Mr. Schwartz, and my father are allies politically, the girl explained, with heightened color, but tbey are not friends. My father is a gentleman. Tbe Inference J allowed to pass unnoticed, and as if she feared she had said too much the girl rose. When sbe left a few minutes later It was with the promise that she would close ihe Monmouth avenue house and go to ber aunt's at Belhvood at once.

Why that would be lhe Latin word for beware. Hunter smiled cheerfully. You'd better stick to the law, Mr. Knox, he said from the door. We don't use Latin in the detective business.

HAPPY OLD AGE Most Likely ^o Follow Proper Eating As old age advances we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape- Nuts, mado cf whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes the starch into a most digestible sugar. The phosphates also, placed up under the outer-coat of the wheat, are included in Grape-Nuts, but are lacking in white flour because the outer coat of the wheat darkens the flour and is left out by the miller. These natural phosphates are necessary to the well- balanced building of muscles, brain and nerve cells. "I bave used G-rapc-Nuls," writes a Western man, "for 8 years nnd feel as good and am stronger than J was ten years ago.

HOWTOWl ALL 5KTO TROUBLE Greasy Ointments No Useï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Must Be Cured Through the Blood It is not a good thing for people with a tendency to nave pimples and a blotchy complexion to smear themselves with greasy ointments. In fact they couldn't do anything worse, because the grease clogs the pores of the skin, making the disease worse. When there is an irritating rash a soothing boracic wash may help allay tlie pain ot itching, but of course it doesn't cure the trouble. Skin complaints arise from an impure condition of tlie blood and will persist until tlie blood is purified. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured many cases of eczema and skin diseases because they make new, rich blood that drives out the impurities, clears the skin and imparts a glow of health. The following proof is offered. Mrs. Fred Tremble, Gunter, Out., says: "For more than a year I w, s steadily afflicted with salt lheum or eczema. My hands were so sore that I could not put them in water without the skin cracking open. I tried all sorts of ointments recommended for the trouble, but Iliey did not do me a particle of good. I was told Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would cure the trouble, and began taking llieni. 1 look ilie Pills steadily tor six or eight weeks and thoy completely cured the trouble. This was several years ago nnd I have never l.eeii bothered with It since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by- all medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for ?2..ri0 from The Dr. Willir.ms' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Out.

In shorthand she had often done Two hundred words a minute. She wrote she was young and smart, And acquainted with business ways; Six dollars a week she'd accept for a start, If I'd promise an earlv raise. 1 hired this paragon "off the bat," She went to work to-day; ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ A pert young Miss in a picture hat, And a very engaging way. She had pompadour hair and a marcel wave Tan pumps with a cuhan heel; Her fingers wcrs freighted with jewels that gave Sparkles almost like real. I started her off ou a letter to Brown. 1 found she was slow, so 1 waited For her to catch up; at last 'twas all down. And this is what she dictated: In re your wire ol this date To buy amalgamated. We counselled you before to wait Till we'd investigated, When copper shrinks a point or two, Will fill the order duly. If this does not seem wise to you, Advise yours very truly. This done she faded from the room Into her private lair, Reaving au odour of perfume Upon the desert air., An hour passed ere she returned, Brown's letter written out; And here it isï¿½ï¿½ï¿½I never learned What it was all about.

Adjoining this store a barber shop and pool room is being built. Will advertisers please let us have copy for change of adsou Monday Morning, Noon and Night We Drink It and the beverage is such a favourite, that most of us pay the highest price to secure the best blend. Right here we wish to inform the public that really good tea is in reality a moderate priced article, 'tis often the package, the tin, or some well known dealers make, we nre paying more for than the tea itself. We have made arrangements to handle in large quantities a blend of tea that has astounded us wiih its fragrant quality, and we defy anyone except a professional tea-taster, to detect the difference between this blend and the 50, 55, and 60c Teas on the market.

The aim of man from the beginning has been to make his building materials ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ nearly like natural stone as possible. The great labor required to quarry stone led him to seek various manufactured substitutes. The only reason he ever used wood was that it was easiest to get and most convenient to use. Wood is no longer easy to jet. Like most building material, its cost is increasing at an alarming rate. The cost of conctete is decreasing. So, from the standpoint of either service or economy, Concrete is the best building material. Canada's farmers are using more concrete, in proportion to their numbers, than the farmers of t,ny other country. Why f Because they are being supplied with Canada Cement ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ cement of tha highert pottiblo quality, yettice, its- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½urea tha auccaia of their concrata work.

