The teeth are of ien blamed aud extracted In error, when the cause of the trouble is in the impoverished condition of the blood and the starved nervous system. While neuralgia pains are usually sharp and shooting, and consequently difficult l" locale, lhe seal of trouble is usually sore and lender tinder pressure. Neuralgia is pain, and as such Is Ihe symptom of a disease���nervous exhaustion. The nerves must be restored before cure can possibly be effected. In many cases neuralgia is easily curable by the use of Dr. Chase'* Nerve Pood. The patient Is'thin and bloodless and needs tonic treatment to form new, rich blood.

In full possession of nil my faculties, a lawyer familiar wllh the dangers of placing oneself In a position of suspicion of having violated the law, to have deliberately appropriated a valuable diamond ring nnd kept It In ���roil us my best girl. When Lent cume and nil gayety teased I took Mnrjorle lo (bcnlcrs and ot her niniisi'iiionts, uiul tbe only roa- ���np I dldn'1 propose to ber was that 1 didn't tpilto see my way clear lo support a wife, I thought 1 would best let tbo inn I tor run ���on as long ns I could inniingc lo do so without mls- UddOI'Stlllldlng or danger of losing her, fir I hail made u start in my profea- slop und oi peeled my clientele and my fees lo steadily increase, Due of our set.

Faster Is a favorite Benson with mc, as It Is wilb most persons, especially when tbe spring opens, us It usually does at Enstor, for after u loug winter, when the days are very short and tbo sun Hands small and low in tbo south, tbe opening of spring Is delicious. 1 love It best wben certain green things, like tho crocuses, break through tbo last snow left on the ground, us though tbey couldn't wait for it to get out of tbo wuy. So wo nil anticipated a joyful throe days at Darby's. I arrived about 7 o'clock���too late to dress for dinner. Ed sent mo to my room, where I tidied up a bit, and, passing n lavatory on my way down- slulrs, I concluded to go In aud get the dirt off my bands. While standing by the bowl I saw ou tbe slab u diamond ring. How many are there of us who have not nt somo lime or times done something that afterward made us wonder how In tbo world we could have been so foolish? 1 wns or believed myself on the threshold of n delightful visit. 1 hnd just inndo a very large fee���enough to furnish a house���and had decided to propose to Marjorle, who, I did not doubt, would accept me for a life partner, and I was brimming orer wltb happiness. Some girl bad left her diamond ring In the lavatory, and 1 would take It, keep her on the anxious scat for a time, thinking tt bad been stolen, then spring n surprise ou her by producing her rlug. 1 admit tbat In nine cases In ten, or, If you like, ninety-nine tn n hundred, auch nn Innocent Joke would come to no harm. But It ls to bo remembered that during tho time of taking the property nnd producing It something may happen to place tho joker in the position of a thief. One wouldn't think of inking a thousand dollar bill at a hank for sport, nnd he should no more take a diamond ring In the same spirit. 1 slipped my find In my vest pocket ��� nil went down to dinner. A Jolly company was assembled, nnd after saint- Ing nnd being saluted by them I waited fnr some girl to suddenly start and exclaim. "Oood gracious, where'* my ring?" Hut the dinner proceeded without any Intimation that the property wns missed, and after awhile tho matter slipped my mind. During the even- lug It occurred to mo several times thnt I would better not wait for lhe ring to be missed before producing It, but on each occasion something occurred to distract roy attention. The consequence was that when we sep- ��� rated for the night nnd 1 went to my room I found It In my vest pocket, whore 1 had placed It before going dowu to dinner. I Then for the first time It occurred to me thnt perhaps tbo loser of tho ring might have gone to the lavatory for | It, had not found It and, supposing I Some ono bad appropriated It without publishing the fact bad taken steps to . detect the lliief. I have never since : ceased to wonder why I did not go at once to Darby's room, hand blm the t ring and tell blm bow 1 had found It 1 would surely have doue so, but I , didn't know where his room was. What has since surprised mc Is wby I | didn't rouse the whole household rath- | t.r than go to sleep with A piece of i property lu my possession that I was liable to be accused of having stolen. Und I known what hnd occurred I would bave been In terror. Miss Ash- ton, (he owner of the ring, remember- j ed while ni (be tabic of having taken hut thnt 1 had been suddenly transformed Into some one else nnd thnt person hnd been born a fool. Rut what should 1 do? What could 1 do? I should have gono to the host nt once and made a clean breast of It ��� II. Ond I knowu what hnd occurred 1 would hnve done so, but, though I appreciated tbe position I was in of liability to be accused of stealing, my inlud was largely occupied with uiy responsibility for tlie lost property and having to spend a large sum to replace It We lawyers learn not to give away ���ur cases by precipitate action, and 1 went down to breakfast determined lo keep my own counsel till the proper moment. Ed Darby was on hand, and instead of greeting me cheerily he barely spoke to me. Mnrjorle, wbo sat opposite lo me, tried to greet me as usual, but seemed constrained nnd looked troubled. The meal passed with very little said by any one. Dnrby appeared to be striving to be cheery to the others, but took no notice of mc. 1 don't know how 1 appeared, but have no doubt that 1 made a splendid picture of n convlClcd thief, tbougb any bracing up on my part under a clear conscience was doubtless taken by those who knew whnt happened for callousness In crime. I made up my mind tbat as soon ns breakfast was oyer I would go fo Darby and have a talk with him In order to find out what bad developed, but lie forestalled me as soon as we left tbe dining room and were alone together, beckoning mo to follow blm.

