He sat staring n,oodtly dt the flames
side the freshly started parlor fire, and
when the object Of his thought hap
pened in he sat staring moodily at the
flames. She drew chair opposite and,
seating herself, said pleasantly:
"Why so pensive, Mr.. Mason? Has
going to church made you feel re-
pentant?"
~ don't feel the need of repentance
except in one way" he answered, "and
that you would not be interested In.
To be candid, Miss Page, I'm growing
ashamed Of the useless life lead, and
it's that l feel to repent Of. A few
things your brother said to me three
months ago were the beginning, and
remark you made the day we first
went sleighing has served to increase
that feeling. Ever since left college
I have led an aimless life, bored to
death by ennui and conscious that no
one was made any happier by my e1-
istence. What Bert said to me and
your remark have only served to make
me reallze II pore Iuly.
81 am very sorry. Mr.. Mason" she
said pleasantly, 'if any words of mine
hurt you even little. I have forgot
ten what they were and wish you
would. The visit which Bert and you
are making me is most delightful
break in the monotony Of my life, and
1 shall be very glad to see you again."
And then, rising, she added, IF I hurt
you, please say you forgive me, for
must 90 out and see to getting tea"
The last evening was passed much
like the first, except that now the
elusive Alice seemed to be transformed
into a far more gracious hostess, and
all her smiles and interest seemed to
be lavished upon Frank instead Of her
brother. 1t was as If this occult little
lady had come to feel a new and sur
prising curiosity in all that concerned
the life and amusements Of her visitor.
With true feminine skill, she piled him
with all manner Of questions and af-
fected the deepest interest in all he had
20 say. What were his sisters amuse-
,nents? Did they entertain much, play
'"rris. golf or ride? Where did they
usually go summers, and did he gener-
ally 20 with them? His own comings
and goings and where he had been and
what he saw there were also made q
part of the grist he was encouraged to
grind. She even professed keen in
terest in his yacht and listened pa
tiently to q most elaborate description
of that craft, although as a rowboat
was the largest vessel she had ever set
foot on it is likely she did not gain a
very Gear idea of the Gypsy.
"Your yacht has a very suggestive
name" she said. 1T makes one think
of green woods and campfres. I
should dearly love to take sail in her.
I have read so much about yachts and
yachting that the idea Of sailing along
the shores in ones own floating house,
as it were. has fascination for me-"
This expression Of taste was so much
| in line with Franks, and the idea Of
having this charming girl for yacht
ing companion SO tempting that his
face glowed.

THE TELEGRAPH IN THE CONGO.
Many Obstacles In Building the Line
to Lake Tansanyika.

mdny OpStaCioS III ouioin0 Suo 6tno
to Lake Tansanyika.
Five years ago the Congo State au-
thorities began to stretch telegraph
wire from the mouth Of the river to-
ward Central Africa. The purpose was
to establish telegraphic communica-
tions from the Atlantic to Lake Tan
ganyika, a distance Of about 1900
miles. It was known that the enter
prise would be very costly and $600,000
was voted to carry 1t out.
Progress has been slow and the COM
pleted line thus far Is only 750 miles
long. It took about two years to con-
struct the line from the sea to Stanley
Pool, $50 miles, where the work was
easiest and white enterprises most
numerous.
The crossing of wide rivers presents
ed tough problem. It was nearly q
year before the wire was stretched
across the widest river between Ma
tadI and Stanley Pool.
The river is nearly half mile wide.
Two steel poles were at last erected on
hills $500 feet apart. The posts are
fifty feet high and their tops are 200
feet above high water level In the
river.
Above Stanley Pool to Equatorville.
the present terminus Of the line, the
difficulties were still greater. In this
region there are few white stations
the zone Is particularly unhealthful
and the work was very arduous. The
climate impeded the employment Of
white labor, and nearly all the work
was done by natives under the direc-
ton Of Europeans.
The most difficult piece Of work was
the crossing Of the Kasai river, the
second largest Congo tributary. It was
necessary to keep the wire 80 high that
1t would not interfere with steamer
traffic on the river.
Fortunately, where 1t was desired to
cross a rocky island stands in mid
stream. A high steel post was erected
on the island and two others on the
banks Of the river, so that the cross
ing was made in two spans, one Of
1,472 feet and the other 2.1ss feet. -sg.e
The work was very successful and
the wire is suspended about twenty
feet above the smokestacks Of the
steamers.
The maintenance Of the line Is rath-
er more difficult than was expected.
The posts to which the wire is at
tached are either Of iron or living
trees and therefore proof against the
attacks Of white ants, but elephants
sometimes knock down the iron posts
and every now and then storms throw
down trees across the line. Commu-
nications are interrupted occasionally
charges during the heavy tropical
storms.
Among the minor embarrassments
are birds, which make their nests on
the wire; wasps, which settle in the
insulators, and spiders, that cover the
poles from top to bottom with their
webs and collect litter of leaves and
twigs.
The line, however, is wonderfully ia
cilitating business and is used both
for telephone and telegraph service.
Each telegraph station is protected by
a squad of native soldiers.
In spite of all difficulties 1t is intend
ed to push the line forward as rapid
ly as possible to Lake Tanganyika.-

