Mead jackson is a colored man.
IN fact he is decidedly colored. He
is an interesting individual but no
one would imagine it unless by
chance he tried out the Jackson man

the old building is torn down will be

that IS necessary to carrying out the

frigidly as was consistent with po.

county blood, were strangers in
Yeoshire. They had not, like the
Umfravilles, held their position from
time immemorial. Miss Wilmot's
grandfather, General Wilmot, bought
small place, known as Swan Weir,
adjoining the Umfraville estate. He
was under the impression that the
Swan Weir meadow, and the fish

through it, were included in his pur-
chase. Old Sir James, the great
uncle of Sir Miles, maintained that
this was not so, and there was a
great deal of quarreling and going
to law about it,

"Of course it does,' said Jem.

Baldwin would be glad to rent it."

at the door; and Miss Tarlton's
nervous tremors were allayed when
Sir Miles offered her his arm. though

would be so, since Jem must take

with psychological interest: broken

the sonorous voice of Brooke, the

had been essential to frighten him

plunging into agricultural questions
with the two young men, but Laura
had told hint had been almost her
last injunction-that before dinner
he must talk to his hostess: and
as he stood stiffly upright before
the sofa whereon sat Mrs. Bards-
ley and the great Sophia, his en-
! barrassment was very obvious.
I'VE feel ourselves lucky to have
persuaded you out, Mr.. Trent" said
Aunt Emma cheerfully. Mrs. Trent
says you are fond of your own fire
side as a rule"
Dan laughed uncomfortably. His
innate honesty told him that this
was his first chance to leave his
fireside for any other at which his
wife would have consented to sit.
But he knew that Laura's keenness
to come was only equalled by her
desire to hide the fact, so he fun
bled a good deal over his reply be-

being a bit lonely, at Barrow End,

to London and plenty of society.
Sophia's lip curled. Society indeed,
She knew very accurately what So

years had passed since the woman
seated before her forfeited her place
in it. She was sure that this was
not a parvenue, but a declassee-a
thing more deadly. because there
was some concealed story to be reck-
oned with.
Dan turned forlornny to Vernon, a
hesitating smile upon his face.
Well" he said, that was a queer
trip you took, wasn't it? What did
your aunt think of you, alone on

"Ay, Jem brought back more than

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently terrni-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, etc, to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not a skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets a firmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t
