Relief from Asthma.���Who can describe the complete relief from Buffering which follows the use of Dr. J. 1). Kellogg's Asthma Remedy?

Sho was glad of that, for sho did nnt wish lo know bow much suffering her refusal caused hlni, She told lilm as g"inly as she could that their lives could not bo linked together; that, although sho admired hlni and esteemed hlni, sho felt that. It would be risking his future as well as her own to consent to a union where she was sure no affinity existed. It was a touching speech, and sho threw so much heart Into It that she did not observe that he was talcing notes lu shorthand, When she had concluded he arose and put his notebook In bis pocket. Extending his hand, ho remarked, genially; I'm ever aud ever so much obliged to you. S-1-r-r-rl You said It so nicely, and I'm under a thousand obligations. I'm writing a novel, and 1 have a sceno iu which a. girl refuses to marry a man. I was anxious to avoid the stereotyped style ot depleting such Incidents and make It realistic. You're the seventh girl I have proposed to, and every one of the others accepted me. If you had said: Yes, I think I'd have been completely discouraged.

They regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and drive out every trace of tbls trouble. Concerning them Mrs. Wm, A. Smith, Rockhaven, Sask., writes: "I like Baby's Own Tablets and always keep them In the house. Whenever my baby has colic 1 give her a couple ot Tablets and she is soon well again. I know of no other medicine for little ones to equal them." Tho Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 25 cents a box from Tbe Dr. Williams' Medi- clno Co., Brockvllle, Ont. To those About to Wed For the benefit ot prospective bridegrooms, a vicar bus proposed several dou'ts. Whatever you do, ho says, don't spoil everything on lhe wedding day by lolling your wife what ripping larls your mother makes. Swallow Iho bride's pie, tell ber It's a dream of delight, and then lake a pill on the sly. When you marry a woman don't Imagine lhat you know her. You'd he a fool if you did. She knows you right enough, or alio wouldn't marry you. .Tlldge a person by Intellect rather than tulk. I'd back Disraeli any day agalust Jack Johnson, Because a woman Is well dressed. It does not follow that she Is clever; some stylishly-dressed women are fools. Don't judge her by her lips or nose, or the quality of her dimples, but by Intelligence and goodness. Tho vicar told an amusing story of a good-living lass who was asked by a chap sitting next In her in a railway carriage whether she believed every word In the Bible. Sho said she did. Surely, Ibe man exclaimed, you don't believe tbat Jonah was swallowed by a whale? 1 do, she answered. When I get to heaven I'll ask him about It, But supiiose he's jot In heaven? said the mau. Then you ask him, the girl replied.

This repast was to be taken at lhe clos-1 of tbe first innings and things looked promising for an early meal until the last two Mud- mere batsmen took It Into their heads lo offer a sturdy resistance to the home bowling. This fact seemed particularly disquieting to a a'.out man In a white aprcn, who stood at the entrance to tho pavilion signalling to the home umpire.

He returned some time later to collect tho prisoner's work, but found him asleep, and upon remonstrating with him, and inquiring where his work was, received the following reply; Well, guv'nor, yer see you threw my breakfast ont of the window, and 1 threw lhe oakum. lf_the birds can pick my bread they can pick my oakum, too!

