though she did not know what we had
been talking about, still-such is the
effect of guilty conscience-I felt
sure she must think that I had re-
ferred to her. Miss Delayne also did
not seem over pleased at my innocent
indiscretion which had directed the
company's attention to her, and she
occupied herself with Captain Rodg-

was an old acquaintance of mine, one

bells. The inventor claims that the ap-
plication of electricity to the body and
muscles while exercising with the clubs
or dumb-bells will be found Of great
advantage, in that the current acts on
the muscles while in motion, and thus
tends to compensate for the WEAKNESS
produced by the vigorous handling OF
the exercising devices. The apparatus
comprises an induction coil and battery
contained in 4 case secured to the body
by belt, with wires leading to the
clubs for connection with the metallic
tubes forming the grips or handles
The wires are OF sufficient length to
permit the free use Of the apparatus,
and variations in the strength Of the
current are obtained by adjusting the
sliding cord Of the induction coil,
which adapts the cxerciser for the use
Of children or adults. The patent on
this device has been granted to Alfred
Olson.

gone out pheasant shooting.
Mrs. Carruthers suddenly looked un
from her embroidery and spoke.
However, was no. deceived by the
apparent unpremeditation of her ques-

ments that she was on the point Of
saying something.
"Phil, what do you think of Glare

doubly great. Why had |, who am

HOW TO PREVENT COLDS.
SIMPLE WAY TO ESCAPE THIS
COMMON AFFLICTION.

A cold Is the result of a sudden
chill closing the pores of the skin
and failure of the body to throw of
the impurities. The worst thing you
could do at such a time is to take
the cough mixtures and balsams. or
any other patent medicines contain
ing poisonous drugs which deaden
the nerves and weaken the body.
Father Johns Medicine builds Won
up at the same time it cures the
cold; drives out the impurities and
makes new, healthy tissue-that
gives you vital force to ward off ais
ease.
This old remedy is not a patent
medicine, but the prescription of an
eminent specialist, who prescribed II
for the late Rev. Father John O'Brien
OF st. Patrick's parish, Lowell
Mass, fifty years ago, by whom ii
was recommended and from whom II
derived its name. 1t contains nc
