A MOTHER'S ANXIETY
Most mothers are anxious when
their little ones are teething, for- at
this time the baby's stomach gets dis-
ordered and there is a grave danger of
convulsions. This anxiety can be less-
ened, however, if the mother keeps a
• supply of Baby's Own Tablets in . the
house and gives an occasional dose
to her teething baby. The Tablets
are the very best medicine in the
NW:lied-dieing the teething time. They
regulate the bowels, sweeten the stom-
ach, promote healthful sleep and make
{teething painless. They are sold by
'medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents
a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi-
cine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The German transport and ammuni-

to their .axles in the mud, and the
whole column, delayed for hours, was
exposed to heavy French artillery fire
e, and to that of the allies' front line,
-which was only 200 yards distant. Not
a. house stands in Dixmude. In the
ruins it is impossible to trace the
direction: of the streets. If a native of
the town were dumped down in the
spot where his own house stood he
would recognize nothing. The square
is honeycombed with holes made by.
heavy projectiles and strewn with un-
exploded shells.

of desolation ate the ruins of the
beautiful Gothic: city hall and St.'

LETTER FROM THE "EMPRESS,"
London, San, 25.—A Strange, miscol-
ored envelope -arrived a few days ago
at the home of Miss le nudge, Gower
street, London, It was stamped "re-
coveredby divers from the wreck of
the ste Empress of Ireland,"
and had corne from the dead letter
office at Ottawa
The mucilage which had held down
the flap Of the envelope was gone,
the stamp was missing. and in 'Oates
the ink of the address had run. The
letter itself, however, was perfeetly
legible.
"It grieves me very mech. to see you
here, Herat, even for a few days. But
It can mile be for a few days, My
friend, for the. missions are neer at
hand, Althea yeu will be tried and
Moat certainly melted. X hope you
know this?"
"Are you a, Christian, Benjamin?":
"Yes, my lord, however unworthy to
bear that name"
"Then..you must not bo a fatalist.
Yoe will be acquitted, Isenjamiu. But
I wiels eau to be more Wait 'acquitted,
wish you :to ha vindicated. I 'wish
your character to corhe pure froin this
ordeal as fine gold from the fiery lute
nace. For .this reason I have to -day re-
tained. for your defence the most
learned lawyer and eloquent advo-
cate in the country -I mean Mr. Percy
Melbas, of whom, no doubt, you have
heard."
"Oh, yes," said Benny, immediately
recollecting the name of the young
lawyer 'who, years before, had so
succesefuIly defended his, Benny',
foster -mother -"Ole yes, my lard, I
have heard of Mr. Melliss. But, oh,
hew, shall I ever be able to thank you
enough for all your goodness and
kindness to me?" enquired Benny,
raising his sad eyes gratefully to the
eyes of the earl.
"My poor boy, by letting me serve
you as much as I wish to do," said
the earl, caressing the thin, pale, fet-'
tered hand that he held between his
own, "I like you, Benjamin. I wish to
see you prosperous and happy. An
when you shall be acquitted and vitt-
dicetted, you must let me do a great
'deal for. you, indeed. Yon muse teke a
great deal from me. We can, any of
us, take -anything from one who loves
us, can we not, Benjamin?"
The poor young man, overcome by
this gentleness of Sympathy, dropped
his face upon his fettefed hands,
buret into tears, and sobbed. After a
little- while he composed himself, and
said: ,
"Forgive this weakness, my. lord,
have not been used to such kindness
except from one."
"There, there; it is perfectly natur-
al. You are not physically. strait&
and you have been severely •tried.
Now leteus look beyond the dark pree-
exit to the fair future, not so far oft.
When you are fully acquitted and yin-
dicated,both by the court and the
prees, we.must .see to giving • you a
fresh start in, • You are not fit for
service, Benjamin. You must not go
into it again. You must select some
profession that will be mordeo your
test% You are quite young enough
to study lew or medicine; or, if you
Prefer it, as all Englend is arming
now for the Crimean war, you might
enter the army. It would give Me the
greatest happiness to purchase a com-
mission for you in some good •regi-
•
ment, or to enter you at some law
school or Medical cellege."
•."Too much; too much, my lord!
You -you-". Benny began, but his
voice was choked with emotion.
"Ab., Hurst, if you would but keep
in mind that we are the'sons of one
Father, You would not then think �r
feel that I , the fortunate brother,
could do too much for you, the:un-
happy one," said Lord Wellrose.
He spoke, of course, of the univer-
sal brotherhood, yet Benny's pale face
flushed at the words.
"Benny," said the earl suddenly,
yet with great gentleness, "do you
remember the • time when we first
met?"
"In London, my . lord?" inquired
'Benjamin. •
"No. in Brighton."
A smile lighted up the wart feature -3
of the young man as he answered:
"Oh, yes, • my lord. remember
well the little gentleman who emptied
his own pockets and levied 'contribu-
tions from the purses of his little•sis-
ters to buy shees and steeltings for
the barefooted boy they met on the
Esphanade 1 rem.ember, 'well, my
Icel. I remember, also, how a few
days later, the little angels, as they
seemed to me then, had me brought
'off from the dark, snowy sidewalk
into theft bright,' warm parlor, and
gave me a piece of their Twelfth -day
cake. I remember all the intidents
of. that evening. Such bright spots"
In my dark life were too few to be
forgotten. 'I remember, my lord, And
the first time I saw you in London I'
,eecognized you at once. But It was
not for me to speak."., • -. • • '
"I very soon recognized, you also,
Hurst. And now remedebee, my boy,
that this friendship of our* began in
our boyhood. And trust me as an old
friend," .said the young earl evith a
sntile. And then he gave•place to the
ten -lost forgotten chaplain, who cense
and sat down by the young prisoner
and talked with him for a few mo-
ment% and then proposed prayer, in
which. Verd WellrOse joined them. •
When, they arose from their knees
the young earl, looking around upon;
the bare, esomfortless cell, Said: '
"I see, Benjamin, that. you require
a good many articles here to make
,you decently comfortable. 1 will call
en the governor and obtsete leave to

