The few years which had intervened between his retirement from business, on the death of his last original partner, and its passing into other hands, were passed by him in the seclusion of his Highland home, and in the seditious study of his own health. This had been 'impaired by a sharp attack of rheu. matie fcver, not long before he had ' taken up his abode at Craigdnrroch. His mental condition can therefore be im. agined, and probably it was only his meeting with Mona, and her subsequent 1ii?,'iiiiii',i'igiiii:'iri which saved him from [rooming a confirmed hypoehondriac. 'From this he had so far been preserved by a. little quiet and eminently success- ful speculation, by which he had largely increased the fortune derived from his own savings, and the large bequest of the head of the firm, an old bachelor, who fondly hoped that Sandy Craig “mild remain in the house, and carry on the business according to the old tradition of the establishment. But the advent of new men was too much for the elderly junior partner's faith. He could not, he said, trust his "igtsir. earned sills- to the whim-whams of young mem" and he took his capital out of the. concern; again, at the first check in his cautious speculations, he at once y.rldArt hand. and was content to let [ Mona found her duties as adopted daughter by no means light. At six j o’elm-k she was expected to be ready to give her arm to her uncle. and assist his progress to the spring; to walk with him to and fro between the tumblers of water; to translate his grumblings to the bath attendant and the "tmuuseur"; to explain the impossibility of his eat-, ing the ornamental savory dishes at the tnhle d'hotn rm in short. though M. 1e. Directeur and the doctor both spoke and understood English, there were a. hun. dred and one trifles which required Moran’s intervention every day in the lweek. besides her ordinary task of read. ing aloud the leaders in the Scotsman, whieh was forwarded to him regularly, and writing the few letters he needed to desputeh. For part of Uncle Sandy’s illusions about his health consisted of a. belief that a slight tremulousness in his hands was an indication of spine dis- ease. creeping paralysis, and various other maladies, according as they came to his knowledge. I The next day saw Uncle Suhdy duly inaugurated into the system of water- drinking, douches and massage. The sight of the' weakly, queruloua old man. who seemed far more helpless than he really was. under the care of such a. delicate, distinguished looking young creature as Mona, appealed to the abundant chivalry of his nature. and from the mmm-nt of their meeting him all dift'ieulties vanished. , l Who that has lately visited Contrexe- ville does not know M. le Directeur. and remember him with pleasure'.

That is how they cured Miss Cadwell, and it is just by making rich red blood that they cure such common ailments as indi. gestion. rheumatism, headaches and backachm, kidney trouble, neuralgia and the special ailments which make miser- able the lives of so many women and young girls.

They actually make the rich red blood that l imparts the. bloom of youth and glow of (health to women’s oheeeks. They bring bright eyes, high spirits, and make the day's duties lighter. Twelve months ago Miss Mary Cadwell, who lives at 49 Mhy- nard street, Halifax, N. 8., was run down. The least exertion would tire her out. Her up mite “as poor and fickle, and frequent rainbows added to her dir tress. The doctor treated her for anne- mia, but without apparent rennin. A relative advised her to uSe Dr. Wand Pink Pills. and after using but six bum aha says she feels like an altogether dif- ferent person. She can now out her meals with zest, the color has returned to her cheeks, and she feels better and stronger in every way. Need Rich, Red Blood to Stand Worry and Strain of Business Hours. Business overtures c. woman's strength. Weak, languishing girls fade under the strain. 'lhey risk health rather than lose employment and the loss of health means the loss of beauty. Thousands of earnest intillegent young women who earn a livelihood away trom home in public offices, and business establish- ments are silent, suffering victims ot, overtuxcd nerve: and deficiency of otrength because their blood supply is I not equal to the strain placed upon them. Fragile, breathless and nervous, they ltvork against time with never a. rest when headaches and baekaches make ev- ery hour like a day. Little wonder their cheeks lose the tint of health and grow ale and thin. Their eyes are dull, t,l',1,",'d,,',' and weary; their beauty slowly but surely fades. Business girls and women look older than their years because they need the frequent help of a true blood-making, '1',"iatlteJs medi. cine to carrythem throng theday.

Still more desperate must the venture have seemed at the door of the journalistic dictator. Marat lived in squalor and poverty with his faithful Simonne Evrard, her clever sister, cook and a printer on his newspaper. A chronic invalid, on the day of her call he was so ill that no one was permitted to see him. The strange young lady insists on the importance of her visit, but: Simonne is inexorable. and gets rid of her at last. In the evening, however, about 7 o'clock, Marat receives a letter running thus: “I come from Caen. Your love for your country ought to make you wish to know the plots which are there being projected. I await your reply." And a half hour later the young lady again presents herself, having got inside the door of the apartment house. This time she is taken in hand by the janitor and ejected. It makes a great hubbub, and Marat, hearing the alterca- tion, calls out that the citoyenne is to be allowed to enter. Marat is suffering more than usually, with eer.emB-otte re- sult of want, hunger and a wretched, hunted life, after sacrificing all that he possessed to start his newspaper, the People's Friend.
