approve of Scott's Emulsion. For whom? For men and women who are weak, when they should be strong; for babies and children who are thin, when they should be fat : for all who get no nourish- ment from their food. Poor blood is starved blood. Con- sumption and Scrofula never come without this starvation. And nothing is better for starved blood than cod-liver oil. Scott’s Emulsion is cod-liver oil with the fish-fat taste taken out.

“ By a thorough knowledge of the natural saws which govern the operations of digesiion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well selected Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided for our breakfast and supper a delicately flavored beverage which may save use many heavy doctors’ bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease.

‘May I not go to her, and te!l her how i love her:"’

“No, no; not yet—leave all to me. She is so younz, Godfrey; give her time and be patient. Now, for the first time, wegin your suit, and all will be well

‘Enough! more than enough for ma

Mrs. Neville rose suddenly; a feeling amo over her that she could bear this nc She had taken the first step— there was no retreat possible now.

“I will goto her at once,’’ she said ind left the room.

Audine was half asleep by the firs reading. She opened her eyes when Mrs Neville came in.

“lam so comfcrtable, she said, sieepi ry

‘onger onger.

Aunt Mary,’

There wasan unusially long pause his time, and the mnsic played on vall- ently, then i¢ became soft, and the cur- tain drew up suddenly. A low cry, hardly ouder than an excia:natton, burst from Godfrey's ps, and he bent forward, with his eyes fixed on the tableau, and his hands grasping the arms of his chair al wnoat convulsively.

‘What is it? what is iti’’ he muttered, with clenched teeth

Audine stood ona cunningly devised white pedastal. She was dressed entirely in white: the long folds hung as white and still looking as a marble itself; one cf her hands held a long white veil over her head. and the shadow over her face concealed the warm bue of life, and made her a very statue, wonderfully like the White Queen.

The tableau was greeted with a perfect storm of applause; so enthusiastic were they all that they did not notice Mrs. Neville’s appearance, looking very pale and nervous, nor did they see the form of Roger Girwood half concealed in a cor ner and watching with intense interest. Godfrey never moved.

The music played on very softly, then Mra. Neville advanced in front of the stage and said a few words; the buzz of applause ceased, and holding out her hand to Audine, the statue descended from her pedestal, and joined her friends.

The mother looked round the room anxiously. Godfrey had disappeared.

The guests and the actors now mingled together, the lights were lit rapidly, and dancing began.

Then Mrs. Neville stole away from the guests, and sought her son. She found Godfrey in his own room, sitting by the table, with his face hidden in his hands Gently she laid her hand upon his shoul- der: ‘‘Godfrey!’’ she said, ‘*Godfrey!’’

He looked up, his eyes were haggard and wild.

**Godfrey, tell me, what are you think ing? Why do you not speak?’

‘Ah me!"’ he said. ‘‘Oh, mother, what has come over me? I cannot believe the sight of my own eyes—that statue!”’

yes

‘Sheis the real queen of my life. Is she not the White Qneen? tiera come down upon earch, to whom I am wed with a golden ring!”’

‘*That statue was Audine.’’

*“‘Audine!—Audine!’’ and his head fell on his hands again.

The mother’s blood ran cold. Were not reason and delusion battling for her son to-night? She must, she would save him.

An honr passed by, then Godfrey raised nis head suddenly; the whole expression of his face had changed, had become soft- ened and intensely weary.

‘*Mother "’ he said, laying hia head on her shoulder, ‘‘I seem to have had a terri- ble dream. My White Queen,’’ he passed his hand over his brow, ‘‘is only a statue.’’

A Boy’s Life Saved

® ‘‘One day my little boy, aged 7, got a falland hurt hisknee. Inflam- mation of the knee joint set in and the decay of the bone of the leg rapidly followed. Doctors removed over a hundred pieces of decayed bone, but the process of decomposi- tion continued. All attempts to stop it failed. The boy had but a few days’ life before him according to all human expectations. Mr. Denham, druggist, Petrolia, advised me to try Scott's Sarsaparilla, I did ko,and not only saved but complete- ly cured my boy.”"—JosepH Dun- CAN, farmer, Lambton County, Ont, Doubters may write either Mr. Duncan or Geo.

