/ Formulae Ha^^^e Been Well Tried Out Though the NA-DRU-CO line of Medicinal and Toilet Preparations have been on sale for a few mouths only, don't think for minute that in buying NA-DRU-CO goods you are experimeuting with new or untried preparations. Their Origin The twenty-one wholesale drug firms now unite*! In the "National" hud all of them len((thy careers, •OBie for fifty to one hundred years, prior to the anion . Bach firm had acquired or develope<l a number of Taluiiblc fonuula: fur uiciUciiial and toitet preriarations, allot which became the property of the "National". Since the union onr expert chemists have carefully gone over the«« formnke and selected the best for the NA-URU-CO line. Every fonnuU has bma carefully studiati by thee* •xperta, inproved U possible, and Cian tbaroufUy tested afaia, in actual use, before we consider it good enough to bear the NA-DRU-CO Trade Mark. An Example A good example of what we mean is NA-DRU-CO Nenreaooe for Brain Fag or nervous break-down. The formula was pronounced the most scientific com- bination of nerre medicines, but this was enough for us ; we had it tried ont with a dozen different kind of Brain workers â€" School Teachers, Lawyers, Book- keepersâ€" as well as Society leaders and home workers, and everywhere the result was so good that we adopted it as one d the best of the NA-DRU-CO line. There are therefore bo asperlmanta among NA-DRU-CO preparations. We have invested alto- gether too much time, work and money in the NA-URU-CO line to take any chances of discretliti ng it with preparations that might not prove satisfactory. We make absolutely certain that each preparation is satisfactory before we endorse it with the NA-DRU-CO Trade Mark. Ask your pbyslelui or yanr drvffgist about the firm behind NA-DRU-CO preparations and about the NA-DRU-CO line. They can tell you, for we will fumisb them, on request, a hill list of tlie ingredieals in any NA-DRU-CO article. "Money Back** If by any chance you should not be entirely satisfied with any NA-DRU-CO article you try, return the unused portion to the druggist from whom yon bought it and he will refund your moneyâ€" willingly, too, because we return to him every cent he give* back to you. If your druggint should not have the particular NA-DRU-CO article you ask for in stock he can get it for yon within two days from our nearest wholesale branch.

I'HAPTKK VII. Wlien Maxima awoke n<'xt morn- ing th^ wenps in llu«» Jouffroy pre- sented t]iemiM>iv«s under a n<'w as- p<><;l. Now that he ha<i ronio ont from the hubbub and <'4)iild r«aKon 0'.''rc calmly, he began to rxtract a fpw certainties from amoiix all tliCM.' obfii-uritios. The marvel of the Rink was not th'' ftifnd of BoriKoff. On this point tJiCTf.' was no possibility of mistake. Blio Karl dirpct'cd a plot for tho dp- livcranc<- of Itobfrt dc ('arnot-i, a»'l 1h»' plot had siioccrdod. But Ly what inirach- of address had â- lie conse to dweivr Borisoff and in- duce bim to bring his prisoner to hfv h' 4 r^f And who was this Ma<l- ftnw; Sergent who Bhowed lierBolf only to vanish iminediatelj-, wlku •kated at the Bink like an a<lven- ti'iesF, who waK entlironed like a great lady in the first boxes at the 0|;«ra, who supped with a Bertha Verrier, who had at hfr disposal a hcuse peopled with liveried Ber- vaiitfl, who «"xhibited luTKclf one «viHinK in cuupju^y with a. su»pici- «UR iMiyard, and a month after was brr.iight home by the most authenti- cated of Russian colonels? To all ti>i= be was prepar<rd with a rcjjly.

But it Madam« Kergent were this, what WAX irr be thought of (;»rnoel? Ki- th< r he was her lover or her aecim plice. This melancholy couelusion foiced itself upon Maximo. .And in these cases he liad l>etraye<l jwior Alice; he was unworthy ot the love cf the girl who IK^riHhed in belie\- ing ill hi* innocence. ",So," thought Mnxime, "those who accused the Lord t'arniid were right, and I fi>r my part acted as fo.ilif'hiy as Don (^uixofe when he ni.drrtook to di^liver the bandits ff)i< were being led to the galle.vs Jliit be eoiiUI not forget that it mhh not he alone who had under talun the defence of bis uncle's sec rediry.