Tho romance-tragedy of Engllsli history Is Ilie career of the Duke ot Gloucester, afterward King Richard III. Within it nre many stories, and Richard Is both the hero und tbo villain of every one of tbem. When King Edward IV., Richard's brolher, died, Edward's oldest son, who became king, wus a Ilttlo boy. Richard, whose courage wus equaled only by bis ambition and who possibly nt lhe time designed to muke himself king, al once dllsbed ut the head of ll troop of his adherents lo where young Edward wus and captured blm, 1 The uo.u linportUUt scene In Ihe tragedy Is lhe little king riding on horseback from tile city of London to Westminster abbey, bis Uncle Rlcburd riding beside him, regarding Ills nephew- ���OTOI'OlgU with every pretense of reverence und affection, it is probable thai Richard wus even then plotting to ���upplunt lhe child; thai this apparent devotion wus to win ihe confidence of the people with u view to furthering bis opportunity, but whether lhe arch tleiul then contemplated murdering big brother's son bus not been proved. The little king's mot ber us soon as sho saw reason lo fear her brother-in- law took refuge with her other children In lhe sanctuary of Westminster, for in those days no person, king or commoner, might drug oue from the lanctunry without Incurring the anathemas of the church. Hut Ihe boy remained with his uncle, wbo ulso secured possession of Ills younger brother, the Duke of Clarence. The Tower of London, which for more tban two centuries has been only a fortress and Is now mostly an object of curiosity for tourists, wns then also n puluce and n prison. Richard Bxed tbe residence of his nephews there, assuming to reign in the minor king's name. England nt the time needed a strong governing hand. Richard succeeded in convincing certulu persons of inlliienee that bo hnd better be king. Others be threatened; others be put out of bis way by beheading tbem. Many of the commoners were with him. When ull was ripe he seized the scepter. From tbo first the little princes ���were virtually prisoners in tlie Tower, though they were treated with all the reverence due a king and a prince of tbe blood. But tbey never came out from the gloomy walls. The people never saw tbem. Young ns they were, they were old enough to realize that tbey were In the bands of oue lu whose way they 6tood nnd their lives were Id danger. Richard had a son of his own whom be Idolized and whom he desired should succeed him on the throne of England. Probably this feature of the case turned bis mind to the murder of tbe two princes, his nephews, for so long ns tbey lived their title to the erown would stand before that of Richard's sou. At any rate, there came A time wheu Richard determined to murder bis nephews and looked about for ���ome one to do the deed. lie sent an order to the lieutenant of the Tower to have tbe princes put to death. The ollleer refused to obey It Jn this he braved the king, then nn all powerful sovereign, but to force a man to commit the murder would have at once made the murder known, and this did not suit Richard's purpose. When he received word that the lieutenant would not do his bidding he lamented aloud that he had no one ou whom he could rely lu his extremity. A page overheard what he said and, knowing bis meaning, told him that be know a man who would serve him ns he wish- ed to be served. Tho man wns called, accepted the commission and left for I the Tower. For four centuries a pitying world bns been wondering us to the death sceno of the poor little king nnd bis I brother. All that Is known ls that to keep tbelr cries from being heard they were smothered In their bedclothes. tv"hou all wus over their bodies were j taken down to tbo foot of the stairs below the room In which tho deed was done and there burled. Later, when the murder became known, It wns given out that they bad been burled In Westminster abbey. Rut this story was disproved many years Inter, in the reign of Charles it., when on ' malting changes lu tho Tower tho skeletons of two children were found nt the foot of thn stnlrcnse, ns recorded by one of the murderers at lhe time of tbe murder. Tho taking off of tho princes, being known only to n few, wns kept for a long while. Hut there were whisper IngB, and In time It became known ta j the quean mother nnd ber daughter! that their dear ones had been mfiriliT ��<f by their t-.nrte. m anmtion to men horror at Ihe crime and tlieir bereavement, Ihey dreaded lest the king murderer, defying Iho BSCrednesa of Iheli lefnge, would drug them from the sanctuary and kill them also. As tlmi passed und nothing was heard by ths people of Hie princes, who wero supposed lo be living In the royal apurt- inents of (he Tower, they began to wonder. Then the dreadful news spread from mouth to month, und u great horror fell upon nil England. At Inst Ihe murderer received hf?i first punishment Ills beloved son, for whom be bad committed the crime, sickened ��� ml died. Richard nun no otner sou, ami ut his death, after all, the cruwu would rest on another heud ftin 11 one uf his own family. Mi.'ajjrthilc lhe queen mot.-or of the murdered king remained in tlie sanctuary. Uer oldest daughter, Elisabeth, S.-.S now heir apparent lo the throne. lhe Duke of Buckingham, u powerful noble, conceived lhe Idea ot marrying this princess to a prince of the blond, Ibe Earl of Richmond.

