"He might do that if he wanted to
get rid of us. But we are nothing to
him: so we have nothing to fear"
"Suppose he should find cut who
we are and why we are here z"
"Who would tell him? No one
knows why we have come here. We
don't know vet that this Smith is Ca
lesse's accomplice. He may be merely
an acquaintance; but then, on the
other hand, they may belong to a
gang of crooks who operate between
India. London and Paris. If this is
the case, it is here we shall solve the
mystery. If we want to get friendly
with Smith, we must make up our
minds to lose some money, and fair
sum at that. Are you willing to do

"How much do you think? ?"
Give thousand apiece will do. We
will place it with him; but we may
make up our minds in advance that
we shall never see it again"
The next day was scorching. There
was not a breath of air. Few people
in Calcutta cared to brave the torrid
heat; but Jacques was all eagerness
to see John j. Smith and have talk
with him. Five minutes before, from
the windows of their hotel they had
seen him pass down the street.

saw Mr.. Harcourt. He was lying on
a lounge, his head covered with wet
cloth. A small colored boy kept off
the flies with large fan. Some iced
drinks stood on a table near by.
"You mean to say that you are
going out in this heat" he cried,
when he caught sight of the two
friends leaving the hotel.
Business" said Jacques laconi-
cally.
"No one does business in Calcutta
at this hour"
Excepting ourselves"
A quarter of an hour later they
reached the building where John j.
Smith e. Co. had their offices. They
went up to the second floor and found
the name on a brass plate. In the
various offices there were no signs OF
life. The doors were all open; but
only porter or an office boy was left
in charge.
1t was the same in Smith e. Co.'S
office. In the first room, where there
was only a desk and a chair, they
found an office hoy fast asleep.
eff Smith is in his office at this
hour. it is evidently something inter
esting that takes him there" said
Merseins. From the looks. it seems
that he is the only man about here
who works"
They took care not to wake the
office boy; they crossed a passage:
then passed through to Offices, and
stood before a door bearing the
words:

ADVISED HIM TO GET BUSY
Laborer Resented Interest Shown by
Statesman as to the Farmers
Prospective Crop.

The earl of Aberdeen lord lieuten-
ant, whom Mr.. Ben Tillett suggests
hanging, is one OF the mildest-man-
nered and most kindly of men.
He takes a great interest in agricu[
ture, and one evening, while taking
a walk in a country district, he paused
to watch laboring man at work in
his little garden.
Leaning over the fence, his lord
ship asked: ''Is this good soil?"
Aye" said the laborer dryly.
Several other questions were an
swered in the same laconic way, the
laborer digging busily all the time.
Finally, Lord Aberdeen asked: What
is your next crop to be-"
The laborer paused in his work and
looked at his questioner severely.
See here, my mamie" he re-
marked, Il dinna suppose you ken
cnything ABBOTT crops. Just you get

To allay itching and irritation Of the

beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree

parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the

Fortunate is the one who can eat
anything" without suffering the tor
lures of dyspepsia, but as few are SO
fortunate, care should be taken in the
matter of diet Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal or
the day will do much towards assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
to know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these common-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take mild
digestive tonic with laxative proper
ties, and there is none better than DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains
the greatest of all aids to digestion,
good pepsin. 1t has other ingredients
that act mildly on the bowels, which
together form a combination for the
relief Of dyspepsia or indigestion that.
is unsurpassed.
It's action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so
that they can again do their work nat
urally without outside aid, and when
that happy moment comes all medi-
cine can be dispensed with. 1t is the
best remedy obtainable for any dis

NOT A MIRACLE

There arr some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.
Il used to be a great coffee drinker,
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak

hour at time.
MY friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. ] would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor. who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then l have
had but few OF those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. now drink moth
