The moon had climbed far into the

returned to Brockley Park after his in-
terview with the Cruses.
Although he had failed in his errand,
his spirits were in no way dashed. Oh

the rupture between her and Lady
Cruse, he had guessed by her manner

ward might Le. That reward Ito meant

turned to him.

as he pus+teal his chair hack. "We aro

"Both are possible," he replied non

"Have you been strolling round to

the other in a tone of stock disappot nl-

DAIRY AND STOCK.
Sine° dairymen are getting better
prices for milk, they are not ashamed
to look the cow in the fare.
1t takes as much judgment to buy
slack to feed for th . butchers as it
does to purchase a stock of ['terchan•

Do your sheep owe you anything?
If they do it is your fault. Poor selec-
tion. neglect or careless feeding Ls the
root of the trouble.
The farrier with a blg bunch of
marketable hags has that conlfurtable
feeling which conies of having money

Neuilly Bridge
TIm villages of Neuilly-sur-
Seine and Courbevole, in France,
are built upon opposite banks of
the river Seine. At the time our story
begins–about 1003–one journeyed from
one to.an to tete o:her on a flatboat,
s::rpended ovethc_d by a cable and
poled across the stream by ferrymen.
The Icing. Henry IV, was petitioned by
the villagers for a bridge. But the king
replied that it would coat too much, and
besides, it was not really needed.
Two years later the king, with Queen
Diary, had occasion to cross the Seine
at this point. The royal coach was
placed upon the boat. In tho middle of
the stream, however. the horses took
fright and jumped Into the river, car-
rv.ng the king and queen along with
them. 'There was grc3t excitement until
the kingwas rescued.

Neuilly, and said it was extraordinary
the state had not attended to It before,
But not enough money was furnished
for tt.e building of the bridge, mud by
the time all was at-ent It etal lacked a
parapet on each elle. In this stat•, of
course, 1t was very oitngeroua for trav-
elers, and several peri -mos fell over the
unprotected eldea end were drow:,.• 1 In
the river below.
Thirty years afterward, during tee
reign of ].cuts XiII. the citizen', of the
two towns rent another delegation cf
citizens to court to ask that the bridge
be made safe. The king replied, through
it favorite duke, that the bridge ons all
right as 1t was and that it parapet was
useless.
Some days later the duke was obliged
to travel that way. Before he reached
the bridge the horses leek the bits 1•
their teeth and bolted. in dashing over
the bridge one of the horses swerved
from his course, went over the edge
and dragged the other horse and the
conch with him. The poor duke and his
drteghter, who accompanied him, were
nearly drowned.
No sooner was he assisted nut of the
water than he commanded that it para-
pet be placed immediately aeon each
side of the dangerottn bridge. He

It's a heavy strain on mother.
Her system is called upon to supply
nourishment for two.
Some form of nourishment that will
be easily taken up by mother's system
is needed.
Scott's Emulsion contains the
greatest possible amount of nourish -
meat in easily digested form.
Mother and baby are wonderfully
helped by its use.
