the suffering horse. Every horse should have them in the season, as lam confi dent if usedthere will be no more deaths from the bot-fly. Uce this as you please. H. Lovell Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August 2, 1892. Mr Walker, Sir, —I am glad to bear testimony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly Remedies. One of my best horses became very bad ; the skintight, the eye lifeless and a bad colour, and got low in condition. Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became unable to lift his feet, or do any more. We had to help him into the stable. I gave him your Remedies, and the treatment you prescribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and is now at his work, hearty and well. I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. Robert Thompson.
