Drs. Downing & Co. have proven
that long standing diseases can surely
be cured by the new treatment. They
have demonstrated that the science of
medicine is advancing with other
sciences That diseases and deformi-
ties which a few years ago were looked
upon as incurable, respond readily to
modern scientific treatment. In COM
parison to the old methods which are
generally practised, the Downing
Treatment indeed, seems little less
than marvellous. A person who has
suffered for years with some disease
which makes life burden, Who has
consulted many physicians and taken
their medicine, has also taken innumer-
able patent nostrums and medicines,
without getting any substantial or last
ing benefit becomes discouraged and
believes his condition incurable. When
such person is, in short time, few
months, or a few weeks, restored to
health and vigOr, and can again enjoy
the sweetest pleasure of life he almost
believes his restoration was a miracle.
Drs. Downing d Co. have had many
patients who can testify to such an ex-

simple enough. Among the patriots OF
the Partisan Commune there were two
Caussidieres, in no way related to each
other, but equally doubtful in their
conduct, and their antecedents; and Il
happened, curiously enough, that our
Caussidiere's alter ego had also been
arrested for reasonable practices.
The Paris of those days has been
compared to Pandemonium; everything
was one wild frenzy of hurried and
aimless haste; and the newspaper re-
ports, like the events they chronicled.
being chaotic and irresponsible, 1t hap
pened that the fate of one individual
was confused with the fate of the other.
At the very moment that one Caussi-
diere was lying dead before the SOL
diers of the Commune the other was
escaping in disguise toward the Bel
CLAN coast, whence, after divers vicis-
situdes, he sailed for England, to reap
pear finally in Annandale, like a ghost
from the grave, as we have seen.

Truly" he said, "and you rejoice to
find that l still live; is 1t not SO, Mar

She did not answer him; her very

"You are freev he said. what do
you mean by that, mon ami?"

and know it, and wish never to see
your face again"
Possibly, but our wishes are not al
ways gratified. am sorry you cannot
give me a better welcome, since you
will see me not once, but many times;
as to being free, that is all nonsense.

For a moment Marjorie gave no an
swer; what could she say or do? No
need for him to tell her she was in his
power, she knew it only too well. While
In France he had the power of turning
her from his door, and heaping igno-
my not only upon herself, but upon
her child in her own country his pow

With a wild cry she threw up her
hands and called on God for help and
comfort, but no answer came; it SEEM

all the world.

Little Attentions.

Evil is wrought by want Of thought,
AS well as by want of heart"
If husbands only realized what tho
little attentions mean to their wives
there would be many happier unions.
1t is not the cost OF a gift that makes
1t precious to the recipient. A tiny
bunch of violets brought home at night
betokSns the thought given to her even
while business occupies his attention
the most trifling souvenir OF we'd
ding or birthday anniversary becomes
sentiment underlying its profrering.
Women may be foolish, they may be
all heart and very little reason, but
the man who understands their nature
and caters to it is the one who stands
higher in their estimation than the
one who fCts as though all they cared
about was matefial comfort given with
any sort OF brusquerie OF course there
az pESsJ mercenary women-thou-
SANDS and thousands who can marry

pooh-pooh the violets and value only
the diamonds, but the average fem

wants to beat beside his own, the
foundation of truest sympathy and
love, ia moved more by the little at
tentions in which sentiment is involved

Confident of his own power, Caussi-
diere never WINGED. He had expected
something of this kind, and was not
wholly unprepared for it. He said
nothing, but quietly watching his OPP
portunity, he lifted the child in his
arms. Finding himself thus suddenly
and roughly seized from his mothers
side, Leon screamed wildly, but Caus-
sidiere shook him, and babe him be
at peace.
THAT is what your mother has
taught you, to scream at the sight Of
your father. Now l will teach you
otherwise"
"Give him to me" she cried; give

with a sneer; ''the child is mine. 1
have a right to take him, and to keep
him, too, and that is what I mean to
dol!
ITO keep him" cried Marjorie; you
would never do that; you do not want
him If you do not care for him, and he
Is all l have in the world"
"But l mean to keep him all the
same~
you shall not; you dare not; you
shall kill me before you take my boy.
Leon my darling, come to me; come to
your mother!'
She stretched forth her arms to take
the child, when Caussidiere, livld with
passion, raised his hand and struck
her in the face. She staggered back;
then with a cry she fell senseless to the
ground.
When she opened her eyes it was
quite dark all about her, and as quiet
as the grave.
Leon" she moaned feebly, but no
answer came.
Gradually the dizziness passed away;
she remembered all that had occurred,
and with a low moan she sank again
upon the ground, crying bitterly.
But soon her sobs abated, and i'm
patiently brushing away her tears, she
set herself to wonder again what she
must do On one thing she was deter
mined, to be with her child. Yes; at
any cost they must be together.
She rose to her feet again and stag
gered on toward the Castle Her scald-
ing tears fell fast, her breast was rent
with sobs; and for the first time in
her life she began to question the he
neficence Of the Divine Father, whom
she had been taught from her child
hood to revere.
It was late when she reached the
Castle. Miss Hettsrington, having
grown fearful a; bsr long absence,