"Thru If I get Aunt Harriet's consent you will bs witling to elope?" she asked guilelessly. "I would do anything to marry you," he answered. Katrlna threw her arms around bis neck. "Then It Is is good as settled." "you don't know Aunt Harriet," Ormsley admonished. "Ves, I do. And, whit Is more, If you do exactly ns I tell you she herself Will suggest an elopement." So tho tvo pul 'heir heads together. Host men woulo have wished tbem- Selves In Ormsley'B r'nee. He must hnve been sensible ot b privileges, for he left the hous-i more In lore than gver nnd vowed to flay his p rt In the comedy. Miss Harriet Ormsley lived tn ,n big old fashioned house called the Larches. Bhe hnd the only victoria In town, her butler always stood behind hor chair *i dinner, and her parlor mnld wore Trench caps. In all respects her establishment wns most correct. But Its rhythmic order nnd lhe mind of Its mistress were alike disturbed by the I stratum uennTior or young sir, urine- ! ley. lur three or four dnys he had ' mien scarcely anything, nliiiough his I r'iiii ordered his favorite dishes, and | Jenkins served ihem to a nicety. Instead of cuing out of an crcnlug he brooded over the fire or feverishly paced his room. His rapid footfalls could ho henrd long nftcr the rest ot the family had retired. Miss Harriet loved her nephew, as sho hnd his father before him. Wben ae hnd successively refused to take a tonic, see a physician or consider ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ sea trip alaria overcame ber ususl stiff- less, snd sbe Implored sn explanation Tborndyko gave It reluctantly, lis loved Katrlna Hurrldan. Katrlna lovce him. Her father objected. That was the end of It. Miss Harriet listened In amazement An Ormsley, her nephew, refused by s Harridan, n mere upstart In society! II was ridiculous, preposterous! Tliorndyke refused further discus ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Ion of tho subject. Ills mint lllj riMiikc most of tho night, uiul ns tin clock chimed tho hours of tho enrlj morning so did her Indignation grow. it wus almost ut boiling point tbï¿½ï¿½ nest day when Katrlna wns iimioiinc ed. Ileforo her hostess could speak tbs girl threw herself In her in ins. "Oh, float1 Miss Harriet!" she cried "Of course Tborndyko hns told you. I suppose I ought not to be hero when J am forbidden to havo anything to dc wllh him, lint It can't be wrong tc conio when ho ts a way." Miss Harriet found herself pntllng Kntrliia's head. "Uo not cry, my dear," she snld wltb difficulty, duo to a remarkable stricture In her throat, "it ls n deplorabli situation, but your father cannot be ar entireï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ He must be made to see reason. I will call and explain." This conclusion was far from reassuring to Ktitrlun. Sot the young diplomat managed to murmur with a fall assumption of gratitude: "That Is sc good of you, dear Miss Harriet. II Thorndyko nnd I aro ever happy ll will all be due to you." On her way home Miss Harridan found It Imperative to cull nt her fa tbcr's office, or, rather, to call on the office boy. Tommy .Teuks was bet stanch admirer, for sho had a way ol treating him ns If be were already a member of the firm. "Tommy, If Miss Harriet calls to see father during the next few days Jusl tell her that he Is engaged. She would only worry him. Do you think thai you could keep her out-for me?" She smiled engagingly. The office boy was flattered by thll proof of confidence. "Sure 1 esu. Mlsi .Katrlna," he declared stoutly. "Just you trnst to Tommy .lenks." Miss Ormsley called at the office several times. At each visit Tommy blandly assured ber that Mr. Harridan was out. Katrine's next visit to tho Larches found Its mistress ln a statu of mind quite at variance with her usual elegant calm. "Your fnlher, In coalition wltb his Impudent office boy, has refused to see me. He shows regard neither for my age and position nor for the happiness of my nephew." Katrlna listened meekly, fur she saw tbat no suggestions wero needed. Tbe Ormsley blood was up. Vet even she was surprised by lhe suddenness wltb which Miss Harriet seized her by tbs shoulders und half swung ber around as sbe cried, "If you bud any spirit In you you would marry without his consent!" "Elope!" Katrlna's tone was horroi struck. "Jes, elopel' "But what would people any?" tbe girl objected. "An Ormsley Is above the vulgar criticism of the goneral public," Miss Harriet answered majestically. "And indeed you can scarcely call It an elopement when I will see you married and glvo a reception at tbe Larches lu tbs evening." So dually Katrlna and Tliorndyke allowed themselves to be won over to Miss Ormsley'B way of thinking. That fiery old ludy Insisted on making all of the arrangements and waa Oiled with exultation whenever she thought of Mr. Ilnrrldnu and his dlscomllture. 6he was the only witness ut the ceremony, for when she suggested a few guests Katrlna demurred. "If I cannot have my own family I do not wont any one but you," she declared. "I would have liked to have those twelve bridesmaids," she added, with a self sacrificing slgb. "They will all be thero In the evening," Miss Harriet comforted. Bo they were, but it was nu eleventh hour guest that hud the place of honor. It wus on tbe way homo from church thnt Katrlna begged Miss Harriet to break the news to ber father aud to Implore him to forgive ber on her wedding night Softened by tbe sight ot the youthful happiness, Miss Harriet could not refuse. In this embassy she wns successful Mr. Ilnrrldnu presented a bold front, but ho speedily capitulated before ber eloquence. Miss Harriet almost for. gave his former obduracy since It made her victory the more sigunl. When Mr. ami Mrs. Thorudyke Ormsley were driving to (he station, the llrst step on their wedding Journey, the gi'oom gave voice to a rrG*oiitlmetit v, hi li nil evening hlld clouded his lisp- > pluess. "1 noticed tbot young Croxton waf very attentive to Pamela tonight, lioea that mean another elopement?" Kutrlna gnve a hnpry laugh as she held up n slip of paper. "Did you uot seo this, stupid boy? It Is Aunt Harriet's present to me, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ check for $5,000. She said she wanted me to be sure of my welcome In the family. Dear Aunt Harriet! It wns a shame to fool her.