Richard with his accustomed energy ��� Hacked bim before the French and English columns were prepared to fight nnd defeated and routed them. The Duke of Buckingham was captured by Richard nnd Immediately beheaded. A second binding wns made by Richmond, uud Richard again sprung forth to his work. On the king's way to the battle which wus to decide his fate he slept in an inn culled (he Blue Boar. Richard took with him his own bed und hud It set up for him to sleep In the night before the battle. lie bad ou his conscience the crime of murder, his nobles were beginning to desert bim, and there was no one to whom ho might turu for comfort i In a house not far away lived a boy, under the cure of u man who, though he gave him every comfort and educated him, told lilm that he was not his father. The boy's name was Richard Plantngonet, und tbls is all bo knew of his parentage. Tbe night before the battle of Bos- worth n trooper rodo up to tbe bouse where the boy, I'luntngenet, lived and told him to come with him. Tbey went to tbe Inn where tbe king wns lodged, and the boy stood In the royal presence. Rlcburd embraced hlni nud told him thnt be was bis father, though tho lad bud not been born lu wedlock, "Tomorrow," snid Iho king, "I fight for my crown. If I win I will ncknowl- edge you, and you shall hereafter live with me us my son." I Quite likely Richard contemplated��� In case be won the light���to force this natural son upou tbe English people as his successor. lie this as It may, young Plnntagenct the next day took position on a hill overlooking the battlefield on which wns to be decided whether be wus to live the life of n royal personage or thnt of an outcast. I The king awoke In the morning showing by his appearance that he was under a terrific dread. Ills fnce was livid, and he complained of having had frightful dreams. The crime of murder being on his conscience, knowing that he could not rely upon somo of the nobles who hnd brought tbelr retainers to serve him, It Is likely that he feared defeat uud punishment. I And whnt saw young Richard Tlnn- tagenet from the hilltop? When the battle was well on, one of tbe nobles who formed n part of Richard's army swung his troops to the other side. Tbls was tbo signal for tho defection of others, nnd presently the greater part of both armies were opposing the king. Then tho boy saw his father make a marvelous dash to turn tho tide In his favor, Tho king saw the Earl of Richmond and. putting spurs to his horse, followed by only a handful of retainers, made straight for his opponent Coming near the earl, he struck down single banded those who defended him. But tho struggle wns too unequal. A soldier bore down tho king and dispatched him. History gives no definite account of fhe subsequent llfo of the boy who from tho hilltop saw the dashing ot bis hopes. But there Is nn account of a man who was n bricklayer nnd who at noontimes, when his fellow, workmen were resting, would bo found to be reading. On one occasion n person, curious to know what he read, looked at the book.

It is a great mistake to suppose that ill wrinkles Indicate old age. Some wrinkles and lines nre Indications of temperament and character and result from n muscular contraction of the cheek or brow. These lines become permanently engraved in (be fucc aa the underlying tissue shrinks from ibe ttefldy contraction und consequent hick of circulation. Wrinkles aro oflen caused by ill health, mental strain und nervousness, uud generally (hose wrinkles can be Induced to leave by careful treatment and by building up the health uud nervous system. Whatever tends to promote (he general health, to Increase (he deposit of fnt In the skin tissues of the face, will help to obliterate these telltale Hues and restore firmness and smoothness. Very often the skin of the face has become extremely dry, and lines form themselves very quickly and for no apparent reason. While it Is absolutely necessary to keep the face perfectly clean, soma skins aro sn delicate nnd tender that tho use of a bland sonp is harmful, nnd such skins need an entirely different treatment from the stronger, courser skins. It ls nlso necessary to give the skin n cbnnce lo recuperate from the drying und parching effect of lhe sleaui heated air of modern houses. Skin thnt is parched and Inelastic will wrinkle much sooner than soft, pliable skin. Use plenty of good skin food; don't skimp it; it renlly does not pay. then wipe It off with a soft towel or piece of cheesecloth. Quite a Difference. When the Baroness BurdeltCotitts was Miss Contts, the great heiress, It wns rumored that she was to wed tho Duke of Wellington. A friend asked the duke If the rumor was true, and tbe duke answered Irritably: "I snld Miss Angela Coutts deserved to bo n duchess. I never snld that I would make her one," This observation of the duke's wns repeated to the heiress. She flushed nn hearing It, smiled a little bitterly snd remarked: "The duke should have said 'could,' not 'would.'" His Only Subject. Mile, van Vorst In a recent book tells a story of a dinner at Chicago given by the ambitious wife of n millionaire tanner. The ludy noticed, to her annoyance, thnt her husband did not speak a word to tbelr smart guests, snd when sho got un opportunity she whispered angrily, "Why don't you talk?" "Whnt's the good?" replied the tanner contemptuously. "There ain't one uf 'cm us knows a thing nbout leather." When You Aro Y/csry. Are you wenry? Breathe mure, eui ! less.

