No External Symptoms. The blood may be in bad condition, yet with no external signs, no skin eruption or sores to indicate it The symptoms in such cases being a variable appetite, poor digestion, an indescribable weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh and a general run-down condition of the system — clearly showing the blood has lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin and watery. It is in just such cases that S. S. S. has done some of its quickest and most effective work by building up the blood and supplying the elements lacking to make it strong and vigorous. “ My wife used several bottles of S. S.

Allyn rode abross the prairie joyously and looked longingly toward the east, where tile sun was scarce an hour high. The fresh, bracing air seemed to permeate every fiber of his being, and he drew in great breaths of it. feeling a wild sort of pleasure in the mere faet of being alive. For once in three years he was happy. and be bail been in that beatific state for two whole days The rest of the cowboys of the outfit did not know ■what to make of it. Cayuse Ike swore he had been "locoed,” for Allyn had been nicknamed by the camp Sorrowful Jim, and to see him boyishly exuberant and in a gay humor was an unheard of thing until the last day or so. Allyn had once made the mistake of considering life a very serious matter indeed, and then, after trying for a year to practice law and not getting any one to practice upon he had given it up in disgust and migrated to the home of opportunity in hope of getting rich. During his idle hours Allyn had fallen in love, and he took that very seriously also. It went hard with him, for he had nothing on earth except a few bonds an old aunt had left him and the revenue from them did not amount to S3OO a year. At the rate his practice was not Increasing Methuselah would have been a youngster compared with Allyn if he waited for the revenue from his profession to enable him to marry. “Jim,” she said, “you are acting very foolishly. What does it matter if you haven't any money? I don’t want money. I’ve got enough, or will have when I am 24. when I get control of it. That would keep ns very nicely and would hold us up until you could establish a paying practice. Now don’t be silly.” “Nelly,” he said solemnly. "I cannot afford to marry now. People would say that 1 married you for you money, and 1 don’t intend to put myself In a [resition where such a motive could be imputed to m». It would be unjust to me and to you.” “Well. Jim.” and there were tears in her voice. “I don't think you are net ing fairly toward me. Here I am an orphan, with nobody on the earth to love except an old guardian, and 1 despise him. You've made me love you so that life without you will be worse than no life at all, and now you say you cannot merry me until you make what It took my father a lifetime to accumulate. Why. by that time I’ll have wrinkles and maybe false teeth and glasses and be a horrid, snuffy, fussy old woman.” “No, Nell, 1 don’t want to make $200.000. If 1 had $100,(MX) It would be all right. And It wll' not take long. Out west I will make It quickly. Just you stand fast end wait for me.” “Oh, I’ll wait, but 1 think you are hateful and pigheaded just the same. Would you marry me if 1 hadn’t any money at nil?” “Yes. gladly, nnd we would be happy too. You would manage somehow. But [Ur.

