CHAPTER XXXI .-(Cont'd) Whether Sigrid at all guessed at the state of affairs and arranged .accordingly, or whether ft .was a mere 'chance,. it so happened that ,for •the greater part of that day as they traveled through the beattti •ful Romsdal, Frithiof and Cecil 'were together. They dined merrily on .salmon, wild strawberries, and cream, and the a walk was proposed. ' Cecil, however, excused herself, saying that she halal letters towrite home, :and so it chanced that Frithjof, and toSigrid h had 'what 'did not often fall their ,lot in those days, the • •chance 'of a;quiet.talk. "What is ,wrong with you, ;dear cid hoy 7" she said ; for since they .had left Horgheim she could not but notice that he had grown grave and absorbed. "Nothing," he said, with rather .a forced laugh. - "Let us rest here in the shade," she said, settling herself comfort- ably wilder a silver birch. "Roy and Swanhild walk at such a pace that I think we 'will let thein. have -the first view of the Mongefos." He ,threw himself down on the .grass beside her, and for a time there was silence. "You did not sleep last night," she said, presently. "How do yeti know that 2'"' he :said, his color rising .a little. "Oh, I' know it by your forehead. < .You were worrying over something. yCome, confess." s"I want to ask you a question," he :said. "De you think a man has ..any business to offer to a woman a love which is not his first passion?" e "At one time I thought not," said Sigrid: "Bub as 1 grew older and understood things. more it 'seemed to me different." "And if I were to tell Cecil that I, loved her, do you think she would at any rate listen to me 2" "I am not going to say 'yes' or 'no' to that question," -.said Sigrid, .suddenly bending forward and giv- ing him a kiss—a, salute almost un- known between a Norwegian bro- ther and sister. "But I will say instead 'Go and try."' • "You think then—" Slie sprung to her: feet. "I don't thinly at all," she said, laughingly. "Good-bye. I am go- ing to meet the'others at the: Mon- gefos, and you_ you are going back to Horgheini. Adjo." Presently he got up and began to retrace his steps along the valley. CHAPTER Xt. The afternoon was not so clear as the morning had been, yet it had a beauty of its own which appealed to Frithiof very strongly. Suddenly he perceived a little`further along the road a slim figure leaning against the fence, the folds of a blue dress, the gleans: of light -brown hair under a sealskin traveling -cap.. His heart 1„ieg in to beat fast, he strode' on more quickly, and Cecil, hearing footsteps, looked up. "I had. 'finished nay letter and thought'. L would .tome out to ex- plore a'. little," she said, ashe joined her. , "You have come back?" "Yes," he said, "1 have come ,back to you, Cecil. TSo:you remem- ber what''you said years ago about men who worked hard to make'thei.r fortune and then retired and were miserable because they had nothing to do?" `IOh;, yes," she said, "1 remem- ber it very well, ` and have often esen instances of it." "I am like that 'now,"rhe con- tinued. "My work seems over, and I stand at the threshold . of a. new life. It was you who saved me from y ' ruin in my old life—will you be my helper, nowt}' "Do you think I really could' help 7" she said, wistfully. "I do not know," he said gravely. "It depends on whether you could' love me—whethee you will let me speak of my love for you." "There` must' never be any sec- rets between us," she said, speak- ing quite sirriply and directly. • "I have loved you ever since you first came ,to us: years ago." It was nothing to Frithiof th they were standing at .the side the king's highway—he had lost sense of time and place the wor .only contained -for him the woman who loved him—the woman wheel him clasp her in his strong arms let him press her sweet face to hi "With you I shall have courag to begin life afresh," he said, afte a time. "To have the right to lov you --to be always with you"--th will be everything t0 me." And then, as he thought of he true -hearted confession, he tried t understand a little better the u seen ordering of his life, and h loved' to think that those wee Years had been wasted neither o him nor on Cecil herself. "I shall have a postscript to ad to my letter," said Cecil, present! "What a very feminine one it wi. be 1 We say, you know, in England. that ea woman's postscript is th most important part of her letter:' "Will your father and mothe ever spare you to me?" said Frith iof. "They