4 LION ADVENTURE.
IN WHICH AN ENGLISH oFFI-
 GER IS THE HERO.
q Keen Sportsman-Shoots Lonsss Two Lions Lament Over Dead Three Slain in Single
 Night.

A young English officer arrived last August at Simba station near Narobi, in East Africa, on the Uganda railway from Mombasa to the Lake of Victoria Nyanza.
 Simba, in the native language, means lion, and the country around abounds in lions, 100 laborers having been killed there in the construction of the railway. About 300 yards from the station is tank, supported by pillars, for feeding the railway engines. Be- low this tank was pool formed by droppings from the tank, and the lions came at night to drink water there. The young English officer. Capt. Chauncy Hugh Stegand, is the son of William Stegand, well-known au- thor, and formerly H. B. M. consul consecutively for Sicily and the Phil ippine islands.
 He was travelling on duty by the Uganda railway, and passed the night

4 Disinterested Opinion from One of Your Own
 Town Should Convince Ytu.

Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets for stomach and bowel troubles is the best medicine known for the pur- pose. We do not claim that our rem edy is good for all diseases, but we do claim that it cures dyspepsia.
 Mir J. E. Williams of 37 West Farm street, Waterbury, Conn, agrees with us. He says:
 T have suffered from indigestion for more than ten years. My food in- stead of digesting used to sour and lay on my stomach, causing me great distress. I was extremely nervous and irritable and was in bad way physically all round. I saw Dr Rich ards's Dyspepsia Tablets advertised and went to Apothecaries' Hall and got a bottle. They have done me so much good. feel as if I could not say too much in their praise. can eat things now I would not dare to look at before F began using these tablets.

tifed himself, letting the repairs take care of themselves while he went in search of one Jud Byers. The deputy sheriff was not hard to find. Normally and in private life he was the weigher for the Blue Jay; and Ormsby was di- rscted to the scale shanty which served as the weigher's office.
 The interview was brief and con- elusive; was little more than rapid fire of question and answer; and for the greater part the sheriff's afirma- tives were heartily eager. Yes, cer- tainly; if the thing could be brought to pass, he, Byers, would surely do his part. All he asked was an hour or two in which to prepare.
 You shall have all the time there is," was the reply. Have you Vest ern Union wire here?"
 "No; nothing but the railroad of flee"
 That won't do: they'd stop the message How about the Inn?"
 "Breezeland has a Western Union all right; wire your notice there, and I'll fix to have 1t 'phoned over. I don't believe it can be worked. though" added the deputy, doubt fully.
 we can't tell till we try" said Ormsby; and he hurried back to his car to egg on the machinist with golden promises contingent upon haste
 Miss Brentwood found her compan- ion singularly silent on the flve-mile race to Breezeland; but the lightning speed at which he drove the car put conversation out of the question. At the hotel he saw her into the lift with decent deliberations; but the moment she was off his hands he fairly ran to the telegrapher's alcoye in the main hall.
 Have you a Western Union wire to the capital direct?" he inquired.
 The young man snapped his key and said he had.
 Tt has no connection with the Trans Western railroad of1ces?"
 None whatever"
 Ormsby dashed off a brief message to Kent, giving three or four addresses at which he might be found.
 Send that, and have them try the Union station train platform first. Don't let them spare expense at the other end, and if you can bring proof of delivery to room 261 within half an hour, it means a months pay to you, individually. Can you do it?"
 But the operator was already claim ing the wire, writing "deth," "deth," "deth," as rapidly as his fingers could shake off the dots and dashes.

DAVID KENTT' SAID THE MOTHER. her self-control, and the angry light in the far-seeing eyes was giving place 10 the cool gray blankness which she cultivated.
 "That is what Brookes told me, but didn't believe him." said the mother. Its all wrong, anyway, and I more than half believe that David Kent is at the bottom of it.'
 Elinor left her chair and went to the window, which looked down on the sanatorium, the ornate parterre, and the crescent driveway. These family bickerings were very trying to her, and the longing to escape them was sometimes strong enough to over ride cool reason and her innate sense of the fitness of things.
 But into the turmoil of thoughts half indignant, half self-compassion- ate, came reproach and a great wave of tenderness filial She saw. az with The sudden gift of retrospection. her mothers long battle with inadequacy. and how 1t had aged her: saw. too. that the battle had been fought unsel fshly. since she knew her mothers declaration that she could contentedly ''go back 10 nothing" was no mere pet ulant boast. It was for her daughters that she had grown thin and haggard and irritable under the persistent re- verses of fortune; it was for them that she was sinking the GFimkie in- dependence in the matchmaking mother.
 The tears in ElinOr's eyes were not altogether of self-pity when she put her back to the window. Ormsby was coming up the curved driveway in his automobile. and she had seen him but dimly through the rising mist of emo ton.

CHAPTER XIV. ON THE HIGH PLAINS.

