T H E U E M O D E L E D B U I I . D I N O .
In the neat and modern house of
of worship now occupied by our Bap-
tist friends one will fail to recognize
tho old building. An addition 18x30 has been made on the east side which
opens into the main part by large
sliding doors'so that both parts are
praclicrtlly one. The platform and
pulpit has been placed on the west
side and the building furnished with
handsome and comfortable atsembly
chairs. The whole building has been
raised to allow tor a roomy basement
where a furnace will be placed and a
commodiors supper room built. The
whole building has been newly pap'er-
ed and painted inside and out, and
the belfry and entrance have been
made to accord with the re modeled
temple. When the furnace is in and
the basement finished, the total cost
of the improvement will be about
SI600, nearly all of which has been
provided for.
The work has been well done and
Lowell Baptists are to be congratu-
lated upon their handsome and com-
fortable house of worship. Long
may it endure.

TEE HCELlff lCE OF SYRUP OF IKiS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, bat also to tbe care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the CALIFOBSIA F I O SVBUP Co, only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As tbe genuine Syrup of Pigs is manufactured b y t h e CAUPORHIA F IO ST B C P C o . only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par-ties. The high standing of the CALI-FOBKIA FIG Sn tup Co. with the medi-cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken-ing them, and it does not gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company—

He loved h e r ! He loved h e r ! Oh. wha t ea r th ly happ ines s could l-e

She could not speak ; but she looked up. and E v a n read the t r u t h in t hose sweet , shy , mel t ing eyes. He opened
his a r m s and drew her wi th in them. And Day made no res i s t ance , but bur-led h e r face on hid breast , un t i l he bade h e r aga in lift It up, and then laid on her y o u n g lips t he first k i s s of love they had ever k n o w n .
C H A P T E R - V ' l l , One d a y Magnus had come home

enough, l ike a t ac t fu l ma iden a? s h e was, no t to ask h i m a n y t h i n g ; bu t when s h e had given him h i s tea, a n d Magnus w a s lean ing back in h is cha i r , he sudden ly s a id :
"Your f r i end , Mr, Monte i th , was a t the cas'.lc when 1 was there . Day," Day s t a r t e d , and w a r m blood rushed
in to h e r cheeks , t hen receded, leav-ing t h e m deadly pale ,
" W i t h — M i s s S t u a r t ? " she asked, a f -ter a l ong pause.
" W i t h MIES S t u a r t . " Magnus repl ied. In a t o n e of a s sumed cheer fu lness , l i^ was s i lent for a l i t t l e : t hen , r is ing,
walked to his s i s t e r ' s side a u d laid .11s hand on her shou .ders ,
"My d e a r l i t i le s i s te r , t h e r e is j u s t one word 1 wi th to say to you. 2nd

Day heid up h e r mou th to his. bu t a ru sh of mingled t e n d e r n e s s and pi ty swept over Magnus as he felt the p i t i -ful t r e m b l i u g of h e r Hps. She made a brave c f i o n lo smi le , a n d succeeded not badly.
" T h a t is l ike m y joyous Day." said Msgnus , smi i lug . His o w n gloom had di. '-ippcared in h i s effor t to r ende r her chee r fu l .
" N o w a n o t h e r cup of tea, l i t t le one, 1 am going ove r to K i r k w a l l tomor-row. Day—or. r a t h e r , to Scapa . C a p t F e i i ' u s u n ' s boy is ill. and ho wishes me 10 see him.

Day ' s hea r t w a s sick wi th in her . but she made a n o t h e r brave a t t emp t to look del ighted, t hough t h e projected t r ip he-Id out no a t t r a c t i o n s for her 30W, A fo r tn igh t ago she would h a v e leaped at it wi th chi ldish del ight ,