How to Massage. Massage the face with a good skin food for twenty minutes nt night after the face has been washed with tepid wnter nnd tho sonp paste. Massage, besides stimulating tho skin by Increasing the circulation, smooths tbe surface. Think of tho skin as a piece uf wrinkled soft paper. To make the paper smooth so lhat it can be used again one puts nnd smooths out the creases. The sumo treatment should be applied to tho face, the main difference beimi thnt tbo flesh requires n firmer stroke thnn would be given to a more periaii- able material. The following Is an excellent skin food for tbls purpose: White wax, ono ouuee; spermaceti. one ounce; lnnolin, two ounces; cocoa- nut oil, two ounces; sweet almond oil, four ounces; rosewnter, two ounces. Melt tbe first fire ingredients In a double boiler, tnke from the fire and while beating slowly add the rosewa ter. When quite cold put into Jars. This food will not cause a growth ot hair on the face. A good lotion for use ia treating prcmnture wrinkles Is made from tlie following formula: Alum, sixty grains: almond milk (thick), one and one-half ounces; rosewnter, 6lx ounces. DLs- solve tbe alum In tbe rosewnter; tben pour gently Into tho almond milk, shaking constantly. An Odd Business. -, "Insurance people uro queer." "Uow so?"

HARDWICKE - ��� MANAGER The Courtenay Review Anil Comox Valley Advocate A Weekly Newspaper, Published at Courtenay, B. C, N. H. BODBN, Editor ami Proprietor Subscription W.60 per Year in Advance THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1913 At the present tirnewhen so much is being written about the high cost of living, the tightness of the money market and other kindred subjects which so closely affect the pocket of the aveiage citizen, anything that tends directly or indirectly to solve these important questions is naturally deserving of the closest investigation. One of the most beneficial schemes in this connection is that for obtaining money for legitimate industrial enterprises, for improvements to farms or for home building, at reasonable rates of interest and on long terms, and the average workiugtnan who can take advantage of facilities of this kind for building and owning his own home and pntting the profits of the landlord into his own pocket has gone far towards a solution of the piob- lem of living. There are many incorporated companies and societies who make loans for building and other purposes, and which have undoubtedly been the means of a large proportion of the working population of towns and cities owning their own homes instead of paying a large part of their earnings to landlords and having nothing to show for their payments but rent receipts. One of the best propositions of this kind that has come to our attention is that offered by the British North American Home Investment Company of Vancouve r The company in the fust place is sound and reliable, their directorate and managers being composed of shrewd business men of unquestioned integrity and tlieir plan of making loans on the contract system at a low rate of interest and repayable over a term of ten years or less, is one that should be carefully looked into by every one whether of small or large means u ho contemplates making an investment or building a home. Mr. E. A. West, the Vice- President of this company is in Courtenay at the present time for the purpose of looking over some property here on which they contemplate tusking loans in the near future, also property on which they have already made loans to one of our citizens who is now erecting thereon some very attractive houses.

Showing that the Knights of Pythias are the successors of the Pythian Society, the Pythian Society was the successor of the Pyth. agorean Society, of which Damon and Pythias were members, and the Pythagorean Society was the successor of the ancient Egyptian Society. The Pythagorian Society was introduced into Greece in the year 540 B. C. by Pythagoras the great philosopher, who discovered the world was round. This society aimed to select only the best type of manhood as candidates for membership, who were in some instances required to study for years before being admitted to full membership. It was the leading educational society of the times. It not only required that its memebers should develop a high standard of morals and full rounded character were schooled in arts and sciences. This society stood for progress along all lines, for the highest development of man', ii;d and for the best form of government, It was the constant effort of Damon and Pythias to maintain a free government along the lines of our own government; which caused the difference betweeu them and tlie tyrant King Dyonecotis, who caused the King to sentence Damon to death, and given but four hours to live, Pythias became a hostage for Damon, that he might go and see his wife and child before he dies. The headsman's axe was raised when Damon appeared aud saved his friend. The meeting was enjoyed by all present, and a number signed the list of membership.

