has arrived for debate to issue into

discussion has brought us to an

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

II may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor IS Electric Bitters. This
medicine IS purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone 20 the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and
Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried It as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try IT.

PART III.

For a week after this episode Scott
devoted himself to the task Of trying
to find a stolen wheel. Incidentally it
seemed to him that everybody in the
Metropolitan district either had a
relatives of everyone he knew were in
that predicament Hume where he
would be heard nothing but stolen
wheels, until after following up several
false trails he almost decided to give
up the search and cut the matter short
by leaving it in the hands of the po-
lice. He followed UP trail after trail
in the search, but without success.
Josephine's wheel had disappeared as
completely as if it had suddenly drop
ped into the earth. His meetings with
her We're almost as unsatisfactory as
his search for the bicycle. She did not
avoid meeting him, but she was tan
talizing and evasiVe to a degree that
made him wonder if he had any chance
after all. His own affairs and jose
phine's peremptory occupation left him
but little time before the race meet to
draw her attention to the question
nearest his il terest, and so the days
flew rapidly by until the eve of the
meet.
Scott was taking a leisurely spin on
the upper boulevard. 1t was early in
the evening and the famous wheelway
presented it's usual animated appear
ance. Youths and maidens flashed by
with the glow of health on their cheeks
and the sparkle of innocent enjoyment
in their eyes. How much better"
soliloquized Scott, than the hot, stuffy
atmosphere of the ballroom. If ever
there was an absolutely ideal pleas
