Continued from First Page. Bps were twitching and quivering, his hands, ordinarily held in the rigid pose of the English service-extended along the thigh-were clinching and working nervously, and something suspiciously like a tear waa creeping out from under the patch. Before Perry could recover from his surprise the sergeant suddenly regained his self control, hastily raised his hand in salute, saying something half articulate in reply, and turned sharply away, leaving his lieutenant gazing after him in much perplexity. That night, just after tattoo roll cali, when a little group of officers was gath? ered at the colonel's gate, they were sud? denly joined by Dr. Quin, who came from the direction of the stable where he kept his horse in rear of his own quar? ters. CoL Brainard greeted him warmly and inquired after his patient at Dun? raven. Every one noted how grave and subdued was the tone in which the doc? tor answered: **He is a very sick man, colonel, and it is hard to say what will be the result of this seizure." "You may want to go down again, doctor, if that be the case-before sick call to-morrow, I mean; and you had better take one of my horses, ni tell my man to have one in readiness." **You are very kind, sir. I think old Brian will do all the work needed. But I would like to go down at reveille, as we have no men in hospital at all now. And, by the way, is Mr. Perry here?" "I am here," answered Perry coldly. He was leaning against the railing, rather away from the group, listening intently, yet unwilling to meet or hold conversation with the man he conceived to be so inimical to his every hope and interest. "Mr. Perry," said the doctor, pleas? antly, and utterly ignoring the coldness of the young fellow's manner, "I'r. Maitland has asked to see you; and it would gratify him if you would ride down in the morning." Even in the darkness Perry feared that all would see the flush that leaped to his face. Summoned to Dunraven Ranch, hy her father, with a possibility of see? ing her! It was almost too sweet! too thrilling! He could give no reply for a moment, and an awkward silence fell on the group until he chokingly answered. **I shall be glad to go. What time?" "Better ride down early. Never mind breakfast. Miss Maitland will be glad to give you a cup of coffee, I fancy." And Perry felt as though the fence had taken to waltzing. He made no answer, striving to regain bis composure, and then the talk went on. It was Stryker who was talking now: "Has the ring been found, doctor?" "No! That is a most singular thing, and one that worries the old gentleman & great deal. It had a history; it be? longed to Mrs. Maitland's father, who was from Ireland-indeed, Ireland was her country, as it was my father's-and that ring she liad reset for her son Archie and gave it to him whea he entered serv? ice with the Lancers. It was sent home with his watch and other property from South Africa-for he died there-and old Maitland always wore it afterwards. Archie was the last of three sons; and it broke his heart." .** And the ring was lost the night of Perry's ad.. -silure there?" asked the col? onel. "Yes. Mr. Perry remembers liaving seen it on his band when the old gentle? man first came down to receive him. It was missed afterwards, and could easily have slipped off at any time, for his f?n t gers were withered with age and ?ll health. They have searched everywhere, and could find nothing of it It could easily have, rolled off the veranda on to the grass during his excitement at the time of the row, and somebody may have picked it up-either among the ranch men or among the troopers." "I hate to think that any of our men would take it," said the colonel after a pause. "I do not think any of them would, with the idea of selling it," said Stryker; "but here is a case where it was picked tip, possibly, as one of the spoils of war. I have had inquiry made throughout the troop, bot with no result so far. Do you go down again to-night, doctor?" "Not if I can avoid it. I am going now to try and sleep, ard will not rido down till daybreak unless signaled for. Gocd night, colonel; good night, all." Unless signaled for! Instinctively Perry edged closer to Lawrence, who liad stood a silent listener to the conversation, and Lawrence turned and saw him and knew the thought that must be upper? most in his mind. There was a moment o? perfect silence, and then Lawrence spoke: "Does anybody know -what the signal ?sT "Certainly," sa*.'. CoL Brainard, promptly. "Ho has explained the whole thing to me. Those were signals for him that we saw the night you were all on my gallery. It was an arrangement de? vised by their old nurse-she who came up with the carriage for Miss Maitland the other day. She had a regular old fashioned headlight and reflector, and, when Mr. Maitland was so ill as to need * doctor, used to notify Quin in that way. He sometimes failed to see it, and I liave given orders today that the guard should wake him when it is seen here? after." "Then that was what those mysterious night lights meant that we have heard so much about during the last three weeks?" asked Mr. Dana. . "Certainly," answered Brainard. "What on earth did anybody suppose they meant T To this there was no response for a moment. Then Lawrence burst out laughing.

The heavy profits which some merchants make, like the iff* ter?'st on borrowed money, eat up the earnings and prevent saving. We make no such pTofits, and those who trade with us will find their savings increase with efrery tr?de. An honest profit and an honest price is eui* idea of price and profit making. ^,ig prices and big profits ?r? not honest; We bav? nothing to do with them. We will $a*ve you! also in th? goods we supply. Good grade goods go farther than low grade* Even at a higher price they are cheapest in the long run. But we put good grade articles on the same price-letel aS tfe? loW grade. That makes them cheapest in actual cash as well s? cheapest in actual value. It takes us to make bargains ! W? are old hands at it. We know how to buy and that's how wtf have the secret of selling. We are past masters in the ancient and honorable art of bargain-making and will convince yoi! that we know our work if 3 o? give tis a c?lt Recollect that we show what we ad? vertise, that we have the goods, make the prices and mean all we advertise* No ofie talked to death. No misrepre? sentation of goods. No matter what prices others may iiiake we will beat them, and you are ?it?t Restricted to buy? ing a co?ple of yards. Do fiot be misled by dealers who shout big thifigS aiid claiiii to show what they cannot produce* We give you real and not imaginary valttd for your hard earned dollars, for next weeli we have made Special Prices i? every depart? ment. The wonderful increase in oui* trade tM? season amply justifies us in inaugurating from time to time these special low pride sal?? that have become so universally appreciated* Whilst these sales are in progress we give no consideration of profit but allow every ??ie au equal chance to secure the bargains we offer, As thousands are to hundreds so is the com? parison you can make between otif stoGk ?nd that o? others in the city. We give you qual* ity, we give you style, and we give fou th@ lowest prices. Take the hint and come to
