She was scared nearly | out of ber life," said Helm. "Sbe gut | nway from you like a wounded bird , from a snare. I never saw a face iriiire | pitiful than hers." "Much pity sbe needs, snd greatly ] like a wounded bird she nets, 1 must, say, but good riddance if she'll keep her place hereafter. I despise myself when 1 hnve to be hard with a woman, especially n pretty one. Thai girl's a saucy unil fascinating minx and as dangerous as twenty men. I'll keep a watch on her movements from this on. nnd If she gets into mischief again I'M transport her to Detroit or giie her nway to the Indians. She must stop her bight-handed foolishness." Helm'.ww that Hnmllton was tnlltlra; mere wiffid. vox et ptteteren nihil, and he fiirtlij-rinore felt that his bnbhlihH slgnltiedLno bnrm to Alice, but Hamilton surprised liim presently by allying: "I have just learned thut Lieutenant Beverley Is actually gone. Did you know of his departure." "What are you saying, fir?" Helm Jumped to. his feet, not angry, but excited. "Keep cool. You need not answer If you prefer silence or evasion. You may want to go yourself soon." Helm burst* out laughing, but quick ly growing serious said: "Has Beverley been such a drlvellng fool ns that? Are you ln earnest'.'' "Ho killed two of my scouts, wound ed another and crossed the Wabash in - . their canoe. He is going straight toward Kaskaskia." "The idiot! Hurrah for html If you catch your bare you may roast him. but catch blm llrst, governor!" "You'll Joke out of the other corner of your mouth, Captain Helm. If I Iinil out that you gave bim aid or countenance in breaking bis parole." "Aid or countenance! I never s-iw him after he walked out of this room. You guve blm a mighty sight more aid nnd countenance than I did. What are you talking about! Broke his pa- role! He did no such thing. He returned it to you fairly, as you well know. He told you be wns going." "Well, I've sent twenty of my swiftest Indians after blm to bring blm back. I'll let you see blm shot. Tbat ought to please you." "They'll ne,ver get blm, governor. I'll bet high on him against your twenty sculp lifters any day. Fltzbugh Beverley is tbe best Indian lighter, Daniel Boone and Simon Kenton excepted, In the American colonies." On her wuy home Alice met Father Beret, who turned and wulked beside her. He was su overjoyed at her release thftt be could rcareoly speak, but held her baud nn I stroked It gently while Bhe told him her story. It was beginning to rain, a steady, cold shower, when they reached ibe bouse, and for many days nnd nights thereafter the dowufull continued almost lncos- santly. "Hear child." said -Father Beret, ■topping at the gate and looking beseechingly Into Alice's face, "you must stay stannic now—stay In the house. It will bo horribly dangerous for you to pass about ln tbe village after your— after what bus happened." "Do not fear, father; I will be careful. Areu't you coming In? I'll lind you a cake and a glass of wine." "No, child—not now." "Then goodby. goodby," she snld, turning from bim to run into the bouse, "Come toon; I shall be so lonesome." On the veranda she suddenly stopped, running her Augers about ber neck uud Into her bosom. ; ;; "Oh. father. Fiitber-'-.ere., I've lost my locket!" she cried. "See If I dropped It theft. Sbe went back lo the gate, searching the ground with her eyes. Of courso she did not liud tier locket. It was miles and miles awny, close lo the heart of her lover. If she could but have known this It would bave comforted her. Beverley had intended to lenve it with Jenn, but ln bis baste and cxclle- uient he forgot. Writing the note distracted bis attention, uud so he bort Alice's picture on his In-east and lu bis heart while pursuing bis long uud perilous Journey. Pour of Hamilton's scouts enme upon Ruverley t venly miles south of Vlncennes, but having the advantage of tbem be killed two almost Immediately and, after a running tight, the other two iittruipti'd escape lu a canoe ou the Wabash. Here, Bring from a bluff, he wounded a third. Both then plunged Ueudforetuost Into tbe water, nud by '( keeping below tbe surface got uway. Tbe adventure guve Beverley new spirit and self reliance. He felt that he could accomplish anything neccs- sury to bis undertaking. In the captured pirogue be crossed the river, and, to make bis trull bard to find, sent tbo Utile craft udrlft down tbo current. Then alone, ln tbe dend of winter, he took bis bearings and struck across the dreary, houseless plain toward St. Louis. As soon as Hnmllton's discomfited scouts reported to blm he sent Long Huh', Wllb twenly picked savages armed and supplied for continuous and rapid niurcliiiig. In pursuit of Beverley. There was a large reward for bringing him In alive, a smaller one for bis scalp. When Alice heard of all this her buoyunt and happy nature seemed entirely to (jesert ber for a time. She was proud to And out that Beverley had -h-wn himself brave and capable- It touched her love of heroism—but she knew too much about Indlun wurfare to hope thut be