A number of misunderstandings having arisen of late between the citizens aad the Ontario-Slocan Lumber Co., it was deemed advisable to call a meeting aud straighten out matters. This was done on Saturday afternoon, George Chew, manager of the company, meeting with the city council and citizens in the city hall. Acting Mnyor Smith tool; the chair and called on R. A.

Mr. Bradshaw stated a foeling had arisen against the company by reason | of their endeavors to bring in Chinese 's letter and Galliher I shingle paciei*s, as well as from tlv were again brought ] fact thai thc company were purchas- reported thai the] ing their supplies out of town rather Fletcher deeds on thi all in oisler.

The company complained that they coulu not gel help in their mill, ami the citizens ing in to work at the mill. The Chinks, however, did not materialize, but the men stopped up till 2 o'clock, expecting thnn down on the mill tug. Next evening the same crowd assembled, but again without results, ft appears that six Chinks did arrive at Hosebery from Vancouver, with the intention of coming on to .Slocan, .Some-one must have wised the slant- eyed wage-reducers that the mountain climate was not agreeable to Celestial orchids, for they lout, no time in shouldering their bundles and hiking off Inwards Nakusp. It is doubtful if the Chinks have yet stopped running. A H.VJIK MIN Kit A I, KlHoovcs'atsl Ainnssa*; Hit* Ores From tlss* . Heteor, A rare and very valuable mineral has been discovered among the ores from the Meteor mine, and it is exciting much attention here. Two weeks ago C. B. Taylor, one of the lessees of the property, noticed a peculiar streak (j/ stuff running along oue wall, whieh lie at first took to lie ledge matter, but its weight, equal lo that of galena, assured him that it was mineral of some description. He brought a sample of it down to W. S. Johnson, the* local assayer.who put it through a thorough test and analysis, and has finally pronounced it Tungsten. So far as is known, this is the first time the mineral has been found in the province, and naturally Mr. Johnson fs'fls a bit elated, Tungsten is used as a mixture with ste»*l for the making of special armor plate for warships, and in the manufacture of first quality tool steel, It hai a great hardening effect on steel and is capable of a very line temper.

By the way," he milled, changing his tone, "Robinson knew Miss Miller quite -well, didn't he?" "Ouly Ihrough me," answered Alden. "I used to get hlm to take messages to her house quite often. It was convenient; ho lived uear by." "Yes," said I'lmendorf. "They told tne nt the house thnt he enme quite often. Do you remember the first note with her name on It that you ever gnve hlm? Well. I happen to know thnt he took It to your bookkeeper, Wlllett, and nsked who Miss Miller was. He seemed to he quite Interested. Afterward he told Wlllett tlmt he wns mistaken ln supposing thnt he knew Miss Miller. lt was another girl of the same name." "If ynu are trying to work Jack Robinson Into this ease," snld Aldeu, "you nre a lung way off tho track." Elmendorf protested that he had no such Intention, adding that he hnd no rational theory of the case nud never expected to have one. When they entered St. Winifred's, they met Dr. Kendnll, who bad just come from a visit to Elsie. He led them Into his own room. "I'm sorry to tell you," he said to Alden, "that Miss Miller Is not quite so well Just now. I wouldn't advise seeing her. Mr. Robinson delivered your message." "Whnt message? When?" demanded Alden. "He was here about half an hour ago," said Kendall, with Increasing alarm as he noted the ruauner of the others. "He said It was something very Important from you, and after consulting with Miss Machine I let him speak with Miss Miller lu private for a few minutes. I thought she seemed somewhat disturbed afterward, but she told us that the matter was ot small consequence." "I know nothing whatever about It," exclaimed Alden. "1 disl uot semi him here and had no Idea he was coming." He turned to Elmendorf with a sharply questioning glance. "Well, you can search me," snld the detective. "You mean that you know nothing about lt?" asked Kendall anxiously. "Less than nothing," responded Elmendorf, "nud I'm giving you straight goods too." There was a knock nt Kendall's door, and he admitted a nurse, who said that Miss Maclane wished to see hlm. He did not wait to speak a single word, but hurried awej'. Aldeu tried to get an explanatiou from the nurse, but she professed to have none. l-'or nearly an hour the two men waited with Impatience, which linn Ily passed Alden's power of endurance. "I must get some word from her," he said after much pacing of the Boor. "There must be serious danger or he would not stay so lout;." Blmendorf pointed out the obvious possibility that Kendall might long since have answered Miss Machine's summons and hnve gone upon any of a hundred other duties, but Alden would uot be thus quieted. He ws-nt out to the office to nsk In whut way he could commuulcnte with the doctor, and within a minute after his dcp.'ir- I ture Kendall entered the room. He had a large glass jar tu his band, which seemed to contain