four mansions owned by the baron-the
cradle of his race-though by no means
the most magnificent, was yet his favor

there, and he knew every inch of the
country for miles around.
Sybil uttered cry of delight as the
landau drove up through the extensive
well wooded grounds and the hall first
came in sight.
The long front of the house was broken
up picturesquely by the projecting ga
bled wings and gabled porch.
oh Cousin Anne, did you ever see a
lovelier house"
Never" said Miss Ashworth, "and the
country in Westshire Is charming. The

sad for the first hour of the journey,
then it suddenly came into her head that

their last meeting was boat-race day.
Then she doubted again, for she dared
her.
But there was one who had read it who
had entertained no doubt as to the iden-
uty Of the girl who inspired the sonnet,
and that was Diana, Baroness Palliser.
she determined more than ever to put a
barrier between the man she loved and

Get from any prescription pharmacist
the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in a bottle and take tea
spoonful dose after each meal and at bed
time.
The above is considered by an eminent
authority, who writes in a New York
daily paper, as the finest prescription
ever written to relieve backache, kidney
trouble, weak bladder and all forms of
urinary difficulties. This mixture acts
promptly on the eliminative tissues of
the kidneys, enabling them to filter and
strain the uric acid and other waste
matter from the blood which causes rheu-
matism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to place
much confidence in this simple mixture,
yet those who have tried it say the re-
suits are simply surprising, the relief be-
ing effected without the slightest injury
to the stomach or other organs.
Mix some and give it a trial. 1t GER
