For three days the little force was beseiged. With them were three ladies who were greatly dis- tressed by the unaccustomed alarm. Thomas Scott went with a, message to Riel suggesting that these ladies Early in December fifty or sixty of these volunteers, poorly equipped and insul’ficiently oflicered, were placed in an unprotected position to guard some Government provxâ€" sions in Dr. Schultz’s building. These buildings were in range of the guns of the fort, and were cut ofi from supplies of wood and water. On December lst, »01 Dennis was entrusted by Macdougall to raise a force of loyalists. and four hundred were enrolled. They had no equip- ment, however, and their numbers soon dwindled ominously. LOYALISTS WITHOUT ARMS On November 3rd. 1869. Riel. at the head of 125 half-breeds. seized Fort Garry without any opposition. He now had 600 men behind him. Meanwhile, the Government at Ottawa. had outlined a. government, and sent Hon. William Macdougall as lieutenant-governor, to establish it. At once the rebels were in arms. On October 26th, 1869, a deâ€" tachment of their men took possesâ€" sion of the highway traffic. At Stinking River a barricade was erected. and no travellers were al- lowed to pass without a pass from their officials. Freight was con- fiscated. Macdougall himself was held up at Pembina and the rebels swore that he should come in only over their dead bodies. Early in 1869 preparations were under way for the transfer of the Hudson Bay territory, including Assiniboia, to the Dominion. The half-breeds became uneasy, and suspected that the country was to be taken from them. Louis Riel, a man with marvellous power to ex- cite and dominate his fellows, fan- ned the flame of sedition, and comâ€" panies of wellâ€"omcered halfâ€"breeds were rapidly formed. In the vivid words of Rev. George Young, an eye witness of the events that ushered in the history of the North-west, the story becomes a living reality. “I can testify to the great merits of your Emul- sion, especially in all diseases of a pulmonary nature.

On January 9th, 1870, ten of the prisoners broke jail, and nine Of them succeeded in getting clear away. On January 23rd, Dr_ Schultz, who had been marked for death, succeeded in eluding the vigilance of the guards. Later, he became Lieutenant Governor. Irritated by these BSCapes, it was determined that someone must die. For along time it was talked about. Scott complained of his treatment. This wasv taken as an insult to an officer, and from that time Scott was doomed. For nine months they were im- prisoned, and their condition be- came pitiable. They were packed in five or six small, soveless, bed- less rooms on the upper flat of a two-storey building. To secure ventilation it was necessary to break the glass in the windows. With the thermometer at thirty be- low zero outside, they were allowed no fire, their food was pemmican of the poorest quality. Dainties sent for the prisoners from outside the fort were snatched away by the rough bandia. guards. MINISTER WAS WATCHED. Rev. George Young was not al- lowed to hold service with all the prisoners together, but accompan- ied by an armed guard he was alâ€" lowed to minister to the prisoners singly. Even when he waited on a sick woman, a rough guard sat upon the bed and watched while he prayed. PROM BONNIE SCOTLAND What is Going On in the Highlands and Lowlands of Auld Scotia.

Finally it was agreed that if the besieged were to abandon what arms they'had, and march to the fort, they should be allowed to go thence where they wished. They consented, but hardly had they enâ€" tered the fort when the gates closed upon them and they realized that they were prisoners. “I beckoned to my son, Capt. G. H.

The first indication was a bad taste in my mouth in the morning, and a sallow complexion Later as these symptoms developed my tongue was heavily coated. especially in the morning, and I felt particularly dull. My appe- tite began to dwindle, and even a light meal left me with a sense of having eaten too much. As I grew. worse I ate barely enough to susm tain my body, but still experienced‘ Lthe most acute pains. A wretched ‘languor came over me which I could not throw off. It seemed as if I were always tired, with but little strength and frequent violent headâ€" aches. The remedies given me by my doctor, as well as many others, failed to restore me, or even to re~ lieve me. I was in this very unhap~ py state for almost a year when 1 read in a newspaper one day of the cure in a, case similar to mine through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This decided me to give these Pills a trial. It was not long before I felt some relief from the distress after meals, and as 1 continued the use of the Pills all languor and drowsiness and head- aches left me and I began to en- joy increased energy and new. strength.

These Pills are not an artificial appetizer nor a stimu- lant.’ They act in nature’s own way by making rich, red blood. This new blood gives vigor to all the or- gans. When it flows through the tiny veins in the stomach it stimu- lates them and creates that crav- ing which people call “appetite.” Then when the appetite is satisfied with food the blood gives the sto- mach strength to digest it. The nourishment is absorbed by the blood, and carried to every organ in the body.