milk. This he set down upon the table ond Immediately touched an electric button. "How Is she?" asked Blmendorf iu a tone betraying the most caruest solicitude. "Better, better," replied Kendall. "1 think there's no longer any danger. Where is Mr. Alden?" "No longer any danger!" exclaimed Elmendorf, Ignoring the question. "Has there been any?" "Well," said Kendall, "she fainted again." "Again!" "The first time was Just before vou came up," said Kendall. "Don't sa*. anything about this. We had Just given her a little luncheon, nnd I thought perhaps sho might have had some small stomach trouble; oppresses tho heart sometimes, you know. Itut I don't like this second attack Henrt failure ufter the Injury and tho nervous exhaustion wouldn't be the most unliks'ly thing In thc world, you know. Ah! Come here. Oeorgo." The last words were addresser" to a youth ln uniform who hoai answered the doctor's ring. Kendnll gave him some money nnd whispered tai idm near the door. When he turned, as George departed, he saw Elmendorf standing rigid, with bis blue eyes unusually wide open. "Whit do you want of two white mice?" he demanded. "Really, now"— Kendall began. "Look here," Interrupted Elmendorf "If there's anything of Unit kind going on, I'm tho man you need, Don't hide anything from me; fur the little girl's sake, don't do It, doctor." Kondall bit bis lips and hesitated Tben he said suddenly, as steps were heard tu the ball: "Oft blm oul of here and enme bnck." Ahlen entered nnd stopped short. In bis own peculiar fashion, with his eys s on the doctor. "It's all right," said Kendnll. "Mia Miller showed some Indications of weakness, but Is doing nicely now. I should think you might see ber about 6 o'clock." "Well, doctor, I'm glnsl everything's ell right," said Kltteodorf. "I begun to be anxious, you wire so long awuy. But what you've said has made me feel easy again, and so I think the best thing that Mr. Alden and I cau do is to try to get sonic light on Mr. Robin* son's strange conduct. The man may hnvo struck some kind of a clew nnd have rushed right off to verify lt without waltlug to consult anybody." "I didn't think of that," responded Alden. "It may be tbat you've found the explanation." "1 would suggest tbat you go to his house," said Elmendorf. "Meanwhile I'll telephone to your office and one or two other places and see If 1 can get track of hlm. But the likeliest place Is his house. Walt tbere for me. I'll Join you before 3." This arrangement was agreed upon, nnd tho two men went out together. Elmendorf was busy with the telephone for half an bour, but he failed "Miss Maclane?" snld Elmendorf. "My friend, I don't believe It." Kendall looked up at hlm wltb a blank stare and shook bis bead. CHAPTER XVI. ELSIE PEBPETRATES A JEST. «! ■jy*xi-*ov// He sat down and rested his head on his hands. to extract valuable information from any person with whom he talked, although tho chief of the detective bureau was one of them. Returning to the hospital, ho went at once to Kendall's room. In answer to his rap and the sound of his voice the door wns unlocked and he was admitted. In passing be glanced scnrchingly nt Kendall's face, which wore an expression of extreme anxiety; then he advanced to tbe table in the middle oi the room, frnm which lie lifted a newspaper, thus revealing the bodies of two little white mice. Elmendorf regarded them with a look of horror. "(.ood Lord!" he gasped. "You don't mean lt?" Keinlall nodded. Then he sat down anil rested his head on his hands for a few seconds, while Blmendorf gathered breath aud heart for the next question. "What was In the jar-milk?" "No," replied Kendall, "lt is a kind of lispiid food preparation. The basis of it is milk; but, unfortunately," he added, looking up at the detective, "It Will keep." "liecn in the room several days, you moan?" said Blmendorf. "If It was ordinary milk thnt bad been dosed, we could narrow It down to a few hours. But this stuff—why, absolutely everybody connected with the caso has had a chance at it." "Mow shall 1 tell her?" muttered Kendall. "Her?" The doctor gave a nervous start "Miss Machine," be snid. "This will be a hard story for her to hear." "You nre right," replied Elmendorf, "after nil the care she's taken, the devotion she's shown to that poor child, who was nothing to her—worse than nothing, In fact—un enemy, you might sny." "Now, look here"— exclnlmed Kendall hoarsely as he pot upon his feet "No. no!" cried Elmendorf. "I dou't mean to accuse ber. That would be absurd. We mustn't waste time. What was the poison?