laxative; some vegetable pill that will not disturb the system or cause griping. About the handiest and best thing to take at such a time are ~Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets" little sugar coated granules, which come in vials and are perfectly harmless to the system. Some times druggist will try and get you to take his own make of pills which may contain calomel mercury ], or drugs harmful to the system, whereas the rPleasant Pelletsn are warranted to be composed of vegetable ingredients. If the cold starts with a cough, and it per sists, then some local treatment for this condition should be taken. A we'll known alternative extract which has been on the market for a great many years, and which has been highly rec commended by thousands of users, is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery This tonic compound is composed of an extract of roots and herbs and has a soothing effect upon the mucous mem brane, allays the irritation and at the same time works in the proper and req sonsble way, at the seat of the trouble the stagnated or poisoned blood. =
 COMMON SENSE MEDIcAriG...
 No one ever takes cold unless consti- pated, or exhausted, and having what we call mal-nutrition, which is attended with impoverished blood and exhaustion of nerve force. Tonics consisting of large portions of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring the desired changes in the blood, because they do not enter the system and are not absorbed into the blood, with the exception of the alcohol. which shrivels up the red blood corpus cles when it does come in contact with them We recommend this botanical extract of Dr. Pierce's because 1t con- tains no alcohol, and offers reasonable and scientific method of treating the blood. by improving the nutritive func- tions of the patient. The ~Golden Med ical Discovery" accomplishes this, by first restoring the enfeebled digestive organs, so that food, the natural tissue builder, will be digested and assimilated. For there is always present in these cases, loss lcf appetite and lack of suf6- cient nourishment to rerlenish the waste of tissue.

Commonly. the first symptom of a rcold" is chilly feeling, accompanied by sneezing, or tickling in the throat.
 The most frequent of external causes are draughts, wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms suddenly into cold ones
 More frequently there is an inner cause namely the stagnation of the blood caused by constipation or biliousness.
 Almost the first symptom is the feeling of cold in the feet and increased dis charge from the nose. The nerves act like telegraph wires, carrying the news to the great vaso-motor centers, and as a result, the capacity for work of the pores of the skin is diminished. This crowds the work of the internal organs, and there results congestion in some one part of the body, usually the weakest part; there may appear a nasal dis charge. or a slight cough at first, fol- lowed by bronchitis, catarrh, grip, or possibly-even by consumption. How ever. there is no great danger in cold unless it is neglected. Of course when the blood is in this stagnant condition the germs of grip, catarrh, consumption.
 malaria or any other disease find fertile field in which to take root and grow.
 At the first symptoms the careful person will heed the warning by taking a mild

 and great care was taken of me because some of my relatives had died of consumption, although my father and mother were healthy. I grew up with only the ordinary dis eases of all children, but about two years ago I contracted severe cold, which would not yield to such home treatment as was handy. Doctors were tried, but after three months of this treatment I was only worse. Then I was advised to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and am glad to say that three bottles not only cured me of the cold and cough, but made me feel better than I ever had before. I will always have bottle of this medicine in the house"
 A prominent merchant. Mir. I. Alfred Arcand, of 6So Saint Lawrence Street, Montreal, Canada, writes: rI have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery of and on for nine years When have it in the house I need no doctor or other medicine. Nine years ago was troubled with rheumatism. Your Golden Med ical Discovery eliminated the uric acid from the system within eleven months. Since that time have never been with out it in the house. There is no other medicine I think so much of, nor none think its equal. Every one to whom I recommend it is pleased with the results, and all thank me for advising its use It is splendid remedy for stomach trouble; cures colds in few days, and is the only sure cure know of for La Grippe.'n
