In the spring 3*ou must have new blood just as the ���trees must have new sap. Nature demands it. Without new blood you ���will feel weak and languid; you may have twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia, occasional headaches, a variable appetite, pimples or eruptions ot the skin, or a pale, pasty complexion. These are certain signs that the jlblood is out of order. The only sure way to get new blood and fresh energy is to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They actually make new, rich blood���they are she greatest spring tonic in the world. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills clear the skin, drive out ���disease and make tired, depressed men and women bright, active and strong. Mr. Neil H. -McDonald, Estmero, N. B., says: "It gives me great satisfaction to state that I have found Dr. Williams' Pink Pills all .that is ���claimed for them. 1 was completely run down, my appetite was poor and I suffered much from severe headaches. Doctors' medicine did not give me the needed relief, so I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I used only a few boxes when my former health returned, and now I feel like a new man." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not only the best spring tonic, but are a cure for all troubles-due'to poor blood or shattered nerves. That is why they cure headaches and backaches, rheumatism, anaemia, kidney and liver troubles, and the special secret ailments of women and growing girls. But you must get the genuine, with the full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," printed on the wrapper around each box. Sold by all medicine dealers or sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. James Whitcomb Riley says that he -was summoned as a witness in a case ���tried in an Indiana court, where one of the witnesses before him eiinced some disinclination to state her age.

I didn't see how it could possibly affect the case, for you see"��� "Madam," observed the Judge, with some asperity, "I must ask you not to further waste the time of this court. .Kindly state your age." Whereupon ���the spinster showed signs of hysterics- "I am, that is, I was"- "Madam, "hurry, hurry up!" exclaimed the judge, now thoroughly impatient. "Every minute makes it worse, you know." Guarantee to Mothers ��� ""There" Is only one medicine intended "for use among infants and young children that gives mothers a guarantee that it is freo from, opiate and poisonous soothing stuffs. That ���medicine is Baby's Own Tablets. "Milton L. Hersey, M.

Stewart Dunlop, tax and insurance commissioner of the company. Last autumn' it sent bulbs to station agents, section- men and other employee's, from one end of the system to the other. Some were for outdoor planting, and are expected to bloom this spring; others were for pots and boxes indoors, that they might bloom during the past winter. As a result of this generous distribution, there will be one million tulips, etc., flowering along the system this spring. Before the department was established, the only plants and flowers along the company's various lines were those planted and cultivated at the expense of those agents who wished them for their own enjoyment. Now the company bears all expense in connection with the purchase of thousands of the best bulbs procurable, and not only sends them to every employee who wishes them, but also issues folders giving information. In addition to this, seeds are sent every spring to employees along the system, who have exhibited an interest in flower culture. For this year the money appropriation made by the company to its floral department is almost double that of last year, so that the coming summer should see the stations on the C.P.R. more attractive than ever. The seeds���numbering over 25,000 packages���are being sent out now, and include as fine a collection as any gardener of the most refined taste could wish. Mr. Dunlop, to whose energies and fondness for flowers the success of the department is due, tells those to whom his circulars are sent to surround their station, section house or office building with pretty flowers, so that not only the employees may enjoy the fragrance and brilliancy of the blooms, but t hat passengers on entering stations from Vancouver to St. John may be welcomed by the beauty of flowers. One of the features of railways in England is the attractiveness of the grounds and stations along railway system. Money is lavishly spent on even short mileage, so that the public will enjoy travelling. The C.P.R. is similarly disposed to make its system one of the most enjoyable for travel in America.

Winnipeg, April 3rd, 1905. To Pastors and Sunday School Work- The Twenty-sixth Annual Conven-1 tion of this Association will be held; in Portage la Prairie on May 30th, [ 31st and June 1st, opening at 2 o'clock on the first day. Appoint your delegates.���Every Sunday school within the constituency covered by our Association, including Rat Portage and Fort Frances on the East to Estevan and Areola on the Vvest; South to the International Boundary and North to Erwood on the C.N.R. should send delegates. In addition to the pastor and superintendent, who are ex-officio delegates, eevry school is entitled to two delei- gates for one hundred members, or fraction thereof, and one delegate for each additional one hundred or fraction thereof. The names of the delegates should be forwarded to the General Superintendent as early as possible. Members of the Provincial Board.��� We should have a full attendance of the members of the Board at this convention. The exceedingly rapid growth, the difficulties confronting us, tue constantly changing conditions and the absolute necessity for correct information from all parts of the field renders it necessary that every member be present at meetings of the board. Railway Fares.NThe usual liberal arrangements, granted by the railway companies, of a single fare for the round trip, have been secured, provided 100 delegates, who have paid railway, fares, attend the convention. In order to secure this, however, each delegate must obtain from the agent who sells the ticket a certificate showing that full fare has been paid to Portage la Prairie. Entertainment.���The Sunday School workers of Portage la Prairie have guaranteed that ample and suitable accommodation will be secured for all delegates, and If possible at reduced rates. No one need remain away for fear of not finding a comfortable place to stay^ Programme.���The most interesting and helpful programme ever offered to a Sunday School convention In this country Is being prepared. It will contain several new features. An outline of it will appear in May issue of " A-rogress." Rev. John Potts^DD., of Toronto,, writing underrate" of "March 22nd, definitely promised to be with us and assist at our convention. He is well and favorably known all over the "United States and Canada, not only as an effective preacher but also as a powerful exponent of the best in present day Sunday School work., As chairman for twelve years of the committee who has selected the lessons for the weekly study of twenty-six millions of people, and in other ways closely Identified with the modern Sun!- day School movement, will make his addresses well worth the time and money necesary for every pastor and Sunday School worker to be present. iui'B, Mary Foster Bryner. of Peoria, Illinois, a member of the International Staff will be with us on that occasion, ���she is one of the most popular speakers on the Sunday School Platform. Calls for her expert services come from almost eevry part of the continent. The teachers of Primary, Beginners' and Boys' Classes will be especially helped by her addresses.

