the cough sprup that tastes nearly as
good as maple sugar and which children
like so we'll to take. Unlike nearly all
other cough remedies. it does not con-
stipate, but on the other hand it acts
promptly yet gently on the bowels,
through which the cold is forced out OF

~presentable fit.
Before the curtain was rung up Ben
ton found time to go over some of the
more important scene of the play. He
was very much relieved to find him
self quite at home in both lines and
situations.
A short time later he stood in the
wings listening to the announcement
of the accident and the request that
the audience would kindly overlook
any lack of smoothness in the part of
Henry, as the gentleman who was to
play it had stepped into the breach at
a moments notice. Then. after a few
hurried words of direction from the
stage manager, two very Hurried
young people took their places for the
opening scene and the curtain went up.
Now. there are certain psychological
processes which prevail under certain
conditions. We are mystifed by their
apparent unaccountability. We raise
u hands in helpless incredulity and
exclaim, "How in%explicable!!" when
there is nothing strange about it if we
remember that youth and propinquity
work hand in hand to carry out the
universal behest. One each at least of
these processes and conditions con-
eronted Benton as he stood on the lawn
before the clubhouse IN hour later.
He had done we'll, and he felt strange
ly exalted. He knew he was John
Benton. but it was a new personality
that cloaked him. He was in love-in
love with a girl whom he had met yes
terday for the first time-or was it to-
day? He was waiting-waiting impa-
tiently and giving voice to his Utmost
thoughts in words that were strangely
familiar. He say her coming slowly
through the trees and started forward
to meet her. They seated themselves
on the clubhouse steps. They fenced
with each other lightly. but with an
undercurrent of feeling. He loved her
he loved her-and in a moment he
would tell her so. His heart bounded,
for he knew what her answer would
be.

it would be the same. A hundred
years from now, and it will still be the
same. l love you. Will you be my
wife?"
She arose. and he followed her. Her
eyes were cast down. and her hands
hung limp by her side. He seized
them in his own, and his compelling
gaze forced her to raise her eyes to
his.
Answer me-" he said.
II love you,'' she said f%alteringly as
she swayed toward him. and he clasp
ed her in his arms, and only his ears
heard the added dear"
He kissed her full upon the lips.
There was a roar Of applause. From
the wings people focked upon the
stage clad in goling attire. their faces
strangely red and white. Then he re-
membered. Still holding the girl by
the hand, he led her to the front. 1t
was his place to repeat the epilogue.
The others formed a half circle be
mind them. He spoke:
I'm what may seem a very short
space Alice and Henry have met, loved
and settled the question, quite to their
own satisfaction. May we hope that

Trade Prospects For 1908.

AO6ROSC6 HOX 1OVCs f-lf
A sign of the healthy conditions Of
trade in this country is found in the
increase of values in the expectations
Of manufactures last year. An Increase
Of approximately $5o,OoO,0OOg in this
class of exports is reported. The in
crease was felt in nearly all Of the
important items Of this commerce not
ably cal and carriages, agricultural
implements. copper, structural iron
and steel, locomotives, pipes and fit
tings, boots and shoes and lumber.
Trade conditions of the world do not
threaten a decline Of the demand for
any of these articles. We may not
export the same values this year, but
a considerable decline might take place
and yet not seriously affect our indus
tries. A real stagnation of industry
and commerce is generally a matter Of
slow growth. When a market is vast
ly overstocked a slump may be ex-
pected, but the articles enumerated in
the list Of expectations in 1907 which
show an increase are, with few excep-
lions, Of the kind which would not be
shipped on speculation. The only ma
terial decline in the exports of manu-
features was in cotton cloths, and this
falling off was due to unusually heavy
expectations to China in 1905.
