He fancied it was chiefly to avo;d these that the Englishman turned towardthe bank just as they passed to gather a flower which grew high above his head. "What can this be, Cecil V' he re - ma rked. "Allow me, sir," said Frithiof, observing that it was out of the stranger's ,reach. He was two or three inches taller, and, with an adroit spring, was able to bring down theflower in triumph.

Merkhuger, Waterloo, Ont., enthusiastically recommends Na;Dru-Co Dyspepsia Tablets. Her experience with them, as she outlines it, explains why. "I was greatly 'troubled, with niy stomach", she writes. "I had taken' so much medicine that I might say to take any more would only be -making it worse.` My stomach just felt raw. I read of Na-Dru,Ca Dyspepsia Tablets, and a lady friend told me they were very easy to take, so I thought I would give them a trial andreally they worked wonders,. • Anyone Having anything wrong with .his stomach, should give �Ta-bru•Co Dyspepsia Tablets a trial, they will do the rest. My stomach is fine now and; I can eat any food," One of the many good features of Na•Drn-Co Dyspepsia Tablets is that they are so pleasant and easy to take. Tlie relief they give from heartburn, flatulence, biliousness and dyspepsia is prompt and permanent.

"We were hoping. to find the Linnaea," he sad, -handing it to his sister, while he opened a specimen tfn. "What delicate little bells!" she o, xelainaed.. "I quite agree with you that Linnaeus showed his good taste,' Frithiof would probably have passed on bad he not, at that mo - meat, 1'eeognized Cecil as the Eng- lish girl whom he had first accost- ed on the steamer. "Pardon nee for not knowing you before," he said, raising his hat. "We met yesterday afternoon, did we not? I hope you have had a pleasant time at Bergen?" 'Delightful, thank you, We thinik it. the most charming town we ever saiv.'' ((Barring r the rain,'' said Roy 'tfor which w-. have foolishly for We. ae ty gotten to reckon." "!Never be parted from your um- brella is a sound axiom. for this part of the world," said Frithiof, smil- ing. "Halloo : it is corning down in good earnest. I'ni afraid you will get very wwet," he said, glanc- ing at Cecil's pretty, gray travel- ing -dress, "Shall we stand up fox a .atain- ute under ti that porch, Roy V' tail the girl, glancing at a villa which they were just passing. 'No, no." said Frithiof; '`please take shelter with us. My father's villa is close by. Please come." And since Cecil was genuinely glad not to get wet through, and since Roy, though he cared nothing for the rain, was glad to have a chance of seeing the inside of a Norwegian villa, they accepted the kindly offer, and followed theii guide into the pretty, snug -looking house. Roy had heard a good deal of talk about sweetness and light, but he thought he had never realized the meaning of the words till the moment when he was ushered into that pretty Norwegian drawing- room, with its painted floor and groups of flowers, and its pink -tint- -ed walls, about which the green ivy wreathed itself picturesquely, now twining itself round some mirror picture -frame, now forming a sort of informal frieze round the whole room, its roots so cleverly hidden away in sheltered corners or on un- obtrusive brackets that the growth had all the fascination of mystery. The presiding genius of the place, and the very center of all that charmed, stood by one of the win- dows, the light falling on her gol- den hair. She had taken off her hat and was flicking the rain -drops from it with her handkerchief when Frithiof introduced the two Boni - faces, and Roy; who found his novel experience a little embarrassing, was speedily set at ease•'by her de- lightful naturalness and frank courtesy. Her bow and smile were grace, it- self, and she seemed to take the whole proceeding as'a natter of course one might have supposed that she was in the habit of shel- tering wet Tourists every 'qday of her life. "I am so glad my .brother found yogi," she .exclaimed. "You would have been wet through had you walked on to Bergen Swanhild,. run and fetch a duster; oh, you have brought one already, that's a good child. Now let me wile your dress;" she added, turning to Cecil, "VGThere has every one cls .ap fear- ed to 2'' asked Frithiof. "Fathei has `walked on to Holdt's Hotel` with the Morgans,'' said Swanhild.

