The midday train from civilisation So the wilds had just passed Duna- gherwith manly shrieks of the engine 'and much waving of hands from the cerrfage windows. D,unagher was the most exciting- point on the new railway line, for here the train started on its adventure over the long bridge across the bog, front the mountain gap to the firm rocks of Clontella— a perilous journey, so' every one said, for those tall granite piers that held the iron bridge might sink any day; the engineers who had built the bridge had found no foundation in Clontella Bog, At the first shriek of the engine the peasants working in their little patches of ground on the side of the mountain hurried to the nearest point from which they could see the train, old woman rose from their turf fires to peer out at their cabin -doors, and children herding the cattle far up the steep rocks ran like fawns "to watch her make the journey of the bridge," The passengers in the train 'shared the excitement -that is to say, those passengers who knew the nature e4 Clontella Bog. The young naen and women leaned out of the carriage win- dows and waved their hands to the sympathetic audience on the mountain- side. The older men and women closed their eyes and said, their prayers, English tourists crossed the bridge unconscious of their danger; but then they travelled first-class, and for this reason were alone. Could they have have heard the conversation in the third-class compartments it is poss- ible they would never have crossed the bridge again—certainly• they would have spent most part of the next day writing indignant letters to the Times on the condition of Irish railways. To -day an English tourist was trav- elling:third-class, to the bewilderment of her companions in the compartment. She was a tall, slim young woman, not more than twenty-five years of age, elegantly dressed in gray, a fine white muslin blouse showing beneath the Perfectly -fitting coat. She sat at the carriage wndow, her hands crossed on her lap, a sad expression in her beaut- fui brown eyes, Once or twice her fellow -passengers looked at her with timid curiosity, as if wondering why such a fine lady should have chosen to travel third class; but she did not appear to notice then', her whole attention was given to the scenery through which she was taaveiling. Certainly it was a wonder- ful land, mountains stretching away one behind the otter, long valleys running down to a turquoise -blue sea, here a gorge of gray rocks and purple heather, there a brown stream fringed with tall ferns, now a lake like a clear jewel, now the bare nsountan-side, witia tittle cart -tracks leading away to lonely cabins. At the first shriek of the engine the lady look up as if she was going to speak, then changed her mind and turned once more to the window. Tier companions, occupied with their Sown excitement, paid no attention. One of them, a thin -faced woman with a shawl over her head, began at once to tell her beads; the other, a young Man with a good-humored freckled face, - shouted encouragement to the engine -driver from his side of the train. When the bridge was crossed safely the young man drew in his head and the woman hurriedly put other, "California Syrup of Figs" is Child's Best Laxative Bewarel Say "California" or you may not get the genuine "California Syrup of Figs" which doetore recom- mend for babies and children of all ages, , Nothing else cleans the little bowels and regulates. the child's etotnaoh ,and liver so gently, so thoroughly.

