;She -knew perfectly well what era
hind that declaration, but, woman
could not forbear a little catlike p
ing with the masculine mouse, and
WS, worldly brother was just as ti
Pus and nervous over the busines
?clow as the tiniest rodent that
nibbled cheese in a trap. The ph
tato matrimony, like a cold bath o
Winter's morning, seemed more re
lent the longer It was put off,
where a younger and less worthy
like Reuben 1''illey would have da
all long ago John Draper, with
modesty of real and genuine merit,
forborne to test his fate with Fiore
Grauuiss, not because he did not 1
her dearly and devotedly, but for f
that she regarded him more in the light
• of a parent than as a possible husband.
"I mean with regard to Florence," he
replied to Airs. Hurst's innocuous que-
ry. "I am determined to know the
':worst and that right soon."
"My dear John," she said, "my heart
bas been set on this match for years—
••ever since Florence was of marriage-
able age. She has never made a confi-
• dant of me, but I am certain that she
is heart free—that is, there is no other
attachment. Further than that it
would not be right for me to say ex-
•cept this, that I believe you have only
to ask her to be your wife in order to
'gain her consent."
A joyous light' shone in Draper's eyes
as he made reply:
"I hope and prate your eoutldence
may not be misplaced." Then in a
•more jocular tone he inquired:
"Are you prepared to carry two en -
:.gaged eoupies back with you to New
York? I think there is mischief afoot
between *.lodge and young Ives."
"Do you think I am blind?" replied
Mrs. Ilurst. "1 confess that I had
hoped Madge would do better, but un -
lees all signs fail Ma Ives will not wait
eery long to find out what fate has in
• store for him. I shall not Interfere."
"I'm glad to hear you say that,
• Bess," was the rejoinder. "Next to my
•-own happiness 1 Have that of Madge
• and Chester at heart. I know he loves
her, and I think she cares for him."
"Indeed!" she laughed. "I must com-
'piiment you on your remarkable in-
sight into the love affairs of others
-while you are so blind to your own,"
•And with this parting shot Mrs. Hurst
rose to go and make some slight toilet
preparatious for dinner, which was
just then announced.
It was a rather quiet little group that
,assembled once more around the cozy
dining table in the Miranda that night.
'frhe interior of the car was positively
::brilliant. By all analogies the gather-
ing should have been a merry one, yet
'both Madge and Florence were unusu--
:ally quiet. Perhaps it was the natural
relaxation after the unnatural excite-
ment.of the past few days. Mrs. Hurst
:saw ;and noted the signs of the times
:and openly expressed her intention of
-retiring .early, saying, with a meaning
glance tit her brother:
"We shall feel better and brighter to -
'morrow after we have become used to
the old routine again." So Draper and
Ives were left to their cigars and some
desultory talk over Filloy's villainy.
There is nothing to equal a sound
beauty sleep for composing one's
nerves and clearing away the over-
night cobwebs. The two girls were
positively blooming and bubbling over
.with life and gayety when they emerg-
ed from theft boudoir at the tinkling of
.the breakfast bell next morning.
:Madge was full of mischief, and even
the usually staid and dignified Flor-
ence caught the infection, and together
they alternately bantered and bullied
Draper and Chester until Mrs. Hurst
came to the rescue.
They lingered long after the meal,
and in after years both couples looked
.back with fond recollections to that
rLL178TaATIONs aY L W, TA A%l,
s he- memorable morning. They were speed-
ing over the level Nebraska plains, rich
say with the lush green . promises of the
her coming harvest. For miles the prairie
mor farms spread out on. eitber hand, dot•
s in ted with white homesteads and quiet
ever village stations, past which the train
Inge tore with ceaseless and steady energy,
n e Breakfast ended, Airs. Hurst found
"el- an excuse for leaving the saloon on the
and plea of "tidying up" the boudoir. A
man few minutes later Ives invited Madge
red to inspect the view from the rear door
the of the Pullman. So John Draper and
had Florence Granniss were left alone. The
nee moment for them had come!
ove nee FIorence lay back in nor seat, toying
ear idly with some trifle of needlework,
but her eyes were often turned to gaze
winclowward at the moving panorama
without, John watched her, all the
love in his great heart showing in his
face.
Suddenly he rose and leaned over the
back of her chair. It was a prosaic
wooing, amid prosaic surroundings, but
with him it was now or never!
)lien never know exactly what they
will do or say at such times. The most
carefully prepared speeches are apt to
fly away when the supreme moment
conies. In fact, John Draper had made
no verbal preparation. He wanted to
tell her he loved her and to ask her to
•he his wife In a sitnple and earnest
way. as became his whole nature, and
then to listen to her answer and abide
by it.
"Florence, clear girl," he began and
then stopped.
"What is it?" she inquired. He had
taken her hand, and as her uplifted
eyes met his she must have read his
secret with .a woman's intuition, for a
rosy flush swept from throat to fore-
head and then as quickly faded. But
she could not help him—not yet. He
dropped her hoed and took a few hasty
steps across the ear and back again,
then, drawing up his chair beside hers,
he took her unresisting hand again.
"My dear child," he said, "we have
known each other a good many years—
so many that I sometimes• fear you
only regard me as a grim and gray old
fellow, with no part nor purpose in
your young life but that of it mere
business relattou."
"Say, rather, the best and kindest
and truest friend I have ever known,"
she replied, lifting her eyes to his. Un.
less be was mi"staken the true lovelight
was dawning there.
"I would not for the world disturb
that feeling unless I could put some.
thing better in its place," he went on.
"Florence, I have learned to love you—
not as a daughter, but as a man levee
the woman he would make his wife
'Will you marry me Florence?"
Her glossy head" bent low, but heti
unresisting hand nestled in his not un.
willingly. Bending nearer, he waited
for her answer. Slowly and shyly slit
raised her eyes to his and bravely an.
swered:
"Yes, dear, I will."
In the Pullman another wooing wad
in progress. Chester Ives had likeyvie
determined to put his fate to the test
that very morning and trent at tht
matter with his usual dash and deet
sion. For a few minutes he and Madge
stood watching the flying prospect
from the vestibuled door. Then hit
arm stole round her waist, and, pnttin(
his lips close to her ear so as to con'
quer the din of the train, he said:
"Madge, I can't go on like this aril
longer. Do you know why I asked
you to come out here?"
"The prisoner is not bound to answer
any incriminating questions;" she re
torted, as saucy as ever,
"Well, I'll tell you, though I believ4
you've known it for ever so lotiiq

