BRITISH COLUMBIA. V i?4 A Chase After a Man With a Big Diamond. By F. A. MITCHEL. [Copyrlsiit, 1910, by American Press Association.] It was a put up job on the part of Merford. who bated me like poison. Wo had both worked together In the Kimberley mines,1 I as foreman, .Merford with the pick. It was at this time that I detected bitn in an effort to carry out diamonds In his throat. I considered il my duly (o report 111 in. Then came my big find. I was walking one clay far from any mine with no more thought of diamonds than of doughnuts. One of my kids wasn't well, and 1 was out after fresh milk for him. I walked without (lnding what I wanted till I was tired, then sat down on a rock to rest. While sitting there my eye became fixed on a stone beside me about tho size of a walnut. Now, 1 had been working In diamond mines for ton years. Mirny's the stone I have thrown out with my pick whose value would run from thousands to tens of thousands. As soon as I looked at this one I knew it for a prize, and yet 1 couldn't believe my eyes. Was It an outcropping of diamond soil or had some one dropped it (here? 1 didn't stop to answer my own question-in fact, 1 didn't care. I looked at It carefully to make sure I wasn't deceived and put it in my pocket, certain that If I could get away with it I and my family would live, inslead of working people, as swells all the rest of our lives. And so we would had it not been for that most uncontrollable of all things- a woman's tongue. I confided my secret to my wife, enjoining her not tu tell a single person, as her future depended on tier secrecy. But when a woman is burning io tell a secret it's like a drunkard thirsting for liquor Meg was so full of the tine future before us that she must needs tell just her own dear loving sister, who would rather die than injure her. The sisier had a bosom friend from whom she could not possibly keep a secret. Anil bo it went from one to another till ii KOt lo .11 ni Merl'oid's wife. I knew it by: tbe devilish look in Iii*-1 eye the nest time I met him. (Jning '. straight home, I told Meg to trace (In- secret as (jiilckly ns she could, and within an hour she confirmed my in feronce. rierc was a pretty condition Of things. Merford would take one ol ��������� two courses-he would oil her nccii.si* me of havlug stolon my big diaiiinuil from the mine in which I worked oi1 he would move heaven and earth to get possession of it himself. With him ready to swear to anything againsi me 1 could never hold the stone in spite of the company's efforts to get it I had no lime to fool away in con* sidpr;j|i.'-tli.'it is. if sMerford divided tit accuse me to the company, lie liauu'i the secret an hour before Iliad borrowed���������I hadn't the money io purchase���������the best horse in tbe place and was galloping away. I knew that if 1 was wanted it would be supposed I had made for the coast in order to take ship and get out of the country. Jt was a month after I had left with my diamond that 1 made up my mind to take ihe risk of getting across the Atlantic ocean. I knew I could manage it all right if it were not for the wireless telegraph. But what can a man do when an enemy traces him aboard a ship that requires from oue rowed a calico dress and a sunbonuet and went into a town to sell the eggs. I'ostcrs stared me In the face that ������.").0(M) was offered by the company for my an-est. That was all 1 wanted to know, and I didn't stay In Ihe town ten minutes, lint 1 stuck to my woman's disguise. There were risks in appearing cither as a tintn or as a woman. 1 concluded thai so long as I didn't mingle much wiih people 1 was safer as ii woman. Well, to do n Utile skipping in my *toi*y, when ilie ship I'iihui-ii saiieC from a port In the Transvaal for South' ampion, Kngland, ou Hie passenger list was the name of Barton Dexter and wife. Two days after the vessel sailed a man stepped into the olllce of the agent of the diamond company and said that he knew where the man they wanted was. After securing papers that would give him the ������5.000 offered for my en [it lire in case It came through his Information, be told the agent that Barton Dexter was none other than ICdward Michler���������In other wo.'ds. myself. The case was at once put into the hands of a prominent detective agency, with instructions to see that the so called Dexter be arrested on arrival and hold till an identllier arrived. The next morning an enterprising reporter sent a message to a New York paper giving Ihe whole story. And so tho attention of the world was concentrated on a man and a woman In niidocean on the British ship Unicorn, who had robbed the Kimberley mines of ,-m immense diamond, but whose game was to be spoiled on his arrival at Southampton by a gentleman from Scoiland Vard. A hundred or more American newspapers wired passengers on board tho Unicorn to send them news of Mich* ler. 1 can't give all the items that were sent, but I will give a few from a single paper: "sMichler is a small, delieafe man, will) a feminine voice; his wife is rather masculine. It lias got out on board ihut they are under suspicion, aud tliey seem very much troubled. At first they were on deck tbe same as other passengers. Now they keep to their stateroom nearly all day." "it is now pretty well determined (hat" Michler in addition to being a diamond thief is eloping with another man*s wife, or. rather, another man's wife is eloping with Michler, for no one would nccuno so gentle a man of leading such.a woman." is a wonderful food-medicine for all -ages of mankind. It will make the delicate.sickly baby strong and well���������will give the pale, anemic girl rosy cheeks and rich, red blood. It will put flesh on the bones of .the tired, overworked, thin mah, and will keep the aged man or woman in condition to resist colds or pneumonia in the winter. FOR SALE BY ALL DUUG GISTS* A Neat Retort. Thirty-five y������ars ago Winnipeg was a small place, but it had some choice spirits in it all the same. One of the pioneers was William Gomez da Fonseca, a native of thc island of Jamaica, who in spit of his Spanish nanle was as good a British subject as the best. It was when Jamaica rum w-ti a favorite tipple, commonly ' called "Jamaica" for short. On the occasion of a public ineetiriu' Mr. Fonseca was advocating a plan for public improvements. Another prominent citizen came in with, as Artemus Ward would say, considerable liquor concealed about his person. Ho resented the speaker's remarks and interrupted on every opportunity. "Why should we listen to this man just fresh from Jamaica?" he demanded. "What tho gentleman says," retorted Mr. Fonseca, "is partially true, but I will leave it to you if he is not fresher from Jamaica than T am." ' Amid the'laughter that followed the intenuptnr subsided. The "upstart fresh fr<y-n.