*' "I don't know," replied Kendall. "Of course there was no time for analysis. That's why I tried It on these small animals. It's somo kind of a heart depressant—the very thing to use In a cise of this kind, where the condition ls one of weakness and especially where thero Is an Injury lu tbe region of tbe organ." "Bnt didn't these mice show any symptoms thnt you could recognize?" nsked Elmendorf. "No; nothing definite I could name several poisons that would answer nil the reoulrementa. it isn't necessary to know Immediately. The treatment would be the same In any case. And tbe danger is over, I believe." "Unless It's somewhere else," snld Elmendorf; "In her medicines, perhaps." "That wouldn't be posslhlo without assuming something that can't be assumed—uot In my nrosoncc, et any lite." "Yon mean thnt Miss Maclane"— "Precisely," snld Kendall. "And as there can be nn thought of such a thing wo conclude that this Infernal thing"—nnd he tapped tho Jar with his knuckles—"Wblcb was handy for everybody, wide mouthed and all that— Oh, 1 have been an Idiot!" "She's been having this right along," said Blmendorf. "That might Indicate"— "Nothing until we know Just whnt the stuff U and how much of It we have to deal with," replied Kendall. "The effects observed may come from what she ute tills noon or be the general result of small, repeated iloses." "There's one thing," uttiu Elmendorf with derision—"thia villainous net must have been done by somebody who knew that the food was there, liy some one who had been In the room several times"— "Don't." groaned Kondall. "By heavens, 1 can't bear to think of It! I like Alden. I can't believe this of hlm. Anil—and sho loves him; she loves hlm Just as much now as over." HEY say," remarked Elsie, "that people always feel particularly well Just before they die. Do you remember Bernhardt In 'Cainllle,' the very last words before she dlea In Armand's arms: I shall live! Ah, how well I feel!' How I cried when sbe said thatl And then Gaston says, 'She sleeps.' Isn't thut a lovely scene?" "As It came to your mind at this moment," said Brenda, "1 Joyfully Infer that you are feeling very much better." "You must think I am silly to talk so much about dying," said Elsie. "1 am soggy wltb sentimentality." "You bavo mentioned lt on Just four occasions," said Brenda, "Including tbls, but lt seems often to us because we don't wish to lose you and to yourself because really and truly you don't wish to die. On the whole, you have been ns cheerful as any girl could possibly be under the circumstances, nnd as for your sentimentality, my dear, I'd give tbe world to bave some of It myself." "I was going to say," continued Elsie, "tbat my motive for continually harping on It Is that you may know I am not afraid, and afterward you may tell Mr. Alden." This exchange of pleasantries upon a cheerful subject occurred during tbe time wben Kendall wae experimenting with tbe white mice. "I must have been pretty near It tbe last time," said Elsie. "It was double. I scarcely knew wbat was tbe matter when it began, even though I'd fainted such a little while before. It was like drifting, drifting away. You are surprised. You think you must stop, and before you really bave time to be frightened you are gone. But 1 waked just for a second—just long enough to remember and realize; then down, down, down, sideways to the left there, slipping away from the room and the light. Tbe lust was a sensation tbat tbe.v were lowering me Into the ground. But I'm going to be cremated. You'va promised me that, Brenda." Tben, catching the expression of amused horror — If that can be — on Brenda's face, she laughed wltb tbe most delicious and clear sound, like the singing of birds. "Oh, but lt hurts to laugh," sbe said. "You mustn't make me do lt." "I?" cried Brenda, "You're the flret tbat ever accused me of being amusing." "Do you know," said Elsie, "tbat of the two of us you're the blue one? It's much more cheerful to talk about dying *han to 'roast' oneself as you do." "Roasting Is popularly supposed to be one step beyond dying," replied Brenda. "But I suppose tho roasting you mean Is tbe saying of uncomplimentary things. My child, I can't help lt; I suffer by contrast" "With me?" cried Elsie, "Now you really are amustng. If I had your hair and eyes! Well, that's absurd, of course. But do you know I He here Hs cams back with m tumbler. Imitating your ways, yonr calm, gentle, sweet way of doing things? I'm studying you, Brenda, and If I were to play a society part again you'd seel This Is the way you say: 'Good morning, Ur. Kendall. * ' • Ab, thank you so much. • • • Sball we see you again soon? • • • Goodby.' You make all the little tblngs mean something. That's dignity, personality. I haven't any more than a blade of grass, but I'm gaining on It If I live another week, I shall die and go to Daniel Frobman's No. 1 company Instead of to heaven. I'd rather." "Do I speak like that when I address Dr. Kendnll?" said Brenda, with a slight access of color. "Well, It may be so. You are very clever, my dear." "This Is the way you hold your arms when you walk," said Elsie. "Isn't thnt pretty? Of course I can't do It very well lying down, but see the fingers und the ease of tho wrist. Were you taught to do that?" "I used to havo a governess who wns crazy on Delsarte," replied Uremia. "But she presently went crazy on all other subjects nlso, and we had to send the poor thing to au Institution. I was not uware of my debt to her." "You owe her a great deal," said Elsie. "I wish I'd had a lunatic of that kind In my family. I couldn't afford to bave much teaching. Of course I had some, but when I fouud what my mother was enduring In ordor tn psy for lt—well, I took au engagement wltb the first tiling thnt came along. Antl It was a barnstorming crew! We gave six