could bolu bis own ignlnsU Long Ilnir. the wiliest and boldest of sculp hunters, and twenty ot the most experienced brave. La Hamilton's forces. He would nlmost certainly be killed and scalped or captured and brought back to be shot or hanged in Vineennei. Tbe thought chilled and curdled ber blood. Both Helm uud Father Beret tried te encourage und comfort ber by repre- I trilling the probabilities in tbe fairest light. "It's like bunting for a needle in a [ haystack, going out to lind a man In that wilderness." said Helm, with optl- j niistic el rfulnesa, "and. besides. Bev- erley is no easy dose for twenty red I niggers to take. I've seen hlin tried at worse odds than that, and he got out with a whole skin loo, Don't you fret about bim. Miss Itousslllon." Little help came to ber from attempts of this sort. She might brighten up ' for awhile, but the dark dread and the terrible gnawing nt her heart, the sinking and despairing lu hor soul, could not be cured. What added Iminensureably to her distress was the attention of I'nrns- woctii. whose wound troubled blm but a short time, lie seemed to have hud | a revelation and a chnnge of spirit j since the unfortunate renco titer and , the subsequent nursing at Alice's bund*, lie was grave, earnest, kindly, , evidently striving to piny a gentle and ; honorable part. She could feel thut he : carried a load of regret, that lie wanted to pay a full price in good for tlie evil that he bud dime. His sturdy English heart was righting itself nobly, yet Bbe but bail' understood bim until bis actions and words began to betray bis love, and then sbe bitted blm unreasonably. Realizing this, Farnswortb bore i himself more like a faithful dog than In tbe manner hitherto habitual to hhu. He simply shadowed Alice and would not be rebuffed. Never was a good soldier—for be was that from bead to foot --more lovelorn and love docile. The maiden bud completely subdued ^he man. About this time, deep In a rainy ami pitch black night, Gaspard Itousslllon came homo. He tapped on the door again and again. Alice beard, but sbe hesitated to speak or move. Wns she 1 glowing cowardly? Her heart beat . like a drum. There wus but one per- I son in all the world tbat sbe could ' think of; it was not M. Itoussillon. Ab, no; she bad well nlgb forgotten ber gigantic foster fullier. "It is I, ma cherle; it is Gaspard. my love. Open tbe door," came In u booming liulf whisper from without. "Alice, Jean, it ls your Papa Housslllon. my dears. Let mc ln." Alice was at the door ln a minute, unbarring it M. Housslllon entered, armed to the teeth, the water dribbling from bis buckskin Clothes. "Pour!" he exclaimed. "My tbront ls like dust." Ills thoughts were diving into the stores untfer tbe floor. "I uui fa_nisbed. Dear children, dear little ones! They"are glad to see papa! Where is your iiiainniir." He bad Alicetfi bis arms and Jean clung to bis legs. Mme. Kousslilon, to be sure of no mistake, lighted a lump witb a brand that smoldered on the hearth and beld It up; then. satisUed as lo her husband's Identity, set lt on a shelf und flung herself into tbe affectionate group with clumsy abandon, making a great noise. "Ob. my denr Gnspard!" she cried as she lunged forward. "Gnspard. Gaspard!" Her voice fairly lifted tlie roof, her great weight, burled wllb such force, overturned everybody, and all of them tumbled In u heap, the rotund aud solid dame silting on top. "Ouf! Not so Impetuous, my dear," puffed M. Itousslllon, freeing himself from her unpleasant pressure und scrambling to his feet. "Itenlly you must have fured well In my absence, luadntne; you are much heavier." He laughed and lifted her up as If sbe had been a child, kissing ber resonantly. llis gun bad fallen with u great clatter. He took It from the floor und examined It to see If It hnd been Injured, then set It In u corner. "I am nl'i-aid we have been making (oo much noise." suid Alice, speaking very low. "There Is u patrol guard every nlgbt now. If they should hear you"— "Sh!" whispered M. Itousslllon. "We will be very slill. Alice, ls there something to cut und n drop of wine hnudy? 1 huve come many miles. I am tired, hungry, thirsty-zlff!" Alice brought Bums cold roast venison, a loaf and a bottle of cluret. These she set before blm on a little tnblc. "All, this Is comfort," he said after be bud gulped a flill cup. "Have you all been well?" Then he begnn to tell where he hnd been, what he hnd teen aud the many things be bad done. A French mail must babble while be euts und drinks. A little wine makes blm eloquent. He talks with bis bands, shoulders, eyes. Mine. Itoussillon. /lice anil Jean, wrapped ln furs, huddled around blm to bear. He was very entertaining, and tbey forgot the patrol until u noise slurtled them. It was tbe low of a cow. Tbey laughed mid the muster of the bouse softened his voice. M. Housslllon hnd been the guest of a great Indlun chieftain wbo was called the Gate of tbe Wubush because be controlled tbo river. The chief wus an old uciiunlutunce and treated him well.

