CHAPTER /.
Just a Hint Of Scandal.

Georgy Wagstad sauntered into Miss
Ethel Wllloughby's sitting room, at
tired IN the dalntiest and fullest Of
summer costumes. Georgy was the
daughter Of Sir George Wagstaf Of
the British admiralty. She found the
room deserted, except for her fathers
admirable butler, who was at the mo
ment in the act of placing a tea-tray
upon Miss Willoughbys table.
"Oh. Brewster-is Miss Willoughby
inf" she inquired.
The correct Brewster Immediately
Strengthened himself up in his best
manner.
"No, miss! think not" he replied,
Georgy strolled to the window
81 dare say Ethel'll he here directly"
she said-to herself as much as to the
butler "Ill wait"
"Yes. miss" Brewster acquiesced.
And with n bow of the utmost cor
rectness he went out, closing the doors
softly behind him.
Georgy WaCstaff stood idly looking
out of the window upon the view of
the Thames. 1t was an August after
noon and the river shimmered allur-
ingly I'm the slanting sunlight. But
Ethel had asked her to meet few
friends: and Georgy was fond enough
of Miss Willoughby not to be repent
ant for having foregone the delights
of a perfect summer evening out of
doors. As she stood there in the win
dow her governess entered.
"Oh! Hello, GeOrgy! Am | late or
are you early?" Miss Willoughby called
as she saw that one of her guests was
already waiting.
"Bothr' said GeOrgy with a smile.
81 did want two minutes with you be-
fore the others came. May l bother
you now?"
"Of coursew the older girl replied.
"But it's no bother" she assured her.
She sat down on one end Of a long
settee and began to remove her gloves;
whereupOn her younger charge perched
herself at the other end of the seat

and regarded her admiringly. Miss
Willoughby's fair hair had just the
hint of red in it that was at the same
time Georgy's despair and delight.
And Ethel was far enough past the
schoolgirl age to have lost that angu-
larity which Georgy still possessed
and loathed. AS for cOloring, they
both showed the healthy glow which
is the distinguishing mark of young
Englishwomen of the upper class
"You see," said Georgy, I'm afraid
I'm going to be awfully presumptu-
GUS"
"Nonsensen' Ethel interrupted. "You
couldn't be that when you and your
father have been so very good TO me.
Come on Out with it,
If was true that Ethel Willoughby
felt that she was deeply in the debt
of the Wagstaffs-both father and
daughter. Before entering their house
hold as Georgy's gOverness she had
known them upon a footing of social
equality But fortune had frowned
upon her. And when circumstances
had become most pressing Sir George
had come to her relief with the pro-
posal that she undertake the guidance
of his somewhat difficult daughter. 1t
was not that Georgy was greatly diff
ferent from other girls of the impress
sionable age But Sir Georges public
duties left him little time to devote to
the upbringing of his motherless child,
And it had struck him that Ethel
Willoughby was a person who at the
same time would be able to sympathlze
with Georgy's impulses and direct
them into the proper channels.
"Whats on your mind, GeorgyT"
Miss Willoughby asked again, as the
girl still hesltated.

WHY WOMEN

To Lydia E. Pinkhsm Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask "Ars

Medicine Co. are continually publishing,

"Why do women write such letters "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the wonian
who wrote L.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters 10 the Lydia K. Pink
ham Medicine Co. Is that Lydia E. Pink
ham Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some OF
the worst forms Of female ills, from dis-
placements inflammation, liberation

Persistent Canada Thistle.

The cause Of the remarkable vitality
Of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes it from other prickly
plants that are commonly mistaken for
it is the long. cordlike perennial root.
This root penetrates the soil to depth
OF eight to fifteen inches or more and
gives rise at frequent intervals to leafy
shoots. Thus it will often be found
that an entire patch of thistles is at.
tached to one root and is in reality
but one plant. The root is exceedingly
hardy and can live over winter OF
through prolonged drought in dor.
mant condition. Pieces of the root
that are broken off by plow or cult
vator and carried to other places will
await warm, moist period and then
begin to send up leafy shoots, thus es.
tablishing new patch forthwith. Ii
the leafy stems are cut down, others
will be sent up to take their place and
this process may beaepeated from two
to eight times before the root becomes
exhausted.

REWARD FOR Mr.. wALRus.