send you Stone books to while away

And another faithful young friend ot
yours will come to see you to -more

her love."
"Alt, my lord, how is she? I have
been wishing to ask you all thia
time, but could not bear to breathe
her name lil a plaice like this. How,
Is she?" earnestly inquired Benny. .
"She is suffering front the shock,
she has received, of course. But she,
hopes to be well erieugh-to come to
see you to -morrow.
•; "Does she think me guilty of this
murder?",. inquired Benny, with quiv-i
cring lips.
"Nee She WOUld stake her lifeelleen-

earl, ill the cheerful, eneouraging
tone which he had maintained during
tlie svittde interview.
I thank Heaven that he, ate
least, does not think me guilty!" said
the young man earnestly,
"Very few peonle can believe you
to be to, Benjamin," observed the
earl.
"nett elle tuned who did the
deed?" fequired the young prisofter,
hemitating anxiously.
"NW but she suspects that you knoVe,

that in an iustant, as bya flash of
revelation, Lord Wellrose knew who.

CHAPTER X' XV.
The Earl of Wellrose a.reused him-
self from his preoceupatiotk, and pre-
sented the counsel to hi$
And then, having promisedto visit
the prisoner again on the ensuing
morning, he bade good -day to both,
and, attended by the chaplain, left the
cell.
He took leave of the reverend gentle-
man at the gate, entered his carriage,
and directed his ' coaceman to drive
home. When he arrived et Cb.eviot
House, he shut himself inleie own
apartments and gave his mind to pain-
ful reflections.'
• He felt convinced that Benjamin
Hurst was shielding the real murderer
witit his life, and that .the murderer
was William Juniper!
And yet, when he came to review the
evidence oven before the coroner's
jury, 'he could find riothing whatever
to eonaect young Juniper . with, the
crime,. -while there was very much to
• criminate young Hurst.
When Suzy had been astrontea by
Mr Stuart Fitzroy, it was not -Wil-
liam, Juniper, but Benjamin Hurst;
who became fired with just anger.
When Stuart Fitzroy left the house
in a state of intoxication that render-
ed hiin incapable of taking care of him-
self, it was not William Juniper, but
Benjamin,. Hunt, Who attended to
him. .
.And fie -ally, when the betty Of the
murdered man was discovered within
three minutes after the fatal deed, • it
was not eWillirun Juniper, but Benje-
rain Hurst, that was found standing
over thecorpse
And yet in the *eery face of thee
facts the Earl of Welirose felt conVince
ed, not only of Benjamin Hurst's in-
nocense, but also of William Juniper's
guilt.
Umnder these circu'stapies, how
should he proceed? •
Should he denounce Suzy's brother
to the proper authorities, and thus
become the, fatal agent in bringing him
to trial, 'end perhaps, to coedemnation
and death?
It was a horrible thought.
But even if he could bring himself
to accuse William Juniper of the mur-
der of Stuart Fitzroy, -whet evidence
had he to put forward ia support of
his accusation?
None whatever, except his own firm
moral conviction. And moral conyice
tion, however firm, is not leg's! evi-
dence. .
But yet, believing and feeling as Ile
did, should he ;leave poor Benjamin
Hurst to suffer for William Juniper,
the innocent for the guilty?
His painful reverie was interrupted
by the dressing bell ,and 'by the en-
trance of his valet.
He dressed and went down to the
drawing -room, where he found his
mother and sisters, the still be'autifeil
duchess •and her fair daughters.
They were discussing Some matter
of very distressing Interest, for even
their fair, calm faces bore signs of
much disturbance.
"How very shocking!" murmured
the, duchess, withpale cheeks.
Lord Wellroee thought his, mother
was referring to the recent murder in
Piccadilly, and as she had not address-
ed herself to • him, he did not feel
called upon t� make any commeet.
The next words undeceived him.
"How many did you say were unin-
jured, mammas?" lequired Lady Hester.
• "There were thirteea unfortunates
killed outright, my love, and thirty;
nine dangerously wounded," answered
the duchess.
"Whys what hashappened?" inquired
Lord Wellrose, aroused from his 'ab-
straction. •