Has anybody ever reckoned how many languages arc spoken in the British Isles? Few people would put tlio number as high as seven. But take a census thus: English, Welsh in Wales, Erse in Jrcland, Manx in tho Isle of Man (church services in Manx were discontinued there but recently), Gaelic in Scotland (six weeks ago at Oban this writer heard maidservants gossiping in that tongue), French in the Channel Islands and Cornish was spoken in Cornwall far more recently than either historians or the public know. The total is seven languages for tho British Isles, and yet the Eng lishman is the poorest linguist in tho world.���������London Spectator. Would Make a Big City.

Such, evidently, wns the case with Jame-i Payn, the well-known novelist, when he was editor of The Cornhill. Says a write in McClure's: One day an unannounced caller who had managed to evade the porter downstairs opened Payn's door. Hit hair was long and his clothes were shabby and untidy. He had a roll of papers in his hand. Payn, surmising n poet and an epic several thousand lines long looked up. "Well, sir?" "I've brought you something about sarcoma and carcinoma." "We aro overcrowded with poetry��������� couldn't accept another line, not if it were bv Milton." "Poetry!" the caller flashed. "Do you know anything about sarcoma and carcinoma?" "Italian lovers, aren't they?" saiJ Payn, impcrturbahly. The caller retreated, with a withering glance at the editor. Under the same roof as The Cornhill was tho office of a medical and surgical journal, and it was this that tho caller sought for the disposal of a treatise on those cancerous growths with tlm euphonious names, which with a layman's ignorance Payn ascribed to poetry.

When she first became secretary the league had 40,000 members. That was about eight years ago. To-day there are close upon 200,000.

