Ho took a seat In the rear of the church and listened apparently interested for a short while. After that he began to show nervousness.

Thirty-five years, I think, responded the old man; but I don't know exactly. I'll stay then, decided the stranger. He must be nearly finished. A FRIEND'S ADVICE Something Worth Listening To W.N.U. 9M He was standing near one of the! stamp windows In the general post office, Ills face was flushed and hlsj features distorted, while he lugged i with his teeth at a knot in his handkerchief.

Did you have it done? No; forgot the blamed thing in the subway. But I remembered the knot all right. Ah Jack, old fellow. Haven't seen 5rou since your wedding two years ago. How goes matrimony?

"There's plenty mure flowers, luii'ittn." he suld wistfully, pilending I he crushed I wigs lip beld. "but I suppose, you ticller take Ihese. They're yours." Miss Alberts snatched lbs blossoms from his hand and tossed them toward a little mound of willed dandelion roots she had been digging out of lb* tnrf. "Hasn't your mother taught you It's wicked to steal?" she demanded. The boy winced, but be squared his shoulders and answered sturdily: "Of course she's told me that, uin'nm. It's me—myself—Hint did It. She wouldn't 'prove of me doing It." "Well, I should hope not," ejaculated Alberta, with a fleeting glance toward, the roof of the little brown house next door. "When did yon more in. boy?" "Yesterday," he answered, "aud my mamma's dreffle tired today." "What Is your name?" "Duncan Pearly Itnrtlett. That's my papa's name too." April passed Into May — May Into June—and then csine July, sultry and hot. with the rich odor of overripe fruits In Alberta's shrubby garden. Taster than she could convert the berries Into caus of amber and ruby tinted preserves they ripened on the bushes, and pirate robins swooped to ■natch titbits for the gaping mouths that crowded the nests. "Scat!" Albertu would cry, waving her gingham apron at the feathered robbers. "Ob. twee—wee—weeeepe!" Ihp robins would answer saucily as they dashed away, only to return later aud repeat the foray. "Drat "em!" and Alberta would whisk Indoors to rescue the scorching sugar from the tire. "If the cherries bad only waited a little longer!" she groaned one hot day as she looked from the kitchen window Into the branches of the cherry tree, where the rich red fruit hung In thick clusters. "If I can only get this currant Jell off my 'lands"- "Do yon want a boy to pick cherries?" asked Duncan Ksrtlett from the doorway, where he stood hat In hand "My mamma says 1 can pick on shares If yon want roe to and I'm careful not to fall."

You can pick 'em on quarter shares. Out of •very four quarts you can have one for yourself." "All right, ma'am." be said, with some disappointment In his tone. "It you'll give m» a pall and a rope I'll begin now." Alberta provided a pall and a rope and a long ladder and watched tbe ■mall cherry picker carefully climb the rounds until be disappeared among the green branches. Just before noon Duncan appeared at the door staggering under a pall of lueclons cherries. Perspiration stream- ad down his sunburned nose and cherries stained bis lips.

Half an hour later she returned from a trip to the little brown house. She had recovered SO cents of Duncan's money snd had amended her tcrgillu by paying him 2 cents a quart for the cherries he bad picked and thus reduced his earnings to $1. She felt very uncomfortable over the matter also, for once inside the modest brown cottage she found herself in refined surroundings. Mrs. Bartlett w«« a charming woman and had introduced her husband. Dr. Bnrtletf. a whole smiled, genial man. who Inwardly chuckled at bis little son's business venture, but outwardly treated it with great seriousness snd consideration, much to Duncan's comfort. Alberta Ely surmised that her new neighbors were far from being In straitened circumstances and bud merely sought tbe little cottage for a summer's recreation In the valley. Their simple courtesy put Alberta's niggardly errand to shame, and her cheeks flushed hotly as she tossed the money down on her kitchen table. "I wish Ellen Snlvely had stayed at home," she said impatiently. "I've got to get nil that fruit down cpllar. and It's dark now." She lighted s lamp and set If down In the cellar: then while tbe darkness closed In and the air grew more hot and sultry every moment site tolled up aud down the stairs, carrying basket after hask't of the canned fruit she had worked so hard to preserve.

For many dreadful moments Alliens Ely lay there on her cellar floor unable to move ber foot, fangs of exquisite pain slabbed her ankle tu be succeeded by hot burnings.