pin;, s a week, and I had to learn a long part In every one of tbem. Tbe second Monday, in ihe afternoon, tho leading lady came Into my room and found me huddled up on tho floor ln the corner gibbering—Just gibbering, that was all—words out of all the plays, as ahe told me afterward, all Jumbled together, and I was cross eyed with sitting up all night studying under little flickering gas Jets. Yes, tbat's tbe way sbe found me, and the room was as cold aa a barn too. I had tho bed quilt wrapped around my shoulders and my arm through a bole In It "The leading lady yelled to the Juvenile man, and be really was juvenile —about 18, as I remember. She said, 'Go get a glass of brandy P The Juvenile man went down to tbe bar and came back wltb a tumbler solid fulL He bad to carry It carefully ln order to keep from spilling any. Tbe leading lady was a temperance woman. Sbe never touched a drop of wine, and, ln fact, sho was a regular straltlaced New England pilgrim, but somebody bad told her once tbat brandy was good for the thing tbat I bad—'white brain,' we call It The Juvenile man didn't know bow much brandy a person ought to take, and I—well, I didn't know anything. So I drank It all, and then I lay down on the bed, and tbe leading lady covered me wltb everything she could And, and pretty soon tbe bed got up and stood on tbe celling, and I didn't care at all "Wben It came time to go to tbe theater (Brenda, It's disgraceful, but I was so—so drunk that I couldn't walk straight) tbe leading lady got me up and told tbe Juvenile man to walk me around the block, and bo walked me around about fifty times tn tbe snow. We were In a little Minnesota town, aad It bad snowed for a week. When he took me to tbe theater, I was perfectly sober, and I didn't care for anything. I had no troubles whatever. I walked up to tbe stage manager, and I said cheerfully, 'Well, what do we play tonight?' He told me, and I couldn't remember ever to nave beard of lt, but I got out my part and studied It while I was making up. "When I went en, I knew about half of my first scene, which was the longest ono I bad In the pluy. But I didu't care. I'd always been troubled with stage fright more or less, but not tbis time— not a fright When I forgot, 1 waited calmly for the prompter, who wts off left, having a fit. By and by 1 bad to go across right and sit down by a table. I know I couldn't hear the prompter there, so I walked over and got the table and dragged It clear across the stage, and tbe audience applauded because I did It so naturally. "Then I went craxy, aud what hi:*p- pened afterward I scarcely know. But when 1 came off after the thrilling 'limn x of the scene I fell Into the leading lady's arms, and she hugged me up tight. Sho said: 'You never played so well as that before. You were like Julia Marlowe.' And she kissed me on both cheeks. Julia Marlowe was my Idol then, and I cried with heavenly Joy on the leading lady's neck. That's all true, Just sb It happened, Brenda, and I never bad stage fright afterward." "Poor little Elsie!" said Brenda, kissing her. "It was a hard school where you were taught" "It was," said Elsie. "Yet I tblnk I wouldn't have amounted to much anyway. How could any mortal man fall to see tbe difference betweon you and ine?" "Uy child," said Brenda. "no man ean. Why, tbe brass knobs on the posts of this bed know tbe difference between yon and me—tbe vital, essential difference. They love you In their little brass hearts. Everybody loves yon. Dr. Kendall, for a cold blooded sawyer ef bones wbo could uniputnte my head witbout a trace of emotion, takes your band wltb the eternal reverence of man for woman, and wben be gives you pain 1 can see his own heart shrink. But be treats mo as If I were a gentleman whom be bad met at tbe club." Elsie opened ber eyes so wide tbat tbey seemed to light the room as she stared at Brenda, whose cheeks were flushed by ber unusual earnestness. "I am glad to bear you speak like tbat" sbe said. Brenda rose and walked across to the window. Tben she returned to the bed and took Elsie's hand. "I am going to open ray heart to you," sbe said. "It waa not because Clareuce Alden preferred you to me tbat 1 lost my self control thnt Inst day. I cared nothing for you, despised you; I admitted no comparison. It waa because, though the Intensity of bla own nature for a time deceived blm, he never really lovod nie at all. Nobody ever loved me. I am called good looking, even a beauty, in the society columns of tbe papers, and I am ae rlcb tbat I have attracted many men. But not one of them was able to present even a creditable counterfeit •f love (though some of them could counterfeit almost auytblng else, from goed breeding to tbe national currency) until Mr. Alden entored the lists. That'* hardly fair to tilui; he was sincere, but mistaken." "Yet 1 didn't hove at all the feeling that I have now," she coutlnued. "It was only that last day that I became enraged, mostly at myself. It Is since I have come here, since I have known you, the most womanly of Usui's creatures, that I have bad sotim true com- prehension ef my own lack, some honest serrow for It" "Only since you have been bere," ■aid Elsie.