No enve in the depth of earth was ever darker than that room, Tbe patrolmen could not see one another or know what to do. but M. Housslllon laid about hlin with the strength of a giant. His blows sounded as if thoy smashed bones. Men fell heavily thumping on the floor where he rushed along. Some one tired a pistol, and by Its Hash they all saw him, but instantly the darkness closed again, and before tbey could get their bearings be was out and gone, his great bulking form making its way easily over familiar ground where his would be captors could have proceeded but slowly even with a light to guide tbem.

It was Jean, and the lieutenant, thus unexpectedly tangled, fell to tbe floor,' breaking, but not extinguishing, tbe guard's lantern as he went down. The little remaining oil spread and flamed up brlllluntly, as if eager for conflagration, sputtering along tbe uneven boards. "Kill tbat Imp!" cried the lieutenant in a strangling voice while trying to regain bis feet. "Shoot! Bayonet!" In his pain, ruge and baste be Inadvertently set bis band in tbe midst of tbe blazing oil. which clung to tbe flesh with a seething grip. "Thunder!" be screamed. "Fire! Fire!" Two or three bayonets were leveled upon Alice. Some one kicked Jean clenn across the room, nud he lay Uiere, curled up In his baby night wrap, look- lug like an enormous porcupine. At this point a new performer came upon the stage, a dark robed thing so active that Its outlines changed elu- sively, giving lt no recognizable features. It might hove been Sntnn himself or some terrible unknown wild animal clad somewhat to resemble a man, so far as the startled guards could make out. It clawed right und left, burled one of them ugulnst tbe wull, dashed another, through the door Into Mme. Rousslllon's room, where tbe good womun wus walling at tbe top of her voice, and felled a third witb a stroke like that of u beur's paw. Consternation was at high tide when Fnrusworth, who ulwaya slept with au enr open, reached Roussillon place and quickly quieted things. He wns troubled beyond expression when be fouud out the true state of the ntTalr. for there was nothing that be could do but arrest Alice and take her to Hamilton. It made bis benrt sink. He would have thought little of ordering a file of soldiers to shoot a mnn under the same conditions, but to subject her again to the governor's stern cruelty—bow could be do It? This time there would be no hope for her. Alice stood before blm flushed, disheveled, delimit, sword ln band, beautiful and terrible as an angel. Tbe black figure, man or devil, bad disappeared ns strangely ns It bad come. The siiblleutcnunt was having bis slight wound bunduged. Men were raging nnd cursing under tbelr breath, rubbing their bruised heads and limbs. "Alice—Mile. Housslllon, I nm so sorry for this," said Captain Farnswortb. "It ls painful, terrible"— He could not go on, but stood before her unmanned. In the feeble light bis face was wun, snd his hurt shoulder, slill In bandages, drooped perceptibly.