Thunder roared and shook the house to its foundations. The fermenting Jars of 1007 cherries yielded to th« heat and exploded with astounding report*. At last there came a hissing. slitting flash of white light outside the cellar windows, follovod by a deafening crash, succeeded by snother crush of splintering glass. Alberta Ely fainted from pain snd fright. When she regained eonsclonsness she was in hpr own slt'lng room, surrounded by tbe entire Bartlett family.

This boy is anotl ' r Toronto product, and was developed under the guidance of Hugh fanny, who. «t one time led the big riders, and )« now perhaps equally successful as trainer. Probably the greatest rider that Canada ever produced was Johnny Martin, who was bom in Hamilton, | Out. He led tils' list ol winning rid- j era lor two years in Sew York, in the palmy days of the "Spirt of Kings" in thai state, and won many , ol the greatest ol the leattire events.

Is an automobile a vehicle? That is the question prompted by the paragraph in the "Review " of Dec loth with reference to courtenay bridge. Judging by the vibration caused by an auto crossing at a rale equal to thai of a horse-drawn vehicle at id]) speed, causing the old bmies of the structure to groan, it is just as essential for the motor car to lake the bridge slowly as il is for any other conveyance. The regulation should lie enforced equally, and the s| eed of cars in Courtenay culls for special attention if the claims 6f p destriait, cyclist and driver to the public road is to be allowed.

Scott & Down*, Toronto, Ontario u-6i White Pine Culls Now in Demand a peotillar feature ol our rent luin- ber demand 'n thn old whlio pine sec- tions of the North is tho extraordinary requirement for low grade stock. It Is so persistent and devouring that It takes In anils so ranks that 20 or 30 years ago they would have been considered refuse, 111 only for the roughest kind of patching up of sheds, a.n.d when accumulation became too burdensome they were thrown Into the burner or used to build wharves or roadways, of for firewood, Grading downward has come with the demand for box material, until three-men hoards, as they have been jocosely called, are now graded as No. 5 or anything below that. Tho cull for low-grade si uff has become so gen «ral and Insistent, that such stuff Is more saleable than the medium and better qualities. This feature is true not only of the lumber market of the Northern States, but pertains also to that of Canada. At Toronto the demand for the lower grades of plain Is especially active and large, so that there Is a veritable shortage of mill culls nnd what are called dead pickings, In It, This condition with respect to the lumber market of Ontario shows how closely the lumber trade nf that, province Is connected with that of this country, the same requirements for cull lumber—namely, for box manufacture—prevailing In that province as In the northern part of the United States. The wny in which the cull lumber of the Northern States nnd Canada la being used up almost to the last carload has more than ordinary significance. It means that anything In the shape of ii tree or log Is being uMllzed In the way of sawed product, and that timber that was once considered usable only as firewood ts now being converted into lumber that actually sells quicker than good stock.—American Lumberman. Poor old Patrick! He was but the •hadow of his old self. He was a soldier boy who'd been serving In a minor war In the hill country of India, and he'd had a rough time, bedad. So seedy, ,io thin and worn Indeed, was Patrick that he was invalided home that he might have an early opportunity of pulling himself together, and showing that ho was truthfully a brawny son of Erin. As he Btepppd ashore from the troopship at Southampton his cousin Timothy stepped up to meet him. Why, Patsy, my bhoy, remarked the cousin. It's right glad that 01 am to see, ye're back from the front. Patrick looked grieved and sad, .chastened and ill-at-ease. .Bedad, Tim, he said, 01 knew 01 was thin, but Ol'm bothered If 01 thought I was as thin as that. TWO POINTERS ON HOW TO CURE A GOLD When you begin to sniff nntl feel a burning sensation in the nasal passages, or when a tickling irritation in your throat starts you coughing, the first important thing is to act at once. It's the neglected cold that becomes troublesome and dangerous. The second important thing to do is to take Na-Dru-Co Syrup of Linseed, Licorice and CVilorodyne, and keep it up till the cold disappears entirely. Na-Dru-Co Syrup of Linseed, Licorice and Chlorodyne is absolutely free from harmful drugs, and can safely be given even to moderately young children. It is pleasant tasting and quick acting, promptly relieving the irritation of the throat and nostrils, loosening the mucus, promoting expectoration, and checking the cold. Your druggist has Na-Dru-Co Syrup of Linseed, Licotice and Chlorodyne in 35c. and 50c bottles, or can quickly get It for you.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have given health to unhappy anaemlcs in cases too numerous to record. Hero Is one example. Miss Hn.ttie n. While, Whitehall, Ont,, says:—"Some two y rail's ago I became very much run down. I consulted u doctor who told me that it was a bad case of anaemia and nervousness. I bail most of tho symptoms that accompany this trouble, such as headaches, a tired feeling, poor appetite, and pallor. The doctor's medicine did not seom to help me and then I began changing from one medicine to another, but with no better results. Finally at 'the suggestion of my mother I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink PHls. I got two boxes and by the time 1 had taken them 1 began to fed bettor. This cheered me very much, and I continued using the Pills until I had taken nine or ten boxes, when I was again enjoying the very beet of health, and had gained in weight as well. I have proved In my case that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a cure for anaemia, and can recommend them to similar sufferers," Hold by all mc'.lclne dealers or by mall at 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50. from The Dr. Williams' Medlolne Co., Brockvllle, Ont. Matter of Taste He was the sort of young men who takes a girl out and talks a lot of pretty things, but never dreams of buying anything, not even a penny bar of eocoanut taffy. They had been walking out together for quite a time, and she was getting a bit tired of It. One evening they came to a pause outside a gaily decorated confectioner's shop. Look, darling, he whispered gushingly, I can see your beautiful sweet face quite clearly In that window. But she was determined on making a change. That's all right. George, about my sweet, face, she said, coldly, I'm tired of hearing about it. I wish you'd remember my sweet tooth now and then instead. The Cheery Ad.

