"Yet surely, surely there were times when you were more than civil to Sir John,” says Gretchen, doubtfully. "Were there? I don’t know; I think not. Did I ever flirt. with him?

There was never the \faintest: sentimental feeling between us, though people would think so. To be candid with you, he would not have suited me at all. You will sée I am speaking the truth.

Of course I forgot you could‘not know; yet he is three weeks old." "Sir‘John knows nothing of it?” “Nothing. She will not let me tell him of it; indeed, up to this I have had no chanCe of telling him, as I have not known Where he is.” "Why not put the birth in the papers "That is wrong, surely,” says Fancy, hastily. "Forgive me. I am not one to preach, I know, but I cannot help thinking a father should be made aware of his child’s birth.” "I quite agree with you; yet I am fettered by my promise; and besides, believing all I did believe until your visit here toâ€"day, I hardly cared to let him know of the little one. And now what am I to do, if she still holds me to my word?" "IJo nothing," says Fancy, rising impulsively to her feet, with rose- flushed checks and gleaming eyes. "I don't, care about violating oaths; I don’t indeed. There is no use ‘in apâ€" pealing to me.

ARE A CRY OF THE NERVES FOR BETTER BLOOD. A high medical authority has de fined neuralgia as "a cry of the nerves for better blood,” and to ef~ |fectually drive it from the. system the blood must be made rich, red and pure. For this purpose there is no other medicine so prompt and sure in result as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These pills make new, rich, red blood with every dose, and ini- part new life and new vigor to the person using them. Mr. John Mc- .'Dcr1nott. Bond Head. Ont., oflcrs strong proof of the certain results obtained from the use of Dr. .Wil- liams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind. He says: "A few years ago while workiii’g as a carpenter in Buf- falo I got wet. I (lid not think it worth while changing my clothes at the time, but I soon began to suf< fer for my neglect. I awoke next morning with cramps and pains rthroughout my body. I was unable :to go to work and called in a. doc- tor. who left me some medicine. ] luscd it faithfully for some time, but it did not help me.- In fact I was growing steadily worse and had be- come so reduced in flesh that I weighed only 138 pounds. As I was not able to work I returned to my home at Bond Head. Here I placed myself under the care of a. local doc- tor who said the trouble was neu- ralgia, which had taken a. thor- ough hold upon my entire system. Misfortune seemed to follow me f0] the doctor’s treatment did not help ‘me. and I think my ndighbors at least did not think I was going to get better. I had often heard and read of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and in this emergency I determined ta try them. I had not used more than three boxes before I felt that the pills were helping me. From that on I gained day by day, and after I had USud some ten or twelw boxes, I had fully recovered my old‘ time strength, and have since been able to work at my trade as car- penter Without any trouble. I havc no pains or aches, and I now weigh 156 pounds. I think Dr. Will'iams‘ Pink Pills an invaluable medicint and shall always have a good word to say for them."

FOOD The Most Concentrated and Easi- ly Digested. The changes of the tissue in the brain that take place during study and thought are very important ard very rapid; it has been estimated that three hours of brain work causes,as great an exhaustion of the forces of the body as an entire day of manual labor. This waste must be replaced by abundant food, but its selection requires careful con- sideration and often selfâ€"denial, for many things which the physical Worker can eat with perfect, imâ€" punity are slow poison to the brain Worker, who exercises the brain at the expense of the body, and rarely gives the latter sufficient exercise to counteract the mental strain and keep it in condition to resist (li- sease.
