DO YOU WANT

This is the kind of cure that has
set Windsor people thinking and talk-
ing about Dr, Chase's Nerve Food,
The action of this food cure Is so
radically different to the usual treat-

tainly it nourishes the starved nerves

fits obtained are both thorough and

They Can be Had by Keeping the
Blood Rich, Red and l'ut'e.
Every woman _ every girl — wants
pink cheeks. They mean not only
beauty but good health. When a wo-
man's blood is scanty or anaemic, her
color fades, she looks debilitated, is
short of breath and her heart palpi-
tates after slight exertion. Sometimes
this trouble is accompanied by severe
headaches, or pains in the back or
sides. This condition is entirely due
to weak, watery blood, and can only
be cured by Making the blood rich, red
and pure. for this .purpose there is
nothing can equal Dr. Williallns' Pink
Pil1S, which act directly upon the
blood, and in this way bring new
health and strength to weak, oiling
people. Itirs. Anderson, Hearst, Ont,,:
says:—"Beforecoming, to Canada from:

pocket a small case, which he silently
handed across the table, Mr. Rosen-
baum opened it, disclosing, as he did
se, a pair of diamonds of moderate size,
but of unusual brilliancy and perfectly

scrutinizing them closely, while his face
indicated considerable dissatisfaction,
"What does your friend expect for
these?" he asked at length.
"What will you give for then?" was
the counter -question,
"I do not care to set a price on them,

By this time the first cab, having
turned a corner a short distance ahead,
was out of sight, but Rosenbaum, con-
vinced from the direction taken of its
destination, and knowing amore direct
"I think," said Mr, Mannering, "that
my friend would dispose of them at n
reasonable figure, as he is at present
in need of ready cash with which to
consummate an important minks; nego-
tiation."
After considerable fencing and parry-
ing, Mr. Rosenbaum made an offer for
the gens, to which Mr. Mannering de-
murred.
•'Show me a higher class of gems
arid 1 will offer you a better price,"
said Mr. Rosenbaum, finally seeming to
grow impatient. "Show me one like
this, for instance, and 1 will offer you
a small fortune," and opening a case
which he had quickly drawn from his
Pocket, he took froset it an enormous
diamond, beside whose dazzling brilli-
ancy the pair of gems under considera-
tion seemed suddenly to grow dim and
lustreless. •He held it up -and a thou -
send rays of prismatic light flashed in
as many different directions.
"What do you think of that, my
dear sir? When 1 can find a match
for the magnificent stone, we can fill
an order which we have held for more
than twelve months from the royal
house Ln Germany. But where will 1
find it?'" •
Twirling the gem carelessly between
his thuanb and finger, he watched the
face of. his companion atd• saw it
change to deathly pallor.
"May L see that for one moment?"
he asked, and his, voice sounded un-
natural and constrained, while the hand
which he extended across the table
,tretnbled visibly., ,
."'Most . certainly, sir," Mr. Rosen-
baunt replied, and, is compliance with
the request, handed to Mr. Manering
the getn which the latter had himself
. disposed. of less titan three months
before in one of the large Westrn cities.
Nothing could escape the piercing eyes
now fastened upon. that ,face with its
strange pallor, its swiftly changing ex-

recovered himself, and, replacing the
colored glasses,. remarked with a forced
composure,—
"That is ti magnificent stone. May 1
tisk when and where you found it?"
"1 picked it up in one of your cities
some three, months ago, maybe, more
or less."
"You bought it in this country,
then? Why may you not expect to
match It here?"
"Simply en the theory, lay dear sir,
that the lightning never strikes twice
in the same place."
"Well, sir," said Mr. N(ttnneeing,
calmly, "1 wilt show you a stone so
perfect a match fur that, you yourself
could not distinguish between the
two."
"You have such it diamond:" Mr.
Rosenbaum 31 exclaimed; "why then are

pushed the smaller diamonds from him
with a gesture of contempt, "Why did

"Because," replied 01r.. neutering,
his composure now fully• restored, I
do not propose to produce it until 1

"My dear sir," Mr. Rosenbaum's
tones became eager, " as 1 have already

placing it on the table between them,

he carefully opened, anti, taking there-