Danger in Delay
Kidney Diseases Are too Dangerous
°for Wingham People to Neglect.
The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache, head-
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, dia.
hetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't negioot
Year kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy, Booth's
Kidney Pills, which have cured people
right here hi Wingham.
James Weir, of Edward Se Patrick
Sta., Wingham, Ont., says: "Although
I had tried numerous different remedies,
I found little or no relief for the dull,
heavy pain that had settled aoross my
back in the region of the kidneys.
Every little ahauge of weather would
give me a cold and it would settle in
the weak spot of my back. The urine
was colored highly and filled with a
briok dust sediment. The kidney
secretions were frequent and greatly
disordered. I would leave my bed fear
or five times during the night. Booth's
Kidney Pills were reoommended and
procuring a box at Me, McKtbben's, I
commenced treatment. They quickly
oared me, correcting the urinary diffi-
culties and strengthening my baok. I
have not been bothered since and will
recommend Booth's Kidney Pills as an
ideal and reliable remedy."

Mr, Albert MacPhee, Chignecto Mines,

cold by working in water, and had a
very bad eough and that distressing,
tickling sensation in my throat so I
could not sleep at night, and my lungs
-were so very sore I had to give up work.
Our doctor gave me medicine but it did
me no good so I got a bottle of Dr. Wood's
Norway Pine Syrup and by the time I
had used two bottles I was entirely
cured. I am always recommending it to
my friends,"
Dr. Wood's Norway rine Syrup tom -