Movement is the result of contraction of muscles. . ' Muscles cahot contract of themselves but are entirely controlled by the nerves. As a result paralysis is almost always due to lack of nerve force. Increase the nerve force in the body by the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. Revitalise the wasted and depleted nerve cells. Restore vigor to the weakened nervous system and paralysis must disappear. But it is not on theory that Dr. Cfca.-v"; Nerve Food is recommended as a'cure and preventative for paralysis. It has established a surprising record of cures, and the cured ones are willing and anxious that other sufferers should know aoout it. But do not wait for helplessness to bvertake you before beginning treatment. If you suffer from weakness, sleeplessness, irritability, headache, twitching of the nerves and muscles, trem bling of limbs, loss of memory and of power to concentrate the mind. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food will prove of incalculable worth to you. Put it to the test. Mrs. W. R. Sutherland, St. Andrews, Man., writes:���"In February, .1903, I was stricken with paralysis, fell helplessly on the floor and had to be carried to bed. The doctor pronounced it a bad case as I had no power in my tongue and left leg. I remained in that condition for six months without obtaining benefit from the doctor's prescriptions or other medicines. - "My husband advised me to try Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, and by the use of this treatment all symptoms of the disease disappeared. I can now talk plainly, my leg is all right and I can do my housework.

"I want one fried on one side, and the other fried on the other." The waiter bowed obsequiously and withdrew. A little later he returned. "Beg pardon, sir." said he, "but I am afraid I didn't quite catch your order. Would you mind repeating it?" "Not at all," said the Minnesota man solemnly. "I want two eggs, one of them fried on one side and the other on the other." "Thank you, sir," said the waiter. "I thought that was what you said, but I wasn't quite sure, sir." Five minutes later an apologetic waiter returned to the lawyer's elbow. "I beg pardon, sir," said he again, "but the cook and I have had some words. Would you mind having those- eggs scrambled?"

Her absolute command of the dialect is ever a matter of wonderment to her' numerous admirers when they are made aware of the fact that she has lived all her life in this land. A few evenings ago, after a charming rendering of the quaint "Logic o' Buchan" at a friend's house, one of the most enthusiastic of her friends exclaimed: "Say, she sings Scotch so plain you can't understand a word sho says." "I wish I could find some one who would tell me the absolute truth about my government," said the Czar plaintively.

A North Carolina lawyer was" trying n case before a juii*, being counsel for tho prisoner, a man charged with making "mountain dew." , The Judge was very hard on him and tho jury brought In a verdict of guilty. The lawyer moved for a now trial. The Judge denied tho motion, and remarked: "Tho court and the jury think the prisoner a knave and a fool," After a moment's silence the lawyer answered: "The prisoner wishes me to say that ho ls porfoctly satisfied ho has been trle-f by a court and a jury of his peers," As a stranger in Philadelphia I was mnch amused by certain provincialisms. One of these was the use of the word "off" Instead of "from." "Please buy flowers off me," say the youthful street vendors. One day, while waiting for some groceries, a young lady, evidently unused to housekeeping, approached the raw Iflsh clerk and timidly asked: "I want some mutton to make broth.