As soon as tho steamer hnd landed its passengers and Jordan hnd satisfied himself thero was nothing more to be expected in that quarter, he turned round tho corner of the rock In tho opposite direct- Ion taking a narrow path between two high hanks which led towards Highdene. There waa an elation In Jordan's step, a light in his eye of be- neigu satisfaction, which, to any who know him, and who happened to be As Iho clock at Highdene atahles struck the midnight hour, Jordan's quick eye deteotod a movement on the bridge ovor tho moat.

When the first figure had reached the bridge the face had been at Iho window. After the third had crossed It vanished. A minute later there was looking would have betokened that a tiny gleam of light at the great door things were going well with him, and in accordance with his preconceived Ideas.

As soon as It appeared, the three men who had been watting crossed the Intervening space and one by one disappeared, passing through the entrance afforded by the partially opened door, Aa soon as the latter was shut too again and fastened, Jemmy, no longer with a pipe water at almost any point. Jordan was not. apparently la a hurry to enter .the demesne of the ancient monastery; for, after leaving the public pathway, ho struck into a small wood which bounded the moat on the further side, and from which views, both of the house and the bridge, could be commanded In the clear light of the moon. EUll smoking his pipe, he took up his position by the side of the gole of a largs elm and waited. Completely sheltered himself from observation, tho keen eyes of the watcher were on the alert to take in anything which occurred. It wc-3 now nearer 12 than 11 p.m., nnd the greatest part of Highdene was shrouded In darkness, but there were lights In the smoking-room, and in Mr, Mullet's bedroom, which was on tho floor above, Immediately over the dining-room, Tho bedroom wa�� occupied; for now and again a shadow passed across the blind.