“And the real White Queen is Audina, a lovely woman who can smile, and cry, and breathe.’

“Ay, and laugh and rejoice, Godfrey,’’ she was watching anxiously

Then he suddenly sprang to his feet.

‘*What a fool 1 have been, mother!’ he exclaimed. ‘‘But the ring—can you ex- piain to me that horrible mystery?’’

‘*Listen to me, Godfrey. Girwoud has been examining the statue. Are you listening?’

“se, en”

‘“‘When you left off your work, how many fingers were carved"’

‘“‘All; only the palm of the hand was untouched.”’

““On which did you place your ring?’

‘I do not know—I was mad.’’

‘‘Listen, Godfrey: could not those fin gers have been removed, and the block which was to be reduced to the palm of | the hand, converted ino a new hand with closed fingers? could it have been done in a single night?’

‘*But I was there; I must have heard.”’

‘*You were drugged, Godfrey; we have evidence to prove that.’’

‘*But who could have treated me so? I | have no enemy on earth,’’ **Castaletti, I fear.’

“But why? Mother, I cannot believe | .*

“The drug was bought by him, Gir wvod has discovered; and the motive . was jealousy; he loyed Audine.”’

‘Oh, mother, mother! what a strange story you are telling me!’’

‘“*You are worn out and weary, God frey; sleep now, and to-morrow, please God, you will be quite well.’’

Mrs. Neville went down stairs, but | found the last guest departed and the house shut up and dark; when she re- turned, Godfrey was asleep. In the morn- ing he avenke, valm, refreshed, and re- stored to his own mind.

Mrs. Neyille very carefully avoided any allusion to the past; anxiously afraid of awakening his slumbering memory—she kept him always with her, and inces- santly occupied; she felt that her work was as yet only begun,

CHAPTER X.

Several weeks passed during which Mrs. Neville continued to throw Audine and her son constantly into each other's society; as the winter came on and the weather prevented a life spent much out of doors, they were of necessity con stantly together; and Mrs. Neville, who was a reallg clever woman, spared no en deavor to draw them out, to lead them into arguments and discussions, and tq make them more familiar companiqngs, Mrs. Burns saw and was uneasy; after many debates within herself she made up her mind as to her duty, and wrote to Colonel Fitzjames.

Mrs. Neville thought that all was going as she wished, that she would be spared apy farther wiles to bring about what she so earnestly desired, so her disappoint- ment was keen, when one morning God- frey came into her room, and said ab- ruptiy, ‘‘Mother. lam going to London; I must go back to my work,’’

‘*What is the matter, my dear boy?’’

“The -ter?'"' he jumpad up almost flercely a... paced up and down the room, ‘‘Mother, am I not human? Can I live under the same roof as Audine and not love herr’

‘Godfrey!’ faltered Mrs. Neville, as white as a sheet. ‘‘Wby not? why should you not love her?’’

“IT love that beautiful, heavenly ohild? Oh ro! I am not fit for that. I must go.’’

‘““But, Godfrey, what barrier should stand betweon you? Why are you afraid? Is it that youthink you cannot win her heart?"’

“You torture me. Do you think noth- ing of this horrible hallucination (if it wasan hallucination) which has stood between me and my rest? O heavens! even now my brain reels. I cannot be certain that I am not still in the power of Hera come down from above—that | have not seen her white hand close on my golden ring.”’

‘Hush, hush!’’

“I know itis not so,"’ he went on; ‘I know it! Iknowit! But sometimes in agony it comes over me, do I know it? can i be certain? I believe I am not all

‘'T haye come to ask you to do some- thing for me!’ said Mrs. Neyille, sitting down.