The Hunger of A Man's Soul By CAMPBELL MACLEOD It was after the play, and they were waiting in the quiet little cafe to be c served. She leaned over to draw in the fragrance of the red roses and to avoid his eyes, which were persistent He was thinking of how young and lovely she was. How could he expect her to love him? The mirror opposite reminded him of his years. Yes, he would tell her���������save her all painful explanations. A young fellow Would make her happier. Once in a burst of girlish confidence sjie had told him how she hated young men and new houses. It was childish of him, he told himself, to expect her to know her own mind. "What can I eat?" she beamed at him with shining eyes. "Anything, from a nice young man to an oyster!" Here was the opening, sooner than he expected. "Judith," he began gravely, "it is of the young man I wish to speak now. Did���������did���������they say it Is young Travers? Shall I release you?" The last, to the ear of the girl, seemed an anxious, frenzied appeal for freedom. So this was what made him so gloomy, so unlike himself. He was tired of her. He wanted to be free. She was pulling a . rose to pieces and fitting the petals over her finger tips. "Shall we ring the curtain down on our little comedy?" he asked In an "it's all for the best" tone. She nodded slowly. She was beginning to see more clearly every minute, just as one's eyes grow accustomed to darkness after the first bewilderment���������ho .wanted to be free. "Judith," he said,' "I shall ask only one favor of you." He hesitated. "It is granted," she returned coldly. "Perhaps I shu*U have the honor of congratulating you���������also." The "also" was added as an afterthought. "It is that you will tell it all to me." He hesitated through a sense of deli- ���������^-caey-r-���������If-you-^iind,_dear,'LMjaMM_ gently, "then don't!" Did she mind? she asked herself. No; ���������he gloried In the opportunity. If be sighed for his freedom, he should have , it. She would make no effort to hold * him, but he should understand before she let him1 go that other men thought her desirable. Then he could go with his freedom, and she would marry any one of the others. It made no difference���������she would take the one who next asked her. She was eighteen and infinitely young. The middle aged man opposite felt that he would barter his Immortal soul to be twenty-four���������to be ypung with her. "Shall I begin at the beginning?" she asked in weary tones. He winced. '"No," he replied. "That would include me. Spare me that." There was a long silence. "It is of young Travers, your engagement"��������� "Until tonight," she reminded in a dull voice, "I was engaged to you. But"��������� Her voice stuck, He was waiting for her to begin. , "Mrs. Carr, from New Orleans, was at the Springs," sho began. "She is ono of, my mother's oldest frionds. Mr. Travers is her nephew.

WOMAN OF THE NORTH. Kra. Lundqulit'i Wonderlal Breaking; ol , All Women'i Bacon's (or Travel, The Dawson News tells an interesting story of a courageous woman ol the northland: The Hannah, one of the strangest craft that ever made their way down the Yukon, arrived in Dawson on July 8, 1904, in charge of Mrs. H. C. Lundquist, woman skipper, master, owner'and general director. The craft is a diminutive scow, carrying besides the master her little daughter, Elmirit, and one man, Carl Swan- son, as a crew. The party was bound for Rampart with the intention of eventually landing in Tanana. Two cows,' a calf, three dogs and feed for the animals and supplies for the people aboard mak^e up the freight. The entire outfit is under Horse, Doctor And Girl ��������� By FRANK H. SWEET Copyright, 1904. by Franl H. Sweet bond, and will be, allowed to pass and trying to pin it in place.

It's the number of them that con- inS the last several months in Skag- fuses me." She laughed deliciously. Way/ During the summer she will sell milk act Rampart and Tanana, and His hand tightened around his glass. "Bob," the girl suddenly demanded, "what's that you told me once about love lying deep?" Could he release her? "Tho hunger of a man's soul" kept running through his head. Could he do it? Wasn't she in crying need of a protector to shield ber from this very hunger? "Bob"���������she tossed bim a roso���������"have you forgotten the lines?" ���������- 'Lovo lietb deep,'" ho began. -������-Love dwells not in lip depths. Love wraps bis wings on either side tho heart.'" There was a long silence. Somehow tho silences of Bob wero more eloquent than all the Up talk of tho others. She was beginning to understand. She thought vaguely of ships cut loose from their moorings. She bated young men, She rememborcd the first time she ever saw bim. She was doing a skirt dance boforo the long gilt mirror in the back parlor. She turned to get a sldowiso vlow of herself, and there ia the door bo was calmly watching her. Tho others were at tho table. Tho occasion was a dinner party, and he bad committed tbo unpardonable offenso of boing late, That was tbe beginning.

Didn't Bob always understand? Tbe thought tliat be was just across tbo table and not engaged to her any more almost suffocated bor. She couldn't stand it.

