OUR NEW SERIAL STORY , THE TRUE LAVE OF AARON BURR. by Louise Kennedy Mable ' (Continued from last week) The party, drew nearer, and one of them held high a lantern, Isaac was• prominent upon the box, gasping and rolling his eyes, The "red devils" were upon hint, 'Please, Mister British; -let me goi 1 ain't done notlein'1 I ain't a'goin' to do nutatin'1 Don't hurt ole nigger— "Isaac," carie a cutting voice from ,the carriage, "you are a disgrace to my service!" The men pushed closer about the coach, and the one with the light flash-: edit into the window, Girls upon the threshold of women - hood often drift into a decline in spite of all care and attention. How often one sees girls who have been strong and lively become suddenly weak, de- pressed, irritable and listless. It is the dawn of womanhood—a crisis in the life of every girl—and prompt mea- sures should be taken to keep the bloodure and rich with the red tint of health. If the blood is not healthy at this critical stage the body is weak- ened and grave disorders follow. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have saved thou - ands of young girls from what might have been lifelong invalidism] or an early death. They are a blood -builder of unequalled richness, strengthening weak nerves and producing a liberal suply of red, healthy blood which every girl needs to sustain her strength. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have proved their great value over and over again to young Miss A. whose Sternberhealth H as le'bur Road, New Liskeard, Ont., says —' I have much reason to be grateful to Dr. Williams'Pink Pills as they restored nee to health, if indeed, they did not save my life. In 1914 1 began to feel run down, and the doctor who was called in said that mine was a bad case of anaemia. 1 lost flesh, always felt tired, and 1 got so nervous that I could scarcely hold a cup to take a drink. My heart would flutter alarm- ingly. The doctor did not seem to be able to help ane, at all and my family and friends ale thought that 1 was in a decline and could not recover. I was in bed for some weeks when an aunt sane to see me and urged that 1 try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My father got a supply, and by the time 1 had taken three boxes there was a notice- able improvement, and from that on 1 steadily progressed toward recovery. I continued using the pills for some time longer, and they restored me to my old time health and strength. 1 shall never cease to praise this medi- cine, and to urge all weak run down girls to give it a fair trial as l have proved in my own case their great merit." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 1$2,50 from The Dr, Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

FOItD & we��ou "What can I do for you, gentle- men?" went on Mistress Prevost calmly, never blinking in the glare of the lantern. "Why are you stopping about my carriage?" "Two of 'em," broke out Hoarse Voice, "and a boy. Both of 'em beau- ties, or l'm'a Frenchy." "1 won the pot o' beer," put in the' drunken voice. "Ye liel" The fierceness of the tone reduced the claimant to silence. It was a party oftseven, the horses loaded with plunder. One man was just visible overa hugefeather-bed; another playfully sported a woman's bonnet, his arms filled with clothing. The drunken man carried a goose under one arm, and just now wiped his tears upon it, much to its hissing indignation. All but the leader were loaded down, their uni forms mud -caked, their beasts fagged, A successful scouting party, upon the face of it Suddenly a new force came upon the scene. The small boy spoke. "Go away from my mother, big, dirty redcoats!" One cried, eyes flashing de- fiance, and then, manhood proven, hid his face in his mother's sleeve. There was a laugh from the men that was half a snarl. "Ho, ho, my young rooster!" called Hoarse Voice. "Ye crow like a bloody rebel. Let's have a look at ye!" He got down from his horse and put a dirty hand in at the window. Mis- tress Prevost spoke quickly. • "Do not dare to touch Minn!" Her face was white as the drift of her powdered hair, and her eyes twin dan- ger signals. The man drew back a step at the look she blazed upon him, but a laugh from the trooper in the woman's bonnet enraged him. !-1e put out his hand again. "Come out o' that, ye young rebel," he cried roughly. "You will regret any harm you do, us," cried the lady. "We are not rebels. 1 an the widow of a British officer, who died serving his king in the Indies. This is his child. We have powerful friends. 1 warn youl" At another moment her earnestness might have carried conviction, but to these men, swelled with pride at their undisturbed plundering, crazed by the applejack imbibed at the last farmhouse —to these thieves and cut-throats, who found their evil opportunity ready made in the ravaged country near New York, it was no more than the rustle of the autumn wind in the leaves. They did not listen. "You young rips Let's see if ye can dance to the tune of 'Little Billy Whip Lash." He made a dive for the child. The mother clenched her small fist, and as the man leaned across her, struck him furiously in the face. He turned and caught her wrist. "So, my lady," he muttered, "ye'll strike me, no less? I've changed my mind. Ye'll both come outl" "You brute!" she panted with a sob. "You beast!" He was pulling at the door, and got it open. With a jerk of her wrist he dragged her down the steps. The boy was weeping bitterly. "Sawyer, pull out the bratl" Isaac prayed loudly upon the box seat until a soldier cuffed him into silence. Sawyer advanced upon the coach, but stopped near the steps and hesitated. A girl stoodupon the top step, her whip ready. "Corrie a little nearer," she said to the man. "I'd like to lay your cheek well open Truly, brave English sol -4 diers you are, to wage war upon two women and a childt Your king world be proud ,of you. When we report your conduct at headquarters they will re- ward you handsomely—seven men against two women and a child!" "Stop her mouthl" shouted Hoarse Voice, and Sawyer bent his head and made a rush, two others at his heels. Quick as he was, the whip came down, and a red wale showed on his cheek.She lashed him again, and once again, be- fore they jerked the whip away. One man plucked the boy out. "Now we will have a little dancing," said Hoarse Voice, and the mother cov- ered her eyes. Once the lash calve down upon ,tke boy's back. He stood white and rigid, uttering no sound, Mistress Prevost stretched out her Arris to him, teats running down her face. "My little sonl" she moaned.

STORMY WEA.THEB HABB ON BABY • The stormy blustery weather which we have during February and March is extremely hard on children, 'Con- ditions make it necessary for tate nwpt- her to keep thein in the house. They are often confined to overheated, bad- ly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole. system, To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the house and. an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels work- ing regularly. This will not fail to break up colds and keep the health of the baby fn good condition till the brighter days come along. The Tab- lets are sold by medicine dealers ort by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Cp., Brockville, Ont. LEND A HAND.

The lens at the upper end of a re- fracting telescope le called the object glass. It oolleots the rays of light and brings themtogether at a focus to farm an image, which Is viewed with a magnifying eyepiece. The largest refracting telescope is the well-known Terkel instrumcatt. 7l utas an object glass forty inches es diameter. But the biggest refecting teieseopo in the world bolongs to Canada. Thin has been erected at Victoria, B.L. , which le only a short jonrnee from Vancouver by 0. P. R. steamers. In e reflecting telescope, the light le collected by reflection from the stir - :Moe of a concave mirror. If tele surface is ground to a parabolic taupe, the rays will all come t0• gather at a single point to forts an budge, filet as with the retracting ielosoope; but this point will be situ entail on the same gide of the mirror ss the obleet Inial lienee the ohnerval who tries to look at a star will find his head in hie own line of vision. in order to overcome this difficulty, a second reflection is made to tate place so its to deflect the beam of light and form the Image at one side cf the tubo, where 1t may easily be examined with an eyepiece. this second reflection is acrontpllshed by means of a plane mirrot' or "flat" in- serted In the upper end of the tube and sot at an angle of 470. This tint will necessarily cut off sane of the light falling upon the principal nate- rot, but since It is not large and since its supports are made 5s slen- der as possible, there is no serious loss.
