CUSTOM GARMENT TAKING.

I wish TO inform my friends and the
public generally that have moved in the
new room now being fitted up for me in
the Hagley building IA few doors from
Racket store) about April Ist. l antici-
pate very large spring trade, and will
use my best efforts to raise and maintain
the standard of custom garment making
to the highest level possible, in order to
counterfeit the many spurious limitations
of legitimate tailoring that have been
foisted upon the public. AS to my new
samples for the coming season, it is hardly
necessary for me to dwell on them. All
can say is that used the very best
ability and matured experience in select
ing a complete assortment of styles and
qualities. 1 promise you also in the flu.
ture, as in the past, the same courteous
and liberal treatment, and last, but not
least, perfect fit. Yours &C.,
e. Z. REININGER.

and clear, but her face went deadly
pale, even as the face of the young
man Adina put on a CHASTITY pallor;
and as he stood before her in his shin
ing armor a great trembling seized
him, so that his armor shook and
sounded. And as she looked on him
and saw his grief, behold her heart bled
for him, and for all the visions of her
happy love; and she turned to him
and threw her arms about his neck.
And Adina clasped her to him, careful
not to hurt her tender body against his
mail-clad breast, and i. seemed unto
them both that the barrier that had
come so suddenly between their two
souls was even as this barrier between
their bodies-hard and cruel and inn
passable. But there was no barrier be-
tween their lips, and as they softly
touched and trembled on each other,
they knew not whether that moments
ecstasy was Of pain or joy.
And Jephthah sat and gazed on them,
and as he looked he was no longer the
mighty man of valor, but a creature
sore stricken, so that his hands shook
for very weakness, and feeble and i'm
potent tears fell down upon his beard
and trickled to his armor, while his
face was changed and piteous to be-
hold, and he looked, all at once, an
aged man.
Turning her eyes toward him, and
seeing him in such unhappy case, Ma
marah slipped from her lovers arms,
and went and knelt beside her father,
circling his neck with her tender arms,
and calling him all manner of caress-
ing names, while she kissed him with
deep lovingness on his forehead, his
cheeks and his lips. Then did she
loosen his heavy armor, and remove
each piece in turn, beseeching him to
take comfort, and avowing toward him
an affection more fervent and dutiful
than ever she had shown him in the
past. But Adina spake no word either
with or against her, but stood where
she had left him, with his right hand
holding the elbow of his left arm,
which was raised toward his face, his
chin sunk in his palm. He was still
in complete armor, only he had re-
moved his helmet, so that his sunny
curls were uncovered. Right goodly to
look upon he was, In the majesty of
his stalwart youth, but his ruddy skin
was ashen white, and in the great blue
eyes, which had so lately glowed with
so luminous a love-light, there was
now the shadow of great despair. And
ever his eyes were fixed upon the
maiden, following each movement that
she made, and the hunger of his soul
was in them.

How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington, ID. c." When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In a few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. Ho
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered a
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but | would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about, four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became q running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbour told me of q case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. i decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and it's
persistent use has accomplished COM

CHAPTER VII


When Jephthah, at her bidding stood
up, that Namarah might lift from him
the weight of his heavy armor, he
turned and looked upon Adina, and
great cry broke from him, and he sank
backward into his seat and covered
his face with his hands. But Namarah
bent above him and drew away his
him, and holding them in both her
own.
NAY, grieve thee not my father"
she said, tenderly. Let it be done
to me according as thou has vowed"
''Thy life is mine, and vowed to mel"
burst forth Adina, holly, taking a step
toward her, as if he would wrest her
from her father. But the compelling
eyes of the maiden Namarah arrested
him, and he turned, and began to pace
the apartment with the angry strides
of a Gagged beast.
"Ah, woe, my daughter" Jephthah
spake, chat thy father, who hath so
loved thee should bring thee now such
hurt. 1t had pleased me we'll that thou
shouldest wed Adina. 1t was but the
morning of this day on which 1
dreamed these dreams, and to what are
they come? Alas, my daughter, why
earnest thou forth to meet me, so con-
trary to thy wont and usage? Thou
vast ever affrighted before the soldiery
and held backward when they came
about the door,"
81 was even bold and fearless, my
father, against my usual wont, because
happy case, Namarah slipped from her
that love had made me so, and in the
presence of my lord, Adina, 1 had but
one fear only, lest l might fail of my
honor to him-who knew not my ways
as thou knewest them-and appear UNI
loving and ungracious in his eyes.
At these words Adina's motions
grew more gentle and he checked him
in his walk, and came and stood near
by, his chin sunk in his PALM as be-
fore, and his eyes, with a most mighty
tenderness in them, bent upon Ma
marah.
"But, how knewest thou, my daugh-
ter, that the victory was won and thy
fathers host returning. seeing 1 sent
no messenger before me, but made
haste myself to bring thee tidings?"
Then Namarah turned her fair face
upward, and said:
"Adina. speak. Let It be known
unto Jephthah, my father. that the
thing that is come upon us was partly
