PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children !!
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food 1t they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and BRAIN. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

PROVIDENCE AND PHYsIcIANs.-Dr.
William Osler, who has been appoint

Medicine at the University Of Oxford,

stories that reflect unfavorably on phy-

At a medical banquet DR.. Osler re-

He began:

THE ROAD THAT LEADS UP HIGH.

II you wish to climb the mountain, and
to reach its topmost bound.
You must make yourself familiar, from
the time you leave the ground,
With the many hills and hollows you
will find from day o day:
Do not think to reacn the summit,
choosing any other way.
Roll your sleeves above your elbows,
all ambitious girls and boys,
Do not think that life was made for
naught but leisure and for joys.
There's no Joy that lives apart from
earnest, honest daily toll
You will never reach the summit, II
afraid your hands to soil.
Roads that lead up high and higher;
to where glory stands sublime,
All are strewn with stumbling blocks,
but he who wills may surely climb
Step by step and reach the hilltop,
never, never looking back.
Never signing for the ease and fun not
found along the track.
Bustle round and take your coat of,
tuck your trousers in your boots.
Be prepared to turn the wheel and

You will find the ship you're waiting
for arriving mighty late.

R went. but soon found himself
IH again near the executive man
S sion. The merriment was at
its height. Afraid Of meeting some one
who would recognize him, he walked
on rapidly. He wanted to be in
motion. 1t was the only thing that
seemed to deaden the agony In his
breast. One moment he would clinch
his hands and stifle groan Of pain as
he thought Of Lydia's social triumph
and her nearness to the man he de-
spised and yet dreaded, and he would
pause and look up at the sky as II
trying to read there reason for his
misery. He was again passing the
Dunleigh house and was about to re-
trace his steps to his hotel when he
heard the sound Of an approaching car
riage He believed 1t to be the Dun
leigbs' and darted into the grounds
and back to his former hiding place.
He was right.
The approaching vehicle turned In at
the gate and was rapidly curving to-
ward the veranda when George noticed
that one of the rear wheels was COM
ing off. His heart was in his mouth.
He wanted to give the driver warning,
but it was too late The wheel was
off. The carriage lurched to one side.
There was chorus of muff1ed screams
from within. and, to make matters
worse. the horses took fright and be-
gan to rear and plunge. With no

For years there were stories current
as to Theodosia Alston's death, and
they were all based on evidence as
unsatisfactory as that in the extract
quoted in Mr.. Stones letter. Our state

Of Governor Aston and Theodosia, and

Buckley darted from his place Of con.
cealment and ran to the aid Of the Ia
dies, who were loudly calling for help
and trying to break the heavy plate
glass windows. Buckley followed the
jolting carriage along the drive and
finally succeeded in jerking the door
open just as the coachman drew his
horses to a stand in the light at the
steps. George helped the ladies out.
"Why, it's Mr.. Buckley! exclaimed
Mrs. Cranston, in grateful astonish-
ment. 1t was a most awkward mo-
ment. Buckley could only bow, bis hat
in hand and pale to the lips. Miss
Cosby gave him a knowing look as she
extended her gloved hand.
1T was good Of you," she said.
Mrs. Dunleigh seemed so much ex-
cited over what had happened that she
took no notice Of Buckley nor seemed
to remark on the oddity Of his sudden
appearance at such an opportune mo-
ment. The coachman unhitched the
horses from the carriage and led them
away, leaving George in the center of

Mrs. Dunleigh, knew the old thing

have crushed the life out Of Lydia and
myself"

clared Mrs. Dunleigh. Come on in
You'll all catch your deaths out here

not spoken.

Of the woman spy been brought so
near perfection as in Europe. In Rus
sia dashing, beautiful women. OF high
breeding and title, perhaps, have be-
come the necessary arm Of that un-
derground system which appears to
read thoughts as we'll as detect de-
signs. At the present time the secret
service of both Russia and Japan Is
naturally most active, and 1t must not
be forgotten that Japan, too, has made
use Of women to ferret out the inten-
tions Of the Russian Government re-
garding the present war. They are
not, as a rule, however, Japanese wo-
men, who are singularly unified for
the delicate task. To meet the RUS
sian spy on his or on her own ground
the Japanese have, 1t Is said. secured
the services of some Of the clever"st
women In Europe, many Of them

of course, its secret service. but 1t IS
not nearly so ubiquitous as is the 90
called third section of the Russian
police. Yet during the past few wears
there has little Of Importance trans
pired in Europe affecting the situation
in the Far East Of which the Japanese
Foreign Office has long been ignorant.
During the early part Of last wil:er.
when the relations between Russia IND
Japan were becoming more strained
with each successive day, st. Peters
burg society discovered there were
several very beautiful Parisiennes In
the city. They were not only very
beautiful, but charming, and most OF
them fell In love with young officers
Of rank. They had letters OF introduc-
tion and were warmly welcomed in Of
fetal circles. One night at ball given
at one of the Legations one OF the
charming French women was present.
She was very friendly with the Col
onel of a Russian regiment and sever
al times she Intellectually attempted
to draw him into a conversation, the
burden Of which was the length OF
time he expected to be detained In ST.
Petersburg, for it was a frequent oc-
currence for a regiment to be sent 20
the Far East. At each attempt she
was interrupted by dashing Russian
woman. On discovering the identity
of the latter she knew her mission ":
at an end, for she had been detec:ei
by a clever Russian spy.

structed by the police, but their eV-
