As a rule we don’t use or refer to testimonials in addressing thepublic, but the above remark and Similar expressions are made so often in connec- tion with Scott’s Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional not e. From infancy to old age Scott’s Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im- proper and weak develop- ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The ac t i o n of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul- sion itself. What it does it does through nourish- mentâ€"the kind of nourish- ment that cannot be ob- tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it. “Ah! That enlightena me, your ex- cellency. I know what she .wanted it for now." “Wanted what for?" “The bookâ€"the pictures of uniforms. i saw her studying the uniform of the inspector general of prisons. She seem- ed pleased after that." Jurnlefl turned away. “What was there in the general's let- ter to produce this change?" he asked himself. “It is remarkable. I can now write to him that he is in a fair way to have his dearest wish gratified. I ought to be promoted myself if that comes off.” “It may be, though Mlle. Alma says little to me. Is he not a great ofllcer?" “He has a hlgh and honorable pool- tlon. He in Inspector general of prin- “He had noticed that you were gay and smiling of late. He naked me the “It is not that. I think.

Heretotore she has been moroae and sad; now she is smiling and cheerful. What has caused lt? She acts like one who knew that her lover had come to see her." Marie started. Did he know that Al- ma was aware of the presence of Irons in the prison? “What did my uncle ask you, Mao rie?" inquired Aim at the cut-tinge was being driven on. The approach or the governor's ball in honor of the new inspector general of prisons roused great interest. A governor's ball was always a grand airair, but this one, coming at the close of the fair. with so many notables from all parts of the east in Tiflis, was cer- tain to surpass in splendor any of its predecessors. The bazaars brought out their best goods and displayed them to the best advantage. Women of all nations began feverish shopping and preparing. Omcers ot the garrison, Persian grandees, Chinese princes, Turkish pashas, vied with one another in their efforts to do credit to this great occasion. Alma seemed imbued with the same spirit of rivalry. One day as she and Marie were going out Jurniefl stopped Marie.

I dared not go a step beyond the limits set. But now! The blood of the Jurnleffs in aroused.” Arriving at the bazaar, she made an- other purchase, walked to the carriage, answered Marie’s question as to what kept her so long and in half an hour was back in her apartments. “What next?” he said. “She is actu- ally singing a love song. Evidently my brother has not managed this affair well. Why, the girl is already happy as well as conquered. Really my brother’s influence must get me pro- moted.

It was only after a prolonged war that Astrakhan was subdued, and her realty has never been more than nominal. Every little while some new mollah rises to preach a holy war, and a new crusade against the Muscovite begins. The Astrakhan, seated upon the prow of his boat. was tall, dark and pictur~ esqne. He was smoking a pipe, regard- less ot the proximity of several tons of hay belonging to himself. As he looked around he saw a amnn white anger beckoning him. He unn- terod to where Alma out. She got down tron: her out 1nd spoke in whupm. “Are you not from the lower volley of tho Voln 1” “It is a fortune, sweet lady!

I will give you 2.000 rubles." The hay wharfs on the Kur were in themselves part of the show. Boats of all descriptions crowded against one another, for the supply of hay needed during the fair for the horses and cam- els was very great. The shouts of Cir- cassians, Georgians and Turks and Per~ sians were deafening. Alma sat in her drosky and looked about at the busy scene. These hay- hotts were mostly from the towns along the upper Kur and the Volga. They were of all kinds, sizes and de- grees of safety. Those from the Volga were the largest, for they needed sta- bility to travel on the Caspian. Near one of these, with an Astrakhan owner and crew, she halted. The lvoahtshik stared. but the money that was put into hie hand wan many times the regular charge. and he did not hesitate. Not evexi Max-{e noticed the cloaked figure that came from the bazaar. A drosky was standing near, and Alma stepped into it. “Take me to tbs hay whsrts." she [To In: :oxwmunnj With every 6 boxes of D3 Hunt's Omar-hon Pun you et one time, we give our wri Gnu-um that if you don’t derive benefit from their nee, we will give you your money book.