The lady in the corner turned to then( and spoke, "Surely that was Cioutelhl Bog?' she asked, "It was that!" replied the young man cheerfully, i"And the train crosse:i. it. How strange " she murmured. "Ay, 1 saved, mebby, ten mile by that wee bit of danger!" remarked the m9111. '7 remember we used to go round by the road above Dunmore," said the lady, more as if she was speaking to herself than to her companiotss. The womse with the shawl over her head looked up. "Would ye be from these parts, mem?" she asked politely, I . The lady hesitated, then answered in a strange dreamy tone— , "Yes; long, long ago—so long that i have forgotten—" She turned her face, once more to the window. The two peasants looked away immediately. Evidently the Eng- lish lady did not wish to talk. Their gentle manners showed no resent- ment of her desire to be left alone, For some. distance they travelled in silence, then the lady turned to there again. "I wonder if either of you know Peter Moore of Tallack and if he is still alive?" she asked. 'rhe peasant woman hesitated for a moment before she replied. "1 knew hint well; an' a decent civil man he was!" she said. "He died last year." The lady's eyes filled with' tears. "Axing yer pardon, mem, but would he be any friend to you?" asked the woman. "He was the only relative I had in the world; he was my uncle," was the answer. "Ye're from America?" ventured the woman', "1 am," replied the stranger. "1 left Tatlack fifteen years ago, when 1 was only a child." The kind eyes of the peasant woman searched her face. I saa»'t mind ye who ye are," she said. The young than, who had been listening but had not joined in the conversation, now crossed the compart- ment, "Well, then, 'nether, I know her rightly!" he exclaimed laughing. "I mind them two eyes of hers as well as if they were in my own face She's wee Maggie—Maggie Moore Many's the time she chased me for my life when I'd be up at Tallac\ stealin' her uncle's apples, "And you—who are you!" inquired the lady. "I'm Patsy Brogan. Don't ye mind pie?" he asked. I've forgotten nearly everything! answered the stranger. "Only the country—that is the same; I myself am another person." It'll all come back to yet said Patsy's mother, "I've heard many Americans saying' that all the past comes over them like a rushing rivers" "All the past!" repeated the young wothsn. "One has so many pasts, and everything that belongs to Ire- land and my childhood is buried beneath them ails "Ye'll he goin' to Taliack?" asked Mrs. Brogan. "Ye'Il not find that much changed." - "Then Tallack is not sold or let?" asked the I. dy eagerly. "I was afraid- "Deed, then, it's yerself fit's waitin' on l" interposed the woman, "Peter Moore died with no kin helongiti' hien except the brother Thou>,as that went away to America. Thomas, to be sure, would be yer own father! Now I mind ye well! Thomas went out to America when ye would be no more than wean, an' ' come hone and fetched ye -1t would be fifteen year an' morel , "Yes, now you know mel" said 11'e lady, with' a faint smile, "An' Peter heard no word of Thomas —was he dead or alive, But he left the place to him, and to his children after hiiii if he was gone!" "There was only myself. My fat- her died on the voyage nut to Amer- ica,'" 'Oeh, ooh, an' yott no more than a wee ()Niel Left yer lone like'thati" exelglined the woman, 'iI• found friends'" said Miss Moore quickly, The train by this- time reechd Clontella; and as site "'spoke it drew up with n Jerk at the ugly, ilttle stn- tion. Mrs, brogan and her, iett pre- pered to get Out, "Ye'li 'be up to see us?" asked the Woman kindly, "Me tut' Patsy'11 be looking for yes It's the wee ifouse above the lake!' , "Now then, toy good woman, are you getting out or are you not? sjiid a voice behind her, A stout red-faceel • map dressed in brown honie-spun , was waiting with two ladies at tke carriage loor. Mrs, Brogan drew back full of apologies, and Patsy, after he•_had shaken hands with Maggie Moore, folliwed his mother, Their place was taken by the red-faced than and the twoladies, ant the train started, 'Phe new -comers seemed strangely familiar to Maggie. Surely she must have 'net them some- where abroad. ' . Tlse`maa was staring openly at her Nis if he had a right to know who she was and what was' her basinss in this part of the world. He had the air of a bropriotor too, as though the coun- try was his own, Mies Moore knew that, given the slightest opportunity, he would begin to point out the beaut- ies of fhe scenessy to her.0 His daugh- ters --obviously they were his daugh- ters—looked ,gold and insolent. They stared at Maggie from heights of superiority. 'Continued Next Week GLAD HE TRIED * TONIC TREATMENT Through Its Use Strength and Vigor Was Restored. To be tired after exertion is natq- ral. Rest and food restore the body to normal after such fatigue. But to be tired all the time is a symptom of an ausaemic condition that will not be corrected until the blood is built up. Such an anaemic condition is • so gradual in its approach and generally so lacking in acute pains that it is often difficult to persuade the suffer- er to do anything for it. But it is not a condition that corrects itself. If the blood is not enriched the trouble will increase. The nerves will be undernourished and neuralgic pains will follow. Digestive disturbances often result from thin blood, sleep is disturbed and a general breakdown may occur. Mr. Wilson Johnson, Nineveh, N. S. says: "A few years ago my system was in, a badly run down condition. My nerves seemed always on edge, and I found myself so weak that I could hardly do any work. I suffered from headaches and from pains in the back and under the shoulders, and was often so helpless at night that when morning alma I felt as tired as when I went to bed. 1 was taking medicine all the time, but it was doing"me no good. Then I read the testimonial of a man , whose con- dition had been similar to mine, and who strongly recommended Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. 1 decided to give this medicine a fair trial, and when I had taken six boxes 4 felt much bet- ter. I continued taking the pills until I had taken six more boxes, and I can only say I am glad 1 did so, as I am now enjoying the best of health, and I advise all men who feel run down to give these pills a good trial."

The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks distinctly an epoch in their lives, Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E.

A RECIPE On the woolen's page of this paper it is cestoinary to publish recipes for dishes wherewith to tempt the jadded appetite. What about a recipe for to -day? Not a thing of lettuce and sauce and succulent fruits but a recipe of philosophy. Opinion will differ, but there is much to be said for these ingredi- ents: .A good proportion of work with about one-quarter of recreation. A little humor. A little kindliness. A thought or two on 'things that are not of the moment but belong to the ages. A little time with books,. Some music and a friend or two. A little sorrow, for sorrow lends the strength of understanding. A little struggle. Mix all these things in the bowl of circumstance—and behold! You have a day.

Tho Risen King Meets the Women (vv. 8-10.) The women quickly obeyed the corns mend of the angel and were 'running to bring the disciples word. Jesus met them on the way.