will'eertainly welcome yo as their son,"she replied. "And Mr. and:Mrs. Horner 2' suggested Frithiof, mischievously. "Never mind," she said, "they have always disapproved of me as much as they have of you; they. wil perhaps say that it is, after all, highly suitable arrangement I" "I wonder whether Swanhild wiI say the same?" said Frithiof, with a smile; "here she •comes, ' hurry- i'nghome alone. Will .you wait by the river and let me just tell her mygood news?" "Why are you all.alone' 7" he said. "Oh, there is no fun," said Swan- hild. "When Roy and Sigrid are out on a holiday they are just like lovers, so I came, back to you." "What will you say when I tell you that I am betrothed?" he said teasingly. - "You . are only making fun of me," she protested. "On the contrary, I am stating the most serious of facts. Come, -1 want_ your congratulations." "But who are you betrothed to 2" asked Swanhi i, bewildered. "Can it be to ° Madale 7 And, oh, dear, what a horrid time to choose for it you will he just no good at all. I really do think yea might have. waited till the end of the tour." "It might possibly have been managed if you had spoken soon- er," said Frithiof, with mock gra- vity, "but you : come too late -the deed is done."r "Well, I shall hs,veCecil to talk. to, so after all it doesn't much mat- ter," said Swanhild, graciously. But, unfortunately, she also has become betrothed,said Frithiof. Swanhild caught his hand in hers. "You don't mean=" she began. "Oh,. yes," said Frithiof, "but I do mean , it very ' much indeed, Come," and he hurried' her down the grassy •'slope to the river, "1 shall tell Cecil every ,word you have been ' saying." , 'Then, as she rose to meet them, he (aid, with •a laugh; "This selfish .Child 'thinks we might have put it off till the end of the tour for her special benefit!'' , "No, no," cried Swanhild, flying toward Cecil . with '' outstretched arias, "1 never knew it was to you he was betrothed—and you could never be that horrid,. moony kind at of all ld et s. e r e at r 0 n- e ry n 11 e r' u 1 a 1 0 +Subtrilt to a headache is to waste energy, time and comfort, To stop it at once simply take • NA- DRV -CO Headache Waters Your Druggist will confirm our statement that they do not contain asythisg that can harm heart ot'"nervous"system, 25c, a box.

"It was strange," she • replied, with a smile, as she gathered one of the long trails growing close by and looked at the lovely little white bells with their pink veins.

For 'another month,"he said, taking her glowing face between his hands and, stooping to kiss her. "`Only a month !" she faltered. 'Surely that will be long enough :to read the bans 2" he said with a smile. ."And you really ought not to keep the• Linnaea waiting a day longer. "• THE END. w 0 d b y 0 g n `A MOVED HOUSE IN PAJ±TS. Large Three -Storey Dwelling So Transported a Mile. One of the most singular ideas ever involved in the' moving of houses was 'recently put into prac- tice in West Somerville;' Mass., when a large three-storey dwelling was cut in two and moved from an eminence ten feet above the street level and set up smile distant from its former resting place. It was found impossible to move the house in its entirety. The cut was made squarely through the centre, and as the House was built in a very sym- • metrical manner each half was an exact counterpart of the ot)Vier. Tit EL/ WNEY"S TICKLE. As en illustration of the kindness of hie nature and willingness to help a friend, Sir Henry Lucy, iza' "More Passages by the Way," tells a story of Lord Charles Beresford whieh had a somewhat -amusing se-. queL. An old ;acquaintance, retired Tion the navy, called upon hili one day and said that he had invented a newsauce which would make a fortune for . "them both. Lord Charles, ,however, declined to en- ter the sauce trade, . but said "if a specinten of the product were sent to him he would taste it, and it ib were' found agreeable would write the inventor a. letter of approval. The sauce dulyarrived, and was not bad. Lord Charles wrote a let- ter of moderate tone, stating that he had tried' the sauce and found it very good. "The inventer had hit upon what he regarded as rather a striking Lord Charles Beresford. title, ,and proceeded to .advertise. it. Presently `Trelawnay's Tickle' ap- peared prominently in the adver tisement sheets of the papers ac= companied by the following note, purporting to be addressed to the proprietor : 'Sir, I have tried your sauce, enc, find