"Bob," moving ntim*������Hind laying a in tho winter fatten her live stock for the butcher's block. Mrs. Lundquist is one of tha admirable, rugged specimens of womanhood of which old Scandinavia and tho. new north of this continent boast as a typo that does deeds of outdoor heroism and endurance as well as maintaining the accomplishments of life more strictly "domestic. Last winter Mrs. Lundquist broke all records of the world for travel single-handed and alone by a woman in the Arctic regions in tho dead of winter. Sho mushed from Rampart to Whitehorso every foot of the way with her own team, and oftentimes was out when it,, was 50 to 60 bolow zero, and it was declared by tho miners that during, some of tho time sho was on tho trail tho thermometer was down to 70 bolow. The total distance from Rampart to Whito- horso is 1,450 miles. Road housoi can bo made nightly ovor tho greater port of this route, but on tho Ram- part-Tanana stretch and on tho Cir- clo-Dawson stretch thoy wero not always convenient at nightfall, and several times tho traveler camped out alono, slooping wrapped in hor groat Arctic dog, robos, and with only tho thin wall of a dimimitivo tont strotchod between hor and the sombre, loadon sky. At tho outset of tht trip fourteen woro in tho party, but they scattered after a time, and as each traveler had his own dog team, and had to manage it, virtually tho woman was thon travoling alono. Aftor loavlng Fairbanks mushors woro mot by chance at times, but she did not dolay if thorq was no on* else witb whom to travel. At tlmos tho dense fog caused by tho oxtromo cold mado it impossiblo to soo ahead or tho toams, and tho trail was bo dim tho, woman had to tramp boforo hor dogs and break tho way. Most of tho tlmo it was too cold to rldo, and the ran tho greater part of tht great journoy by holding to tht handlebars of tht iloigh. On arriving at Whitehorso Mrs, Lundquist had lost twolvo pound! from hor weight at tho start at Ram- part, but was in excellent spirits and health, and could havo tumid back There was a flash so blinding that Dr. Tom Howard closed his eyes and the horse threw up his head with a whinny of terror, then almost instantly came a crash as of a thousand cannon, which rolled across the mountains in a reverberation of receding echqes. After that all was as It had been before���������Inky black. ���������>, Dr. Tom bent his face to avoid the slant of rain, at the same tl-n^e touching the horse's flank encouragingly with his hand. But they -c*t3r*d go no faster, as he knew, for the horse was picking his way down the mountain side step by step, with nose forward as though smelling the way and with ears alert for sounds that might indicate their course. Ahead were patients who might bt needing him, to whom his coming might be the difference between life and death. Henceforth his life must be his work. His patients were not to be divided even with the girl he had hoped to make his wife.* At first he had thought she would reconsider, relent, but her sudden departure, without note or explanation, had meant it was to be tbe end. He did not even know to what part of the world she had gone. He had already been away from home twenty-four hours on a journey of forty miles into tbe mountains to save a man who had been accidentally shot, and now, against the advice of hardy mountaineers, was forcing his way back in.the very teeth of one of the fierce hill storms. From time to time his band wont back to pat the horse's flank encouragingly, and at every contact of the. hand the horse started forward a little more briskly in an effort to please him, only to return almost instantly, however, to the slow, cautious gait, as if realizing that it was absolutely necessary to their safety. Soon there came .'another' blinding flash even. as tbe hand once more dr6ppeoT~upon���������tHe~" flank, and Dr. Tom's face blanched-a' little, for directly in front of them was a yawning fissure. After that for a time be allowed the horse to choose the way, with the reins hanging loosely across his neck. The horse's nose and ears and instinct were ?</ tuiiuiif; trcea wnere tne branches almost swept him from the saddle, Dr. Tom could only judge the course by the lightning. In the darkness the horse had his own way, and in the darkness the horse persisted in choosing the one which Dr. Tom believed to be wrong. But apparently there was no help for it, and at last, defeated, he allowed the reins once more to hang loosely upon the horse's neck. Gradually above the roaring of the storm there had been rising another sound���������peculiar, menacing in its persistency and suddenly intelligible. Dr. Tom drew a quick breath, and hia hand went to the horse's neck in caressing apology. The branch which had been easily forded ou the way u*> had become a raging torrent with the* gathering of the heavy rainfall audi was now tearing down the mountain, unloosening rocks and uprooting trees in its wild course. Had they stumbled Into its 11 waters in the darkness there wo...; have been little chance of emerging .uhe. And the horse's altered course meant that he was picking his way toward the bridge at-the* ferry road, the only way to get beyond, the branch and river aud so home. A.n nour went Dy, ilua .������ne steeper slopes were left behind. They were* coming to a move level country that could be crossed with greater speed. Dr.'Tom was mentally counting up tha miles and the hours it would take to traverse them when ho saw a light twinkling just ahead. Apparently it was a man with a lantern going.in tho same direction and running as well as he was able to. in the darkness. Dr. Tom urged his horse forward. "Hello!" he shouted cheerily as ho drew near. "What are you doing out in a night like this? Better go back to your bed!" Iu the storm's roar the voice sounded hoarse and unuatural. The man put his hand to his ear inquiringly and waited for the horse to approach. Dr. Tom could see the figure dimly by the* lantern's light, but was himself almost invisible. "Goin'���������for���������a���������doctor!" the man yelled as the horse came opposite. "My daughter's-hurt'an' must have help at once. Are you p'iuted toward the ferry; bridge?" "Yes."

Chalk," as he raps gently at the door. ���������"ana for all those I shall have to commit!" concludes her ladyship as ���������he springs to her feet and unfastens tha door, admitting the tailor a la mode. That night, the suit of grays well brushed, her wig recurled and her pocket napkin richly perfumed, her mother's brussels veil stripped "up and made into a cravat of so ravishing a dw-vice' as caused her host almost a r>VA^>c>gxyi "Snip, clip, and away with you I" spasm when he beheld It, Sir Robin McTart sat at honor place at dinner and was, to make a long story short, the cynosure and toast of the occasion. The duel with Sir Percy, the rescue *t my Lady Diana, the invention of a cravat, the nimble wit, the handsome face, soon bespoke Peggy into a favor that, considering all other things, waa well nigh incredible, and when the following day sho appeared In one of the BUlts Mr. Chalk had made, with a dash of powder on her wig and a bronzed complexion duo to surreptitious purchase at the players' cosmetic ���������hop in Drury lnno of sundry brown, red and black pastes while making feint of bolng a comedian, tho satisfaction of her host was unbounded.