‘“With all my heart."’

Andine was awake in a second. Mrs. Neville went to the wash-band-stand, poured out a glass of water and drank it down, then she came back to Audine.

‘* The fact is, my dear, that Godfrey is going away”

‘*Now—et once?’’

“Yes; and, Audine, I do not want him to go. He has been ill, and is not well yet, and I am so anxious to keep him with me.”’

“Dear Aunt Mary!’’ cried Audine, ‘‘what can I dot Can you not persuade him?’

‘IT ecannot persuade him, but perhaps you could; he would do anything for you.”’

‘Oh, I will ask him, of course,’’ said Audine; ‘“‘but I am afraid that if he will not listen to you, he will not to me.”’

“It is quite a different thing,’’ said Mrs. Neville, decidedly.

Yes; he might not refuse from cour tesy; but still I must not bore him if he really wants to go.’’

‘*My dear, dear child—bore him! He would go to the end of the world to serve

ou.”’

s Audine looked startled, then blushed rosy red at the thought which had passed through her mind.

“I think it will bore him;’’ but Mrs, Neville would not let her draw back.

‘You bave promised to ask him,’’ she said, eagerly.

‘“‘Indeed, dear, I want him so very much to stay; it isso important to him and to me”’

‘*Very well, Aunt Mary,’’ said Audine; “*{ will run down and ask him.”’

Mrs. Neville’s words, or rather the manner in which they bad been uttered, awoke Audine’s self-consciousness. She felt uncomfortable and shy of the young sculptor; the shyness !mparted a certain dignity to her slight figure, as she slowly went down to the drawing-room and up to the chimney-plece agains$ which he was leaning.

“T hope you will not go away,'' she said, gently. ‘‘I think it would be much better that you should stay.’’

“You wish me to stay?’’ be said, very eagerly.

‘“*Your mother wishes it; we both do,’’ she answered. He was looking at ber so earnestly that the color again mantled in her cheek, and she turned awav her face and looked into the fire. odfrey made one step forward. ‘‘Audihe,’’ he said, softly—then stopping himself very sud- denly, he left the room,

CHAPTER XL

**Burnie,’’ said Audine to her nurse, as she was brushing her hair that night, ‘“‘when a man faJls in love, how does he show it?’

Mrs. Burns looked considerably startled, but she preserved her presence of mind.

“That depends, my dear, on the gentle- man; some show it a great deal more than others.’’

‘“‘Oh, I never saw any one in love, Burnie, so | want to know how you know whether they are in love or not.’’

“It is not always very easy to say, Miss Audine. Some talk very much, some get very stiff, and some very flighty; some never speak atall. I’ve known one who would go all the way round the room, touching eyery chair and table in it, rather than walk atraight; and one I knew who was always walking backwards in- stead of standing still.’’

Audine laughed.

“And are these the only signs? How are they to be distinguished from ordl- nary shyness? Is there no other means of telling?’

“Very little else until the propesal comes off, Miss. Sometimes they use the young lady’s Christian name by mistake, which betrays who is always in their thoughts.’’

Audine started.

‘*But you hold your head a little more steady, my dear, for a good last brush. Whatever's put gentlemen into your mind to-night, dear?’’

“Oh, nothing!’’

“You will know all about it when your time comes, Miss Audine; but don’t you go thinking about nonsense things when

a”

the Coleone: is away.

‘‘T wish he would come back, Burnie,’’ she sighed,

‘Well the best part of the year is over and I should not be a bit surprised if he was home sooner than you think.’’

‘*How delightful it would be!’’ cried Audine.

Godfrey Neville began his suit. He lingered about the drawing-room; he sought Audine’s opinion and adyice on every subject; he listened to her with deference; he followed her movements with wistful oyes, and tried hard to per- suade himeelf that his mother was right, and that the new reserve and shyness which she showed toward him were only the results of an unknown deep feeling.

