a few minutes' running, passed her.

and drawing nearer.
"Wow -wow," came the shorter,

much nearer than before and more in
front. They were trying to head off
their prey.
Ranald tugged at his colt till he got
him back with the pony.
"It is a good road," he said quietly;
"you can let the pony go. I will fol-
low you." He swung in behind the
pony. who was now running for dear
life and snorting with terror at every.
jump.
"God Preserve us!" said Ranald to
himself. He had caught sight of a
dark form as it darted through the
gleam of light in front.
"What did you. say, Ranald?" The
voice was quiet and clear.
"It is a great Pony to run whatever,'
said Ranald, ashamed of himself.
"Is she not?"
Ranald glanced over his shoulder.
'Down the road, running with silent,'
'awful swiftness, he saw the tong, low
body of the leading wolf, flashing
through the bars of moonlight across
the road, and the pack following hard.
"Let her go, Mrs. Murray," cried
Ranald. 'Whip her and never stop."
But there was no need; the pony was
wild with fear, and doing her best
running.
Ranald meantime was gradually
holding in the colt, and the pony drew
away rapidly. But at rapidly the
wolves were closing in, behind him.

To Lydia E. Pinkhant Medi.
eine Co.
Women who are well often ask "Aro
e lettere which the Lydia E. Idmkbana
Medicine Co,. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful?'
" Why do women write such lettere?"
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
anruntruthful letters or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of woraeo
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink -
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink -
ham's Vegetable Compound has brought
heaith and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis-
placements, inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is izimossible for Any woman who

It -was not according to his desire
that Ranald was sent to the ma:nse.
• That was the doing of his sister,
Kirtsy, who for the last ten years had
kept house for him. Not that there
was much housekeeping skill about
Kirsty, as indeed, anyone might see
even without enteng Macdonald

Mrs. Murray knew she was treading
on delicate ground. The Highland
pride is quick to take offense. •
"Sick people, yea see," she proceed-
ed carefully "need 'very frequent
changes—sheets and clothing, youmn-
derstand."
"Aye," said Kirsty, supieously.
"I am sure you have plenty of
beauttiful sheets, •and we will change
these when he wakes from his sleep."
"Indeed, they. are very clean, for
there is no one dint myself has slept
in them since he went away last fall
to the shanties."
• . Murray felt the delicacy of the
position to be sensibly increased.
"Indeed, that is right, Kirity; one
can never tell just what sort of peo-
ple are travelling about nowadays."
'Indeed, and it's true,' said Kirsty,
heartily, "but I never let them, in
here. I just keep them to the bunk."
'Hut," pursued Mrs. Murray, ee-
turning to the subject in hand, "it is
very important that for sick people the
sheets should be thoroughly aired aiul
warmed, Why, in the hospital in Mon-
treal they take great care to air
and change the sheets every day.You
see so much poison comes through the
poreo of the k sein."
"Do you hear that now?" said Kirst
ty,amazed. "Indeed, I would be often
hearing that those French peoole are
just full of poison and such, and in-
deed, it is no wonder, for the food they
put inside of them."
'0, no," said Mrs. Murray, it is the
same with all people, but especialy so
with sick people."
Kirsty looked as doubtful as was con -

Night-shirt! and indeed he has no

tone betrayed her, thankfulness that
her brother was free from the effein-
