Blue Sapphires Of Value

A Moorish itinprant gem dealer of
Ceylon recently secured an enormous
blue sapphire. which in crude form
resembles in size and equals in avoir-
dupois an ordinary two-pound weight
block. The stone is at present in its
rough state and is estimated to be
worth 5000 rupees (about $500; when
cut and polished a stone of about so
carats is expected from it. There
have been sapphires of 100 to 12O car
ats handled by jewelers., the value of
which ranges from 1000 rupees
($l,320) to 5000 ru. .cs t$1,65O).

Round the turn in the path came thf

1 Round the turn in the path came the sound of a clear, mellow whistle, fol lowed by tall straight limbed young fellow, at the sight of whom Miss Fer irars felt for an instant as if all the blood ill her body had rushed to her heart. Then all at once a strange feel. @lng of security, of content, seemed to senyelop her. He was there; he would make everything all right The young man came hastily forward.
 Lillian!' he exclaimed, then more formally, Miss Ferrars." { Miss Ferrars held out two appealing little hands.
 Belinda" she gasped. Belinda. eShe is lost.'
 l Lost" echoed Halstead, puzzled. "Oh, the little girl, you mean. She can't be very far away" consolingly. i Come along; we'll find her." But as they hastened down the path Halstead was not thinking of the child. 7 A sudden glad tide of exultation was racing through his veins. She had for help. He was not utterly beyond Forgiveness then. How white Lillian looked! Was it all distress over the Hoss of Belinda? Or could it be that she, too, regretted that quarrel-that useless, senseless quarrel? He stopped.
 "Lilian,' he began eagerly, but the girl held up warning finger.
 Hush! Don't; hear a noise," she breathed.
 There was a faint yap in the bushes, subdued bark. Halstead plunged in- to the green to return with Belinda, a warm. sleepy Belinda, high on his shoulder, while Frank trotted close behind. Miss Ferrars sprang forward
 "Oh, Belinda, dear, how could you run off and frighten poor auntie SOP" she asked tenderly. Belinda opened a drowsy eye.
 TT wanted to find him." she ex- plained, "but-but it was long way, and I got so tired. I wanted to ask him why you cried when you patted FWank," she went on earnestly. "Don't you really like Fwank? IT didn't like to fink that you didn't veal ly like him just a little wistfully. Don't you, auntie?'
 Don't you?" repeated the man, and his tone sounded queer and unsteady. Cant you? For-for he cares so much for you.''
 Miss Ferrars, great shy happiness dawning in her eyes, bent over Be linda
 'Indeed, IT do like Frank" she con- fessed. 1T always have, though IT didn't know it. IT care very much, too, Belinda, dear"
 Belinda, with satisfied sigh, snug gled down on the broad shoulder.
 T knew if could only find my man it would be all right" she murmured contentedly. Ask him to take us home, auntie.''

'' SAVED uY LIFE ;

That's what a prominent dru g ggist said of Scott's Emulsion a hort time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and S m il ar expressions are made so often in connec- tion with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying inn proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The ac t i o Il of Scott's Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul- sion itself. What it does it does through nourish- ment-the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be Ob- ta1ned in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain ScOtt'S Emulsion and gather good from it.

that the public has a right TO expect
from them not merely good men. So
the railroads will not employ drink
