Mrs. Lyle grew white with terror.
Was all this satire? Had he discovered
her stratagem? She looked up into his
face and tried to read the truth. But for
once the eyes were impassiye, and the
face, usually so expressive, looked like
sealed book.
Good night, Gerald dear. How good
you are to me-"
She knelt beside him and kissed him
with passionate feryor, and then rose and
left the room.
Just, however, as the door closed she

long, self-satisfied, low chuckle. But

GOING DOWN THE HILL.

Old Age Creeping on Shows Itself in
Iack-Luster Eyes and Trembling.
Hands-Many Who ere Old in Years
are Vigorous and HeaIthy-Hov
Such a Condition May be Encom-
passed by All.
How many elderly men and women we see
who plainly show they are ''going down the
hill" The trembling hand, the uncertain
step, the lack of brightness in the eye. the
shrunken features, all indicate that life is not
at nigh tide, that the strength and vital forces
are not what they once were and, in fact. tbev
are going down the hill. This, of course is 10
be expected, for when one reaches later years
physical troubles are sure to come but how
many elderly people we see are healthy
happy and comparatively vigorous. They
always seem cheerful, bright and contented
Why should not all be equally fortunate? 1t
certainly is possible. Every elderly man ami
woman needs TO gently assist nature all the
while needs to take some pure stimulaut reg
ulGrly. Every doctor in the land admits this
and lis common sense must be manifest toali
j should not be understood, however that
any ordinary stimulant would be recon-
mended. 1t must be something pure, power
ful health-giving and strengtn-im parting
Such a stimulant can be found only in Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky. 1t is the only medicinal
whisky in the market. Its wonderful popu-
larity is due entirely to its power and wnat il
has accomplished Any elderly man or
woman through its use may certainly pre-
serve the health and may reasonably expect
ever, to try any inferior article or any which
the druggist or grocer may seek to put in its
place. There is nothing which can accom-
plish the same object.

ways, have been led to believe some OF

The Value OF Limo Water.

The value OF lime water about the
house in the summer can scarcely be
overestinlated. To prepare II Is an easy
matter. as all that is necessary isto put
iaycrof unslakcd lime in a wide .mouhed
lar and ill il with water. There 10 no
danger Of using too much lime, as the
water will only take up so much, how.
ever much is put in. It takes only
few hours for the water 10 take up all
the lime that is possible. Ater II has
stood say five hours the water may be
drained of and more water added until
the lime is all absorbed. Acidity OF The
stomach is corrected by adding little
lime water 10 the drinking water. a
teaspoonful Of lime water added TO
glass Of milk corrects a tendency which
milk has to coagulates in the stomach,
forming hard, iudigestible mass. For
this reason IL should be added TO milk
fed the little children. aud nursing bot
ties should be rinsed with IT, hs a
mild disinfecant thcre is nothing safer
or better.

Queer Facts About Q Watch.

Open your watch and look At the lit
tie wheels, springs and screws, each an
indispensable part Of the whole wonder
ful machine. Notice the busy little bal
auce wheel q. il flies to and fro uncsas-
ingly, day and night, year in and year
out. This wonderful little machine is
the result OF hundreds Of years of study
and experiment. The watch carried by
the average man is composed of ninety
eight pieces and Its manufacture en-
braces more than two thousand distinct
and separate operations. Some OF the
smallest screws are so minute that the
uuaided ewes cannot distinguish them
from steel filings or specks OF dirt.
Under powerful magniiying glass
perfect screw is revealed. The slit III
the head is 3-Iooo of an inch wide. II
takes 10000 of these screws 10 weigh
pound, and a pound is worth !i,SsS.
The hair-spring is n strip OF the finest
steel about o. inches long, I-Ioo OF an
inch wide aud 37-Io,oco of al inch thick
It is coiled up in spiral form and - fine
ly tempered. The process of ,empenng
these springs was long held rs secret
bv the few fortunate ones possessing 1t,
and even now is not generally known.
Their manufacture requires great skill
and care. The strip is gaugcd to
20. .oooths OF an inch, but no measuring
instrument has yet been devised capable
of fine enough gaugins to determine be-
forehaud by the size of the strip what
the strength of the finished spring will
be. 4 7o.oooth part OF an inch differ
ence in the thickness of the strip makes
difference in the running OF watch of
about six minutes per hour.
The value Of these springs, when I'M.
ished and placed in watches, ~ enor'
nous in proportion to the material from
which they are made. 4 comparison
will give a good idea. A ton of steel
made up into hair-sprirg when IN watch
cs is worth more than twelve aud one
half times the value of the same weight
in pure gold. Hair-spring wire weighs

times, which makes I97,ioo,ooo fcvolu-

better understand the stupcndous am cunt
of labor performed by those tiny works
let us make few comparisons. Take
for illustration, a locomotive with six
foot driving wheels. Ie, its wheels be
run until Il has given the same number
OF revolutions that watch docs IN one

And then we do the rest.
And think OF fishing fun supreme,
Oftreating sweethearts 10 icecr6am.

And sailing with the jolly tars,