now my self respect aill not allow me.” So it was that he went to make his fortune and at the peace with his unduly active conscience. To his utter disgust he found, after a year's prospecting, that gold mines were not at all plentiful, and that every foot of the mountains had been prospected over time and again. A year in Mexico assured him that ’be business of finding silver mines lying around loose had also played out long ago, and that it took lots of capital to start ranching on a paying basis. Funds were getting low, so he secured a place as one of the herdsmen of the XXX outfit and on account of his grave demeanor was promptly named by the other cowpunchers Sorrowful Jim. And. the name stuck to him. During all his wanderings he had written to Nell as regularly as possible and had begun to regret in a measure his Puritanical conscience. At S4O a month and grub he did not see that a fortune was In Immediate prospect Absence bad indeed made his heart grow fonder, and he longed for a sight of Nell's laughing eyes and dimpled face. Yet he would not acknowledge himself beaten or that he would give in. Much against his inclination he remained consumed with a desire to see her, yet impelled to remain In stiff necked pride, acting as avant courier and escort for a lot of wild eyed, long horned steers, all the while cursing himself for a fool. So be and the rest of the outfit did not have very much in common together, and be grew more and more unsociable and lonely. Small wonder was It. then, that when he received a letter from her he felt that his voluntary exile was broken. His penance was done, and be was free to return to civilization and Nelly. “You come on. Jim, dear,” the letter said—“that is. of course, if you care to take an almost dowerless bride. I have now only enough left to bring me in S3OO a year—exactly wbat you bad. I do not own another thing on earth. I had concluded that the money without you is not worth having, and as long ns you are so stubborn about it 1 saw that 1 must give in, so I have done so gladly. 1 have got to be 24, as you know, and have absolute control over my property. So, in order to get you, 1 have given away my fortune. “You have cost me nearly SIOO,OOO, so I’m of the opinion that you bad better come on and deliver yourself up as a victim. 1 don t propose to tell you another thing about it, as you have no right to know now. After—after—oh. well, some time I will tell you what 1 did with the rest of the money, but just now it is no affair of yours. You will simply have to take my word for it. Come on, Jim. I am anxious to see you.” So it was that Jim was so happy. He bad only two more days to wait; then be would get his month's wages. He had S4OO saved up, and he reflected that he and Nelly would manage to get along nicelv on that for awhile His pride was riding rampant, also, and bis conscience was very self satisfied. indeed, fcr bad he not held out against the allurements of beauty, wealth, position, ease—everything? It was a victory well worth rejoicing over. The ceremony was over, the few intimate friends bad taken their departure, and Jim and Nell looked at each other in a bewildered sort of way. "1 think we ought to take a trip. Jim. I'm so deadly tired of this place. I don’t know what to do. Let’s go to Europe. I’ve always wanted to go there.” “Nelly, are you daft? I can’t afford a trip to Europe, and you know It And you haven’t any money either, so how are w? to go 7 ” “I think it is very unkind of a person of your wealth to be taunting me w’tb my poverty. For a man as rich ns you. I think you ar» undoubtedly ‘close.’ ” Iler eyes twinkled merrily. “I want to go to Europe, and now. I’ve got yon to go with me you ought to be glad of jhe opportunity.” “Nell. dear, if 1 could afford It you know I would be delighted to take you.” “Well, you can afford It.” “I tell you I cauuoL” "I know better—you can. Why. just look at these.” and she banded him a bundle of hooks and papers. He picked up the first one and read the inside page: “First National Bank, In account with James M. Allyn. Deposited May 1. $35,000; May 9. $12,000; May 12, $12,000. "What does this mean. Nell?” he asked wonderingly as ho looked at another book and read: “Received May 9. bonds, mortgages, stocks and securities duly transferred and assigned to James M. Allyn, and aggregating $130.000. nnd more particularly described ns follows: The Trust and Safe Deposit company.” Nell was hugely enjoying the situation. She seated herself oo tbe arm of the chair and said: "You dear old stupid, mulish, stubborn thing. I told you the truth, for 1 gave everything 1 owed to you before I wrote that letter. I told the truth, for I reserved just enough to bring me In S3OO a year.” “Well, I’ll be”— Rhe kissed film and Stopped tbe word. “Are you going to Europe?” she asked. "Yen. I think I would enjoy the trip myself, but don’t ycu think you paid too much for me 7 ” “Oh, I don’t know. Not as long as you nre nice ns you are now. Come on. Let’s get ready and catch the steamer leaving tomorrow evening.”— St. Louis Star. An Islahman's Ruse. In the pioneer days of Victoria. B. C.. a Hlbe-nlan drayman, whose property abutted on to that of a merchant, was very much disgusted to find that the merchant’s chickens were constantly

I in his little garden patch and would ; root up his flowers and vegetables. Appeals to tbe merchant, who was I a patron of tbe drayman, were of no avail, so the following ruse was adopted: # Our friend from the Emerald Isle purchased some eggs and placed them here and there In his garden. He then awaited the merchant's wife, who would call the chickens to feed them, and in full view of the lady picked up tbe eggs and put them in Ills hat. The lady asked Mike what be was doing. “Oh. getting a few eggs for my breakfast.” said be. "Well.” said the lady, “you have no chickens. Tbe eggs are mine.” “Ob. sure are they, mum. Then wbat do they do in my garden? Anything on my premises Is my own.” After this the fence was made chicken proof. and Mike bad no more trouble.—London Tit-Bits. A Story of Diimna.

Dumas tells about It in bis story of ‘Monte-Chris-to.’ ” “Indeed.” replied the author. "Alexandre Dumas must be familiar with all tbe surroundings here. Perhaps you know him?” “I should think so. He is one of my best friends.” "And you are one of his,” replied tbe impulsive scribe, letting 2 louis d’or slip into the hand of tbe astonished guide. Scientific Renearcb.