Important- Discoveries Have Made In Tobermory Bay. Salvage operations . at the ���������vhere the Tuscany galleon Florencia is"* supposed to have been lost, in Tobermory,Bay, Scotland, have led to such important finds during the past fortnight that those in charge of the operations have decided to charter a powerful suction dredger, capable of clearing the area where the majority of the undoubted relics of the Florencia have be.n found. Two, days before diving ceased there was recovered a fine silver lamp, of Italian pattern, quite close to where a silver candlestick was recovered previously, and where two stone cannon balls were found a few days ago. The recovery of such articles as silyer lamps, silver' plates and silver candlesticks bears out the story in"1 the Spanish records, that there was on board quite a fortune in the way of sacred vessels,' silver crucifixes, lamps, and candelabra belonging to the seven priests who sailed in the vessel. In the list of the treasures carried on the Florencia were included a crown of gold, with many jewels, and the admiral's sword. The diver one day came upon the richly adorned basket-hilt of a sixteenth-century rapier. The quillons of the hilt displayed beautiful filigree work, and on tlie guard was a Maltese cross, with ball and crown, under which was a monogram "G.R." Tho guard was still further ornamented with fine imitations of flowers and other fancy work. An authority on antiquities, at present on holiday at Tobermory, considers that the decorations of the hilt are of gold, and this opinion is strengthened by the fact that the hilt was entirely free from lime incrustations. In the records of the Clan MacLean district mention is made of the admiral's sword being on board tho Florencia". The hilt found may or may not be that of the admiral's sword, but it certainly is that of some grandee, and on the Florencia there were at least two such grandees ���������Don Garcia Chanez and Don Fernando Bernadino. PLANK FELL ON HIM. THE RETORT COURTEOUS. Hamilton Man Badly Injured. Eeuben Atherton, of 367 Ferguson Ave., Hamilton, an employee of the Otis Elevator Co., sustained serious injury while at work. A plank fell from a height on to his right foot, ciushing it badly. He was taken home, where Zam-Buk was applied with good results. Telling his experience of the balm, he said: "After the doctor had dressed the damaged foot with some preparation ,of -his own 1. was in great pain, and as day after'day I seemed to get no relief I left off medical treatment and .tried Zam-Buk. From the very first application I traced an improvement. Zam-Buk really seemed to act like' magic, cleaning all the unhealthy matter from the wounds, di:.wing out all discoloration, inflammation and soreness; and started healing in quick time. In two weeks the toe and foot were well again. Zam-Buk balm is certainly a wonderful healer, and I would not care to be without a box in the house. You can use the above statement in any paper, books or publications, as it may lead some other sufferer to use Zam-Buk and get relief as I did." All workers should keep Zam-Buk handy. Applied to a cut or wound, it stops the pain, commences healing, and���������what is equally fine���������it prevents all possibility of blood-poisoning. Zam-Buk is equally good for skin diseases, and cures eczema, itch, ulcers, abscesses, varicose ulcer?, scalp sores, blood-poisoning, etc., it heals cold cracks, chapped hands, frost bite; cures piles and all inflamed conditions of the skin and tissue.

IMPOVERISHED BLOOD A Common and a Dangerous Trouble���������You Must Enrich the Blood to Escape Danger. Anaemia is simply a lack of blood It is one of the most common and at the same time ino.it dangerous diseases with which growing girls suffer. It is common because the blood so often becomes impoveiisheJ during development, when girls are too frequently allowed to over-study, over- woik and suffer from a lack of exercise. It is dangerous because of the stealthiness of its approach, often being well developed before its presence is recognized, and because of its tendency to grow so steadily worse, if not promptly cheeked, that it may run into consumption. Tlie value of the tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should be known to every mother in the land. These Pills make new, rich blood, tone the organs and nerves, bring a glow of health to pale, sallow cheeks, and diive away the weakness, headaches, faintness, heart palpitation and loss of energy so noticeable in young girls who^are suffering from anaemia. To all such Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are an actual life saver. Miss Mabel McTav'sh, Prince Albert, Sask., says: "In my case 1 can only say that life had lost its magic; all work was a trial, and even ^uiiu ^ w ^ pleasure only a task When I went %\^ ^{"t<.,Ys"gentlemanrs'hous<T"and Disappointed Brides. "Everybody knows the story told by Charles Dickens of the lady who kept to her room and would not suffer the wedding feast to be removed from the table after the wedding was interrupted. There are three or four other- in which a lifelong seclusion followed a love disappointment. Two of these ladies died in the year 1778. One of them, Mary Lydia Lucrine, a maiden lady of what was then called a "genteel" fortune���������I, have reason to believe that the adjective meant something not exceeding $1,500 a year���������lived for many years in her lodgings in Oxford street, never going outside the rooms, and never admitting the light of the sun. The other, whose name is not given in my authority, lived in Charles street, also wholly in her own rooms, and always by the light of a lamp or candle. Ten years before th's in the year 1768, one Esther Claridge died in her lodgings on Tower Hi!', where she had lived for thirty-fiv? years, never once going outside her rooms. It would appear as if, in matter oflove, it was thought respectable ancl the right thing to do, if these matters went wrong, to make retreat from the world. The mediaeval woman went into a nunnery, and thero nursed a broken heart; in the last century she went upstairs, pulled down the blinds, closed the shutters and the curtains, lit a candle, and sat down in dignity to weep. Her friends came, to visit her; if she was possessed of a "genteel" fortune, like Mary Lydia Lucrine, she provided tea aw- caie or something hot, with, a- glas.* of cordial. If, however, she had no money, she had to stay at home anJ to go on with the old domestic du ties. In that case she speedily pieced together the fragments of the broken heart and give it perhaps none the worse for the fracture and the recovery, to another man. Resurrection President Johnson of the American league was pointing out to a sporting editor the wonderful money-making possibilities of the baseball business. "Biueball i3 ingrained in our people," he said. "They'll give their time and money to baseball though the heavens fall." "There's a spice of truth in the story of the boss who said to his office boy: ." 'Well, Henry, I don't see how you will get to any of tlie games this season, as your grandmother died twice while football was on.' "'But, sir,"*said the boy, 'grandfather has married again much against the wishes of the family."

