to see you!" Lillian said, as she drew me to a chair, and in her old. loving, deft fashion removed my hat and coat.
 "Is Robcrt-ro-hetter?" l asked fearfully.
 "Physically, yes" she answered, although his progress is slow, and he is terribly weak But mentally oh, Madge-I wonder sometimes
 She paused. struggled bravely for composurc, gave it up, put her head against my shoulder, while hard, stranglins sobs tore from her throat
 '.There." she said harshly few mo- ments later "I knew I'd do this if YOU ever came near me. What is il about you anyway that makes me do the baby act whenever I'm in trouble and you come anywhere near me e'
 Because it isn't in human nature to face everythintg as bravely and composedly as you do," I said quietly. You simply have to break sometime, and I'm very proud and thankful that I am near enough to you for you to come to me for the little comfort l can give you."
 '"The little comfort" she repeated scornfully. Child, you haven't any idea of what your loving comfort means to me. You always understand so. without my having to explain all over the place. And if anybody. else but you saw me making an idiot of myself this way--well--I think there'd q be a double job for the nearest under taker.
 EBut that's enough of me-" she went on brusquely "You're looking sort of groggy yourself Whats the an swer-that principals wife you told me about?"
 I started with surprise. My fathers affairs had so engrossed my mind that for days I had forgotten all about the terror with which Milly stock bridge had inspired me upon the night of her reception.
 Tt isn't she that's troubling me-" I answered quickly, though awkward ly.
 "Although she's raising Cain lit tie more than usual" Lillian com mented shrewdly. Well we'll dis miss her for the present and take her case up later. Whats the real trouble? 1 hope it's some trouble , about which I can do something. 1 think I shall go stark staring mad if I don't have som ething to take my mind off things. Work doesn't help me a bit any more.'
 Is Lillian Right? Y 'Tf you cannot help mo, no one in I the world can,'' 1 answered, and was { rewarded by seeing a look of interest ! flash into her strained face. i GO ahead, and talk slowly she , replied, settling herself into an attl- i tude of attentive listening. I began at my fathers enthusiasm over our outing together, and re- ' viewed the whole series of incidents : which had so impressed themselves upon my mind. Lillian didn't inter- rupt me with a single question until
 I had finished. Then for several min
 utes later she sat motionless, her chin
 in her cupped hands. Then she lifted
 her head, looked at me steadily. "A ghost from the past" she re- peated. ''Madge, dear, pardon me for raking up unpleasant things, but you , told me once your mothers unhappy history. DO you know whether that
 woman for whom your father deserted
 her is living or dead?'

When success has been achieved IN
hundreds of cases just as hopeless
this, 1t seems unwise for any victim to
deny himself trial of Milks Emulsion.
It can do no harm in any case. And
1t costs nothing to try.
Milks Emulsion Is a pleasant, nutri-
tive food and a corrective medicine. 1t
restores healthy natural bowel action.
doing away with all need Of pills and
physics. It promotes appetite and
quickly puts the digestive organs in
of flesh and strength. Milks Emulsion
| Is strongly recommended to rundown
nervous people, and IL has produced
amazing results in many cases of tu-
berculosis of the lungs. Chronic stom-
| ach trouble and constipation are
promptly relieved-usually in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made.
and SO palatable that it is eaten with
a spoon like ice cream. A truly won

No matter how severe your case, you

stores and tailor shops. This is the
consensus of opinion as expressed by
merchants everywhere. Old things are
to become new; our faces are toward
the future, which seems alight with
hope and prophetic of nationwide
prosperity.
But there is no indication of get
ting back to old or so called normal
prices or wages" It takes a long time
for price adjustment, after any war
or in any country. We had a dozen
years of high prices after the close
of the Civil War and who will say
these were not busy and prosperous
years, as compared with those just
preceding the outbreak of hostilities.
No More American Panics.
High prices are never panic prices;
far different indeed Men do not go
into bankruptcy on rising market
which calls for no sacrifice of profits,
no "slaughtering" of prices to realize
a few dollars But with reference to
panics, we are inclined to the belief
that many of these in our history
were engineered" and once started

interests responsible for their incep-

on the brakes. The regulation Of
our currency problems, and the insti-
tuition of the Federal Reserve Bank,
have stabilized finances. Neither
Wall street nor any other influence
can ever cause another Black Friday

lions ever violently affect American

The Worlds Stock of Woods.
A final revision of the wool census
| that on April / there were 1885, 346
of New Zealand woods ready for ship
| ment. 1t is expected that 5000
bales will be shipped monthly from
these countries and at the time of the
census there were many thousands OF
bales afoat- Added to these stocks
of old woods and also shortly to be
!! available comes the new clip, estimat-
ed at two million bales for Australian
! and 100000 for New Zealand. This
gives US a total of 100000 bales
| from these two countries alone, on
which to draw as needed. Ninety
days ago our own government had in
! excess of 100000 millions of pounds tc
sell US and some Of this has not yet
/ been disposed of. Government stocks
were weight on the market fol
months and checked buying opera
| tons, because it was not known al
what prices the government would
be content to sell; what would be the
established as acceptable on the va
rious kinds and grades. The buying
