MOTHERS NOTIONS Good for Young People to Follow

My little grandson often comes up to show me how large the muscles of his arms are.
 He was a delicate child. but has developed into a strong. healthy boy and Postum has been the principal factor.
 T was induced to give him the Postum because of my own experience with it,
 "I am sixty years old and have been victim of nervous dyspepsia for many years. Have tried all sorts of medicines and had treatment from many physicians. but no permanent re- lief came. l believe nervous dyspeptics suffer more than other sick people. as they are affected mentally as well as physically,
 'I used to read the Postum adver- tisements in our paper At first I gave but little attention to them. thinking it was fraud like so many I had tried. but finally something in one of the advertisements made me conclude to try it.
 T was very particular to- have it prepared strictly according to direc- tions. and used good, rich cream. It was very nice indeed. and about bed- time 1 said to the members of the fam fly that 1 believed felt better. One of them laughed and said. That's another of mothers notions.' but the notion has not left me yet
 "I continued to improve right along after leaving off coffee and taking Postum, and now after three years use I feel so well that l am almost young again. 1 know Postum was the cause of the change in my health and can not say too much in its favor. I wish could persuade all nervous people to use it.''

Reflling his pipe and leaving trail

Refilling his pipe and leaving trail
of smoke behind him he set out boldly
for st. James. When he came to the
three graves he stopped, remember
ing that Obadiah had said they were
his graves. A sort of grim horror be-
gan to stir at his soul as he gazed on
the grass-grown mounds-proOfs that
the old councillor would inherit place
in the Mormon heaven, having obeyed
the injunctions of his prophet on
earth. Nathaniel now understood the
meaning of his words of the night be-
fore. This was the family burying
ground of the old councillor
He walked on, trying in vain to con-
centrate his mind solely upon the
business that was ahead of him. 4
few days before he would have count
ed this walk to st. James one of the
events of his life. Now it had lost it's
fascination. Despite his efforts to de-
stroy the vision Of the beautiful face
that had looked at him through the
kings window it's memory still haunt
ed him. The eyes, soft with appeal;
the red mouth, quivering, and with
lips parted as if about to speak to
him; the bowed head with it's tum-
bled glory of hair-all had burned
themselves upon his soul in a picture
too deep to be eradicated If st.
James was interesting now it was be-
cause that face was part of it, be-
cause the secret of it's life, of the
misery that it had confessed to him,
was hidden somewhere down there
among it's scattered log homes.
Slowly he made his way down the
slope in the direction of Strangs cas-
tie, the tower of which, surmounted
by its great beacon, glistened in the
morning sun. He would find Strang
there. And there would be one chance
in thousand of seeing the girl-if
Obadiah had spoken the truth. AS he
passed down he met men and boys
coming up the slope and others NOV
ing along at the bottom Of it, all GO
ing toward the interior of the island.
They had shovels or rakes or hoes
upon their shoulders and he guessed
that the Mormon fields were in that
direction; others bore axes; and now
and then wagons, many of them drawn
by oxen, left the town over the road
that ran near the shore Of the lake.
Those whom he met stared at him
curiously, much interested evidently
in the appearance of a stranger. Ma
thaniel paid but small heed to them.

AS he entered the grove through
which the councillor had guided him
the night before his eagerness be-
came almost excitement. He ap-
preached the great log house swiftly
but cautiously, keeping as much from
view as possible. AS he came under
the window through which he had
looked upon the king and his wives
his heart leaped with anticipation,
with hope that was strangely mingled
with fear For only a moment he
paused to listen, and Notwithstanding
the seriousness Of his position he
could not rcpress a smile as there
came to his ears the crying of chill
dren and the high angry voice of a
woman. He passed around to the
front of the house. The door of
Strang's castle was wide open and I'M
guarded. No one had seen his ap-
prOach; no one accOsted him as he
mounted the low steps; there was no
one in the room into which he gazed
a moment later. 1t was the great hall
into which he had spied a few hours
previous. There was the long table
whose light had bathed the girls
head in halo of glory, the very chair
in which he had found her sitting!
He was conscious of a throbbing in
his breast, longing to call out-if he
only knew her name.
Tn hn closed
doors and it was from beyond these
that there came to him the wailing of
children. A fifth door was open and
through it he saw a cradle gently
rocking. Here at last was visible life,
or motion at least, and he knocked
loudly. Very gradually the cradle
ceased its movement Then it stopped,
and woman came out into the larger
room. In a moment Nathaniel recog-
nized her as the one who had placed
a caressing hand upon the bowed
head of the sobbing girl the night be-
fore. Her face was Of pathetic beau
ty It's whiteness was startling. Her
eyes shone With an unhealthy luster,
and her dark hair, falling in heavy
curls over her shoulder, added to the
wonderful pallor of her cheeks.
Nathaniel bowed. Il beg your par
don, madam; l came to see Mr..
Strang," he said.
"You will find the king at his Of
fce," she replied.
The woman's voice was low, but so
sweet that it was like music to the
ear. AS she spoke she came nearer
and a faint flush appeared in the
transparency of her cheek.
why do you wish to see the king? 7"
