presently. This man is going to play a deep game. He is a revolutionist, prob- ably a nihiliist, and he is taking the advantage of his unexpected likeness to the count, your father, in order to carry on his machinations without sus- picion. Do you follow me?”’
‘‘Gad, Borofsky!’’ exclaimed Percy, with admiration. ‘‘It’s a jolly good idea!’’
I concurred.
‘‘But,’’ I said, ‘thow is father’s dis- covery to be advanced by allowing this fellow, or seeming to allow him, to do as he likes and hatch all manner of deviltry from the shelter of our house ?”’
‘‘We mustn't hurry,’’ said Borofsky. ‘‘We shall watch him. He may have the mystery of your father’s absence in the hollow of his hand. We must catch the rascal in some plotting and get him into our power and force his secrets out of him by threatening him with the police and Siberia.”’
‘‘What if he is my father’s brother?" I said.
‘‘Well, but so he is, in all probabil- ity. ' asked him, but he denied it. which, of course, means nothing, one way or the other. There could scarcely be another so like the count.”
‘‘But, for heaven’s sake, Borofsky, let us be careful what we do. What if the fellow were to commit a crime and be arrested as Count Landrinof and punished under his name?”

Anzmia is the term which doctors use to indicate poverty of the blood. Probably go per
cent. of the girls and women of to-day suffer
from anemia. This is a startling statement—
but it is true. It is easy to distinguish anaemic
women. They have a dark semi-circle under the eyes; a sallow or waxy complexion ; thin limbs, weak chests and ill developed forms. They are languid and tired; subject to back- aches and headaches, and sometimes to hysteria and fainting spells. If the poor and watery blood is not enriched, and, the tired and jaded nerves strengthened, consumption must almost inevitably follow. In this emergency there is only one medicine that will promptly and effectively create
new blood and strengthen the nerves, and that is
