the party, who were clustered to- ,lamed. "You will find a great

Swanhild like a man in a dream.
Before long, much to his -discom-
fort, he saw in front of thein the
two English tourists, and though his
mind was all in a tumult with ,this
new perception of his love for
Blanche, yet the longing to make
up for her ill-judged remark, the de-
sire to prove that he did not share
in her prejudice, was powerful too.
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.

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. By this time the others
were some little way in advance. He
looked rather wistfully after
Blanche, and fancied disapproval

"MY $TQMAZII -IS FINE
Since Taking Na-Dru•Co Dyspepsia Tabid's"
Mrs. J. 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. Try one after
each meal --they'll make you feel like
a new person.

te, It is a beau-
tiitil' flower,"
lioy, Boldface thanked him heart-
ily for his help. "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. They would glut wait,
though we tried to persuade them
to. Father; is going to atalk over
the it route; with 'blit rn "
Cecil saw a momentary look of
annoyance on his face; but the next
minute he w•ae talking as pleasant-
ly a,,s:.,possible to l?o;,, and_ before`
long tho lf:St:1on of )urates was :be-

Swanhild "mentioned others which.
mast on n0 account be )missed,
"And you ean really' anly' spare
a mouth for it all?." asked Sigrid.
"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-

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:"

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

You can always tell a belle by her