Meanwhile he found his mind gradu- ally clearing itself from the strange med- ley of fancies which had tormented him so long, and one only object engrossed his thongits.

Mrs. Neville watched it all with pain- ful interest. In every way she endeavored to bring the two into conversation: and when she and Audine were by themselves she would always be talking of Godfrey

| —of his baauty, his genius, the kindness | of his disposition. Audine felt soon noth-

ing but a great wish to get away from Lealstone, and a longing for her brother which often made her very unhappy. She was oppressed by Godfrey’s attentions, and Jonged to be freed from them; and it required all ler loving sympathy with the feelings of others not to show Mrs. Ne- ville that the constant conversation about her son wearied her. She cvuld not un- derstand what it was that made Mrs. Ne- ville watch her so anxiously with such scrutinizing eves,

A Good Deal in a Few Words,

“I paid a Torento specialist on catarrh a large sum of money, but I got no bene- tix. I tried them all, but fioally, almust in despair, and assuredly without any

faith, I tried Chase’s Catarrh Cure. It is all that it is recommended, which is say- ing a good deal in a few words.” Joel

Rogers, clerk, Division Court, Beeton. Improvement blower in each 25c. box.

Good taste is the flower of good sen — Po:ncelot.

Money No Object. The amount of money sufferers from catarrh will spend in attempting to cure that foul and ui-agreeable disease is al- most incredible. J.W. Jennings. of Gil- ford, Ont., says: “I spent between $200 and $300 consulting doctors; I tried all the ‘treatments’ without benefit. One box of Chase’s Catarrh Cure did me more good than all the remedi-s. A 252. box cured me.” Dou’t waste money. Chase’s Cure, with imp oved blower, 25c. It cures. The John P. Lovell Arms Company is off-ring for sale for $55 bran Lew bicy- cles of last vear’s patterns.

The Soldier Sticks a Sword in the Ground and That Establishesthe Earth Current,

The military telephone soervica in France has been improved considerably during recent years, and is now one of the best services of the kind in the world. La Nature describes at length the appar- atus used and the outfit soldiers of each regiment who are pro-

an account of all the experiments and improvements after practical experience with the telephone.

The apparatus now usually adopted is that constructed by Capt. P. Charolois. The greatest importance in his invention is the use of a single wire, since he makes

rent to the base of the operation. This point is of considerable importance, since it lessens the weight as compared with former apparatus by more than one-third. He has further beer able to prove that the insullation of the telephone wire is unnecessary, and that a metallic wire unrolled and allowed to lie on the soil without any precaution or insulation will be sufficient to conduct an electric cur- rent for relatively long distances, say for ten or even fifteen miles. The transmit- ter and receiver used in his instruments ure of great sensibility, and greatly in- oreaie the value of his telephone, which is calculated to be used in open air and irrespective of other noises going on around.

Telephonic posts are formed prefera- bly by two men, one of whom carries the apparatus while the other attends to the telephoning. ‘The two men are supposed to be a private for the carrying and a non-commissioned officer for the report- ing duties. The communication is con- stantly kept up, since the wire unrolls automatically without difficulty, and is rolied up when the steps are retraced as easily as the wire is fed out. When the telephone is to be used the soldier draws his bayonet, through which the return current goes, and sticke it into the ground, The telephone is then ready for immediate use, and remains so until the bayonet is drawn out again and replaced into the scabbard. Each regiment is pra- vided with six telephones and the neces- sary material, the men being under the command of an electrician, who has the rank of a commisioned officer; six ‘non- commissioned officers and twelve privates completing the telephone company of each regiment. The men are divided through the different companies in such a way that all the officers may communi- cate with headquarters, and through headquarters with each other.

Such a service is naturally of the greatest importance when the regiment is moving in maneuvers of war on uncer- tain territory, and since these telephone lines may be thrown forward quite a dis- tance and the telephone may be used while both parties are marching, it will materially change the tactics of military engagements in future as far as trans- mision or orders and their rapid execcu- tion are concerned,