CHATTER XIII. A VICETl.NO IN THE WILDERNESS. BEVERLEY set out on bis midwinter journey to Kaskaskia with a tempest in his heart, and It was perhaps the storm's energy tbat gave him tbe courage to face undaunted .nnd undoubting what his experience must have told him lay in ills path. Wbat meant suffering to him If be could but rescue Alice? And what were life should be fall to rescue her? The oid, old song bummed ln his I'.'.oi't. every phrase of It distinct above tin- tumult of tlie storm. Could cold ui..! bunjjor, swollen streams, ravenous wild beasts nnd scalp hunting savages battle him? No; Ihere is uo barrier tbat can binder love. He suid this over and over to himself after bis rencounter witb the foui ndian scouts on the Wabash. He repented lt wltb every heart beat until he fell in witb somo friendly red men, who took him to their camp, where, to his great surprise, he met M. Housslllon. It was his song when again be strode off toward the west on his lonely way. He did not know that Long Hnlr and his bnnd were fust on his track, but the knowledge could uot have urged him to greater haste. He strained every muscle to Its utmost, kept every nerve to the highest tension. Yonder toward the west wiib help for Alice. That wus ull be cured for. But If Long Hnir was pursuing blm with relentless greed for the reward offered b.v Hamilton there were friendly footsteps still nearer behind hlin, and one dny nt high noon while he was bending over n little lire broiling some liberal cuts of venison a finger tupped him on the shoulder. He sprang up and grappled Uncle Jnzon. At tbe same time, standing near by, he saw Simon Kenton, bis old time Kentucky friend. The pungled features of one and the fine, rugged fnce of the otber swam as ln a mist before Beverley's eyes. Kenton' wns laughing quietly, bis strong, upright form shaking to tlie force of his pleasure. He was ln the early prime of a vigorous life, not handsome, but strikingly attractive by reason of a certnln glow In bis fnce and a kindly flash ln bis deep set eyes. "Well, well, my buy!" he cxclnlmed, laying blB left hand on Beverley'! shoulder, while lu the other he held a long, heavy rifle. "I'm glad to see ye, glad to see ye!" "Thought we was Injuns, eh?" »ld Oncle Jazon. "An' ef we bad 'a' been we'd 'a' been shore o' your scalp!" The wizened old Creole cackled gleefully. "And where arc ye goin'?" demanded Kenton. "Ye're mnkin' what lacki a heap o' bein' a bee line for some iJTi.ce or other." Beverley was dazed nnd vacant minded. Things seemed wavering and dim. He pushed the two men from him and gazed at them without speaking. Their presence and voices did not convince him. "Yer meat's a-burnln'," said Oncle Jazon, stooping to turn It on the smoldering' coals. "Ye must be hungry. Cookln' enough for a regiment" Kenton shook Beverley with rough familiarity as lf to rouse bis faculties. "What's the mutter? Fltz, my lad, don't ye know SI Kenton? It's not so long since we were like brothers, and now ye don't Bpeuk to me. Ye've not forgotten me, Fitz!" _, "Mebby he dou't like ye as well as ye thought he did," drawled Oncle Jazon. "I hev known o' fellers a-beln' mistaken Jes' thet way." Beverley got his wits together as best he could, taking In tbe situation by such degrees as seemed at the time unduly slow, but wliich were really mere momentary fulterlngs. "Wby, Kenton! Juzon!" he presently exclaimed, a cordiul gladness blending wltb his surprise. "Uow did you get here? Where did you come from?" | He looked from one to the other back and forth, wltb a wondering smile breaking over bis bronzed and determined face. "We've been hot on yer trail for thirty hours," said Kenton. "Roussillon put us on lt back yonder. But what are ye up to? Where are ye goin'?" "I'm going to Clark at Kaskaskia to bring him yonder." He waved his ye too well to be fooled by ye. Voir vo got BOUietblU' in uilnd thtit ye don't want to tell. Well, then, don't tell iu Oncle Juzon und I will go it blind, won't we, Juzon?" "Blind ns two moles," said the old man; "but, as for thet secret." be added, winking both eyes at once, "I don't know as it's so mighty hard to guessr- It's nlways safe to 'niaglne ti woman in tbe case. It's mostly women thet sends men n-trottln' off 'bout nothin', sort o' crazyllke." Beverley looked guilty and Oncle Jazon .continued: "Tbey's a pooty gal ut Vincennes. an' I see the youug man u-steppin' inlo her bouse about IIfteen times a d y 'fore I lef tbe place. Mehbc she's luck up wi' one o' them English otttcera. Gals ls slippery an' onsartin'." "Jazon," cried Beverley, "slop that Instantly, or I'll wring your old netk!" His anger was real, and be meant what he said. He clinched bis bands and glowered. "Don't get mad at the old man," said Kenton, plucking Beverley aside. "He's yer friend from bis heels to his old scalped crown. Let hiin have his fun." Then, lowering his voice alu«st to a whisper, be continued: "I was In Vlncennes for two d lys nnd plgbts spyin' around, Mine. Godero hid me ln ber bouse when there was need of It. 1 know how It Is with ye. I got all tbe gossip about ye and tho young lady, as well ns ull the Information nbout Hamilton nnd bis forces tbnt Colonel Chirk wants. I'm goin' to Kaskaskia, but I think It quite invisible thut Clark will be on Ills march to Vlncennes before we get there, for Vigo bus taken hiin full particulars as to the fort and ils garrison, and 1 know that he's determined to capture tbo whole thing or die tryln'." Beverley felt his heart swell nnd bis blood leap strong in bis veins at these words. "I saw ye while I wns in Vincennes." Kenton added, "but I never let ye see me. Ye were a prisoner, and I had no business with ye while yonr parole held. I felt thut it was best not to tempt ye to give nie nld or to let yo have knowledge of me while I was a spy. I left two days before ye did and should have been at Kaskaskia by this time if I hadn't run ncross Jazon, who I detained me. He wanted to go witb nie, and I waited for him to repair tbe stock of his old gun. He tinkered nt lt ] 'tween meals and showers for half a ! week at the Indian village bnck yonder I before he got lt just to suit him. But ! I tell ye he's wo'th waltln' for nny length of time, and I was glad to let him have bis way." i Kenton, who wns still a young man \ ln his early thirties, respected Beverley's reticence on the subject uppermost ln bis mind. Mme. Godere had told the whole story with flamboyant embellishments. Kenton bnd seen Al- | Ice, and, Inspired with tbe gossip and a surreptitious glimpse of her beauty, ha felt perfectly familiar with Beverley's condition. He wns himself a Victim of | the tender passion to the extent of being an exile from his Virginia homo, I which he hud left on account of dangerously wounding a rlvnl. But bo was well touched with the backwoodsman's taste for Joke and banter. He and Oncle Jazon, therefore, knowing the main feature of Beverley's predicament, enjoyed making the most of their opportunity In their rude but perfectly generous and kindly way. By Indirection and Impersonal details, as regarded his feelings toward Alice, Beverley ln due time made bis friends understand thnt his whole ambition wns centered in rescuing her. ! | Nor did the motive fall to enlist their sympathy to the utmost. If all tbo world loves a lover all men having the best virile Instinct will flght for a lov- | er's cause. Both Kenton nnd Oncle Jason were enthusiastic. They wanted . nothing better than nn opportunity to I aid in rescuing any girl who hnd shown | so much patriotism and pluck. But ' Oncle Juzon was fond of Alice, nnd Beverley's story affected him peculiarly on her nccount. "They's ono question I'm n-goin' to put to ye, young mnn," he snid after he bad heard everything und tbey had | tn,ked lt all over, "an" 1 want ye to an' •ta.tffcll.J' Cu-he lilfe Ren-oil's tafifS;'' I that Hamilton bad been informed of ! bis visit to Vlncennes and bad offered halted and began making, signs to one another all round the line.