it excels all ethers with which I am acquainted. I may say that a spoonful of Trelaw- nay's Tickle „elide my stomach laugh. Yours faithfully, Charles Beresford.' " "Did you . punish : your son for throwing a lump of coal at Willie Smiggs 2''' asked the careful mo- ther. "I did," replied the busy father. "I don't care so much for tate Sniiggs boy,' but I 'can't have anybody in this family throwing• coal • around like that,'`' After bracing the house', first one ,section and then another was proved to the new location with "jackscrews and rollers. On bringing the two re -united divorced portions to- gether • they 'dovetailed in such a perfect fit that it was impossible to discern the separating cut. As each of the sections: was 35 by 20 feet at the base and almost 40 .feet in height, they were apt to topple over during the process of moving. This was prevented by tearing down the chimneys and foundations and loading the first floor of each section to . a considerable depth with brick. The brick acted as bal- last and the sections were- moved without any damage: . LEAD ABSORBED BY TEETH. Extracted Teeth of. One Workplan Contained Quantity of Lead. A tendency of the teeth and gums to absorb lead has been observed by Victor Hinze, a German dentist, among the- workers in an accumu- lator factory:. The teeth all had much tartar, and that scraped from the teeth of one man affected with anaemia and ()thee symptoms of _poisoning was found by an"alysie to contain about one-half of one per cent. sof metallic lead. Extracting the seventeen teeth still retained by this roan, the me- tallic lead in the crowns was shown to be 0.0038 per Dent. and 0.033 per cent. . in the roots-sttfacient to give continuous lead intoxication. Thetartar was removed from the teeth of the other workers and this was followed by marked improve- ment in the condition of gums and general health. 1T4 70 "Tho Family Friend for 40 years."

Albania, whose future is now'in question; has been compared to the highlands .of Scotland in the Six- teenth century, when all the -clans were in constant feud with one an- other. "Many a time," slays Foster Fraser, "I have thought of cimilari ties between Albania And Scotland. There are parts of the country re- miniscent of the highlands. '•The' passionate love of country is char- acteristic of both peoples. The alertness of the Scotch highlander to resent insult is.only equalled by the, quickness of the Albanian to shoot any one who may. disagree with -him. The edited of the Albanian is similar' to the high - lender's kilt. And if you hear the wail of Albanian, music in the hills' you can without much stretch of imagination fancy you are listening to the skirl of the bi p pes:" The blood feud is the best known of Albanian institutions, but there are fraternities as well in whic'li blood also figures: Two young Al-" banians will take a, vow to stand by each other through life, and the ree lation established is so sacred thati the children of the two may not marry. Among the Mirdites young men who take this vow first receive: the ,communion together and 'then: drink wine with which a few drops of the blood of bothhave been min gl•.ed. Two such vowed friends, the story goes, oncediscovered that they were in love with the, same• woman, a Turk. Their solution of the diffi- culty was peaceful—from their own joint of view..

The aim of man from the beginning has been tomake his building materials as nearly like nat- • ural stone as possible. The.great labor required td quarry stone led him to seek various manufactured substitutes. The onlyreason he ever used wood was that it was easiest to get and•most convenient to use. Wood is no longer easy to get. Like most building material, its cost is in- creasing 'at an alarming rate. The cost of concrete is decreasing: Sd, from the standpoint of either ser- vice or economy, Concrete is the best building material. Canada's farmers ate using more concrete, in proportion to their numbers, than the farmers of any other'country, Why Because they arebeing supplied with Canada Cement a cement of the highest possible quality, which in. sures the success of their' concrete work. The secret of concrete's popularity in Canada Ilea in` the fact that while we have been `advertising the use of concrete, we .have also been producing. by scien- tific methods, a cement so uniformly hiih in quality that the concrete made with it gives the cbmpletc satisfaction our advertisements promtled.
