Red Blood and Courage f!
(BY DIR. W. c. LUCAS. }

What drives the men right up to the
trenches in this war is courage, and it's
red blood that Euts the heart in the
men. Did any one ever see a puny, thin
blooded man ever rush into the fight with
any chance of winning out ? With rich,
pure blood Won can face any hardship,
reach any goal But you are handi-
capped in the race OF life without it.
Every tissue, bone, muscle, should take
from the blood certain materials and
return To il certain others. When the
poisons accumulate in the blood, perhaps
the face breaks out in pimples, or boils
appear on the neck, and we feel languid.
tired, our vitality is at low ebb, and
we easily catch cold.
It's time TO take an Alternative extract
and blood-puritier, taken from Natures
forests. Such a one Is made up of
Golden Seal, Blood and Stone root,
oregon Grape and Queens root - x-
tracted with glycerine ard made into
sugar-coated tablets or liquid, and this
has been sold by druggists for the past
fifty years as Doctor Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery.

lions Of Years.

The disposed and malodorous cock
roach Is one of the most remarkable
of living things. According TO Or. l.,
o. Howard, chief Of the bureau of en-
tomoogy, it has existed in It's present
form ever since the Archaen age, bill

During that time whole faunas have
lived and died Man Is newcomer

This shows that this insect is a

the only form OF life which man has
not conquered and are for that reason
his most dangerous enemies IN the

The chief sent for BOroday early the
next morning
"You've turned the trick all right"
he said, grimly smiling.
Boroday, as immaculate as ever, set.
tied his tie.
"Yes?"
"Sit down." said the chief. NOW
that you know you're going, suppose
you're not in any particular hurry
Boroday ran his hand over his silky
beard.
II should like to get to barber"
"There is no great hurry. now said
the chief, when Borodny was comfort
ably settled and smoking one Of his
eternal Russian cigarettes, Il wish you
would tell me why you disposed of
that pearl the way you did. 1t wasn't
quite up to our agreement, you know.
1t was to be given to me and | was to
return it. Instead of that | had to
make a wild-goose chase out into the
country"
"Ah.' said Boroday, into the coun-
try"
The chief, who was accustomed to
reading faces,watched Boroday closely.
But If there was tightening about the
Russians eyes, 1t was very faint
"You know blamed WE'LL" said the
chief peevishly, "just where I had to
go to get that thing. And you know
blamed well also that on Sunday after
noon I always play poker. 1t was
well, nconsiderate, to say the least"
Boroday smiled.
II am exceedingly sorry that you
were put to any trouble about It," he
/ said. "But as you may understand,
have not yet seen my-friends, and of
course"
He shrugged his shoulders. The chief
was skeptical of his ignorance, never
the less. He humored what he chose
to consider Boroday's within. First he
gave him the note which he had re-
ceived by special delivery the day be-
fore. Quick as he was, the Russian
could not quite conceal his astonsh-
ment.
'ln the aims box" said the chief
Somebody with a sense of humor had
charge of this little affair. Bryant Is
senior warden, it seems, in this church
1t was clever"
Boroday passed the letter back to
him.
81 shall tell my confreres. 1t is quite
original"
The chief was smoking large cigar.
Unlike the police chief of fiction and
the drama. he did not speak around
the cigar but carefully removed 1t, not
out of respect to his visitor but out of
Difference to Il good cigar. Now he
leaned toward Boroday.
Either he said slowly, ut was
clever. or 1t was necessary"
But the Russian had himself well In
hand. He only smiled.

he went down the garden steps and
into the road.
"Strange things in this housed" she
mumbled. shaking her head. "Preach-
ers coming and going at all hours, and
Elinor in church this morning.
Strange things, Hilary Kingston, since
you went away"
She shuflled along the terrace and
into the house, her thin black shawl
drawn about her shoulders. In the
library Elinor lay face down on the
floor. Old Henriette bent over her.
MY lamb, my pet" she soothed her.
Hes a fine man, but there are many
others. And when one is young and
lovely"
Since Elinor made no response but
only moaned, old Henriette rose from
her knees and shuffied out of the room,
but cautiously, as she passed, she took
from table drawer old Hllarys re-
volver and carried it out under her
shawl.
She was very wise, was wrinkled
Henriette, and she knew the Kingston
blood.
Ward came down the road rapidly.
There was a faint moon. One part Of
his mind had ceased to work; his high
er faculties were dormant with mis-
cry, with the anesthesia that comes
for time after great grief or shock.
Physically he was entirely alert; his
keen eyes searched each clump Of
shrubbery before he reached it. Not
that he feared attack for himself; his
cup of life was bitter to his taste that
night, but he carried trust in his
pockets, that he would deliver.
Huff was waiting at the foot Of the
Kingston place, crouched behind a
wall. If the boy had been jealous be-
fore, he was maddened now. Ward
had been with Elinor. Huff, coming
up the hill had heard his short good
night to Henrlette in the garden, had
heard him come down the HILL There
were only two explanations. Either the
man was in love with her and had
gone up that night Of his own volition,
or Elinor had sent for him. One was
as bad as the other.
Ward did not have chance. AS
he came abreast Of the wall, the boy
fred and he pitched forward on his
face. With the re-echoing Of the shot
among the hills, Huffs madness died
away. Murder was not his game; VIC
lent and sudden death perhaps, but
never, before. shot from behind. Had
the wealth of city been in Wards
pockets. he could not have touched It..
He thrust his revolver into his
pocket. and breaking away through
the shrubbery commenced swift but
noiseless ascent Of the hill.

Elinor said slowly.
Ward released her. and turning took
slow survey Of the room.

said.

"Go on. What did he suspect"
"That but that doesn't matter.
He burned the parish house and
planned all this. Tonight he meant
to get the money from you, and Twas
desperate. I could think Of no other
way"
Wards faith In her was slow to die.
He took step toward her, his hands
out, then dropped them at his sides.
"Then-the night the parish house
burned, when came down In the dawn
and found you sitting there"-he
clenched his hands-'all the time you
knew. You knew! And I had

He went to the table and. opening
the box, slipped the notes and money
1t contained into his pocket Then he
buttoned his coat about him. Elinor

cat last there was stir among the
people in the hall, and we all rose
expectantly," writes George P. Lud-
lam in st. Nicholas. "Then, walking
with a firm tread beside Lieut.. de
Tessan, clad in a blue uniform, with
his familiar red and gold cap, came
Marshal Joffre.
Threading his way through the
crowd with a dignified step, he made
his way to the room in which we
were. Although well along in years,
the marshal is still hale and hearty.
He was introduced to all the other
guests and finally he came to me.
For an instant the famous generals
kindly face and keen eyes looked into
mine; then I bowed slightly, took his
hand and murmured: Bon jour,
Monsieur lie Marechal.' He said some
thing in reply-I never knew what

young man filled his little chest, pass

voica which could have been heard to
Third avenue; 'B-hon jour, Monsieur

petit bouquet de moi?'
The marshal's face broke into a
smile as he stopped down, kissed him
on the forehead and answered.:
'Merci, mon petit enfant! and all the
other guests laughed with him.
"Then he took the flowers and,
nodding to us, went out with the Of

actually shaken hands with the IA