The three stood In a close set clump of four or five scrub oaks at the highest point of a thinly wooded knoll 1li.it sloped di.wn iu all directions lo llie prairie. Their view \va,s wide, but in places obstructed by Hie trees. "Men." said Keiilon after a thoughtful nnd watchful silence, "the thing looks kind o' squally for us. I don't see much of n chance to get out of this alive, but we've got to try." He showed by the density of- his voice nnd a certain gray film In bis face that he felt tbe awful gravity of the situation, but he was calm, and not a muscle quivered.

Beverley and Kenton each likewise dropped uu Indian, but the shots did not even check the rush. Long Hair bad planned to capture his prey, not kill It. Every savage bad Ills orders to tuke the white men alive. Hamilton's lurgcr reward depended ou this. Right on they came, as fast ss their nimble legs could carry tbem, yelling like demons, and tbey reached the grove before the three white men could reload tbelr guns. Then every warrior took cover behind a lice and began scrambling forward from bole to bole, thus approaching rapidly without much exposure. oouo.iision of Ibe struggle soon caine.

Tbe young man, feeling this fresh and vigorous clasp, turned himself about to put forth one more mighty spurt of power. He lifted the stalwart Indian bodily and dashed blm headlong against tho bill tressed root of a tree half n rod distant, breaking tbe smaller'' bone of bis left forearm and- well nigh knocking hiin senseless. <• It was a.fine exhibition of mnnly strength, but there could bu ''nothing gained by it.