Then he told me thai during the night a detective had entered mine and other rooms and had found a valuable ring that belonged to i one ef bis guests lu my vest pocket My professional habit led me, now that the worst was known, to proceed deliberately. 1 asked blm how many of the party knew what had occurred, and be aald most of tbem bad heard of It and the rest would learn about It at once from those wbo knew. I assured him tbat 1 was Innocent, but would like n little time to prepare my defense. To this he replied that I could have as long as I wanted, for In j any event i would not bo prosecuted under the law. I would ouly suffer In tbe opinion of those present, since he would exact n promlso from all to re train from speaking of it. Realizing that iny only defense wns the story ot my taking nnd keeping tbo ring as I bavo told it here, I asked Darby to assemble his guests In the drawing room and 1 would make roy explanation. He did so, snd I made as good nn effort ns I nin capable of making, Indeed, I doubt if 1 could have - made as good a one in favor of a client under tbe same circumstances. The effect ou my hearers was like playing on different musical Instruments-some will give out harmonious strains; others arc Irresponsive to the touch, sending back discords. But the response that burst upon uie like the tones of an organ on an Easier morning was given me by Marjorle. When 1 concluded with the words, "With this 1 must Icavo each and all of you still to believe me an honorable man or a thief,'' she advanced from the far end j of the room, where sbe hnd taken post- i lion screened by others, moved direct- ' iy lowain uie auo pia uue tier nana. From the moment I decided upon my course till (hla action of Marjorle'a 1 hnd felt hardoned to bear whnt was Iu atore for me. When I felt the pressure of her hand and looked Into her confiding eyes, desptto all my will power, my own eye* became moist She had turned tbo scale tu my favor.

There must be something behind this tremendous majority, and P, C, Mac- farlaue, in Collier's, tries to tell us what it is. He declares that it is distinctly u nice issue, the white man against the brown man, and California voted for the white man. A typical illustration of the present situation is found in the town of Florin, eight miles south-east of Sacramento. "Florin is tlie centre of a beautiful little vine and berry growing district, comprising about twenty-four sections of land. A dozen years ago, each of its vineyards and berry farms surrounded and sustained an American home. Now it is estimated that sixty-five per cent, of these farms are owned or operated by Japanese. Formerly there were about 1,500 whites, : and no Japanese in this community. ; Today it is estimated that there are 5oo whites and from 1,500 to 2,-j 500 Japanese, according' to the de-' mands of the season. There were' three large general merchandise stores in the town, owned by Whiles. Today two of these stores are held by tlie Japanese, and tlie lone white man has computed the hours of his own demise. He says that within five years the Nippons will put him out of business. There Were only tWO white hotels ill the place; now there is only a Japanese boarding house. There were two white blacksmith shops, now one of tlu in is Japanese, The barber shop, the shoe shop, the lish mar-! kel and the meat market are own- j and operated by the Japanese." There is no question about the efficiency of the Japanese, and un-! til lie gets a footing, he is prepared ' to work for small wages, but when once firmly established there is I little complaint of our brown. brother selling his labor to cheap. Hm the question arises and must be faced: "Is it well for a state to have such colonies here and there, winch do not attempt to assimilate with the rest of the slate, and which retain their allegiance to another laud?' We confess that we can anticipate no oilier answer Innn most States but an emphatic "Nd" and japan herself, in response to such a���tiitestfon iii regard to her own territory, would give the same answer.

