FORMER WATERLOO Mr. and Mrs. Henry N. Becker of Tavistock visited relatives in Waterâ€" loo over the weekâ€"end. Mr. Becker until a year ago was accountant at the Waterloo branch of the Bank of Montreal when he was promoted to a similar position at the Windsor branch. He was at the latter place only a few months when he was again given a well deserved promoâ€" tion as manager of the branch bank at Tavistock. ADVERTISING In The CHRONICLE BRINGS RESULTS. U\ BANKER PROMOTED him about the discovery of the noteâ€" book, and he could advise her how significant was its pawning, and how best this new evidence mhould be used. Besides, his awakened pasâ€" sion whispered, how about himself; how could he hope to regain her favor if this sentimental, milkâ€"andâ€" water affection of her for Paul was continually stimuilated by lettors to and fro. No, no; the thing must be stopped, and stopped for all time. Adoiph, however, was not so simple or so rash as to entangle himself with the criminal law by interfering with the mails. He soon devised a plan which accomplished his purâ€" pose without exposing him to its leâ€" gal consequence. But the intelligence he had thus gleaned soon brought him mental diequiet. If Constance aand Paul Governor Strain still retained the nominal headship of the firm of "Strain and Breen." As senior partâ€" ner, he signed many papers which Adolph laid before him, and seldom even glanced at them. So Adoiph prepared a letter that offfeial to send all letters addressed by Paul Breen to Miss Constance Sanderson, and all letters directed to Paul Breen in a feminine hand, to the firm of Strain and Breen, and explained briefly that it was a "family matâ€" ter,"â€"that the young girl was becoming too much interested in the condemned murderer, and the corre «aponilence was harmful to both parties. Then, selecting a moment when the Governor was rushed with busiâ€" ness, _ Adoiph â€" placed the â€" letter among a batch to be singed. John Strain‘s signature was atâ€" tached without a glance at the letâ€" ter‘s contents, and Adoiph took the first opportunity thereafter to preâ€" sent it In: person at the prison. The warden was all complaisance. "Anyâ€" thing to oblige the Governor, of course, Mr. Breen. 1 know. A deliâ€" cate matter, no doubt. Don‘t «ay a word. Letterâ€"writing does play the devil in prison, for a fact. The Govâ€" ernor‘s authorization, on entering here, have to give us full discretion over their mailâ€"a very necessary rule, sir, in view of all the plotting that‘s going on." Adoiph had acted just in time. The vefy first letter of Constance, thus delivered over to him, containâ€" ec the story of the finding of the noteâ€"book. Adolph read this passage with the keenest curiosity and apâ€" prehension. "I do not know," Constance wrote, "that [ am doing wisely to bother you about a little happening that may mean nothing after all; but Mr Twigg advises that I should take adâ€" vantage of every trifie chance puts in my way in the hope that it may lead to unravelling the mystery of your case. A few days ago, while Millicent and I were paesing a pawnâ€" broker‘s, we saw among the things in the window the little noteâ€"book I gave youâ€"the purple one with silver corners. We went in and ‘bought it. O: course I know you never pawned it, and 1 am trying in vain to guese how it came into the man‘s hands. Did you ever have your pocket picked?â€"or had you lost the book? It seems to contain a lot of scientific notesâ€"figures, letters and rough sketches of apparatus, of which I can make nothing. But Mr. Twigg says it may lead to some discoverâ€" ies; and 1 hope, oh, I hope that it may possibly revive your memory. I shall await your answer before doâ€" ing anything further about the matâ€" ter, nor will I refer to it again unless your wish, for I wouldn‘t trouble you for the wold." # Adoiph congratulated himself upon his foresight in interrupting the correspondence. But the knowlâ€" edge thit the book had ‘been Paul Breen‘s, and Constance‘s suggestion that it might stimulate his cousin‘s latent recollections gave him deep uneasiness. * "If they once find out that the book was pawned on the very day of the murder," he mused. "and, of all _ incomprehensible things, in Ediths‘ family nickname, there will be trouble. Besides, let Paul get posâ€" session of itâ€"those fragmentary notes may start a train of thoughts "A few years ago, following the birth of my first child," writes Mrs. J. Johnâ€" son, 157 Samuelson St., Gait, "I was left a wreck. I developed nerve trouble. My blood seemed to be thin as water. 1 was disheartened and weak. My mother %;t me to begin on Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. 1 began in a halfâ€"bearted wayâ€"but what a blessing they proved themselves to be ! 1 felt so much better." If you are tired and run down this Spring you need a tonic. Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills are a famous prescription conâ€" taining iron and other effective elements They enrich and purify the blood and increase bodily strength.â€" Don‘t wait till you get worse. Get them today at any druggist‘s." Be sure and say "Dr. Wilâ€" lams‘" so that the druggist will know exactly what you want. 102 NERVOUS AND _ DISHEARTENED Mrs. J. Johnson, of Galt, Blesses Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills (Tonic) A Fine Spring Tonic leading to an explosion that will blow me out of court and him out of prison. But matters are safe for the present. Paul‘ on not hearing from Constance, will conclude that she has become weary of him; and Conâ€" stance, on not hearing from Paul, will think that he is provoked by her reference to the noteâ€"book. It takes time to work out any such misunderâ€" standing, especially when letters can only be writter once a month. Meanwhile, 1 think I shall take adâ€" vantage of that Insurance Merger matter, and see how a change of scene will benefit my nerves." The long strain of the campaign, aud the worry over the problem of the noteâ€"book, had begun to tell on