An Editorial Reply Which Was Sharp and Beyond the Libel Law There are a great many varieties of tho "retort courteous," even though no one has ever taken the trouble to classify them. The repartee of tho cultured wit is often so subtle that it appears pointless to the man whose methods are those of a heavy-weight. The retort of the skilled Parliamentarian differs greatly from that of the professor in an academic debate. There are many other types, but standing all alone in a place by itself is the retort of the newspaper of,the small town. .*��������� A very good example of the way in which these editors go for one another appeared a short time ago in an Ontario paper. It was a weekly published in one of those small towns which has a rival community a few miles away. They hate one another with a deadly enmity, but for the sake of economy they occasionally work together and use the same electric power house and the same private telephone system. It is unnecessary to add that the town whicli gets its telephone service from the, other village spends considerable time passing criticisms upon their treatment and the management of the company. The bickerings over these things have become chronic. One week the paper came out with an 'article which occupied the moat conspicuous portion 'of the front page and gave the telephone service a severe raking over the coals. The editor had a personal grievance which tie made the text of his editorial. His wife had been left at home alone one evening, and a diunken man got on the verandah by mistake. The lady attempted to call the police but could not get "central." In lurid colors and with emotional ability which characterizes a country newspaper, the editor described his wife's state of mind. He proved that the telephone company was responsible for the pitiful condition of nervousness in which the l������.-5' was eventually found. It was confidently expected that the paper in the neighboring town would come back with an attack upon ths electric light system. The next issue was eagerly secured, but it contained snly line shcrt reference to the incident, printed in large letters. The editor remarked, "We are greatly surprised that Mrs. Scribe should be disturbed by the sound of a drunken man on her verandah."

The extraordinary Gorse Hall murder case in England, in which the likeness of two men to each other has been c6mrnented upon, brings to mind the frequency of cases of "doubles." On the second day of the hearing of 'the charges against Crippen and Miss Leneve at Bow Street there was present a well-known journalist, who had had the- unpleasant experience of being mistaken by the police for the male prisoner. One Sunday, before it became known that Crippen was on board the Montrose, bound for Canada, a sergeant and two or three constables ar- Worms sap the strength and undermine the vitality of children.

External Treatment ��������� Necessary for Eczema up a flight of stairs I was ready to drop from sheer weakness, and I had begun to think life would be a continued burden. But all this is now changed, thanks to'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These were recommended to me, and after taking them for about a month I found my health renewed. I could sleep better, my appetitie returned, and I was so strong and well that housework was no longer a burden to me. My sister seemed to be going the same way last summer and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were at once sent for and two boxes made her as well as ever. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now the prized medicine in our home, and doctor bills have been fewer since we discovered tlie virtues of this great medicine."

Surprising Results Obtained from DR. CHASE'S OINTMENT in Treating - This Obstinate Skin Trouble. Eczema may arise from a variety of causes but once Blurted it is a skin disease that will continue to spread and becdmc more annoying until local, external treatment effects a cure. This is why Dr. Chase's Ointment has supplanted the old-fashioned internal treatments which wore always disappointing in results. When this soothing, healing ointment is applied you see and feel the benefits in short order. The itching, stinging sens'itions are overcome and with the wondeiful relief thus obtained you aro riicoiiiiiged to continue the treatment until gradually the Bores nre healed up and the disease thoroughly wip:J out.

S., states:���������"After three years of miserable torture and sleepless nights with terrible eczema, and after trying over a dozen remedies without obtaining anything but slight temporary relief, I have been perfectly arid entirely cured by using Dr. Chase's Oinf meiit. After the third or fouitli application of this grand ointment I obtained relief, and a few boxes were sufllcicnt to make a thorough cure.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
