After La Grippe

"I had suffered several weeks with LaGrippe. Had pains in my head and eyes. It felt as though there was heavy weight on the top of my head, until it seemed that my brain would burst. I was so nervous that could not rest or sleep. When dozed off l would awake with a sudden jerking of my whole body. Dr. Miles Nervine, Heart Remedy and Nerve and Liver Pills cured me. A number of friends have since realized the same benefits"
 MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS,
 Scsbrook, N. H. The after effects of LaGrippe are often more serious than the disease, as it leaves the system in a weakened condition that invites more serious troubles, such as pneumonia, etc.

Alcatrante and Poritol looked al
each other. The minister spoke:
"Will you engage not to give the

May I ask what right you have to

rowed. "My right is that l have the
bill and the information, and l intend
to understand the situation better be-
fore l give the information to anyone

But you recognized Senior Pori

claimed the minister.
'On the face of it, yes. He did not

With formal bow, Alcatrante
turned to the door and departed,
Poritol following

and stood idly watching the lights of
the vessels on the lake. But his mind
was not on the unfolded view before
him. He was puzzling over this mys-
terry in which he had so suddenly be-
come factor. Unquestionably the
flve-dollar bill held the key to some
serious problem.
Surely Alcatrante had not come
merely as the friend of Poritol, for
the difference in the station of the
two South Americans was marked.
Poritol was cheap Characterised
full, no doubt, in certain kinds of work,
but vulgar and unconvincing
Alcatrante, on the other hand, was
a name to make statesmen knit their
brows. A smooth trouble-maker, he
had set Europe by the ears in the
matter of unsettled South American
loans, dexterously appealing to the
much-overworked Monroe doctrine

every time his country was threatened
by a French or German or British
blockade. But his mind was of no
small caliber. He could hold his own
not only at his own game of interna-
tional chess, but in the cultured dis
cussion of polite topics. Orme knew
of him as a clever after-dinner speak
er, a man who could, when he so de-
sired, please greatly by his personal
charm.
No, Alcatrante was no friend OF
Poritors; nor was it likely that, as
protector of the interests of his coun-
trymen, he would go so far as to &C
company them on their errands I'M
less much was at stake. Perhaps
Poritol was Alcatrante's tool and had
bungled some important commission
1t occurred to Orme that the secret of
the bill might be connected with the
negotiation of big business conces-
sion in Alcatrantes country. IS. R.
Evans" might be trying to get control
of rubber forests or mines-in the
Urinaba mountains, perhaps, after all.
In any event, he felt positive that
the secret of the bill did not right
fully belong to Poritol. If the bill
had been in his possession, he should
have been able to copy the abbrevia-
ted message. Indeed, the lies that he
told were all against the notion of
placing any confidence in him. The
two South Americans were altogether
too eager.
orme decided to go for walk. He
could think better in the open air. He
took up his hat and cane and descend
ed the elevator.

Object to Acoueduct.

New York, Feb. 1O.-At a meeting
today of the State Board of Water
supply, several objections were filed
against tle plan TO build a SIS, 900 ,000
acqueduct under the entire length OF
Manhattan Island to bring water
fro1n the new Catskin acqueduct to
this city.
The State Commission intends to
give the plans careful consideration
instead of approving them after a per
functory hearing, as the Mcclellan
administration hoped.
Plans for this $25, 0OO, 900 a~cqueduct
built at an average of 400 feet be
meath the surface of the street, were
janmed through the old Board of Es-
tinate by Mayor Mcclellan, and every
effort was made to obtain the consent
Of the state Commission before the
present administration took charge.
When the matter came up represen-
~tatiyes of a score of taxpayers or
carnations were On hand to file the
objections which Mayor Mcclellan
would not allow them to present
when the question was before the
Board OF Estimates.