Adolph‘s iron constitution. With a «amile of contempt for himself, he recoguized that he had avoided seeâ€" ing hbis partner since securing his signature to the warden‘s letter, and that he feared, actually he feared, that his treachery in the matter might either have been noticed or might in some way be detected. Such physical and mental weakness, so repugnant to his own concept, could not be endured; he, therefore, welcomed the important insurance business which called him from town for two or three months. before leaving _ however, he decidâ€" ed that a close watch should be kept on Constance. Adolph‘s experience in the District Attorney‘s office had made him acâ€" juainted with many shady characâ€" tersâ€"both major and minorâ€"and he now sent for one of them, named Richard Naylor, who, he knew, had prudential reasons for being true to him. This man called himself a "Private Detective Agency," but was merely a mercenary scamp, tolerâ€" ated by the police because he was new and then useful as a goâ€"beâ€" tween. Adolph‘s instructions were terse and peremptory. "You will keep yourself informed," he said, "of the daily life of this young lady, Miss Constance Sanderson. So Jlong as she busies herself with ordinary afâ€" fairs, well and good. But if she shows some special interest, calls on the Governor. consults a lawyer, or goes out of town,. for instance, advise me at once." "Il stick cleser than a brother, and darker than her shadow," reâ€" plied Naylor, with a sideglance and a cumning smirk; and Adolph went away, satisfied that he had left this little matter, if not in good. at least in competent hands. Constance, not hearing from Paul at the nsual fime, wrote again. Anoâ€" ther delay followed, and still hearing nothing. she grew very anxious. She wondered whether her letters had gone astray. whether Paul was sick, ov â€" whether therecould be some mytsery about the book which he did not wish to reveal to her. Phineas Twigg at first advised patience. He was woll aware how prone even the most even tempered of men, under prison restraint, were to sudden bursts of passion; and he attributed the silence to resulting discipline. But when anotler month passed, aand stlll no word ‘came. io changed his opinion. "It is out of the usual order of things," he said. "If there had been no interference with events, Paul would have answered by this time. Of course, we might write to the warden; but he is a busy offfcial, with a very different view of matâ€" ters we consider of vital import ance~ * "Then what shall we do?" Conâ€" stance asked. "You and Millicent might go and see Paul. I could for you. but he might not talk freely with me. This is one of the emergencies, my child, for which 1 advised you to keep yourself free." "Yes, let us go." urged Millicent; "it will do Constance good, We can then come home by the way of Nadonk, and stay a day or so with Aunt Martha. I do &o want Conâ€" stance to know her." stance to know her." In consequence of this family council, the young girls took a train the next morning to visit Roscoe prison, as was duly reported. by the assiduous Naylor to Adotph, who had returned to town the day before owing to the critical illness of his father. The detective stated that Constance had a satchel with her, and Adoiph‘s trained judgment at once surmised that in it was the ellâ€" verâ€"bound noteâ€"book. "I want that satchel, do you understand?" he said sharply, Naylor nodded and, an hour later, was following the two girls to Roscoe. It was a bleak, rainy afternoon when Constance and Millicent atâ€" rived; so they took a cab and drove to the prison. There, they found it difficult to secure an audience with the warden. A clerk in the office told them he was very busyâ€""owing to an escape of two prisoners, one a murderer and the other an habitual criminal. What do you ladiea want, any way ?" "Paul Breen?" cried the clerk, laughing. "Why, we all want to see him. He is one of the men we‘re after. He skippei." "Skipped * "Yea,. run away; vamoosed; cut stick; gone; escaped.

Good afternoon." * would never have done such a "Come, Constance," abe insisted vallantly, "you can‘t blame him. He was innocent, and he knew they had to keep him in prison. 1 say, good for him. I admire a manly man, one who can act; not a nambyâ€"pamby, passive _ nonentity. Besides, . he wasn‘t in his normal condition when he was taken there, and it may well be that he is far worse. Why, the very sight of that dreadful place is enough to give one chronic deâ€" mentia.. Let us wait until we know more." At the station they had to wait about half an hour for their train. They took a seat upon a hard bench in the waltingâ€"room. it was houre since they had eaten, and Millicent proposed that they should have a light supper; and, when Constance leclared that she could not bear the thought of food, and showed by her manner that she would gladly be alone, went by herself goodâ€"naturedâ€" ly for a cup of tea. Constance reâ€" mained, absorbed in deep thought. ‘She had hoped so much from the journey, and now her cares were reâ€" doubled. Though her faith in Paul was unlmpaired, she realized what the effect of his flight must be upon public opinion. Then, too, there was the noteâ€"book in the satchel beside her. the newly discovered evidence which was to vindicate and restore; what use was it now? So she mused in deepest melancholy â€"when sudâ€" denly there was a scuffle behind her. She rose, and saw two men quarrelâ€" ling. But Constance had lowered her veil, and made no reply. Excelsior! A certain old lady was so concernâ€" ed about one of the villagers who was unable to write, that she perâ€" suaded the village schoolmaster to give him some lessons.

Then the younger man, seeing the transâ€" action, had descended upon him "Well. George, I suppose you are now able to read the Bible fairly easily?" ~ "Lor‘ bless you, mum." he replied, "I was out of the Bible and into the foothall news over a week ago!" \"The sight of that, makes me want to do the same thing."
