WHEN LINNIE CAME HOME.

The day when Linnie came home came home,
She birds In the tree-tops knew.
And the blossoms sweet fell down at her feet
A glance from her eyes OF blue!
And the birds sang sweet:
"She has como once more!"
And the roses kissed her
At the door.
The day when Linnie came hons, came home.
The sun beamed bright that day;
The bees made sweeter the honeycomb
And the lilies leaned in her way
And the south wind sang:
''She hath come once morev'
And the sunshine kissed her
AT the doorl
The day when Linnie came homo, came homo
The hi n and splendid skies
That smiling bent where her footsteps went
Were nearly as blue ns her eyesl
And the birds sang sweet:
she has come once morel"
And my clad heart met her
At the doorl

CHAPTER TX.


The fact that SO long a time had
passed since Blanche had received
news IRON her father was beginning
to cause her very great anxiety. True,
he had warned her that this might oc-
cur; and he had begged of her to be
troubled by no useless fears If at any
time all communication between them
should cease. Nevertheless, try as
she would, she could not keep Off the
horrible fears which oppressed her,
and which deepencd day by day.
At the chateau there was nothing
now TO interest her; for even her pa
tent had passed out of her hands.
Blessed with good constitution, he
had rapidly regained strength; and
according to the gossip of the SER
wants, it was more the bright eyes Of
Blanche de Gavrolles than his MANNED
arm which kept him at the chateau,
for they, quicker to perceive than
their young mistress, had looked into
the solkier's eyes and read his secret
admiration. For some time he, too
was blind to- the truth: he only knew
that the days OF his convalescence at
the chateau Of Grandpre were the
haypiest days of his life.
But at last, as he stood at his win
dow watching the slim figure of the
young girl as she moved up and down
the terrace, the truth came to him
with startling vividnass. 1t was a
terrible discovery, and in those first
few moments brought him almost as
much pain as pleasure. Nevertheless,
the truth must be acknowledged; and
in acknowledging it. he knew
that Blanche de Gavrolles was likely
TO become more to him than his coun-
try or his life.
What was to be done? Should he
repay good with evil-acknowledge
her sweet charity and gentle good
ness by remaining, trying TO make
her love him. and 50 bring upon her
all the horror and. misery which such
a love must cause? whereas, II he left
her now, he could do so, he believed,
without causing her one single pang.
And yet, how could he goP He
was a prisoner. True, he was not
strictly guarded, but he had given his
word. Must he break his parole,
quietly effect his escape, and leave
behind him a tainted name for Blanche
to think Of? No. he could not do

The Best Light.

Some months ago an English man
facturer made q number OF expert
ments to determine the best method OF
Illuminating his cloth mills. Gas jets,
incandescent lamps and arc lights were
all tried and found wanting, as they
either failed to give light enough,
gave too much light or cast heavy
shadows. Finally a continental idea
was adopted. The walls of the room
were painted white and under each of
a number Of arc lights was suspended
a reflector, which threw all the light
up to the white ceiling, from which it
was reflected to the room below. This
system was successful from the outset
and has attracted considerable atten-
ton among English weavers.

The clam is commonly taken for an
example of all that is unprogresslve.
but he is by no means stationary
creature. Every man bred at the sea-
side knows how clam left upon tho
sand will utterly disappear by sinking
himself below the surface; but tho
clam also has a forward movement,
and will travel thirty feet in thu
course OF a week. The large muscle
OF the clam, which helps to make him
indigestible, is his single leg, and By
the aid of this he makes his progress.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Nezv York Tribune says: "The habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendency

easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
of. Women usually begin taking them to re-
heve raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to. and finally like the NOR
phine opium fiend. get into the habit of taking
Them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
il they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble Is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DIR.

