"No; but | take the responsible

Ruric pondered a few moments,
and he saw that his friend was right.
''Let me go and see my mother"
he said, "and then | will go with
you"
"But make haste" urged the
Greek, "for the dukes men may be
here soon, and ! do not wish them
to see you. And tell your mother
to inform whoever may call that she
knows not where you are gone, but
that you will be back by night"
The youth nodded assent and
then went into his mothers room,
where he explained to her what had
happened and what he was about to
do.
"And how long must these things
be? the mother uttered, gazing ca
gerly upon her son.
"Not long," returned Ruric. 81

The widow promised all that her
son asked and soon became assured
that all was well, but Paul was left
with the duty of attending to those
who might come for Ruric, though
they might see the widow if they
persisted. The boy promised to tell
all that asked for his master that he
was gone away on business and
would not return till evening.
The mother came out before Ru-
ric was ready to start, and her ex-
animation of the Greeks counte- !
nance seemed N be satisfactory, for
iile anxious look lett her face, and
she looked upon the visitor kindly.
AS Ruric entered the sledge the
dawn of day was plainly announced
in the east and the stars were paling
in the sky. The Greek did not take
the direct road to the Kremlin, but
struck off to the westward and SO

Stop the
Blight

1t is asad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
1t is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion can stop
that blight. There is no
reason why such aChlld should
stay small. SCOTS Emulsion
is a medicine with lots of
strength in it-tke kind Of

of caress
Just then the door opened, and the
father entered. He was man well
past seventy, with hair as white as
snow. His bright eyes were not yet
dim, and there was very striking re-
semblance between him and his elder
daughter.
What news, father?' asked Eliza

Nothing. Nothing new, except that
the English, led by the traitor, Arnold,
have been raiding the country again.

mention of Arnold, for the colonies
were very bitter against this man that
had been false to them.

the father, as he took his place at the

THE next morning after doing the
usual work Dorothy took her knitting
and sat by the door, while Elizabeth
brought the wheel from the corner and

darkened, and as they looked I'D in sur

they could say a word he was gone.
"'What shall we do?' moaned Doro-

They could not work, but sat in the
doorway waiting and watching and
talking to their neighbors, who were
also anxiously waiting.
Soon their father came in, his face
was drawn and pale, but his eyes were
bright. A cry went up as a soldier
came running through the streets.
God help the town. he cried. The
fort has surrendered and the British
have murdered the general and most
of the men. The traitor, Arnold, is in
command!
There was confusion at once. Every
person able to hold musket got
ready for the defense that they knew

thy was almost fainting from fright,
but Elizabeth followed her fathers
example and took down gun that she
knew we'll how to handle. They had not
long to wait. The soldiers came through
the streets killing the inhabitants and
burning their homes, headed by Arnold
himself. Elizabeth saw her poor old
father shot down before her, and Doro-
thy fell in q faint across his PROSTATE
body. Quick as a fash she raised her
musket and, aiming straight at Arnold,
fired, but the shot missed and before
she could try again it was wrested

"But over Arnold's face swept a
flush of shame. What his thoughts

to Elizabeth, and remember that Bene-

We all speak of catching" cold, and
the belief that an ordinary cold is

fectious disease and in no other way
seems to be gaining ground among
medical men. Dr. III. Willoughby Gard
ner writes in The Lancet:
'Colds are almost unknown In the
Arctic circle, not on account of the
action of the continuous cold, but be-
cause the greater part OF that region
is uninhabited. When Sir William
Conway and his men were exploring
Spitzbergen, though they were exposed
to great privations and were almost
constantly wet through, they never
caught cold, but directly they came
down to Andree's settlement OH the
coast, where some forty men were liv-
ing in almost constant intercourse with
the mainland. they all developed vio-
lent colds. hansen and his men never
caught cold during all the three

When Dolly smiles twin Cupids seek
And find the dimples in her cheeks
And in those dimples straightway sit
Till Dolly's laugh doth make them Hit.
And when she laughs those Cupids twain
Do HE her rosy mouth inside
And dance upon her teeth of pearl,
To play at seek and then at hide.

When at your saucy jests We play,
Leave on those rosy lips a kiss,
Whisper it's mine, and steal away.
