then had sprung to his minds eye, an
initiative idler, with a certain grace
and hrilliancy Of manner that made
him NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. but withal

called him "Satan's shadow" a tribute
to the actual resemblance as well as
to the palpable imitation he affected.
Harry shivered a little. The situation
seemed. In antic irony. to be revers-
ing itself. 1t was as If not alone
Hugh, but he. Harry Sanderson. In the
person of that past of his, was now
brought to bar for judgment In that
room. For the instant he forgot how
utterly characterless Hugh had shown
himself of old, how devoid Of all de-

that moment 1t seemed as If in saving

for circumstances, perhaps, had needed

"You," he said, shave lived a life of
just and balanced action. 1t is bred
in the bone. You hate all loose con-
duct, and rightly. You hate it most in
Hugh for the simple reason that he is
your son. The very relation makes 1t
more impossible to countenance. He
should be like you-of temperate and
prudent habit. But did you and he
start on equal terms? Your grand
father was a Standish; your ancestry
was undiluted Puritan. Did Hugh
have all your fund of resistance? With
me 1t was the turning of a long lane.
Hugh perhaps has not turned-yet."
A breath of that past life had swept
anew over Harry, the old shuddering
recoil again had rushed upon him. 1t

ended: And l have seen how far a

EASY TO MIX THIS.

What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from New York daily paper, giving simple prescription, which is said to be a positive remedy for backache or kidney or bladder Arrangement, if taken before the stage of Bright's dis ease:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this pre- scription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescrip- tion pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic aff1ic- tions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be splendid remedy for kidney and uri- nary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most impor- tant organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.
