She laughed, and blushed, and looked
very pretty; but if she eould an;y have
seen into his heart, hers would have
throbbed with jealous anger indeed. She
fancied herself desperately in love with
handsome Pale St. Maur, and was begin-
ning to resent attentions to any rival. Of
the extreme and undeniable beauty of
Christine Fer'rington she had secretly
been jealous for a long time; and it was
that which now made her, in the course
of the very first week, fix upon her as
the horrid woman who no doubt would
like to catoh rich Mr. Orde's heir.
"It's she who flirts," she told herself,
• "Widows are so bold and impudent! I
always thought erncle was deceived in
her. I believe she meant to win hire, but
she saw it was useless. If"—the girl,
alone in her own r'eonl, stepped before
the ehevai.glass. "Yes, she is very band-
. some, and men will gather about and
flirt with anybody good-loolcing in a

to amuse themselves with her as if ber

eron, an ex -ship's stewardess --.!earl! ab-

fortune; how could they dream of any-

marry to please his uncle, or he'll lose
the fortune! Mrs, Darnley hinted what
the old gentleman wished plain enough,'
glancing admiringly at her own image,
"and if I could only get that woman
out of the way, I should certainly have
what the dear fellow calls 'a walk -over,

thing intangible. Hal he has never ask-
ed to see her marriage certificate, or
even where she has married, I do be-
iieve--nay, bei sure of it! Why, she
might be—anything--and if I could find
out any deception or flaw in her pre-
vious credentials, Uncle Ito}o world not
keep her. She has been with some

I wonder if she knows anything of Mrs.
Errington's anteeedents? It is very

so easily have put on ignorance. Well, 1

lender had taken his second cap, his
�visll -no more curiosity --was unexpect-
edly' gratified, for he heard the sound
of many horses' hoofs down the road,
• and peeping cautiously --for he had no
all wish to be reeoguizod---he beheld a ride
ing party advancing rapidly, and he
1 knew at once the graceful figure of the
foremost rider.
ud "My handsome gambler!" ho mutter -
'n ed; and I see Rahmee, too, in the rear,
-- with. a groom,"
ai In the neat minute the party swept
lis up to the hostelry, eight or •nine of
s- them, with a groom and the Indian in
attendance, and almost before he drew
rein, Falconer -lead leaped to the ground,
flinging the Arab's bridle to Rahmee,
e little dreaming of the pair of keen, eag-
? er eyes that were watching him for a
o sign, rapidly scanting the woman for the
one he called wife.
, " "1.1, Jove! that superbly handsome
woman, reining in her restive horse .etn-
e der thin window—never that blue-eyed
doll who has just alighted."
t Turning quiekly from Blanche the in -
r, slant she touched terra firma, St, Maur
was at his wife's sidu�--no one quite
near, all talking, laughing, hoofs tramp-
ling—only those' sharp, kindly eyes and
ears above, unseen, unsuspected.
"My darling ---my Christine!" ho said,
low and passionately, and lifted her from
the saddle.
The money lender leaned back in his
chair with a softening of every rugged
feature and line that it seemed scarcely
the same face.
"Your d tr'ling---your Christine:" he
repeated. "Yee, she is that, and chill
be in literal truth your Christine. What
prophetic inspiration made them bap-
tize her that beautiful name, I wonder?
But she should surely go back to the
man; she'll do more with hint at his
side, and it is her right place."
Ay, with the honor that was Iter due,
but not under the upas shadow of
sleuno.
The hall party had evidently been
out for a long ride, and stopped for tea

hear them in the large private parlor

Anaemia is sirnply a lack of blood. It

'nen I carne;l to Red Deer,
some years
ago, a young girl, I had been suffering
for a couple of years from anaemic
blood. Doctors had done everything for
me that could be done, but to no pur-
pose. The doctors said I could not live,
but that a change of climate might pro-
long my life, so my father brought me
to Alberta. For a short time I did seem
to improve, but soon became as bad, if
not worse, than before I left Ontario
I could not walk upstairs, walk on the
street, or stand in a room for more than
a few minutes without fainting. Life
was a burden and I did not care whether
I lived or not, and had given up hope
of getting better. It was at this time
Dr. Williams' Pink l,'i11s were brought
to my attention, and a supply was got
for are. After 1 had nsed the second
box I thought 1 felt some better, and I
continued taking the Pills until i felt
like a new person. I could walk, ride a,
bicycle and skate without the dreadful
pains in my limbs I had before experi-
enced, and in every way I was enjoying
better health than ever before in 'my
life, Now, wherever I feel the need of a,

Complexity of i;,,odern Stage.
The installation of a complete tele-
phone system for the stage of the New
Theatre in New York city illustrates

only
the variety et
of to

says uTh.e Scientific
American, but also the vastness and
complexity of the up-to-date stage, The
stage telephone syetem Inas nine stations
on the stage and 25 floor stations, with
two switchboards or central stations.
Through these centrals, inter -communi-
cation with to other stations may be
;tad. From one of these central stations
the technical director controls tho op-
erations of the stage hands, while the
other board is the stage manager's sta-
tion. The regular stations are placed
in the prompter's booth, the electri-
cian's booth, the stage galleries, and
one is lccated near the orchestra leader.
Calls are made by operating push but-
tons from either of the central stations,
and they serve to flash a bulI's eye sig-
nal or to operate a buzzer, depend-
ing upon which of two buttons is press-
ed. The theatre is also equipped with a