Early in the morning three full carloads of eager people came down from Headquarters for a day's jolification, and they had it. After the band marched down the main street, followed by hundreds there was "something doing" every minute until after six o'clock iu the evening. The football match between Courtenay and Saudwick schools was eagerly watched by the par cuts and sympathizers of the contestants, and resulted in a draw. The children's races were all well entered and keenly contested for, while the contests for the grown-up were all well filled. The tug-or-war perhaps commanded the most interest iu the field events. The three teams were the champion strong men from the three principal districts; Headquarters, Courtenay ami Cumberland. The Headquarters' men generally win, but Courtenay nearly did the trick for them, another inch and it would have been all off with the woodsmen. They had no trouble in pulling the Cumberland men over however. The great event of the day however was between Bridges' and Covert's speedy horses. Bridges' horse has had a long unbroken string of winnings, and was deemed unbeatable, and heavily backed to win by large numbers. After a number of trials at the starting post they got away together, when Covert's mare sprinted and got a lead which she held until the finish It is estimated that about three thousand dollars changed hands on the result. The sweepstake was also won by Covert's grey, running against Bridges' bay. Following is the programme: Football match, between Courtenay, draw. Standing broad jump, II. A. Hoard. 9 feet 6 inches, S.

It was once and was probably oue of the oldest trails in the district. Now it is one of the coming roads, connecting Courtenay and the outside world with a resi- dential and farming suburb, and which mine seven, mine eight, the power house, and lastly with the lake, (but say, stranger, don't try to find the lake up the Lake Trail', at least, not unless you have a compass.) The newcomer dos'ut give it a thought. "Lake Traill No trail for mine! Give me something on a road." Yet the Lake Trail comes into its own in spite of fate and an unwilling government, Look at the ever lengthening ] column of houses, stretching from I Courtenay in tlio form of a wedge j 1 slowly but surely forcing open tlie ! I Trail. Go a little further and see mine 8 preparing for the wedge and still further mine 7, which has struggled into asmall town without the help of the wedge, but which 1 is ready to welcome it. Leaving' the Trail one and a half miles from Courtenay and taking a genuine old logging trail, ou our right we come (after covering a lot of unnecessary ground) to the power house. It "hasn't scratched yet". but it will have long before the powers that have given its em-1 ployers a decent road to connect up with civilization. In three or four, weeks its turbines begin to revolve aud the twelve thousand horse power will make things begin to buzz in the Comox District. (It lias another twelve thousand up its sleeve, but the Lake Trail can't stand the strain yet.) Does the Trail get a fair show? Not on your tin-type. Give it a few bucks to connect up with mine seven and a few more to make life more attractive to the wives aud families of the employees who hold the lines of the twelve thousand gee-gees and the Trail will show you! Our servants at Victoria tell us that we have seven millions in the bank.

He says this should not be. That the government should take back all the alienated lands which speculators are holding and that the government should cither advance money to clear them or clear the laud themselves, with large gangs working in various districts. The cost of the same to be a first charge on the laud so cleared, no land to be cleared for companies, but for actual settlers. The Doctor is of the opinion that a ten acre farm is uot large enough to make a living 011, unless one goes in for poultry, ducks and what not, The economic limit of a farm should be 50 acres. It is as much a moral obligation as a business advantage to the province to make this advance to settlers, It is the duty of the government to try to attract settlers here iu as large numbers as possible. The government does so by phamplets, by agents aud advertising. Having induced settlers to come here they are in honour bound to give them a fair chance to make good. From a business point of view it is a waste ot time and money, from a moral point of view it is not honourable to attract settlers to the province to cultivate the land if they come only to find that the price of land together with the cost of clearing is so great that they can hardly hope in a lifetime to get a paying farm. If it cornel to be thought that in British Columbia a settler only gets a beautiful climate in exchange for prospects of getting on in the world, then good-bye to our chance of getting settlers. They will go to the bad climate and make money, while our fair province instead of becoming as it should the richest farming community of the Dominion will remain with its fertile lands sparely spotted with ten-acre specialists, paupers all.