ON THE HIGH PLAINS.
 Much to Elinors relief, and quite as much, perhaps, to Penelope's, Mrs. Brentwood tired of Breezeiand Inn in less than a fortnight and began to talk of returning to the capital.
 Pressed to giveA reason for her dis satisfaction, the younger sister might have been at loss to account for it in words; but Elinors desire to cut the outing short was based upon pride and militant shame. After many trap settings she had succeeded in making her mother confess that the stay at Breezeland was at Ormsby's expense; and not all of Mrs. Brentwood's petu- lant justifyings could remove the sting of the nettle of obligation.
 There is no reason in the world why you should make so much of it: Lam your mother, and I ought to know" was Mrs. Brentwood's dictum. You wouldn't have any scruples if we were his guests on the Amphitrite or in his country house on Long Is- land"

 Cant you see that you are daily making a marriage between us more and more impossible" was the bitter Iejoinder. Elinor's metier was cool composure under fire. but she was not always able to compass it.
 Mrs. Brentwood famed herself wig orously. She had been aching to have 1t out with this self-willed young wo- man who was playing fast and loose with attainable millions, and the hour had struck. .-~ 4
 What made you break it off with Brookes Ormsby?" she snapped; add ing: q don't wonder you were ashamed to tell me about it.'

 You will begin by taking deep breathing exercises But before you begin, open your window and try to have the sun shine on you while you are taking these exercises. If you do this you will not be cold in win ter or summer.
 The exercise Is: Clasp your hands upon your chest and tap yourself heavily, inhaling deeply; extend your arms, tapping all the while, and ex- hale. Then try violent arm exercises or anything in the line of physical cul- ture. Do not try general massage, which will round out all the sharp points and angles. One society wom- an is learning to blow horn, which is Strictly an original plan. Blowing a horn will develop the neck muscles and broaden the chest
 It Is not the easiest thing in the world to learn to blow horn, but if you know how to breath deeply and empty your lungs completely of air and how to contract the abdominal muscles as you blow 1t will not be hard work. Remember all the while the more you blow the easier and mer- rier 1t gets.
 But be sure to take all your exer- cises before an open window, because you get pure air, and that is the only kind of air to breathe if you wish to be made over.

It is said on the authority of physi- clan that many young women are being treated for broken arch of the foot, the result of habitually wearing high- heeled shoes. It takes months, and sometimes years, to restore such foot to its normal condition, and in some cases the victim must always after wear a specially constructed shoe with steel braces to support the foot.

morning. AS the bells of ST. Boniface
of which Whittier so sweetly sang
toiled for the dead, one could easily
imagine that there was no noisy Win
nipeg across the Red, and that the
voyageur. the trapper and the Indian
still aoated in their canoes along the
river. Mrs. Riel was buried beside
the red granite shaft which marks the
spot where the body of her famous son
lies. in the plot where reposes the
dust of the other members of the FAM

friends and relatives and old timers
present to pay their respects to the
memory of Mrs. Riel. and the Cathe-
dral was crowded at the services which
preceded the funeral.

All We who love the springtime--and
who but loves it we'll
When the little birds do sing and the
buds begin to swell
Think not ye ken its beauty or know
it's face so dear,
Till ye look upon old Ireland in the
dawnng of the year.
For where in all earth is there any
joy like this,
When the skylark sings and scars like
spirit into bliss,
While the thrushes in the bush strain
their small brown mettled throats,
Making all the air rejoice with their
clear and mellow notes;
And the blackbird on the hedge in the
golden sunset glow
Trills with saucy, side-tipped head to
the bonny nest below;
And the dancing wind slips down
through the leaves of the boreen,
And all the world rejoices in the wear
ing O. the green.
For tits green, green, green, where the
ruined towers are gray,
And it's green, green, green all the
happy night and day;
Green of leaf and green of sod, green
of ivy on the wall,
And the blessed Irish shamrock with
the fairest green Of all.
There the primrose breath is sweet
and the yellow gorse is set
A crown Of shining gold on the head
lands brown and wet
Not Il nook of all the land but the
daisies make to glow,
And the happy violets pray in their
hidden cells below.
And it's there the earth is merry, like
u young thing newly made,
Running wild amid the blossoms in the
field and in the glade
Babbling ever into music under skies
With soft clouds piled.
Like the laughter and the tears in the
blue eyes of a child.
But the green. green, green, o! tits
that is blithe and fair,
In the fells and on the hills. gay and
gladstone as the air.
Lying warm above the bog floating
brave on craig and glen,
'rhrusting forty banners high where
another land has ten
and heavy grief,
And thus With soft c;lress would give
solace and relief:
Would fold her close in loveliness to
keep her from the cold
And clasp the mantle DER her heart
With emeralds and gold.
So ye who love the springtime-and
who but loves it we'll
When the little birds do sing and the
buds begin to swell
Think not We ken it's beauty or know
it's face so dear
Till ye meet it in old Ireland in the
dawning O. the year.