S PAINS IN THE BACK FOR TWENTY YEARS Could Not Turn Over in Bed—Kidneys and Bladder Affected—Experienced Great Suf. ferings—Cured by OR. CHASE'S KIDNEY LIVER PILLS. The old people especially appreciate the effectiveness of Dr. Chase's Kid- ney-Llver PUIS, because the kidneys are usually tin* first of thc bodily organs to give out, and the result Is backache, lumbago, pains In the side and limbs, urinary dlsoreds nnd consumption. Old people learn to trust ln Dr. Chase's Kldney-Llver Pills, for when all other treatments fall this great medicine seems to go directly to the diseased part, and promptly afford:? relief and cure. Mr. David Mlsener, farmer, an old and respected resident of Fort Kob- Inson, Welland county, Ont., writes: "I wish to state to you that 1 hnd pain ln my back and left side for over twenty yeurs. At times I could not turn over In bed, I was sn rn.i,, used up. I had cramps In my J,', and legs, nnd my hand were so an tirely useless that I could ircslv mi anything."

Like the modern cowlmy yell of the western troops in the Ctfban campaign the warcries anal slogans of the ancient Irish clans often had mnch effect in in spiring fear in the enemy and courage nnd enthusiasm in tho command The simplest and umst frequent of old Erin's warcries was "Faire, faire I" signify ing "watch" or "look out." It was a precautionary signal and was commonly written "Farrah. ' From it tbe modern "hnrrab" is supposed to have been derived. Another cry was "A huaidhl" which mennt "to tho victory. " It was pronounced "ahoo" and followed thc name of the clan or leader, according to circumstances, liko "O'Neill alujo," or "Claim Conail ahoo." Frequently "a buaidh" is coustrned Incorrectly in modern English to mean "forever." That translation applies to "go brntb," bnt not "a buaidh." The famous Irish cry of "Fag un bealachl" meaning "clear tho way," scared the spunk oot of the French soldiery iu tho peninsular war. A aeneroar- Whlra.

The bidding was brisk and had advanced in three leaps from a guineas to SO, wben without further parley the round sum of a€800 was olTored. There being no higher bid, tlie kiss was knocked down by tbo auctioneer to a colonel in one of onr line regiments, who came forward to meet the blushing lady. Bnt to the surprise of all present, the colonel introduced a dear little fair haired boy, explained that it was bis grandson's fifth birthday, and that he had acquired the kiss as a birthday gift for him.

The Blood Must Be Kept Rich and Pure and the Nerves Strong. Good health ls the most precious treasure any man or woman can have. But good health can only be had by kepeing the blood rich and puie, and the nerves strong. If the blood Is allowed to become weak and watery, the whole system Is weakened and falsi an easy prey to disease. There is no medicine can esiual Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in keeping the blood rich and pure, nnd the nerves vigorous and strong. Every dose helps to create new Mood, and by a fair use ot the pills, pale, sickly people are made bright, active and strong. Here is proof. Mr. Robert Lee, New Westminster, Bs <"., says : "Before 1 began using' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, my blood was in a very Impure state, and as n result pimples that were very Itchy, broke out all over my body. My appetite was fickle, and I was easily tired. My wife urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got half a dii/.eii boxes. By the time I had used tbem I wao completely restored to health, my skin was smooth •ind clear, and my appetite good." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not purge—tliey simply make pure, rich blood. That Is why they cure such tr..ul.l! s as Indigestion, neuralgia, rheumatism, anaemia, partial paralysis, St. Vilas dance, scrofula, erysipelas, and the aliments so common to women, young and old.
