her life was to be prolonged she re-
fused to make the confession she had
summoned me TO hear. SO ions as
there was any prospect OF her recovery,
she said. she must keep the matter q
secret. But She could not die and leave
it untold. Therefore, she promised
that whenever she should feel death
approaching she should send again Tor
me. and relieve her soul by the con
fession of her sin. A few days ago
came her second summons.
"Preyious to this. only a little while,

AN alteration between Archer Trevlyh
and his wife, during which Mrs. Trev-
Ign, in a fit of rage. denounced her nus
band as the murderer of Paul Linmere.
She produced proofs, when l confess
struck me as strangely satisfactory.
and affirmed her belief in his guilt
She also told him that because the
knowledge of his crime had come TO
you, you had discarded him, and left

the dying confession of Arabel We're,
l knew that this confession would

to guard against accident, perhaps
guided by the hand Of a mysterious

1t is worth knowing that a change

The whole family like Grape-Nuts.
We use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see it."
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, Mere can be no

Clock Not Cleaned in 1os Years

Thomas Burrows of Hamilton, Ont,
has in his auction rooms an Old clock
that stood more than 200 years on the
old flag kitchen belonging TO the Duke
of Bedford.
The owner OF this clock lived in the
Duke OF Bedford's grounds, which
were used as hunting grounds by the
monks. The clock has not been
cleaned for 1875 years.
1t has hammered brass works and
face, and keeps perfect time. 1t gives

from England by one Of the family a

Trivial ThInRs.

ut may seem a trivial thing to you,"
said a ~well-known druggist. "but one
of our greatest annoyances is about
corks. I have been in the drug bust
ness for nearly fifteen years, and l feel
sure that my experience is no different
from that Of every other druggist. Tho
trouble l complain Of is that almost
ninety-nine out of every zoos persons
when presenting a bottle for medicine
will invariably retain the cork until
you have filled the bottle, put a new
cork in it and tied it up, when they
will say: I have the cork This may
seem a trile to kick about, but corks
cost money, and then there is trouble
occasionally to find one TO fit a bottle
properly. The amount of money we
lay out annually for corks might be
cut down fully so per cent if our. Gus.