Murgatroyd called It; but wus surprised at the driver's hesitation. lie had forgotten Ills disguise. The sight of a half crown simplified matters; and by l> p.m. Murgatroyd was hack again In Henrietta Street. ��� In half an hour Murgatroyd found himself for the second time thai day at Sir Richard llanley's bul this time he flaked for Miss Maud Hanley. This way. sir; .Miss Hanley Is la the email drawing room. Mr. Murray Murgatroyd. Maud rose from the depths of a lounge chair to greet him eagerly, and without oeremonj Mow good of you to come again, .Mr. Murgatroyd. Vou have brought ine news of uiy watch? Murgatroyd did nol answer for a moment; strange unwonted thoughts were stirring in him, nnd he felt embarrassed. Better than news; 1 have brought you ihe watch itself. .Murgatroyd, who was now in evening dress, look the watch and broken piece of chain out of his pocket, and held 11 out lo her. Maud stretched out her hand eagerly. Oh, 1 am so glad! I never expected 111 llow good vou have been about Jt. I am delighted it happened to be In my power. The police would have failed where 1 was fortunate enough to sneered. They were still standing near lo one another. There was an clement of i xcltoment aboul them both, not altogether warranted hy the occasion, or i lie shallowness and brevity of tlieir acquaintance. So the police did not find il? Maud was holding the watch In her hand, nnd caressing It with the other, almost, as if It were an animate thing. No! 1 was my own policeman!

She was too full of hor subject to be conscious of any chance irony. Yet Irt politics there must be many devious moods, ninny suppressions of the truth, many suggestions of the false. 11 cannot all be the golden way of perfect, openness and probity. Maud's face clouded. I know that, she said. 1 like my heroes to be all perfect; but thai is romance, not life. Yet, surely, my father conies nearest to It of the men of our day. She lifted hei1 head proudly and gazed iuto Murgatroyd's eyes, as if she would read aspersion or even hesitation, and meet It with a challenge. Murgatroyd bowed. 1 am sure of It. 1 am, and always have been, in a humble way, his henchman. 1 fight under his banner. If you have served him as well as you have served me, he ought not io complain. He has been good enough lo do more ���to praise! aud���to find me other work to do. That is the best praise. Yes. I suppose my father's task will lake you longer than mine. You cannot do everything as quickly as you got my watch back.

Turmouth, he soon gleaned the news tba' Mr. Mullet" was away from home, and a precious week, out of the short time available before the opening of Parliament, had elapsed before Midler's return. Murgatroyd had had no difficulty In filling it In a manner which, at any other time, would have satisfied hlni completely. He bad found ready to his hand a couple of handsome hunters well up to the heavy work of tbe districts, He bad been out with the Kast Devon twice, with satisfactory results, and once with the Devon and Somerset, when the meet was at Dulverton, on tbe Devon side of Ihelr extensive district. But. the 1 ashless he had come upon, and which brooked no delay, was waiting, and ibese pleasant excursions after sport did not expedite matters. Now Muller was back: and be bad sent Murgatroyd the invitation with which mine host at the Falcon was familiar enough. Murgatroyd bad been sorely tempted to make use of Mr. Jordan's capabilities In the borrowing direction with regard to tbe documents ���especially as It was only the most temporary abstractions of which he required a copy; but. he scrupled to use this means until direct negotiation had failed. Highdene, Mr. Muller's bouse, was ���a long two-storied building, which had once been a monastery. Only the great refectory and a decapitated cloister remained to cast the halo of departed sanctity over the modern dwelling house, Ihe greater part of which was only about a century old. Some attempt however, had been made to adapt the more modern architecture to the older portions of the structure. The wind and weather of a hundred years had lent 'hemsehes fo the deception: so that Highdene suggested BANISH PIMPLES ANHRuPTIONS In the Spring Most People Need a Tonic Medicine.