"Then I should give up going to.. Christiania or Trondhjen if I were you. They will not interest yon halt as much as this south-west coast." "But, Sigrid, it is impossible to leave out Kongswold; ;and Dombaas. For you are a botanist, are you not?" said Frithjof, -Walling to the. Englishman; '&andhose laces are. perfection" for flowers," p "Yes? Then you must certainly go there,"said Sigrid. "Kongswold is a dear little place up on the Dovrefjeld, Yet if you were not botanists I should say you oughtto see instead either the Yoringsfos or the Skjaeggedalsfas, they are ear two finest waiter -falls." "The Skedaddle -fes, as the Amer- icana call: it," put in Frithiof. "You have a great many Amen- can tourists, I suppose'?' said Roy. "Oh, yei, a great many. and. we like thein very well, though, not as we like the English. To the Eng- lish we, feel very much akin," "And you, speak our language so we'll" said Cecil, to whom the dis- eovery had been a surprise and a re- BeL t'Yon see we Norwegians thinka t ereat deal, of education.

Then when we were six- teen we went to Christiania. he to', the Randels-gymnasium, and I to Miss Batter's school, for two years. My little sister is now at the ;middle school here; she goes every day, but just now it is holiday time." "And in holidays," said Swan-! hied, whose English was much leas fluent and ready, "we go away. We perhaps go to -morrow to Balholni," "Perhaps we shall meet you again there," said Sigrid. "Ole, do come there; it is such a lovely place." Then followed a discussion about flowers, in which Sigrid was also in- terested, and presently Herr Feick returned, and added another pic- ture of charming hospitality to the group that would always remain in the minds of the English travelers; and then there was afternoontea, which proved a great bond of un- ion, and more discussion of English and Norwegian customs, and much laughter and merriment and light- heartedness. When at length the rainceased and Roy and Cecil were allowed to leave for Bergen, they felt as if the kindly Norwegians were old friends. "Shall you -be very much disap- pointed if we give up the Skedaddle- fos ?" asked Roy., -,"It semis to me that a water -fall is a water -fall all the world ever, but that we are not likely to meet everywhere with a family like that." "0h, by all means give it up," said Cecil, gayly. "I would far ra- ther have a few quiet days at Bal - holm. I detest toiling after the things everyone expects you to see. Besides, we can always be sure of finding the Skjaeggedalsfos in Nor- way, but we can't tell what may happen to these delightful people:" (Te be continued.) est - Tea At Its Best �" SALA A" TEA is always the same, no matter When or where you buy it is the choicest tea—green, black or mixed --from the finest ted,.,. growing country inthe world—Ceylon, with its exquisite flavor and freshness protected by the sealed lead packages. o. a O LONQEI? `EAR SMALLPDX. . Doctors Bible to Prevent Former- Fearkn,I Pocksisarks,, Smallpox is no longer feared by civilized mankind. This is partly due, no doubt, to the immamizatfon of the races through vaccination, and partly to the better methods of sanitation and preventive treat:- ment generally. In the ,first year, of our occupation of the Philli- pines, where smallpox was then an epidemic or constant disease, there were 2-1Q deaths. A system of rigid vaccination was adopted, and in the last fire'ears there, have been only J fiveeases and not single death. The army records in Porto Rico tell the same story, and seem to prove beyond question the efficacy of vaccination, Dr, S. 0, Rocklin', of C'incinnatti, reports that he bas bad miseh success in preventing the pock marking of the lace in small- pox eases by painting the pustules with a lotion of nine parts glycerine and one part iodine. By this treat- ment also the patients get over the, attack in from eight to fifteen days. Others prevent the pitting by keep- ing the patients in a room There. no TWA, whatever but red lightenters. —New York Herald, You can always tell a belle by her rings; "Both men and women want to conceal their age, and for much the same reason, Men wish to appear older than they are in order to rule sooner, and women wish to appear younger than they are in order to rule longer."