Little old greasy woman!" he snarled. "Make good lire for warrior to dance by!" Kenton also re- i delved bis full share of the kicks and i verbal abuse, after which Long Hair i gave orders for fires to be built. Then ' he looked to bis hurt ariu and bad the ! bone set and bandaged, never so much" '. lis wincing the while.

Then, each with bis bands full of the savory i meat, they began to dance aroundtbe fires, droiiliig meantime un atrociously i repellent chant. Before this was ended a rain began to fall, and it rapidly thickened from,a desultory shower to a roaring downpour Unil effectually quenched not only ; the tires around which liie savages | were dancing, but the entbusiusui of i tbe dancers us well. During tbe rest of the afternoon and nil night long the | fab was Incessant, accompanied by a cold, panting, wailing southwest wind. Beverley lay on tbe ground fnco up- I ward, the rawhide strings torturing his [ limbs, the chill of cold water searching j his bones. He could see nothing but the dim, Btrnii'/o canopy of flying rain, against which the bare boughs of tho I scrub oaks were vaguely outlined; be could bear nothing but the cry of the wind and the swash of the wnter which fell upon hlin and ran tinder him, bubbling aud gurgling as lf fiendishly ex- tillnnt. The night dragged on through Its terrible length, denllng out Its Indescribable horrors, and nt last morning arrived, with n stingy nnd uncertain gift of light slowly Increasing until the dripping trees appeared forlornly gray and brown ngalnst clouds now breaking lute masses that gave but little rain. There was great stir among the Indians. Long Hnlr stalked about scrutinizing the ground. Beverley saw hlin come near time and again with a hideous, Inquiring scowl on his face. Grunts und laconic exclamations passed from D-CUltl) to mouth, and pcesent- ly the Import of II all could not be mistaken.

A nervous person is in a state of constant irritation by day and sleeplessness by night. The sufferer starts ut every noise, is shaky, depressed, and, although in a constantly exiituiS-e.il state, is unable to sit or liu still. It you aro nervous or worried or suffer from a combination of langour and irritation you need a nervo tonic, and Dr. Willia.iiti' Pink Pills are absolutely the best thing in tho world for you. You can only get rid of nervousness through feeding your nerves with rich, red blood, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. There is no doubt about this—thousands can testify to tho blood-making, nerve-restoring qualities of these pills. St. Vitus duncu is one of the most severe forms of nervousness, and Mrs. H. Hevenor, of Gravenhurst, Ont., tells how these pills cured her little boy. She says: "At the age of eight my little boy was attacked with St. Vitus dance from which he suffered in a severe form. His nerves twitched to such an extent that he was almost helpless, and had to bo constantly watched. He was under several doctors at different times, but they did not help him, so I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and these have completely cured him, and now not a sign of the trouble remains." When you buy tnese pills always look at the box and see that the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People is printed on the wrapper, and refuse to take anything else. You can get these pills from all medicine dealers or they will be sent by mall at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont.

ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS The result to be derived from continuous advertising cau uot be overestimated. The person or tirm who desires to have their business grow nnd expand must continue to advertise. Tbe adver tising yon did yesterday will help your advertising of today aud the advertising of today will help that of tomorrow and so ou indefiuitely. It is claimed that 99 percent of sue cessfnl advertisers are advertising eon tiuually. They are ever ou Iho lookout for business, and they keep their adver tisemeuts before Iho pnblic because it brings thorn business. With them ad vertisiug is not considered a luxury, but a necessity. The mau who expects hii advertising to bring business or to crento comment immediately, unless the advertisement is oue of a series, is as foolish as the man who finds fault witb the water because it docs not start to boil as soon as he builds 11 lire uuder it Continuity is strength Therefore, that person who would add .strength to his business must keep it before the public coiiti monsly.

They erne from every state iu this Union and from tin territories and provinces in Canada. They were iu every sense choice women.

As the oldest Jockey knows to his cost, Full many a well won race Is lost A brief half length from the wire. And many a soul that has fought with sin, !.nd gained each battle, at last gives in To sudden fierce despair. A watchful eye and a strong true hand Will carry us under the Judges' stand, If prayer, too, does Its part. And little by little the struggling soul Will grow and strengthen and gain control Over the passionate heart. And vain seems the effort of spur or whip, Or the hoarse, hot cry of the pallid lip, "When once we have fallen back. It ls better to keep on stirrup and rein The steady poise and the careful strain In speeding along life's track. —Ella Wheel# Wlleox. AT THE GATES.
