excitement
Her thoughts kept returning to
the evening before-to the dinner
with Jake-the momesnt when his
hand has pressed her palm against
the table, his eyes pouring fire into
hers. 1t caught her with a little
pang of curious terror.
In the midst of her work her
mind drifted off into a dreamy
speculation. She wondered with a
touch Of pathos about herself-her
future. Was some one magnificent,
rich, happy-hearted waiting for her?
Just around the corner might she
one day come face to face with this
tremendous and glorious love?
And did this Jake, who seemed
so kind, so e~xuberantly satisfied
with life, really have cruel. vicious
thoughts against her? No-she
wouldn't believe that-yet there ran
through all her musings a dark,
tight thread Of half frightened sus-
pense. He was a problem. She
wondered how she should act; what
she should say.

turned his eyes searchingly into her

LII she had a wish that required
like some soft drowsy perfume drift
ing in her face-a wish to lean back
against his shoulder-to close her
eyes dreamily. She would have been
glad to let him sleep against her
arm-let her fingers loiter on his
face.
He read on and on. He stopped
over his favorites and sometimes
quoted whole stanzas, asking her
opinion. She gave it with a grand,
princess air, hoping eagerly she
said the right thing.
Finally he closed the book. Some
things are awfully hard on the lips,
Chickie." He pulled her to her feet.
The sun was caught in a great
black splash of clouds. He put his
arm about her waist, whispered
softly in her ear. "Ah, It's a beau

me here-like to walk on and on
and hate to walk back?"
He looked down at her and
laughed. She felt his heart thump-
ing-a deadly stiffness in her own.
An impulse that suddenly charged
over her like a rush of hot tears
made her turn-made her reach out
her hand to him.
He caught it. He said with a
gasp. "Chickie! Oh. you darling"
She stood there and let his aims
sweep about her. She raised her
face. She said mo" But she

His face was white. He turned
her hands upward and kissed them
He said, GREATNESS, looking into her
face: "Chickie, you're beautiful.
You are.'
She wished the world would end
then-too sweet to bear. They
walked down the hill silent.
Afterwards it frightened her. She
lay awake. clasping her hands hard
against her heart. She said to her

It's because you know you have

her. Instinctively she stiffened. He

What Appealed to Him

Mr.. James Caldwell, formerly dep
uty of the British house of commons,
who died In London recently, was a
privy councillor and held other high
honors; but he was above all things
n Scot. On one occasion during the
later eighties he attended n of those
typically Victorian functions, n gar
den party at Windsor castle. Driving
back to London with another NJ. F.,
the latter observed to the then young
and enthusiastic Glaswegian: Marvel

$4,000 MINERS LOOT
AND BURN PROPERTY
and More on Way to
Scene Of Strike

Sydney, N. S.-Incendiarism and
looting attending the strike of 1900
miners has broken out with renewed
vigor despite the presence of more
than 500 dominion troops and special
miners police.
The Bankhead screen of the unused
Hub colliery at New Aberdeen was de-
stroyed by fire. Barbed wire entangle-
ments had been thrown about the
property, searchlights were playing
and troopers were on guard through
out the night. How persons that set
the fire crept through the lines could
not be explained.
At Reserve, homes of two former
employees of the company were burn
ed down, the flames spreading rapidly
to an empty powder magazine and
carpenter shop before being brought
under control.
Retail stores owned by private indi-
viduals at Bras dor and Florence
were looted by mobs of several hun
drer miners. The mines give the
appearance of armed camps. More
troops are reported on the way from
Ottawa and Toronto, including de-
tachments of the Royal Dragons.

it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says: Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation. the success of DR..
