When she recovers she finds herself surrounded by blue-coated men, and answers the stern, businesslike questions of one of them, tremblingly, but he learns enough. “Larkey O’Connor, alias Alphonse Sartoris, said he, “I know him ; this trick of enticing young girls into these i places is getting common, and will be ■ so as long as girls are allowed to walk ; the streets at all hours unprotected.” J “Rather say,” responded Cousin i John, indignantly, as long as such’ pla- i ces as this are licensed and encouraged to ruin these innocent ones, bbdy and j&ul; as long as our law-makers deliberately make it unsafe for the helpless ones tq walk our .streets unprotected. This little one,” gently caressing the sobbing girl, “has escaped. Think of the thousands of ill- fated ones who i do not. And the policeman assented with a sigh. That evening, with the poor, torn hands carefully bound up, Belle sobbed out the whole story to her affrighted parents. It was a bitter lesson, and whenever her schoolmates spoke of flirtations of any kind, a vision of the hard wicked face of Mme. Corallie and "Walt rose before her. Don t do it. girls, for though you may never have Belle’s experience, still it lias brushed from the grape its soft blue, From the rosebud has shaken the tremulous dew. And you can’t afford it. This unfortunate girl escaped the trap which was laid for her feet. But while we thank our guarding angel that she did. a wail conies up from ail parts of our fair land—hear it, you who would deny mothers the right of making laws to protect their spotless ones ; -‘think of the thousands of ill-fated ones who do not.” Henry Clement, Almonte, writes: “For a long time I was troubled with chronic Rheumatism, at times wholly disabled; I tried anything and everything recommended, but failed to get any benefit until a gentleman who was cured of Rheumatism by Dr. Thomas’ Eclcctric Oil told me about it. I began using it both internally and externally, and before two bottles were used 1 was radically cured. We dud it a household medicine, and for Croup, Burns, Cuts, and Bruises, it has no equal.