her again and again. At this moment
Houzel strobe up unceremoniously,
and addressed the German officer.
'Come back. You are wanted at
the chateau
Hartmann turned, looking back. In
front OF Grandprc stood a file of
soldiers and an officer. While he
hesitated Houzcl cried, savagely.
Come back, Are you listening?
At once"
Hartmann's pale face flushed angrily.
"You are not polite, my friend" he
said. However, since they want me,
/ will return"
Saluting Blanche respectfully, Hart
mann moved as rapidly as his strength
would permit him, back to the
chateau. Blanche followed, trembling
violently. When they drew near, the
soldiers stepped forward and sur
rounded the German, while grizzled
French officer, full of excitement and
Importance, stood and gave the word
of command.
Forward with your prisoner"
Behind the officer stood lieutenant
and close by, Huet the doctor. Hart
mann saluted in military fashion, and
stood waiting to be questioned.
Your name?"
"Heinrich Won Hartmann, captain
OF the 10Th Uhlans."
"You were wounded and taken
prisoner several days ago, while re-
connoitering near this place."
Hartmann bowed.
Hump! Have you anything more
to say for YOURSELF"
Nothing, save that l am now a
prisoner on parole"
The officer looked at him from head
to foot.
"How are we to know that you are
not one of the enemy's spies? On
your honor, have you held any COM
munication since your capture?"
"None. l have only just risen from
my bed, and, as you see, am still an
invalid"

scowl; you will have to accompany
us TO Fecamp."
ION foot, monsieur?"
ION FOOT The devil! you look
strong enough. Yes, on foot. Do
you want a carriage and pair?"
Here Blanche interfered, and
pleaded so we'll with the officer, who
knew and treated her with great re-
spect, that he consented to let the
German remain at Grandpre for an
other twenty-four hours; after which,
If he was still too weak to march to
Focamp, he should be taken thither in
some kind of conveyance. Perhaps
the officer would not have consented
quite so readily had DR.. Huet not been
present; but few words from the
doctor convinced him that to remove
Hartmann summarily would be an act
OF great brutality.
The soldiers departed, accompanies
by DR.. Huet, and once more Hart
mann and Blanche were left together.

Blanche, drooping her eyes before the
ardent look of gratitude which he
bent upon her face. "You are well
come here until you are strong enough
to go away"
Before she knew what he was doing,
he stopped and kissed her hand-so
respectfully, and yet so ardently, that
she blushed red as crimson. Then, as
she turned her face away, she became
conscious OF the presence of Houzel
the keeper.
His eyes were averted, but his face
was flushed and burning, and the

temples, while his hands spasmodical.

we could have studied him il we had had
the chance, and mention the lack of a
professor Of English merely rs throwing
light ON the general situation. But we
had no chance To study Adam Smith or
any other real economist.
Even Mill, though he was the acknowl-
edged authority ON the science until near
ly n score of years later, was closed to US.
He was an ''iniidcl," as the score of years
later, was Spencer, whose Study of So

was Greek, and later international law,

The Mouth and Teeth.

The Mouth Is the Gateway to the
General System, and the Teeth
are the Sentinals that stand
Guard Over the Human Me-
chanism.
The mouth and teeth are the most
important organs of the human being,
as they receive and prepare all food
for digestion and assimilation, conse-
quently you cannot fail TO see the
necessity of adopting thorough hygenic
methods in regard 10 them. Keeping
the tartar removed, the fluid neutral,
the secretory glands healthy. the teeth
solid. aud all inflammation and tender
ness removed, thereby enabling your
self to chew your food properly and
without pain. Your mouth and teeth
should he examined from two TO four
times a year; it cost you nothing and
will save you suffering and money.
When il is necessary we extract, when
not necessary we will not. We do
not make a speciality of pernisciously
extracting your teeth just to get your
25 cents, but our speciality is saving
them: teeth can be saved after they
ache, we guarantee it or no cost to
you. When you have a tooth ex-
tracted you need an artificial one
instead. When your teeth are decayed
TO roots they need TO be out and re-
placed with a set selected from our
four grades OF teeth, viz: IS. $40,
sl2 and sl5 per set. Any informa-
tion you desire will be given you
cheerfully. Our advice is based upon
several years experience in teaching
dentistry, as well as practicing com
bined, with regular perusal of the
leading dental journals. Our advice
is not given from egotiStical and
shylock stand-points, but upon the
square. Ii after consulting us you
decide to place yourselves in the
hands Of men who extract solely for
money, you simply arouse our pity
and not our enmity.