Out of the window of the carriage a man was leaning. He made hurried notes In a pocket-book as he passed.

Third of a Series of Three Articles on Courtenay. By Colin Campbell "Don't put your name down and your money up and then let go. Catch hold firmly and pull with the rest. Get under and lift,don't be a leaner Don't be a kicker or a knocker. Don't be a drone or a figurehead. Give your home stores a chance, lie a real live, red hot enthusiast. Help your own town first." The above quotations about stun up my two previous articles on this important subject. To enlarge on this subject would be to enter into the superfluous. As I stand on the "Siwash hill" and look across the fiats toward Courtenay, or look toward the "glazier" from Mundells place, or view the level laud from Ball residence toward the town, and see the logging locomotive going puffing through the tall timbers, with the smoke of the milling camps at comox lake and Cumberland rising up at the foot hills like incense to the god of wealth, when I see all this and think ot the question What is behind Courtenay"? I laugh when I see what is around. I wonder why we are so blind to what is ours? Do we want to see? Do some of us want to sleep longer than old Rip Van Winkle? What are we doing in preparation for the new railway coming in? Will it come here and go past without our knowing it? Will it come and find US with doused "glims" and the gasoline lank empty, and the pressure gauge registering zero? Every little jerk-water place, and 11,0 "ueck-of the-woods" in the whole of Canada but has a boost club. Every place but courtenay (which has more reason than anyplace) is standing on tip-toe and hollering it's head oil" forrecognizion. livery j town and hamlet is endeavouring to I button hole the passer-by so that it can add more to its number. All 1 that is wanted to start the fire- ! works in courtenay is to get a few j of those individuals together who J are not dead to their own interests, I or blind to the possibilities of enhancing their assetts, or to put it in plain words, those individuals who are after the ' 'stuff". Get them together and show them'bow others have made barrels of money out of less capital by far than those we have in courtenay. It was my intention to try again and celebrate Rabby Burns' anniversary with a banquet, since thinking it over I believe that Rabby is a long time dead and while nothing would give me more pleasure than to sing the praises bf the bard of Bonny Scot- laud. I would rather talk about Courtenay, it too has been a long time dead, but by these old eternal stumps I'll do my damdest to bring her to life. It has been said that it is absolutely necessary to agree with a Scotchman or else kill him. This being so, the people of courtenay had better accept my views of courtenay and the neighborhood right from the start. It is my intention to secure the co-operation of a few others to set ou foot the first "Boost courtenay Banquet" and'entlevoitr to set the ball rolling. I will endevour if possible to have it a mixed (male and female) affair andif we cannot work up enthusiasm without the aid of high balls and fire water I will give courtenay up as a dead one, and turn it over to the undertaker at the river bank. So look out for the "Boost courtenay Banquet". It will be within reach of all property owners and boosters. Belter a tramp in the woods than one in the kitchen.