Wicked Type.
The book borrower is the sworn foe
of the book collector, and many stories
are told of the plans adopted by the
latter to defend his treasures freer the
assaults of the borrower. Espeelelly is
the collector opposed to the unfeeling
Wretch who borrows one volume out
of a series and forgets to return it.
This was one of Coleridge's weakness-
es and was so pronounced that Lamb
described hill) as "a maker of odd vol-
umes." The late J. Whitefoor'd Mae-
Iieuzie, a well know collector, once
told the present writer that when any
one asked him for the loan of a single
volume out of a set be always replied
that lie would rather lend him the
whole ten, fifteen or twenty volumes
of the series than bnve them left as
odd volumes on his hands. William
Roberts, the renowned bibliophile, tells
a "The Book Hunter In Loudon" that
he bookplate of a certain French col-
ector bore this text from the parable
.'f the teu virgins: "Go rather to them
that sell and buy for yourselves,"
"Sir," saki a mail of wit to an ac-
quaintance who latnented the difficulty
which be found In persuading his
friends to return the volumes that he
had lent thein—"sir, your llctluaintanves
fncl. I suppose, tint it is lunch more
easy to retain the books themselves
than what is eolltaitted in them"
An ingenious plan to limit book bor-
row/0g is tuld by .1. Ashby ~terry. In
ail the books of n vermin mi veins book
eolloetor be iim1 the price writteu in
plain tinures. 11'beu 11n,r one asked
him for the loan or a Ise* lie inruria-
bly replier!, "I't's with pleasure," and.
looking iti the volume, further added.
"I see tin» price of this tvot'k !s £'2 17e.
MI" (or iv letterer it Inlet t lin lipen to
bei, -You may tate it at this figure,
whicb will, of course, be refunded
when the volume is returned." Sir Wal-
ter Scott's pian was ingenious. When
he lent a book Prow his library he put
in its place a wooden block bearing
the name of the borrower tend the date
of the loan. Many were the anathemas
leveled by collectoi:s against those who
would borrow or steal their volumes.
Sometimes these were macaronis
rhymes written by students—as. for ex-
ample, the following, which was in-
scribed upon a Latin book used in Ab.
erdeen university:
SI quisctits furetur
This little LIbellum
Per Phoebem, per Jovem
I'll kill him. I'll fell him;
In ventrem fllis s.
I'll stick my scalpellunt
And teach him to steal
My little Libellum.
In the library of a famous Glasgow
coIleetor there was recently the copy
of Scott's "Minstrelsy of the Scottbsli
Border" which belonged at one time
to William Motherwell and in which
the poet had inscribed the following
verse:
William Motherwell says the work is Ida.
Who shall gainsay him?
He that dares do it
May the meiide dell flay him! •
Even more violent denunciations
were written against the book stealer
in the sixteenth century, when books
were more precious than now. Yet
even the modern poet finds it needful
to anathematize politely:
To the lost books my fancy clings:;
O'er them my memory grovels. '`
1 swear in spirit when I see
The gaps among the novels.
The Thackeray I "loved and lost'R t
1 mourn with sorrow tender,
whoever has it also has
The curses of the Iender.
The lady (Bessie Craigmyle) who
wrote these lines expresses Ler grati-
tude for the fact that "no one bor-
rows poets," thousa that is not the
opinion of Charles Sayle, who thus
threatens the possible thief of "The
Marriage of Cupid and Psyche:"
Cursed be he who robs me 01 this book,
with all his race. Let it be desolate
And brought slow if so be it was great,
For that he wickedly, Impiously took.
'That was another's. Let great serpents
look
At him a -sleeping, with dull eyes of hate;
And let him, waking. be compelled of fate
To cast his corse within the nearest
brook.
This is as comprehensive a curse as
that which overtook the fated "Jack-
daw of Rheims"—and as ineffectual.—

Nobody ever heard of "stock food" curing the bots or colic, making
hens lay in winter, increasing the yield of inflictive pounds per cow aday,
or or run-down animals to plumpness and vigor.
When you feed stock food" to your cow, horse, swine or poultry,
you are merely feeding them what you are growing on your• own farm.
Your animals do need not more feed, but something to help their
bodies get alt the good out of the teed you give them so they can get fat
and stay fat all year round; also to prevent disease, cure disease and keep
them tip to the best possible condition. No ",tock food" can do all these
things, ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC can and does. It is
Not a "Stook Food" But a "Conditioner"
ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC contains no grain, nor farm products. It increases
yield of mills from three to five pounds per cote per day before the Specific has been used,two
weeks. It makes the mill: richer and adds flesh faster than any other preparation known.
Young calves fed with ROYAL PURPLE are as large at six weeks old as they would be when
fed with ordinary materials at ten weeps.
ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC builds up rundown animals and restores them to
plumpness almost magically. Cures beta colic. Worms, skin diseases and debility, permanently,

One 50c. package of ROYAL PURPLE STOCK SPECIFIC will last one animal seventy
days, which is a little over two•thirds ofa cent a day, Most stock foods in fifty cent packages