"Zounds, Hlrl Aro you a fool, sir? Tour sire wns not ono boforo you.

She was to bo off soon to Lady Brookwood's. Here she should encounter not only Lady Diana, but doubtless Percy himself; mayhap Kennaston, if be had been able to get him a decent coat to wear in pljco of the gray velvets. Doubtless, too, all those others she had met in Lark lane. For tho hundredth time she cast wildly about in hor mind as to how she could now at this present moment rid herself of the hatt'd disguise, get into her Levantine, get home to her mother's arms, hide her head forever, and never, no, never, look into face of man again! But Peggy saw no road. Every path seemed barred save those that would forever damn her In the eyes of foes and friends alike. "Oh," cried she In desperation, "how easy 'tis to get into breeches, a coat a waistcoat and a wig; but, mercy, will I ever be able to get out of 'em?" It is to be put down to the credit of my Lady Peggy's up bringing in the country, with most times only a lad for her playmate, that now she bore herself with not only a fine ease and grace, but also with as splendid a swagger and daring as any young macaroni that carried a sword. "An I'm to be a man, I'll be one!" cnea sne. "Ana if L.ady Diana ogies I'll give as good as,she sends. Little bim as I love '11 know 'tls of his sometime Peggy he'll be jealous." So it was with a prodigious fine flutter of her napkin and a mightily impudent twirl of her eyeglass (purchased not two hours .since) that her ladyship made her bows and kissed the finger tips of Lady Brookwood's handsome daughter. "I am your most grateful, Sir Robin!"' cried this one, "and more pleaoed than I can express to welcome you. I only regret that Lord Brookwood is at Brookwood Hall and not here to thank you for rescuing his daughter." And so forth and on, with presentations to a dozen of fine ladies, dowagers and damsels, and a precious lot of fine gentlemen, and it seemed to Peggy, in her simplicity, as if the whole of Mayfair were a-bowing and scraping and making her out a hero, which indeed was i:yt far off the fact. Two watched her as she came in on Beau Brummel's arm. These were Sir Percy and Kennaston���������one green with anxiety for Grigson's return from his ^TraMrium^iii^'TrtfBrynSoliM7"n"irv"" ing left word both at Lark lane, his coffee house, as well as at home, where he had gone, that Grigson should report to him at once he arrived; tbe other green with envy of Feggy and any other who neared. his divinity, yet afraid and too diffident to approach her closer than with the devouring gaze of his eyes. "That puppy again!" cries Percy under his breath as he surveys Peg in her satins. "By gad* sir, every lndy In the room's turning spite eyes on t'other, your incomparable Diana included, for four he won't stop and pay her a compliment." "Ah," Blghs the young poet "Percy, an you loved like me 'twould be bllsa to even gnze upon your fair. Think you I dare make bold now to cross und make my bow?" "Why not?" returns tbe othor gloomily. "Forgive my humor, Kennaston, Truth is, sir, I'm mnd, mart for Peg, and my cars are cracking nnd my brain splitting until thnt rascal Grigson gets back with answer to my letter. He's been gono long enough to have mado tho journey four times ovor." "Oh, Percy," returns Teg's twin. "I lovo you as a brother, nn' could I but physic your lady Into'complaisance I'd give my life for It. What owe I not to you?" adds tho young man with deep feeling. "You've fed mo, and, nooks, sir, tonight you've clothed mc, for since tho scurvy knaves that frightened Lndy Di stolo my suit of grays ntid my sword and hat, what had I left? Whero would I bo now wore 't uot for you?" "Tush, Ken, lad; I lovo you for yourself nnd ton thousand times moro for her siiko.