answered the duchess, with'a shudder.
"Shocking, indeed! .•Why i I had not
heard of it! '•said the earl. • , • .
"The news came by telegroph to the
evening papers. There are bite feW'
particulars green. .13ut I supposes eve
;shall see all dbout it in to-morroW
morning's papers," .replied the duchess.
And at that moment the sliding
doors were run back and the grown,
of the efiamberb appeared, and said:
"Her grate is served." • •.*
"My father does not dine at home
to -day?' inquired the earl, as he gave
his mother his arm to lead .her in 16
dinner. • • " -
eel°, he is at Windsor. There ie a
Cabinet council," answered the duch-
ess, and the subject was dropped.
The next Mornihg the young ettrL
called by appointnient at Park Lane
to escort Suzy on her distressing visit
to poor Benjamin Hurtle. .
On reaching the house, he was
shown at onee into the rose parlor,
where he found Suzy with her pOnnet
on, waiting tor him. The poor girl
had ebanged, even within the last
twehty-four hours. She was fearfully
pale and wasted, though her manner
was more composed.than it bad been
en the preeeding day. .
"Oh, Lord' Wellrose, you did not.
quiet :me with false hepee yesterday,
did yeu.? You would not 'have givers
me false hopes even for that purpose,
would you?"' she inquired., in a be-
seeching volee,
"Indeed I would not, ray dearest
cher' he answered, earnestly.
"And Benny is really in ne immin-
ent danger"
"Indeed, no. He is nearly sure to
be acquitted."
"Nearly buret" osighed Suzy. "Oh,
Lord Welirose how awful to think
that there should be the remotest
chance 'Of his conviction" she cried,
wringing her hands. •
"Believe me, 1 do not. think that
there is. The evidence is not suffi-
dent te teriviet him; and, besides, we •
have retained Mr. Percy Melliss, the

"I understood so; yes," replied. the
Ntri, wondering.

.on, Lord Wellrose, there haebeen a
moat awfel railway accident in
France!" she added, grow1ng,pa1er;
"I know it, my love; a very horrible
catastrophe indeed, profoundly to be
deplored, But it does not concern your
brother in the least."
"Ah, I don't know. He may have
teen one of the victims."
"But, my dearest, your brother was
travelling, if I understand you, from
Dover to Paris. And this accident
happened between Paris and Mar-
seilles." •
.°Yes, I knew; I thought of that; but,
.still—" She paused and eighed.
"Still?" echoed the earl With an in-
quiring smile.
"Still I fear—I know not what or
Why. Perhaps I am 'awoman natur-
ally born to fears,' as poor Constance
says. And where there is doubt or dan-
ger, I fear the worst, rationally or ir-
rationally."
• AS .she spoke the carriage drew up
-before the gloomy walls of Newgate.
Upon the earl's applieation they
were at once. admitted within • the
• building, and Conducted firet"to the
chaplain's room. -

At the ,eaelee regeeet,, ..he willingly

'He rang for the proper person to at-

EFFACING TIME. -
. (Des Moines Register and Leader)
Bather a, striking quotation from the
late, john Muir was enade at the burial
of this author and naturalist who died in
California the day before Christmas.
"Longest Is the life that contains the
largest amount of time effacing enjoy-
ment; of which was made by John Muir
and quoted by his friend.
It suggests a point of view that with
all °Ur strenuous interest in life we are
likely to miss. Time need not Worry us ,
when we are absorbed with the joy which
inakee us forget time. We become ue-
mindful either of its dragging or of its
flylpg• when we concerti ourselves with
work that is a steady delight. Eyery,

as good as eternity for us. 'We can Only
live In the present anyway.
But eve have formed a habit of.looking
ahead and anticipating the end of our day
or our week or 'our year,' and of looking
back and regretting the beginning. And
we lege a good deal of the passing Ito-
mente in this rather futile occupation.
So war as we know it Might tarn out
that tiree IS only an illusion anyhow,
invented by mortals who aresighing for
'eternity. The wisest courseseems to

before us that the philosopher have
such difficulty in defining: and live It to

light." This 'would really end a, lot of
our dismay about the flight andpassingof time..

And bends an attentive ear,
And though war's alarm may bring

It stretches wide from m.y own fire-

At the far end stands the foe;
And though grim death meets my
eager breath,
I am ready and :glad to go.

The British may nat have set the facts
forth accurately, but, if they have, it
must be conceded here that their nation
exigency demands the fullest use of pro-
tective measures. Great Britain • has
taxed itself for generations to obtain
such control of the seas as would enable
it to adopt such military nicaeurea as
misht be needed in war. Germany has
taxed itself for generations to rrrovide
an army which would carry the war into
the other nation's, territory. Each has
succeeded in its programme.
Battles are fought ahrest everywhere
except in German Territory. 'Ports are
elesed except as the British permit ahem
to be open. The United States cannot