MUTUAL IGNORANCE. Quaint Story of Dumas and Scribe, tha Playwright, Bardou had his eyes opened by Ihe ploys of Scribe. At thnt dny It was (he fashion among the younger literary meu to sneer at Scribeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½as It Is today, by tho way, to sneer ot Snrdou. Scribe wns culled a "potboiler," n maker of mechanical plays, a man who wrote scenes to fit scenery and a maker of plots rather than of plays. Appalling tales wero (old of him by unsuccessful playwrights. It was whispered that he sucked (he brains of other men, purchased Ideas, revamped them nnd thus acquired the large fortune which h* was then enjoying. How they accounted for the fact thai wllh tho Ideas of unsuccessful playwrights he made successful plays tradition does not tell, But all were ugreed that Scribe wns mediocre, that his success wus accidental snd thnt he wns n miser. Albert Wolff gives these dctnlls of the opinions held with re' gnrd to Scribe In tho fifties nnd adds this nnecdolc: "Tho only Influential man I knew lo Paris," said Sardou, "was Dumas Ihe elder. One day 1 said to him, 'Won't you glvo mo a letter of Introduction to Scribe, (ho playwright?' 'Scribe,' suld tho great romancerï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'who Is Scribe? I never heard of him.' I Blghcd nnd determined to see Scribe without a letter. So 1 called nt his house (hut very day nnd wns nt once received. 'Pardon my Intrusion,' I said, 'but I had expected to bring a letter of Introduction to you from M. Alexandre Dumas, Iho celebrated romancer.' 'Dumas?' Interrupted Scribe. 'Never heard of him. Who is Dumas?'"ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½From Jerome A Hurt's "Sardou and tbo Sardou Plays." Potatoes and Power.

MASQUERADE BALL Tlie Masquerade linll held in the Comox Hall on November 14 was, I may venture to say the success of the Season. The proceeds amounting to $75 (after deducting all expenses) is to be given to the Comox School for the purpose of furnishing a library for that place. It was a close call whether the costumes ordered dy the numerous masqueraders would arrive in time. Fortunately they came by S. S. "Charmer" antl all those who could adapt themselves to the cos- tunics they fancied, did so. As usual there were numbers of clowns and nurses. On entering the door I recievetl a shock a very tall brown affair about eight feet high, was slowly walking up and down the Hall room, no head, no tail and apparently 110 legs and to make matters still worse a villainous looking convict dragging a cannon hall around the room attached to his ankle by a chain, Ye C.otls men! if I hadn't paid my elegant money at the 'door I should have retired there and then!

Did you notice girls how thin she looked soon after she unmasked? ! wouldn't have believed anyone could lose flesh so quickly, I was so glad Dr. Millard was in the room. By the way was Mike there? The Chinese costume was excellent. Miss Celia Davis must have made a great study of the part she played, Miss Tomlinjas an Egyptian lady and Mrs. C.