Koiiunston presently took benrt of Bruce and crossed to pay bin duty to Lndy Dlnnn, who, 'twus plnln to bo seen by every othor thnn this bashful A pang shot through Peg's heart and the tears were like to force their way. She made an excuse and left the long drawing room, taking refuge in a small apartment where the tables were ready for cards. She sank into a chair and buried her face in her hands. The candles were not yet lighted, and she was totally unobserved. Dashing the salt drops from her lashes with her hand she cried in her bitterness: "What am I that I cannot abide to even see him a-bendlng over her hand? Ain't you no spirit, Peg? No pride? He's not thinking of you, my dear. Didn't he say plain if Sir Robin was the better man he'd give up to hlra? What kind of a suitor is that, Peg? Lud! I'd not give him up to any one, whether they were my betters or no!" Could my lady but have postponed her exit for a few brief moments she would have beheld Sir Percy, at a word In his ear from the footman, quit Lady Diana's side with but the smallest ceremony, dash out Into the vestibule, seize with a viselike grip the man who stood there pale and trembling and gasp out: "At last! The letter, tbe letter?" Grigson shook his head and got even whiter. "No letter?" Percy says in a dazed way. "Only your own, Sir Percy." handing back the missive. "Her ladyship was from home, sir." "Well, what of that? You Infernal rascal, did I not command you seek her, if 'twere at the other end of the world?" "Aye, sir, and the quickest way of settin' about findin' her, ladyship was for me to get back to town, sir, as fast as the cursed beast I was cheated into hirin', sir, would fetch me." "Speak out! Is her ladyship up in London?" asked Sir Percy, actually shaking with impatience and astonish- uient ungson noas ana witnout more auo proceeds to give an exact if somewhat rambling account of* his entire experiences from the moment he had quitted his master until the present. 'Twere idle to attempt to describe Sir Percy's state of mind. Up to uow there had ever lingered in his heart the hope���������nay, one of those unconscious beliefs men have���������that in the end Peggy would be his. This news that Grigson brought crushed every such thought from his brain, but put in its place ���������S.uch_a_.hati"ed.-of.Jhe_vo.ung_man._naw- de Bohun, and, having had either the good or the ill fortune to unintentionally overhear your remarks concerning Lady Peggy Burgoyne, I feel it my duty and pleasure alike to defend her from the unjust and unworthy attack which you, sir, have just been pleased to make." "Sir Robin McTart!" exclaims Percy, with a start and in a prodigious anger. "I deny your charges, sir, and would remind you that eavesdroppers are ever the cumberers of dangerous ground." "Sir." responds Lady Peggy, her temper rising the more at the sense of the tasting the sweets of hero worship (in little) in the adjoining room as caused his fingers to itch for his steel and t'other's flesh to meet once more, and to the death. He. drew Grigson in from the vestibule and, unobserved in the crush, down the corridor to the darkness of the enrd room, where Peggy still sat disconsolate in her faroff corner. She for the moment ls even unconscious tbnt nny one hns entered until the voices arrest her attention. "By gad!" Sir Percy cries* in a low tone, falling Into a sent and clapping his brow. "Up in London! The woman, vowing Sir Robin had crossed your entrance, inquiring for her ladyship! Your mooting not Sir Robin, but nn ill conditioned llttlo popinjay with squint eyes nnd of the height of tho dwarf that waits upon my Lndy Brookwood?" "Aye, Sir Percy," returns Grigson. ������������������No more like Sir Robin, whlcli, sir, begging your honor's pnrding, Is a very pretty young nobleman, with a good eye nnd n proper height." Sir Percy nods. "Then," speaking as If to himself and motioning the mnn nwny, "slnco she's up in town without her parents' knowledge and with a cock and bull story stuck Into her Abigail's'mouth, It must be sho's doped with tho scoundrel out of Kent!" Grigson, going, ventures to ask: "Any more borders, Sir Percy? Will I cover the town, all tho luns and taverns, sir?" Tho young mnn shnkes his head, and tho servant bows himself away. A Her color came and went as Ken niiHtoii, blushing to match his lady, ventured to fipout his odu to her, and. leaving tlio pnlr to gallop on this pleasant path, Sir Percy nt n dlstnnco unconsciously followed Lndy Peggy, nt It'iiHt with his gnze, Peggy iiii'-tiitinit', denying right and left tho Mory of hor prowess, with tjtilpM -.ml jt ..'.,* it ml i. ���������'.-..-. uf \Ue f.dv, still kept hor eye on Percy, Not yot illlll fillO MTU lum ii|>|,n.;irll I,inly i>|- nnn.

"To docolvo, to Ho, to sohomo nnd plot and bring shame and troublo upon hor fathor and mother! Gild's lifo!" Sir Percy brings his clinched hnnd down -frith a thump upon tho card table. "I had novor believed tlmt of Poir-rv!

Bir Percy "Tell me, or I'll bruin you where you standi" Injustice and falseness of her whole tenure, "you coupled just now tho name of a lady with that of Sir Robin McTart. I demand how you dare to assume such a responsibility, sir, until at least either the lady in question or I gives you our confidence or our leave." " 'Our,' forsooth; 'our!' " comes fiercely from between Sir Percy's clinched teeth, while his hand files to his sword hilt. "Why the devil, sir���������an you've been so lucky as win the lady for yonr bride ���������make off with her i' the dark, shut her up lu some unfindable hole, cheat her. parents, and go strutting like some vain peacock up and~~down~other Indies' drawing rooms?

"What do you mean, sir?" cries Peggy, struck with horror all n-heap and with terror as well, yet keeping up a brave show with her drawn rapier and sparkling oyes. "Whatever you please, sir," returns Percy, now white heat, too, and most reckless of tlmo or place. "I've too much regard for Lndy Poggy, sir, not to postpone the climax of this matter until our next meeting. Let It bo when you soo fit!" cries Peg, with woman's wit nnd wisdom too. " 'Slife, sir, I nsk you as ono gentleman to another���������nny, I Implore It of you," cries Sir Percy, rent betwixt cholor, lovo nnd apprehension, "most humbly���������Is Lndy Peggy your wlfo?" Her ladyship was now llko to laugh, so near nkln aro mirth and sorrow, but sho replied very loftily: "I decline to discuss tho mnttor, sir, and would remind you that report hath your attentions engaged In quito another direction." "You know whero Lady Peggy Bur* goyno ls at this moment?" says Sir Percy hotly, dotoruilnod to push his matter to Its ending this very night, and nlmost crazed by his passion and Its bnlklng. "That I do, sir," returns her ladyship, with a covert smllo, "Toll mo, or I'll brain you whoro yoa stand!" Torcy iimltes an ugly lungo at bis opponent with his (1st, but merely ns a threat. "That will I not," snys sho firmly.

