Blood

This is also the reason for the great popu-
larity of Hoods Sarsaparilla as building
up medicine. By making pure, rich blood,
it gives vigor and vitality even in try
ing seasons, when, owing to impover-
ished blood, thousands are complaining Of
weakness and WEAKNESS, lack of energy
and ambition, and that tired feeling.

=. Miss Jennie Brewster was yerN much
annoyed at being interrupted, and she
took no pains to conceal her feelings.
She was writing an article entitled
''1Iow People Kill Time on Shipboard,

she was not "woman's woman" and

Edith Longworth was young, and, of
course. could not be expected to be a
mistress of diplomacy, but she might

gone before.

CHAPTER VIII.

Edith Longworth went to- her state
room and there had what women call a
good cry over her failure. Jennie
Brewster continued her writing, every
now and then pausing as she thought,
with regret. of some sharp thing she
might have said. which did not occur
to her at the time Of the interview.
Kenyon spent his time in pacing up and
down the deck. HOPING for the reap
pearance Of Miss Longworth, an ex-
pectation which. for time, at least,
was the hope deferred which maketil
the heart sick. Fleming, the New Y ork
politician, kept the smoking-room mer-'
~ listening to the stories he told. He
varied the proceedings by frequently
asking everybody to drink with him.

refusal. Old Mr. Longworth dozed most
of his time in his steamer chair. Went

self of having been fool, talked with
no one. not even his friend Kenyon.

forging along through. the reasonably
calm water just as if nothing had hap
pened or was going to happen. There
had been one day of rain and one night
and part of day Of storm. Saturday,
morning broke, and it was expected
that some time in the night Queensto town
would be reached. Early on Saturday
morning the clouds looked lowering, al
they have right to look near Ireland.

gave Kenyon very little assistance ia the
matter that troubled his mind. He was
in the habit, when the subject was re-

hair, or plunging them down. into his
pockets, and breaking out into: LAM

expressive. The more Kenyon advised

Brave Little Colonial Maiden.


Now chat we are hearing so much
about the old colonial days. and there
is to be society of the children of the
rtvolution-the story Of what a little
colonial Quaker girl did should be OF
interest
When the Revolutionary war broke
out Nanny Marten was IL years old.
She was left alone in her country home
with her old grandmother one day
yhcn her father and brothers went to
town. -. q. ..
Some rough English soldiers came &c
the house looking for money. They
searched everywhere, but could not fino
any. Then they told Nanny she must
go down to the barn and tell them
where it was
One of the men took her roughly by
the shoulder, but she turned bravely
and faced him.
II will go with thee" she said; but
thee must not touch me-"
The man stepped back and she fol-
lowed him to the barn. The officer
said:
Come, girl, tell me where the money
is hidden"
Il do not know" answered Nanny
firmly.
They led her under a beam from
which rope was hanging.
Tell me where the money is, or III
hang you
ITnmaypd she answered..
Il have tcld the truth; do not
know"
The officer told one of the men to slip
the moose over her head. She turned
and looked bravely in his face.
Thee must not touch me-" and he
did not.
The officer said:
Come, tell me quickly, or will hang
you"
IF l cannot tell while living, surely
cannot tell if l am dead
Then turning to the officer, she said:
Thee knows have spoken the truth,
and furthermore. If did know, would
not tell"
The men saw they could not frighten
the brave girl, so they went away.
Nanny Marten lived to be an old woman
and her children and grandchildren al
ways loved to hear how mother and
grandmother was brave enough to face
a British officer and could not be
frightened by his threats.