This Winter" said Daddy. "a Wal
rus was the Iceman in a Zoo.
1T was this way The Keeper had
noticed that whenever the Walrus'
pond became frozen over on cold, cold
nights he was just as happy as happy
could be. He would chop up the ice with
his sharp tusks-for the Walrus has
his icepick always with him! Then he
would leave a clear, open space and
down he would dive into his pond and
have lovely icy swim.
THE Walrus loved it nice and cold
and how he did love the cold water.
"Of course, at first, he simply
chopped up the ice because he loved
the feeling of working with such a
cold substance as ice. But his main
object was to get under the water and
have good cold path.
When the Keeper noticed that that
was what the Walrus seemed to want
more than anything, he had the regu-
lar Iceman of the Zoo pick up all the
pieces of ice as fast as the Walrus

TORPEDO WILL FOLLOW SHIP
Magnetic Torpedo Is Latest Invention
of Young Observation-Disclosures by
Mass of Metal.

The inventive mind of young Amer
lea has become proverbial. It's latest
invention, and one in which belliger-
ent Europe il greatly interested. is a
magnetic torpedo which is attracted
by any great mass of metal, SO that
when it approaches the ship which is
its target it will turn and follow the
unfortunate vessel in spite of all at
tempts to dodge 1t. This apparent hyp-
notism is caused by two wire magnetic
coils four inches in diameter which
are attached to two nickel arms pro-
jecting at right angles from the sides
OF the torpedo. The presence of any
large mass of metal affects the cur
rent passing thro Ugh these coils, which
in turn affects the motor controlling
the rudder, so tlat the torpedo will
continually turn toward it's target, no
matter how oft IN 1t may dodge

Need for True Christians.

You are a witness for Christianity
and yet you priests of God can lead
no man nearer God than you have
reached; you can teach him no more
than you have experienced, than YOU
have believed. / have never had q
priest come to me and say, Send me
where l won't be known so long as
IAN make God known" Few priests
nave a passion for witnessing for
Christ as an artist has passion for
painting, musician for music. Un.
til Christianity has the best of our
love and the best of our lives it can
not be effective against the passions
which characterize this age.-Bishop

would break them up. These would
go into the Zoo icehouse all ready for
the hot days of the Summer.
When the Walrus saw that he was
doing some real work, and that as
soon as he chopped up the ice it was
taken away, he was delighted. For,
you see, he was very fond of his good,
kind Keeper, and he thought it fine
thing to be regular business Man
or business Walrus-and work hard
each day. He enjoyed his swims more
and more because he felt he was do
ing some daily work
and the Keeper was delighted and
said many very kind and flattering
things to the Walrus. which pleased
him more than l can tell you.
But alas All too soon for Mr.. Wal
rus came the warm spring days. The
Keeper could not think of anything else
for Mr.. Walrus to do, and Mr.. Walrus
felt very sad that all the ice had gone
away and that he couldn't chop any
more.
THE Keeper really felt very badly
that he had let Mr.. Walrus do so much
work and had nothing now for him to
do. But the Queen of the Fairies
came along. and whispered to the
Keeper a fine scheme as a reward for
Mr. Walrus-she whispered this when
the Keeper was thinking very hard
one day about the Walrus.
This is what she whispered to him
Mr.. Keeper, go to the icehouse
everyday and pick out a nice big piece
of ice for Mr.. Walrus. Then have it
carried over to his pond, and when you
give it to him tell him it is his reward
for working so hard all Winter and it
is to cool his water-not to chop up.
well, the Keeper did as the Fairy
Queen had suggested. At first the
Walrus did chop up the ice-although
1t was such small piece to chop up
he did seem little surprised when
it was put in his pond. Then he wait
ed for 1t to be taken away, but instead,
Lhe Keeper came and told him to play
with it himself.
After a few days the Walrus I'M
derstood it was IL for him, because it
was some of the ice he had chopped
in the Winter.
$50 every Gay when the ice would
come he would be so joyful. He would
take rest on the piece of ice first
for he thought it a lovely, cool sort of
chair-and then he would dive down
into the cold water And the Fairy
Queen was so pleased that the Walrus
was getting a good reward for his
Winters work"

Bibles ON Match Chains.

The deyout OF all lands have their
own particular way of giving outward
demonstration to their piety. In Rus
STA it frequently takes the form of
wearing miniature Bibles as charms
on the watch chain. They are got up
in attractive form about an inch
square and three-eighths Of an inch
in thickness, and they contain five
books of Moses. The text of the book
is in Hebrew and the titles in Latin.
1t is true that the book could not be
read without the aid of a powerful
magnifying glass, but that does not
trouble the Russian. He places his
great reliance on the fact that he car
ries the Word" on his person.