"I've got a letter which I found upon my tnblo this very night Just como from my sister at Keiinnston." with which lier twin pulls my lady's most 111 spelled and crumpled missive from his pocket and holds It up before, tho four astonished eyes that arc- stilting at It i'et-irv lu nmazo recdgplzes the letter she had written to her brother the day long since in the buttery and which sho had taken up to town in her reticulo and must have dropped when she had paid her ill starred visit to Kennas- ton's chambers in Lark lane. "Frowse, the charwoman's daughter, vowed she'd found it a-lying in the entry under the water tub. There's aa end of your dispute, sirs, I trust" glancing from one to the other. "Come, come. Sir Percy, and you, Sir Robin, whom indeed the letter your brought me from Lady Peggy the other night doth most highly commend to my good offices, must be friends," taking a hand of each. "Nor let Dame Rumor split ye asunder with her lies about my little twin's being up in town. Gad- zooks, sirs, the child's not a notion of a difference betwixt Mayfair and��������� Drury lane! I beg of you, Mr. Brummel," as this one now comes mincing In together with Lord, Escombe, Sir Wyatt, Mr. Jack Chalmers and others for their game, "for you've the graces I lack in such matters���������these two gallants have had a difference, and 'tis you, Mr. Brummel, can set 'em straight again." "Cards, cards! Spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts!" exclaims the Beau, touching the queen of hearts with the toe of his high heeled shoe as it lies on the floor where it was shot from Sir, Percy's hand. "Split me, but 'tis them that are at the bottom of every quarrel, sirs! Whisk me, but if a spade or a club or a heart, provided it be a lady's, or a diamond, ain't the.only causes for disagreement in this world!" "Correct as your own toilet, sirl" cries Wyatt. "Now, 'twas hearts of course, and the queen of 'em, that's roused both your tempers, but, zounds, gentlemen," taking now the hand of each, which had slipped clear of Kennaston's fingers, "bethink you, if the lady, whoso name I cau't even guess, whom you both adore, stood here, what would her pleasure be? Robin, my lad, answer me, for of brawling there can be none here and fighting no more. Speak, sir!" "Faith," answered Lady Peggy, with splendid valor and a rise in her color nnd her heels, "to my certain knowledge the lady 'd have her name put out of the matter wholly, and she'd soonor, die, sir, than have any fighting over ,heE_prefanences_by-either-Sir~PerGy-d.d, Bohun or Sir Robin McTart." The which being taken to be, by all present, a most prodigious itnd amazing gentlemanlike and politic speech, Sir Percy was feign accept, mock-smile nnd bow. while all the rest blew thoir lungs hollow applauding nnd prnlsing his still hated and still suspected rival. Peace restored outwardly, whatever else raged In the breasts of the two opponents, the gallants sat to their tables, Kennaston managing to whisper to Sit Percy across the deal: "As I was telling you when I entered, Percy, Lady Di permits mo to let you know sho consents to my dedicating the ode to her. nntl Mile, at the corner or Beauford Buildings m the Strand, hath engaged to publish It at once." But this Lndy Peggy, nt a distant table, engaged In plcquet with his grace of Escombo, hears not.

To what else but his suit, which, egged on by his noblo uncle, has been pushing any time theso ten years, since, boy and girl, Sir Percy and Lady DI had played, ridden, romped, quarreled as brother and slater together?

