One day, about week after the
game began, Raoul's heart was badly
hurt and he stopped playing and ut
tered these wild words:
II shan't go to the North Pole!"
Christine, who, in her innocence,
had not dreamed of such a possibil.
ity, suddenly discovered the danger
of the game and reproached herself
bitterly. She did not say word in
reply to Raoul's remark and went
straight home.
This happened IN the afternoon. in

they met every day and where they
amused themselves by dining on three
biscuits. two glasses of port and a
bunch of violets. In the evening. she
did not sing: and he did not receive
his usual letter, though they had ar
ranged to write to each other daily
during that month. The next morn
ing. he ran off to Mamma Valerjus,
who told him that Christine had gone
away for two days. She had left at
five o'clock the day before.
Raoul was distracted. He hated
Mamma Valerius for giving him such
news as that with, such Supplying
calmness. He tried to sound her, but
the old lady obviously knew nothing.
Christine returned on the following
day She returned in triumph. She
renewed her extraordinary success OF
the gala performance. Since the ad.
venture of the toad Carlotta had
not been able to appear on the stage.
The terror of fresh "co-ack" filled
her heart and deprived her of all her
power of singing; and the theater
that had witnessed her Incompetent
sible disgrace had become odious to
her. She contrived to cancel her con-
tract. Daae was offered the vacant
place for the time. She received thun.
ders OF applause in the Juive.
The viscount, who, OF course, was
present. was the only one to suffer
on hearing the thousand echoes Of
this fresh triumph: for Christine still

voice whispered in the young mans
ear:

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and

sing Complaints

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given, except in emergency
cases. Ordinary pills, carthartics and
purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They may cause gripping.

fects that are frequently health.de.
stroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderles as the safest
and most dependable remedy, which
we know, for constipation and associ-
ate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute faith in the virtues of this
remedy that we sell it on our guarantee
of money back in every instance where
it fails tn give entire salts faction, and
we urge all in need of such medicine
to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just like
candy, are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action, may be taken at
any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact, apparently act
ing as regulative tonic upon the re-
xed:muscular coat of the bowel, thus
overcoming weakness, and aiding to
restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly completely
relieve constipation, except of course
when of surgical character. They
also tend to overcome the necessity
of constantly taking laxatives to keep
the bowels in normal condition.
