And now he discovered, suddenly.,
that he was not the only'person inter-
ested in the agitated girl. His atter.•
tion was somehow drawn to a man

her;

dent of some kind,

A {age of color
appeared in her cheeks; but Van Vech-
ten observed that the terror and de-
sPair still lingered in her eyes.
Van Vechten turned kis attention
to the man with something like resent-
ment stirring in his bosom, for the fel.
low's manner suggested a proprietary
relationship toward the girl. which, foi-
e reason he did not attempt just then
to explain, made him angry, As far,
as attire went, the man was present-
able enough; but Van Vechten was not
favorably Prepossessed by the sullen,
battered countenance, the coarse,
Sandy hair, nor the big, loose-jointed,
powerful body.,
Then the cautioning glance was of a
sudden accounted for; the man, satis-
tied that the girl had caught his mean-
ing, showed that he had noted 'Van
Vechten s more than casual regard, by
a vindictive look from a pair of steely
gray eyes—a look at once so keen and
truculent and challenging' that its re-
clpient was for the moment dune
founded.
However, Van Vechten's' puzzlement
over this strange bit of byplay, his en,
grossing admiration of the girl's
beauty, was broken rudely in upon by
a euddet, confused movement of the
crowd, With clangingbell and a
noisy clatter of iron -shod hoofs upon

The :Old Fashioned Purging

is Now. Done Away With.
Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills gently
unlock the secretions, clear away all
waste and effete matter from thesystem,
and give tone and vitality to the whole
intestinal tract. ,
They do this by acting directly on the
liver, and making the bile pass through
the bowels instead of allowing it to get
into the blood, and thus causing consti-
pation, jaundice catarrh of the stomach
and similar troubles. •
Mrs. L. M. ttatchford, Peterboro, Ont.,
writes: "Having been troubled for
years with constipation, and trying many
'different remedies which did ane no good
whatever, I was asked to try Milburn's
Laza-Liver Pills. I have found them
most/ beneficial, for they are indeed
seta dud pills, and I Can gladly recent'

lime is not realized until a num-
ber of months after application.
Therefore it is practicable
utilize the opportunities afforded „
by the autumn or eventhe win-

to make the application on the

geous if the lime can be iutimate

applied to the land, but we are

that the question of just when
