Jeanne was very silent and very shy as she walked by his side, but every now and then, as he stopped to pick one or other of the spring flowers, she stole a. glance at the handsome face-m glance of mingled love and pride. For what girl--- even a princess of the blood-would not be proud of the lose of this stalwart, handsome artist and musician?

CHAPTER XII. It is a month since Vernon Vane sat on Aunt Jane's kitchen table among the flour, and the June sun. as it sinks slow- ly and regretfully to its rest, turns the red bricks of the old house into a vivid erim,on. Every door and window is open. and the passer-hy, if he cares to Earth. may hear, from the first flor, that confused commingling of chatter and ex- elamation which proceeds from Women in cxvitement. The aforesaid passerby may also, it he ho ob:ervant. rmnark an unwontcd air of movement s1irring about the plat-v; something 15 going to happen. Up in the room, from which the voices float down into the road, the mystery is explained. for a small group of ladies are gathered around the bed, wrapped in an ostacy ot admiration and delight at the vision of n white satin bridal dress smothered in lace, togethor with the mun] paraphernalia considered neces- sary for those young ladies Miro are about to change their condition. "And-and the command,” says Jean- ne, speaking at last, "what was that?" Vane frowns. "A comical one. but one which, being in a good humor this morning, I promised to obey. 1 8m to go up to the Park, and break the news of his lordship’s de- parture to tho Lamhtons. _ Poor Maud t poor Georgina ! - happy Maud.' happy Georginia! if they were only wise en- ough to know ther osenpo from a man who would have married them for their money.

But Vane for a wondér is not looking It, her, but is gazing musingly at the a F.

I wonder you did not see "And they have not eaten me, you see!” he says, half an hour afterwards, as Jeanne and he are sitting on the u- Jtor.

Even in a. fumishéd flat there h usx_m_lly room enough for adiffereneeof If a dog becomes morose and abnormal in action, he should be completely iso- lated for observation; or, still better, at once killed. There is certainly enough of danger from this disease, or group of disetures,.to justify heroic measures at the first tslams-Joseph A. Graham in June Outing. These recent cases still leave the cause and character u. rabies obscure. As I understood it, no biologist has yet is- olated the microbe of "hydrophobia" or discovered a specific anti-toxin. Whether the Pasteur treatment is really a. speci- fie I doubt. It may be a reliable preven- tive, and at any rate, ought to be tak. en by every human being who has been bitten by a mad dog, or exposed to close contact. The one symptom which seems to be universal is a complete change of char- actor and a disposition to snap and bite at the dog'is best friends. I watched an infected poodle for a long time one day, and could not see tht he had any consciousness of what he was doing. A piece of straw lay across his eyeball without apparently causing him any sen- sation whatever. . In view of prevalent beliefs, it is cur- ious that I can discover but one case which resulted from a bite. Nearly all of the others preceded from obscure or unknown causes. One Boston terrier de- veloped the disease in a kennel of forty dogs, where she had been for a month. There had never been a case in the ken- nel and none of the other dogs have manifested symptoms since. IF YOUR DOG GOES MAD.’ Rabies, aeording to reports, has had an unusual prevalence this spring.

Why, I remember when I Iwas married, Lambton was only in s a my]! mt-" - __ A Mr. Edgard Martel, 08 St. Peter street, Quebec, is one of the thous- ands of workingmen throughout Can.. ada who cheerfully admit that they are l kept in health and strength through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To the reporter who interviewed him, Mr. Martel said: 'The present con- dition of my health contrasts strikingly with what it was nine months ago. Then I felt that I was almost at death’s door, while now I am strong and well. This happy change is entirely due to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am a workingman and it is little wonder that after years of diligent toil my system was grad- ually run down. My blood got as thin as water, and I grew so poorly that the least exertion would leave me weak and trembling. I consulted a doctor, who said that I was run down through hard work, but his medicine did not help me any. A few weeks later, I was forced to quite work, and shortly after that .had to remain in bed most of the time. One day a fellow workman called to see mt, and induced me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before the second box was finished I had a better appetite and relished my meals, and with this came new strength. in a few weeks I was able to go out again, and in about six Weeks from the time I be- gan using the pills I was able to re- turn to work, my health, completely restored and my strength as nigort one as ever it had been. I attribute my complete recovery entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I think every hard working man would be better for using a box of these pills occasionally. Mr. Martel's advice should be taken by every working man. The onYy way to have health and strength is the only way to get rich, strength to keep the blood rich and pure, and the only way to get rich, strength producing: blood is through tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, because they actually make new blood.

And, indeed, now that the time has come for Jeanne to spread her wings, it is wonderful how many hearts are wrung in regret for her going. To say nothing of poor Bell, who has "never told his love, but let concealment, like a worm in the bud, feed on his damask cheek," there was every dog about the place who got a kind word and a caress from her; old Griffin. who sat for hours and stared at the Nancy Bell, puffing at his pipe, and sighing his heart out; and, lastly, there was Hal-Hal. who during these last few days, would scarcely let her out of his sight, and, for all his whistling and shouting, looked doleful whenever mention was made of the long journey which would follow hard upon the marriage ceremony. "And, "oht. do look at this beautiful dress. mamma.'" interrupts Maud, rather trtiijir] "fsn't it In"): tog sweet.'". "No." says poor Mrs. umuon, who is always looking back to the old times before the pill maker had made his for. tune and became an old country gentle- man.