V CUMBERLAND, B. C. WESTERN CANADIAN EDITORS. A Series of Articles Describing their Lives, their Alms and their Influence. 30. A. STEWART. 'Xai*>i<a:'i<ai*'x*W'iaX'X<aia>i'iaia> among his fellowworkers. Mr. Stewart is the emsodiment of quiet strength and modest ability. He has a judicial temperament which prevents him from taking any step without mature consideration, and saves him from the errors into which more impetuous natures Inevitably fall. For the same reason he seldom has occasion to modify any position once taken. It is thus no wonder that the personal and editorial opinions are treated with the greatest respect by all who know either him or his paper. And it is undeniable that both the Advocate and its editor have opinions, and strong ones. Neither the paper nor its editor are' spineless wobblers. But neither is offensive or dictatorial In the advocacy of the views professed. Both recognize that there is something to be said on the other side, and treat those who differ with them with the respect due to intelligent opponents. In their moderation is the secret of the influence of both. Blind, unreasoning partyism has no supporter in Mr. Stewart. He always appeals, not to party allegiance or great party personages, but to sound and inteliible principles. He uses no rhetorical exaggerations, no catch phrases that obscure while pretending to enlighten. Two young lawyers from adjoining districts had been trying to make repu(i tations as orators. When a certain one of them spoke for three hours against a certain bill the other young man took the floor for another lengthy ebullition in favor of the measure. In his peroration he said he was sorry to find his brother on the wrong side, for there was every reason why they should agree. "We were raised together, we studied together, we played together, we were born in the same yar���������yesi even on the same day." "Did I understand you to say that you were bom on the same day?" interrogated a member from Philadelphia "Yes," came the prompt reply. "On the very same day?" "Yes, sir." "Then it must have been a very windy day." ������* 99 II 19 ��������� A. STEWART. Editor and Proprietor of the Prince Albert Advocate. Many men engaged in newspaper work in the Canadian West have a larger circle of acquaintances, but few have warmer friends than Mr. Andrew Stewart, the editor and proprietor of the Prince Albert Advocate. On a casual knowledge, this may seem somewhat strange. At first glance Mr. Stewart does not impress one as a particularly attractive personality. He Is a better listener than talker., He "nWeT^tfOT������s~KiB-viewsr���������There-is nothing histrionic or spectacular about him���������nothing that would appeal to the ordinary observer as remarkably keen or brilliant. He is not reserved- or taciturn but he certainly displays to a less degree than the average western newspaper man that hail-fellow-well- met camaraderie, that exuberant good fellowship which in its heartiness Is apt to be undlstinguishing in its friendliness, that characterizes the generality of western newspaper men. Mr. Stewart lacks that Bohemian buoyancy which is the hall-mark of many of his fellowworkers. He abjures the "wild and woolly westerners." He is sound and sane, thoughtful and earnest. In the northernmost frontier town of the prairie section of the Dominion he has stood for professional ideals that are conservatively progressive. To pick up a copy of the Advocate���������not merely now, when Prince Albert is one of the most important cities of the West, but for years past, when it was popularly regarded as hanging on to the outside edge of civilization���������none would ever think, either by its makeup, by its editorial opinions, or by its news columns that It was published in a town that was the farthest Canadian limit of agricultural effort. Indeed, If the imprint was not noticed, the general Impression would be that the Advocate was a typical representative ot that class of capable journals publshed in an old established, populous and prosperous community. In this respect the Advocate Is merely the ro flection of Its owner. The Ilnost qualities of older civilizations havo in tho person of Mr. Stewart boen transplanted to tho new conditions of plonoor journalism, Without losing ono whit-of the endowment he brought with him, ho has adapted thoso qualities to tho environment ot tho West, and with such conspicuous success that It has passed Into a proverb You know the medicine that makes pure, rich blood��������� Ayer's SarsiparflU.

One may differ with Mr. Stewart's conclusions, but none can deny him the respect due a thoughtful, moderate and logical thinker. Mr. ��������� Stewart, like many another Western editor, is a graduate of the case. Few printers in Canada have had a more thorough or more varied training. He is an Irishman by birth, having been born in County Down ,some_thirtyj;ft*m_ymr^^^ to Canada with his parents in the year of the great western boom, in 1882* The family located at Emerson, which at that time was a typical boom town, two daily papers being published there. In one of these offices young Stewart went as errand boy. and. devil. .After a short time he removed to Brandon, still in the same useful and lowly capacity. A year or two later he came to Winnipeg, working here a summer, and then, desiring to see somewhat moi-e of the world, and to secure a wider knowledge of the business, moved to St. Paul, where another year was spent In various offices. Another year was, spent lh New York, principally in the employ of Bradstreet's. But the call of the West came to the young printer again, and he came back to Manitoba with a determination to farm. The life of a pioneer on a homestead, however, proved uncongenial. ;The smell of printers' ink called him to the newspaper office as irresistibly as that of the sea does the sailor to his ship. Mr. Stewart struck out for the Western States working in the principal offices in Helena, Anaconda, Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, and the State, printing office at Olyrapla. In these he gained Invaluable experience In every branch of th printing and publishing business. It will thus be seen that few printers In the Canadian West have had a moro complete mechanical training and experience than Mr. Stewart, Mr. Stewart wont to Prince Albert In 1894 to take charge of ho newly organized paper and after a few months was so satisfied with its prospects that ho decided to purchase he business, which he has conducted ovor slnco. From a vory modest beginning it has grown till it ls now an eight page, all homo print papor, taking natural rauk as one of tho four or flvo host papers In tho Territories. Tho mechanical equipment of tho offico ls ono of the best In tho West, Including a flno two-revolution proBs, gordon Jobbers, monollno, cut- tors, stitchers, &o, ample to koop paco with tho rapid growth of ono of tho most progressive cltlos of Westorn Canada. Typographically, editorially mid roportorlolly, tho Advocate Is a paper of which any placo might well bo proud, In this respoct tho city on tho Saskatchewan has much for which to thank Mr, Stewart, who, with unflagging energy, enterprise and wisdom, has helped It grow from an outpost trading village to Its present Btatus, u'iti whoHo vilone lu tho iiuiuti will not bo ihe least of thc factors to Its continued progress.

How to Cleanse the System.���������Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are the result of scientific study of the effects of extracts of certain roots and herbs upon the digestive organs. Their use has demonstrated in many instances that they regulate the action of the liver and the kidneys, purify the blood, and carry off all morbid accumulations from the system.