Hhe it was who bad east doubts into the mind of .Mice just as the poor child hud begun to bc- Jievc in the guilt of ber lover. It win she who had fired the r,eal of Ifaxime, who had launched him in in n, senseless enterprise. Her in tfirst in him drew its inspirit ion from a feeling of rlrivalry, a natural propensity to defen<l the weak and Buecor tlie oppressed. But this no-'- iuinal adventure proveil that ber â- ify was i'l placed. Maxiine pro- posed to relate tliis history to ber am' hoped to .•â- um. rl Iht lo nior. rtttionnl views. He w.i« Iinpaiieiit al.o lode Counce the conduct of the f' u-inK- master who had shown, himself the ally of Ma<lamc Serpent, and had certainly aete*l without the know- j kdge of the noble wDman in whose service he was engaged. In tiie last interview wi'tli Ma- dum« Yalta, she had elearly ex- j.laintxl herself on iht; subjeot of the Nihilists and their adhcreuts. "I have the Rood fortune not to be a, Uu.ssian subject, " were her vcrds; "I have therefore nothint? to do with these people, but I \h- lonp by Instinct to the party of tJie puwribed, and am not of tliat of th:evcH and murderers." But it was not surprising that a hireling had betrayed his mistress, a;u' i't inif;ht even be that Madame Yulta was surrounded, unkiuiwn to herself, by s<-ouiidrfls affiliated with a sect whose dreajn is nniver- si-1 destruction. These wreU-hes w.re known to l.e «vcr>wher(s and to eistablish themselves from choice, where no on-! suspected they would have the aiidaeiiy to inter. It the feneing- mast^T, Kaniiki. was one of them, as it appeared, he had well chosen liis )iost.

You rememljcr the marvel- k'us brunette whom I pointed out to you at the Bink I" 'Yes, certainly," he replied with some agitation. "Have you seen her since?" This unexpected i]ue«ti<)n diseon- corted Maxiiuc, but an immediate reply was necessary, and he an- swered evasively: "1 have seen l»«r once M the I theatre." "And you spoke to her?" "No, she was in a box with a gen- tleman." "A foreigner, was he not?" "He had that appearance." TJic doctor reflected for a mo- nient. Maxime more end more con- fused by this singular ejucstioning could not long remain silent. "Y'ou know her, then?" he asked, leoking with a certain unedsincs* at Villages. "One of my frir.nds knows her, and he was wftli her when day Ijc- foie yesterday I (MUSsed her in the street." ,, -'- "And he has told y.QU who she is?" eics, but she ended by confessing that she had launched you into the insane enterprise of finding this C'arne)el. 1 do not know what you have done, but J am going to aid you with a piece of valuable infor- mation. I thing Madame Yalta was wrong to emJaark you in tliis foolish expedition, but the evil is done, and I wisli only to serve you. She is bent on fishing up this youth who has fallen into the sea; well, w« wi" fi»h him up together. I shall not be sorry to deliver him fro-n tlhe toils of this worthless woman , which it is in ray power to do, and once withdrawn from her, we wilt fatilitate h'S embarkiing for Ameri- ca I suppose you no longer think of reinstating him that he may marry your cousin!" "Oh, no," said Maxime, "my mind is raado up about him." "Goexi! we are agreed, then, on Oil-; point. It is what we are to un- dertake at the lady's houUe that concerns us now; but we must know at what doior to knock. These fe.inale Nihilists ' are marvellously skilful in eluding researches â€" this one especially. We should fail unquestionably if we went to seek for her where she is not, and the check would be irreparable.

We h-ive, then, nothing to do but present our- selves at a certain house to-wh'ch they liave transferred their nest." "When?" "TUiis evening, if you will; or ra- ther 'to-night, for it is just as well we should not be seen entering the liou-se of a woman whose mysterious ways must have attracted the atten tion of the neighbors." "Is it like the otljer?" "No, it is a lodging meanly fur nished in the faubourg St. Honore near .St. Philippe du Roule." "It is very astonishing, and I wonder, above all, tuat you should 1.". so well informed." said Max ime, to wliom a feelnng of distrust of the doctor now and then le- tuined.