Jemmy could have arrived at hie destination with less likelihood of being observed by a moro circuitous route; but lie risked something so as not to miss the beginning of the conference about to take place. One window of the dining-room was in deep shadow, caused by one of the main buttresses of the house. He climbed up to It, removed a diamond- shaped pane of glass, which ho had purposely left insecurely fastener from a previous expedition, shot back a bolt and lifted the catch, and noiselessly swung himself into the room. Jordan had hardly landed, after securing the window, before the door opened on the opposite side, and Muller entered with a light. Fortunately the light served to show Muller to Jordan, not Jordan to Muller. Thle security was momentary only, as Jemmy well knew. Ily a wriggling motion, which could only have attained the perfection of present performance after years of practice, he got across the floor to a long hor&ehatr sofa which left sufficient space at the back to admit a man of not too bulky proportions. The transit was performed without a rustle. Arrived at his destination, Jordan comfortably ensconced himself in tlie recess the sofa afforded him. Muller euspectod nothing of course, but with habitual caution held the light above his head and glanced round the room���a very fine apartment with a handsome Turkey carpet on the floor. Nothing attracted his notloe, and he at once went to the sideboard, taking from It a spirit- decanter and three or four loug glasses, which he placed on u silver tray. He then returned to the smoking-room, carrying the tray In his bands, As 60on as Muller's back was turned Jordan crossed the dining-room lo the aperture which connected the two rooms. Ou lhe dining-room sldo the space was covered wllh a small curtain, on tho Bmoklng-room sldo hy a glr.sa let Into a frame, which could be moved Into tho wall when the aperture was roqulrcd for the purpose for which it was originally constructed. This hole was a foot broad and eighteen Inches In height, Jordan held the curtutn aside and peeped through tho glass Into tho room beyond, The three men were seated round the five, and wero looking up nt Muller, who was Just entering the door. They wero all Germans, and their faces and drceo suggested the brine. None of tho threo was equal In social rank to his host. Jordan knew one of them hy sight, He had seen him in London, where ho waa ccncrally regarded as a political agont of the baser sort, not too r.crupulous about the agencies he might employ to accomplish his ends even to the bounds of abtolute criminality, The other two wero grangers to Jordan; but previous knowledge of Muller's Intentions, coupled with an Intimate acquaintance with the icainy eido of character, led him to frol that they Wei's a desperate set of ruffians to Ideal wii'.i, Jordan had borrowed Mur- ' | gatroyd's dainty Ilttlo rovolver bofora Halving tha Fallen, mi lighter to carry and handle than a clumsier weapon of the same kind he possessed himself. Ile new felt that It lay handy in his breast pocket in case of a scrimmage. Muller had taken his place in tbo arm-chair In which he hud eat when talking with Murgatroyd. By his side was a small table, upon which he had placed the silver tray with ihe i whisky-decanter and glasses upon it. i By the side of the tray were the materials for grog, and on the fire was a large pannikin filled with water. It was a conspiracy tempered by comfort. By the side of the man Jordan had known In London as Metzler, was another small table, upon which a packet of papers was placed, tied up with a thick string. An oilskin wrapper which had evidently been round them lay by Messier'a elbow, which rested on a corner of tho table. All the party were taken up with tho brew that was going on at tho fire. The solitary lamp stood on the mantelpiece, shedding plenty of light on the group of men, but none on the rest of the room. Jordan saw that It was his opportunity, He had no intention of remaining where ho was; for he was perfectly certain that with tho glass between him and the purlle carrep, he would hear next to nothing. They were not at all likely to speak loudly, as Murgatroyd aud Muller had done on the last oocasdon when he had occupied the same vantage ground. it was necessary he should be in the room. Jordan went out of the dining-room and listened nt tho door of tho smoking-room. Then cautiously opened it with one hand, holdiug his revolver In the other. Ho glanced In, All four wero watching tho pannikin with tho selfish Interest of keen an- ticipatloii. Jordan glided in. lie had fixed beforehand on his place of concealment, viz., under tho card- table Itself, which, when not In use, stood against the wall furthest from Iho fire near the door. There wan no sofa in tho smoking-room, aud tho only chairs capable of affording any concealment were In us-o. There was of course the tlsk that the oard-table might be wanted for Its original purpose, but Jonimy argued that the lateness of the hour, and the probable wish of the new-corners to return to the vessel aud oteam out of harbor as soon as possible, precluded the probability that cards would be Introduced when the busln&zo which had brought the party together was transacted. In any case It was necessary to run the risk, or the information he had come to obtain v/ould be loBt. 8o he dived under the card-table and awaited the denouement, wllh the toy revolver held looseJy In his hand. Some explanation is now due of the extremely hazardous course Jordan waa taking, and the reasons which led to its adoption. Jemmy had told Murgatroyd just as much of the story of hl3 former visit to Highdene, as he had thought expedient; not that he had any sinister Intention In concealing what ho had not disclosed, but simply because he did not care to expose hie cards before (ho game was played out.

HEALTH AWAITS GOODJIGESTION When the Stomach is Wrong the Whole Body Suffers-How to Keep It Healthy Indigestion Is one of the most distressing maladies afflicting mankind. The stomach is unable to perform the work nature calls upon It to do, and the result, la extreme pain after eating,; nausea, heartburn, painful fluttering of the heart, sick headache, and often a loathing of food, even though tho sufferer ls half starved. People with poor digestion are prone to try all ���sorts of Experiments to aid tha process of digestion, and there ts only ono way In which the trouble can be actually cured, and that Is through the blood. That ls why tho tonic treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cures oven the most obstlualo cases of indigestion. They niako the rich, red blood that strengthens.the stomach and Its nerves, thus enabling It to do its work. The process is simple, but the result means a good appetite, and Increased health and pleasure in life. Mr. It. Lustier, of Sorel, Que., offers ample proof of this. He says: "For several years I was a sufferer from Indigestion, anil the torture I suffered after meals was often almost unendurable. Often I would go without a. meal rather than undergo the suffering that followed. Accompanying the trouble I had headaches, dizziness, and often a feeling of nausea. All the time I was taking one medicine afler another in tho hopo of getting relief, but. without avail. Finally I read of the case of a similar sufferer cured through the uso of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I took tho Pills steadily for about six weeks with result that I was fully cured, and could eat anything I cared for. 1 may add that I havo not. siuca had any return of the trouble." If you aro suffering from Indigestion do not waste time experimenting, but begin to euro yourself today with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which go right to the root ot the trouble through the blood.
