.‘v' IN THE FLESH Are the Sharp Twinges rind Tor- tures of Rheumatism---Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a certain Uura. The twinges and the tortures of rheumatism are not due to cold, damp weather as so many people imagine. Rheumatism comes from poisonous acid in the blood. The pains may be started by cold wea- ther, damp weather or by keen ,winds. There is only one way to cure rheumatism. It must be treatâ€" edthrough the blood. All the lini- ments and rubbing, and so-called electrical treatment in the world .will not cure rheumatism. The acid disease must be driven out of the blood and the blood enriched and purified. It is because Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make new, red blood that they have cured thousands of cases of rheu- matism after all other treatment had failed. As a proof of what Dr. {Williams’ Pink Pills will do even in the most severe cases of rheuma- tliat causes the tism, the case of Mr. David Car- rol, a well known furniture dealer of Pieton, N. 8., may be cited. Mr. Carroll says :-â€"“I have been a most levere sulferer from rheumatism, ind in the hope that some other poor sufferer may find relief from my experience I gladly write you if the benefit I have recoived from Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The =t1 ouble settled in my shoulders and down my sides and at times I was .quite unable to raise my arm.

You went away a beggar and you have come home a beggar. Be off! And if’ you ever attempt to cross the threshold again I’ll have you turned out by the servants.” Cecil laughed. His uncle’s bruâ€" tality did not seem to affect him nearly so much as little Miss Holmes’s kindness had done, and he went towards the door with gay feet. “I’m going, uncle,’ “don’t lose your temper. bye, all of you.” Miss Holmes sat in a corner, cryâ€" ing softly. He approached the girl, patted her gently on the shoulder, and then went from the room. “A good riddance,” said George. “He’s positively hateful,” com- mented Mabel. “Another moment and I‘d have thrown him out,” muttered Arthur, who was always very pugnacious wuen there was nobody to fight. Mr. Barth, however, .was silent. Obviously he was considering a weighty matter, and the outcome of his deliberations proved rather tin- pleasant for Miss Holmes. Clear- ing his throat, he said in. aloud, judicial tone :â€" “Miss Holmes, be good enough to attend to me.” The girl rose, and stood with her ’ he said ; Good- Be offlI D “Why, upon my word, this seems like a family party,” spluttered Mr. Barth, wondering what was the meaning of this extraordinary meet- ing. “What brings you here ’2” ‘ ‘We were asked to call at eleven,” replied Arthur and Mabel in a breath. Confidences-followed slowly. It semeed that George had secretely written the millionaire asking for a osition as secretary; that Arthur had begged him to find him an ap- pointment as something in th - City ; ' and that Miss Mabel had actually been bold enough to inquire wheth- er he desired a lady typist. Each had kept the application secret from the other, but now concealment was futile, and they all looked remark- ably foolishâ€"all except Mr. Barth, who preserved his august manner although he felt decidedly uncomâ€" fortable. “It looks as though McIlwraith were going to make fools of us,” said George, in an undertone. “These Colonial chaps have no man- ners.” ' “Shut up,” growled his brother; “here he comes”. As he spoke the footsteps on the threshold approached the door, and it swung open slowly. Then, once again, amazement was imaged in the faces of them all, for there, standing before them, clothed in perfect garb and looking the very picture of health and prosperity, stood the prodigal, Cecil Clive. ' “Good morning,” he said. “Glad to see you all so punctual.” Mr. Barth rose and faced him nervously. , “Look here, my fine fellow!” he exclaimed; “how you have wormed your way into this house I don’t know,'"but I suppose, with your 10.

So be kind enough to go.” Cecil laughed. “How long, uncle, he asked, "have you been in the habit of turn- ing a man out of his own room 2” Barth stared at him wildly. “Whatâ€"what do you mean?” he gasped, whilst the others stood rigid, like graven images. “I mean this: that the Hall and everything that is in the Hall 1s mine.

Your sym- pathy with a penniless and reckless ne’er-do-well proves that you are not fit to have the training of young minds, and so, Miss Holmes, I will ask you to take a month’s notice.” The girl did not seem to mind very much. “I will go this very day,” she said 7 H “That is asyou please,” replied Mr. Barth, magnanimously, and feeling vaguely that he was doing a very noble action, “but perhaps it will be better.” ‘ 96 if 9(- * if 9? “)6 . “It will be a splendid thing for the neighborhood,” observed Mr. Barth a few weeks later ; “though I wonder why he selected our part of the country for his home.” 8U rune To YOU Aao EVERY SISTER 312 Mannlng Chambers 633 Board of Trade Bldg- .4-2'cv I -‘1-z~~ . - 304 Haln atreot _ .I'l“:r ~ :x'.

He had been discussing with his family the news that had just reach- ed Meadowhurst, to the effect that Constantine McIlwraith had pur- chased the Hall and intended settl- ing down there for some months. “The man is enormously rich,” went on Mr. Barth. “And no doubt he will be correspondingly generous. If I can interest him in that scheme of mine for adding new plant to the works, it will mean a difference of thousands per annum to me.” Now, Mr. Barth did not believe in letting the grass grow under his feet, and that very day he sat down and wrote to Mr. McIlwraith, beg- ging for an interview. “The fact that we are such near neighbors makes me hold to address you,” he concluded. “And I believe that the scheme which I desire to propose to you would prove mutualâ€" ly advantageous.’ ’ By return of post he received a communication from the great man’s secretary, asking him to call at the Hall on the following morning at Dellghted by this speedy reply, Mr. Barth went his way in the clieeriest of spirits, and on the next morning he buttoned himself up in his most dignified frockâ€"coat and sallied forth to the Hall. A resplendent manâ€"servant ush- ered him into the great oaken lib- rary and asked him to sit down. A momen. later the door opened and another visitor entered. Mr. Barth jumped up in amazement. “Halloa, George l” he exclaimed. “What on earth are you doing here?" “I was just going to ask you the same question, dad,” replied George. sulkily. “As a matter of fact. I have an appointment with old McIlwraith here at eleven.” “H’m! That’s queer!” ommented Barth. “He told me to be at the house at the same hour.” Once again the door opened, and father and son started up, ready to make their obeisanees to the golden calf as represented by Mr. Constanâ€" tine McIlwraith, but to‘the supreme amazement of both of them they beheld Arthur and Mabel. must be treated with some regardâ€"- show your faces here again, I’ll have you turan out by my servants.” â€"who, because she is a woman, “Great Jove, my own words!” gasped Mr. Barth. “You have a good memory.” “Yes; I have a good memory, sir, and I never forget. I invited the lot of you here this morning so that I might reveal to you the truth and then send you packing.” He went to the door and held it open. A slight, black-clothed figure came towards them. Lo, it was Miss Holmes, the little governess, and when Mr. Barth beheld her he flush- ed crimson. “H’m! I can understand now why this person was ready to take your part,” he sneered. “Silence!” shouted Cecil. “If you dare to insinuate one word against her, I may forget that you are old enough to know better and send you out quicker than you came in. She knew, indeed! She knew nothing. She believed me to be the beggar that you also thought me to be, but- she stood by me like the brick that she is. ~And when I heard that she had left your house I at once sought her cut, told her the truth, and asked 5161' to come here each day to aid me with my corres~ pondence.” Mr. Barth snorted. “Your secretary, ch ’4” he mutter- ed. “Yes, sir, my secretary at present -â€"my wife that is to be.” Not another word was spoken. In grim silence the little family party descended the steps of the big house and turned their faces homewards.
